Co., Limited Builders of a Complete Line of SAW MILL MAGHINERY STEAM TENSION BAND MILL" FOR SINGLE OR DOUBLE CUTTING Before the introduction of the Steam Tension Mill, it had been the universal custom to maintain the strain on the saw by the use of some system of levers and weights. It is well-known that the action of a weight--especially one as heavy as must be used in the tension mechanism of a band mill--is neces- sarily slow on account of its inertia. Every practical mill man will admit that, in order to get the best results in sawing, the! tension de- vice should be very sensitive and capable of responding instantly to the varying demands of the work. As it is manifestly impos- sible for any form of weight tension Na ae to meet these requirements, we have ~ substituted for the weight a direct acting steam cylinder, so arranged that the strain on the saw can be varied at will from 3,500 pounds up to any required amount. It will be evident to anyone familiar with the use of steam that the action of this saw straining device must be instantaneous, and consequently the saw will always be kept in proper tension to do its best work. We have a booklet giving a great many more points of advantage possessed by this mill—write Dept. L for it. | Branch Office : Head Office and Works: Vancouver, B. C.

Requires about 7 h.p. to drive it full speed in work and one man can handle it and bark 22 to 30 cords of 4 foot wood per 7 day according to average size a! ymee of wood. % aa Weight 4,200 lbs. Wood is fed end on and any size from 3 to 24 inches, as the wood runs with- out loss of time between sticks. No long shavings and greatest economy in wood. Machines may be seen working any time. Write me for full particulars. | TESTIMONIAL We, the undersigned, were invited by Mr. Smyth, Selling Agent of the Moreau BARKING MacninE, to visit Moosepark to see one of these machines in operation. We accepted on the 27th October, and ourselves measured 3% cords of wood in the rough (100 sqr. ft. S. M.) of 4 feet wood, which was put over the machine in 58 minutes and measured up afterwards 2% cords ‘ (80 sqr. ft. S. M.) The wood was small and of very poor quality, which was in our opinion a very severe test for the machine, and we are pertectly satisfied that with fair size and quality wood the machine would work faster and with considerably less loss. The barking was in every way satisfactory ) and two men handled the machine, but with a feed chain the machine can be run by one man satisfactorily. We consider it an all round good machine, well built, easily manipulated and not complicated in its parts, and heartily recommend it to any person requiring a good barking machine. O. W.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN JANUARY, 1905 © EARLY HISTORY OF “THE CANADA LUMBERMAN” THE CANADA LuM- BERMAN was founded by Mr. Alexander Begg, the well known writer, in the year 1880, the first number, which was published in Toronto, being dated October 15th. In his in- troductory he says: ‘‘ Though much _ attention has been given to the lumbering interests by the press of Canada, yet it is felt that a special organ, which would concentrate the views of those who understand the business and present them to the public in a way in which they could be fairly discussed, with a full com- prehension of the value of the vast interests involved, would not merely serve those who are engaged in the trade and their employees, but also the country at large. Let it be remembered that the lumbering interest is the second greatest in Canada—being next to the agricultural. . . It would be out of place in this introductory to enter into details as to the vast resources of Canada as a timber pro- ducing country. It has not infrequently been sneered at asa ‘‘wooden country,” and the taunt is neither without foundation nor is it one to be ashamed of. Canada is indeed a wooden country, but its woods are fast disap- pearing, and one of the prime elements of its early growth is being ruthlessly destroyed, by the old style of management on the part of the Government and the reckless indifference of the people. It will be the duty of THz LuMBERMAN to point out the injuries annually inflicted on the wooden wealth of Canada by reckless tree felling and the still more reckless starting of forest fires whether by sportsmen or settlers. Even in the latter particular our journal may, by assisting in arousing public opinion, be the E, J. TOKER. means of saving millions of dollars to the country in a single year.” Before six months had elapsed Mr. Begg sold THe LuMBERMAN to Messrs. Toker & Company, the publishers of the Peterborough Review, the firm consisting of Mr. E. J. Toker, now Secretary-Treasurer of the Peterborough Review Printing and Publishing Company, and editor of the Review, and Mr. John Carnegie, formerly M. L. A. for West Peterborough. By this firm the CANADA LUMBERMAN was published in Peterborough for over five years, their first number being issued on March 15th, 1881. In the introductory article promise was made that “Tt will contain those accurate statistics which are necessary to the trade as a basis for intelli- gent operation. Not only will the markets with which the trade haveto do be carefully reported, but the most trustworthy information possible will be obtained from each locality of the production of timber and lumber, and of By E. J. TOKER. the stock in hand. We will aim not only at advocating any measure that may be for the advantage of the lumbermen, but at affording a means by which they may express their wants and wishes or exchange ideas on sub- jects of interest to them. By this means we also hope that their mutual action may be facilitated.” It was also promised in this introductory article that ‘‘THE LuMBERMAN will advocate the establishment of a ‘Bureau of Woods and Forests’ in connection with the Provincial Gov- ernment. It is generally admitted that the interests of the Provincial Treasury are identi- cal with those of the limit holders, and there is room for legislation to protect the public revenue while at the same time guarding the vested rights ofthe timber licensees. Unfor- tunately, in the past legislation has brought the settler and the lumberman into antagonism. ‘Without discussing how this has been brought about, it will be aleading object of this paper to uphold that purely timber areas should not be open to settlement uutil the timber has been exhausted. To determine and locate these timber areas is a matter that should be delt with at once by the proposed Bureau of Woods and Forests. ... The process might be that in the first place all the wild land should come under the super- vision of the Bureau of Woods and Forests— their dictum being obtained as to what portions should be reserved for lumbering operations ; those lands excluded by them as not strictly fulfilling the conditions of a timber area should then be dealt with by the Crown Lands Department and exposed for sale from time to time as might be deemed advisable. Unfortu- nately, in the past succeeding Ontario adminis- trations have thrown into the market large areas of timber limits purely and simply for the purpose of creating surpluses, which has given them a great deal of trouble to dispose of to the general satisfaction of the different parts of the Province. Had the evil stopped here, however, it would not have been so bad, but as the public are aware, there is a sort of fictitious settlement that invariably follows the track of the lumberman and will continue to do so if the lands are open for sale. It is generally the fictitious settlement that has originated those large fires which have destroyed, asit is claim- ed, almost a third part of the pine timber of Ontario. The course we suggest for dealing with this question would reduce the fire risk to a minimum. The plantation of new forests would also properly come under the jurisdic- tion of the Bureau of Woods and Forests.” After an experience of about five and one- half years, Messrs. Toker & Company, finding that they were unable to do justice both to the CANADA LUMBERMAN and the Peterborough Review, sold THE LuMBERMAN to Mr. A. G. Mortimer, who continued to publish it in Peter- borough until September, 1886, when he remov- ed the office of publication to Toronto. In April, 1894, Mr. A. G. Mortimer transferred ~ extensive the journal to the present publishers, who have been-able to devote more attention to it, and under their management it has more fully carried out the intentions of their predecessors. It has been improved and enlarged till it is now recognized by the lumbering and allied industries as a satisfactory representative of their interests. ; OLD DAYS IN PETERBOROUGH. In the days when the CanaDA LUMBERMAN was first published in Peterborough the town and district was a lumbering centre of consid- erable importance. The hiring and assembling of men fortheshanties, and still moretheirreturn in the Spring, and that of the river drivers at a later date, enlivened the town in a manner that could not fail to attract attention. The sup- plies for the lumber camps were an important portion of the business of our townsmen, and put many a dollar into the pockets of our farm-— ers. We have a considerable French popu- lation from some of the more prudent of the shantymen buying lots, building and establish- ing their families among us. The time had gone by a few years when square timber was one of.the chief products of the forests of the district and when parties used to go ten miles up the river to Lakefield to have the excite- ment of the run down the almost constant rapids on a timber raft. But huge drives of sawlogs were a marked featureon our rivers and lakes. Wherever there was a suitable site on these waters, celebrated for their abundant water power, there was asaw mill in full oper- ation. In Peterborough onthe Little Lake was a steam saw mill run by Mr. McDonald. - It was afterwards burned, when Mr. McDonald pur- chased from the Bank of Commerce a larger steam mill at Nassau, which had only been run a short time, and removed it to the Little Lake. On the river in the centre of the town front was the fine saw mill of the Dickson Company, the property of the heirs of the late Mr. Samuel Dickson, who was killed by the breaking up of his dam by the heavy floods in the spring of 1870. The business was for many years under the management of his son-in-law, the late Mr. T. G. Hazlett. The site and the fine water power are now occupied and used by the Cereal Company, the Dickson Company , having, as elsewhere mentioned, made other arrangements for cutting the logs from their limit. The Peterborough Light and Power Company is also served by this dam. the saw mill of the late Mr. George Hilliard, afterwards M. P. for West Peterborough. The power here is now used by the Auburn Wool- len Company for their extensive factory. Close above had been the saw mill of Mr. William Snyder, but it had ceased running long before 1881. The power here was acquired by the Peterborough Waterworks Company, now owned by the town and oper-— ated for fire protection and domestic use. A little way up the river at Auburn was - JANUARY, 1905 Further up the river at Nassau was the Red Mill, which was built and first owned by the late Mr. Charles Perry, M. P. for West Peter- borough. He was succeeded by Messrs. Campbell & Houston, who had extensive limits in the district,till the senior partner, Mr. A. H. Campbell, the well known lumberman, re- moved to Toronto, thence conducting his busi- ness to the northward. It subsequently was acquired by Messrs. Boyd, Smith & Irwin, and after the death of Mr. Smith was operated by Messrs. Irwin & Boyd, who were running it at the time THE Lum- BERMAN was founded. Mr. Gardner Boyd, who was the eldest son of Mr. Mossom Boyd, of Bobcaygeon, subse- quently left the business, which was continued by Mr. J. M. Irwin alone. Mr. Irwin erected a new steam saw mill on the THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 27 power down the river already mentioned to run the cement works. At Bridgenorth, on Chemong Lake, was a small steam saw mill then run by Mr. Kelly, as it stillis by his son. On the same lake there is a small saw mill operated by Mr. Brunwell. At Buckhorn was the mill of Mr. N. Shaw, afterwards owned by the late Mr. W. H. Hall. It has not been used for many years and has ing on a large scale in British Columbia. At Fenelon’ Falls, between Pigeon and Cameron Lakes, was the saw mill of Mr. R.C. Smith. Messrs. Green & Ellis and Hilliard & Mowry also had mills at Fenelon Falls. Now these mills have all been removed, but the Rathbun Company have a millat the Falls. Going down the Otonabee River Messrs. McDougall & Ludgate and Ullyott & Saddler had two large saw mills at Harwood. on the south shore of Rice Lake, but they have been re- moved. Mr. Burnett now has asaw mill on the north shore of the same lake. Fowlds Bros. have a saw and grist inill at Hastings on the River Trent, which tinuation of the Otonabee with the change of name. is a con- It will have been seen from this brief retrospect that at Peterborough, on down side of the river YOL.

PRICE FIVE CENTS. the Otonabee River and on the magnificent chain opposite the Red Mill, and this, as we have said, was afterwards bought by Mr. McDon- ald and removed to Peterborough. The Red Mill was broken up for its material. The power is now used by the Cana- dian General Electric Company for their very extensive works in Peterborough, About half a mile up stream on the first dam above the Nassau dam is the building of the Otonabee Power Com- pany, from which electric power is conveyed to Peterborough. Nearly two miles further up is the power house of the Lakefield Cement Com- pany, from which power is conveyed to Lakefield. Some nine miles up the river from Peterborough, at the Village of Lake- field, was the fine saw mill with excellent water power then run by the INTRODUCTORY ——s a In bringing before the public a new jour- nal, specially devoted to lumbering interests, and incidentally to milling, manufacturing and mining, as being kindred forms of the development of the national industry, there is little apology needed. As there are spe- cial branches in trade, so there are special departments in journalism. The daily pa- per, morning and evening; rushes forth with- out regard or respéct for any interest, but with an intention well formed to treat all fairly ; and the result is a little gencral in- formation here, a little special pleadiog there, and a large mass of the general gos- sip concerning things that occur upon the streets or elsewhere, but Lave very little practical interest for the business man, no matter what may be the brauch in which he is engaged, Itis for this reason that specialists in journalism have in many cases achieved such remarkable success, Not to speak of the re- ligious jouroals, whose existence depends on the zeal of the sects, thera are others, such as the Bullionist, the Seientfic Amsrican, the Grocer, &c. &c., that represent special interests in trade and acienco, aud they all receive s more or leas generons support, from their own class—from those who are interested in the specialties they represent, Though much attention has been given to the lumbering interests by the press of Canada, yet it is felt that a special organ, which would concentrate the views of those who understand the business, ond present them to the public ina way in which they could be fairly discussed, with a full com- prebension of the value of the vast interests involved, would not merely serve those who aro engaged in the trade, and their employecs,"but also the country at large. Let it be remembered that the Lamberiog interest is the second greatest in Canada— being next fo the agricultural. Now, mia- ing, milling sod general manufacturing, na- turally take » secondary and_ subservient position, as being dependent on the success and progress of the two great national indus- tries—agriculture and Jumbering. In pro- portion as they prosper, co will be the general prosperity of the country. It would be out of place in this ‘‘ Intro- ductory” to enter into details as to the vast resources of Canadaas s timber producing country. It has not unfrequently been gneered at as a “ wooden country, and the | taunt is neither withc ut foundation, norisit one to be ashamed of. Cansda is indeed a wooden country, but its woods are fast disappearing, and one of the prime elements of its early growth, is being rathlesely deatroyed by the;old style of man- agement on the part of the government, and the reckless indifference of the people. It will be the duty of the Lumsrerman to point out the injuries annually inflicted on the wooden wealth of Canada, by reckliss tree-felling, and the still more reckless start- ing of forest fires, whether by sportsmen or settlers. Even in the latter particular, our journal may, by assistiog in arousivg public opinion, be the means of saving millions of dollars to the country in a single year. But we are not ignorant of the great re- sponsibility of starting this journal. Devoted as it is to a special class of operators, it must mainly look to them for support, It bas not the whole of the reading community to appeal to directly, and hence mast depend for success on the earnest and liberal support of those in whose interest it is published. Lombermen, as a class, are noted for their public spirit and liberality, and we freely trust to their generous support as well as to that of lumber dealers gonerally. Nothing shall be wauting on our part to make this journal a full and complete record of the lumber business, and all that relates to the trade in Canada, To this end the latest market reports, the contributions of trustworthy correspondents, trade cir- culars, etc., will be freely uscd, to give our readers the best, the eurliest, and the most reliable information that can be obtain- ed, concerning the important branch of busi- ness to which the journal will be especially be devote; while the mioing, the milling, and the manufacturing interests will receive attent:on proportionate to their great claims on the public, In short, it will be our endeavour to make the LumBeRMAN worthy of its title in every respect ; and, while giving special attention to the great staple industry to which it is devoted, it will also furnish a carefully se- lected amount of general reading that will make it a welcome visitor in every family. Advertisers, especially those dealing in mill, mining, and lumbering supplics and machinery, will find the LuMBERMAN a very favourable medium of reaching their custom- ers, as it will circulate among these classes, and receiyg more attention from them than they have the time or inclination to bestow on a general newspaper. Watches. Watches, by reason of their fragile con- struction, and the variations to which they are liable, can after all only obtain a limited perfection in their performance ; therefore, we must not be astonished to find them sub- ject to certain variatious. These variations, which are easy to correct, need’ not preju- dice the quality of a watch, as will be prov- ed by the following «xsmple. Two watches, we will suppcse, have been put to the same time by an excellent regulator, At the end of a month, one of there watches isa quar- ter of an hour too fast ; the other is exact- ly right to time. To which of these two watches would we give the preference? Per- haps to the one which is exactly right. But in making such a choice, we nevertheless in- cur the risk of abandoning a good watch for abadone, The first watch, has, we assume, gained 30 seconds a day ; and according to this rate, it has gained a quarter of an hour in 30 days. What must be done to make this watch go well? Alter the regulator in- side from fast to slow, or get a careful watchmaker to do it for you, thereby alter- ing its daily rate. Let us now admit that the other watch has been affected duriog a month by irregular going, which has occa- sioncd it sometimes to gain, at other times to lose to w certain extent daily, It may easily occur that at the end of a month this gaining and losing compensate each other, and by this means the watch indicates the exact hour at the tine we look atit. Such a watch can never be relied upon. The fact is that a watch which gains in a regular manner or loses in a regular manner is su- perior to any whose variation is uncertain, and where its variation comes to be familiar, the little companion may vie with the most delicately adjusted ship's chronometer. A skilful watch-maker one day thus reasoned with a customer who complained of his watch, ‘* You complained,” said he, ‘‘ that your watch gains a minute a month. Well, then, you will congratulate yourself when you have heard me, You are aware that in your watch the balance, which is the regu- lator, makes five oscillations every. second, which is 432,000 day ; so that your watch, exposed to ail the viciasitudes which heat and cold occasion it, the varying weight of the air, and the shaking to which it is sub- jected, has not varied more than @ minute a month, or two s-cm:ds 2 day. It has only acquired wit: each vibiation«f the balance @ Variation of the two lundred and vixteen thousandth part of a sccoud. Judge then what must be the extreme perfection of the mechanism of thia watch!” A watch can- not go for an indefinite period without beiug repaired or cleaned. Atthe expiration of a certain time, the oi] driesup, dust accumu- lates, andl wear ond tear are the inevitable results to the whole machinery, the func- tions becoming irreyular, and frequently ceasing to ac’ altogether. A peraon posses- sing a watch df good quality, and desirous of preserving it a3 such, shou’d have it ¢ ean- ed every two yearsxt least. But care should be taken to conlide this cleaning or repairing to careful lauds; an incapable workman FACSIMILE OF First PAGE OF First NUMBER OF THE CANADA rotted down.

In the new issue (No. 6.) of Behm and Wagner's well-known ‘‘Bevolkerung der Erde” there are several points of fresh inte- Yest, Since the last issue, about two years ago, the population would seem to have been increased by about 17,000,000, ‘the present population of the earth, according to Behm and Wagner, being 1,456,000,000, as against 1,439,000,000 two years ago, This, howev- er, can not be set down to absolute natural increase, much of the addition being, no doubt, the result of new and more accurate statistics, The new issue has, for example, to take account of several new censuses, some of them in countries where the popula- tion has not been accurately coun’ for Bee eh if at all. We have, for exam- ple the census of Spain in 1877; Portugal, 1878 ; Greece, 1879; Bosnia and Herzego- vina, 1879 ; New Zealand, 1878; Peru, 1876; Denmark, 1880, besides several smaller places. The total population is divided among the continents as follows: Europe, 315,929,000, or at the ratio of 32.5 pS square kilometre ; Asia, 834,707,000, or 187- per square kilometre; Africa, 205,579,00., or 6.9 per square kilometre; America, 950 495,500, or 2.5 per square kilometre; Aus, tralia and Polynesia, 4,031,000, or 04 per square kilometre; the remainder, 82,000, belong to the north polar region, mostly Ice- land and Greenland. Although the census of the United States has been taken some months since, and a few of the data oozed out in an“ irregular fashion, Herren Behm and Wagner have not made any use of the results, wisely preferring to await official statistics. They calculate that the census ought to give a result of at least 47,000,000. The editors have also given a fresh plani- metrical calculation of the area of Africa, yielding a result of 29,383,390 square kilo- metres, Of this area aboutsix and a third milli ni are forests and culture land, the same area gavannahs and scattered woods, 1,500,000 bush, 4,290,000 steppe, and 10,- 500,000 desert. This last item seems ap- palling, but it should be remembered that much of this desert may be reclaimable, and that it includes large areas of fertile oases, A new p anvimetric calculation of the area of South America yields the result of 16,732,- 128 square kilometres, differing greatly from the sum of the official areas given by the South Aierican governments, Mr. E. B. Eddy, of Ottawa, Ont., has tak- ena ten years’ lease of the Lovejoy pre- mises in Odgensburg, and will at once trans- fer them into a match and hox factory. While there on Friday he let a contract of the value of $1,200 to put the buildings into proper shape. In E. C. Cane’s mill, Gravenhurst, on Tuesday, Neil McMillen sawed, on one of Goldie & McCullough’s machines, 42,600 of 16-inch shingles, within eleven hours, The shingles were jointed by Archibald McKin- non, and Edward Collis packed 32,900. LUMBERMAN. of the Kawartha Lakes, there was much lumber cut from the extensive pine limits tributary to these waters. Many of these mills are now clos:d and have succeeded by other in- dustries. This is the route of the Trent Canal now under construction been as a means of transpor- tation for the harvest of the great westeiu prairies to the St. Lawrence ports. At Peterborough there has been construct- eda hydraulic litt lock, the largest in the world and unique in its design. The days of which we have been speaking have gone by. Mills that have been burnt have not been rebuilt. Their sites have been otherwise occupied and the water power has been turned to other uses. Peterborough is no longer a lumbering centre. There is a con- siderable cut by the Dickson Company at Messrs. Strickland. The property has been acquired by the Dickson Company, who are cutting there as well as at their new mill on the Little Lake, Peterborough. There is also at Lakefield a new steam saw mill run by Messrs. Tate & Lillicrap, and besides the grist mills of Mr. John Hull and Mr. McAlister, there is Mr. T. J. Moore’s planing mill. At Young’s Point, at the foot of Clear Lake, Was a small saw mill run by the Youngs, which was taken down when the power house was built. The Lakefield Cement Company, with its large output, derives its power from this dam, which is used in connection with the north of Buckhorn, was the saw mill operated by the late Mr. W. A. Scott, who had very extensive limits in the district. It was taken down by the Dickson Company, when they subsequently acquired the Scott limits. At Bobcaygeon Village, between Sturgeon and Pigeon Lakes, was the fine saw mill of that well known lumberman, the late Mr. Mossom Boyd. At present it is owned by his sons, Mossom and William, under the old firm title of Mossom Boyd & Company. They have now nearly ceased to operate, their limits being exhausted, but they are lumber- Lakefield and by them and the McDonald Company on the Little Lake, an enlargement of the Otonabee River situated within the town, but most of the logs, which still pass us in great numbers, are on their way to the mills of the Gilmours at Trenton and the Rathbuns at Deseronto. With the lumbering the time is past when one could get slabs and edgings for fuel from the mills for the carting, as so much was thus saved from the carriage to the ever burning Even, the banks and bars of saw- rapidly and piles. dust which grew so inconven- 28 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN iently are now diminishing instead of increas- ing. In those days the William Hamilton Com- pany, the noted manufacturers of sawmill machinery, of course did a large local as well as outside business, but they can hardly miss the local work, so wide spread is the demand for their machinery, which is to be found in the largest mills in Ottawa and other parts of old Canada, and right away to the Pacific slope. There is also, it may be added, a large increase in the demand for their equally celebrated mining and hydraulic machinery. Another local industry of importance has also its association with lumbering. Our well known canoes are used extensively by the lum- bermen for their lighter work, and the factories consume large quantities of wood. A larger number of canoes are turned out in Peter- borough than any other place and these little crafts are to be found almost throughout the civilized world. There are also canoe factories up the river at Lakefield with a large output. In the eighties the late John Bertram had not become a lumberman on a large scale nor a strong advocate of conservative forestry, but was conducting a hardware business in Peterborough, which he at one time repre- sented in the House of Commons. Mr. Bert- ram was here again recently as Chairman of the Transportation Commission to take evi- dence regarding the Trent Waterway. Of course, the withdrawal of the lumbering business in a great measure from Peterborough was a loss to the town, but this did not cause a set-back, other industries taking its place, so that there has been continued progress. The old sites and the water powers have been made available for manufacturing purposes of even greater magnitude. For instance, the Cereal Company, with its enormous Outputs of ‘‘Quaker Oats” and other breakfast foods, have built their immense works on the site of the old Dickson saw mill. The extensive General Electric works have utilized the excellent water power at Nassau of the old ‘‘Red Mill” where Messrs. Smith, Boyd & Irwin used to turn out the lumber from their extensive limits. The power at other dams which abound on the Otonabee have similarly been put to good use. OUR FORESTS. Looking back through this quarter of a cen- tury one cannot fail to be struck with the change in the value of our forests and of the ‘output of the lumberman. Even those who have no connection with the business in any way, the general public, have been made aware by experience of the great increase in the price of lumber. That the value placed upon timber limits should have risen in proportion matter of course. is a Since THE Canapa Lu: BERMAN Came into existence the following have been the sales of limits by the Ontario Govern- ment : Year.

Mackie, of Pembroke, giving $31,500 for a square mile of timber. It must also be remem- bered that the rental and stumpage dues have been raised considerably. This applies chiefly to pine, but the hardwood is also increasing in demand and in value. A quarter of a century ago wood pulp for paper had hardly been heard of. Now itisa very important industry, being already of great magnitude and rapidly increasing. This is making great demands upon the extensive spruce forests of Ontario and other Provinces. So far paper for news and superior qualities is made almost entirely from spruce, other woods being little used as yet in Canada. FORESTRY. While it was published by Toker & Com- pany, THE CANADA LUMBERMAN, as announced in its introductory, continued to advocate conservative forestry and the economical, far- sighted utilization of the woodland wealth of the Dominion, and this course has been main- tained by the present publishers. The writer was asked more. than-once in those days how THE LuMBERMAN could venture to advocate so strongly and persistently the preservation of the forests, when its clients, the lumbermen, were the greatest forest destroyers. We were able to answer not only that we had heard no protests nor complaints, but that on the con- trary we had received several expressions of approval ; that in fact some of the strongest advocates of the preservation and the scientific management of our forests were to be found in the ranks of the lumbermen, as is also the case at the present day. It was uphill work to secure any adequate recognition of the im- portance of this subject. Any warning that our woodlands and especially our pine forests were not inexhaustible, that considerations of prudence dictated that they should be econo- mized and conserved, were received with im- patience by the general public, and con- sequently by the politicians. The growing interest is due to those early workers, with their arguments reinforced by the evidently increased scarcity and the rapidly enhancing value of our pine lands. THe Canapa Lum- BERMAN may fairly claim that it has done its full share in this pioneer work. The steps that have been and are being tak- en in the right direction in this matter are not a question of party politics, for if one party first suggested the setting apart of our forest lands as distinct from the agricultural districts, the prohibition of the exportation of saw logs and so forth, the other party has been able to take practical steps to forward the pro- gress of this wise policy. The Dominion has established forest reserves and parks com- prising nearly 10,000,000 acres, and both Ontario and Quebec have very extensive re- serves. The announcement by the Ontario authorities of their intention of disposing of the timber on their reserves not by granting licenses for limits but by selling the right to cut seclected trees, is also a step towards a less uneconomical system. Another movement in ~~ ie oee ee JANUARY, 1905 a advance is the steps being taken, far from complete as yet, to define our woodland areas and to estimate approximately the amount of the different kinds of timber and merchantable woods. Till this is accomplished we will not be in a position to deal intelligently with our still rich forest resources. Considerable atten- tion is also being given to reforestation and new plantations. The Dominion has for some years been distributing to the settlers young trees from its model farms till the distribution has now reached the number of nearly 2,000,- - 000 trees, andthe Ontario Minister of Agriculture _ has announced his intention of following this good example by distribution from the Guelph Agricultural College. Itis also in view to afford facilities for instruction in scientific forestry, — and there is reason to hope that more than one of our Universities will make this addition to their curriculum. Altogether, we may look for- ward to means being taken to secure that Canada shall remain in perpetuity a country richly endowed with forest wealth. ——VK—K——_ A SIX-THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD CYPRESS, The statement recently made that there are yews in England which are the oldest living things on this earth is not correct, Says a writ- erin the St. Louis Glohe-Democrat. These yews are old, very, very old; there is no doubt about that ; some of them were stalwart trees even before Czsar landed on those shores. There is one now standing in the churchyard at Fortingal, in Perthshire, which Decandole, nearly a century ago, proved to the satisfac- tion of botanists to be over twenty-five centur- ies old, and another at Hedsor, in Buclas, which is 3,240 years old. rived at an apparently correct estimate of the enormous age of these living trees is a simple thing, and the principle is doubtless well known to-day to all. The yew, like most other trees, adds one line, about the tenth of an inch, to its circumference each year. Heprov- ed this after an investigation extending over several years, and we know now, a hundred years later, that his deductions were correct. The old yew at Hedsor has a trunk twenty- seven feet in diameter, proving its great age, and itis in a flourishing, healthy condition now, like its brother at Fortingal. Their years are few, though, compared with those of the trees I had in mind when I made my first as- sertion that the statement printed about them in a scientific journal was incorrect. In one chapter of his writings Humboldt refers to a gigantic boabab tree in Central Africa as the “oldest organic monument” in the world.- This tree has a trunk twenty-nine feet in dia- meter, and Adanson, by a series of careful measurements, demonstrated conclusively that it had lived for not less than 5,150 years. Still it is not the oldest organic monument in the world, as Humboldt declared, for now Mexican scientists have proved that a huge.cy- press tree, standing in Chapultepec, with a trunk 118 feet and 10 inches in circumference, is older than it—older, too, by more than a thousand years—for it has been shown, as conclusively as these things can be shown, that its age is about 6,260 years. How Decandole ar- - JANUARY, 1905 IN a prairie coun- try one of the first requisites is lumber. So im- portant is this commodity that construction trains will carry lumber into new districts even be- fore the road is opened for gen- eral traffic. In this way the deal- : er gets in a few cars of his consignment in advance. From this small stock he builds a ‘‘ shack” about twelve feet square and covered with tar-paper. _ The office tixtures comprise a bed (for his is per- haps the first building in the town), a store, a bundle of sash for a writing table and his inside pocket for asafe. With an indelible pencil and a note-book in his hip pocket he despises all the elaborate and wonderful systems of the modern accountant, and so with this very _ modest equipment he is prepared to do business with his customers. ___ This was the retail lumberman of Manitoba and the Northwest some twenty odd years ago. His stock was small and confined principally _ tothe lower grades. The incoming settler in those days had neither the inclination nor the _ means to be fastidious. He was indeed lucky _ if he could get enough lumber transported to his far-off homestead for his very modest wants —a floor, a door and a window tor his sod _ shanty, avd a door and mangers for his stable built of the same unpretentious product of the soil. His orders were modest ones but his customers many and spread out over a district sometimes more than a hundred miles in extent. _ The supplies came practically all from the _ American side. Local manufacture was carried _ on for the most part in a very small way. Port- able mills were employed to manutacture common boards and dimensions from the natural wood of the country, spruce and poplar. It was of indifferent quality, but in localities re- a mote from the line of railway it sufficed to meet the modest needs of the setiler. ____ During the eighties and early nineties, owing to the slow settlement of the country and the ‘doubtful results of agricultural pursuits, not _ much advance was made in the lumbering busi- _ mess. The retailer struggled, not always suc- _ cessfully, sharing in the ups and downs, especi- Ee _ally the latter, of the honest, brave, hardwork- ing tiller of the soil, who first bore the forceful brunt of unexpected peculiarities of climate. _ The retail Jumber business was carried on for the most part merely as an adjunct to some other. Stocks were meagre and badly kept, very little attention being given to protect even the upper grades from the damaging effects of wet and weather. With a commendable faith in the future of t 1€ country, plants for the manufacture of lum- ber were being established along the railway . J. L. CAMPBELL, % THE CANADA LUMBERMAN _ 29 By J. L. CAMPBELL, Melita, Man. between Winnipeg and Fort William and in the wooded districts of Manitoba and the Ter- ritories north of the main line in different lo- calities to the foot hills of the Rocky Moun- tains, and succeeded in supplying a large per- centage of the trade of the country. In the eastern district the most important centre was Rat Portage, where several saw milling plants were established. These were not attended with great success. Too many separate or- ganizations and too great an expenditure of antayonistic energy detracted largely from the resultant benefits. About ten years ago the various firms, excepting the Keewatin Lumber Company, amalgamated their interests. These were placed under the able management of Mr. D. C. Cameron. Such gratifying and substantial progress has been made that the Rat Portage Lumber Company occupies now the most important place in the West among what is called the pine manufacturers. One would not expect Winnipeg, situated as it is far from timber limits, to have any lumbering activity.. But in this case the unexpected hap- pens. Floating his logs downethe Rosseau and Red rivers, Mr. D. E. Sprague supplies the material for a saw milling plant of sur- prising dimensions. Commencing in a small way when the city was younger he has kept pace with its marvellous growth, and having this nearby market for his output he has built up the largest local retail trade of any firm in Canada. Coming to Brandon,we have the saw milling interests of the Hanbury Manufacturing Com- pany. Some years ago this company took over the plant of the Assiniboine Lumber Com- pany, with its spruce timber limits in Northern Manitoba. The logs are floated down the Lit- tle Saskatchewan to the Assiniboine river and thence to Brandon. Mr. John Hanbury has devoted his great energy and business enthus- iasm to the expansion of this industry. He has added to it a woodworking factory which for completeness and efficiency is not surpassed in the country. Mention might be made of saw milling plants now operating in the timber districts extending across to the north of the prairie plains, but these three concerns, by vir- tue of their long establishment and conspicu- ous success, stand out prominently in the lum- bering business of the West. Since the early nineties and especially dur- ing the last six years, the North-West Terri- tories have offered an ever increasing market for the large mills of the Coast. Modification of freight rates has enabled these mills to ship their products even to the far eastern parts of Manitoba. The construction of the Crows Nest Pass Railway has rendered possible lum- bering in south-eastern British Columbia. A number of mills have been established here, finding a market in the rapidly growing dis- tricts of Southern Alberta. During the period of expansion in the wholesale branch of the lumbering industry, the retailer of the West has been growing in importance. Conditions have changed greatly THE LUMBER INDUSTRY OF THE CANADIAN NORTHWEST in the last ten years. New districts fill up more rapidly than they used to do. Larger and more buildings are required. In the older districts, and indeed in some new districts too, the farmer no longer builds a shanty ; he must now have a residence up-to-date in style and finish. Instead of a stable of poles and sod he builds stock barns magnificent in proportions and equipped with all modern devices. This great demand for quantity as well as ever in- creasing demand for quality, has made the re- tailer bestir himself to keep pace. Instead of stocks meagre and of indifferent quality they are now large and well assorted. His large lumber sheds systematically care for his ma- terial, preserving it in an improving condition. In theearly days,with a few hundreds invested, he struggled precariously ; now with thous= ands he is recognized in financial circles as a solid man. An important factor in, and of parallel growth with this great expansion of the lum- bering trade, is the Western Retail Lumber- man’s Association. The revival and well-being of the trade dates from its. organization. Mr. Isaac Cockburn, the secretary, has been in- dentified with the association for more than ten years. Though not present at its birth he rocked the cradle and did it well. With par- donable pride he regards the rapid growth and sturdy proportions of the institution as_ his ‘fown bairn.”” Perhaps no man in Canada has’ had a larger or more varied experience in the lumber trade than he. To his wide experience and intimate knowledge he has added indefat- igable enthusiasm and executive ability,so that during the last dozen years the membership of the association has increased ten-fold. - With no notable exception it includes every whole- sale manufacturer and retailer from the Great Lakes to the Rockies, as well as those very important manufacturers on the Coast. Under its influence the trade has been protected, its interests conserved, the wants of the public carefully met, financial accommodation extend- ed to the purchaser with an unusual liberality, and all without unduly enhancing the price to the consumer. What promises to have an important bear- ing on the trade has been the establishment of what are called line yards. Companies are formed to carry on business in grain and lum- ber. Along certain lines of railway, prefer- ably new ones, they build a series of elevators for the handling of grain and establish lumber yards in connection with them, so that the one business is operated as the complement of the other. A local manager is placed in charge of each branch, who reports to his head office where the general business of the system is transacted. The plan seems to have advan- tages but has not been in operation long enough to furnish definite conclusions. Generally speaking, twenty years ago the lumber industry was of obscure influence, now it takes front rank in the business economy of the country and none is more closely identified with its progress. ‘ea THE CANADA LUMBERMAN J¥NuARY, 1905 PIONEER LUMBERMEN WHO ARE STILL WITH US HON. J. K. WARD. In respect to number of years and achieve- ment of commercial success, the gentleman whose portrait appears first on this page stands as an illustrious example among the pioneer lumbermen ofthis Dominion. Sixty years an ac- tive lumberman, and fifty of these spent in Canada, is in short the life history of Hon. J. K. Ward, of Montreal. Born in the Isle of Man in the year 1819, he was at an early age appenticed to the trade of carpenter and joiner. Having completed his tenure of apprenticeship, he decided, when twenty-one years of age, to emigrate to the United States, and after being employedin different pursuits tor three years he secured a position as second clerk in a saw mill at Troy, N. Y., later leasing the mill and operating it on his own account. In 1853 he decided to prospect in Canada, and bought a saw mill and property on -the Maskinonge river, in the province of Quebec, where he spent ten years lumbering, adding during these years somewhat to his possessions. Ten years later he moved to Three Rivers and acquired the limits and mills built and owned by Nor- cros, Philips & Company. This property he operated successfully for several years and sold to advantage to an American company. Encouraged by previous efforts, Mr. Ward obtained a large area of timber land from the Quebec Government, situate on the Rouge River, a tributary of the Ottawa, and estab- lished a large saw mill at the Lachine canal. This he operated trom 1870 to 1900, when he transferred the business to a company in which his eldest son is largely interested. The an- nual cut of this mill has been about 15,000,000 feet. Mr. Ward has shipped largely to Eng- land, the United States, South America and the West Indies. Asan instance of the pro- portions of his business, it may be stated that in 1886 he shipped 116 cargoes of lumber, ° in vessels varying from 100 to 1,000 tons bur- then, to English and foreign markets. Mr. Ward has always been a strong advo- ee cate of preserving the forest and is the author of many interesting papets on Canadian woods. Addressing the Natural History Society in Montreal on April 29, 1895, he said: ‘‘While not an alarmist as to our supply of pine timber, I cannot but consider the wanton waste of it asin. A mistakeis made by our millmen in not having more sawing capacity than the fast mills now in use possess, sawing as they do in twelve hours 40,000 to 50,000 feet with one circular saw. Too much haste is required to do this, when more money might be got out of the same logs by employing two sets of saws, with the necessary trimming machinery, and doing the work with less speed.” In 1888 Mr. Ward was named a Legislative Councillor by the late Mr. Mercier, Premier of Quebec, probably the first case recorded where a practical mechanic, aman who had sprung directly from the working classes, has: held this-exalted position. He is now in his eighty- sixth year and resides at Westmount, a sub- urb of Montreal. ROBERT STEWART. Robert Stewart, of Guelph, Ont., spent his early years on the home farm in the Scotch Block, Township of Esquesing, Halton county. At the age of seventeen he went to Toronto, where he acquired a thorough’ knowledge of the building trade and lumber business. He relates that he saw lumber brought into Tor- onto and sold for $4.50 per thousand feet ; joisting 3x12x24 sold for $5. In his early days a railway was unknown from a practical standpoint, all lumber being teamed in from the surrounding townships, and, as a natural consequence, the contrast between then and now is very marked. Mr.+Stewart relates an incident of some A friend of his, a mill- wright by trade, was travelling through the country when he came across a man running a water mill with a gate saw. Mr. Stewart’s friend asked the owner what he would give sixty odd years ago. him if he would double the capacity of hiS mill. The owner replied that he did not know what he would do with the lumber if he cut double the quantity he was now cutting. In 1855 Mr. Stewart removed to Guelph, Ont., and laid the foundation of his present extensive business. He has one of the largest planing mills and sash and door factories in Western Ontario, and in addition handles several million feet of lumber each year. Mr. Stewart is probably the oldest lumber dealerin Ontario and the oldest active business man in Guelph ; in fact, he still looks after every detail of his business, especially in the manufacturing department. ¢ J. R. BOOTH. — Mention of early lumbering operations at once suggests the name of J. R. Booth, of Ottawa. Not only is he a pioneer in the lum- — ber business, but he stands prominent to-day — as the timber ies of Cana a distinction which he has won by indomitable ersever- ance and ambition. Mr. Booth was born in Waterloo, Que, on April 5, 1827, and lived on a farm until he reached manhood. As a boy his mind ran to mechanical devices and he decided to becom a millwright. His first lumber work was in assisting to build Leamy’s saw mill at Leamy’s Lake, about fifty yearsago. He then remo d- to Ottawa and leased a small mill. . This was burned down after being operated only a few months. He rented another mill immediately and added two shingle machines. His first encouragement came in the shape of a contract for furnishing lumber for the Parliament Build- ings. He worked out his contract at a sub- stantial profit and purchased the saw mill after three years’ occupancy. Borrowing money fromthe bank, for which he paid 7 per cent. interest, Mr. Booth purchased a large limit at a low price and increased the capacity of his mill by putting in two gang saws. Realizing that timber was likely to JANUARY, 1905 greatly increase in value, he added to his tim- ber holdings as rapidly as possible, which proved to be a very wise policy. To-day he owns about 4,250°square miles of limits— sufficient timber land to make a strip a mile wide reaching across Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Mr. Booth’s saw milling business steadily expanded, until in 1892 he had thirteen band saws and four gates in operation, with a capacity of more than one million feet in ten ‘hours. In May, 1894, his extensive mill was destroyed by fire. Shortly afterwards he pur- chased the old Perley & Pattee mill adjoining the burned property and fitted it up with im- proved machinery. The plant as it stands to-day will cut from six to eight hundred thou- sand feet of lumber in twenty hours. Although in his seventy-eighth year, Mr. Booth still enjoys good health and is able to give personal attention to his important in- terests, ISAAC COCKBURN. Few lumbermen of the present day have a wider knowledge of the early methods of lumbering than Mr. Isaac Cockburn, of Win- nipeg. In his boyhood days his father was extensively and prominently engaged in the timter trade on the tributaries of the Ottawa river, where the subject of this sketch became familiar with the business. At the age of twenty-two he undertook a venture in purchas- ing some timber and a short time thereafter embarked generally into the manufacture and transportation of timber for the Quebec and European markets. Being young,-active and energetic, he devoted all his available time to an oversight of the proper manufacture and quality of the product. As a result, it was only a few years before he had established a re- putation among the Quebec merchants for the superior quality and manufacture of his timber, so much so that some large firms of timber merchants, when purchasing timber under contract for subsequent manufacture and de- livery, would stipulate that the quality be equal to that of Cockburn’s manufacture, this being the only provision as to the grade. In 1870 Mr. Cockburn extended his lumber- THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 31 ing operations to the states of Michigan and Wisconsin in the manufacture of waney pine, hewn and sawn oak, oak staves, rock elm timber and pine deals for export to Quebec and the European markets. To facilitate the transportation of the timber he, in conjunction with two others, established the Collins Bay Rafting and Forwarding Company, which has met with much success under the able manage- ment of Mr. Leslie, of Kingston. He at the same time became joint owner of three vessels which were employed in carrying forward his timber products from Lakes Huron and Super- ior to the foot of the lakes, to be then taken down the St. Lawrence river to Quebec for further shipment by vessel. time he established a saw milling business on the Humber river and subsequently in the Muskoka district at Gravenhurst. Removing to Manitoba in 1891, Mr. Cock- burn directed his attention to the fuel problem About the same of the western country, and realizing the im- portance of it acquired some coal lands, formed a joint stock company and entered into mining. This venture was a success and the company are now developing a large output. His pres- ent interests in the lumber business are in the Dauphin district of Manitoba, but he is also secretary-treasurer of the Western Retail Lum- bermen’s Association. ROBERT LAIDLAW. Born in the Township of Esquesing, Halton County, which township acquired its name from the Indian language, and meaning “‘ tall pines,” Mr. Robert Laidlaw became a lumber- man almost from his infancy. Although living on a farm until about thirty years of age, he at the same time was interested in lumbering. In the year 1871 he formed a partnership with the late Thomas Shortreed, under the firm name of Shortreed & Laidlaw, and moved to the town of Barrie, in the County of Simcoe, where they purchased a block of timber. They operated several mills and continued to lumber in that neighborhood until practically all the timber was cut cut. Mr. Laidlaw removed from Barrie to Toron- to in 1886, establishing a wholesale and retail lumber business, and later opening branch offices and yards at Sarnia, Ont., and Buffalo, New York. He is also interested with Mr. A. McPherson, of Longford Mills, and in the R. T. Jones Lumber Company, of Tonawanda. Notwithstanding the vast extent and scope of his operations as a lumber dealer, he has con- tinued to maintain-his timber interests in the north. The concerns with which Mr. Laidlaw is associated, and particularly the R* Laidlaw Lumber Company, are a very influential factor in the lumber trade. This is very clearly demonstrated by the fact that the turn-over of the two above mentioned companies last year was ninety million feet, of which sixty-eight million feet represented the business of the R. Laidlaw Lumber Company. From the beginning Mr. Laidlaw may be said to have been eminently successful in busi- ness, first obtaining the necessary practical experience, then applying it to good advan- tage in his later and more extensive operations. He is held in very high esteem by the lumber fraternity. NATHANIEL DYMENT. Nathaniel Dyment, of Barrie, Ont., has attained marked success in the lumber world, which can be attributed largely to his energy and perseverance. His early operations were in the townships of Ancaster and Beverley fifty years ago, when he was but a youth of seventeen. . His first transaction involved one pine tree, which he purchased for a dollar. This dollar he earned by cutting two cords of wood. InAncaster and Beverley there were originally rich pine forests, and Mr. Dyment soon established a large business and built several other mills on the line of the Great Western Railway. About twenty-five years ago Mr. Dyment extended his operations into Simcoe County and the North Shore and built larger mills, the organization of the present great lumber firm of Mickle, Dyment & Son being effected in the year 1886. Mills are now operated at Gravenhurst, Severn Bridge and Thessalon, the yearly output being upwards of 35,000,000 feet. Mr. Dyment is conceded to be an authority THE CANADA LUMBERMAN JANUARY, 1905 on the lumber trade, knowing the business thoroughly from the woods to the counting room. In his younger days as a salesman of lumber there were few his equal. He is a close observer of life, events and business methods, and although quiet and unassuming, has a most interesting individuality. H. H. COOK, Mr. H. H. Cook isa member ofa well- known lumber family, being the only survivor of five brothers who were actively engaged in lumbering operations. He is a son of the late George Cook, who lumbered for many years on the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers and was one of the first persons to take timber to Quebec. The subject of this sketch com- menced to lumber with his brothers when eighteen years of age, taking out square tim- ber on the Trent waters. Turning his atten- tion to saw logs, he built his first mill at Mid- land, Ont., in 1872, when that town comprised but two shanties. The mill contained two gangs and two double circulars, and cost upwards of $100,000. Mr. Cook has built seven different mills, the last one being at French River in 1882. This plant has since been remodelled and is now one of the most complete saw- milling establishments in Canada, being equip- “ped with the latest labor-saving appliances. He owns a large area of timber limits on the French river and tributaries and the Vermillion river, his operations being conducted under the name of the Ontario Lumber Company, with head office in Toronto. H. L. LOVERING. Mor. si. L. Lovering, of Coldwater, Ont., was born in England in 1835, and came to Canada in 1842, settling in the Township of Medonte, County of Simcoe, which was then almost a wilderness. He commenced lumbering in Oc- tober, 1850, at the mouth of the Severn River, now known as Port Severn. The mill was owned at that time by the late Jas. Sanson, jr.» H. B. Robinson being associated with him in the operations. The capacity of the mill was about one thousand feet in twelve hours, and Mr. Lovering’s salary was five dol- lars per month. He remained there for two years, then went to Lake Superior, cutting the first board of lumber that was manufactured at the head of Lake Superior where Superior and Duluth now stand. In 1857 he returned to Ontario, and became associated with A. R. Christie, of Port Severn. Since 1870 he has been connected with the Georgian Bay Lum- ber Company. ° He has seen the growth of the lumber trade on the Georgian Bay from less than one-half million feet in 1850 to several hundred millions. HON. PETER WHITE. Hon, Peter White commenced to lumber in October, 1858, in conjunction with his brother, the late A. T. White, the firm name being A. & P. White. This partnership continued to exist until the death of the senior partner in 1900, since which time the business has been car- ried on by the subject of this sketch under the original name. Mr. White’s father was one of the first lumber Operators in the Ottawa Valley, coming to Canada from Edinburgh, Scotland, and founding the town of Pembroke in 1828, = When A. & P. White embarked in the lum- SSsSsSsSSsS$S8S8090909@90999@$ I ber trade the principal product was squared red and white pine, of which, as is generally known, large quantities were sent down the Ottawa river and also the Trent waters. The making of saw logs in large quantities did not commence on the Ottawa until about 1870. For some years the firm of A. & P. White have been engaged in the manufacture of sawn lum- ber, their mills being located at Pembroke and having a capacity of about 6,000,000 feet per annum. Mr. White is also a director of the Pembroke Lumber Company. Mr. White is a strong advocate of the pro- tection of the forests from fires. He has seen large areas on the Ottawa destroyed during the last fifty years, and believes that if fires had been kept out and the timber judiciously cut, the supply on the Ottawa river and its tributar- ies would have been practically inexhaustible. Asan instance of the advantage of watching the fires closely, he points out that the limit owned by the late Wm. Mackey, on the Amable-du- Fond, which he purchased in 1861 for a few hundred dollars, was sold in 1900 for $655,000, and after square timber had been cut on it for thirty years. : Mr. White has devoted much time and atten- tion to public affairs, having represented North Renfrew in the Dominion Parliament almost continuously from 1874 to 1806. NICHOLAS FLOOD, One of the oldest living operators in the tim- ber and deal trade of the Province of Quebec is Mr. Nicholas Flood, a resident of the Ancient Capital, whose identification with this trade in the successive capacities of culler and manu- facturer extend over a period of more than half a century. Mr. Flood was born in the County ot Wex- ford, Ireland, and came to Canada when but eight years of age. A year later, at the tender age of nine, he began his service as a culler’s assistant in Walker’s Cove, Quebec. Since that time his has been an unusually active career, covering as it does the most prosperous period of the Quebec export timber trade. For many years Mr. Flood received for the owners at Cape Rouge Cove from seven to thirteen —~, - ie ii: = a “a _ very successful manner. a © a lad tion and preservation of our forests than to JANUARY, 1905 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 33 millions of board pine each season. Cape Rouge Cove was then one of the most prosper- ous of the Quebec timber coves and was indeed a hive of industry. The late James Bowen was manager of this property, with Mr. Flood as his assistant. Subsequently the late Mr. Amos Bowen succeeded to the management, and upon his death, about twelve years ago, Mr. Flood was appointed to the office of man- ager of the Cape Rouge Wharf & Pier Com- pany, which office he still holds. As a manufacturer of various kinds of square timber Mr. Flood has established himself in a His operations have been more or less extensive and have been confined to the Province of Quebec. He is still as actively engagedin tradeasat any former time in his career. There is no operator more popularly known than he, and certainly none more highly esteemed for his industry, integ- rity and general worthiness as acitizen of the city of Quebec. WILLIAM LITTLE. Although now retired from active lumbering operations, a record of Canadian lumbering would be incomplete without some reference to Mr. William Little, formerly of Caledonia, on the Grand River, County of Haldimand,but now residing at Westmount Heights, Mon- treal. In the early sixties he carried on ex- tensive operations on the Grand River and the Lake Erie shore, especially dealing in the large ‘square pine and mast trade with New York, Quebec and England. From these districts he supplied for many years the Quebec con- tractors with the Admiralty with the bulk of the large white pine masts required by the British Navy, and also the Quebec timber trade with rafts of square pine averaging 150 cubic feet per stick as compared with the present aver- ages of less than 50 cubic feet. Of late years Mr. Little has devoted most of his time and energies rather to the subject of the propaga- their destruction. The deep interest taken by him in this direction is evidenced by his elec- tion as honorary president of the Canadian Forestry Association. Mr. Little’s knowledge of the existing con- ditions of the forests of Canada and the Unit- ed States, as relating to the lumber industry, is probably unsurpassed by anyone in either country, as it may be said be has made this subject a life study, having grown up to a practical knowledge of the trade in the busi- ness of his father, the late James Little, who was one of the pioneer lumbermen of Upper Canada, having begun operations in Caledonia in 1834, where William was born in 1836, his father becoming one of the most extensive manufacturers of pine lumber for export from the Grand River district, having at one time ten saw mills in operatiou and being the first to ship Canadian pine lumber in quantity to Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland and Toledo. Mr. Little has frequently contributed articles to the CANADA LUMBERMAN on for- estry subjects, especially protesting against the suicidal policy (now happily abandoned by Ontario) of allowing the free export of saw logs and pulpwood to the United States, while that government exacts duties on Canadian lumber and pulp. His intimate knowledge of the timber trade relations between the coun- tries enabled him to render valuable assistance to the advocates of free lumber at Washington in controverting the misrepresentations made by the United States manufacturers, which re- sulted in the adoption by Congress of the free lumber clauses in the Wilson tariff bill. Cc. M. BOSTWICK. Mr. C. M. Bostwick is a gentleman who, for a great many years, has _ been closely iden- tified with the lumber industry in the Maritime Provinces. His first venture was in the shape of large mills and lumber properties at Point Wolfe, N. B. After operating this plant for some years with great success, he disposed of it and purchased the Great Salmon River and Martin’s Head properties from the Estate of the late Wm. Davidson. These properties are situated at the mouth of the Great Salmon River on the Bay of Fundy shore and about forty miles from St. John. Although they were, at the time of the purchase, very valu- able, Mr. Bostwick, with characteristic energy, set himself to add to their value. He increased his holdings until they had become the most valuable lumber properties held by one person in the Maritime Provinces. The place where the mill stands is perhaps the best site in the Maritime Provinces for a water mill. The power is abundant and is never inadequate. Mr. Bostwick’s aim was to make the mill in every way equal to a steam mill, and by means of extensive remodelling and the addition of the most modern improve- ments in machinery, he fully attained his object. Mr. Bostwick’s limits lay along the Great Salmon River and its branches. The logs were driven a distance of from two to thirty miles. The manufactured article, which con- sisted of deals and lath, was nearly all shipped to St. John by means of a fleet of schooners and scows owned by his company, to be loaded on steamers bound for Great Britain. The village near the mill took its name from the rivers The cottages were all owned by the company and the inhabitants were all employees of the company. Mr. Bostwick took a great interest in the welfare of the villagers. He provided a church for all denominations, a school for which he employed a competent teacher, and made ita point to use his in- fluence to have both well attended. The head office of the company was at St. John and was connected by telephone with the mill. Mr. Bostwick had many splendid offers for this valuable property, but had never enter- tained any until last summer, when he opened negotiations with the Pejepscot. Paper Com- pany, of Brunswick, Me., which resulted in the sale of the lands, mill, stores, warehouses, schooners, scows and all utensils and_facili- ties. The transfer was made on September 21st last. The new company is called the Bay Shore Lumber Company. Had Mr. Bostwick been a younger man it is probable that he would have been the controller of this huge industry for many years to come, but having been actively engaged in business for fifty years, he has decided to retire. REORGANIZATION OF A CANADIAN LUMBER FIRM. The business of Price Bros. & Company, Quebec, has been converted into a limited stock company, capitalized at $3,000,000. The . new company will bear the title of Price Bros. & Company, Limited, and will take over up- wards of 6,000 square miles of timber land, with eleven saw mills and other property in the way of wharves, etc. The saw mills are located at Batiscan, St. Louis, Rimouski, Ma- tane, Cape St. Ignace, St. Rosarie, Metabech- ouan, Trois Taumons, St. Anne and Amqui, all in the province of Quebec. The negotiations in connection with the for- mation of the new company were conducted by I. H. Benn, of the timber importing firm of Price & Pierce, London, England, which has also been intimately associated with Price Bros. & Company. The deal includes a bond issue of about $1,000,000, but asa basis for the exact amount of the issue, James D. Lacey & Company, of New Orleans, are about to make an examination of the property and an estimate of the timber thereon. i “THE CANADA LUMBERMAN . . i t i ~ gus JANUARY, 1905 HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE LUMBER INDUSTRY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA The progress of the lumber industry in British Columbia, from the time of the erection of the first mill until the present, when con- siderably over 100 plants are in operation without taking into account sash and door factories, box factories and other co-operative institutions, can be noted, since the beginning of the development of this province dates back only forty years. In fact, less than twenty years covers the period,or since the completion of the construction of the first Canadian trans- continental highway. At no time, however, has the industry attained a greater growth than during the last five years, consequent upon the marvellous number of immigrants taking up land in the Northwest Territories and the beneficial legislation of the Provincial Government. As a result, about fifty mills have sprung into existence in the interior of the province, mostly in the eastern portion, where there is a considerable area of timbered land, and from where the territorial markets are The effect was also noticeable on the coast, and in Van- couver city a large number of mills was built. There have been periods of depression, every province and every industry being similarly affected at times, but through it all the manu- facturing of lumber has gradually increased. The future is very promising. The timber in British Columbia for size, quality and quantity within comparatively easy reach. has no equal, and now that the eastern forests are being depleted, the successful millmen are establishing themselves in this province, where the manufacture of lumber will continue when in other parts of the world it will have become a thing of the past. Since the early history of the lumber indus- try in British Columbia has never been written it might be recorded with interest for the first time. Perhaps the first mill erected was that by the father of Mr. J. A. Sayward, now con- ducting the same business at Victoria. Fol- lowing the discovery of gold in the Cariboo, and the settlement of Victoria in the latter fifties, the elder Sayward, who had been can- ducting a lumber business in San Francisco, came north to the new colony, and built a mill at a point called Mill Bay, in the Shawnigan district on Vancouver island. This was oper- ated by water power, and twenty-six years ago the plant was moved to the city of Victoria, when steam power was installed, and it has been run on the same site ever since. English capital established a mill at Alberni in the early sixties, with Capt. Stamp as manager. The product was for export, there being no local market. This mill was in operation for a few years, but not proving a financial suc- cess it was closed and the plant sold. The first mill on the mainland was that erected at Moodyville by Messrs. Moody, Dietz & Nelson. The place, directly opposite Vancouver on the north shore ot Burrard inlet, was named after Mr. Moody, who was drowned in the memorable disaster to the steamer Pa- cific in 1875X Mr. Nelson afterward became eH tm lieutenant-governor of the province. This mill was operated continuously until a couple of years ago, when it was purchased by the B. C. Mills, Timber & Trading Company. In 1865- 66 the Hastings mill was built on the site it at present occupies, on the south side of Burrard inlet, by an English company. Capt. Stamp, who had operated the mill at Alberni, was the first manager, being succeeded by Capt. Ray- mur, who was followed by Mr. R. H. Alexan- der, the present manager. There are two points of extreme interest in connection with the establishment of the Hast- ings mill, as it is still known. The machinery, office and other supplies comprised a full cargo of the ship Kent, when bushels of pens and lead pencils by the hundred gross were sent out, with sufficient stationery to last for twenty years or more. Two four-pounders were also included, intended for the protection of the property in the Indian wars. These cannon were never used, and are still to be seen at the mill. Even yet there is some of the cannister shot, a large amount of which was the cargo, and which was to scatter English death among the screeching ranks of tomakawking Siwashes. The other interesting incident was the selec- tion of the first site. In those days, when no cities nor towns werein existence on the Pacific coast of Canada, and Indian villages were the only settlements, all land looked alike to the venturesome trader. A site was cleared in the reservation now known as Stanley Park, at the spot where the recreation grounds are now located. The first mill was to have been built there, the wharves to be in the bight of the Narrows, through which entrance is made into Vancouver harbor. The current was found to be too strong, and a move was made further up the inlet to the next jutting point, thus pre- serving in its entirety that peninsula of land which afterwards became Stanley Park, the finest of its kind in the world. In those days primitive methods were em- ployed, logs being taken out of the woods by bullock teams and towed by hand. Of the early steamers used in towing, two might be mentioned. These were the Grappler, a con- demned gunboat, which was burned in the north, and the Beaver, the first steamboat to ply on the Pacific, having rounded the Horn in 1836. The latter ship, while going out after a boom in the summer of 1888, piled her historic bones on the rocks at the entrance to Van- couver harbor. For twenty years the mills log- ged the territory where Vancouver city is now located. Some of the pioneers are still here, notably Mr. Jonathan Miller, postmaster. Associated with the early history of the in- dustry were John Hendry, David McNair, A. Haslam, W. J. Armstrong, Mr. Carpenter, R. H. Alexander, C. M. Beecher and R. B. Kelly. The mill at Moodyville was burned shortly after its construction, and in 1874 Mr. Hendry came over from Washington state and assisted in its rebuilding, remaining for some time, having charge of the operations at night. 1k aoe ee . Palmer is the manager. In the winter of 1875 he erected a mill at Nanaimo for Mr. Carpenter, and in 1876 one for W. J. Armstrong at New Westminster. ~ With David McNair he started a sash and door factory in Nanaimo, and in 1877 Messrs. Hen- dry, McNair, Haslam and Kelly built a small saw mill, sash and door factory and box fac- — tory at New Westminster, which afterwards — became the Royal City Planing Mills Company. At present it is owned by the B.C. Mills, Tim- ber and Trading Company. ; These were the earliest establishments. In 1885 the Royal City Planing Mills Company purchased the miil at Nanaimo, which after a year was taken over by Messrs. Haslam and A. E. Lees, who gave their share in the busi- ness in New Westminster for it. is still operating it, Mr. Lees having a cloth- ing and gents’ furnishing business in WVan- couver. The mill was destroyed by fire this year, but has been rebuilt. With the extension of the Canadian Pacific Railway to Coal harbor, and the beginning of Vancouver, the lumber industry was, natur- ally, the first to develop. In 1888 the Hast- ings mill was purchased by the Royal City Planing Mills Company of New Westminster, of which Mr. Hendry was head. Mr. Alex- ander, who first became connected with the Hastings mill in 1870 as storekeeper, and suc- ceeded in 1881 to the managership, became interested, as did aiso Mr. Beecher in the new company of the B. C. Mills, Timber & Trading Company, which was incorporated in 1889. In the early nineties more mills were built, and many of the large establishments doing busi- ness in Vancouver to-day were started about that time. On Vancouver Island a mill had been built at Cowichan, near Victoria, by Messrs. Hewitt & McIntyre, who failed. Sayward’s were Operating in Victoria, and in 1894 American capitalists established a mill at Chemainus, under the firm name of the Victoria Lumber and Manufacturing Company. Mr. E. J. This mill is one of the largest on the coast, and with the Hastings mill does an export business which is not ex-— ceeded by any of the large mills in Washington state. In New Westminster, Ross & McLar- en, Ottawa valley people, erected a large es- tablishment. It remained idle because of de-— pression until about a year ago, when it was taken over by Whatcom and San Francisco’ capitalists. De Beck’s, afterwards the Brunette mills, was among the first, and also that built by J. G. Scott, who enlisted Ontario capital. The latter shipped the first red cedar shingles to Ontario in 1892, a trade which has increased very considerably. The development of the industry was steady but not very rapid until rgor. immigration first began to be felt, and immedi- — ately following the enforcement in 1902 of the order-in-council prohibiting the export of logs, mills were erected with exceeding rapidity. In Vancouver, the older establishments ex-_ Mr. Haslam _ The effects of di < spe ded, and numerous new Ones were built.

Some of the more _ prominent of the manufactories besides the acific Coast Lumber Company’s plant ang mat of the B. C.

Kirkpatrick, the Canada Lumber Com- pany, Woods & Spicer (now controlled by J.

Not “on y are they interested in the manufacture of 3 — _ lumber and the holding of large tracts > of | timber, but in the establishment of pulp mills, no less than five of the lat- being proposed, principally backed by nerican capital.

Atmospheric con- ditions are especially favorable to tree growth, which is very rapid, and the extent of other- wise valueless country along the coast that can be devoted to forestry is enormous. A teature of the timber areas is their density, the yield being greatly in excess of that obtainable in eastern Canada. This density enables logging to be carried on to greater advantage. R. B. IMPROVEMENTS IN SAW MILL MACHINERY. By C. H. WarTeErous, Brantford, Ont. It will be found upon consideration that the past twenty-five years have not seen any very great or very radical changes in the machinery for the actual cutting or manufacture of lum- ber. Probably the perfecting of the band saw during that time has been productive of the most good, as, with its development into a thoroughly practical machine, it is possible to produce lumber of an equal quality, in as great a quantity in a given time, and with a very great saving in what formerly used to go into saw-dust, a loss that accompanies all operations of sawing lumber. As timber became scarcer, and got farther back into the country,making the getting out of logs more costly, this waste became more and more emphasized, and the desire, in fact the need, to minimize it was of such importance that all progressive lumbermen, were anxious’ to experiment with any improvement that look-_ ed feasible and practical. The band mill, therefore, that had been for many years strug- gling for a place,came into prominence and re- ceived the attention, at the hands of both manufacturers and users of this class of ma- chinery, that was needed to make it a success, with the result that it is fast displacing both the old-time circular and gang for lumber cut- ting. The band mill will cut about about as fast as either the gang or the circular, with the great advantage that it takes probably less than half the saw kerf of the average circular, and equal advantage may be taken of the log ; it takes less saw kerf than the average gang, while with the latter no advantage can be tak- _ en of the log as it is being cut, to get the best that isin the log, outofit. When the amount of lumber produced each year in this country is considered, the saving made by the use of the band millis a very great annual addition to the wealth of the country. The changes in mill design, much heayier and better built machinery, and the addition of labor saving appliances, have been very great ; in consequence, lumber is cut more cheaply and much truer to size. In the latter case par- ticularly this is a great gain, as when lumber is being worked up into its finished state the loss is much less if the stock is true to size. Steam and power operated machinery for handling both the logs, lumber and refuse has displaced manual labor in most of the operations in the larger and better class of mills. To watch the progress of a log through a mill is most interesting. The steam kicker now throws the logs on to the log deck, where for- merly a man laboriously performed this opera- tion ; the sawyer by means of a steam log roller now rolls the logs on to the log carriage THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 35 as he requires them ; with the steam nigger the log is turned on the carriage, the steam or power setter sets the logs up to the saw, steam feed handles the carriage back and forth, during its cutting, at a rate of speed completely under the control of the sawyer ; live rolls carry the product of the logs away trom the saw, power transfers and power dri- ven chains transfer the product to the edger, trimmers and slashers, and carries it out of the mill to the point where it is assorted and finally disposed of. This statement does not convey to anyone not familiar with the operation of a saw mill anything like an adequate idea of what an im- portant part these labor saving devices take in a mill, and in the carrying on of the great lum- ber industry. It means a revolution in the handling of logs and the production of lum- ber, and means that a vast amount ot thought by first-class mechanics, and large sums of _ money have been expended in arriving at the present perfection of modern saw mill machin- ery. Most interesting and very ingenious de- vices for the saving of raw material, and of jabor, the two great desideratums of all modern manufacturing industries, are seen in modern saw mills in probably as great perfection, and in as much variety, as in any other industry. These changes have come so gradual that their importance upon the great lumber indus- try of the country is apt to be overlooked. If it were possible to place side by side one of the old time water mills of say forty years ago, with its up and down saw, of which it was humorously said ‘‘ went up to-day and down to-morrow,” and compare the quantity and quality of its output with »one of the mills of to-day, the vast improvements that have been made in saw. mill-machinery’ would convey very forcibly thd fact that in this field of im- provement changes have taken place almost as great as in that of transportation, or the other large industries: _ As ‘population and the de- mands for greater comfort and ‘more luxury in our homes grew, the demand tor lumber in- creased, so that it was but natural for man to give more thought to its production, and the steadily diminishing forests made it necessary to strive by invention to reduce its waste. : Whether as great changes will be made in the next twenty years as in the past is, of course, a question that cannot b2 answered to- day, but it does not look as though this would be the case. Greater care in the sawing of lumber, and a lessening ambition to produce the greatest possible quantity, without regard to quality or waste, will probably give manu- facturers a better quality with a lessened waste. This means that necessarily the ways that now prevail in the older countries will be more nearly tollowed, where the chief thought is not given to the greatest possible output, but to the greatest possible saving of timber. The saws and much of the machinery as used to-day will probably continue, with improve- ments, for many years. el The third annual meeting of the Hardwood Manu- facturers’ Association of the United States will be held at Nashville, Tenn., January 24th and 25th. Mr. Lewis Doster, of Columbus, Ohio, is secretary of the Association. a bees “25 ce ae Se 36 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN JANUARY, 1905 SAW MILL EQUIPMENT OF THE EARLIER DAYS By WM. COOKE, Hillsdale, Ont. THE history of saw mill machinery proves that the earlier methods of manufacturing lumber were very crude as com- the modern saw mill of the day. My memory takes me _ back fifty years, and I will first give you a description of a mill in England as I remember it at that time. pared with present Wm. Cooke. The machinery consisted of the follow- ing : A small circular saw large enough to rip 6x8, with a plain flat table, and a large cir- cular saw which was used for sawing Quebec Square timber. The carriage for this saw was simply a table like our old-fashioned single edger table, the saw running between two planks coupled together, while the feed was a AN OLD-FASHIONED MILL—SHowING G The rack was fastened to the table and the pinion was turned with a rack and pinion. crank by hand. The saw guides, as we call them, were a casting for holding a roll of hemp, and as the saw required changing the One side was pressed harder than the other against the saws. There was a gate, or gang it may be called, with saws of sufficient num- ber and thinness to take eleven boards out of a 3-inch deal. The writer saw this mill eight years ago and the same machinery that was there fifty years ago was still standing and running in the same place without any change ——————EE—E—E—— or improvement. The price of Sawing in England was five shillings per 100 feet for hardwood, or twelve dollars per thousand feet board measure. It will be readily understood that the sawing process was a very slow one. The first circular saw was made, I think, between fifty and sixty years ago. The man who conceived the idea made a pattern of the saw and took it to the saw works to have one made. The saw makers looked at him and asked him if he were crazy. They laid his pattern to one side and put him off by promises. Month after month went by, until the man at: last insisted upon the saw being made, the success of which all lumbermen know. I remember that about forty years ago a circular saw was used for cutting veneer in Bristol. The saw was very thin, made in sec- tions and screwed on large cast-iron collars, made the same as our shingle saw collars. This saw was twelve feet in diameter and was used in two stories of the mill. Coming to our mills in Canada, say forty- seven years ago. Most of the mills then con- UIDE BLOcKs, From Bulletin No. 34, Burenu of Forestry, U.8, Dopartment of Agriculture sisted of a muley saw rig or a gate and a Singie upright saw, usually run by water power and operated by one man, who hauled up his logs, spotted them for the carriage, set his log for the cut and put his saw to work, then, leav- ing his saw running, went to dinner and when he came back found the saw still cutting. There were no edgers in those days, the sid- ings being used rough edge, and they can yet be seen in the sheetings of some old buildings with the stubshot on. In those days the price of lumber was from four to six dollars per thousand, and everything was nearly clear. ‘ Within a few years the muley ? saw was re- placed by the circular saw, which was respons- ible for a great improvement in the speed of making lumber. The Operation of these mills involved much hard labor, all the sidings hav- ing to be packed up and carried to the edger and the balance of the stock carried to the end of the mill and stood on end, then placed on a wagon and taken to the pile. About the first improvement to lighten the hardest work in the mill, namely, tail sawing, was a wooden roller with a wooden gudgeon and setina frame. By this means the tail Sawyer couldrun his boards and planks out instead of carrying them. This was improved upon by wooden rollers and iron gudgeons, and later on by what is known as live rollers, and what was the hardest work in the mill forty years ago is almost the easiest now. The next improvement in mill equipment was a log canter, or what we call an overhead canter, usually driven by a belt from a saw mandrel and consisting of a roller with a worm gear. On this roller was attached a chain, with a hook on the other end, and which went around the log ; as the roller turned the log turned also, thus doing away with a lot of heavy lifting. After a few years this canter MILL BuILT IN 1803—--SHOWING Saw GarTE. was discarded for a canter of greater speed, which we call a nigger (rather a peculiar name for a machine, but he is a fine fellow in a mill), The first canter of this kind was installed in our Canadian mills about thirty-three years ago and was driven by friction. This canter was used in Michigan before that time. It has since been much improved and is now driven by an upright steam cylinder. Gang saws were installed in ‘several large mills thirty or thirty-five years ago and have Since played an important part in the manu- facture of lumber. The next great change was from the circular to the band saw. THE free gifts of Nature are seldom appreciated or even considered so long as the supply is sufficient for the de- mand, and in no | ease is this more : apparent than with respect to the vir- gin forest which to this country at least deserves to rank foremost among the many natural resources Wwe pos- sess.

Each has now to go far afield for his timber supply. The inhabitants of the eastern states when their heme supply became scarce or exhausted invaded Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Canadian provinces on the north and the southern states on the south, and ncw as the supply from certain of these sources is giving out, while from cthers the cost is greatly increasing, they are turning their eyes to the Pacifie Coast states as a last resort, and the ques- tion of a future timber supply for the United States, which country until yesterday was looked upon as a field upon which the older nations could depend, is now engaging the serious attention of the far-see- ing citizen of that country. A few figures from our trade returns will show how rapidly the importation of wood into the United States from Canada is increasing. ‘The value of our exports of home produce of wood and manufactures thereof to the United States was: During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1TH etseio OcieOp Cobo en oMoD a oauune $ 9,840,524 During the fiscal year ending June 30 So ae He SOS OS BaD SUIOO.SD Coco 10,511,019 During the fiscal year ending June 30 TSO) ipganicctod 6 sated eco OC ORD 14,087,088 During the fiscal year ending June 30 TCT Oe ais ocinio Hd se so.d hd acme GO 13,176,717 During the fiscal year ending June 30 MOOD ee hasctaeviviass meine eteotendalcdt cls) 16,682,183 During the fiscs] year ending June 30 GOB! te mere wate) aio ser aw arsvnne sigyernigel eis 18,823,878 This shows an increase in 1903 over that of 1898 of $8,983,354, even surpassing our export for ths same period to Great Britain by $30,001; and this in the face of the American duty. This certainly indicates the great market for wood material that the United States alone will afford us in the future. Space will not permit of a review of our exports to all the other countries of the world which receive more or less from us. Suffice to notice that our total exports under this head in 1903 amounted to $40,- 742,641, being an increase over the previous year of $5,567,167. Taking a review also of the forestral conditions of the older European countries and of those of South America and the Orient, and the great home market now being created by the rapid settlement of the prairie country, and the only conclusion that can be drawn is that the future demands for all classes of wood material will be so great as to tax severely all the sources of supply, and that as a consequence prices, though they may waver, will show a gradual if not rapid advance. Notwithstanding the in- creased use of brick, iron, stone and conerete in structural works, the consumption of timber goes on increasing faster than it ever did before. Such being the case, any country possessing an available supply will assuredly have an abundant market, The question then for us to answer is, ‘«Has Can- ada such a supply?’’ If this question had to be answered in the nega- tive it would be as much deplored by those countries that are in constant need of a supply and which are holding out their hands to us for it, as it would be by ourselves. Though we have lost vast quantities of timber by fire, still Canada undoubtedly stands at the head of those countries from which a future supply may be expected. It is true that our virgin white pine can- not last very many years longer, but we have other yarieties of great value. In British Columbia we have the Douglas fir, the cedar, the western white pine, and a hemlock very much superior to our east- ern hemlock, but above all we have the spruce, the most widely distributed of all our forest trees. If we visit the mills of the Maritime Provinces we find them cutting that timber for export to Europe, aud so fast ig its natural reproduction in the moist Seen CANADA IN RELATION TO THE WORLD'S FUTURE TIMBER SUPPLY By E, STEWART, Dominion Superintendent of Forestry. climate of the coast that the same: territory can in the ordinary way of lumbering be recut about every twenty years. Starting west from the Atlantic in Nova Scotia we find the white and black spruce in all the older provinces and in all the districts of our Northwest Territories, while in the interior of British Columbia another variety, the Englemann spruce, a very useful tree; is found in great abundance, and west of this and extending to the coast, the giant of this species is found in the Menzies or Sitka spruce which almost rivals in size and utility the giant Douglas firs of the same district. Not only is the range of the different varieties of the spruce bounded only by the Atlantic and Pacific on the east and west, but it also extends over more degrees of latitude than any other of our native trees, reaching practically across the whole country from its southern boundary up to the limit of tree growth, in some places extending beyond the Aretic circle. It must not be inferred that the whole of this vast area is covered with merchautable timber, but on the other hand there can be no ques- tion that this country possesses an immense quantity of spruce timber which probably no other country can equal. A very large portion of it is growing on land which, from its rough character and also from its severe climate, is unsuited for the growth of agricultural products and should be kept perman- ently for the production of timber. In other words, it should be Canada’s wood lot. In addition to the utility of spruce for lumber it is of all varieties the one best adapted for pulp, an article which is now being applied to such a variety of purposes that the demand for pulpwood is enormously increasing every year, and tuere seems little question that this industry is only in its in- fancy and that our northern forest regions with the unlimited water power they possess will in the not distant future be the home of important and lasting industries. The eyes of the European nations are turned to Canada for their future supply of timber. Are their expectations to be realized or disappointed? This question can only be answered on certain conditions. If we fail to realize that we possess vast wealth in our wooded wilderness and take no means, first, to preserve the virgin growth, and second, to frame our policy so that growth and re- production may go on indefinitely, we will not only disappoint less favored countries in this respect, but also prevent the realization of the hopes of our owh people who have a right to demand the preservation of a really great heritage. We must not forget that we possess n those unin- habited wilds more than the merchantable timber now existing there. We too often overlook the potentiali- ties of the forest and forget that’ great life forces are constantly at work by which reproduction and growth are maintained so that the sapling of to-day will be the timber tree of to-morrow, and it in turn will cast its seed on the soil for another crop, in the still more distant future. Mr. J. R. Booth a year or two ago ventured the prediction that if correct for- estry methods were adopted in the pine regions of Canada our grandchildren would have a larger quan- tity of that variety of timber than we possess to-day. This opinion is probably correct. Taking Canada as a whole, there is no doubt what- ever that she possesses a first place among the tim- ber producing countries of the world, and it is to be hoped that this position in the future may not only be maintained but relatively advanced. ——<——$—$<—<—<—< ——————— W.

SAW milling, like ey- erything else, has advanced vith won- derful strides since fifty or sixty years ago;\ in fact, Sis growth has not been surpassed by any manufacturing in- dustry, and few have equalled it. Iifty years ago the mills were all driven by water power and were Jo- cated throughout the country wher- ever a stream could be found haying sufficient water to drive a small mill containing one upright saw, which did all the work, cut:ing the boards as well as edging them. One man could run the whole mill and take away and pile the lumber cut. The sawyer had time to take a smoke while the saw was working its way slowly through a log, The refuse was disposed of by being thrown into the stream to the great detriment of the fishing, no fishery inspector being around then to prevent the act. One yoke of oxen would Supply a mill with logs as fast as they could be cut, and the logs would be hauled from the stump at that. Remains of ancient saw mill equipment can be found to this day scattered along the different streams emptying into Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence river. Farmers often constructed mills to provide them Selves and their neighbors with necessary Juniber for building purposes, lath, shingles and other prod- ucts as now obtained from the refuse being then un- known. Lumber was scaled by the use o1 a tape line. No foreign market of much account existed! except for deals, which were generally rafted on top of a timber bottom and floated to Quebee. Everything was in a primitive state at that time as compared with saw milling of a few years later. J. B. BENSON. The capital invested was confined to a few hundred dollars in each mill. Men were paid to keep the mills from being covered up by the slabs and debris accumulating about the premises, they trrowing it into the stream or burning it. The next step in advance was when the circular saw came into use, some ten or twelve years after the above mentioned dates. This was a great stride in advance and produced great changes in the trade. Then began an era in the business which Opened up the export lumber trade until it Soon became of much importance. Men of large capital engaged in the manufacture of lumber and steam mills were built. This soon did away with the small water Pp wer mills, Lath, shingles, etc., began to be made. ‘he change effected by the introduction of the cireular driven by steam may probably be noted ag the greatest and most progressive step ever taken in the history of the manufacture of lumber. : Mills twenty-five years ago were confined to cir- culars and gates. The circular, ag compared with the gate, was wasteful, but did its work in a fair manner. ‘The gate, although not equal to the band of to-day, produced remarkably good lumber, uni- form in thickness and commanding a higher price than that produced by the cireular. It also effected a great saving over the circular, producing less saw- dust by reason of its smaller saw kerf—a saving of probably ten per cent. The gate, although good in many ways, had its drawbacks, among which might be mentioned the difficulty of putting large logs through, these hay- ing often to be cut down by the axe, which eaused a considerable loss of good lumber. Double or top circulars lessened this evil to a considerable extent, but few mills had them, and they were very liable to make a break or cause an uneven surface in the lumber so produced. This was something which lum- ber inspectors quickly recognized and often severely condemned under inspection. Until about twelve years ago circulars and slabbing and stock gates pre- vailed in all the best mills and produced a good description of lumber, but as before mentioned at a great sacrifice of timber and also inability to separate the best part of the log from the cull or poorer part as well es to divide a log into its most desirable thicknesses. The circular, of course, obyi- ated this difficulty where it was used; but just here a weakness occurred when the log was not properly placed on the carriage. In a large percentage of ae... ah % x 2 ae a January, 1905 mill. Through its use the greatest output from the log is obtained, while it has the advantage over the gate of enabling the sawyer to cut to such thick- nesses as are most desirable and also to grade ai the saw to 4 certain extent. When this mill first came into general use in thig country, it was sometimes weak in respect to uniformity of thickness, but to- day that difficulty has been overcome, even the double cutting band doing its work most efficiently and iproducing a description of lumber that is the pride of the inspectors—both as to uniformity of thickness and smoothness of surface, The management and operation of a saw mill of to-day, or I might ‘Say a modern saw mili, is some- thing which no novice need attempt unless he courts failure.

It is a question if small mills had not an advantage in this respect over the larger mills. The small mill man not being so rushed, took pains to properly place his log so as to obtain the greatest quantity of the best grades of lumber from it. He may have lost in time a board or two in quantity, but more than made it up in the value of lumber so obtained.

The old days have passed and the lumberman of to- day is as far in advance of his predecessor of half a century ago as is the railway train ahead of the old stage coach. Business tact and experience of the highest order are necessary to success. Millions of capital has been invested in lumbering opera- tions, and as a contributory to the financial resources of Ontario the lumberman stands most prominent. The operations of a saw mill of to-day begin, as formerly, at the log. Men of skill are employed to sort, boom and crowd up to the jack-ladder such — . i. a VARY, 1905 ~ as are immediately required in the mill to fill its present saw bill. The jacker, or man at the foot of the jack-ladder, floats his logs on to the hain, which is endless, and carries the log into the > mill, in rumbcr equal to tke mill’s capacity, say from one to two thousand pieces per day. - Upon their arrival in the mill they are immediately trans- ferred from the chain automaticaily to the several Aa log ways intended for them. Here aga‘n they are turned on to the carriages Ly appl a.ces which do away with the old-time manual labor of twenty-five years ago; in fact, heavy manual labor is now re- duced to a minimum. Clever mechanical appliances do the work of the mill in almost every instance where a few years.ago this was only effected at a expenditure of sweat and muscle. The sawyer on a steam feed double band miil now takes charge of the log. He must be a map of experience, active and quick witted, otherwise igs might come to grief. Upon this man depends a great extent the amount of work done each by the saw. He is also expected to guard st accidents to his saw.

It is absolutely necessary to have your lumber dry and in good shape so that it will come out at shipment in first-class condition. In shipping lumber competent scalers and tally boys are mecessary. A scaler should be able to decide at a glance the contents and quality of the boards as fast as a number of men can shove them from the pile to car or vessel. Good scalers of great expert- ness are necessary at a modern mill. An up-to-date mill can-now be fired by sawdust almost alone, whereas formerly great quantities of slabs had to be provided to fuel with. The sawdust is carried direct from the saws and dumped into the fires. The refuse of the logs is now being carefully hus- banded. Lath, barrel heading, box shooks, staves and shingles are produced from what formerly went to waste, while slabs not suitable for the before men- tioned products are carefully piled and shipped. Even sawdust is quite frequently shipped to the cities for different purposes, and at some mills the smallest and roughest of the refuse is used in the manufacture of wood alcohol. Re-sawing machines are largely in use to cut rough lumber and slabs into marketable shape. Fire appliances of all descriptions find a place in and about a modern mill, with often a drilled fire company of the employees. Fire insurance repre- sents a large outlay in the cost of management of a mill, Every day a careful count of the number of logs sawn should be handed in to the office, and the yard- man return an estimate of each day’s quantity of lumber sawn. Piles should be numbered and a plan of the yard kept in the office, by means of which the office man or manager can in a short time determine the location, quality and quantity of everything in the yard. The office staff of a large mill shoulJ comprise a number of capable accountants, time- keeper, message boy, typewriter, ete., and everything should be kept in a most thorough and systematie manner, There is no busier man in any business than the manager of a large saw mill. He is on deck at 7 a.m., and can always be found from then until 6 p.m. The saw mill of to-day is generally considered to be near perfection, but a few years hence will, no doubt, show great improvements on the present sys- tem. In this advancing age no one can afford to stand still, we must all keep on the move, and the saw mill man is bound to keep pace with the times. DOMINION GOVERNMENT TIMBER. In his report upon the forestry work m Canada, Mr. E. S Stewart, Superintendent of Forestry, says: It will be seen from the census of 1901, that an estimate is made of the area of forests and woodlands for each of the provinces and also for the Territories. That of Manitoba and the Territories is placed at 722,578 square miles. Add ‘to this 20,600 square miles of Dominion territory in the railway belt in British Columbia, and we have 742,578 square miles as the total on Dominion lands. Probably about one- fifth of this contains merchantable timber, or say 150,000 square miles, or 96,000,000 acres. After thus reducing ‘the area, and remembering that in ad- dition to the timber suitable for lumber, a large part of it is covered with spruce valuable for pulp- wood, it can scarcely be considered an extravagant estimate to place the merchantable timber, including pulpwood, at 2,000 feet board measure per acre, or in all 192,000,000,000 feet. We have thus arrived at a very rough approximation of the quantity of ‘timber now fit for use on the lands owned and con- trolled by the Dominion. At the lowest, the value of such timber standing in the tree may be put at $1 per thousand feet board measure, that would amount to $192,000,000. This represents only what might be collected by the Govern- ment as a royalty, and forms but a small part of its value to the country as a whole. Much of the timber is growing on land unsuitable for agriculture, but where water power is abundant, and with the power thus at hand this country should be without a rival in the manufacture of all articles in which timber forms the chief ingredient. It may be said that a very large percentage of this timber is not at present available, and that conse- quently its value is overestimated, but when we con- sider the great appreciation in the value of timber limits within the last ten or twenty years, and the scarcity of the world’s supply for the future, it is almost certain that the enhanced value that will be obtained in the future for what is now inaccessible will more than pay compound interest on the present estimated value. The above estimate takes no account of the younger growth. In considering the potentialities of our forest areas, their capability of affording a continu- ous crop should be kept clearly in view. Hyen under the discouraging conditions prevailing in our lum- ber regions after logging operations have ceased, it will be found in most cases that another crop, either of the original or other varieties, is fast springing up, and in my calculation of the value of a timbered territory, which is to remain permanently in forest, this growing crop should be taken into account. Without going too minutely into this phase of the subject, I am of the opinion that if we confine our cutting of saw logs to all trees above 12 inches at the butt and pulpwood to say 7 inches, the annual increment of growth fit for use will be not less than 140 feet board measure to the acre, or an annual growth increment equaling 13,440,000,000 feet, which at the above rate of $1 per thousand stumpage, would give a perpetual annual return equal to $13,440,000. THE WHITE PINE OF WISCONSIN. The State of Wisconsin will, according to the Mis- sissippi Valley Lumberman, be the next to give up the last of its white pine. The pine forests of Michigan have been consumed and théir lumber product has ceased to be an important factor in the general mar- ket. The annual output from that state is now be- low a billion feet. Wisconsin mills still continue to manufacture about two billion feet of lumber annually. Every year more mills are added to the silent list and the towns which have grown up about them are assuming new roles in their industrial char- acter. In our investigations to secure information upon the probable extent of the standing white pine in the northwest, we have compiled the following data for Wisconsin. In 1897 the Department of Agricul- ture of the United States Government made a caleu- lation of the white pine timber then standing in Wis- consin. This was based upon the estimates furnished by lumbermen, The research was made as thoroughly as possible and conducted among the smaller pro- ducers as well as the larger manufacturers. From these estimates the standing timber in Wisconsin at the beginning of 1897 was placed at eighteen bil- lion feet. The reports of the different mills which draw their log supply from Wisconsin timber show that there has been cut since that time 13,643,669,200 feet. Taking this amount from the eighteen billion feet standing ‘in 1897 will leave the present amount of standing timber at only 4,356,330,800 feet. A general survey of Wisconsin forests and of the re- ported holdings by the different owners of stumpage in that state makes these figures seem correct. If the mills continue to saw white pine as vigo1ously as in the past, Wisconsin will cease to be a white ipine lumber producer within the next three years. The state, however, is still rich in its hardwood and hemlock resources, The character of lumbering operations will undoubtedly undergo a change within the next year. Many of ithe mills which draw their entire log supply from white pine timber will go out of commission, others will reduce their eut and draw upon their holdings of other timber. It is therefore probable that less white pine will be cut in Wis- consin next year, and the remaining supply of timber will hold out longer than would be the case if the present output was continued. A man who don’t advertise is like a person trying to find a dollar in a dark room without a light. I, Dillenger has acquired about 6,000 acres of timber land in the vicinity of Kitchener, B,C., and purposes incorporating a company to commence ac- tive operations by the erection of a saw mill at that place. 40 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN ONTARIO’S FOREST RESERVES By THOS. SOUTHWORTH, Director of Forestry. THE Province of On- tario is one of the greatest business corporations in the world. Whether viewed in the light of an inheritor hay- ing a vast estate to dispose of, or as ali this and a trading company as well, Ontario is an extensive corpora- tion doing business in a very large way. Its shareholders are the individual people of the prov- ince, and handsome dividends are yearly paid to them in the form of the support of public services, charity and education, that would therwise be paid for out of their private pockets in the form of taxes. Taos. SOUTHWORTH. I presume it may be stated that the working ecapi- tal of the province is, through the right to levy taxes, only limited by the ability of the citizens to pay, as is the case with other similar corporations having more and richer shareholders, but it is proposed to refer only to the estate or inheritance common to us all in our land and water areas, and what they con- tain or produce. This includes land, forests, minerals, game, fish and water powers, all of which supply an income that could be increased if desired. Unlike many corporations or trading companies, however, the Province realizes that there are ways in which the ‘‘ greatest good to the greatest number’? of the shareholders in this enterprise may be reached other than in the direct payment of cash dividends, and it has been deemed for the general good that the forest should be worked as the chief producer of cash dividends. Therefore for the purpose of this article we will eliminate any consideration of any of the Provincial assets other than that of the Crown Forest. The forest wealth of the Province has until re- cently been classed under two divisions; that still remaining the property of the Crown partly sold under license to lumbermen, and partly without any claim at all; and that part held by settlers to whom lands had been allotted or sold by the Crown. THE LUMBERMEN AND FARMER. In the development of the timber trade in Ontario the idea gradually evolved was to dispose of the merchantable timber, principally pine, for cash reve- nue, before handing over the land on which it grew to individuals to be converted into farms. Having this idea in view, the business was not regarded as one of our permanent industries. The lumberman was considered as but the forerunner of the farmer, and no attempt was made for many years to do any more than harvest the standing crop of pine and other coniferous trees to the best advantage. No idea of taking off another crop than the original one was thought of. For many years this process worked well. As lumbermen established camps, and cut over their limits, the shantyman often became a farmer, squatting upon a tract of good land as he found it in the limit, and he was soon followed by his friends, This process has settled many townships in the Province, and where the land included in the limit was good for farming, no better plan could probably _be devised. The hardwoods and enough pine for building purposes were left on the land for the set- tler, and from the money received from the largest pine, roads were built for the settler and the whole people of the Province shared in the dividends. As the lumberman pushed farther north in search of pine, however, the character of the country changed. large areas were placed under license to lumbermen in which the land was unsuited for farm- ing. The settler still followed the lumberman and tried to make farms where nature had provided that forests only could be profitably grown, finding out only after their capital and the best years of their lives had been spent, that they had made a mistake. While these men have been wasting their efforts dragging out a bare existence, the Province has lost large sums in cash that might have been derived from these same areas had they been left to. produce a second crop of pine timber. In addition to the encroachments of settlers upon the forest area, fire proved a prominent factor in emphasizing the ephemeral character of the lumber industry; large tracts were burned over, until it began to be recognized as the natural thing that fire followed the lumberman. ‘The success of the fire ranging system adopted in 1885 showed that this danger could be largely removed. REFORESTATION. This partial immunity from forest fires led our leg- islators to consider the possibility of giving the forest industries a more permanent character, and in 1895 when I was appointed to the forestry work under ' the Government, I was directed by the then Commis- sioner of Crown Lands, the Hon. A. 8. Hardy, to submit a report on the best method of reforestating these burned areas with pine; to ascertain the com- parative cost of planting and of sowing tree seeds, with plan of operation. Estimates of ‘the cost of seedling trees for re- planting were secured, and in the process of in- vestigating the burned over areas to ascertain the probable cost of getting them in condition to replant or sow, I concluded and so reported that neither was mnecessary except in a few places. The cost of replanting or even of seed- ing successfully would be so great per acre that the directors of the corporation, the Legislature, would never vote the money necessary to accomplish the work over so large an area and they would be right, for it is very likely that the initial expense com- pounded even at three per cent. for the number of years necessary for the plantation to reach a mer- chantable age, plus the annual expenditure for pro- tection and care, would execed the amount realized from the crop even at the enhanced prices likely to be obtained at that time. TREE PLANTING UNNECESSARY, It may be said that even so, for the sake of the incidental or indirect benefits in the way of climatic effect and water supply the investment would be worth while, but it was found that planting was not at all necessary, that practically all the invest- ment required was time and freedom from settlement or fire. On burned over territory a new forest was growing, and in nearly every case, where pine was present in the previous crop, pine was growing again, not at first perhaps; the first crop after the fire was usually birch, poplar or other trees that seed yearly and whose seeds carry immense distances, but nearly always pine followed where the fire had left any parent pine trees within a wide radius, and would be found growing up under the shade and protection of the broad leaved trees, under the exact conditions required to make good timber. This condition of affairs simplified the problem of reforestation in Ontario Crown lands, and in my report to the Government in 1896 I recommended that areas found unsuited for general farming should be permanently withdrawn from settlement and placed in Forest Reserves. In the following year the Government appointed a Royal Commission to report on the same subject. This Commission included among its members two of the ablest lumbermen in Canada, the late E. W. Rathbun and the late John Bertram, and this Com- mission endorsed this recommendation as follows: ‘fA large portion of the Central Division of the —~ Province is more profitable 1 from the "standpoint o of” public revenue as forest land thax under cultivation for farm crops, and as in addition to this it contains the headwaters of all our principal streams, all that part of this Division found upon examination to be not well adapted for farming should be added to the Permanent Crown Forest Reserves.’’ In 1898 the Legislature passed an Act entitled ‘‘An Act to Establish Forest Reserves,’’ the first Specific action by legislation towards the creation of a permanent Crown Forest. This Act was submitted to the Legislature by Hon. J. M.

Under the Act there have so far been erea’ four Forest Reserves, amounting in all to 5,821, acres. These include the Eastern Forest Reserve 80,000 acres; the Sibley Forest Reserve of 45, acres; the Tisha Forest Reserve of 3,776,01 acres; and the Mississaga Reserve of 1,920,000 acres, There should be added to this Algonquin ‘Park | ereated in 1893 mainly as a Game Preserve, with an acreage of 1,101,000 acres, making a total of Perma- > nent Forest Reserves of 6,922,000 acres. gel These Reserves are of different character. The two former, the Eastern Reserve in Frontenac County ee and the Sibley Reserve, which takes in the township a of Sibley including Thunder Cape on the north shore es : of Lake Superior, have been lumbered, and in most eases burned over, and now contain a very thrifty a growth of white pine and other trees. It will be some Rs time before they are ready again for lumbering opera- : tions, but the growth is very rapid and the time when they may be again operated for pine and other timbers much less than would be imagined in the absence of definite information and measurements of the rate of growth of this young timber. The Temagami Reserve lies in the District of Nip- issing and contains 5,900 square miles or 3,776,000 acres. This Reserve besides including some of the — most picturesque and beautiful lakes in the world, of which Temagami and Lady Evelyn might be men- tioned, contains a very large quantity of pine tim- ber now ready to be cut. About forty years ago the band of Indians living in the territory, alarmed at the incursions of the lumbermen who were operat- ing on Lake Temiskaming and at the suggestion, it is said, of a Hudson’s Bay officer equally interested with them in the preservation of this country as a hunting ground, started a fire that swept over a good many hundreds of square miles, including the north- ern part of ‘Temagami, Lady Evelyn, Anima, Nipis- sing and other lakes. Over this burned territory there is now a thrifty growth of poplar, birch, as well as pine and other coniferous trees, the pine making growth at the rate of one inch in diameter in about two and a half to three years. Of the timber now sufficiently large to eut or what would be estimated by a lumberman in ‘buying the territory for lumbering, I believe there is about five thousand millions, or five billions of feet B. M., exclusive of spruce, tamarae and hardwoods. ; The Mississaga Reserve is included in the territory drained by the Winnebago and Mississaga rivers in the District of Algoma, and lies between the main line of the C. P. R. and the Sault Ste. Marie branch of the same line. It comprises a territory of 3,000 square miles, or 1,920,000 acres, and is estimated to contain over three thousand millions of feet of mer- chantable white pine besides other timbers. In giving these figures of areas of Forest Reserves, it must be borne in mind that the Government has only recently entered upon this policy, and it requires time to properly investigate the different areas be- | fore having them come under the provisions of the » Forest Reserves Act. By the Act a Reserve can be, created by Order-in-Council, but if on further inve + a, aw? Se at z a ANUARY, 1905 tigation it was found desirable to open this land for agricultural purposes, a subsequent Act of the Legis- lature would be necessary in order to take it out of the Reserves. In a general way, however, we are aware that there is a very large territory in the Province of Onitario peculiarly suitable for perma- nent forests. PERMANENT FOREST AREA, So far as the question of future timber supplies and the consequent effect on climate and industrial conditions are concerned the Province of Ontario is in a peculiarly fortunate condition. The southern part of the Province which extends almost into the middle of the United States is a very rich agricul- tural section, now entirely settled up, and the home of a prosperous agricultural community. North of _ this agricultural belt, stretching across the Province _ from east to west, lies the watershed separating the streams flowing south into the Great Lakes and the _ St. Lawrence from those flowing north into our great Canadian sea. This height of land or watershed is not a mountainous ridge, but a more or less level ___ tableland, rugged and rough in character, for the most ____— part quite unsuited for agriculture, but the natural home of the white and red pine, spruce and other ~~ coniferous trees. True, in this belt there are occas- - ional yalleys of good land. In the Temiskaming dis- ____ triet for instance, there are nearly a million acres of ____ rich alluvial clay soil. There is also a good agricul- tural section in the Rainy River valley and another one at Wabigoon on the main line of the C. P. R. But generally speaking, that is the character of this _ immense watershed stretching hundreds of miles across the Province from east to west. North of this territory again, on the slope running to Hudson’s Bay, lies another agricultural district, estimated to contain over sixteen millions of acres of first-class farming land, but covered at present with a very valuable growth of spruce and other = ” timber. . » By In estimating the annual dividends possible or likely to be derived from this forest asset, a goud many things have to be taken into account. While _ the Reserves so far created are pine bearing, not all of the territory suitable for reserves contain pine at _ present though they may be made to do so. Some of this territory is rocky and has been so severely burned over, notably on the north shore of Lake Superior, as to have no soil left, and we need to figure on long periods of time before those small _ areas will become productive. There must also be eliminated the water areas, and fire must be counted on as a contingency. ‘he ;resent Forest Reserve area includes distinctly pine bearing lands, and for purposes of computation over the whole area, I will take this area 6,922,000 , Seres as a basis. In a country where we have no large artificial plantations that have reached maturity - from the seed, it is difficult to form definite con- _ ¢lusions as to the annual growth of timber, but from ‘measurements obtained by the Washington Bureau of Forestry over many parts of the northern or pine- bearing states, they have adopted nearly sixty cubic feet as the normal annual growth under ordinary forest conditions on an acre of forest land. This includes the whole of all sorts of trees, not pine alone. This in board measure would be 720 feet per acre a per year. In our pine-bearing land, particularly in the Reserves referred to, white pine is not the only tree, but it is the dominant tree, and a large pro- a portion of this annual growth will be of that variety of timber. Pinchot end Graves in their exhaustive study of the white pine in Pennsylvania, estimate that a pine Fires 10 inches in diameter will yield 84 per cent. of _ merchantable timber, and in a tree 26 inches diam- _ eter only 7 per cent. is waste. Under continuous operations, 10 per cent. would be a fair allowance for waste in all kinds of timber, but there should also be eliminated much solid timber wot now mer- chantable. With allowance also for water areas and not well seeded, I do not think 300 feet B.M. acre an unreasonable estimate for the annual yth of pine on an acre of land in the areas. That ‘not unreasonable is shown from yields on lands at have been cut over. There are numerous in- t ; THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 41 stances where 50,000 feet of pine per acre have been eut, and this where only the merchantable trees were removed, leaving many others on the way to a mer- chantable size, while our estimate is for the total annual growth. An ordinary forest well seeded to pine would pro- duce this 50,000 feet in about 100 years or at the rate of 500 feet per year. One other deduction must ‘be made, however, for fire, for while we have greatly lessened the damage from this source, it must be counted on, and we will reduce this estimate 50 per cent. or 150 feet B.M. per acre per year for the pine timber only. This estimate applied to our present reserves would give an annual production of 1,038,- 300,000 feet. ; As to the value of this timber, much depends on its location and ease of access to market. On the basis of the recent timber sale, $7 per thousand feet would be a fair average as applied to the Reserves in ques- tion. This would return annually $7,268,100. This sum appears large, but it must be borne in mind that the territory now being operated each year, probably not so large as this, returns $1,000,000 to the ‘Treasury, and at $1.25 instead of $7 per thousand feet. It would perhaps be unfair to apply the prices realized at the recent sale to the whole of this area, but to reduce it to $5, a very modest estimate, the annual increment in pine would reach a value of $5,- 191,500, and besides the other timbers growing on the Reserves, spruce, cedar, birch, larch, maple, etc., have a commercial value that is rapidly increasing. One hundred and fifty thousand feet B.M. at $5 per M. would be worth 75 cents as the annual rental value of this land. It may at first sight appear high, but the Prussian Crown Forests under a most expen- sive semi-military system of management, including the cost of maintaining several Forestry Schools and Colleges, yield a net income over all expenses of about $1.45 per acre per year over the whole territory good and bad. I am well aware of the difference in conditions as to markets, etc., but surely if the Ger- mans can obtain a net revenue of $1.45, we can, in time at least, under proper management, realize half that sum as our gross revenue. I might also add that the Crown Forests of Saxony yield about $4.50 per acre per year, net. y A recent concrete instance of the growth of pine under somewhat adverse circumstances is shown by the result of a small plantation of pine trees on the sand plains of Nebraska. This plantation covers .52 of an acre on the ranch of Bruner Bros. in Lloit County, Nebraska. It is rectangular in form, meas- uring 70x 192 teet, and is located in sand hills bor- dering a dry valley. The trees on this plantation were set out in the spring of 1891 as three year old seed- lings averaging about eight inches in height. Fur- rows were turned two feet apart, and the trees were planted two feet apart in the furrows. Since planting the trees have received no cultivation whatever, but they have been protected from fire and stock. The altitude of the location is 2,200 feet. This sand is what is ordinarily called blow sand and covered some of the small seedlings. Last year the Bureau of Forestry at Washington had these trees counted and measured, when it was found that the total volume of wood in the plantation was 586.02 cubic feet, with a total annual growth of 50.6 cubic feet. This, converted into board measure, would be over 600 feet per year on a fraction over half an acre, or 1,200 feet per acre per year. It is true these trees were planted at regular in- tervals, and would therefore have a better chance for growth than trees reproduced by nature with her wasteful methods, but it must also be remembered that the soil was very bad and of such a nature as had been considered hitherto quite incapable of growing trees at all. Hence it will be seen that my estimate of 150 feet B.M. per acre per year in our peculiar pine bearing country is a very moderate estimate. Applying this estimate to say 40,000,000 acres of Permanent Re- serves, which I hope to live to see, we have a yearly growth of 6,000,000,000 feet, which at $5 per M. would represent a value of $30,000,000. This is not a rosy picture, but a very conservative estimate, and if the timber other than pine is con- sidered, it will be found low. MANAGEMENT OF FOREST RESERVES. And now having definitely adopted the policy of separating agricultural from non-agricultural lands, placing large areas cf non-agricultural lands in Reserves to form a permanent Crown Forest to be operated in perpetuity for timber supplies and the payment of cash dividends, the problem is presented of how to work ‘these Reserves to the best advantage. In this various problems present themselves. The first, of course, is the great one of fire protection, but this I am happy to say we are within reasonable dis- tance of having solved. Of course in the forest, as in the city, the prevention of fires entirely is an im- possibility, and in the forest there is the added diffi- culty not often found in well regulated cities, that a fire once under headway cannot be checked by any human agency at present known. At ithe same time the system of patrol adopted some years age is proy- ing very effective, and our losses from fires for the past few years have been inconsiderable. Among the most serious problems confronting the Government in the permanent timber policy, is the reproduction of the right kind of species from a com- mercial point of view. This Province is the habitat of probably the most valuable timber tree in the world, the Weymouth or White Pine, the tree that has been so great a factor in the prosperity of the Province. There are peculiar features connected with its reproduction that have to be carefully considered in any permanent forestry operations. In the first place, forest has been operated for pine for a number of years, and where no fire has taken place, there seems to be no seedling pines coming up. True, there are pine trees still growing to take the place of the mature trees removed, but they are trees that were suppressed and stunted in their growth at the time of the previous lumbering operations, and that took on new growth after the pressure in the forest was relieved, but I cannot find that in a forest of this sort there is any new crop coming on, that is to say, trees that have seeded since the cutting of the origi- nal crop. Why this is so is not quite clear to me, but I imagine the reason will be found in the fact that the ground and the conditions of shade are not suitable lags proper germination and growth of the pine seeds. (On the other hand, where there has been a forest fire, after lumbering operations, we nearly always find a growth of young pine coming up, at any rate if any old or seed trees have been left in the vicinity of the fire. Assuming this condition of affairs to be general, that young pine will not come up as a second crop except under suitable conditions, it will readily be seen that if in operating an old forest, nothing but the pine trees are taken out, the result must eventu- ally be that the character of the forest will have changed from a pine forest to one of another descrip- tion, and necessarily of a less valuable character. If it is pine mixed with spruce, if the pine is removed and the spruce only allowed to reproduce, it will naturally become a spruce forest, or a hardwood forest as the case may be. Hence it is obvious that in operating an old or virgin forest with a view of reproduction of the most valuable sorts of trees, a scientific knowledge of the growth and method of reproduction of these trees will be necessary in order to have the cutting prop- erly executed. This must be done also with a view to the financial part of the operation, because whether in private forestry or Government forestry, it must necessarily be largely a commercial proposi- tion, and the cost of operating must be considered in its relation to the ultimate profit. This is one of the problems confronting us. There are others of a more or less technical nature, and for their solution scientifically trained men will, in my opinion, be necessary. That we have many men ‘engaged in the lumbering business who are highly skilled men indeed in the operation of removing the present standing crop of timber as expeditiously and economically as possible, is true, but their training is not extended to the problem of removing this tim- yer with any regard to a future crop. While we need scientifically trained men for this purpose, men with a knowledge of botany, plant path- ology and general sylviculture, as these men would have to be employed partly by the Government, partly by lumbermen, it would be necessary that in addition to these things they should also be expert lumbermen, and have a thorough knowledge of log- ging, driving to market, sawing, culling lumber, etc., so that in addition to the training they could receive in the schools, their education would be utterly incom- plete without the other training in the bush and in the saw mill, as well as in the lumber yard. For the proper management of our Permanent For- ests, well trained men will be needed and it will re- quire the joint training of the college, the bush and the saw mill to produce them. I have noticed that where a’ 42 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN THE COOPERAGE STOCK INDUSTRY OF CANADA A GREAT many years ago, when the prin- cipal exports from Canada to the Old Country consisted. of furs and timber, some enterprising Frenchmen (or pos- sibly Scotchmen), who had come from our Motherland, be- ing employed in the manufacture of barrels and casks, conceived the idea of gettig out staves and heading in Canada for ex- port to Great Bri- tain. In those days the forests contained a great deal of fine white oak all the way from Quebec to Windsor, but more especially in the western penin- sula, and those trees were cut down, squared up with a broad-axe and shipped to England, the consequence being that only the finest trees were used and only part of them, namely, the part that could be put into square timber. This square timber was floated down to Montreal, loaded on vessels there for the Old Country, where it was used for the manufacture of lumber, and, I pre- sume, staves also. This enterprising Frenchman or Scotchman no doubt saw the terrible waste which occurred by only using certain parts of the trees, and also saw the trees which were passed as not fit for square timber, but which would make excellent staves and undoubtedly this was the commencement of the cooperage industry in Canada. Staves were taken out for the wine casks of France and Spain, and the whiskey casks of Great Britain and Ireland, and before long ‘‘Canada Butts’’ and we Quebee Pipe Staves’’ became standard grades in Great Britain and.on the Continent. At that time all of the sugar used in England came from the West Indies and was shipped in hogs- heads, and the West Indies Hhd. Staves were also manufactured in Canada, shipped to England, where they were made into shooks and sent over to the West Indies to be filled with sugar, molasses and rum, As the oak got scarcer in the east, the hewers and stave makers drifted west, until Chatham, Ont., be- came one of the great centres of the stave industry. The old residents here have told the writer that years ago McGregor creek and Thames river, which converse at Chatham, would have its waters covered for miles every spring with square oak, walnut tim- ber, Canada butts, Quebec pipe staves and West India Hhd. Staves, and the smaller and_ shorter pieces of oak, utilized for barrel keg staves and heading. These were loaded on vessel in the Thames river, sent down to Montreal, and in some eases sent direct to England from Chatham. This, of course, was entirely tight barrel stock, as in those days no slack barrel stock was exported from Canada, as being all made by hand it was too expensive to send over to the Old Country, which at that time was almost entirely supplied with Norway fir staves and beech staves made from the timber growing in Hag- land, Ireland and Scotland. Mr. Neil Watson, of Mull, Ont., now a manufac- turer of slack barrel stock, hauled staves from Har- wick township to Buckhorn Beach for years and sold his pipe staves, 60x5x2”, at $25 per thousand, and West India staves, 44x4%x1”, at $5 to $8 per 1,200 for shipment to England. Tight barrel stock in Canada is now almost a thing of the past, the oak having been almost ex- hausted, and .what staves are made here now are used entirely for local consumption, either being Jas. INNES. By JAS. INNES, Chatham, Ont. made in the old way, which I will describe, or being sawed on a Drum saw. The method of manufacturing in the early days, in fact it is still in use, was to cut the trees up into bolt lengths, according to the quality of the tree, whether suitable for long or short staves of head- ing, then to split these bolts with a Froe knife, and in some cases, such as ‘‘Canada Butts,’’ dress them with a draw knife and ship them in the rough, some- times taking the sap off, but other times shipping them with the sap on. Now most of the oak staves are sawn on a Drum saw, which does away with a great deal of waste, on account of the slips on the part of the workman with the Froe, and also enables the manufacturers to use tougher oak and timber which would not split freely with a Froe, in fact, work up everything very close. ‘The bucker, for bucking staves, never got much of a foothold in Can- ada, as the timber was practically exhausted here before bucked staves were saleable on foreign mar- kets. Oak Heading, instead of being split now, is sawed, and while in the old days the head used to be split, finished off with a draw knife, marked off with a compass and sawed out by hand, the bevel also be- ing put on with a draw knife, the heading is now sawed on a swing saw, piled in the yard to dry, put through a kiln when partially seasoned, run through a planer and turned up with a rounding machine, which puts on the bevel and turns the head at the same time. As already stated, the manufacture of tight barrel stock in Canada from oak is now almost a thing of the past, and does not figure very much in the export trade of Canada. We will now turn to the manufacture of slack barrel stock. Years ago when the manufacturing industries in Canada were in their infancy and the consumption of barrels was a very minor matter, coopers made their staves and heading for flour and © other slack barrels in the same manner as they used to make their tight barrel stock, in fact the same as a great many tight barrel staves and heading are still made in the United States.% The cooper would get his bolts in the winter, haul them to his cooper shop, split out his staves with his froe, and in the winter make the staves with a draw knife, jointing them on a planer jointer, in some cases even putting on the joint with his draw knife. At that time slack barrel staves were made almost entirely from red oak and basswood, the cooper making his staves during the winter months in his shop, seasoning them inside his barn or cooper shop, and making up his barrels as required, and af- ter the staves were seasoned selling them from 75 cents to $1 each. Coopering at that time was simply a side issue, the cooper being also a farmer, car- penter, or some other iradesman, and making all kinds of barrels and casks from a flour barrel to a water tank. Years rolled on, the red oak forests of Canada became a thing of the past—what oak was left would bring very much higher prices for lumber or bending purposes, sawn timbers, etc., than it would bring for staves, and the same applied to the States of New York, Ohio and Indiana, which at that time were large stave producers. Some Yankee genius (sad to say unknown), possibly a man who thought there was a great waste of energy in making staves by hand, got his brains to work and invented the modern stave knife for cutting slack barrel staves from steamed bolts. The machine as at first invented is practically _ the same as is in use at the present time, the only improvements that have been made being that the machine is made twice as heavy as formerly, so as to be rigid and do away with the cutting of thin staves. A balance wheel was put on so as to make the strokes more regular, and the speed increased from 50 revolutions per minute, which was the orig- inal cut of the machine, to 150 or 160 revolutions per minute, which is the speed at which the modern stave” - knives are run. When this machine was first in use the staves were made entirely from red oak and basswood, the bolts — being split out with a froe or axe, brought to the mill in this way and cut into staves. Immense elm forests then attracted the attention of some of th stave manufacturers and they experimented with ing elm staves. It is not a great many years ; only since I came to this country, that red oak stave were the principal kind used on the Minneapo market, now elm is almost entirely used, in f red oak staves are not liked on account of so hard to work. For a great many years nothing but sp! were used, until some manufacturer, with a s attached, conceived the idea of sawing his bol is, until fifteen years ago staves made from s commanded a lower price than staves — bolts, as the coopers were of the opinion could not be made straight grained bie ti were split, and it took a great many J this erroneous idea. Now there is the country making staves from anythi bolts, and elm is the principal timber is considered always desirable to any present time, although birch, beech, Southern woods are now crowding elm off the market, on account of the high pr stumpage. 4 at We will now turn to the hoop indy about twenty years ago all of the barrels ba with what is known as half-round hoops. — cut these hoops in the winter, hauled cooper shop, and spent the long winter x I not making staves in making hoops for trade. ‘Then the racked hoop made from came into vogue, this being the precursor | modern patent cut elm hoop. For a gr years the hoops were made either racke from elm, and finished with a draw knife, idea was conceived of cutting the hoops the | staves from elm plank, and this hoop was when it was perfected, to be superior in every to the racked or bark hoop. It is still the pr hoop on the market, although on account of the city of elm a great many wire hoops are being to supplement the elm hoops on the barrels. — iron hoop alone does not give sufficient rigidity t barrel, and if not supplemented with the Lee Heading, which formerly used ‘3 be ana same way as staves, split from bolts, dressed of a draw knife, in fact the same as tight barrel hi ing, is now sawed on a swing saw, kiln dried : turned on a turning machine, at the rate of 3 sets per day to one machine, whereas formerly was a very good cooper who would turn out 25° in a day. While the tight barrel cooperage industry of ada has declined, the slack barrel industry has le up until it is one of the most import n | in Canada, millions of dollars being invested in stave, hoop and heading mills all over the country om | Nova Scotia to Ontario, and barrels being used for almost every conceivable purpose, as they are the handiest, strongest and best package that has yet — been invented by man. There is no doubt but there is timber in parts: of Canada which are yet undeveloped to continue this industry for a number of years, and no doubt before the supply is exhausted methods of re-forestry will .: be inaugurated by the Canadian Government the same as are in vogue in Norway and Sweden. It © ) | - | is one of the greatest industries we have in Canada — F and should be fostered so as to continue in per- petuity. * af JANUARY, 1905 TO look back for twenty-five years to the conditions which surrounded the lum- ber industry of the Maritime Provinces ' at the beginning of ‘that period and raest compare them with ote the conditions of os to-day, one finds peg changes that speak eloquently of the ability and energy of the men who have been engaged in it during those years. j Perhaps the most arked change, at any rate the most important to e manufacturers, will be found in the difference e dimensions of the logs being sawn to-day and e of the earlier date.

