“An army moves on its stomach,” said Napoleon, when
emphasizing the necessity of food. Lumbering is impossible
without hot. food—And impossible, too, if you have constantly
to be “tinkering with” your stove.

The “Driver’s Joy” is a substantial wood-burning stove
for hard usage—one of the many camp ranges we make.

Portable

Houses— Prompt Action

Necessary

The meeting of the Canadian Timber Products Association which
was held at Ottawa on December 14th showed that the members of
the Association have been studying very closely the possibility of
getting orders for portable houses in France and Belgium and that
they have to a great extent already got into touch with the situa-
tion as it exists today. The results of the meeting, so far as resolu-
tions were concerned, were a decision to send a representative to
France to be followed possibly by a second representative a little
later on; and a decision to donate the necessary work for producing
two portable houses per member or 50 houses in all, providing the
lumbermen in Ontario will give the necessary lumber and the other
trades will give the balance of the material required, such as beaver
board, roofing, etc. The idea of the meeting was that these houses
should be produced without delay and sent over to France, and that
a representative of the Association should also go to France at an
early date to secure as large a share as possible of the portable house
trade and of such other trade as the members of the Association can
handle.

These results are encouraging. They show that the members
are keenly alive to the importance of the situation and that they may
-be counted upon to make a strong effort to get a large share of this
very important business. It is impossible to overestimate the im-
portance of the portable house business. From the reports which
have already come out we believe that almost any day now there will
be enormous orders given for temporary houses for use in France.
There is a great extent of country which at one time was in the hands

of the Germans and is now being taken up again by the French
_ families who formerly inhabited it.

There is a strong movement on

“CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 23

foot in France to assist these people in settling again on the land
they once occupied and there is already a great demand for temporary
houses. In fact, we believe that some of these houses have already
been ordered, and regret to have heard of orders having been placed
with firms in the United States. If the Canadians do not act
immediately, it will be another case of “too late’ and we will have
scarcely a look in in one of the greatest sources of business arising
out of the war.

Under these conditions not a single moment should be lost by
Canadians. We fear, however, that valuable time is already being
allowed to slip by. Since the meeting was held in Ottawa, extremely
important developments have taken place which we are not at liberty
to discuss just at present, but which may change the whole course of
events so far as the making of a donation of portable houses is con-
cerned; and we fear this change may involve a costly delay in the
other feature of the matter, namely the sending of a representative
to France. From a business point of view the donation of portable

houses will be an important matter. We believe however, that the

charitable and the business features of the situation should not be

mingled in any way. What the Canadian Timber Products Associa-
tion was formed for was to secure orders for portable houses in
France, and there is only one way of doing this; that is to have a
capable representative in France and to have him there at once.
However important the new plan regarding the donation of portable
houses may be and however great its bearing upon the business end
of the Canadian Timber Products Association, delay in working out
and completing the gift should have no effect whatever upon the
sending of a man to France.
forward immediately.

We would like to see such a man sent
We have no doubt that his presence in France
would be the key to success in this matter and that the details of a
gift of portable houses can be worked out in due time, without in-
volving delay in the sending of a representative.

There will be many sources of business for the Association in
France. Portable houses will be one of the largest ot these, but
others will be turning up all the time and unless the Association
sends a man over at once we firmly believe that it will be missing
great opportunities for securing the business for which it
organized.

Forest Fire Loss for 1915 — Ten
Million Dollars

The Dominion of Canada suffered a loss of fully $10,000,000
through forest fires during 1915. It is obvious that destruction of
such dimension cannot continue indefinitely. New growth does not
equal more than a minor portion of the amount abandoned to smoke
nor do the iniquitous effects of the 1915 fires end with an estimate of
ten millions of cash. The burned areas of this year too often mean a
second fire in a few months or years with the ultimate vicious conse-
quences to the productivity of the soil and the ruin of young growth
and seed trees. - It is fair to say, therefore, that the estimated ten
million dollars loss set down for 1915 is only the beginning of i
chalked against the country. ch ee

That ten thousand forest fires occur every year in Canada, or over
1,400 a month between snow and snow, is an estimate based upon
actual figures for the various provinces. Some of these fires are
small and do little harm. Others denude large areas of magnificent
growth.

Statistics regarding forest fire losses in Canada are complete only
in relation to localities. So long as some of the provinces compile no
estimate of their forest destruction annually, the total for the country
may only be approximated. It is an unfortunate habit of some of
those responsible for forest guarding to make their announcements
in pleasant generalities, giving the public the idea that forest protec-
tion is amply looked after by perfected fire ranging systems,
requires no further public agitation and no radical housecle
official attitudes.

The plain fact is that a ten-million dollar annual loss in standing
timber and young growth makes an excellent testimony to the half-

and
aning of

24 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

thoroughness of forest protection organizations in any and every
part of Canada. No one will dispute that Quebec and British Colum-
bia have made remarkable progress in building up forest- guarding
systems, appointing conscientious overseers, and striking at the evi!
from every angle within their reach, but the fresh strength required
for further rapid progress must to a large extent come from an
awakened public. No minister, however determined, can plan and
spend very far ahead of Public Opinion. And one must admit, in
considering the forest legislation and administration of Ontario,
Quebec and British Columbia, etc., that the departments dealing with
forest matters in those provinces have proceeded probably faster than
public sentiment urged.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Quebec, and appearing in many
newspapers, makes the following statement:

“Throughout the Dominion last summer forest fires caused losses
valued at no less than $9,536,867. The loss by forest fires is con-
siderably lower this year than it was previously. Quebec province
during the eight first months of 1915 lost through forest fires $2,254,-
115, which is a good deal lower than the losses in Ontario, where,
although the forest areas are considerably smaller than Quebec’s,
the losses by fire reach the figure of $3,694,823. British Columbia,
with its vast forests, only lost $913,125, due largely to its forest fire-
fighting organization. The small loss by forest fires in Quebec proy-
ince is attributed to the protective measures employed by the gov-
ernment to prevent, fight and control fires.”

In Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick and British Columbia 85
per cent. of the losses were due to settlers’ fires. Quebec and British
Columbia have secured splendid results from their “permit” laws, by
which all settlers are obliged to obtain the supervision of a forest
ranger before setting out their clearing fires.

Ontario has no such law, and has suffered serious consequences,
but the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines has the problem under
consideration, and may evolve an adequate remedy in the near
future. New-Brunswick has already made a good start in the
regulation of settlers’ fires, and will presumably spread the plan
across the entire province.

Perhaps, the outstanding fact of the season’s forest destruction
is the absence of any serious loss along the lines of railway governed
by the Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners and their forest
protection regulations. Before the imposition of these laws, the
Canadian railways were pointed out as the chief offenders in burning
of forests. Now, however, the non-government lines under the
Board’s control are annually presenting a record of fire immunity

which places them permanently among the minor causes of damage
to the country’s timber. As a matter of fact, only two or three fires
of over ten acres in extent were attributed this year to those lines a
where the system of the Railway Commission has been put completely .
into effect. On two railways, of relatively small mileage, to which
the board’s regulations do not apply, no less than 200 fires were
reported. Many of them were serious in extent, and at least 600,000
acres were burned over by fires due either to locomotives or men
travelling along the right of way of these two roads and failing to

Manitoba lost more than $1,000,000 in damage to mature timber ;
and young growth in 1915. The total area burned over was 800,000 f
acres, according to official reports thus far received. Final reports
will probably show an increased loss.

The fires in Manitoba took place mainly in the latter part of May
and the early part of June, and were particularly destructive in the
vicinity of the Hudson Bay Railway.

In the Province of Saskatchewan the most destructive fires took
place during the same period as in Manitoba, but the fires were con-
fined more to the areas under effective patrol, and the total distruc-
tion is not so great. The present figures indicate a total burned —
area of about 160,000 acres, and a total damage of $170,000.

In the southern portion of Alberta there has been an exceptional
amount of rain throughout the season, so that the fires reported from
the region south of the Peace river country and Athabasca Landing
are comparatively small in number, and covered only about 25,000
acres, on which the damage is estimated to be about $1.00 per acre.

In the valleys of the Peace river, the Lower Athabasca river and
the Mackenzie river conditions have, on the other hand, been phenom-
enally dry, resulting in fires that have been more destructive than in
many years previous. Probably not less than half a million acres
were burned over. As a good deal of the country burned over is
probably incapable of producing merchantable timber, the loss would
not be over $200,000.

In British Columbia, the area patrolled by the Dominion rangers
is confined to the railway belt. In the eastern portion of the belt
rains occurred at fairly regular intervals, and while there was at ;
several times considerable danger from fire, the ranger staff was able
to cope with the situation effectively, with the exception of the month
of August in the Lower Fraser valley, where several fires got beyond
control. While 10,000 acres of logged-over land were burned, the
fires were kept out of the merchantable timber, only 36 acres of which
were burned.

Canada’s War Financing Programme

The address delivered by Hon. W. T. White, Minister of Finance,
before the Toronto Board of Trade on December 16th, was like his
previous address before the same body, one of exceptional importance.
Mr. White dwelt particularly upon the methods of financing war pur-
chases in Canada. The most significant fact which he brought out
was that the war has greatly enlarged our conception of what is pos-
sible to us, as Canadians, in the way of financing our war expenditures
and facilitating the financing of the war expenditures of Great Britain
in Canada. Eighteen months ago, he said, any one who had stated
that Canada could raise 250,000 men for overseas service and could
float a war loan of 100 million dollars, would have been received with
amused incredulity. The fact remained, however, that Canada had
been discovering herself since the outbreak of the war. He then dis-
cussed in considerable detail the financing of Great Britain’s purchases

in Canada of shells, munitions and supplies, as well as similar pur-

chases by the Allies. From enquiries, he had learned that the Shell
Committee, or rather the Imperial Munitions Board needed, for the
single month of December, 25 million dollars to pay for its purchases
during that month. This was at the rate of about 300 million dollars
per annum, and when Mr. Thomas, representative of the Imperial
Government left Canada he mentioned the figure of 500 million dol-
ars. Canada’s 1915 revenue was a little over $150,000,000.

Discussing the means for raising the money for these purchases,
Mr. White dwelt upon the course of exchange, which for a time—
up to December, 1914—had been in favor of Great Britain, thus en-
abling her to pay for her purchases by means of: exchange. The
course of exchange, however, had altered early in 1914 until it reached —
a discount of from three to five per cent. from the point of view of
Great Britain, thus putting an end to the feasibility of paying for
purchases by means of sterling exchange. This had led to a con- - j-*
sideration of the other methods available for financing the purchases
of the Allied Powers in Canada, and in the United States. The two '
chief methods were by shipments of gold and by borrowings in the
countries where the purchases were made. On account of the great
demand upon shipping facilities, shipments of gold were also exceed-— oe
ingly costly and the question had resolved itself into one of borrow- —
ing in Canada and in the United States. The colossal character of
the borrowings of Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy for war
purposes were shown by the fact that their total exceeded 750 million
dollars. The Anglo-French loan amounted to 500 million dollars.
Great Britain and France had borrowed in the United States alto-
gether 625 million dollars, and Russia and Italy 125 million dollars. It
had been a condition of all these loans that the money so raised shall
be expended in the United States. The importance of this fact was

January 1, 1916

that the ability to grant credit was the foundation of further credit.
Canada also, by raising a loan for Great Britain had directly increased
the volume of business that would be placed in Canada.

Canada had great reason to be pleased therefore, with the re-
markable change in its financial situation, which enabled it to become
a lending nation. It was of great importance to us that we should
do all in our power to become a lending instead of a borrowing
country. On this subject, Mr. White said :—“I do not know any other
way for Canada to become a lending country than to save more money ;
produce more and save more; I do not know any way whereby an
individual can save money and have it for investment, except by the
old fashioned mode of living within his income and saving his profits
to the extent that he can. [|

Canada to become a lending
country is for Canada to pro-
duce all she can and to save
what she can and by pro-
duction and saving Canada
has been enabled to meet the
vicissitudes of the past year
as none of us ever expected
she would be able to meet
them, and by production and
saving Canada will in time
become a lending nation and
be able to find the money
for her own works and be
able probably to do some-
thing more in the way of
buying international securi-
ties. I pointed out a little
while ago that the facility to
extend credit obtained busi-
ness. Not necessarily to ex-
tend full credit, but partial
credit. Because, other things
being equal—I am not speak-
ing now particularly with
regard to Great Britain, be-
cause Great Britain would
desire to place as many or-
ders in Canada as she could,
but even from the British
standpoint the matter is im-
portant—the ability to ex-
tend credit and help to fin-
ance purchases made on this
side of the Atlantic, will se-

cure the orders.” Hon. “Punch”
Mr. White then dis-
cussed” various methods

in which Canada could help Great Britain and the Allies in financing
their purchases. The chief suggestion he had to make along this line
was that the firms and companies in Canada who are engaged in
the manufacture of munitions for Great Britain might be willing to
accept in payment a certain percentage in British Exchequer Bonds,
maturing two, three or more years from now, so as to clear the period
of the war. In this way they would, to that extent, be financing Great
Britain’s purchases in Canada and enabling her to get over the adverse
exchange situation. Mr. White made this suggestion quite un-
officially, but put it forward as a practical and not unlikely solution
of the situation. Such a suggestion was an important evidence of the
altered relations between Great Britain and Canada. “There is no
doubt,” Mr. White said,” that the peril to which this war exposes
the Empire, and the problems of this war, will lead to a very much
closer organization of the whole Empire from a commercial and fin-
ancial standpoint.

The British Empire, and Canada its most important unit, faces the new year with unimpaired fir.
vigor, uncountable resources, unshaken confidence and redoubled determination.

Mr. White’s concluding remarks were eloquent and powerful.
“T have no doubt,” he said, “that when this war is over we will find
the financial and the commercial resources of the Empire organized
in a fashion that would have taken possibly generations to accomplish
had the war not taken place. I said to you before and I say it now
that I have an invincible belief in the continued integrity of the
British Empire. Not only from the solid consideration of its material
strength, which is by far the greatest in the world, but because as I
have stated, the British Empire stands for ideals with which this
world is not yet ready to part, and I believe, sir, that ‘out of our dire
experience in this war and the tragic suffering which every part of the
Empire has been and is still undergoing, and is still to undergo, we
shall develop an organization
financial, commercial and po-
litical which will be adequate
to cope with whatever re-
sponsibilities, whatever du-
ties and whatever dangers
the Empire may be called
upon in the future to face.”

Douglas Fir a Splendid
Railroad Sleeper
Material

Two Douglas fir and two
red cedar railway ties were
recently forwarded by the
Forest Branch of the Depart-
ment of Lands of British
Columbia to the Great East-
ern Railway Company of
England, who selected two
sleepers from their stock
which they obtained from
the Baltic, and tested them
all under similar conditions.
The results of these tests
show beyond a doubt the
superiority of British Col-
umbia fir for railroad ties.