In other sections of the ‘oyince the limits have not been worked for as a period and the timber is therefore better.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN By CHAS. McINTYRE, St. John, N. B. staple, the American mills manufacturing little else. Year by year the quantity of pine logs cut has de- creased until this year one million feet would easily cover the total manufacture on the St. John river. What logs there are, are small and of an inferior grade compared with those of the early eighties. At this latter time, provincial pine logs were worth from $9 to $12 per thousand feet at St. John, con- siderable variation being the rule owing to a corre- sponding variations in the size and quality of the logs. The value of pine logs such as were called ordinary in those days would probably be a great deal higher to-day were they obtainable. It is scarcely worth while to make any comparison with the prices to-day as there are seldom any lots of im- portance on the market. As the pine became gradually scarcer, spruce be- came more in demand and more valuable year by year in spite of the gradual degeneration in size. This increase in value is due chiefly to three facts: The logs are harder to get, wages and supplies are more costly and stumpage rates have materially in- creased. In the early eighties, spruce logs, that could not be duplicated in the provinces to-day at any price, brought from $7 to $8.50 per thousand at the mill; from this figure the price crept slowly upward until it reached $12.50, which mark was touched last year. This year spruce logs are lower, but it is felt that the depression is only temporary and that the high prices of last year will again prevail in the near future. For the past twenty-five years the market price of spruce lumber in the United Kingdom has been A QUARTER CENTURY OF LUMBERING IN THE MARITIME PROVINCES usually worth $2 more per M. because of their - product, when they are manufactured by an American citizen, being allowed to go into the United States free of duty) were sawn into English sizes and shipped to the United Kingdom. The high-water mark in prices was touched in 1903, when merchantable deals were sold in large quantities at figures that ranged from $13.25 per M. to $13.75 f.o.b. steamer at New © Brunswick port. Early in 1904 the English market took a decided slump. Prices fell suddenly and emphatically until on September 1st purchases could have been made as low as $11.50 per M., with the goods plentiful. That these low figures will be in evidence only tem- porarily is generally felt on all sides; nearly all of those most interested seem to have confidence in the probability that before many months have passed the purchase price of spruce deals for the English mar- ket will have climbed nearer to the figures prevalent in 1903, which in most opinions are, in view of the conditions bearing directly upon the industry at this particular period, much more normal than the prices eurrent this month. The general decrease in the dimensions of the logs being sawn, which was referred to earlier in this article, has had a marked effect upon the quantity of wide deals turned out and the result is that the difference in the percentage of wides in the specifi- cations is very apparent and very important in figur- ing the value. As to quality, the general impression seems to be that the Jumber of twenty years ago excelled that which is being manufactured to-day. This is owing to the fact that the larger growth is almost certain WaTER Power Saw MILL AT LitTLE SaLmMon River, St. JouN County, N. B. This mill was built by C. M.

The year 1879 was characterized by extremely low prices, several large lots being disposed of at figures that left from $5.75 to $6 per M. for merchantable. Of course, it would not be reasonable to use these figures as a criterion, for the year is recalled as one of light demand, heavy shipments and the consequent low returns men- tioned above. For several years following the trade showed a marked improvement both in prices and demand. A fair average price for the early eighties would be $8.50 per M. for merchantable spruce deals, ‘wo- thirds for fourths and ends, at the mill in New Brunswick. From that time until the year 1900 prices rose gradually, interrupted of course by many periods of temporary depression due to the presence of unfavorable conditions, but always when the reac- tion set in, gaining a little more ground than had been lost. The end of the century found the figures in the vicinity of $11.50 for merchantable. Then followed three very prosperous years. The demand during that period was extremely brisk and the ship- ments from the provinces were larger per year than they had ever been before, conditions being so favor- able that in many cases American logs (that are to be cleaner and to have fewer knots and twists. Of course, in making a comparison of prices this degen- eration in size and quality is a very important ele- ment. ‘Changes that are important to American manufac- turers more than to any others are those which have taken place in the vital conditions of the lumber markets of the Eastern States. Twenty-five years ago the consignments to this market consisted chiefly of pine, the greater part of which was made up of one-inch boards. To-day, for reasons mentioned in an earlier paragraph, the shipments of pine are few and light. With spruce it is exactly the reverse. In the late seventies and the early eighties, the ship- ments of spruce from the Maritime Provinces to the United States were of not very great importance; to-day spruce is the staple. The spruce trade in this direction has also changed in that the smaller sizes have been much less in de- mand during the last few years; where before the demand was principally for plank and scantling to- day it runs chiefly to three-inch. On the whole the variation in price has not been so great as in the case of the English markets, al- though sudden fluctuations are more frequent. In 4 . THE CANADA LUMBERMAN JANUARY, 1905 making a comparison, it cannot be said that there is any improvement in price. There have been heavy advances and again sharp drops, but there has been no change that could be positively said to be per- manent. Perhaps the change that is most apparent to the unpractised eye will be found in the machinery used — in manufacturing. In the early eighties the old- time water mill was no uncommon sight; to-day they are so scarce that it might be said they are extinct so far as thsir usefulness is concerned. The improvements in mill machinery have come gradually. There has been no abrupt departure from the old methods. The gang was the pioneer of long lumber manufacturing machinery. In or about the year 1880 the first rotary made its appearance in the Province of New Brunswick. Since that time the number of these machines has steadily increased, although they are used chiefly in country districts im small portable or stationary mills. They also find great favor in the minds of many when used in connection with a stock-gang. It is now about ten years since the band saw was first adopted, and while it has grown steadily in favor on account of its thin cut and consequent sav- ing of material, the gang still has many partisans. Of the improved double-cut band saws there are very few in this section of the country. Another important change which has taken place in the last quarter of a century will be found in the price of labor. Twenty-five per cent. would probably cover the actual outlay in cash, but when it is considered that the ten-hour and sometimes longer day has now been changed (by means of strikes in nearly all cases) to a mine-hour day, the increase takes on still larger proportions. Freights by water to all points and by all sorts of shipping are-much more favorable to the shipper. Twenty-five years ago 60s. per standard on deals to the West Coast of England was about the average rate, and $3 to Boston per M. s. ft. was quite ordi- nary. Charters have been made to the West Coast this season as low as 32%s. per standard, while to Boston $2.25 per M. has been the prevailing figure. A review of the whole situation from a financial standpoint leads to the following conclusions: Lumber of all kinds, manufactured in the Mari- time Provinces, has netted during the last ten years probably 20 per cent. more than was the case during the preceding ten years. In spite of this fact it is 7 SHIVES LUMBER CoMPANY—ATHOL MILL BEFORE SORTING SHEDS OR TRAMWAY WERE BUILT. well known that the profits of the men who own and operate the manufacturing plants were no larger during the latter period than during the former; in- deed it is a question if their gains were as great. Part of this increase in returns, and an important part, has gone to the laborer, the chopper, the log- driver and the mill-hand. The manufacturers of logging implements, the builders of mill machinery and the dealers in lumbermen’s supplies have each had a substantial portion of what is left. A large sum has gone yearly to the Department of Mines, Forests and Fisheries and to the private owners of lumber lands in the shape of the increase in stump- age rates. MILLS AND PROPERTIES OF THE SHIVES LUMBER COMPANY. We present in this issue several views of the mills and lumber operations of The Shives Lumber Com- pany, Limited, doing business in the town of Camp- bellton, New Brunswick, and vicinity. The company have three mills: a long lumber mill engine house and burner foundations are concrete. The machinery of the mill consists of a rotary carriage and twin circular for slabbing the logs for the gangs. The gangs are placed on massive con- crete foundations, and are not connected with the mill frame. They were made by the firm of Wickes Brothers, Saginaw, and are massive and strong and capable of doing an immense amount of work. Bach gang weighs 29 tons; one is 46 inches, and the other 48 inches inside. There are two large double edgers with divided rollers, which give them a capacity of four ordinary edgers, as two edgermen can work at There are two re-saws for sawing each machine. SHives LUMBER CompANY—ATHoL MILL FROM INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY TRACK. at Athol, two miles above Campbellton on the Resti- gouche river, and two mills in the town. The mill at Athol is one of the largest and most modern in the Maritime Provinces. It is 26 feet long and 65 feet wide, with two large sorting sheds in which the lumber passes over travelling chains on to the gort- ing tables, is sorted in sizes and qualities, placed on small cars and taken out to the piling ground on elevated tramways and lowered down on the piles. The engine room contains a 450 horse power engine, a dynamo engine driving the dynamo for supply- ing light to the mills and houses, and for driving a planing mill which is situated some distance from the main mill, and which is driven by motors. Tue engine and boiler houses are brick with iron rafters SHIVES LUMBER and galvanized iron roof, both entirely separate from the main mill. The steam plant consists of a battery of five tubu- lar boilers with brick ovens in front. The fuel ¢. n- sists of sawdust, which is fed automatically intd hoppers over the top of the brick ovens. A refuse burner 130 feet high and 28 feet in diameter, built of steel and lined with firebrick, con- sumes all surplus sawdust and waste wood from the mill, All the engine rooms, shafting, boiler houses, slabs into boards and planks, and another edger for edging any waney boards coming from re-saws. The lumber after leaving the gangs and edgers moves over the trimming tables to the sorting sheds and thence to the piling ground. From the time the logs come into the mill until lumber is put on the piles every modern labor saving appliance has been used to handle the lumber, waste, ete., quickly and cheaply, and to save as many men as possible. The mill also contains a double clapboard machine, sawing two bolts at the one time, each machine hav- ing a capacity of seven thousand pieces per day. The clapboards are air dried, taken to the clapboard planing mill, and placed. into bundles for shipment to the United States and local market. COMPANY—SHINGLE MILL AT CAMPBELLTON, =| The lath mill contains two bolters and tio lath machines, and has a capacity of from sixty to eighty thousand laths per day. There are also a number of smaller machines in connection with the mill for cutting waste into shingle binders, heading, box stuff, ete., thus utilizing the trimmings and mwaste ends. The capacity of the mill is from 150,000 to 200,000 superficial feet per day of ten hours, according to the kind of lumber sawn. (ph alt eel 8 JANUARY, 1905 The mill is protected from fire by a large Under- writer steam pump with a capacity of 750 gallons per minute. Iron mains from the pump run to all parts of, the mill and yard. The machine and repair shop is driven by separ- ate boiler and engine, and contains two large lathes, iron planer and drilling machine. In connection with the same there are blacksmith and carpenter shops. There is a fine boarding house which will accommo- date one hundred men, also sixteen tenement houses. The log pond at Athol is a very extensive one, and has a holding eapacity of about seven million super- ficial feet. The logs do not have to be rafted, but are sorted direct from the Restigouche Boom Com- jpany’s booms into the mill boom. The larger Campbellton shingle mill contains ten shingle machines and the other one four. Both mills haye a daily-capacity of 250,000 shingles. They haye each good booms for holding logs, and plenty f room for piling out sufficient eedar to keep them oing during the winter months. In connection with these mills are sheds that have a piling capacity of out fifteen million shingles. 1n connection with * the larger shingle mill there is a well equipped box ~~ plant amd dry kiln, and a tie-sawing machine by whith ties are manufactured, the company making a ae quantity of these. This ‘Season the company has shipped considerable lumber to Australia and South America, as well as the United Kingdom; all the shingles, clapboards and lath being marketed in the United States and the Provinces. ! ‘The most important feature of this company’s en- ormous plant and property is their extensive timber limits, comprising 884 square miles, situated along Suives LumBer Compjny—In THE SPRUCE Woops. ' the Main Restigouche, Qouataouam, Kedgewick and branches of the Restigouche, and on numerous smal- ler streams; 658 square miles are in the Province of New Brunswick and 226 in Quebec. The streams are all smooth and good to drive logs to the corporation booms three miles above Campbellton. There is a good growth of timber on the lands, con- sisting of spruce, pine, fir, cedar, poplar, virch and maple. The spruce and cedar are at present the principal cut, the trees being of a very large size and superior in quality to most found in Eastern Canada. The lands are all green and very free from fire risk, being at a considerable distance from settle- ments, and there has never been a fire on any of the company’s limits. Although most parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia suffered in 1903, which was a very dry season, no fires occurred on the Res- tigouche or any of its tributaries. The product of the mills is shipped at the port of Campbellton, which is a cheap and safe port. In- eluded in the many vessels loaded the past season were three large steamers that carried over three million feet each, and sailed from the wharf draw- ing twenty-one feet, A RETROSPECTIVE GLANCE BY A LUMBER SALESMAN. By Jos. OLIVER. IN giving my experi- ence as a salesman for the last twenty- five or thirty years, I presume it will largely consist of a history of the changes in the mode and manner of distribution of lumber during that time, Prior to the year 1870 the wholesale lumber business was done almost eutire- ly from yards, Col- Jos. OLIVER. well Bros. and Thompson, Smith & Sons being the two largest dealers in the city, the builders and planing mill men going to either one or other of them and selecting such piles as they wanted and having them marked up to them. About this time the late S. R. Briggs conceived the idea of selling in carload lots to the builders and planing mill men, and he thus became the pioneer in this line of business, which has since developed to its present large proportions. About the year 1873 I entered his employ. The lumber handled by this firm came very largely from small mills scattered all over Northern Ontario, from Collingwood, Penetang, Orillia and points south of there. » All the large mills, such as Thompson, Smith & Sons, Bradford; Beecher & Silliman, Belle Ewart ; Thompson & Miller, Longford; Georgian Bay Lumber Compaay, Waubaushene, and Peckham & Hoag, Collingwood; shipped a large proportion of their lumber to Oswego and ,Albany, the latter point being the general distrib utime’ centre at that time. Practically all the lumber came down the old Northern Railway and was shipped by vessel to Oswego and from there to Albany by eanal. About this time the new ~ Welland canal was being con- structed and a very large trade was done by vessel to Port Dalhousie, St. Catharines and Thorold; in fact all south shore points, including Rochester, Syracuse and Utica were supplied in the same way. The western trade was done by transhipping lumber to the Great Western Railway at Toronto, the gauge of the two roads being different. oO Lumber salesmen had rather an easier task sell- ing those days than at present. There was not the same competition as there is now, in fact I can only recall a few men who were on the road at that time and are still in business, Mr, A, R. Riches, of the THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 45 S. CG. Kanady Lumber Company, and Mr. N. Dyment, of Barrie. The latter gentleman was then and s1/l' is the most aggressive salesman that ever went on the road, and other salesmen always liked to be in town just a little ahead of him. We sold lumber all the way from Toronto to Windsor, and shipped by rail. Since that time the shipments from here by water have practically ceased, and instead of shipping out of here, the reverse is the case, as Sev- eral eargoes have been received during the past season. The trade on the North Shore began to be devel- oped about 1880, and wholesale yards were established at Point Edward, Sarnia and Windsor. From these points a very large trade has been carried on for some years, and as is well known, during the last few years saw mills have also been established at Sarnia, which are doing a large business. Buffalo and Tonawanda have also developed into very great lumber centres during this time, and have eut very largely into the eastern trade that was done via Oswego; in fact, the whole trade has changed and to-day men in the business out west can have their wants supplied from day to day instead of having to order in great quantities as they did in former times. Along with those advantages have also come the very great advance in prices. During that time lumber has advanced over 100 per cent., which indicates that our country is advancing very rapidly and the yisible supply of timber getting smaller every yearX We have now to go away south to get our requirements for bill timber, and before very long I expect to see a great deal of our supply, especially of bill timber, coming from our own British Columbia. SHIves LuMBER COMPANY—IN THE CEDAR Woops. To sum up, I think we have developed the sort- ing and selling of lumber to such a point that we can now give a purchaser anything he wants in the lumber line, and thus prevent him from having to buy a large quantity of material he does not require. In conclusion, allow me to say to you how much we appreciate the efforts that are being put forth by the ‘‘Canadian Lumberman’’ to in every way ad- vance the interests of the trade. NATIONAL WHOLESALE LUMBER DEALERS’ ASSOCIATION. The thirteenth annual meeting of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association will be held at Philadelphia, Pa., Wednesday and Thursday, March 1 and 2, 1905. The Association headquarters at Philadelphia will be the large and commodious hotel, ‘‘Bellevue Stratford,’’? and with the arrange- ments in effect, members will be able to attend the business meetings without inconvenience, as the convention hall is located in the hotel and is easily accessible, 46 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN JANUARY, 1905 A MODERN SAW MILL IN WINNIPEG. It would probably be impossible to find a more complete saw mill outfit than that which has been in- stalled at Winnipeg by the D. E. Sprague Lumber Company, Limited. It is now just about a quarter of a century since the present president first started in a modest way to supply Winnipeg demands for lumber, and thus established the foundation of the present gigantic Like most of Winnipeg’s pioneers he hailed leaving his native place in York attracted by the western business. from the east, county, Ontario, in 1872, prospects. From modest beginnings, the advance has been met from time to time by the installation of machinery to meet the demand, until at the present moment it is equipped second to no other mill in the Dominion. The latest addition to the plant was the recently perfected ‘‘horizontal band saw,’’ which is believed to be the only one at present in operation in Canada, and the ease with which the largest and most eum- brous of logs is manipulated is truly marvellous. This particular machine has a capacity of 90,000 lineal feet per day of 10 hours. The complete working of the mill, from start to finish, is of the greatest interest; devices have been arranged at every point to make the working of the various machines as effective as possible. The prin- cipal wood-working machines are arranged on the second floor of the building, and one can stand by the river side and see the immense logs being guided to the ‘‘Jack Ladder’’ and pass up to the second floor entrance and disappear as though by magic, to all appearance unattended by human help. Passing round to the opposite side of the mill, one is again amazed to witness finished lumber of all kinds and dimensions emerging’ from the building, apparently at its own sweet will, and passing down the sorting platform at various stages, where men are stationed to stack each jpiece in its respective location. Passing inside the building, the perfection of the detail arrangements is immediately apparent, the men employed, for the most part, having the appearance of looking on and watching the various processes, instead of being actual workers, so complete is the machinery employed. As” the log enters the building from the jack ladder previously noticed, it passes on to a system of rollers, all the smaller and unimportant stuff passing to the left to be treated for cordwood, whilst that turned to the right is passed to machines for more pretentious uses. SPRAGUE LUMBER Company, WINNIPEG—GENERAL VIEW OF LUMBER YARD AND SHED, WITH MILL IN THE DISTANCE ON THE LEFT. The cordwood machinery in operation is of great interest, as in addition to having the familiar cireu- lar saws, which cut up into the usual 16-inch and 4- foot, lengths, there is a machine of unique construc- tion specially devised for this mill, which consists of two heavy chopper blades, which are used. for splitting the cordwood for stove purposes. This machine has a capacity of some 40 cords of wood per day of 10 hours, Turning again to the jack ladder, one sees the large logs passing on to the rollers to be at once seized . ws by two immense iron arms, called kickers and Trg = gers, which rise up from below by the manipulation of a lever, and flings the log bodily on. tothe flying platform carriage, which in its turn grips. and car- “ries the log to the saw. The working of these two SPRAGUE LUMBER CoMPANy, WINNIPEG—INTERION OF MILL FROM THE Loc DeEcK ; Woop MAcHINE ON THE LEFT. machines is marvellous; the effect produced by ‘the arms rising, clutching the immense log, and turning or partly turning it and then pushing it along; is apparently of life rather than of inanimate mach- inery. - These machines, and also the carriage which flies at a great pace, are.worked by direct steam press- ure, at upwards. of 90 pounds. From this point all lumber is passed on an endless chain conveyor and carried o_its particular operation; it is tnen that the advantage of the.improved horizontal saw ‘comes into prominence; the large and important logs are carr:ed on revolving rollers to the horizontal saw and cut wp ‘into lumber. One of the remarkable features of this machine is its greater rapidity of eutting, while at the same time the work it does is stated to be better and more clean cut than is the case with the circular saw. va ees The-further equipment of the mill consists of an up-to-date gang edger, with almost a network of endless ecnveycrs carrying slabs und refuse to vari- ous receptacles whence they pass into hoppers ready for storage, whilst the prapared lumber passes, as before -mentioned, by a system of powerfulxendless chains to the sorting platform, which is upwards of 200° feet in length: The company have carried out the system of live rollers for ‘loading to great advantage, so that one man can accomplish with ease a task which under usual conditions would require several men. 7 The sorting platform is equipped with a long roller device, so that a stack of lumber can be easily passed onto the rig without the necessity of uastack- ing. The rig itself is also fitted with the roller device, so that by turnirg a handle the whole load can be rapidly passed cff when unloading. In addition to the saw mill, the company have also an excellently equipped planing mill with all the necessary machinery for the manufacture of mould- ing stock and re-sawing. A dry kiln with a capacity of some 50,000 feet, is also a part of the equipment. The saw mill has an easy capacity of some 100,000 feet per day, and upwards of 40 cords of wood. An important feature, and one which the company has suctessfully maintained, is their determination and to accomplish this they have made provision to carry an abundant stock of all lumber in demand, against all climatie conditions. They have just com- pleted the erection of their fourth dry storage shed, which will then give them a capacity for storing : a. = een, She, JANUARY, 1905 ita E CANADA LUMBERMAN . 47 under cover some 5,500,000 feet of matched and upper grade lumber, whilst the'r stock of weather stacked lumber covers many acres. The whole acreage of the company’s property is now nearly 40 acres, right in the main manufacturing part of the city. There are about 250 regular employees of the firm, and a stud of 74 horses is employed in the com- pany’s business. Recently the ecmyany ‘nstalled a complete electric SPRAGUE LUMBER COMPANY, WINNIPEG—VIEW OF HORIZONTAL BAND Saw. light plant, which was supplied by the Cancdian Gen- eral Electric Company, and the whole of their fac- tories, together with storage sheds and yards, will be well lighted, to enable the company to run a doubie staff of men, thus ensuring continuous working by day and night, a condition which the company has had to face quite frequently. BRICK BOILER SETTING. _Wherever it is desired to get along with the least possible consumption of coal in a steam plant, care as it tends to cool them and reduce the boiler effi- ciency accordingly. Look after this matter closely, for otherwise it may cost somebody several tons of coal. It is necessary to have one or more castiron doors by meaus of which ashes and soot can be removed, and these do not always shut tight enough to exclude air, hence they may be a source of loss. It is difficult to prevent cracks from appearing in the average boiler setting, but it is possible to close them with cement, mortar. or loose asbestos mixed with water to the consistency of stiff mortar. THE SCIENCE OF SHINGLE MAKING. Thirty-two years making shingle machinery. Truly time and results best tell the story of achievement, and a glance through the new XXXX Catalogue, just issued by Perkins & Company, the pioneer shingle machinery concern of Grand Rapids, Mich., shows a line of shingle producing machinery of every descrip- SPRAGUE LUMBER COMPANY, WINNIPEG—GENERAL VIEW OF PART oF LoG YARD. should be taken to know that there are no cracks in the boiler setting whereby cold air can rush in where it is not wanted. It is a very good idea to provide plenty of fresh air in many places, including the furnaces of our steam boilers, but when large quantities of it are allowed to go into the side walls and thence find its way to the hot gases as they travel under a boiler, it is sure to prove detrimental to the service, tion that is well calculated to bear out the claims of this firm for turning out the best machinery in their class, and one that fully proves that they have re- duced the making of shingles down to a science. This new catalogue, containing what is claimed to be the most complete and comprehensive line of hand feed, single, double and ten-blockers and other shin- gle mill machinery ever issued, plainly shows the result of their thirty-two years of concentration and study of the needs and requirements of the shingle manufacturer. ‘That they have stuck to their origi- nal idea of turning out superior shingle machines that stand in the front rank, is probably best attest- ed by the fact that Perkins’ machines are to-day in use in every civilized country on the globe, working successfully in every kind of wood. A request will, no doubt, bring any interested party a copy of this catalogue, which should be in the hands of every mill SPRAGUE LUMBER COMPANY, WINNIPEG—VIEW OF INTERIOR OF PORTION OF DrvYING SHED. man, foreman and manufacturer of shingles, head- ing or box boards. Address the manufacturers, Perk- ins & Company, Grand Rapids, Mich. It is surprising to note the prejudice a large class of woodworkers have against the use of the emery wheel for sharpening saws, when it is a positive and established fact that the cost of sharpening with emery is not one-twentieth that of the file for the same purpose, and the work can be done very much quicker. The idea that the automatie grinder is all Mr. D. E. SPRAGUE, President Sprague Lumber Company. that can be used is not well established, for in fact a man used to grinding by hand can do it quicker and quite as well. If the table is set properly, he ‘always grinds square across, and can keep his teeth ‘to even length and give them all a uniform pitch, three very essential points in the care of saws. The table, to do this, should stand parallel to the shaft, just even with the centre of it, and squarely to it. A little care with the right kind of a wheel prevents burning. 48 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN MODERN METHODS OF SAW MILLING. Some of the most modern and yet practical ideas have been adopted by Messrs. Wm. Cooke & Sons, of Hillsdale, Ont., in their lumbering operations. One of these is a saw mill on wheels, which, so far as we know, is the first of its kind in Canada, if not’ in America. The increasing difficulties connected with carrying on logging operations in winter, ‘and a natural disposition to devise plans to minimize the amount of manual labor required for a given purpose, ports the mill. There is a space of six inches be- tween the two bearings and the flanges of tha wheel, so that the wheel may travel back and forward around a curve. : The wheels are placed on a railroad rail which is sniked to a 6x 10-inch timber, as shown in the illus- tration, which timber is laid on tics 3x10 inches, of lengths varving from four to fourteen feet. The mill is moved by means of the block ana tackle, the power being furnished by the engine which operates the mill. . MOvaABLE SAW MILL oF WILLIAM CooKe & Sons, HiLLSDALE, Ont. led Mr. Wm. Cooke, the senior member of the firm and one of the pioneer lumbermen, to build a mill which could be transported to the timber rather than the timber being brought to the mill, and hig efforts in that direction have been most successful. This movable mill is built in the same manner as any ordinary stationary mill, with engine and boiler, lumber, shingle and wood-cutting machinery in ‘one frame. The bottom story is of frame 70 feet long and 12 feet wide, and has two bents running length- wise built and bolted strongly together like the trestle The capacity of the mill when running full handed is 25,000 feet of lumber, 20,000 shingles, and as much cordwood as is on the ground where the timber is cut; in fact, the land is cleared of everything but brush. When the timber for a distance of about 200 feet is cut out, the mill is moved along to a new location and the process repeated. The longest haul would not be over 300 feet. Messrs. Cooke & Sons operated the mill this fal] for about a month, during which time it was moved three times.. ‘They found that it possessed many MovaBLe Saw MILL oF WILLIAM CooKE & Sons, HILLspaLe, OnT.—SIDE VIEW. work of a bridge, making it very strong and rigid. The engine, boiler, shafting, shingle and wood-cut- ting machinery are on this lower floor. The upper story is 70 feet long and 18 feet wide, and is simply a plain floor where the lumber sawing machinery is placed. The roof is supported with studs of 2x4 hemlock and braced under the two sides. Running lengthwise of the mill are five wheels with flanges on each side 11 inches in diameter, and through each wheel extends a short shaft 21% inches in diameter with a bearing at each end which sup- advantages over the ordinary method of lumbering, the most important of which is probably that winter woods operations are eliminated, and the cost of ‘log- ging reduced to the lowest possible point. ‘The mill is so constructed that a person standing in the mill can see every man at work, both in the bush and in the mill, The jack ladder and one-half of the skidways are moved along with the mill on wheels, and the time required for moving the mill and getting it ready for operation again is usually less than two hours. The JANUARY, 1905 a SS cost of the lumber, from the stump to the finished - f product, is said to be only $3 per thousand, which undoubtedly represents a large saving. + Nothing but sawdust is used for fuel». Inx-this connection some part‘culars may be given of the con- struction of the boiler furnace, which embodies’ new ideas.The boiler is equipped with a.Dutch oven in “e Ram a | (i) ey I it Wn) Si i © R i l thd be Pegk Wm.

Cooke & Son have applied for a patent for this method of constructing a furnace, as they have found it to be most economical. They thoroughly tested it with their mill. which was burned down early last spring. The refuse burner in connection with this mill was constructed like a large Dutch oven, being 12 feet square outside. The side walls were made of common brick 12 inches thick and 14 feet high, with damper and furnace doors and arched over with brick. The grates were set two feet above the ground and in the centre of the arch or roof was a cast-iron frame, while over the frame there was a large hopper into which the refuse conveyors dumped the refuse. From one of the side walls a large brick flue extended out 16 feet, almost hori- zontal, which connected the burner with the smoke stack. This size and kind of refuse burner will consume all the refuse from a mill cutting 60,000 to 70,000 feet per day, and is claimed to be absolutely | i. ay January, 1905 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 49 8 ee safe. from fire, everything being consumed, even to the smoke. The cost of construction is about $400. At Mr. Cooke’s suggestion, the Haliburton Lumber Company remodelled the furnace of their mill upon % the plans outlined above, and say that they saved $600 in three months’ operations. Mr. Cooke has also invented a bolter for cutting shingle bolts from cedar logs which he claims will save 20 to 25 per cent. of timber over the old method of drag § towing the bolts. ms A SCOTCH LUMBERMAN IN NOVA SCOTIA. During the past five years a remarkable period of Reopen: has been experienced in the lumber in- dustry of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Capital, everywhere, attracted by the prosperity of the in- dusty, has sought chances for investment in the forest pot ‘both countries, so that lands which five ae ago were given away by the governments as plands upon payment of 40 cents an acre, or r acre, to- -day command from three to four dollars an acre and are eagerly sought for at that. This tremendous influx of capital has been accom- plished by the settlement of many experienced and 4 well-known lumbermen from Ontario, the United States and a few from Great Britain, whose opera- ie have been watched with the keenest interest by a the lumbering public of the Maritime Provinces. Chief among these, ever prominent in the public eye from the day on which he started operations in New- foundland in the year 1900, stands the sterling and Mr. Lewis MILLER. honest figure of Lewis Miller, head of the firm of - Lewis Miller & Company, Limited, one of Britain’s _ foremost lumbermen. Mr. Miller, who is now operating a large mill at Ingram River, N.S., besides a large business in Great _ Britain and in Beaten. was born at the town of Crieff, Perth county, Scotland, in the year 1848, __ where he was educated at the Crieff Academy, which he attended up to the age of fifteen. At that age, with true Scottish confidence in his ability to suc- ceed, he started business fer himself in the lumber trade, operating a smal] mill near his native town of Crieff. Success followed in his footsteps from the start, while year by year the business was de- a yeloped by the extension of operations and the ad- on of more capital, until he had as many as a ozen mills working in var:ous parts of Scotland. Crieff still continues to be the headquarters of Mr. ller’s operations. In the year 1882, convinced of the prospects of n increased demand for Swedish timber in the sh market, Mr. Miller purchased extensive forest s in Sweden, and energetically set to work to for the demands of his fellow countrymen in He built mills, worked them on economical a nd paying lines, and very soon succeeded in devel- oping a vast export business and gaining recognition me of the largest exporters of the country, and as an to be reckoned with in the councils of the ber Association of Sweden, which is recognized one of the strongest associations of its kind in the countries of the world. So vast indeed has xtension of his business become in Sweden, that exported from time to time a3 much as 40,000,- “were to be bought at the price of one collar u- attention towards Canada in the search for an open- ing for his sons, who follow the lumbering instincts of their father. He purchased extensive forest areas about the centre of Newfoundland and at Glenwood and Red Indian lake, built two large mills and the villace of Millertown on tke shores of the Red In- dian lake, and soon had in operation the largest in- dustry of its kind in the island, manufacturing at the rate of 170,000 feet of lumber per day of ten hours. However, on receipt of a first-class and very good offer from an American syndicate, he, in the spring of 1903, sold out his interest in Newfound- land. This American syndicate has now sold part of the Newfoundland property to the Harmsworths of London, who intend to erect large pulp and paper mills there. In October, 1903, Mr. Miller turned his attention towards Nova Scotia, where he purchased the properties owned by the Dominion Lumber Com- pany, which included a mill at Ingram Docks, twenty- five miles from Halifax, and 80,000 acres of good timber lands heavily clothed with spruce, white hem- lock and pine. Since taking possession Mr. Miller has had the mill thoroughly overhauled. He com- menced operations in June. The capacity runs in the neighborhood of £0,000 feet per day. A dry kiln with a capacity of 20,000 feet per day forms a valu- able addition to the property. Mr. Miller hopes to manufacture with the commencement of next sea- son’s operations from ten to fifteen million fect an- nually, all of which he intends to export to the Brit- ish market. Speaking to the writer, a member of our staff, on the condition of the British market and the export trade of the Maritime Provinces, Mr. Miller said: ‘‘The British market is in a bad state, caused by large over-production in Russia, Sweden and Canada. The lumbermen of the Maritime Proy- ince during the past three or four years have been securing big prices for their stocks, deals having gone up from $10 to $15, with the result that everybody has produced too much, there being more lumber on hand than the British market requires. Under such conditions the bulk of the Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick and Quebee exporters are sure to lose money this year, as with the increase in prices during the period mentioned, came an increase in the cost of production, the cost of labor in Nova Scotia alone having increased about 25 per cent. Five years ago labor-in Nova Scotia stood at $16 a month, while to-day it stands at $26 a month. Under the old price of labor it was possible to make a small margin on deals at $10, but at the present cost of production it is practically an utter impossibility to even pro- duce them at that figure. I can see no likelihood of immediate improvement until the manufacturers com- bine together to reduce production during the next few years. In striking contrast to the disjointed efforts of Canadian manufacturers, one turns to Sweden, which exports over one million standards per annum. Here the manufacturers have, during the past five or six years, had an association for the purpose of regulating production, and efforts in that direction have been attended with great success. What we need in Canada is combination on the part of exporters, and I venture to say that we would soon secure profitable prices and prevent our forests being so rapidly exhausted. In conclusion my final word to the lumbermen is that if they will only agree to decrease or curtail the output by at least 25 per cent. we would not have to wait twelve months. before prices would rise again to their former level.’’ THE LUMBER DEMAND IN SOUTH AFRICA. By J. G. JARDINE, OF CAPE TOWN. No doubt it is known to the readers of the CAN- ADA LUMBERMAN that business of all and every de- scrintion throughout South Africa at present is par- ticularly dull. The building trade has been decidedly quiet, as owing to a great deal of over-speculative building during the last year or two there appears to be no money to invest in buildings at present. As regards the future outlook I cannot say I look for much change for some little while. Cape Town itself has a very limited market for timber for build- ing purposes and also for the prepared lumber that might come from Canada. There are very few local manufacturers who consume any quantity of timber. Further, there is no timber imported into Cape Town to be sent up country to the other colonies, as is done from the other coast ports, Durban, Port Eliza- beth, East London and Lorenco Marques. From time to time previous to the war an occasional cargo or two of spruce deals was imported into Cape Town from the Dominion. The importation of these was entirely dependent upon the prices of the timber market in the Baltic. When the Swedes had a lim- ited production in any one year and prices were run up beyond a certain limit there was then a chance for two or three cargoes to be consumed in Cape Town and the neighborhood; and much the same can be said of the other coast ports named. Of more recent years, however, attention has been given to Orcgun pine from the Pac‘fic coast, owing to the prices of this, as well as the fact that cargoes of this timber can be obtained with a great number of long lengths. This Oregon pine comes as often as not from British Columbia, and we do not think, judging from the present state of affa‘rs, there will be any chance of cargoes of spruce deals, etc., from the Eastern District of Canada to compete with this timber. Regarding the prepared lumber, which sometimes comes forward from New York in small parcels, the consumption at present is so very little in the Cape of Good Hope, and competition so very keen, that it is very questionable if anything very much could be « done from Canada at any rate for a time. Merchants generally are well aware that a great deal of this lumber that comes from New York has orginally been brought down from Canada, but hitherto even with this before them they have not been able to see much chance of passing orders to Canada for direct shipments. The great bulk of timber reaches South Africa from the Baltic and the Pacific coast by sailing ves- sels. New South Wales is also coming to the front in hardwoods, such as blackbut for sleepers, wharf and bridge piles and girders; also the Jarrah wood from Western Australia for street paving, ete. It is claimed for Australian hardwoods that they are re- sistant to the ‘‘ white ant,’’ a most destructive pest out here; and this is the reason given by the railway authorities for preferring Australian woods for sleep- ers and bridge work from timber of other countries. But making every allowance in this respect, I am strongly of the opinion that Canadian expoiters, if they; will, are able to supply anything from a ‘‘butch- er’s skewer to a cabinet organ,’’ in the manufacture of which wood is an important factor. When Johannesburg shortly obtains a good supply of colored labor in the mines and the depression vanishes, the demand will be great for all kinds of timber, prepared and unprepared, aud the same can be said for many of the other towns in South Africa. I append the names and addresses of several promi- net timber dealers of wealth and standing at differ- ent points in Africa, all of whom are desirous of trading with Canadian timber firms, all things being equal: ; Ardene & Co., Cape ‘Town.

Nothing could be got to the outside world from this isolated spot. Douglas farm is the farthest outpost. of the bustling world that stands in that part of the globe, so far outside that the marchings and countermarch- ings of nations and people are heard of only at long intervals. For city-weary eyes no place could be more refreshing—the silent waters, the ghostly woods and the ineffable sweep of the sky. A sceptical soul must ever be horr‘bly out of place in such a green spot as Douglas farm.

Down the two went while I, throwing myself on the infuriated MeWhinnie’s feet, held on with the hug of a bear, at the same time calling with might and main for the guides. MeWhinnie was parking: ‘‘Let me up and I’ll do for the two of you,’’ all the while fighting and heaving into mighty eontortions, and Peters, every time he could get enough breath to articulate, interpolated: SUPA GS plain all, MeWh'nnie, wken you are calm.

There he sat and gazed at the alligator. ‘‘Now, sir,’’ said Peters, at last, ‘‘are you not glad you came? Will you take a photograph of an ‘alligator’ now?’? MeWhinnie shook his head. ‘Not to-day,’’ ke said. ‘‘I’ll wait til I come back. I don’t feel like snapping the thing now. Let’s get away.’ It befell, however, that at the very first portage we came to there was an ‘‘alligator’’ high and dry, snorting and scrambling its way overland. We saw it do the last hundred yards and enter the water at the foot of wild rapids. MeWhinnie evndescended to photograph it for us. SOME REFLECTIONS FROM A TORONTO STANDPOINT. By H. C. SALMON. IN looking back over a period of time con- temporary with the issue of your valu- able, and at all times interesting trade paper, so faithfully represent- ing the lumber in- terests of this young and rapidly growing country, we are somewhat at a loss where to begin. The names of firms in the trade, the prices, terms of purchase anid sale, transportation and freight rates, have all more or less changed during the last twenty-five years. Some firms that were the leaders in the trade in ‘Toronto, of _which only we are Hi. S.

MeWhinnie was growing calmer. “*T think a realization of the enormity of your con- duct is beginning to dawn on you, and I’II soon shift my quarters. Let me tell you that the alligator is built like a scow, with runners on the hull, and that the paddle wheels you see, or will see when you get up, are used only to propel the boat when she is travelling alone. When hauling a raft on the water or herself over Jand, she does so by means of an anchor and one thousand feet of cable.’’ firms. Among these were Christie, Kerr & Company, 8. C. Kanady, Oliver & McCracken, the Tenants, and others of lesser note. Other firms are still repre- sented in the trade by some of its members under a different style of firm, of which we might mention Donogh & Oliver, George Gall and the Caldwells. Among the yardmen such names as Greenless, Latch, Downey and Peter Scott are but memories. The firm of Hillock & Kent, Withrow & Hillock (both of the members of the latter firm being now de- ceased), Cook & Leak, Bryce Bros., DeLaplante & Bowden, Salmon & Watson, Fox & Company, CU. H. Edwards, J. C. Seott, Crone & Patton and Reid & Company, have all changed more or less. The only firms retaining their or‘ginal style of name that we are aware of are John H. Eyer and J. B. Smith & Sons, though the well-remembered and much-respected head of the latter firm has, with individuals of other firms, passed to the ‘‘Beyond.’’ Among the mill men most largely known to Toronto dealers, the names of Hay & Patton, W. W. Belding, the genial Robert and his more sedate brother W'1- liam Henry, have long ceased to solicit orders. Toner & Gregory, of Collingwood; D, Davidson, of Penetang; the Emery Lumber Company, of Midland, and other millmen who were prominent in those days as sellers do not figure in this market as they once did. Time does not seem to have made much change in some of the mill firms, unless it is to have extended and broadened their operations, as with the Georgian Bay Lumber Company, the Victoria Harbor Lumber Com- pany, Mickle, Dyment & Son, R. Laidlaw & Company, the Imperial Lumber Company and some others. Prices have wonderfully changed, as well as the style of putting the lumber on the market. It used to be Clear and Picks, Good Common, Common, Ship- ping Culls, and Mill Culls, anythine of a lower grade not being worth tke freight. Mow it is No. 1 and 2 Cuts, No. 3 Cuts and Pe'ter, Mill Ru», Mill Culls and Dead Culls—and they are Gead—this last grade at present commanding a better price than a good Shipping Cull in the ‘‘not so long ago.’?’ We have in mind good wide Sidings at $12 per M., good one and a half inch at $14, and a good stock of 114, and 2-inch Clear and Picks at $16, all f.o.c. in Toronto; also 2x12 Joisting at $11.50. Now these grades from, Mill Culls up would range from $11.50 per M., and in some cases even more, and all at point of shipment. The mill men in the old time were glad to quote prices f.o.c. in Toronto, now it is all f.0.¢. at point of shipment, taking no chances as to freight rates. ; The price of wh:te pine has risen to such an extent that substitutes have been put on the market, spruce, balsam, tamarac, aud now hemlock, the latter very largely taking the place of pine in the construction of dwelling houses.

SAW MILLS | THE VICTORIA LUMBER AND MANUFAC- TURING COMPANY. The Victoria Lumber and Manufacturing Company commenced operations at Chemainus fourteen years ago, by the purchase of the saw mill owned by Mr. H. Croft, which had a daily capacity of 40,000 feet of lumber. They operated the mill for one year, until their new mill was ready in 1891. The inaug- uration of the new mill, however, was not attended Much care has been exercised in the construction of the boiler room, which is a separate stone build- ing 64 feet square, containing fireproof doors. There are seven tubular boilers 66x16”, two slide valve engines, 26x30, one upright engine 14x22 inches —used to operate the electric light plant—one twin slide valve engine 22x28, and an electric dynamo of 600 candle power. The planing room is 92x 108 feet and has three planers, band re-saw machines, Saw MILL OF THE VICTORIA LUMBER AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY, CHEMAINUs, B.C. with the prosperity the company hoped for, and in June of the same year, owing to the overstocking of the market and the low prices obtainable for lum- ber, it was clcsed for a period of three and one-half years. Recommencing operations in the fall of 1894 the company’s property has since experienced a period of remarkable development and prosperity, its capac- ity having been increased to such an extent that to- day the company occupies the proud position of be- ing the largest lumber exporter in British Columbia. Chemainus is situated cn the east coast of Van- couver island, on a bay of about 300 acres of water area, which is called Horseskoe bay, with a good an- chorage in frcm twenty fathoms at the entrance to five at the wharves. It is easy of aceess, yet sheltered from all winds, and with ample wharf accommoda- tion, affords excellent shipping facilities, either by rail or water. It is about fifty miles from Victoria, B.C., cn the Esquimault and Nanaimo Railway. The pr-ncipal busine:s cf the company is expo:t trade. Shipments are made principally to Australia, China, South Ameriza, Africa and the United King- dom. LPesices this vast export trade, the company are among the largest shippers east and into the great Northwest market. To enable them to carry on such an immense business with a mill capable of producing 200,000 feet daily, tegether with a shingle mill with a capac- ity cf 50,000 feet yer day of 10 hours, the company have acquired over 122,000 ee:es ct fir:z-class fir, cedar and spruce, together with from thirty to forty acres of hemlcck and wh'te pine, while they have the assistance of over three hundred and fifty employees, with a pay roll amounting to the large sum of $20,- 000 monthly. The mill is 556 feet long by 84 feet wide, and at the front end extends 436 feet. The rear end is 92 feet wide and extends 108 feet. It is equipped with two Allis band saws, one Hill steam nigger, one Simonds log turner, one Wicks gang, two gang edgers, one pattern trimmer 50 feet long, one timber planer capable of planing a stick 30x 30 and 130 feet long, transfers for handling lumber, logs, live rollers for carrying lumber and slabs out of the mill, and a complete equipment of saw mill machinery, usually found in a well appointed mill. ? gang edgers and cut-off saws. The lath mill has a capacity of 30,000 lath per day of 10 hours. With such a vast amount of machinery t» be kept in repair, the company yery wisely constructed a machine shop adjoining the engine room 20x 140 feet, fitting it up with large lathes, metal planers, bolt cutter, drill presser, hydraulic wheel presser, ete. A filing room is attached 20x 140 feet, having automatic grinders and power rollers. Nearly all the mechinery in the mill was supplied feet long, and hauled out by steam donkey engines. Arriving at the mill they are hauled up into the log slip by an endless chain with steel saddles. Some are cut up into timber by the band saw alone, others be- ing cut into carts, carried over by the endless chain to the gang, and then cut into any size desired, from small timber to flooring. The lumber is carried on live rollers to the different patent trimmers and cut- off saws, the small timber going to the planing mill to be manufactured into siding, ship-laps, flooring, etc., the timber remaining being carried to’ the wharf which provides berths for seven ships. The business is managed by Mr. E. J. Palmer, ably assisted by Mr. W. H. Phipps, the Secretary; the other officers being Mr. J. A: Humbird, President, and Mr. 'T. J. Humbird, Treasurer.

The. accompanying illustration shows the mills of — the Brunette Saw Mill Company, one of the oldest organizations in British Columbia. The mills are admirably situated cn the Fraser river at Sapper- ton, and extend fully half a mile along the river front, giving employmert to over two hundred per- sons and controlling the output of ten logging camps throughout the province. : The business was first established in 1878, a small mill being erected which was operated up to the year 1890, when a new mill was constructed. In 1895 the mills were completely destroyed by fire and from — the ruins one of the finest and most complete estab- lishments along the entire Pacific coast sprang up, 7. They are rep- — resented by R. P. Rithet & Company, Victoria, B.C.; this being the company’s. present property, minus the single mill, which they bought in May, 1903, from the Dominion Shingle Manufacturing Company, of Sapperton. , : The plant consists of a saw mill, planing mill, shingle mill, dry kilns and a very large and well- equipped box factory. The saw mill is 350 feet long by 60 fect broad, and is equipped with one double circular saw, one circular saw and two edgers, with batteries for cutting inch lumber. ‘The re-saw car- riage is fitted with gun shot which eaables it to cut lumber at a very high speed. Attached to the mill is the boiler house, which is built entirely of brick with iron roof, this roofing be'ng a special feature ON THE LimITs OF THE CHEMAINUS LUMBER AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY, VANCOUVER ISLAND, B.C. by the Wm.

The company possess five heavy locomotives, thir- teen donkey engines, and have built a standard gauge railway for twelve miles to haul logs from the lum- ber camp to the mill. Hoists, weighing from 15 to 20 tons, are used in the woods to place logs in po- sition and hoist them on the cars. ‘The trees are eut with cross-cut saws up to lengths from 30 to 150 of all the buildings on the company’s property. The driving power is supplied by a 300 horse power engine — and six boilers 60 inches in diameter and 16 feet long. The entire equipment of both mill and boiler house, with the exception of the engine, was supplied by the Wm. Hamilton Manufacturing Company, of Peterborough, Ont. The planing mill is 155 feet long by 80 feet wide, and is equipped with seven planers and matchers. The shingle mill is an entirely separate plant by JANUARY, 1905 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 53 ° {het ships Ts Se Sah itself, situated 300 yards further up the Fraser river. This mill was first built for the purpose of cutting “polts, but a new addition was added for the cutting of logs in recent years, its dimensions to-day being 50 feet long by 70 feet broad. It is equipped with three of Johnson’s upright shingle machines, manu- factured in the local machine shops owned by Mr. Henry Schaake. Power is supplied by one boiler, with Du‘ oven, and one 50 horse power engine. The capacity of the lumber mill is 100,000 feet per day and that of the shingle mill 100,000 shingles a day, most of this huge output being marketed in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories. The com- pany, however, are developing a large trade in On- tario and Quebec, their red cedar shingles being in urgent demand even as far as Boston, Mass. The box factory is considered the largest and best equipped in the province. It is an entirely separate SoLcaNn Lake, B. C. building, and is situated at the eastern extremity of the company’s property. It is equipped with all the necessary trimmers and cut-off saws, three auto- matie nailing machines, one dove-tail and one set- ting-up machine and a two-colored printing machine. No other factory in British Columbia can claim pos- session of such a modern outfit. The majority of the machines were manufactured in St. Paul, Minn., by the Dove Tail Machine Company. The capeity of the factory is over 5,000 boxes a day, the company sell- ing over 400,000 yearly to the salmon packing com- panies around the mouth of the Fraser river. Other shipments are made all through the province, fruit boxes finding a ready market in the Kootenays and the Okanagon territory. The company have 35,000 acres of good fir, cedar and spruce where they keep a large force of men em- ployed getting out logs. Three modern steam tugs, owned by the company, are kept constantly busy tow- ing the logs to the mill. The manager of the mill, Mr. L. A. Lewis, is a man of great executive ability, and has been connect- ed with the company since 1888, coming from Dres- den, Ont., as cashier. That to-day he is manager is sufficient evidence of his energy and ability. He is ably assisted at the shingle mill by the brainy but quiet and unassuming J. Johnson, inventor of the Johnson shingle machine. THE ONTARIO-SLOCAN LUMBER COMPANY. The members of the Ontario-Slocan Lumber Com- pany are all experienced lumbermen hailing from Orillia, Ont., the headquarters of the company. They are James B. 'Tudhope, M.P.P., president; Thomas Chew, vice-president; Gevrge Chew, general power. A dry kiln, 30x100 feet, takes care of the output, which is from 60,000 to 75,000 per day; although the capacity, when running full time, is 125,000 per day. Ever since commencement of opera- tions in 1903, the entire output has been sold in Ontario alone. The company also operate a small saw mill at the head of the lake, with a capacity of 20,000 feet per dav, the output going to supply the miners around at Three Forks, Sandon, etc., and the Northwest.

H. Lavallee, secretary-treasurer. The company’s mills, which were only completed in 1903, are situated at Slocan City, at the foot of Slocan lake, about two hours’ journey from Nelson. Slocan is a typical little mining town, and affords splendid opportunities to the mountain climber and lover of Nature to indulge his tastes with gratifying results, while Slocan lake offers the best of boating, bathing and fishing, the summer weather being de- lightful. The plant consists of a single mill only, although it is probable that the company will erect a large lumber mill at a later date. The main building is 50x 120 feet, and is equipped with three Letson- Burpee machines and one clipper. Two boilers and one engine of 60 horse power supply the motive Saw MILL OF THE BRUNETTE SAWMILL CoMPANY, NEW WESTMINSTER, B. fifteen years ago, is situated on an arm of Victoria harbor, about one and one-half miles from the famous Esquimalt naval staticn. It is one of the most up-to-date mills in the province. The mill covers an area of three and one-half acres and commands a view of the famous Victoria Gorge on the north, and Rock bay to the south. The foun- dation of the main building and shingle mill is laid on a bed of solid rock, all necessity for bottom sills being thus obviated. The mill proper is 180 feet long by 60 feet broad. The sawing floor is equipped with one set of twin circular saws, a Waterous edger, the usual trimming saws and lath machinery, and all other accessories of a first-class plant. The capacity is 25,000 feet daily, and from five to six million a year. The shingle mill is attached to the main building, and forms a good sized industry in itself, although —owing to the overstocking of the market—it is at present closed. The mill is equipped with a heavy log haul-up rig for hauling up the logs in the log end of the building, and one Perkin’s machine, the capacity being 50,000 shingles in one day of ten hours. More than ordinary care has been given to the boiler-house, non-combustible materials being used as far as it was possible in its construction. A battery of two boilers was installed, each with a capacity of 350 horse power. ‘The mill is driven by three powerful steam engines, each with a capacity of 300 horse power. The company cut all their own logs from timber limits leased on Nitenat Lake, V.I., and deal exten- sively in cedar, fir and spruce, shipping the finished product along with the product of their small sash and door factory by the C. P. R. boats to all parts of the Kootenay and local markets. KEEP UP-TO-DATE.

OUR TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. A quarter of a century ago the value of lum- ber exported from Canada in one-year was not more than $10,000,000.; to-day it is about three times that amount. In addition, a vastly increased quantity is consumed by our home industries and exported as manufactured pro- duct. In many other branches of industry the expansion has been equaily great. No previous quarter-century witnessed such a development of our natural resources or such rapid strides along the path of commercial advancement. That the trade journals have aided in this progress will, we think, be admitted. This Anniversary Number marks the twenty-fifth yearly milestone in the history of the Canapa LUMBERMAN. Something of interest may be found on every one of the 104 pages compris- ing this number. It has been the aim to con- trast the conditions existing to-day in the lum- ber industry with those ot twenty-five years ago, and to portray some of the more impor- tant changes and improvements which have taken place. We hope that our readers will consider that the ground has Leen covered in a satisfactory manner. If so, we shall feel re- paid for the large amount of labor and expense involved in its preparation. Were it published solely for pecuniary gain, the result would not justify the effort. Of the items constituting the expense account, we might mention the cost of paper alone, which was upwards of $400. We desire to offer our appreciation to the many contributors who have assisted us, as well as tothe numerous advertisers whohave extended their liberal support. During the interval from 1880 to 1905 won- derful changes have taken place in the lumber field.- Specialization has been and is the trend of the times. This can be no more strikingly illustrated than by referring to the first number of the Canapa LuMBERMAN, published in Peter- boro, which contained two pages of lumber news and twelve p2ges of general reading, under such headings as ‘‘The Earth's Population,” “The Sultan’s Evil Genius,” ‘ Agricultural Notes,” ‘“‘Question of Higher Education,” etc. ~ duced. into To-day the most suecessful trade journals are devoted strictly to the industry they represent and give the requisite information iz as con- cise form as possible. The demand is for plain facts, tersely told. We can speak with gratification of the Jumber trade in the past. What has been accomplished for the development and improvement of the industry is doubtless much more than was anticipated at the begin- ning of the period under review and probably more than wiil be attained in the next twenty- five years, although we dare not predict of the future. The industry is on a better footing to-day than ever before—the ruthless destruc- tionofthe forest by fireis no longer permitted; instead of wantonly destroying the forests as in the earlier days, the public recognize the wisdom and necessity of preserving the tim- ber ; economical methods haye been intro- lumber manufacturing ; the raw material furnished by dur forests is each year being used to better advantage, and the country at large will eventually derive the great- est possible benefit from this national asset. Canada has yet an immense quantity of tim- ber, but it must be properly husbanded if we are to continue as a wood producing and ex- porting country. Happily, our Federal and Provincial Governments are fully alive to the situation and the next few years promise to see the adoption of some very effective plans for perpetuating the timber supply. What influence of a beneficial character this journal has exerted upon the lumber trade can best be judged by others than ourselves. We are conscious of shortcomings, and if at times we have expressed views which have not com- mended themselves to our readers, it should be attributed to error of judgment to which all are susceptible. As regards the future,we will continue to strive to better the condition of the important industry which the journal represents and to merit the support of the trade. May 1905 be the forerunner of many years of pros- perity and success for the lumber and allied interests. JUSTICE IN EQUALITY. The deplorable condition of the lumber and shingle industry of British Columbia ought to appeal to the Dominion Government in a man- ner that should bring some relief in the near future. Not only are many of the Jarge mills closed down owing to the unfair conditions which exist, but a number of the smaller manufacturers have become bankrupt. To what extent the larger firms will be able to continue operations under such adverse influ- ences will depend upon the condition of the United States lumber market. If the demand there should improve to an extent which will absorb the product of the mills and remove the slaughtering of lumber on the Canadian market, our manufacturers may again resume operations and be in a position to make a living profit. If the opposite condition should prevail, however, the only hope of a re- vival of the lumber industry of British Colum- bia lies in receiving some measure of protection from the hands of the Federal Government. The lumbermen of Western Canada are ask- a tid ing no favors. They simply wish to be placed — on an equal footing with other industries. The Canadian manufacturer of machinery is protected, by a duty, from American competi- tion. The Canadian laborer and artisan is protected frum competition by the Alien Labor Law. The Canadian manutacturer of lumber . is not only unprotected, but he is also excluded 3 from the United States market by a $2 duty. Is it reasonable to suppose that under such un- fair conditions the lumber trade can be de- veloped as it should? Free trade may be 8 good thing. Protection may be a good thing. 4 A policy which protects ‘one industry and leaves another open to unscrupulous competi- __ tion is assuredly unjust. ST The Discriminating Customs Act, which pre- vents the American manufacturer from selling —__ in Canada goods on which there is a duty any cheaper than they are sold for home consump- tien, cannot apply to lumber on account of the ne non-existence of an import duty, but this could — be overcome, and very effectively too, if the Government so desired. The placing ‘of a nominal duty, if only fifty cents a thousand, on American lumber, would render the Act effect- ive and give the Canadian producer some measure of protection. Then, when it could be shown that lumber was being sold in Can- ada at less than a fair market value, it would be subject, in addition to the duty otherwise established, to a special duty equal to the difference between such fair market value and the selling price. As The Government has apparently feared the condemnation and criticism of the western con- sumer, but a moderate measure of relief such as above suggested would furnish little ground for adverse criticism. ; A point which has not heretofore been men- tioned is the effect of present conditions on the timber supply. The lumber manufacturer is face to face with the necessity of producing lumber at the smallest possible cost and sets himself to work to build a mill which will cut the maximum of lumber at the minimum ex- pense. Thi he aims to accomplish without regard to the saving of timber. Such’ condi- tions will ultimately shorten the life ot the tim- ber supply, although temporarily meeting the exigencies of the situation. > _ A SIDE LINE FOR RETAILERS. Where the volume of trade is sufficiently = large, the retail dealer no doubt finds the most 7s satisfaction in confining his business to lumber 2 alone, but in many instances it is not only ad- i? visable but essential to have a combination ~~ yard in which is carried a stock of lumber, — coal, and perhaps general building supplies. A side line which is now being handled by some — dealers, and for which there is a rapidly grow- ing demand, is cement blocks. Machines for manufacturing these blocks can be purchased _ at a small cost and the making of them is com- __ paratively simple, so much so that they can be sold at a very reasonable price and still leavea good margin of profit for the manufacturer. Dealers who may not wish to purchase a manufacturing plant might find it an advantage to carry a stock of the blocks to supply the local requirements. “BAND VERSUS CIRCULAR. ; Ottawa, December 16, 1904. r CANADA LUMBERMAN : gees your issue of December, on 13, I notice four diagrams, two of an 8” fs of a 6” log, sawn into boards of I thickness ; ; Figs. 1 and 3 cut with a cir- of 7 gauge, 4%" kerf; Figs. 2 and 4 cut a band saw, 16 gauge, 7/64” kerf. rom my experience in the manufacture of er from small logs, both with circular and saws, also by previous making of dia- I was not satisfied that the amount of claimed in the article for the band saw, obtained from a 6” or 8" log, was pos- practice.

By DantEL WILSON, Collingwoed, Ont IT is understood that the term ** planing mill” as applied in this case is a building where lumber is taken in and worked up into all kinds of dressed material that enters into the construction of a building. As conditions are not similar in all DANIEL WILSON. instances, it is practically impossible to lay down definite plans that will work out satis- factorily in all cases, so we will confine our- selves to the general ideas which govern the majority of cases. In the first place it is important to plan the building in such a way that if it is required to increase its capacity, it can be enlarged to ad- vantage. This is very often overlooked and a building erected which is considered ample, but in a few years it is found that the business increased so much that more room is required. An addition is made which cannot be as con- venient as desired, and very often it is neces- sary to keep on increasing until the whole plant isunhandy. Both on account of the cost of tearing down the old building and replacing it with one more suited to present require- ments, as well as the stoppage of trade in the meantime, a great many carry on the business under great difficulties which could have been avoided in a large measure if the original building had been carefully thought out. There are a great many points which must be kept in sight. Itis advisable to havea fairly high ceiling to get the shafting well up out of the way and a good length of belt to each machine, as well as to have plenty of room for the shaving exhaust system. If possible place the engine and shafting so that the belts to the principal machines at least and the main driving belt will run with the slack side on top and the draw on the bottom, which allows the belts to be run much slacker and The build- ing should be not less than 7o feet wide from front torear (80 feet is better), with the bottom floor low enough and the doors large enough to permitthe load being driven right inside and placed where it is the most convenient, gives a better lap on the pulleys: ee Ee with the least possible handling. Where the lumber has to be handed in through the doors it costs more, and it is practically impossible to keep the lower flat warm in cold weather, and when the machinery is cold, it works stiff, takes more power to drive it, and will not do as good work. The men are obliged to wear more clothes and some kind of covering on the hands to keep warm; they cannot set up the machine nearly as quickly, consequently while the machinery costs more to run, you cannot get either the quantity or quality of work done in the same time that can be obtained ifthe building is warm. In addition, the danger of operating is much greater. A man is much _ more liable to injure himself or the machine when he is handling a wrench with numb fingers making necessary adjustments. Stand- ing operating a machine ona cold day with the doors open is acold proposition. By driving the load inside, the doors can be kept closed except when the loads are passing in or out, which is a decided improvement, even if the lower flat is not heated. Another very important consideration is to have plenty of light. It is impossible to have too much light and it is advisable to have as much as possible. Keeping the interior weil whitewashed is an expenditure that pays. It is not possible to get the same amount of work done ina badly lighted shop with low ceilings and dark walls that will be done with the same men ina shop with ceilings of good height, plenty of light and white interior. On a dark, dull day the dark shop has a depress- ing effect on the workmen and almost uncon- sciously they get into a listless way of working that is hard to shake off. On the other hand, a bright shop has an exhilarating effect which shows itself in the amount of work done; be- sides there is the extra cost of lighting up morning and evening during the short days. The placing of the machines is a very im- portant part. Every move that can be cut off in operating reduces the cost of production. The relation of one machine to the other must be carefully considered. Have them placed, whenever it is possible, so that when the work comes trom one machine it is right to hand for the next one. A good way to lay out the machines is to take each floor and lay it out to a scale, mark the shafting, hangers, couplings, pulleys, posts and all other obstruc- tions, then take a piece of cardboard and lay out the size of each machine to a scale, cut them out and write the name on each one, then place them on the floor plan and keep shifting them around until you get each of them in the THE CANADA LUMBERMAN == eye VV/OOd= Fie and Feet most convenient place joasitle to get the best (7 results in operating. It may take several _ hours of careful study to get them all arranged A satisfactorily, but you will find it a splendid + investment, as well as a most fascinating chee position, particularly among the smaller ma- chines which are usually placed on the second floor. Have them all placed convenient to each other, where one operator will not inter- fere with the other, and where you can get the driving pulley on the shaft, and a place for the countershaft with a belt not too long nor too short for each. Then pencil around each piece of cardboard and write the name of the ma- chine it represents on the squares they made on the floor plan, and the machines can be placed in a short time, the work having been drawn to a scale, and having all the measure- - ments on the floor plan. The next thing is belts. On wood-working machines they nearly all run fast over small pulleys, and the best belts are the cheapest in the end. Leather belts as wide as the pulley will take are the most suitable, and for the driving belts on the heavy machines at least, ‘double extra” gives the best results. Belts are not used for ornamentation, and men are not hired to run the machines for the purpose of giving them employment, but for the pur- pose of turning out the material. It is very short-sighted to equip a machine with narrow, light belts of inferior grade which run off or break when a thick or tough piece goes in. The time lost ky the machine and operator in humoring or fixing poor belts will very soon pay the cost of a good one. In building and equipping a planing mill, carefully thought-out plans beforehand means dollars saved in operating. ARRANGEMENT OF A MODERN WOOD-WORKING PLANT. Our readers will no doubt be interested in the following description and accompanying plans of the wood-working plant of Chappell Bros. & Company, Limited, at Sydney, N. S. Beginning at the basement, which is 7 feet deep and laid off as shown, the storage room is used to keep such stock as is to be seasoned slowly. Next is the fuel room to which the refuse from the machines finds its way—from those on the first floor, through openings in the floor, and from the second floor, through con- ductors. Coal is also admitted to the fuel room through the back windows. No. 1 on the plan is a 75h. p. boiler, the boiler room being a brick vault with a sheet iron ceiling, and the doors are covered with THE CANADA LUMBERMAN This ceiling is 14 feet high and, eer rises 7 feet above the first floor, and the space above it to the second floor, which is “always dry and warm, is found very useful. e blow off from the boiler runs to outside of wall and no trouble is experienced from escap- ing steam.

No. 3isa "dynamo, from which the entire plant is lighted. _ The proposed machine shop is a secondary consideration from the original plan, and is _ now useful as a store room for all odds and ds connected with the machinery, and as general workshop for the engineer and his assistants. Coming to the first floor we begin with No. 4, a large planer and matcher with drop heads that make it convenient as a surfacer. No. 5 Eis'a buzz planer, used for trueing up stock ‘bat é may need to be so treated before it goes to the - ripping saw or moulders. No. 6is a rotary saw with carriage, for squaring up posts, heavy ripping, and for trueing up edges of boards and _ planks that may be sprung edgewise. No. 7 is a rip saw with variable self feed. This chine carries any reasonable number of saws and is one of the most usefel tools in the plant. _ No. 8 is a swing cross cut saw. Next in order is No. 9, a large endless bed, 12 in., "four-sided, outside moulder, and is used for slaning, moulding, matching, sticking gutter, “he No. 10 is an emery stand, carrying a umber of wheels for general grinding.

This completes the list of machines and tools, except an emery stand on a platform suspended ~ from ceiling over the centre of the first floor. From this position the foreman of the first floor, who does the filing and grinding, can work and at the same time keep an eye on what is going on around him. A glance at the first floor plan will show that proper sanitary arrangements have been con- sidered. There is a drinking fount on each floor for the convenience of the employees, and also hose connections with the city water supply for fire protection. On the second floor plan will be noticed a large space at the head of the stairs, clear of posts or other obstructions. The idea of this is to have a place where large circles, arches or any large work may be done and fitted together. On the back side of the shop near the glue room will be noticed a large bench. By re- moving a part of the top marked X, a sash lay- ing out and marking device is exposed, which is simple in construction and a great time saver over other methods generally employed. The plan shows glue room enclosed by partition. This partition is hung to ceiling in three sections, by strong hinges, and is easily hauled up by means of ropes and blocks with which it is provided, and the glue room can then be thrown entirely open to the shop if so desired. rior Air chambo} eee ‘Fin sT-PLoon PLan: Kien pried jrorage propeyed machine Shep “DAS EmMenT PLAN PLANS OF CHAPPELL Bros. & COMPANY'S WooOD-WORKING FAcToRY. sash clamp, No. 25 a tenoning machine, N»>. 26 a mortiser, No. 27 a dado and grooving machine, No. 28 a band saw, No. 29 a heavy door clamp, No. 30 a veneer press, No. 31 a glue boiler, No. 32 an arm sander, No. 33 a post boring machine, No. 34 a set of emery wheels, No. 35 a light turning lathe, No. 36 a medium weight and No. 37 a strong turning lathe for long, heavy work.

D. storage room. Three men can handle these trolleys with 2000 feet of lumber on them. Regarding the heating of the kiln. The centre of the floor between rails is 12 inches lower than the floor level. Wood blecks from 6 inches to 18 inches long are placed on it and on these blocks rest pieces of pipe crosswise ; on these. pieces is laid a coil of 4000 feet of 11% in. pipe with two headers at one end and return elbows at the other. placed to give the pipes a drainage, and there- The wood blocks are so by no condensation remains in them. Through these pipes all the exhaust steam from the engine passes. In addition to this there is a coil of pipe and a fan in top of the engine room, over part of boiler room. This coil is supplied with live steam from the boiler and the hot dry air is driven through sheet iron pipes into the hollow wall of kiln, the ends of these pipes being so turned as to drive the air down to a position from which it must rise between the pipes through which the exhaust steam is passing. This forces the circulation, and the walls, ceiling and floor being hollow, and double boarded with paper between, except 10 feet opening in top floor and lower ceiling, the hot air must naturally rise through the lum- ber and return by the hollow wall to be reheat- ed and to mix with the dry hot air that is being forced in from the coil outside. Having shown that the air in the kiln is con- tinually rising through the lumber and return- ing by way of hollow wall, it is well to mention that one outside wall of the kiln is covered with copper only. This copper being cool actsas a condenser,and the dampness in the kiln adheres to it and the water runs down and drops off outside the building. Another good feature is that all air being forced in by a fan from hot coil, itis between the middle and outlet end, and there being a number of ventilators in the inlet end, the dampness coming from the newly admitted lumber cannot reach the lumber at or near the outlet end, but is forced through the ventilators. The use of this system allows lumber to be taken from the kiln every day and alike quantity admitted. The advantages of this will be readily seen by practical wood- workers. A look at the illustration shows a large ware- In this is stored the product of the moulding machines. In the corner of the yard is a forge and a hose house immediately behind the factory. house, where a hose reel and 400 feet of hose are kept. painting and glazing shop is a small house where glass is stored. On part of the first floor of the building near Under the platform leading to the the railway, are the general offices. On the second floor is situated the drafting department, the remainder of the building being used as warerooms. The paint shop and second floor of the fac- tory are heated by’steam,with return to boiler. The first floor is heated by steam, but being too low to return to boiler, a steam strap is used, and the outlet from it being attached to a soil pipe near the w.c., has the effect of keeping the w. c. free from frost even during the cold- est weather. rove ‘In addition to this general. steam heating system is a hot air blast, which is found useful in very cold weather, the pipes being so arranged that hot air can be forced to any part of the shop or centred upon certain machines, if* required. This model plant was designed by and’ con- structed under thé supervision of the general manager of the company. AN IMPROVED SWAGE SHAPER. The Pribnow swage shaper, recently greatly im- proved in design and utility, has, it is claimed, incor- porated in ils make-up the combined” advantage of the fifteen years’ practical experience of its inventor and of suggestions from many of the best filers in the country. The combination of the convenient and ac- curate adjustments between the adjustable clamping or shaping jaws 9 and 10, the adjustable tooth gage 4 and adjustable back guide 15, is the feature which makes the tool indispensable to the modern mill man or saw filer. The clamping or shaping jaws 9 and 10 are made of the finest tool steel and tempered by a special process which makes the working parts very hard, fit to cut glass, but still they will not chip nor break. The for- ward end of the clamping jaws is beveled and comes in contact with the saw tooth in such shape that it forms a perfect chisel point, a perfect clearance, and widest at the extreme point. The clamping jaws clamp the tooth the entire length, which action sup- ports the shaper in line with the saw and assures ac- curate shaping of the swaged points. It is essential to have the swaged points line up evenly on both sides of the saw to assure a straight cutling saw, this de- fect being most noticeable on double edge band saws. After the shaper is placed on the saw and a test shows that the teeth do not line up evenly on both sides, if the points line too heavily on the left side the clamping jaw to is moved ahead by adjusting set- screw 14; if the points line too heavily on the right side of the saw the clamping jaw 1o is let back by set- screw 14 till the points average even on both sides of the saw. A novel feature of tooth gage 4 and adjust- ing screw 6 and adjustable tooth gage holder play an important part in this act. The tooth gage 4 bears the same number on the end as the gage of the saw operated on. This tooth gage is a small round bar made of tool steel, the working end being accurately fitted to a standard form to straddle the swaged point, and the sides have the ex- act form of a finished tooth. A system is adopted so that each tooth gage is marked on its end with the gage of saw it is intended for, so that if a proper gage shall be used for the saw in hand the best results will be obtained. For illustration, a No. 16 will work ona 1o-gage saw, but a No. 10 will not work on a 16-gage saw. To adjust the tooth gage, if the finished point shall be too wide loosen setscrew 8 and turn thumbscrew 6 to the right; if the finished point be too narrow turn the thumbscrew to the left, and so on until the point is just right ; then tighten setscrew 8. Another sim- ple and valuable adjustment of the tooth gage in rela- tion to the clamping jaws is embodied in the adjust- able tooth gage holder. As a rule, on band saws the holder is left up, as shown in second _ illustration, but a slight movement down will bring the tooth in contact with a new wearing face of the clamping jaws and not change the gage of the finished point; in THE CANADA LUMBERMAN other words, on circular saws it is convenient to ad just the shaping jaws to a different pitch in relatio to the tooth and in connection with the adjustable back guide 15. The sectional cut shows a No. +i shaper mounted on a large circular saw. The second — cut shows the same shaper mounted on a common band saw. As a rule, the back guide is long enough to cover two teeth besides the tooth operated on. If this back i 1o ee guide (15) shall be aaciee so that the inner pe ik in touch with the point of tooth gage 4 the shaper will slide along easily on the saw and can be operated ce with one hand and does not need a handle ‘to steady - it on the saw, although there is a handle on the oppo- site side from the clamping lever 2 for the conven- — ience of the operator. Back guide 15 is adjusted by adjusting screw 18 and held in place by setscrew 13, so the shaper works equally as well on a circular saw as on band and gang saws; no matter what diameter < or width the saws may be nor how far between points, 4 with the handy adjusting screw 18 the — can Be tilted to suit any pitch of tooth. ~ ¥ Grinding gage 16 (also shown complete in eit Ne illustration) is furnished with each shaper. The clamp-— ing jaws are placed in it as shown at 17, and thus ac- — curately ground and always kept smooth, The clamp- THE IMPROVED SHAPER. ing jaws are reversible so that a four corners can be brought into use. This tool is made in three sizes, for saws ranging from 6 to 24 gage, by E. C.

The by-product of almost every veneer mill is excelsior, and some of our friends in the business have expressed themselves as being at aloss to find a market for the commodity. The well known consumers, such as furniture factories and dealers, the dealers in cabinet hardware, druggists’ sundries, and the whole range of the glass industries, are already well taken care of, and in nearly every case have contracts covering all the probable demand they will have in the regular conduct of their Now arises a new use that has come to our notice recently. The cut stone people, as well as the shippers of monuments, have begun to use excelsior in large quantities for padding the expensive designs for shipment. One ex- pensively carved capital from the Bedford stone district of Indiana, when crated and carefully stuffed for shipment, consumes something like a quarter of a bale of excelsior. It is easy to see just what large quantities would thus be called for in shipping all of the detailed parts of a great building operation which, in some 3 aT ; joy” i an ae | JANUARY, 1905 . True, the excelsior at times is likely to take fire by spontaneous combustion in hot, dry ' weather, causing a discoloration to the stone which is often hard to remove. Nevertheless, cut stone contractors have come to be large users of excelsior, and some of our friends will no doubt find an outlet in this direction for the by-product which has caused them some trouble to realize upon heretofore. We might mention also the wholesale liquor — dealers, who pack bottles of liquor into slack flour barrels and market them as a barrel of — bottles. These parties are using more excel- affairs. still to be provided for.

The February number of the CANADA LUMBERMAN will contain the usual annual review of the lumber trade, for which the statistics are now being collected. Many manufacturers have supplied the informa- tion asked for in our circular letter, and we hope that those who have not respond- ed will do so at once. We shall also be glad to receive from any of our readers statistics as to produc- tion or shipments covering their district which would assist us to make our report as complete as possible. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. Few lumber salesmen are on the road. Manufacturers and dealers are taking inventories and closing up the business for the past year. The movement of lumber, therefore, is comparatively light, although larger than at the corresponding time one year ago. Taken as a whole, the trade is in a very satisfactory condition. Stocks of the upper grades of white pine are fairly heavy, but this is offset toa large extent by the small stocks of the lower qualities. The demand for mill culls was brisk throughout the entire year, with the result that manufacturers are now almost com- pletely sold out. There is general antici- pition that the early spring will witness an active demand for white pine, and it is expected that in some grades there may be an advance. The average of prices will probably be higher than in 1904, but this will depend upon later developments. Red pine has declined considerably during the past twelve months and seems to be slow to recover. The hardwood market is two-sided. Some dealers have contracted for large blocks of stock and believe that the ten- dency is distinctly upwards, whereas, on the other hand, there are ample stocks for nearby requirements, and most manu- facturers are willing to accept orders at coming season. KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. II. current prices. Itis known also that afew large consumers are fairly well stocked and will not be in the market for some time. As compared with one year ago, the supply of basswood is perhaps heavier than any other lumber. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. There have been few transactions in spruce lumber on which to base a predic- tion as to future prices. The Quebec shippers are not urging sales. Within the past month, conditions have improved and prices Whether the improvement will be carried further will depend largely upon develop- ments in the British market. There is however, . little or no profit in manufacturing deals and selling them at current prices, and unless the return to the manufacturer shall be greater in the future, the production is likely to be much curtailed. There has been quite a recovery in clapboards, which declined from $6 to $8 per thousand feet during the past summer. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, This is the dullest period of the year for the lumber trade of the West, the demand being confined almost exclusively to small lots of finishing stock. Dealers in the country districts are buying nothing worthy of note, and the next two or three weeks will be given up to maturing plans for the The outlook is uncertain. The consumption of lumber will probably be as great as during the past year, although building operations in Winnipeg may show some falling off. Prices should experieuce some recovery, but until condi- tions in British Columbia manufacturing circles improve, not much progress in that direction is likely to be made. UNITED STATES. The close of the year finds the lumber business of the United States in a healthy condition. No one is trying to urge sales and such orders as are being booked are largely for actual requirements, although some dealers are contracting for the new cut. Stocks of most kinds of lumber are moderate. It is estimated that there is only 90,000,000 feet of all kinds on the docks at Duluth, and of this amount less than 50,000,000 feet is unsold.

Keenan Bros., Limite have advanced. ‘ CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION _ $21 on dock at Duluth, No. 1 Common $19, and No. 2 Common $17, while’ No. 3 Common is strong at $15. there is a scarcity of 2x12 dimension stock, on which the price has advanced from $18.75 to $20 within the past few weeks. The position of southern: pine is very favorabie. The curtailment of pro- duction has resulted in a short supply and a recovery in price. It is said that the price on car stuff has advanced from $4 to $6 a thousand, and yard stock from $1.50 to $3. The mills have plenty of orders for the new year anda further enhancement of values is looked for. The hemlock market is quiet but steady. Prices in the Siginaw Valley rule at $12 and $12.50 for piece stuff and $13 for boards. The move- ment of hardwoods is somewhat light, but the undertone of the market is firm. Quartered oak is still dragging, while plain oak sells as fast as it can be found, being in very light supply. Rock elm and birch are in some demand, with more enquiry for 2 inch than for the thinner sizes. Maple does not appear to be very strong, and estimates of 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 feet of dry stock carried over from last year have influenced sentiment somewhat. The maintenance of present prices of this lumber is about all that is expected. It is some years since white pine lath have been so scarce and holders are able to get almost any price they ask. The recovery in the price of red cedar shingles does not seem to have held in all instances, but asthe mills are still shut down, it is not easy to advance any good arguments in favor of lower prices. GREAT BRITAIN, Business in lumber is not expanding very rapidly, and despite the improvement which has taken place within the past month or six weeks, there is apparent on all sides a tendency towards conservatism. This may gradually pass away as the spring approaches, especially if the Russian-Japanese war should come to an early termination and money become easier. The tightness of money is doubt- less exerting an influence upon the trade at the present time. There is much satisfac- tion in knowing that stocks of lumber on the British market are light and not likely to be greatly increased during the winter In Chicago re ) Seta ist months, foundation for a healthy demand as soon as new building operations are commenced. There seems little prospect of a decline in prices of white pine or spruce for future delivery, but it is still doubtful whether the increased prices which shippers are asking will be realized. As to the spruce situa- tion the Timber Trades Journal says :— ‘‘In spruce the rise has been more rapid than we anticipated, and for a large steamer cargo from Miramichi, with about the usual large percentage of sevens and eights, shippers were recently asking £7 for the usual West Coast range. We think it would have been better if the ascent from about £6 2s. 6d. had been through more graduated stages, and had taken more time in the process. While the Liverpool market is more than amply stocked, and there are fears that consign- ments during the winter may be heavy,’ for which purpose the liner services would be available, in London values have been kept down by the low prices ruling for competing shipments of whitewood from Riga. In the Bristol Channel there are still considerable portions of the earlier and cheaper cargoes unsold, and the prices obtainable for spruce in the Mid- lands are [soflow that material advances must take place before a fair profit upon the prices shippers are now asking for cargoes can become apparent.” Hard- woods are feeling the effects of a lack of demand from the cabinet trade and prices he Cook & Bros.

Musson, Son & Company’s report of December 17th gives the follow- ing information regarding the Barbados market : The fortnight under review has been barren of arrivals of white pine and spruce, in consequence of which the market shows a firmer tendency, and although there is a fair stock of second quality white pine in dealers’ yards, merchantable is being enquired for and moderate arrivals of this quality would do fairly well. Spruce is in light stock, and one or two cargoes would meet with remunerative prices, as the crop season is now approaching, when there is a good demand for this class of lumber. The steamer Dahome brought down 400 bundles of Cedar Laying Clear shingles, which were imported for a dealer, and the Blenheim from Gaspe is about due and brings a cargo of both Long and Laying, which will meet with a rather dull market, as in consequence of the drought there is not much demand, and although the stock of Long Cedar is not large it is sufficient for present requirements. Laying Cedar are still in full supply. Shooks,—The steamer Dahome brought All kinds of SAWN LUMBER By Carload or Cargo. Registered Cable Address, ‘' Pinewood,’’’ ;\\American.Lumberman” Telecode.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAR.) St. JoHN, N.B., December 31st, 1904.— Since last writing very little of importance has taken place in the local lumber mar- ket. Shipments of all kinds have been light during the past month, shipments by schooner to New England ports, but not more so than usual at this time of year. The lack of stimulus which always accompanies the holidays is very noticeable in both the American and Eng- lish markets, Very little is being done by any of the local firms in either of these directions, either in selling or delivering. While the quiet season lasts in the Eng- lish market any change in price is improb- able, as there is not enough demand to cause an advance and offerings are so light that the probabilities of a drop are practically void. On account of these conditions any at- tempt to use the prevailing figures as an indication of what will prevail in the Eng- lish markets in the near future would be ill-advised. Just what conditions will be predominant when the winter lethargy has been dispelled from this market it is not possible to positively state. A decidedly optimistic feeling is prevalent among the manufacturers and dealers in these parts. They are looking forward to next season, particularly confident that it will show a great im- provement over this season in prices and demand. In regard to prices of English deals, it would be searcely correct to say that there has been any general advance dur- ing the last month, but it is certain that a specification containing the usual percent- ages of widths and ofan ordinary average length could not be bought, f.o.b. steamer St. John, less than $12.50 per M s.ft., two-thirds price for fourths and ends. Shipments of English deals have been quite as heavy as is usual at this time of year. Although no cargo made up entire- ly of lumber has has gone forward during that time, there were several large parcels shipped per the winter port steamers, and as there will be practically none manufac- tured in these parts for the next three months, there is no doubt that, when the time comes to resume sawing, it will find the wharves entirely cleaned up. Since last writing lath have shown a further decline. As mentioned in my let- ter of December ist, lath had dropped, following heavy receipts in New York and vicinity, from $2.35 to $2.10 per M, f.o.b. St. John. A drop of from to cents to 15 cents has now occurred, and Provincial lath can be bought at St. John for $2.00 per M. Stocks are not at all heavy for January 4, 1905 this time of the year, there being probably ‘ a years: from four and one-half to five millions of Total amount Totalamount Total amount lath distributed about the different wharves lumber lumber on unsold on F E Tae p 4 Year manufactured dock Dec. 4 dock Dec. fF in this vicinity.

WHITE PINE PRODUCTION AND STOCKS. The white pine mills at Duluth, Minn., manufactured during 1904 approximately 285,000,000 feet of lumber, this being a falling off of 104,000,000 feet when com- pared with the production in 1903. Of the entire cut the stocks on dock at Duluth and Superior towards the close of Decem- ber aggregated only 51,301,000 feet. The American Lumberman gives the following statistics of the production and stocks at the head of the lakes for the past eight THE LATH DEMAND. White pine and norway lath are exbibit- ing exceptiona) strength in value. There is an absolute shortage of this item. At the head of the lakes this condition is especially noticeable and it is commanding full list prices at all other points. The Miss- ssippi Valley Lumberm an says the situation cznnot be remedied, but is calculated to become intensified with the advance of the building season. The mills are short of this stock and they cannot increase their output within time to meet the require- ments of the demand.

ANNE POWER COMPANY The St. Anne Power Company was incor- porated in 1902, having obtained their charter from the Government of the Province of Que- bec. The principal shareholders at the time were Mr. O. W. Ordway and Mr. J. R. Loomis, jr. In 1903 Mr. Ordway purchased the shares held by Mr. Loomis and at the present time he owns the controlling interestin the company, of which he is the president and manager, while his son, Mr. Homer P. Ordway,is secretary. St. ANNE’s FALLS—194 FEET HIGH. Four of Mr. Ordway’s sons are in the em- ploy of the company holding responsible posi- tions, the other three being Henry J., super- intendent mill and shipping department ; Leon F., superintendent of camps; and Harry, bookkeeper at the company’s headquarters, where they have a general store. The company deal principally in spruce pulp wood, their principal place of business being at Beaupre, Que., situated twenty-three miles from the city of Quebec, and on the electric ey et railway line of the Quebec Railway, Light & Power Company. The facilities for shipping their wood is all that could be desired, and they ship both by water and rail. The Quebec Railway, Light and Power Company found it necessary last summer to lay a siding up to their mill. Last summer their wood was shipped mostly by canal boats. These boats come directly to the company’s dock at Beaupre and are loaded there by means ofa conveyor. Cars are also loaded in this way, as it requires very few men to handle wood in this manner. The cost of loading is by no means high. The River St. Anne flows into the River St. Lawrence, and the St. Anne Power Company would give twelve thousand horse power. At the present time the company have under con- sideration the putting in of a plant for electric light, etc. The limits leased by the company are exten- sive, comprising three hundred square miles well timbered and watered and easy rivers to The headqnarters of their operations are twelve miles from Beaupre, and they are lumbering at present a short distance from there. The other camps are but a few miles apart. They employ in the woods about two hundred and fifty men, besides mill hands, teamsters, etc., at Beaupre, where the head office is situated. drive. The company have fifteen thousand cords of HEADQUARTERS OF THE ST. ANNE POWER COMPANY. have purchased considerable property on both sides of the River St. Anne beginning at Beaupre and extending as far up the river as was necessary to enable them to develop the falls and at the same time to build a large dam. We show a picture of the dam built by the company two years ago. The site chosen for same is one mile from Beaupre. They have two other dams of a smaller size further up the river which are used to advantage while driving - the logs to the large dam. There is always sufficient water during the summer to enable them to drive the logs from the dam to the mill to be sawed. We also show a picture of the St. Anne’s falls (on the St. Anne river), owned by the company. Engineers who have examined these alls state that if they were developed they spruce pulpwood for sale for next year’s delivery. Mr. O. W. Ordway has been connected with the business ever since he was a boy, having lumbered for a number of years in the Hudson river and inthe Adirondacks. His home was in West Stoney Creek, he only coming to Beaupre with his family four years ag9. The Camas Lumber Company, of Cash- mere, B. C., will operate the yards and mill there formerly owned by the old Halferty- Gilman Lumber Company, which was organ- ized in March, 1903, by L. C. Halferty and Walter E. Gilman. Last spring the old com- pany installed a plant for the manufacture of fruit boxes. Walter E. Gilman is the general manager. GENERAL ViEW oF Dam OF THE ST.

Begin with the hand mill and line. bottom wheel with track, no lead either way ; then put top wheel in line with bottom, no crossline or overhang. The face of the wheels should have a very slight and true crown from edge to edge. This done, begin with saws and see that they are straight, no long or short back. Begin in the extreme center of blade and open them just enough to fit nicely over the crown _ of wheels and have them hug the wheel the hardest,or with the most strain,at the extreme _ edges of the face, with a gradual decrease in strain from each edge toward the center. This done, put saw on top of bench and level on inside of same that part of the saw which is lying on leveling slab, by going over it with straight edge, reaching across full width of saw, and level it down so that the most light shows under straight edge in center of blade (where tension is deepest), with a gradual decrease toward the edges, until you come to the tires, which should not show any light under the straight-edge. After this again go over this section with straight-edge, first on one edge of saw, then on the other, by holding straight-edge saw two-thirds of the way across the blade, looking Mr. O. W.

In like manner go over the entire inside of saw, after which put itdown on the bench “‘ on the bottom ” and go over the outside of saw in the same manner as with the inside, always bearing in mind how much light showed under the straight-edge when you were leveling the inside and trying to equalize same when leveling the outside of saw, being especially careful to have no light show under straight- edge on either side of saw from where the tension terminates at the edges. If you are not satisfied that you have the saw sufficiently level to insure its doing good work after going over each side, repeat the operation until you are satisfied? 64 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN THE LATE JOHN BERTRAM. One of the foremost men of Canada was called away in the person of Mr. John Bertram, of whose death brief mention was made in the December issue. He was a man identified with various important industries, a’ man of unusual business ability, high integrity and As President of the Collins President of the sterling qualities. Inlet Lumber Company, Bertram Engine Works Company, and Chair- © man of the Dominion Transportation Commis- sion, and in 1897 a member of the Ontario Forestry Commission, he occupied a public and private position which it will be most diffi- cult to fill. It has been truthfully said that Canada could better have spared almost any other citizen. ; Mr. Bertram was born in Scotland on Octo- ber 16th, 1837, and left Edinburgh for Canada in 1860, settling in Peterboro, Ont. He had already learned the business of storekeeping at a little shop in Galashiels, and in 1867 he started a hardware store in Peterboro,. which he conducted until 1878. Removing to Tor- onto, he continued in the hardware business, taking up the wholesale trade as well, and re- tained an interest therein up to the time of his death. It was as a lumberman, however, that Mr. For twenty-five years he has been prominently identified with that industry. under the name of the Collins Inlet Lumber Bertram was best known.

In late years he was a strong advocate of the principle of utilizing to the best possible advantage not only the pine tim- ber, but also the hardwoods and hemlock which are to be found on what are commonly regarded as pine limits. Mr. Bertram did not desire that the know- ledge of forestry which he had attained through diligent research and careful observa- Tue LATE JOHN BERTRAM. tion should be applied for private gain alone ; he preferred that the public should benefit thereby. This result was accomplished when, in 1897, he was appointed a member of the Ontario Forestry Commission to report on the subject. of restoring and preserving the growth of white pine and other timber trees upon lands in the province which are not adapted for agricultural purposes or for settlement. The recommendations made by this Commis- sion were adopted by the Government and a large area of land was added to the forest re- serves.

JANUARY, 1905 of the Canadian Forestry Association and the author of several masterly papers on forestry subjects. It is said that Mr. Bertram was the author of the suggestion ultimately adopted by the Ontario Legislature which prohibited the ex- portation of saw logs from the Province, a law which has been of great benefit to West- ern Ontario. By the death of his brother in 1900, the services of Mr. John Bertram became essen- tial in the management of the large business of the Bertram Engine Works Company. In this connection he, in January, 1902, ad- dressed a letter to the Minister of Customs ad- vocating greater encouragement for Canadian steel ship builders, who had to face British competition in an industry where the condi- tions were not at all equal. Mr. Bertram’s last field of public usefulness was as Chairman of the Dominion Transpor- tation Commission. His appointment to this position was announced on October 27, 1903. For this work Mr. Bertram’s lengthy experi- ence in business and as a large shipper was specially valuable. Under his chairmanship the Commission had collected much informa- tion, but ill health cut short the tour he was making of Canada in June last. Though often urged to enter public life, Mr. Bertram’s political career was confined to a seat in the House of Commons from 1872 to 1878 as a supporter of the late Alexander Mackenzie. He possessed in a marked de- gree the gift of statesmanship, but preferred to exercise it outside of the Parliamentary arena. Nevertheless, he exerted much influ- ence on public affairs with little ostentation and was the valued friend and adviser of men in both public and private life. Mr. Bertram was an active member of the Unitarian church. He married Miss Helen Shields, who came out from Scotland and who, with seven children, survive him. His sons are: Hugh, of Peterboro ; Robert, vice-presi- dent of the Bertram Engine Works Company ; John A., lumber inspector of Little Current ; and Melville, vice-president of the Collins In- let Lumber Company.

A BUSY PLANT. Our representative recently took a look in at the works of the Dodge Manufacturing Company at Tor- onto Junction, and was shown over the big plant by the _ works manager. The bright and well equipped offices, with every modern labor saving and systematizing device, each department in charge of an expert, also the well appointed Engineering Department, where’ m countless drawers and cabinets full of all kinds of; drawings all so well arranged within a great fireproof | vault, seemed to offer an explanation of the busy scene which prevailed throughout the shops. y In the pattern shop a large staff of pattern makers were busy on all kinds of special work, next to this came the pattern stores, a fireproof building complete ~ in every detail which goes to make upa modern pattern stores department. The way in which this department is laid out, with its streets and numbers and aisles, all covered by a complete directory, and in charge of a man who knows every one of the ten thousand pieces as well as one knows his own hat, was indeed a revela™ tion. Next we went to the foundry, where we saw great quantities of all kinds of castings being made, large wheels weighing as much as ten and twelve tons each, a great quantity of large special castings for the city, columns, gasoline engines, elevator castings and allmanner of castings. The Dodge Company’s foundry has earned the reputation of producing good castings _ of any size or kind. The cupola capacity is at present _ fifteen tons per hour. The ease with which everything heavy is handled in this shop by the travelling cranes and other labor saving devices was remarkable. We -_ mext came to the blacksmith shop and the castings _ cleaning shop, which has recently been remodelled to meet the increasing business. Everything seemed most complete and arranged so that the handling was reduced to the minimum. We then went to the immense machine shops, where great iron-working tools of all descriptions were —___ oceupeid on all classes of iron work. Some of the large ___ machines, especially the sixteen-foot boring and turning mill, seemed to cut the iron off as though it»were cheese. _ Every department seemed to be piled up with work, and when asked where it all went to, the manager replied to all points from one end of the Dominion to the other. Lots of big work for Nova Scotia, also for _ British Columbia, as well as for all the other provinces, is being continually goiten out in these shops. The ; three motor, fifteen ton travelling crane and the indus- trial railway system makes it easy for the men to handle heavy work. The modern machine shop office with its complete system, including an expert cost accountant’s department, the model tool room with all the latest _ appliances, the complete lavatories and dining rooms — for the workmen, all gave evidence of the success which has crowned the efforts of the Dodge Manufacturing Company. _ We next went to the castings stores building, which _ like the pattern stores seemed to be a model of ingenu- oa y, a system of streets and numbers and a complete _ directory, all in charge of a man who seemed to have _ every piece of casting, no matter how small, at his __ finger ends, and knew just where to Jay his hand on it. _ From this department all castings are delivered to the machine shop on requisition only, this being a part of a . ¢ 4 TORON FO most complete works’ system which seems to prevail throughout the entire establishment. Next we found our way to the steel storage house, where we saw over two hundred tons of steel shafting in both finished and rough state, some as small as 7/16 in. in diameter and some as large as 8% in. in diameter. The ease with which the heaviest bars could be handled was most interesting. We then reached the wood pulley factory, where the celebrated ‘‘Dodge” wood split pulley is made. The immense quantities of parts going through made us wonder what became of all the wood pulleys, and we were surprised to hear that the shop had to run over- time almost continuously in order to keep the stock up to standard strength. The explanation was that Great Britain and the colonies are fast being educated up to the wood pulley idea, and their orders are con- tinuously increasing. We saw one order for over 4,000 pulleys being crated for Liverpool, and others for New Zealand and Australia. The complete power house, electrical plant, dry kilns, immense lumber yard, all gave evidence of a grand organization. We were told that the employees were welllooked after. Most of the men have been with them for several years and there seems no discord. The Dodge Manufacturing Com- pany enjoy the distinction of being the only company in the Dominion who devote themselves altogether to the manufacture of power transmission machinery, and their plant is well worth a visit. The plant covers over six acres, and upwards of three hundred men are employed. PUBLICATIONS. The Long-Knight Lumber Company, of Indiana- polis, Ind., have favored their customers and friends with an artistic callendar for 1905. It is a reminder that they carry a large stock of hardwoods and make a speciality of quartered white and red oak, plain oak, ash and cypress. The latest catalogue received from the Wm. Hamil- ton Manufacturing Company, of Peterboro, Ont., is entitled ‘“‘ Improved Shingle Mill Machinery.” Most of the machines illustrated are well-known to shingle manufacturers, having gained a reputation for dura- bility and simplicity of operation and having given ex- cellent results wherever used. Users of dry kilns will be interested in the latest catalogue issued by Sheldon & Sheldon, of Galt, Ont., which points out the salient features of their natural draft moist air dry kiln. Although this kiln has been on the market for only three years, they are in use in many plants throughout the Dominion and have been found to be economical and efficient. The American Wovodworking Machinery Company, 136 Liberty street, New York, have issued an attrac- tive pamphlet referring to the sander, a machine which séven years ago was known to very few. The first Milwaukee sander was built by them in 1894 and con- tained an automatic device for taking up the slack in the paper while the drum was in motion, a feature which gave the machine a decided preference over all others. It was so extensively used as to necessitate the introdnction three years later of the present Columbia sander, a heavier machine embodying many new features. One of these is an entirely new method tor gripping and clamping the ends of the paper in the drum as well as to securely fasten the drum coverings. The American Woodworking Machinery Company will send one of their pamphlets to any person interested. The B. Greening Wire Company, of Hamilton, Ont., have again favored us with their annual callendar. The design has been slightly changed owing to the ad- dition to their buildings, which now occupy halfa block on both sides of Queen street, between Peter and Na- pier street, in addition to an office and store room building on the corner of Queen and Napier street. This company are also issuing a series of catalogues, the first to reach us being devoted to wire cloth and perforated metal. It is perhaps the most complete and convenient catalogue of the kind which has come to our notice. The mesh in wire cloth is measured from the centre to centre of wire, which frequently leads to confusion owing to customers and others measuring between the wires. For this reason the company publish on page 21 an illustration with rule on it showing how cloth should be measured, and on page 10 an illustration showing how screening is measured —one from the centre to centre of wire—the other in the clear or between the wires. In perforated metals illustrations are given of the exact size of the dies, be- sides the trade number and measurement of the holes. Any reader wishing a copy of this catalogue will re- ceive it for the asking. er SS GOOD HUNTING HERE.

For the last two years the United States Bureau of Forestry has been co-operating with the American Telephone and Telegraph Com- pany, and recently with the Postal Telegraph- Cable Company also, in an experimental study to increase the durability of telegraph and tele- phone poles. The length of service of a telegraph or tele- phone pole is determined ina section of the pole not more than a foot ora foot and a halt long. Ina standing pole this section extends about six or eight inches above and below the top of the ground. This is the universal point of attack upon the life of the pole, and is called its breaking point. Decay is the arch- enemy of these poles. It sets in at the ground line and reaches both up and down the pole, but only so far as the conditions exist which promote the growth of wood-destroying fungi. A few inches below the ground there is lack of the necessary oxgyen and heat, while at about the same distance above ground the requisite moisture fails. The exact time at which de- cay begins its work depends upon the climate, the character of the soil, and similar condi- tions. In a hot, moist climate it ordinarily sets in with great rapidity. But at best, ina very few years after the pole is set the struggle Mershon 9 Band y 5 ae | ay Sy CO Se Ne Yh PAT.

IN DAILY USE BUY DIRECT AND GET GENUINE H 8, ERSHON Mich., -- has commenced. The decay soon girdles the pole and gradually eats into it deeper and deeper until it is so weakened that it breaks under the weight of its equipment. The strain upon the pole from wind pressure and the weight of its cross-arms and wires is calculated for the ground line. When the diameter of this ground line is constantly decreased, the strength of the pole is propor- tionately reduced, and it becomes only a ques- tion of time when the pole must fall. Chest- nut and white cedar have been found, among available woods, most successfully to resist decay ; but the life of the former is only from twelve to fifteen years, and of the latter ten to twelve years. The cooperative study of the Bureau is fur the purpose of extending, if possible, this time. The experiments already made by the Bureau show conclusively that poles can be subjected 10 a preservative treatment which insures materially lengthened service. The treatment consists in impregnating the wood with antisep- tics which prevent the growth of the fungi that The treatment of telegraph poles, when attempted at all in this country, generally has been applied to the whole pole, requiring the use of air-tight cylinders 100 feet long or more. In these the poles are sub- jected to live steam for some time, when a vacuum is created. Creosote is then run in and pressure applied to force it into the wood. Manifestly this is alaborious process. Yet for cause decay. Resaws. ot oh | — THE — : a.) JANUARY, 1905 telegraph and telephone poles only about 1 foot of the entire length needs to be made immune from fungus. If this foot at the fatal ground line can be preserved from decay, the rest of the pole will take care of itself. Experiments will now be made in treating the butts of the poles for a distance of about 8 feet, thus carry- ing the antiseptics just beyond the zone of decay attack. The creosote method will be used and dead oil of coal tar forced through the butt of the pole. | THE AMERICAN FOREST CONGRESS.

The cut shown above represents a desirable construction which forms the subject of a Patent issued to L. C. Van Duzer, adapted to facilitate the drying of Clay pro- ducts and lumber, &c., by means of heated air. The furnace is located at the end where the green Lumber enters the kiln, and is enclosed inside of the air furnace, where the cold air is admitted. The air passes around the furnace into several conduits and is conducted to the end of the kiln where the dry stock is removed. The Rari- FIED air passes through the green material absorbing the moisture, and then passes out through the air stack. The perfect circulation of the RARIFIED air is-a superior ad- vantage in drying Lumber, and is the reason that the Clay Dry Kiln is superior to all others. It is guaranteed to perfectly season Pine Lumber in 52 hours.

We made an average of sixty thousand the past season, and if we had had a sawyer who understood his business would have cut much more. I heartily recommend the Tandem. J. A. GILLis, Manager.

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

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 conygyor throughout the mill, live rolls, trimmers, 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.

C 0., Limited Builders of a Complete Line of SAW MILL MACHINERY STEAM TENSION | BAND MILL FOR SINGLE OR DOUBLE CUTTING | Before the introduction of the Steam Tension Mill, it had been the universal custom to maintain the strain on the saw by the use of some system of levers and weights. — 4 Sp Oo epee eS > See oe It is well-known that the action of a weight--especially one as heavy as must be used in the tension mechanism of a band mill--is neces- ~ sarily slow on account of its inertia. Every practical mill man _ will admit that, in order to get the best results in sawing, the tension de- vice should be very sensitive and capable of responding instantly | to the varying demands of the work. A\s it is manifestly impos- sible for any form of weight tension ae to meet these requirements, we have ~ substituted for the weight a direct acting steam cylinder, so arranged that the strain on the saw can be varied at will from 3,500 pounds up to any required amount. It will be evident to anyone familiar with the use of steam that the action of this saw straining device must be instantaneous, and consequently the saw will always be kept in proper tension to do its best work.

INVENTOR OF “READY-MADE” HOUSES. Ideas and executive ability are qualities which will bring any man to the top among the many who are engaged in his particular calling. Generally the two are associated with capacity for work, and the man with these " possessions almost invariably has the common- _ sense to thoroughly learn every detail of his business so that he may understand any point which may arise at’ any time. With a well- grounded knowledge he can deal intelligently with questions when they come up, and is all the more able to devise some way out of the difficulties which at all times present themselves. Such a man is not only of use to the company with which he may be employed, but he is also of benefit to the industry with which he is connected. He is not long at the bot- tom, as individual worth is soon recognized and he is given an opportunity to climb the ladder of success. When Mr. Edwin C. Mahony first engaged with the British Columbia Mills, Timber and _ Trading Company, the largest lumber manu- facturers in British Columbia and one of the most extensive establishments of its kind on the Pacific Coast, he took-a situation at the New Westminster branch of the company as laborer. Not that he had had no experience in the lumber business, for prior to his coming to British Columbia he had been engaged, _ from 1886 to 1889, with the firm of Flatt & Bradley, who were then operating a general saw mill business at Casselman, Ontario, near the city of Ottawa, as well as in the State of f Michigan, and were also largely interested in the square timber export trade. He learned ~ considerable about the industry as it is conduct- a ed in the east, but when he.came west in April -. _ of 1890 he discovered that different methods ‘ obtained. Timber was larger, conditions were different, and there being little or no market or ‘use for anything except the regular stock sizes of lumber, all the by-product was consigned to the mill waste fire. It was not long before Mr. Mahony was made tallyman, and the yard fore- manship followed. He had ideas of his own in regard to the piling of dimension stuff in the yard, and adopted a system of alleys between each width and the piling of various lengths separately. This permits the loading of trucks > and delivery wagons without extra handling, Bf such an arrangement being of great conven- fence, especially when the stock lengths run from 10 to 32 feet as they dohere. This work brought him to the notice of the officials of the company and in less than a year and a half he was transferred to the head offices at the Hast- given charge of the inauguration of the local ings mill branch in Vancouver, where he was © ae CANADA LUMB ERMAN TORONTO, MONTREAL, WINNIPEG, FEBRUARY, 1905 TERMS, $1.00 PER YEAR Single Copies, 10 Cents and car trade. At that time Vancouver was just beginning to assume size, and previously the local trade had not been catered to at this mill, it having engaged only in the export ship- Since then the B.C. Mills, Timber and Trading Company’s local business and car trade to the east has so developed that it is by far the largest in the province. On November ist, 1901, he was promoted to the management of the Royal City Mills, Vancouver, one of the branch establishments of the company, and it is from this office that From being one ment. the local trade is conducted. Mr. E. C. Manony, Vancouver, B. C. of the biggest risks of insurance companies, this mill and yard now holds the record of hav- ing the best rating of any plant of its kind in British Columbia, indication of the ability of the man in charge. It was about this time that Mr. Mahony first took into consideration the utilization of the by-product of the mill, which has eventually developed into the construction of ‘‘ready- another made” houses, specimens of which elicited such favorable comment when displayed this year at the exhibitions at Winnipeg and New West- minster. The manufacture of these is now about to form one of the features of the busi- ness of the B. C. Mills, Timber and Trading Company. The construction of these houses was not thought out ina day. Starting with the idea of making some use of the large amount of odd stock, development gradually progressed, until after a very considerable amount of experimenting it has been brought to a success which is beyond the original ex- pectations of the inventor and the company. The handsome catalogue about to be issued shows what the evolution of Mr. Mahony’s idea has amounted to, and which is a surprise to builders. Many of the houses have been erected in Vancouver and vicinity, and the numerous orders constantly being received from provincial, Canadian and foreign points indicate that they are meeting a universal want, and are giving entire satisfaction. The subject of this article was born in Ham- ilton, Ontario, on December 14th, 1864, his parents being Mr. and Mrs. John C. Mahony. He is descended from good old United Empire Loyalist stock, and on his mother’s side is con- nected with the Gage family, known throughout the Niagara After attending the public and high schools of Ham- ilton, young Mahony took a course at the On- well peninsula. tario Agricultural College, graduating in 1882. Until 1886 he farmed on the Peter Gage home- stead, four miles east of Hamilton and within two miles of the battlefield of Stoney Creek, famous in Canadian history. After that he took his first lessons in the lumber industry. Mr. Mahony was married to Miss Clara, only daughter of Mr. Nathaniel Hill, of Smith- _ ville, near Grimbsy, and has two daughters. He is a staunch Mason, being member of the Blue, Royal Arch and the Commandery. NEW WOODENWARE FACTORY. The incorporation of the Keenan Wooden- ware Manufacturing Company, Limited, has been announced. The promoters of this com- pany are the Keenan Brothers, of Owen Sound, who represent the entire capital of $100,000. Some time ago the well-known lumber firm of Keenan Bros. purchased the business of the Parkhill Basket Company at Owen Sound, and the incorporation of a new company means the extension of this business to include the manu- facture of many descriptions of woodenware. With that end in view, new buildings are be- ing erected, the first of these being a stave mill 30x30 feet and two storeys high. Con-- nected with this by an elevated tramway is a tower dry kiln 16x60 feet and 20 feet high, with 16 compartments which can be. operated separately and in which the staves from the mill can be dumped from the trucks with the minimum of handling. The engine and blowers will be installed in a separate brick engine which will also contain an_ electric lighting plant. To the north of these build- ings another kiln has been erected, of the horizontal type, 50x60 feet, and divided into three compartments lengthwise—one each for basket stock, pail and tub bottoms and lum- ber, room, 5 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN ee Hel ; y , * " ‘ in . Turning now to production, we find that the cut of the Georgian Bay mills was lighter than in 1903. Our figures show a reduction of 45,000,000 feet, but it should be explained that _ the actual decrease was somewhat greater, as two or three mills from which reports were not received in 1903 are included in this year’s estimate.

The cut of the Ottawa Valley manufacturers — ‘did not vary much from the previous year. The new mill of Fraser & Company was operated only for a portion of 1903, which accounts for the increase shown last year. The tendency i is to curtail operations owing to high cost of logging — and of transporting the timber to the mills. The Ottawa Valley production in 1901 was 611,- 000,000 feet ; 1902, 608,000,000 feet ; 1903, 562,000,000 feet ; 1904, 565,800,000 feet.

Supply. 47,935 BircH.—The export of this wood continues to diminish from Quebec owing to reduced supply, the most accessible wood having been cut away, and the less accessible requiring prices that are not yet obtainable to induce manufacture. 196,240 Spruce Dearts.—The export from Quebec and the lower St. Lawrence has been restricted by absence of demand and the inadequate prices obtainable. The cost of production has ma- terially increased owing to advanced cost of lobor, enhanced value of. limits, and other causes. The demand in the United States for spruce boards being good at fair prices, the tendency is for Canadian mills to send their production very largely in that direction. Supply. 1904.... 3,927,270 1903.--- 4,919,710 Pine Deas. —The ruling prices in the United Kingdom, especially in the third and fourth qualities, have materially declined instead of meeting the ten per cent. advance paid by shippers for past season’s production. Ottawa mill owners can readily obtain from United States markets figures at least equivalent to those paid for deals. It is clear business can- not continue as an export one under present conditions. Export. 39319, 121.. Sawn LumBer.—The demand for the United States has been good at fair prices, and in spruce the Canadian mills have cut boards for that market in preference to deals for export in many instances. FREIGHTS.—Business has been almost entire- ly by liners during the season, and rates have varied little, having been fairly steady at 30s. Liverpool, 35s. Glasgow, with for London 32s. 6d. for steamer’s dock, 35s., for Millwall and 37s. 6d. for Surrey Commercial Docks. Que- bec rates for timber ruled at 57s. 6d. to 6os. for leading ports, with higher rates for surplus hardwood. THE MARITIME PROVINCES. With few exceptions, the lumber manufac- turers of the Maritime Provinces report an unprofitable year. This can be attributed largely to the unsatisfactory condition of the British market. Early anticipations of a good season were soon dispelled by advices from across the water that transactions could not be closed at the prices which shippers were asking, and after some resistance the Canadian spruce market broke in sympathy with the low prices which had been established in England. At the opening of the year a specification of St. John deals, 50 per cent. 3x7 and 8, and 50 per cent. 3xg and up, was worth £7 12s. per standard of 1980 feet, or about $19 per thous- and feet. This price was not again reached during the year, although in the month of May there was a recovery to about £7 per standard. The low price of the season was 4,6, which was the ruling figure during August, but to- wards the close of the year a better feeling pre- vailed abroad and prices hardened to the extent of fifteen shillings. The United States market was steady throughout almost the entire year, although prior to the Presidential election there was a lull in the demand and a temporary weakening of prices. Shipments to the United States — were probably as great as in the previous year. _ The only complete statistics are for the port of St. John, the firgures which follow being fur- nished by the U. S. Consulate-General : LumMBeR Exports FROM ST. JOHN, N.B., To UNITED STATES, 1903 AND 1904.

The demand for New Brunswick shingles was unusually light owing partly to severe competition from red cedars, which were sold at very low prices. The aver- age price of Extra white cedars was about ~ $3.25 for Boston delivery, although sales were made below this figure. One year ago the price was $3.40. The total quantity of lumber exported foun the province of New Brunswck to countries other than the United States is placed at approximately 358,000,000 feet, a decrease of 30,000,000 feet as compared with the previous year. This showing is not altogether unsatis- factory. The St. John shipments fell off but very little. Reference to the table of distribu- tion shows that the exports to Liverpool de- clined 5,000,000 feet, whereas those to Man- chester increased nearly 6,000,000 feet. There © was a heavy falling off in the quantity of lum- ber exported to Australia. | THE CANADA LUMBERM, SHIPMENTS FROM NEW BRUNSWICK By PorTSs, 1903 AND 1904. 1903. 1904. Port Sup. feet. Sup. feet.

The mills in the western part of the province cut almost exclusively for these markets and were operated to their full capacity. Prices were good, but the margin of profit was kept down by the excessive cost of production and the large quantity of lumber that was sent forward during the latter part of the year. The export of lumber from Nova Scotia to Europe also is known to have been quite large.

BRITISH COLUMBIA. Depression characterized the lumber and shingle business of British Columbia through- out the entire year. The unfavorable conditions which existed are well known to the trade generally. A large number of new mills were built in the year 1903, largely in anticipation of supplying the demands of the Northwest. The mill capacity soon became greater than the absorbing power of the market and overpro- duction followed, the situation being further aggravated by large importations of low grade American lumber. Many of the Canadian manufacturers closed down their mills rather than operate them and sell the lumber at sacri- fice prices, and towards the close of the year the conditions became slightly improved, but not until some of the smaller mills had been forced into bankruptcy. The cargo shipments from British Columbia — were confined to two mills, the total for the "year showing a falling off of 20,000,000 feet. The shipments to South Africa show a very striking decline, being nearly 19,000,000 feet less than the previous year. The exports to the United Kingdom declined 100 per cent., while there was an increased volume of trade with Australia and South America. — Statistics of the export trade are given below : CARGO SHIPMENTS OF LUMBER FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA IN 1904.

The num- ber of enquiries regarding the new cut which are being received by the manufac- turers is very encouraging and an evi- dence that dealers are disposed to pur- chase stock. This is further empasized by one or two important contracts which have recently been closed. Business can. be done whenever the manufacturer is willing to accept the prices of the early winter, but in some quarters advances have been made, causing buyers to look around in other directions in the hope of ——————— ee ee II CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION finding lumber which hasnot beenbrought into line with the increase. Nevertheless, those who are asking higher prices be- lieve that there is strong ground for their position and that the developments of the spring will be favorable to the holder of lumber. The report comes from Otiawa that despite the slight decrease in the cost of log preduction, the Ottawa Valley mill men will hold out for last season's prices. Hardwoods are firmly held and the buying movement shows some im- provement. The supp'y of hardwoods, however, is likely to prove equal to the demand and no important change in price is anticipated in the near future. The de- velopments in the lath market are being watched with considerable interest. A wholesale firm in Western Ontario have been heavy buyers of late and now contrel a considerable percentage of the available supply. The suggestion of a corner, how- ever, is not considered seriously. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. There is as yet very little activity in lumber circles throughout Western Canada, bnt many are confident that the present year will witness some recovery from the luw prices which have prevailed. There is certain to be a large consump- tion of lumber, timber and ties in connec- tion with railway extension and improve- ments undertaken by the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern Railway, and while building in Winnipeg may not be as active as during the past year, there is reason to believe that a large quantity of lumber will be required tor that purpose. The present low price of lumber should stimulate consumptior. The statement has been published that the Mountain Lumber Manutacturers’ Association pro- pose to establish retail yards throughout the Northwest, but we shall defer a dis- cussion of this question until more definite information as to the intention of the manufacturers is to hand. UNITED STATES. Climatic conditions in the United States have been opposed to any increase in the movement of lumber and nothing more than a normal trade has been done. The demand from the country districts is light, but this is attributed largely to the diffi- culty of handling Jumber at this season of the year. The demand from this quarter will make itself felt upon the first sign of spring and a heavy trade is anticipated. Inguiry is active and there are no weak spots in the white pine market. The in- creased stocks in Minnesota are confined chiefly to small mills in the interior and will be consumed without perceptible effect upon prices. Low grade boards have lost none of their recent strength, while the better quality of pine is exhibit- ing a stronger tone than for some months past. Itis stated that mill culls sold in Duluth last week at $14 and scoots at $9.25. Spruce is maintaining its strength and some manufacturers have declared their intention of holding their stock at an advance of 50 cents per thousand. Hem- lock was. never in better_position. Among the hardwoods, maple, birch and elm are selling freely, while basswood lags be- hind both in price and demand. There bas been a sharp advance in lath at Chicago, the current prices being $4 to $4.25 for No. 1 white pine and $3.50 to $3.75 for No. 1 mixed. Spruce Jath have been but little affected by the strength in white pine, as they continue to sell in Boston at $3.40 for 1 5-8 inch and $3.15 for 134 inch. GREAT BRITAIN. The year has opened with a much im- proved outlook for lumber in Great Brit- ain. As we have previously stated, stocks at London and Liverpool are unusually light and the consumption is showing signs of being considerably larger than last year, the shipbuilding and other con- suming industries being in a more pros- perous condition. There are still some influences against any substantial im- provement, but these, it is hoped, will be removed before the importing season has been reached. So far as can be learned, British importers have not yet contracted for their regular supply of Canadian pine and spruce, but we believe they are pre- pared to admit that more favorable terms could have been obtained in December than at the present time, for the improve- ment in the United States market has en- couraged our manufacturers to hold out for firm prices for British specifications. The present tendency of prices on this side of the water is upward, and if British importers want our lumber they must be prepared to meet the American competi- tion. It is understood that the railways in Great Britain are likely to consume a considerable quantity of oak this year, and the outlook is favorable for higher prices for that timber. THE BARBADOS MARKET. The following report of the Barbados lumber market is furnished by Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company: “The arrivals of lumber have been as follows: Schooner Laura C, from Liver- pool, N. S., with 286,000 ft. white pine, principally second quality; E. A. Post, from Tusket Wedge, N.S., 184,000 ft. white pine, spruce and hemlock; Leah A. Whidden, from Halifax, N. S., 205,000 ft. white pine and hemlock. Of the above the Laura C, failing to obtain an offer, went onto Demerara. The white pine ex E. A. Post was sold at $25.76 mer- chantable, $19.56 second quality and shipping spruce at $22.26. The cargo of the Leah A. Whidden was sold at $24.50 merchantable, $18.50 second quality, and $19 for hemlock. The Briardene, from Halifax, also had 53,000 ft. spruce and hemlock, for which $22.08 was obtained for former and $19 for latter description. Our market is now heavily stocked with white pine, especially second quality, as late cargoes have consisted principally of ‘this, and we were fortunate in placing a cargo to arrive shortly, which was repre- sented as really good, and consisted of 145,000 ft. merchantable and 35,000 ft. second quality, at $26.00 and $21.00 re- spectively. There are reports of other vessels on the way here, and we fear that prices may decline somewhat. Spruce is not in heavy stock, but with cheap white pinein their yards, we expect deal- ers will not show much anxiety to buy. No arrivals of shingles to note, and it is reported that the schooners Calderwood he Cook & Bros. Lumber Co. Of Ontario, Limited MILLS = scoters Algoma ered **Soo”? Branch C.P.R.

Stocks of these, however, are ample to meet the demand, which is very slack. Some sawn Cypress ex.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION February 1, 1905 ee ee ee NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) St. Joun, N.B., January gist, 1905.— The lack of life in all branches of the lum- ber industry is still the predominant feature as regards this part of the country. The coming season is attracting the attention of the local lumbermen to a much greater extent than the small transactions of the present month, The stocks of English deals on the local wharves are decreasing slowly but surely. Several shipments, ranging in quantity from 25 to 125 standards, have gone for- ward since January ist by the liners which make this port their winter terminus. The sum-total of all holdings of English at this port would range from 7,500,000 sup. feet to 8,500,000 feet, the latter figure being the outside estimate. The much greater part, in fact practically all, of this quantity has been secured and is now held by lecal commission houses. It is probable that the bulk will not be put upon the market before the end of three months, and not then if the indications apparent at that time warrant the holding of it still longer. As far as can be learned (and this quot- ing the best local authorities), the volume of business in the English market is so small that the prevalent prices could scarcely be named as general nor yet as indicative of what figures will prevail a month hence. But it is conceded on all sides that at the present moment all con- ditions tend to an improvement with the resumption of trade; the dealers on the other side of the water are carrying small stocks, the prospects point to an excellent business in the building line and shippers seem to be in no haste to put their goods upon the market. In the United States the prospect for New Brunswick spruce deals seems parti- cularly good. Here, too, stocks are very light and arrivals few and the indications point to a boom in building. For boards and scantling the outlook in this direction is not so bright. Last sea- son business in these lines was very dull, the demand deing at all times small when the supply is considered. At this stage there is no sign of improvement that could be called unmistakable. While the receipts from New Brunswick of this line of goods in the United States market have been very light during the last four months, prices have not rallied nor is it considered that there is any prospect of their doing so in the immediate future. The price of spruce lath continues to fluctuate, Since last writing there has been an improvement of 25 cents per M. New Brunswick product lath are now quoted at $2.10 and American at $2.35 per M. f.o.b. St. John. BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAR.) VANCOUVER, B. C., January 23rd, 1905. —Prices of logs are very firm and an ad- vance is looked for within the next month or two. It means that the corner attempted by Mr. J. S. Emerson has been sucessful. Several months ago when depression existed in the logging industry, Mr. Emer- son quietly went to work and bought up as much of the available supply as was possible. The mills were closing down because of slow demand, and to make the usual repairs, and having logs on hand they didnot augment their supply. Lately some of the mills have started again, and spring orders are beginning to come in, with the result that logsare wanted. The price goes as high as $7.50 at present, and will probably continue at top-notch figures until nearly June. It is expected there will be an increase of about $1 during the next 30 or 60 days, and another rise after that. Then the price will be the highest ever known in British Columbia. There will be considerable disappoint- ment if no duty is placed on lumber enter- ing Canada from the United States, for in anticipation of this action of the Dominion Government, allthe mills are preparing for a big cut during the coming summer. Particularly in the interior, large amounts of logs are being taken out, and the mill- men there confidently hope that the limited Canadian market will be reserved for Canadians. Settlers in the Territories will get their lumber cheaper this year than ever before. The move anticipated a couple of months ago of the whole of the lumber manufacturers of this province withdrawing from the Western Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associatoin, has been taken, and the western mills will establish depot yards in the Territories. Thus lumber will be sold to the consumer direct, and the profit of the middleman willbe saved. If no duty is placed on lumber, there is no use denying that condi- tions will be serious. ‘‘ If the Government does not grant protection, it may not be improbable that there will bea price war,” a well knownlumberman said, ‘for the retailers will be supplied by American mills, and the lumber manu‘acturers of Canada will have their ownyards. Every effort, though, will be made to stave this off.” Mr, John Hendry, president of the B.C.

As seen from our illustration, it stands on a river, the Harri- son river, just above its confluence with the great and mighty Fraser. The scenery around is not only interesting but matchless, the great river flowing between vertical walls of black rock, while towering away in the distance are the snow-clad peaks of the mighty Sierras. | ie — —— plating erecting a large saw mill and going into the manufacture of clear cedar, confident that with such a product to offer the consumer success cannot but await them in the under- taking. The mill has been running since 1898, for- merly under the name of Fulbrook & Innes. Three years ago it was burned down, the new company being organized to rebuild the pre- sent mill arising on the old site. Both the president,” Mr. L. Neville Smith, and the secretary and treasurer, Mr. A. Neville Smith, are successful,men in the trade MILL OF THE CHILLIWACK SHINGLE MANUFACTURING COMPANY, CHILLIWACK, B. C. The site occupied covers twenty-one acres, the main building of the mill being 80 feet long by 60 feet broad. It possesses an equipment of four Dunbar machines, one shingle block power feed and various hand machines. The boiler house, separated a few feet away, is equipped with too horse power capacity in boilers and 60 horse power in engines. There are two dry kilns, 120 x 34 feet, ship- ping sheds and warehouses and over 4o0 feet of siding along the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. : The company are the owners of over 10,000 SAMPLE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA CEDAR. “acres of some of the finest cedar in the pro- Vince just a few miles away from the mill, along the shores of Harrison Lake. With such a magnificent asset to draw upon, and the fact that they put the entire output into shingles, coupled with the possession of all the auxiliary equipment and machinery necessary for the manufacture of a first-class shingle, one can readily understand how it is that the pro- duct, 100,000 per day of ten hours, is market- ed all through the Territories, Manitoba and eastern points. So excellent, indeed, is their cedar that the company are seriously contem- and highly respected citizens of the small but rising town of Chilliwack near by. THE EMPIRE LUMBER COMPANY. The above company’s property, consisting Of a saw, planing and lath mill, is beauti- fully situated right in the centre of the rising divisional town of Revelstoke. Close by flows the mighty Columbia, just a mile or so below, passing the property of the Revelstoke on Arrow Lake, from the Harbor Lumber Company, which just. one year before had bought the property from the Fred Robinson Lumber Company. The mill is equipped with all the machinery and specialties of a first-class plant, the ma- chinery being supplied by M. Garland & Com- pany, of Bay City, Michigan. The planing mill is equipped with five planers, siding resaw and rip saw, while a long chain transfer car- ries the lumber from the saw mill to the planers. An unusual feature in the working of the mill is seen in the use of a cable conveyor for carrying the refuse 540 feet from the mill to the fire dump. The manager of the mill states that he finds it superior to the chain conveyor, as it requires less power and is not so often in need of repairs. Two boilers 72” x 18’ of 140 H. P., and two engines of 250 H. P., supply the driving power, while an electric motor and engine furnish light to the mill. The ca- pacity is 50,000 feet a day, all of this being shipped via the C. P. R. to the Territories and Manitoba. The mill at Comaplix is almost an exact duplicate of the one at Revelstoke except that the planing mill is run by water power and all the slabs and refuse are carried away by sluce boxes and used in building piling grounds on the shores of Arrow Lake. It has a capacity of 60,000 feet per day, all being marketed in the Northwest. As the mill stands away from the railway, the company have built six car barges, 34 x 125 feet, to carry the lumber to Arrowhead. These barges are drawn by their owntug boat. They also run a freight and passenger boat from Arrowhead into Comaplix and Beaton, making two trips a day. Both Mr. C. H. Johnson, the manager, and Mr. R. S. Butler, are Americans hailing from Minnesota. FURNITURE CITY KNIFE GRINDER: ““It was just what somebody wanted,” is, the only apology that the Furniture City. Tool Company, of Grand Rapids, Mich., has to offer for the existenee of KNIFE GRINDER MADE BY THE FURNITURE City Toot Company, GRAND Rapips, MiIcH.. Lumber Company, while all around are the snow clad peaks of the Selkirk mountains. It is from Revelstoke during the summer months that the C. P. R. attach an observation car specially designed to allow unbroken view of the wonderful mountain scenery. The company was organized on March 16th, 1904, purchasing the mill at Revelstoke and one at Comaplix, seven miles from Arrowhead their popular knife grinder, which is shown herewith. They claim no original idea in its construction, and limit its practical use to the ginding of machine knives. by the factory man who is willing to use ordinary good judgment, and wishes to keep his knives in good order at a nominal cost. As may be seen by the illustration, the machine is built very substantially, and all parts, are adjustable to meet necessary demands, Parties in~ terested are invited by the CANADA LUMBERMAN to write the manufacturers for information about this ma= chine. a a oe LP ee ; aT ee fully tempered. e age ar ban” a Zh A FA vee int ig’ ibe x0, n ub “THE CANADA. Lum B as Gites VV holesale Grocers THE HANCHETT BAND SWAGE SHAPER. Expert saw filers are coming more and more to use the .swage shaper or pressure side file for side dressing purposes. This is especially true of band resaws, until now a ‘swage shaper is consid- ered indispensable for fitting them. The side dressing of band resaw and gang saws has much to do with the successful cutting of good, straight smooth lumber. The Hanchett band swage shaper is claimed to com- plete the work of the saw swage and press every tooth toa perfect shape—widest on the face, widest at the extreme points, thus making a perfect clearance. This is accomplished by a pair of hardened tool steel dies, one upon each side of the tooth, which presses it to any desired gauge. The dies are accurately ground and bevelled in two ways so as to taper the saw tooth down- ward from the point, and backward from the face. The dies are set in plugs which are forced together by a screw running through them having a right hand thread on one end anda left hand thread on the other end. BAND SWAGE SHAPER MANUFACTURED BY THE GORDON . HoLttow BLAst GRATE Co, The dies may be easily removed from the plugs by a punch and reground at any time by the filer. The swage shaper makes every tooth exactly alike, hence every tooth must do the same amount of werk. This suggests aneasy running saw, Smoother and better lumber and requiring less power. sa The Hanchett band swage shaper is an effecient pressure side dresser and is noted for its great speed and ease of operation, the excellent work which it does, simplicity of construction, perfect adjustment and its durability. These swage shapers are made of the best material it is possible to procure. The head is made from a solid piece of steel, hence no slipping and loosen- ing of bolts and nuts. It is bored accurately to accom- modate the easy working of the plugs, which are also made of a fine grade of steel. The dies and tooth stop are made of the best grade of tool steel and are care- The levers and other parts are made of malleable iron and steel and are nicely polished and nickle plated. They are compact, solid, and strong. _ They are not complicated ; while they have all neces- sary attachments they have no unnecessary ones. The FOR THY CAM.

You who are not getting suited just as well as you would like, try us . your next order, and give us a chance to demonstrate our ability to give you faction in this very important department of your business, ECKARDT & CO... a slotted circle with which the dies are attached to the shaping lever is a very handy arrangement. - The opera- tor can adjust the shaping lever to, whatever position is the most convenient for him, or if he wishes to change the spreading of the dies he may do so even to a’ hair's | breadth without changing the position.of the lever: The arms to which the forks are attached keeps the shaper from tipping upward or backw ard, while the forks keep the shaper in lineon the saw, and areadjusted easily | and perfectly by theknurled nuts. The shaping is done by one lever, the other handle; being put on’ merely for convenience in operating. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the whole machine is the tooth guide or stop. This little device keeps the teeth from striking on the side of the shaper or the dies as they pass by. . The adjustment is measured from the point of the tooth, hence it makes each tooth exactly the same shape no matter what the irregularity of spacing, pitch, etc. The Hanchett swage shapers will dress from 60 to 75 teeth per minute as commonly used by filers. It would pay all those interested in such a tool to write to the manufacturers, The Hanchett Swage Works, Big Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A. They are always glad to send their tools out on approval.

The American which took Forest Congress, Dic= week in January, proved to be, as was expected, place at Washington, during the first important meeting held on the interest of-forestry. the most ever American continent in the At each of the eight separate sessions the aver- age attendance was one thousand, including in addition to persons actively engaged in forest work, representatives from the lumbering, rail- road, mining and irrigation interests. The Canadian delegates were as follows : Dr. Robert Bell and Prof. J. M. Macoun,Geo- logical Survey, Ottawa ; Aubrey White, Deputy Lands, Toronto ; Commissioner of Crown Thomas Southworth, Director of Forestry, Toronto ; E. Stewart, Dominion Superintend- Ottawa; R. H. Campbell, Secretary Canadian Forestry Association, Ottawa ; Dr. J. F. Clark, Forester for Ontario C. Y. Chown, Queen’s University, Kingston; Dr. James Fletcher, Ottawa ; Prof. J. H. Faull, Toronto University, Norman ent of Forestry, Government, Toronto : Toronto ; A. T. Drummond, Toronto ; M. Ross, Dominion Forest Service, Ottawa. Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Agricul- ture, presided, and after delivering an interest- ing address, called for the report ot the direc- tors of the American Forestry Association. The report referred to the steady and rapid progress which commercial forestry is making in consequence of the growing recognition by lumbermen that conservative lumbering offers definite business advantages, to which, as busi- ness men, they must give careful consideration, the day being rapidly approaching whenthe fail- ure to practice forestry will mean for many of them the extinction oftheir business. The Bureau has received applications from land owners, who desire to secure the best results from their forest holdings, covering a total area of eight million acres, and now has under its manage- ment 20,000 acres in wood lots and 500,000 In addition, plans have been prepared by the Bureau for acres of timber tracts. working 823,000 acres and are now in preparation for an area aggregating 3,578,514 acres. The forest reserves of the United States are given as 63,348,656 acres, eleven new reserves hav- ing been created since June 30, 1903. Forest rangers are shown to have extinguished during the past year 231 fires which had passed the incipient stage. The annual membership of the Association at the close of 1904 was 2,199. Mr. of Crown Lands for Ontario, was called upon Aubrey White, Deputy Commissioner for an impromptu address, and described in an interesting manner the different systems in vogue for the management of the Crown for- ests in Canada. He mentioned that Ontario alone had set apart some 7,000,000 acres as a forest reserve and there was on these lands to his knowledge 10,000,000,000 feet of white pine, constituting one of the most valuable as- sets any province or state could have. The session devoted to ‘‘ The Lumbering In- dustry and the Forests” was one of the most interesting of the meeting. Mr. M. C. Moore, Secretary of the National Slack Cooperage Manufacturers’ Association, read a paper on ‘“The Importance of Forestry to the Wood- and Mr. George W. Hotch- kiss spoke on ‘‘ The Lumber Dealers’ in Forest Preservation.”” Other papers dealt with ‘‘ Lumber Statistics” ; ‘‘Cooperage and its Relation to Forestry” ; ‘‘Changed Atti- tude of Lumbermen on Forestry working Industry,” Interest 7S -ande:* Paci fic Coast Forests and Lumbering as Differing from Other Forests.”’ On Wednesday evening, January 4, the del- egates and their friends attended a delightful reception given in their honor by Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Pinchot and their son, Mr. Gifford Pin- chot, Forester of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. At the special session on Thursday there was an attendance of more than two thousand persons, the attraction be- ing an address by President Roosevelt on ‘‘The Forest in the Life of a Nation.”” There were presented in all upwards of thirty papers, many of which had a direct bearing upon lumbering. The Congress adopted a number of import- ant resolutions, the text of some of which are given below : Resolved, that we urge upon Congress and_upon_all legislative bodies the necessity at all times of giving full protection to the forests of the country and of pre- serving them through wise and beneficent laws, so that they may contribute in the most complete manner to the continued prosperity of the country. that we authorities the enactment and enforcement of laws for Resolved, earnestly commend to all state the protection of the forests from fire, and for reducing the burden of taxation on lands held for forest repro- duction in order that persons and corporations may be induced to put in practice the principles of forest con- servation. Resolved, that the law which prohibits the export of forest reserve timber from the state in which it is grown should be repealed as to the states in which the export of such timber is in the public interest, and in no others. Resolved, that we favor the passage of a law which will authorize the sale of all non-mineral products of the forest reserves, the proceeds of such sales to be applied to their management and protection, and the construction of roads and trails within the forest reserves. Resolved, that this Congress urge upon all schools, and especially the rural schools, the necessity for a study of forests and tree-planting in their effect upon the general well-being of the nation, and in particular upon the wealth and happiness of communities through the modification of local climate ; and that we urge all state legislatures to provide laws and financial aid to consolidate the rural schools in units sufficiently large that forestry, agriculture, and home economics may be successfully taught by precept, work. Resolved, example. and practical that this Congress recommends the in- crease of opportunities for general forest education in schools and colleges, and for professional training in post-graduate schools ; and approves the movement to extend and systematize industrial education in the in- terest of a more general distribution of the population on the land. Resolved, that the Congress of the United States be asked to appropriate adequate sums for the promotion of forest education and forest experimental work in the agricultural colleges and experiment stations of the United States ; provided, however, such appropriations be made directly to state forestry departments, bureaus, or commissions, where existing, to be used in their respective states as may seem best for forestry educational purposes. Resolved, that we protest against the attempt to re- duce the area of the Minnesota National Forest Re- serve and against any step which would enhance the difficulty of the perpetuation of the forests upon it. Resolved, that this Congress urges tree-planting and the preservation of shade trees along public highways throughout America. Resolved, that it is the sense of this Congress that the National Homestead Law should be amended so as to require the planting of at least 5 per cent. of the area of a homestead before final title be acquired, and that the tree planting be under, the supervision of the Bureau of Forestry.

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 inthis 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 long as you compound your cylinder oils and have them as good as samples I shall use no other, 3 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, James TATE, Chief Engineer Holland & Graves Lumber Co. Byng Inlet, Ontario.

Knowing some such mark you will always dis- iminate 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- LE NCY and absolute SUPERIORITY in Saws. ‘IF IT’S SILVER STEEL IT’S AN ATKINS.” Look tor our trade mark.

It has been running steadily five-months each sawing season of 1903 and 1904 and has given us no ttouble whatever. We drive with it a large rotary, lath mill, patent haulsup, complete sawdust conveyor throughout the mill, live rolls, trimmers, 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.

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.

One of the largest manufacturing concerns in Western Canada is the Rat Portage Lumber Company, which was organized in the year 1896 to take over the properties of the Ontario and Western Lumber Company, which was a combination of the Western Lumber Company, the Minnesota and Ontario Lumber Company, the Safety Bay Lumber Company, Cameron & Kennedy and Ross, Hall & Brown. The company commenced operations with a capital of $500,000, but have expanded the amount of business originally done to such vast propor- tions that to-day the capital invested amounts to the sum of $2,000,000. They own mills at Rat Portage, Norman and Rainy River in Ontario, Winnipeg, Mani- toba, and Vancouver and Harrison River, B.C. The eight mills operated by this company have a com- bined capacity of over one hundred and twenty five mil- lion feet annually and con- Stitute one of the largest lumbering plants in Canada. The Rat Portage mill is 182x56 feet, with a wing 48 x35 feet, and boiler house 48x46 feet, containing seven boilers and one 30x48 Cor- liss engine. The engine has a 24x30 inch cylinder, which is equipped with Crow’s Nest condensers, enabling the water to be pumped back into the boilers at a temperature of 200 degrees. The mill is equipped with one Prescott double cutting band, manufactured by the Wm. Hamilton Manufacturing Company, of Peterboro, one Waterous band single cutting 4o inch Wickes gang, driven by 14x16 engine, and two edgers, _one being very heavy and from the Diamond Iron Works, of Minneapolis. The log deck is equipped with steam kickers, loaders and niggers, the carriages being worked bya 10 inch steam feed. The planing mill and sash, door and box factory, which were unfortunately burned down last summer,are being”rebuilt ona very elabor- ate scale. The planing mill and box factory are to occupy a two-story building 132 by 56 feet. McGregor,Gourlay & Company, of Galt,are supplying all the machinery for the equipment, which consists of dimension planer, three matchers, double surfacer,moulder, band resaw and rip saws, all for the planing mill. In the box factory there w’ll be two surfacers, four sets of rip and cut off saws, two box board matchers, band re-saw, railing machine, three turning lathes, block and spindle machines. The power house of the planing mill is to be of solid stone with iron roof 50x48 feet. It will contain four boilers and a 20x24 engine, also a complete electric light plant. The company manufacture at Rat Portage about 175,000 feet of lumber in ten hours, consisting chiefly of white and red pine. The Norman mill is situated one and one- half miles west of Rat Portage. It is 200x50 feet, with a wing 25x4o feet, and is equipped with an Allis telescopic double cutting band mill manufactured by the Waterous Engine Works Company, of Brantford, one rotary and Rat PortaGE LuMBER COMPANY—SAW MILL AT Rat PORTAGE. one 38 inch gang saw. The carriages are operated by a 9x11 inch steam feed, and the band saw by a 16x20 inch cylinder engine. The main engine has a cylinder 24x30 inch. - There is also a battery of eight boilers. The planing mill in connection is 32x70 feet, and the warehouse 24x40. The equipment in- cludes a dimension planer, matchers, sticker, and a 55 inch Connell & Dengler re-saw operated by a separate engine. The dry kiln in this department was supplied by the A. R. Williams Machinery Company, of Toronto. It is 130x20 feet and can handle 12,000 feet per day. The mill has a capacity of 175,000 feet of lumber per day. There is a tie mill in connection, with a capacity of 4,500 ties in ten hours. The Rainy River mill is situated at the town of Rainy River, close by where the Canadian Northern Railroad crosses the Beaudette bridge on its way from Minnesota into New surfacer, three Ontario. It stands ona site of 15 acres and is equipped with a double cutting band saw, twin circular and gang. It has a capacity of 125,000 feet. Mr. Donald Robertson, who has been in the employ of the company a num- ber of years, is in charge. The Winnipeg mill is situated at Norwood, a suburb of that rising city. It is equipped with a double cutting band and gang edger and has a capacity of 65,000 feet in ten hours. The planing mill attached has two matchers, sur- facer, moulder and band re-saw. The com- pany also have a large wholesale warehouse on Higgins avenue, Winnipeg, and one in Brandon for handling the western trade. In and around the Rainy River country both in Minnesota and Ontario the company own immense limits of white and red pine, it being estimated by the directors that enough on hand to supply them for the next twenty-five years without further pur- chases. The logs are cut and floated down the rivers and lakes to Rainy River and Rat Portage, but unfortun- ately for the Winnipeg mill they have to be carried there by the Canadian Northern Railway, and some difficulty has been experienced in secur- ing logs on account of the railroad’s lack of rolling stock. Before touching upon the British Columbia mills, it may be mentioned that the town of Rat Portage depends almost entirely on the Rat Portage Lumber Company for its means of sustenance. It isa town of 5,000 people situated at the principal outlet of the Lake of the Woods. From it all the product of the company’s mills are shipped via the C.P.R. to the prairies. The Lake of the Woods is the largest body of water touched by the C.P.R. from Vancouver to Port Arthur. It is studded with islands and is a favorite resort for sportsmen and pleasure seekers. The mill of the Rat Portage Lumber Com- pany at Harrison River was completed last summer. It occupies a site of 26 acres on the site of the old mill of the Harrison River Mill- ing and Trading Company, and consist of a saw mill, shingle mill, planing mill and sash and door factory. The saw mill is 308 feet long by 66 feet wide, with a wing attached 4ox120 feet. It is equipped with gang and band saws. they have - = eee aerate kee FE DG, Ain 32 ee PE OMS pe EC Tee i4 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN The double cutter installed will handle both round timber and cants. 120,000 feet per day and the shingle mill 100,000 shingles a day. On March 15th, 1903, the Rat Portage Lum- ber Company bought the saw and shingle mills of W. L.

It has a capacity of its manufactured products, they purchased along the coast over 6,000 acres of fir, cedar and spruce. They are now endeavoring to make a specialty of hardwood shipments and building materials. The main building is 60 x 200 feet, the boiler house, constructed of non-conbustible materials, being attached to it. The planing mill is 50 x 120 feet, and is equipped with five planers Rat PorRTAGE LUMBER Co.—SKIDDING GaAncG, McLeEop’s Camp, SEINE RIVER. The property when bought had a capacity of 40,000 feet of lumber and 50,000 shingles a day of ten hours, but with the installation of new machinery the lumber mill output has been increased to 80,000 feet a day. Among the improvements is a double cutting band, the first to be in British Columbia. It was manufactured: by the McDonough Company, of Euclaire, Wis. An automatic trimmer has been installed by the same firm, a clash table by the Allis Chalmers Company, a new boiler of ‘100 h. p. and a blower for the planers by the W. Thompson Company,of Vancouver. installed In the mill yard an being situated at right angles to the mill. The officers of the Rat Portage Lumber Company are: D. C.

Monk and Wm. Robertson. , WOODEN TIE-PLATES FOR RAILWAYS. Upon the advice of the U.S. Bureau of Forestry, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad eight months ago began to experi- ment with wooden tie-plates. These plates The Santa Fe placed cypress tie-plates one- quarter of an inch thick on several thousand | old and much-worn cypress ties laid in its track north of Galveston, Tex. Aftér eight months of constant use the plates are perfectly sound and show practically not a trace of wear. The Bureau of Forestry will now make simi- > lar experiments with red gum, red oak and beech tie-plates, which will be placed in the tracks of the St. Louis and San Francisco, t dee Burlington, and the Northern Pacific systems. = —— % NEW TIMBER LAND COMPANY. There has recently been incorporated a stock company under the laws of the Dominion, un-— der the title of the McLennan Timber Lands & — Lumber Company, Limited, the purpose and — business of which is the purchase and sale ° Canadian timber lands. This new company is_ the out-growth of a business carried on for the — last two or three years by John McLennan, of " the City of Quebec, and whose business is taken over by the company. tae Mr. McLennan has carried on a very suc- cessful business in the purchase and sale of Canadian timber lands, and the new company te cs Loap art GRAHAM & Horne’s Camp, Rainy RIVER.—101 Logs. will continue under his management. They have already established a branch office at No. 9 Central Chambers, Ottawa, and continue their headquarters at the City of Quebec.

The company is capitalized at $50,000, prac- tically all of the shares being held by its present officers, There is at the present time a ready sale for Canadian timber lands among the American lumbermen and_ paper manufacturers, and through the wide acquaintance of Mr. Mc- Lennan in the United States, it is safe to assume that a large amount of American capital and enterprise will be brought into Canada through the agency of this company, for which we predict success. . on = A gg” . eh i re a FS ETE AGS VERSA WA MARCH, 19¢5 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 15 ANNUAL MEETING OF ONTARIO LUMBERMEN’S ASSOCIATION The annual meeting of the Lumbermen’s Association of Ontario was held in the Council Chamber of the Board of Trade Building, Tor- onto, on Monday, February 6th, the president, Mr. W.

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

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

Mention the reference number and the Commercial Agent in each case. Leaving Toronto, I went direct to St. Thomas, and I was pleased to see the town so full» alive and pro- gressive. It certainly boasts of wide-awake lumbermen and up-to-date planing mills. The new planing mill _ belonging to Harry Lindop is one of the best I have ever seen and is the result of years of experience learning what a modern planing mill should be. The ob uilding is composed of concrete cement blocks right up to the roof, with a magnificent driveway through At e centre of the building. The latter has a frontage _ of 9 feet and a depth of 110 feet, to which another ddition of 30x60 feet is to be added. Despite the Sack that -Mr. Lindop has had two or three disasters : (the last of which was a complete. burn-out last May), _he has proven equal to the task, and his modern establishment speaks for itself. I should call Harry _ Lindop a young old man of the progressive type. In _ taking me through the building he spoke modestly of _ his disasters and of how he arose again each time with renewed energy for the work. 75-horse power ‘engine provides the motive power a some of the latest improved machinery. Harry has a mill in the Parry Sound district which supplies him with his lumber, and he very kindly gave me a photo showing himself inspecting a log ‘‘ dump” at his mill. = Among the lumbermen who are now importing _ extensively the southern yellow pine is J. M. Green & Sons, Limited, of St. Thomas. They were among the first Canadians to bring this lumber into Canada. Young Mr. Green, who escorted me through their - _ establishment, i is a young lumberman of brilliant ideas and isthe active manager. He states that they are using more hemlock for building purposes than ever before. I was _particularly struck with the excellent _ manner in which their dry kiln, storage sheds, and the interior of the planing mill was laid out. The latter _ building i is of brick, three stories high, with a tramway - for bringing the lumber to be dressed directly to the machinery. I have been in some planing mills where men had to carry boards over piles of saw-dust and heaps of shavings to get them to the planer. Here I a _ found a clear space around the machines in this mill, «= driveway extending from the street through the of the building to the lumber sheds and lofts. planer is on one side of this driveway, and the her on the other, which saves a lot of handling. mong the most progressive citizens of St. Thomas arlatt & Smith, the yard men, who handle all kin of lumber and building material ; and Balsden & Blewett, who not only operate a planing mill, but are actors and builders of local repute. This latter m make sash, doors, blinds, cisterns and flooring, g their material from Sarnia and Tonawanda. handle considerable hemlock and B. C. shingles. nders & Powers, of St. Thomas, are also importers ow pine and wholesale dealers in all kinds of THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 17 lumber, doing a splendid trade. Hemlock altogether for bill stuff and gives satisfaction. On my way to Detroit I met Mr. James Little, of the Rat Portage Lumber Company, and formerly of Barrie, Ont., who was on his way back to Rat Portage with his wife and daughter. Mr. Little has not only been an experienced lumber camp superintendent, but a foreman of river drives, and has a store of knowledge. Twenty-eight years of lum- bering has left him still a young man. I had met down in Nova Scotia a lumberman who had told me that hemlock existed wherever white pine grows. When I got over in Minnesota and Iowa last year I was con- vinced that while hemlock was plentiful on the east bank of the Mississippi, to the west of the river it was practically non-existent. While in Northern Wiscon- is used sin I saw great forests of hemlock, but west of the St. Croix river, in Minnesota, there was not a tree.. Mr. Little verified this by saying he had seen no hemlock in upper New Ontario or in Northern Minnesota. I asked Mr. Little what his experience was with the “lumber jack.” He szid the day of the hardy French- Canadian was over. The ‘“‘ Canuck” always has been the typical “‘ lumber jack.” He worked hard, thrived on pork and beans, spent his money with ‘the com- pany" and could be relied on to come back for the next season. Next to the Canadians come the Swedes and Norwegians. They are good workers, but spend little of their wages, saving to get a start at some- thing else. While the method of feeding the woods- men has improved, the work done is not as good as in the palmy days of 1880—just a quarter of a century ago. Indians and half-breeds, Mr. Little says, make good river drivers, but cannot be depended on after the 25th of June or when they get their treaty money. Af- ter the 1st of July they go on the hunt, also fishing or berrying. They are, however, good at contract work, cutting ties, etc. From St. Thomas to Detroit I took the Pere Mar- quette Railway. This company have become the great central route since they absorbed the Lake Erie & Detroit River Railway and the C. H. & D. Rail- way. The original Pere Marquette was a logging road, It is to-day one of the best equipped and fore- They are bound, with their magnifi- cent equipment and great lake ferries, to secure in- creasing business with lumber- men. most of railways. In Detroit several lumbermen told me of their sympathy for Mr. Horace A. Ross, of the C. W. Restrick Lumber Company, whose beautiful six-year-old boy had both his legs cut off in a railway crossing accident. The poor little fellow was running home from school when he met with the sad accident. The American Column Com- pany, of Battle Creek, are con- templating entering the Cana- field with their colonial They only cater to dian columns. the highest class business, turn- ing out fine products for the architects and builders. At Kalamazoo J had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Shep-— ardson, the genial manager of the W. E. Hill Company, whose famous saw-mill machinery is well known all over the continent. Their output is of the high-grade order. Mr. Shepardson is an old Hoo-Hoo and knows how to welcome a visiting black cat. The Battle Creek and Kalamazoo reported fairly good business for January and all looked forward to a banner season this year. A pleasant run to Beloit, Wisconsin, showed the city to be progressing. I visited the Mathison Machine Works, the Berlin Machine Works and the Dowd Knite Works. These progressive and up-to-date concerns are shipping to all parts of the world. When I struck Minneapolis for the Northwestern Lumbermen’s Convention, the city had already been lumbermen struck byaterrific blizzard which gave the lumber-jacks a touch of 30 below zero weather. Over two thousand lumbermen with five or six thousand visitors thronged the great Convention Hall daily to hear the speakers and see the exhibits. Prac- tically the whole north-western territory was repre- sented, consisting of the States of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, and the two Dakotas. The convention is the largest of its kind held in the United States. I was cordially welcomed and given space on the main floor for an exhibit of Canada’s lumber journal. These north-western lumbermen are about the most self-reliant, good-natured fellows I ever met. Here and there were pioneer dealers—men who had carved W. G. HOLtits, Secretary Northwestern Lumbermen's Association, Minneapolis, their way into the forest when it was a wilderness, Mayor Jones welcomed the boys. The Cypress Manu- facturers’ Association of Louisiana sent C. H. Cross to represent them. A. S. Osborn, of Oshkosh, represented the North-western Hemlock Association, Harry Collins the Pacific Coast Dealers’ Association, and H. S. Gilkey held up the North-western Cedarmen’s Associa- tion. President Barry, of Iowa, opened the convention and Secretary W. G. Hollis, of Minneapolis, read the annual reports. J. E. Rhodes, of the Mississippi Valley Lumberman, spoke on ‘‘ White Pine,’ whilst N. W. McLeod extolled the virtues of ‘‘ Yellow Pine.” The various divisions of the lumber industry had a fine display in the exhibit rooms, many of the World’s Fair exhibits being placed on view. The whole made one of the most elaborate displays ever seen. To Secretary Hollis (who was re-elected) is due great credit for the whole affair. He had a splendid staff of assistants. We all attended the Lyceum Theatre, kicked: up “high-jinks’’ generally, had a flash-light photo taken at midnight, chased the kittens at the Hoo-Hoo concatenation till we were tired, and (as Mayor Jones promised us) we were not molested. I came upon the train to Winnipeg with a number of the Northern Minnesota and North Dakota retailers. They all report a splendid outlook for this season. IT DOES THE BUSINESS. As anexample of the satisfactory returns derived from advertising in the CANADA LUMBERMAN, we quote as follows from a letter just to hand: ‘On January 22nd and 23rd we wrote you to cancel our ad. in your paper (Wanted, a man to sell lumber and_ shingles). We are still receiving letters about the matter, which are a bother to us, and if the ad. has not been cancel- led kindly have it attended to.” Publication of this ad. ceased on January goth, but on February 16th, the date of the above letter, replies were still coming in.

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

Lembcke & Co., 128 Water St., New York, who are the representatives of Huelsberg & Co., of Charlottenburg, Ger- many, the owners of the patents taken out by Mr. Rueping. In the new Rueping process the seasoned wood is subjected for about half an hour to one _ hour to an air pressure of 60 to 65 pounds, so that all cells must be filled with compressed air. This is the principal difference between the old and the new method ; with the former the air is removed from the wood cells by a vacuum, whereas with the latter the wood is filled with compressed air. Without reducing the pressure in the im- pregnating cylinder, the warmed impregnating fluid is then forced from the tar reservoir into the impregnating cylinder by means of a some- what higher pressure, say of about 65 to 75 pounds. In proportion to the quantity of tar entering the impregnating cylinder, air is per- mitted to escape through a valve, in order to make room. for an equivalent volume of im- pregnating fluid. At the same time it must be borne in mind to allow only such a quantity of air to escape as cannot impair the maintenance of the pressure of 60 to 65 pounds. When the wood in the cylinder is completely covered with the impregnating fluid the pressure, ac- cording to the dimensions and qualities of the material, is to be increased to 105 to 225 pounds, Under this increased pressure the impregnating fluid will penetrate into the cells of the wood. It might appear that through the forcible advance of the fluid the compressed air con- tained in the wood would be forced to the interior and there form a kind of cushion or piston which would render an*impregnation of this sort impossible. But, owing to the high pressure, the tar-oil, in consequence of the capillary action of wood and its adhesive prop- erties, moves along the cell walls into the innermost parts of the wood, soaking them en- tirely, by which the compressed air contained in the cells will be still more compressed and at the same time entirely kept in suspension and inclosed by the advancing tar oil. When the material is sufficiently impregnated the pressure with great energy, through its expansion, will force as much of the impreg- nating fluid out of the wood as does not adhere to the cell walls, and this surplus is thus made to flow back into the creosote tank. This is the distinctive feature of the Rueping process. Accordingly, no more fluid can remain in the wood than is necessary for impregnating, coat- ing or saturating the cell walls, etc., and this is the only important object in view for the preservation of wood. In each case the pres- sure can be regulated in such a way that only a minimum quantity of fluid (or larger quan- tities, as required) remain in the cells of the impregnated wood. The oozing of the super- fluous tar-oil may be increased and accelerated by exposing the impregnated wood to a vacuum for some time. By this means a further quan- tity of from 5 to 10 per cent. of the impregnat- ing fluid left in the wood may be regained. The Columbia River Lumber Company, Golden, B. C., are installing an electric light plant in their mill, 2. Se aed. \Wrood-Worke and Reta NEW DIRECTORS OF THE WESTERN RETAIL LUMBERMAN'S ASSOCIATION. Mr. J. R.

Slagle Company in Alton, Iowa, where he rose to the managership of that department and later went on the road as auditor for the same com- pany. Mr. Lincoln tells a story of his first day in the lumber business. He was employed un- loading some posts. On going home that night his father enquired how he had got along. ‘‘Well, I’ve been pretty well ‘posted’ for to-day,” replied the youthful lumberman. Leaving the Slagle Company, Mr. Lincoln went to Minneapolis, where he did the buying for a large lumber company in that city. Sev- eral years later, when the Imperial Elevator Company was organized, he was sent to Win- nipeg to open business for that company in the Prairie City, which position he still occu- pies. LIKES IT.

I like your paper and hope you will make it the success it deserves,” THE CANADA LUMBERMAN ‘ Maren, 196 ace TREATING STAVES AND HEADING IN DRYING. Is there anything new in or about a stave fac- tory? New ideas or new methods are not very plentiful, nor does there seem to be a tendency toward absolutely correct practice, which would be new to everyone in some respects, and in every respect to some. Handling the waste in a crowded place is one of the problems to work out and each place has to to work out its own solution. One of the solutions seen lately is a burner on the ground. It is not always pos- sible to put up a standing burner, for they are costly, but it usually is an easy matter to put in a ground burner, as there is little else re- quired but the brick and some sort of a stack. This burner is nothing but a brick oven with the stack at the end, and the pipe from the shaving fan leads in the end at a door, at the top, and this simple arrangement burns up a vast amount of waste in a day. It is nearly full as a usual thing at night, but in an hour or so all the waste is consumed. Its simplicity is its chief feature. In handling the manufactured stock, if the | pieces of heading or the staves were turned over at the right time, which would be as soon as they show signs of turning up from exposure, they would draw back to shape and be practi- cally new. These top staves curl on account of the greater exposure to the atmosphere without the weight of other stock on them to hold them down. When stacked in the open air, the stock will curl and warp much worse than when stacked under sheds, because the exposed surface dries and contracts while the under and more covered surface remains moist and ex- panded. Turning them over reverses the pro- cess that twists them, straightens them and makes them as good as new and fit for use. At some factories, it is often noted that large lots of staves and heading are left scattered along the road, when they are being transferred from where they are made to the dryng stacks, in piles of as many as a hundred, and often a line of staves or heading is piled along near where they are to be stacked at some time, long enough, often, to have all the top pieces warped and twisted from the sun. When they are stacked, the warped pieces go in pile first, and the straight pieces on them. This splits and ruins them, in consequence of the weight of the top pieces causing these crooked pieces to straighten out. Then the top pieces of the stack warp and spoil, showing a large percent- age of loss on account of the warped pieces at the bottom or middle of the stack as well as at at the top. There are two results to be sought _the head, which approximately corresponds to a er | eee for in stacking cooperage stock for dryng :First, _ to place each piece so it will have the greatest — exposure to atmospheric action, so that the air — will circulate freely through the stack, and, as nearly as possible, touch every part of every _ piece. The next object is to hold the pieces — so that the drying process will not change the shape of them. rR To insure that staves will curve edgewise to ye conform to the circumference of the barrel, they are cut on a 10-inch radius, so that, for flour, salt or other slack barrels, they nearly fit without __ bending edgewise, inside the hoops and outside 20-inch circle. The matter of maintaining that curve is all-imporant. Any process that will tend to make the stave flat is to be avoided, therefore staves are never stacked, in a circular stack, as heading -is. - To stack staves for drying it is the usual prac- tice to begin on the foundation by laying down three staves far enough apart so that the length of a stave will cover all three, reaching the two ‘ outer edges, the thickness of a stack equaling , 4 the length of a stave. Then threeother staves are placed in a line with and lapping the ends of the three first placed, continuing to place threes until the desired length of stack has been ob-' tained, remembering always to place cut staves with the backs down and making the laps one inch. Some people double the staves, laying on two at a time, fitting together as one, always placing two instead of the single stave, the stacking being otherwise the same as for single staves. The man doing the piling can handle them more rapidly by keeping two together and many believe that staves stacked in this way will dry better and keep a better shape than when stacked singly, claiming the staves are made stronger to resist wrapping when piled in this manner. The result sought when stacking cooper stock with the ends lapped is to facilitate the passage of air between the pieces. It is also. 4a desirable to maintain the stability of the stacks, _ therefore they are ‘‘tied” together with staves at intervals of ten layers, and at each stave — ; a length one stave is placed across the stack and a the end of another stave is thrust into the pile = next, while one end lays on the pile being ~— built, in which they are firmly fastened by the _ weight of the staves above them when the — stack is complete. Each new stack being built should be started 18 inches from the last one finished. Triple stacking, as here men- tioned, is desired for staves, also for heading where economy is an item. Triple stacks of heading are much the same MABCH, 1905 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 21 as if made of staves. The stacks are broad enough for two pieces of heading to reach the edges. A large quantity of stock can be placed in a limited floor space, on account of its com- pactness, and from its steadiness the pile can be built to a great height, while the stack is materially larger in floor space. The only objection to these high stacks is in passing the stock up to such a height, or from one pile to another to reach the highest point at which the heading is to be stacked. When these stacks are to be made very high, care must be taken to start on a level foundation, strong enough to stand the weight, any giving of the bottom rendering a pile likely to fall, a result often seen from carelessness in this de- tail of the work. Asa rule, staves may be placed on the mar- ket without being perfectly dry more success- fully than can heading. For salt barrels staves from five to six weeks old are often used, if the ‘barrels are filled with salt at once, owing to the damp nature of the salt. When barrels are to be stored empty they should be made from perfectly dry staves, while flour barrels should be made from staves from 15 to 20 weeks old, if the weather has been favorable, and longer during wet weather, before the staves are jointed. Staves may be passed through a kiln and dried in a week or less, but it is doubtful if they are as good as the air-dried stock. In the kiln-dried stock, the ends are held covered by the other staves in lapping, allowing the mid- dles to cure by the action of the heat from the edge, which causes them to fall short in joint- ing, causing a greater number to be put in the No. 2 pile and in the culls. A two-piece or double stack is one in which two pieces are placed side by side on the foun- dation, then two other pieces are placed a little in advance and in line with the first two, on which they must lap. Where economy of space is not to be considered, and where the most complete exposure to the action of the atmos- phere is desirable, heading may be stacked in circular or single tier stacks, thus securing the greatest exposure obtainable. The circular stack is made by laying out a circle as large as may be desired ing. Heading placed on the circle, with each alternate piece two inches less than the length apart, will furnish the start or foundation for lapping each succeeding piece, up to an in- definite height. Heading stacked in this man- ner is securely held against warping, and has almost the entire surface protected from rain, even in the open air. The weight of the stacks has a tendency to hold the heading straight, and the slow drying of the ends goes a long way towards preventing end-checks. Circular stacking is a favorite method for tight cooperage, because heading for oil, whis- ky, vinegar and other tight packages is sawed or riven thin on the heart edge and thick on the sap edge. In rived stock the thickness at heart and sap is very great. In sawed tight heading, the difference is more regular, though indefinite, because if the machine is set to saw 5/8 inch on the heart and 1 inch on the sap at 14 inches wide, then when sawing pieces 6 or 8 inches wide it will make the thin edge thicker or the thick edge thinner, keeping the pieces with the grain, sawing a waste piece from the sap side or edge and not reaching to es with or without mark- | the heart. The thick and thin edges of tight heading make it accommodate itself nicely to a circular stack, because the thin edge is always turned inward, which, fitting and lying snugly, makes a neat and firm stack. Placing the thich edge outward gives it more exposure to the sun and air. If stacked in straight stacks the thick and thin edges would necessarily be placed alternately and only a few thick edges be exposed to the sun. The undesirable features about triple stack- ing are that the stack is thick and compact, while the usual excessive laps hinder or almost prevent the proper circulation of air round the into whose hands the business falls to decide on a line of procedure, and see to it that all the details are attended to correctly. It is as easy (and a good deal safer) to do work correctly, as it is to do it wrong, and a good deal more profitable. —Packages. LARGEST WATER WHEEL IN EXISTENCE.

Staves for tight cooper- age are often stacked edge upward across the stack. A layer is placed full length of the stack, then a string of staves placed on each end of these, on edge, full length of stack ; then more staves on edge, and so on indefi- nitely. This method has its good features, as well as those that are not so good. It exposes the ends, there being no lap to keep the end from drying. Edge stacking is desirable for beer stock, on which, being extra thick at the ends, lapping is quite objectionable. The edge-wise method is sure to put all the weight of the stock above on the broadest pieces, hence the stacks cannot be built very high, no matter how desirable it would be to-economize floor space.

Editor CanaDA LUMBERMAN : Dear Sir,—The conditions affecting insurance con- tracts in Canada may account, in a measure, for the fact that companies insuring lumber risks in Canada make no money. The record of the Lumber Mutual, for nine years completed record, shows a loss ratio to premiums of As the company pays dividends of 33% per cent., and its expense account, about one-third the 80 per cent. average of the stock companies, has been reduced to 14.17 per cent., while the total cost of our Canadian insurance is 127% percent. on the premiums, you can readily understand we cannot continue this Canadian business under any such record of its costing us 27/4 per cent. more than we get for it. Canadian companies; one or two of which are owned largely by the lumber interests and operated, presum- ably, in the interest of the lumber trade, show the same unfortunate results on their underwriting. Assess- ment after assessment has to be called on their stock- holders, as each previous assessment is used up, in order to keep their indemnity good to their policy holders. } I have noted two conditions in policies which, to my mind, have contributed in a measure to this result. First, the condition as specified ‘‘ full co-insurance ” on lumber risks. Whether it is a mill on which full co- insurance is demanded as a.condition of the contract, and the assured can recover the full value in event of a fire, or whethér it is insurance on lumber stocks, where the assured is expected to carry insurance to full value —in either case the principle is wrong, the assured’s interest in protecting the property is wanting. “ On mill insurances, we have found prevailing in the south a clause entitled the ‘‘ Three-fourths cash value clause,” reading as follows : ‘THREE-FOURTHS CASH VALUE CLAUSE. It is understood and agreed to be a condition of this insurance, that in the event of loss or damage by fire to the property insured under this policy, this company shall not be liable for an amount greater than three- fourths ef the actual cash value of each item of property insured by this policy (not exceeding the amount insured on each such item) at the time immediately preceding such loss or damage ; and in the event of additional insurance—if any is permitted thereon—then this company shall be liable for its proportion only of three-fourths of such cash value of each item insured at the time of the fire, not exceeding the amount insured on each such item.” The object of this clause is to prevent the assured collecting, in the event of a fire, over three-fourths of the cash value of each. item of the policy, and insuring as good care to prevent fires as his 25 per cent. interest in any total loss will secure. This principle should be applied to all mill insurances, and the same principle, in effect, should be applied to all lumber stock insur- ances, as will be later explained. Our second most prolific cause of loss may be the stipulation that, as to the adjustment of loss, the market values of stock shall be the basis of the adjustment of the loss. That is, the insurance companies shall pay, in the event of a loss, just as much as a sale of the property in the open market would net at the location of the fire on the date it occurs. This principle is ei7 Wadi, a balve ibm Sar mca the insurance Uncle Sam would not allow his battleships to be babbitted with inferior babbitt metal.

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

These are only illustrations of the chances the com- panies may take, except they protect themselves by proper clauses in policy contracts. I am not suggesting that a majority, or any large proportion of the lumber trade, desire these advan- tages in their policy contracts, or are dishonest in any particular. We have found the claims for losses so far presented to the Lumber Mutual so fair that, in ten years, we have never had a reference in any case, as to any loss, and never contested but one loss, but when risks are taken at rates varying anywhere from 14 per cent. to 6 per cent., it is readily understood that if only — one policy holder in twenty or one policy in sixty might take advantage of the companies in this way and have losses, that the difference would be marked as between _ a successful insurance business and an unsuccessful one. os - I think I may have explained why Canadian insurance ~ in the lumber manufacturing districts is not profitable — insurance, according to our record, and not profitable _ of 10 according to the experience of some Canadian com- panies whose records we have noted.

LOOK FOR THE MAKER’S NAME OR TRADEMARK. | In all lines of merchandise, goods which have be- come well and favorably known are often imitated and sold to the consumers with the assurance that they are ‘just as good” asthe a:ticles which bear the maker's name or trademark, while as a matter of fact such a goods are often ‘‘seconds” or goods of inferior quality, for which reason the maker will not show the name or trademark under which he has built up a valued repu- tation for quality. 5. Manufacturers usually make several grades of goods, : and are careful that their best grades shall bear their name or trademark to advertise the excellence of their products, and it follows that they are not only willing — but anxious to immediately replace any article so guaranteed to have been made by them and which may prove defective in any way. This is especially true ’ with articles usually sold by hardware stores. It isa common practice with manufacturers of these lines to dispose of their inferior grades under what is known to the trade as ‘“‘special brands,” and also to furnish such goods to buyers of large quantities, marked with the buyer’s ‘“‘private brand”; needless to add that private brand goods, bought from whichever manu- facturer will make the lowest price on a season’s quantity, carry no assurance of quality, and it be- hooves the consumer who desires quality and manufac- turer’s guarantee to see that goods bear maker's name of trademark. ; = ‘STERLING ii *, ‘STERLING’ ill os s High-Grade Saws Quick and careful work on Repairing.

JAMES McCREARY. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. There is plainly evident a disposition to buy lumber to meet near-by requirements. The hope of a decline in prices has, it ap- pears, been abandoned, and consumers are now willing t2 consider quotations which two months ago were quickly turned down. The business community generally are looking forward to a year of prosperity in all branches of industry, and under such conditions lumber prices are certain to be sustained. Over- production could easily bring about a re- action in values, but nothing approaching overproduction has occurred ; in tact, operations in the woods this winter have been unusually light, due to conditions previously mentioned. Considerable lumber is changing hands. Dealers report orders on their books to keep them busy for some time, and more business would doubtless be placed but for the uncertainty of delivery owing to snow blockades. Disputes with the rail- ways are numerous, and as these often involve increased charges, the buyer of lumber prefers to wait until conditions are more favorable for getting his stock when wanted. The first sale of square pine this season has been recorded, J. Burstall & Com- pany, of Quebec, securing the Madawaska production by Jf. R. Booth. The price is said to correspond closely to last year’s figures. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK, The lumber trade of the Eastern Prov- inces is at a very low ebb, due to the stormy weather which has been experi- enced. The railroads have been com- pletely tied up, making shipments by rail an impossibility. The deep snow has al- so interfered with logging operations, which have been abandoned in some dis- tricts. These conditions, while exerting a temporary unfavorable effect upon the market, will mean increased activity in the spring. All indications point in the direction of higher prices for both British and United States specifications. New Brunswick cedar shingles are exception- Rainy Be al wl ee ee eT a See el ee rie dal deena II CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION ae March I, L905 ally quiet and sales of Extras continue to be made at $3.20 for Boston delivery. Lath are in relatively strong demand. UNITED STATES. All the lumber producing districts of the United States have now fallen into line with the stronger tone. The Pacific Coast situation has been improved by the advance put into effect by the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, and while the advance will not average above 50 centsa thousand, it is decidedly reassuring as showing the changed attitude of the trade. Southern pine is very strong. Conditions for logging throughout the yellow pine states were unfavorable during January and February, and the mills will not have a large stock of logs, so that prices are likely to continue firm throughout the season. The strength of yellow pine is aiding the sale of white pine, which is moving in moderate volume. The largest single transaction so far this season took place last week at Duluth. Manufacturers are asking higher prices on low grade stock, the supply of which is none too plentiful. The improvement in the hardwood trade has been maintained. In Michigan prices are about $15 for maple, $18 for birch and $20 for basswood at the mill. The hard- wood production of Michigan last year showed a considerable expansion, and the fact that prices did not decline to any extent is doubtless due to an increased consumption. The supply of ash appears to be getting smaller, inch being in good demand. Birch is quite active and is being purchased in large blocks by con- suming industries. During the past two weeks there has been some accumulation of white pine lath, but up to the present prices have not weakened. Shingles are reported to be a little firmer, although prices are irregular and no general advance has taken place. GREAT BRITAIN. While conditions in Great Britain are undoubtedly on the mend, the timber trade does not appear to have realized the full benefit of the general improvement in other branches of industry. The demand is still a little slow. A revival in the _building trade would greatly strengthen the situation and induce more ready buying of lumber. Representatives of Canadian shippers are now in England, but have not been able, so far as can be learned, to close many contracts. On the other hand, however, the market is firm, and merchants holding either pine or spruce deals are disposed to wait for a further recovery in the market before dis- posing of them. At Liverpool there is a scarcity of 3x7 inch, which size is used in large quantities for new cotton mills. The price now asked is £7 a standard, whereas two months ago dealers were willing to accept £6 5s. Thelarge reduc. tion in spruce stocks generally has encour- aged the dealers to endeavor to recoup some of the losses of last year. A small stock of spruce containing 70 per cent. narrows, and the balance 9g inch and up, was recently sold at £6 17s. 6d. c.i.f. Liverpool. For pine’ higher prices are also being asked. Cox, Long & Company, of London, recently issued a stock sheet quoting some first quality pine, running up to 4 by 33 in., at £48 per standard. STOCKS AND PRICES. R. Lockhart, of Gash Point, Ont., has already cut over two million feet of logs this winter. S. O. Fisher, of Bay City, has sold ten million feet of lumber cut at Blind River, Ont., to Buffalo and Toledo parties. The British Columbia Electric Railway Company are taking tenders for the supply of eight thousand fir ties. The Inglewood Pulp & Paper Company, of Musquash, N.B., have eleven camps in Operation this winter and expect to get out about 15,000,000 feet of logs. R. R. Dobell & Company, of Quebec and London, have secured the Admiralty contract for the supply of Canadian timber and deals during 1905. This contract amounts to approximately $175,000 in value. It is estimated that the Gibson Railway & Manufacturing Company, of Marys- ville, N.B., will cut 20,000,000 feet of logs this winter. At present there is four feet of snow on the Nashwaak head- waters. The largest sale of the year of lumber to be cut in the Lake Superior district during the coming season was made last week by the Tower Lumber Company. The transfer consists of 35,000,000 feet, 90 per cent. of which is norway. The Spanish River Lumber Company are not logging on the Georgian Bay this winter. They had about five millon feet of logs held over from last year, which will be manufactured at the Spanish River mill of the Huron Lumber Company. The Crown Lands Department of New Brunswick are asking for tenders up to Wednesday, March &th, for a license to cut timber on two square miles on the Magaguadavic river at Brockway, for which Robert Vail is the applicant. The upset price is $20 per square mile. Statements issued by the secretaries of the Mississippi and Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s Associations show that during January of this year the shipments of white pine lumber were 105,000,000 feet, as compared with 79,000,000 feet for the corresponding month in 1904. It is reported that the Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing Company, of Chemainus, B.C., have secured contracts for supplying thirty million feet of lumber to points in the Northwest Territories during the present year. The Chemainus mills have on hand a large number of logs, and, with their foreign trade, will be kept busy this season. The following prices were realized at an auction sale held by Foy, Morgan & Company, London, England, on February 15th: Pine—12-16 ft. 2x 15-22 Ist quality dry, £27 15s. per standard of 1,980 ft.; 12-18 ft. 3x9 in. second quality red., £11.

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

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

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

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

A deputation of British Columbia and On- tario lumbermen waited upon Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier, Hon. Wm. Paterson and Senator Tem- pleman at Ottawa on February 7th and asked for the imposition of a duty on lumber equal to that levied by the United States. The On- tario lumbermen included: J. B. Miller, To- ronto; W. D. Lummis, Sarnia; W. B. Tin- dall, Toronto ; Jas. Playfair, Midland; W. P. Bull, Toronto ; D. L. White, Midland; R. Cook, South River; W. J. Sheppard, Wau- baushene ; Wm. Lovering, Waubaushene ; Dwight J. Turner, Midland; J. R. Booth, A. McCormick, D. Murphy, C. McCool and Jas. W. Woods, Ottawa; A. B. Gordon, Sudbury ; 23 E. J. Harrf$on, Owen Sound ; J. P. Newman, Wiarton ; J. E. Keenan, Owen Sound ; Geo. Thomson, Goderich ; R. H. Roys, Sandwich ; W. B. Maclean, Toronto ; J. C. Shook, Peter- borough ; Wm. Scott, Port Arthur ; D. C.°* Cameron, Rat Portage ; C. Beck, Penetan- guishene; George Gordon, Sturgeon Falls, and R. J. Younge, Secretary Canadian Manufac- turers’ Association. Among the British Columbia men were : T. F. Paterson, Vancouver ; J. Hendry, Vancou- ver; R. P. McLennan, Vancouver ; E. H. Heaps, Vancouver; W. Stone, Vancouver ; Hon. W. C. Wells, Victoria; R. E. Beattie and A. Leitch, Cranbrook ; F. W. Jones, Golden, and T. H. Moffat, Lethbridge. Mr. F. F. Patterson asked that a duty be imposed on lumber and shingles similar to that imposed by the United States, and submitted a list of mills in British Columbia which had been shut down on account of the unfair con- ditions which exist. He argued that the peo- ple of the Territories are able to pay the duty. They are, he said, better off than those of Brit- ish Columbia. He maintained that lumber was the one thing unprotected among the things needed by the western farmer. In concluding, Mr. remarked on the success in Vancouver of the dumping clause so far as machinery went. He would like to see the dumping clause enforced against lum- ber from the United States. Finally, he de- clared that in British Columbia and Northern Ontario there were mills enough to supply Manitoba and the Territories, and that there was no need for an increase in prices. Mr. F. W. Jones, representing the mills in the Mountain district of British Columbia, declared that there was no danger of a monopoly, and that the price of lumber would not be increased. Paterson The lumbermen were willing to enter into an agreement to that effect with the Government provided they were given the desired protection. Mr. D. C. Cameron, of the Rat Portage Lumber Company, said that his company had invested $150,000 in mills and timber limits in British Columbia, but that they could not be profitably operated under present conditions. Other speakers were J. Hendry, R. P. McLennan and W. Stone, of Vancouver, R. E. Beattie, of Cranbrook, B.C., W. P. Bull, of Toronto, C. Beck, of Penetanguishene, and F. Ballantyne, the latter representing the Cana- dian Manufacturers’ Association. The Premier replied briefly, stating that he had been impressed by their presentation of the facts, particularly by their exposition of the manner in which the lumberman was When the duty had been taken off, lumber went into the United States free of duty, but that con- dition had ceased. taxed while enjoying no protection. During the campaign he had promised an early revision of the tariff, but in the absence of the Finance Minister the matter was in abeyance. In conclusion, he exhorted them to have faith in the Govern- ment. A deputation will this week interview Hon. W.S. Fielding, Minister of Trade Finance, who has just returned from a European trip. 24 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN a THE NEWS .

Peter Bertram, manager of the Dundas Axe Works, Dundas, Ont., advises us that their ‘‘ Lumberman’s”’ axe is meeting with a large sale. This axe is made with a heavy portion of a very fine quality of axe steel. It is tempered in oil by a new process that insures an even hardness and toughness until the axe is worn out. In severe weather the frost should be drawn from the axe before commencing to chop. The Manitoba Iron Works, Limited, of Winnipeg, have under construction at the present time in their boiler shop, the largest tubular boiler that has ever been seen west of Lake Superior. It is seven feet in diameter, 18 feet long, shell 9-16ths of an inch thick, with heads 5-8ths of an inch, double butt strap joints, with eight rows of rivets and 106-4 inch tubes. The boiler is guaranteed for a working pressure of 140 lbs., and will be installed in the new sash and door factory of the Rat Portage Lumber Company.

We understand that the Syracuse Smelting Works, of Montreal, are receiving some very large orders for their ‘‘ Manganese” anti-friction metal. The new U. S. battleship ‘‘ Nebraska,” which was lately launched at Seattle, Wash., has its bearings lined with this metal, and has been pronounced satisfactory by the United States Government inspectors. ‘‘ Man- ganese” anti-friction metal has not been on the market very long, but it is having a large sale. It is specially adapted for saw mills and woodworking machinery, and several of the largest mills in Canada and the United States use it exclusively. The company are sending on application miniature bars of this metal, which can be used as a paper-weight. ATKINS ALWAYS AHEAD. We have had hundreds of examples of the rapid rise of individuals from comparative poverty to wealth through sheer force of character and application and in each instance an analysis of the process of transition reveals the fact that the result was accomplished along some one line of thought or endeavor. No more remarkable evidence of the successful de- velopment of an ‘‘ idea” can be presented than the growth that has attended the great saw manufacturing establishment of E. C. Atkins & Company, of Indian- apolis, Indiana. ‘‘ Superiority in quality " was the ’ which predominated in the production of the Atkins brand of saws from the casting of the steel ingot to the finished article, and to no other one reason can be attributed the wonderful demand for Atkins saws which comes from all parts of the world. The Atkins brand of saws may be rightly entitled to its inception away back in the 17th century when the Atkins ancestors were making saws in old England and have continued there and in this country in an un- broken line down to the present time. Thesuccess of this institution was primarily due to the mechanical genius of its founder, Mr. E. C. At- kins, who established the business in 1857, alone and without capital, though endowed with abundant ener- gy and perseverance. *“idea’ His knowledge and experience in saw making was obtained in the saw factory of his father, then operating at Bristol, Connecticut. But the continued and unprecedented prosperity which has at- tended the business of the past few years is accounted for by the fact that not only the present head of the firm, Mr. H. C. Atkins, but every department superin- tendent, is an expert in his particular line, and ‘‘ qual- ity” is their watchword. ; { Less than twenty years ago the factory employed about one hundred and fifty men, and opened its first branch house at Memphis, Tenn. A short time after- ward another branch was started in Chattanooga, which later was removed to Atlanta. Then in rapid succession branches were established at Minneapolis, Minn., Portland, Ore., New York City, Chicago, Ills., Toronto, Ont., Seattle, Wash., and last, but not least, San Francisco falls into line. The branch at San Fran- cisco was opened the first of January and was necessi- tated because of the firm’s increased business on the Coast which could not be accommodated to advantage from Portland and Seattle. To take care of their rapidly increasing trade, the firm is constantly expanding their manufacturing fa- cilities and several new buildings have lately been equipped and put into operation. About twelve hun- dred men are now employed at the factories and seventy salesmen are kept constantly on the road dis- posing of the enormous product of saws and tools whose trade mark, ‘‘ Atkins Always Ahead,” aptly describes their position in the minds of appreciative users. — The crown forests of Russia comprise 30,000,000 acres belonging to the Czar and 303,000,000 farmed by the national exchequer. The Czar employs 27,000 wood police, who cut 12,000,000 tons a year, chiefly for firewood. Twenty years ago wood-cutters in the United States felled timber covering 10,000 acres daily, but this wholesale destruction brought about — such serious evils that of late measures have been taken, both by public authorities and private persons, for preserving existing trees and woods and for ex- tensive planting where the ground is bare of timber.

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

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

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

DODGE MANUFACTURING CO. TORONTO MONRTEAL 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.

The sixth annual convention of the Canadian _ Forestry Association was opened in the Coun- cil Chamber of the City Hall, Quebec, on ‘Wednesday, March roth, with Mr. Aubrey White, Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands of Ontario, President of the Association, in the chair. There was a good attendance of members, including the following: Wn. Little, Westmount, Montreal, honorary president; E. G. Joly de Lotbiniere, vice-presi- dent, Quebec; E. Stewart, Dominion Super- intendent of Forestry, Ottawa; Dr. Judson F. Clark, Ontario Bureau of F orestry, Toronto; R. H. Campbell, Ottawa, secretary; Norman M. Ross, Ottawa, treasurer; Dr. C. A.

After the minutes of the last convention had been adopted, the Secretary submitted the annual report of the Directors, which was, in part, as follows: Report of Directors. The report of the last annual meeting was published at the Government Printing Bureau through the kind- ness and at the expense of the Forestry Branch of’the Department of the Interior. This report has been dis- tributed as usual to the members of the Association, members of the legislative bodies throughout the Do- minion, the Press and others. The Annual Report places the proceedings and deliberations in a permanent form and makes them available for reference and study. The report for the past year is well up to the character Mr. E. G. JOLY DE LOTBINIERE, President-Elect of the Canadian Forestry Association. of previous reports, both in material and illustrations, and the thanks of the Association are due to the Do- minion Superintendent of Forestry for so kindly ar- ranging to carry what would have otherwise been a necessary but heavy expense to the Association. During the year the Association has lost some of its most active members by death. Mr. John Bertram, a member of the Board and one of the strongest sup- porters of the Association, passed away after a linger- ing illness. He took a large and helpful part in the proceedings of the last annual meeting and the papers he has presented to the Association at different meet- ings have hada strong influence in the formation of public opinion on forestry and the shaping of the forest policy of Canada. As a member of the Ontario Forest Commission he did good service to his own province, and he had been called to exercise his talents ina wider sphere as Chairman of the Dominion Transportation Commission. His loss will be felt through a wide circle both in public life and among his more intimate friends. Dr. W. H. Muldrew, who was also present at the last annual meeting, died suddenly in October after only afew days’ illness. As Dean of the MacDonald In- stitute at Guelph he was beginning the development of TERMS, $1.00 PER YEAR Single Copies, 10 Cents work in Nature Study that promised much for the future interest of the children in the trees and natural objects. Mr. W. C. Caldwell, M.P.P., of Lanark, and Colonel Thos. Higginson, Vankleek Hill, both leading lumber- men and members of the Association, have also died during the year. We are sure that all the members of the Association will sympathize fully with our honored First President, His Honor Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere, and with our Vice-President, Mr. E. G. Joly Lotbiniere, in the loss they have sustained in the past year by the death of Lady Joly Lotbiniere. The Board have conveyed an expression of their sympathy to the bereaved relatives. MEMBERSHIP. The Secretary has made a special effort during the year to increase the membership of the Association by the sending out of copies of the Annual Report and in- vitation to membership in the Association to persons whose names were submitted by members. The result has been fairly satisfactory and has resulted in a con- siderable increase inmembership. This has been some- what discounted by a falling off in Manitoba and the North-west Territories. Following is a comparative statement of the membership for the past two years :— 1904. 1905. Noval'Scotianen .. ssc lee fone 14 21 New Brunswick................ 14 22 Prince Edward Island..........

The amount now standing to the credit of the Association is $989.75, but against this is the account for the Forestry Journal for January amounting to $150 and the expenses of this meeting, about $100. The thanks of the Association are again due to the Governments of the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia for the grants given by them to the work of the Association. OFFICIAL ORGAN. In accordance with the instructions of the last an- nual meeting, your Board took steps to arrange for the publication of an official organ to be devoted to the interests of the Association and the advancement of the forestry movement generally. Dr. Wm. Saun- ders, Professor John Macoun and Mr. E. Stewart were appointed provisionally as an Editorial Committee and Mr. R. H. Campbell as Editor and Business Manager. The first number of the Canadian Forestry Journal, the name decided on for the paper, was issued in January and has been distributed to the members of the Asso- ciation. The intention is to issue quarterly for the present, with the hope that the future may lead to a development that will permit of a more frequent ap- pearance of the journal. The Board would like to im- press on the members of the Association the necessity for their rendering every assistance to the editorial ee ee —— ————=—— Se ee 14 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN management to make the magazine thoroughly repre- sentative and generally useful. The whole question of the official organ is submitted for the consideration of the Association, and it is desirable to have a full ex- pression of opinion upon it. FOREST FIRES. The resolution passed at the last Annual Meeting recommending the prohibition of fires for clearing in the Province of Quebec except from the 15th June to the 31st August was transmitted to the Government of that Province, and that urging protection of the water- sheds was sent to the different Governments through- out the Dominion. The resolution relating to the prevention of fires along lines of railway and especially in the construction of the new trans-continental road was transmitted to the Dominion Government and to the representatives of the railway companies. Replies were received from the Department of Railways and Canals, and from the general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, stating that the question would be given careful consideration and steps taken in the direction indicated by the resolution. As this is a question of the utmost importance and urgency, the Association may very well re-affirm its attitude thereon. Forest fires are still causing destruction in Canada, although their extent has been largely controlled by the fire ranging system now generally adopted throughout the Dominion. British Columbia has, outside of the * Railway Belt which is protected by Dominion fire rangers, suffered the most severely, as the season was dry throughout, and that province has unfortunately, in spite of its great forest wealth, not provided for a fire ranging force such as has proved effective in other parts of Canada. In Nova Scotia, the fire warden service established under the act passed at the last session of the Legislature, pas proved successful in the counties in which the system was inaugurated. The report of the Crown Lands Department shows that numerous fires were prevented or extinguished in their incipiency and the loss in many ccunties, large in previous years, has been reduced to a minimum. Under Dominion jurisdiction, there were forty fire rangers employed ahd the result was that there was little destruction by forest fires except in the Crow's Nest Pass, where ther¢ was great difficulty in controll- ing them. The success in the railway belt in British Columbia in preventing loss was most marked, and to show how the cost of a. fire ranging service is saved over and over again in the value of timber protected, it will be permissible to quote from a letter received by the Dominion Forestry Branch from the Columbia River Lumber Company as follows: ‘We feel satisfied that without the fire ranging system and the extra work which was done in the last six weeks, practically all the timber’ tributary to Shuswap Lake would have been destroyed and, as you know, this amounts to a good many hundred of millions of feet.” TREE PLANTING. The tree planting scheme under Federal manage- ment in Manitoba and the North-West Territories continues to develop. During the year 1904, 1,800,000 trees were distributed to 1027 settlers, an average to In 1905 the distribution will be 2,000,000 trees to 1120 settlers. The Forestry Branch has so far sent out about 5,000,000 trees and 2,000 lbs. of tree seed. Educational work in this connection is being done by addresses at the meetings of Farmers’ Institutes, and a forestry exhibit was shown at the Do- minion Exhibition at Winnipeg. each of 1752 trees. In Ontario a beginning has been made in the setting out of a nursery at the @ntario Agricultural College at Guelph from which the farmers of that province may obtain supplies of forest trees for planting. Lectures on . forestry at Farmers’ Institutes and gatherings of a similar nature will be given to explain the plans of the Government and furnish general information on the management of trees. In the first week of January of the present year, a Forest Congress was held at Washington, which was attended by a number of Canadian representatives, The Congress brought together some four hundred people, representing not only scientific foresters and the forest enthusiasts, but practical and leading men in lumber industry, in railroad management, in mining. in irrigation and manufactures, men whom the practical necessities of the case had forced to take an interest in forestry and who showed by their presence and active interest that forestry is no longer a fad but a business question of supreme national importance. The effect of this meeting on the public of the United States should be far-reaching, and it is a question worthy of con- * sideration as to whether the time has not arrived to make a special effort of a similar nature in Canada. A committee representing your Board waited upon His Excellency, Earl Grey, recently to ask him to be kind enough to act as Patron of the Canadian Forestry Association. His Excellency received the committee most graciously and was pleased not only to consent to give his patronage, but far exceeded their expecta- tions by stating that he would be pleased to do any- thing further in his power to assist the work of the Association and suggested that, in the event of an evening meeting being held in Ottawa during the present season, he would be pleased to attend and might arrange to have it held at Government House. This kindly action of His Excellency and the evidences of his sympathy with movements affecting the well- being of the Dominion should give him a high place in the respect and affection of Canadians and especially of the members of the Forestry Association. Mr. W. C. J. HALL, An Active Member of the-Local Committee. . The thanks of the Forestry Association are due to the press for their interest in its work, and “the notice given it in their columns from time to time, to the rail- way companies who have again kindly granted single fare for the annual meeting, and to kindred societies from whom assistance has’ been received in warious ways. . : yer President’s Address. Following the report of the Directors the President gave a brief address extempore. He had first to congratulate himself on being President of the Association in a year when its meeting was held in the Ancient Capital of Canada. Here was the nursery of all the de- velopments that have taken place in every direction throughout the Dominion. Under the French regime the first Crown timber regu- lations were promulgated, and some of the problems which confronted the framers of the early laws have come down to the present day. The rights of the settlers and kindred matters are just as live questions to-day as they were two or three hundred years ago. Mr. White spoke of the forestry movement, and said that the first impetus to the organization had been given ata meeting heldin Montreal in 1882. The good seed sown then had its results later. Inr890the American Association held its meet- ing in Quebec, and as the present Governor- General, Earl Grey, had expressed his deepest sympathy with the movement, so did the Gov- . ernor-General of that day, Lord Stanley, who APRIL, 1905, — = had been greatly interested. The first steps taken towards the organization of the Canadian Association was taken, thanks to the work of Mr. Stewart, who is present here to-day, in 1890. From that time slow, but steady progress has been made. Canada possessed unbounded forestry resources, and the Association desir- ed to impress upon the Government the taking of steps to protect and conserve those resour- ces. One particular point was to prevent loss by forest fires, and the fire ranging system advocated by the Association, and first estab- lished in a small way in the Province of Ontario, has now been followed by every Province in Canada. Another desire was to preserve the watersheds of the great rivers, and also to pro- tect the denizens of the forest. One of the most difficult questions was to keep out set- — tlers from land unfitted for settlement, but which contained valuable timber. Since all varieties of timber have taken on such value the settler is anxious to go in, not for the agricultural possibilities, but that he may cut and dispose of the timber on the land. That was one of the greatest problems with which he had to con- tend with in Ontario, and some systematic effort should be made to draw the line, and to say that where land is unfit for settlement no settler shall be allowed to go in. He hoped that the. Association would draw up a resolu- tion on the subject. The Association’s desire was to create a public sentiment in favor of forest preservation and protection. The idea that the Association was a collection of faddists, whose theories were impracticable, had now . been dispelled and many leading people are now coming in to help the movement. The President said the membership of the Association should be much larger than it was, and instead of 575 members it should be 5,000, and if the members would only exert them- selves the number would be greatly increased. At the morning session a paper by Prof. R. W. Brock, of Queen’s University, Kingston, was read by Mr. Roland D. Craig, of the Bureau of Forestry, Ottawa, the title being ‘¢ Forest Fires in British Columbia.” This was followed by an address on ‘‘Forest Pro- tection on Dominion Lands in British Colum- bia,” by Mr. James Leamy, Dominion Crown Timber Agent, New Westminster, B. C. ,Mr. Leamy emphasized the necessity of greater fire protection in British Columbia, and stated that many prospectors set fire to the woods in order to secure a place for prospecting. The fire rangers followed the prospectors and extin- guished the fires. He hoped the system would be greatly extended in the near future. Mr. E. Stewart told of the regulations adopt- ed for protecting the timber within the Railway Belt in British Columbia, and was followed by Hon. H. Bostock, Mr. F. W. Jones, and others. Dr. C. A. Schenck, of Biltmore, North Caro- lina, who has charge of the Vanderbilt lands, was called upon, and gave an_ interesting address. He compared business forestry with what he termed landscape forestry.and urged that unless we had forestry on business princi- ple, we could never have it on a large scale. He was glad to see that in Canada the business men realized the importance and the value of p —- = APRIL, 1905 — the*question. He spoke of the importance of Governments designating just what land is actual forest land and what is land for agricul- ture. All soil that is absolutely forest soil a4 should be reserved. Government ownership was best for this. If large tracts are required let -the Government own them. All absolutely - forest land should be reserved by the Govern- ment. - Prof. Filibert Roth, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich., followed Dr. Schenck and endorsed that gentleman’s views. He said State forestry was much superior to private forestry. AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session the following com- mittee on resolutions was appointed to deal with certain questions arising out of the report - of the directors :—Messrs. E. Stewart, F. W. Jones, R. H. Campbell, E. G. Joly de Lot- _ pbiniere, T. G. Loggie, H. M. Price, Aubrey White. A telegram was read from Mr. J. R. Booth, of Ottawa, as follows: ‘‘Have carefully read re © your report, which I find very interesting ; i. sorry I cannot attend.” A telegram was also - read: from Hon. W. C. Edwards, M.P., - Ottawa, regretting his absence, and advising ’ the Association that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who has always taken a lively interest in the work ' of the Association, had expressed a desire to - have a large Forestry conference called to meet - at Ottawa during the coming summer or in the —* autumn. - The first paper read was by Rev. T. W. ' Fyles, of Levis, on ‘‘Forest Insects”. Mr. T. G. Loggie, of the Crown Lands Department, _ Fredericton, presented a paper on ‘‘The Forests _ of New Brunswick”, which will be found in hie this issue. ? -_ ‘1n the absence of Hon. J. W. Longley, Commissioner of Crown Lands for Nova Scotia, who was to have contributed a paper, —-—sOW*rr. Robt. Bell, Director of the Geological Sur- vey of Canada, was called upon. He spoke briefly of the northern forests of the Dominion, touching upon the distribution of trees, and instancing the vast number of species to be found. He cited the fact that in the United -* States and Canada combined, there were a _ total of 340 species of forest trees, while in the ne __ whole of Europe there were only 30. Dr. Bell gave many interesting facts in connection with ___- his subject and many instructive circumstances * were plated,’ in regard to forest fires in the ~ "north. LM THE BANQUET. On Thursday evening the friends of the Forestry Association in the City of Quebec tendered a banquet to the President and visit- ae ing members. Especial arrangements had ____ been made at the Chateau Frontenac and the event was a sumptuous affair. About one hundred persons were seated around the festive board, which was formed in the shape of a horseshoe. By request, President White pre- ___ sideded.

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

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

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

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

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

An embargo on the exportation of pulp wood from the Province of Quebec is one of the forth- coming events that is at present being seriously considered by the American paper and pulp manufacturers who make or use ground wood, Top View, Paper Machine; Center View, Wet Pulp Machines ; PuLe Company's VIEWS IN THE BELGO-CANADIAN So certain of the placing of the embargo are those interested that the matter, especially in the New York market, is looked upon as prac- tically settled, the date of its imposition alone being open. The embargo, it is stated, will apply not only to wood cut on Crown lands but also to that cut on private lands. As the paper mills in Northern New York especially get from 50 to 75 per cent, of their wood from. Canada, the Paper Trade Journal that the effect of the of that source of supply can be imagined. A says elimination number of mills, it is stated, are wholly de- pendent on What the owners of such mills would do under the- supply of Canadian logs. — Bottom View, Wood Grinder. MILLs, SHAWINIGAN FALLS, QUE. the circumstances is difficult to predict. That pulp would cost considerably more there is said to be no question. With this increased cost there would, of course, be an advance in the price of all ground wood papers. It is very problematical what policy will be decided upon in the event of a reorganization of the Government, and until some more definite announcement is made any prediction must be largely aguess. This much is certain, that the feeling in Canada is strongly in favor of manufacturing the timber at home, and it would he no surprise if Quebec should follow the good example which. has been set by On- tario:. UTILIZING SULPIHTE MILL WASTE. For some time J. S. Robeson, a chemist and inventor, has been experimenting at Ausable Forks, N. Y., orating the waste liquor from the digesters of with a new process for evap- sulphite pulp mills, and finally a small plant was erected to make a practical demonstration. This plant is now in operation, and is taking care of 10 per cent. of the waste liquor of the mill. The result is said to be entirely satisfactory. The water is freed from all foreign substances, and emerges from the plant as clear as moun- All the pulp fibre and other substances are taken from it, and become a tain spring water. valuable product.

The present plant is the -property of a newly organized company, the American Glu- cose Company, of which Mr. ident. Robeson is pres- This company will erect the new plant. PULP NOTES. The Canada Paper Company, of Windsor Mills, Que- bec, has established a. new chemical fibre mill with a daily capacity of ten tons. A new barking mill, giving initial employnient to roo men, has been built this winter by the Miramichi ,Pulp and Paper Company at Chatham, N .B. A stock of * about 50,000 cords of pulp wood has been secured, which will keep the mill busy for some time. The eighteenth annual general meeting of the share- holders of the E. B. Eddy Company was held at Hull early in March, when the statement was given out that the company has no intention of selling out to any syndicate, as recently reported. The original board of directors was again re-elected: Mr. E. B. Eddy, president ; Mr. S. S. Cushman, vice-president, and Mr. W. H. Rowley, treasurer. W. D. Woodruff, of Merritton, Ont., is interested in a new company formed to develop a fine water power on the Ottawa River. Associated with him are H. H. Dewart, Joseph Kilgour and Charles Mitchell, of To- ronto. The lease which was granted the gentlemen gives them the right to develop a water power at Deux Rivieres for a period of ten years. The area of land granted, which includes part of the bed of the Ottawa River, covers 65 acres. The rights of lumbermen to float logs down the stream are reserved. For this lease the parties must pay a graded rental, which, after the fifth year, will be 25 cents per horse power. Engineer Andrew A. MacCallum has made surv eys and plans of the water power development. He estimates that it will cost $63,800 for 2,000 horse power and $118,580 for 5,000 horse power. Mr, Woodruft says that the timber grants are extensive and include some excellent pulp wood. C. H. VOGEL A. M. Can. Soc. C.E. OTTAWA, CAN.

It isthe poorest of poor economy to let the stock of ordinary width of belting run out, or be too stingy about its use. The average widths in most establishments are 6 inches and under, and very much the largest part. is 4 inches and under. These sizes should be kept in stock, for belting can be bought cheaper in quantities rather than a few feet at a time, and belts season or ripen and become better by being kept in stock. Itis cheaper to take out a partly-worn belt and cut the poor places out of it, then relap and rivet. When a belt rips apart at the fastenings every day, and pieces are put of time lost amounts to quite an item in a month’s work. One of the best points about a circular saw, in fact about any kind of a saw, isto have the outer points of the teeth clean sharp. A majority of filers (this name is a misfit for lots of men that do file) think if they get the main part of the tooth up to ‘an edge, that is all that is necessary. But this is only a part of what is required; the finishing in, the percentage touch is the most essential thing, and unless it , is well done there is no certainty that any saw will do good work. When the pile of waste is larger than the pile of good stock, you have got into the wrong pile of stock to cut from, unless the proprietor thinks itis cheaper to cut his stock into fire wood than into good stock. A pile of boards, with a view to economy, should have very few waste Sometimes practically all can be used to some part of the work. Many concerns buy cutting-up stock because they get it cheap, but stock that cuts to half waste should be: bought for less than half price, as the cost of handling must be taken into the account. Waste makes high- priced fuel, and, if used with coal, generally They pieces in it. burns up more coal than it makes fire. should never be used at the same time. When a band saw, cutting a board 8 inches wide, cuts ina curve of 34-inch in the width and spoils the board, it is time it was taken off and filed so the teeth will be of a length. A band saw, in resawing any width of stock, should cut straight through. Any deviation from a straight line shows that the teeth are longest on the cohcave side of the stock. A band sawyer of considerable experience was cutting 4x10 stock to make 2x10, and spoiled several pieces and broke several saws before he found out what the trouble was. He finally putin a new saw, which cut straight through. This led to an observation which showed him THE CANADA LUMBERMAN that he had let the teeth get long on one side- The length of time that stock should remain in the steam box before drying should be learned by observation and study of conditions and the kind of wood to be steamed. I will give the way a concern largely interested in automobile work does its steaming. Wheel-rim stock of hickory, 2%x1¥%, is steamed by exhaust steam five hours before bending. This stock never goes to the kiln. Spokes 2x3 and 3x24, 22 inches long, lie in the steam box two whole days, and are left in the kiln a whole month before turning. Sawed wheel rims, 3x6 and 22 inches long, get the same treatment and are afterward oiled and piled up while waiting to be worked. Five-quarter whitewood for bending is steamed usually : about five hours. This is never put in the kiln. Spoke stuff is put inthe steam box helter-skelter. Coal and wood for fuel to make steam with should be used separately, never at the Same’ time. Coal is good enough, and wood is good enough, but when used together are not a good combination. The wood if possible should be used in the forenoon, for this reason: Usually it is necessary fo keep steam up as far into the night as possible for dry-kilns and other purposes, and the coal fire does it. In the morning steam must be got up quickly for many purposes, and wood does it. Italso gives a chance to clean the grates ready for the coal fire again in the afternoon. The poorest place to keep tools of any kind is on the floor or up in some brace or ona If laid upon the floor, they get into the shavings, and when you want them it costs more to hunt them up than they are worth. If you leave a tool in some brace or on some beam, you forget where you put it, and it is only found by accident, if ever it is found. beam. The only way to keep tools is to have a place for each and cultivate a habit of keeping them there. A rule should always be kept in a handy pocket, unless you have a tool box on one side of the saw or fastened to the machine you are working on. Get the habit of keeping tools in a place for tools and, above all, don’t forget where you put them.—The Woodworker.

HORSE-POWER OF WOODWORKING MACHINERY, The following rule is given for determining — the horse power required to run wood-working _ machinery of various kinds in a car shop plan- — ing mill : za Attach a steam engine indicator to your — engine and take diagrams while running your shafting and loose pulleys only. Multiply the area of your engine piston by the mean effective pressure shown by these diagrams. Multiply the product so obtained by the number of feet the piston travels in a minute, and divide by 33,000. The quotient is the friction load of your engine, expressed in horse power. Now start up the machine or machines that you wish to test, leaving everything else just as it was before, and take more diagrams with the in- dicator. Ascertain the power developed under these conditions by the above rule, and from the result subtract the friction load. The re- mainder is the horse power required to run the machinery you mention. Take great care to have all conditions exactly the same in both cases, except that in one case the machines are idle, while in the other they are doing their regular work, as otherwise the result will be of no value. a a MODERN BOX FACTORIES. | In looking over the modernized box factory we find manufacturers have changed their methods materially, says Barrel and Box. The old slip-shod way of delivering a truck load of — lumber to the factory without keeping any track of it, and then making up sueh orders as may be in hand, has all passed. You see the foreman marching through the factory and watching every man who is handling lumber. He keeps his eye on the waste box. If he sees a piece that should not be there he wants to This is a necessity because lumber costs money nowadays. Labor is pretty high, too, and when you add these two items to your waste account and then figure on your general expenses and profits you will find that any shave in prices, and there __ may have been some shaves, means a _-loss_ of profit. The man who is satisfied to go on without improving his factory or operating on the improved method, which includes systema- — tic handling of orders in the office as well, is liable to come out at the small end of the horn this year. ; Brown & Company, Limited, St. Marys, Ont., have been incorporated, to carry on a lumber and wood- working business.