It was found that under
compression Douglas fir will
stand 5,695 pounds per
square inch as against Bal-
tic timber of 3,950 pounds
per square inch; while red
cedar made a very creditable
showing against the Baltic
timber of 3,407 pounds per
square inch.

Tests in tension were even
more favorable for Douglas
This is shown by the
fact that it would take 11,-
450 pounds or over 5% tons to pull apart a stick of Douglas fir having
a cross section of one square inch; whereas just half that weight would
suffice to pull apart Baltic timber, and only 3,300 pounds were required
to separate cedar.

These tests were carried out by the Great Eastern Railway, and
the results which they found will be of immense value to the reputa-
tion of Douglas fir as a railway tie material amongst English engi-
neers. The importance of this is increased by the fact that English
engineers have the supervision of most of the railway lines in China,
India and South Africa, all of which are valuable markets for Douglas
fir. The publicity work which is being carried out by the British
Columbia Government to promote the use of its native timber pro-
ducts is bringing valuable results every day. It is based upon modern
ideas in regard to reaching the consumer. There is great need for
similar work by the other timber producing provinces of Canada and
by the Dominion Government’s Forestry Branch also.

Will Send a Representative to France —
Canadian Timber Products Association Going After Portable House and Other Business ;
Direct—Will Co-operate in Gift of Houses |

The Canadian Timber Products Association, which has recently
been formed with the object of promoting the export trade of
Canada in manufactured wood products, and especially the probable
trade in portable houses for France and Belgium, held an important
meeting at Ottawa on December 14th. Mr. F. E. Parker of W. C.
Edwards and Company Ltd., Ottawa, occupied the chair. A great
deal of interesting discussion took place regarding the portable house
situation, and the chief result of the meeting was the passing of a
resolution to send to Paris, France, a representative of the Associa-
tion, whose duties will be to get into close touch with the market
for portable houses and other Canadian wood products and seek to
work up trade for the Association. The resolution also contained
provisions for sending a second man at a later date, if found advisable,
who will be a practical estimator. With these two men on the scene
in France, the Association will be in an excellent position for getting
in touch with the market and quoting prices upon any orders which
develop.

At present, the Association has 26 firms ‘in its membership and
12 other ‘firms are considering the advisability of joining. Of the
26 firms now belonging to the Association 22 have submitted reports
‘of their daily output, the total of which is as follows:—Dressed or
finished pine, spruce and hemlock lumber, including mouldings,
1,730,000 feet; hardwood flooring 328,000 feet; doors, 4,175 pieces;
frames 3,805; sash, 10,650; columns, 100; blinds, (one firm) 400;
portable houses (one firm) 30.

Another important result of the meeting was the passing of a
resolution to the effect that each member of the Association would
do the milling for one or two portable houses, free of charge, if the
lumbermen of Ontario will contribute the lumber, and the other trades
will contribute the balance of the material, such as beaver board,
roofing, etc. This donation is in accordance with the request recently
sent out by Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Minister of Lands, Forests
and Mines for Ontario, upon the suggestion of Sir Geo. Foster, that the
lumbermen of Ontario should contribute lumber, the woodworking
firms contribute the milling and the government attend to the trans-
portation, so that a donation of portable houses may be sent to France.

According to reports received from lumbermen it is expected
that they will readily co-operate by contributing lumber, and that at
an early date a substantial donation of this nature will be shipped to
Irance. The expectation is that these houses will be erected at
Various points’ in France and that each of them will bear a small
legend indicating that it has been presented by the lumber and
woodworking interests of Ontario. The idea is that similar donations
will be sent from the other important lumber producing provinces of
Canada, and that possibly a hundred or perhaps more houses will thus
be sent over free of charge, for the housing of people who have been
deprived of their homes in northern France.

Plans of the portable house which the Ontario firms wiil present
are published in this issue. The specifications of the portable house
which have been worked out by the firm of Venne and Labelle,
achitects, Montreal, P. O., call for about 3,500 feet of lumber worked
to special sizes. The house shown is 15 ft. 10 in. by 19 ft. 11 in.
and contains three rooms, one 9 ft. 6 in. by 15 ft. 5 in.; and two
7 it. 7 in. by 9 ft. 6 in., with a uniform height of storey 8 ft. The
roof represents 395 square feet which will require about 450 feet of
roofing paper or such other material as may be used. For ceiling
and wall lining, whatever material is used the following quantities will
be required :—For ceiling 292 square feet; for walls 481 square feet;
for inside partitions 155 square feet on each side.

During the afternoon session of the meeting Sir George Foster
was present and joined in an informal discussion of the whole situa-
tion. He stated that the best time for sending over these houses was
the present ; it could not be done too soon. A representative should
also be sent over to Paris, he thought, at the same time as the houses
are sent. The main features of the situation were plain enough.
There had been an immense amount of the country devastated, part
of which was now outside of the dominions occupied by the Teutens,
and was now being filled in by refugees who were ill-cared for and
almost unhoused, seeking their old homes or what remained of them.
All through these districts in France, building propositions were now
coming forward and in these districts temporary habitations would
always precede more permanent ones. The temporary habitatio-s
would not be of brick, stone or iron. They would be cheap wooden
shelter houses. Governments, societies and individuals were all
taking a hand in connection with the repatriation of these refugees
and the opportunity for business would be a wide one,

Just as soon as Canadian houses could be sent over to France as
a practical exemplification of what Canadians can do to meet this
demand, one or two of the smartest salesmen ought to be sent over
to talk business. United States firms were following this same idea
and were doing it more vigorously. This had been exemplified in
case after case in the early days of the war. Many Canadians had
come to him for assistance in getting contracts, and, while they were
doing so, representatives of United States firms were already in-
Europe getting the business. Other Canadians had gone over to
Europe on his recommendation and had come back with large con-
tracts. Others were staying in Canada and not going after the
business and few, if any of them, were getting any of it.

So far as credentials, introductions and government influence
were concerned, the Dominion Government would do all it could to — |
look after this end of the matter. The Allied powers were all specially ‘
sympathetic to Canada and would give preference to Canadian
industries in all these matters. He advised the Canadian Vimber
Products Association to get into direct contact with the French
Government, the Belgian Government and the Allies Commission in
London.

Sir Geo. Foster mentioned the case of British Columbia as one
proving the value of having a man upon the scene in Europe. Mr.
Hi. R. MacMillan who had been sent over by the Dominion Department _
of Trade and Commerce had spent three or four months in En ;

‘and France with the result that many cargoes of British Columbia

lumber had been ordered for those countries. This had been the
direct result of personal representation.

Mr. Frank Hawkins, secretary of the Canadian Lumbermen’
Association was also present at the meeting upon a special request
from the Association, and stated that while the Association had net
yet taken any steps in regard to the question of sending a represen-
tative to Europe, this was a matter which he had very definitely in
mind to bring up at the annual meeting of the Association on
January 19th.

Mr. W. B. Bartram, of Bartram Bros., Ottawa, attended the
meetings and in the course of a few remarks stated that he had been
in close touch with the French market, having visited France per-
sonally since the outbreak of the war. He had found that the French
people were ready to buy all the lumber that could be delivered from
Canada. Price was not a factor. The demand was in excess of the
supply, the only limitation to business in France at the present time
being the scarcity of tonnage. He also reported that a portable
house movement was under way in France at the present time, and he
had just received a cable stating that a representative from France
would call upon him in the near future in reference to this matter. :
Mr. Bartram added that he would immediately turn the French
representative over to the Canadian Timber Products Association,
when he arrived in Ottawa. He warned the Association, however,
against the French middlemen. It would be very necessary to take
precautions in regard to this or they would find that their transac-
tions were heavily burdened with commissions.

Mr. A. J. Young of Sudbury, Ont., was selected by a special com-
mittee as the best man available te represent the Association in
France. Mr. Young has had a wide experience of the planing mill ,
business, is intimately associated with the lumber business and is also :
conversant with.the French language. He is a successful business
man with many important business interests. He advised the Associa-
tion that he would like to accept the appointment, but would ask them
to wait a short time until certain pending business affairs were
settled. He would then know definitely whether he could represent
the Association in France.

In connection with the proposed donation of portable houses to
France it is interesting to note that the lumbermen of the province of __

New Brunswick are also taking steps along similar lines. Lumber- vi
men, mill owners and woodworking factories throughout New Bruns- es
wick have received from Premier Clarke, as Minister of Lands and af
Mines, a circular letter similar to that sent out by Hon. G. Howard -
Ferguson in Ontario. Mr. Clarke asks that the lumber interests of the =a
province do their share in furnishing a substantial gift of portable ia

houses.

Since the above meeting was held an important development has
commenced which may result in a much more comprehensive under-
taking than that of presenting 50 portable houses. The new develop-
ment is still in its early stages and we are not able to publish its
details as yet. We hope, however, to be able to report upon it fully
In our next issue. i

Australian Trade Short of Vessels

Commissioner to United States points out a few pertinent
facts regarding Pacific Coast exports.

Niel Nielson, Trade Commissioner to the United States for the
eovernment of New South Wales, Australia, in an address to The
Douglas Fir Club of San Francisco recently gave a keen analysis of
the lumber trade situation between the two countries. Much of
what Mr. Nielsen said is of importance to lumber exporters in British
Columbia, and with the substitution of “British Columbia” for “The
United States,” in many cases, his remarks can be taken to heart by
Canadians. y ;

Mr. Nielsen has been located in San Francisco for the past three
years and a goodly portion of the increase in imports from and ex-
‘ports.to Australia at this port are directly traceable to his efforts.
These for the past four years, in nine-month periods, are as follows:

Mear 1915... .. 7 208,454

Mr. Nielsen said in part: My desire as a buyer is not take your
iumber at less than the cost of its manufacture, but I have been forced
into that position by the fact that the freight rates have been so
excessive and the consumer whom I represent has had to pay not only
the cost of the lumber but also these excessive freights, which have
brought the C. I. F. price of lumber landed in my country far above
the normal price.

Let me give you a word of encouragement. “So long as you
produce Douglas fir lumber at what we in Australia consider a fair
and reasonable price, so long will we be buyers and ever increasing
buyers of your, product.”

The reason is that in this class of lumber you have a product that
has two important qualifications in association, namely, lightness
combined with extraordinary strength. We have no lumber in
Australia that has this combination of qualifications to the extent that
Douglas fir has.

We have stronger timbers and we have lighter timbers, but we
have not in any one class of timber these two qualifications in com-
bination to the extent that they are possessed by your Douglas fir.

We in Australia are the principal buyers of West Coast exported
iumber. This will continue to a certain point, that point being where
the price of your lumber landed in Australia is equal and perhaps a
little greater than lumber produced in Australia that can be sub-
stituted for your product, and let me tell you, gentlemen, that point
is nearly being reached at the present moment owing to the high
cost of the carriage from this Coast to our country.

The lumber trade is undoubtedly on a very unstable basis, when
the price can not be fixed either by the producer who manufacturers
it nor by the consumer who uses it nor by any combined agreement
between these two, but the price is arbitrarily fixed by the ship
owner, who does nothing towards producing it, who does nothing
towards increasing its value by consuming it, but who simply carries
it from one side of the Pacific to the other.

Stability of trade is based upon two important factors. The first
and most important is a “fair reciprocity of trade” and the second is
“the ownership of the means of carrying the manufactured product to
-where it is to be consumed.”’ A combination of these two factors will
make trade absolutely stable and permanent; the absence of one of
them may not altogether dislocate the trade, but the absence of them
both might at any moment cut off the trade completely.

These factors of stability are altogether absent in the lumber
trade between Australia and the West Coast of America, as they also
are between this Coast and China.

You may think that your business ability is responsible for the
lumber trade to Australia. If you do, do not deceive yourselves any
longer.

The lumber trade between this Coast and Australia is largely
accidental in its origin and it is based not upon a business foundation,
not upon our needs on the one hand and your ability to supply them
‘on the other, but on the ship owner’s willingness to carry the com-
modity from you tous. Jt has taken the European war to show us
this.

_ While the Pacific was full of lumber carrying boats, no one,
neither the manufacturer or the consumer, worried their heads about

LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

January 1, 1916

the carrying portion of the trade; the ships were always there in
normal times and we did not bother ourselves as to what flag they
had at their mastheads.

But when the war made the carrying of stores and munitions in
the Atlantic such a profitable business as it is today, the ships which
we had depended upon at once left for those seas where most money
was to be made.

As a matter of fact our lumber fleet, as we were pleased to call
it, dwindled until it contained only those boats which were held in
the Pacific Ocean because they were owned by the people living in
the countries surrounding that ocean.

Speaking of the general problem of the Pacific shipping trade, I
wish to give you a startling comparison, which accounts for the pre-
sent alarming state of affairs in the carrying trade of this great ocean.

During the year immediately preceding the outbreak of the war
the people of Australia bought from the United States of America a
quantity of goods which required 218 ships aggregating 565,960 tons
to carry them to our country.

Our trade with Germany required 219 ships, aggregating 743,632

tons to carry it.

Our trade with Japan necessitated the employment of 98 ships.

Now note the difference. Of the 219 boats carrying the German
trade to Australia, every one was a German boat. Of the 98 boats
carrying the Japanese trade, every one was Japanese. But of the 218
boats which carried the American trade, only 61 carried the American
flag at the mizzen.

This explains the present high freights. Practically all the foreign
owned boats which assisted you to transfer your commodities across
the Pacific have deserted this ocean as soon as it paid them to do so
and the only ones you have left in the lumber trade are those owned
on this Coast and which have thus a strong reason for staying here.

What is going to happen to these as soon as freight rates return
to their normal level? Can they stay under American registry and
compete with the foreign-owned boats? I am afraid they can not.

You who know America so well, perhaps have never been in a
position to compare the productive possibilities of your own country
with that of others. Bring the map of the world into your jerr d
eye and then tell me where is there another great area of arable land
within the temperate zone so well situated as is your great Mississippi
basin? You have between the Rockies and the Appalachian Moun-
tains from west to east and between the Great Lakes and the Guli
of Mexico from north to south, the greatest territory on earth of
cereal-producing country, with reasonably easy access to the sea.

The only other country which has a greater area than this, of
continuous arable land within the temperate zone, is Russia in its
Asiatic possession, Siberia, but the greater part of this latter area is
thousands of miles from the sea, while all but the far western portion
of your great cereal area is within 1,000 miles of water carriage.

Nature has truly done well for the United States and it rests with
you to use these opportuinties which are not possessed to as great
a degree by any other country on earth to their greatest advantage.

You might say, is Australian trade worth going after when you
have such a great home population to consume your products? IT
do not know what you think on this point, but I would like to tell
you that the Australian people are the wealthiest on earth; they are
also per capita the greatest buyers of foreign goods on earth. The
average wealth of our people per unit is $2,030; our imports run to
$86.75 per head of our population, and our exports to $88.25 per head
of population, a total value of foreign trade per head of our popula-
tion of $175. .

Let me compare in another way our present value to your country
as buyers of your products, which I hope is an indication of our much
greater future value. , ;

The United States Treasury Department has furnished me with
the following figures, which are those for the year 1914: “ea

It will be seen by these figures that Australian trade is already
worth more to the United States than that of any other Pacific coun-

try; that it is greater than that of Japan and very much greater than
that of China; that it goes far beyond that of your best customer in

South America, Argentina; that it is greater than that of Mexico,
Russia, Spain, Brazil or Austria-Hungary, and is only beaten by five
of the great European countries and by Canada and Cuba in the
Western Hemisphere.

In view of these facts is it not essential that this trade be based
upon permanence and stability? How can this be done? Only by
making the carrying of your commodities sure in abnormal as well as
in normal times. You have found by your recent experiences that the
carrying of your commodities is the most important factor in the
marketing of them.

_ All the lumber you can produce for the export trade and all the
anxiety of the consumers in Australia and other countries to secure it
for their use will not put a dollar in your pockets unless you have
the ships to carry your product across the seas.

No country, not even your great Republic, can be wholly self-
contained. It fully controls only that portion of its production which
its own population requires and uses. As soon as local requirements
have been fully met, the rest depends upon international distribution.

No branch of your trade rests more upon such distribution than
does your lumber trade.

The foundation of the whole trade is ships and ships that will
stay with the trade and not desert it for other waters.

There must be continual inducement for these ships to stay in
the trade, such an inducement that even a world’s war will not over-
come. This can only be brought about by either filling the ships
both ways by buying goods in bulk and value approximately equal
to what you sell or if this can not be done the ships must be owned
and controlled by either one or other of the countries concerned in
the continuance and permanence of the trade.

If a proper and adequate reciprocity in trade does not exist or
can not be brought about, then the country which holds the trade
balance must in its own interest supply the ships.

For the lumber trade between Australia and the West Coast of
America, the United States being the country having the trade bal-
ance in its favor, must own and control the ships to carry that trade
or be always face to face with the prospect of its being cut off at any
time or very seriously crippled, as it is at the present moment.

Our people in Australia are principally primary producers and
primary producers principally along special lines. Our distance from
the markets of the world is so great that we have become specialists
even in primary production and we must produce commodities that
are very valuable in proportion to their weight.

That is why our principal products are wool, metals, butter, meat,
etc., etc., and that is why we will stay in the primary producing stage
longer than have other countries which lay nearer to the great centers
of the world’s civilized populations. .

Your manufacturers require our primary products; we require
your manufactured products, so there is every element essential for
a great and increasing trade between your country and mine. The
business is there for you if you go after it. Old avenues of trade have
been completely cut off by the war. New ones must be opened up.

You people in America are our kinsmen, drawn from the same
stock, speaking the same language, and outside of the United King-

dom, our own mother country; yours is the country that we would
sooner trade with than any other on earth.

Market Conditions Reflected in U. S. Forest Service

The annual report of the Forestry Branch of the Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., states that there was a drop oi
30 per cent. in the demand for national forest stumpage during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1915. This is indicated by the falling off
in new sales and is a significant index of the unstable market for
lumber and the serious: conditions obtaining in the forest-using in-
dustries. These conditions which are now the subject of a special
study conducted by the Department of Agriculture in co-operation
with the Federal Trade Commission and the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, “are related primarily to the carrying of
enormous quantities of raw material, exploitable only during a long
period of time, in private ownership. This load of uncut timber, with
its far-reaching financial burdens, hampers or prevents the private
operator from adapting his business to the changed conditions of his
market and to the competitive factors of more or less recent develop-
ment. Hence a tendency toward a lumber output governed not by the
requirements of the country, but by the financial necessities of the
owners of stumpage, with its resultant market demoralization and
wasteful use of timber resources. Had the National forests never
been created, the conditions of trade depression and wasteful ex-

__ ploitation, detrimental alike to the interests of the lumber industry

and the public, would have been markedly accentuated. The value of

public ownership of a considerable part of the timber resources of

f .

the Nation has never been demonstrated more strikingly than by the
results of private ownership now manifest.

Although large commercial sales fell off, due to the depressed
condition of the lumber market, the number of sales to settlers,
farmers, and small dealers at cost rates nearly doubled in number,
while more than 40,000 free timber permits were issued, an increase
of 549. The steady increase of this use indicates the importance of
the National Forests to the communities in which they lie and the
stability of the local demand for their products.

The report. discusses in detail-the work of the Forest Service
during the fiscal year ended June 30 last, showing a general increase
in all Forest activities except commercial timber sales. It predicts,
however, a larger revenue from all sources for the fiscal year 1916, the
general improvement in business conditions throughout the country
having been already felt in the National Forests, as shown by an
increase during the first three months of about $119,000 over the
earnings of the same period last year. During the fiscal year, the
total revenues were $2,481,469.35, an increase of $43,759.14 over 1914.
Of the $5,662,094.13 provided by the regular appropriation for the
Forest Service, $5,281,000 was expended for protection, utilization,
and improvements, the cost of protection being increased by an
extraordinarily severe fire season which necessitated emergency ex-
penditures that were partly provided for by a deficiency appropriation
of $349,243. An additional sum of about $196,000 was spent under
the law which permits 10 per cent. of the Forest receipts to be
employed in road development for the public benefit.

How the Southern Pine Trade is Booming
The widespread improvement in the lumber trade in the United

States which has developed during the past two months is well indi-

cated in a series of reports recently received by a prominent Canadian
lumber manufacturing firm. Realizing the beneficial effect in Canada
which will certainly follow improvement in United States trade
conditions this Canadian manufacturer wrote several American firms
and received the following among other telegraphic replies :—

Great Southern Lumber Co., Bogalusa, La:—We find great im-
provement in the southern pine situation. We have orders on hand
for over two thousand cars at good prices. We feel that the turn has
come and yellow pine will go to seventeen dollars by March or April
and feel that it will be fifteen by January. .

Long Bell Lumber Co., St. Louis, Mo:—Our order file is in-
creasing. Shipments are in excess of capacity. Prices are advancing
and demand growing stronger. We made two advances last week.

Pickering Lumber Co:—Demand exceeds supply. Prices are
advancing rapidly. We advanced prices Saturday fifty cents to one
dollar entire list. Again advanced prices yesterday fifty cents to one
dollar all items common stock and few items of better grades.

Kaul Lumber Co., Birmingham, Ala:—We find the yellow pine
demand very active. The market is strong. Our recent shipments
exceed output. Improvement in market during past week is marked
and seems fairly uniform over the entire consuming territory. We
understand dealers’ stocks are low. .Mill stocks are broken and be-
coming depleted.

Central Lumber & Coal Co:—We have advanced our prices twice
in one week fifty cents to one fifty last Friday and are advancing
again today. Sales made last week by one hundred and fifty two
mills were one hundred and thirty-eight per cent. of production. We
think stocks will be reduced this month by fifty million feet. Stocks
were reduced last month by forty million feet. Orders have in-
creased since July forty-two per cent.

Missouri Lumber & Land Co., Kansas City, Mo:—Our business
is above normal. Prices are advancing. We have much more demand
than can be supplied by our broken stocks.

Roper, Norfolk :—We have made three advances this month. The
demand is principally for lower grades, but orders for upper grades
indicate that general yard conditions are improving.

B.C. to Build Lumber Carriers

A despatch from Victoria, B. C., states that a bill will be intro-
duced at the next meeting of the British Columbia Parliament pro-
viding for a bond issue by the Provincial Government to be used in
building 30 four-mast semi-Deisel auxiliary schooners. These
schooners will have approximately 2,235 tons dead-weight capacity,
or 1,800 tons gross registry. This is equivalent to about 1,300 tons
net registry. Their capacity for carrying lumber will be about 2,000,-
000 feet each. These schooners are to be turned over to lumber
manufacturers of British Columbia, who are to assume the bonds and
pay for the schooners as bonds fall due. They are to be operated in
the lumber trade of the entire Pacific coast. It is reported that these.
vessels will take about 200,000,000 feet of lumber annually, whereas
the present exportation is only about 60,000,000 feet. Keels of six
or eight of these vessels are to be laid in British Columbia by April
1, and the remainder to be built as the demand increases. ;

A budget of comment on men and things of moment presented in the
interest of our readers, independent of party politics
and with malice toward no one.

Right here at the start let me say that this criticizing of the Government
is no pleasant task. I am well aware that the publishers of this paper will
get little credit for honesty of purpose. So accustomed is the public to the
harpings of the party and corporation press that it has become case-hardened.
It has learned to look through the printed articles for the self, party or cor-

poration interest that prompted it. Let it be known then, once for all, that I
prefer the Borden administration, with all its sins, to a Government controlled

_ by a party that sought to tie us up to the United States with a reciprocity
treaty. But this paper represents a constituency of business men. It realizes
that they are tired of seeing politics practised where business methods should
be applied. They know that honest criticism is the best medicine for any
government—even if you have to hold its nose while you administer the dose.
As I have said before, the publishers are not in a position to handle a war
contract and do not care to farm one out. I myself have no desire to swagger
around in an honorary colonel’s uniform. We simply want to show that petty
politics are no satisfactory substitute for patriotism and that party machines
‘cannot do the work of factory lathes. And permit me to say further, that
we believe that things would have been just as bad and probably much worse

if a Liberal government had happened to be in power when the war broke out.

* 2k *

Despatches from Ottawa indicate that the Government is firmly fixed in
its resolution to side-step any and all enquiry into the “educative” work of
the late lamented shell committee. It is evidently hoping that its work will
be so covered by the improved methods under which the Imperial Munitions
Board is working that it will be forgotten. But the charge that the sufferings
~ of heroes have been capitalized and made to yield fortunes is one that refuses
to die. The Ottawa Citizen, which was early in action against the “profiteers,”
_ returns to the charge with a statement that for machining 4.5 inch shells the
’ Motherland has been forced to pay as high as $6.70 per shell, when the work
could be profitably done for $2.25 per shell. It also gives figures to show that
profits on other sizes of shells were proportionately large. What the public
wants to know is how true these figures are. The public has a right to know,
and it is going to keep on asking till it finds out. If it does not find out from
this government it will find out from its successor.

Fae Ott’
That there are two sides to every story everybody will admit. There is
doubtless some truth in Brigadier-General Bertram’s story that he effected a
saving of $14,000,000. It is also very probable that Mr. Cantley and the Nova
Scotia Steel Company were entitled to consideration for the reason that they
_ were the Canadian pioneers in shell making and invested considerable money
in experiments before they succeeded in producing shells at a profit. Let
those men have the credit that is due them. I would not for one moment
rob any committee or any manufacturer of one iota of credit for anything that
was done to relieve the Empire’s great need for ammunitions. But credit can
only be given by letting in light on the entire works of the Shell Committee.
So long as that committee lies in an as yet unnamed grave the public will think
only the worst of it and the government that was responsible for its existence.
The fact that it was buried by the Imperial authorities adds to rather than
detracts from the Canadian Government's responsibility.
‘ os SEEN ak
| The Government has everything to gain and nothing to lose by being open
and above-board in this matter. So many stories have been whispered, so
- many charges have been flung broadcast that to remain silent must simply be
taken as an admission of guilt—an admission that the worst has not been told.
Never since Confederation have so many stories of trickery, trafficking and
grafting been afloat. They come to this office by the score, All cannot be
given because all cannot be investigated. It would take a big staff working
overtime to get into them all. But they pass from mouth to mouth, growing
with each telling. Probably most of them have not yet reached Sir Robert
Borden. His “machine men” probably see that such as do reach him are fumi-
2 gated, sugar-coated and otherwise specially prepared for his consumption.
_ But even his own party organs are hinting that makers of munitions “have
_ striven to get large profits out of their contracts.” The Toronto News (Con-
servative) charges it all to “stock market booming,” but closes its article with
the rather ominous sentences: “As in previous crazes a reckoning is coming.
_ It may be close at hand and some very prominent men may be involved in
yO inevitable disclosures.”

It is up to Premier Borden to see that the Conser tive party
Dominion Government not only are not involved in, but wrecke¢ by the -
evitable disclosures. If he has that ability that was ascribed to hit when the
intelligent electors put him where he is he will rise above his “machine men” bat Be
and investigate the deals in shells and shell boxes. He owes it to himself, to
the great majority of his Conservative followers, to the country he represents i E-
and to the Empire we are fighting for. pf a

A prominent grain man, in telling why Canada should be prosperous, _
states that Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta this year produced 700,000,000 iy
bushels of grain, of which 300,000,000 bushels was wheat. He gives $450,000,000 _
as a conservative estimate of its value. Is it any wonder that the other
Winnipeg had larger bank clearings than Montreal, and that the Prairie (
is entering on a new era of prosperity? And with millions of acres of
grain-producing land still waiting for the settler's plow why should
worry about the future? :

Why did the Government lease the Transcona car shops to a private com.
pany for the manufacture of shells? Well, perhaps you had better ask
Thomas. The Shell Committee was the part of the Dominion Ge
with which he came in contact. So when the Government proposed
in to manufacture shells without saying anything about price you
him throwing up his hands and exclaiming “Heaven forbid!” He
he said to the Government was, “put in a tender.” Well, you know
Committee never did care for tenders, anyway. It just shied off E
Government with it. 7 —

The Liberal press is loudly demanding the resignation of Ea w
M.P.P. for Peel because he is alleged to have made an odd dollar in |
horses for the Government. As usual the astute Opposition org
allowed the Government to draw a red herring across the trail and
full hue and cry on'the false scent. And while they are howli:
out over a spavined horse or two the Government has had the §
mittee quietly and respectably buried and is leaving it to Messrs. 7
Brand to prove that the good committees do live’ after-them.

The tributes the English representatives pay to the late 1
most touching. It “has met with remarkable success in d:
difficult task.” “The measure of its success can be gauged by hi
results achieved.” In fact it was such a remarkably able and ec
organization that one wonders where those distinguished Engl
found the heart to abolish it. But abolish it they did for even if
members find place on the Munitions Board the latter is a new
different body. It is responsible to the Imperial authorities whet
Committee was responsible to the Dominion Government. To p
the Dominion Government has buried its “war baby” and the
murmers over the grave is “May its sins die with it.”

But the sins refuse to die. Manufacturers all over the coun

firms could get contracts while others could not even get their nz

political machine but to Sir Robert Borden for that investigation. The

One V. Sly who dealt in war supplies without a license is now serving a
four months’ sentence in an English prison. Would it be infringing on the
rights of the Munition Board to require Canadians who deal in war supplies to
be licensed? In other words, shouldn’t—well say a publisher require a license
to handle a contract for shells?