The engraving herewith represents the Defiance Machine Company’s No. 1 automatic vertical hollow chisel mortising machine, designed for cutting mortises in either soft or hard wood. It has been designed for the use of manufacturers of wagons, agricultural implements, railway car,ship builders and various other woodwookers.. The principle involved is the use of an auger revolving within a square hollow chisel attached to avertically moving ram which is fed down to the work, a single movement produces a clean square mortise, corresponding to the exact size of the tools used. By moving the table horizontally and at right angles with a single auger aud chisel, mortises of various widths and lenghs can be cut, although one each %”, 4, 7%”, and 1” augers and chisels are furnished with each machine. This machine contains many new patented improve- ments. All the working parts are outside of the frame in plain view and easy ofaccess, which is a most desir- able feature. The ram hasa quick return and it is balanced in any position without the use of weight or spring, and is entirely noiseless inits operation. The table is provided with a system of stops and gauges for laying off the work. ; The frame is a massive casting in one piece, with cored centre and a broad base. - It is original in design No. 1 Automatic Vertical Hollow Chisei mortising Machine, ~ Per et eee = eee “Gable Word, MINEHAS” and of sufficient strengh to do the very heaviest class of mortising with ease. The ram to which the auger and chisel are attached is thoroughly gibbed to the frame in planed and scraped angle ways, and is re- ciprocated vertically by means of a heavy worm gear and a screw running in a reservoir of oil and driven by a double friction clutch. The auger spindle extending up throtgh the centre runs in self-lubricated bearings. The top end rotates against an adjustable bronze screw to support the end thrust, and it is also self-lubricating. The pulleys for driving the auger spindle are so con- Structed to automactically maintain the proper tension to the belt at all times. The ram has a stroke up to 10” and its position is controlled by a convenient hand lever, a slight movement of which instantly starts or Stops the feed or reverses it at any point. The depth of the mortise can be changed instantly while the machine is in motion, by means of a screw adjustment. Tt has four ratesof feed with a quick return motion, enabling the machine to cut mortises in either hard or soft wood as large as 2” square at a single stroke. The compound table is thoroughly gibbed to the _ front of the frame, and it it supported upon a heavy Steel screw, operated by a convenient hand wheel for raising and lowering the table.. To the table patent stops with a micrometer adjustment are fitted to facili- te the duplication of mortises, and they can be in- ‘Stantly lifted up out of the way and the table moved in either a longitudinal or lateral direction and returned to its original position without destroying any of the adjustments. A chuck is furnished for angle mortising and it is laid offto 20°. Gauges are also supplied for gauging from the end of the work or from a mortise. A powerful adjustable clamp is fitted to the table for holding the work. It will accommodate stock 12” by 15’ square and the machine will cut mortises in any position ina piece of timber of this size or any size under. The floor space occupied is 48” by 70”, and two horse power are required to drive the machine. The Defiance Machine Works, Defiance, Ohio, will be pleased to furnish further particulars on application. SHAVINGS. The Christie Woodworking Company, St. John, N. B., have purchased additional property and intend in- creasing their plant. A decided preference is shown in Canada in favor of barrels for the shipment of apples. The large dealers all preter barrels to boxes in packing or shipping apples. On the contrary the small dealers favor the box, owing to the fact that they find a more ready sale for this kind of package. There is rarely a surplus supply of apples in barrels in this country, but if the box was adopted, the dealers say, it would be quite different. This question has been much discussed lately, a large percentage giving the barrel preference. The Conger Lumber Company, of Parry Sound, Ont., have built a new stave mill at Moon River Bay, on the shores of the Georgian Bay. The mill is covered with galvanized roofing and has a cutting capacity of 40,000 staves per day with the machinery already installed. There is ample room to double the output and the boil- er and engine were selected with that end in view. Most of the timber used will be taken from the Com- pany’s limits and will be rafted down Six Mile Lake to the mill. For this purpose the company is building a fine new boat to be called the Admiral Togo. QUEBEC TIMBER LIMIT HOLDERS’ ASSOCIA TION.

Bell, Inspector of the Ontario Boards of Health, recently returned to Toronto from a six-weeks’ tour ofthe lumber,mining and railway constructioncamps of New Ontario. He found, on the whole, that the employers were carrying out the regulations in regard to sani- tary arrangements, and were quite willing to adopt any suggestions. When he left for To- ronto there was only one case of smallpox, and that was at the farthest point reached by the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway. All precautions had been taken, however, and there was no danger from this source. Cases in several other camps had recovered. The greatest difficulty in regard to sanitary regula- tions was found in railway construction camps, owing to the manner in which the gangs di- vided into little camps along the lines. ‘Greater quantities of balsam have been cut the past winter than ever before in one season,” said a lumberman from the north the other day. ‘‘ The price of white pine is now so high, ‘he continued,” that people are looking around for substitutes, and this promises to result in a larger consumption of such woods as spruce, hemlock and balsam. Of course, there is no wood quite so good as pine for some purposes, but it means a lot of money to buy even the lower grades, and often a saving can be made by substituting hemlock or balsam. Balsam can be sold at $13 mill run and give the manu- facturer a fair profit, for there is absolutely no waste, whereas with pine about 25 per cent. of the log is not marketable.” This gentleman spoke of the vast quantities of balsam to be found in Northern Ontario, and his statement can be confirmed by reference to the reports made to the Crown lands Department by sur- veyors. Indianapolis is the largest veneer manufac- turing centre in the world. There are seven factories in that city, and their combined out- put is nearly equal to that of all the other factories in the United States. There are two kinds of veneering—sawed and _ sliced—but it takes an expert to tell the difference. The pro- cess of manufacture is simple. The logs, de- livered at the factory in the rough, about 13 ft. in length, are first cooked in hot water vats to make them soft and workable. After being thoroughly cooked they are placed on machines and either sliced by a powerful knife the length of the log or cut by a circular saw into slabs about one-twentieth of an inch thick. These slabs are the full length of the log, and when first cut are so pliable that they can be bent double without breaking. The uniform thick- ness or thinness of the slabs is preserved by the action of the machinery, and does not vary as much as a hair’s breath in the entire length of the slab. After the slabs are sliced or sawed, they are seasoned by steaming. This requires only about 24 hours, and then they are ready ‘for the market. tv (oy) THE CANADA LUMBERMAN THE NEWS ONTARIO. —The dissolutionis announced of Kernohan & Fergu- son, lumber dealers, London, Ont. —The portable saw mill of McBurney & Sons, operating near North Bay, Ont., was destroyed by fire last month. —The Birch Saw Lumber Company, of Banbury, Ont., have secured a large number of logs and are looking forward to an active season. —David MacLaren, the well known Ottawa lumber- man, has donated $5,000 towards the endowment fund of Queens University, Kingston, Ont. —George Bushfield, of St. Thomas, Ont., has been appointed manager of the factory department of the Muskoka Wood Company, Huntsville, Ont.

PREMIER TWEEDIE ON LUMBER, Premier Tweedie, of New Brunswick, in his budget speéch on March 21st, reterred to the lumber business in the following words: “During the past year the condition of the province has been fairly prosperous, although there has been a depression in the lumber industry. The depression cast a gloom’over the operators, for they feared that it was likely to last a long time. Unfortunately, it cameat a time when a change had been made in the rate of stumpage. ““This House is aware that for many years the rate for spruce was $1 a thousand and the mileage $8 a mile, with the right to renew each year for $4 “After the twenty-five years system of leases was adopted a great many persons obtained land at upset price of $8, which in a few years became extremely valuable, for the price of lumber kept going up until it reached its highest point about three years ago. At that time our operators made a great deal of money. The government noting with satisfaction the improve- ment of the lumber industry did not immediately raise the rate of stumpage, because they considered that the lumbermen had suffered losses and they wished to give them a chance to recoup themselves. But after atime it became evident that a change in stumpage should be made so that a larger revenue might be derived from that great industry. “When the depression came efforts were made by the lumbermen to have the stumpage reduced. It was argued that that trade could not stand the increased rates. But the government considered that the lum- bermen had been making a great deal of money for several years and that the lands they had leased had increased immensely in value. Therefore they thought that it would not be in the interests of the province to accede to their wishes. Besides, we were able to show that the depression was only temporary, and I am happy to say that the cloud has passed away and that now our lumber industry is in a fairly prosperous con- dition. “One result of the increase has been that our terri- torial revenue was larger last year than ever before, reaching the large sum of $296,424. There is, there- fore, no reason to doubt the value of the timber lands of the province, nor is there any reason for saying that we are oppressing this industry. “Some people have affirmed that the policy of the Quebec government is more favorable to the lumber- men than ours, but those who have lumbered in both provinces and who have a right to know, prefer the conditions that exist in New Brunswick. The great increase that has taken place in our territorial revenue shows that we have in our lumber lands an asset of great value, and that is one of the reasons why our credit is the best of any province in Canada. “If we were willing to sell our lumber lands outright they would bring in a sum sufficient to pay off our entire debts and leave a surplus so large that it would give us almost as much revenue as the sum we now derive from these lands. But this government would never consent’ to adopt such a policy as that which would place our lumber lands in the hands of some great monopoly. Possessing such an asset in these lands is a sufficient answer to those who accuse us of having added to the bonded bebt of the province.” METHODS OF QUARTER-SAWING. A correspondent of The Woodworker gives what he considers the most practical methods of quarter-sawing.

Duplex dogs are a great help in quarter-sawing, but a little practice will enable a practical man to do the work with the ordinary Knight or similar dogs. Fig. 4 represents another method much used in some localities, especially on logs of small diameter, but for large logs, say 24 inches and up, I prefer the first method for best results. In either case you must have some sort of edger for finishing up the boards. CALIFORNIA EXCURSION.

We trust such a con- ference will be arranged and bespeak for it marked success. ' THE FOREST AS A NATURAL RESOURCE. Dr. Judson F. Clark, Provincial Forester, gave a most interesting address on ‘‘The For- est as a Natural Resource” before the National Science Club of the University of Toronto on Tuesday afternoon, March 7th. He made a strong and convincing plea for the public ownership and control in perpetuity of Canada’s forest domain and showed not only the import- ance but the necessity of preserving intact the forest wealth of the country instead of allowing it to be dissipated by private exploitation re- gardless of consequent disastrous results on water powers, and on the per- The climate, soil, manency of natyral timber resources. ee Saw Mill, THE CANADA LUMBERMAN APRIL, 1905 effect of totally denuding certain districts, owing to unscientific methods of lumbering, was illustrated by various views. The burn- ing and disposal of the debris after the trees were cut, said Dr. Clark, was perhaps the greatest problem confronting forestry in Can- ada. He believed that a fire through a forest, provided enough large trees were left to pre- vent the total destruction of the growth, re- sulted beneficially, in that it prepared the soil for new seed and got rid of the dangerous debris. The provincial system of fire-ranging, he declared, was the best in the world. Greece, Mesopotamia, Sicily, countries, he said, formerly rich agricultural lands had become comparatively unproductive simply because they had allowed their forest lands, to be denuded. The same conditions were now applying to a lesser extent to the great Mississippi Valley. Canada had the richest forest domain in the world, and pro- vided proper Government action were taken now to preserve it for all time, the revenues of this country from its timber resources would be simply inestimable. Better, he urged, that the revenues from this source should go into the public treasury than to create multi-millionares. AN EARLY EXPERIMENT IN FORESTRY. An interesting example of the profit of con- servative forest management is furnished by Dr. S. B. Caldwell, af Paducah, Ky., who has WE RECOMMEND FOR ALUMINUM GENUINE BABBITT AND - MEANGANESE AMNTI-ERICTION BABBITT METALS — UR name and trade mark the shield on every bar. two brands to wear consideraby longer than any other make. Babbitt has been used by largest users for a good many years. and other dealt in timber lands in the southwestern part of the State for fifty-eight years. ‘In 1847,” says Dr. Caldwell, ‘‘I sold timber from a tract of land at $1 an acre, the purchaser having the privilege’ of removing what he wanted and leaving what he did not want. He took the choice trees, but left a considerable amount standing. In 1870 I sold the timber from the same tract and got for it $2 a tree. The pur- chaser removed an average of three trees per acre. tract for the third time, and got for it as much as I had received at the second sale. Dr. Caldwell’s experience in the woods taught him long ago the wisdom of conservative forest management. Thirty years ago, when he came into possession of a tract about 700 acres near Paducah, he sold a quantity of tim- ber for wagon stock. At that time forestry in that country was virtually unknown. to allow no trees to be cut except those which he selected. He went about in the woods and picked out trees whose tops and general appear- ance showed they had passed their period of greatest vigor, and trees which interfered with promising young growth. His forest has been culled a number of times in the past thirty years, but so wisely has the cutting been done that to-day the land will average from 10,000 to 15,000 board feet per acre. This was an ex- perience in forestry which has amply justified itself, and shows how a shrewd, far-sighted man may, even without technical advice, secure good returns from his woodland without im- pairing its productive value and while putting himself in position to profit by the steady rise which is taking place in timber values.

The Manitoba Iron Works, Limited, of Winnipeg, one of the newest of the many new business enterprises in the West, is a most striking example of the rapidity of western industrial development. The company was organized in March, 1903, to carry on a general foundry and machine business, and in August of the same year operations were commenced in shops affording a floor space of approximately 25,000 square feet. Since that date these shops have been in con- tinuous operation with an ever increasing staff num- bering now over 100 mechanics and helpers. The buildings are solid red brick throughout and present an exceptionally good appearance from Logan avenue frontage. A siding tributary to the C. P. R. runs full length of their property, affording accommodation for 20 cars, and incoming and outgoing shipments are handled direct to and from the shops or warehouse. There are seven buildings grouped about the pro- punch and shear to punch 34 inch hole in plate 4% inch thick ; air tools for riveting and calking boilers and tanks. The power house has a 75 horse power Brown tandem compound engine, Cookson heatér and puri- fier, Rand air compressor, and the other necessary fittings. Lavatories for the shopmen adjoin the boiler room, and are conveniently fitted up. A special effort is made to cater to the saw-mill trade, a full line of sprocket chain, shafting, frictions, babbitt metal, etc., being carried, in addition to a complete list of patterns for saw-mill castings. The superintendents have had considerable experience in saw-mill work and erders are handled intelligently and carefully. During. the past eighteen months they have furnished new equipment for all the large mills of Manitoba and West- ern Ontario, including several boilers, notably one 84” diameter and 18 feet in length to the Rat Portage Lumber Company for their Norwood mill. This was the largest boiler ever built in Western Canada. The ~ Bass River, N.B. Me * TORONTO OBITUARY.

Their manager in charge is Mr. Geo. Rochester, whose ability as a manager is well known to everyone. The Upper Ottawa Improvement Company have a fleet of tow boats on the lake, and take charge of all logs belonging to the above men- tioned firms immediately on their being boom- ed out of the creeks and rivers. The Lums- ' den line of steamers plying between Gordon Creek, Villa Marie, New Liskeard, Haileybury, North Temiscamingue, White River and inter- mediate points, handle the bulk of freight and passenger traffic, but a considerable amount comes over the Government railway built from North Bay, which strikes the lake at New Liskeard. In the. Kippewa district the Shepherd & Morse Lumber Company, with head offices in Boston, U. S. A., are increasing their output over last year. This season they have five Owing to the distance from ‘their mills the firms operating in this district have their driv- ing operations considerably shortened by two — artificial canals—one is called Turtle Portage, connecting North River with Kippewa Lake. The distance between the two lakes being only about 150 yards, and North River level being about 15 feet above Kippewa, a canal 20 feet wide was constructed and provided with adam and gates across the head to regulate the flow of water. The logs are all taken down this way, Saving a distance of about 18 miles, which onalarge lake with bad winds for towing purposes is quite an item. Alongside the canal a small tramway is built witha large freight shed at each end, and freight is transported across in this way from one steamer to the other.

It was considered impossible to drive logs or timber, and in fact some firms operat- ing on it were obliged to haul their timber a distance of about 20 miles to the Ottawa River, but Fraser & Company, who are this season operating five large camps, have succeed- ed in overcoming all obstacles, and have built a chain of improvements in the shape of side piers, rolling dams, slides, etc., from the mouth almost to the source. Their drive last year was out early in May, which owing to the late- ness of the season was considered extremely early. Their mills, which are practically new and up to date, are situated at Deschene Rap- ids, a distance of about seven miles from Otta- wa. Their up-river manager is Mr. Geo. B. Campbell, whose reputation as an estimator of standing pine is second to none, while at Jocko River Depot Mr. William Burns has charge of all book-keeping and supplies.

This stream, which is quite a size, has only one firm operating on it, Mr. J. R. Booth, who has three large camps of logs and pulp wood. ‘The limit is known as the fa- mous Mackey limit, and was owned ‘and operat- ed for years by the late Mr. Mackey, of Otta- wa, for square timber purposes. This one of Mr. Booth’s many branches is capably manag- ed by Mr. Geo. Purdy, while Mr. J. A. Neil is book-keeper, with headquarters at Eauclaire. At Klocks Mills Mr. Thomas Carpenter, for years agent for McLachlan Bros., has gone into lumbering on his own account, and has a large contract of spruce and pulp for Mr. J. R. Booth’s large pulp mill at Ottawa. Deux Rivieres furthur down the Ottawa has another contractor in the person of Mr. A. Thrasher, who has a large contract for the Shepherd & Morse Lumber Company and who Mr. Thrasher does his own superintending, while Mr. E. R. McColgan looks after the interests of the Shepherd & Morse Company in the operated two large camps this season. matter. On Bear creek, another small tributary of the Ottawa emptying in above Rockliffe, the firm of A. & P. White have three camps under the able management of Mr. George Reilly, of Pembroke. The firm being one of the oldest on the Ottawa, needs no introduction to the readers of THE LUMBERMAN. ‘The senior member, the Hon. Peter White, at present re- presents North Renfrew constituency at Ottawa and was Speaker of the House during the last Conservative administration. “The Dumoine river is one of the larger tribu- taries ot the Ottawa, and empties in above the famous Des Joachims Rapids. Its main head is Big Lake Dumoine, a large lake about 20 miles long in some places. A large number of streams empty into this lake also, and the river is fed by a like number of smaller streams. Lumbering on the Dumoine is on the decline and this year but two firms are operating, where some years ago somewhere in the neighborhood of eight or nine firms were running at their full capacity. The E. B. Eddy Company have three camps situated around the shores of Big Lake Du- moine under the capable management of Mr. R. E. McCracken, one of their oldest and most trusted employees. Their headquarters for this branch are at Stubbs Bay, where they have a fine depot under the management of Mr. Chas. Mangan, who looks after the book- keeping as well. Down at Rowanton, a distance of about 20 miles from Des Joachims, the Hawkesbury Lumber Company have their Dumoine Depot, which is considered one of the finest on the Ottawa. This branch is under the able super- vision of Mr. John McElroy, who had four large camps) this season. Their book-keeper is Mr. Gerald Fitzgerald. At Deep River below Des Joachims on the Ottawa and Chalk river, on the C. P. R. line, the lumber operations are carried on by Fraser & Company, who have several camps. Their drive at this branch will be particularly short, asa quantity of their logs are laid on the Ottawa and the balance on creeks about 15 miles from the river. This branch is under the managemeut of Mr. Geo. E. Campbell, who is ably assisted by Mr. Alfred Allen, ot Point Alexander. Coming further down to Schyan Point, we find where the Schyan River and Ottawa join their forces. On this stream, once largely operated by the Bronson & Weston Lumber Company, of Ottawa, Mr. J. R. Booth has three large camps, in charge of Mr. Dwyer Hennessy, another one of his very capable over- seers with headquarters at Schyan Farm. At this point Mr. John Lister, the book-keeper, is also stationed. On the Ontario side of the Ottawa emptying in at Petewawa, about 15 miles above Pem- broke and extending for over 100 miles west, is the Petewawa River, a second Ottawa, and in many places larger than the Ottawa. Up almost at the source McLachlan Bros., of Arnprior, have four large camps, under the management of Mr. J. McManus. Their head- quarters are about 12 miles from Brule Lake on the line of the Canada Atlantic Railway, where Mr. Robert I. Duff, their book-keeper, is stationed. ‘ Coming on down to Cedar Lake and vicinity, the Hawkesbury Lumber Company have four | camps this season, under the watchful super- vision of Mr. John Kennedy. - Their head-— quarters are at Halfway, a distance of 15 miles’ 7 from Deux Rivieres, by which route the mail a and supplies are broughtin.

Further up, McLachlan Bros. have five large — camps, on what was formerly known as the — Fraser limit, and purchased by them from the late Alexander Fraser. Their camps are under 7 the management of Mr. D. McGregor, another of their very capable agents, who has head- quarters at Lake Traver Depot. Their book- — keeper is Mr. Alex. Taylor. ' ae Mr. John Ostrom, of Pembroke, has a large | log contract with Mr. J. R. Booth and has been operating two camps for the past season.” Mr. Ostrom does considerable contracting in ~ the Sudbury district and has a thorough equip- — ment of all logging and driving rigging himself. The Coulonge River is probably the most operated upon of any stream in the Ottawa Valley to-day, and this season it will contribute — at a low average over three-quarters of a ‘ - 4 fe - -* — 3 i ae e é ‘@ — million pieces, and possibly a million. Six firms operated heavily, with a total of 24 camps, and judging by the quantity of supplies which have been put in to start them another season, next year the output will probably be larger. The Gillies’ Bros. Company, of Braeside, operated seven large camps on what is known as the famous Perley limit purchased by them from the firm of Fraser & Company. On their Osborne limit on the East branch they have a number of contractors also. These camps are all under the supervision of Mr. Robt. Moor- head, of Bryson, who is well known all through the Ottawa Valley as one of the most energetic agents in the business. The head- quarters are Perley Depot, where Mr. A.

On what is known as the Mason limit the E. B. Eddy Company, Ltd., have two camps. They are under the management of Mr. Geo. B. Klock, while Mr. John Steele is book- keeper. Further down we come to Mr. J. R. Booth’s Indian Lake Branch, where he operated two large camps of logs and spruce. They were under the management of Mr. Dwyer Hen- nessy, while Mr. Andrew Neville looked after all supplies and book-keeping. On the opposite side of the river is the new branch opened up last year and which is known as the Condo. shutting down the Dumoine branch, all equip- ment was moved to. Supervised over by one of his oldest and most experienced agents, Mr. Jos. Taylor, he had three large camps going all season. Mr. E. Labelle had charge of all supplies and book-keeping at this particular This is the branch where, after branch. Still following on the chain of Mr. Booth’s limits, we come to another branch known as the Coulonge branch, with headquarters at Jims Lake Depot, a distance of 28 miles from Fort Coulonge. Mr. Pounder is stationed here and receives all supplies besides doing book-keep- ing for two large camps, which were under the management of Mr. Dwyer Hennessy. At the head waters and almost on a paral- lel with the East Templeton Lumber Company, Fraser & Company operated three large camps, under the management of Mr. W. N. Vaughan, whose reputation as a river and woodsman is well known to everyone. Al- though situated on the Coulonge River, the firm haulall supplies and mailand take their men in by the Dumoine route and across over to their headquarters at White Depot, where their book-keeper, Mr. 3 Geo. E. Fumerton, is th. oe stationed. “a5 a7 During the last few years the firm of David- son & Thackeray, of Ottawa, finding their business growing to such proportions, pur- chased a limit on what is known as Moose Lake, a distance of about 15 miles from Fort Coulonge. They then erected a large mill at Fort Coulonge, where all their lumber is cut and then shipped to their fac- tory in Ottawa, where it is manufactured into all kinds of dressed lumber. Their camps, which amounted to two large ones, were ably looked after by Mr. James G. Bryson. Leaving the Quebec district, we will cross over to Ontario, to what is known as the Nipissing region. Again we strike Mr. Booth’s operations, where he- has two. square timber and two log camps. This is known as the Rainy Lake branch, and all men and supplies are brought by the Canada Atlantic Railway to Rainy Lake, where headquarters are. Superintending the operations here is Mr. A. G. Smith, who together with Mr. J. C. Gaudiet, book-keeper, looks carefully after the firm’s interests. On the line of the Canada Atlantic Railway at Whitney, the head of the Madawaska and Opongo waters, the St. Anthony Lumber Com- G.

They operate two large camps on the Madawaska waters, driving their logs down to Long Lake to where their mill is situated. Their other camps are situ- ated on Big Opongo Lake, and as the water runs directly away from their mill, they were obliged to construct a railway branch from their mill a distance of about 15 miles. This line is operated all summer hauling logs from the Opongo Lake, where they are all boomed and towed down to the loading point, and dumped into Long Lake, where the mill is situated. Their head office is in Ottawa, where their manager, Mr. E. C. Whitney, re- sides. In full control of all logging opera- tions is Mr. Jas. McKinnon, whose long lum- Locs READY FOR THE MoRNING, ARDILL'S Camp, GILLIES BRos. CoMPpANy, COULONGE. ber experience on the Ottawa ably fits him for such a responsible position. Mr. Labelle, the book-keeper, has his headquarters in Whitney, where the mills are situated. Situated at Madawaska, a divisional point on the Canada Atlantic Railway, we come to another one of Mr. Booth’s many branches, the Egan Estate Branch. This is the railway branch where five large camps are operated and all logs and timber are railed by the Can- ada Atlantic Railway (which by the Way was built and owned by Mr. Booth also) to his mill at Ottawa. Several band saws are kept run- ning all winter after navigation is closed and logs are frozen in, giving employment to hun- dreds of men during the winter season. So closely is Mr. Booth in touch with his camps that a telephone is installed in No. 1 Camp, where his manager, Mr. W. G. Mc- Kay, makes his headquarters, and where he can communicate with him at any time. He also operates a large store and post office at Madawaska, where the book-keeper, Mr. Geo. B. Hamblin; looks after mattets pertaining to his department. aS — : ow REVIEW OF THE CAMP SUPPLY TRADE Labor More Plentiful During the Past Year, but Supplies Generally Were Higher in Price.—Cost of Producing Lumber Still Very Great. It is probable that the log production of the past winter was secured at a slightly lower cost per thousand feet than in the previous season, the remuneration for labor being re- sponsible for this saving. The difference be- tween the wages paid the past winter and those of 1903-4 cannot all be classed asa saving, for provisions and supplies generally were more costly. The policy of curtailment which was decided upon last summer by lumbermen in almost every province of the Dominion greatly in- fluenced the labor The depressed condition of the lumber trade in British Columbia, where many of the largest mills were closed down for several months, had a tendency to keep wages within reasonable bounds. The wages which had been ruling in Ontario and Quebec were regarded by the lumbermen as too high, and at a meeting held in July last a resolution was adopted agreeing to ascale of wages of from $16 to $28 per month and board. On account of the lighter operations, work for the lumber jacks was less plentiful, and most of the firms succeeded in obtaining a sufficient number of men at the scale agreed upon. The average wages for the season was about $26 for axemen, as com- pared with $30 to $32 in the previous winter. Teamsters were paid $30, which was $5 less than in the season of 1903-4. These wages also ruled to a large extent in the Maritime market. Provinces. ‘‘Jumpers” were a less frequent cause of annoyance the past winter. Apparently, the punishment inflicted upon some of the offenders has been effective in mitigating the evil. Most of the operators adopted a stringent form of agreement to be signed by the work- men, which, among other things, provides that no allowance of time will be made to the men while off work during inclement weather. It is not anticipated that there will be any advance in the wages of woodsmen for the coming season, although as the hiring of men will not commence for a couple of months, it is yet too early to speak with assurance. If the volume of operations should be materially increased, it would probably be reflected.in a higher labor market. GROCERIES AND PROVISIONS. Prices of supplies for the lumber camps, such as barrelled beef and pork and general pro- visions, are on a higher basis than one year ago, when lumbermen were able to purchase their supply of pork in particular upon very favorable terms and at a decline of about $6 per barrel as compared with the spring of 1903. There has been a natural reaction from this low price. The advance has been about $1 on barrelled beef and pork, 30 cents on mess pork, and 50 cents per cwt. on live hogs. Current prices in Toronto on packing house products as compared with the corresponding time in 1904 are as follows : + 1904 1905 Shortcut Pork.......... $17.00 19.50 Shoulder Shortcut....... 15-00 16.00 Heavy Mess Pork.....-- 15-00 16,00 Long Clear Bacon.....- 8 9% Short Clear Middles..... 1% 8 Medium Smoked Hams.. 12 to12% 12 to13¥% Heavy Smoked Hams... 10 toll 10% to 12 Smoked Breakfast Bacon 12% 12 to13% Lard, tierceS.........+ 8 to8% 9 to 9% The trade conditions in general seem to be quite satisfactory and the packers look for a continued good demand at prevailing prices. The inflated prices which have ruled for wheat during the past year have been re- sponsible for an advance in the value of flour. As compared with a year ago, prices are near- ly one dollar per barrel higher. It is doubtful, however, whether these prices will hold, as the winter wheat crop is progressing very favor- ably, and, given satisfactory growing weather during the next two months, an abundant yield will be assured. Taking the general line of groceries, prices are somewhat higher than one year ago. Such articles as sugar, molasses, dried apricots and peaches, canned tomatoes and white beans show a substantial advance, sugar represent- ing the greatest increase. The present whole- sale price of No. 1 yellow sugar is about $5, as compared with $3.65 in the spring of 1904. This commodity still shows an upward ten- dency, as recently two of the Canadian refin- ers advanced their prices. The latest Euro- pean cables indicate a firm and higher market for beet sugar. Cuba, which earlier in the season was expected to give a crop of 1,200,- ooo tons, reports that developments are such that the production will fall 100,000 tons short of this figure. Prices of syrups have remained almost sta- tionary, but in some kinds of molasses fluctua- tions have been very wide during the past twelve months. The price of West India mo- lasses, for instance, is to-day 12 to 14 cents per gallon higher than it was a year ago. Whether or not these extreme prices can be maintained it is difficult to say, though all re- ports indicate a short crop throughout the West Indies. It is the opinion of the import- ers, however, that this grade of molasses is above its market value and that unless prices recede the consumption will be much less than it would be at a more normal figure. The cheaper grades of molasses have not advanced as much as the Barbados product, but the grades usually used in the lumber camps are worth from five to ten cents per gallon more than they were last spring and are likely to continue to sell at these figures. There continues to be a heavy consumption of canned goods by the lumber jacks and large quantities of pork and beans went into the camps last winter. These goods are packed in what are known as 2’s and 3’s tins, and are ‘pies, in consequence of which there is a the ‘price ‘of white beans ha than 25 per cent., the canned article sold at about the same price as last se namely, $1 per dozen for 3’s tins. “ta Another line that is becoming more popula every year in lumber camps is jams, whic usually packed in pails containing from vi pounds each, the prevailing price being 2 7 cents per pound, which is somewhat h than last year owing to the advance in price of sugar and to the scarcity of fruits the past season. oe The lumber jacks have a special fondne demand for canned apples, peaches, These goods are packed in water in I cally sealed cans and are preferable dried article, being scarcely distin from the fruit in its natural state.

One year ago. the various grades of raisins ranged to 10 cents per pound, as ‘compared with to 8 cents at the present time. i $ Pe.

Peavies and cant h« not suffer from this condition and were in demand. may Pa Prices of logging appliances show an 1p) tendency. Axes have been advanced 5; , per dozen on full polished and double brands. All classes of steel goods, such as sleigh shoeing and general blacksmith’s sup- plies, have also been marked up. Other lines, such as saws, hammers, wedges, mauls, etc., have remained stationary, but these will almost surely advance in price following the rapid rise in steel. The lines just mentioned have been unwarrantably low for the past months on account of severe American com- petition. The prices of peavies, cant hooks, and axe handles for the coming season have not been arranged, bnt it is altogether likely that these lines also will be advanced in a slight degree. The ruling prices of camp stoves and ranges are identical with those of eighteen one year ago, and as far as local conditions in Canada are concerned, there seems no good reason why there should be any change during the present year. On account of the brisk demand for lumber, the outlook for manufacturer’s of logging tools is bright. If the general prosperity of the coun- try, should continue unimpaired, the production of logs in the winter of 1905-6 will doubtless be larger than during the. past winter, with a consequent increase in the consumption of lumbering appliances. HORSES AND THEIR SUPPLIES. The value of horse-flesh has not depreciated during the past year. general trade and the continued prosperity of the country has caused the prices of good draught horses to advance, and while it has encouraged breeders to go on raising horses and improving their quality, there seems to be little likelihood of prices being lower in Cana- da. Atjthe present time the average price of working horses is probably higher in Canada than in any other country, and when it is con- sidered that we have practically no export The great increase in trade, this speaks well for the prosperous con- THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 17 price, this is offset by the higher cost of oats.

COST OF LOGGING OPERATIONS IN THE MARITIME PROVINCES. (By Our St. John Correspondent.) In making a comparison of the cost of log- ging operations in the Maritime Provinces of the season just ended and that of 1903-4, it is found that the changes in prices in all the most important lines have been in favor of the operator. The most decided change has been in that most important factor, the woodsmen, wages of the In the winter of 1903-4, chop- CANADIAN LUMBER CAMPS—MEN’S SLEEPING CAMPS, dition of things. General purpose horses from 1,300 to 1,600 pounds are worth about $160. Buyers of this class are easily found at figures which two or three years ago would have been considered phenomenal. From present indica- tions, lumbermen should figure on having to pay about ten per cent. advance this season on horses suitable for their work. - The cost of feeding a horse is about the Same as One year ago. While hay is lower in pers in the camps on the St. John river and its tributaries were paid from $30 to $32 per month and teamsters from $22 to $25. Dur- ing the winter just past choppers were plenti- ful at from $25 to $27 and teamsters at a slightly lower figure. The explanation of this substantial differ- ence is simply that men of the stamp required were less in demand on account of the cur- tailment in the volume of contracts. What will paid in the fall of year. 1903 be paid this Horses were more plentiful last fall than was the case a year earlier and consequently somewhat cheaper. Horses such as sold for $200 at the earlier date could have. been bought at any time during the fall of 1904 or the ensuing winter for $175, but prices are a little higher this spring. Camp provisions also showed some impor- tant changes in price, but on the whole it might be said that in this line the reductions were offset by the advances.

The first thing to be considered in camp life is the cutfit. Considerable judgment and experience are required to make up a proper outfit. More often campers err in having too much than two little. The lightest weight possible, consistent with what is ab- solutely necessary, is the great desideratum in an out- fit. Overcoats, too much underclothing, heavy sleeping bags, etc., should be avoided ifa party want to travel expeditiously and easily. For summer work the following kit is all that is necessary on a timber exploration for a party of three persons. A light cotton drill tent, wedge shape, 7x7 and 7% or 8 feet high, built with sleeves at each gable for the ridge pole to project through, so that the sup- porting crutches will be placed outside. This form of tent is preferable to others owing to the ease and quickness with which it can be pitched, while its sharp pitch sheds rain remarkably well. Light cotton drill is lighter than heavy canvas and should be chosen for summer trips. Three axes, two small and one larger, gives each man a tool to use when required to expedite pitching the camp, in cutting. out portages, reblazing lines, etc. The cookery should. consist of one frying pan, one tea or coffee pail, two larger pails (all of heavy tin) for cooking pork, beans and food generally, 1 folding reflector or baker, 3 knives and forks, 3 tin plates, 3 tin cups, 2 medium sized tin basins, and one large tin basin, also you should have four pairs of good grey blankets, 3 knap-sacks or canvas packing cloths. While some white men would prefer the knap-sacks with shoulder straps, others (notably In- dians and Hudson Bay men) always use the tump line and packing cloth or blanket. I prefer a pack done up in a canvas pack- ing cloth with tump line, after the Indian fashion. This form makes up the most com- plete form of pack obtainable, and gives one the camp clothes to use on the bed, or as extra shelter for grub or anything re- quiring to be sheltered during rain. One good Peterboro canoe 16 ft. by 31 or 32 in. beam and 12 in. deep, with 3 paddles, will carry three men and their complete outfit. Each man should have one change of flannel underclothes, one pair of good heavy shoe-packs or larrigans and 3 or 4 pairs of good woollen socks, an old hat, but no change of coat or pants. This dunnage can be stowed in a seamless cotton bag, which, with his coat, can ne used asa pillow. Anything more than the above men- tioned clothing would be unnecessary, and simply in- crease the weight of packs. Each man requires a jack knife and pocket compass, tobacco and pipe of course included, also a match-box. The chief usually supplies an awl, some wax-ends or hemp, thread and needles,» buttons and two or three whet stones and a file. This outfit with provisions included should carry a gang of three men anywhere throughout this north country, with a great degree of comfort during the canoeing season. Provisions are something which vary in quality and quantity very much with different men, or when in dif- ferent localities. When near some source of supply where you can replenish, little need be carried at a time, and more luxuries can be indulged in. Some men, even when on comparatively long time trips, will carry a lot of canned goods, along with a heavy general outfit. This means very heavy work on portages, with often the addition of an extra canoe, and entails loss of time. For a trip of say one month, I usually provide 90 Ibs. flour and go Ibs. bacon, with about 4% bushel beans, 5 lbs. tea, 5 Ibs. coffee, 10 lbs. sugar, baking powder, pepper and salt, soap, towels, pearline and 5 lbs. rolled oats; your cook can carry a gun and some fish- ing tackle if he knows how to use them. Variety is thus added to the bill of fare and considerable sport also enjoyed. Such an outfit provisioned as IT have described would mean a weight for the canoe of about goo pounds, including the three men. Of course, in the stock yards of the Government Game Preserves fr esh meat is often obtained, particularly when in season, and when in good condition it is sometimes taken a little out of season. For a winter outfit the canoe would be exchanged for two or three good toboggans (the Duchess are the best), also a wall tent about 10x10 with 2% ft. walls, a camp stove of 15 to 17 lbs. weight, a good pair of snow shoes for each man, and 5 pairs of blan- kets. The camp stove is a very important article, and various opinions are held as to the best description for the purpose. ‘There are folding stoves of many differ- ent makes, with telescope pipes, etc. Some have ovens and others are without them, each kind having its admirers. For my part I use a solid made stove, with straight 4 in. pipes with one elbow so that my pipes lead out through the tent front, and an oven which i$ hung on the ‘side of the stove when in use, with the open side next the stove. The pipes pack up inside the stove. This I find is so air-tight that it holds fire far longer than any folding stove, giving heat at night without having to be replenished so often, never smokes, and can be set up more quickly. The pipes need cleaning less often, and its weight is less than that of a folding stove. The advantage gained in bulk when a stove is folded counts for very little. The solid made stove can be set up and a fire built in it | (13. BuILDINGZDAMS FOR LOGGING PURPOSES. while a man is taking the kinks out of a folder to get it hooked together, and it is generally a cold-finger job at best. Carry your pipe with an elbow through the end of the tent and no sparks will ever put ventilators through the roof, and a spark arrester or screen is unnecessary. The winter tent in front of an open fire is now nearly a thing of the past with bushrangers. During the coldest and most stormy night that may come you are comfortable and enjoy your pipe sitting in atent witha stove. One undresses down to shirt sleeves, pants and socks, and by the light of a wax candle can pass the time until bed time with cards, smoking and story telling. At ‘such a time the open tent and outside fire is not in it. Cutting the wood for an open fire in winter is a work of very great labor, as compared with the few sticks required for a stove. A pound or two of good wax candles should always be taken on a winter trip. LOCATING A CAMP. Wood, water and feathers (balsam boughs) are the main essentials required for a good camp. - Look over- head and see if any standing timber or limbs are in danger of falling on your tent, and avoid such a location. If in winter, select a nice sheltered spot where the wind won't get a sweep at you. If the snow is deep, first have all hands on their snow shoes tramp a spot large enough for tent and door yard, until the snow will almost carry without your snow shoes on, then spread some fair sized balsam boughs over the snow, and proceed to pitch the tent. It is usually the best plan to peg down the four corners first, then run the ridge pole through and raise it up, securing it to the proper height with the crotches on the outside of = Ae. >. . ¥,@. = * ) ‘ “4, % ‘ od eB; , te i “yerale te + za . = 7 the tent, then peg down the sides between t 1 and stretch out and fasten the side guys to the st sa Use no legs to the stove but drive four green stak eS down through the snow until they reach ground and are firm; on these stakes place the stove.

A 6 or 7 inch log should then be placed across the tent about 18 inches from the stove, inside of this pole you proceed to make a good — comfortable bed of balsam, hemlock or spruce boughs, placed shingle fashion with the tips toward the head, — in such a manner as all bush rangers know how to do when a nice comfortable and healthy bed is required. A 10 ft. tent with a toboggan placed along one side makes a place for all your provisions and cookery Then with two armfuls of wood behind the stove you can close up shop, light your candle and go in for co = fort in the bush. rt CHOOSING YOUR MEN. = a It is not always easy to procure men suitable for your work, You may find a man from some town — who will be recommended as a first class canoeman. — He may be all that is required to handle a canoe in o still water or on lakes, and capable of guiding tourists } and fishing parties around waters which he know: ae but in swift waters and rapids he is out of his element x Besides he very often knows little or nothing of ordi - ary wood craft, and therefore becomes a burden to y on many occasions. If possible, look for your men’ the backwoods, orchoose those who have been brought up or spent a great deal of their time there. They are accustomed to handling an axe, canoe, or pack; and altogether I have always found — that class the best to choose from, they are contented with a lighter outfit, and seldom _ lose their reckoning when in the bush. An Indian is always good on his own huntin. she ground, and is very capable of packing and handling and keeping his bark canoe in good shape. Outside of his own country I prefer — the white man. A green hand should never be taken unless you are willing to put up 3 with great inconvenience and appoint your- self his tutor in matters of woodcraft. I once took a good canoeman— ¢ who came to me in the bush after I had been located. He brought a personal kit with — : him composed of enough ammunition for aol deer hurting party—a rifle, half a dozen — mink traps, and enough tools, etc., to build — a Peterboro canoe. His kit made a heavy | pack by itself and was a constant source. of annoyance to me until I accidently drowned it in the river where it could not be re- covered. After that fortunate accident our packing became easier, and my worry ceased. Still his woodcraft ended when he got out of his canoe. I had another man highly recommended by his towns- people who was continually getting lost. In one of % his wanderings we spent two days hunting him up, and then had hard work to convince him that it was he who was lost and not the wigwam. I put another fellow on shore one day to follow the canoe (which was ‘ heavily laden) down the stream. He in some way — turned about and walked up-stream instead of down, — with’the result that we had to waste a few cartridges from our gun before he was recovered. He then con- — tended that the creek had changed its course and was _ running up-stream. Few bushrangers ever get fost. They may get too far away from camp sometimes to reach home that day, but they always know from the — waters and the topography of the country where to ‘find their camp, and are sure to turn up in time for a hearty meal the next morning. F ; t CANOES. i There is a great diversity of opinion among bus rangers as to the best description of canoes for a tri some prefer the Bark to any other. That the Bark lighter than the Peterboro of the same carry o capacity, and therefore easier to portage, is true. It may also be somewhat better in rough water, owing to its greater depth, but here I think its better qualities end. The Peterboro will stand more roughness, is — always free from leaks, can be mended quite as easily — and quickly as the Bark (with some pitch and can vas), and is faster. Ialways use, when possible, ae ~ ey a Fo apigl Wg f 5 ~ Res Ke Cae ee eS 4 a Spa ties S L — « -_ it with water to tighten it up. r) a - Peterboro, and I find that it generally has the pre- ference among bushrangers in Ontario. In New Brunswick, Maine, and down the Gaspe way, a long narrow dugout called a Perouge, is often used, also a large Gaspe canoe made of balm or whitewood about 20 to 24 ft. long, built lap streak with boards. These canoes are driven by two men with iron shod poles about 11 feet in length, one in each end, who pole up stream. They manage these canoes with a dexterity taught by long experience, and ina manner that the best canoe men in this part of Canada would be novices at. We can teach them to paddle, but we know nothing about poling. In rough and swift water they force these canoes through places where’ we THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 19 designated “land looking” in Michigan, and ‘‘cruising” in New Brunswick, Maine and Nova Scotia. It is also called ‘‘exploring’”’ here. The men who follow or engage in this business are usually those who have had a considerable experience in logging and general work in the lumbering districts; they thus bring a practical experience along with a fair general intelligence which enables them to arrive at a close approximation of of quantities and quality of the timber growing ona given area. The plans adopted vary according to locality and general conditions of the timber to be estimated. Sections of land are often paced off into half quarter and quarter-quarter sections. A good pacer will come out very close to the post, and nearly New BRUNSWICK SPRUCE LOGGING CAMP. would simply go ashore and carry around, Heavy and large Barks are also used in that country, mostly by the Indians, who are employed as guides by the salmon fishermen. Very fine canvas covered canoes are built in Maine and in some factories along the American side of the St. Lawrence. They are similar in size and general design to our Peterboros, and I have found them good in every respect, except that _ they are a trifle heavy. Peterboro is I think the home of the original Peterboro canoe, although they are now built all over this country, and this style of canoe is usually designated as a Peterboro canoe. A canoe builder in another town once told me of an experience he had with a buyer who wanted a Peter- boro canoe. During his bargaining for a canoe, which he was told was a Peterboro, he discovered that this builder had made it himself, and therefore promptly re- _ jected it, saying he wanted a regular Peterboro, made there, and no other would suit. The builder told him to call next day and he would have some in. He called -and bought a canoe of the builder's own make. He de- parted, satisfied that he had the real article, and to _ this day has never found his mistake. _ Canoes vary in weight from 40 to 80 lbs. and some- times are made as light as 2olts. The general purpose basswood painted canoe of about 16 ft. weighs about zo lbs. Any good man can carry one of these over a portage without much inconvenience ; basswood and cedar are the woods mostly employed. Cedar is near- ly always lighter than basswood but basswood will stand more hard usage, and has also a habit of break- ing in better form for repairs than cedar. The care of a canoe is something very often shamefully neglected. ‘ Never leave your canoe bottom upwards in the Sun, turn it bottom up at night and during rain-storms, keep it when not in use in a shady place, and never fill Paint should make any properly built canoe water-tight. Never scrape your canoe on rocks or stones when hauling out, and always take it out of the water when not using it. Whenever possible have your canoe floating when you _ enter or land from it, never rub the gunwale of your _ canoe when paddling; it is bad form, frightens the game, and injures the appearance of the canoe and paddle. Paint up every spring. By close atttention to the foregoing hints, an ordinary Peterboro will last for a good many years. There is now in this towna _ Peterboro which came from the shop of R. English 22 years ago; it is still on deck, and goes duck shooting _ every season. BUSH RANGING. “Bush ranging,” as we generally call it Ontario, is all bush rangers are very capable at this work. Areas of land are often computed from water bound- aries surrounding a block of timber. times counted. Different ways are adopted to arrive at quantities by different men; the figures obtained by the different rangers all bear a close affinity to each other, and sometimes are amazingly alike. Upon the reports of these men deals of great value are made. Rangers of experience enjoy the confidence of the lumbermen of the country to such an extent as to in- duce them to invest millions on their judgment as to timber limits. They have to stand a large amount of roughing and exposure, but usually become wedded to the life as closely as a sailor to the sea. Trees are some- Bushrangers often meet with strange, and some- > glad to get down from my cramped position and make lively tracks for camp, which I failed to reach until after dark. Moose, as a rule, will get out of the way, but if come upon suddenly in the fall of the year, the bulls will sometimes show fight. I would not advise a man, in the moose country, to use a moose call, unless he is loaded and prepared to shoot. I knew ot two men who were up the French River hunting ducks, and while they were up on shore having a smoke, they began to practice on a patent moose call which one of them had, the result of their practice being to bring a big bull charging down upon them so suddenly that they had barely time to reach their canoe and push from shore, Wolves as a rule are arrant cowards, and a shot will generally cause them to drop their tails between their legs and run. In. packs at night they gain courage and are then unwel- come visitors. As often as I have come across wolves I never had but one thrilling experience with them,and it was of such a desperate nature that for weeks afterwards I never thought of it without a shudder. Away back in the fifties wolves were plentiful in nearly every part of the Canadian lumber woods. At that time I was engaged in looking after two logging camps, and arrived at one of these camps at about noon. Leaving my horse and cutter at this camp I started over to the other on foot, intending to return in the late afternoon, a distance of three miles. I made the camp in good time but missed seeing the foreman, who did not come in until nightfall. As wolves were known to be somewhat plentiful, and my pistol was behind at the back camp, the foreman in- duced me to stop overnight. Inthe morning, just as day began to break, I started to return. Something impelled me to take a stake from a hay sleigh as I passed the stables. Being lightly clad and wearing moccasins I was in good shape for travelling. I made good time down the well beaten road until I struck the lake upon which the logs from our first camp were being dumped. It was getting light then, and al- though I heard wolves in the bush thought nothing of it until, upon looking around, I saw three or four dark forms moving out from the shore on to the lake in my trail. Then I realized that they were after me. In those days I was considerable of a sprinter, and in the height of my vigor as a young man. Seeing more dusky forms closing fast inon my track, I then be- gan the race of my life, and for life. As it was about BOATING CAMP SUPPLIES UP THE RESTIGOUCHE RIVER IN NEW BRUNSWICK. times startling adventures. I have known men to have been treed by wolves, but the writer was once treed by a bull moose. Mr. Moose came upon me so suddenly that I barely had time to shin up a birch tree, out of reach. He fairly reared up against the tree in his endeavor to reach me, struck at the tree with his fore feet and pawed up the ground about the tree until I almost began to think he was bent on uprooting it. His hair stood on end and his eyes blazed fiercely. The rascal kept me there for about two hours, when he heard a cow call, and then after giving me a last look of disgust started off on a trot. I had nothing with me but my little axe. Had it been a rifle we might have had a steak for supper. As it was, I was time for the first team to reach the dump, I made up my mind that if I could make there when it arrived, I should be safe. As Iran, I heard the feet of the pack thumping nearer and nearer, and in desperation I dropped off my mitts to get a firmer grip on the sleigh stake. Soon I heard a succession of growls and snarls, and on looking around saw that they had all stopped pell mell and were having a scrap over the mitts. This gave me alittle of a start and also an idea which I soon adopted by dropping my good fur cap. This ruse again stopped the pack for a short time and ‘enabled me to reach the log dump, but with no team in sight. Here with my mind made up that I was to be torn to pieces by these blood-thirsty animals, I o_o 20 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN placed my back to the end of a shore skidway of logs and began playing my sleigh stake back and forth with such energy and desperation as actually to keep the rascals at bay. Then I thought of my and two little children at home in their comfortable beds, unconscious of my terrible doom. I prayed for my for the lead- ing team to come ; for anything to escape the horrible doom that I felt must soon overtake me. The brutes were getting fiercer and fiercer, their hair on end, eyes wife pistol, that I carelessly had left bebind ; snapping, and frothing like demons at the mouth. I never shall forget that fight. I hit one on the foot and made him howl like a whipped cur, and one fellow that appeared to be the leader I gave a bat on his jaw which made it hang down (broken, I think), but all the time I was wearing out my strength very fast, and just as I began to waver in my defence I heard the joyful sound of bells. The wolves heard it at the same time, and backed off a bit. Then I heard the word ‘‘who” as the leading team came down the grade Then rush at my foes and fell headlong on the ice as the to the dump, and knew I was saved. I madea pack slunk off across the lake, and the teamster and dumper picked me up, utterly unable to speak a word. long time before I could efface the vicious appearance of those six wolves from my thoughts. It was a I was camped on a bend of the Upsquitch river in New Brunswick at one time, and as our party of three cruisers were engaged eating our dinners beside the tent fire, a big bull moose suddenly thrashed down on us before he saw the tent. It rather startled him, and he was wheeling to beat a retreat when a gust of Mr. Moose must have thought this a challenge to fight, for “he in- stantly charged the tent, planting both fore feet on it, and bearing everything down. Then he walked over it, and finding no more hostile demonstrations coming, he walked off about 20 rods and stopped to look back at his late foe. That was his last stop, as by this time our whole camp (which had rushed for safety to the nearest trees) had recovered their fright. The rifle soon came out from under the fallen tent and for a long time thereafter we had fresh moose meat. It wind threw open the front of the tent. took us half a day, and used up nearly all the thread in camp, to repair the tent. Foreigners are often too prone to think that the backwoods of Canada is so full of wild animals that bears, wolves,. lynx, moose, cariboo, deer, etc., can be met with at any time. The fact is they are most difficult to find, and one need not be loaded for bear to travel safely all over our Northern wilds. I had a hard experience on the River Gounamity in New Brunswick some few years ago, and left my outfit there in evidence. Along witha Frenchman and an outfit of two pairs of blankets, toboggan, and some grub sufficient for four days, we had crossed on snow shoes about twenty-five miles over the country from the lumber camp where our horse and rig had been left. The snow shoeing was fairly good and we had made the river in about time to camp for night and decided to cross to what appeared a nice camping ground on the opposite side. There was an ice bridge directly opposite where we were, but both above and below the river was open and very rapid. We had our snow shoes off and I crossed over safely with the shoes and my little axe, and told my man to come along with the toboggan. He started and got just in the middle of the stream when the ice gave away and he and to- boggan went in, he let his Toboggan go to save himself, when the ice gave away in the bridge below him and away went toboggan and our grub and_blan- kets. to his neck; then we found ourselves in After considerable trouble I got him ashore wet a bad fix. We could not find our toboggan, had no grub except a small bag of tea which in the packing up after noon meal had been neglected, and which I had put in my coat pocket. Luckily my matches were dry, so we made a big fire and danced around it all night to dry our clothes. We tried smoking instead of eating for our suppers but found it hardly up to the mark. To make matters worse, it began to rain during the night, and by the morning the snow-shoe travelling was hor- rid. We started in the early dawn to get back to the lumber camp with the snow sinking a foot or so at every step, after having crossed the river on a tree which we fell lower down, Then came the tug of war, my man was continually lamenting our sad fate, saying _ we would meet the fate of a surveyor who the previous season had failed to get out of the bush, although he was a stronger man than I. He had to be encouraged and coaxed along or he would have given up in dis- couragement. We took turns in breaking the track and at noon had not made more than six or eight miles. We made a cosseau of birch bark and by heat- ing small stones tried to make tea by putting them in the water, but it was a sorry affair. We made dinner on it and after a smoke started again on our fear- ful tramp. The rain continued all day and we were wet to the skin. At night we reached the Restigouche River, only to find it all open and the ice rushing down in furious form. We camped on its banks by the side of a good fire, and no rain that night. By this time our pipes had lost their charm, and smoking became impossible. We slept well and in the morning our hopes revived, as it had frozen a bit, and the travel- ling would be good until noon, if we could only man- age to cross the river. After a couple of hours of the hardest work I ever engaged in, we managed to fasten three cedar logs together and cross the stream, land- ing about a quarter of a mile lower down. We felt al- right then, although hardly able to drag one foot after the other. By noon we reached the camp, having eaten nothing since noon two days before. We made a great hole in the cook’s provisions, luckily without injury to ourselves, and both slept until well on in the night. That was a longer fast than I was used to, and don’t care to ever repeat, and the Gounamity still has possession of my camp kit. A foreigner was once being taken up the mountain near Montreal by a Scotchman acquainted with the country. In the course of their ramble they came across a snow-shoe track. The foreigner expressed great surprise at such a monstrous track and inquired what beast had made it. The Scotchman, in dry humour, told him it was the track of the animal called the Great Cinadian ‘‘Snau Sho”. In the stranger insisted upon returning at once, as he had left his heavy rifle at the hotel. The Indians, it is said,often leave an old person in the woods to die. Such a case I once came across up at the headwaters of the Gatineau river. One very cold February, I found myself up the river on the Fox River Branch, and came across two snow-shoe tracks, also a dog and apparently a small toboggan track. We examined it, as is always customary, and came to the decision that some Indians must be camped in the neighborhood, but we wondered why we had never before come upon their tracks. Upon returning to our camp near evening we found these tracks again, and this time following in on our morning trail. Shortly after, when about half a mile from camp, we came upon the party of the tracks, an old woman said to be a cen- tury old, a small boy and a yellow dog. They were getting ready to camp for the night. They had a hole dug in the snow over 4 ft. deep and about 4 ft. in diameter, with a cotton sheet spread over the top, some spruce brush on the bottom for a bed, and alittle wood ready for a fire. The old woman was dressed in a grey cloth coat, red sash and tuque, with rabbit skin leg- gans, and with a cane in one hand and a small dry spruce under the other arm, was lugging up the wood which the boy had cut for their night’s fire. The boy had a suit of rabbit skin. Their total outfit consisted of a cotton cloth about six feet square, a small frying pan without a handle and a small tin pail and axe. This outfit the boy carried on a sort of a toboggan made out of a beaver’s skin stretched on hoops. Their provisions consisted of about half a lake trout, partly smoked. One of my men spoke Indian, and from the old woman learned that her people had gone off in the fall in their canoes and left her to do as best she could dur- ing a cold hard winter. They had been able to snare partridges and rabbits during the fore part of winter, but latterly this source of supply had failed and they were forced to make their way out to the Indians living on the Gatineau, or starve. The old woman was the oldest looking person I ever saw, almost the color of a mummy, and although bent nearly double, must at one time have been a remarkably large woman. Their rate of travel per day had been only about three miles, as we afterwards found, and their camps formed simply by a hole in the snow. How they ever existed terror through that cold weather was a mystery—it was a J experience that would have tried the most robust man. — We took them down to our camp, in an old lumber camp, and made their hearts glad with pork, tea and tobacco, and a good comboose fire to camp beside. The next morning we loaded up the boy’s toboggan with grub and started them off happy, and with stomachs filled to overflowing. I am glad to say that they reached their destination, and had revenge on their people by not dying in the bush that winter. MODERN SAW MILL EQUIPMENT. Mr. I. N. Kendall, the well-known designer and _ builder of saw mills and saw mill machinery, has es- tablished an office at 203 Bridge street, Ottawa, and is " having the machines of his own invention and design built under his personal supervision, so that when a — machine is turned out he will be in a position to guar- antee it to be correct in every particular. He intends to sell his inventions direct to the trade. His special machines at present consist of variable gang circular, improved resaw, steam nigger, hog, pulp chipper, a improved valve for niggers and log loaders. 4 In his work as a practical millright during the last _ twenty years, Mr. Kendall has had occasion to install — and operate a great many different makes of ‘‘ Hogs.” om 2 With all of them the great objection he found was the ae “Hog” MANUFACTURED By I. N.~KENDALL, OTTAWA. amount of power required to operate them. T over- come this objection, he designed the machine re- presented by the accompanying illustration. The spout leading to the knives is not at right angles to the disc wheel, but is swung in at the top towards the centre of the wheel until it makes an angle of 65 degrees with the disc instead of 90 degrees. Inthe throat of this spout next the wheel a square recess is made in which are fitted two tool steel blocks, tempered as hard as fire and water can make them. In turning round, the knives in the disc wheel pass these steel blocks just as closely as possible without actually touching. This gives a shearing cut and is the principal reason these machines are so successful in cutting thin stuff, such as” lath and planing mill refuse. A machine with a wheel 60” diameter, or 20” larger than the one in the illustration, has been in operation in a saw mill in Newfoundland for the last three years, cutting slabs and edgings into fuel chips. This machine has been driven for the three years by an 8” 3-ply rubber belt, the same belt having been in constant use for the three years, and apparently it is in fit condition for several years more. This is satisfactory proof that the machine does not require much power to operate it. Mr. Kendall is also prepared to furnish plans and estimates for the building of new mills or the rearrang- ing of old ones and will also design and furnish any special saw or pulp mill machinery that may be re- quired. His announcement will be found in this issue. W. C. Feindel, of Middleton, N. S., has branched out into the manufacture of lumbermen’s peavies and is said to be producing a superior article, ee HARDWALL PLASTER. duction of hardwall plaster took place in this country, but though so recent, it now bids fair to completely oust the old lime plaster from its position in the building trade. Americans have for many years been familiar with the new material and lime is seldom used now in Uncle Sam’s dominions, and itis to them that we are indebted for our first know- ledg of it here. _* Gypsum, from which hardwall plaster is _ made, occurs only in isolated locations and Z only in a few of the states of the union has it been found. In Canada the same holds true, and the known deposits of gypsum can be counted on the fingers of one hand. ‘The deposits owned by the Manitoba Gyp- sum Company are probably the most extensive in the Dominion, and the company claim the quality to be superior to anything south of the line. These extensive deposits were known | many years ago as mica, from the resemblance to that article of a crystalized form of some of the gypsum, but owing to their distant situa- tion between Lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba, north of Lake St. Martin, they lay for years untouched. It was only when the use of hard- _ wall plaster began to be appreciated that some enterprising spirits thought of using them, and about three years ago they came into the ‘eae _ possession of the Manitoba Union Mining : _ Company. This company built a plaster mill “ at the head of Portage Bay, Lake Manitoba, and puta steamer on the lake to transport the yroduct to Westbourne Landing. _ Although handicapped in many ways, this company was able to prove the value of its _ gypsum as a first-class hardwall plaster pro- ducer and put an article on the market that was aclose competitor to American plaster. In the able hands of prominent contractors, Manitoba hardwall plaster has been used on many of our best buildings, among which it is sufficienttomention the Union Bank, Merchants ~s _ Bank, and the new C.P.R. station, Winnipeg. ‘| Last fall the Manitoba Gypsum Company bought out the Manitoba Union Mining Com- B, pany, and have made such extensive changes — Mio the plant that the output for the coming year will far exceed that of the old company, ‘ ee in quantity and quality. The capacity of Py the mill has been increased from 30 tons daily to 180 tons. The steamer used by the old re. company has been completely overhauled and er capacity doubled, and anew twin screw steamer up-to-date in every way is in course of construction. A tramway from the mill to le quarries is being built and everything that ‘ean be done is being done to make the busi- ness a success. a “Mr. D. E. Roberts, of the Plymouth Gypsum ~ Company, of Fert Dodge, is in charge of the _ manufacture, and as he is one of the ‘most experienced plaster _ the trade are assured that the goods put on the market by the Manitoba Gypsum Company will be "first-class. - Wood-fibre plaster, the latest development in hardwall plaster, will also be a prominent feature of the company’s production. 7 Senes Bite plaster, from the fact that it can ‘| ° *, Rn: “> = 7 a ly men, “i; It is only about three years since. the intro-| THE CANADA LUMBERMAN | 21 be used without sand, will probably recom- mend itself to those living in parts of the country where sand is scarce, but apart from this, it will be more and more largely used on account of the very fine, hard and tough wall it is capable of making, and also from the fact that it makes a wall that of sound. All Canadians are interested in seeing the products of their own country developed, and in the enterprise of the Manitoba Gypsum Com- pany, there is the assurance that a Canadian industry is being developed in a way that its product ought to meet a ready demand from the building trades, and all the company asks is a non-conductor is a fair field and no favor. The company say they propose to offer Canadian goods to buyers at a price that non- Canadian goods cannot touch. PERSONAL, Mr. Frank B. Gould has been appointed superin- tendent of Tanner Bros’. Ont.

This will add to their already rapidly growing business in circular saws, which they manufacture from 12” to 60” in diameter. The extensive business of Woods, Limited, of Ottawa, has rendered their factory and warehouse ac- commodation inadequate, and work was commenced during the past month on another new building on Slater street. It will be 7ox2z10 feet, seven stories and basement, of fireproof construction and containing the most modern equipment. The Canadian Pacific Railway have placed with Allis-Chalmers-Bullock, Limited, Montreal, an order for four Lidgerwood 25-ton pull Rapid Unaloaders. Among modern devices for reducing the cost or rail- way construction the Rapid Unloader takes a leading place. Itis a compound geared winding engine of two sizes—25-ton pull and 60-ton pull—mounted on ordinary flat cars and supplied with steam from the locomotive. The engine of the smaller size just pur- chased by the C,P.R. has double 1oxr2” cylinders, is capable of exerting a direct pull on the cable of 25 tons and of drawing in the same at the rate of 125 ft. per minute. The drum is 41” diameter and is grooved for 1” cable. This new device is in strong contrast to the old method of drawing the plow by use of loco- motives. enough to pull the train. The Canadian Pacific Railway have already fifteen of these machines in operation— It can be operated by any locomotive strong one of them working at Westmount unloads a train of twenty-five standard flat cars in nine to ten minutes. A PAYING SIDE LINE FOR LUMBERMEN. F. W. Bird & Son, East Walpole, Mass., man- ufacturers of the celebrated Paroid Roofing and Neponset Waterproof Papers, are erecting a factory in Hamilton to take care of their growing Canadian business. For nearly a century this concern has been making papers and felts at their factory in East Wal- pole, Mass., and they now have thousands of dealers all over the country and abroad handling their goods. Paroid is known as the roofing of quality and it promises to have the same success in Canada as it has had in the States. A large percentage of the lumber- men in the States handle Paroid as a side line, and it will pay every lumberman to get their proposition immediately, for they are soliciting new dealers and someone is going to make a profitable side line in every section. Paroid can be used in places where shingles cannot and it does not conflict in any way with the lumberman’s business. Address F. W. Bird & Son, Hamilton, Ont. The Imperial Paper Mill Company are building a sulphite mill in connection with their plant at Sturgeon Falls, Ont. They expect to have it in operation dur- ing the coming fall. An effort is about to be made on some of the streams ~to recover ‘‘ dead-head”’ timber, which amounts to a considerable value. The ‘‘ rear sackers"’ have always lost a certain percentage, which went to dead-heads, and an effort will be made to recover a large propor- tion of these sunken logs. Mr. J. C. Graham, the popular and well-known manager of the Prairie Lumber Company, Winnipeg, has severed his connection with this company and will take an extended trip. The office staff and agents of the different yards of the company felt that they could not allow the opportunity to pass without in some tan- gible manner showing their appreciation and sincere regard for him and presented him with two valuable pieces of beautiful cut glass. This was more than the warm heart of Jack Graham (his familiar title) expect- ed, and the surprise left him speechless, but like the well-known lumberman that he is, he rallied to the occasion, and in a few well-chosen words heartily thanked them for the selection of a present, of which both he and Mrs. Graham would be proud. : THE CANADA LUMBERMAN sow THE Ganada Lumberman AND WOOD-WORKER (Monthly and Weekly Editions—One Dollar Per Year.)

A rather unusual case of interest to lumber- men has just been decided by the Trial Court at Ottawa, the question in dispute involving the insurance of standing timber. were the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the defendants the Ottawa Fire Insur- ance Company. In consideration of the pay- ment of certain premiums, the Ottawa Fire Insurance Company agreed to insure the C.P.R. against loss or damage caused by locomotives to property located in the State of Maine, not including that of the assured, or upon land owned, leased or operated by the assured. On May 11th, 1905, fire was communicated from one of the plaintiffs’ locomotives to cer- tain standing timber in the State of Maine whereby it was damaged to the extent of $10,000 and upwards. The owners made claims upon the C.P.R. to the amount of their loss and settlement was effected by the pay- ment of $9,698.94. The C.P.R. then sought to recover the amount, under their policy, from the Insurance Company, who denied all liability on the ground that they had no power under their charter to insure the property so des- troyed or damaged or to indemnify plaintiffs in respect thereof. The Act under which the Insurance Company was authorized to carry on business reads as ‘‘Every company licensed and regis- tered for the transaction of fire insurance may, follows : within the limits prescribed by the license and registry, insure or reinsure dwelling houses, stores, shops and other buildings, household furniture, merchandise, machinery, live stock, farm products and other commodities against damage or loss by fire or lightning.” The de- fendants contended that their rights as above specified did not extend to standing timber, while the plaintiffs held that, if such be the case, they were entitled to recover the sum of $21,000 paid as premiums, with interest, It The plaintiffs — was shown that the defendants never insured or assumed to insure standing timber on any other location, and the learned judge limited the meaning of the word ‘‘property” to the classes of property defined by the Act. He therefore ruled that the plaintiffs were not en- titled to recover for the loss sustained nor for the premiums which had been paid. As affect- ing the latter, it was decided that the policy was a valid one and that the plaintiffs had been fully insured and indemnified against claims for loss or damage to such property as defendants had power to insure. It was argued that the railway passes through a wooded country where the loss must chiefly be that of standing timber, but upon the trial it was shown that there was more than $500,000 worth of property along the line that would fall within the class of property which defendants might insure under their statutory powers. THE ONTARIO TIMBER POLICY. It is expected that the Conservative party which recently attained power in Ontario will make an early announcement in respect to their timber policy, which, if.we may venture a guess, will not be radically different from that of the late government. It is believed that the plan proposed by the former Commissioner of Crown Lands, Hon. E. J. Davis, for the lum- bering of the forest reserves, will be practically adopted. This plan embodies the selling of the timber by the thousand feet as it actually matures, the trees to be cut to be designated by the employees of the government. Prob- ably on land suitable for agricultural purposes the present system of selling the timber by the square mile will be continued, as it permits of the land being quickly cleared and opened up for settlement. No great difficulties are likely to be en- countered by the new government in the fram- ing of acceptable regulations for the disposal of the timber. The problem demanding the most careful legislation will probably be found to be the defining of the rights of the lumber- man and the settler. A deputation represent- ing practically all the principal holders of tim- ber licenses in the province recently waited upon the Premier, the Commissioner of Crown Lands and the Commissioner of Public Works in this connection. Among other things they asked that government inspectors should be appointed to report upon the adaptability for settlement of localities situated within districts under timber licenses, and unless at least a fixed percentage of a township was found suit- able for cultivation, such lands should not be opened for settlement under the Free Grants and Homesteads Act, and, if already open, should be withdrawn; that twelve months’ notice . should be given when it was intended to open up land under timber licenses for settlement ; that locations included in the timber licenses bought at the sale in 1903 should not be open for settlement until the time allowed for taking off the timber had expired; and that greater attention should be paid by the government to the prevention of. fires and the exploration of the country. large measure supported by the Canadian ~ Forestry Association and may therefore be ; considered to be in the public interest. It is essential that the settlement laws of the country should place no unnecessary obstacle in the path of the settler, but it is equally essen- tial that settlers should be excluded from lands which are unfit for cultivation. The country will receive greater benefit by permitting the land to remain in timber than by allowing a — a settler to locate in the district, perhaps to — remain but a short time but long enough to be responsible for a fire which may destroy much valuable timber. ee The interview above referred to has brought forth an appeal in the Toronto World from a _ resident of the Parry Sound district signing : himself ‘‘ Settler.” Itis not difficult to read — between the lines that this settler fears that the government may adopt such regulations as will render it more difficult for the timber specu- lator to exploit his plans under the guise of = a bona fide settler. The Commission appointed + : by the Quebec Government to report on the oe question of the relations between the holders of timber licenses and the settlers found that there was no antagonism existing bie them except in the case of settlers who take up — public lands with the view of speculating on the timber, and we doubt if the situatioa te Ontario is very different. “= « < — UNJUST RULES FOR SHIPPING OF LUMBER. As if to relatiate upon the lumber trade for its agitation to compel the railroads to pro- perly and completely equip their cars for the reception and transportation of lumber, the Grand Trunk Railway Company have recently taken action towards the enforcement of new rules of a rather absurd character. We under-— stand that they are an exact copy of the rules adopted by the Car Builders’ Association, and the most objectionable clauses are as follows : No. 12. All stakes, clamping pieces, bearing pieces and braces must be sound, straight grained lumber (hardwood preferred) and free from knots that would materially impair their strength. (Hemlock must never be used.) Care must be taken to keep the stakes from spreading at the top while cars are being loaded, and — in no case must the load exceed the width of the car. Unless otherwise specified, stakes must not be less than four (4) inches wide by (5) inches deep, or saplings five (5) inches diameter at the centre, tapered at the ends to accurately fit, extend through and completely fill the stake pockets, which should not be less than three and one-half (3%4) inches wide by five (5) inches deep. No. 13. Opposite stakes must always be fastened together. When the specified fastening is by means of — boards,‘ there must be two boards for every pair of stakes, each board not less than one (1) by six (6) inches in section, unless otherwise specified, and fastened at each end by not less than three ten-penny wire nails. (Hemlock must never be used). When the specified fastening is by means of wire, the wire used, unless otherwise specified, must be equal to six strands : of three wrappings of No. 8 telegraph wire (or wire of 7 equal strength) and the wire must be secured to pre- vent it from slipping. No. 32. For flat cars and gondola cars with sides less than thirty (30) inches high, not less than four stakes four (4) inches by five (5) inches deep must be placed on each side of car and the tops of opposite stakes must be held together by two one (1) by six (6) inch boards fastened at each end by means of three ten-penny wire nails, or by six strands equal to three wrappings of No. 8 wire. Gondola cars with sides thirty (go) inches high or over, must have six stakes not less than three (3) inches wide by four (4) inches deep on each side of car and the tops of opposite stakes must be held together by two one (1) by six (6) inch boards fastened at each end by means of three ten- penny wire nails, or four strands equal to two wrap- pings of No. 8 wire. ‘ No. 33. When the length of lumber will permit, it must be similarly loaded in two piles with six stakes on each side of car. For flat cars and gondola cars with sides less than thirty (go) inches high, stakes must not be less than four (4) inches wide by (5) inches deep, and for gondola cars with sides thirty (30) inches in height and over, stakes must not be less than three (3) inches wide by four (4) inches deep in both cases secured as specified in Rule No. 32. No. 34. Lumber of equal widths must either be lapped or have strips across loads at intervals of not more than thirty (30) inches high, to act as binders. Orders were issued to agents at certain stations to enforce the new regulations, with the result that cars loaded in the old manner were not accepted by the railroad company. It is the universal opinion of the lumber trade that the restrictions are an imposition and entirely unnecessary. . Hemlock is used very largely for stakes at the present time, whereas the new rules specify that it must never be used and that all stakes must be sound, straight-grained lumber (hardwood : preferred). Such a specification will increase the cost of staking a car at least $3 over the old system. According to the desire of the Grand Trunk managenient, the shipper of lum- 4 _ ber must continue to provide the stakes, which he has no right to do, and at a largely in- ‘eased cost. But that is not the only hard- hip. The larger stakes and crossers that are Specified will weigh perhaps one thousand pounds, and.on this heavier weight the shipper must pay freight charges. It is difficult to conceive of any advantage to be! derived from the use of 4x5 stakes, inasmuch as these would have to be cut down _ to fit the present car pockets, which are about 3x3. ‘‘A chain is no stronger than its weakest _ link.” Wherein lies the philosophy of cutting - downa 4x5 stake, equal to 20 inches, to fit a hole about 3x3, equaltog inches? The break- ing point is at its weakest part, and if in- _ creased strength is desired, the railroads should have their cars equipped for 4x5 stakes. _ Why the width of crossers should be in- _ creased from four inches to six inches is as ~ much of a problem as the stake question. _ What the new regulations mean to lumber- . ‘men can best be shown by a few figures. _ Under the new system to stake a car would require 12 pieces 4x5, 12 feet long = 240 feet, and 12 pieces 1x6, 12 feet long =72 feet, or in all 312 feet of pine or hardwood, which at $15 per M. would be worth $4.68. To this must _” be added the cost of 72 nails and men’s time, ; "say 32 cents, making the total cost of staking _ a car $5. Under the old system, 12 pieces 2x4, 12 feet long =06 feet ; 6 pieces IX4=24 - feet, in all 120 feet of hemlock, at $12 per M. =$1.44; twelve 3 inch nails and men’s time, 16 cents, or a total of $1.60. Upon this basis the new rules would impose an additional ex- pense upon lumbermen of $3.40 for every car of lumber shipped. Now, as to the motive of the railway com- pany. The most reasonable supposition is THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 23 that the management desire to minimize the number of claims for lumber lost in transit. This suggests the question whether the insuf- ficient staking of the cars has been responsible for such losses as have occurred in the past, and to this a negative reply must be given. Is not the reckless manner in which freight is handled the real cause of the majority of claims made upon the railway company? We think so. The carelessness of the railway employees in shunting cars is common knowledge and many instances could be cited where stakes have been thus broken which were perfectly sound and could have been broken in no other way. A Toronto firm recently received a car of 18 ft. hemlock joisting piled in the centre of a 34 ft. car. This left eight feet of empty space on each end of the car, but when it was shunted into their yard the stakes were brok- en and the load shifted until the lumber struck the car in front of it, about ten feet from where it was originally loaded. another instance a flat car was shunted while in a lumber yard with such force that the lum- ber broke the end of a box car and the ship- pers were obliged to reload the car. Investi- gation will prove, we believe, that if the em- ployees would exercise greater care in shunt- ing, the 2 x 4 stakes which have been used in the past will amply meet the requirements. And if the shippers are to be compelled to fur- nish the stakes, why not secure something in the nature of a permanent equipment and have the railways provide some method of returning them to the shippers ? In Apropos of this subject, we learn that the Legislature of the State of Georgia enacted a law at last session providing that the railroad companies should equip their cars with stand- ards, and the Georgia Interstate Sawmill Asso- ciation have decided to institute proceedings to collect $1.50 from the railroads for every ‘car that the members have been obliged to equip since the enactment of the law. THE BRITISH COLUMBIA TIMBER LAWS, As intimated in the April number, the tim- ber laws of British Columbia have been altered in two important respects, this having been accomplished by amending the Land Act. The bill was introduced in the Legislature by Hon. R. F Green, Commissioner of Lands and Works, and did not become law without opposition. The amendments apply to timber licenses, and, in brief, provide that all special timber licenses which are now in force, or which have been applied for, or notice of which application had appeared in the British Colum- bia Gazette on or before the fifteenth day of April, 1905, shall be transferable and may be renewed each year for sixteen successive years. Heretofore, under the Land Act Amendment Act of 1903, licenses have not been transfer- able and were renewable yearly at the discre- tion of the Commissioner of Lands and Works and subject to such tax and royalty as the Government might impose. As the champion of the amendments, the Chief Commissioner contended that holders of special licenses had found much difficulty in obtaining the necessary accommodation from the banks to enable them to carry on their operations, and that the new provisions would improve the situation in this respect, as it made the licenses transferable and renewable. The argument advanced against the changes was that the proposed legislation would prove to be of greater benefit to the speculator than to the legitimate manufacturer. The concensus of opinion, however, was that the bill was a move inthe right direction, as it would do away with the double system of holding tim- ber lands which had caused so much confusion in the past. The timber laws of British Columbia have not been satisfactory for years, and if the present amendments should be the beginning of a more stable and definite policy in respect to their administration, they should be welcomed on all sides. That the lumber trade may know the exact purport of the amendments, we give the main clauses below : “3. Section 53 of the ‘“‘Land Act,” as enacted by section 8 of Chapter 3o of the statutes of 1903-4, is re- pealed and the following is substituted therefor :— “53. (1.) A special timber license for logging pur- poses shall not be granted fora larger area than six hundred and forty acres of land, which shall be in one block bounded by straight lines drawn to the cardinal points, none of which lines shall be less than forty (40) chains in length, except in cases where sucha length cannot be obtained; nor shall the license be granted for a longer period than one year, and the fees pay- able for such special license shall be as follows: For each license: West of the Cascade range, one hun- dred and forty dollars; east of the Cascade range and in the electoral district of Atlin, one hundred and ; fifteen dollars. “Such license may be granted at the discretion of the Chief Commissioner, and shall be subject to such tax and royalty as may be by this act, or from time to time by any act of the Legislature of the Province of British Columbia, imposed or reserved. Provided that the Chief. Commissioner of Lands and Works may, before granting any special license, offer the limits to public competition, when he has reason to believe that the public interests will be served by so doing. ‘(2.) All special timber licenses which are now in force shall be transferable and may be renewed each year for sixteen successive years, and the fees for each renewal of any such license shall be paid in advance, and shall be of the same amount as is now paid for such license: Provided that the right of such annual renewal shall not be acquired by holder of any license unless he shall, at the time of applying for the first renewal of his license, have given notice in writing to the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works of his intention to avail himself of the privileges of this clause. In addition to the royalty which is now reserved by section 58 of the Land Act, there shall be paid to His Majesty ten cents per thousand feet, board measure, upon and in respect to all timber suitable for spars, piles, saw-logs, railroad ties and props for mining pur- poses, cut and removed from lands comprised within any special license heretofore issued or coming within the scope of this sub-section. “(3.) All special timber licenses which may hereafter be issued shall be transferable and shall be renewable each year for twenty-one successive years. ‘“(4.) No licensee who elects to renew his license under the provisions of sub-section (2) of this section, and no person who takes out a license after the pass- age of this act, shall be allowed to cut or carry away any timber from off any such timber limit unless the said licensee has, at his own expense, had the land surveyed by a duly qualified Provincial Land Surveyor. The Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works may, however, at any time notify the holder of any special timber license to have the land covered by such license surveyed by a duly qualified Provincial Land Surveyor within a time to be mentioned in such notice, and if such land shall not be surveyed within such time, or within such further time as may be granted by the Chief Commissioner of :Lands ands.Works therefor, the holder of such license shall forfeit all his rights to the timber on said land, and such license shall become null and void.” a as) eli a 24 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN THE SAW MILL HAZARD IN NEW BRUNSWICK. By Peter Cuiincu, Secretary New Brunswick Board of Fire . Underwriters. My experience of steam saws mills is limited to the Province of New Brunswick, a rather small district, but one in which the manufacture of lumber is the principal industry. The mills in this Province are much smaller and very different from those in Western Canada, and this paper must necessarily be taken from a local standpoint. I have been inspecting mills for about twenty- -five years, at first only an occasional inspection, but this year about sixty mills have been dealt with. The steam saw mill of twenty-five years ago was a framed mill, with shingle roof, the boilers being in the main building, or in a framed boiler house attached. In most cases there was a good brick chimney. There were long shell boilers hung from wooden beams on iron rods. The furnaces were fed on top, and therefore between the boilers, and although the fuel was chiefly edgings, an immense quantity of sawdust had to be disposed of, and this was fed at the back ‘ends of the furnaces, and was frequently piled up until it reached the beams, sometimes being left to dry, there to be used in starting fires the next day. In this way it often ignited, and most of the mill fires were traced to that cause. These mills generally ran an old-fashioned gang, an edger and trimmer, a lath machine, and sometimes a shingle machine, but hardly ever a planer or box machine, though sugar shooks were sometimes made. These were nothing more or less than 14% in. rough boards, sawn the proper lengths. The surplus refuse had to be disposed of, and this was usually done in an open burner, from 200 to 500 feet distant from the mill, the edgings being conveyed by an endless chain to the fire, on a wooden conveyor, about 25 feet of the end next to the fire bene made of iron. These mills, as a rule, had no fire protection, except such as was supplied by a small steam pump in the engine room (which was also used for feeding the boilers, the hose generally disconnected), and by bar- rels of water distributed through the mill and on the roof. The lumber around the mills was principally spruce deals, and hardly ever burned even when the mills did. There was no space clause; that part of the continuous . pile within fifty feet of the mill paying mill rate, and that from fifty to 300 feet from the mill paying 2/4 per cent., with full average clause. These mills were rated from 6 per cent. to 7 per cent., and were, I believe, not profitable to the insurance companies. The lumber, however, yielded an immense profit. Such mills usually caught fire from the boiler house, the fire starting in the sawdust over the opening in the furnaces. They sometimes caught from hot journals and occasionally from torch lamps; but in my opinion the substitution of a detached fire-proof boiler house for the old-fashioned construction relieved the companies of more than one-third of the physical hazard. There was no such thing as a partial loss, except when a very small fire occurred on the roof. There area good many such mills still sawing lumber in this Province, but they are gradually being replaced by a mill built under the Board Schedule. Before may say that about one-fifth of the lumber cut Has, referring to the better class of new mills, I during the last few years, been manufactured by port- able mills, which are not, as a rule, insured, but which leave a great deal of refuse behind them, from which fires frequently occur. The lumber sawn by these mills is strewn along the lines of branch railways, and though it consists principally of spruce deals, calls for a higher rate than lumber froin 50 to cent. mill. This portable mill business has been rather unprofit- able to the lumbermen engaged in it, and I believe that not one-half as much will be cut by them in the future 300, from a 6 per as has been in the past. A number of years ago a committee of the New Brunswick Board drew up and adopted a mill schedule, *Paper read before the Insurance Institute of Montreal. a copy of which is attached to this paper. It is not al- together original, and it is not claimed that it is the best schedule in use —in fact, it has been altered and revised a number of times, and may be again. It has, however, had a good effect on the mill business, as viewed by the insurance agent. There has been a steady improvement in the construction of the mills since its adoption, though at first it only applied to new mills. One mill owner who was spoken to in regard to mill fires, and who was of the opinion that every steam saw mill burned sooner or later, said, ‘‘A man dies and a mill burns’; but a great majority of the best mill owners will say that there is no great physical hazard in a steam saw mill, and that when a mill burns, it is generally, but not always, well sold. My own opinion is that the physical hazard in a steam saw mill of the better class has been very much exaggerated, I think the moral hazard is tremendous, and I think this applies more to very highly-rated risks than to those rated moderately. When aman has paid seven or eight percent. for, say, twenty years, he feels that he is only getting his own money back when the mill burns. I consider this an additional reason for inducing owners to build first-class mills, and for giving them a moder- ate rate. I must say that the average mill owner improves his fire protection more with the view of getting a low rate than of putting out fires. He never expects the mill to burn, unless it is set on fire, and there is no schedule that I know of that will draw a fair distinction between the man who really means to protect his mill and the one who can’t be made to realize the fire hazard. In such cases the rating officer must be al- lowed some latitude. Most of the mills which have been built within the last ten years have brick boiler houses, eight feet de- tached from the mill, with plate iron roofs, iron rafters and girders, with no wood-work whatever, except what is required to hold the incandescent light wires. There are no openings on the side next the mill, except for shaft, belt or steam pipes. They have patent furnaces and short turbular boilers, the sawdust being fed on top of the furnace but not on top of the boilers, so that the distance from the furnaces to the roof is much greater than it is with shell or flue boilers, which are much longer and cover the entire furnace. In these patent furnaces’ only sawdust is used. As a rule, they require less fuel than the old-fashioned kind, and there is still more to be disposed outside the mill. The quantity of sawdust made largely depends on the kind of lumber sawn, and the thickness of the saws used—for instance, an old-fashioned gang, sawing 1 in. boards, converts over one-fifth of the entire log into sawdust, whereas a stock gang or band saw, cutting deals only, wastes about one-fifth of that amount. Of all the refuse from a steam saw mill, there is none so hard to dispose of as that from cedar shingles. If it is conveyed to the outside burner, it blows all over the mill yard, and if burned in the furnace room, fills the place with dust and fibre. The better way to dispose of this refuse where it is necessary to burn it in the furnace room, would be from a shavings’ vault. The difficulty in disposing of saw mill refuse generally can only be safely overcome by steel burners outside the mill. The very best of the mills in this Province are supplied with them, but the greater number still have open burners, and haul away and sell a great quantity of edgings as well. These open burners are generally more than joo feet from the mill, but they are sometimes not 300 feet from the lumber, and in some cases are a quite serious exposure. The danger of fire from hot journals could be almost entirely avoided if such ball-bearing self-oiling journ- als were used as are found in the most modern grain elevators. The cut of spruce deals (which are generally piled and sold wet), was this last year about 175 million feet ; twenty million feet of spruce boards and scant- ling were sawn ; about ten million laths and staves, 300 million shingles, and about ten million feet of pine boards, which latter are piled and stuck to dry. The large proportion of spruce deals sawn makes PW ie shingled. Even in mills where there is no water the insurance on lumber in New Brunswick beicdte- , a ent from that in Western Canada. j I do not know of a case where a steam saw mill h aS caught from the lumber, and in most cases of saw mill fires, the loss on lumber has been very light. iad A mill running gangs must be more heavily built than one running rotaries or band saws, and the danger from hot journals is greater in consequence of the continuous shaking of the mill. 7“) In every way the modern mill is a better risk than the mill of 25 years ago, except as regards the lumber sawn. There is each year a little more small Lace cut, and a little more of it stuck; but the improvement ofter in the mills more than offsets this. Too little attention is paid to whitewashing, and I am not sure that a greater allowance than the present one should not be made for it in the rate. There area great many formulas for whitewashes, but the lastin and adhering qualities of the wash are perhaps not the greatest importance. The whitewashing should | be done at least once each year, and ordinary lime with a little salt in it, in addition to being a great nor conductor, is quite good enough to wash down all dust and cobwebs and cover up some of the oily wo " The inspector can see at a glance if the work has been slighted.

The machine shown herewith is designed for ripping either hard or soft woods, with ample power on both blade and feed works for any reasonable demand. The use of this machine allows the ripping of thicker stock than can be accomplished on the circular rip saw, and per- mits the work to be done more rapidly with less kerf removed. The frame is cast hollow, with heavy cross struts and with wide foot flanges which extend beyond the lower wheel, The front top roll is driven, while the back one is a press roll. The pressure of both of these rolls is governed by springs. They are hung in separate swings, so that they will yield for any variation in thickness of lumber, and are attached to the head guide bar, which is in- dexed to show the height from the top of the table to the bottom of the rolls, so that the operator can quickly adjust for different thick- nesses of stock. This guide bar is counter- balanced so that it can be easily adjusted. The feed rolls can be started or stopped by ul H | a 1s m Fi + q fe.

The lively town of Midland, Ont., desires a concatenation, and the invitation extended by Mr. Frank Moores has been accepted. June 30th has been selected as the date, and as it falls on Friday and the following Saturday being Dominion Day will be a public holiday, + an exceptional opportunity will be afforded Hoo-Hoo members from all parts to join in the festivities. The local Hoo-Hoo are very en- thusiastic, and as Midland is a large lumber- ing centre and particularly interesting in the summer time when the mills are in operation, an extremely pleasant time may safely be counted upon. Doubtless there will be a large-class of eligibles. ed THE HOO-HOO ANNUAL. The fourteenth annual of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo. is to be held beginning September 9, 1905, at Portland, Oregon. According to all accounts, it bids fair to be one of the largest and most successful annuals ever held. Out on the west coast the mem- bers are making great preparations for it. The Official Souvenir Book for this four- teenth annual is now in course of preparation. It will be published by Mrs. Edna B. Jones, who had charge of the book last year and made it such a distinct success. It will be gotten up in excellent style—the printing, paper, engravings, etc., being of the best in every particular. The contents will be of a character specially interesting to Hoo-Hoo everywhere. There will be contributions by prominent members of the order and leading writers, together with much that will pertain particularly to the west coast and its lumber interests. The portrait gallery will contain full page pictures of the officers of Hoo-Hoo—the Snark, the House of Ancients, Supreme Nine, Vice- gerents and other prominent members of the Order. a ANADIAN OIL GO. umiteD STRACHAN AVENUE TO LUMBERMEN THE DOMINION OVER: © OUR TRADE WITH SAW-MILLS Has been large and satisfactory.

And all kinds of Grocers’ Sundries LUMBER INSURANCE. The question of insurance is one that is continually presenting itself to lumber dealers and manufacturers throughout Canada and the United States. That in- surance is essential to any well regulated business goes without saying, for besides the necessity of protection against personal loss it is required as a security of in- terest by firms dealing on a credit basisand by all credit agencies, none of whom cares to deal freely with, or give unqualified good name to any concern not possess- ing some indemnity for serious loss. For a number of years it has been the consensus of opinion in the lumber trade that their insurance rates here too high, and long continued protests finally took effect in the shape of an investigating committee, which went carefully into the question. Their firidings were in general that the insurance companies had freely taken advantage of the fact that insurance is a necessity, and for years have closely followed the plan of ‘‘charg- ing what the traffic would bear”. Some lines of bus- iness have been so liable to large losses as to be profitable by the narrowest margin only. The rates on these already being as high as there was any hope of collecting, the easy expedient was adopted of charging more than was necessary on those classes of risks which from year to year had yielded a good return. The experience of old policy-holders shows that a general raising of rates on every business and in every location follows immediately upon a disastrous con- flagration which has brought unusually heavy losses to the insurance companies. In either case it is the same story, overcharging the safe business to make it pay the losses on the unsafe. The committee further found that among those most _ generally discriminated against was the lumber bus- iness, the rates charged on that class being far in excess of the proportion of losses which the insurance companies suftered on it. This led to the organization, one by one, of that group of three powerful companies now writing lumber and woodworking risks in all parts of Canada and the United States, namely, the Lumber Insurance Company of New York, the Lumber Under- writers, and the Toledo Fire and Marine Insurance Company. Situated as they are, the first and second at 66 Broadway, New York, and the last at Sandusky, Ohio, they are geographically well situated to reach the trade. They are organized and conducted ona plan which enables them to save money for the trade. In the first place they dispense, so far as possible, with agents, and by doing business direct with the property owners save a great deal which with the other companies is spent in commissions. The direct method is found by their policy-holders to afford other advantages, since it brings into intimate business relations both parties to the insurance contract. The fact that the three com- panies are all owned and managed by lumbermen makes it easy to arrive at a mutually satisfactory arrangement, for the men in the offices are so well acquainted with the needs of the trade that they can readily and intelligently repond to any requests or suggestions made them by those with whom they are doing business. = The manager of one of the companies in talking to — the writer outlined to him the conservative plan follow- ed by the three companies, which frees them, within the range of all human probability, from the dangers of being crippled or ruined by a large conflagration. The plan consists in avoiding an overloading of any of the companies on any one of the large lumber dis- tricts which are, in the words of the insurance man, ‘‘subject to a single conflagation.” The advantages to the policy-holder of such con- servatism on the part of the company whose policy he — holds is evident. There is no need to fear that any — one of the three companies in question will be forced — to the wall by any of the great fires such as have hap-— pened in several cities of Canada and the United States in the past year. No company could adopt a — surer way of protecting its own interests, and through — its own those of its policy-holders, than this big group — now has in force, and the advantage to the assured is — thus doubled, since the conseravtism not only makes — the indemnity surer, but aids in making possible the lowering of rates. 5 Believing that the trade wishes the very best of in- surance the organizers of those companies decided to_ depart from the time-worn mutual plan, and avoid that ae feature of somewhat doubtful desirability which at- taches to a mutual policy in the shape of assessment — liability. Two of the three companies, the Lumber ; Insurance Company of New York and the Toledo Fire and Marine Insurance Company, offer regular stock company policies, which are issued under the 7 supervision of the states of New York and Ohio re- pectively. The third company, the Lumber Under~ writers, is a Lloyds, with its policies backed by the — individual responsibility of the Underwriters. Its board of underwriters being composed of seventeen men prominent in the lumber trade of the United States and Canada, and having an aggregate wealth of many millions of dollars, the soundness of their in- demnity is beyond question. The strength of the group is such that the three companies can carry a large line on any good risk. Acting independently or through some one of the three they have in the few years of their operation invaded every part of Canada and the United States where there is lumber to be insured. They have made the arrangement of the business easy for the assured and given satisfaction at all times. They form an aggres- sive trio, and are always to be found active wherever there is a fight for business. —_ CALIFORNIA EXCURSION.

The lumber market has a most healthy appearance. The spring demand is devel- oping as largely as was expected, and the outlook is for a very active season. Prices continue firm, withno decided ten- dency either to recede or advance, but it may be said that present conditions fayor the seller on account of the extensive building operations in Toronto and to a lesser degree throughout the province. ~ There is certain to be a very heavy con- sumption of lumber this year and it would not be surprising if a shortage should de- velop in some classes. The mills are practically sold out of dry stock and con- siderable of the new cut has been con- tracted for. Mill culls and the lower grades continue to occupy the strongest position, but hemlock is also exhibiting an exceptionally good tone. The manufac- turers are realizing higher prices for their stock than ever before, and dealers who earlier in the season entered into contracts based on the prices then ruling are find- ing difficulty in purchasing the lumber at a price which will give them a margin of profit. Most of the drives have commenced, but low water in the northern parts of the province promises to result disastrously unless there should be heavy rains in the near future. There is very little snow in the woods and the rain-fall this spring has been exceptionally light. If any quantity of logs should be hung up, higher prices for ed. Since writing the above, it is learned that rain has fallen north of Sudbury, and that the drives in that district are now moving satisfactorily. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The lumber market in the Maritime Provinces is at a standstill owing to the uncertainty regarding the log drives. The outlook is very gloomy on the St. John, Miramichi, Tebique and Aroostook rivers, and unless there should be heavy rains inthe near future, the logs are al- most certain to be hung up. This will mean considerably higher prices for lum- ber. The present position of the market is very strong. There is a scarcity of deals on the St. John and it is doubtful if a couple of car loads could be got to- gether. Considerable quantities are held on the north shore for shipment upon the opening of navigation. At the present time deals are worth $13.50 per thousand f.o.b. St. John, a dollar more than three months ago. There is a strong demand for American sprucé deals, which have white pine lumber may be expect- “i advanced in price during the past fort- night. The cedar shingle market is much im- proved. Offerings by the small mills are lighter and higher prices are established. Extras for Boston delivery are quoted at $3.40, and clears at $2.85 to $2.90, with the supply of all standard brands com- paratively light. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, The expected heavy ordering of lumber from the North-West and Manitoba mar- kets has not materialized, and shipments up to date are below what was expected. The manvfacturers are carrying heavy stocks and are prepared for a rush of or- ders should they come. The mills on the Coast and inthe Mountain district of Brit- ish Columbia are now so numerous that they can take care of nearly double the trade which is now offered. There is a large influx of settlers into the prairie region, but up to date their requirements of British Columbia lumber have been limited this year. The shingle situation is much improved. For the past six months the market has been in a demoralized state. Owing to the severe competition among the different mills in the province, prices fell below cost and some of the mills went out of business or into the hands of the sheriff. Some weeks ago the manufacturers got together and agreed on a list which will give a fair profit, and it is thought that, after the severe lesson they have had, the list prices will be adhered to. Orders are coming in fairly well and the outlook for a good season’s business is promising. A number of new logging camps have been opened up, and the supply of logs for the season promises to be ample. _ Wages are very high, which makes the price of logs about $5.50 to $6.00 net at _ the camp, or delivered at the mill $7.50 to _. $8.00. Owing to the cheaper grades of lumber from the American side cutting into the 2. eit ota Tas Ts inatteS 7 aod North-West market, only the better class of logs are being taken out, as it is al- most impossible to find a profitable mar- ket for the lower grades of lumber.

Burk’s Falls, Ont. ‘Keenan Bros., of lumber are moving in large volume, while the southern pine business is almost booming. Reports in respect to white pine are much better than one year ago, stocks are not heavy, and prices are higher. The demand is making it com- pulsory upon dealers to accept the manu- facturers’ prices, with the result that advances have been made at some of the wholesale points. The great activity in building is consuming a vast quantity of lumber and the requirements of the rail- roads isalso a very considerable factor. The supply of spruce is scarcely equal to the demand. Hardwoods are active, with birch in exceptionally good demand. Ash and elm are also moving in liberal volume, but basswood is lagging. . There is a steady call for maple, but prices in the Saginaw Valley show an easier con- dition, as log run has been purchased as low as $14.50. Lath continues to exhibit strength, No. 1 white pine selling in Chicago at $4 and No. 2 at $3.75. The shingle market is showing a better tone, due to increased consumption. White cedars have ad- vanced 15 cents within the past two weeks. GREAT BRITAIN. Lumber prices in Great Britain have undergone no important change during the past week. The failure of a large Nottingham firm, of which several large importers are creditors, has caused an uneasy feeling in the trade, particularly when considered in conjunction with the recent embarrassment of a timber im- porting firm in Manchester. Apart from this feature, however, the market is ina healthy condition and deliveries from the docks are being made in large quantities. Pine prices are barely steady, but spruce shows an advancing tendency. At a recent auction sale in London 3x9 inch third quality Montreal spruce regulars brought £8 15s per standard, while 3x9 inch first, second and third quality, from Halifax, N.S., brought £8, and 3x7 inch £7 5s. The importing trade are now accept- ing the view that the export of spruce from Canada will be very light this year, and that this condition is likely to bring about higher prices. se ee ee STOCKS AND PRICES.

St. Joun, N.B., April 28th, 1905.—The saw-mills in this vicinity have, with one or two exceptions, begun operations for the season during the past ten days. The logs now being sawn were in every case held in stock here during the winter. Few logs are being offered for sale as yet, it is rather early considering the late opening of the small rivers and brooks in the lower counties. Rafting operations have not yet been started at Fredericton and it will be some weeks yet before the local mills will receive any important quantity of the thirty millions of feet which lay in the river at that place and vicinity during the winter. These logs and most of those which were cut between here and Grand Falls during last winter can be depended upon to come along in due time, but be- yond that the outlook is decidedly dis- couraging and is causing the local manu- facturers considerable uneasiness. It is felt that at least a week of heavy rainsis needed at the head-waters of the St. John before the river will be in a condition for driving purposes. When it is considered that the local mills depend almost entirely upon the sections beyond Grand Falls for their logs,.it can be readily seen how vital the consequence of a general hang- up would be. Such an event would mean, takinz into consideration the amount of logs available between here and Grand Falls, that the total output of sawn lumber for this season wou'd be at least sixty per cent. below the average. A feature of the markets during the past month has been the increasing de- mand for and the advance in prices of American spruce deals. While there is no important quantity available at this port at this date, there will be during the next three months some considerable quantities manufactured, although the total cut in this line for the season will not be up to the average. For delivery during the next three months no lower quotation on American deals (f.0.b. schr. St. John) than the following could be obtained : 10’s and 12’s, $17.50 to $18.50; 9 inch, $16.00 to $16.50; narrows, $13.50 to $14.00. Spruce laths have shown little variation during the past few weeks and are quoted f.o.b. St. John, $2.50 for dutiable and $2.75 for non-dutiable. Stocks are ex- tremely light and it will be June 15th be- fore any quantity of importance is ready to go forward. Cedar shingles are steady at prices mentioned a month ago, viz., (non-dutiable, f.o.b. St. John): Extras, $2.95; Clears, $2.45; znd Clears, $1.90; No. t's, $0.90. The lower grades are somewhat slow in the United States, but the demand for the higher grades in that direction is brisk and growing and, combined with the indi- cations for a heavy local consumption of the cheaper grades, promises a good year in this line. Freight rates on deals to New York City are quoted at $3 per M, but there isa probability that before the end of May they may be 25 cents lower. BOSTON, MASS. H.

All woods do not show the grain on the stick like oak, but the stave-cutter m know and consider the grain as if he could s it, when he is cutting staves from cottonw and other woods that do not show it. §S men think these woods can be cut any V but it is shown by long experience that they not hold their shape and do not cut smooth. 4 stave-cutter that insists that the grain of cotton- £ wood need not be consulted makes — more — defective staves. In the matter of heading and see the grain need not be consulted, but ignorance is not to be tolerated if it can be avoided, because it can reduce the bank account in these lines in so — many ways that to discuss them here would be tedious. Engineers whose duties bring them to see the cull heading, staves and hoops that come to the fire room to be burned, instead of being sold as good stock, can see where much _ ; of the money is being wasted, and can often discover the ‘‘short circuit in the office” be- — fore the fuse is blown.—‘‘H.

The buildings are — > arranged on each side of a passage, along ee : which runs a 100 ton crane, enabling material to be easily transported from one shop to q another. The planing mill, which is one of the most modern woodworking establishments ; on the Continent, is set back at some distance from the passageway. It is 126x500 feet, built of brick on concrete foundations, with a wooden roof truss. A row of built-up steel columns support the truss along the centre and divide the building into two bays. All the lumber going into the make-up of the cars, with the exception of the hardwood used in finishing, is dressed. From the sills, which — are 5 in. by 8 in. by 72 ft., and the truss — plank 3 in. by 10 in. by 72- ft., down tothe — window battens and stops, 3-16 by ™% in., the i ialincheatded —S “THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 3 mom THE CAMP— We have a very suitable lot of goods for camp supplies.

In these latter machines a circular saw may be placed and each tooth finished in turn with an accuracy impossible by hand labor. One of the most important features in con- nection with the planing mill is the system of collecting saw dust, shavings and trimmings from the different machines and conveying them to bins on the roof of the building and eventually to the boilers in the power house. _ This system was installed by C. H. Gifford & Company, managers of the Philadelphia house, B. F. Sturtevant Company, and is undoubtedly the largest dust-collecting system on this continent. THE RETAILER VS. THE LUMBER TARIFF. What the retailer wants is low-priced lumber, and for the best interest of his business those prices should be steady. There is nothing that scares a prosperous builder more than to hear that there is a half dollar raise on lumber, and — a) ee a 1 TORONTO this might be the case when the half dollar might not make a difference of $25 on the house that man was going to build. If the retail dealers of the country under- stood the tariff question, they would vote to a man to take the duty off Canadian lumber. In fact, I think they would be more anxious to take off that duty than the Canadians them- selves. In reality, the Canadian has lost very little by the duty that the United States has imposed on dressed and rough lumber. The Canadian is as full of human nature as any man, there- fore he believes in reciprocity and he believes in retaliation. When the duty was put on Canadian lumber by the United States there Were a great number of American lumbermen getting out logs in Canada, running them over to the American side and turning them into lumber in the United States. There was no duty on logs, and this business would have grown immensely had not the Canadian waked up to the fact that he was getting left. Timber land in Canada for the most part was leased, the leases running one year, it was a sort of unwritten law that these leases should be renewed at the end of each year. As soon as the Canadians found that the American was dodging the tariff, and getting the best of the Canadian lumbermen, they looked about for some scheme to stop this kind of business, and the scheme they worked in Ontario was this: They declined to renew the leases unless these lumbermen would agree to manufacture this lumber on Canadian soil. In many cases the American lumbermen moved their mills onto Canadian soil and continued to get Canadian logs from the leased land in Canada. The stand that the retail dealer must natur- ally take in this business is for low-priced lum- ber. There is no reason why the Canadian should not come here with his lumber on an equal basis with the American lumberman. What the law should be for is the greatest good to the greatest number, and that is really the intention of all law. The forestry people are getting worked up over the depletion of the forests, and this is another reason why the lumber from Canada should not be shut out. Another point in favor is that there are about as many native born Americans in the lumber business in Canada as there are Canadians, and there would be more if it were not for the restrictions of the tariff.—Lumber Review, Chicago. 32 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN THE NEWS Button & Thompson are rebuilding their saw mill at Terranova, Ont. —James Sparling is building an addition to his plan- ing mill at Meaford, Ont. —Knight Bros. are building a new wood-working factory at Burks Falls, Ont. —Craven Langstroth is building a new saW and grist mill at Rothesay, N.B.

Rolls properly ground, that track and travel together, are essential elements in a saw stretcher. Of course, perfect rolls cannot make up for a poorly designed or constructed frame work or for the lost motion to be found in some types of stretchers built with so-called ‘‘ movable rolls,” having feathered rolls or shafts or both. But if the rolls dish the saw, *t is an indication that one or the other roll is imperfectly ground or soft or worn more or less,.or that the rolls do not travel or track together, or that the roll shafts are not in per- fect alignment. If the cause of the trouble lies in the face of the rolls, by reason of their uneven diameter, or wear on being ground on different segments, the remedy is to accurately regrind them. Should the rolls not act easily on the saw, . with the exercise of ordinary pressure, it is an indication that they are too flat for the temper of the saws in use, and the remedy is to have them reground on the segments of smaller cir- cles. Moreover, it pays to have the rolls re- ground from time to time and kept in the best condition, as the cost of the work is a mere trifle in comparison with the beneficial results that follow the use of perfect rolls. ; Where the rolls are out of true, and to dis- pense with them would at times work a serious inconvenience, a temporary improvement in You Can Save Money TEAS AND 6 Teas a Specialty for Camp ach cs i Japans - China Greens Black Teas - Samples on Application to FEO TER RS Cable Address: BRANCH OFFICES FROM OCEAN T0 OCEAN OUR NEW HYDRAULIC WET MACHINE LIEBERS Copes: ABC 4th Ep.

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.

He stated that the cut of the mill will run about equally fir, spruce, tamarac and cedar, with a small percentage of white pine. The mountain tamarac or larch is not at all like the eastern tamarac. The spruce is a soft white wood with a red knot, very similar to white pine, and it grows very tall, oftentimes running eight or nine 16-foot logs in height up to the limbs. These will have frequently a diameter of three or four feet at the stump.) 7_ ting.