* * *

The suggestion that Canada should give credit to the Empire comes from
the London Times and should receive immediate consideration. The Thund-
erer calculates that in the present year Canada’s exports will exceed imports
by two hundred million dollars and points out that this balance will be at her
disposal for any credits that may be arranged for supplies to Britain in lieu
of cash payments. That the suggestion is timely everyone will admit. Can-
adians are of one mind in regard to the war. It is not Britain’s war or Can-
ada’s war but a war that involves the freedom of the world. No sacrifice
is too great to secure that freedom without which material prosperity would
be merely an aggravation. Canada must do everything in her power to help
bring the war to a successful close. Every bushel of grain, every dollar and
every man capable of bearing arms must be at the Empire’s disposal till free-

dom is assured, Belgium has been avenged and the German war machine

is in the scrap heap. It is Canada’s part not only to offer every assistance to
the Motherland but to grasp every suggestion as to how that assistance may
best be given. Giving Britain a line of credit will provide this young Dominion
with a new sensation, or rather two sensations—pride in being classed among
the creditor nations and pleasure that she is able to aid the Old Land finan-
cially in her hour of need. It is whisp@red that the Minister of Finance will
insist on our banks loosening up.
* * *

With the Shell Committee buried and the Munition Committee responsible
to the Imperial authorities the Government appears to have washed its hands
of the entire war contract business. But does it owe nothing to the country
it represents? There are idle factories in Canada that would be running full

- time if the Government were alive to its duties and capable of performing

them. Take the city of Guelph for an example. It has factory accommodation
to keep from 2,000 to 2,500 men working overtime on munitions. But though
its manufacturers are alive to their opportunities all the war orders they have
been able to land are a couple for shell plugs and one for shell boxes, the total
amounting to about $75,000. Would a business Government see a neutral
country flooded with war orders without putting forth some effort to secure
part of this business for its own idle factories? Does its responsibility to the

‘country cease when it shakes itself free from future charges of profiteering?

Do our Cabinet ministers draw their salaries for speeches they make at recruit-
ing meetings? ;
* * *

The busybodies who make other people’s morals their chief concern have
been at it again. The soldier who comes out of the trenches drenched and
shivering can now get his jorum of rum only three times a week. Formerly
he got it every morning. If I had my way every one of these “temperance”
people would be sentenced to a month in the trenches—without rum.

* * *

Recruiting has now reached the stage where men must be asked to leave
good positions to take their place in the ranks. It is a critical stage. When
England reached it she made changes in her rules to make the ranks more
attractive. Companies of chums were assured that they would be kept together
after enlistment and other promises were given. A Canadian who is enjoying
a fair salary hardly feels like taking the plunge until he is assured that he
will not be asked to act as batman to some young officer who never earned
$10 a week.

* * *

The Financial Post is among those who think explanations re the abolition
of the Shell Committee should be forthcoming. It says: “There is evidently
something as yet to be explained. One commission succeeds another without
the public being given what can be regarded as a satisfactory explanation.

Documents such as that issued by Mr. Hichens, the British representative,

intended obviously to allay the querulous, excite apprehension. There are, of
course, some things that it is not wise to discuss publicly, but as to the supply
of munitions, or such as comes within the sphere of the Shell Committee’s
work, frankness and publicity would appear to be better for the Government
as well as for the nation. In the public mind there will undoubtedly remain
the question, ‘Why are all these changes necessary?’ Are our Ministers and
their staffs to be permitted to thus lightly hand over their responsibilities to
commissions?”

SEARCHLIGHT.

According to a nestimate made by the Canadian Pulp and Paper
Association, there are at least 15,000 people directly dependent on
the pulp and paper industry in Canada. This means 3,000 to 3,500
families, and about 4,000 to 5,000 individuals actually working. Of
the total 15,000, probably 12,000 are east of Fort William. About
two-thirds of these are in two large areas, one of which centers about
Montreal and the other a little north of the Niagara Peninsula. A
hundred miles radius from Hamilton, Ont., and a 125-mile radius

from Montreal would therefore include about two-thirds of the paper
population of Montreal. Outside of these two areas there are large
but more or less isolated plants.

Lumbermen Have Wide Privileges on Rivers

The case of Gilbert vs. J. Austin & Sons which was recently heard
by Judge McMillan in the County Court of the County of Victoria,
Ont., involved much the same principle as the case of Lowery and
Goring vs. Booth, the judgment in which was published in the Canada
Lumberman of December Ist. The judgments given by Judge Mc-
Millan in the Gilbert vs. Austin case and by Mr. Justice Middleton
in the case of Lowery and Goring vs. Booth are similar in principle:
The plaintiff, Samuel Gilbert is a farmer in the township of Snow-
don and he brought action for damages against J. Austin & Sons of
Kinmount for the flooding of his lands. About ten years ago J.
Austin & Sons built a dam on the Burnt River below the plaintiff’s
land, and they admit that they put in stop logs’ to enable them to
float their timber. Judge McMillan based his decision upon the
Rivers and Streams Act which, he says, gives a right, during spring,
summer and autumn freshets, to flood and transmit timber down all
rivers, streams and creeks, and it is provided that, where necessary,
dams, aprons, slides, locks, booms or other works may be con-
structed so long as they do not cause unnecessary damage to the
rivers or their banks. Judge McMillan then quoted from Judge
Middleton’s decision in effect as follows :—The rivers of the province
are regarded as great highways for the transmission of timber and
the province has seen fit to confer upon those engaged in lumbering
extraordinary rights and privileges in connection with these rivers.
The timber industry is one of vital importance and apparently as a
matter of public policy the paramount right is given to a lumberman
to take his timber down the streams so long as he does not do un-
necessary damage, which is interpreted as meaning damage that
could be avoided by the exercise of reasonable care and caution.

In the present case, Judge McMillan said, all parties agreed that
the defendants had used these waters and the dam constructed by
them in the same way for years past as in the year 1915. There was
no evidence to show that the defendants had been in any way
negligent. On the contrary they used the stop logs only when
necessary. Having found against the plaintiff as above, Judge
McMillan dismissed the action, costs to be paid by the plaintiff.

Sawmill Employee Not a Lumberman

An interesting decision under the Workmen’s Compensation Act
has been given by the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia in the case of
Grant vs. Sutherland. This was a case of injury to a workman
employed in a sawmill. Mr. A. J. Campbell, as arbitrator, made an
award under the Workmen’s Compensation Act holding that Grant
was employed in a sawmill and not in lumbering, although the
sawmill was used in connection with the production of lumber.
Lumber operators appealed the case so as to make a test and settle the ©
point whether a man employed in a sawmill could be considered as
engaged in lumbering, and thus not come under the Workmen’s
Compensation Act. The Supreme Court upheld the decision of Mr.
Campbell and Grant therefore receives compensation under the Act.

Judgment Given in Timber Limit Suit

Mr. Justice Morrison has given judgment in the suit of the
Alberta Northwest Lumber Company vs. B. A. Lewis, a Seattle timber
and real estate broker, directing that he shall return farm property
in Alberta and sums of money received as payment on two sales of
timber limits on Howe ound. The suit was brought on the ground
that Lewis and his associates had misrepresented the quantity and

- quality of timber on the limits, and their suitability as logging propo-

sitions. The two sales are set aside by the judgment and the con-
tracts are rescinded. In one of the cases it was also held in the
judgment that Mr. Lewis had sold a limit on which the government
had issued other timber licenses.

An auction sale of timber lands was held by the Department of
Lands and Forests of Quebec on December 14th. In the lower
Ottawa agency the Rawdon and Chertsey townships were sold to M.
M. Minard of Rawdon for $305. In the upper Ottawa agency, M.
Gervais of Hull bought the Malaric township for $85. He also got
Lamothe township at the same figure. In the same agency M.
Desrouleaux bought the Desmoiselles township for $55, while Mr.
Benard got the Maralic township for $75. Pascalis township, in the
upper Ottawa agency, went to Mr. R. Groulx for the sum of $325. In
the Lake St. John east agency Bourget township No. 2 was not sold
while Ranges 5 and 6 in the township of Kenogami were bought. by
Messrs. Vailancourt and Perron of Robervale. These timber lots had
been advertised for auction sale last spring, but had been with-
drawn on account of the bids being too low.

Reduced Output in Eastern Canada

Reports Indicate Probable Decrease in Log Production
During Present Winter

Reports received by the Canada Lumberman from 26 important
mills in Eastern Canada, including Ontario, Quebec and New Bruns-
wick, indicate a reduced cut of logs in the bers this Yann ee:

tion appears to apply about equally to each province. 1e tota

Sin oe ae these mri in the winter of 1914-15 was 362,350,000

feet. During the present winter they will cut a total of 292,050,000

feet of logs. A number of these reports have been published in our

last two issues. The others are as follows:
* * *

Chew Bros., Midland, Ont., report that they expect to take out
between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 feet of logs this winter. Last winter
their bush scale was between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 feet. They
report a marked buoyancy in market conditions recently. This year,
Chew Bros., were sawing under contract until September 4th, when
they started to saw their own logs. They closed their mill for the
season on November 18th. Although only a portion of their stock,
sawn so late in the season will be in shipping condition before next
spring, they have sold their entire cut. They are carrying over a
large part of a raft in their mill pond to be ready for spring sawing.

* * *

The New Ontario Colonization Company Ltd., expect to take
out a fair stock of logs, mostly spruce, in connection with their opera-
tions at Jacksonboro, Ont., this winter. Last winter they took out
a comparatively light stock. They report that the outlook for the
coming year seems to them to be very favorable. They have on
hand a fair stock of seasoned lumber which is moving out satisfactorily
at the present time and they expect to have it pretty well shipped out
early next summer.

* * *

Smith, Fassett & Company, North Tonawanda, N. Y., report
that they are taking out 9,000,000 feet of logs in connection with their
Canadian operations this winter. Last winter they took out the
same quantity. They find that business is improving and they
expect improvement to continue. During 1916 they are looking for
good business and better prices both in Canada and the United
States. Their opinion is that while the probable output of lumber
both in Canada and the United States will not be any larger this
year than last year, the demand should be considerably larger.

* * *

Herman Weismiller, Bala, Ont., will take out 1,000,000 feet of
logs this winter. Last winter he took out about 200,000 feet. Mr.
Weismiller is putting in a spur track from the C. P. R. 730 feet long,
to connect with his planing mill. He reports that the lumber trade
has brightened recently, and that there is a good demand for any
lumber suitable for ammunition boxes. He expects the output of
logs this winter to be about equal to that of last winter, and as
1915 stocks are pretty well cleaned out he is looking forward to a
steadily improving market. ae ;

The Stone Lumber Company, Ltd., Marksville, Ont., expect
to take out 2,500,000 feet of birch and maple logs this winter. Last
winter their output was 1,000,000 feet. They report that their stock
is sold under contract and that they find the demand improving.
They are expecting that prices will advance. In their district logging
conditions are good and labor is plentiful.

* * *

Lauder, Spears & Howland, Toronto, report that they will take
out of the woods in connection with their northern Ontario opera-
tions this winter 7,000,000 feet of pine and 2,000,000 feet of hemlock.
Last winter they took out 8,000,000 feet of pine and 500,000 feet of

hemlock.
* * *

The Georgian Bay Lumber Co. Ltd., Waubaushene, Ont., expect
to take out 10,000,000 feet of logs this winter. Last winter they took
out about 12,500,000 feet. They expect that the general cut of logs
this winter will be much smaller than for many years past.

* * *

Graves Bigwood & Company, Byng Inlet, Ont., report that they
expect to take out of the woods this winter about 25,000,000 feet.
Last winter they took out 60,000,000 feet.

* ** *

The Lake Rosseau Lumber Company Ltd., Boakeview, Ont.,
expect to take out of the woods this winter, 2,225,000 feet of mixed
timber. Last winter they took out 2,000,000 feet.

The St. Maurice Lumber Company, Three Rivers, P. Q., report
that they expect, during the present winter, to take out 24,000,000
feet of logs on the St. Maurice. This will be sawn at Three Rivers,

P.Q. They will also take out 10,000,000 feet on the Batiscan River.
This will be sawn at Batiscan, P. Q. Last winter they took out the
same quantities on these rivers. The company report that the United
States market improved during November. They expect a good demand
for their next season’s cut. Labor for the camps is plentiful and
wages are the same as they were last year.

* * *

Gilmour & Hughson, Hull, P. Q., report that they will take out
12 or 13 million feet of logs this winter. Last winter they took out
25,000,000 feet. They report that while trade conditions for some
time past were unfavorable, the present outlook is much more hope-
ful; shipments being made more frequently now than they have been
for a long time past.

& * *

Edwards & McLeans, Bonaventure, P. Q., report that they expect
to take out 6,500,000 feet of logs this winter. Last winter they took
out 8,650,000 feet.

€

The Northwest Lumber Company, Edmonton, Alta., will take out }

25,000,000 feet of logs this winter, giving employment to over 600
men. Last winter they took out 20,000,000 feet.

been authorized to begin recruiting for the battalion which he is rais-
ing for overseas, we may expect that there will be considerable activity
in this military division for the next month or so. Anything to which
Sir William puts his hand will be carried out with energy, enthusiasm
and efficiency. His past record is a guarantee of that. Consequently
we can be confident that there will soon be a new and really repre-
sentative Quebec regiment in the field to’ uphold the honor of the
Ancient Capital on the fighting line.”

Of particular interest to buyers of Arkansas Soft Pine is the re-
cent appointment of J. J. Dilling as Sales Manager for the Stout and
Cotton Belt Lumber Companies of Thornton and Bearden, Ark., re-
spectively. Mr. Dilling assumed his new duties December 15th,
succeeding Chas. G. Atkinson, resigned. The sales of the two com-
panies, which are allied enterprises, are conducted through the main
office at Thornton and involve the disposal of approximately eig
million’feet annually. Mr. Dilling’s succession is a logical
having served for several years past in the capacity of Assistant §

Manager at Thornton, during which time he has developed a wide

acquaintance among lumber buyers. Mr. Dilling has been connected
with the Stout interests in various departments over a period of
twelve successive years. He is, therefore, a thoroughly experienced -
lumberman and well qualified to undertake his new duties.

Death of Abraham Knechtel

Abraham Knechtel, Dominion Inspector of forest reserves, died
at Ottawa recently after a short illness. The late Mr. Knechtel was
born in 1859 and was a native of Brussels, Ont. He was one of the
pioneers in scientific forestry on this continent. He graduated in
1900 from Michigan Agricultural College, receiving the degree of
Bachelor of Science. He then took a special forestry course at
Cornell University, receiving the degree of forest engineer. For
several years prior to going to Ottawa to take up work in the
forestry branch of the Dominion government he was attached to the
forest, fish and game commission of the state of New York and in
that connection laid out the first forest plantation established by the
state. In 1904 he was sent to the St. Louis Exposition to lay out a
forest nursery there for the commission. In recognition of his
services there, he received a special medal. Inthe same year, he was
sent by the New York commission to Europe to study forest condi-
For several years Mr. Knechtel also
delivered lectures in New York under the auspices of the New York
state school board.

r Charles Hadley of Chatham, Ont., Dead

Mr. Chas. Hadley, Chatham, Ont., of the firm of C. & J. Hadley,
died suddenly at his home recently. Mr. Hadley had not been in
good health for some time. About eight months ago he suffered a
slight stroke which left him with a weak heart. Mr. Hadley was the
eldest son of the late Sylvester Hadley a prominent lumber dealer of
Chatham. As a young man he became associated with his father’s
business and continued at it for 25 years. A few years ago he
severed his connection with the S. Hadley Lumber Company and
became senior member of the firm of C. & J. Hadley, dealers in
lumber, sand and gravel. Under his direction the business was very
successful. The late Mr. Hadley is survived by his wife and one son,
Sylvester, also by three brothers and five sisters.

Stone Lumber Company Loses Foreman

Edward King, foreman for the Stone Lumber Company Ltd.,
Marksville, Ont., died suddenly of heart failure on December 11th,
while in the woods with his men. The late Mr. King was born near
St. John, N. B., fifty years ago. As a young man he moved to Bob-
caygeon and subsequently to Kinmount, Ont. He was in the employ
of Craig and Austin for fifteen years. Five years ago he took charge

‘of the mill of the Stone Lumber Company, Ltd., at Marksville, Ont.

Mr. King was an expert with circular saws and a first class mill-
wright. He was of a very likeable disposition and had a wide circle
of intimate friends. At his funeral the pallbearers were six men
who had worked for him since he went to Marksville, and everyone
of the employees of the company attended the funeral. The obse-
quies were in charge of the Masonic Order, of which Mr. King was a
member. Mr. King is survived by his wife and two sons.

The Late James Mapes Dodge

Mr. James Mapes Dodge, chairman of the Board of the Link-Belt
Company, died at his home in Philadelphia on December 4th. The
late Mr. Dodge was born on June 30th, 1852, at Waverly, N. J., and
had a remarkably successful career, both as an inventor and a business
man. His inventions were responsible for great improvements in the
methods used for elevating and conveying many kinds of manufac-
tured products. Probably his most successful invention was one
which reduced the cost of handling coal in and out of storage from
30c and 40c per ton per round trip to less than 5c.

Timber Conditions in Smoky River Valley |

A report upon timber conditions in the Smoky River Valley and
Grande-Prairie Country has been issued as a bulletin by the Forestry
Branch of the Department of the Interior. The report gives the re-
sults of a survey of the country which lies between range 23, west
of the 5th meridian, and the Alberta-British Columbia boundary, and
extending from the 15th base line on the south to the Peace River
Block and Pouce Coupe and Burnt Rivers plateau on the north. The
survey covered an area of 9,500 square miles. The region belongs
mainly to the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains and to the foot-
hills. Of the area examined about 8,000 square miles is forest land
and 1,500 square miles prairie land. Fires have done great damage
to the forests, but it is estimated that the total of saw-timber on the
area would be 3,727,080,000 feet B. M., and of cordwood 10,654,400
cords.

The valley of the Smoky River was once very rich in saw-timber,
but fires have destroyed the best of it. The rather small quantity
still existing is found scattered in small patches along the river bot-
toms or in isolated groups on the slopes.

The Smoky-Simonette timber was the main stand found, and it
is considered of real importance.

The permanent forest can be classified into six different types
which are generally determined by the quality of the soil, the condi-
tion of drainage and the altitude. They are (1) river-bottom type, and
(2) lower-slope type, which are much alike, (3) high-slope or height-
of-land type, (4) summit-plateau type, (5) muskeg type, and (6) high-
mountain-slope type. The species of trees forming these different
types are the following :—Lodgepole pine, white spruce, aspen poplar,
balsam poplar, black spruce, tamarack, Englemann spruce, alpine
fir, northern canoe birch. In permanent forest white spruce is the
predominant species in river-bottom and lower-slope types; poplar
is often found in admixture. Lodgepole pine occupies the first rank
in the height-of-land type, high-slope type and summit-plateau-type, ©
with a variable quantity of white spruce and poplar in the two first
types, and in the other black spruce and alpine fir. The muskeg type
is composed mostly of black spruce and tamarack, while Englemann
spruce, pine and alpine fir form together the high-mountain-slope type.

The bulletin concludes with detailed recommendations regarding ©
proposed additions to forest reserves and the organization of a good
system of fire protection.

A Plan to Provide Vessels for British Columba

J. H. Moore, vice president of the Canadian Puget Sound Lumber
Company, recently visited a number of the principal United States
cities on business. Upon his return he stated that the demand for
lumber was improving, not only for export to Europe, but for domestic
consumption in the United States. He expressed strong opinions
regarding the importance of securing sufficient tonnage for handling
British Columbia’s export trade. The Government of the province
had guaranteed railway bonds to an enormous extent and he be-
lieved that it was equally important for the Government to assist in
the marketing. of lumber by export by guaranteeing bonds for the
development of a shipping company. Mr. Moore had in mind vessels
of the schooner type capable of carrying about 1,000,000 feet. He
suggested the formation of a company with about $3,000,000 capital
into which the lumbermen would put some $300,000, the balance being
raised by bonds guaranteed by the provincial government.

Match Splints Required in Australia

There is a considerable quantity of match splints being imported,
chiefly from Japan, by the Australian manufacturers of matches
whose factories are in Melbourne. Generally, the splints are dipped
in a solution of phosphate of ammonia (to prevent the heads glowing)
before shipment is made. This trade may be of interest to Canadian
manufacturers, particularly those near the seaboard, as inland freight
adds considerably to the f. 0. b. steamer cost. Quotations on the
basis indicated, or preferably c. i. f. Melbourne, if forwarded will be
submitted to Australian match-makers. This line is duty free to
the United Kingdom (from which no supplies are being shipped),
and 5 per cent. to all other countries. The boxes in which safety
matches are packed are principally made from skillets—from Queens-
land green pine—which enables the wood to be bent without break-
ing, and it is doubtful if dry imported pine would be suitable for that
purpose. Any data, however, furnished in respect to skillets will be
brought under the notice of match manufacturers. Owing to the
high freights and to the difficulties in obtaining supplies of suitable
lumber for the required purpose, there now exists a much stronger
demand than usual for match splints.

The splints used are of one size only, viz., 50m. long x 2.2m.

Manufacturers will not accept splints made from dark
colored wood. The color should approximate as closely as possible
Russian “Aspen.” The splints must also be impregnated by dipping
in a solution of phosphate of ammonia.

The packing for export is a most important feature, as the splints
must be arranged in such form as to be easily fed into the machines.
Australian match manufacturers only purchase splints put up in the
form of small barrels, one of which is illustrated herewith. These
barrels consist of about 8 layers of splints, each layer being bound
round with two light but strong pieces of string.

The layers, in which the splints stand upright, are about 12 to 14
inches in diameter, but a slight variation in this measurement would
make little difference. In order to keep the eight layers in the form
of a barrel, thin sheets of veneer or other suitable material are placed
right round them, secured by three or more wires,

as possible.

January 1, 1916

Across the top and bottom of the barrel thin sheets of veneer
are also placed, these sheets being held in place by two or more wires
placed lengthwise right round the barrels.

The advantage of having the splints packed in the manner
described is that each layer can be placed direct into the machines
without any intermediate handling, thus saving considerable expense
incurred over those packed in an ordinary case. The form of the
package illustrated is, if anything, on the frail side, and it is possible
for Canadian manufacturers to devise a further covering of some cheap
paper or other material which would prevent any waste or loss in the
event of the barrels receiving severe handling in transit.

3y expert opinion, based on the present output, it is estimated

that the annual requirements of Australian match manufacturers are
from 6,000 to 8,000 million splints.
eight barrels contain one million splints.

Particulars relative to the present prices paid by Australian —

manufacturers are available to Canadian suppliers upon application
to the Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa. (Refer File

Bathurst Lumber Company Issuing $1,000,000 in Bonds

The Bathurst Lumber Company, Ltd., of Bathurst, N. B., is

issuing in New York $1,000,000 first mortgage five-year 6 per cent.
convertible gold bonds. This makes a total capitalization of the
company at the present time of $6,000,000. The other $5,000,000 are
represented by an authorized common stock to that amount, of which
$3,036,150 has been issued. The company’s timber rights in New

Brunswick and Quebec cover 1,000,000 acres, on which it is estimated

there are 1,884,000,000 feet of saw timber and 11,136,000 cords of pulp-
wood. This timber has an estimated standing value of over $5,000,000.
The company also owns the water rights at Grand Falls, on the
Nepisiguit river, the second largest in the province of New Bruns-
wick, affording a development of 10,000 horse’ power. It has 10,000
additional acres of land in fee, and owns and operates three saw
mills, with a total annual capacity of 60,000,000 feet; an electrically-
driven planing mill with an annual capacity of 25,000,000 feet; and
a pulp and container board mill with an annual capacity of 30,000
tons. The total value of the property, exclusive of lumber is in
excess of $2,000,000. The net earnings of the company last year were
$157,098 from the mill cut. The pulp mill, which has only been com-
pleted during the past two months, is operating satisfactorily, and is
officially stated to be developing a production which exceeds the
estimated output of the engineers. The container board mill is near-
ing completion, and will be in operation from the first of the year.
The president of the company is Senator Edwards, of Ottawa, and a
number of Americans are on the directorate, namely: F. M. Kirby,
Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; H. Crosby, Buffalo; F. L. Peck, Scranton; C. M.
Carrier, Punta Gorda, Fla.; Cyrus D. Jones, Scranton; Hugh McLean,
Buffalo; E. S. Peck, Scranton, and M. E. Priesch, North Tonawanda.

Detroit’s Lumber Board of Trade

The Detroit Lumber Board of Trade, recently organized, have
elected the following officers:—president, Wm. E. Brownlee; vice-
president, John C. Lodge; treasurer, C. H. Hecker. The directors
are:—W. A. C. Miller, Jeff B. Webb, Louis Schmeid, E. E. Hart-
wick, Geo. I. McClure and Arthur F. Hoyt. There are 115 charter
members to the new board. Mr. Brownlee, the president is head of
the Brownlee Lumber Company, one of the largest of Detroit’s hard-
wood firms. Vice President Lodge is secretary of the Dwight
Lumber Company, a prominent figure in the retail trade, and is also
a member of the Detroit common council. C. H. Hecker is an official
of the Detroit Lumber Company, whose main yards and branches
constitute one of the largest retail lumber systems in the middle west.
The idea of the organization, so far as membership is concerned, is to
include all who are engaged in the lumber business, either as pro-
ducers or sellers. The membership is divided into three classes:-—

Class A—retailers and wholesalers operating yards in Wayne County ©

(the county in which Detroit is located) ; class B—wholesalers and
manufacturers operating sales offices only in Wayne County and
woodworking manufacturers; class C—lumber and sash and door
salesmen not maintaining offices in Wayne County.

Much of the business of the board will be to co-operate in the
national movement for increasing the consumption of lumber pro-
ducts. The annual fees are graded according to yearly sales of
members, the minimum being $25 and the maximum $200. :

Committees have been appointed upon organization, member-

ship and finance; newspaper publicity, direct advertising, permanent
exhibit and public speakers; and commercial legislation. During
the first week in January a dinner will be held at which architects,
builders and others interested in construction will be invited to be
present, .

Australia’s Imports Show Decrease

A Drop of Nearly 75,000,000 feet in Receipts of State of
Victoria— Consumption and Stocks also Decline

Victoria is the only Australian state in which (for a long period)
« detailed compilation has been made of the imports, local consump-
tion and stocks of oversea timber held to June 30, in each year. Prac-
tically all the timber was discharged at Melbourne. While New
South Wales is the largest timber importing state, the comparative
statistical data appended, for the last two years, can be accepted as an
illustration of the reduction in importations and the decrease in both
consumption and stocks of timber held throughout the Common-
wealth. As compared with the previous year, the importations
declined by 74,439,000 super. feet, the consumption by 49,280,000
super. feet and the stocks held on June 30, 1915, show a contraction
of 16,401,000 super. feet. The war, the recent drought (with a con-
sequent decline in building), and the lack of freight facilities have
as in other lines of imports, formed a combination of adverse cir-
cumstances which is forcibly reflected in the several accompanying
schedules.

Particulars of imports and consumption for the twelve months
ended on June 30, 1915, together with the stocks held on that date in
- the State of Victoria—in comparison with the previous year—are as

Laths and Pickets

Importations of American laths and pickets were 10,630,000
pieces and 658,000 pieces respectively for 1914-1915. The percentage
decrease in imports for the year ended June 30, 1915, compared with
1913-1914, is 53.65 per cent., whilst consumption for the same period is
32.46 per cent less. The quantities received since June 30 and com-
ing forward indicate no dearth of supplies on the present basis of con-
sumption.

Safety Matches in Australia

Inquiries having been received from Canada relative to marketing
matches in Australia, the particulars embodied under this heading
are submitted for the information of Canadian manufacturers.

_ It shoud be particularly noted that phosphorous matches are pro-
hibited from importation into the Commonwealth.
The wood matches usually imported into Australia are the im-
pregnated safety matches—to strike on the box—being of white

with brown heads, packed in boxes each containing 60 sticks;

~ -
Pm, y Are d

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 35

a dozen of these boxes are wrapped in paper packets and 600 packets
(50 gross) are packed in a case—the case being zinc lined. Generally,
the shipping companies will not accept such cargo unless the zinc
lining is provided, and buyers usually stipulate for lining in this way.
Quotations have been occasionally made for strong kraft paper lining,
but this is not generally acceptable to importers.

To comply with the Commerce Act, each box of matches has to
be stamped with the country of origin and the average number of |
sticks per box, for example “Average contents 60 matches. Made in
Canada.”

According to the old customs tariff, each brand of the matches
had to be registered in Australia, otherwise an extra duty of 7d. (14
cents) per gross of boxes had to be paid. Under the new tariff this
provision is omitted but until the tariff is passed by Parliament the
Customs demand this extra duty being paid as a deposit. The
customs duty is now &d. (16 cents) if made in the United Kingdom
only and 1s. 2d. (28 cents) if made in other countries—including
Canada—per gross of boxes, each box not to contain more than 100
matches. If 100 matches per box is exceeded extra duty at full rates
has to be paid.

Countries of Origin

Prior to the war, the imported safety matches were chiefly
Swedish and English, to a small extent Norwegian, Dutch, Austrian
and Belgian, but none of the latter were popular on account of the
aualities offered.

Since the outbreak of the war, practically the only matches ob-
tainable under fresh contracts have been Japanese, while limited sup-
plies of Swedish, English and local makes have been provided under
old contracts. A few Swedish have been quoted at 3s. 6d. (85 cents)
per gross cif. & e. Melbourne and Sydney, equal to about 4s. 10d.
(1.18) delivered into warehouse, duty paid and less 2% per cent.
discount. Local matches have been supplied at 2s. 9d. (67 cents) per
gross, less 2% per cent., delivered. The local matches are packed in
paper lined cases and in a number of instances only contain 40 to 50
matches per box.