The neat appearance of the many workmen’s cottages, the new vlaning mill, machine shop, power house, etc., all indicate the prosperity of this concern. Their triple battery of boilers, with automatic feed, develops over 400 horse power to drive the ponderous machinery. The engineer in charge said there was only a loss of 14 per cent. through feeding the wet saw- dust automatically, this loss being entirely due to the dampness, but this will be offset to a large extent when the planing mill gets to work and shavings will be used, The fir is not as large in the mountains as on the coast, the average being 24 to 30 inches diameter at the stump, very tall and smooth. The mountain tamarac will run all the way from 18 to 48 inches in diameter on the stump. Cedar will run from one to five, and even six feet, at the stump. It is peculiar how the timber varies and where it grows. Hemlock, practically un- known in wide areas east of the Mississippi River, is found at Revelstoke. At Cranbrook all the mills are actively cut- planing mill is in operation here, in charge of Mr. R. B. Benedict, a splendid type of younger lumbermen, and formerly of Minnesota. They have a daily capacity of over 25,000 feet, with a very large percentage of clears. A new boiler, engine and a Berlin matcher and planer are to be installed and the capacity of the mill increased. They employ about 75 men and the total cut this year will run over six million feet. _The president of this company is Mr. F. M. March, of Winnipeg. At Elko the writer inspected the fine new 16 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN JUNE, 1905 planing mill just completed for Mr. John H. Hanbury.

At Ymir the Porto Rico Lumber Company have a good mill running steadily; Mr. J. A. Raise Gaskin has a thriving plant known as the Kimberley Milling & Manufacturing Company. They manufacture lumber, mouldings, interior finish, etc., most of the output being disposed of through the Moose Mountain Lumber Company, of Winnipeg. ’ At Cranbrook I inspected the very nice plant owned by the Cranbrook Sash & Door Company. This company is composed of Messrs. McKowan, A. Slater, W. Slater, A. S. Nicholson and J. H. Spence. Besides sash and doors they make interior wood-work of all kinds.

A. Carney, tim- ber inspector for east and south-east Kootenay. Mr: Carney is very optimistic as to the British Columbia forestry product. He thinks that the prices asked for limits are very reasonable and will be called ‘‘snaps”’ in a few years. Manners’ mill is situated about four miles west of Cranbrook, making a small cut. A. E. Watts’ mill is further west and is running “steadily, cutting over twenty thousand daily. Before reaching Moyie our train ran into a rocky slide. Mr. Alex. Leitch, President of the East Kooteney Lumber Company, was on the train and we congratulated each other on our ‘‘chuted” into the pond from the top of the Yahk mountains. This company have some fine holdings along the Crow’s Nest Pass route. Near Creston a great lot of posts had been delivered at the side of the rails by a contractor who had cut them on the top of the mountain. There appeared no feasible way of bringing them down and still leave a profit, so he built a two-board V flume, which was held in place by uprights wherever necessary in crossing gullies, and into this a mountain stream was turned and the posts half floated and ‘‘chuted”’ to the track for shipment. | SWULSTORE,, three planers going. A. N. Winlaw is the manager of this very complete outfit. Mr. Winlaw, sr., is very active and keeps things up-to-date and ‘‘on the go” continuously. When I reached Slocan City the town was “resting.” All the mines, excepting one em- ploying a couple of dozen men, were closed down. The fine shingle mill plant of the Ontario Slocan-Company was lying idle. Mr. D. St. Denis, the energetic manager, said that, owing to the bad year of 1904, they had put in no logs and would not reopen until next winter. They make the famous Crown brand of red cedar shingles, so well liked in the East. Three BRITISH COLUMBIA MILLS, TIMBER AND TRADING COMPANY’S HASTINGS MILL. 1. Entrance to yard, showing offices. 2.

They are sawing western pine, fir, cedar, larch and some spruce. They have also cut a small amount of hemlock. The probable cut this year will be between three and four million feet.

A great many people erroneously call larch ‘‘tamarac,’ when as a matter of fact there is The British Columbia larch is a beautiful wood,.and makes splendid very little similarity. interior finish. Some of the Northwest retailers call this wood mountain tamarac. The manager of the Otis Staples mill at Bayard, B.C., says: ‘‘Larch, or mountain tamarac, as some prefer to call it, is the best wood going for putting in cars. It is an ideal wood for The manager of the Fernie Lumber Com- pany, at Fernie, B.C., also says larch is not tamarac, but many people have been calling it ‘‘tamarac”’ erroneously. At the offices of the East Kootenay Lumber Company in Cranbrook, B.C., can be seen a most beautifully finished room, all the interior being of larch. It is a superior wood to pine for interior work, mouldings, ceilings, siding, flooring, etc. a Connected with the lumber interests is the important business of towing lake rafts, which is done by the Midland Towing & Wrecking Company with their extensive outfit of lake tugs and booms. : Ontario.

TANNER. Mr. William H. Tanner, member of the well-known lumber firm of Tanner Bros., of Waubaushene, Ont., met JUNE, 1905 the surviving ras with a shocking death in his mill at ‘Tannen tee ville last month. He essayed to cross in front of the carriage connected with the band saw. forward, threw Mr. Tanner against the saw. His back struck it, and he received a terrible e. gash, eight ribs being severed from the back- — bone and one of his lungs exposed. The guide to the saw saved him from instant death. As it was, he lingered till the following day and ' passed away, retaining consciousness to. the end, and attending to the closing of his: affairs. * Mr. Tanner, who was in his sixtieth year, was a native of Fonthill, Ontario. He had been ‘a resident.of Tannerville for upwards of thirty years, having come there first to work in the mill established by his father, of which he and his brother shortly afterwards took the manage- ment. Deceased’s brother and partner, Mr. George Tanner, died of pneumonia only three months ago. Both were highly respected and capable business men, and had acquired con- siderable fo.tunes, ) Mr. Tanner was married tw enty-seven_ years — ago to Miss Caroline Caswell, of Coldwater, who survives him with three sons and two daughters. The sons are Morley, Milton and Melville, and all reside at Tannerville, the first named taking an active part in the business. Deceased is also survived by both his parents. It is probable that the bus:ness will be con- tinued by the members of the two families. The mill had just started up for the season when the accident occurred. ah _ MINCE MEAT, BAKING POWDER, ‘OILS a a COFFEE, SPICES, FLAVORING = 4 «~_FOR SAW MILLS — EXTRACTS, MUSTARDS, &. ss—«._——SCWESOLICIT ORDERS | a TRADE LARGE AND SATISFACTORY ~ “ ‘“QUR AGENTS WILL CALL WITH ‘‘STERLING’’ CYLINDER, ae.

Address, CANADA LUMBERMAN, To- Tonto. he saw mills of the Oyamel Lumber Company at Roberval, Que., of which B. A. Scott is manager, were burned last week. The Jumber yards were saved. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. . ONTARIO. A superabundance of rain has been the only adverse co dition affecting the move- ment of lumber during the past week, and as this is regarded as but a temporary in- fluence, the firm tone of the market has not been The demand for finishing lumber is on the increase and promises to be quite large later in the season when the many buildings now un- der construction are nearing completion. The factory demand is not all that it might be, but this too will probably im- prove later when it is ascertained that the accumulation of the new cut will be light and that prices are not likely to decline. The manufacturers are now showing every confidence in a continuation of the present basis of white pine and kLardwood~ values, while higher prices for hemlock have been suggested. It does not seem probable, however, that hemlock is likely to go much higher in the near future, as competition from the Michigan product is a factor which must be reckoned with in Western Ontario, for during the past week a cargo has been unloaded at To- ronto for distribution to local yards. Apparently, hemlock can be purchased at the Michigan mills below $12. impaired. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. There isa fair demand for nearly al; sizes and grades of spruce lumber for loca, consumption and for shipment to the Eastern States, but uncertainty still char- acterizes the British business. The log drives on some of the streams are in safe waters, but on others a_ considerable quantity of logs has already been hung up. The recent difficulties at Van Buren in connection with the drives on the St. John river is a further source of uncertainty, but itis hoped that some arrangement will be reached by which the New Brunswick drives can be floated past the obstructions this year, as undoubtedly the dispute will be settled before next season. These con- ditions, however, have exerted a strength_ ening influence upon lumber prices, which are even firmer than they have been at any previous time this year. South American specifications have not been in as much demand of late, but it is believed CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Skit eae WG * 5? 23 5 be y - ay ‘ ’ that the conditions causing this setback will be temporary. ~ : New Brunswick cedar shingles are mov- ing in average volume, but there have been no indications of higher prices in the im- mediate future. Extras are quoted at $3.35 to $3.40 for Boston delivery. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The past week has witnessed no great change in the condition of the lumber market of Western Canada. Prices are firm and perhaps alittle higher than at this time last year, with a tendency to advance, though somewhat slowly. Dimension timber is moving fairly well, but there is not the usual call for the more expensive grades as yet. The prospects for a good crop in the Northwest are ex- cellent and it is confidently expected that the demand for lumber during June and July will be sufficient to keep the mills busy. Fir and cedar are in good demand. Logs are fairly plentiful, and prices havea downward tendency. Good logs are worth $7.50 per thousand feet at the mill, while rough logs bring from $4.50 to $5.00. Inquiries have come from Japan for prices on some large building lumber, and with the prospect of an early termination of the war it is felt that considerable business will result. UNITED STATES. Shipments of lumber during the past week have been very heavy. Twenty- eight vessels arrived at Tonawanda, with a total of over 20,000,000 feet, which is 3,000,000 feet more than were recorded during the preceding and second largest — week of the season. These receipts have been appreciated by the trade, as the de- mand is quite active and promises to pro- vide a market for most of the lumber in sight. The eastern trade has been very satisfactory this season on account of the large volume of building operations. Figures on the lower grades, such as box and mill culls, have stiffened a _ Ilttle, but otherwise there is no change. The de- mand for hemlock is quieter in the Chica- go district on account of labor difficulties, but as this promises to be one of the great- est building years in the history of that city, there is every prospect of an improv- ed demand during the summer and fall cata? ss o. a ad P =.% W.

Plain oak, white ash and birch are among the best sellers. Maple flooring has gained some ground during the past month, and is now selling at prices which should give the manufacturer a fair margin of profit. Spruce is very strong, with wide cargoes offering for New York delivery on a basis of $23, and 2-inch stock at $20 to $21. An increased scarcity of lath is reported. New York has recently bought very heavily at from $3.50 to $3.75, the latter figure being about the highest price ever paid in that market. Dealers at other points bave refused to meet the competi- tion and have therefore been unable to ob- _ tain an ample supply. There has been a slight decline from the high water mark, current values being about $3.50 for 15 inch and $3.35 for 14 inch. GREAT BRITAIN, British importers are still refusing to contract for stock at the prices asked by shippers, and this notwithstanding that stocks are getting very low. There has been some disappointment that conditions have not continued to improve and some are now disposed to take the view that the best that can be hoped for is an improve- ment upon the unsatisfactory trade of last year. The deal market is quite uncertain, but there continues to be a fair demand for battens. The fact that dealers are willing to purchase from one another from the stock on hand rather than place contracts for later delivery is an evidence of the lack of confidence which exists. First and second quality pine has been changing CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION hands in this way quite freely. The prizes realized at recent auction sales have also been satisfactory. So far as Canadian pine and spruce are concerned, the supply for the British market promises to be considerably lighter than usual, and it seems reasonable to expect that the present asking prices will be obtained later in the year if not almost immediately. STOCKS AND PRICES. The contract for i,000,000 feet of timber to be used in the proposed Ogilvie elevator at Fort William, Ont., has been awarded to the Pigeon River Lumber Company. D. G. Keyes, Secretary of the Depart- ment of the Interior, Ottawa, will receive tenders up to June 21st next for a license to cut tinber on Berth No. 1229 containing 36 square miles and Berth No. 1230, both in the province of Manitoba. Tugs of the Reid Wrecking Company, of Sarnia, arrived at Sandwich, Ont., on May 3oth with the first raft of the season, for the Saginaw Lumber and Salt Com- pany. There were 1,500,000 feet in the raft. The second part of the raft with an equal amount inthe River St. Clair was expected down during the week. The tug Reid is nowin Lake Huron witha raft containing 4,000,000 feet from Spanish River, for the Sarnia mill of the Cleve- land Sarnia Sawmill Company. THE NeW BRUNSWICK LOG DRIVES. FREDERICTON, N.B., June 2; water in the rivers is low and some of the drives are already hung up. ‘‘There will Ill. be 50,000,000 feet of logs on the Upper St. John waters which will not be brought out this spring,” said a prominent lumberman.” Of the 105,750,000 feet which it is estimated was to come out this year, a considerable proportion will have to wait over for another season unless there is a wonderful rise of water at an early day. Reports received are to the effect that about 12,000,000 feet will be hung up on the Northwest Miramichi. The lumber that is tied up includes some for Ritchie, Hutchinson and Sinclair. The driving on the Southwest Branch has been most suc- cessful. Mr. Welsh’s drive has already got as far as Boiestown, while T. Lynch’s 10,000,000 has reached the islands about five miles below that place. A number of men who were on Robert Aitken’s drive on the Machias and Alle- gash streams, have returned. The drives are allin, and the Cunliffe drives, with which they amalgamated, all came out safely. Randolph & Bakerhave word to the effect that their drive on Chimenticook, with the exception of about 1,000 pieces, has been brought out sately. Joseph Hallett has got his drive out of Grand River. This drive consisted of about 2,000,000 feet of spruce for himself and about the same amount of cedar tor the Van Buren Lumber Company. John Kilburn, whose drives for W. H. Murray on the St. John headwaters had to be abandoned recently, has boomed the logs a short distance below English Bay, where they can easily be got out another season. Mr. Kilburn says that in his forty- four years’ experience he never saw the conditions for driving so unfavorable as he found them this year. Hilyard Bros.’ drive on the Restigouche is safely out, but-a number of small drives on the brooks owned by the different job- bers are hung up. The Richard concern have got out their main drive. ..

FRANK 6, BURY WHOLESALE MICHIGAN June 7 1905 CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Sr. Joun, N.B., May gist, 1905.—The demand for lumber of all kinds continues in a way that is very gratifying to all those who have or will have some to sell. So far as the selling is concerned all indi- cations point to a remarkably satisfactory season. Apparently the only misgiving on the part of the manufacturers of this section is in regard to the log drives. Until a few days ago it was felt that, while large quantities would hang up, yet most of the mills would have enough available to make almost an average saw- ing season. Now, with the difficulty which has arisen at Van Buren, the out- look is full of uncertainty. In the American market trade continues remarkably strong, especially for deals. Values are well maintained in this latter line ; local quotations having a tendency toward higher figures. Stocks of American deals are light ; 2,000,000 s. ft. would easily cover the whole. Judging from the purchases of American logs made at earlier dates for delivery during 1905, the cut of American lumber of all kinds will be lighter this year than usual at this port. A feature of the American market just now is the slackness in demand for spruce 3 X 9; this in spite of the fact that a tre- mendous business is being done in other lines. American spruce deals are quoted at Vil. this date, f.o.b. St. John, as follows: 3 x 1o and 12, $17.50 to $18.50; 3 x 9, $16; 3 x 7 and 8, $13.50 to $14. The demand for cedar shingles in the United States is not so snappy as it usu- ally is at this time of the year, although it is very uniform and the volume of sales fairly large. Prices are at least being maintained and in some cases the figures mentioned last month have been improved upon, but speaking generally it cannot be said there has been an advance in price, Quotations now being made on cedar shingles (non-dutiable) t.0.b. St. John are as follows: Extra, $2.95; clear, $2.45 ; 2nd clear, $1.90 ; No. 1, 95 cents. Spruce lath are in good demand at the following: figures, f.o.b, St. John, for im- mediate delivery : Non-dutiable, $2.55 ; dutiable, $2.30. Shipments to the Eastern States in all lines have been very light, which cond i- tion is due to a remarkable scarcity of tonnage, which is also the case in all ports along the coast. During the last fortnight great difficulty has beén exper- ienced in obtaining a vessel of any kind. The few charters that have been made were at the following figures: Long lum- ber to Boston, $2.50 per M s. ft.; to the Sound, $2.75 ; to New York City, $3.

He had been slightly indisposed for some weeks, but was not confined to his house and no serious result was anticipated. The end came suddenly, however, before medi- cal assistance could be obtained. Mr. Mackie was born in the'city of Ottawa in the year 1838, of Scotch parentage. In early life he took to lumbering operations. His first venture was on the Bonnechere river. Then he bought the O’Kelly limits on the Indian river and afterwards went into partnership with Mr. ‘A.

At the Governmentsale of limits in December, 1903, he bought 3% square miles in the Township of Hamel and two berths in Merrick Township. For the former he paid $31,500 per square mile, the highest price ever given for a timber limit in Canada. He knew well the value of the property, however, which lay in the large quantity of excellent board timber to be obtain- edtherefrom. Besides lumbering, he had a large cattle ranch in Alberta. Mr. Mackie commenced his parliamentary career by defeating Hon. Peter White, also a prominent lumberman, in 1896, and again in 1900, but the latter gentleman defeated Mr. Mackie in the Dominion elections last year. He was one of the stalwarts of the Liberal party, and although not often heard on the floor of the House, was very attentive to the wants of his constituents.

THE McKAM PATENT TOOTH SAW. The demand for a saw that would cut a sufficiently smooth point or edge to avoid the necessity of planing is believed to have been satisfactorily met in the new McKam patent tooth circular saw. It does equally good work in cross-cutting, ripping or mitreing. This . Style of saw is very desirable for use in planing mills, McKam Patent Toortu. furniture moulding and picture frame factories and pat_ tern shops, as the character of the work done by it is so smooth that a glue joint can be made without sanding.

The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company, of Green- ville, Mich., have sent us the following remarks touch- ing the important question of the disposal of sawdust and refuse: From time immemorial different forced draft systems have been used. Nothing practical was ever devised for sawdust and wood refuse, however, until in 1889, when the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate was put on the market. The favor with which it was instantly receiv- ed, and the extent to which it has met and even exceed- ed all expectations, was and is remarkable. The ex- planation lies in the fact that it was the first practical method of applying a blast that had ever been evolved. Other systems had provided for the introduction of a blast, but at the wrong point, or under unfavorable con- ditions. One way was to blow into the ashpit. This was objectionable because (1) it cut off the natural draft entirely, throwing all the work on the blower; (2) there was nothing to prevent the blast from pursuing its natural tendency to seek the path of least resistance, so that the bulk of it passed through the grate, where it was bare, thereby cooling the furnace instead of pro- moting combustion; and (3) it caused the grate to burn out very rapidly. All of these very serious faults the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate effectually overcame; whence its favorable reception. Another unsuccessful attempt to promote combus- tion lay in the construction of a hollow bridge wall. While this proved to some degree effective with soft coal under certain conditions, it was a dismal failure with sawdust, and could not be otherwise, because (a) it produced the same effect as opening the furnace doors—i. e., it lowered the temperature instead of promoting combustion, and (b) it did nothing to over- come the tendency of the sawdust to settle compactly on the grate, which is the principal difficulty encoun- tered in burning sawdust, and which the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate effectually overcomes, as it intro- duces the blast from below. Other devices’for quickening combustion in sawmill furnaces failed because the ‘inventors’ fell into the error of thinking a “hot blast” beneficial. This is a mistaken supposition. The hotter the air, the more rarified, and the less oxygen it contains. As oxygen is the element that is vital to combustion, it is easy to see why ‘“‘hot blast” devices failed, or met with but in- ~ different success. The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate, mentioned above as the only practical device yet produced for use in sawmills and similar institutions, is manufactured only by the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company, Green- ville, Michigan. As stated, it has been on the market since 1889, although many minor improvements have been made in it in the years that have elapsed since.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN | |< WESTERN CANADA Western Offices of The Canada Lumberman, 720-721 Union Bank Building, WINNIPEG, MAN.; 536 Hastings Street, VANCOUVER, B.C. SOME FEATURES OF LUMBERING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. By E. H. Newron. How many of the eastern consumers of the product of our British Columbia mills have any idea of the methods employed by B. C. lumber- men in this the most important of Canadian industries ? I opine they are few, and perhaps there are many who have used the little piece of flooring, or the little piece of moulding, or the little piece of whatever it may be; or it may be that their magnificent residence stands in its entirety as a monument to their enterprising B. C. brethren, and yet, I ask, how many of them know, or in fact have even thought of how this beautifully finished product, or this magnificent structure has been made possible to them? They may have seen something of the methods of lumbering in the east,’and indeed a trip to a lumber camp in old Ontario or the more eastern provinces is always a pleasant and instructive one, but if you will go with me, kind reader, to the home of those mighty monarchs of this western coast, whose towering tops look far out over the deep blue waters of the great Pacific Ocean, you will be simply spell-bound. For convenience of reaching this spot we will take a trail, or perhaps it may be that we will go in by a sled road (the first part of our trip out from Vancouver being of necessity made by steamboat), which is constructed of skids embedded firmly at a distance of from four to six feet apart with notches cut in them for the runners of the sledsto run in. This road may be used for hauling in the necessary supplies, etc., for the camp. Arriving at the camp, which is- not usually very far from where we left the boat, we get instructions as to which way to go, and pretty soon we come up toa tree and we find two men —one on either side of this tree, standing upon something which appears to have grown out of . the sides of the tree perhaps eight or nine feet from the ground for this express purpose. Upon closer examination, but no closer than that with which we have been scrutinized by the fellows occupying those perches, we find that they are contrivances which, though simple carefully thought out, and seem to exactly fill the requirements. in their nature, have been These contrivances are called spring boards, and are held in their position by a simple notch in the side of the tree, and upon these the men stand to notch the front side of the tree which they are going to fell. This notch is usually about a foot deep, but may be more, or less, according to the size of the tree, and this plain- ly indicates the direction in which the tree is going to fall. Now, these perches are swung back in the other direction by a simple move- ment of the occupant, and the saw is brought into action on the back side of the tree, but as . ae! BT iiitn le me oe >: et Ps Beer this happens to be a large tree they have cut two notches in each side and the spring boards are put in the other notches for the first part of the saw cut, and as the sawing proceeds the board is swung by a slight kick with the heel of the boot. Now the tree is about half cut down and we see them change these spring boards back into the other notches again, and once more perched on top of them they proceed with the cut. They seem to be tugging very hard, and occasionally we see them take up a bottle in which they have some liquid ; they do not drink this liquid themselves, however, but pour it on the saw, and by a little inquisitive- ness we elucidate the fact that this is coal oil and dogfish oil mixed and that it is used to cut the gum which had run down on the saw and is causing them to exert all this extra effort. Finally the cut is nearly finished and we are watching toward the top of this mighty giant so soon to be laid low; the alarm is now given, but the men tugging at the saw continue at the task. Suddenly a quick convulsive shudder has pervaded every branch of this tree, but still it stands there trembling, and one can almost imagine writhing with the thoughts of having to surrender up its position to its dreaded enemy, but its blood has now long continued to flow, and asa last resource has tried to impede the progress of its fell destroyers by sticking to the saw, but by a free use of oil the saw has been kept going and now we see a quivering which with a mighty crackling sound from the direction of the stump tells us that we have not long to wait. The men stop sawing and look up, then we see them seize the saw and pull it out at the back of the cut, which is now opened sufficiently to make this easy, and having done this they jump to the ground but do not run away to any distance, as they are. so well accustomed to the work that they need display no fear. The air is filled with a whist- ling roar and a thundering sound while reverb- erations from all directions follow, and for the moment we are not able to see where this towering beauty of a minute or two ago has disappeared to, but presently the dust has cleared away sufficiently to reveal its beauty lying at full length on the ground, conquered for the first time. We walk up to the butt end of it, which has been cut off the stump twelve feet above ground on account of its having no commercial value lower down, or perhaps the stump swells out to such large proportions that it cannot be cut lower; but here we find by taking up the measuring pole which stands there that even at this distance from the ground the tree measures ten feet in diameter. If you should have any inclinations to climb up on top. of this mighty monster and there is not a stump or something in close proximity to make the ascent possible, you can readily see that ~ ~ trees we cannot but marvel at the you might just as well set to work to construc a means. = I well remember a visit which I accompanied by an Ontario lumberman camp where a number of these giants ha been felled. He was not like the B. C. 1 pounds of avoirdupois up on top of onc big trees; ? We got there, but not until ts I when we reached the top we walked dov tree side by side for a distance of about feet, and could have gone farther but fo: undergrowth which had fallen on top of it is you and I, reader, who are there now while we stand near one of these mammi rt undertakings of man, and as we thus m our thoughts go back to the admonition to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her etc.,” and we wonder why the ant was held before man as a criterion, when all at once are startled by something, and here our increases, for if we are to believe our own a mammoth tree which had been lying 1 this one is now moving off bodily. When mystification has subsided and the fact bec« ‘or real that the tree has gone we follow alon its trail, and when a halt is made we inves gate the cause of this strange mode of pre Tet ure, and we find that down at the other ik of the log, which is perhaps 100 or 120 feet E length, a wire cable is hitched on, and w find that one side of this tree has been will not catch on the skids, or on any ‘obst: tions which may be along the way.

This engine does not run on whe neither is there any track required for it t on, but it will go through any ordinary t motion. But here we find it hitched to stump, and from a drum on the engine a cable is run out in any direction from wh the log is to be hauled, either by the use of line horse, or by another cable, but in instance the line horse is generally used. 7" des , = Reef ee ___ elevation, and could not possibly be controlled él? liga tae Jung, 1905 man with the unpronounceable name, _ accompanies this wire and hooks back, gets SS pos Ox THE CANADA LUMBERMAN the duty of this engine to haul the trees out to the main road, which process is called yard- ing, and this yarding engine may be found any distance from the water within the limit of one mile, and in some instance even farther. Here we find several of these monstrous logs hitch- ed together, one behind the other, and before we have got done wondering what this can mean we see a man hitching a cable on the foremost log, and pretty soon we are again cautioned about standing too close, and the good-natured logger explains the danger in case anything should break, or a hook pull out. Having finished his brief explanation we see him reach up and pull a wire, and believing this to be a signal for something, we repair to a safe distance to watch developments, but when we have moved back a few yards and turn and look round we find that this whole . string of logs has started off down this main road. Our curiosity intensifies now, and as soon as the last one has passed us we quickly fall in line and follow up, or at least, try to follow up, but this is a very difficult road to walk on, on account of there being skids of large diameter embedded crosswise about a-yard apart, these skids being notched in the middle to a depth of ten inches or afoot. Before we have gone far down this road we find that we have suddenly acquired the habit of sitting down rather too abruptly to be of any benefit to our constitution, and before we have got done won- dering why these skids should wear so exceed- ingly smooth we meet a man with a bucket of grease, and without halting longer than to see him daub one or two skids we are led into the secret of why it had been so easy for us to sit down, and also why those logs had glided off so easily, and having ascertained from him that the logs were stopped just a little way down we hurry on to catch up to them. We do not have long to rest, ever, but now that we have become more accustomed to walking on this road we are able to keep in sight for the rest of the trip. Having reached the water we find here another engine similar to the one which we saw yarding out, but much larger. This one is called a road engine, and is equipped with from one to one and a half miles of cable about 7% inch in diameter, also double this amount of a smaller size used for hauling this heavy one back. This small through a block at the end of the is attached to the tow coming in, when one wire comes in the other When the tow has been landed how- one road and and thus goes out. and it is runs desired to go back for another the engineer simply releases the drum on which the heavy wire is wound and sets the other one con- taining the smaller wire in motion, and the who a merry ride. Lumbering on the coast is prosecuted more - vigorously in summer than in winter. Indeed, if the operations are far enough back © from the coast to run into the snow line they cease entirely on the arrival of snow, and the cause of this is easy to understand when it is known that most of this timber is grown at a great i , int HS a | ry 7 a men th. oe a _ b ad if there was snow, for even in summer sand has to be used on the skids on some of the heavier grades, while in other places it is impossible to handle them on this kind of a road, as the descent is too great, and here a chute is built from the level on which the timber stands to the water, and at the top of this chute the engine is placed and it hauls the tree into the chute. and from here it goes down pell mell and plunges into the water two or three thousand feet below. Logging on thé coast has not, as yet, been prosecuted far back from the water, and as timber gets scarce, and we are forced farther back, it may not be presuming too much to say that the present method will have become obso- _ lete, for do we not already see in our mind’s eye a ray of light reflecting upon eoueet ae more modern? We must now leave the affable logger, to whose congeniality much of the pleasure of our trip is due, and now we proceed to the mills where these huge trees are being manu- factured into the various sizes and kinds of finished product, from the 48 x 48 if required, “and almost any length, to the smallest piece of finish. Here, indeed, is something to be wondered at; the ease with which those big logs are handled in some of our larger mills is marvellous. Whenever a log or a heavy piece cut off one of them, or whether it be heavy or light, whenever it is to be moved or transferred in any direction, itis done, not by the main strength of man, but by his wonderful ingenuity. The machinery of the ‘coast mills is extra heavy, being of a special design to meet exist- ing demands, and.the modern mill, of which we are able to show you several in Vancouver if time only permitted, represents a large amount of money—together with the logging outfit and equipment, a very large sum indeed, which in itself speaks more for the energetic and enterprising British Columbia lumbermen than volumes which might be written. I am very glad, kind reader, to have had you go with me on this trip. I trust that you have enjoyed it to at least the extent of what it has cost you. When we have rested we may go out again, in this, or some other direction. Our chief aim in life out here is to be of some use to our friends in the east. Intimate your desires; we long to help you. The Okotoks & High River Lumber Company will have a large cut this season, and will place over 100,000 logs in the boom. The logs are now ready to be rafted down the river to the mill. Mr. J. P. Powell, their manager, is contemplating introducing new ma- chinery and otherwise renovating the mill property the coming summer.

In forging or hardening moulding irons it is important that they should be heated as evenly as possible, for if one part of the cutter is thinner than the other, care must be taken that the thin part does not heat more rapidly than the rest, or it may be burnt and break off at the cutting edge while at work. In heating cut- ters for tempering they should be repeatedly turned over in the fire and withdrawn from it occasionally. In the case of moulding cutters, if the cutting edge is heating too rapidly, it should be pushed through the fire into cooler coals. If there are a number of cutters, great _ care should be taken to temper them as nearly alike as possible, or they will vary in wear and Ee —— Ee the outline of the work will vary accordingly.

Hall, in a letter in the Quebec Chronicle, points out that in the Gaspe penin- sula there exists an excellent opportunity of creating a valuable forest reserve. He describes the territory suitable for such a reserve as follows : ‘‘Commencing at the intersection of the 67th meridian, thence along the rear line of Bonaventure County; thence on the same bearing to the 65th meridian at Lac Edouard ; thence north along the 65th meridian to the 4gth parallel; thence east along the 49th parallel to the intersection with rear line of Township Cap Chat, thence following rear line of Township Romieu and Dalibaire and Cher- bourg to the 67th thence south along the 67th meridian to the place of begin- area of about 2,500 meridian ; ning, comprising an square miles, or Say 1,500,000 acres, more or less. , “Quite a large percentage of this territory is tee license to lumbermen, and if created a a coool ee | a RE EES NE IE LT SATEEOE reserve these limits would immediately be enhanced in value and better bids would be obtainable for the lands not already licensed when put up for sale.

As a source of positive information about what forestry really is, and to spread a know- ledge of its methods, a book has been prepared by Mr. Gifford Pinchot, Forester of the United States Department of Agriculture and Chief of the Bureau of Forestry, entitled ‘‘A Primer of Forestry,” which is published in two parts. Part 1 was issued in 1899, and has passed through several editions, reaching a circulation of about 225,000 copies. It deals with the life of a single tree, with trees as they exist ina forest, with the life of a forest, and with the enemies of the forest. Part 2 of the Primer has just been published. It deals with ‘‘Prac- tical Forestry,” the purpose of which is defined as ‘‘to make the forest render its best service to man in such a way as to increase rather than to diminish its usefulness in the future.” In The “Challenge” Pulp Wood Barker WITH AUTOMATIC WOOD TURNING ATTACHMENT Correct in design ; substantial in construction. long ring-oiling bearings ensure easy running.

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.

General sorrow prevails in the Capital and throughout the Ottawa Valley as the result of the tragic death of Mr. Samuel Bingham, ex- mayor of Ottawa, who was drowned in the Gatineau river, two miles south of Wakefield, on June 17th. Mr. Bingham was an extensive contractor for driving logs down the Gatineau river. Friday evening about 11 o’clock he was advised that a great jam of logs had formed above the Cascade, and shortly after midnight he started to drive to that point. With the assistance of his crew he succeeded in breaking the jam about 8a. m. the next morning, and went to the woods for a while. Afterwards he began work.as a saw filer ana later on entered upon the business of his life and in doing which he lost his life. It was, as has been stated, that of collecting logs on the Gatineau river and floating down.to Ottawa the timber pro- duct of the Gatineau country. For years he had the contract for this work, which, al- though involving many difficulties, was per- formed with entire satisfaction. Over all the operations, extending from the forks of the Gatineau to its outlet, Mr. Bingham was the personal supervisor, never relegating the re- sponsibility to others. If a boom broke or any- orphanages or hospitals. His success in life in a material way was due largely to his indomit- able energy. In religion he was a Catholic— a pillar of St. Bridget’s church. THE BOX ESTIMATOR. Among the more valuable compilations to assist the lumberman, box manufacturer and wood-worker is ‘‘ The Box Estimator,” published by James M. Leaver, of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. This work gives in feet, board measure, the amount of lumber required to make a box of practically any dimensions. The sizes are adjusted to the quarter inch— BRITISH COLUMBIA MILLS, TIMBER AND TRADING COMPANY'S ROYAL CITY PLANING MILLS, NEW WESTMINSTER. x.

His horse and rig were found in the water near Wakefield, some thirty miles from Ottawa, but It is believed that while he was asleep his horse walked into the Mr. Bingham was missing. water and that he was thus drowned. Deceased was born in Ottawa in 1841, and starting as a poor boy attained considerable wealth. Early in life he went to work ina mill at Ramsey village, now known as Almonte.

The public career of Mr. Bingham began in 1880, when he was elected to the Council as a representative of Ottawa Ward. He was elect- ed to the position of mayor in 1897 and re- elected by acclamation in 1898. He never accepted any salary as mayor. Each month when the pay cheque came to hand he endorsed it over to some deserving charity such as the 6. Box-making sheds. that is» between each even inches are three sizes embracing the intervening 4, % and 4. To give an idea of the range covered by this complete work the first size given is I x T, the | last size 100 x 10034. Each intervening size in quarter inches is covered. It is also most useful in the manufacture of doors, sash, blinds, veneers, carriage work, etc. Judging by the number of testimonials the author has received the work is meeting with merited success. From a large number the following are given : 7. Glazing room. 8. Interior a G.

I have examined the blade and “find that it is perfectly straight, and yet it ;- ‘seems to cut more on one side than the other. aT phe: feed i is continuous, so the saw is divided into two sections of teeth, which cut as they eturn { to the end of the frame. Is this right? an the jarring on the log be prevented?” le reproduce the answer given :—‘‘Sussex”’ a does not say what feed they use, nor what sized ti mber they saw. Still there is sufficient detail te form an accurate opinion why his saw makes "the log move while it is being cut. Consider _ the ‘conditions. The saw is perfectly straight, _ and the feed continuous. The teeth are point- ed to each end of the saw, the division between ‘the two sections of the teeth being in the centre ‘ _of the saw. The log is always advancing, no ; ice being made, owing to the saw being st aight, for the periods when the reciprocating - parts are at rest, or, what is of more import- _ance, when the back of the teeth is being pass- ¢ ed through the wood. | Watch the stroke of the saw. The teeth are close against the wood and they clear a path til the half of the saw has passed, then the is still advancing. Without teeth points, pressed hard against them, and then can we wonder that such causes produce objectionable ects? The log moves under the strain, the ‘is jammed, and there is a continual jarring Il the parts. As soon as the saw is right , the teeth which have been rubbing against wood have a chance to clear themselves, ; they do with violence, for is not the wood sing hard against them? A little consider- on about what is needed under the circum- s would soon rectify matters. The saws Ag et so that Pe will only cut with the ‘yy oP : hh Wea s yy phi eh “a Py tcat ts J fe) whee At ae ° he € ois k of the teeth are dragged through, and the saw does not make a kerf, so the log is — ey sensie He Rona race a4 ia THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 3 si ig ene tae See RR ey OS ae. a teeth points, and when the back of the teeth is being pressed through the wood, sufficient kerf should have been taken out by the preceding eut to allow them to pass without any friction. Something similar has to be done with the vertical deal frame saws. The top part has to be thrown forward, so that the cut taken al- lows the teeth to be drawn back as they rise while the wood advances, otherwise the pres- sure on the deal would lift it out of the roller’ and fence. So it must be with the horizontal frame saws. I presume that ‘‘Sussex” has been cutting soft English timber, and has accelerat- ed the feed. If that was very slow, the con- ditions he states would hardly be noticed, but forcing the feed throws a greater strain upon the saw. He must find out what is the great- est advance taken by the travelling table in proportion to the horizontal saw frame, and_ then regulate his saw to that, so that it will be free when not cutting. To do this, the blade must not be kept straight, but greater in width in the centre, tapering to the ends. Allow just a little more than the advance of the table during half the _ stroke of the saw blade, so that when it is at work the conditions will be like this.. Say the saw is at the end of the stroke and about to return. The teeth at the other end will cut their way through the wood, clear a kerf, then the remaining teeth which are pointed the other way will pass through the clearance without touching the wood, although the log is still advancing, owing to the preceding teeth being in advance in the centre of those at the end, and those that are pointed the otHer way will recede, owing to the same ef- fect, so that when they move the reverse Way, and the points are at work, they clear a kerf for the other half of the saw to move in with- out jarring the wood. So if ‘‘Sussex” will arrange to alter his saws that instead of being straight they are wider in the centre than the ends, in proportion to the feed of the machine, he will find that considerably less power will be taken by his horizontal saw frame, and better results obtained from the saws. THE WESTERN CANADA PULP AND PAPER COMPANY. According to recent advices, the Western Canada Pulp and Paper Company has been floated in London, England, and has absorbed the Pacific Coast Pulp & Paper Company and the Industrial Pulp & Paper Company, of Brit- ish Columbia. It is capitalized at $2,500, ooo. The board of directors is composed mainly of heads of paper manufacturing con- cerns in London, as follows : W. C. Ward, Chairman of the London Committee of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Chairman ; Lewis Evans, director of John Dickinson & Co., paper manufacturers; T. Y. Nuttall, director of Cooke & Nuttall, paper manufac- turers; R. A. Workman, of Montgomerie & Workman ; and E. C. Leachman, director of Spicer Bros., Ltd., paper manufacturers and wholesale stationers. The Canadians interested in the companies which have been absorbed are J. J. Shallcross, H. B. Thomson, Percy Criddle, Victoria ; W. W. Beer, Nelson ; G. F. Beer, Toronto, and P. G. Shallcross, Dr. R. E. McKechnie, and Geo. Cowan, Vancouver. This company has 163,000 acres of pulp wood limits, and will establish a plant at Powell river, situated on the mainland just north of Texada island in British Columbia. It is the intention of the company to erect pulp and paper mills just above the falls on the river. There is at least 20,000 h.p. available, and the location is but 600 yards from high water mark. The harbor is also excellent. There will be an ultimate expenditure of $750,- ooo, and the plant is expected to start with a capacity of about roo tons daily. Considerable preliminary work has been done. All surveys of the limits have been made, a topographical survey of the mill site has been completed, and a contour survey car- ried out. Drawings of the proposed buildings, specifications and estimates are already pre- pared. tions commence in construction, between 500 and 1,000 men will be employed. The establishment of pulp industries means a more complete utilization of the timber re- sources of British Columbia. Spicer Bros., of London, Eng., agreed to act as agents of the company for the sale of paper and pulp for a period of ten years. The company have re- served, however, to themselves the selling of their products in the markets of the North American Pacific coast down to and including California. The company has also entered into a contract with Edward Lloyd, Ltd., of London, for the sale for five years of 10, ,400 tons per annum of ‘‘news” paper at satisfac- tory prices. Messrs. Lloyd have the option to renew the contract for a further period of three or five years. It is reported that as soon as opera- It is expected that the mills can be com- : pleted in eighteen months after work begins, and the estimated output per year will be 18,000 tons of ‘‘news” paper and 7,500 tons of sulphite pulp. SYMBOLS FOR HARDWOOD LUMBER GRADES. At a recent meeting of the Hardwood Manu- facturers’ Association of the United States a very important step forward was taken with respect to inspiring the confidence of consum- ers in the grades of lumber put upon the PANEL *”° WIDE /Y 27.

This was done by the adoption of distinctive symbols or marks, one for each of the ten grades into which hardwood lumber is now classified under the rules of that association, The symbols adopted are shown herewith.

The water is then drawn out of the tank, the outer door opened and the load rolled on to rollerrack wagon fortransportation to the yard. The company advise us that the process com- pletely removes all sap and pitch from the lumber and that stock thus treated will dry in the air in about one-half the usual time and can be thoroughly dried in an ordinary kiln in five days. The device is inexpensive and of their own design and the cost of preparing the lumber for the steamer about equal to loading it on to a dry kiln car. On this subject an exchange says: “Care in piling will do a great deal. By using narrow or too little, has-a harmful effect rather than otherwise. Out in Washington a number of years ago, a manufacturer tried the use of smoke in his dry kiln, instead of steam or| hot air and claimed that the lumber took ona bright- . ness that the steam kilns did not impart. He also found that the lumber was lighter than even air-dried stock. This might work in localities where the bulk of the lumber is kiln- dried, but none of these processes are practical for general use.” Deen eee nepeoneennnns) LOGGING OPERATIONS BY COMPRESSED AIR AND STEAM.

This consists of a cross cutting saw, adjusted to an arm, which is fitted with a system of cylinders and pistons, acted upon by compressed air. The saw is brought to the tree or the log, by what is known as the shof- gun feed action in sawmills, only in this instance the saw is brought to the log instead of the log to the saw.

For hauling logs a steam upright engine is set upon a sleigh. The drive wheel is also mounted upon this sleigh, and is direct- ly attached to the engine. A steel cable is made fast at each endof thelogging road, along which the haul is made. This cable lies along the middle of the road, passes up under the sleigh and is coiled four times around the drive wheel. When this wheel is set in motion by the engine, the slack in the cable ahead of the power. It requires eight horse-power to move the machine, all fueled and watered to run, thus leaving twenty-seven horse-power for the load. For skidding, the engine is made stationary, and the cable is converted into a live cable by passing it about a system of up- right rollers, stationed at the angles. This cable is carried about in the woods where the logs have been cut.

The same thing takes place to the rear when the engine is reversed, and the sleigh then moves backward. The sleighs bearing the logs to be hauled, are coupled to the locomotive sleigh, in the same Manner as a train of cars, and the entire train moves easily along the road to its destination. About the curves the cable is kept in its place in the middle of the road by a system of trips, which drop down and permit the sleigh to move Over them.

At the request of a subscriber, we have en- deavored to obtain some information regarding the possibility of successfully preventing sap stain in lumber. Our investigations show that many experiments have been made but that most processes which have been successful are too expensive. The Lumber Anti-Stain Company, of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., have a process which con- sists of dipping the lumber in its undressed condition into a tank containing a certain chemical in a solution of water, or if preferred sprinkling with same instead of dipping.

A method of steaming lumber to prevent stain has been adopted by the Daniel Shaw Lumber Company, of Eau Claire, Wis.

An unauthorized statement that the Quebec Government had decided to stumpage charge on timber has recently caused some concern to persons not well in- formed on the subject. Were such a step contemplated, the licensees might have good ground for objection, but we are officially ad- increase the vised that the question of increasing the dues: has not been seriously considered. Indeed, the Quebec Government have given the lum- bermen an assurance of permanency and sta- bility in the regulations by guaranteeing that for the next five years at least there will be no change in the charge either for ground rent or stumpage dues. The section of the Order-in- Council making such provision reads as fol- lows: ‘‘ The present rate of ground rent for licen- ses to cut timber shall not be increased until the first of September, 1910, and all license holders who have conformed and shall con- form to the regulations concerning the ad- ministration and sale of timber on Crown lands shall have, up to that date, the privilege of renewing their licenses at the same rate of ground rent ; and the dues now exacted by the regulations on all timber cut in virtue of a license shall not be increased before the said date of first of September, 1910.” Itis quite improbable that the administra- tors of Quebec timber lands are at the present time considering the regulations which shall apply five years hence, for the expediency of such regulations would depend largely upon the condition of the lumber trade at that time. Meanwhile the Order-in-Council quoted above should be sufficient. The Quebec Government are also to be commended for repealing the Act in respect to the granting of land to the parents of twelve living children. About a year ago the Legis- lature amended the Act and made it possible for all parents of twelve children to select a hundred acres in the licensed timber limit nearest their domicile, and the limit holder might then, upon payment of $50, secure for fifteen years an ownership of that hundred acres clear of all charges. This amendment was taken advantage of by persons who did not require the land but who saw an oppor- tunity of getting $50. The result was that timber limit owners were compelled to pay $50 to a great number of applicants. It is said that in one instance, that of Price Bros., a firm holding limits near a thickly settled dis- trict, sufficient applications for homesteads on their land were received to take up three times the area of the limits. The legislative body saw the injustice of the law and repealed the amended Act. - THE PRACTICE OF ECONOMY IN LUMBERING, Few branches of industry offer greater opportunities than the lumber trade for the practice of those economies upon which de- pend so largely the success of nearly all busi- ness enterprises. The many prosperous saw- milling establishments in Canada stand as evi- dence that in the adoption of economical methods of manufacture the lumbermen have kept pace with the march of progress, and it may be predicted that in this respect they will in the future continue to be among the leaders. To what extent modern appliances have been adopted may be ascertained by a comparison of the sawmill of to-day with that of but a few years ago. It would be a mistake to assume, however, that lumbering had reached perfection, for a little observation shows that there is still room for improvement. Greater attention should be given to the adoption of methods and machinery which will result in a saving in timber, for not- withstanding the very commendable policy of establishing forest reserves which is now being recognized by all Governments, it is doubtful whether the increment will be equal to the consumption. If otherwise, the value of timber must increase. The use of the axe in felling trees results in more waste than if the saw were employed. Would the universal adoption of the saw in lumbering operations not be an advance step? The necessity of cutting the trees as closely as possible to the ground is recognized by most lumbermen, but it is difficult to find axe- men who duly appreciate this fact, and frequent- ly several inches of the best timber is left on the stump. Here a considerable saving might be made. The modern sawmill represents a very com- plete establishment, and were all mills modern, the waste product capable of profitable utiliza- tion would not be very great. Many of the smaller and more poorly equipped mills, how- ever, still allow too much good timber to go unmarketed. This might be remedied to some extent, we believe, by the cutting of a greater percentage of small dimension stock. A question of vital interest to lumber manu- facturers and also pertinent to the subject under 7 =- ‘ ad consideration, was discussed at the recent _ meeting of the Hardwood Manufacturers’ Association of the United States. It was the cutting of lumber to the standard widths of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch and lengths of 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet, etc. It was pointed out that, besides the waste of timber, this method cost much to the manufacturer in the course of a year. Where a board is but a little short of 16 feet, nearly two feet has to be cut off to— bring it down to 14 feet. The same applies to the width. A committee recommended the adoption of standard widths of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 inches and wider, and the addition of the odd foot lengths between the minimum — and maximum lengths now in use. It is im- probable that any attempt will be made to put the change into effect immediately, but it is almost certain to come, and is but another illustration of the economies which are being nd ’ practised by the lumber trade. Ab wo TENDENCY OF STUMPAGE AND LUMBER > PRICES. ae That eminent American forester, Dr. D. E. Fernow, recently read before the American | Association for the Advancement of Science a most interesting paper entitled “The Move- ment of Wood Prices and Its Influence on Forest Treatment”. He reviewed in a very masterly way the trend of lumber and stump- age values since the early part of the nime- teenth century and submitted some conclusions which are worthy of consideration by lumber- men. The statements presented indicate two things very clearly, first, that the advance in the price of lumber does not represent a greater profit to the manufacturer, and, secondly, that as the timber supply on this continent becomes reduced, prices of stumpage and lumber are likely to advance until they are higher than those now prevailing in European countries. As affecting the first questiom, it is shown that the stumpage of white pine in Michigan rose during the twenty years from 1866 to 1886, by constant steps without a break from one dollar per thousand feet to between $4.50 and $6.50, while white pine log run lumber gs fluctuated during the whole period only between $11.50 at the beginning and $13 at the end, being never higher than $14 and for five years of that period sinking as low as $ro. It will thus be seen that lumber prices do not move proportionately with stumpage, due to the fact that the price of a manufactured product like lumber is influenced by the competition of manufacturers, cost of labor and transportation id and by new supplies becoming available. bby Asis generally known, the price of timber stumpage has been steadily increasing for the i last century, and during the last ten years the increase has been very marked throughout the — whole world. The Prussian Government is the | owner of over 6,000,000 acres of timber land, — and as it has been carefully managed for one — hundred years or more, the results of operation © are obtainable. The present annual cut is be- tween 250,000,000 and 300,000,000 cubic feet, — the total sales representing from $13,000,000 to $15,000,000 annually. This timber is not sold in the stump but is cut into log lengths. — It is estimated that from 1830 to 1903 the — ~ + Py stu 1page value increased at the rate of 1 ¥ per cent. annually, that is to say, the prices of _stumpage are double what they were fifty years _ ago and nearly treble what they were at the beginning of the period. Dr. Fernow concludes that stumpage prices are now rising relatively faster than lumber prices and that as knowledge of the conditions : supply in the world grows, prices will every- here rise at an accelerated rate until that level been reached which forces reduction of umption. That practical business men re this belief may be inferred from the icy of certain timber limit owners. In the of Mississippi half a million acres of the pine land are held by three owners for the ire rise of prices, these owners refusing to- three dollars per thousand feet, when else- here in accessible situations two dollars is considered a fair price. The present average stumpage price in Europe is ten dollars per thousand feet board measure. De Fernow’s concluding remarks are: “All the evidence seems to lead to the con- slusion that knowledge of available supplies increasing and exercising its influence, and at a more rapid rise of wood prices than in past is to be anticipated.” SAW TEETH. _ By J.

The steel is forced to a convex outline, giving strength clear across the cutting edge, and the lips are not thin and weak but have a sufficient amount of metal to add still further to strength. Nothing short or nails or stones break such corners. This swage allows for making a tooth with a long side cut, which is particularly adapted to gummy woods, or for making a pin pointed corner for hard-woods, and the spread may be obtained with equal facility in either case. But even with this tool, unless it is in the hands of a very expert workman, there will be found a slight variation in the spread of different teeth. This is not a mark of demerit, and detracts in no way from the value of the tool. Swages are designed to spread only, and when one has one that will perform the operation as quickly and as scientifically as the Hanchett swage, there should be no more desired. The company, however, being alive to the conditions of the lumber industry, have recently put on the market a swage shaper that makes a fitting companion to the swage. I think I was one of the first enjoying the pri- vilege of trying one of these shapers, and I must say that five minutes was sufficient to convince me of the Superiority of this tool. It not only does all that the makers claim for it, but does it more quickly. There is absolutely no excuse for finding fault with it, as the spread may be regulated to an infinitesimal degree,the HANCHETT BAND SWAGE SHAPER. lever operating the dies being adjustable to any posi- tion, without changing the position of the dies, and no matter how much compression is sought the swage is not crumpled up or hurt in any way.

I counsel filers who anticipate either both or one of such tools to try the Hanchett. THE KINCAID ROLLER BEARING. Engineers, manufacturers and others using power will be interested in a new roller bearing which has been placed on the market. The inventor of this bear- ing is Mr, John Kincaid, of Vancouver, B.C., who has been working on it for several years and has brought it to its present state of perfection. Many good thing's are claimed by the inventor for this bearing. While it is calleda roller bearing and is that in every sense, yet it is constructed on entirely new and original lines. One of the advantages, which a glance at the illustration makes clear, is the dispensing with collars on the shaft, the cones themselves preventing a sliding motion to the shaft. The Kincaid roller bearing, as it is called, is claimed to be universal in its application to anything that may be properly termed a journal bearing, effecting a saving of over 160 per cent. of friction and 75 per cent. of oil. The ends of the spindle, upon which the rollers are distributed, engage ina frame ring made in segments, for the purpose of application and removal, which maintain their distance apart and prevent the rolle coming in contact with each other as in the case of ball bez rings. A few of the advantages claimed for the bearing are the following: (r) The roller grooves in the box being cast on a “‘chill”, insure a hard wearing surface for the rollers, (2) The ‘‘box” being cast in one piece and dowel pins fitted in before breaking apart, insures a perfect alignment of the roller grooves. (3) The double cone rollers are arranged in double series to eliminate any possibility of cross-winding, their distance The Pillow Block Type of Bearing Showing Rollers in Double Series. apart being maintained by a frame ring at each end of the box, in which the ends of the roller spindles are en- gaged. (4) The sleeve is closely fitted to the journal, and firmly locked in position, but can be removed at any time if desired without disturbing other attach- ments on the shaft. Both sleeve and rollers are of steel, fully hardened and tempered,thereby prolonging their utility. (5) The self oiling attachment and oil chamber in the box are designed to eliminate the need of frequent oiling or the usual waste of oil. A patent dust-proof ring is also a strong feature with the bear- ing. (6) The peculiar form of the rollers renders them particularly adaptable for end thrusts and this itself ought to make it an extremely welcome invention. A number of tests have been conducted and when tested in the same way and under precisely the same conditions, the Kincaid indicated, it is claimed, a saving of 162 per cent. of power over the ordinary type of babbitted bearing.

The arrangements were complete, and all who anticipated a pleasant time had the satisfaction of its realization. The visiting members and candidates from Toronto, London, Galt, Woodstock, Orillia, Chatham, Gravenhurst and other points reached Midland shortly after the noon hour, when they were met by a local deputation and shown The great centre of attrac- tion, of course, was the magnificent saw mills, of which Midland is justly so proud. Where can four more complete mills be found? Two double-cutting bands and a circular comprise the sawing equipment of the Playfair & White mill, two double-cutting bands are to be found in Norman L. Playfair’s mill and similar equip- ment in Geo. Chew & Son’s mill, while Chew Bros. operate acircular and gang and double cutting band. These mills turn out lumber at the rate of upwards of 500,000 feet per day, which, estimating at fifteen logs to the thous- and, means a daily comsumption of 7,500 logs. At 5 o’clock the party embarked upon steam- ers en route to Honey Harbor. In addition to the steamer ‘‘Maud”, bearing the banner of the Hoo-Hoo Navigation Company, the private yachts of Dwight J. Turner and D. S. Pratt conveyed some of the members to the con- catenation headquarters. The weather was warm and the sail on the Georgian Bay was delightful and much appreciated. If the craft had any sorrows they were all forgotten for the time. Arriving at Honey Harbor, the first duty of the party was to assemble for the group photograph which is here reproduced. And now for the concatenation. The large dining room of the Hotel ‘‘Royal Honey Harbor” met the requirements splendidly. The ‘‘Supreme Nine’ was represented by Supreme Arcanoper W. C. Laidlaw, of To- ronto, while the Vicegerent Snark for Eastern Canada, Dan. Ferguson, of London, was present in his official capacity. The officers were: Snark, D. Ferguson. Senior Hoo-Hoo, D. L. White. Junior Hoo-Hoo, J. G. Cane. Bojum, W. Hadley. Scrivenoter, O. H. Vogt. Jabberwock, Ward Sutherland. Custocatian, W. J. MacBeth. Arcanoper, W. J. Hetherington. Gurdon, H. J. Bartlett. The blind kittens who had evinced a desire to walk in the light of Hoo-Hoo numbered sixteen, all good material. It was after 10 o’clock when they were permitted to enter the onion bed, which was fresh and green as the result of the abundant growth of the spring season, and when once commenced the work was lively enough for all, some of the kittens even showing fatigue while under tests of physical strength, such as ‘‘lung testing” and “fencing”. The extras which were introduced as the result of the additional duties imposed upon the Scrivenoter were well carried out and the ‘‘Cornmeal” diet provided for the occasion bas, according to report, had a stimulating effect upon the kittens. Despite the diffi- culty of a number of the feats, all the candi- dates were successful in reaching the goal, and finally did honor in an audible way to the Sacred Cat with its benign tail.

After the concatenation a ‘‘Session on the Roof” was held, at which a bounteous repast was served, and during which an orchestra dispersed sweet music. The menu was printed on birch bark and the songs of the evening on sheets of sulphite wood pulp furnished by the Riordan Paper Mills of Merritton, Ont. At each plate were two souvenirs, one being a paper weight in the form of a miniature iron car wheel for tram service, and bearing the compliments of the Midland Engine Works Company; the other a steel watch chain of neat design on which are shown a file, band saw, shingle saw, circular saw and cross-cut saw, - this being the gift of Henry Disston & Sons, of Philadelphia, through their Canadian manager, W. E. Radcliff. Vicegerent Snark Ferguson presided at the banquet, and after congratulating the local members upon the efficient arrangements made for the entertainment of *the visitors, called upon Mayor D. L.

JOHN RIVER LOG DRIVING DISPUTE. The trouble between the stream'drivers of the Upper St. John river and the owners of the booms in regard to which the dispute _ arose, reached a crisis on Saturday, May 27th, ‘when Mr. Levi Pond, the veteran driver, arrived at Van Buren with the corporation drive. Finding that the booms of the Van Buren Lum- ber Company interfered with the course ot his drive, Mr. Pond promptly blew up one with dynamite and was about to treat the next one Ein: a similar way when a party composed ; chiefly of the employees of the Van Buren Lumber Company, armed with rifles, ordered him to desist and threatened him with instant death if he presisted. _ As this demonstration took place on the _ Canadian side, Mr. Pond sent a New Bruns- - wick constable to arrest one of the leaders of - the beligerents. The constable was met by half : a dozen of the rival party who defied him and threatened him with rifles. The constable - then withdrew.

NEW LOGGING CARS. Messrs. Rhodes, Curry & Company, of Am- herst, N.S., have built some logging cars of special design for the Springfield Railway, which is owned by the Davison Lumber Com- pany, of Bridgewater, N.S. They are 35 feet in length and are equipped with the cross log- ging attachment. This attachment consists of four bed plates, preferably 56 lb. which are spaced and secured to side sills with rails, BRIDGEWATER, N. S. stakes are connected with shackle and 4” best chain 12” This chain is drawn across car and passes through a mal- leable iron lock bracket as shown in Fig. 1. This bracket is secured to car body with bolts and is fitted with a lock bar made of mild steel drawn to 7%” sides and back and ¥%” front, ends bent parallel to form a loop, so that when lock is inserted it grips the chain and is held in this position with cotter pins. It will be seen by Fig. 1 that stakes and bed chains are placed directly opposite at end of bed plates. above floor. There are three additional lock brackets placed on each side of the car to which are at- tached binding chains %” B.B. 20 ft. long. This attachment can be removed at a very small cost if car is desired for other service. To discharge loaded logs the operator, after removing binding chains, will go to the right side of the car, remove cotter pins in lock bars and with a sharp blow of a hammer on projecting end of lock bars loosen the chain and allow it to pass rapidly up through lock brackets, allowing stakes to fall in position as Fic. 2,—NEw LoGGiInG Car FoR Davison LUMBER COMPANY, BRIDGEWATER, N.

The stake holders are made of malleable iron and secured to side sills with four 3/” bolts. The holders are slotted to admit full size of stake on front and grooved on sides to shown in Fig. 2. Logs can be discharged as readily from one side as the other. .. The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company, of Green- ville, Michigan, the well-known manufacturers of hol- low blast grates, edgers and trimmers, inform us that they are crowded to their utmost capacity, the volume of their business breaking all records. The sales of their grates are especially large. This is due to the fact that there is no better investment for any sawmill that is not getting all the steam it requires. —— = ‘ i = F — : . LUMBE ae Pw Vins, RMAN E aes i): CANADA DE LOACH GANG EDGERS. The belt feed so commonly used on edgers is un- satisfactory, as the belt stretches, the surface of the small driving spindle is insufficient and the result is a source of continued vexation and expense to the mill man. For these reasons the DeLoach Mill Manufac- turing Company, of Atlanta, Georgia, decided to equip their edgers with variable feed and three rolls driven, which they believe possesses many advantages. Con- cernng their edgers they say : “All of our gang edgers, five sizes, are now equipped with this feed, which affords a complete remedy for the annoyance and delay known to exist with a belt feed, in addition to which it gives a complete variation of the feed to correspond with the power, thickness of the lumber and number of saws used. As on our planers, the variable friction feed is used in connection with a worm gear and we call especial attentionto the great power we have thus developed and to its remarkable simplicity. “In addition to the above improvement, we present a new feature in the four feed rolls and the manner of SPECIAL TQ LUMBERMEN, apt he = 1.G.V SS a a en 600 pounds. - SCRIBNER’S LUMBER AND LOG BOOK A handy book for Lumbermen, Gives Correct Measurements of ee Scantlings, Boards and Planks ; i Cubical Contents of Square and +» Round Timber ; Doyle’s Rules, and much other practical infor- ‘“% mation.

The lumber market is showing some indications of midsummer quietness but without any impairment of its strong tone. The manufacturers appear to have the utmost confidence in the stability of con- ditions and are showing no disposition to cut prices. A large percentage of this season’s production of white pine lumber has already been contracted for, and this, notwithstanding that one or two of the largest wholesale dealers have contracted for considerably less stock than during the corresponding months last year. A visit to some of the largest manufacturing points on the Georgian Bay shows that there is not a great deal of white pine which has not already passed out of first hands. During the past week we have been told of increased inquiries fur stock for export to Great Britain, and if the next few weeks should witness an improvement in this direction the lumber trade would be great- ly encouraged. Shipping is not active, the present time being between seasons; the old stock is nearly all shipped out and much of the new stock is not yet in ship- ping condition. Many manufacturers are watching the hemlock market very closely but we have not learned of any disposition to sacrifice stock, the general opinion be- ing that hemlock is still too cheap. Birch and basswood represent the two extreme conditions of the hardwood trade. The tormer is very strong and active, while the latter is almost correspondingly weak and quiet. Considering the slump in basswood prices which has taken place during the past few months, some recovery would seem to be in order. No. 18 QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK, As the result of the strike of carpenters in Montreal, the movement of lumber in that city has slackened, and if it should continue for any length of time, the effect upon the local lumber market will be quite unfavorable. An early settlement is look- ed for, however, when building operations will be resumed with increased activity and the lumber demand revive accord- ingly. Prices of most kinds of lumber are firm. Perhaps the feature of the market is the demand for birch both for \ home consumption and export. The re- turns-show that 197,600 cubic feet of birch and maple timber was received at Quebec up to June 30th of this year, as compared with 111,960 cubic feet for the correspond- ing period of 1904. Elm also shows a much larger production, the figures for this year being’ 399,000 cubic feet, as compared with 131,000 cubic feet in 1904 and 216,000 cubic feet in 1903. The quantity of waney white pine received at Quebec is about 100,000 cubic feet less than last year. Reports from the Upper St. John River indicate more favorable log driving con- ditions during the last ten days. Consider- able rain has fallen and the river has risen materially, The probabilities now are that the estimates as to the total volume of the hang-up of logs will have to be modified somewhat in order to be correct. The opinion prevalent among those well versed in these matters is that the figures will aggregate from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 feet, which amount is partieipated in by perhaps a score of operators. While a hang-up of these dimensions is bound to cause a scarcity of logs in several cases, most of those interested have enough in safe water to supply their mills for the greater part of the manufacturing season. Again, it is possible that much of the quantity mentioned might come for- ward later, although such an event would require remarkably heavy rains. UNITED STATES. The lumber trade of the United States continues to reflect most satisfactory con- ditions. Although the demand is not as heavy as in the spring season, still there is no accumulation of stock, and orders are being refused on account of inability to supply seasoned material. Much of the lumber in the yards is still too green for shipment. The shipments of white pine lumber from Minneapolis for the first three weeks in June were greater than in any other year since 1901, which is an in- dication that manufacturers have marketed a large quantity of stock this year. The demand for white pine for building opera- tions is enormous and if it should keep up II until well into the fall some items of pine are almost certain to advance in price. Hemlock is in fair supply but is going rapidly into consumption, dimension having the greatest call. Notwithstanding that hardwoods do not exhibit as much strength as pine, nothing but an optimistic view can be taken of the future of that market. Considering the cost of production, prices are relatively low and manufacturers will hold their stock rather than sell below present prices. The strongest items are plain-sawed white and red oak, birch and ash. There is also a fair enquiry for elm. The hardwood flooring people are enjoy- ing a good trade and many of them find the capacity of their factory taxed to the utmost. Red cedar shingles are practical- ly unchanged, but in some markets are showing signs of a little more strength. GREAT BRITIAN, British importers of lumber still seem to lack confidence, and although the quantity contracted for is exceptionally small, very little business is being done. The London consumption shows a marked falling off as compared with one year ago, and the publication of the figures has caused buy- ers to be even more cautious. Recent sales of White Sea lumber have been made on a basis of £8 for third quality deals, which represents a considerable drop from the prices which were asked earlier in the year. It isa question if importers have not become too pessimistic, as they are likely to discover a considerable shortage in the supply towards the approach of winter. It may then be too late to acquire stecks, whereas those who purchase at prevailing prices and carry the lumber for a short time are likely. to profit thereby. When the present waris finally terminated, the lumber trade will doubtless improve. Pine deals have been selling slowly, as few shippers have made any concession in price. Red pine deals are not finding favor and are difficult to dispose of. Spruce deals have been offering freely and. have declined slightly in price, recent sales hav- ing been made at £7 5s per standardc,i.f. Liverpool. There is a better demand for hemlock deals, and birch logs are in fair demand. Heavy consignments of American oak planks have been received at London, with the result that prices have weakened.

Lately we have been getting as much as $33 for firsts and seconds, $23 for No. 1 common and $16 for No. 2 common. Thisis about $1.50 over the list. I find that cull, or No. 2 common basswood, is a ready seller at $16. To-day I sold 1,500,000 feet of straight mill cull at $15 Chicago delivery, which is 50 cents above the list. I understand that some sales of basswood are being made in Chicago at $2 less than the prices I have quoted, but I think that if those hav- ing basswood will carefully look into the market they will find that there is no necessity for selling at less prices than the above. Our company has been buy- ing basswood right along and we are confident that it. will be much higher in price this fall. Weare not urging it on the market at present, believing it good stock to hold. From Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company’s review of the Barbados market we extract the following: We have no arrivals to report during the fortnight, but understand that a couple of cargoes of white pine are expected, which will meet with a very flat market, as dealers are well supplied with this des- cription, and will expect to make further purchases at reduced prices. Spruce is not in heavy stock, but as the crop is virtually over, the demand for this is light, and next arrivals would probably not realize late values. Receipts of shingles have been nil, but we shall no doubt soon receive shipments of Long Cedar from Gaspe, and as stocks of these are very small, first arrivals should sell well. Cedar laying on the other hand are in full supply, and a cargo of these which is near at hand will meet with a rather dull market. W. C. CRAWFORD Tilbury Ont. . « Manufacturer of .

They hold that having had this rate since 1903 they have been giving an advantage to the trade, and now that the Great Northern has merely met the rate it is not a menace to their business. It is also their claim that the shingle product of British Columbia is superior to that of Puget Sound mills, which will help them to hold their trade. BUFFALO LUMBER RECEIPTS. | BUFFALO, June 2oth, 1905.—The lake trade has been for the most part confined to pine for this port,.and, though there will be a revival of the movement of lake hardwood, it will not be so great as it was expected to be some time ago, as there was an overstock of it in certain quarters. Scarcely anything arrived by lake in April, as the ice held the fleet back. Now, with a tair amount in there is something of a lull and freights are very dull. Following is the list to June 1: ‘ Season—— May, 1905 1905 1904 Lumber feet. . . 20,356,000 20,906,000 5,654,000 Shingles number . 28,977,000 30,C47,000 725,000 Lath, pieces . 336,500 336,500 3,075,000 It will be seen that shingles are promi- nent now, as lath was early last season. The shingle crade is demoralized by the sending out ofa host of consignment lots from the Pacific coast, which were ship- ped on the supposition that the demand was good and they could all be sold on the way. The demand is good, but not good enough to absorb all that came this way, so quite a good part of the shipment had to be sacrificed. steadied down somewhat, but prices are stilllow. Lathis very scarce and high. The big lake movement of it last spring did not last, so there is not now much chance of its amounting to much. _———————————— or LUMBER CONDITIONS IN MICHIGAN. Excessively wet weather during May and for the most of June has somewhat interfered with the lumber business at Bay City and Saginaw, making it difficult to handle lumber to advantage. In general, however, the volume of business is fairly good and prices for white pine are firmly held. In fact, coarse lumber used particu- larly in the manufacture of box shooks is held at such prices for pine that box manu- facturers are using hemlock and basswood culls for shooks, and the same can be bought at considerably less prices than pine is held at, Mill culls of pine are worth $14 and $15, while basswood culls, which make good box shooks, have been bought at $8 and $10. The movement has nov, \ CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Pine dealers are getting in supplies, the receipts during May being much larger than they were for the same month last year. There came into the Saginaw river during May 18,829,056 feet of pine lumber, of which 12,744,066 feet went to dealers in Bay City and 6,085,000 feet to Saginaw dealers. Indications now are that the receipts of lumber here this season by lake will be fully as large as last year. Handy Brothers bought 15,000,000 feet at Duluth, which is now coming along, the firm hav- ing chartered a steamer that brings down over a million feet at a trip. The bulk of the lumber coming here comes from the Georgian Bay district. Mershon, Schuette, Parker & Company have received a few cargoes and more is coming along. The hardwood business is fairly good and manufacturers and dealers state that it is not difficult toselllumber. Maple has not been quite so firm, but it is moving well, and when converted into flooring brings $3 a thousand more than it did last year. The flooring firms all report a fair business and all are busy. Basswood, elm and ash are doing very well and are firmly held. There is a good demand for hemlock and it sells rapidly. There has been very little accumulation of hemlock owing to the demands of the trade, and some firms are selling stock green from the saw.— New York Lumber Trades Journal. Many persons are always in the market for lumber, and the manufacturer or dealer who advertises what stock he has for sale is certain to get more business than his too conservative competitor.

Of Wisconsin hardwoods the American Lumberman says: ¥ | Hardwoods are dull. Rock elm is in demand by the agricultural machinery factories, but soft elm is very quiet indeed. Most of this is used by furniture manufac- turers and they are not buying, as they have considerable stock on hand. Besides, ,soft elm is not as plentiful now as five or six years ago. For instance, one firm cutting 2,000,000 feet of hardwoods this year reports 126,000 feet of elm, or only ‘about 6 per cent. the bulk of its stock be- ing birch, basswood and maple. A few years ago soft elm was about one-quarter of the total, but it is getting scarcer and many factories are using birch to the ex- clusion of elm. Soft elm always will be a favorite wood for certain classes of trade, but it is not as popular as it was at one time. F Maple and birch are selling to some ex- tent, the first to implement concerns and the second to planing mills. There is some demand for ash, oak and basswood also, but there is more lumber than buyers However, this seems to be a midsummer dullness only and trade will start up strong- er than ever in the fall. Prices are firm and values steady. x lt ret iy % for = ~ oo CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION BRITISH COLUMBIA NEWS. B. F. Butler, of Sandpoint, and Robert Miller, of Rathdrum, have a tie contract on the Spokane and International Ry. It will require about 400,000 ties for the main lines, from the International line to Spo- kane. The contract amounts to over $100,000, A deal was recently concluded by which New Wesminster parties purchased the sawmill at Chilliwack from the estate of Jacob Zink. The new owners are George Blakely and Peter Grant, of the T. J. Trapp & Co., and J. Rennie and Harry Pollard, late assistant millwright and saw- yer at the Brunette sawmills. Mr. Blake- ly states that the mill will be put in Operation at once. At the figure given for it there is an excellent opportunity to make a good thing. Mr. Grant, with Messrs. Rennie and Pollard, will remove to Chilliwack. Mayor Coburn, of Ladysmith, recently visited the cedar limits. owned by the Ladysmith Lumber Company on Howe Sound. A. P. Stevenson, who leased the mill of the Moyie Lumber Company at Moyie, B.C., and has purchased the logs in the boom, has commenced operations. There are upwards of two million feet of log's to be cut and it will take about two months to vil. complete the work. The capacity of the mill is about 50,000 feet per day. The lumber will be loaded and sent to the Hanbury planing mill at Elko just as it comes from the saw. Provided more logs can be procured the mill will be kept run- ning until the end of the year. There are several parties already figuring on such a contract. The resumption of operations at this mill means much to Moyie. The Canadian Timber & Sawmills, Ltd., have taken a step which will tend to their mill at Trout Lake operating at an early date. The mill wasclosed down in August last when it was generally conceded it was paying for itself, and a deadlock has re- mained eversince. The principal creditor of the company was E. L. Kinman, and the matter has been in litigation ever since the shutdown. It is now stated that Mr. Kinman has accepted an offer of settle- ment made by the company and that the mill will resume operations. The formation is announced of a lumber company to be known as the Chilliwack Lumber Company, consisting wholly of New Westminster men. It is capitalized at $10,000, and will, itis understood, take over the mills at Vedder Crossing, which will be reopened shortly. The board of the company is as follows: D, B. Hall, president ; J. H. Ashwell, vice-president ; S. A. Cawley, secretary-treasurer ; James Bailey, H. Gervan and S. Meller. Mr. Fraser, late of the Royal City Mills, will act as superintendent. A deal of considerable importance was concluded last month. The Jenkins Lum- ber Company, of Blaine, has purchased on the North Arm of the Inlet timber lim- its containing about 130,000,0co feet. Messrs, Peers and Clement are now open- ing a camp there, and will carry on the work of logging the claim. The same company has limits comprising about 15,- 000,000 feet of timber at Howe Sound. A. J. Faber, of Vancouver, has opened another camp for the same firm farther up the coast. A dispatch from Wilmer, B.C., dated June 17th, says: The Columbia River Lumber Company last week purchased a whole block of land in Athalmer, fronting on Main street and adjoining the river. It is given out that th> company will erect a building 100 feet long to be used as a store and warehouse for their treight, from which the logging camps are to be supplied.

A TYPICAL ROCKY MOUNTAIN MILL. One of the most beautiful sights ever un- folded to the vision of human eyes is that seen from the plant of the Fernie Lumber Company at Fernie, B.C. Situated in the very heart of the Rocky Mountains, encircled by a series of grand snow-clad peaks, the Fernie Lumber famous Three Sisters, Mount Fernie (called after Bill Fernie, the founder of the town), Mount Sentinel, the Lizard Range and Cave Mountain. The Crow’s Nest Pass lumbering industry shows its greatest activity along the Elk river from the mouth of Michel Creek to the Elk FERNIE LUMBER COMPANY’S SAWMILL IN THE ROCKIES, NEAR FERNIE, B. C. Company have their saw mill. The plant is situated one mile from the town, on the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway, spur lines of which run into the yards. The Elk river passes through the company’s premises. Standing in front of the mill one can see the entrancing sight referred to above, the FERNIE LuMBER ComPANY’s GANG CUTTING A TREE AT THE FOOT OF THE ROCKIES. The Fernie Lumber Company had one and a half million feet of lumber left in their yards from last year, but will this year make about the usual cut, all depending on the state of the water in the Elk river. If the water rises sufficiently a good crop of logs will be secured. If it does not rise high enough to float there sath. sr Mad FERNIE LUMBER COMPANY—CROP OF LOGs. river mouth. The valley here for nearly one hundred miles was clothed on both sides with a magnificent forest of heavy timber. On the west side of the stream it has been held by lumber companies, while the east side from Coal Creek to Sparwood belonged to the Crow’s Nest Pass Coal Company, who are still lumbering for themselves. The pioneer saw mill of the Elk Valley was erected by the firm of McLean, McDonald & Allister, all Ontario men. This mill was erected in 1898 on the site where now stands the Fernie Lumber Company’s plant. Of the original mill firm only Mr. John McDonald re- mains in the valley, being now employed with the Fernie Lumber Company as superintendent of the planing mill. The president of the Fernie Lumber Com- pany is Mr. A. McDougall, and Mr. Lawrence M. Proctor is general manager. These two gentlemen are typical mountain lumbermen and have been actively associated in lumber- ing for many years. Mr. McDougall is an old Ottawa Valley man, hailing from Arnprior. He came to Fernie to engage in lumbering in 1896. Mr. Proctor was born in Ogdensburg, N.Y., and first went into the lumbering busi- ness twenty-three years ago. He came to Fernie, B.C., in February, 1898, and has since become a well-known figure among the Rocky Mountain lumbermen, mastering the varied details of skidding the logs from the highest peaks through the various processes of manu- facture until the lumber is shipped. will be a short crop, as also will be the case if it rises too high to carry away the bridges and dams. The pond where the logs are placed before cutting is a natural one, a small dam being sufficient to maintain a full head of water. The saw mill is operated with a 60 inch circular saw, and maintains a steady running. It is fitted to receive, if necessary, a band mill. In the plant are edgers, trimmers, nig- gers, slab slashers, live rollers, lath mill, FERNIE LUMBER COMPANY'S PILING GROUNDS — Rocky MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE. planing mill with three planing machines, band saws, turning lathes, rip saws, etc. The mill site occupies about 130 acres in extent. The company have about seven thousand acres of splendid timber, composed of fir, spruce, cedar and tamarac, all being 24 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN JuLy, 1905 within easy hauling distance of the mill. There is also quite a bit of cottonwood on the com- pany’s limits which they intend to cut shortly and try as an experiment for wagon and buggy box stock. This wood is called whitewood by some. The timber is driven down the Elk river from the limits as far as is practicable, but a great deal is brought in by sleighs in winter— a road being made anda sprinkler being run all night until the first hauling team starts in the morning. Owing to the cheapness of fuel (both wood FERNIE LUMBER COMPANY'S PLANING MILL GANG. and coal being abundant) hundreds of cords of slabs are burnt as waste. These slabs were sent to the prairie towns, going as far east as Moose Jaw and Regina, but it did not pay for the cost of handling. Logging in the mountains is done by sleds where practicable, or by means of log slides built down the mountain sides. These slides are made by two rows of logs lying close to- gether, thus 00, and from which the bark has been peeled. A third or smaller log is some- times used, thus 000. Between these logs the great sticks of timber come shooting down the sides of the mountains into the streams below. Where sleighs are used and the track Mr. LAwRENCE M. PROcTOR, General Manager Fernie Lumber Company, Fernie, B. C. becomes too slippery, men are stationed at the sides and put on sand to prevent the runners sliding too freely. In answer to a question one of the loggers said : ‘‘The timber in the mountains is pretty well mixed, but spruce seems to be more abundant at a lower elevation than tamarac. As a rule the fir and the tamarac grow higher up on the mountain. Like all real practical lumbermen, both Mr. McDougall and Mr. Proctor are of the genial, sociable sort, ever ready to say a good word for a rival and always affable. In the accom- panying photo of the planing mill hands the group contains ten men belonging to No. 2 rifle company of the Rocky Mountain Rangers, Mr. Haves H. Ross, of Ross Bros. & Co. two of these being sergeants and one a corporal. As the writer came away from this mill he passed the men’s boarding house nestling snugly under the majestic brow of big Mount Fernie, a grand peak, towering away up into the clouds and always snow-clad and_ice- capped at its summit. A KOOTENAY VALLEY MILL. The old mill site at the junction of the Elk and Kootenay rivers at Elkmouth, B.C., has been thoroughly overhauled this spring and placed among the best of the B.C. mills. This mill was formerly owned by the Elkmouth Lumber Company, who were succeeded by the young and enterprising firm of Ross Bros. & Company. It was bought from the Trites- Wood Trading Company, of Fernie, in Janu- ary of this year by the Ross Brothers. Elkmouth is situated on the line of the Great Northern Railway, near Krag, B. C. The mill was established about four years ago and has been running every year since. The present owners, Messrs. Hales H. and Joseph W. Ross, Manitoba, where their father, David Ross, ran The latter retired from active business five years ago and is now are from Whitemouth, a saw-mill for 26 years. living at Whitemouth. Ross Bros. & Company are now cutting about 40,000 feet per day, and will cut a total of three million feet this year. Many mills have their planers arranged in the saw-mill to dress the lumber green as it comes from the saw. . The Ross Company will dry their lum- ber in the rough, letting it stay in pile until sufficiently dry to put through the planer. It is calculated that by this. means there will be little or no shrinkage after the lumber is dressed. For dimension stuff this would not mean much, but for ship-lap, siding and floor- ing and for all upper grades it will be of great utility to the actual user of lumber. The cut of the Ross mill runs about half white pine and a quarter each fir and tamarac. There is no spruce in this section of the Koo- tenay Valley. Formerly there was a big loss of logs when a one-log boom was used on the Kootenay river, but the Ross Company put in a 4-log boom anchored by 3-inch hawser lines and % inch steel chains. They anchor this boom to Mr. JosepH W. Ross, oF Ross Bros. & Co. a ‘*deadman” sunk deep in the shore, and for the first time, it is claimed, in the history of the Kootenay river, they have not lost a log. The great loss formerly sustained was caused by the logs going under the one-log boom. Mr. H. H. Ross, the capable and genial manager, says that their mill is not affected by high or low water, as the Kootenay is never too low to drive. The market for the Ross Company’s output is principally Alberta and Assiniboia, the high Ross Bros. & Company’s MILL at ELKMoUTH, B. C. grades going to Winnipeg. The company load on C.P.R. cars at Elkmouth, running same over the Great Northern Railway to Morrissey Junction. r An estimate of the timber limits held by this _ company places their available logs at a hun- dred million feet. All of this is within seven miles of the mill on the banks of the Koote- nay. The haul to the river runs from 4 to 2 miles, which is done by sleds in winter and trucks in summer, all on a down grade road to’ q { es AP re ; 2h5 oN od Jury, 1905 _the river. These logs run about seven and eight to the thousand feet. This firm are about to put in a lath ma- chine and are also manufacturing all kinds of mouldings, interior woodwork, etc. The saw- ‘mill has a 60-inch circular, patent 4-saw edger, two trimmers, two planers (one of the latest improved pattern), rolls, steam feed, etc. The machinery is driven by a 125 h.p. boiler, with a 100 h.p. engine with a Russell automatic cut-off. They use a jack- ladder chain for hauling up logs from the pond. The burner is situated across the creek, 250 feet from the mill. The lumber is loaded direct by tram.cars on to the main loading platform next the spur line which runs the entire length of the company’s yards, the latter consisting of 600 acres of crown _ granted lands. The pond is one mile long - and with very little improvement it can be _ made to hold ten million feet of logs. The whole plant is a credit to this enterprising firm. live WHY ASIATIC LABOR IS EMPLOYED IN CANADIAN SAW MILLS. Considerable interest has been manifested in the recent trouble between the Kootenay ‘Shingle Mill Company, Salmon, B.C., and their men. The white employees refused to work with the Orientals, and endeavored to have the latter driven out of the locality. En- quiry has been made by the Canapa Lumser- ‘MAN, from some of the more prominent lum- _ bermen and other employers of Asiatic labor on the Pecific coast, relative to the origin and advantage of the employment of Chinese and Japanese labor. The original cause, it has been learned, was owing to the scarcity of sufficient cheap labor with which to carry on the rougher work of the mill. There is always a certain amount of work around a mill which is necessary in its operation, but which calls for no particular skill. In Eastern Canada there are plenty of - men to be found, many of them French Cana- _dians, who are willing to undertake work of this kind at a comparatively low wage. At the time: British Columbia was being opened eo ee there was a scarcity of white labor. The tes that were here were needed for the k calling for more skill and brains. Con- ES epeny. there was no one to do the cheaper tk without which operations would neces- rily have to be suspended. This led to the ployment of Chinese and Japanese, or labor, as it is called. os reason for the employment of itals, particularly the Chinese, is the fact it they can always be depended upon to irn up at their places every day, or in event of sickness or other necessary absence, they _ will provide a substitute. This cannot be ty said for the white man. Very often, and es pecially after pay day, the white man gives ay to the temptations that exist, more per- 1a ps in a new country than in the older and nore conservative parts where home ties and relationship are stronger, and he is off duty for two or three days or longer. Returning is work, he is often not in fit condition to i |his duties. All this time the mill has » " he eee ree Gee ey) ee a PS See od pe Pe: i as eae ; ei ' THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 25 been more or less handicapped, according to the number of men that are away. This applies particularly to mills in rural districts, where labor is even scarcer than in or near the cities. In mills where whites are employed for the rougher and cheaper work, the foremen are always in trouble owing to the tendency of the white man to ‘‘jump the job” the moment something better offers itself. In this, the white can hardly be blamed, for itis the duty of every man to try and improve his position, but on the other hand it is unfair to the fore- man or manager of the mill. He goes to the mill in the morning, depending on a certain man for certain work, and learns that the man has had a better job offered him and is going to take it. The Orientals can be relied on year in and year out, no matter how common or monotonous the work may be, they are usually satisfied with their lot. In shingle mills, Chinese packers are in many cases employed. The chief reasons for this is, first, the certainty that they will be at their post, for if the packer is not on duty the sawyer, who, by the way, is invariably a white man, cannot go on with his work, as the shingles would soon fill up and block the Secondly, the Chinese can be de- pended upon to properly cull out the seconds, and the white is apt to let some of them go through, as it takes more time to pick them This, it is claimed, is one of the secrets of the popularity of B. C. shingles. In Washington state, where Chinamen are excluded, boys are generally The boys, whose ages run from machine. out. employed as packers. 21 years up, learn quickly and in many cases are making big money while still young. Receiving more money thanis required for living expenses, they early learn to spend foolishly and become more or less dissipated. The result is evident in poorer work and poorer men too. In the matter of salary, it cannot be said that Asiatic labor is keeping wages down. On the whole, Asiatic labor can be said to be better paid than most of the French Canadian laborers of the East. If the mill-owners were compelled to employ white labor only for the unskilled as well as the better class of work, at the present high standard of wages, and the present low prices paid for lumber and shingles, many of the mills now running would have to shut down, thereby throwing a large number of men out of em- ployment. Thus it will be seen that the Orientals rather than being the cause of whites being out of work, are in a very large measure cheaper making it possible to give employment and at a higher scale of wages than would otherwise be the case. This is the state of things as they are at present and have been in the past. This, however, will not necessarily always continue to be the condition. With the influx of the white population, especially whole families coming into British Columbia and the increase of native born whites, together with the prob- able decrease of Chinese coming in owing to the higher cost of entrance to the province, it will become easier for the employer to se- cure white men and to hold them in the minor positions than it is now, and on the whole probably no one will be better pleased than will be the employer himself. With all the good points the Oriental may have, there is a natural fellow teeling on the part of the em- ployer for his white brother, and he will get the preference every where it is at all possible. Just now, however, to put it in the words of a prominent employer of mixed time, labor in Vancouver, ‘‘The white man is want- ed for the better work and there is room for every white man in British Columbia that has got ahead on him with brains enough in it to enable him to think for himself and his em- ployer.” Vancouver, B. C., June 14, 1905. FORESTRY BUILDING, LEWIS & CLARK EXPOSITION. The forestry building at the Lewis & Clark Exposition at Portland, Oregon, which opened on June 1 and will continue until October 15, is unique in design and a visual evidence of the timber resources of the Pacific Northwest. It is made entirely of logs of extraordinary Forestry Building, Lewis & Clark Exposition, Portland, Oregon, June 1 to October 15. (Cut kindly loaned by the Northern Pacific Railroad. ) dimensions. Reduced to the reality of figures there has been two miles of five foot and six foot fir logs used in the building, eight miles of poles, and many tons of shakes and _ shingles. Uncommon taste has been employed in com- bining many rough timber features into an en- semble of rare beauty and symmetry. It is 206 feet long and 102 feet wide, and rises to a height of 72 feet. One log stands near the main entrance which has a diameter of seven feet nine inches. It required a total of rr2 horse-power with engine, block and tackle to raise the immense logs to their places. Twelve thousand feet ofg wire cable was used for hoisting and guys. The heaviest log weighed 35 fous and was lifted to its place at the rate of 30 feet per minute. 26 Pe oh SA Oey “" THE CANADA LUMBERMAN Wrood-Worker and Retailer BARRELS WITHOUT BULGE. ‘‘Minneapolis, which has for years man- ufactured more barrels than any city in the West, especially barrels for flour packing, is expected soon to have a large plant for the manufacture of the newly patented Alexe bar- rel, which, it is claimed, is a great improve- ment on the present type of barrel in many Tue ALEXE CYLINDRICAL BARREL. The Alexe barrel is a straight-stave barrel, with wire bands, and its great ad- vantage lies in the fact that it may be shipped knocked down and crated in small space, is easily put together, and when filled for ship- ment, will occupy less space than a bulge type barrel of the same capacity. ‘‘The improved barrel is the invention of Frank Alexe, of Brooklyn, N.Y., who has a carried his idea far beyond the experimental | ‘stage. The device is patented in the United States and Canada and in twenty-five foreign countries. “Mr. Alexe states that his barrel is not only cheaper and more convenient, but that it is far stronger. The timber is kiln-dried and is not weakened by the bending As the staves are flat, they may be worked into shape from the raw material with less work and by less expert help than is required for the old- style barrel. Practically every step in the con- ' struction may be done by machinery, The staves and heads are packed in bales and ship in much more compact form than the old- style barrel. The bulge of the old barrel was necessary in order to drive the hoops tight. With the Alexe barrel, the hoops are of wire drawn perfectly tight and held in place by staples. The patents cover also a forming machine for setting up the finished package, an operation so simple that it may. be done by ways. process. ordinary labor. The finished barrel is tight and does not re- quire lining to prevent leaking. The bulge of the old barrel prevented close packing in shipping and caused damage from loosened cargoes, but the new cylindrical barrel will pack tight and close. ‘‘A heavily capitalized company will begin manufacturing these barrels. Six factories will THe be established, two in Canada and the others in the United States.” A THRIVING VANCOUVER INDUSTRY. One of the neatest and most up-to-date little planing mills on the Pacific Coast is that of H. J. Fortin on Ninth Avenue, Vancouver. Mr. Fostin, began business four years ago with an outfit worth hardly more than one hundred dollars, but since then he has been steadily in- creasing his plant. Recently he has erected a large building adjoining the old one at the rear but in size much larger. He has now a floor area of 7,500 square feet. The building is so situated that the rise of the hill at the rear and the high street level in front makes it possible to have a level entrance right into the mill on either the ground floor or the second floor. The ground, or first floor, is used mainly for finishing purposes and as an assembly room. It is equipped with a sandpaper machine, mitre machine and other tools used in the finishing process. The second floor contains IMPROVED VARIETY SAW MANUFACTURED BY COWAN & COMPANY, GALT, ONT. the most of the machinery. The equipment includes band saw, rip, and cutoff saws, mortiser, tenoner, stickers, two planers and two lathes. The third floor is used for getting out the material, ripping, dressing, etc. Two planers, a surfacer, a rip saw and a cut off saw - are part of this floor’s equipment.

An improved variety saw with boring attachment, M 197, as manufactured by Cowan & Company of Galt, Limited, Galt, Ont., is represented by the accompany- ing illustration. This machine is capable of doing a great variety of work in the very best manner, and is particularly suited for jobbing shops. The frame is in box form, cast in one piece, with broad flange base and rigid slide ways for the table bracket or yoke. The table is of iron, raises and lowers 5” on gibbed ways by means of screw and hand wheel, tilts to angle of 45 degrees, and has adjustable mitre gauge which may be used on either side of the saw. Jointing, dadoing, rabbeting or grooving heads may be used by means of a large detachable throat plate surrounding the saw. The table surface is 36’x 44” and material 20” wide may be slit ; an 8” saw projects 134” above the table, and 15’ saws may be used. The boring attachment consists of heavy slideways rigidly secured to the frame upon which a strongly braced table bracket is gibbed ; the table slide is gib- bed in turn to ways on top of the bracket with pro- vision on both sides for taking up wear. A wood table and bar as shown in the illustration are usually supplied, but iron table can be substituted if desired.

A writer in the Mississippi Valley Lumberman says:— “I don’t suppose you could get the people to believe it, but I believe that the best use that sappy wood can be put to is to make lath out of it. Coming in contact as they do with lime, which is one of the best known _pre- servatives of wood or anything else, their tendency to rot would be checked, and their strength would be thus unimpaired for that purpose.

The _ frame is cast in one piece, well braced, rigidly sup- porting all working parts. The table is gibbed to the _ frame, the gib extending the whole depth of the table. It is raised or lowered 1414" by the crank at the top of _ the machine. The front part of the table is so arrang- _ ed that it can be swung out of the way of the under cutter-head, giving the operator free access to the _ head. The feed consists of three 3” feed rolls, weighted and driven by a powerful system of gearing. ___ The lower head is placed in front, thus working the “4 pottom part of the rail or stile first, The groove mad- Cd and a groove can be run in the center of any thickness. The bottom head has lateral and vertical adjustments.

I never did take much stock in the old theory of lath staining the plastering. If it ever does, it is on account of putting them on green, and their being unable to absorb the water from the mortar. The stain from the sap will come through un- less it is dried very quickly. I never see a lot of No. 1 white pine lath but that I think it a waste of good material to put it to such use. The generations of people to come will learn economy in the use of lumber that we don’t even dream of now. The whole history of the lumber business, both in its manufacture and using, is one long story of wasteful methods, and ignorance in the use of it to advantage and economy.” Nv Ww PPD Ao ee THE CANADA LORS ERE Phew es TRADE NOTES. The Victoria Machinery Depot Company, Victoria, B. C., recently installed two boilers in the plant of the Western Fuel Company at Nanaimo. The. Western Oil & Supply Company, Vancouver, B.

Lumsden at Lumsden’s Mills Que. It is expected to be in operation by August rst. Graham & McCormack, of Pembroke, Ont., are doing a very large business in lumbermen’s moccasins and mitts. They have enlarged their factory and are in a position to fill all orders promptly. Alex. Barr, of Pembroke, Ont., intends enlarging his work shops by another building 100 x 40 feet. This building will be constructed of cement blocks and will be fireproof. His business in lumbermen’s sleighs, waggons and dump carts has become very large, although ‘he has owned the business for only two years. A new metal called ‘‘Emett’s Hardite” now has a place on the market, and fills a long felt want amongst loggers, miners, smelters, quarry Owners and users of a hard tough metal. We understand that there is quite a demand already for it in British Columbia, where logging is carried on toa great extent, and where sheaves wear out in a few days. Emett’s Hardite sheaves will out-wear quite a number ofthe old soft iron sheaves and saves the wire rope,as well as prolong- ing the life of a pulley. Ground rollers and tree rollers ‘ Doble” Tangential Water Wheels are in the same category. Mr. G. H. H. Emett,. of New Westminster, B. C., is the inventor. ; The Manitoba Gypsum Company, Winnipeg, man- ufacturers of hard wail plaster, have got well started on their spring output, having brought down their first cargo from their Lake Manitoba mill about the middle of May. The demand for hard wall plaster this season is extremely good, and the cargoes are being shipped out from Westbourne as fast as they come in, A wood fibre plant is now being installed, and this latest develop- ment of the plaster industry will be on the market this month. Wood fibre plaster has many advantages over ordinary hard wall plaster, one of the principal being the fact that sand is not necessary in making the plaster ready for application to the wall, the wood fibre doing away with this, and making besidesa much harder and tougher wall. The Manitoba Gypsum Company have had printed some very full information on hard wall plaster and wood fibre plaster, which they will be glad to send to anyone making application. A NEW EDGER. Messrs. B. R. Mowry & Sons, of Gravenhurst, Ont., are turning out some very fine machinery. They have lately sold to Messrs. George Chew & Son, of Mid- land, one of their well-known gang edgers. The mandrel will take from ten to fourteen 26 inch saws. The side for edging boards feeds about joo feet per minute, while the side for ripping up the cants feeds about 70 feet per minute.

Car movers are a necessity by any firm receiving and shipping car load lots of lumber. The switch engine may place a car near where it is wanted, but if it has to be moved to a more convenient location, that duty devolves upon the shipper or receiver.

In looking over the modernized box factory we find manufacturers have changed their methods materially, says Barrel and Box. The old slipshod way of delivering a truck load of lumber to the factory without keeping any track of it, and then making up such orders as may be in hand, has all passed. You see the foreman marching through the factory and watching every man who is handling lumber. He keeps his eye on the waste box. If he sees a piece that should not be there he wants to know the reason why. This is a necessity because lumber costs money nowadays. Labor is pretty high, too, and when you add these two items to your waste account and then figure on your general expenses and profits you will find that any shave in prices, and there may have been some shaves, means a loss of profit. The man who is satisfied to go ‘on without improving his factory or operating on the improved method, which includes’ systematic handling of orders in the offices as ELECTRICITY If you desire to keep posted on the wonderful progress that is taking Pisce in the use of elec- or an almost endless var- well, is liable to come out at the small end of the horn this year. PUBLICATIONS. Kindly mention the CanaDA LUMBERMAN when writing for any of the catalogues referred to below. A new price list is being furnished to the trade by the Dominion Wire Rope Company, 286 St. James street, Montreal. It is worth having. We are indebted to Mr. W. C. J. Hall, of the De- partment of Lands, Forests and Fisheries, Quebec, for a booklet descriptive of the Laurentides National Park. Bulletin No. 5, from the Smart-Turner Machine Company, of Hamilton, Ont., refers to their several lines of pumping machinery, and a copy may be had for the asking. The Crescent Machine Company, of Letonia, Ohio, are distributing their latest catalogue of band saws and general woodworking machinery. They are bringing out some new machines which will be shown in their next catalogue. They report that the volume of business in their regular lines has materially in- creased during the past year.

Accor- Steel Frame Dry Kiln Trucks Plain or Roller ding to the reports of the fire wardens, the damage done by forest fires in the state during the year was. only $21,670, and by prairie fires $8,305. Some very interesting information is given concerning the opera- tions of European state forests. The second number of the ‘‘ Canadian Forestry Journal,” the official organ of the Canadian Forestry Association, is even more interesting than the first number. It contains reports of the annual meeting of the Association and of the American Forestry Congress, and special articles on “‘ Forestry in Relation to Min- ing,” by Prof. C. J. Gwillim, Queen’s University ; ‘“‘ The Forests of the Yukon,” by J. Keele, of the Do- minion Geological Survey, and ‘‘ The Care of Street Trees,” by D. Craig, of the Dominion Forestry Bureau. We know of no catalogue which should be of greater interest to lumbermen than that issued by the Clyde Iron Works, of Duluth, and referring to the McGiffert steam log loader. It is a loader, locomotive and skidder combined and has handled 160,000 feet in aday. The manufacturers claim that logs from a dis- tance up to 1,000 feet or more may be economically skidded, and mention an instance where a log scaling 2,000 feet was skidded a distance of 500 feet over rough ground and loaded on a car in fifteen minutes, a proceeding that would have required a team and sev- eral men five or six hours.

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.

The Hon. Mr. Turgeon is a son of Damase ee farmer and trader at Beaumont, _ Bellechasse County, Quebec, and was born on ~ December 19, 1863. He was educated at Levis College and Laval University, at which ~ latter institution he graduated, taking honors both in letters and in law. He was called to the Bar in 1887, and it was not long before he : “took a prominent place in his profession. He _ commenced practice in Levis, where he was at city of Quebec in recognition of his decoration as a Knight of the Legion of Honor of France, and also as an officer of King Leopold’s Order (Belgium), he made eloquent reference to the happy manner in which the affection of French-Canadians for the land of their sires before filing or changing, both for keeping the saw in balance and to have each tooth do its share of the work. Sometimes a tooth or several teeth are broken off ina saw, and in that case it is advisable to keep the stub of the tooth pointed and set just as if it were cutting at the point, only the point should not be filed ' or gummed until the other teeth have been worn down far enough to let the shorter teeth do part of the work at the point. By keeping the teeth set the work is made smoother and there is not apt to be a ridge or lump left in the sawing at each turn of the saw. Then there is the dressing of the points of the teeth, for no filer thinks of filing the teeth to shape, as cheap as emery wheels are and as rapidly as the work can be done with them.

To handle a file in this way accomplishes two things de- sirable in saw filing ; it saves the files and it — enables the filer to file a straight face toa tooth that helps in keeping a saw in good condition. To allow a file to waver in its course and to take short strokes shows on the work and leaves'a tooth with a number of faces to it, no one of which may be the correct one for the work to be done. It is an indication of inex- perience or carelessness to hear a filer making a noise like a wheelbarrow that needs greasing when he is drawing a file back over his work. It should be borne in mind that when a saw Sf fails to do the work for which it is intended, it is the result of some neglect of the plain laws governing its care, for all machinery needs care to keep it in its proper condition, and as with the members of the human family, the doctor is often needed to repair before the final dissolution. There are so many ways in which there are losses to heading, that to have the loss begin at the saw is like throwing good money into the street. With asaw, new and as thin as 18 gauge at the rim, machine in good condition and saw sharp, with ample power, we have still enough openings after this for the ‘heading to drop through not to want to keep “this end of the work in perfect shape. When the saw wears down some, and we find weare © throwing too many inches of good lumber in-_ to the dust pile, it is time to change for a thin- ner saw. Saw steel is cheaper than good — heading in a case of this kind.—Packages. 14 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN AUGUST, 1905 PIT SAWING. Mr. William F. Fox, in his ‘‘History of the Lumber Industry of the State of New York,” gives some interesting particulars regardingthe beginning of lumbering and pit-sawing. The evolution of the sawmill, he says, is large- ly due to the conditions and demands of the lumber industry in America. The early colon- ists built and operated sawmills one hundred years or more before there was one in England. This method of manufacturing was not, how- ever, absolutely necessary. The wainscotings, wedge, could easily supply his few wants in this respect; but in the villages which sprang up at each important trading. post there was a de- mand for building material and ship-timber which the villagers themselves could not well supply. Most of them were engaged in better paying pursuits or professions; hence, some labor found employment in manufacturing lum- ber by hand-power. The large timbers for house and ship. building were hewn out and squared with a broadax by men who were ex- perts with this tool. The planks, boards, and Pir SAWING. paneled ceilings, cabinetwork, and Chippen- dale furniture which made famous the stately homes of England were constructed in all their perfection long before the first sawmill was erected inthat country. The men who founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, together with the emigrants who followed them for a hundred years, had never seen a sawmill in their native land. in a colony soon after the first settlement, it So, if a sawmill did not always appear does not follow that nolumbering was carried on. They had other means of manufacturing the forest products. The pioneer of the wilderness, with axe and boat sides were mostly made by pit-sawing. The latter was a common industry in the old country; and one reason why England had no sawmills until after 1768 was because the mobs, always opposed to labor-saving machinery, des- troyed the first ones as fast as erected through fear that the pit-sawyers would be thrown out of employment. Pit-sawing was done by two men with a long saw that had cross handles on each end. A stick of timber, hewed square, was placed over a pit, or elevated on trestles. One man stood on top of it and pulled the saw up, and one man stood in the pit below to pull the saw down. * corners of flitch can be turned bark down and (see illustration.) The workman on top, who guided the saw along the chalk line, and who was supposedly the better man, was called the top-sawyer. The one below was called the When sawmills were first substituted in this work the saw was held taut on the up- ward stroke by a spring pole overhead, and was worked up and down by a wooden beam attached to a crank on the mill wheel. This wooden beam was called the pitman, and is still known by that name in every sawmill through- out the country. Pit-sawing or whip-sawing, as it is often called, was not entirely abandoned on the introduction of sawmills. This old method was still useful in sawing long stuff, because in many mills the log-carriage was not long enough to saw planks of the desired length. As late as 1860, at the gang-mills near Painted Post, Steuben County, the writer saw a large, square stick of timber being saw- ed in this fashion into long planks for the sides of a canal boat. pit-man. ———————_————— QUARTER-SAWING IN SMALL MILLS. Since most of the methods of quartet-sawing that have been advocated in these columns seem to be from parties identified with large mills, I give one which may interest the small mill man, who doesn’t possess all sorts of money and tools and must make out with what he has. Suppose we have a 50 or 52-inch single saw Fic. 2. and want to quarter-saw a log as large as, say, Some five-dollar-a-day men might say they would not run such a plant. I 33 to 35 inches. presume that is because they don’t have to; others, however, do. yer, know nothing about a band saw, and for what sawing I have to do will take the old cir- cular, as there are not so many cracks to deal with. Referring to the sketch, line 1 is to take off alight slab. Line 2 is run in as near the heart as practicable and not strike heart defects. It will be understood that the saw will cut but a few inches above center. When these two lines are run, turn log one-quarter Over, toward headblocks, until first line is level or at right angle to saw. Now run line 3 near centre, like line 2, and flitch will drop out. Turn log one- quarter over again, until line 1 will lie flat Now run line 4, turn, and run I am not an expert saw- against knees. line 5. The log will now be in five pieces, in- cluding heart.

This they would naturally do unless _ they are willing to bid high prices against 3 speculators when the lands next come to be let.

They ‘say ’ there have been cases where men, upon making a deposit of $3, took out, nominally for settlement, valuable timber tracts having in n view the acquisition of the timber only, and it for farming. There is a great deal of land Siac province, the lumbermen claim, suitabie settlement, and it is not necessary to give away valuable timber land in this way. viously, they hold, if a man desires a grant ” for farming purposes, it is not his honest policy -a farmer to first go into the forest and begin ations tata a land; when “there is ‘ e a ~ 1s, and their contention is that, by the pro- that is complained of, he frequently gets ber lands at homestead rates. attempt for a reduction of the mileage which, without any consultation with them, they say, in the matter, was recently advanced by the government from $4 to $8 a mile.

The accompanying illustration will give the interested reader a clear idea of a steam log hauler used by some of the progressive lum- forward or backward, and may be turned in any desired direction by the man piloting the hauler, with a lever purchase wheel similar to the guiding wheel on an automobile or an or- dinary brake wheel on a car. The hauler is not confined to forward mo- tion alone, but can be reversed as quickly as any locomotive of this type, and may be guided by the runnered sled into any desired That it is a practical success has already been demonstrated. The rate of speed which can be maintained with a load of trailers (coupled log sleds) is from five to seven miles an hour. It is confidently ex- pected that this hauler will be able to handle ten pairs of loaded log sleds on each trip when the roads are in good condition, each pair of sleds carrying 10,000 feet of logs B.

The hauler shown constructed for the Northland Pine Company for use on their own operations, and is at the present time being used by them to haul the logs and timber from three of their lumber camps on the former Chippewa Indian Reser- position. in the illustration was vation, in Minnesota, to Pine River, a tribu- STEAM LoG HAULER USED IN MINNESOTA. bermen of the Northwest for facilitating the long-distance hauling of logs. localities where the distance which the timber must be transported in order to reach desired streams or railroads is so great as to prohibit its being hauled by teams profitably.

The greater portion of the weight of the boiler and loco- motive rests on the revolving sections of the metal belt, which are armed with teeth or calks, these being set into the sections trans- versely. The calks are driven into the ice road by the weight of the machine, thus giv- ing the hauler its traction or friction power for starting and keeping the heavily loaded sleds in motion. The front end of the hauling en- gine rests on the center beam of a movable sled, which is so constructed that it will run tary of the Mississippi. trip each way, on which it is expected to make four round trips each day of twenty-four hours. One of the advantages claimed for this machine is that it does not get tired nor have to stop to rest, a change of the operating crew being all that is necessary to keep ‘‘ the bull of the woods” moving night and day. Another advantage is that on the return trip This is an eight-mile =~‘ < “4 to the woods with the empty sleds, when its load is the lightest, the hauler pulls its sprink- ling tanks loaded with water for icing the log Herts also its rut cutter for clearing out and — deepening the rut in which the sleds. run, thus practically keeping its track or roadbed in condition for constant use, without any addi- tional help, other than the regular crew work- ing with the hauler. It will be readily under- stood by the experienced lumberman that this steam hauling device economizes largely in the cost of team hire, which is one of the heaviest expenses of a lumber camp, especi- ally where the haul is long. Besides it gives the operator a chance to use his teams in skidding and in hauling the loaded trailers from the short branch roads out to the main log road, over which the steam hauler passes — on its regular trips to and from the landings. | —Eugene S.