Japanese safety matches are now quoted at ls. 614d. (37 cents)
per gross, c.i.f. & e. Melbourne and Sydney, equivalent to about 2s.
10¥4d. (70 cents) per gross, less 2% per cent. discount, delivered into
store.

Prior to the war, based on the old rate of duty 6d. (12 cents) to
the United Kingdom and 1s. (24 cents) to all other countries, Eng-
lish and Swedish matches were sold at about 2s. 1%4d. (51 cents) per
gross, less 2% per cent., delivered but with the extra duty and much
increased freights—together with the advance of raw materials—
these prices are no longer possible.

_The quotations given herein are for what is known to the trade
as “full sized matches” averaging 60 sticks to the box, which is the
box looked for by retail buyers.

A few standard sample boxes of the safety matches used in

Australia can be seen at the Department of Trade and Commerce,

Canada’s United Kingdom Exports Growing

In the November 20th issue of the Timber Trades Journal, of
London, England, we are pleased to note an interesting reference to
the Special Issue of the Canada Lumberman which was published on
November Ist. “The promotion of export trade,” says our contemp-
orary, “is a predominant feature of the issue of the Canada Lumber-
man dated November Ist. Nicely printed, as usual, on good paper,
our influential contemporary contains many illustrations and descrip-
tive articles, the sole object of which is to bring to the mind of the
reader the fact that Canada has an enormous capacity for the produc-
tion of those products of wood that will be required in the rebuilding
of the war-devastated areas of Europe.” The Timber Trades Journal
then quotes briefly from our Special Issue and concludes as follows :—
“We can assure the Canada Lumberman, its readers, and our own
subscribers in the Dominion that we will do our best in assisting the
further use of Canadian woods on the Continent of Europe. But Can-
ada need not wait until the was%is over for an increasing market on
this side; in truth she is not waiting, for her exports of sawn wood to
the United Kingdom during the past ten months were 936,776 loads,
valued at £4,222,000, against 674,191 loads, valued at £2,197,000, for
the corresponding period of last year.
will continue to grow year by year.”

B. C. Log Production During November

The B. C. forestry department has issued the monthly statement
of the cut in the province, giving the figures for November. There
were cut in the province 47,436,313 feet, board measure, of saw-logs,
291,577 lineal feet of piles and poles and 9,386 cords of ties, shingle
bolts and posts. By districts the cut of sawlogs scaled was: Van-
couver, 31,319,771 feet; Cranbrook, 6,953,170 feet; Nelson, 3,572,906
feet ; Island, 3,201,743 feet; Vernon, 1,037,901 feet: Kamloops, 790,541
feet; Prince Rupert, 482,769 feet. In the Nelson district 203,992 lineal
feet, and in Cranbrook division, 85,370 feet of piles and poles were cut.

Breakage and Bonus in Logging Operations

The subject that has been allotted to me is “The Breakage of
Timber”—the old, old subject that originated with the felling of the
first tree in history, and has continued to haunt all loggers and tim-
ber owners, not as the proverbial skeleton in the cupboard, but as
the living terrible fact in plain view at all times.

There are two great destroyers of timber: (1) Destruction by
fire; and, (2) Destruction by breakage.

Destruction by breakage must, be divided into two classes,
namely: (a) That breakage which cannot be helped, and which is

- sometimes necessary for the saving of more valuable timber; and,

(b) that which is caused by carelessness; inexperience; improper
management; incompetent judgment; excessive speed on the part
of timber fellers in their attempt to fell a large scale in a given period
of time to secure additional pay or bonus money; and failure to have
all windfalls bucked ahead.

Heavy Percentage of Breakage

Before going any further let us go into the matter of the per-
centage of breakage. One authority, discussing this problem, insists

_ that one-third of all the timber—taking it straight through—that is

felled, on good and bad ground, is destroyed by breakage, and adds
that two-thirds of this enormous waste is due to carelessness. Other
authorities are less severe in their assertions and place the average
breakage of all operations at between five and fifteen per cent. As a
matter of fact, can anyone definitely state that he has the actual
figures that will show the real percentage of the original stand of
timber that has been left on the ground, after all merchantable logs
have been removed?
breakage that we hear about are for the larger part figures of esti-
mation or guess work? A well known gentleman informed me a
tew weeks ago that in one operation the breakage amounted to 37
per cent—yes, and he made that assertion with a smile on his lips.
Just think of 1t—37 per cent. of a beautiful stand of this “God-given
—man destroyed” resource lost forever to the uses of mankind. Fur-
ther on in his conversation this gentleman added: “Our labor cost
of felling has been reduced considerably this year.” But at what a
cost. How trifling must be the saving of a few cents per thousand
feet in this one phase of felling when compared to the man who owned
the timber and who had paid the taxes.

Results Actual Scale Record

I present for your interest some information taken from actual
scale records. It must be stated that the timber under consideration
was an old growth of yellow (Douglas) fir, western hemlock, cedar
and spruce, the stand being, I should imagine, between 80 and 100
M to the acre. The ground was rough. The fellers were operating
under a bonus system, and a wood’s scaler was employed to scale
after them. I am not going into the details of the bonus system. My
particular interest being the breakage, it gives me pleasure to cite
a passage from my files.

For one week, in which five sets of fellers were working, the
number of set-days was 27; the total number of trees felled numbered
311, containing in all 1,082,565 feet B. M. (Spaulding scale rule) in
merchantable logs. The average scale per set-day amounted to
40,095 feet B. M. The actual breakage of timber amounted to
an an average of 3,988 feet M. M. per set-day; or, approxi-
mately 9 per cent. of the stand of timber felled during this
week was broken up or left on the ground. So, during this week five
sets of fellers were accountable for 107,676 feet of broken, valueless
timber. Supposing the stumpage to be worth $3.00 per M, then
these five sets of fellers smashed $323.03 worth of timber. The labor
cost (not including the overhead charges against them for the period)
amounted to $184.85, plus several dollars bonus money distributed
among the scale efficient sets.

Here then is the climax. There was a waste in value amounting
to 57 per cent. more in broken timber than the value of the wages
paid the men for the work. Or, to satisfy myself that the meaning
of these figures will be clear to you, it can be stated that each set
received $6.85 per day—and smastted $12.00 worth of timber, each
and every day during the week. That is of course basing the

stumpage at $3.00 per M.

As I have heretofore stated, these men were working under a
bonus system and, from what I understand, the management is sat-
ished with the working of it. The. principles for which the system
stands are working out. As with other “Output Bonus Systems”
the main idea is to reduce the cost of felling by increasing the output,
paying the men for additional labor. The system is clever so far as
it goes.

Some Bonus Systems Increase Breakage

I am not attacking any particular felling bonus system, but I
will rigorously attack any and all methods that will have the least
tendency to increase breakage. The felling of each tree is a problem

*An address by Neol Aylmer Dew, before the recent Pacific Logging Congress,

Is it not a fact that most of the percentages of

7 “ é i = Ry
January 1, 1916

of its own and requires an amount of study, thought and keen judg-
ment borne of experience. I am suggesting that any system that will
offer remunerative incentive for faster work and bigger output will
tend to cause less care on the part of the fellers in their natural rush
and endeavor to secure the additional bonus money offered.

By the increased pace of the men and the bonus money paid for
faster work, are the men who own the stumpage, logging plants,
machinery, etc., getting all the timber they should get?

Will the decreased cost of felling due to these bonus systems
overcome the value of waste broken timber?

Is bonus going to increase breakage?

These are vital questions to any timber owners, capitalists, bond
holders of timber lands, timber factors and cruisers, as well as log-
ging operators. They are particularly vital to men who are contem-
plating the engineering of bonus systems for their own fellers in
their own operations, operating upon their own holdings, and still

more vital to timber owners who contract the logging of their timber
to contracting logging companies. aero: .

Fire Loss Diminished

Fire takes place occasionally, but breakage takes place every
day, rain or sunshine, that your timber fellers hew and saw. To

safeguard the valuable forests against the old enemy Fire, numerous — ;
laws have been enacted, Fire Protective Associations have been ;
formed, and the fire hazard has been reduced magnificently. E. T. 7
Allen, at the Congress at Bellingham last year, delivered a report ‘
on the progress of co-operative fire prevention and stated that the i
actual loss by fire was a thousandth of one per cent. of the timber

protected. ‘
I look forward to the time when some able gentleman will de- — a
liver a report on the progress of co-operative breakage prevention.

Breakage is Largely Preventable

Breakage, two-thirds of it at least, is caused by the overt acts
of man. Thousands and thousands—yes, millions of feet of sound
timber that should have been converted into merchantable logs have an
been thus wasted, are being wasted to-day and will continue to be
wasted unless you gentlemen combine to check the further ravages
of this too slightly studied waste, using the same co-operative spirit
that you use against the fire menace. My advice to you is this: Don’t
be satisfied with an estimate given to you by one of your executive
employees of the breakage on your own operations; have it sealed
by a competent scaler and then yoyu will have the real figures. Be
sure that you know what your percentage of breakage is before you —
engineer your bonus system for your fellers. Otherwise, you will
not be certain whether your breakage is decreasing or increasing.

Don’t lose sight of the fact that increase of waste of merchant- *
able timber that will remain on your cut-oyer lands, after the logger
has removed his machinery, will increase the cost of clearing the
land when the time comes along when you will want the plough to
work and not the axe or donkey engine. Breakage undoubtedly to
a great extent materially affects the value of your cut-over lands for
this reason—the greater amount of rubbish left on your hands, the —
greater the cost of clearing and naturally, the reduction in value per
acre.

What has been the greatest argument against contracting felling —
in logging operations. The answer I think you will agree is break-
age. In the natural attempt of the contractor to make money, max-—
imum output by speed and not “Safety first” has been his axiom,
with the result that excessive breakage has been the report of your
own examiners after the work of the contract has been completed. _—_—-

Bonus System Based on Reduced Breakage |

I suggest that the “greater the output, the greater the pay” bonus =>
system is a first cousin to the felling contract that most of you with ——
sound reasoning object to, and this type of a bonus system contains —
many of the dangers of the contract. Of course where you are oper-
ating the afore-described system you control your own fellers, but
your bonus system is to a certain extent a conglomerate of small
contracts, one for each set of fellers. =

Because you have submitted to breakage in the past does not —_—
definitely allow of there being no remedy. Scientists of many ideals tie
are striving to safeguard these forests for you; tree pathologists are __
making studies of tree diseases and are searching for a preventative
against conk, punk rot, and fungi of every known description; ento-
mologists are making studies of damage by insects and are daily in
their laboratories making every effort to cope with the trouble for
your timbermen; tree surgery has arrived in this country to stay,
and has been practiced by the French Government for years, and
all of this to save timber and you calmly allow 10 per cent. of your
own to be destroyed.

There is a remedy for everything, so we are told, and if so, a i=
remedy will surely be found if scientific loggers collectively search .
for it. Perhaps a suggestion may possibly help you. Fan.

results, because of the monetary incentive offered to employees.
Money talks. Why not offer remunerative incentive for reduction
of breakage? Why not appeal to the brains of your fellers and offer
them greater remunerative incentive than the present bonus system
offers to brawn?

First of all make a breakage study—get the exact percentage
and not guess work percentage. With this formidable data in hand
of what you have already lost to guide you, you can work out a
bonus system for your fellers that shall embrace a standard of break-
age. I suggest that the standard shall be the exact percentage
ascertained by your scaler. Let bonus then be pair at a ratio de-
termined by the value of the stumpage, at a bonus rate for each 1
per cent. of the saving under the standard. To illustrate: Let us
suppose that you have found that your breakage has amounted to
10 per cent., that your stumpage is worth to you to-day $3.00 per
M, and that your fellers are averaging 30 M feet per set-day (in
some camps felling sets average over 40 M and sometimes as high
as 50 M) and that each 30 M is manufactured into merchantable logs.
Approximately then standing trees containing 33,000 feet produce
30 M feet of merchantable logs and 3,000 feet is broken up and left
on the ground by each set each day. In relative values each set is
felling $99 worth of timber on a daily average; you are receiving $90
worth of logs and rubbish to the value of $9 is left on the ground.

Suppose that you offer to pay your fellers 10 per cent. of the
value of the stumpage saved, or in this suggestive case 9 cents bonus
for every 1 per cent. under the standard. A table of this sort would
result.

This of course is purely a suggestive table, and alterations should
of course be made to suit any requirements and to comply with every
and any stumpage value. You would also have to figure the pro-
portional bonus that in your mind you believe would be paid to the
head and second fellers. It is quite possible that many of you will
consider that the monetary incentive is not great enough and it will
be a question of how much you feel that you will be able to pay for
the saving.

You must take into consideration that you will have to engage
the services of a compettnt scaler who will be able to distinguish
readily what should have been merchantable timber and what would
have constituted valueless timber, if unbroken. It must be borne in
mind that in speaking of breakage I am referring to sound timber
that was in the standing tree, and which if unbroken, would have
been converted into merchantable logs. Rough knotty tree tops,
valueness cull timber and small limbs are of no known value, and
whether broken or not, must not be considered “breakage.” It
wouldn’t be fair to charge up against a set of fellers that portion of
a tree that was rotten half way up and happened to break in the
rotten spot, and which your head bucker has marked to be bucked
out.

Give Fellers a Square Deal

Give your fellers a square deal. See that all the windfalls are
This should be rigorously enforced by
the management. I have the data of one operation where the super-
intendent dispensed for a considerable period of time with the wind-
The buckers of the green timber had to buck these
windfalls after the trees had been felled over them. I have no data
as to the excessive breakage due to this method of procedure, but
you will not be surprised to learn that as soon as windfall buckers
were reinstated by the management the felling output average per

_ set-day immediately increased and the records of the buckers showed

vast improvement.
In the matter of costs, felling and bucking are in many cases
bracketted together. The costs, however, should be treated singly.

- The cost of bucking will be materially affected by better felling and

less breakage. There will be fewer cuts to make, because there will

be fewer breaks to cut out. 2
tL 3 Better scientific felling will ensure better bucking shows, and

there will not be so much rubbish for the yarding crews to fight.
Buckers working under “Greater Output” bonus systems, at least
those that are wise, will always try to get placed behind the fellers
that save their timber best because it means a better chance for them
to make bonus. Timber examiners, or head buckers as we term them,
are not quite the same type of men as the bull buckers of years ago.
The old bull bucker made the difficult cuts besides superintending
the work of the buckers and had no control of the fellers. To-day,
however, the head bucker is generally a master timber feller, and the
fellers in his charge know that he is.