The extent of building operations throughout Canada is this year greater, we believe, than in any other year in the history of the country. Remarkable activity has prevailed all season, not confined to any particular city or district, but extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Last year was a very good year for the building trade, but the figures for the first half make a - very unfavorable showing when compared with the same period in 1905. The following re- turns of the value of building permits issued during the six months of the two years have come to our notice: BUILDING PERMITS. 1904. 1905. |) COL el a een EA RIS pacer $6,300,400 $6,414,500 “FO Coll See Peeters a amibace tg. ciste 2,625,883 45494, 326 _ TP aot Tee aieieeteie essen cate 1,588,815 2,516,761 ROC i, ays "ais v0.25 aie sar raat 661,150 936,425 BAERISSUPL CIN <5 ha Toscis si em vis oS He ce 403,225 731,342 It will be seen that Winnipeg is experiencing a continuation of the building boom which was It is estimated that buildings to the value-of upwards of ten million dollars will be erected in that city this season, _ thus exceeding the splendid record of 1904. Toronto, also, is the centre of exceptional activity, the permits reaching nearly double Whiie the complete figures ‘are not before us for Vancouver, Victoria and other points in British Columbia, we are aware that building operations in the far west are quite extensive. The prosperous condition of the building in- dustry is naturally regarded in a favorable light by the lumber trade. It has been an influential factor in sustaining lumber prices, and is re- garded as further evidence of the growing im- portance of the domestic market. But it is the most significant, perhaps, as reflecting the confidence which is everywhere discernible regarding the future of this country. And where such confidence exists, progress is almost cer- tain to be made. The opinion is frequently ex- pressed by the shrewdest of capitalists and business men that we are on the threshold of very rapid development and that Canada is destined to become a much greater country than she is. Sir Wilfred Laurier predicts that Canada will be to the twentieth century what the United States has been to the nineteenth. In the last two years we have received 255,000 immigrants, and there is every indication that our population will continue to grow even more rapidly for many years to come. RELATIONS BETWEEN MANUFACTURER, WHOLESALER AND RETAILER. The relations existing between the various branches of the lumber industry have not al- ways been as harmonious as might be desired, nor is it likely thatthat condition will ever be reached when all will be thoroughly satisfied ; but it should be quite possible, by the elimina- tion of selfishness and the adoption of the~ principle ‘‘ live and let live,” to have the rights of each branch more generally recognized. In again touching upon this much discussed question, it is not the intention to champion the cause of either the manufacturer, the wholesaler or the retailer, but rather to refer briefly to some of the things which have had a tendency to create dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, some of the manufacturers are not yet disposed to recognize the wholesale dealer as a necessary factor in the lumber business. They seemingly regard him as being responsible for an unnecessary charge against production, represented by the difference be- tween the wholesale and retail price. Most manufacturers, however, we are glad to say, take a broader-view of the question and willing- ly give the wholesaler all reasonable oppor- tunities. They recognize that the dealers have been instrumental in creating demand and in many instances have found new markets for lumber; also that the net price realized from the middleman is frequently greater than if the stock were sold on commission or travellers employed to dispose of it in a retail way. The complaint is heard among mill men that many of the wholesalers insist on foo many grades; they are not prepared to take blocks of mill run stock, but only such grades as meet the requirements of their particular customers. This condition, it is maintained, is responsible in part for the disposition to eliminate the wholesaler and sell direct to the retailer or consumer. Now we come to the relations between the wholesaler and retailer, and it is only fair to say that both have grievances. Of paramount importance, perhaps, is the tendency of the wholesaler to enter the legitimate field of the CANADA LUMBERMAN _ . ae. “Vit 9" " aa Pe wt retailer. ‘‘ Last year,” said a Toronto retailer - a > Ve et aj.) ow 3 ‘ bn x = aE — — to the writer, ‘‘I gave a certain firm upwards of $30,000 worth of business, but this year I am buying nothing from them for the reason : that they have been selling direct to contrac- — tors.” Against the retailers, it can be said — that they are more reluctant to suffer loss through price fluctuations than the other branches of the industry. If between the time — of placing a contract for stock and the delivery thereof the market should weaken materially, it is not uncommon for the wholesaler to be requested to make some allowance for the d er preciation, and as the refusal of the requ might mean the loss of the customer’s fut business, it is sometimes considered expedi = to make some reduction in the price agreed upon. If such claims should be allowed, { het equivalent allowances should be made to wholesaler when prices advance in the in vening time before the stock is delivered. would the buyer agree ? < a _ The pathway of lumbermen may be made smoother by fair dealing and just recog of the rights of others. a SPRUCE FOR STREET PAVING. Hardwoods have been used very larg Great Britain for street paving, Aus karri being a favorite wood for that purp It has not, however, been found entirely s factory owing to the contraction -wyliekasee place in warm weather, due to the green. tate — in which the blocks are laid, and which permits. Sg the ingress of road refuse and insanitary substances between the blocks. At the présent time, much attention is given to spruce, which has heretofore considered unsuitable for street paving account of its refusal to absorb creosote. A process is believed to have been discovered by which softwoods can be solidified, tough ed, and made practically non-absorbent, wh the tendency to warp, contract or expan¢ reducedtothe minimum. This will, itis bel e produce the ideal paving block, combining ; full length of the life of hardwoods with the — freedom from contraction and expansion found — in softwoods.

The first annual convention of the Lumber- ay ae Club of Ottawa, which represents the leading workers in the lumber trade of the Ottawa Valley and the Georgian Bay district, was held in Ottawa July roth, in their - elaborate club rooms over the Royal Hotel. Their quarters presented a very cosy appear- ance, and were appropriately decorated with . bunting, logging scenes, beautiful moose __ heads, bear skins, snow shoes, cross paddles and other articles typical of the life in the - woods; in fact, everything was done in _ keeeping with the Club’s personnel, which be eee des many of the most influential citizens __ of the Capital. ‘ 4 A large number of members from various points arrived during the morning. The members met at 2 o’clock and the afternoon p Was spent in a car ride to Britannia on é specially reserved cars, returning later through the city to Rockcliffe, where a sumptuous repast was served at the ‘‘Royal Shanty,” the building erected on the occasion of the visit of the "i Duke and Duchéss of York a few years ago and where they enjoyed their first ‘‘snack” of _ lumbermen’s pork and beans. * _ The lumbermen took great enjoyment out of _ their ride in and about the Capital. They are oy sturdy, hearty fellows who know thoroughly ss how to work and how to enjoy themselves when their work is done. In the woods they. ea are foremen, cullers, book-keepers, clerks and men who have shown themselves to be pos- sessed of ability, education and _ reliability enough to hold positions of trust. Seldom could one see gathered together a stouter, healtier and more genial band of typical _ Canadian manhood. They represent a type _ that has made the country and to-day is pushing its prosperity to the pan rank of nations. ” An interesting fact in connection with the lumbering industry was that Mr. Hamilton peat selected from the members one to ‘serve as a model for the statue representing a tae lumbering industry to be erected on the "driveway. He selected Michael Barrett, fore- : a man for Alexander McLaren. He is a man of Be magnificent physique. The business proper of the convention was ' "transacted in the evening session, and was ably conducted by Mr. Wm. Burns, who : Bae rie the chair. He spoke in part as } follows:— “It affords me very great pleasure at our first annual meeting, to welcome you to our hearts, our homes, our city and our club rooms.

We have al- so reason to feel gratified that though only in our infancy, we have been able to enlist the help and good wishes of most of those who are minent in the lumber industry in the Ottawa ley. A considerable expense has been urred during the past year, but we have able to finish the year with a considerable ice to our credit. Our objects are purely > CANADA LUMBERMAN social, to meet one another and to help each other in any way we can. We would be pleased to see any of the members at any time and extend to them and their friends a cordial invitation to make use of the rooms and appurtenances any time they are in town and have time to drop in. The reports of last year will be laid before you and we trust that they will meet with your approval”. The Secretary, Mr. Ernest Pitt, then made his report. He stated that the total receipts during the year were $324 and expenditure $119.01, leaving a balance on hand of $205.99. The Auditors, Mr. W. H. Rice, Mr. Archie McAdam and Mr. H. S. Brock, reported hav- ing found the books in a very satistactory condition and commended Mr. Pitt very highly for his faithful and capable work. Mr. Brock, speaking for the auditors, said that with his two associates he had audited the books and found them in a very peculiar condition, with $8 too much to the credit of the Club, and he thought the Club should pass a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Pitt for the care he had taken and the valuable time he had expended on the work, which was accordingly done. It was moved by Mr. Smith and seconded by Mr. Rice that the Secretary’s report be adopted, which was carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. W. H. Rice and seconded by Mr. James T. Leslie that the annual convention should hereafter be held on the third Wednesday of July in each year, which motion was carried. The Chairman asked the opinion of the meeting as to the admission of honorary mem- bers. At the inaugural meeting it was decided to admit only one honorary member of each ‘profession, but this had not proved quite satisfactory and it was moved by Mr. H. S. Brock and seconded by Mr. W. A. Cameron that any eligible party be allowed to join the club as honorary member, the admission to join being made subject to a vote of the members of the Club. The membership fee in all cases to be $2 per year. It was proposed that the annual fee be raised from $2 to $3—two dollars to go towards the Club and one dollar to provide for the publica- tion of a monthly magazine to be edited and managed by the Club, but the motion was voted down. Business was followed by an enjoyable banquet in the Royal Hotel, where after a very sumptuous repast, the toast list was opened in the usual manner. Responding to the toast of “Our Employers”, Mr. John McCullough, of the Shepard & Morse Lumber made a very fitting speech. Company, Mr. Archie McAdam spoke briefly and very happily to the of ‘‘Our Members”. Mr. Harry Bennett toast favored the audience with two songs in his usual artistic manner. Mr. Frank Marshall, responding to the toast of ‘‘Our Guests”, made the speech of the evening. In an ex- ceptionally able manner, the toast of ‘‘Our Officers” was proposed by Mr. Ritchie and responded to by Messrs. Link and Reynolds. Mr. Ernest Pitt, the justly popular Secretary, was honored with a special toast. In respond- ing, Mr. Pitt thanked the members for their sincerity and candor and for the generous manner in which they had received the toast to hisname. Mr. Frank Johnston gave two German songs in a style which was greatly appreciated. Mr. Wm. Murray also contri- buted to the program. Mr. Harry Bennett by special request sang ‘‘ Ain’t it funny what a difference just a few hours make ” in a manner which brought down the house and the en- cores were loud and long. Mr. Dan Cashman, the genial proprietor of the Royal Hotel, re- sponded in an able manner to the toast of “Our Hoste?

Ground glue may be soaked about 20 minutes, but that is not absolutely essential. As a general rule ground glue requires very little soaking. Wey 2 & ex ot = Flake glue may be soaked in cold water % over night, before using. All dirty spots must be avoided. They should be cleaned out every time before using a different kind of glue. For soaking glue fresh water must be used. Glue should never be heated in a pot that is subject to the direct heat of fire; this invariably — burns the glue and renders it useless.—Pack- © ages. 18 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN Unga NEW HEADQUARTERS OF THE WESTERN RETAIL LUMBERMEN.

PROGRESS IN THE LUMBER TRADE. VaNcouveER, B. C., July 15th, 1905. Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN : In looking back over the last few years we see many marvellous changes in every line of travel, but in no line has the wonderful inventive genius ot man been put to better use than in our own, So many and so swift have been the innovations that some have not been able to keep up with their introduction, and con- sequently are left far in the rear. Those who have kept up with the procossion have done so under a tre- mendous strain, while a few have seemed to lead with comparative ease. It is to these few, however, that the credit is due for all the wonderful achievements in the manufacture, installation and manipulation of the different machines which go to make up the modern saw mill. With the up-to-date purchaser of wood- working machinery to-day the question of price is al- McINTYRE BUILDING, WINNIPEG—NEW HEADQUARTERS OF THE NORTH-WEST RETAIL LUMBERMEN’S ASSOCIATION.

We are gratified to know that the number who have taken cognizance of this fact have greatly increased of late, and this should act as a stimulus to the manufacturer to go on with the good work, securing the very best ideas no matter what they may cost, because it is just those ideas that the leaders in the wood-working industry are after, and it is those leaders that the manufacturer of machinery is after. Having built a thoroughly up-to-date mill and equipped it with the most modern machinery known for the class of work to be done, do we find this man looking for the cheapest men he can get to manipulate these machines? Well, I should rather say not! A poor michine in a good man’s hands is better than a good machine in an incompetent man’s hands, and therefore the man who is wide-awake enough to see that the best machines are installed is usually wide- awake enough to see that thé best skilled men are secured to operate and take care of these machines, and with such a combination as this is it any wonder that this man is able to keep so far in advance? He buys the best there is to be had in machinery and thus the manufacturer of these machines and his highly — skilled labor are benefitted. He secures the best men he can get to operate with and he and they are mutu_ ally benefitted, and at the same time he is promoting high ideals. He manufactures and sends into the markets of the world the best manufactured product, and here again he is benefitted, for he not only finds a ready market for his product at better prices than his would-be competitor who is trying to run his antiquated machines with poorly paid help is able to obtain, but he is building up a reputation—paving the road ahead of him as it were, and making it easier to travel in after years. This is all done by keen foresight—just such foresight as we find at the head of our leading wood- working industries of the present day, and if any one détail of this has not been pre-arranged then just so much of the road has not been paved, and right here is where disaster is going to be met in a greater or less degree according to the extent of the oversight. Thus it behoves us-to see to it that the road is well paved ahead of us, and also that no part or this pavement is allowed to get worn out or in bad condition, but kept in constant repair. Never has competition in the wood-working industry been so keen as it is at the present time, and never have the demands of the con- sumer been more exacting ; therefore, he who would exce) as a manufacturer must see to it that everything he turns out is up to a high standard of excellence, and he cannot do this except he be equipped as afore- said, not only with modern machinery but with an effi- cient staff of workmen who work not only with their hands, but also with their brain. ; Anyone who has experienced it knows how good it makes him’ feel to get letters from across the continent from dealers stati g that their customers won't have any other brand but such a one, when he is responsible for that particular production. Yes, it is gratifying to know that your efforts have been substantially appre- ciated. This reminds me of a little incident which goes to show that all our efforts are not in vain, bnt may be bearing fruit when we are quite unconscious of the fact. When I was engaged in the lumber business in the State of Maine I found myself discussing the situation one day with one of those good old Yankees which it always does one good to meet. In the course of our conversation he remarked that he could always base his calculations on the predictions of the CANADA LUM- BERMAN. He did not know how the editor of that paper obtained his information, but he had always found his reports and predictions authentic and thoroughly re- liable. With such a standard-bearer as this going forth every week to be read by thousands of the very people whom we wish to reich, it seems to me that the manufacturer who has filled all the other requirements and has not secured advertising space to tell the public about it is leaving out a very important part of his pave- ment. To usea scriptural phrase, he is ‘‘hiding his light under a bushel.” In my next letter I shall endeavor to give the frater- nity the benefit of some of my experiences and ob- servations in the care and handling of woodworking machinery, and I think that an exchange of ideas by tho-e engaged in the business would be to the mutual advantage of all, for how many of us are there who are at all progressive who have not at some time or other reached the hesitating point where we would liked to have been able to have turned to some good authority to decide for us the important point in question. This authority can only be furnished by practical men, aS theory without practice falls short. Yours truly, E. H. NEWTON. en ENQUIRY ABOUT SAWDUST. LIVERPOOL, MAY 29TH, 1905.

Price, | Ng Assistant Forester, United States Bureau of Forestry. It is not the province nor the purpose of the Bureau of Forestry to attempt to teach the hess. I think that every man who has looked ‘into it must realize that the United States owes its interior development, more than to anything else, to the enterprise, the industry, and the skill of those whose efforts have put the lumber industry upon the plane which it ¢ occupies to-day. If lumbering had not opened th way, the South would never have reached € commercial and industrial activity which she is now enjoying. _ From the first attack upon the forest of your PX Fd ° . earliest forerunner, the colonist, your industry = © . Ras increased steadily, until it is now fourth ong the great industries of the United States. It has grown rapidly from small « is beginnings, fostered by the presence of an apparently inexhaustible supply of timber and by the impetus of an insistent demand. From “whip-sawing” to the modern steam saw mill is a long step, but it has not taken much over fifty years to accomplish it. your mills and in your methods for the trans- _ in your dealings with the forest. 4 portation of lumber, but it is shown least of all This is the line of economy which it is the business of the forester to develop. The urgent need for such €conomy requires no statistics to prove it. You all know far better than I what is the ‘situation confronting your industry to-day: that species and grades not long ago unknown in the market are now bought eagerly; that, in spite of the decrease in the cost of logging and of sawing, the price of lumber climbs ‘Steadily higher, and that there are already certain kinds of wood of high commercial value _ which are practically out of existence as a : factor in the lumber supply. _ Hitherto you have not had to consider the production of a second crop upon lands on which youhave lumbered. So long as sufii- cient merchantable timber stood in sight to keep your mill running long enough to pay for and to yield in addition a generous return upon the capital invested in it, you naturally _Were not led to consider the future. That fact has been used by many enthusiasts as cause -for criticism of lumbermen’s methods as in- t emperate asit has been unjust. The question whether you shall cut with a view to immedi- e returns only or whether you shall cut also ) a view to cutting over the same land n involves no emotional considerations, is a question of business and of business y. I want to make it very clear that the ester—and by forester I refer not to the enthusiast, but to the man who deals th practical forest problems at first hand— an enemy tothe lumberman. On the hand, the highest effectiveness of the ’s work is impossible without the tion of the lumberman. The proof of oundness of the forester’s methods lies in F , irik Se before the Southern Lumbermen's Associa- THE CANADA The present tendency of your industry is Strongly towards economy. This is shown in — - aa 4 NT yaa AF x, ‘4 . af MEN aa, ‘i SVT el. teks LUMBERMAN . Unless the forester can prove to you that forestry pays, and cooperate with you in put- ting it into effect, then his efforts have been in large part fruitless. There area good many kinds of forestry. There is the forestry which must consider in- direct return. There are cases in which the management advised for a forest must give weight to the value of that forest as aconserv- er of stream flow, and must not ignore its effect upon winds, upon climate, or upon the national economy. Such considerations must often govern in the forestry which is applied to public lands, since the long-time owner may consider such matters, and since the forest lands which are the property of the nation should be handled for the greatest public good, rather than for the highest immediate profit. For example, the best administration of the 60,000,000 acres of federal forest reserves must be based upon such a point of view. But these are not matters which you are called up- on to consider in the management of your own lands, nor is there, in my judgment, a more serious mistake than to expect that private enterprise should or can be governed by con- siderations of indirect returns. But there is another kind of forestry, the kind which I wish to present to you, which is purely a matter of business and which makes no other claim upon your approval or rejection. What we call practical forestry, which is mere- ly another name for conservative lumbering, differs from the lumbering which you do only in its point of view. Practical forestry does not ask you to expend one cent unless there is reasonable promise that you will get a profit- able return from its investment. It doe’ not require vou to consider indirect returns, such as I have just mentioned must influence the management of the forests of the public owner. It simply presents to you upon a business basis the results which you may expect from lumber- ing your lands, with a view, not to lumbering the same area once, but to lumbering it re- peatedly. It simply enables you to take ad- vantage of the fact that since trees have grown once they will, under proper treatment, grow again. Practical forestry does not mean that you will haye to plant trees on your cut-over lands and wait until they have reached matur- ity in order to harvest them. That kind of forestry appeals only to the long-time owner, to the state or to the nation, or to the private land-owner in the treeless regions of the West, who, in order to have trees at all, must first plant them. But on practically every piece of land which you lumber there is left standing after the logging a certain number of immature trees—trees some of them slightly, some of them far below the diameter of the logged trees. If you log in such a way that these. immature trees are broken by the fall of those.which are cut, or if your cut-over lands are burned after the logging, the possibility of a second crop from them is so decreased as to be of no practi- calmoment. But if, on the other hand, you Inmber in such a way that these young trees, which form the basis. of a future crop, are pre- served both in the lumbering and. afterwards, the second crop will in many cases become a factor of no small financial importance in your undertakings. Whether it will pay you to foster this second crop, both in your cuttings and afterwards, is the important question. For example, the Bureau of Forestry has found that in some cases the returns from practical forestry will - yield an income of 6 and even a higher per cent. upon the capital invested. In other cases the interest is lower, and in others again it entirely disappears. In other words, forestry is not a panacea that can be applied to lumber- ing under all conditions and in every locality, but in the vast majority of cases it will pay, and pay well, to cut in such a way that you may cut again. Just how well it will pay, the Bureau of Forestry is ready to determine, and will be glad to determine, in co-operation with any one of you. It will give you, at a cost equal only to the actual living and travelling expenses of its agents engaged in the work, a detailed plan for the management of your tract, based upon a thorough study on the ground. This study will determine what is the present merchantable stand of timber upon your lands, what small trees remain as the basis for a second crop after the first crop of merchantable timber is cut, how fast these small trees will grow—and they will grow much faster after the old trees are removed—and what interest their growth will represent upon the capital invested in the land. It is not the intention of the . Bureau to foist upon you any European system of forestry not adapted to your needs, but only to recommend, upon the basis of a thorough investigation, modifications of your present methods when such modifications will yield good returns. For example, let us suppose that you are cutting pine of merchantable size for lumber, and putting smaller pine into cross- ties. It would be the province of the Bureau to determine whether or.not it would pay you best to allow all pine to reach lumber size and simply cut ties out.of the tops, thus taking ad- _ vantage of the more rapid growth of the small- er trees. In the same way you will often have to determine whether it is more profitable for you to tap small trees for turpentine or to let them grow until you can cut them for lumber. The forester can answer this question on a basis, not of surmise, but of a comparison of the value of these trees for turpentine and for lumber based upon actual measurement of how long it will take them to make lumber. Many of you are now using countless numbers of thrifty young pine for spur ties, for corduroy, for bridges, and for skids. The forester can tell you what these young trees are worth, be- cause he can find out from actual measure- ments how long it will take them to make lumber and how much lumber they will make. And he will in many cases show you that you are throwing money away in using young pine . trees for such purposes, and that you can save this waste by utilizing instead the tops of log- ged trees, culls, or trees of a kind less valuable than pine. In principle, practical forestry is an exceedingly simple matter; in application it requires trained men, both to solve its problems and to put their solution into effect. Whether you will practice forestry or 20 Cee ee whether you will lumber in the ordinary way is simply a question of whether you will treat your forest as a gold mine, ignoring its pro- ductive capacity, or whether you will lumber conservatively at a cost very little higher than under your present methods, and which will be repaid you many times over. Forestry can never offer you the spectacular opportunities for the investment of capital which the ordinary lumbering of a practically inexhaustible supply of timber has offered you and your predecessors. The trees do not grow fast enough for that. But they grow fast enough to make their pre- servation a good investment, and, with pro- tection from fire, an eminently safe one. You _ are inclining more and more strongly towards greater capitalization of your mills and logging equipment and towards greater concentration in your logging operations. The era of the portable saw mill is practically over. There are few areas left in which a man can skim the cream of the timber and let the rest remain. You are cutting closer and closer year by year and you are attempting by improved machinery to offset the disadvantages of poorer timber and less accessible sources of supply. Improved machinery is an excellent thing ; economy inthe mill is admirable also; but these alone will never solve the urgent problem before you. It is only by economy in the woods that you can, where there is reasonable safety from fire and where other conditions are favorable, make your plant, so to speak, self- supporting. Ifyou omit economy in the woods, all economy elsewhere will only serve to post- pone somewhat the time when your mill must shut down. It is perfectly natural that you should not turn with eagerness toward forestry, because you are just at the end of an era in which a plentiful supply of timber rendered it unnecessary for you to practice it. But now there is the question immediately before many of you whether you will lumber in such a way that you may keep your mill running contin- uously and draw a fair profit from your opera- tions, or whether you will skim the land, shut down the mill and look elsewhere for an oppor- tunity to carry out the same policy. The former method means in the vast majority of cases a safe and conservative business enter- prise yielding fair and assured returns ; under the latter method you may make more money for a little while, but you will inevitably in the end be forced either to practice forestry or to cease your operations. I do not want to dwell here upon the effects of these two methods upon your industry as a whole. That is not the question before us to-day, although itis one which vitally con- cerns the interior development of this country. I merely wish to bring to your notice the fact that practical forestry has certain business ad- vantages. You will not deny that you con- sider your mill as a part of your plant. Why not look upon your forest asa part of your plant also? The power to produce and yield you good returns is in the forest just as much as in the mill. It is simply a question whether it will pay you to develop that power, and that is a question which can in every case be deter- mined. It is merely a comparison of capital THE CANADA LUMBE ma Pate eee Le RT ee ee ee SORTS Ay Sn re and of interest. The value of your cut-over lands represents the capital ; the rate of growth of the trees upon them represents the interest. Ifin 10 years, or 20 years, Of 30 years, or whatever the period may be, you could cut a second crop from logged-off lands, whose value, less the cost of the taxes and protection of the lands during the same period, represents, a fair interest upon their capital value, then forestry is for you a good and safe investment. No man here would throw away anything which might have a money value until he had first determined whether that money value actually existed. I merely wish to present to you the advisability of applying the same policy to cut-over lands. Before you let your cut- over lands revert to the state for taxes, or before you lumber them in such a way that their productive capacity is destroyed, or be- fore you let fire run through them, or before you sell them at a low figure as agricultural lands, first determine what they can yield you in a second crop; and in doing that the Bureau of Forestry is not only willing, but eager to give you its help in every possible way. a HISTORY OF THE LUMBER INDUSTRY OF NOVA SCOTIA. By F. C. WHITMAN, President Western Nova Scotia Lumbermen’s Association. The whole of Nova Scotia with the excep- tion of the cultivated valleys and the border of the sea coast is wood and timber land and will probably remain more valuable for timber than for any other purpose. No part of the country is over 60 miles from tide water, and navigable rivers flow into the Atlantic, Gulf of St. Lawrence andthe Bay of Fundy. Three railway ‘systems are in operation and the rails extend the whole length of the province. The shipping points of the railways are Sydney, Pictou, Pugwash, Windsor, Kingsport, Anna- polis, Weymouth, Yarmouth, Tusket, Bridge- water and Halifax, from which lumber is exported; and besides these places there are very many ports and harbors on the coast available for good sized vessels and from which lumber is shipped. Proposed railways in Eastern Nova Scotia, and the Halifax and South Western on the Western coast, will still further open up the country. The harbors on ‘the Atlantic coast have a good depth of water and very little tide. The shipping ports on the Bay of Fundy have strong tides, the rise and fall being from 25 to 40 feet. these places vessels load lying aground, or in the stream where they can lie afloat, from barges and lighters. At Ship Harbor, Halifax County, there is 30 feet of water at the mills, Liscombe 22 feet, Sheet Harbor 28 feet, and St. Mary’s River 17 feet. Logs are on one side of the mill, and steamer or vessel berth on the other. There is no better harbor in Canada than Halifax, from which the annual export of lumber is over sixty million feet. “There are two grand divisions to be made in considering the lumber proposition of Nova Scotia, brought about by trade conditions. The Eastern end of the province ships almost entirely to the English deal market, the West- ern end to South America, West. Indies and 1.9 os Bed beat r oi >> teute x » oo - er ie f sts ) “S RMAN_ ' market is 3 inch deals, and that of the West, — It has the nearest spruce timber for shipment : In many of | a fi Me the United States. The cut for the English — boards, planks, rails and scantling. The deals are carried largely by liners or tramp steamers, while the Eastern Province engages a large fleet of sail vessels from 150 to 1,000 tons a register, a favorable size for the West Indies being a vessel of 300 to 400 M. capacity, and for South America a vessel of 500 to 1,000 M. capacity. ’ Nova-Scotia has the following specialties :_ to the European market. It has a monopoly — of the West Indian trade for cheap lumber. It hasa natural reproduction of woods that — cannot be excelled for rapidity of growth and quality. Its lumber fleet is largely owned in a the province, the shipping facilities are ex- cellent and inexpensive and the principal ports of shipment are open all the year round. ns 4 The reason that particular stress is laid upon the shipping condition is because the province depends entirely upon the export trade. The home consumption is so light it need not be taken into consideration. Thus, the small “3 population of slow growth of the province com- pared with other countries has not had the : effect of conserving the timber. On the con- — trary, the continued activity of the export — trade of the past fifty years has reached the stage where the annual cut of the province has caught up with the yearly growth. The country was heavily timbered (say 100 years s ago) with green timber of spruce, pine, hem- lock, fir, poplar, Hackmatack and hardwoods, ‘sa intermixed with white, yellow and red birch, maple, beech and oak. ' ie Pd *. The main growth to-day is spruce. ‘The Aa new growth is largely spruce, which will grow a to cutting size in 30 or 40 years. White pine d does not now exist in large bodies, but there are still good tracts of pine in Western Nova Scotia, and a second growth that rapidly comes to a cutting size in favorable localities. Spruce a is the main stay, while the white pine is gi fast disappearing. Of other woods hemlock has not been largely manufactured and little use has been made of the bark. There are now large tracts of hemlock that command attention, and with the advancing prices of bark, it will be a valuable asset to the lumber- : The hardwoods* grow in the order already named, and upto the present time have not been cut for export, excepting for the. 4 English market in moderate quantity ; but — , there has been and still is a large annual cut x used for firewood both locally and for export to ‘a the United States, and hardwood is also exten- e sively used for ship-building. In the Eastern ? end of the province there are extensive tracts 4 of birch in Guysboro County, and in the — western country hardwood is distributed all _ through the green wood, and much of it being 4 old growth of good proportion. The extension — of the railways will make these hardwoods { more accessible and will probably lead to a~ large cutting within a very short time. Ress. men.

Afterwards the local gov- ‘ernment came in possession of the ungranted land, and they fora nominal figure granted acres to all who applied ; with the exception of about one and one-half million acres, now held by the Crown (most of this being a very poor description of wild land), the timber land is now owned by private individuals and corpora- tions. It is estimated that about half the woodlands are in ‘possession of large holders, and the other half of settlers and small holders of under a thousand acres. The larger holdings are being added to, and their position has been _ very much strengthened in the last two or three -years. The owners also control valuable _ water privileges and shipping facilities. The lands are situate on rivers where there is an ¥ _ opportunity to drive logs to the mills, and in many cases to tide water where they are manu- _ factured and shipped. There is excellent water a sufficient for lumbering and pulp mills all over the province. A logging railway is ‘now under construction near Bridgewater, to be operated by the Davison Lumber Company. Many of the rivers furnish water power for electric light, so that manufacturing is no _ longer confined to the hours between daylight : and dark. The following subdivisions will give an idea of the extent of the lumber operations in Nova Scotia and of the export: .- Total area of the Province, 21,000 sq. miles. Estimated timber and woodland, 7,500,000 acres. Estimated export from Western Nova Scotia, « 110,000,000 sup. ft. Estimated export from Eastern Nova Scotia, including Halifax shipments, 135,000,000 ft. Total export, 245,000,000 ft. Acreage, 7,500,000 ft. The heavily timbered district would be about one-half of the above acreage, and is owned and controlled by lumber firms. One of the chief dangers that threatens the lumber industry in Nova Scotia is forest fires, _which have been an annual occurrence. There _ were laws covering this matter, but until re- cently there has been no enforcement of the Act. Within the past year the Lumbermen’s z, Association of Western Nova Scotia, with the help of the Boards of Trade, have succeeded in having the law amended so that it could be en- ay forced, and there has been a decided improve- ment during the past season. It is now believed that it will be possible to prevent any large forest fires in the future, and if this is done there is no doubt but that the growth of a? _ wood will increase the quantity of available timber within avery shorttime. The amended law provides for a chief fire ranger in each Sade and he has the privilege of appointing under him other rangers to assist him in his _ duties. These rangers are to periodically go over their timber districts and extinguish all lag that may occur, and the chief ranger _ makes a report to the Government on each year’ swork. This special work is paid by Gov- | ernment salary to the head official and the mun- cipality pays for the work done. The holders of timber lands in each county owning 1000 ni res and over are taxed ¥{ cent per acre. ‘ cy - “a This is a special tax levied for the purpose of controlling forest fires, and is paid in to the municipality. It is probable that in ordinary seasons this special tax will cover the cost of protection. Any balance left over goes to the credit of the fund. But in case this tax is not sufficient, the municipality is to pay any differ- ence that may occur. et OTTAWA MID-SUMMER MEETING. At the last annual meeting of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association held in Philadelphia, the invitation of the Canadian lumbermen, through Mr. Gordon C. Edwards, to hold a mid-summer meeting in Ottawa, was accepted. After further consultation and the assurance from a large number of members of their intention to attend, it was decided by the Board of Trustees to hold this meeting August 16th, 17th and 18th. The provisional arrange- ments are given below: Dates include August 16th, 17th and 18th. Business meeting August 16th—2z to 5 p. m. Steamer on river in evening. Business meeting August 17th—10 a. m. to I p.m, Ottawa points of interest in afternoon or Rockliffe and a shanty lunch. Banquet or other form of entertainment at night. August 18th—Steamer trip to Lake Des- chenes, log sluices, mills, etc. The entertainments referred to will be furnish- ed by the Ottawa valley lumber manufacturers. The reports of the various committees will be made at this time covering the work of the Association since March and special considera- tion will be given to the matter of car equip- ment and freight allowance by the railroads as now before the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion on the initiative of the Association. The meeting promises to be very interesting and enjoyable and there should be a large at- tendance of representatives of the Canadian lumber trade. THE CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF LEATHER BELTS. By Wa Ter E. Drxon, M. E. Outside of the direct care and management of high- pressure boilers and the steam lines pertaining thereto, there is no part of a power or lighting plant, mill or factory in which a large number of indirect connected machines are used that is of such vital importance as leather belting and rope drives. The subject under discussion in this paper will be the former, the selection, care and management,thereof, while that of rope drives will be considered at some future time. The first thing in order will be the selection of a leather belt, and when we consider thatall makers make good belts, that there are no particular secrets in the belt-making business, and that in order to get the very best we must take every advantage of all small details in construction, it stands every engineer and belt user in hand to get all the information available, for we must remember that the percentage of good hides does not run very high, that all that are bought go into belt stock of some kind or other, and that someone must buy the goods that are not quite up to the standard of belt excellence. It is very evident that no man wants anything but the best when he is paying for the best, and it is also evident that no maker is going to say that he makes inferior goods; so therefore we must read the quality by what is in sight, and in the judging of leather that is already made up, the proposition re- 2. ves tself into a very hard one, The two principal things left for an opinion to be based on as to quality are the relation the pieces that constitute the laps bear to the hide from which they were cut. They should, in belts running from 18 to 36 at, inches, be cut from the center of the hides, orshouldbe — what is known as ‘‘center stock,” Ofcourse all belts should be ‘“‘center stock,” but where they are very | narrow or so wide that onehide willnot be wide enough __ rh to make a lap, then there is always a lot of narrow stock worked in that cannot always be strictly center. The next thing to look out for is brands that are so deep that they destroy the life of the leather and will cause it to break after being used. Then look out for the length of lap. If this is too long, you will know that it runs into the neck, for about all that is possible : to get out of average hides and still leave nothing in bi that is not first class is 54 or 56 inches. Ordinarily, you can tell if a lap is ‘‘center stock” by the marks that run down either side of the back bone; they will be usually a little darker than the rest of the belt, These marks or streaks should be in the center of the belt. The principal objection to neck leather is that it is liable to stretchvexcessively, and on this account it will put too much load on the piece immediately opposite it | in a double-ply belt ; for the point of one side is in the i middle of the lap on the other side. Next look out for holes, which will usually be found so nicely plugged as #4, to escape detection unless subjected to the most care- ful examination. Next in importance is to buy a belt that has already been filled with some good waterproof dressing. Now Ri I am quite ready to admit that to buy a belt that has | | been filled means to buy one that perhaps has some bad ot leather in it that would be seen in a dry oak tan belt, | and also that the adhesive power of the filled belt is not 4 | quite equal to the dry one, but the points that the filled Fy | one possesses over the one not filled are, first and mainly, ‘‘it is filled with a preparation when you buy it that does not injure the leather in the least,” and the preparation you will fill it with, for it will be filled, will be engine oil and water, a combination that willruinany oF belt made, and also get it in a condition in six months that will make a permanent repair with glue impossible, for machine oil and moisture are strangers to glue and “ha will ever be. More good belts are ruined by being i; soaked with engine oil until the points come loose and i then pulled out of shape than from any othercause. Of course you may be able to keep a main engine belt that runs through a damp wheel pit and basement, and through a long damp tunnel toa main driven pulley that has two big boxes that are just as close to the pulley as a first-class machine designer could put them, and never get a drop of oil or wateron it. If you can, I take off my hat to you; you are a wonder and inaclass — fe by yourself where you will ever be lonesome. a One very common cause of trouble with engine belts is the fact that such belts usually run under the floor where there is considerable moisture, and then the oil table under the average large Corliss engine will leak around dash-pots and rocker-arm shafts, and some oil will fly from the eccentric oil cups and get into the © wheel and run around the rim and get to the belt, and if the belt is not filled a very few drops of oil will make a large spot on it. Then, if an engine does not run the © whole twenty-four hours, while it is off, watch. A few drops of water from a leaky valve stem whose bonnet drain is stopped up, as they will sometimes be, has a_ af way of getting through the floor and falling on to the : belt and running down the inclined inside of it until it Pe finally comes to the flywheel, which, with the assistance — BS of its crowning face, very kindly makes a nice pocket bi rs for said water and proceeds to drink it up. Result: the glue is loosened and the belt may come apart in | — consequence. And should there chance to be a point — just at the bottom of this pocket, it will get the glue soft enough to slip but may not open up, which is much worse than if it did open up, for it may slip away from — the shoulder of the splice for half an inch, and when the es engine is put to work it may close down by running - under the wheel and stick, and, if it does, the result is BY that at no very distant day you will find a break at that particular place, right across the face of the belt. The ' “e reason is that the load was all taken off the inside half | of the belt by point slipping, thereby making the inside of the belt too long and putting all the load on the out hi v < 3 +4 bis 7 side. The outside will continue to do all the work un- til it stretches enough to bring the inside back into service again. During this week or month you have been pulling your load with a single belt, not a double one, and after a short time you will find the break I re- ferred to above inthe shape of a clean, well-defined crack extending across the belt parallel with the points of the laps. Now of course you are going to send for the man who sold you the belt and ask him to fix it. if he is a wise man and understands his business, he won't do a thing but show youright under that crack a point that does not come upto where it should come. Then the thing for you to do is to say to him that the belt is examined every time it is put into service and that you have noticed that the points he refers to all come loose un” and that anyone knows that a few ' during a ‘‘r ot 4 = ee ee bie * oes eee THE six there were at least four that I know of that leaked oil every time they were run. The others did not leak as a usual thing, and all were equipped with the most modern methods of holding oil. Now we come to the building of the belt, and we will notice only such points as interest the engineer or buyer. uniform thickness, so that the belt will run quietly, and it should be absolutely straight when unrolled on the floor. If it has along, graceful curve in it, look out, for it will not run straight on the pulleys until it has stretched straight, and by that time one of its edges may be ruined by coming in contact with the floor or some other obstacle. Next notice how long the feather is from which it is made. It should not show more than 52 inches, and then there will be 4 SSG GN CUE Power N.Y, FIG. I, drops of water would not take any belt to pieces while t was running, and if it was water, why did it not take it apart everywhere, etc.? And finally crush him: com- pletely by telling him that your men have no time to put a pair of clamps ona belt in order to pull every point that comes loose back into its proper position, and that if they did do it they would have no time for anything else, especially in the present case, and that if his people had made the belt right the glue would have held, anyway. After he has given you a new belt or repaired your old one, just take my advice and box that flywheel up above the top of the eccentric oil cup, at least 12 inches, and get some good, heavy tin or zinc and put a tight roof over the belt, under the floor. First put in a ridge pole out of 14-inch pipe, start'ng at the face of the wheel and running in the direction of the main driven pulley, holding it firmly in place at each end with a strong iron clamp. Then solder in each edge of the strip of tin, which should be long enough to reach beyond any possible leak through the floor or oil table, a piece of %-inch pipe, and put tin over the ridge pole with a piece of small pipe on either side. Ordinar- ily the belt goes out past the cylinder, and if it runs through a bricked-up runway on its route to the main driven pulley, just fasten the two pieces of %-inch pipe to either wall and have the ridge about 6 inches higher than the outside ones, and then every drop of oil or water that comes through the floor will fall on to the roof and run down to the walls and be carried down to the floor of the pit and have no chance to touch the belt. One of the most difficult things in the operation of large stations where a large number of belts are used is to keep them thoroughly clean and free from mois- ture and machine oil, the latter especially. One very hard problem that confronts the designer of all machinery is the prevention of oil leakage from boxes. I have seen plants where as many as six dynamos of the same kind were in use and not one single depart- ure from each other in the way of design, and in the “STERLING” OILS «_FOR SAW MILLS WE SOLICIT ORDERS TRADE LARGE AND SATISFACTORY OUR AGENTS WILL CALL WITH ‘‘STERLING’’ CYLINDER, ENGINE, DYNAMO, MACHINE AND SPECIALTY OILS Greases, Packing, Waste, *‘ Copperine,” Ready Mixed Puints, Varnish, Red and Black Roof Paint ; Smoke Stack Black for Boiler Fronts and Sawmill Refuse Burners, White Lead, Dry Colors, Etc.

For instance, find the center of any piece of leather on one side of the belt, and then look on the opposite side and see if the joint is right under your center mark. It should be by all means, for right here lies the most important thing about the construction of leather belts. A belt whose laps are all the same length, and which has all its joints broken correctly, will put the same load on the glue throughout, and that is what must be done in order to get best results. See Fig. 1. a belt that is 36 inches in width and a double ply. Now, suppose there is a draft of 9,360 pounds on this belt, and from point A to point B is 26 inches, and the Here we have CEG e- - —10%- ms =I FIG. points are 4 inches long. Now we have 26 inches plus 4 inches plus 4 inches times’ 36 inches for the number of square inches in the glued joint. - This equals 1,224 square inches, and the total pull on the belt divided by 1,224 will equal the load on each square inch of glued joint, and will equal in this case 7.65 pounds. Now if instead of distance A—B in Fig. 1 being 26 inches let the lower joint get out of step with the upper ones, and conditions get vastly different. We will suppose that the dimensions are as they are given in Fig. 2, which are taken from a new belt that I measured less than one month ago, and we have the following : Joint 4d B now is only 10 inches, and we have 10 inches plus 4 inches plus 4 inches times 36 inches = 648 square inches, and the lead on the joint is now 14.44 pounds. You will readily perceive what an important part in the life of the belt, and the life of everything around the CANADA LUMBERMAN The first thing is to see that the laps are of ~ IW \Ww[qqL HU"LLn AK CCC —?—?— . N ¥ te Please mention THE CANADA LUMBERMAN when corresponding © belt as far as that goes, the proper hpedistae upper and lower joints is. Of course the belt . will tell you that his glue is just as strong as the leather itself, and I will admit that he is about right as long as you keep the belt free from oil and water, but when the belt becomes filled with oil the glue rots and loses its strength much faster than does the leather. No good belt needs any posts along the sides to, make it run straight and stay on the pulleys. I have ~ my first belt to see in the last fifteen years that would | not run absolutely straight if the pulleys were in line” and the belt straight. All belts should be made to run perfectly straight on pulleys, first on account of the local advertisement that it gives to the man who has charge of them, a nd second, if they do not run true and ever slip, they be on the floor or wrapped around the shaft in a v few minutes. Another very important thing in» care of belts that carry heavy loads is that if any the points do come loose so far back they will no return to place without putting on theclamps; put th on by all means, as the restoring of this point to means that you will still retain in service all of belt, as you will not do if you glue it down where it and thereby cut one side completely out of service.—_ Power. ro THE SALE OF TIMBER LIMITS.

It might be expected that ‘at this season of the year the reports concerning the lumber market would indicate a quiet trade, and to some extent this’is the case, fl but itis also very noticeable that the ! conditions, apart from immediatedemand, ~~ are considered very satisfactory. The Yas. large domestic consumption of pine and hemlock is keeping up remarkably well, assisted, of course, by the extensive build- ing operations. ‘‘Business has never been better,” was the reply of a manufacturer to a question as to lumber conditions. Considering the smaller production of lumber on the Georgian Bay this season, | ww stocks at the close of the sawing season __ are not likely to be very large. The Ottawa valley mills will have plenty of — logs for a full season, but no great accumu- | lation of lumber is looked for, and at the. present time there is no indication of prices weakening to any extent. “ a There is quite a strong market for lath, which are looked upon as good property, a ; Prices have broken very little since the ay spring, and the prevailing price for No, 1 pine at the mill is about $3. bof a 2) + 2 QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. R In Montreal the demand for lumber con- — tinues to be curtailed by the strike of +) carpenters. It\was expected that this — would be terminated last week, but the master builders have refused to accept the — offer of another conference with the men. Nevertheless, considerable building is in progress and there is quite’ an active movement of lumber, There is*not‘much activity in lumber circles in the Maritime _ Provinces and it is now quite certain that } te + | | the volume of business with Great Britain . will be much below the average. Nova Scotia manufacturers are doing a good | trade with South America and the West ia Indies and prices are firm. The quantity of lumber at the millsis fully 30 per cent. less than at the same time in 1904. Sales of deals are being made at $13 for a specification of 60 per cent. 7’sand 8's and ; 4o per cent. 9's and11's. There has been , no recovery in the New Brunswick cedar | shingle market and the majority of sales are now being made around $3.30 for Ex- tras on Boston rate of freight. UNITED STATES. , The lumber demand is perhaps more un- ) even than at any previous times this year. The situation in respect to southern pine - "and white pine continues strong and the demand is practically equal to the supply. At Ashland, Wis., 85 per cent. of the season's cut of white pine has been sold and it is estimated that at the end of the season no surplus stock of any account will be left at the producing points. Cer- : tain sizes of low grades are reported to be ; almost out of the market at Buftalo and i Tonawanda. Hardwoods represent the } opposite condition, the demand being quiet . and the supply of stock more plentiful not- withstanding that many of the mills have, owing to wet weather, been producing much less than the usual quantity. Plain E oak is receiving the greatest call. Bass- } wood and maple are weak, while birch is ae strong. Log run maple has been selling in the Saginaw Valley at a considerable reduction from the high point reached -earlier in the year. There is quite an active market for spruce and most of the mills have plenty of orders, It is not improbable that prices will be marked up a little in the near future. The hemlock market also gives indications of strength. Short lengths are quoted in the Saginaw Valley at $13, 16 foot at $14, and 18 toot at $15.50.. Boards are worth $14. Lath are showing increased, strength. The price list committee of the Mississipp; Valley Lumbermen’s Association have de- cided on an advance of 25 cents a thousand in all grades. This was agreed to by cor- respondence after the meeting on July 13; ere KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. K Keenan Bros., Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

The tone of the shingle market is also more hopefuland it is be- lieved that any change in frices will be in the direction of an advence. The action of the red cedar mills in curtailing pro- duction has had a beneficial effect. GREAT BRITAIN, The deadlock between shippers and im- porters still exists. The former are hold- ing to their prices, while the latter are endeavoring to bring about a general re- duction of about five shillings per stand- ard, at which price it is believed many importers are prepared to operate. If they should not be successful in further breaking the market within the next week or two, it is probable they will come to the conclusion that prices have about reached bottom and will then place contracts for stockfor autumndelivery. As the quantity of lumber contracted for is very small, any indication of an advance in prices might cause considerable anxiety among mer- chants who have allowed their stocks to become almost exhausted in the hope of buying to better advantage later in the season. Deal sizes are still in very little demand except in the better qualities, There has been no particular change in the pine situation, the high prices asked being against business. The reports con- cerning spruce are by no means uniform, but it is thought that a good foundation is being laid for an advance in the fall. Itis reported that one or two small cargoes” have changed hands at £7 5s c.i.f. Liver- pool, with a specification of about 60 per cent. of narrows and shortaverage. The lowest sale of the season was a large car- goat 47 cif. STOCKS AND PRICES. It is reported that 300,000 logs are - hung up in the Spanish river. Louis H. St. Laurent, of Sutton, Que., is making heavy shipments of hardwood timber-to Glasgow, Scotland. The cut of deals by the Bay Shore Lumber Company, Salmon River, N. B., this season will be about 3,000,000 feet. Rafting operations on the South-west Mirimachi river, in New Brunswick, have OTR Pe eee been finished. The quantity of logsis not more than half of last season's total, which was 60,000,000 feet. Mershon, Schuette, Parker & Company, of Saginaw, Mich., have acquired about 15,000,000 feet of lumber in the Georgian Bay district which will be shipped to their: Saginaw and Bay City yards. A statement compiled by the Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s Association shows that shipments for six months of this year aggregated 224,847,000 feet, as against 231,663,000 feet during the first six months of 1904. The Department of Indian Affairs, Ot- tawa, will receive tenders up to Friday, September ist, for the spruce timber of 9 inches and over in diameter at the stump on the Patcheena Indian Reserve in British Columbia. Information may be obtained upon application to the Indian Superintendent at Victoria, B.C. E. B. Lloyd, Crown Timber Agent at New Liskeard, Ont., reports that the cut of logs in that district last winter was smaller than the previous year and that great difficulty was experienced in getting them out owing to low water. In addition to the saw logs taken out, 396,601 ties were manufactured, valued at $64,611.30. The Upper Ottawa Improvement Com- pany will bring 3,000,000 logs down the river this summer, which is a larger num- ber than has been brought down for some years. The reason for this is that the quantity will include 400,000 logs which were cut in the winter of 1903-4 and have since been held in the booms at Des Joa- chims. ~ The following cargoes of lumber recent- ly reached the Saginaw river: 477,092 feet from Thessalon, Ont., consigned to E.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN . Vancouver, B.C., July 25.—After a summer of fairly good business, the trade in connection with the lumber industry is beginning to subside. It may be that because of harvesting operations, the farm- ers in the Northwest are not requiring material for building, but just at present there is quite a lull. Some of the mills are taking advantage of it and are shut down for overhauling, something which seldom occurs as early in the season as this. This applies particularly to the mills on the coast. Some are still going full time of ten hours, while others are adding to stock. Up-ceuntry, conditions seem to be somewhat better. The mills of the Kam- loops Lumber Company are going even overtime, and the Mundy Lumber Com- pany, which will start operating this week or next, proposes to run night and day. And yet in parts of the Kootenay the fear of the sheriff has not altogether been dis- pelled. On the whole, conditions are not nearly as bad as last year at this time, with the exception, perhaps, of the shin- gle branch of the industry. Prices, too, have been maintained, while during the late summer and fall of 1904 cutting of prices was going on. What has been sold has brought a fair figure. There is no appreciable betterment in the logging industry. As stated two weeks ago, the extensive operations of large numbers of camps are resulting in over-production. With the brisk business of the spring still continuing there would be none too much demand for logs, but with the falling off in trade many booms will go hunting for buyers, There is not a great deal of talk on the coast concerning the pool of the Moun- tain lumber manufacturers which was effected at Calgary a short time ago. That did not come as a surprise to those who have been watching conditions in the rapidly developing Territories, and before a very great length of time has elapsed the western manufacturers will have their own yards in the consuming districts. This will be hastened by the advent into British Columbia of American lumbermen, who have successfully carried on business by such methods for a number of years. The talk emanating from American sources of the probability of the United States Government withdrawing the duty on lumber entering that country is re- garded by prominent lumbermen here as merely a blind. If the duty is withdrawn, it will be with the idea of stopping if pos- sible the imposition of a similar duty by Canada, and a repetition of the tactics of 1896 are looked for. Even with the duty off, the American lumbermen would still have the best of the bargain, as all the raw material used by Canadian manufac- turers is very heavily taxed, and the cost of production is, accordingly, much higher in comparison. LOG QUOTATIONS ADVANCE. The Lumber Review states that fir logs have advanced trom fifty cents to one dollar per thousand. One year ago at this time there was a surplus of 155,000,- ooo ft. in the watersofwestern Washington, but at this time there is not 20,000,000 above the regular demand. Logs have never been known to be so scarce on Pu- get Sound at this time ofthe year. There are but very few small loggers operating and the larger concerns represented in the Washington Logging and Brokerage Com- pany are working with a decreased force. The advance in fir logs became operative on July 1. No. two went from $4.50 to $5; merchantable from $6.50 to $7, floor- ing from $8 to $8.50, and long dimension material jumped up $1. NEW BRUNS LUMBER SHIPMENTS. The shipment of deals from St. John, N. B., this year has exceeded that of last year to the same date by about 17,000,000 feet.

Amerieancapitalists closetothe manage- ment of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway are reported to be seeking to acquire ex- tensive timber lands on Moresby Island, the southerly island of the Queen Char- lotte group, in British Columbia. Within the next thirry days application will be made to the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works for permission to cut the tim- ber on 107 square miles of land on Mores- by Island. For each square mile so taken up the Government fee will be $140 per annum. The identity of the capitalists behind the applicants for this land is unknown beyond the fact that they are Americans. It is supposed in some quarters that the McGoldrick interests of Ohio may be the background applicants, but this is only surmise, and is largely based on’ the fact that the Ohio people have recently ac- quired hundreds of square miles of timber lands from the coast right through to Pine River Pass along the route tributary to the Grand Trunk Pacific line. An extensive acreage of timber limits on Stuart and Fraser Lakes has been taken up by a number of Vancouver- ites. ‘These lakes are not far from Fort George, and presuming that the Grand Trunk Pacific enters the province through the Pine River Pass, it will have to swing along toward the sea coast by the Nechacvo, Endaco and Bulkley Rivers, and so the timber bordering on Stuart and Fraser Lakes and through all the country in that vicinity will be tributary to the new line. The Vancouverites who are paving the way to the ownership of the timber lands along the proposed transcontinental route are Messrs. Robert Kelly, F. C. Wade, K.C., G. I. Wilson and J. Y. Rochester. 7 BRITISH LUMBER PRICES . The following prices were realized for Canadian deals, etc., at an auction sale held by Foy, Morgan & Company, Lon- don, England, on July roth: PinE—Ex.

NOBLE LUMBER - DETROIT Send us your inquiries for Southern Yellow Pine. FRANK C. BURY WHOLESALE MICHICAN = nt ¥ R THE HARDWOOD DEMAND. Contrary to anticipation, says the Hard- wood Record of Chicago, the general hardwood lumber demand from one end of the country to the other has exhibited a marked improvement during the last two weeks—an improved condition in inquiry -and actual ordering forward of stock that comes fully a month earlier than was ex- pected even by the optimistic. In the South weather conditions still re- main unfavorable for the getting out of oak and many other varieties of hard- woods, and it is practically certain that oak values, especially in plain wood, will outstrip the highest prices paid early in the spring. In Michigan and Wisconsin black ash has become so scarce as to be almost out of the market. Maple, while in less aggregate supply than a year ago, is moving rather slowly. The flooring makers have consumed the big end of the inch, but there seems to be a little overstock of thick lumber. The good end of basswood is moving very well indeed, and there is a special call for winter sawed, end piled, strictly white. The coarse end of the wood is dragging. Rock elm is very scarce and ranging "ARNWORTH & JARDINE @ 2 ~ Ma is high in value, and in many instances com- pletely out of stock. Good birch, especially that showing a fair preportion of red, is in strong demand generally in Michigan, while some of the Wisconsin dealers report it dragging. Grey elm, an exceptionally good wood, for some strange reason is not meeting the expectation of producers in volume of de- mand. Some dealers claim that the price was boosted too high early inthe year and that many consumers have substituted gum and other woods in its place. The good end of poplar is still doing first rate, while the common and coarse end is dragging more or less. There seems to be an increased demand for quarter sawed oak, and apparently there has been less of this sawing produc- ed than last year, which would augur a prospect for increased values. Plain oak, however, stillhasthe call in the market,and buyers generally are recognizing that buy- ing plain wood at any reasonable price constitutes a good purchase. CANADIAN LUMBER SHIPMENTS.

If anybody believes that lumbering is on the wane, or if he thinks the day for new saw- mills is over, a visit to the fine new plant of Otis Staples, which has just been completed at Bayard, B.C., would dispel any such delusion. Otis STAPLES, BAYARD, B. C.—SAw MILL AND POND. _ The plant is located eight miles from Cran- brook on what is known as the North Star branch of the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway, or “the Crow”, as it is locally termed. At this point the railway crosses the St. Mary’s River. At this junction of rail and river the keen Min- hesota lumberman, Otis Staples, has erected this new up-to-date plant, and the railway Station and post-office established in con- OTis StTapizs, BAYARD, B. C.—GENERAL ViEW oF MILLS AND YARD. Sequence thereof have been aptly called ‘ Bay- ard,” after Mr. Staples’ eldest son. Here, sur- Founded by nature’s wonders, between the Rocky and Selkirk Mountains, has sprung upa modern saw-milling establishment equipped with the lastest machinery and engineered by pluck and brains. Great credit must be given to the man * TH 720-721 Union Bank Buildi E CANADA LUMBERMAN 23 who after winning from the forests of Minne- sota a life’s competence, has shown his opinion of the future B.C. lumber trade by placing his fortune on this side of the line. THE MAN, Who is the man who, single-handed, has done all this? Let us look at his individuality amoment. A man of Medium height apparent- ly about 48 years of age, but in reality 58, of medium weight, iron-grey hair, quick and energetic in action, a kindly look on his face, which displays the keen eagerness of the man within. A man who can extend the friendly hand to the humblest lumberjack and has a good word for all, especially his competitors. Such is the man—Otis Staples. To one’s first glance Mr. Staples looks as he is termed, thoroughly American. Around Cranbrook and the mining towns of Marys- ville and Kimberly he is called ‘ the rich Yankee.” Let us see how ‘Yankees ” are made :— Otis Staples was born in the parish of Doug- Pm WRSTHERPN CANADA ~ | Western Offices of The Canada Lumberman, ng, WINNIPEG, MAN.; 536 Hastings Street, VANCOUVER, B.C. las, York New Brunswick, in the year 1847, and therefore is a Canadian and Britisher by birth. He left Canada in 1869 for Minnesota, going to Stillwater, which is still the home of his family. He Operated as a logger around Stillwater, Minn., on the St. Croix river, for years, was successful, and county, Otis STAPLES, BAYARD, B. C.—INTERIOR VIEW OF SAW-MILL. prospered, his interests finally being taken over by the Johnson-Wentworth Lumber Company. Mr. Staples has been twice mar- ried, and has four children living by his first wife. His eldest 'son, Bayard Staples (a fine type of the bright young American), is a grad- uate of the Michigan Military Academy, and twenty-four years of age. Mr. Staples is a director of the First Na- Otis STAPLES, BAYARD, B. C.—PLANING MILL. tional Bank of Stillwater, a director ot the Northwest Thresher Company, as well as holding other positions of great importance. THE LIMITS. Forty-three square miles is the extent of the tract of British Columbia timber that Mr. Staples now owns. The amount of merchant- 24 THE CANADA LUMBERM AN : wean fae AUGUST, 1905 able timber in sight has been conservatively estimated at 300,000,000 feet. Most of this is Western pine and larch, with a little high grade spruce. THE PLANT. The buildings have all been placed in ideal positions, carefully laid out, far enough away to give plenty of room, yet convenient to each other. The plant consists of the saw-mill, engine and boiler house, planing mill, lath mill, machine shops, offices, stores, men’s quarters, dining hall, sheds and stables. In the saw-mill are installed a 500 horse power engine, with a McDonough Mfg. Company high speed piston valve engine, three boilers 72 in. by 18 ft., with Dutch ovens, one double cutting band mill with McDonough set works, shot gun feed, steam nigger, and steam guide and McDonough ‘‘Eau Claire” edger with battery connection. The saw-mill is a model of neatness and the machinery keyed up to a high rate of speed. There is also a very fine up-to-date lath mill. In the planing mill there is an 80 horse power engine, one boiler 60 in. by 16 ft. , four machines, one combination surfacer and sizer, two match- ers, and one siding machine, also rip and cut Otis STAPLES, BAYARD, B.C.—ALLEY NUMBER FOUR. off saws, all of the very latest improved patterns. The excellent electric light plant is provided for by a 60 h. p. Russell automatic engine, a 4oo light dynamo, and about three miles of wire. The mill, planer, yard and all buildings are lighted by electricity. The water plant for fire protection has a Blake duplex 1000 gallon-a-minute pump, and about a mile of piping throughout yard and mill. The mains in yard are 6 inch (hydrant branch- es 4 inches), and have 25 connections for 2% inch hose. Into this plant run two spurs from the C.«P. R. tracks; three thousand feet of these spurs is available for loading, and four thousand feet for switching. A logging road is now being built into the timber. All logs are brought in by their own train, using a Shay locomotive and up-to-date logging cars. The logs are unloaded into an artificial pond, the same being supplied with water by canal from St. Mary’s River. Connecting the saw mill and planing mill and running through the yards is a splendid system of tramways, with seventy lorries or trucks, all fitted with ball-bearings of the latest type. A fire station, hose reels and fifteen hydrants furnish fire protection for the plant. Over each hydrant is also placed a hose stand to which is attached ready for instant action several lengths of hose. Although Mr. Staples bought out the Marys- ville Lumber Company’s plant at Marysville he Otis STAPLES, BAYARD, B. C.—LOADING A CAR. did not utilize the machinery that he got. He bought the mill simply to get the timber owned by that company, then he wrecked the mill and sold the machinery. He has spared no expense in the effort to make the new mill at Bayard, as he wants it to be, one of the best in existence. With excellent equipment goes an excellent staff, and Mr. Otis Staples, the owner and manager, is to be congratulated on surrounding himself with a staff of young men who are full of energy and progressiveness. The following is the staff:—F. D. Becker, sales manager; D. R. Yates, office manager; J. Harvey Staples, superintendent of timber and logging; F. P. Davis, yard foreman; Glen Clark, mill foreman; Chas. Fisher, chief engineer; J. Swan Ander- son, superintendent of planing mill. ——— THE TIMBER DISTRICTS OF WESTERN CANADA. The timber districts of Western Canada ex- tend, roughly speaking, from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains north of the 52nd parallel as far east as the second meridian, then taking a straight line south-east, from Otis STAPLES, BAYARD, B. C.—LOGGING TRAIN AND SKIDWAY. the junction of the 52nd parallel and the 2nd meridian to the principal meridian just west of Winnipeg. The timber is chiefly contained in the district north-east of that line, running up as far north as Lake Manitoba. A large quantity of timber is also found around Banff and the Crow’s Nest Pass in South-Western Alberta ; some is found also in Alberta north of Red Deer, mostly around Edmonton. Around Prince Albert, in Saskatchewan, a - considerable quantity of jack pine and white spruce is found, the former being used largely © for railroad ties. -f The greatest timber belt of the middle West — is in the Riding Mountain district in Manitoba. All this district is heavily timbered with spruce, tamarac and jack pine. The logs cut there are mostly floated down the Shell river into the Assiniboine river and on to Brandon, where they are sawn. ‘¢ Around the district of Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg there is a large amount of spruce suitable for pulp. In the Turtle Moun- tain district in Southern Manitoba, and the Moose Mountain district in Southern Assini- boia, are to be found large areas of native This, however, has been set aside by poplar. the Government as forest reserve, to suppl the future needs of the neighborhood in the way ot fuel, etc. A little cutting has been done in the Turtle Mountains by parties with portable mills, but not to amount to anything. All these districts, including the British Columbia railway belt, are under the protection ) Mr. OTs STAPLES. of the Forestry Branch of the Department of Interior, and are patroled during the dry seasons by fire rangers in the employ of the Forestry Branch, whose duty it is to gu against forest fires in these areas. This is done by constant watching and warning the settlers against letting fires run, and in case of a fire the rangers have power to call on t 1e settlers to help fight it. All timber lands still in the possession of the Dominion Govern- ment are under the control of the Forestry Branch in that way. : = This system has been in operation for abou five years, and with the exception of a fire the Crows Nest Pass district last season there has been no serious fire in any of these districts. ; ne | TREE PLANTING. The Forestry Branch of the Department ©} Interior is also doing a good work in the en- couragement of tree planting amongst settlers of prairie districts. The settlers are encouraged to plant trees on their farms for shelter beds and for raising as far as possible the supply of fuel and fencing material. This is done by the free distribution of such varieties of trees as are known to be hardy. This work is still further augmented by the | - sending out of bulletins and providing speakers at institute meetings. If a settler wishes to get trees he applies to the office at Ottawa before the first of March and during that summer the department sends out an inspector to visit the place. The duty of the inspector is to report as to whether the _ ground is suitably prepared and what varieties _ of tree he thinks are best suited to the soil and the local conditions. At the same time he _ gives the settler all the information he can in regard to planting, laying out shelter beds, etc. From this report a rough plan is made at Ottawa, showing the manner of planting, the distance apart each tree should be, and any further information thought. necessary. A _ copy of this plan is sent to the settler for his ‘guidance in planting. The number of trees - sent to a man varies all the way from one thousand to six and eight thousand, according to his needs and desires. _ This distribution of trees was started in IQOI, and since that time the number of trees sent out, including this spring’s shipments, amount to about 500,000. The varieties prin- } cipally sent out are Manitoba maple, green ash, Dakota cottonwood, American elm, several different kinds of willow and some Russian poplar. All trees sent out are kept ae track of and so far the reports have been ex- tremely favorable and encouraging, not more _ than 15 or 20 per cent. of the trees planted having died. The trees have all been grown at Brandon and Indian Head. Within the past year, however, another and much larger nursery has been started at Indian Head and all trees in future will be raised there. It is estimated a ee ay ae Was us os 5 be ar ring” ? ry Ff Sie ise i Ch a ere Oe x “sf ad THE. CANADA LUMBERMAN looking after the work, giving out the trees, etc. ACTIVITY AT EBURNE. During the past few months there has been ‘‘things doing” at the little town of Eburne, B. C., on the British Columbia Electric Rail- way Company’s new electric line to Steveston. Of course an important circumstance for the town was the electrifying of the railway, but another source of activity there is the saw mill plant of the Manitoba Lumber Company. This little concern, of which Mr. M. R. Wells is the manager, is doing a rushing business in their special line, which is more particularly the turning of the biggest cedar logs they can find into clear cedar lumber. During the past year they have been making extensive changes and improvements to their plant in order to cope with the demand. Amongst other things they have practically doubled the capacity of their saw mill, bringing the daily average up to 17,000 feet, and have added a Letson & Burpee ‘*Simplex” shingle machine. They have erect- eda new planing mill, 45xgo feet, and added to that department a 12-inch four-sided Mc- Gregor-Gourlay sticker. The old dry kiln has been torn down and a new and larger one erected about 130 feet away from the site of the saw mill. The boiler-house has been moved 20 feet away from the mill and a 14x20 Atlas engine added, together with a 60” by 16 foot boiler made by N. Thompson & Company. The British Columbia Electric Railway have also taken a hand in the matter and are putting a spur line right into the mill yard. They will henceforth haul the cars to and from Van- couver by electric motors, from where they are that this nursery will supply from three to . f oo million young trees annually. *This work is all under the direct super- ‘a vision of Mr. Norman M. Ross, the assistant Superintendent of the Forestry Branch. Dur- ing the winter Mr. Ross is located at Ottawa, but in the early spring he goes to Indian Head d 1d remains there all through the summer CAPITAL PLANING MILLs, Victoria, B. C. shipped to the lumber company’s various customers in the Northwest. In connection with the electrifying of -the Vancouver-Steveston railroad, the British Columbia Electric Railway Company have also electrified the track on the south side of False Creek, which is the means whereby the various lumber companies operating along that shore 25 ship their product. The British Columbia Electric Railway will haul all the loaded freight cars to the C. P. R. yards and the empty cars back to the mills. This will be a great con- venience to the lumbermen, as they can usually obtain the use of the electric locomotives to move acarin much quicker time than they can obtain an engine. THE CAPITAL PLANING MILLS. One of the most flourishing industries on Vancouver Island’is that of Lemon & Gonna- INTERIOR VIEW CAPITAL PLANING MILLs. son, known as the Capital Planing Mills. This business was started in 1890 by the present owners, Messrs. J. Lemon, A. Gonnason and B. Gonnason. When they started ‘business the plant consisted only of a small planing mill and sash and door factory. This was gradually enlarged as business increased. Last year they decided to make a more exten- Sive increase by building a saw mill and a little later followed that up by adding a box manufacturing plant. The saw mill machin- ery was built by the Schaake Machine Works of New Westminster. The style used is the double circular saw mill with a capacity of 20,000 feet per day of ten hours. The com- pany have divided their affections in the par- ticular make of saw used, those of the Cali- fornia Saw Works and of the A. J. Burton Saw Company being found in operation. In the box factory a very complete plant has been installed. It includes a McGregor & Gourlay planer, Cowan & Company band resaw ma- chine and a California Saw Works Company revolving cut-off saw, also a printing press. The building itself is 30 feet wide by 120 feet long, well lighted and in every way adapted to the needs. They intend making a specialty of fruit and salmon boxes. NEW OFFICES. Allis-Chalmers-Bullock, Limited, change in their British Columbia branch. This end of their business has been in charge of the local agency of the Canadian Fairbanks Company. Recently, how- evvr, Mr. G.

Here a complete stock of the Allis-Chalmers-Bullock products will be kept, including rock drills and rock drill parts and electric and saw mill machinery.

In spacing for sashes it should be remem- bered that stuff wrought both sides finishes % in. less than reputed sizes, e.g. 2 in. is 1% in. bare when finished. 5. The ventilating piece should be bevelled \ in. and tongued into the sill, housed into the pulley stiles, and have the guard bead I HOT il HH) mm forming each ring to be of different lengths, the butt joints tongued, and the pieces screwed together. The head should be cut back a few inches above the springing to form a stop for the sashes to prevent them from jamming. tr. “Circle on circle” sash frames should always be made with the pulley stiles parallel, otherwise the top sash must be inserted from the outside, rendering it difficult to make the frame watertight, and dangerous to renew the cords. 12. For quick sweep on plan, these frames require purpose made axle pulleys, the face plates to be set at an angle with the pulley boxes, and in pairs. 13. Bay Window Frames—The sills of these should be mitred at the point, ploughed and tongued, and fastened with a handrail bolt. These should be Brunswick blacked before in- sertion to prevent corrosion. The heads should be solid and halved together. 14. Venetian Frames with side lights fixed can have solid mullions about 2 in. thick, the cords from the middle pair of sashes being I stuck on the solid. All beads should be mitre rebated, and fixed with cups and screws. It improves the frame to return the parting bead across the head. 6, The oak sill should project at least ¥ in. beyond the face of outside linings because if finished flush it will shrink below the face in a short time, and expose the edges of linings to decay. 7. Keep the water bar near the outside edge of the sill. Groove the back edges of the inside linings, and insert the back lining in the groove. 8. Wide or heavy sashes should have a pair of 3 in. brass sunk flush lifts let in the bottom rails, and a pair of brass handles fastened un- der the top meeting rail near the stiles if there are no vertical bars. g. Very high sashes should have cords with handles attached fixed in the centre, with a long arm and hook provided for lifting. A re- cess should be provided in back of architrave to receive this. to. Circular headed frames should be cut out of the solid, in two thicknesses, the pieces ; ¥ a. eee x aM a ote EE nh A 4” - ons + a a el Pe OTF A “ +a > oe Aad N Pod, Py: i eae eS aad at a SJ oe eae AMERICAN IMPROVED No, 2% SASH STICKING MACHINE. taken over pulleys in the top ends of the mull- ions, and through the top rails of sidelights into the outside casings. In consequence of the greater width of these frames, and the possible weight they may have to carry, it is usual to make the heads solid—about 3 in; thick. The mullions should betenoned through the head and sill, and the outside linings stop- ped at the sill and tonguedin, so that the sill may be continuous. 15- Boxed Venetians—When it is desired to hang all the lights, the mullions must be boxed and divided by a parting lining. When this form would be unsuitable through the width of the mullion, a mullion with a single boxing can be used, by hanging two sashes to one weight, having a pulley fixed at one end. To obtain the necessary weight in small compass, it should be of lead and in square section. 16. Single lights are useful for thin walls. One-half of the frame is glazed, and the other half contains a sliding casement, working on metal bars. 17. All sliding sashes should have metal shoes let into their edges. 18.

Many of the saw mills of the Pacific Coast are installing electric power lumber loading derricks, which are proving a great saving in both time and men. Two of the largest have been installed by the Hinton Electric Com- pany in the Pacific Coast Lumber Company’s mill at Vancouver and the Brunette saw mill at New Westminster. These derricks are operated by electric motors, the current being supplied from dynamos in the mill plant. The two derricks referred to have each replaced on an average 17 men and handle with ease tim- bers weighing eight tons. ' ee THE BRITISH COLUMBIA BOX COMPANY.

St. Louis, July roth, 1905. Tue Canapa Lumserman, Toronto, Canada. Gentlemen: Messrs. R. G. Dun & Company printed on one oftheir daily report sheets recently, that the Parliment in the Province of Quebec have passed an act as follows : “It is enacted that any non-resident traveler or agent soliciting orders for goods, other than intoxi- cating liquors, for firms or corporations having no place of business in Canada, shall require a license to cost $300, renewable the first day of May each year. “Any person contravening this law is liable to a pen- alty of not more than $1,000, and not less than $500, for each infraction thereof, and no party shall lend his license to another under the penalty of $300.” The above is undoubtedly of considerable interest to merchants in the United States, also quite a few lum- bermen, and if the above act was printed in the trade journals or daily press, it did not come under our observation, and it appears to us to bea very unusual act or law that would restrain all classes of business except the liquor business. Is it possible that the liquor manufactured in Quebec is of such poor quality and the American liquor of such high quality, that they prefer and want American liquors? On the other hand, can it be possible that they are unable to manu- facture a sufficient quantity in Quebec to satisfy their thirst, or is it the object to encourage competition, that they may secure it at the least possible cost. In this country we would call this class legislation, for the reason that it is for the benefit of one class of people, the consumers af Alcholic hardware, as there are many people in Quebec who do not use commodi- ties of this kind, and would therefore receive no benefit thereby. In addition this act would encourage deception and fraud. The dealer in underwear would be tempted to bill his stock as ‘‘Wet Goods,” while we would be tempted touse a Cypher Code about as follows: Mr. John Smith, Montreal, Canada. Dear Sir : We have entered your order given our Mr. feelers Scheve as follows : 10 M. White and McKay Special $70. (1st and 2nd t-in. 4 White Oak.) 5M. Old Mull Blend $75.

On the face of the above, some of the trade might think we were giving them a larger “load” than they could take care of. While our lumber will make a man smile, it would not be the liquid smile, but the smile that would make that Quaker Oats man take or his hat, take a drink and then take “‘to the woods.” Respectfully, THE Bonsack LUMBER COMPANY. —<————— John Briggs & Son, Brockville, have recently or- dered from the Smart-Turner Machine Company, Limited, Hamilton, an automatic feed pump and re- ceiver for handling the drips from the dry kilns. - sa TORONTO .

The demand for foresters is increasing rapid- ly both for State work and with private owners. Many States now have forest commissions, and several of them have State foresters. A trained forester at $2,400 a year and two assistant foresters at $1,200 each are wanted by California. Wisconsin wants an assistant forester at $1,500, Indiana a forester to take charge of its state reserve, and Washington offers $1,800 a year for a trained forester. In many other States the advisability of creating the office of State forester has been under dis- cussion this year, and it is only a matter of a few years when such an official will be con- sidered a regular part of an efficient State government. The demand for foresters by private timber owners is growing at a still more rapid rate. During the last twelve months seven of the United States Bureau of Forestry force have left to take up work with such owners and four have accepted public positions—two with Grand Bay, N.

TORONTO f ~ ‘ HAMILTON, ONT. 7 a bare? «thee ‘ADVERTISEMENT OF LUMBER INSURERS GENERAL AGENCY, 66 BROADWAY, NEW YORK Soliciting Direct Applications for Insurance on Lumber SOME ELEMENTS OF PRIVATE FIRE PROTECTION. One of the indications ora well managed and thrifty lumber plant, yard or mill, is the care given to its privatefireprotection. Failure to preserve one’s fire apparatus in the best con- dition is to render it worse than useless. From the standpoint of the insurance company, most underwriters would much prefer insuring, for example, a country lumber yard, tree from exposure, where no pretense of private fire protection is made, and, therefore, subject to a higher rate of premium, than a yard seeming to have private fire protection, but the appar- atus of which is old and degenerated. The modern lumber yard has for its protec- tion, aside from the town fire department, if it is in a municipality, barrels of water with fire buckets attached, 114” to 2” hose of sufficient length to reach all quarters of the yard, a number of hydrants communicating with the city water mains, fire extinguishers (used prin- cipally in buildings, such as lumber ware- houses), ‘‘no smoking” signs, and a system, clock or the equivalent of American Distric _ telegraph, for checking the watchman’s reports. Much might be said emphasizing the importance of the last four features, but the purpose of this article is to call attention to the importance of keeping buckets and barrels and hose in good condition. The utility of barrels and buckets placed ina lumber plant is utterly gone within a few minutes after a fire has become a flame. If this element of modern fire protection is to count at all, it must be available at the emer- ‘gency and most critical moment of the fire’s existence. It is a common expression among underwriters that a bucket of water promptly and properly used at the beginning of a fire, is worth more than the city department. Imagine, then, the predicament, if upon the alarm of fire, resort is made to the heretofore supposedly useless and apparently only ornamental fire barrels, the water in which has been allowed to. evaporate without any reinforcement from the hands of a trusty watchman, janitor or yard man; or if you please, the buckets formerly suspended to which are nowhere to be found. A prominent Pennsylvania manufacturer. who has several of the best protected lumber plants in the state, recently related his only ex- perience with a fire. He had been in the lumer business for years, and never having had a fire had quite forgotten that he had once ex- pended several hundred dollars for a private water system, and a lot of hose which lay nelected and uninspected on a shelf covered with dust. One oppressive July morning a smal| fire was discovered in the mill engine room, which was cut off from the main plant by a fire wall. An alarm was given and the two inch hose was attached to a nearby hydrant. The water was turned on but to the consterna- tion of everyone who had responded to the call, the water pressure caused the hose to absolutely break asunder, rendering the fire crew helpless. What might have been a $200 fire, confined to the engine room, became a raging conflagra- tion, which swept over the large saw mill plant and six dwellings all over 125 feet clear space from mill. That experience taught one lumberman-the lesson of diligent attention to his hose apparatus. At this season of the year too much stress cannot be laid upon this subject. Lwmber In- surance advocates the plan already in use by -most of the policy-holders in the lumber in- surance organizations, whereby one man is made responsible for keeping all water barrels filled to the brim and for keeping close watch as to the condition of hose attachments and hydrants.

MR. ANDREW McCORMICK. One of the most interesting figures in Ottawa district lumber circles is Mr. Andrew McCor- mick, one of the ‘‘ old guard.” a century he has been identified with the busi- For over half ness, and he was well established in it before © the first plank was thrown off a saw at the Chaudiere. Although a Scotchman by birth, Mr. McCor- mick prides himself on being a Canadian. Born in Ayrshire, Scotland, seventy years ago, he came to Canada at the age of seven. He came across the blue- Atlantic in one of the old type sailing vessels, steam then being but a dream of the future. Although he was but a ‘*sapling”’ at the time, Mr. McCormick re- members the trip well. The ship was not a regular cargo carrying vessel, but was chart- ered by a party of sturdy Scotchmen, including McCormick, sr., and fitted up in compartments, one for each family. On February 11th, 1843, Mr. McCormick, then a lad of fourteen, entered on his long and successful lumbering career. He left Ottawa —then Bytown—on that date, his destination being the Dumoine river. The young lumber- man was then in the employ of the late Joseph Aumond, one of the earliest operators of the Ottawa district. Mr. McCormick worked in his early days as clerk. From the Dumoine country the square timber for the British mar- ket was driven down the river of that name sixty miles to the Ottawa and down the latter stream ten miles to the Des Joachims boom, where it was made into rafts for movement to Quebec City. Towing was not heard of in those days, and the rafts had to be propelled by huge oars, hewn into shape by the deft axe handlers. ~ Mr. McCormick remained in Mr. Aumond’s employ twelve years, at the end of which time he was in full charge of several shanties on the limits. In the early days it was also custom- ary to cut deals and float them down in rafts to Quebec for export. The manufacture of square timber was not one of the lost arts in those days, and the husky axe handlers were able to manufacture twice as much as do their successors to-day. There is an erroneous impression that the lumber operators have pushed hundreds of miles past the mark set in the early days, but even then, according to Mr. McCormick, red pine was manufactured in the Temiskaming ay district. However, operations were then in full swing on the Rideau, Blanche, Nation, De _ Grace and other streams along the Ottawa which are now lined with farms. : The leading operators when Mr. McCormick - TORONTO, MONTREAL — SEPTEMBER, 1905 — WINNIPEG, VANCOUVER TERMS, $1.00 PER YEAR Single Copies, 10 Cents entered the field were Gilmour & Company, Jos. Aumond and John Egan, father of Mr. H. K. Egan, of the Hawkesbury Lumber Com- pany. contracted each with thirty or forty jobbers. Besides their own camps these firms Railroads were not at the command of the operations in the olden days, and the supplies had to be ‘‘teamed’”’ up from Ottawa to Aylmer by road, and from Aylmer on by the ice bound river. When he started in business for himself Mr. McCormick operated first along the Mattawa ;, Mr. ANDREW McCormick, Ottawa. Lebaiaeie river and afterwards along the Schyan, Otter Creek and the Dumoine river. Later on he did some lumbering in the Gatineau district and also conducted a mill at Sudbury still more recently. At present Mr. McCormick holds extensive limits near the Height of Land which will be served by the new line of railway, the Grand Trunk Pacific. THE ST. JOHN RIVER TROUBLE. The application of Attorney-General Pugs- ley, of New Brunswick, for an injunction to compel the St. John River Lumber Company to remove its piers and booms from the Cana- dian waters of the St. John river, near Van Buren, was reached in Equity Court before Judge Barker at St. John, N. B., on August 15th, having been postponed from July 5s. The first part of the session of the court was taken up with arguments regarding procedure. The attorney-general in opening stated that he would apply later for an order for a viva voce examination of the company’s deponents who he understood had made affidavits declaring the booms necessary to the operations of the company. The court suggested that this practically meant a hearing and that it would be so well to bring the case toa hearing at once, rather than through the proposed procedure. Mr. Pugsley outlined his contention that the com- pany’s sheer boom caught all the logs coming down river and carried them into its sorting boom and that this constituted an obstruction to navigation. H. A. Powell, K. C., of Sack- ville, counsel for the lumber company, declared that the sheer boom was a necessity because in its absence all the logs would go down river to Fredericton, and the company would be put out of business. Mr. Pugsley interjected that the company could bring down its logs in square rafts. At this point adjournment was taken without the Court’s suggestion having been accepted. The afternoon proceedings began with the reading of the information prepared by At- torney General Pugsley, which included a statement by John E. Moore, a St. John lum- berman. Mr. Pugsley contended that the work of the company is violating the Ashburton treaty and made formal application for injunc- tion to prevent the company placing such work and to compel them to remove the boom from Canadian territory. An affidavit by J. D. Colwell, a St. John lumberman, was also submitted supporting Mr. Pugsley’s case. For the St. John Lumber Company, H. A. Powell, K. C., submitted affidavits from A. W. Brown, manager of the company ; J. W. Parker, treasurer ; J. Poirier, foreman at the sorting boom ; R. J. Potts and Holmes Morris, lumbermen. The information was answered in detail that the works were not in the main channel and not an obstruction; that there was opportunity for passage of the river, that the works are of the kind ordinarily employed but better, and are a necessity. Brief arguments for and against the injunc- tion were heard. Mr. Powell held that Attorney General Pugsley was not the proper one to bring up this matter, but it should be the Dominion Minister of Justice. Judge Barker said there did not seem to be any great neces- sity for it, but he would like to see some one get a mandatory injunction just for experi- ment sake. He fixed the third Tuesday in September as the time and St. John as the place for continuation of the case. It is rumored that the Rathbun Company, of Deseronto, have acquired the old Gilmour saw mill at Trenton, Ont., and will remodel it in the near future. a ye ete —————— eae 14 ; THE CANADA LUMBER ait woe Gee 5 ee © ees : es ed Ms pine ial A Oe ? % x “fs fy FIRE INSURANCE FOR THE LUMBER INDUSTRY ; The publishers of the CanapDA LUMBERMAN were requested by a prominent member of the lumber trade to secure the opinions of some of the leading mill men on the advisability of forming a mutual insurance company to carry The replies re- ceived are given below, numbers being sub- stituted for the firm names : saw mill and lumber risks. No. 1: We think a company to insure lumber and saw mills alone, if properly managed, should be a success at much lower rates than the tariff rates. Over experience with Lumber Mutuals in the United States has been quite satisfactory. Some ask lower rates than 10 per cent. and some the same rates as the board companies and pay us a refund of 15 to 25 per cent. of the premium; and we understand an ex- periment tried by some fifty members of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association of New York of paying premiums on $5,000 into a trust for five years resulted in actual fire loss of about 50 per cent. We think the insurance companies in general do not classify their risks enough and raise rates all round, whereas perhaps the business most affected is already paying its full share. No. 2: We are entirely in sympathy with the spirit of dissatisfaction which exists with regard to insurance on saw-mills and lumber yards. The base rate of $4.25 on saw-mills, with addition, which makes most mills from 5 to 6 per cent., is unreasonable, and consideration is not given to the character of the mill, but it is simply an extortionate aribtrary rate. great difference in saw-mills, but insurers should re- collect that the bulk of the mills, whose supply of logs are taken from the water, only run half the year, and pay insurance for the full year ; then, ‘a modern fully equipped mill is generally much better looked after than the old fashioned mills where the machinery and cost of construction is less in amount. As regards yards—-it is just a question with the insurance companies of how much revenue they can get out of the business. Very little regard or allow- ance is made for the improvements made and the fire protection supplied for the yards. We, ourselves, do not think it practical to form a Lumbermen’s Insurance Company on the basis of the organization required by either the Provincial or Dominion Government. What is practical, and what we ourselves use, is the system of Lloyds, where lumbermen are the particular underwriters, each carry- In many cases, we admit, there is a ing a specific amount of a policy. There are several in the United States, and the extension of those to Cana- da is very much to be desired. There are forty or fifty lumber concerns which could easily join in assisting one another to carry their insurance risk at a minimum cost. We certainly are using the United States Lumbermen’s, Lloyd’s insurance ourselves. No. 3: We feel that weare paying exorbitant rates for insurance and I have been laboring with the Cana- dian Underwriters Association for four years, trying to get a reduction in our rates, but have been unable to do so. For example, on lumber we are paying $3.50 without a co-insurance clause, and our lumber is piled out over the water on a tramway on piling. Now then, we carry insurance at Port Huron, Mich., at a much lower rate, with the Board companies, and the risk is much more hazardous than our risk here. I am quite satisfied that the insurance companies are making more money out of the lumber business than teey are out of any other business. I am of the opinion that it would be a good plan for the lumbermen to have a meeting at some point and discuss the question. I am satisfied that if the Canadian lumbermen would or- ganize an insurance company that it would be profitable to them. No. 4: Regarding the question of insurance on saw- mills and lumber yards, so far as we are concerned we AGITATION AGAINST EXCESSIVE RA} have, on the whole, reasonably satisfactory rates on our mills and yards. Certain of them we consider we are paying too much money on, but others are lower, so that — the general average is reasonably satisfactory. Weare doubtful as to the advisability ofthe Canadian lumbermen organizing an insurance company to carry their own risks. The amount of insurance on lumber mills, etc., is very large, and it would need a large amount of capital to make the lumbermen feel perfect- ly satisfied that losses, no matter how large, would in every case be paid. We feel that this large amount of capital would be required, as the probability of re-in- suring, owing to the high rates charged by the tariff companies, would seem to preclude such method of handling the business. No. 5: There is no doubt that an organization of the Canadian lumbermen to carry lumber risks ex- clusively would prove quite profitable in the end, aswe do know of a number of similar companies in the United States, in Ohio, Pennsylvannia, New York and Massa- chussetts, who handle this class of business with very satisfactory results. No. 6: The insurance question is a serious prob- lem to the millmen in this district, as we were paying on one of our mills up to the present year 7 per cent., but the underwriters have lowered this to 6 per cent. We are about to install a tank in the vicinity ofour mill holding about 30,000 gallons of water that will give us ample water supply at an elevation of some 4o feet above the roof of the mill, and we therefore will not consider the carrying of any insurance at all on the mill plant. Regarding our other mill, might state that we carry no insurance at all on mill or stock as the rate there is 7% per cent., which we consider is very unjust. We think it would be a proposition for the Canadian lum- bermen to consider the organization of an insurance company of their own. No. 7: You state that there exists in some quarters a feeling of dissatisfaction with the insurance afforded by the present companies, but as far as we are con- cerned we have no reason to complain of any unjust- ness. We, of course, as do most people who carry insurance, naturally think that our rates are too high, and we are of the opinion that risks might be improved and rates thereby lowered if a thorough system of inspection of risks was carried out by men fully quali- fied to do the work and to give advice to insurers as to alterations or other such necessary work whereby the risk would be improved. This, we feel satisfied, would be in the interest both of the insurer and the insured. Under the present arrangements the Canadian Fire Underwriters’ Association inspector visits us once in probably two or three years and makes a report to the Association, wherezs we think he ought to make a visit twice a year, or at least once a year.. The in- spector who visited us last we considered a competent man and we only wish we could say the same of the inspectors of the various insurance companies who favor us with a visit once or twice during the summer months. The majority of these inspectors are really not practical men and therefore make all kinds of ridiculous suggestions, asin the following instance : The water in the lake had risen so muchas te be two inches above the floor of our mill. The foreman, in order to make walking good, put down six inches of sawdust. Ina day or twoa live young insurance in- spector happened along and promptly informed the mill foreman that that was a dangerous proceeding, that the sawdust would be sure to heat and set the mill on fire. With regard to the organization of a lumbermen’s insurance company to carry lumber risks exclusively. We have no doubt that this could be successfully car- ried out and it would probably give relief to a certain extent, as we understand has been the case in the United States, but after all it would only be a drop in the bucket. How much, for instance, would such an association write upon a lumber stock of say $200, —probably not more than $20,000 to $25,000 at outside, so that the balance would have to be p with the regular companies at a own rates and o their own conditions. All the regular companies claim that lumber have lost them a great deal of money in Canada, although two years ago rates were increased so cent., it is questionable if they will be reduced | near future, as the companies have again had h losses this year. We are strongly of the opinion that rigid insp on the part of the insurance companies and mo as to the condition of risks and fire appliances insured would tend greatly towards a reductic rates.

Would it be practicable for the owners of _ Canadian timber limits to practice conserva- tive cutting ? ~ I have asked a question Retr, which cannot be correctly answered by ‘‘ yes” or ‘ no.” It may, however, be safely said that it ‘would be as impracticable for the lumbermen Sof. Canada, as a whole, to adopt the intensive "systems of Germany and other European _ countries, admirable as they are there, as it _ would be for us to introduce all the timber trees of that country and expect them to flourish under the changed conditions pre- _vailing here. On the other hand, I think the _ day has arrived when improved methods would be ptacticable and profitable in very many of _ our white pine limits. In the few remarks I make tise day I wish to _ deal with this question very briefly, not as a _ forester desiring to see forestry practiced for _ the benefit of the whole community ; for the conservation of the water supply and the enormous advantages which the perpetuation . of this supply will render, in the future, for _ motive power ; nor do I wish to appeal to you to consider a timber supply for future | generations. These considerations we will ~ leave entirely aside, and simply look at the question as business men, owning property, __ and desiring to make the most possible out of | a In the first place let me ask you to take a t | [ SE A EET Pe nere pine tree, say eleven inches at the stump, ; growing on a limit two or three hundred miles from the-mill here in Ottawa. That tree will perhaps make two twelve foot logs of _ average diameter of nine inches. According to Doyle’s rule that tree will yield 38 feet board measure of lumber, principally sap. j The cost of handling these small logs from the time they leave the dump till they pass q _ through the saws is very nearly equal to that of logs two or three times their size, not to | _- say anything of the number of them that sink | | | | * a i on their way down the streams. Does it pay after these poles have reached one of your large mills, to keep the large number of men _ then employed waiting while these small logs are going through the saws, especially when 7 the product is not valuable ? But provided there is a small margin of pro- ite the question I wish to bring before you is whether it pays best to cut such timber or to * allow it to stand till the yield will be say five times: as much and the product of a much bet- ter quality, not to say anything of the in- "creased price of the product, which with some - fluctuations is constantly increasing and will “era to increase. pert: am quite aware that there are many hi ngs to be taken into account before it can “be decided whether it will pay to reserve the sm maller timber for future use and maintain a cor nstant supply by rotation cuttings. _ This is a matter for investigating by the owner. I apprehend that on some limits this s actice could be put into immediate operation, the great advantage of the owner. In d tor the Midsummer Meeting of the National Whole- sale ber ‘Dealers’ Association, Ottawa, August 16-18, 1905. ey HE RON De other cases where there is very little young timber, the reverse would be the case. What I would do if I owned a limit on which there was a mixed stand of pine of all ages, as is usually the case, would be to have a careful examination of it made, giving an approxi- mate estimate of all the pine down to, say, twelve inches in diameter at the stump, and of the quantities below that size, specifying the number of trees at from ten to twelve inches, from ten to eight inches, from eight to six inches, and from six to four inches, and all under that size, with a stem analysis to as- certain the rate of growth per annum. By this means it would simply be a matter of cal- culation whether I should cut such a limit close, or cut down only to ten or twelve in- ches at the stump, and taking care to destroy _ as little as possible of the younger ones. Barring one factor, viz.,forest fires, in your calculation, no surer basis for calculation can exist. You have as one factor annual growth definitely ascertained, another factor would be the present value of this small timber, if mark- eted at the present time, and the whole ques- tion resolves itself into this problem—will the value of the increment of growth exceed the compound interest on the value of this sapling stock. But in favor of the conservative method we should also not forget that interest is de- clining in our new country while the value of stumpage is increasing. There is, however, another matter which should not be lost sight of in endeavoring to foster the young growth. In removing the large pines we allow more light into the forest, which will be followed by a faster growth of the young trees that have suffered from too great shade, but these large pines do not cast near as much shade as the broad leafed trees that usually grow mixed among the pines, and in the examination to which I have referred it would be well to have those doing the greatest injury in this way to the young pines, marked, and where possible, removed. In this work of survey or examination of the limit and marking of the timber it is quite un- ~ necessary to mark every pine that is to be im- mediately cut. With intelligent men, instruc- tion to cut nothing under a certain diameter should be sufficent. The lumbermen now conduct their affairs with great attention to details. They know the cost of logging, driving and sorting of logs, milling, piling, shipping, &c., to the minutest detail, but it seems to me that they should commence one step farther back, and in their profit and loss account be able to state the value of the timber on their limits, not only that which is immediately merchantable, but that crop that is constantly growing and on which they can rely with the greatest certainty if proper care is taken to prevent its destruction by fire. The farmer values his growing crop, but a grain crop is liable to be destroyed by rain or by the lack of it, by rust and other de- structive agencies, which seldom affect the growing pine. High as stumpage is now, when the con- ditions of the increased use of timber is taken. into account, and the decrease in the supply, Sith oh cha y Raith ets ALM Ob eae RR LUMBERMAN is that it will continue to greatly increase in the future is inevitable. It was thought by many that with the in- creased use of iron, brick, stone and cement in structural works, that the demand for timber ‘would decrease, but statistics not only show an aggregate but a per capita increase of the use of wood, in recent years. When we con- sider this and then take a survey of the visible supply in the Northern Hemisphere, we can- not but regard the warnings of a timber famine as proclaimed by the ablest foresters of the present day, as well founded. M. Milard, in a recent work entitled ‘‘The Insufficieney ofthe World’s Supply of Timber,” says :-— “‘There are but few countries in the North able to supply Five are in Europe, Temperate zone, at present, large quantities of timber. namely, Austria, Hungary, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia; two are in North America, viz., Canada and the United States. It has been shown that the available surplus of Austria, Russia and the United States is seriously threatened by increase of population and by industrial development, and that of Norway by the abuse of the axe. There remain only three sources of supply in which confidence can be placed, for yet a little while ; these are Sweden, Finland and Canada. They are absolutely and hopelessly insufficient. If Sweden, Finland and Canada were to at- tempt to supply all the countries, which reach out their hands for timber, their normal pro- duction and their forests, too, would be dis- posed of completely in a very short time, revenue and capital alike.” He concludes with the remark that a timber famine is thus within sight. Considering all these facts, it seems to me certain that not the least valuable, of many Hungary, limits, is the younger growth, which at present, as I have endeavored to show clearly, does not pay the cost of cutting, and that the owners of timber, especially of white pine, would only be acting with the foresight they show in other matters connected with their business if they gave greater attention to this matter than heretofore. The time has arrived when the man who directs the lumbermen’s © Operations in the woods should have, in ad- dition to his practical knowledge of how to cut and take out logs tothe best advantage, also some knowledge of the tree itself; the manner or rate of its growth and how to cut other timbez so as to foster that growth. In other words, he should be a forester, as well as a practical log man, and it is fortunate that many young men, most of whom have been brought up in our rural districts, are now studying forestry in the colleges of the United States and spending their vacations in our lum- ber woods, studying the practical part of the business ; and I would strongly advise our lumbermen to avail themselves of the services of these young men, rather than import pro- fessionals from Europe, who are necessarily less familiar with conditions.

The Southern Lumber and Box Company asked the Southern Lumberman for a cheap, practical and accurate device for measuring the height of standing timber, and was given the following answer: We are under the impression that there are on the market several devices for measuring the height of standing trees, but in the limited time we have had, we have been unable to find the names and addresses of the manu- facturers. We are under the impression that the Scientific American, New York, N. Y., some time ago illustrated a rather elaborate and apparently rather costly device for doing this work. An ordinary mechanic could make at small expense a device that,in our judgment, would serve every practical purpose. We print herewith a crude sketch showing how such a height-measurer might be constructed. “G” is an upright on which the device rests and is supported by two or more extensible legs, so that the device can be set and leveled as a sort of tripod. The height of this upright should be great enough to bring the horizontal bar ‘‘A” even with the eye of man of average height. The upper part of this upright (mark- ed ‘‘B” in the accompanying drawing) is marked and lettered as a scale showing eleva- tion to bar ‘‘C”—the figures on this scale indicating the height of point ‘‘sighted” on tree—the sighting, of course, being done by the eye and along the upper part of the bar “«C”, the eye of the ‘“‘sighter” being applied at “B”. Of course, the scale on the upright ‘‘B” would have to be computed from actual ex- periments, every mark on the scale meaning so many feet on the tree ‘‘sighted” from a certain . distance. In view of the fact that it is not DEVICE FOR MEASURING HEIGHT OF TREES. always possible to ‘‘sight” the tree from the same distance, this upright ‘‘B” might have a scale on all four of its sides—one side com- puted for a distance of 50 feet from the tree, the other 100 feet, still another 75 feet and the _ fourth side 25 feet. Screw “‘E” enables the man who is doing the ‘‘sighting” easily elevate or depress the rod ‘‘C” without removing his eye from the ‘‘sight”. This screw would fix the position of the rod ‘‘C” when the ‘‘sight” is complete, and the operator would only have to look around at the figures on his scale to obtain the height from the ground to the point from which he ‘‘sighted.” If the scale rod ‘‘B”’ is made four-sided, as we to very We have suggested, of course the ‘‘sight” bar ““C” would have to work up and down ima slot to secure accuracy. This device would have to be planted on the ground absolutely level. To secure this the horizontal rod ‘‘A” should contain a spirit level. For rough ‘work, how- ever, a sufficiently accurate level could probably be obtained merely by having attached to the upright ‘‘G-B” plumb-bob. __ It is evident that if the machine is made of the height we have suggested—that of the average man, in order to prevent the operator from having to assume a crouching position in ‘‘sighting’’—allowance will have to be made for this height. In other words, the operator should take a preliminary ‘“‘sight” along the upper surface of the hori- zontal ‘‘A” and have an assistant to mark his “sight” point on the trunk of a tree. In nearly every case, this point would be three or four feet above the height of ordinary stump- age, and this distance should, of course, be added to the ‘‘sighted” height of the tree. Our little diagram is very crude, and we fear our description is even cruder. Such a device as we describe, however, can be very easily and very cheaply made, and for ordinary commer- cial purposes, it is sufficiently accurate. We assume that our inquirer is not interested in ascertaining the exact height of a tree to the fraction of an inch, but merely desires for commercial reasons to obtain with reasonable accuracy the length of the ‘‘commercial” body or bole of the tree. In short, we assume that he is endeavoring to get at the height of standing timber to be purchased for saw mill purposes. AN UNUSUAL RESAW DRIVE. Herewith is presented a sketch of a difficulty drive to a band resaw that has some features not ordinarily found. The machine is on the floor, almost directly under the line shaft, and in between two other machines, with not more than a foot between the nearest points of either machine. It will beseen, by referring to the dash line, that if the belt had been run with a quarter twist from the driven pulley to the drive on the line shaft, this belt would have come in contact with half the surface of the upper wheel of the machine, hence the need of the idler, which, in this case, was madefrom a relicrescued from thescrap heat, an old saw mandrel pulley 24x12 inches. To carry this pulley, framing was hung from the mill frame, and made of 6x8 inch, gained and heavily bolted, as this pulley had to carry the full working strain of the saw, being on the drive side of the belt. As is usual in fitting up old stuff, the pulley was bored too large for the shaft I wanted to use, and the first difficulty came in the black- smith shop, from the smith saying he could not forge iron large enough to make the shaft. My boxes were for 3-inch shafting, and the bore of the pulley was 4% inch, and the only piece of iron around the place near the right size was an old car axle. of broken wheels, the job of getting it was too big, so we had to look elsewhere. The fact of the matter was,that we were in a place where we had to ‘‘root hog or die,” and we came as near making something of nothing as is r ‘ el, ae vs 2, 6 aha a " —- t ‘ = » is Anne, a a4 ‘ ¢ vax * MAN As it was in a. pair < ot ALSS en ee ¥ i ir vel boat, we Sue a peice of auch shat cut off the required length with a hack s and then took this piece to the shop, — got a : center and trued it up.

At this point in the work, the ma got into a difficulty that nearly spoiled all : work, through a little carelessness. When the peice of shafting was first put the lathe, a center was made for it, and it straightened up on this center, one end ha a center init. After the collar was shrunk it, the machinist cut it off to length ‘before turning the collar to fit the pulley, and then failed in his efforts to get another center tr ue with the shaft. This should have been do is . either before turning off the shaft in the first place, or else the collar should have A turned off betore the shaft was cut off, this would have left it in a bad conditi turning, if, at any future time, it was nece to put it in the lathe for truing up.

The pulley was demolished, and the belt got rubbed a little, but in half an hour we were running again with another old pulley in place. This old pulley was a plain, cast iron hub, and, as I foresaw some trouble for the proper means of oiling, I had a groove cut in the shaft half its length anda half-inch deep, into which oil was dropped from a cupat one side, the capillary attraction keeping the pulley well oiled as long as the cup was not neglected. There is one poor feature about this resaw rig that should have been avoided, and that is, the machine must run all the time the mill is running, or the belt must be taken off. As the sawing was rather intermittent, this did not work any hardship, but if it had been in regular use, a friction clutch pulley would _ have been the logical remedy. This machine was intended to be driven from under the floor, and that would have been the proper position for the drive shaft, but the owners of the mill were set against any proposition of that kind at the starting of the mill, though an after ex- perience showed that it would have been, by all means, the cheapest in the end. The little _ saving on the lower framing does not compen- ‘sate for the costly frame and the longer belts and increased cost of maintenance of the over- head shaft. This method of driving a band resaw is suggested from the fact that the work of the band is at right angles with the line shaft and” necessitates a bevel gear, a mule stand or a quarter turn belt to drive the machine. I do _ not remember seeing more than one band re- ‘saw set to drive with a tightener direct from the line shaft, and the work for this saw was at the end of the mill and fed out into a shed, where it was not in the road of the other ma- chines, but was handy to the cut-off saws in the next building. This machine could be ‘started or stopped by means of a small rope, __ handy to the sawyer, and was the handiest rig - ek ‘ _ problems as are herein illustrated. - notice. yet seen for this purpose, but the saw has to ‘be placed where the work is wanted, in many cases. Then, we have to deal with just such A One more feature of this machine deserves It is, rather, merely one of the a uxiliaries of the machine, and is a departure from the usual rigging used to shift the guide the saw. The guides on this machine were rather stiff and hard to move rapidly, but, as a "parts of a machine become worn all too on, it was deemed best to leave it this way, provide better means of moving the guide the one sent with the machine. There the usual lever arm, and a point at which NS 5 THE This was put in, and no trouble was. 1s Lig Qo AS os ois see ere < ‘ yer’s head, the movement of which, in a hori- zontal direction, would move the guide up or down, as required. This was too weak, and, if one board following another varied much in the width, it was necessary to move the guide up before entering the board or the end of the board was very apt to strike the guide before it could be raised out of the way. To remedy this, the pole and its rigging were taken out and a stationary pole of 2 x 4 inches was fas- tened higher up and out of the way, and at each end of this pole an eye bolt was placed, to which were attached a treble block with 34- inch cotton rope, the double blocks to each of these treble blocks being attached to the arm of the lever to move the guide. This arrange- ment gave a powerful leverage on the guide lever, and the least force moved the guide up or down rapidly and easily. The guide could be jerked up out of the way from a 4-inch strip to a 12-inch board, even when running on the fast speed. The other and prominent feature of this arrangement was that it re- moved something that was forever knocking off tall men’s hats and that had given the writer many a bump on the head. The changing of that part of the saw was a matter of self- protection, as well as a convenience to the sawyer. —Packages. BURNING SAWDUST. Mr. S. J.

The entire surface of the piles of sawdust will be covered with one solid mass of flame and when seen through a peep-hole in the rear wall the combustion chamber will be filled with fire and the flames will often reach to the rear end of the boiler. I have often burned sawdust in this manner taken from green spruce logs which had lain in the water for a year, with excellent results. A curious phenomenon was often noticed, and that was a mass of balls of fire about the size of marbles and of a deep purple color, which came over the bridge wall and fell to the bottom of the rear pit. The fireman regulated the supply of sawdust by means of slides in the chutes, but if the chutes become filled with sawdust no harm would be done, as it would run down and cover the grates as fast as it burned away. We never used a fire-bar when making steam, but simply filled it up and let it burn. When banking the fire at night we would fill the furnace well up to the top, level it off, close all the doors and the damper and let it alone. Inthe morning a great mass of fire would be found and steam would be up ready for business in short order. Mr. F. W. Downs says on the same sub- ject : For burning sawdust or shavings with econ- omy, it is necessary to construct a Dutch oven and feed from a round hole in the top. If the feed hole is made square it will warp sawdust are so much different from those used in burning coal that a novice or inexperienced man finds it a very difficult task. I have ob- tained the best results with a furnace and boiler setting as shown in the accompanying sketch. The boiler setting itself is like that usually used in a horizontal boiler, but instead of the grates being under the boiler they are in‘an oven or projection built in front of the boiler setting. This oven is about to feet long and the full width of the boiler. If convenient to do so, I would make it at least 2 feet wider than the boiler. Grates with %/-inch opening seem to be the best for this purpose. The sawdust is brought by a mechanical carrier of some kind and dropped through two chutes on to the grates, where it lies in two cone-shaped piles covering the entire grate surface, and burning principally around the edges where the draft will force itself up through the fuel. In starting the fire, shavings or. any other dry material should be used, but after it is well CHEME FOR BURNING SAWDUST. SSN GSS and displace the brick. The ring forming the hole may be made of cast iron and should be about 14 inches in diameter with a flange 4 inches wide and a lip about 7 inches deep. If the sawdust is dry, a smaller grate surface is used than when the sawdust is green, in which case it is better to allow plenty of surface. When the arch gets hot, the sawdust burns from the top, hence there is little or no smoke. The arch should be built of a nearly circu- lar form of special radial brick. These should be about g inches long, 4 inches thick, the inner depth 2 inches and the outer 2% inches. It should be well stayed on the sides, and it is good practise to put a piece of heavy railroad iron across the front. If built in this manner it should last a number of years. About 140 cubic feet of sawdust equals one cord of Norway pine slabs. If there are any further details wanted, ask for them, for we burn it here in all ways and under all condi- tions.