“When engaging the services of a man for this position be sure
that he has had many years of experience along this line of work.
Your fellers will surely put it over the inexperienced man who is not
competent to cope with a felling problem that one of his head fellers
asks his advice about. Your head bucker is a very important man
to you. Look up his records very carefully before you hire him.
A good man is worth considerably more to, you than vou are in the
habit of paying for this position.

Combination Felling and Saving System

Felling output bonus systems have been installed to reduce the
costs of felling and it would be quite possible to install a saving bonus
system in the same operation; an amalgamation of the two could
be arranged. I would suggest, however, that in the event of this
being accomplished, greater monetary incentive be offered for saving
than for output. With the two schemes, felling costs and breakage
could be reduced at one and the same time.

“Care must of course be exercised that the gain through reduced
breakage will be more than offset by the cost of the care exercised,”
says one authority. “Generally speaking there is a relation between
the loss through breakage and the value of the stumpage increases
in value. This suggests that the method used must be considered in
connection with cost and return.”

_ My fervent desire is to learn that some progressive gentlemen
are going to make up their minds to go into this question and that
we shall soon hear of energetic steps being taken to reduce want on
breakage of timber in our woods operations.

Heavy Losses from Breakage

As soon as those gentlemen who own timber get together and
insist that their superintendents and foremen shall see that only a
percentage of waste shall remain on their. holdings, they will not
only be putting money into their own pockets, but they will be pro-
tecting in no slight measure the future of the industry, and the gen-
eral interest of the public. If you estimate the amount of timber
that has been removed from the forests of Oregon, Washington,
California, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia during the past
twenty years and tell yourselves that 10 per cent. of the-original
stands were broken up and left on the ground, the figures and values
will strike home the urgent necessity for some means that will elim-

inate the disaster that has continued its ravages ever since the ‘hand

of man felled the first tree, the disaster of yesterday and to-day.

Your timber lands are not only money to you, but money to the
masses. You are even planting forests for the use of future gener-
ations. Don’t you think it would be more economical to make «se
of all the timber that you own than to slaughter it when logging and
at the same time sow seeds for new forests to cover up your faults?

Many centuries ago there lived a philosopher, one Marcus Aure-
lius Antonius. I will terminate this address by quoting from his
wonderful writings: “If any man is able to convince me 2nd show
me that I do not think or act right, I will gladly change; for T seek
the truth by which no man was ever injured. But he is injured who
abides in his error and ignorance.”

B. C. Mining Activity Helping Lumber Trade

Mr. A. B. Buckworth, formerly of Ymir, B. C., whose head-
quarters are now in Vancouver, recently made a tour of inspection of
his timber holdings in the interior of British Columbia. In an in-
terview upon his return he expressed much satisfaction with the
outlook for the lumbering industry. Mining has received a new im-
petus during the’ past six months and is having a good effect upon
the lumbering industry in the interior. Much of the difficulty ex-
perienced by interior lumbermen in marketing their lumber of late
has been caused by the inability of the coast mills to secure trans-
portation for export, resulting in their stocks being placed upon the
prairie markets in competition with the interior product. The
present situation, he said, was a difficult one, but both he and those
whom he represented had full confidence in the outcome of conditions
in the lumber business of the interior and were content to let their
timber stand and grow, in the anticipation of a good market in the
not very distant future.

. The annual meeting of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers
Association will be held in Philadelphia, Pa., in March. 1916. The
exact date has not yet been announced.

Blister Rust Spreading

The alarming character of the
white pine blister rust and the
economic loss which it threatens
to the Northeastern and Western
United States are sharply em-
phasized by four recent serious
outbreaks on pine trees and eur-
rent bushes in Massachusetts and
New York, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. This
disease was introduced on im-
ported white pine.

In 1909 extensive importations
of diseased white pine nursery
stock were located and destroyed
in New York and other Eastern
states, and warnings were issued
broadcast against further importa-
tion of white pine from Europe.
In spite of these warnings imporf-
ation continued even from the
particular nursery in Germany
which was definitely known to
be the main source of disease, un-
til finally in 1912 all such import-
ation was stopped.

The white pine blister rust af-
fects the Eastern white pine, the
Western white pine, the sugar
pine and, indeed, all of the so-
called five-leaf pines, producing
cankers on the stems and
branches, killing young trees and
maiming and disfiguring old ones.
It also produces a leaf disease
of currant gooseberry bushes.
The fungus causing the disease
must live for a part of its life
on pine trees and part of its life
on currants and gooseberries. The
disease cannot spread from one
pine tree to another, but must
pass first to current bushes and
then back to pine.

In Europe the disease has made
the culture of American white
pine impracticable in England,
Denmark and Holland, and has
seriously handicapped its cultiva-
tion in Germany. Since the trees
which it attacks include three of
the most important timber trees
of the United States, the loss
which this disease will produce if
unchecked is very great. For-
tunately, the disease is not now
known to be present west of Buf-
falo, New York, but if it is not
checked in the Eastern states its
ultimate spread to the vast for-
ests of the Rocky Mountains and
the Pacific Coast is certain. The
disease now occurs in three lo-
calities in New Hampshire, two
in Vermont, ten in Massachusetts,
two in Connecticut, five in New
York, one in Pennsylvania and
three in Ontario, Canada.

The disease could be controlled
by the destruction of the diseased
white pines or the complete des-
truction of all current and goose-
berry bushes in the vicinity of in-
fected pine trees,

Wood Ware Openings in England

Good Opportunities for Developing Export Business
from Canada—Details of the Trade

A report upon the market in Great Britain for manufacturers of
wood, sent by Mr. H. R. MacMillan, Special Trade Commissioner, is
published in the Weekly Bulletin of the Department of Trade and
Commerce of December 6th. Mr. MacMillan points out that Great
Britain imports annually a considerable quantity of woodware and
wood turnery. In 1913 the value of these imports was $44,098,420
and in 1914, $8,861,400. Almost one half of these came from the
United States and the imports from Canada were the smallest from
any country from which these goods were received. From 1910 to
1913, while the imports from the United States increased from $3,379,-
958 to $6,684,326, the imports from Canada dropped from $538.829 to
$252,739. Roughly, one-third of these goods are re-exported to
British India, Nigeria, Australia, Argentina, and Ceylon, indicating
the possibility of building up direct exportations to the latter coun-
tries from Canada. Shipments to Australia include skewers, dowels,
clothes pegs and broom handles.
eastern Canada and the alder of western Canada are suitable woods
for these articles.

The most important imports into Great Britain under the head
of manufactured wooden articles, etc., are kitchen and house utensils,
toys, dowels, skewers, chair parts, broom handles, clothes pegs, brush-
hacks, birch squares for spools, handles and turned wooden boxes.
These articles, with the exception of tool and implement handles are
made almost exclusively from birch, poplar, beech, maple, basswood
or spruce. The handles are made chiefly from hickory and ash.
Maple handles, however, are exported to Great Britain from the
United States. There should be many firms in eastern Canada favor-
ably located to compete for this trade. Canadians could not compete
in the trade for certain smaller wooden articles such as toys, turned
wooden boxes and kitchen ware which are made in Europe of inierior
birch and poplar in large factories with excellent machinery overated
by women who get 40c a day or men who get 75s a day. The larger
articles which require wood over 2 in. in diameter, or wood faiily free
from knots, command higher prices and afford opportunities tor the
Canadian manufacturer. The following articles are imported in
large quantities from the United States, and to a small extent from
Canada:—Birch squares, 1% in., 1% in., 1% in., 2 in: square and
2% feet, 3 feet, 3% feet and 4 feet long. These are used for manu-
facturing spools and bobbins and for chair legs and the cabinet trade.
Pin knots are admissable but no large knots. Quebec birch is pre-
ferred because it is clean and hard. Scandinavian squares in normal
times sell at £9 per standard and 165 cubic feet, and about £12 may
be secured for Quebec birch squares.

Dowels are imported extensively, chiefly from the United States.

_ They are all birch and maple preferably, varying from 3-16 in. to 1 in.

in diameter and 12 in. to 108 in. in length. The best selling sizes
are ¥% in. diameter, 36 to 48 in. long, which sell c. i. f. English port
for 13s and 18s per thousand respectively. They should be tied in
bundles of 200. Since the outbreak of the war the price has risen to
17s 11d for 36 in. and 23s 11d for 48 in.

Broom and mop mandles are imported from Finland, Sweden and
the United States, the varieties being spruce, basswood, maple or
beech. Spruce and basswood are preferred because of light weight.
Sizes and prices per gross c. i. f. are :—

The report also gives details in regard to three-ply boxes in
which Great Britain does a large trade with Japan, China, India and
Ceylon. :

The Commission agents specializing in Great Britain in these
goods are very desirous of establishing new sources of supply. The
names of the most important of these importers have been forwarded
to the Commissioner of Commerce, Ottawa.

The B. C. Department of Lands has decided to appoint a lumber
commissioner for Toronto and Eastern Canada. It is expected that
the new commissioner will commence his work early in January.
Further particulars regarding the office, and work of the new com-
missioner will be published in our next issue. A commissioner has
already been appointed for the prairie provinces in the person of Mr.
W. H. Houston, formerly of Nelson, B. C., whose offices are in Regina.

Review of Current Trade Conditions

Ontario

Throughout Ontario, at the close of the year, the lumber trade
and industry was in a remarkably buoyant condition, caused by in-
creased demand and better prices than those which have prevailed for
some months past. The situation is an easy one to understand, but
none the less welcome. It is the result of conditions which have been
combining during the past several months to ueate in Canada one
of the greatest periods of industrial and commercial activity that she
has experienced since the days of the late lamented real estate boom.
When the enormous orders for war munitions and supplies required
by the Allies commenced to reach Canada, most of us felt that they
would mean much improvement in the general trade conditions, but
few were sanguine enough to expect a period of activity and prosperity
such as has now set in. The conditions which prevail to-day are be-
yond the dreams of even the most optimistic Canadians of a few months
ago; and although they have come about almost over night, they are
none the less sound or likely to be lasting. :

The war order business has simply started the circulation of
money and the rest has been easy. When the war order business
comes to an end, Canada will—if all the signs can be relied upon—
be in the middle of a period of great and general industrial activity,
sufficient in itself to take care of the depression which might other-
wise result if the war order business were the mainstay of trade. Our
crops have supplemented the war orders and brought great quantities
of ready money into the country. Many lines of industry which are
new to Canadians are being developed successfully to fill the demand
for goods which formerly we had to import. Already there are signs
that the building trade will soon be at least normal. If we are not
greatly mistaken, next summer will see a greater volume of building
operations, not perhaps of a residential nature, but of an industrial
nature; that is to say, the erection of plants and warehouses to take
care of our rapidly increasing volume of general trade. If this is a
correct interpretation of present conditions, the building of residences
also will not be long in reaching a more normal stage, although there
are, of course, throughout Canada large numbers of unoccupied houses.
However, the mainstay of the lumber business, the manufacturers who
use lumber as a raw material, the railroads, and the new factory build-
ings are.all promising a prosperous year.

Under all these conditions the opinion is now general that we
may look forward to a good season’s lumber trade during 1916. Sta-
tistics go to show that production will not be excessive this winter,
and that stocks in all hands are now reduced to a very healthy mini-
mui, from the point of the man who is in the lumber business; that
is to say, stocks are badly broken in retail yards, are not heavy in
wholesalers’ hands and are well sold out by manufacturers. We can
see nothing ahead of the lumbermen in Ontario but a good year, and
now that the prices of southern pine has gone sky high, and hemlock
is continually growing firmer in the United States we will have much
less of our two old bogies to worry about than we have ever had in
the past.

Eastern Canada

Lumber trade conditions at Montreal are quiet, as is to be ex-
pected at this time of year. There is, however, a much more optimistic
feeling among the trade than there was a short time ago. Orders are
coming in at a fairly good rate. One important wholesaler states that
he is now doing as much business as he was in July. The volume of
trade in shell box stock has fallen off to some extent as the Munitions
Board has not been taking quick delivery of boxes. Shell box makers
do not care to keep boxes in stock in large quantities and production
has therefore fallen off. The United States market continues on an
active scale. Trade with Great Britain is very quiet, as it is practically
impossible to obtain space on vessels leaving ports in the eastern
States during February or March.

The demand: for western spruce frames at Boston is fair and
offerings are light. Quotations are very firm, with the base price at
$26. Random continues active. The high cost of southern pine is
turning attention to the spruce market. Spruce covering boards, 5
in. and up wide, 8 ft. and up long are bringing $20, and matched
boards 10, 12, 14 and 16 ft. are bringing three to four dollars more.
Considerable improvement is reported in hemlock at Boston both in
the demand and in the prices, as a result of the strength of southern
pine. Quotations for hemlock boards have advanced fully $3, from
the lowest point last summer, and they continue to grow firmer.
Good clipped boards 10, 12, 14 and 16 ft. are bringing $22, and one
eastern manufacturer has put his price at $22.50. Shingles at Boston

are steady. Good brands of extra white cedars are offering at $340 — Mes
and some fairly good white cedars of the same grade are to be had at
$3.30. Clears are quoted at $3 and a few sellers will consider $2.90.
Red cedars are offered at $3.45 to $3.55, and are quiet. Lath is moy-
ing well for this time of year. For 1% in. the usual quotation is
$4.25, but a few manufacturers are asking five to ten cents more. 4

One Canadian manufacturer is quoting $3.75 at Boston on 1% in.
lath, but some offerings are available at twenty to twenty-five cents
less. ;

Prices of spruce dimension at Boston have advanced recently. __

Great Britain ‘a |

One subject only, is interesting the lumber merchants of Great |
Britain to-day, namely, the extraordinary prices now being paid and
the apparent impossibility of ever reaching a limit. Timber merchants —
in general are optimistic, and with good cause. Many other lines of —
industry have profited to a greater extent by the war than the timber
trade. The boom in the timber trade, however, although concerned
with government and army work at present, is likely to continue for
some time when these sources of demand have declined. In fact it —
is likely to be increased rather than to decrease, and timber merchants
are well justified in looking upon the whole situation hopefully. For
many years after peace is declared there should be a good market for
wood, far exceeding the ordinary supplies. o> :

The situation in connection with Swedish stocks continues very
uncertain. Germany still appears to command the Baltic largely, in
spite of British submarines, and if the position should be unchanged
at next open water, British trade in sawn goods with Sweden will de-
pend upon the maintenance of the present attitude on the part of
German authorities. 7

The spruce market at Liverpool is in a satisfactory condition.
Stocks are not heavy and holders are adopting an independent atti-
tude with a view to getting full value for their stocks. e volume
of business at Liverpool is good. Recent imports have been only
moderate. Further advances in all prices are reported from Man-
chester and quotations for spruce and floorings have reached extra-
ordinary figures, with a continued upward tendency. Spruce prices
were recently quoted at £22 10s for 3 x 11 in.; £19 10s for 3 x 9 in.;
£19 10s for 3x 9 in., £19 for 3x 7 and 8 in., and £19 10s for floorings,
c.i.f. basis. All grades of pine at Manchester have also advanced. 3 x
11 in. thirds were sold recently at £25 15s per standard ex yard. All
timber consuming industries are full of work, mostly on rush orders.
The pas question is the matter of labor, which is becoming
critical. :

At Glasgow, the bulk of the trade is on government orders. Prices
of white deals are advancing all the time, but the demand keeps up.
The present freight rate from St. John of 200s per standard makes it
necessary to obtain, for example, £23 for 3 x 11 in. ex quay. It

would cause no surprise if spruce were to become dearer than pine
before long.