FIRE INSURANCE FOR THE LUMBER TRADE. i Perhaps no question affecting the lumber ew trade has been more discussed in recent years than that of fire insurance. This has been due ee. ina large measure to the increased cost of carrymg insurance on saw mills and lumber yards and in some degree to the growing be- lief that the business’secured from lumbermen has not been so unprofitable as has been claimed by the underwriters. The formation of several mutual insurance companies in the United States to carry lumber risks exclusively has also served to bring the question to the foreground, and, if we can judge by the results accomplished during the first few years of their existence, theyare likely, eventually, either to secure most of the business in this line or force the board companies to reduce their a hs cs oo oe = aa * = rates. _ The first consideration, when about to place insurance, should doubtless be the ability of the company to meet its obligations. Any doubt in this respect greatly lessens the value of the insurance. Lower rates should be little in- ducement where they carry with them the suggestion that, in the event of a fire, the amount of the policy for which annual pre- miums are being paid may not be forthcoming. Having absolute security in this respect, it follows that the buyer of insurance is desirous of receiving the lowest possible rate. Lumbermen are by no means satisfied with the insurance situation existing in Canada to- day. They claim that the average rate of premium is excessive and that the companies do not classify their risks as they should, with the result that a mill or yard equipped in every respect with fire fighting appliances is charged with a portion of the expense of providing indem- nity for risks possessing the maximum hazard. Such inadequate classification removes the in- centive to undertake improvements with the object of lessening the danger of fire, a fact Ais crepe iy Ae SS aD ae EN Ss y ating hh LUMBERMAN CANADA which does not seem to have been given due consideration by the underwriters. Most of the mills in Ontario are, we believe, paying about six per cent., and if statistics were available, we are inclined to the opinion that this rate would show a very liberal margin of profit. The statement of a mill owner, published elsewhere in this number, that the rates of the board companies are higher than in the United States, would lead to this con- clusion. How far the competition of the mutual companies have affected rates in the United States we are not prepared to say, but doubtless they have been the means of keeping them within more reasonable bounds. The insurance of saw mills was discussed at a meeting of the Vancouver Board of Trade a short time ago, when Mr. Beecher, of the British Columbia Mills, Timber & Trading Company, stated that rates had been practically doubled, in fact, compound insurance rates were exacted. As an instance, he quoted the Hastings mill, which is one of the best risks on the Coast, yet the rate on the mill is extra be- cause of the boiler house; the rate on the. boiler house isextra because of the dry kiln ; it compounds each way and makes a total which is simply outrageous. The present minimum rate in British Columbia is 3% per cent. This, however, calls for such conditions that no mill built before these rates came into ex- istence—about eighteen months ago—can meet them, and therefore extras are charged up to a maximum of ro per cent. The average rate of insurance on modern British Columbia mills is about 7 per cent. Many lumbermen express the opinion that it would be better to abolish the maximum limit unless a more equitable method of rating is adopted. A certain mill, for instance, is assessed at the minimum of 3% per cent. to begin with, then the extras are added at the will of the underwriters, till per- haps 9 per cent. is reached. Another mill, not nearly so well equipped for fire protection, is also assessed at the 3% per cent. to begin with and the extras added until, if carried out in proportion to the other mill, the; would reach.probably 15 or 16 per cent. lowever, as there is a limitation of ro per cent., te mill with practically no fire protection is assessed at only one per cent. more than the first mill, although there is no comparison in the risk. We understand that a number of lumbermen, believing that the expense is excessive, have decided to carry their own insurance until such time as they are able to obtain more satis- factory terms. These may be secured by the insurance company _—s formation of a mutual among the lumbermen of Canada. Such a company, entering into competition with the existing companies, would be almost certain to cause a reduction in rates, and there is no reason to believe that the plan which is work- ing out so successfully in the United States could not be adopted with advantage in this country. The columns of the CanaDA LUMBERMAN are open for a discussion of the question: This journal aims to promote the interests of all lum- bermen. Its columns are intended for a discussion of all subjects affecting the magnificent industry it represents. ' mee m All 4 den r a | THE FELLING OF TIMBER, The Russian Lesopromishleny — Viestnik, a journal published in the interest of the timber trade, contains in a recent issue some pertinent — remarks regarding the preservation of the © forests. In Russia, as in this country, it is the custom to cut only trees of certain dimen-— sions, the limit being 10% inches diameter at the top in the Government forests and 7 inches in private lands. An examination of the felled areas in after years has revealed large quantity of dry standing timber. Or contemporary contributes this deteriorati the thinning of the forests by felling the chantable trees to such an extent that t mainder are swayed by the wind, and thr the continual rocking movement the sr fibres of the root break in the groun consequence of which is that the tree receiv insufficient nourishment. After that its “com plete destruction is but a matter of time The system above referred to, and jurious effects, are not unknown in Canad indeed, it is claimed that in New Brun and Nova Scotia the forests in many pa rts being ruined in the same manner. The loss is _ not confined to the dry timber, as the e ence of this timber is likely to attract insects — and the whole forest be damaged thereby a What have our lumbermen and foresters to. ve say on the question ? Ag RTE YG ~ 5 a PULP AND PULP WOOD DUTIES. A al. a The United States Treasury Department a Washington has recently given two rulin affecting the pulp industy which, to say th least, has created some surprise. The first of — these provides that rossed pulp wood 10 ;. into the country shall be subject to the uty of | 20 per cent. specified in Section 200 of the Dingley Act, on the ground that it is a manu-_ factured article. Such a decision w -unex- pected, inasmuch as the rossed wood duty was first assessed about two years ago but was suspended pending the final decision by the courts. The Government, however, never pressed theappeal, andit was generally supposed ‘ that the question had been finally disposed of — OP ist ae and that such wood was to be given free entry into the country. The pulp and paper manu-— : facturers of the United States are affected by — the duty, as the cost of the raw “material a imported from Canada, which is a considerable ; quantity, will be substantially increasec sy ly in Quebec, are also somewhat exerc the ruling, which if sustained by the o will result in a curtailment of the pulp o exports. Canadian pulp manufacturers 1 th other hand, are perhaps in. sympathy v decision of the Treasury Department. — i The second ruling is less favorable pulp manufacturers and more than offsets advantage likely to accrue through the | aa tion placed on the export of the raw in rossed form. By it all pulp imported fr Quebec, whether manufactured from wood ci on Crown or private lands, must pay countervailing duty assessed under paragr. ph 393 of the Tariff Act. This section reads: ‘« Provided, that ifany country or dependency ~ ie hd ba Seer 1 se oe Tae ie en Ball rast ad = shall impose an export duty on pulp wood exported to the United States, the amount of ‘such export duty shall be added, as an addition- al duty, to the duties herein imposed upon wood _ pulp, when imported from such country or de- pendency.” The Province of Quebec charges stumpage _ dues on pulp wood of 65 cents per cord, and _ allows a rebate of 25 cents for timber manu- factured within the Province. This is interpret- ed by the Washington Government as being an export duty within the law. There time of writing some doubt as to whether it is the intention that the additional duty shall apply to pulp manufactured in Quebec only or in all parts of Canada. On the whole, the United States seems to be _ more disturbed by the new duties than does _ Canada. They want our pulp wood, and if they cannot get it will have to buy our pulp to a greater extent than in the past. The legis- lators of Quebec should not change their policy _ of endeavoring to build up the pulp and paper manufacturing industry, but should go a step farther than they have and prohibit entirely the _ exportation of pulp wood. Perhaps the little disturbance which the new duties have caused _ may lead to legislation beneficial to Canada. is at THE WINNIPEG EXHIBITION. The Winnipeg Exhibition brought out quite a number of exhibitors in the lumber and wood- working section. Among the more prominent _ was the exhibit made by Geo. W. Murray, con- j sisting of high grade sash and doors, office and store fittings, etc. Mr. Murray’s sash and door ) factory has lately been remodelled. The floor space is now equal to 30,000 square feet and - in addition the plant contains four new section- al dry kilns. These recent improvements make it one of the best factories in Western Canada. The Winnipeg Paint & Glass Company, who _deal extensively in lumber, made a very neat exhibit of several city houses which had been ‘supplied by them. tions were correctly painted and showed how wooden houses could be made very attractive. Messrs. Shurley & Deitrich, of Galt, Ont., , had a most comprehensive exhibit of saws, all of which were of their famous Maple Leaf q brand. The saws used for lumbering purposes, including circular and band saws, were greatly admired. They occupied the entire end of No. 3 manufacturers’ building. - Some saw mill machinery was shown by the . Stuart Machinery pompany, Limited, of Win- nipeg.

Of late years, with the introduction or larger and improved saws, it has become the custom of some lumbermen to square hardwood timber, say 10 x 10 and up, in the mill. When it passes into the hands of the Quebec shippers, who know thoroughly the whims of the British buyers, they frequently put it through the pro- cess of hewing, although in what way the timber is thus improved or rendered more acceptable is not very clear. The opinion was recently ventured that it was done to give the impression that the timber had been cut froma virgin limit, as many of the limits from which sawlogs are now being obtained were once lumbered for square and waney timber. * * * Talking to a lumberman from the State of, Washington, he says that there is practically very little of their lumber or timber being ship- ped into Canada this year, but they could not guarantee to “dump” when dumping was necessary.

The Canadian Pacific Railway is the instigator. It has threatened the British Columbia mill men with an advance infir rates. The lumbermen are supremely foolish to allow themselves to be taken in in this way. The Canadian govern- ment, extremely solicitous of its colonization scheme in the Northwest Territory, will not tolerate an advance in rates for a minute, and the Canadian Pacific knows that the protest that would go forth in the event of an advance would be so strong that its action would be rescinded. If the commission should acquiesce, the British Columbia mill men will never have any standing with the railway company. The law of discrimination is very plain, and this journal will be very much surprised if the com- mission reverses itself.—Pacific Coast Lumber Trade Journal. * * % In an interview with Mr. C. H. Wheeler, the well known Winnipeg architect, he stated that half a million feet of lumber was made in one day by one of the mills of the Rainy River Lumber Company. This shows a remarkable growth of the lumber industry in the centre of Canada within 150 miles of Winnipeg. The Rat Portage Lumber Company also employ many hundreds at their mills at Kenora (which, by the way, is the new name for Rat Portage). The town of Rainy River is becoming quite a centre for the lumber industry and in popula- tion will soon rival the town of Fort Francis. Mr. Wheeler had a run up the river on a gas- oline launch and states that the water sides were piled with logs on which the lumber jacks were working and sorting for driving down to the mills. Mr. S. Youhill, of Rainy River, has a large financial interest in logging and he calculates that there is at least seventy million feet of log timber now on the river awaiting the saws of the Rat Portage and the Rainy River companies. The logging industry of the Rainy River country is flourishing and the river itself being wide and deep is navigable for nearly one hundred miles from its outlet at the Lake of the Woods. | WHAT CONSTITUTES “ MILL RUN.” SEAFORTH, OnT., August 7th, 1905. Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN : Dear SirR,—Your quotations for rock elm, soft elm and maple are all mill run. An expert lumber inspec- tor told me the other day that all mill culls and hearts were taken out of the mill run lumber. Now, sir, I don’t claim to be an expert at the lumber business, but if all mill culls and hearts are thrown out, then what is left should grade common and better. I would like you to give me your opinion in the next issue of the LUMBERMAN. A SUBSCRIBER. Ans.—While, unfortunately, there are no recog- nized rules in Canada for the grading of hardwood lumber, we believe it is generally admitted that ‘* Mill Run” should include the entire product of the log ex- | cepting dead culls, which are considered to be refuse and not marketable lumber. The grades adopted by the Hardwood Manufacturers’ Association of the United States are: Firsts and seconds ; No. 1 com- mon; No. 2 common; No. 3 common ; No. 4 com- mon; and scoots. ‘‘Log Run”’ is described to mean the full run of the log with all grades below No. 3 com- mon out. The grades of the National Hardwood Lumber Association are: Firsts ; seconds; No. 1 common; No. 2 common; and No. 3 common. Run” common out, “ Log aa »y is designated the full run of the log with.

The President, Mr. Lewis Dill, presided, and made a brief opening address. Mr. E. F. Perry, secretary, presented a very sanguine re- port. The membership of the association on August 1 was 344 as compared with 314 on a ees 4 i= : 5 s March 1, 1905. Reference was made to the good work done by the various departments of — the association, including the railway and transportation department and the credit de- partment or bureau. The latter report said in — part: , a ‘“Since March ist of this present year special em Se, phasis had been laid upon the fact that the legal de-— partment or collection department of the association, Mr. W.

We have been very much encouraged by — the numerous letters received from our ‘members, : referring to the manner in which many of these col- — lections have been handled. This department has de- — veloped along a line somewhat different from that ex- pected at the outset. Probably one half of the amount of the claims that we have handled this year have been — somewhat on the basis of arbitration; in other words have largely been settled by negotiation.

Our system of guaranteed attorneys places us in position to handle your claims through high class lawyers in any city of _. the United States or Canada, assuring you that you will get your money if collected. “‘T am pleased to be able to report that the Railroad & Transportation Department seems to be receiving the encouragement of the members of the association, and we believe this department will soon get to a point where it will appeal to you, and where you will find a haven for those annoying claims which always seem to be turned down by the railroads once or twice _ before they reach an official who is willing to give them proper consideration. In again referring to the ear stake and car equipment proposition which comes under this department, we wish to urge your support even though you may not feel you are directly in- terested in the aa paras you may not often be required to equip cars.’ Mr. F. R. Babcock submitted the joint re- port of the Railroad and Transportation and Legislative Committee, which contained a recommendation of the Executive Committee that a complaint be prepared and filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission against the various railroads operating under official classi- fication territory, providing that the roads be required to furnish the necessary car stakes and racks to properly protect lumber when shipped on flat and gondola cars in compliance with the rulings of the various roads, and to make the proper allowance for freight thereon. Mr. R. W. Higbie submitted the report of the Committee on Legislation, which referred particularly to the relations existing between the lumbermen and the railroads in respect to _ the furnishing of car stakes. In the evening the lumbermen, accompanied ' by their lady friends, enjoyed a trip down the Ottawa river on the steamer ‘‘Empress.” An orchestra accompanied the party and furnished sweet music. Resuming for business on Thursday morning, the report of the Committee on Fire Insurance was presented, recommending that the rates of insurance should be based on the conditions found to exist in each lumber yard. Mr. Pen- _ dennis White, of the Lumber Underwriters, New York, spoke on how some companies have reduced losses and given better satisfac- tion by having inspectors examine each risk, consider the surrounding hazards, the way the yard i is kept, etc., and then making a special rate for each risk instead of having one rate to - cover various risks. Mr. E. Stewart, chief of the forestry branch of the Department of the Interior, addressed _ the members of the association on the desir- ability of preserving the young timber. A contribution on the subject appears elsewhere in this number. _ Then arose a very lively discussion concern- g the complaint which has been filed with the ir nterstate Commerce Commission against all the railroads east of the Mississippi river, al- leg ing unjust discrimination by the said rail- roads against lumber shippers. The complaint in brief is that the lumbermen in shipping con- struct their own racks and stakes on flat cars, h costing about $6 per car, and are not al- of a freight reduction for the weight of the stakes. It is also claimed that the railways bear the expense of racks required for other commodities. A complaint was filed with the commission by the National Wholesale Lum- ber Dealers’ Association and on the recommen- dation of the railroad and transportation com- mittee a joint convention of the association and the delegates from other associations was held. This joint convention unanimously endorsed the action of the National association and com- mittees were appointed to secure the co-opera- tion of all lumber associations in providing ways and means and in pressing the complaint before the Interstate Commission. This ended the business meetings, and in the afternoon the party were driven around in the city. The dinner tendered by the Ottawa Valley manufacturers at the Russell House on Thursday evening was thoroughly enjoyable and successful in every way. The beauty of the large dining room was enhanced by lavish decorations, emblematic of the woods, with pine, spruce boughs and other woodland effects in flowers and foliage. From a sylvan nook an orchestra rendered excellent music during the evening. Covers were laid for one hundred and fifty guests. The menu card was unique, the letter text including the following : Specification Chopped from a White Pine Stump. Skidded with Tongs, if you please. Little Neck Clams. Laid on the Ice.

Booth, Ottawa’s veteran lum- berman, was chairman and associated with him as toast master was Senator Edwards. Toasts to His Majesty, the King, and to the President of the United States were honored with enthusiasm. ‘‘Our Guests” was then pro- posed by Senator Edwards and Mayor Ellis. Mr. Lewis Dill, president of the association, was most happy in hisreply. He paida grace- ful compliment to the hosts of the evening when he said: ‘‘It has been said that the United States will not get another opportunity to annex Canada, that it has had several opportunities to do so and has missed them. I want to say on behalf of the National Whole- sale Lumber Dealers’ Association that we don’t lowed any discount on freight rates to cover wish to annex Canada any more.

This toast, and the next toast, to Mr. J. R. Booth, were both impromptu and both were honored with marked enthusiasm. The final toast, ‘‘The Ladies,” brought pleasing addresses from Mr. J. G. Foster, United States consul general, and Mr. W. L. Mac- kenzie King. Mr. Albert E. Heney recited a nomination speech ‘‘ Up the Gatineau” and other habitant selections in his own excellent style and the Americans were particularly delighted. Mr. Cecil Bethune was also most pleasing in his rendering of ‘‘The Maple Leaf’ and ‘‘Loch Lomond.” On Friday morning the delegates were taken in hand for a sale up the river on the steamer ““G. B. Greene.”” Cars left Sappers Bridge for Aylmer at 8.30. The trip was greatly enjoyed. The party returned to Ottawa early in the afternoon, and many of the delegates left for their homes on the evening trains. The local committee in charge of the enter- tainment features of the meeting consisted of W. C. Hughson, chairman; Gordon C. Edwards, secretary; Fred Booth, W. H. A. Fraser, George Perley, H. K. Egan, Fred W. Avery and Peter Whelan. Writing to the CanapA LUMBERMAN con- cerning the convention, Mr. Owen M. Bruner, wholesale lumber dealer, Philadelphia, says : ‘‘In regard to the convention held last week at Ottawa, I believe that it excelled any of the past conventions, in fact, never in the history of the lumber business was there a meeting of such importance to the lumbermen. The feel- ing of good fellowship between the Canadian and United States lumbermen was very notice- able. The Ottawa Valley lumbermen acquit- ted themselves most creditably as_ hosts. Every attention given to visitors was most cordial. The entertainment provided was of the best, and I am sure was thoroughly ap- preciated by the visitors.” A NEW WESTERN FIRM.

The Aberdeen mills of Donald Fraser & Sons at Fredericton, N. B., were totally destroyed by fire on August rith, together with about five million feet of lumber. The following account of the fire has been furnished. The mill, which wassituated on the riverbank, was one of the best equipped mills to be found anywhere, and with machinery costing in the vicinity of $30,000. In front of this building and situated on the road side is the large Aberdeen boading house. Below the mill was a large storehouse that at the time of the fire was filled with box shooks valued at about $1 15,000. Below these buildings and extending _ down the road several hundreds of yards and reaching back to the river, were many acres, tier on tier, of piled sawed. lumber, chiefly spruce and pine, amounting altogether to about ten millions of feet. About a quarter to six in the evening the men in the lower floor near the centre of the mill saw a flame shoot up from below, and be- fore some of them had time to catch up any- thing, the fire broke forth in tremendous fury. As it was, a number had difficulty in escaping, The fire alarm was rung in as quickly as possible, but so rapidly did the flames spread. in five minutes the whole structure was one mass of flames. The shed on the river bank soon became ignited, and from the bank the conflagration rapidly spread to the lumber. Vast crews of men worked hard and earn- estly to remove the lumber which had not yet been touched, and with teams managed to take away some thousands or feet.

Vic- toria Mills and stationed at the river bank, and supplied two good streams. After it be- came evident that the lumber could not be saved, the firemen turned their whole attention to saving the big Aberdeen boarding house and the residence on the opposite side of the street. For three hours they fought hard. Carpets and material of all kinds were spread in front of the buildings and streams turnedon. In spite of all, the structures would catch, and it was a warm and interesting contest. Finally the men were rewarded, and all these buildings were saved. At 10.30 the fire was under con- trol. The loss is estimated at $100,000, insurance $35,000. About 125 hands are turned out of employment. Donald Fraser stated a few days after the fire that nothing had been decided upon as to rebuilding. It would be impossible to geta mill running this season, and arrangements would be made to have the company’s logs sawn in St. John, and they hoped to be able to fillthe contracts they had made. Fraser & Sons own and operate large mills at Plaster Rock and Cabano, the latter being one of the largest and best saw mills in the country. EARLY LUMBERING OPERATIONS. (From an address by the Hon. J.K. Ward before the Natural History Society, Montreal in 1895.) The first timber shipped to Europe from Canada was sent from Quebec to Larochelle by Tallon in 1667. Lieut. Hocquart shipped tim- ber and boards to Rochefort in 1735. In 1823, 300 cargoes were shipped from Quebec. In the early part of the present century the Montmorency mills were established by a Mr. Usboirne. Mr. Peter Patterson, a ship car- penter by trade, who had spent some time in Russia, became an employee of Mr. Osboirne’s and finally proprietor of the property, and be- came one of the largest manufacturers of lum- ber in Canada. Sir John Caldwell established mills at Riviere-du-Loup en Bas and at Et- chemin. The late William Price, father of the Hon. J. Price, of Quebec, established large mills at Chicoutimi, St. Alexis, L’Anse, St. Jean, St.Etienne, Batiscan, Matane and many other places, leaving an immense business to his sons, which is now conducted by the son be- fore named.

Philomene Wright, the first lumberman on the Ottawa river, came from Woburn in the United States, arriving at the Chaudiere Falls —or the Asticou, as called by the Indians—as — carly as the year 1796. It was not till 1797 that he finally decided to make his home in Canada, and on the 2oth of October, 1799, he and two comesa ie pitched upon the site of the future city of Hull. He finally qui Woburn for Canada on the 2nd of Febr 1800. He was accompanied by five familie and had in his train fourteen horses, oxen and seven sleighs. The first tree felled on the site of the homestead on the of March of the same year. He brought first square timber from the Ottawa to Queb in the year 1807.

The Bowman Lumber Company, of Revelstoke, have two logging camps and two logging engines at work on Fish Creek, delivering 120,000 to 150,000 feet a day. Some Duluth capitalists, represented by Dr. Cook and others, were at Grand Forks, B.C., recently negotiating for the purchase of some 25 square miles of timber limits up the North Fork of the Kettle River. They have a cruiser with them for the purpose of cruising the timber. Should the deal go through, Dr. Cook and his associates will erect a large mill and find a market in the new places that are opening along the Kettle River in Nicola Valley. The Kendall Logging Company, which has been working at Comox, has sus- pended operations. The men who were working for the company have put in their claims, which amount to $1,900, the logs seized being worth approximately $2,100. The engine, which was only partially paid for, has been taken back by the Chemai:.us Lumber Company, who had a lien on it, and the E. K. Wood Company, of Belling- ham, are said to have a chattel mortgage on the rest of the logging outfit. The company operated on limits owned by the E. K. Wood Company. There are other creditors, but for what amounts has not been learned. A Vancouver paper recently contained an announcement concerning the taxation of timber lands. Itread: ‘‘Notices are being issued calling upon the holders of all timber under license to furnish returns as to the value set upon their timber to the tax assess the values themselves and levy the tax accordingly. It estimated that there will be raised by this means a revenue of $400,000.” The above notice was somewhat misleading, and was further explained by the publication of the follow- ing : ‘‘We age informed that there are no notices being sent out by the assessor to the holders of licenses of timber lands, be- cause timber lands held under lease or license are exempt from taxation by the act. What is being done, however, is that a form is being sent out to the owners of timber land to be filled up in accordance with the Act, showing the description, value and other particulars of the land they claim to be timber land, so that the assessor may know whether to assess itz per cent. as timber land or 4 per cent. as wild land. This form is being sent out in the ordinary course of the assessor's duties in preparation of the roll for 1906, to the lessees or is and none are sent licensees of provincial timber lands.” LN BUSINESS NOTES. A demand of assignment is reported to have been made upon Isreal Nantel, lum- ber dealer, Montreal. David R. Galbraith, lumber nianufac- turer, Mar, Ont., is announced to have assigned to D. R. Jermyn. The W. F. Huntting Lumber Company, Vancouver, B.C., report very good busi- ness in shingles this summer. They are running night and day. The Liverpool. firm of R. Parker & Company, Limited, in liquidation, has managed to pay no less than 15s 4%d on the pound, a result which will be very satisfactory to all concerned, including the directors. collectors andassessors.

Pema n pT & CoG FISHER’S POWER RIVETING MACHINE. The illustration shows a power riveting machine which has been in use in the United States for about three years, for use in riveting hoops for pails, lard, jelly and candy packages, etc. The inventor has now made arrangements for its manufacture, under the Canadian patent, with the John McDougall Caledonian Iron Works Company,Limited, of Montreal. Provision is made in the machine for bringing up the rivets, successively, in position to be engaged with the hoop, and for heading the rivet with a hammer, or FISHER'S POWER RIVETING MACHINE. more properly with a press, which runs continuously by power. Suitable provision is also made for holding the lap closely during the riveting process. This con- struction allows the operator the use of both hands ex- clusively for handling hoops, thereby enabling a boy or girl to rivet rather more than double the number of hoops, in a given time, which could be riveted by the old process, The machine has a record in the United States ot one hundred hoops riveted in three minutes. SCROLL, RIP AND RESAWING MACHINE. This engraving represents the No. 5 patent heavy band-scroll, rip and re-sawing machine manufactured by the Defiance Machine Works, of Defiance, Ohio. It is a combination of three machines in one, and it will be found a most desirable and useful tool for woodworkers in general. It will do all kinds of scroll sawing from the most delicate work using the finest saw blade, up to sawing heavy hard wood such as used in wagon, agricultural implement, railway cars, and ship construction work. It is capable of carrying a saw blade up to 2” wide, and as a hand feed ripping saw it covers every requirement and it will be found more economical than a circular saw, as the saw kerf _ is smaller, and it will do more work and do it easier without the liability of injuring the operator. Asa re- sawing machine, it will split lumber 12” wide and any- TORONTO thing narrower, either straight or beveling, and it will saw smooth and true. It can be changed in a mo- ment’s time from one class of work to the other. “ah The frame is a massive casting in one piece, with cored center and a broad floor base to stand firm. Every line in its design is new and original. The table, of iron, is in two parts, the one at the ‘ left is stationary, and it is 20” by 29”; the main table is 30” by 34”, and it is arranged to tilt for bevel sawing to 45° angle, by a circular rack and pinion operated by a convenient hand wheel, which is provided with a tric- tion binder to lock the table and hold it in any desired position. The circular bearing underneath the table is laid off in degrees, so that it can be accurately set to any angle required. The distance from the inside of the frame to the saw is 36”, and it measures 51” from \ the inside of the frame to the outside edge of the table, y Fe giving ample room for large wide sawing. } The patent rip saw gauge is attached to the table by - r Pi oo Pa ey Oe " ‘ ae et ae 4 Le ee i : q No. 5 Patent HEAvy BAND-SCROLL, RIP AND ReE-SAWING MACHINE. ; a friction binder, and it can be instantly set to any i position. It can be ‘used on either the right or left aA hand side of the saw. A scale is laid off on the table by which to set the gauge the desired distance from , the saw, without the use of a rule. ‘ The re-sawing attachment is accurately constructed with cut gears and is driven by a belt from thelower _— : wheel shaft. It can be quickly adjusted to saw lumber i. of different thickness, and width and whenthe table is © tS tilted, it will saw beveling. er eeeeeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeE ae * J. W.

G. Pake, formerly a lumberman at Duluth, Minn., has been in British Columbia recently making arrangements for building a large saw mill on the west coast of Vancouver Island. He is general manager of the Sutton Lumber & Trading Company, which has large holdings of timber in the vicinity of Clayoquot, about 75 miles northwest of Victoria, B. C. The plan is to erect a mill to cut the cedar timber into rough lumber for shipment around the Horn in sailing vessels to New York for the trade of the New England States. It is expected that the mill will be ready for operations early next year. Mr. Pake was for a long period superintendent at Duluth for Alger, Smith & Company. —John Hanbury, of Brandon, Man., has purchased the box factory and saw mill of the British Columbia Box & Lumber Company at Vancouver, B. C. The plant consists of a band mill rersaw and other necessary equipment. It is his intention, for the present at least, to discontinue box-making and run the mill altogether on cedar lumber. As the business progresses, addition- al plant will be added and the mill enlarged.

ES A LM eT hale, oie Bye he een eR EET Nae SE aA Ne Ee me Werk sy; ‘ a aaa i he : CANADA LUMBERMAN a —In connection with the harbor improvements at Vancouver, B.C., is a large area of ‘‘made land’ that is being reclaimed between the C.P.R. station and the Pacific Coast Lumber Company. A very ad- mirable arrangement has been entered into between the railway and the lumber company. The C.P.R. are putting in a bulwark of stone and piling about 200 yards from the shore, the Pacific Coast Lumber Com- pany are filling in between with their refuse, and the railway company will put on a top coating of earth three feet thick. By this arrangement the lumber com- pany easily dispose of their refuse and the C.P.R. get good filling-in material right at hand. The conditions attached are that the Pacific Coast Lumber Company may use the area, which is probably a quarter of a mile long, for a piling ground until such time as the C.P.R. needs it for its own purposes, which may be years hence. —The Red Cedar Lumber Company, of Vancouver, have just completed a new brick stack 75 feet high, do- ing away with the old iron stacks. A great objection to the iron stacks has been the action of the salt water atmosphere on the metal, causing them to give out within one or two years, oftentimes falling and com- pelling a temporary cessation of operations. A feature of their new stack is a brick sawdust burner attached to it. The burner is built like a huge box some 15 feet high, the top being in the form of a hopper so balanced that the weight of the refuse falling on it from the carrier causes it to open, depositing the refuse inside. The stack and saw-dust burner are located about fifteen feet away from the boilers, but the smoke from the latter will be conveyed by draft pipe into stack directly above the level of the top of the burner. This design of stack and burner is entirely new in Vancouver but promises to be thoroughly efficient and is certainly a very safe arrangement. Two recent publications from Sheldon & Sheldon, Galt, Ont., describe their steel plate fans and steam specialties. —A report from Bloomfield, Vt., states that the Con- necticut Valley Lumber Company has entered a suit agaiast the Grand Trunk Railway involving half a million dollars. The lumber company claims that 30,000 acres of timber land owned by the company were de- stroyed in 1903 by fire, said to have been caused by a locomotive of the defendant corporation. The claim of the Connecticut Lumber Company is for $300,000. Several other cases will be brought up by different lumber firms, with losses aggregating $200,000 by the same fire, as these firms have agreed that the Connec- ticut Valley suit shall be regarded as a test. More than 500 witnesses have been summoned. RAILS ana NEW and Re-Laying from 12 to 60 lbs. per yard with fastenings ; for Lumbering, Mining and Con- tracting Work. Immediate shipment from Stock.

Collectors of customs in the United States received instructions, about August Ist, to collect 25 cents per ton additional on all im- portations of ground wood brought in from Quebec, regardless of whether the wood from which the pulp was made was cut on Crown lands or not. This extra assessment is known as a countervailing duty, the same being to off- set the rebate of 25 cents per cord allowed by the Province of Quebec on the cost of wood cut on Crown lands when that wood is ground into pulp anywhere in Canada. Since the de- cision of the United States Board of General Appraisers in the countervailing duty cases, the collectors at the various ports have been assessing the extra duty only on pulp made from wood cut on Crown lands or where the pulp was mixed, being part from Crown land and part from private land wood. An appeal against the above duty was taken to the Northern District Court of New York, and Judge Ray, in his review, affirms the de- cision of the United States Board of General Appraisers. His decision is as follows: This is an appeal from a decision of the Board of General Appraisers, rendered February 17, 1904, imposing a countervailing duty on wood pulp imported from the Dominion of Canada. Albert H. Washburn for the United States. Henry J. Cookingham for appellant. Ray, District Judge. This appeal relates to protest 58,943-B, 59,- 372-B, 59,489-B, 58,164-B, 58,162-B, 58, 160-B, and 59,940-B, countervailing duty on wood pulp. Subdivision 393 of the Tariff Act of 1897 reads as follows: “Mechanically ground wood pulp, one-twelfth of one cent per pound, dry weight; chemical wood pulp, unbleached, one-sixth of one cent per pound, dry weight; bleached, one-fourth of one cent per pound, dry weight: Provided, that if any country or dependency shall impose an export duty on pulp wood exported to the United States, the amount of such export duty shall be added, as an additional duty, to the ‘duties herein imposed upon wood pulp, when imported from such country or dependency.” The wood pulp in question came from Canada as an importation into the United States. The board held that pulp manufactured in Ontario from wood cut from public lands in Quebec was subject to the countervailing duty; that pulp made from wood cut from public lands in Quebec and manufactured in Quebec was subject to the countervailing duty; that ‘pulp manufactured from wood cut from private lands and manufactured either in Quebec or Ontario was not subject to the countervailing duty, and that as the pulp could not be segre- gated but the proportions could be established by a percentage, the entire importation was not subject to the duty, but only that percentage of pulp which was made from wood taken from public lands. The importers contend: First.—That the Government has no right to impose a countervailing duty upon pulp im- ported from any part of the Dominion of Canada. Second.—That in any event the countervail- ing duty cannot be imposed upon pulp manu- factured in Ontario from wood cut on public lands in the Province of Quebec. Third.—That in no event is the countervail- ing duty leviable on pulp imported from Quebec except as to the extent that it is made from wood cut on public lands, and upon which there has been a reduction of the stumpage dues. The Dominion of Canada is divided_into provinces, among which are Ontario ~ and Quebec. By the British North America Act (Chap. 3 of 30-31 Victoria) the Dominion of Canada has exclusive power to impose export or im- port duties. But in sections 91 and 92 of that act we find in the distribution of powers among the Provinces that it is provided each Provincial Legislature has the following power of legislation: (1) Power of direct taxation within the province in order to the raising of revenue for provincial purposes. (2) Manage- ment and sale of public lands belonging to the. province and of the wood and timber thereon. (3) Shop, saloon, tavern, auctioneer and other licenses, in order to the raising of the revenue for provincial, local or municipal purposes. I think each province has the power of taxation by way of license in those matters confided to it. Ifin the exercise of this power lawfully granted, whether by the mother country direct or by it through the Dominion, the province in point of fact and effect imposes an export duty on pulp wood exported to the United States, it is an imposition of that duty by the Dominion of Canada. There is no question that the Dominion of Canada is a dependency of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Ido not regard it necessary to recite the various laws, &c., bearing on the subject. In effect, by authority of law, an export duty is imposed. It is not done directly by the King- dom of Great Britain or directly by the Dominion of Canada, but it is done under legislation authorized by the Dominion. I cannot agree with the reasoning that arrives at aconclusion that this is not a duty imposed by a dependency of the country we call England, one of the great powers of the world. It is not called an export duty by that Dominion, but is imposed as alicense fee. The merchandise cannot escape our law because we call it export duty and Quebec or Ontario calls ita license. The question is what is it in effect and in fact. The decision of the Board of General Ap- praisers is affirmed. : DUTY ON ROSSED PULP WOOD. The unexpected action of the United States Treasury Department in notifying the collectors . of customs to assess all importations of rossed wood at 20 per cent. ad valorem has aroused the indignation of the large consumers in the United States. The officials of each one of the” big paper companies that draws it supply principally from Canada are considerably ex- ercised over the new turn of affairs. All of them have filed protests in the names of their companies against the collection of the duty. In additionto these protests there is now a move- ment on foot to make a joint protest to the authorities at Washington. In the protest the main point that will be brought to the attention of the Secretary of the’Treasury will be the fact that the delay in settling the controversy over the duty rests with the Government, as the case on appeal CANADA LUMBERMAN - York, have taken the selling agency for has been before the United States Cire Court for over a year. It will be recalled the United States Board of General Appraisers on March 31, 1904, rendered a decision in favor of the importers and against the assessment of the 20 per cent. duty that had been imposed under instructions from Washington. From this decision continuing the free entry of rossed — wood the Government appealed in the earl) part of the following May. Since then the case has slumbered in the clerk’s office at Burlington, Vt. Because of the delay of the Government to prosecute its appeal the pa per manufacturers concerned took it for granted that nothing further would be heard of the case. ; as Now, after two years since the 20 per c duty was assessed, namely,June, 1903, the porters are suddenly arroused from slumber by the instructions sent out by t Treasury Department to the collectors to < rossed wood at 20 per cent. pending final de cision by the courts, J ee The Paper Trade Journal says that practi- ‘cally all the paper manufacturing companies — in Northern Maine, New Hampshire, mont and New York are now in arms against — the assessment of the duty. As the ou - for getting the order rescinded is not | many of the manufacturers have already made arrangements to have their wood shipped in — the rough with the bark on. But, although — . there seems little chance of continuing the free entry for rossed wood, the paper men ‘con- cerned are not going to let the matter drop — without first making a vigorous protest. The unfairness of their treatment at the hands of the-Government is what they object to princi- — pally. The case, they say, should have been _ decided long ago if the Government really meant to try to collect 20 per cent. ad valorem on rossed wood on the ground that it was a_ manufactured article. * - aes Se Canadian pulp wood shippers were notified by their American representatives to ship no | more rossed pulp wood to the United States — for the present. It is estimated that only about half of the year’s shipments have been made so far, and the remainder is on the — hands of the Canadian shippers. Canada ex- — ports about 500,000 cords of pulp wood per | year, about half of which is machine peeled. a “at e PULP NOTES. 7 4 . 4 in | 5 ee. ir & “cl = Dr. Carl Kellner, Ph.

Shingle Saw Grinder OR keeping down the thickness of shingle saws and thereby saving timber, we are now putting on th> market a grinding machine. Several of these machines have been runaing in different mills for some months. It will at once be seen that we have made a radical change from anything at present on the market for this purpose. The saws are ground much quicker with the grindstone than with the emery wheel. It is also found that the grindstone does not roil the saws out of shape as the emery wheels do. The cut shows the machine so clearly that very little, if any, explana- tion is necessary. The shaft on which the saw is fastened is driven direct with the belt; the grindstone being driven with a bevel gear and pinion. The grindstone is made to move back and forth by the cam. The grindstone shaft is not at right angles to the saw shaft, but at an angle equal to the taper on the saw. This angle can be made greater or less by turning the eccentric sleeve in which one end of the shaft tuns. The position of the feeding ‘cam can be adjusted in or out by slacking up the bolts holding it and pushing it in the direction wanted. The machine is simplicity itself, and as will be seen, is built very strong. Limitea, Vancouver, B. C.

Mr. Thomas Southworth, Director of Fores- try for Ontario, has this to say in his last report on the subject of municipal forest reserves: ‘‘As a preliminary and experimental measure looking toward the creation of small municipal reserves in settled districts possessing con- ‘s siderable areas of non-agricultural or inferior land, I would suggest that the Assessment Act be amended so as to allow townships to hold, in perpetuity, lots purchased at tax salesh sit it were considered advisable, the power to hold such lands tor a longer period than seven years might be restricted to such areas as the municipal council might by by-law set apart as forest reserves, subject to such regulations regarding their management as might from time to time be enacted by the Provincia! Administration. The small value attaching to LUMBERMEN No chance to rip where it generally does rip SHOULD SEE OUR—— PATENT SEAMLESS HEEL LARRIGANS in the ordinary make. PATENT LEGGING such waste and partially denuded areas as the abandoned clearings which are sold for taxes enables the community to reclaim at trifling expense a large portion of the territory which should never have been allowed to pass into the hands of private owners, and the com- munities more especially interested ought to be permitted to take advantage of the opportunity thus presented to restore to useful production by reforestation such lands as have proven unfit for agricultural development”. New Ontario, Mr. Southworth says, is rapidly being denuded of trees, and he express- es the opinion that the province should retain the ownership, or at any rate the control of a sufficient proportion of the areas thrown open for settlement to insure the preservation of an adequate proportion of wooded land to main- tain the favorable conditions of climate and water supply for the development of the districts in question.

TORONTO, MONTREAL — OCTOBER, 1905 — WINNIPEG, VANCOUVER TERMS, $1.00 PER YEAR Single Copies, 10 Cents LUMBERING IN NEWFOUNDLAND Much attention has of late years been paid tothe development of the lumber industry in Newfoundland by the lumbermen of the East- ern provinces and the New England states. A vast amount of capital has been invested and a large amount of work already done, the invest- ments in the majority of cases being productive of first class returns, while in others, owing to the greed of the speculator, or the inability of the operator to grasp actual and indisputable facts in connection with the forest wealth of the land, but poor returns have resulted. In order to give the read- er an accurate idea of the possibilities that lie before the industry, it is necessary to bear slightly upon the physical character of the country. The land embraces an area of 42,000 square miles, one third of this being taken up by rivers and lakes. Twenty-one thous- and square miles are occu- pied by rough, broken, and swampy ground, unfit for cultivation, while the re- maining 7,000 square miles are considered fit for agri- cultural operations. While in making this estimate we are aware that a large sec- tion of the island is yet to be explored, yet it can be assumed as approximately correct, because the productive lands are all in the river and lake valleys, all of which have been more or less explored, and it is in these dis- tricts that the largest areas of lumber are found. The highlands are generally destitute of soil, or possess soil of such character that the vege- tation consists chiefly of moss or stunted growths of spruce and fir. The timber belt exists principally in the north- eastern part of the Island and along the Exploits River and its tributaries, the Gander River and Lake, the Gambo, the Humber River, and the various rivers flowing into St. Georges Bay and the Bay of Islandsand also the entire west coast. The largest spruce on the Island is at White __ Bay, where there is a large quantity of excel- _ lent growth. The northern peninsula opposite _ Labrador has not as yet been much explored, _ but it is thought to contain vast quantities _ of pulp wood. The southern and south-west coast are entirely destitute of forest growth of any size. The products of the forest are varied, the chief lumber being spruce, white pine, yellow pine, red pine, fir, juniper, birch, witch hazel, aspin, and white maple. The spruce is an invaluable wood for rough work and of admir- able strength, although immense areas of it are exceedingly small and suitable only for pulp wood and railway sleepers. Many reasons are given to account for the diminutive 2 PAS me task g THE CANADA LUMBERMAN end and screwed into the 6-inch pipe. The water tubes or quills were made short enough to lie below the water line when in position in the smok-box of the boiler, as shown in Fig. 2. The quills were put in only on top side, as shown, so that any sediment which might be in the water would not lodge in and scale them and cause them to burn out. A short time ago I saw this same heater taken out of the boiler for inspection and the quills were not scaled at all. It had been in continued use for three years. The position of the heater is such that it absorbs a great deal of heat and the feed water is fed through it as it goes to the boiler. Of course this device could hardly be used in To Boiler 6 From Injectorg Power, NE.” FIG. 2. a boiler where the flues must be scraped from the smok-box end, as it stands directly in front of the flues. r The water connections between the boiler and heater should be large and ample; it is obvious that if they scaled and plugged up, there might be an over-pressure on the heater that would burst it. The lower connection, which is the delivery from the pump or injector, is extended in about half way, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig.1, so as to insure cir- culation. There was no check valve, nor anything of the kind between the heater and the boiler, so that there was always plenty of water in the heater. The check and stop valve were on the delivery to the heater.—J. M. Little, in Power. PERSONAL. Mr. Samuel S. Johnson, a millionaire lumberman of Minneapolis, died at Berkeley, Cal., on August 29th, Mr. Johnson was born in Canada in 1857. The death took place last month of Mr. P.

Moor, who has been superintendent of the sash and door factory of the Rat Portage Lumber Company at Winnipeg, has tendered his resignation. Mr. Edwin Marshall, timber merchant, Nottingham, -England, has been in Canada combining business with pleasure. Mr. Marshall buys considerable Canadian birch. Mr. John Gray, of Coldwater, Ont., has tendered his resignation as bush manager for the Imperial Paper Company, Sturgeon Falls, Ont., and has been suc- ceeded by Mr. Alexander Hamilton, of Warren. Mr. T. Gibson is now on the road for the Rat Por- tage Lumber Company and will travel Manitoba and the Territories in the interest of their Vancouver mills. He will sell the product of these mills exclusively. Mr. J. B. McWilliams, of Peterboro, Ont., for 33 years employed in the Ontario Crown Lands Depart- ment, has tendered his resignation. Mr. McWilliams has of late been inspector of Crown timber agencies. Mr. R. H. Campbell, Ottawa, Secretary of the Canadian} Forestry Association, was in Toronto last month making arrangements for the Dominion forestry convention to be held in Ottawa in January next. Mr. Ira B. Myers, of St. John, N.B., has resigned from his position as representative of the United States Government at St. John after eight years’ ser- vice. Mr. Myers was very popular among his busi- ness acquaintances. Mr. William P. Fowle, superintendent of the Bel- lingham Bay Improvement Company’s mill at Belling- ham Bay, Wash., has resigned and has accepted a similar position with the Fraser River Saw Mills Com- pany, of New Westminster, B.C. Colonel Williamson and Mr. Marcus Crombie, who comprise the firm of Williamson & Crombie, Kings- bury, Que., recently visited British Columbia. Their trip to the Coast was in the nature of a pleasant jaunt and to see the vast timber resources of the West. Mr. John Hendry, president of the British Columbia Mills, Timber & Trading Company, Vancouver, B,C., returned about the middle of September from his Euro- pean trip. Mr. Hendry has not yet entirely recovered from his recent accident, but is gradually improving. ’ Mr. Arthur E. Millington has resigned his position as superintendent of the Lake Superior Corporation's pulp mill at Sault Ste Marie, Ont., and has been appointed - general manager of the Spanish River Pulp & Paper Company, Webbwood, Ont. He has been succeeded by his brother, Mr. George Millington. Mr. James T. Wheeler, a well-known citizen of Fredericton, N.B., died last month. of Kingsclear and in his capacity of lumber surveyor was well known along the St. John river. For some years he had been in the employ of Donald Fraser & Sons. He was sixty-seven years of age. Messrs. Marcus Robinson and W. Forrest, two prominent timber merchants of Edinburgh, Scotland, have been visiting in Canada. Speaking, in Vancou- ver, of the British Columbia timber, Mr. Robinson stat- ed that he expected it would be more largely used in shipbuilding in Great Britain in the near future. Mr. S. J. Sutherland, who for many years has been president of the Sutherland-Innes Company, manufac- turers of cooperage stock, Chatham, Ont., and New Orleans, and who has lived at the latter place, has re- tired from the active management of the concern and accompanied by his family will spend some time in Europe. A telegram received at Fredericton, N.B., on Sep- tember 20th, announced the death of Mr. William Sewell, a well-known lumberman of Lincoln, N.B.,; whichoccurred at St. Valliers, Que., from heart trouble. Mr. Sewell, who was 68 years of age, had spent most of his life in lumber operations. For a number of years he was engaged with the Cushing-Company, and later with R, A. Estey. During the summer he worked as foreman for Glasier & Sons, and had accepted a Similar position for the coming winter with Jchn A. Morrison. There passed away at Peterboro, Ont., on Septem- ber 7th, a pioneer lumberman, in the person of Mr. William Snyder, aged ninety years. Deceased was born at Dickenson’s Landing, near Cornwall, Ont., and engaged in business first at Montreal and later at Peterboro. He eventually embarked in the lumber business and in 1855 built and operated the saw mill which stood where the present waterworks pumping station at Peterboro is situated. Some years after he bought the mill at Auburn. His last operations were at Atherley, near Orillia, where he had a saw mill for some years, retired at Peterboro. He was a native.

Time was when human energy measured the MISSISSIPPI : limit of production and the amount produced depended solely on the number of workers, but with man’s ever present appetite for ‘‘more”, he soon discovered that the quickest way to get the start of the other fellow was through his brains, by devising machines that would do more work than a man could, and ever since he’s been thinking up new methods or schem- ing to improve the old ones until this insatiable thirst for evolved the greater results has MoNTANA: THE ‘“‘McGiFFERT’ MACHINE THAT LOADED 215,000 FEET OF LoGs IN ErGHT Hours.

As in all productions where large bulk is a necessary | feature, the item of trans- abi i portation demands first vs oe : consideration, and especi- ally has this been true in the logging industry.

The uncertainties, too, of the drive, the loss of stranded logs, and the possibility of fire and worms when hung over for a season from lack of water, are thereby eliminated. Thus the first real innovation in the woods had its be- ginning. As one improvement oft begets another, so improved ways of transporting logs soon de- manded modern ways of handling them. With the period of operation doubled and transporta- MICHIGAN : ” Nova Scotia: THE ‘‘ MCGIFFERT LoaDING LARGE Locs AT BRIDGEWATER.

Increased speed and decreased cost in load- ing were of course the main object, yet the question of bringing logs up to the track for less money, the matter of wear and tear, reduced delay to rolling stock, and last but not least, greater independence of the swith engine at all times, were features also considered and embodied in this ‘‘ wizard of the woods”. Constructed entirely of steel, powerful and rapid in its work, yet easy and economical to operate, the McGiffert log loader to-day repre- sents the acme of ingenuity and skill, and is one of the most potent factors in the solution of modern railway logging. Self-propelling, this labor saving machine is at once loader, locomotive and skidder com- bined, and can readily move itself or its cars wherever and whenever desired, greatly reduc- A DECKER LOADER§PUTTING ON THE LAsT LOG IN A .

This is a feature which enables one body to pass another on one and the same track. W. VirGcinta: THe DECKER LOG LOADER, A SELF PROPELLING STEAM LOADER DESIGNED FOR SPECIAL CONDITIONS. The McGiffert loader is adaptable to all con- ditions whether it be on standard or narrow gauge track, and loads advantageously whether the logs are above or be- low the rail, on high ground or from a swamp, close to or at a distance, and because of its strength and wide base is peculiarly fitted for skidding up to a dis- tance of six to eight hundred feet each side of the track. In support of this claim a Pennsylvania operator says he ‘‘skidded a log scaling 2000 feet a distance of five hun- dred feet it in fifteen minutes, an undertaking that over rough ground and loaded under existing conditions would have re- quired a team and five men five or six hours.” In short, it fits into almost any phase of log handling and at a great saving over other methods. As to the hoisting power and durability of this ‘‘giant ofthe woods,” an idea may be formed from the testimony of a New Mexico owner who claims that his machine has lifted logs weighing 18,000 to 20,000 pounds, and a Texas lumberman says they ‘‘operated the loader from January 2 to June 21 without losing Br a single day.” This is but further evidence of its strength and freedom from repairs. The capacity of the McGiffert, like other machines, depends largely on the conditions attending, the size of logs to be loaded, distance from the track and manner in which they lie, and the experience of the operator and crew. An Arkansas firm reports that with a green crew, 114,000 feet were loaded the second day. Its speed ranges trom this quantity up to 215,- ooo feet, a recent eight hours work accomplish- ed in Montana. In fact, ‘‘10 cars per hour” comes from West Virginia and as high as 103,- ooo in three hours was claimed by a McGiffert owner in Mississippi. The highest of these records were, of course, attained under very favorable circumstances, but they only go to show the almost unbelievable possibilities of this machine. Even the very lowest average is more than double what can be performed by the old horse and man method. That the saving feature of this device may be the better appreciated, one party writes that ‘‘it saves eight men and two teams in daily loading,” while another says, ‘‘though inexperienced, have no difficulty in doing the work of three crews of team loaders, and will do even better.”’ And still another claims, ‘‘it reduced our loading expenses fifteen dollars per day, besides considerably more on .switch- ing.” In an actual test of two operations made by a party in West Virginia tor the ex- press purpose of determining the difference in cost when skidding and loading with Mc- Giffert loader at one place, and teams at the other under exactly the same conditions, the MissIssIPPI : saving amounted to $1.07 per thousand in favor of the machine. Surely these results speak volumes in favor of this labor saver. The Acme skidder, a self-propelling, heavy and powerful machine, capable of effectively working a distance of 1,000 feet or more from the track, has fully proven its usefulness in many of our large undertakings. It is built entirely of steel and iron and equipped with two distinct double engines of four drums each. Two of the drums on each engine are for skidding lines, and two for side guy lines. Four lines for skidding are provided by this arrangement, which can be operated at the same time without interference one with an- other, and independent of each other. It thus covers a swath two thousand feet or more in width. The arrangement for guying and the self-propelling feature render it capable of moving from one point to another along the track with rapidity and ease. That every phase of log handling may be met as circumstances demand, other devices are used, among which is the ‘‘Rapid” style of loader, a light, portable log loader, especi- ally desirable for the smaller operations. This loader is mounted on a strongly braced frame of steel construction and designed to use on flat or logging cars by sliding over the top from one to another, as the loading progresses. The sliding operation is accomplished with a LoapinG A Train LoAD OF Heavy Locs wiTH A ‘‘RaPID.’ ~_As each load i is aces the loader is slid back on to the next car (under its own power.) Wei Obese Ohi cable on one of the engine drums éxpressly ar- ranged for the purpose. It can also be arran- ged for use on a logging sleigh for loading logs on sleighs at any point in the woods when cars are not used. It is powerful, and as the name implies, Rapid, very efficient in loading or skidding and a most satisfactory machine where conditions do not require the heavier and self-propelling machines. The Clyde Iron Works, of Duluth, Minn., who manufacture these machines, make a spec- ialty of log handling tools and machinery, and design particular equipment to suit any operation where something out of the ordinary line is required. THE “‘RaApPID’ LOADER FROM LOGGING SLEIGH. WISCONSIN : 22 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN _ FOURTEENTH SN ae CONVENTION OF Upwards of one thousand Hoo-Hoo were present at the fourteenth annual convention at Portland, Oregon, on September goth. The Portland members ‘‘made good” and gave the visitors a splendidtime. Snark of the Universe, C. D. Rourke, of Urbana, IIl., presided at the business sessions. The delegates were wel- comed by the Mayor, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and others. The annual address of the Snark spoke of the great pros- perity of the Order, the concatenations of which had extended over the entire country from the Dominion of Canada to the Florida Straits. The recommendations of the Snark were that the actual expenses of the members of the Supreme Nine should be paid from the funds of the order; that the Scrivenoter’s salary be in- creased to $1,999.99; that the annual meeting be held in some other month than September; and that the distress fund be increased. The Scrivenoter’s report showed a balance on hand of $7,780.18, the largest ever reported. One hundred and twenty-five concatenations were held during the year. For number of concatenations held and men initiated, this breaks all previous records, surpassing what was regarded as probably the high water mark of last year. A comparative statement of con- catenations held and men initiated from the beginning is as follows: PSO2 ox lergro tier sven 15 concatenations 166 men.

In jurisdiction No. 8, under Arcanoper W.C. Laidlaw, Toronto, five concatenations were held and 95 candidates initiated. It was decided to increase the Scrivenoter’s salary to $1,999.99 and to hold the next annu- al convention at Oklahoma City. On _ the recommendation of J. H. Baird, it was resolv- ed to discontinue publishing the Hoo-Hoo handbook and as a substitute to print the names in a special edition of the Bulletin each year.

Investors for the last few years have been turning their eyes westwards inspecting our to-day to get a car of spruce lumber unless orders have been previously placed ahead. — ‘‘A lumberman from the Maritime,Provinces | remarked the other day that if they had only invested in the swamp lands before the pulp in- dustry started, a good turnover would have been the result, but the timber lands have practically all been bought up there to such an © extent that the present investor, he says, has a very small margin to work on, and while the North-west is, relatively speaking much in the same position as they were years ago (so far as investors are concerned in this particular line), we have this distinct difference in our favor that owing to the immense tide of immigration pouring in, the advent of the ‘‘Iron House’ continually stretching out feeders to the steadily building main line over the boundless prairie of the west, which will eventually reach Loc Drive ON THE LITTLE SwAN RIVER, NORTH SASKATCHEWAN TERRITORY. lands and as a result millions of acres have been disposed of and settled, but it is surpris- ing how little is known about the timber resources. This particular industry, while limited to .few customers as compared with land sales, is essentially a prime factor in the welfare of a country. In conversation with Mr. D. B. Mc- Donell, of Winnipeg, who makes timber limits a specialty, he said :—‘‘It would appear that this branch of industry, in the eyes of the Old World, is still in its infancy, and so it is in a manner, but the fact must not be lost sight of that the trees have blossomed and considerable ripe fruit picked in the way of the manu- factured article, as borne out by the fact that fifty million feet was sold in the Northwest in 1897, twelve hundred million feet was sold during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, 332 million of which was consumed in Manitoba, and strange as it may appear, while there are a number of mills in operation, it is impossible from ocean to ocean, the investors of to-day, says Mr. McDonell, have not only the same opening missed in the past, but the immediate prospects of realizing on their venture. There are numerous propositions, both for lumber or pulp wood, or both combined.” Mr. McDonell was asked as to the amount of timber available, and after a thorough in- vestigation with careful calculation, including many trips west to British Columbia and north into Saskatchewan and Manitoba, he stated :— ; ‘‘Approximately, at the time of writing and tributary to railway facilities, two billion two hundred and sixty-five million feet are avail- able, which to manufacture would cost roughly speaking $8 per M. (some blocks less) and the commercial value of which would be from $15 to $22 per M. Compare these margins with that of other countries, and the practical man will see that his investment is all that can be desired.” OCTOBER,.1905 Bet os “STERLING” OILS «FOR SAW MILLS WE SOLICIT ORDERS TRADE LARGE AND SATISFACTORY OUR AGENTS WILL CALL WITH ‘‘STERLING’’ CYLINDER, ENGINE, DYNAMO, MACHINE AND SPECIALTY OILS Greases, Packing, Waste, ‘‘ Copperine,” Ready Mixed Paints, Varnish, Red and Black Roof Puint ; Smoke Stack Black for Boiler - Fronts and Sawmill Refuse Burners, White Lead, Dry Colors, Etc.

The story of why the Chinese capitalists chose Canadian manufactured machinery in prefer- ence to all others will probably prove interest- ing to the readers of the Canapa LUMBERMAN, and also serve to illustrate the patience and foresight of the Chinaman. _ As far back as 1891, representatives of the _ Chinese lumber firm have been located in dif- _ ferent saw mills on the Pacific Coast. These and carefully preserved until such time as the Chinamen were ready to buy. After due consideration the decision of the heads of the Oriental firm was that a Cana-' dian firm—the Wm.

The opinion of the Chinese, based ’ on the.reports obtained from their delegates in the Western saw mills,to use their own words, was that the Wm.

C. this has also come to light. When H.R.H. the Prince of Wales was in Vancouver, in 1901, he visited the Hastings saw mill. A log 110 feet long and 54 inches in diameter was cut in the presence of the Duke, who was very deeply impressed with what he saw and appa- rently more particularly with the machines that did the work, for he enquired where they were manufactured. Being advised that the Peterboro company were the makers, he im- mediately made a note of it. On returning to London the Duke is known to have talked about his visit to the Hastings mill, and it is quite evident that his notes as to where the machinery was made were put to good use, for from London itself have come agents of the Chinese lumber firm to inspect the Canadian machinery. Their information was to supple- ment the reports of those Celestials employed in the mills. Mr. Robert Hamilton, who was seen by these agents, merely gave them the names of the various mills in the province using his firm’s machinery. Their report was also most favor- able. The saw mill equipment just shipped to the Wan Yip Company consisted of a single cir- cular saw mill witha cutting capacity of 755- ooo feet per ten hours. The mill building has been so laid out that it can be turned into a double mill at any time desired. machinery includes a saw husk frame, ‘‘ Paci- fic Coast” carriage and friction feed works, “* Pacific Coast’ pattern ; a double geared log jack, ‘‘ Pacific Coast” pattern; a ‘ Paci- fic Coast” gang edger ; ‘‘ Pacific Coast ” cut- off saw and ‘‘ Pacific Coast ” turners. Power is supplied by a heavy Corliss frame slide valve engine, 600 h.p., with heater, boiler feed and pump. Owing to the difficulties of transportation the Hamilton Company arranged with a Hong Kong firm to supply the boilers, of which there will be four of 150h. p. each, 72” inches diameter and 18 feet long, with a working pressure of 125 lbs. The planing mill equipment consists of one large revolving bed surface planer 24 x 10, one heavy ‘‘Pacific Coast” moulding machine, a 36 inch band saw, a ‘‘Pacific Coast’ machine and a complete outfit for making sash, doors and blinds. All the shafting, pulleys, bearings, belting, and in fact everything nec- essary, was supplied by the Wm. Hamilton Company. Next year they intend putting in a double cutting steam tension band mill and a 53 inch Hamilton oscillating gang saw, etc. It is reported that Mr. W. P.

Yet here was such a site, the like of which is against the road-bed of the great transconti- nental railway, the Canadian Pacific. The unexpected has happened, and the past few months have seen a wondrous change at Three Valley. borhood of the lake was known only to the rarely found, located almost Two years ago the neigh- trapper, and of the scores of thousands who yearly passed it in the railway trains and the beauty of the scenery, none dreamed that on the further shore of the lake existed one of the finest lumbering forests in British Columbia. It remained for Mr. A. McRae, of Revelstoke, to grasp the opportu- adm ‘red nity that so many now learn to their regret they missed, though lying at their very doors. McRae heard of the magnificent of Three Valley, and determined to investigate Although an old hand in the mountains he was amazed at the wealth of resources for himself. timber that he saw. It was on Dominion lands, and he arranged to take it up with a view of interesting capital in its development. As a result the capitalists now comprising the Eagle River Lumber Company and the Mundy Lumber Company investigated the proposition. They were expert lumbermen with many years of successful experience in the Eastern States. They were delighted with the result of their in- vestigation and took up the timber berths they They then proceeded to organize the Eagle River Lumber now hold, aggregating 160 miles.

The Eagle River Lumber Company is capi- talized at $1,000,000, and the investors consider the value of the timber in these limits worth all of 100 cents on the dollar on that capitalization. The Mundy Lumber Company is organized with a capital of $50,000, which will be in- The Mundy Lumber Company composed is as follows: S. A. Mundy, president; E. R. Schoonmaker, vice-president; F. P.

Last Fall, under the management of Mr. E, R. Schoonmaker, the vice-president of the Mundy Lumber Company, a logging camp was put in on Three Valley Creek, and steps taken to improve the creek for logging purposes. Later a contract was let to Mr. E. L. Kinman Dam ON THREE VALLEY CREEK, USED FOR COLLECTING LOGS AND RaIsING A HEAD OF WaTER TO CaRRY Locs DoWN CREEK. Mr. E. R.

He brought over his logging plant from Trout Lake, effected further improvements to the Creek for floating logs, and built two substan- tial splashing dams. He also turned in part of Frog Creek to Three Valley Creek to increase the volume of water for splashing purposes. The first dam is a mile up the creek, and the second is about a quarter of a mile further on. The creek has been cleared out and straight- ened, and a flume built at each dam with a Mr. S. A. Munpy, President of the Mundy,Lumber Company and Vice- President of the Eagle River Lumber Company. water-tight water gate fitted to the head of each flume. The upper dam is 335 feet across, and affords a storage space of three-quarters of a mile up the creek. The steam logging plant consists of two engines witn their equipment. One of these engines has two 10x12 cylinders at 160 lbs. pressure, running 360 revolutions per minute. It is fitted with a double hauling drum. This engine can handle logs for a radius of a mile around. These engines were built by the Washington Iron Works, of Seattle, and the Lumber Company. Mr. F.3P. ScHoonmaker, Secretary Eagle River Lumber Company and Mundy Lumber Company. facility with which they handle the heaviest logs over the roughest ground is amazing, the logs being delivered right into the splashing booms with no manual labor other than fixing haulage cables and clearing away obstructions in front of the logs. So heavy is the timber in which these log- ging engines are now operating that, to allow room for the logging plant to work, only half the timber can be felled and taken out at a time, and the fellers and the logging plant will have to be taken over the ground a second time in order to complete the logging of it. lee is foreman of the logging opera- tions. Clarence Brown- THE TOWNSITE. The inauguration of the Mundy Lumber Company’s enterprises has established a growing townsite at Three Valley. In addition to the Company’s offices and store, dwell- ings for the employees have been erected. The townsite occupies a beautiful situation at the west end of Three Valley Lake, where the Eagle river leaves the lake, and it will ere long grow into a point of considerable population and import- ance. The railway station is a third of a mile distant, and the railway authorities are being urged to move to the new townsite, where practi- cally all the traffic now is. This will probably be done. Opposite the townsite is a pretty little island called’ Pleasance Island in honor of Mrs. Mundy. A convenient dock for the accommodation of the , Company’s steam tug has been built on the lake shore alongside the company’s offices. A water supply has been put in. There is a daily mail service east and west, and a tele- phone has been installed which gives connec- tion with Griffin Lake, from which the Com- pany has the advantage of telegraphic communication with the outside world. A complete electric lighting system is being put in from the mill to light the townsite and docks, so that in a short time Three Valley has secured all the advantages of civilization. Mr. W. W. BELL, .Treasurer Eagle River Lumber Company and Mnndy Lumber Company, THE MILL. The ‘‘go” that has been put into the construc- tion of the mill is evident from the fact that on May st there was no machinery on the ground, while by August 1st the mill was ready for operation. The site chosen for the mill is on the south side of the lake at the west end, and no better site could be found for the economical operation of the lumber indus- try. A railway spur runs right into the mill from the Canadian Pacific Railway Company’s main line, and the mill is thus within three days’ freight haul from Vancouver on the west and Calgary on the east. The Mundy Lumber Company have here magnificent boom- ing facilities, their main boom in the lake being a mile long, while a mill has been built on a Mr. F. W. Davis, President Eagle River Lumber Company. cove of the lake which. affords a naturally shel- tered boom for holding the log supply for the mill available right at the foot of the log ladder. There is ample yard and dock accommoda- Docks will be built along the lake shore and lighted at night by electricity; while the yard will be in a safe position in case of fire, being cut off from the mill by a hill, which affords a natural buffet between the mill and the yard. the mill, from which isderived the water supply for the boilers; and by erecting a tank or dam tion. A mountain stream comes down to on the mountain side a first class high pressure Mr. Jonn McCrvum, Director Mundy Lumber ompany. ee ee 26 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN water service can be made available in case of fire. The mill has been erected with two main features in view—economy of production and safety from fire. Tne boiler house is 28 feet x 6o feet, built of solid brick and iron, making this one of the safest mill buildings in the province so far as precautions against fire are concerned. The burner has been located over a lofty ridge situated on the east side of the mill, and this ridge forms a perfect cut-off be- tween the mill and the burner, the refuse lumber being carried to the burner by means of a conveyor. The yard, loading and sorting platforms are located on the west side of the mill. The mill building proper is 152 feet in length by 44 feet in width. The motive power of the mill is supplied by three horizontal return tubular boilers, 72 inches diameter, 18 feet long, with 4-in. tubes. The smoke-stack is 60 inches in diameter, 90 feet in height, and is fitted with ladder and spark arrester. The main engine is a beautiful piece of machinery, of 250 horse power, and took first prize at the World’s Fair. The fly- wheel is 12 feet in diameter. This engine was built by the Buckeye Engine Company, of Salem, Ohio. This engine hasa novel feature in that the governor is on ‘the fly-wheel, which gives superior regulation of the speed of the engine. The engine is installed on a massive concrete foundation. There is also a con- denser, and a duplex steam force pump for feeding the boilers in case of necessity, or for fire purposes. felons The electric plant consists of a 450-light machine, supplied by the Milwaukee Electric Company. This dynamo is driven by a sep- arate engine of 100-h.p. capacity. Consistent with the company’s policy of pro- * viding every possible precaution against fire, a brick oil house has been built for the storage of all inflammable oils. THE MILL PLANT is up-to-date in every particular. The logs are raised from the boom by the travelling log elevator, from which they are kicked on to the log deck by a steam kicker operated by the scaler with his foot. A steam loader places the log on to the carriage, and a steam nigger turns the log when necessary. The carriage is steel, with three log seats and knees open- ings 72 ins. from the saw line. The carriage is fitted with patent hammer dogs, and there are pneumatic cushions for bumpers at each end of the carriage run. The set for the logs is worked with steam, and the feed is a gun- shot feed 42 feet long. The saw itself is what is known as a left- handed 14” Allis double cutting band, .with extended bed, and the saws travel at the rate of 8500 feet a minute. lumber is carried by live rolls, the larger timbers going right through the mill, while the smaller sizes are switched off to the edger.

It then passes to the planing mill and is worked into the various kinds and descriptions of the finished products of the forest. The trimmer is fitted with patent saws, which leave the edges perfectly smooth. The planing mill is 60 feet x 40 feet and the power is furnished by an independent engine of 100 h.p. The shavings and dust are drawn off by a cyclone fan and go to feed the fur- naces. The auxiliary plant of the planing mill consists of a steam saw setter, a resaw and rip-saw for mouldings, and automatic knife grinder. The band saws are filed in a se- parate room, where special machines for the different operations are fitted up. This machinery, too, is furnished with a separate engine. The capacity of the mill is 100,000 feet per day, running double shift. The plant was supplied by Waterous Engine Works Company, Limited, through their Vancouver agent, Mr. Hugh Gilmour. This firm has the reputation of turning out high grade saw-mill machinery. A shingle mill, 40 feet x 16 feet, is built on the lake side of the mill, and it is expected that the output will be in the neighborhood of 150,000 per day. Lockport and Perkins’ ‘ma- chines are being used, and the Company hope to demonstrate that shingles of the very high- est grade can be turned out on this class of machine. This addition to the sawmill will utilize a lot of timber that cannot be used in the sawmill, but in which there is a great deal of clear lumber suitable for making first-class shingles. Mouldings of all kinds will be turned out by the planing mill. The shingles and lumber will all be air-dried, but a small steam kiln will be put in for handling mouldings. There is a well equipped blacksmith shop at the mill. Altogether, the Mundy Lumber Com- pany bids fair to fulfil what it has started out to do, namely, to supply the trade with rough and dressed white pine and red cedar for every purpose. GENERAL. The Mundy Lumber Company is already, directly and indirectly, one of the largest em- ployers of labor in the district. At the mill there are over 75 men on the payroll, and an equal force is at work in the logging camps. The Company’s store and office building is 100 feet by 20 feet. The store is subdivided into grocery, dry goods and meat depart- ments, in all of which large stocks are carried. The store is in charge of Mr. James Lane, who is also the Postmaster of Three Valley. On the upper floor of the building are the Company’s offices and the living rooms of the manager and his staff. The offices are well furnished and equipped for work. A large boarding house has been built, covering a ground space of 70 feet by 4o feet. It is pret- tily situated on the lake shore, ‘and is quite pretty architecturally. Stores are delivered might at the door by the Company’ s tug. The main dining’ room is 16 by 38, while a smaller one two feet narrower allows of the largest crew finding accommodation. There is a J Fat ,, + ute [Pr Pee 5 BY ten a ee 4 ‘ TA. a2 he, St ew er ra > pore ‘¢ ety : ‘ th bys IG ah ee verandah all round the building.

It — has all the advantages of natural conditions — and transportation that a mill could secure, and, with its up-to-date plant and practical — management, is destined to take a Ml prominent place in the great industrial enter- prises of the West. We wish the Company all success in its operations. . _ SPRAGUE—McLEOD NUPTIALS. _ Winnipeg society was in a flutter over the wedding of HaroldChampion Hawkins Sprague, only son of Mr. D.E. Sprague, the well known lumberman and mill owner. Harold Sprague is not only a full fledged lumberman, but is also one of the prominent local Hoo-Hoo. Society turned out en masse and donned its — finest clothes for the occasion, so that the scene 4 in the church and afterwards at the house was a most brilliant one. The bride, Miss Kathleen Louise McLeod, eldest daughter of Mr. and ~ Mrs. W. W. McLeod, is one ofthe most popu- lar girls in Winnipeg society. Holy Trinity church, the scene of the happy event, was beautifully decorated, the altar be- ing banked with white asters, sweet peas and — daisies, and the chancel railing almost hidden with ferns and daisies, with ropes of smilax, studded with sweet peas, festooned overhead. The Ven. Archdeacon Fortin officiated and the beautiful choral service was used, the choir being in attendance. Amidst showers of good wishes fe left on the 5.20 train for the south, to spend a few days in Chicago before going to exe York and other eastern points. The groom’s gift to the bride was a Feciy ring, set with Burmese ruby and two diamonds; to the bridesmaids handsome art brooches, set with rubies and boroque pearls; to the § grooms- man gold cuff links, and to the veers pearl scarf pins. / vs el oo sad » ’ . 4 Mr. Tomlinson, the sales manager of the Red Deer Lumber Company, has returned from an extended trip to Red Deer Lake and other North-West points.

Smith, George Gordon, John Barry, Thos. F. Strong, Robert Booth, and H. J. Bartlett. The company has purchasedabout 120,000,000 feet of pine which will be manufactured into lumber at Cache Bay and Callender. The pine comes from the famous Mackie tract, for which the Late Thos. Mackie, M. P., of Pembroke, paid so large a figure atthe last timber sale, It is expected to take seven years to cut this timber, but with their other operations the Company intend to cut between thirty and forty million feet a year. They already have a mill at Cache Bay, and another at Callender, and it is likely that athird mill will beerectedat the latter places during the coming winter.

In placing the Hanchett automatic band saw sharp- ener upon the market, the manufacturers are giving to users of saw mill machinery a very pronounced im- provement in this class of saw sharpening machines. It is the product of twenty years practical experience in saw mills and in the construction of machinery for all classes of saw sharpening. Its ability to do supe- rior work has been amply demonstrated in some of the best band mills in the United States. The machine is THe HancHetrt AuTomMATiIC BAND SAW SHARPENER. compact, solid and strong. The mechanism and mater- ial is of the very best, while the finish placed upon these machines is claimed to be far above anything ever placed upon saw sharpening machinery. The mechanism for the most part is altogether dif- ferent from any other machine designed for sharpening saws. The machine runs with scarcely any noise or vibration. It is of vital importance that a saw sharpener in motion should be free from vibration. Otherwise the result is an unevenly ground tooth, thus impairing the quality and quantity of work obtainable from any saw. This is obtainable by two chief modes of construction, both of which will strike the eye of the observer as soon as he sees the machine. Examine the illustration and you will observe that the emery wheel is driv- en direct from the countershaft by an endless rawhide rope, over two step grooved sheaves. This arrange- ment does away with all pulleys and brackets, effectu- ally preventing vibration. The feed is run by a fric- tion and disk and is consequently noiseless. The manufacturers have a patent friction which is so adhe- sive that the whole machine may be stopped before it will slip. : A card to the manufacturers, The Hanchett Swage Works, Big Rapids, Mich., will secure full information on this superior machine. The JOHN MGDOUGALL GALEDONIAN IRON WORKS A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS. It is now just six months since the Manitoba Gypsum Company put their first advertisement in the CANADA LUMBERMAN and only four months since they brought down their first cargo of hard wall plaster. In the meantime they have had tq face all kinds of com- » petition. Their powerful rivals from the United States, backed up by large capital and with the prestige of an old established business, met them with derision as a small local concern that would soon be snuffed out for want of capital and experience. The reputation of goods made by a defunct company, which were not as good as they might have been, handicapped them probably more than the American competition. But in spite of all, quality tells in the long run; and to-day the .Manitoba Gypsum Company has the satis- faction of seeing great rents made inthe wall of its opposition and the prospect of, an early control of the plaster business of Western Canada. The testimonials received by the Company from all quirters, especially from many who were at first utter- ly opposed to their goods, is an eloquent argument in favor of their products; the many fine business blocks and handsome residences finished with their hard wall or wood fibre plaster will long be silent evidence of the permanency of their material. We understand that the company contemplate an early addition to their plant and propose further enlarg- ing the line of their products by the manufacture of Plaster Slab, the latest form of lath used in modern building. As they now have a yearly capacity of twenty thousand tons, it will be seen how rapidly this business is developing. NEW DOCK AT MANCHESTER, ENG.

This steamer is from Rafso in the Baltic, with 620 standards on account of H. Newsom, Sons & Com- pany, Ltd., the agents for the steamer being Messrs. Herbert Watson & Company. The steamer ‘‘Winnie” ran the ‘‘Egho'm” very closely as the pioneer steamer to enter the new dock, She arrived with a large cargo of spruce from Mira- michi, on account of the well known firm of Messrs. Harrison, Robinson & Company, who have been con- sistent supporters of the canal from the outset, and head the list of timber importers. The timber season is now in full swing, and every- thing points to Manchester beating her previous timber record, viz., 353,280 tons imported last year. In fact, up to the present time, the import of timber to Man- chester exceeds by about 20,000 tons the quantity ar- rived during the same period last year.

OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA, Ottawa, 21sT August, 1905. To THE PUBLIC OF THE DoMINION OF CANADA: Canada possesses one of the largest areas of virgin forest of any country in the world and is ranked by European experts first, or among the first of the important sources of the world’s timber supply for the future. The preservation of the streams in perennia| and constant ffow, which is largely controlled by the forests on the watersheds, will have an _ important influence on the industrial and agri- cultural development of the Dominion. The expansion of our electrical and mechanical in- dustries will be regulated to a great extent by the greatest source of power in all countries, and some of our western water, which forms districts are dependent on irrigation to ensure the success of agricultural operations. In all the older provinces the clearing of the soil has been carried to such an extent that the ill effects on the water supply and on agrculuture are clearly marked, while on the western prairies the need of sheltering trees for houses and fields is seriously felt by the settlers. The early construction of the Transcontinental Railway, and of other railways, through our northern’ forested districts and the consequent opening of those districts to general traffic, will increase the danger from fire, which has already been a most active agent of destruction. These conditions are not new; they have from time to time received public attention, and during the Session just closed Parliament authorized the summoning of a convention for the more thorough discussion of the same. I therefore hereby call a public convention to meet in the City of Ottawa on the roth, 11th 12th of January, 1906, under the auspices of the Canadian Forestry Association, and to this con- vention are specially invited : Members of the Senate and House of Com- mons. Lieutenant-Governors of the Provinces. Members of Legislative Councils and Legisla- tive Assemblies of the Provinces. ‘ Dominion and Provincial Forest Officials. Members of the Canadain Forestry Associa- tion. Representatives of Lumbermen’s Associa- tions. Representatives of Boards of Trade. Representatives of Universities. Representatives of Agricultural Colleges. Representatives of Farmers’ Institutes. Representatives of Railway Companies. Representatives of the Canadian Mining In. stitute. Representatives of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers. Representatives of Associations of Land Sur- veyors. Representatives of Fish and Game Associa- tions, and all others who take an interest in Forestry. An invitation is also extended to the Bureau of Forestry of the United States, the American Forestry Association and the State Forestry Bureaus and Associations to send represen- tatives to this Convention. WILFRID LAURIER. CANADIAN FORESTRY CONVENTION. In accordance with the official summons issued by the Right Honourable the Premier of the Dominion, arrangements have been made for a Canadian Forestry Convention to be held - in Ottawa on the roth, 11th and 12th of January next, to consider the forests of the Dominion and their national importance. This Convention is held under the auspices of the Canadian Forestry Association and the organization and carrying out’ of the project has been placed in the hands of the Association. The subjects to be considered at the Conven- tion will be discussed under the following divisions:— 1. The Nation and the Forest. 2. Forestry in Relation to Agriculture and Irrigation. 3. The Forest and the Lumber and Pulp Industries. 4. The Relation of our Forests to our other Industries: Railways; Water Powers; Mining; Building Trades; Wood Working Manufactures. 5. Scientific Forestry and Forestry Education. By the kindness of the Canadian Railway Companies a single fare rate over their roads on the certificate plan will probably be allowed delegates, regardless of the number in attend- ance.

Ina recent issue of the American Lumbermap is found the tabulated statement of the lumber receipts and shipments for Chicago during the first six months of 1905. The total receipts were 958,457,000 feet, all of which were brought in by rail excepting 132,454,- 000 feet by lake. The total shipments for the same period were 458,299,000 feet or less than one-half the receipts. This indicates a local consumption of more than 1,000,000,000 feet annually. The volume of business is greater than any six months since 19090 excepting in 1902, when the first half year’s receipts and shipments were in excess. The receipts of shingles in 1905 were 280,600,000, with shipments of 219,087,000. This shows a local consumption of only 123,000,000 a year. It is quite evident from these figures that shingle makers must look -for their customers outside of large cities. es 20a Se a SETTLERS LOW RATE WEST.

' The untimely death of Mr. Alfred M. Regan, which occurred on August zoth just after our September number had gone to press, was a great shock to his many friends in Toronto and elsewhere. Although not in the best of health, he was still giving attention to his business duties. Leaving his office in the McKinnon Building on Melinda street about two o'clock in the afternoon, he had gone buta few yards when he fell on the street and expired within a few minutes. For the last ten years deceased had been a member of the wholesale lumber firm of Regan & Nickels, being formerly connected with the R. S. Williams Piano Com- pany. Though quiet and unassuming, he had many warm friends. He leavesa wife, but no family. It is understood that the business will be continued by Mr. Nickels as heretofore. TRADE NOTES.

Wa 1 Single Circular Mill wath Taverred i Top S Si Haneide: Allis-Chalmers-Bullock, Shingle Saw Grinder OR keeping down the thickness of shingle saws and k thereby saving timber, we are now putting on the market a grinding machine. Several of these machines have been running in different mills for some months. It will at once be seen that we have made a radical change from anything at present on the market for this purpose. The saws are ground much quicker with the grindstone than with the emery wheel. It is also found that the grindstone does not roll the saws out of shape as the emery wheels do. The cut. shows the machine so clearly that very little, if any, explana- tion is necessary. The shaft on which the saw is fastened is driven direct with the belt; the grindstone being driven with a bevel gear and pinion. The grindstone is made to move back and forth by the cam. The grindstone shaft is not at right angles to the saw shaft, but at an angle equal to the taper on the saw. This angle can be made greater or less by turning the eccentric sleeve in which one end of the shaft runs. The position of the feeding cam can be adjusted in or out by slacking up the bolts holding it and pushing it in the direction wanted. The machine is simplicity itself, and as will be seen, is built very strong. Vancouver, B. C.

Numser Ir. AND WOOD-WORKER TORONTO, MONTREAL — NOVEMBER, 1905 — WINNIPEG, VANCOUVER TERMS, $1.00 Per YEAR Single Copies, 10 Cents THE LATE MR. W. H. MURRAY. The death of Mr. W. H. Murray, head of the firm of Murray & Gregory, Limited, St. John, N. B., which occurred at his home in that city on October 2nd, was the cause of wide-spread and profound regret. His ill- ness extended over only a few days. Mr. Murray, who was in his seventy-third. year, was one of the oldest and most widely known lum- bermen in the province of New Brunswick, as well as being prom- inently connected with other branches of business. He had been engaged in the lumber business for upwards of fifty years and hada very wide circle of acquaintances. The late Mr. Murray was a native of Kingsclear, his father being the late Isaac Murray. He was edu- cated at the public schools and at the University of New Brunswick, from which he graduated with a degree of B. A. in 1852. Soon after graduating he was appointed school inspector, but this occupa- tion was not to his liking and he abandoned it and engaged in the lumber business with his uncle, the late Thos. Murray, who for many years operated a large saw mill at Springhill. In 1878 he acquired an interest in the mill property at Marble Cove, just above the falls at St. John, including the mill and thirteen acres of land fronting on deep water. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1876 and rebuilt in the same year. A little later the mill was again burned and on the site erected the present modern and extensive saw mill establish- ment. Mr. Murray became sole proprietor in 1882. The greater portion of the output ‘of this mill was deals for the-Eng- lish market, although shipments were also made to the United States and South America. The business continued to expand, anda few years ago Mr. J. Fraser Gregory, who had long acted as secretary for Mr. Murray, was admitted to partnership, and afterwards the business was formed into a joint stock company imited. The capacity of the mill was slightly under ‘twenty million feet annually, but this did not represent the extent of the firm’s operations. +. oe ; ; Their yearly cut totalled 40,000,000 feet of Their timber holdings were very extensive, amounting to upwards of 800 square miles, situated on the Big Black, St. Francis and St. John rivers and Temiscouata Lake. pine, spruce and cedar logs. Tue Late Mr. W.. H. Murray, St. Joun, N. B. By Courtesy of the St. John Telegraph. In addition to his lumber interests, Mr. Murray was president of the James Pender Wire & Nail Company, of St. John N. B., and was interested in the St. John River Log Driving Company, the Fredericton Boom Company, the Cushing Sulphite Fibre Company, the Hartt Boot & Shoe Company, Limited, and the St. John Iron Works Company. Few men were more highly esteemed than Mr. Murray, who, as a great captain of in- dustry, came into contact with a large number of people. He was a man of broad mind and generous instincts, an employer who treated his men well, a giver to the poor in no unstint- ed measure, and one whose word was as good as his bond. In business circles he was very highly regarded. Shrewd, energetic, quick to act, with mature judgment and pluck, he faced difficult situations and overcame them when less courageous men would have faltered and perhaps failed. Mr. Murray’s estate is valued at upwards of $600,000. ENTERING THE SAW MILL FIELD. The latest aspirant for saw mill honors on the Pacific Coast is Mr. J. S. Emerson, of Vancouver, presi- dent of the B. C. Loggers, Associa- tion. Mr. Emerson’s mill is to be located at Greenway Sound, about 150 miles north of Vancouver, being the most northerly mill on the coast, and right in the heart of his timber limits. The daily capacity of the mill is to be about 50,000 feet, At the time of writing Mr. Emerson is negotiating for the purchase of the necessary saw mill machinery. He will put in a fully equipped and up- to-date plant and it is his intention to extend the capabilities of the mill as business demands it. Mr. Emerson’s object in locating his mill on the limits is that he may be enabled to secure a greater amount of lumber out of each tree cut. Many of the big trees, when cut down, split for a number of feet up, thereby necessitating a large amount of the very best part of the tree being cut off and left there. With the mill near by, the trees may be cut closer to the ground and all of the log utilized. Another feature in favor of Mr. Emerson’s plan is that he can bring down scows loaded with lumber much cheaper than logs can be brought down. Asked if it would be difficult to procure men to run the mill up there, Mr. Emerson said he did not anticipate any trouble in that direction. At present he has nearly 300 men up there logging. Charles Leon, age 54 years, was seriously injured at Fraser's mill, Deschenes, Que., by a load of lumber falling on him, THE CANADA LUMBERMAN a ee MEASURING THE HEIGHT OF TREES.’ There are several methods of determining the height of a standing tree. One of the simplest is to measure the shadow of the tree and the shadow of a straight pole of known length set perpendicular to the earth. Multi- ply the length of the shadow of the tree by the length of the pole and divide the product by the length of the shadow of the pole. The result will be the height of the tree. A méthod used when the sun is not shining is to settwo poles in a line with the tree. (See fig. 1.) From a point on one pole sight across Fic. 1.—MEASURING THE HEIGHT OF A TREE BY MEANS OF Two POLES. . the second pole to the base and to the top of the tree. Let an assistant note the points where the lines of vision cross the second pole and measure the distance between these points. Also measure the distances from the sighting point on the first pole to the base of the tree and to the lowest vision point on the second pole. Multiply the distance between the upper and lower vision points on the second pole by the longer of the other two measurements and divide by the shorter; the result will be the height of the tree.

This instrument, shown in fig. 3, consists of a skeleton rectangular metal frame having two crossbars at one side of its longitudinal center, the frame and bars being in one piece. A slide, reversible end for end and having beveled edges, works in undercut grooves formed in the inner edges of the crossbars. This slide is provided at its ends with thumb notches, and with transversely arranged index marks, de- signated I and II.~- A plumb line carrying a plummet is attached to the slide in the center of the index mark II. A retaining spring secured to the back of the frame and bearing against the inner face of the slide holds it in any position in which it may beset. The left-hand end bar of the frame is furnished with an eye- piece, and the right-hand end bar with an objective, these being made of metal and hing- ed so as to be folded down out of the way when the device is not in use. A long, narrow mirror, hinged to the frame at a point below the objective, is furnished to reflect a right- hand horizontal scale and a left-hand horizon- tal scale engraved upon the lower bar of the frame, and meeting at a zero point which is intersected by a line passing through the long- itudinal centre of the slide. The right-hand scale runs to 75 and the left-hand scale to 225, the latter scale extending upward on the left- hand end bar of the frame. The right-hand crossbar is provided with a vertical scale run- ning upward from zero to 100, and continued on the left-hand crossbar with a scale running upward to 175. These scales are divided in fifths and numbered. The lines forming the scales are equally separated from each other and represent units of distance under any sys- tem of measurement that may be adopted. The handle of the device is attached to the left- hand crossbar. To use the instrument, the observer measures the horizontal distance in feet, yards, or in any other desirable unit, from where he is to stand to the base of the tree. He then sets the slide by one or the other of its two index - NoveMBER, 1905, 2 mm marks, which is brought into line with the = graduation on the vertical scale corresponding — to the measurement just secured. If the dis- tance is less than 75, the slide should be set so that the upper end of the plumb line will take a position opposite the required number on the © portion of the vertical scale on the right-hand crossbar. If the distance is more than 75, the slide should be pulled out and reversed end for end and adjusted until the index mark at its” Fe then lower end is brought opposite the required — oa number on that portion of the vertical scale on 4 the left-hand crossbar. The observer then ; looks through the eyepiece and objective and | brings the hair of the latter into line with the top of the tree. The plumb line is allowed full = play and crosses the left-hand horizontal scale. : oe As soon as the plumb line is at rest the num-— 3 = ber which it crosses is read off in the mirror. — This number indicates the height of the tree | from -the level of the observer’s eye to its top. 4 He then sights through the instrument to the = base of the tree and reads the number crossed by the plumb line on the right-hand horizontal = scale. This number indicates the distance — J from the level of the observer’s eye to the base — of the tree, and is added to the number before — —# Fic. 3.—FAUSTMANN’S HEIGHT MEASURE. secured, which gives the total height of the tree. If the observer should be standing so” that the level of his eye is below the base of the tree, he should first determine the height from the level of his eye to the top of the tree, then the height from the level of his eye to the base of the tree, and subtract the last result from the first, which gives the true height of the tree. Cost about $10. (See fig. 4.)- A cheaper form of this instrument has a wooden frame and slide, and scales printed upon strips of paper and pasted upon the frame. CLINOMETER FOR MEASURING HEIGHTS. » This instrument, shown in Fig. 5, consists — of a square panel of wood recessed to receive a metal disk and a glass which protects it. The disk has a curved right-hand scale and a curved left-hand scale engraved upon it below its © ae center. These scales meet each other at a — zero point, and correspond to each other in- their graduations, which run outward in oppo- — site directions from the zero point to 100. The graduations of these scales represent per- centages of angles instead of degrees of an- gles, as do the graduations of most clinome- ters. These two scales are swept by a pendu- lum ball, the lower half of which is beveled and brought to an edge having a central index mark. The pendulum rod is formed at its up- per end: with an eye receiving a movable screw stud passing through the disk and panel and Rcreineure at its rear ag in a eles button. ae ~, . = ~ = NOVEMBER, 1905 ' A spring secured to the back of the panel en- gages with the button and draws the head of the screw against the eye of the rod, and so holds the pendulum against swinging, except when the button is pushed inward to take the tension of the spring off the pendulum, which is then free to swing by gravity when the in- strument is held in a vertical plane. The disk of the clinometer, shown in the figure, also Fic. 4.—MANNER OF USING FAUSTMANN’S HEIGHT MEASURE. has some directions engraved upon it. The instrument is only about 3 inches square and may be easily carried in the vest pocket. To use the instrument the observer sights along its upper edge to the top of the tree and releases the pendulum by pressing the push button. When the pendulum comes to rest over the right-hand scale, the pressure on the push button is removed, permitting the spring to act to hold the pendulum until the reading can be taken. The number now opposite the ‘index mark is the percentage of the angle formed by a line running from the observer’s eye to the top of the tree and a horizontal line running from him to its trunk. This percen- tage is the ratio between the height of the tree above the level of the observer’s eye and the horizontal distance from the observer to the tree. This value is multiplied by the horizon- tal distance from the observer to the tree. The result is the height of the tree above the level of the observer’s eye. The observer then sights the instrument to the base of the tree, operates it as before, takes the reading from the left-hand scale, multiplies the value thus secured by the horizontal distance from him to the tree, and adds this result to the result pre- viously obtained, and thus secures the total height of the tree. These computations may be greatly simplified by taking all observations at a distance of 100 feet or 100 yards from the tree. A more elaborate form of the instrument is furnished with a hinged cover to shut over the glass and with two sights located at the upper corners of the panel. COMBINED SURVEYORS’ HAND LEVEL AND CLINOMETER,. This instrument (shown in fig. 6) has a tele- scoping surveyors’ hand level of ordinary construction, except that its spirit tube is located above instead of in its main tube, which, however, contains the usual inclined steel mirror and sighting cross wire. Combined with the hand level is a clinomet- er comprising a plate screwed to one side of the main tube of the hand level and having engraved upon it a curved right-hand scale and a curved left-hand scale. oii 3 These scales rade Bent ea THE CANADA LUMBERMAN are struck from the same centre and meet at a zero point, from which they are graduated out- ward in degrees to 90. A measuring arm, having a spatulate lower end beveled to receive vernier graduations, sweeps these scales. This arm is carried by a short shaft journaled in the upper edge of the plate and concentric with the two curved scales. The outer end of the shaft is furnished with a knurled hand wheel, by which the clinometer is operated. The inner end of the shaft carries a frame supporting the tubular case containing the spirit tube of the hand level, the centre of the case being cut away to show the bubble in the tube. A jam nut for setting the instrument is applied to the extreme inner end of the shaft, and when turn- ed inward holds the same against turning. The measuring arm and trame are rigid with the shaft, so that when the same is turned in either direction they turn together and to the same extent, the same as if of one piece. The case stands at a right angle to the measuring arm, so that when the arm is placed at the zero point of the two scales the case will be exactly parallel with the longitudinal axis of the hand level. A slot formed in the top of the main tube is located in line below the exposed middle portion of the spirit tube and in line above the mirror, and permits the bubble to be reflected in the mirror, which is so narrow and placed so close to the off side of the main tube that it does not interfere with the line of vision through the same and a view of the cross wire. The hand level is often of use to lumbermen in laying out roads and trails and in locating dams. To use the instrument as a hand level it must first be set by swinging the case con- taining the spirit tube into line with the main , FIG. 5.—CLINOMETER FOR MEASURING HEIGHTS. tube. The observer then sights at an object through the tube, which he brings to a level by the bubble reflected in the mirror, and then notes whether or not the object is above or below the cross wire. If the object is in direct line with the cross wire it is on the same level with his eye; otherwise the object is above or below the level of his eye, as the case may be. The lumberman may also use the hand level in finding the height of a hill, or the height of any point on the slope of a hill, asis necessary in making topographical maps. To find the height of a hill, the observer begins at its base, and after leveling the instrument, sights in the desired direction, and notes the point ahead intersected by the cross wire; he then ad- vances to that point and repeats the operation, and so moves up the hill from point to point until the top is reached. As between each ob- servation he advances a height equal to the distance from the ground to his eye, the height of the hill will be the product of that distance by the number of observations taken. The instrument may also be used as a clino- meter to ascertain the slope of a hill. To do this the observer sights the instrument at an object on the slope which is the same height above the ground as his eye and located above or below where he stands, according as he is Fic. 6.—-COMBINED SURVEYOR’s Hanp LEVEL AND f CLINOMETER. sighting up or down the hill. He now uses the hand wheel to swing the tubular case until the bubble shows it is level. The measuring arm, which swings with the case, is at the same time swept over one or the other of the two scales, and indicates Evens it the slope of the hill in degrees. If the observer will provide himself with a table of natural tangents he may use the in- strument for measuring the height of trees. He sights the instrument at the top of a tree and turns the hand wheel until the bubble shows that the case is level, at which time the measuring arm, which swings with the case, indicates upon the right-hand scale in degrees the angle formed by a line running from the observer’s eye to the top of the tree anda horizontal line extending from his eye to the trunk of tne tree. He then consults his table of natural tangents, which gives him the value of the angle secured, expressed as its tangent or percentage. The tangent or percentage of this angle multiplied by the horizontal distance from the observer to the tree gives the height of the tree above the observer’s eye. He then sights to the base of the tree, and in the same manner ascertains the angle formed by a hori- zontal line running from ‘him to the tree anda line running from his eye to the base of the tree. He now consults his table again for the value of this angle expressed as its tangent or percentage and multiplies this value ‘by his horizontal distance from the tree, which gives the height of the tree from the ground to the level of | his eye. The figures thus secured are added together, giving the total height of the tree. Cost, $13. The scales of the instrument are sometimes graduated in tangents or percentages of angles instead of in degrees, in which case a table of tangents is not needed. A number of other height measures are used in Europe, but a full description of them is not given. The most important instruments are the Brandis height measure, the Weise height measure, the Christen height measure, the Klaussner height measure, and the Winkler height measure. Several instruments have been devised to measure the diameter of a tree at any desired height. They are of practical use when ex- tremely accurate measurements of standing trees are desired, but will probably not be ex- tensively used by timber cruisers. The names of these instruments are the Breymann dendro- meter, the Winkler dendrometer (combined with the Winkler height measure), and the Wimmenauer dendrometer. 16 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN \ SOOSSSOSSSOSOSOOOSGGS g JOTTINGS BY THE WAY © crsste aacnooodsnoueseoetoenas The logs which are now being brought to the saw mills bear testimony in a very striking manner to the decadence of the white pine timber supply.

The time will doubtless come when this timber will be recovered, indeed, many propositions have already been considered looking to that end. One of the drawbacks, however, is that log- ging operations are still being conducted on the river. To recover the logs would doubtless involve a very heavy expense, but the venture would seem to offer a reasonable opportunity for profit. % hk Mr. W.

By NOVEMBER, 1905 __ THE CANADA LUMBERMAN GORRESPONDENGE | LUMBER INSURANCE. HILLSDALE, ONT,, Oct. 11, 1905. Editor Canapa LUMBERMAN : Dear Sir :-—Replying to yours asking for our opinion on the high rates of insurance we have to pay and how itcan be reduced. Our opinion is that insurance companies have lost so much money oflate years that unless the company gets’a high rate they would go under. The point is how can the risk be made safer for the company which is carrying it. The answer would be to make the mill safer from fire. How can we do this? Mills usually take fire from some internal cause, either from a hot bearing or from the boiler house or a spark from the smoke-stack. We think a large percentage of mills take fire from the boiler furnace, the sawdust leaking out from the conveyors which feed the furnace with sawdust, and the conveyors being usually close to the stack or smoke box which conveys the smoke to the stack, thus making the dust ready to take fire. Under the ordinary way of building furnaces and feed_ ing the sawdust in, there is always an escape of sparks, The opening of the furnace doors will often cause sparks to come out of the feeders, and if not seen in time, set fire to the mill, and we know the result to our sorrow. A properly constructed furnace shou'd be as safe as a stove. The writer wasinalarge mill not long since, just after 6 p.m., and looking through the boiler house saw smoke coming out through the spouts which let the sawdust down from the conveyors. In looking around for the cause of the smoke, I noticed that the watch- man had opened the door at the end of the boiler where the tubes are cleaned, thus cutting all the draft off from the smoke-stack. The shutting off of the draft from the furnace in this way does not prevent the sawdust from burning in the furnace, and where would the sparks and smoke go but out of the furnace and on the dry dust around the spouts, and overhead. Many watchmen do this so as to make the fire hold out and thus keep the steam up without putting any fresh saw- dust in-the furnace. We think that the draft from the stack should never be entirely cut off from the furnace. There Should always be enough draft to take the smoke and sparks, and if there isa damper in the stack or smoke-box it should be opened enough to draw the smoke and sparks off. The watchman will say that the steam will rise and blow off and waste the water—well, put more water in and let the steam blow, rather than run the risk of fire. The furnace in our mill at Hillsdale was constructed so that the inspector of the company we insured in gave us 1% per cent. less than the usual tariff rate. Had it not been for the way the furnace was constructed, the inspector would not have insured it at all, on account of it being a shingle and lumber mill combined. We think the only solution is to make the risk right and safe, then the insurance companies would be safe and able to give a low rate. ; Yours truly, ‘Wm. Cooke & Sons. TIMBER SLIDE COMPANY’S ACT. TORONTO, Oct. 25th, 1905. Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN: Dear Sir :— Following my last letter I beg to suggest amendments to the Timber Slide Company's Act to be laid before the Minister of Lands and Mines, The late Hon. A. S. Hardy made a ruling on this Act which has resulted in much loss. He decided that the expense of management and the sinking fund must be spread over all sections, whether operated or not. Consequently the company could only collect a part of this expense and sinking fund from those sections which were used. The rest was charged to the unused sections, and as nobody paid it, it was never recovered. This distribution of the sinking fund over each section also gave much trouble and caused much loss. Each section originally cost a certain amount and the sinking fund to replace that sum had to be earned by that section. But if it was not used, there was no return, and consequently no sinking fund was provided and the company never got it back. To illustrate the hardship to the company of this method of dealing with expenses and sinking fund, take a company with 10 sections, costing $500 a section. Ifthe expenses of one year in operating the company were $50.00 — and the sinking fund, (spread over the number of years the company was to last, say lo years) was say $45.00, then each section would be charged $95 a year. If after five years only five sections were operated and produced a revenue, then for the last five years the remaining five sections would produce nothing and the company - would be out $475.00 each year. The difficulty is to provide for this amount, because the lumberman who used only the five sections would not expect to pay this loss. The fact is that the Act was originaally drawn when all the sections ofa stream were used during the life of the company and cannot produce a fair result when only part are operated. The theory of the Act is that the whole original expenditure and the repairs and the cost of manage- ment shall be repaid with interest when the company’s charter expires. The Act needs to be entirely re- modelled. The streams operated are longer and serve a greater area and as side streams are im- proved or limits are cleared up many sections become useless. The sections to be dealt with are 21, 4o and 43—sec- tion 21 provides for the annual statement of receipts and expenditures of the company and an estimate of the proposed improvements and of the number of logs to come down. Sections 40 (in part) reads as follows:—‘‘40. The tolls for the first year shall be calculated upon the estimates herein before required to be made of the cost of the works, and the quantity of different kinds of timber expected to pass down the stream, and the tolls in all future years shall be calculated upon the cost ofthe works and the quantity of different kinds of timber expected to passdown the stream, and the receipts and expenditure, according to the accounts of the then next preceding year, as rendered in accordance with the provisions of section 21 and the following sections of this Act; and the tolls shall be so calculated that, after defraying the necessary cost of maintaining and sup- erintending the works and running, driving, booming, towing, sorting and rafting logs and other timber, and providing an equal annual sinking fund, which invested at six per centum, shall be sufficient to pay back to the shareholders the amount of their paid-up stock at the end of the time limited for the existence of the company and collecting the tools, the balance of the receipts may as nearly as possible be equal and in no case ex- ceed $10 for every $100 expended and invested in the said works.” Section 43 (in part) reads as follows:—‘‘43. The annual account required to be rendered by every company shall contain a schedule of the tolls calculated as aforesaid, which itis proposed to collect inthe follow- ing year, which schedule shall be published in the manner provided by section g hereof prior to the first day of March in each year.” The necessary amendments suggested are as follows: Add to section 21: tr Astatement and description of any sections of the works which it is believed will not produce tolls during the current year and of the amount of the sink- ing fund and cost of office charges relating to superin- tending the works properly attributable to each. 12. A statement of the surplus received over the expenditures actually made during the past year and 17 the sinking fund required in such year or of any deficiency actually occurring. Add to section 43: “And in fixing the schedule of tolls it shall be lawful for the company to charge such an amountas will provide for the raising of the sinking fund and the cost of the office charges relating to superintending the works which it is estimated will not be produced from those sections which are not likely to produce any tolls during the year provided such amount anda descrip- tion of the non-producing sections are specified in the return required to be made under section goof this Act. This amendment willenable the Commissioners of Crown Lands to deal equitably with both the company and the lumbermen using the stream. Section 50 also requires amendment. It only provides for a penalty of $10 for resisting or impeding the company inits operations. This is quite insufficient, nor does it take into account the loss to the lumbermen themselves who may be seriously damaged by the obstruction, as for instance the breaking of a boom, or the destruction of a dam. The following amendment to section 50is suggested: After the words ‘‘ Molest the company or its ser- vants in the exercise of any rights secured to them by this Act” insert the words ‘‘Or shall interfere with or damage any of the works, dams, piers, slides, booms or any chain or other fastening attached thereto or any raft, crib of timber or sawlogs or impedes or blecks up any channel or passage intended for the transmission of timber. Instead of the words ‘‘a fine of not more than $10 nor less than $1.00” insert ‘‘a fine which shall equal the actual !oss or damage occurring to the company. And add to the section: “And if by reason of such wrongful act any person or corporation using any of the works of the company or its property as aforesaid or doing any act in relation thereto with its permission suffers damage, such person or corporation shall have an action against the person doing such wrongful act to recover such damage in any Court of Competent Jurisdiction.” FRANK E.

The United States Forest Service, formerly, known as the Bureau of Forestry, has agreed to co-operate with the lumber trade to accomp- lish two very desirable purposes, namely, the collection of annual statistics and the adoption of asystem of standard grades. This has been secured through The co- operation National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association and is another indication ofthe great useful- ness of lumber organizations, of which, un- fortunately, there are too few in Canada. The collection of yearly statistics relative to the lumber industry of the United States has heretofore devolved upon private enterprise, and for that reason they have not been suf- ficiently accurate and complete to be of much benefit to the trade. Forest Services with the different lumber asso- ciations will doubtless accomplish much better results than in the past and admit of the publication of statistics which will be of almost incalculable benefit to the lumber industry. The co-operation of the A subject of equal importance is uniform lumber grades. The Forest Service is not expected to compile a system of standard grades, but simp!y to make such a compilation of the grades now in use as will be of service The in- formation thus obtained, however, is certain to to lumber producers and consumers. be of value in eventually preparing the way for a standard system, which is doubtless the object hoped for. ‘ The important work above referred to should appeal very strongly to Canadian lumbermen. Our position does not compare favorably with the United States in either statistics or grades, and when the new order of things is in vogue we will be at a distinct disadvantage. It may be said that no attempt is made by the lumber trade to secure statistics relative to the annual cut and shipments of all kinds of lumber, stocks held at the mills, etc. But the need of uniform inspection is still more apparent. In the United States certain rules are recognized in certain districts, but in this country even this much has not been accomplished. The result of such a condition is that foreign buyers prefer to place their orders with United States firms, who can at least furnish some basis of inspection. A TIMBER FAMINE. Hon. Arthur Hill, of Saginaw; Mich., has conducted extensive lumbering operations in both the United States and Canada. His knowledge of the timber resources of the two countries obtained through practical experience has been supplemented by a careful study of economic conditions. Few men are better able to estimate the available supply and probable His prediction, therefore, that we are approaching a lumber famine cannot be subjected to criticism as being the expression of a theorist, but must be recognized as a plain and well considered statement concerning a subject of vital interst to the country. Mr. Hill has observed, as have many others, that notwithstanding the increasing use of steel, cement, etc., in building operations, the de- mand for lumber has not diminished, but on the other hand is steadily growing larger. Lumber that twenty-five years ago graded as mill culls and sold at $4 per thousand feet is to-day bringing between $20 and $30. The rapidity with which the timber of North America has been cut down and consumed is indeed startling, although seemingly only re- cognized in very recent years. The annual consumption of timber in the United States has been estimated at fifty billion feet, while taking: the same basis for calculation, namely, 650 feet per capita, the consumption in Canada would be about four billion feet, or a total domestic consumption for the two countries of fifty-four billion feet. But this figure does not represent the full extent of the demand upon the timber supply. The products of the forests of North America are being exported to all parts of the world. Considering the vast quantity of timber which is each year required for the domestic and export trade, Mr. Hill’s prediction comes as a timely warning. é demand. The lumber manufacturer is directly interest- ed in the question of timber supply. With the approaching exhaustion of the great white pine belt, the tendency of stumpage values has been to increase. This tendency is almost certain to continue and values: be established far above the present for all kinds of timber. Many manufacturers are owners of limits. A question to which they should give considera- tion is whether more money could not be made by preserving their timber areas to a greater extent than in the past. that lumbermen, engaged in that branch of industry as a business, will recognize any claims on behalf of a timber supply for future Necessity demands that their mills shall be employed during the sawing generations. season, their customers retained, and their business kept in tact.

The three largest cities, Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg, each show a substantial gain over last year in the value of permits issued, and much the same conditions exist at other places.’ Lumber for r: building purposes has been consumed in enor- mous quantities. . White pine is still the favorite finishing | wood, and influenced by the heavy demand for building purposes in late years, prices have | : advanced to a high basis. Hardwoods, on the — other hand which are also used to some > ; extent for finishing material, have made little — progress, and prices are to-day lower thana — year ago. The explanation of this seems to be — that hardwoods are lacking in popular favor owing to common ignorance of their qualities. +4 Architects have become so accustomed to.

This wood is” now used largely for furniture making and _ flooring, but for finishing purposes has not been employed to any extent. Thereisno — reason, however, why it should not be so employed, as it has a pleasing color and clear grain and when properly stained its appearance | ~~ is greatly enhanced. That birch has teen in greater demand this year than the other hard- woods may be the beginning of a wider recognition of its many advantages. oe?” y > Sa, Y +. Basswood has been extremely inactive all — season and shows a marked decline ascom- __ pared with, say, two years ago, but forreasons which are not far to seek. The price was carried up beyond a legitimate value, sub- stitution followed, and the market thus lost . has not yet been recovered. But basswood is a splendid lumber for many purposes and should soon regain its former position. = The hardwood trade of Canada is yet only — in its infancy. There are great possi ties ane for the industry, and as our manufactories increase in number so will hardwoods increase — in consumption and value. Allowing for stumpage, logging, manufacturing and mar- keting, there is little profit in producin hardwoods at the present time, but the intr sic worth they represent will be recognized in later years. me A Canadian concern, finding no special ma- chines on the market for the manufacture of — meat skewers, is building a set of machines of its own invention. The machines which make the skewers used in the United States are product rather than the machines, hence the fhe marsetS = NOVEMBER, 1905 the chief one of the province—was little repre- sented. It is true that not very attractive ex- hibits can be evolved from the ordinary output of a Saw mill, and yet united effort and energy on the part of the lumbermen would likely have resulted in something of interest. Messrs. Gilley Bros., local agents for Rose- bank lime, the B.C. Pottery Company and the Vancouver Portland Cement Company, had a display of tile and drain pipes and other clay products, also specimens of ‘Vancouver Brand” cement. The Vanstone Heating and Plumbing Com- pany had an interesting display of bathroom fittings. Their display of Vanstone water tube, hot water heaters received a good deal of attention. Messrs. Hardman& Bryson also had two bath rooms fully equipped and a display of supplies, fittings, etc. Messrs. Cope & Frey, of Vancouver, and T. Mowbray & Company, of New Westminster, had a united display of electric fixtures, elec- tric heating devices, and electric ‘novelties. The British American Paint Company showed a full line of Elephant brand and Iron- ide paints and Creosote stain, ‘‘the great shingle preserver.” Just outside the Industrial building was a unique display in the shape of wire wound wood stave pipes, manufactured by the Pacific Coast Pipe Company of Vancouver. A six inch main of this pipe is laid round the ex- hibition grounds providing ample water for fire, protection and water supply for all the build- ings. This pipe is connected direct with the city mains and is under a pressure of 199 Ibs. During the fair the trench was opened near the entrance of the Industrial building, showing the pipe as it is in the ground and giving a prac- tical demonstration. Looking across the grounds towards the Agricultural Hall, the eye beheld a sight that suggested a demonstration of quick work by some hook and ladder company of firemen. -On closer examination it was found to be the display of automatic locking extension ladders, made by the Alright Extension Ladder Com- pany of Vancouver. * This ladder is, the latest invention of Mr. Waggoner, the inventor of the ladder made by the Waggoner Ladder Company of London, Ont. Mr. Waggoner is forming a company in Vancouver to manu- facture his latest patent, and to be known as the Alright Extension Ladder Company. One display that probably called forth more favorable comment than any other was that of five ready-made houses manufactured by the B.C. Mills, Timber& Trading Company. The houses, which were put together under the direct supervision of Mr. E. C. Mahoney, the inventor of them, were in various stages of completion, thereby enabling the visitors to see a exactly: iow the houses are constructed and what. goes into them.

WESTERN CANADA’S PULP RESOURCES. By Wm. SHANNON. The Dominion of Canada is claimed by experts to have the largest supply of pulp timber of any country in the world, and no part of the Dominion is so favorably situated for the manu- facture of pulp and paper as is British Columbia. The climate of the Coast is moist and with- out frost; this is a very essential point in the manufacture of pulp, thus allowing the mills to run the yearround. There is no part of the M. E. S. HOWE, Secretary East Kootenay Lumber Company, Cranbrook, B. C. world that has such great water power avail- able as our Western Coast, which also has hundreds of miles of inland waters which the largest vessels afloat can safely navigate. Our timber is far superior to any to be found else- where in the Dominion. The Douglas fir—the great lumber timber— disappears as we go north of Queen Charlotte Sound, and the spruce, one of the best pulp timbers, takes its place. have spruce, and a timber which is similar to spruce, commonly called larch, also white fir and hemlock, and in the Interior there are cottonwood and _ poplar, which make the cheaper grade of pulp. Although the Coast is rough and broken with mountains, still the timber can be taken out cheaply, especially for pulp purposes. There are many places that would be difficult to get logs out of, for lumber purposes, owing to the steepness of the ground, biit pulp timber which is cut into cordwood could easily be run out by flume to the water; therefore our Coast timber, from its location and its quality, is more suitable for pulp pur- poses than for lumber. Looking over the esti- mates of experts, as to the number of cords of pulp timber per acre, in Ontario we find the As pulp timber, we average about 13, and this is well known to be a correct estimate. A conservative estimate on our Coast would place it at 35 cords of pulp timber to the acre. Our timber is of a softer character and therefore easier worked. The following figures obtained from the Japanese Custom House returns serve to show the enormous growth, in two years, in the quantity of wood pulp imported to Japan alone. During 1901 a little over 3,000,000 ‘‘kin’”’ (equal to 4,000,000 lbs.) of wood pulp was imported into Japan. In 1903 this was increased to 12,125,560 ‘‘kin” or 16,167,413 lbs., represent- ing a value of $313,569,700. Of this Canada’s share amounted to 141,219 lbs., valued at $16,946.35. We may look to China and Japan as Our principal future markets, as there is no suitable timber in those countries for pulp. They will no doubt import most of their pulp from this Coast and with cheap labor manufac- ture the paper themselves. It is well known that there is no pulp wood in Australasia and already there is a large quantity of paper and-pulp being shipped from this port (Vancouver) to those parts each month. In 1900, the amount of pulp and pulp wood shipped from Canada to the States amounted to $1,500,000 in value, and since then the annual export has more than doubled. Mr. John McFarlane, of the Canadian Paper Company, reports as the result of his observa- tions in England and Europe recently, that Great Britain and the Continent form a market that :will stand at least half a million tons of Canadian pulp per annum. “alt is to be hoped that the Government will “devise such measures as will enable the location of pulp lands in such a way that the industry may prosper, and still safeguard the public interest.

An interesting feature of the magnificent plant of the Pacific Coast Lumber Company at Vancouver is the way they look after the welfare of the Asiatic labor. Two large board- ing houses, one for the Chinese and the other for the Japanese, have been erected on Georgia street, one on each side of the Company's hansdome office building. A beautifully kept lawn lies between the office building and the boarding houses, where exquisite flower beds The name of in different designs are laid out. rooms, including a plunge bath.. The next flat is used for bed rooms and school room. The latter room is well arranged for the purpose for which it is used. Special teachers are employed and lessons are given three times a week. The subjects taught chiefly are read- ing, writing, arithmetic, and English. On Sundays the religious welfare of the intimates is looked after by local religious bodies. The top flat is occupied altogether by bed rooms, a peep into the bed rooms revealing conditions not unlike what may be seen in any of the rooms of young men who are boarding. Nice clean beds are provided, and on the wall could be seen pictures and other bric-a-brac dear to the heart of the intimates. The boarding houses are rented entirely to one man, an Oriental, who then boards the employees of the mill at a nominal figure. The scheme is meeting with much success and the Pacific Coast Lumber Company are to be congratulated on the way they have provided for their employees. TIMBER RESOURCES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Manufacturers are have every confidence in the white pine market, which they believe shows strong evidence of continued firmness, The desire of American dealers to acquire stock even at the present high price is doubtless due to the falling off in the supply from the Lake Superior district, where there is very little lumber that has not passed out of first hands. Buffalo and Tonawanda wholesalers have been ready buyers of all the lower grades, which have been leading in point of demand all season. is a constant enquiry for mill culls, which bring from $11 to $14 at the mill, according to location. Dead culls are worth from $7 to $9, There is not much animation to the hardwood trade and prices are somewhat irregular. Mill run bass- wood, for instance, is held by some manufacturers at $20, while others are offering it at $18 and claim that even at this figure buyers are not plentiful. The salvation of the hardwood trade would seem to de- pend to some extent upon the extent of logging operations this winter. If the output is not greatly curtailed so as to permit of the existing stock of lumber being worked off, it may be difficult to maintain prices at the present low basis, and this notwithstanding the fact that the cost of manufacture warrants an advance. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. Some of the St. John mills have resumed operations, a raft of 1,000,000 feet of logs having ar- rived from the booms and about 2,000,000 feet more being expected. There is no hope, however, of get- ting out the many millions that are hung up on the Upper St. John river, and accordingly there will be a great scarcity of lumber next spring. There has been much activ- ity in shipping to the United States, the figures for the three NADA LUMBERMAN There 7 wo) ©] Bre Bet te ert. * he We Sei Na 4 a: ; me ES re * CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY “BBITION months ended September 3oth being $573,175.17, as compared with $336,178.64 for the corresponding time in 1904. These periods repre- sent the shipments of lumber, clap- boards, shingles, lath, pulp wood, etc. There were received at Boston in one week recently 24 schooners from the provinces loaded with Jumber, shingles and lath. The demand continues active and the available supply seems to be steadi- ly decreasing. The shingle market, on the other hand, lacks snap, which is the only reason why prices are not higher, as the supply is light. Extras are still offered at from $3.30 to $3.40 for Boston delivery. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The developments of the past two weeks have been in the direction of establishing higher prices for the lumber output of British Columbia. The coast mills, it will be remem- bered, cut the price of rough lum- ber for delivery to the Northwest to $17 because the Mountain mills had reduced prices with the object of capturing the Northwest trade. There was an actual loss in selling lumber at this price. The manu- facturers of the province, therefore, “held a meeting in Vancouver re- cently and agreed to sell at one price, namely, $19 per thousand. This agreement is looked upon with favor by the manufacturers and is likely to be followed by a further advance in the near future, as the . business is not yet profitable. Or- ders are more plentiful and as the demand from the Northwest agri- cultural districts is likely to show expansion, prospycts are brighter than they have been for the past year. Dia'ers who ‘ro: gh liniber at the minimum price of $17 will now be able to realize a purchased good profit. Ey UNITED STATES. The stability of market of the United states has not been impaired. As the fall.advances the lumber the demand seems to grow more BROTHERS CO KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Keenan bros., urgent, with the result that many dealers have more orders on their books than they can fill. The north- ern pine situation is exceptionally strong. The extensive purchases of a Chicago dealer have been no small factor in sustaining prices, as it is said that about one-half of the total Lake Superior production bas thus been absorbed. Sucha con- dition does not inspire much hope of lower prices during the winter months. A strong demand con- tinues at Buffalo, Tonawanda and New York, which points practically reflect the conditions existing throughout the whole Eastern States. Box and No. 1and No. 2barn are in short supply. Hemlock sells very readily and in some districts the demand is greater than the supply. A slight change for the better has occurred in thehardwood trade. Orders are more plentiful and prices a little firmer. There is a splendid call for plain oak, ash and birch, while elm, basswood and maple do not sbow as much life. White pine and norway lath are eagerly inquired for. Chicago dealers are shipping white pine lath in mixed cars at wholesale $5.25: No. 2 white pine at $4.50, No. 1 norway at $4.75, No. 1 hemlock at $4.50, and No. 2 nor- way at $4.25. GREAT BRITAIN. The improved conditions recently noted are becoming more marked. Inquiries for lumber are increasing notwithstanding the advance in prices which has taken place dur- i1g the past few weeks. Transac- tions in spruce are quite numerous. The prevailing prices for spruce in the docks are 410 per standard for 3x9 inch second quality, £9 5s. for thirds, and £8 ros. for fourths. Importers are also willing to pay higher prices for stock to be deliver- ed. Two cargoes from St. John, with about 60 per cent. seven and eight inch, changed hands recently at about 47 17s. 6d. per standand, and it is stated that for a small Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

The position of Quebec spruce in London and Liverpool is reported to be very strong. In second quality, 3x9 inch, there has been a rise of 5s. to ros. during the past few weeks. The white pine market is firm but does not show the activity which characterizes the sprucetrade. Birch lumber is said to be slated for an advance in the near future, the supply being light. Waney pine timber, on the other hand, is slug- gish, the high price having greatly restricted consumption and induced the use of substitutes as far as pos- sible. STOCKS AND PRICES. John Brooks has moved his port- able saw mill from Kent county to Brooklyn, 'N. B., to saw for Charles Pickard. * He expects to cut 1,500,- 000 feet. A considerable quantity of timber will be required for a new wharf to be constructed at St. John, N. B., for which D. C. Clark has secured the contract. Tbe timber to be used will consist chiefly of hemlock, red pine and southern pine. The Big Bend Lumber Company, of Arrowhead, B. C., have starteda largeloggingcamp at Fourteen Mile, below Revelstoke, and another ex- tensive camp is to be put in at Fost- hall Creek. The company figure on putting in three more camps the coming winter, making five in all. When blown-down white pine timber will bring $7. 50perthousand, and norway $6.50, the value of pine stumpage in the north can be ap- preciated. It also, in a way, ex- plains why No. 6 boards are selling for about $6.50 on the docks at Duluth. Two large rafts of pulp wood, which were being towed from Mus- quash to Mispec, N. B., went to pieces between Cape Spencer and Black Point and drifted out to the open sea. The rafts belonged to the Inglewood Pulp Company and contained about 1,000,000 feet, prac- - tically all of which will be lost to the company. 2 3 Samples by WHOLESALE ites and TIMBER Car and Cargo Lots Only i Dimension Timber in DOUGLAS FIR, PINE, HEMLOCK, SPRUCE, Specialty : YELLOW PINE or OAK.

P.O. oon us : F ry ‘ i> oe Sir , “ / November 1, 1905 CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Ill. BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) VANCOUVER, B.C., October 23rd, 1905.—Conditions in the lumber in- dustry in British Columbia are very good at present, and especi- ally does this pertain to the coast mills. Local demand is brisk, Northwest trade is better than for many months, and the export busi- ness continues on a fairly large scale. In the last letter reference was made to the large number of ships which were loading at the Hastings mill, and figures which have since been made public show that this year will be one ot the best in export the Hastings mill has had for some time. Approximately 4o,- 000,000 feet will be sent to various parts of the world. At the Che- mainus mills, also, ships are con- stantly taking on cargo for foreign ports. Local mills are working full time with orders. This is the time of year when trade with the middle west is good, and added to this is the great local consumption of lum- ber. Building has been going on apace in Vancouver this year, which will be one of the best on record. Heaps & Company, The Royal City Mills, the Pacific Coast Lumber Company, the Rat Portage Lumber Company and the Vancou- ver Lumber Company are all very busy with local orders. Prices are firm, without change. An advance is looked for in logs, but this may be stood off for a while owing to the couple of weeks of very fine weather which has fol- lowed the wet September. Many logs will have been put in the water to supply the demand which shows as? yet no signs of decreasing. Loggers are very confident that a sharp j jump will be made before long in the price. The continued poor condition of the shingle business is the only bad feature in connection with the in- dustry. While prices do not alter to any extent, the demand is com- paratively slack, without much pros- pect of immediate improvement. Much activity is displayed on Van- couver Island. Americans are to the fore in securing large tracts of timber for sawmill purposes, and when they erect mills they will cut for the export trade. Work is pro- gressing on the plant of the Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Com- pany near Clayoquot. This will be a shingle mill having the capacity of 380,000 shingles every ten hours. The E. H. Heaps Company had a bad fire last Tuesday when their dry kilns were burned with something over $10,000 loss, partly covered by insurance. The men at the mill, with the brigade, worked several hours in saving the rest of the mill. Just at the time that the alarm was given, Mr. E. H. Heaps was pro- posing the health of his son’s bride, the wedding having taken place that afternoon. The Elk Lumber and Manufactur- ing Company, whose nfill at Fernie was burned down recently, announc- ed that the rebuilding would take place at Hosmer, some miles from its former site. The C.P.R. offered inducements to this end, but the company has since decided to erect its new mill at Fernie. The structure will be of steel, and as nearly fire- proof as it is possible to make a saw mill, NEW FREIGHT TARIFF. The new C. P. R. lumber tariff on eastbound shipments from British Columbia, the conditions and terms of which were arranged in Van- couver several weeks ago, at a conference between representatives of the mills and C. P. R. freight traffic officials, took effect on Nov- ember 1. The principal concession made by the railway to the lumber- men is the granting of the fir rate of forty cents per hundred pounds into Manitoba to rough cedar ship- ments which at present take a fifty- cent rate. The fir rate of fifty cents to Fort William is also to be dropped to forty-five cents. Mixing of fir and rough cedar and shingles in cars is also permitted at respective carload lot rates.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION favorably with the sale reported in our last issue of a steamer cargo to the same district, this latter cargo containing 50 per cent. 3 x9 and 10 per cent. 3x11, at £8 cif. The iron and steel industries in the Mid- lands report active trade. This should have a tendency to give a healthy tone to the consumption of spruce at the Bristol Channel ports, and there is sufficient enquiry about to encourage the hope that. still better reports will be forthcoming. In the North-West districts we have heard of no new sales to report, but judging from the visible activity in this neighborhood, we should say that spruce maintains the enhanced prices merchants paid. ADVANCE IN LUMBER PRICES. Representatives of the lumber in- dustry from all over the province of British Columbia held a meeting at Vancouver on October 23rd, when it was agreed to maintain a regular schedule of prices. For some time past there has been war between the manufacturers of the interior and the coast, as a result of which the coast men reduced the price of rough lumber from $19 and $20 to $17. This practically put a number of the interior mills out of business. Now a Satisfactory and harmonious basis has been arrived at. Rough lumber has been restored to $19, and is selling at that price uniform throughout the province. Because of the stiff price of logs and the almost sure increase which is to come, millmen claim that this has necessitated a $1 per thousand raise on all kinds of lumber. In addition to the local members of the British Columbia Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association who were present at the meeting, those from the interior were: Mr. F. W. Jones, manager of the Co- lumbia River Lumber Company, Golden; Mr. Peter Lund, manager of the Crow’s Nest Pass Lumber Company, Wardner; Mr. George P. Wells, of Palliser; and Mr. E. A. Watts, of Cranbrook. In addition to the matter otf prices, subjects of general interest to the industry were also discussed. BUSINESS NOTES. The assignment is announced of the Detroit Box Company, Detroit, Mich. The list of creditors reaches seventy-five and the total liabilities $68,104.41. One or two Canadian firms are interested. Mr. Justice Perdue has made an order appointing the National Trust Company receivers of the Manitoba Lumber Company, which carried on business at Winnipeg, Roland, Carman and elsewhere. The appli- cation was made at the instance of the Foss Lumber Company, It is claimed that the directors have sold out their stock, that the concern is insolvent and the assets of the com- pany are now being sold without there being any board of directors in charge. y ee PLOTS THOS JUST A GENTLE REMINDER KG y Y That’s all—-a reminder that we can supply your y wants in the lumber line. 4 It’s up to you NOW to realize that fact and to WAL open up correspondence with us. i Don’t forget that SPRUCE LUMBER is our ( y specialty—and should be yours.

Following are the new car service rules formulated by the Board of Canadian Railway Commissioners : 1. All freight in abate, or less, handled by shippers or consignees, is subject to a ser- vice charge of $1 per car per day of 24 hours, or part thereof, if not loaded or unloaded within 48 hours. _ Exception.—Twenty-four hours additional will be allowed on cars loaded with coal and coke in bulk, boards and deals. 2. Cars delayed under load beyond the free time, for any reason for which shippers or consignees are responsible, will be subject to the car service charge. 3. On cars placed before 12 o’clock noon, free time begins at noon; if placed after 12 a.m. following. Cars to be accessible at all times during the period allowed for loading and unloading. Time lost through interrup- tion, for which the railway is responsible, to be added to the free time allowance. 4. No charge will be made for Sundays or legal holidays. 5. When, owing to wet or stormy weather, loading or unloading is temporarily impractic- able, agents will extend the free time allowance so as to give altogether the full free time period of suitable weather. Agents must immediately report particulars to the manager, and note in their daily reports ‘‘waived Rule 5” opposite each car affected, giving dates on which the car ser- vice charge has not been assessed. 6. When, owing to irregularities in transportation, cars have been “‘bunched”’ and are tended to the consignee in numbers beyond his ascertained reasonable ability to unload within the authorized free limit, he shall be allowed such addi- tional time as may be necessary to unload the cars so in excess, by the exercise of due and usual diligence. The agent must at once report the particulars to the manager and ob- tain his ratification. 7. When both cars and tracks are owned by the same private party, no charge will be made. 8. Consignees must be promptly notified of the arrival of their freight, and will be held to have heen noti- fied when notice of arrival is given at their address or place of busi- ness, or if notice is mailed to the address given on the way-bill, con- signee will be held to have been advised at 7 a.m. of the day following. g. Twenty-four hours will be allowed to consignees, after notice of arrival, in which to NEw pay charges, if any, and give orders for special placing or delivery. If not ordered within that time, car will be considered as for public team track delivery, and will be placed accord- ingly, and if not unloaded within the free time will be subject to the car service charge. Twenty-four hours additional will be allowed for clearance of customs, where the destination is a port of entry. Where the destination is not a port of entry, 48 hours will be allowed for clearance of cus- toms at the outside port of entry. 1o. The extra time after notice of arrival for paying charges and ordering will not apply on cars for which agents have previous or standing orders or arrangements for placing for regular delivery on designated tracks or private sidings. 11.. The delivery of cars to private tracks shall be considered to have been made either when such cars have been placed on the tracks designated, or when they would have been placed but for some condition for which ship- per or consignee is responsible. 12. If, after placing, cars are ordered to another siding on the same road to complete loading or unloading by the same shipper, or the same consignee, and no switching or re- consigning charge is made, the free allowance will be computed from the original placing, less the time occupied in replacing the car. 13. If car is reshipped or reconsigned, the original consignee shall pay $1 per car per day, or part thereof, for all time in excess of the period allowed by these rules, so that 48 hours free time may remain to the party taking delivery. 14. Should a switching road give notice that it is unable to receive cars for private sid- ings, Owing to conditions for which shippers or consignees are responsible, then any railway having cars for such consignee must so advise them. Car service will accrue until the cars are accepted by the switching road, and will be collected by the railway which is holding them. 15. Cars held in transit for inspection, cleaning, bagging, Completion or change of load, change of destination, etc., and detained over the time allowed for such purposes, will be subject to car service charges, which must be billed forward as directed by the account- ing department. If such shipments are trans- ferred to other cars, the car service charges will follow on the cars to which transfer is made. The forwarding agent, or in the case of change of destination, the agent by whom arranged, must make the following notation on‘the bill of lading, ‘‘Subject to car service charges at The amount must also be inserted in the ‘‘back charges” column of the. bill of lading, when practicable. _ 16. So-called industrial, logging or private roads handling cars for themselves or other parties, must be charged car service on all cars delivered to them from the time placed upon the interchange tracks until returned thereto, allowance being made for the time necessary to perform the switching service (not to exceed 24 hours), in addition to the free time herein authorized. 17. Cars must not be held short of the des- tination for the purpose of evading these rules. Loaded cars held back for cause must be reported to the manager. 18. When cars are delayed or refused by consignees because of alleged incorrectness in the railway rates or charges, car service must be collected if charges or weights are found to be correct. 19. Agents must in all cases collect car service charges as soon as accrued. Should payment be refused, agents will withhold de- livery, either by sealing or locking car, or placing it where it will not be accessible. 20. When the contents of a car are appar- ently not worth the combined freight and car service charges, and consignee fails to take delivery, the agent must wire the manager for instructions. 21. All complaints, disputes and uncertain- ties which may arrise under these rules must be referred at once to the manager. The manager may reduce or cancel the charges should he consider that the circumstances justity such action. Claims should be filed with the manager _ direct, and must be accompanied by the re- ceipted bills for the amounts paid. ” oe ? ee ie tz : DOS Neate hendl Po ‘ ong ned Se ee or ee wi re . c ae LE Sa a eee 24 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN re NovEMBER, SS a = = ARGUMENTS FOR AN IVPORT DUTY of course.

Mr. Joseph Turner, president of the Turner Lumber Company, Midland, Ont., died very suddenly in Toronto on Friday, October 27th. Some years ago he conducted extensive lumber- ing operations in Michigan. He began his career with S. H. Webster & Company, of Bay City, and later formed a co-partnership with the late W. H. Tousey. He was instrumental in having the Blodgett sawmill removed from Muskegon to Bay City. This he operated under the name of the South End Lumber Com- pany, Mr. S. O. Fisher being associated with him in this enterprise. About 1890, the timber supply of Michigan having become exhausted, he turned his attention to Canada, purchasing limits and operating in the Georgian Since that time he has been prominent in Canadian lumber circles and a strong advocate of an import duty on American lumber so as to equalize the conditions. His logging opera- tions have mostly been carried on in the South River district, while the manufacturing has been done at Midland, where the head office for Ontario is located. No man, perhaps, had a better knowledge of lumbering than the late Mr. Turner. He was a director of the Spanish River and Ausable Boom Company, the French River Boom Com- pany, and the Vermillion River Boom Com- pany. Mr. Turner was prominent in the Masonic order, being a Knight Templar and a thirty-second degree Scottish Riter. Deceased was 56 years old and leaves a widow, a resi- Bay district. . dent of Bay City, and four sons, all associated with their father in business. They are Dwight J., of Midland; S. F. and Clarence A. of South River, and Arthur B. Turner, of New York city. STRONG TESTIMONIALS. The Canada Saw Company, Limited, of Ottawa, are constantly in receipt of letters bearing testimony to the satisfaction given by their saws for both lumber and shingle mills. Two testimonials received this year are reproduced below : John Fenderson & Company, Incorporated, manu- facturers of lumber, shingles and lath, Sayabec, Que., say: ‘We have tested the band saw shipped us lately on our band resaw against some of the best American makes and are pleased to say that our saw man re- ports yours the best. Kindly rush lath saws on order.” The Metis Lumber Company, manufacturers of spruce jumber and cedar shingles, Price, Que., express their opinion as follows: ‘‘The 10 shingle saws you shipped us last month have been at work now a week, and we are pleased to say that they are giving us evidence of being Ai saws in every respect. They were in perfect order when received, and all without exception fitted on the collars so accurately that there was no need of hammering or retouching them in any way. We are highly pleased with the saws, and your punctuality in shipping them to us. They arrived here on the day preceding the date of shipment specified in the order. As we require immediately four other shingle saws exactly similar to those you have already shipped us, we have wired you to-day to inquire how soon you could furnish them, and hope you may be able to do so promptly. The 66 inch cut-off saws you supplied. us are also satisfactory. We may say that this is the first time in our experience that we have been able to ex- press entire satisfaction with any considerable lot of saws that we have bought from Canadian makers.” PERSONAL. Mr. F. A. Mulholland, of the Imperial Veneer Company, Sundridge, Ont., has gone to Cuba, having been commissioned to purchase a veneer plant for the Cuban Realty Company. Mr. Henry Milton Martin, of Vancouver, federal Crown land and timber agent for the Yukon, with Messrs. John F. Surgue and J. Sylvester, assistant inspectors, have been suspended from office owing to alleged irregularities. Mr. A. Byrne, of the Garlock Packing Company, Hamilton, has returned from an extensive business and pleasure trip to Europe. He visited London, Paris and many other of the large business centres, having been absent for four months. Mr. Edgar C. Baker has ceased to represent Messrs. Smith, Tyrer & Company, timber merchants, of Liver- pool,Eng., and Mr. Colin Campbell Tyrer, who has been associated with Mr Baker for the last two years, will undertake the management of their Halifax office. Mr. E..W. Wylie, of Read Island, B. C., a promi- nent lumberman and pioneer of the country, was a visit- or in Vancouver last month,his trip being acombination of business and pleasure. Mr. Wylie reports better times and increasing activity among the loggers up north. Mr. R. H. Campbell, of the Department of Interior, Ottawa, has been promoted to the position of chief clerk and head of the timber and’mines branch, which became vacant through the resignation of Mr. Ryley. Mr. Campbell is Forestry Association. Mr. G. P. Wells, late manager of the W. C. Wells Company at Palliser, B. C., is mentioned as likely to be appointed permanent secretary and organizer of the Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Association. He is certainly well qualified for the position, being a thorough lumberman, : The offices of the Arrowhead Lumber Company, Arrowhead, B. C., were the scene of a pleasant event recently, when Mr. Rend Gibbons, the general manager of the mill, was made the receipient of a set of solid silver knives, forks, spoons, etc., from the _ survived by one son and three daughters. aq also secretary ‘ of the Canadian —~ employees of the company, as a mark of their esteem, — it being the occasion of Mr. Gibbon’s return from — Calgary, where he was, on the gth ultimo united inwed- lock to Miss Mills, late of Chester, N. S. Mr. John Grier, of the lumber firm of J. & B. Grier, Montreal, died at Ste. Anne de Bellevue on Saturday, — September 3oth, in his 76th year. He was born and — educated in Ottawa (then By-Town.) At 20 years of # age, he went into the timber and lumber business, and — three years later was joined by his brother, Mr. Brock- will Grier, when the firm of J. & B. Grier was formed. — Fifty-five years ago he married Miss Olive Dunning, — who pre-deceased him thirteen years ago. Mr. Grier is Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Robinson, of Ottawa, celebrat-— ed their golden wedding on Wednesday, October 25th, — the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. Mr. Robinson, — who is president of the Hawkesbury Lumber Company, — has hada most successful business career, and al- though he has ever been an ardent worker, he has — found ample time to devote himself to public matters. — He was born in Hawkesbury, Ont., in 1831, and fro 3 1847 was employed in the Gatineau lumbering district for Hamilton Bros. In 1850 he was given a position in — the Ottawa office and in 1888 was made president of — the Hawkesbury Lumber Company, which took over — the business of Hamilton Bros. Heis interested in the Upper Ottawa Improvement Company, the Ottawa & — Hull Power Company and other enterprises, and is an — active officer of the Canadian Forestry Association, KENDALL’S PATENT ROTARY VALVE. — Mr. I. N. Kendall, of Ottawa, has patented a rotary valve for canters, kickers and log loaders, which is in- tended to take the place of the ordinary piston valve — heretofore used for this purpose. The cut herewith — shows the valve and the manner in which it is attached to the cylinder. It is claimed to be the simplest, most easily adjusted and most economical valve of any valve — on the market to-day, and can be attached to any canter or kicker now in use. F _— Should the cylinder to which it is desired to attach these valves have but one feed pipe as many have with the old style piston valve, all that is necessary todois — to drill and tap two holes in cylinder for 1in. pipe as — shown at B in small cut, which shows a method of attaching valve to cylinder. In operation steamisad- mitted to cylinder through pipe A, causing piston to -- move to opposite end from which steam is admitted. When work has been done and it is desired to exhaust __ the steam and allow piston to return to original” position, the part in valve which admits steam to pipe A is closed by operating handle H, and part in valve connecting pipe B with the pipe to open air is placedin — position. When the descending piston has crossed the ~ point where pipe B enters the cylinder it shuts off the | steam from further escape through pipe B and confines es, Cibavet Pps — Lied ype te Tee ap rou sf lppndor » koa qpeprnes (RHO HEL IAAT Re INKENDALL** ROTARY VALVE i ERE! il fee Tag porte Bite d aMerbed eo < niga KENDALL'S PATENT ROTARY VALVE. it to the space in the cylinder, between the bottom of — the cylinder and the descending piston. As the steam — there confined cannot escape through pipe A it follows” that it mnst form a cushion for the descending piston — and prevent it from coming in contact with the bottom — of the cylinder with any considerable force. The © alve being rotary and semi-circular is hel d up tightly | to its seat by means of the steam pressure behind it, — which is counter-balanced by means of springs which — prevent the steam from pressing the valve too tightly — to its seat. The use of two pipes to each end ofa cylinder from valve, one for steam and one for exhaust, was first used in connection with this valve and is Mr. Kendall’s invention. rs ~ NOVEMBER, 1905 33 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN STATE MAP ON A PLANK. Most easterners are more or less curious about the big trees of the western coast country, but unless they can take a trip to that section they must be content with pictures ofthe forest mammoths or “‘tall” stories told regarding them by persons who have visited the timber districts. Those who attend the Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland, in the midst of the big tree country, find plenty of material there to satisfy their curiosity. While, as stated, Portland is in the land of the big tree, most of the mammoth trees in the immediate vicinity have been cut down, and it is necessary to go some little distance before finding a tree big enough to hollow out and use as a two-room house. But at the Exposition there is a hollow stump which is used asan office by Ezra Meeker, an old pioneer, who has a collection of early rel cs; and there is another stump section, hollowed out, which will accommodate about thirty people very comfortably. In the Washington state building there is a map of the eastern section of that state, painted upon the sur- face of a plank cut from a Washington spruce tree. The tree was 12 feet 8 inches in diameter at the butt. - The map is about 12 feet square, and is undoubtedly the largest map ever made on one plank. TRADE NOTES, The Capstan Mfg. Company, Toronto, have installed a new mincemeat machine with a capacity of a ton per hour it meets the demands of the fall trade. The Canadian Fairbanks Company, Mortreal, will shortly issue the first section of their new supply cata- logue, which will be devoted to pipe and steam fitters’ tools. Henry Disston & Sons, saw manufacturers, are building a large brick factory on Lombard street, Toronto, from which the Canadian trade will be supplied. Large sales of their new four inch steam setting mashine are being made by the William Hamilton Manufacturing Company. They have been installed by J. B. Smith & Sons, Toronto, Colonial Lumber Com- pany, Pembroke, and others. The Laurie Engine Company, Montreal, have sup- plied one of their standard Corliss engines for a new pulp mill now being built at Seven Islands, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. They are also building a cross com- pound Corliss engine and a Simplex power pump for the Rolland Paper Company, of St. Jerome, Que. The Canada Saw Company, Limited, of Ottawa, are == building a new factory in St. Henri, Que. It will be 100x145 feet, four stories, and equipped with all the latest machinery for the manufacture of band, circular, cross-cut and hand saws. The company have had a very successful season and report very bright prospects for next year. Mr. Soy has succeeded Mr. Freeman as superintend- ent of the Grand River Lumber Company’s mill at Hamilton Inlet, Labrador, in which Mr. Alfred Dickie, of lower Stewiacke, N. S., is largely interested. The Hart Corumdum Wheel Company and the Can- adian Corumdum Company have amalgamated, under the name of the Canadian Hart Corumdum Wheel Company, Limited. The capital stock of the new con- cern is $75,000 and the head office will be at Hamilton. The provisional directors are G. F, Webb, C. S. Wilcox, S. E. Sherk and C. H. Warren. Official announcement has been made that the Niles- Bement-Pond Manufacturing Company, of New York, have acquired a controlling interest in the business of Bertram & Sons, Dundas, Ont. The capital of the company has been increased trom $200,000 to $400,000, the intention being to make extensive improvements, including the erection of new buildings. PAT.

A Russian timber dealer is said to have discovered a valuable mine of oak ina river of South Russia, it being in layers 3 or 4 feet deep, scattered over 150 square 3 miles, and its most striking feature is its variety of colors, supposed to be due to the variegated soil of the — river bottom. No fewer than 12 shades of pink, blue, yellow and brown have been noted, each log having its own uniform shade. The logs taken out have ranged * from 40 to 200 feet in length and from 15 to 20 inches — in diameter, and it is estimated that more than 150,000, — averaging 70 feet, remain.

In reply to questions on the subject, a num- ber of retailers in the Northwest have expressed the opinion that a gross profit of twenty-five per cent. should be asked on the upper grades of lumber carried by them, and that a gross profit of fifty per cent. on mouldings is none too much. Both of the stocks must be handled with special care. The finishing grades of white pine must be piled with a great deal of care and protected from the weather. If it becomes discolored with age or is damaged in appearance in any way, the customer will not take it at the high price that must be asked to TRANSMISSION ROPE insure any profit at all. In the case of mould- ings, they must be kept in a rack from which rain and dirt must be excluded. They become almost worthless to the retailer if they lose the brightness of new lumber. For these reasons the above profits are no more than the retailer ought to get to insure him against loss on the portion that becomes unsaleable after it has been carried for some time.

The Cutters work alternately with side clearance ; ply their way through the worst lumber that you may find for high grade finish. The bit seats and their bit and bolt combinations supply the make-ready for every emergency. For tight and loose fitting of tongue and groove joint, a single turn of the expan- sion ring will suffice, with automatic stop and lock. NOTHING COMPLICATED TO GET OUT OF ORDER The Shimer Cutter Head is made to fit any make of matcher or moulder. You take the measurements—we do the rest, and guarantee to fit your spindles.

This cut shows a Globe case containing a Triumph Turbine, with elbow, two pulleys, one of which may be cut off by a clutch, and governor, all mounted on the one steel frame. This setting is self-contained, rigid and durable, and permits a direct belt drive to the ma- chine to be driven. Our Triumph Wheels placed horizontally give from 5 to 10 per cent. better results than any other wheel, owing to their perfect discharge. For light - powers with limited water our Improved Standard Leffel and Vulcan Wheels have no equals. If you are developing a new power or replacing an old setting, let us figure with you.

NUMBER 12. THE LATE MR. JOSEPH TURNER. ‘The portrait of the late Mr. Joseph Turner, to whose death reference was made in the November number, is presented on this page. . Deceased was president of the Turner Lumber Company and a gentleman who was very highly esteemed. It is learned that his extensive lumbering operations in Ontario, reaching about fifty million feet annually, will be continued by his sons, who have for some years been associated with him in business. The new offi- cers of the company are: Dwight J. Turner, president; Clarence A. Turner, vice-president ; Stanley F. Turner, secretary-treasurer. The head offices of the company have been removed from Midland to Toronto, although representatives will still be permanently located at Mid- land, South River and Cutler. FIRE PROTECTION ALONG RAILROADS. The escape of glowing coal from the ash-pan and ot sparks from the smoke- stack, especially the latter, has been one of the most fruitful sources of forest fires wherever steam railway construc- tion and operation are conducted on forested lands. Much may be done by using spark arresting screens in the extension firing, and by forbidding the dumping of glowing coals when engines are in motion. Unfortunately, no device has yet been perfected by which the escape of sparks from the smokestack may- be entirely prevented, and the safety of the forest- must be sought by the combined use of such safeguards as are found to be practicable, together with an effi- cient patrol of the right of way. At the Quebec meeting of the Canadian Forestry Association in March, 1905, the fol- lowing timely resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, that in view of the proposed con- struction 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 prov- inces, and 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 precat- tions to prevent the starting of fires are not taken, and to urge that the question be given full and careful consideration, that to the end AND WOOD-WORKER TORONTO, MONTREAL — DECEMBER, 1905 — WINNIPEG, VANCOUVER TERMs, $1.00 PER YEAR Single Copies, 10 Cents sought the party or parties contracting to build the different sections of the said roads be required to enter into an agreement for an efficient equipment and control to prevent fires, that at such seasons as may be necessary an effective patrol be established along 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 fires through defect- ive equipment or through the carelessness of THE LATE Mr. JOSEPH TURNER. the operators or negligence of the employees under their control. The following review of an article in the Centralblatt fur das gesammte Forstwesen, June 1905, pp. 271-274, on this timely topic, is quoted from the Forestry Quarterly, vol..111, No. 3, p- 311. An interesting feature of the official regulations of the Prussian government noted in this article is the insistence of a close forest cover being maintained as near as is practicable to the rails. absolutely necessary to clear the forest away a sufficient distance to enable ihe engineers to It is, of course, see their signals and to prevent accident by windfalls across the rails. sary clearing, however, the more completely the forest cover is maintained the less the danger from fire. Beyond this neces- “The latest formulation of measures to pro- tect forest areas against fires from locomotives was made by Dr. Kienitz in the German Forstwirtschaftsrath in February. “Recognizing that the railroad companies can reduce, but by no means avoid entirely, the escape of fire from the locomotives, and that with increased traffic an efficient patrol system becomes practically impossible, the necessity of safety appliances along the right of way is argued. The cost of these appliances must, of course, be kept in proportion to the result, and the more endangered forests (conifers on dry soil) call for greater care. These appliances may be merely woven wire-fences or light metal fences (applicable only near civi- lization) or else cleared or planted safety-strips. “The best safely-strips are not open but wooded strips of moderate width with trees dense enough and high enough to prevent the passage of glowing coals and in sucha condition that a fire if started goes out of itself. “Open safety-strips even if the ground is kept plowed, which is the best means of preventing fifes, are less desirable, because, to be effective, they must be broader than is usually practicable—1oo feet on each side is still insufficient—and if not fit for farm use constitute a great waste. strips is based on the observation of the manner in which fires originate and propagate. All fires originate on the ground, stem and top fires included which run up from the ground if inflammable material intervenes and go out when the ground fire is stopped. “The ground fire in its incipience goes out by itself when meeting small impedi- ments of non-inflammable material, a plough- furrow, a trail; it becomes more dangerous as it increases in circumference. Hence excessive breadth ofthe safety-strip (without plough-strips or trails) may become a source of danger. “The safety against fire is not to be sought so much in the non-inflammability of the green _ leaves as in the absence of dry branches and the presence of non-inflammable bark. The thick bark of a pine makes it the most resistant species; but the sozZ cover zs, of course, the main source of danger. “‘Upon the basis of these general principles the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture and Forests has issued specific instructions for the construction and maintenance of safety-strips. These are to have a breadth of 4o to 50 feet “‘The construction of such safety- _ TH CANADA LUMBERMAN. i THE CANADA LUMBERMAN - ae aX es with a plowed strip or trail or road or ditch or otherwise open ground of 3 feet width along the embankment, and another such strip of 4 to 5 feet on the opposite side of the wooded ‘strip ; the first to prevent fires running into, the latter to prevent fires from running out of the safety-strip. Within the latter all easily inflammable material is to be removed and trees are to be trimmed up to 4.5 feet. Only the green branches on the side toward the railroad are never to be removed. ‘‘The two plowstrips (paralleling the road- way) are to be connected every 75 to 100 feet by cross strips, to confine possible fires still further. strips may be necessary. “In new railroad constructions the opening through the forest is to be made no wider than the absolute necessity of safe railroading requtres. Where danger ‘from windfalls is to be antici- pated the opening is to be widened as far as necessary, Zo be at once reforested. “For this reforestation on especially the Scotch Pine yearlings or three- In moorlands sanding over these sandy _ soils ‘year old transplants (4 x 4 feet) are to be used, and Spruce for better sites.

MODERN SINGLE BAND HARDWOOD SAW MILL. On the opposite page are shown the plans of an approved type of a single band saw mill especially adapted for the cutting of hard- woods. It was recently constructed by Messrs. Bliss & Van Auken, of Saginaw, Mich., who have had many years experience in the building and running of saw mills of many types, this mill being erected by them as the result of all these years of experience. It has been thor- oughly worked out and demonstrated that for cost, efficiency, economy in the number of men employed and output, it fully equals or excels the best mills of this type ever erected. The plans, which are reproduced by permission from the Hardwood Record, of Chicago, show a mill 30x96 feet in size, and illustrate the mach- inery floor, saw floor and the filing room in the third story. The mill is equipped with machin- ery manufactured by the M. Garland Company, of Bay City, Mich. of an eight-foot band mill, a three carriage, a This equiment is made up three saw edger, atrimmer and a slasher. The carriage is fitted with Prescott steam set works manufactured by the Prescott Company, Menominee, Mich. The machinery-is actuated by a rope drive, which, with pulleys and shafting, was installed by the Dodge Manufacturing Company, of Mishawaka, Ind. The mill is very closely con- nected, and is entirely free from complicated The arrangement of carriage, live rolls, etc., permits of sawing timber up to twenty-four feetin length. In the case of Bliss & Van Auken this equipment was put in to accommodate the sawing of hemlock, although the chief output of the mill is maple cut to one inch, which is manufactured to supply their flooring factory. appliances. The regular output of the mill in a ten hour run is from 26,000 to 30,000 feet of one inch hard maple, and from 45,000 to 55,000 feet of hemlock, cut to one and two inches, and timbers. The maple logs average ten to the thousand, while the hemlock runs eight to the thousand. This entire sawmill construction and equipment cost less than $20,000. There are some peculiar features connected with the great Bliss & Van Auken enterprise as a a, i oe ~ ep + tipo! at Saginaw. In addition to this sawmill, they operate a custom planing mill; a maple floor- a3 ing factory; a plant for the manufacture of roller bearings; another for the construction of gasoline pumping engines, and still another in which windmills and water-tanks are made. Besides this, they are producers of salt, and supply power for the running of some minor plants in the vicinity The power for this entire list of manufacturing enterprises is supplied from one power plant which consists of a 350h.p. upright, water tube boiler, actuating a 24x48 Corliss engine. The engine is belted direct to the planing mill, and by means of a_ rope-drive to the sawmill, while it also actuates alarge dynamo which supplies the electric current which drives the individual machines in — the flooring plant.and the other factories enumerated. This engine is in constant service — from Monday morning to the following Sunday morning, although but a small number of the plants are run at night. : Fir ay: The logs with which this mill is supplied are _ delivered from the Company’s timber purchase at Haakwood, on the Mackinaw division of the “a Michigan Central, by trian, and are dumped into a steam-heated log pond contiguous to the mill. The flooring plant isa small and compact one which produces about 18,000 feet of maple flooring in a ten-hour run. Every — machine has direct motor connection. The system employed in making flooring at this plant is what is known as the edge tongue and grooving.. The maple lumber as it comes from the dry kiln is stripped and the knot de- fects cut out. The strips are then double sur- faced on a Twin Hoyt machine ; they are then ~ end matched, and the best surface scraped. The next operation consists in tonguing and grooving, which is performed on a fast run- — ning Hoyt edge matcher, manufactured, like the other Hoyt tools, by the American Wood- working Machinery Company. This machine dresses and matcnes, hollow-backs and bores” for blind nailing. The floor material is then assorted, and the bundles are transferred to— the’ warehouse by means of an endless belt conveyor. All the flooring is loaded into cars under cover. .

It will be called ‘“The Fairbanks Standard.” ~ The Company will be glad to place any of our readers who may be interested on their mailing list. “ The William Hamilton Manufacturing Company, of - Peterboro, Ont., have just issued a catalogue devoted - entirely to lath mill machinery.

PLANS OF A MODERN SINGLE BAND HARDWOOD MILL. Glancing over the mailing list of the CANADA LuMBERMAN, the publishers have felt gratified to observe the considerable number of sub- scribers of long standing. Of a subscription list of three thousand, and which is steadily growing, two hundred and seventy-two have been subsribers for between ten and twenty- three years, which fact may, we think, be accepted as tangible evidence that our efforts to produce a journal of. intetest and value to the lumber trade have met with a fair measure of appreciation and success. The honor of be- ing the oldest subscriber belongs to Mr.:>J: Breakey, the well-known mill owner of Quebec city, whose address label bears the date ‘January, 1883.” This honor is closely con- testedbyMr. George Cormack, whohasconducted a wholesale lumber business at Whitby, Ont. ,for many years and has been a subscriber since October, 1883. Mr. C. Mickle, of the lumber manufacturing firm of Mickle, Dyment & Com- pany, Gravenhurst, Ont., is the third oldest subscriber, having been a Constant reader of the journal since October, 1885, while among those who subscribed in 1886 and are still on the list are Messrs. C. P. Holton, Belleville, Ont.; A. D. Ritchie, Three Rivers, Que. ; Jos. Bedard, Richmond, Que. ; J. C. Schlie- hauf, West Lorne, Ont. ; J. Sheppard & Son, Sorel, Que. ; Alex. Mustard, Brucefield, Ont. ; Vigars Bros., Port Arthur, Ont.; S. H. Craig, London, Ont.; W. J. Reid, Ayr, Ont., and Jas. Carswell, Renfrew, Ont. What a few of the subscribers say of the paper, after a test of ten years and upwards, may be of interest to the trade, and is printed below : Geo. RATHBONE, manufacturer of sash, doors, blinds and mouldings, dealer in pine, hemlock and hardwood lumber, Toronto : I have much pleasure in stating that I have found the CANADA LUMBERMAN AND Woop-WorkKER of very great service to my business; I consider it a medium that was greatly needed in the interests of the producer and consumer of lumber, and I think both parties have benefited by its publication. It gives a great deal of valuable information to the manufacturers and dealers in lumber, and assists them in many ways, through making known to each other their requirements in your columns. J. C. PrescoTt, lumber manufacturer, Albert, Albert Co., N.B.: I don’t know that I have any suggestions to make toward the betterment of THE LUMBERMAN. It is all right as itis. As all of my lumber, or about all of it, goes to foreign markets, the CANADA LuM- BERMAN as an advertising medium ‘is quite an advan- tage tome in keeping me posted in regard to the markets, etc. I hope it will continue to prosper and will do all I can to further its interests. Jones Bros., Katrine Station, Ont.: We are pleased at your appreciation of continuous support as you put it, but we assure you that no thanks are due us—“ the shoe is on the other foot.’ The CANADA LUMBERMAN is all right and improving all the time, and must bea heip or become almost a necessity to all lumbermen. Hoping that continued success and improvement will be yours, and that all your subscribers will carefully examine their labels to save you the trouble of draw- ing their attention to it. JAMES SHEPPARD & Son, dressed lumber, mouldings, etc., Sorel, Que.: that the CANADA LUMBERMAN is an up-to-date journal as far as the lumber business is concerned, and is We have much pleasure in stating We have frequently used columns, and they inidiopeuaeHte to Jumbermen. the ‘‘For Sale” and ‘‘ Inquiry ” have always been satisfactory to us. S. ANGLIN & Co., lumber merchants, Kingston, Ont.: We always find something of interest and profit in your Weekly and Monthly. ALEx. McCooL, lumber manufacturer, Pembroke, Ont.: Regarding the merits of your journal, I must say I could not suggest anything in the way of improve- ment. I have been a subseriber to THE CanaDA Lum- BERMAN AND WoopworKER for over twelve years, and I hope to continue on, as the paper is always full of valuable information. It should be in the hands of every man connected with the lumber business, also every foreman, mill-wright, filer and sawyer. A. E. ALexaANDER & SON, hardware merchants, Campbellton, N.B.: Have taken your journal for some time and like it well. As sickness forced me to quit the active lumber business four years ago, I don’t take as much interest as formerly, but still I will continue to be a subscriber and would not wish to be without it. GEORGE LEIGHTON, dealer in lumber, lath and shin- gles, Harriston, Ont.: I receive the CANADA LUMBER- MAN regularly and am very much pleased with it. I fully believe that every lumberman and dealer should be a constant reader of it, as it is a great benefit to them in their business. With best wishes for your continued success. Tue Horwoop LumMBER Co., LIMITED, St. John’s, N’fl’d: We like your lumber journal very much and find its perusal a constant pleasure and profit. R. NicHorson, dealer in lumber, manufacturer of sash, doors, mouldings, etc., Strathroy, Ont.: I am pleased to say that I find your paper very interesting to me as it keeps me informed of prices, etc. It is a paper no lumberman should be without. A. K. Van Wyck, Banner planing mill and saw mill, Parkhill, Ont.: I have always, regarded your publica- tion as indispensable to mill men. It certainly con- tains a world of information that cannot be got with- out it. Wishing you success beyond your expecta- tions. CANADA FURNITURE MANUFACTURERS, LIMITED, Woodstock, Ont.: Your paper has been coming to our office continuously for the last ten or twelve years, and we are very much pleased to say that we read it with a great deal more carefulness than several othe publications for which we subscribe. We have ob- tained a great deal of valuable information, and we find that its market quotations are safeguards in re- gard to the prevailing prices and conditions of the lumber market. Hoping that. in future you will be attended with a full measure of commercial prosperity. CLARKE BROTHERS, lumber, Bear River, N.S.: Regarding the CANADA LUMBERMAN, we consider it the best periodical that we know of, devoted to the interests it advocates. It has always been a welcome visitor and receives careful perusal. Where it is of such uniform excellence, it is a difficult matter for us to suggest anything in the way of improvement. H. CarGILt & SON, manufacturers of and dealers in doors, sash, blinds, flooring etc., Cargill, Ont. : We have always found the CANADA LUMBERMAN of very great benefit to us in our business, sometimes getting ideas which would pay for almost innumerable sub- scriptions. We cannot suggest any improvement at this writing but will advise you should any occur to us. Unirep Facrories, Limirep, brushes, brooms and woodenware, Newmarket, Ont.: We have been taking the CANADA LUMBERMAN for a number of years, and mis keeping its patrons fully posted: with all bine while we are not at present directly interested in ‘ek manufacture of lumber as we were at the time we first subscribed for your paper, yet we consume a very © large quantity of lumber in our factories.

LittLe, Westmount, Que.: I take the greatest pleasure in saying that Ihave the highest opinion of the merits of the CANADA LUMBERMAN as a trade paper. In every respect it appears to me to be an admirable publication. Its weekly issues giving the price lists of all important lumber markets must be of great value to all those engaged in manufacturing, while the monthly issue always contains matter of interest and value to all lumbermen, and being well printed on good paper and of convenient size, and all supplied for the moder- ate price of one dollar a year, I cannot see wherein it can be improved. A complete file of the CANADA LUMBERMAN will be found to contain a fair account of alt important matters relating to the Canadian lumber industry for the past quarter of a century, during all of which time it has been to me a most welcome visitor. With best wishes for the continued prosperity of the CANADA LUMBERMAN. Beech as a hardwood flooring is coming to the front rapidly, and inasmuch as the supply of beech in the Southern States appears to be more plentiful than the supply of plain maple in the north, it is beginning to look like it will quite extensively replace maple. High- grade beech flooring is selling for practically the same price as maple right along, and it is claimed that in some respects it is a superior wood. However this may be, the fact remains that beech flooring is coming to the front, and in so doing has materially increased the market value of good beech lumber. COLLINGWOOD DECEMBER 8TH.

The uncertainty regarding.the legal status of the timber laws of British Columbia continues to be the subject of discussion, and during the past month developments of rather an interest- ing character have occurred. On the ground that Mr. J. S. Emerson intended to export a boom of logs in contravention of the law pro- hibiting such export, Government officials seized his tugs, logging equipment and logs, the pur- pose of such action being that the legality of the law prohibiting the export of timber might be tested. Mr. legal action to compel the release of the logs on the ground that the act did not apply to logs cut under a hand-logger’s license and also that Emerson immediately took the Government could produce no evidence that the logs were to be exported. Judge Henderson decided against Mr. Emer- son on the main issue, but at the same time allowed him to come out of the legal fight virtually the victor. He held that the act legal- ly applied to logs cut under a hand-logger’s license, but that there was no right justifying a seizure or forfeiture on a mere declaration that Mr. Emerson intended to export the logs with- out first manufacturing them into lumber. It is altogether probable that the Government will appeal against the decision in respect to seizure, while Mr. Emerson is believed to be in favor of testing the export law in the higher courts. The clause under which the Government ‘*All timber cut from Provincial lands must be manufactur- seized the logs reads as follows: ed within the confines of the province of Brit- ish Columbia, otherwise the timber so cut may be seized and forfeited to the Crown and the lease cancelled.” As the result of the claim that this clause applied only to timber cut under leases and permitted the export of in 1903 providing that all other timber, the Government passed an _ order-in-Council timber cut under special license should also be manufactured in the province. It was no doubt the original intention of the Government to prohibit entirely the export of timber from the province, as is done in Ontario, but the wording of the act left room for doubt as to its application, and the order-in-Council was ac- cordingly adopted. This left only the rights of the hand-logger to be determined and the controversy which has now been commenced between the Government and Mr. will likely bring about a decision in this respect which will finally dispose of the points in dispute which have unsettled the logging industry of British Columbia for some time Emerson ast. 5 Sympathy for Mr. Emerson is not lacking, as it is felt that the timber laws of British Columbia have been rendered somewhat vague by the numerous amendments that have been made thereto. CANADA’S TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA. A special report has been made to the Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa, dealing with the possibilities of the Australian market tor British Columbia lumber. While Washington and Oregon lumbermen are keen- ly exploiting that market, we are told that British Columbia manufacturers are making little effort and do not enjoy even a fair pro- portion of the Australian trade. The report urges that the lumber exported to that market be carefully manufactured and graded, under which conditions it should compete success- fully with the United States product. In this connection we wish to refer to the excellent work which was done by Mr. J. S. Larke, Canadian Commercial Agent in Austra- lia, during his recent visit to Canada. Mr. Larke told the business people of this country some very plain facts, among these that the annual imports into Australia are about $250,- 000,000 in value. Canadians, in Mr. Larke’s opinion, should supply a much larger pro- portion of this trade, as the Australians are imperialists and with all other conditions equal would prefer trading within the empire. A preferential tariff, better transportation facili- ties and export houses with capital, are given as the three essentials in the development of trade between this country and the Antipodes. Many of the statesmen in Australia are in.- favor of a preferential tariff, and Mr. Larke believes that a preferential arrangement could be arranged. Mr. Larke says that tranportation is the key of foreign business and urges the Canadian manufacturers to work together with the object of securing low freight rates from the railways on export shipments, also a monthly steamship service between Eastern Canada and Australia. It is of no value to the Australian to know that the Canadian manufacturer pro- duces goods cheaper than his foreign com- petitors if this is more than counterbalanced by the disparity in freight rates. Not one- tenth of the Canadian exports to Australia go by way of Vancouver, the bulk being through New York and Liverpool, which. makes a tremendous difference in freights. of the timber supply of their district & v . a 2h ’ : : i" . + Obs AR ’ Sige. “f b ‘7 N- « ow | he ae Mr. Larke’s advice that Canada cannot d ° business in Australia by postage stamp is 1 Os the point. Our manufacturers should first advertise their goods, and follow this” up, where the business is large enough to warkeaell it, by sending their own expert agent tan represent them. When this is not feasible, — several manufacturers in kindred but not com-— petitive lines, should join together and send out an agent to represent them. Business has been lost in the past by carelessness in t manufacture and packing of goods, and points out that special pains should be wie 4 in packing goods for a water bisa of several thousand miles. Se LUMBER TRADE EXPANSION. The lumber industry of Canada is being developed upon most satisfactory lines. T to the foresight of the Provincial Governments — in prohibiting the export of the raw forest product to the United States, our manufactur- ing capacity has increased perhaps 50 per c ; within the last ten years. During this peri one feature has been strikingly appare namely, the large number of United St manufacturers who have transferred their b of operations to this country. Not only ha they invested extensively in timber limits, ; they have established large saw mills” ee wood-working plants and are applying those | thorough business methods which make lum- bermen more than mere ‘‘hewers of wood” — and by which every dollar is got out of the — timber that it is capable of yielding. Many o of the saw mills in Ontario are now owned and operated by former residents of the Unit States, while at the présent time American : capitalists are investing largely in Bri z Columbia timber limits. These investments, 7% it is satisfactory to know, are not being m from a speculative standpoint, but with - intention of securing the raw material for saw- — milling establishments. While we welcome American capitalis we this country under such conditions, we be. ve that Canadians are missing golden opportuni ee ties and: permitting Americans to outdo the in securing possession of our valuable iorelae Being accustomed to a as, iat consequent extinction of the saw - mi industry. te ae A bulletin issued by the forestry division the Department of Agriculture says amount of woodannually consumed in the Un ed States for packing boxes and baskets ca not be given in exact figures, but it is greater than is generally realized.

A meeting of the manufacturers of cooper- age stock was held in Toronto on October 31st, for the purpose of discussing trade conditions and to endeavor to devise some practical plan to increase the consumption of barrels and to manufacture cooperage stock at prices that would induce the consumers to use barrels. The following manufacturers were present: —James Innes, Sutherland - Innes Company, Chatham; W.H. Matthews, Trenton; John Cooper, Tupperville; F. H. Lawrence, Watford; W B. Cargill, Cargill; Neil Watson, Mayor of Mull, Ont.; J. R. Reaume, Essex; Mr. F. H. LAWRENCE, Who has been Appointed to Organize the Cooperage Stock Manufacturers. J. P. McAllister, Guelph; R. M. Pincombe, Strathroy; W. A. Burt, Toronto; G. S. Zimmerman, Tavistock ; John Anderson, Wallaceburg, and J. C. Sheppard, Tilsonburg. Letters from a number of others expressed sympathy with the project. It appears that the tendency of the past few years has been in the direction of using other packages than barrels for sugar, flour, apples and other commodities. Owing to the scarcity of elm timber, and the improved demand for hardwood lumber generally, there has been keen competition in the buying of timber by the different manufacturers, the result of which has been to increase the price of cooperage _ stock considerably, and consequently the price of barrels also. The manufacturers hope, by ‘agreeing upon a uniform price to be paid for timber, to be able to sell their cooperage stock at more reasonable prices and also to prevent the wide fluctuations which have sometimes taken place. The plan under consideration is the incor- poration of a joint stock company, with a capital of, probably $100,000, to which each Me _ manufacturer will subscribe according to the It is believed that such would ‘effect a considerable COOPERAGE STOCK TOPIC 3 7 S mee THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 19 eI saving in the cost of marketing the production of the different mills. The control of the out- put is another question which will likely be considered by the proposed organization. The headquarters of the company will be in To- ronto. THE MANUFACTURE OF HOOPS. Since elm timber has become scarce and the first quality high in price, manufactures of hoops are facing a serious problem. It is generally conceded that hoops, as well as other cooperage stock, should be sold at a reasonable price, and manufacturers interested in the permanent trade desire to keep the values consistent with that of staves and heading, especially since the wire hoops have made such Good elm lumber commands a fair price, and the serious encroachments of late years. veneer concerns of the north are using a great deal of the elm timber, for which they often pay fancy figures. With the exception of a few manufacturers in Michigan, there are no concerns holding large quantities of elm timber or timbered lands, and it is commonly admitted that small factories, temporarily located where tracts of elm timber can be found, are better propositions than more permanent institutions. Starting with the purchasing and cutting of timber, there are many opportunities for mis- takes and losses before the manufactured hoop is loaded into the car. ber must be bought in the right quality. Though some trees show green leaves and are apparently in good condition, many are, at the same time, so old that they are nota profitable investment for hoop timber. Dry rot has set in, and especially near the heart, the wood is a total waste. Second-growth hard elm generally makes a very poor hoop. In the saw mill such timber cannot be separated into stave bolts and hoop plank, as can many logs having common de- fects, but the entire piece is often unfit for hoops and had better be left in the woods. Many manufacturers make a mistake by let- ting timber stand too long. Recently there was a discussion among some manufacturers relative to dead timber, one claiming that it could not be coiled, but the fact is that hoops made from logs that have practically lost their life can, in many cases, be coiled, and we have seen such hoops put on the yard, apparently sound, but break afterward in the coil while being seasoned. For this reason inspection of the coils of hoops when the stock is being loaded is very essential, as defects of this kind are apt to be overlooked by the inspector be- hind the coilers. Proper sawing of the plank is necessary to get out the timber to the best advantage, and a great waste caused by uneven plank is often noticed. For instance, it will run from 13% inches to 144 inches instead of being sawed just right and kept within 1-16 of an inch of the In the first place, tim- - proper thickness. A variation of more than this amount is not necessary if the saw mill is a good one and the operators are experienced. As in staves, many of the defects in hoops “ean be.traced to improper steaming or boiling. There has been much discussion as to whether boiling or steaming the plank is the most ad- Either process will bring good results if properly carried out, but the most vantageous. essential feature is to have the plank thoroughly cooked and the knife sharp. Otherwise, the timber will be shattered and, of course, will not work or coil with as low a per cent. of breakage. The proper planing and lapping of a hoop determines its general appearance and is a part of the manufacture often given too little The bits should be kept very sharp and ground many times, even though it attention. costs a little more to supply the new ones. Recently we have noticed some hoops which were defective on account of not having a thin lap, or in some cases none at all. We have known keg hoops to break in the coil and in tressing because they were lapped over each other in the coil, a dent in the hoop resulting its contact with the blunt end of the hoop next to it which should have been lapped to a thin edge. Even if damage on this ac- count is not common, coopers prefer a hoop from that is properly lapped and it costs little more to keep the saws in their proper position and in condition to do good work, both at the point and the lap of the hoop. In coiling stock it is often noticed that mill men permit the coilers to use a stick or an iron bar across the boiling vat and to take out a large bundle of hoops with a hook, allowing them to rest onthe support while being coiled. This plan is not a bad one provided a few hoops at a time are taken out of the water. If a trial is made you will be surprised to see how much the coilers are allowed to cool their hoops in this manner in order to work them easily. breakage increases where Many manufacturers have boys to inspect the coils before loading on the wagons or trol- leys, and the work is done in a very careless manner. The position is really a very impor- tant one, and should not be held by an incom- petent person. The short hoops, as well as the long hoops, should be gone over carefully, _and if every hoop that shows a defect is re- moved enough will be left in that cannot be seen or that will develop in seasoning to cover the 2 or 3 per cent. allowed for breakage and loss. We have noticed at some plants that enough help is not employed to properly cull the hoops at the coilers during a run on par- ticularly bad timber, possibly while working up some logs that had lain too long and when the breakage was excessive for a short time in the mill. Assistance should be given the regu- lar coiler in such cases or .the hoops piled to one side to be worked over at odd times. Hoops, to be properly piled on the yard, should be put on platforms not less than one foot above the ground to keep them away from the excessive moisture of the earth and grass and to more easily allow circulation. When properly seasoned, they should be taken in un- der cover and not allowed to remain exposed to rains and sun until they are over-seasoned, often becoming brash as well as discolored.— W. C.

To the casual observer, it seems a pity that so much excellent fuel must be destroyed, when such extensive territory lies only a few miles to the east, where the fuel question is of so great importance. The reason for not shipping this fuel to the Territories is given by the rolls into the slasher chains, where it is carried through six large slasher saws and cut up into four foot lengths. It is then dumped into the lath mill conveyor, where the lath stock is picked out, after which the waste is conveyed to the burner. The filing and saw fitting room is especially worthy of notice.

This department has a separate power plant, which furnishes steam for the twoimmense dry kilns, from which 50,000 feet of kiln-dried lumber is being discharged daily. The entire output of flooring, ceiling and siding is put into this kiln direct from the saws, and is dried, manufactured, and in No. 1 shipping condition forty-eight hours after having been taken from the mill pond. The planing mill is equipped with every up-to-date appliance and is operated night and day. One of the most complete electric light plants in British Columbia has been installed, and is operated from this de- partment. Every part of the company’s premises is lighted—the yards and mills by arc lights, and the buildings, from cellar to hay mow, by incandescent lamps. The shipping platform is in charge of Mr. W.J.

The loading facilities are such that fitteen cars can be loaded at one time, and dropped by gravity into the railway yards. The Company’s lumber yards are located and arranged so that the lumber can be handled with the greatest ease. The ground compris- ing the lumber yard consists of about forty acres, which slopes gradually to the south and towards the loading platform, thus making the drying and seasoning of lumber accomplished very conveniently. The Company’s water supply is obtained from a mountain stream about two miles from the mill, where a dam has been constructed and a six-inch main laid to the mill site and distributed through the lumber yard, mills, and all other buildings. , This assures at all times a full supply of pure water for all purposes. The mill pond has been taken out of the Kootenay river through a channel running behind an island, which has been improved by the construction of a dam at the outlet of this channel, at a cost of $12,000. Forty large piers have also been constructed for booming purposes in the Kootenay river. The capacity of the mill pond proper is about six million feet of logs. A storage boom has been constructed about six miles above Wardner in the Kootenay river, for the purpose of holding the entire drive, which is expected to reach thirty million feet of logs in the spring of 1906. The Company’s timber supply is exclusively from the Kootenay river and tributaries. Over one hundred thousand acres of timber is controlled by the company, the most of which is of excellent quality, and is esimated to supply the mill to its full capacity for forty years. It consists chiefly of larch, cedar, spruce and yellow pine. Logging operations are now carried on ex- tensively. The field of operations is divided into two districts: The St. Marys river dis- trict is in charge of Mr. Edward Feagan. Two large camps, equipped for one hundred men each, are now in full swing, together with a number of jobbers and smaller camps. Ten million feet of logs will be driven out of the St. Marys river this season, including 100,000 railroad ties. The Kootenay river district is in charge of Mr. David Breckenridge, who is operating two large camps in the Skookumchuck dis- trict, where about two hundred and fifty men ALLEY No. 68, IN THE LUMBER YARD. will be employed throughout the season, to- gether with a number of smaller camps and jobbers. Messrs. Carlin & Doyle, of Fort Steele, have a large camp located on Sheep Creek, about forty miles north of Fort Steele, where fifty men are employed. About three million feet of logs will be supplied from this source. About one hundred men will be employed in the spring for the purpose of driving these logs to the mill. The Company have now un- der consideration the construction of a large steamboat for the purpose of transporting supplies and men to their logging, camps on the Upper Kootenay river.

Mr. Lund, with his partner, Mr. Breckenridge, is also interested largely in a number of retail lumber and fuel companies throughout the - province of Alberta. Mr. Lund was asked to explain the reason of the neatness of the premises, and the general harmony prevailing throughout, his answer being that he had the best lot of men in Canada.

The North Star Lumber Company have installed an entirely new system for loading cars at their Cranbrook mill. A long platform ~~ has been built, extending from the edger saw out in the yard about five car lengths. On this has been erected a system of live trans- fer rolls which carry the lumber directly from the saws to the cars, where, by an automatic arrangement, the boards are raised off the live rolls which have been carrying them forward and, being brought in contact with a chain carrier running at right angles to the rolls, they are carried off the platform and dumped into the freight cars which have been hauled up alongside. | By this method three men can do what it takes seven or eight men to do in the old way of yard delivery, one man being employed in oiling the rolls, keeping the run- ning gear in order and releasing any congestion of the lumber that may occur in transit, while the other two men are engaged in directly handling the lumber as it is automatically dumped into the cars on which it is conveyed The system is entirely new in British Columbia and was installed under the supervision of Mr. J. M. Sissosn. About 50,000 feet of lumber can be easily and conveniently loaded in one day by this method, it being possible, owing to the length of the system of rolls, to load five cars in succession without moving any. to the company’s planing mill at Elko. FIGHTING FOREST FIRES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. Mr. Alex. McRae, forest ranger at Revel- stoke, B.C., thus refers to the efforts of the Dominion Government to protect the timber lands in British Columbia: ‘‘My district covers from Beaver on the east to Sicamous on the west and from Arrowhead on the south to Carnes creek on the north. Weemployed from time to time over 100 men and fought over 58 fires. We got them all out before they caused very much damage but three which got beyond our control for a period of about a week, per-: haps.

Thus we getat a once on the ground, and you know, prevention = is better than cure.

In Toronto building is still active, which is. sustaining the retail de- mand for !umber. The mills are moving stock by rail as rapidly as possible, but the inability of the railways to supply a sufficient num- ber of cars is causing much incon- terial. venience. Prices of lumber are quite as firm as last week and promise to con- tinue on a strong basis, as the ag- gregate quantity of pine and hem- lock stock in first hands is very moderate. The hardwood trade is rather featureless. The recent dis- cussicn of the. comparatively low ptice of basswood has, it is said, caused a little buying in some r : : : , quarters, but values-show no incli- nation to advance. Lath are strong and the white pine variety very scarce. ‘‘ It is impossible to find a firm who have a stock on hand” is the report which reaches us from Ottawa. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. More general strength character- izes the lumber market of the East- ern Provinces than at any previous time this year. Negotiations in connection with next year’s business suggest the probability of shippers asking higher prices for waney pine timber, while there is also a dis- position to hold birch timber for better prices. As the British market has now fallen into line, there is no weakness anywhere, and indications point to an all-round improvement in trade., There has been a sharp advance in freight rates from St. John by the winter steamers, as, owing to the better demand, ship- pers are anxious to send forward as many deals as possible. The spruce shipments from that port up to the end of October were 140,436,544 superficial feet, as compared with 152,738,255 feet in 1904. The birch shipments were 6, 188,709 feet, as against 4,802,545 feet last year. There has been a good demand for birch planks at very satisfactory prices. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. There is little falling off in the demand for lumber building purposes and most of the mills have a considerable number of orders on their books. There is plenty of stock, however, to supply the requirements, and, statements to the contrary notwithstanding, no price changes are likely to be witnessed during the next few weeks. It may be that later on the mills will be compelled to advance their quotations owing to the high cost of logs. for Fir logs are now selling in Vancouver at from $7 to $8.50, and as the supply is by no means plentiful, higher prices in the near future are predicted. It is under- KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont.

This would enable the surplus product to be worked off. taneously UNITED STATES. The lumber demand is still quite insistant and apparently there are plenty of people who are will- ing to buy lumber at present prices for other than immediate require- ments. The condition of stocks is such as to remove any hope of lower prices during the winter months, while if the consumption should the present enlarged volume, it is not unlikely that some classes of stock at least will be advanced before the spring. continue at Nearly all the northern pine product. has passed out of first hands, and still the railroads and car builders are in need of stock. There is hardly any limit to the price that can be obtained for spruce for prompt delivery, but the average price may be said to be $26 for 1o and 12 inch dimension and $24 for 9 inch and under, Boston delivery. Hemlock is strong, prices for piece stuff in the Saginaw Valley ranging from $13 up, according to length. The hardwood is still somewhat unsatisfactory, but ap- pears to be slowly Wisconsin dealers report a good demand for maple, rock elm and birch, and basswood is doing better than earlier in the year, although that is not saying much. situation mending.

The market has apparently taken a turn for the better, the light stocks no doubt being an influence in bringing about this change. The stock of pitch pine at Liverpool, for instance, is only 346,000 cubic feet, as against 815,000 cubic feet last year, while at Manchester it is only 178,000 cubic feet, as against 439,- ooo cubic feet last year. Shippers are asking from 67s. 6d. to 7os. per load as aginst 52s. paid last year. Spruce and whitewood are still on the rise and eagerly sought after. The shortage in these lumbers is also very marked and promises to be still more pronounced before new arrivals next year. For 3x11 inch unassorted spruce, £9 I0s. per standard was recently realized at auction, the 3x9 inch bringing 49 5S., prices which are considered as verysatisfactory. Thereis a splendid demand for birch planks at advancing prices, and the scarcity of sawn laths at the mills in Sweden has caused a sharp rise in the prices of these goods. Some shippers are asking 1034d. c.i.f. London. No business for next year has been closed so far as can be learned.

SPRUCE LATH HAVE SOARED. For the past few months there has been almost unprecedented activity in spruce lath at advancing prices and the present indications are that the top has not yet been reached. Boston and New York have been bidding for the supply, the prices at these points being $4:50 to $4.60 for 15% inch, $4.25 to $4.35 for 144 inch, and $4 for 13g inch. Many buyers, however, have paid the same price for 1% inch as for .15 inch in order to get supplies. Shipments of lath from New Brunswick have been limited only by the capacity ofthe mills. Every mill owner who has had the equip- ment has been sawing laths and several new mills have been put Into commission. It is estimated that there will be produced in New Brunswick and Maine this winter about two hundred million of lath. The Scott Lumber Company, of Fredericton, N. B., are installing two machines in their new mill, each of which will have a capacity of about 35,000 per day. This company are reported to have closed contracts for from eight to ten million to be shipped into the in- terior of Connecticut. As showing the exceptional activity which prevails in this branch of the lumber industry in New Brunswick, it may be stated ‘that 15 mills will be in operation These are: Summerfield, in Carleton County.

The present prices warrant the manufacture of lath from almost any kind of timber, although small growths of spruce is the kind usually sought after. A consider- able quantity of 24 and 30-inch spruce lath has been worked up from odds and ends about the mills too short for any other use except pulp, but these sizes have not met with favor in the Boston and New York markets. In view of the present small stock of lath throughout the Eastern States, the result of a phenomenal building season, it is probable that high prices will continue during the winter months, but the probability of the market becoming overstocked through the stimulus to production which has been given by the high prices should not be overlooked by manufacturers.

Birch planks, says the Timber News of Liverpool, Eng., have gone the notch higher, a good line having been placed to London at 48 tos. c.i.f. for shipment from St. John promptly, we understand. Sales have been made to Liverpool, where treights generally are a shade lower, at 48 5s. c.i.f. for St. John ship- ment, with Halifax a shade lower than this price. Glasgow has not as yet responded to improved values. Weare inclined to think that £8 10s., c.i.f.,is the high-water mark, and that shippers and manufac- turers will not be wise in trying to force c.i.f. values above this figure, which gives them a fair return, otherwise the impetus which high prices give to production may put supply above demand and cause the inevitable. Concessions for spring shipments will likely be made, but it is too early, with the data we at present have, to form an opinion, as much will depend on the winter and what quantity of logs can be got out and hauled to the mills. We hear a good deal of no con- sumption. It will therefore be in- teresting to give and compare the figures for the 10 months of this year with the two previous years for the port of Liverpool, as culled from the brokers’ stock sheets. The figures given are: Consumption, 572,000 cub. ft. for this year, 289,- ooo cub. ft. for last year, and 487,- 500 cub. ft. for 1903, an increase of almost double the preceding year and 85,000 cub. ft. in excess of 1903 —strange, but authentic. The indi- cations, with the improved state of the tinplate trade (who are large consumers of hardwood for boxes) and of trade generally, are more favorable than at this period last year, and it is well to bear this in mind. Prices are 2os. higher than this period last year, which must also be kept in mind. We hear of a sale of Quebec birch to London, small average, at an ad- vance on last year’s prices. BOSTON, MASS. H.

Mr. James T. Burke, Inspector of Factories for On- tario, in his annual report to the Minister of Agricul- ture, refers at some length to boiler inspection. He says: Preliminary to a boiler inspection, the boiler, flues, mud-drum, ashpit, and all connections should be thor- oughly cleaned, to facilitate a careful examination. Blisters may occur in the best iron or steel, and their presence, and also that of thin places, is ascertained by going overall parts of the boiler with a hammer. When blisters are discovered, the plates should be repaired or replaced. Repairing a blister consists in cutting out the blistered space and riveting a ‘‘hard patch” over the hole on the inside of the boiler, if pos- sible, to avoid forming a pocket for sediment. Al] seams, heads, and tube ends should be examined for leaks, cracks, corrosions, pitting and grooving, detec- tion of the latter possibly requiring the use of a mag- nifying glass. Uniform corrosion is a wasting away of the plates, and its depth can be determined only by - drilling through the plate and measuring the thick- ness, afterwards plugging the hole. Pitting is due toa local chemical action, and is readily perceived. Groov- _ ing is usually due to buckling of the plates when under pressure, and frequently to the careless use of the sharp calking tool. Seam leaks are generally caused by overheating, and demand careful examinaticn, as there may be cracks under the rivet heads. If such cracks are discovered, the seam should be cut out, and a patch rivetted on. Loose rivets should be carefully looked for, and should be cut out and replaced, if found. Pockets, or bulging, and burns should be looked for in the firebox. The former are not necessar- ily dangerous, but if there are indications of their in- creasing, they should be heated and forced back into Burns are due to low water, the presence of scales, or to the contin, uous action of flames formed on account of air leaking through the brickwork. The burned spots should be cut out and patched as previously described. The conditions of all stays, braces, and their fastenings should be examined, and defective ones replaced. The shell of the boiler should be thoroughly examined externally for evidences of corrosion, which is liable to set in on account of dampness, exposure to weather, leakage, etc.,and may be serious. The boiler should be so set that joints and seams are accessible for in- spection and should have as little brickwork in contact with it as possible. The brickwork should be in good condition, and not have air holes in it, since they de- . crease the efficiency of the boiler and are liable to cause injury to the plates by burning, as above ex- plained, and also by unevenly heating and distorting them. The mud-drum and its connections are liable to corrosion, pitting and grooving, and should be exam- ined as carefully as the boiler. All valves about a boiler should be easy of access, and should be kept clean and working freely. Each boiler should have at least three gauge cocks, properly located, and it is of the utmost importance that they be kept clean and in good order, and the same may be said of the glass water gauge. The middle gauge cock should be at the water level of the boiler, and the other two should be placed one above and one below it, at a distance of about 6 inches. The conditions of the pumps or injectors should be looked into, to make sure that they arein the best working order. The steam gauge should betested to ascertain that it indicates correctly, and if it does If the hydraulic test is of 50 per cent. higher than that at which the safety - valve will be set. EXTERNAL INSPECTION WHEN BOILER IS UNDER STEAM. The gauge cocks, and also the gauge glass, should be tried, to make sure that they are not choked. The ~ steam gauge should be taken down, if permissible, and tested, and corrected, if necessary. The gauge pointer should move freely. Blowing out the gauge connection will show whether it is clear ornot. The boiler con- nections should be examined for leaks. The safety valve should be lifted from its seat, to make sure that it does not stick from any cause, and it should be seen ‘ that the weight isin the right place. Observe from ‘must be first precipitated and then filtered. the steam gauge if the valve blows off at the pressure it is set for. See that all pumps and feed apparatus are working properly, and that the blow-off and check valves arein goodorder. Blisters and bagging may sometimes be detected in the furnace. The condition of the brickwork is of considerable importance, since the existing of air-holes is a source of trouble, as already explained. INCRUSTATION. One of the chief sources of trouble to the boiler user is that of incrustation. All water is more or less impure; and as the water in the boiler is continuously evaporated, the impurities are left behind as powder or sediment. This collects on the plates, forming a scaly deposit, varying in nature from a spongy, friable texture to a hard, stony one. This deposit impedes the transmission of heat from the plates to the water and often causes overheating and injury to the plates. The various impurities in the water may be either in suspension or solution. If the former, the water can be purified by filtration before going into the boiler. If the latter, the substances Many impurities may be removed by heating the water before feeding it into the boiler. The first thing to do, when dealing with a water supply,.is to have an analysis of it made by a competent chemist. The fact that water contains a certain amount of solid matter is no criter- ion as to its unfitness for boiler use. The presence of certain salts, as carbonate or chloride of sodium, even in large quantities, would not be serious if due atten- tion were given to the blowing off. On the other hand, salts of lime in the above proportion would be very objectionable, requiring greatly increased atten- tion in the matter of purification and blowing off or else cleansing out. The various methods of dealing with impure water may be classed as follows : 1. FILTRATION. Where the matter is held in sus- pension, it can be removed, before the water enters the boiler, by the aid of settling tanks or by filtering, or by forcing the water up through layers of sand, broken brick, etc., or by using filtering cloths ina proper machine. 2. CHEMICAL TREATMENT. Clark’s process com- bined with a frequent filtration (the joint process being known asthe Atkins system), has been successfully applied on small and large scales in the chalk districts of England. Lime water is mixed with the water to be purified, the amount used depending on the compo- sition of the water as determined by a careful analysis. The lime is thus precipitated, and the water is then filtered in a machine containing travelling cotton cloths. Not only is the carbonate of lime entirely removed, but it has been proved that any sulphate of lime that may be present is also prevented from incrusting. This is important, as the latter impurity forms, perhaps, the worst scale one has to contend with. Various chemical compounds are in use for boilers. Carbonate of soda is perhaps the best general remedy. It forms the basis, in fact, of nearly all boiler com- This soda deals efficaciously both with the carbonate and the sulphate of lime. The precipitates thus thrown down do not form a hard crust; they can be washed out in the form of a sludge or mud. Carbonate of soda is also useful where condensers are employed, as it counteracts the effect of the grease, which is brought over with the exhaust steam. If used in too large quantities, it will cause priming. The best way to use it is to make a solution of it and connect with the feed, fixing a cock soas to regulate the amount fedin. Soda ashes is much cheaper, but more of it is required, and, besides, it is generally impure. Caustic soda removes lime scale quicker than ordinary soda does, but it is much stronger and liable to attack the plates. It should be used in smaller quan- tities than the ordinary kind. Barks, molasses, vinegar, etc., develop acids that attack the plates. “Animal and vegetable oils do the same, and also harden the deposits, and make their removal more difficult. Itisa good rule to keep all animal and vegetable matter out of boilers altogether. FEED-WATER HEATERS. Carbonates and sulphates of lime are precipitated by high temperatures. The heaters should be arranged so that the deposit forms chiefly on a series of plates that can be easily removed pounds, whatever their name or appearance. for cleaning. If the deposit gathers in pipes, however it is simply transferring the evil from one vessel to another. A double advantage is gained by these heaters, for the feed water is put into the boiler already heated, and so fuel is saved. MECHANICAL Arps. Deposits take place chiefly in sluggish places. Various devices to aid circulation have been brought out. With good attention anda not too impure water, they give satisfactory results. Potatoes, linseed oil, molasses, etc., are sometimes put into the boiler with the idea of lessening scale for- mation, by forming a kind of coating around the par- ticles of solid matter and so preventing their adhering together. This certainly takes place, but the sub- stances are injurious, as already pointed out. When- ever a boiler has been cleaned out, we may with ad- vantage give the inside a thin coating of oil, or tallow and black lead ; this arrests the incrustation to a great extent. Sand, sawdust, etc., are often used, the idea being that their grains act as centres for the gathering together of the solid matter in the water, the resulting small masses not readily collecting together themselves being easily washed out. This may be so, but the cocks, valves, etc., are liable to suffer from the prac- tice. Kerosene is strongly recommended by some boiler users. There is no doubt that in many cases its use has given good results. It prevents incrustation, by coating the particles of matter with a thin covering of oil, the deposit thus formed being easily blown out. The oil also seems to act on the scale already formed, breaking it up and thus facilitating its removal. As already remarked, it is a good plan, when the boiler is empty, to give the inside a good coating of this oil, afterward putting it in with the feed, the supply being regulated automatically. As to the quantity required, this will be found to vary in different cases, according to the nature of the water; an average of one quart per day for every 100 horse power will give good results in most cases. In marine boilers, strips of zinc are often suspended; the deposit often settles on them instead of on the boiler plates. Also, any scale that may be formed on the latter is less hard and compact and more easily broken up. Further, any acids formed by the oil and grease brought over from the condenser attack this zinc instead of the boiler plates. MISCELLANEOUS. Acids are often introduced into boilers to dissolve the scale already formed, the solid matter then being washed out. This treatment should be adopted with great care if atall, asthe plates are likely to be affected. Scale is often loosened and broken up by deliberately inducing sudden expansion or contraction in the boiler. In the former case, the expansion is brought about by blowing off the boiler, and then, whenit is quite cooled down, turning on steam at as high a temperature as obtainable, thus. causing the scale to expand more quickly than the plates and thus become loose. In the second method, the boiler is blown off when the steam is at its highest, and a stream of cold water ~ is then turned in. The fires are then drawn, and the fire-hole doors, dampers, etc., opened, letting in a rush of cold air. All this cools the plates, and, by the con- traction thus brought about, loosens the scale. These two practices should be guarded against. Foaming or priming is usually due either to forcing a boiler beyond its capacity for furnishing dry steam, or to the presence offoreign matter. It is dangerous if occurring to any great extent, since water may be carried along with steam into the engine, and a cylinder head knocked out. it cannot be checked by the use of the surface blow-out apparatus, may necessitate the emptying of the boiler, which must then be filled with fresh water; this rids the boiler of the impurities that have collected during the operation of the boiler.

Sad, indeed, was the tragic death of Mr. Kilgour Shives, manager of the Shives Lumber Company, Campbellton, N.B. Sincere sorrow was felt through- out the province, and especially in the district in which he lived, for all who knew him realized his great worth. Mr. Shives, in company with Mr. MacLean, his mill- wright, went up the river towards the lumber camps of the firm, and while walking through the woods, the trigger of a rifle he was carrying was caught by the brush and the charge set off. The bullet entered Mr. Shives’ body on the right side, passing clean through the body and coming out just below the heart. unfortunate man remained conscious fo° a short time, but fully realizing his condition, gave directions con- cerning his business and a last word of farewell for his wife and family. - ; The. most important of its kind in the province, and was a few years ago turned into a joint stock company, of, which Col. Cutler, of Stetson, Cutler & Company, is president. The company own very extensive timber limits both in New Brunswick and Quebec. In addition to his lumbering operations, Mr. Shives was one of the promoters of the Restigouche and Western Railroad, of which he was president for two years. Since it became the International Railroad he has been president for three years, holding this position — at the time of his death. These were the only two enterprises in which he was engaged. In his earlier life Mr. Shives was an active member of the milita, and was noted as being one of the best shots in the province—a gift which is possessed in an almost equal degree by his sons. He was on several occasions a member of the Wimbledon team, and has won many prizes in both England and Canada. Mr. Shives married Miss Minnie Mills, daughter or the late William Mills, of St. John. They had five children, all of whom survive. od A word to the reader: Send us a contribution for the January number.

He may, however, handle some lumber in a wholesale way. Mr. W. S. Gore, who for thirty years has been Dep- uty Commissioner of Lands and Works for British Columbia, has retired from the service and has been succeeded by Mr. N. F. McKay, who has been private secretary to the Premier. Mr. Gore is one of the oldest officials in the civil service and is held in high esteem. Mr. Robert Moore, who has represented Pettibone & Douglas, lumber exporters, Polo, Illinois, for several years, and has resided at Gravenhurst, Ont., in which district he has become widely known among lumber- men, has removed to 131 Gladstone avenue, Toronto. He will continue to represent the above named firm, who make extensive shipments to Great Britain. The death occurred on October 26th of Mr. Michael Purtle, of the McInnes & Purtle Lumber Company, of Elkmouth, B.C. Deceased contracted. a cold by getting wet while engaged in his work, which was fol- lowed by an attack of typhoid fever that resulted in his demise after but ten days illness. The late Mr. Purtle hailed from Sussex, N.B., where he gained his first experience in the lumber business, which he followed all his life. Coming to British Columbia one year ago, he formed a partnership with Mr. McInnes in July last and immediately took an active interest in the busi- ness. The remains were embalmed and shipped back to his brother, Mr. Dennis Purtle, of Sussex. Mr. Pur- tle was a widower and leaves a daughter twelve years of age.

It would indeed be interesting to know the quantity of timber that is lying at the bottom of the rivers, lake and creeks in Canada on which lumbering operations have been con- ducted. There are doubtless many millions of feet, which, if recovered, would be worth a large sum of money. Propositions looking to the re- covery of some of this timber have been consid- ered, but one of the drawbacks seems to be the absence ofasalvage law in respect tosunken logs. Asis well known, nearly all logs bear the hammer mark of the owner and would therefore legally be his property when recovered. Another person raising them would have no guarantee of a return for his labors unless by previous arrangement with the owner. If there existed a salvage law by which, under certain conditions defined therein, the logs would become the property of the person raising them, we believe there would soon develop considerable activity in this direction. Where certain firms have carried on lumber- ing operations on a stream for a number of years, it would seem to be advisable, even in the absence of a _ salvage law, to take united action towards the recovery of the sunker logs, as timber is now too valuable to be left lying in the beds of streams if it can be recovered by reasonable efforts. DEATH OF WINNIPEG LUMBERMEN. Within a couple of weeks the grim reaper, Death, has made sad havoc at Winnipeg among the lumber fraternity. What rendets it espe- cially sad was that in the death of three of these lumbermen the Order of Hoo-Hoo loses three good members, whilst all of them were young men—men who had been looked upon as among the coming generation of western business men. The first was Daniel Lewis Lincoln (Hoo- Hoo No. 9980), who has been buyer for the Imperial Elevator Company, at Winnipeg, for some years. His health suddenly failed, tuberculosis developed, and he went to Pueblo, Colorado, where he died. He was buried at his former home in Livermore, Iowa. ‘‘Dan,” as he was familiarly called, was formerly buyer for the J. & W.C. Shull Lumber Company, Minneapolis, and a splendid young business man. The Hoo-Hoo sent a beautiful wreath and resolution of regret to his family. ’ Thaddeus R. Case (Hoo-Hoo No. 5715), of Winnipeg, Man., died suddenly on November 1oat Calgary. The cause of Mr. Case’s demise was heart failure and suffocation. He wasa member of the firm of Case & Chandler, of Winnipeg, and later of the J.C. Graham Lum- ber Company, and had resided in that city for many years. He was one of the first lumber merchants to introduce American lumber into the Canadian West, and had enjoyed a great measure of success in his business operations, Mr. Case was 38 years of age. Winnipeg as the representative of the Pine Tree Lumber Company. He was born at Gilead, Ind. A wife and son survive him. _ Mr. Case joined the Hoo-Hoo on June 7, 1808, ~ at Fargo, N.D. The many friends of the late James Franklin He went to Foss (Hoo-Hoo No. 6603) paid their last respects to his memory on November 2tst, when his remains were interred in St. John’s cemetery, Winnipeg. The circumstances of the death of the young man were very sad. was found necessary to undergo an operation for appendicitis he did not consider it serious. He went to Fargo, and the operation was performed, but he died on Saturday. The deceased was the owner and manager of the Foss Lumber Company. His former home was in Minneapolis, and he came to Winnipeg three and one-half years ago. He was promi- nently identified with the Hoo-Hoo. Not only was the deceased a very successful lumberman but he was the youngest man in the lumber business in Winnipeg city, and one of the most popular business men in the province. The deceased is survived by his widow, who was Miss Easton, of Winnipeg. The funeral was very largely attended and the floral offerings were many and beautiful. The pall-bearers were W.B.Tomlinson, Jay Spencer, Dan McDonald, T. Dunn, George Lister and W. E. Robinson, all friends and Hoo-Hoo. THE ELEPHANTS AS LOGGERS. Pall Mall Magazine, London:—The ele- phants round us were dragging the logs to the mill to be sawn. They’ were harnessed for this with a broad breastband and heavy chains. A native looped the chains around the logs, and the elephants started off with them and deposited them on the trolley. Others were picking up the sawn planks with their trunks and carrying them across the yard to be piled. A mahout sat on the neck of every elephant, and if the animal picked up too small a plank the mahout would hint, with his iron spike, that two might go to that load. Then, grunt- ing, the elephant would pick up the second with infinite delicacy of balance, turn, march over and deposit them beside the pile, always returning for another load so long as there were any planks ready. When there were none he would take his ease in the sun and wait. Or perhaps there were heavy logs to be push- ed from one place to another, and if pushing would do, with his trunk curled against the log, no elephant would give himself the trouble of picking it up any more than a housemaid will pick up a chair on casters. More fascinating it was than I can tell to see the jungle patriarch kneel down toa heavy log, twist his trunk around it, place it on top of the pile, and then calculate its position and push and pull until it was square in its place. The oddest, because the most resonable thing, was to see the elephant, pushing against the end of a very heavy log, stretch out one hind leg to give himself balance and purchase That seemed to bring him, somehow, very near to us. He was not only doing our work, but he was doing it in our way. Presently, with one accord, all the elephants dropped work and moved in the direction of the sheds. ‘‘ That means its ri o’clock,” said the foreman; ‘‘ dinner hour.

The October number of the Canadian of the Canadian Forestry Convention to be held in Ottawa in January next, of which it makes announcement. The first article is a sketch of ‘‘The Montreal Forest Congress” held in Montreal in 1882. This meeting gave the impulse resulting in the establishment of the fire ranging service which has saved from ‘ destruction large areas of forest throughout — Canada. ‘Woodland Taxation” by Dr. Judson F. Clark, Forester for the Province of = Ontario, is a practical article of great value and will help materially towards a clearer understanding of the effects of such taxation — and of the principles on which it should be based.

EXCELSIOR BABBITT METAL. __ Mr. J. R. Stratton, of Moncton, N. B., has invented a new babbitt metal called the ‘‘Excelsior,” which is ms being placed on the market by the Excelsior Car Bush and Babbitt Company, of Moncton. The babbitt i isa new composition in anti-friction metals. We under- stand that it is not a lead and antimony babbitt like = those in common use, but contains only a very small ez proportion of those metals. It is about 25 oe cent. | aes! lighter in weight, and it is claimed that its melting — point is more than twice as high, and although it : harder, does not cut or wear the journal, while its durability is said to be from three to four times that _ of. ee the babbitts in ordinary use and its anti-friction qoaltt are nearly perfect. The Company advise us that the metal has been use under test conditions in the hardest places that , could be found for about two years and has given co plete satisfaction and received the approval of t Shives Lumber Company and William Richar Company, Campbellton, N. B., Dominion Iron & Steel Company, Moncton, N.’B., and other large | concerns. Having demonstrated the merits and usefu!ness of t metal by extended test, the Company are no’ arranging to place it on the market, being satisfied that they have an article that will effect a large saving to , ‘, users of anti-friction metals and command a ready _ bls Mi extended sale.

[By Our TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE. ] In Minneapolis, which is the lumber centre of the Northwestern States, the dealers all report having pass- ed througha splendid season. The prices at present ' prevailing are fortified, they say, by the scarcity of -labor and the available timber limits. Wages of men in the bush are higher, provisions are higher, and the “demand being active, prices will be sustained. The retailer who did not stock up early in the year because he expected a drop in prices has seen his mistake, and 1906 is likely to be another good year. Considerable discussion having arisen regarding the _ profitableness of logging by steam, the representative of the CANADA LUMBERMAN called upon several of the leading concerns operating in Minnesota and Wiscon- _sin. The general consensus of opinion is that logging by steam can be done profitably where any other means ‘would entail great loss. The Backus-Brooks Company, of Minneapolis, say that where timber is remote from water and rail and so sparcely timbered that they could not afford to build ‘a spur line or even sled it in, logging must be done by steam. An ice track or road is made by use of a snow-plow and rutter, sprinklers being sent over the road each night. The steam loggers will haul six or eight sleds, bringing in fifty thousand feet of logs each trip. Where the timber is scattered it is brought to this ice road, many settlers and farmers delivering logs to the side of this road. Wisconsin will for many years show great timber ‘cuts and is not nearly so badly ‘‘ cut out ” as many “easterners seem to think. It is estimated that the -Foster-Latimer mill at Mellen has a twenty-five year ‘cut in sight, the Nash Company at Shamagolden fully fifteen or more years, the Stearns Lumber Company ‘(who operate in the Odanah Indian Reservation), at least twelve years cut, the Edward Hines Company a THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 29 about the same, and the Davis Lumber Company, at Medford, a twenty year cut. Of course, all this cal- culation depends upon the trade and prices. If the present good prices continue, not only Hines, but every other lumberman will cut every log he can get sawed. It will be about ten or twelve years before all the white pine is gone from Wisconsin, so far as extensive cuts are concerned, anyway. Then the smaller mills and “‘ Jim-crow”’ portables will get in their work and run probably twenty-five years longer. Wisconsin is now a big hemlock state. North of Stevens’ Point there is a vast supply of hemlock and hardwoods. Some large timber interests are being centered on the north shore of Lake Superior, in the state of Min- nesota. Alger, Smith & Company have absorbed a number of interests in Lake and Cook counties, not far from the Canadian border. This places that company practically the only loggers in that section of the country. Two Harbors, Minn., is the nearest port on the lake. Alger, Smith & Companv are logging 100,- 000,000 feet annually on the north shore of Lake Superior, transporting it over their own road, the Du- luth & Northern Minnesota, as far as Knife River, where it is transferred over the Duluth & Iron Range Railway to the company’s two sawmills at Duluth. It is said that there is enough timber in the immediate territory of this road to keep the mills in operation for about five years. The logging camps in the Ashland (Northern Wis- Cold weather and At present consin) district are hard at work. heavy frosts have trebled their capacity. there are seven large camps on the Bad River Reser- vation that are run all‘through the year, but a big in- crease in the crews is made as soon as snow is on the ground. Alex. Dunbar & Sons, Woodstock, N. B., have been granted a patent for a new gang saw. NOTES.

One is a bunk- house, another a cookhouse, and the third a general utility building. Upon moving his camp from Surge Narrows to Okus Hollow recently, Mr. Tomlinson de- cided to put in the portable buildings, ashe had come to the conclusion that for the purposes of logging- camps that class of buildings was the least expensive as well as the most desirable for other reasons. The portable buildings are put up 1t = greater initial cost than the common rough board type of houses, but in the long run they cost less because they may be moved from camp to camp, whereas the old style always be- came a dead toss when camps were moved.

ONTARIO TIMBER REGULATIONS. Toronto, Nov. 28th, 1905. Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN: Dear Sir,—At the approaching session it is hoped that the Act under which the Crown timber regulations are passed, dating now back to 1869, and the regula- tions themselves, will be amended. The one which gives most trouble is dated 26th March, 1895, and is as follows: “‘All timber licenses are to expire on the 3oth day of April next after the date thereof, but as to lots sold or located during the currency of any license the same shall immediately after sale or location be withdrawn from the operation of said license so far as timber other than pine is concerned.” ae ; It is difficult to do the absolutely fair thing as between the settler and licensee of the timber. The Province is anxious for settlers, but it must be careful not to unfairly hamper lumbering operations. I venture to suggest that while it has always been the policy of the Government to consider settlers first, it should now require evidence that the land selected is reasonably fit for cultivation. It is a notorious fact that lumbermen find the limits within their licenses ‘Sumped”, so to speak, by a man who is anxious to be bought out. -On the other hand, it is well known that lumbermen hearing that a location is likely to take place, will bend their energy to stripping that par- ticular lot. This is perhaps natural, as they have their whole outfit in the woods and the withdrawal of the lot may mean serious additional expense in their opera- tions. What is really wanted is that no unfair ad- vantage should be taken of the lumbermen and that no proper location should be denied to the bona fide settler. Perhaps an amendment such as follows might meet the difficulty : DONOT [+ underestimate the importance of checking yout figures when ascertaining terial in 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 or 8/4 measure for veneers, etc., for boxes, mill work, furniture, ¢tc. and prevents errors by using the comprehen- successful “ Box Estimator ’ which gives results, deci- mally expressed, at a glance, contents of cut ma- lumber, or surface Save time, labor, brainwork, and highly recommended Sent on Trial.

DECEMBER, 1905 p * ‘‘All timber licenses are to expire on the joth day MS of April next after the date thereof, but as to lots sold or located during the currency of any license the same ; shall after notice to the licensee of said sale or location be withdrawn from the operation of said license so far as timber other than pine is concerned, provided, however, that. before the selling or location the Minister of Lands and Mines shall be satisfied that the lot in question has over 50 per cent. of its acreage in lands which can be reasonably cultivated and is other- wise fit and suitable for location. ' Yours truly, FRANK E. HODGINs. Alex. Henderson, in reporting to the Bureau of Mines on the value of agricultural lands in the Meta- es gami district, says: ‘‘ The country in general resem- - bles the Abittibi with the exception that the large tim- — ; ber is smaller, both poplar and spruce. Much of the 5 latter would average five to six inches in dianteter. - One variety of spruce forest was quite different from £ anything I had seen in former years. It was a dry spruce forest, trees four to six inches. The soil is a 4 very hard, dry clay, with a little mould on top. This “3 kind of forests is of considerable extent but the smalj An timber makes it doubtful if it is of much value agricul- turally. Between the Metagami and Muskego rivers 4s a strip of well-drained land two or three miles wide _ and twelve miles long. It is a good clay loam soil.” : THE NEW Dominion Saw Gummer Saw Gummer Cutters of all Descriptions MANUFACTURED BY A. T. McLATCHIE, Carinal, Ont, C. H. VOGEL A. M. Can. Soc. C.E OTTAWA, CAN.

The November number of For California, published by the California Promotion Committee, is devoted to the forest and lumbering industry of the state of California. United States Forester Gifford Pinchot, than whom there is no greater authority on the timber interests of the country, contributes an article on the objects of forest reserves, and shows the great good that is done to the state by the United States govern- ment by means of the national forest reserves. Fol- lowing in the same line is an article by E. T. Allen, State Forester, who talks of the combination of interests of private owners and the state. Clarence E. Edwards has an article on ‘‘The Pine Industry,” and George O. Brehm tells of the use of eucalyptus as a hardwood. The pioneer lumberman, E. C. Williams, TRANSMISSION ROPE gives an interesting article on redwood and J. F. Nash tells of scientific lumbering in contradistinction to the old style of cutting the forests. ‘““Edgers” is the title of the latest catalogue pub- lished by the William Hamilton Manufacturing Com- pany. It refers to their many types of edgers, includ- ing the ‘‘ Garland,” ‘‘Star,” and ‘‘ Pacific Coast” and the “ Kendall” patent variable gang circular. ——- NEW ROUTE TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. The opening to traffic of the San Pedro, Los Ange- les and Salt Lake Railroad, known as the Salt Lake Route, between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, makes available a most desirable short line to South- ern California. This will doubtless be of great interest to the ever-increasing number of people who journey each winter to this sunny clime. In anticipation of a large volume of this class of traffic, a handsome equipment of modern vestibuled trains has been placed in service in connection with the Overland Limited train of the Chicago, Union Pa- cific and North Western Line, the most luxurious train in the world. This forms a new and interesting route by which first class tourist travel can reach the sur shine and flowers of Southern California, travelling on fast schedules and in luxurious comfort.

Architects and builders are now recognizing the utility of the western or mountain larch for interior finish. It is very similar, although considered by experts to be much better, than the famous American or Idaho larch. Speak- ing of the latter, Mr. E. T. Chaplin, the well known lumber expert, said :—‘‘Larch lumber is of a reddish color, resembling fir in grain and quality. It is as hard as fir, but carpenters claim it does not split as easily. It is a better lasting wood when exposed to the weather than the Coast fir. It has very little tendency to warp when exposed, although it is hard to dry and avoid season check. It takes a very beautiful polish and for inside finish is an ideal wood. However, it is difficult to furnish this material absolutely free from defects, such as season checks, etc.” The larch found around Cranbrook and Ryan, B.C., is a particularly fine grade and when worked up into interior finish is very beautiful. It is also adapted for the manu- facture of railway cars. Many carpenters do not like to use it because after a nail is driven into it, itis very hard to pull it out, but this is one of its recommendations. Do not hide your light andera bushel. Tell others of what you have accomplished in the direction of the economical production of lumber. W. S. Dwindelle, a prominent resident of Min- neapolis, has been in British Columbia recently looking Into the lumber industry. He is said to be favorably Impressed with the idea of building a saw mill on the Fraser river at New Westminster, which mill would utilize the timber cut by the Fraser River Tannery Company, in which he is a large shareholder. a awk t Quick, reliable, dur- able, adjustable, easy to work.