United States f hie

The year 1915, which commenced in the United States with in-
dustrial depression and widespread pessimism, has gone out amid ~
such industrial and commercial activity as the country has never be-
fore known in all its remarkable history. Among those who have ©
cause to rejoice over the wonderful recovery, the lumbermen of the
United States are especially favored. They are looking forward to
the new year with feelings of confidence such as they have not enjoyed __
at any time during the seven years immediately preceding. Industrial
activity in the United States to-day is at high tension. The country’s __
crops during 1915 have been beyond all the dreams of the optimists.
The transportation lines throughout the United States are bearing ~_
enormous burdens of freight to all parts of the country. Labor is =
fully employed and capital is strained in production. Better times
have dawned for the poor as well as the rich, and all these blessings, _"
added to the unique blessing of peace, place the people of the United __
States in the most enviable industrial position of any nation in the
world to-day. Ey

The steel industry, which is to a great extent responsible for
prosperity in the lumber business, is enjoying unprecedented activity, ey
which, moreover, is not entirely based upon temporary war orders, _ j

but largely on demand from the railroads, ship yards and building and
structural enterprises. The steel mills are booked to their capacity

Market Correspondence

Montreal Trade Continues Brisk

Montreal, December 24th (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :
At this period of the year one generally expects the lumber trade to be
very quiet; the holidays naturally interfere with business, and con-
struction, except for repairs, is almost dead. This year; however,
there is a much more optimistic feeling. Wholesalers report that
orders have been coming in at a fairly good rate, the manager of one
firm stating that they were doing as much as in July. This is, of
course, not true of all concerns, but it indicates that substantial busi-
ness is still being transacted. Orders for box lumber have diminished,
owing to the fact that the Shell Committee is not taking quick de-
livery of boxes, with the result that the goods are being stored. This
retards production, as the various makers find it impossible to ware-
house the large quantities which would be made at the normal rate of
manufacture.

The orders for the United States are still satisfactory, the brisk-
ness of general commerce there helping Canadian wholesalers who
cater for that market.

The representative of a local firm exporting to the United King-
dom, who has returned from a visit to several New England ports,
states that he found it impossible to obtain freight space for ship-
ments to London during. February and March, the steamship com-
panies declining even to quote terms. He also states that he cannot
obtain room in vessels from St. John, N. B.

The sulphite pulp market is buoyant, owing to shortage of Euro-
pean supplies to the United States and the higher prices obtained
in Europe. Quotations in Canada have risen considerably, with the
outlook favorable to still further advances. Stocks are being bought
up very quickly. A fair amount of pulp has been sent to England,
and larger quantities would have been purchased for the same account
had not lack of shipping accommodation precluded transportation.
Ground wood is quiet.

Lachine Canal Lumber Shipments Doubled

According to the official figures of the traffic passing through the
Lachine Canal during the past season, the shipments of lumber from
Ottawa points to the United States more than doubled. The total
was 19,107,600 feet board measure, an increase of 10,486,800 feet. In
addition there were 41 rafts of 5,000 lineal feet each, a total of 205,000
lineal feet, this being a considerable decrease as compared with the
previous year. On the whole the pulpwood and pulp traffic was not
so large. Pulpwood passing up to Canadian ports totalled 23,759
cords, an increase of 1,019 cords, while to United States ports the
total was 114,192 cords, a decrease of 5,459 cords, the aggregate
decrease being 4,440 cords. No pulp was carried to United States
ports, against 1,600 tons in 1914. 26,137 tons, however, went to
United States ports, as compared with 36,012 last year, the total
decrease of this traffic being 11,475 tons.

Montreal Exports Show Large Increase

Montreal, December 20th—(Special to The Canadian Lumber-
man) :—With two exceptions, the principal exporters from the port
of Montreal increased their shipments to the Unite! Kingdom and
European continent during the past season. The figures given
below show a total increase of 35,113,623 feet, due to the impetus
given to the demand for spruce and birch owing to the war. The
Bennett Lumber Company come into the table for the first time.
They are a new firm, so far as the Montreal export trade is con-
cerned, and make a good showing. Watson and Todd, Ltd., continue

been overwhelmed with the demand and stocks have been wiped out
or disturbed so greatly that many orders are being declined. The
foreign demand is strong. The railroads are buying freely. Line
yards are hurrying to cover their requirements far into the future.
Yellow pine mills for the first time in many years find themselves in
a position to name the prices for their products. The volume of trade
in northern pine continues large at important centres such as Chicago.
Wholesalers report an increased request for upper grades. Retailers’
stocks are limited. Similar conditions prevail at Minneapolis. At
New York, higher prices prevail and the building situation is improy-
ing quickly. At North Tonawanda the trade is standing up well for
this time of year and shows a big improvement over the correspond-
ing period of last year.

to head the list, the slight decrease in their shipments being due to
the smaller call for pine, in which they specialize. Mr. E. M. Nichol-
son has the largest increase and is now in second place, because of
large orders for birch. Considering the poor outlook at the beginning
of the season and the difficulties attending high rates and scarcity of
space, Montreal firms have done exceptionally well during the past

year.

Douglas Fir Stands Severe Service Test

Mr. H. R. MacMillan, who holds a special commission under the

Wepartment of Trade and Commerce to study the extension of foreign

markets for Canadian lumber, has forwarded to Dr. John S. Bates,”

superintendent of the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, Mon-
treal, from Johannesburg, South Africa, a small specimen of wood for
identification. This was a piece of wood from an ore bin which had
seen twenty years hard usage in one of the Johnanesburg mines and
is stifl in an excellent state of preservation. Microscopic examination
by the wood technologist of the Forest Products Laboratories showed
that the specimen was Douglas fir. In the past, Canadian Douglas
fir has suffered a great deal in foreign markets from competition with
pitch pine from the southern United States. It is interesting to see
that Douglas fir has shown up so well in this particular service test
and is another proof of the high quality of our foremost Canadian
structural woods. Careful examination of Douglas fir and other
Canadian woods used abroad will no doubt do much to remove the
prejudice which has existed against them. A more thorough study
of methods of handling lumber for shipment abroad, in the way of
seasoning, inspecting for dry rot, etc., will ensure that the lumber
reaches the consumer in first class condition and thus build up a
permanent reputation for our products.

Mr. John Rogers, secretary of the Rogers Lumber Company,

Minneapolis, Minn., which operates a number of mills and yards along —

the international boundary in the United States and in the Prairie
provinces, visited Victoria, B.C., recently. He reports that the outlook
for the lumber industry is very encouraging for next spring, when he
thinks that a higher average price will be established. He estimates
the orders placed with American mills by the Allies at about 200,000,-
Q00 feet, most of which has been yellow pine from the south. In the
past four months, he states, the price of yellow pine has advanced
$5 a thousand feet. Mr. Rogers also reports that there has been a
very strong demand for spruce for aeroplanes. j

Boundary Road, the dividing line between the municipalities of South
Vancouver and Burnaby, and distant about four and one-half miles
south of the city of New Westminster. Construction work on the
big plant was started in June, 1914, and continued until September
11th, when operations were discontinued for the winter owing to the
unfavorable market outlook. On April lst of this year work was
resumed with all possible vigor, with the result that early in August
the machinery was given a try-out preparatory to starting up one
side of the double bank of upright shingle machines. The first ship-
ment of three carloads of shingles was made to Montana before the
end of the month, since which time all the machines, twenty in num-
ber, have been cutting on a 10-hour schedule, the average daily out-
put being about 700,000 shingles. The plant is equipped for twenty-
four Sumner uprights, and with that number in operation the twenty-
hour capacity of this fine plant may safely be placed at 1,350,000
shingles. Most of this enormous output is being marketed in the
United States, where the company has a. wide business connection,
and with this object in view a sales office is maintained in Seattle,
but the Messrs. Shull also look forward to a considerable trade with
Ontario and prairie points, which will be handled by Manager H. A.
_ Shull direct from the mill.

Some of the Main Features

The mill site comprises seven acres, the water frontage being 300
feet. The shingle mill is 74 x 215 ft. in size, there being two 16-ft.
storeys and 7-ft. basement. For the foundation 1,015 creosoted fir
piles were driven to hard pan—l4 feet. The engine room, 32 x 36 ft.
in size, is located on the first floor, east side, 50 ft. from front of mill.
It contains two 16 x 20 in. twin engines, and one direct-connected gen-
erator for lighting purposes. Considerable of the remaining space
on this floor is occupied by the sorting bins, shingle packers, and
transmission machinery. The bundles are transferred from the pack-
ing room to the kilns on elevated transfer chains—a method now in
use in a few of the best mills in Washington State. On the sawing
floor above the cut-off.room, at the south or waterfront end, is 50 x 52
ft.in size. The mill is two-sided, and each side is entirely independent
from water to dry-kiln with a view to economy in operation under
varying market conditions. [Each has its own endless chain log-haul,
86-inch swing cut-off saw, steam splitter, 52-inch knee bolter and

automatic sprinkler system protects the interiors of the buildings,
the water supply being taken from a 30,000 gallon steel tank on a
tower 85 feet in height, and additional security 1s given by a system
of waterworks installed by the company. The size of pipe used is
6 in., and numerous hydrants, with ample hose equipment, are lo-
cated where deemed necessary. An Underwriters’ pump, capacity
750 gals. per minute, feeds both systems.

The Sumner Iron Works, Everett, Wash., installed the shingle
machines, engines and transmission machinery; the Taylor Belting
Company, Limited, Vancouver, supplied all small sizes of leather
belting; and the Western Oil & Supply Company, Limited, Van-
couver, furnished the two large engine belts—one 30 in. leather, 59
ft., one 30 in. leather, 111 ft., as well as all Balata belting used on
machines and conveyors. The Disston Saw Company secured the
contract for cut-off and all shingle saws.

About one million feet of lumber and timbers went into the con-
struction of the various buildings. The order was shared by Brunette
Sawmills Company, Limited, and Small & Bucklin Company, Limited,
New Westminster, in about equal quantities.

The waterfront area for log storage is 240 x 1,500 ft., and addi-
tional space is easily available. The area is divided up into a num-
ber of pockets for various grades of logs, nearly 300 piles having to
be driven for this purpose. There is 11 feet of water at end of log
slips at low tide, and 14 feet at outer boom.

The mill plans were prepared by Mr. Lustig, Sumner Iron Works
architect, the superintending millwright being F. W. Talmadge (an
old Allis-Chalmers Company man), who built the Seattle Cedar Lum-
ber Company mill at Seattle, which is reputed to have a daily output
of one million shingles.

Tom O’Connell, superintendent of the Shull Company plant, hails
from Washington, where he acquired a wide experience in the shingle
business.

About one hundred men are employed, the majority being white.
Most of the latter have their homes in New Westminster, making a
trip in and out via the British Columbia Electric Railway.

The name of the B. C. E. R. station is to be changed from Bound-
ary Road to Shull Mills, and an application made to the Post Office
Department to have a post office located at that point to serve the
large volume of business now originating there has been granted. The
address is Shull, B. C.

The plant of the Shull Lumber & Shingle Company, Limited,
represents an investment of about $200,000 of American capital. Mr.
Harry A. Shull, the chief stockholder and manager of the new plant, is
married and resides in Vancouver. He is a young man with a wide
experience of the shingle business which had its beginning in Minne-
sota, his native state. For the past three years Mr. Shull has been
‘operating a large shingle mill in Everett, Wash., which he is now
willing to sell or lease in order that he may devote all of his energy
to his B. C. plant. His father, Mr. John Shull, was a prominent lum-

How to Make Retail Stocks Move
By Paul E. Kendall

In view of the many attacks on wood, both past and present, it
would be well for the lumberman to study his business, himself and
his product in order to find out whether the fault is with himself or
with the commodity he sells.

Wood long held an undisputed first place as a building material.
It still holds first place in spite of the many attacks upon it by well
advertised substitutes. These substitutes have had a rapid growta —
during the last few years, but their popularity is due not to their value —
or merit but rather to the fact that their promoters saw the value ai
two important things that the lumberman has been very slow to 4
adopt—namely, modern advertising and modern merchandising - ae 4
methods. . See

At first the substitutes of wood offered themselves as substitutes, -—
but when they found that manufacturers and dealers in wood and —
wood products felt so secure that they neither noticed or answered
their attacks on wood, they began to make wild assertions as to their —
own value. The next step was to educate the public into believing
that wood was out of date and not a perfect building material. Large __
sums of money were spent in national advertising campaigns. Then
they discovered two amazing and wonderful things; first, wood burns, —
and second, wood decays. However, like a great many present day —
“discoveries” what they found out was not new, but by constantly
advertising these facts they succeeded, in a measure, in creating a
feeling of doubt in many minds and converts turned from the tried
and true original wood to the less worthy but widely advertised
substitutes. No substitute was ever as good as the original and so
it is with the substitutes for wood. Why is it then that we find the
lumberman trying hard to sell a product that he thought should and
would sell itself? ‘a

The answer is simple. The question answers itself. No product,
however good, can sell itself to-day. You must use progressive and
aggressive advertising and merchandising methods. Otherwise your
goods will stay in your yard or on your shelves. You MUST ~—
advertise. Save the advertising bill and lose business or by means
of advertising sell more goods; pay your advertising bill, and make
a better profit. Write this in your notebook—“In this day it costs
more not to advertise than it does to advertise.”

Did you know wood burns? Did you know wood decays? Had
you heard that the forest supply is nearly exhausted? Did you know
that the present price of lumber is prohibitive? No! Where have
you been? On every hand you see this or that substitute for wood —
telling you such things and many more. You read it in the morning —
paper, on billboards, on fence rails, in magazines and in show win- —
dows. You know wood burns and that some of it will decay if not —
properly protected from the elements. But you know that the forest
supply is ample and that it is a mere joke to say that wood—the best —
and cheapest building material—is selling at prohibitive prices to-day.

You also know that iron rusts. I quote from a recent advertise-
ment, ‘“Rust—not wear—builds up the Junk Heaps of Canada. Can--
ada’s loss through rust is tremendous. On account of using ordinary,
fast-rusting sheet metal, Canadians annually lose enough money to
build a super-dreadnaught, etc.” Then the ad goes on to tell why
a certain kind of iron should be used. That is a-clever piece of adver-
tising and it tells of an awful loss from rust. National defence isa —
great public question right now and another super-dreadnaught would
come in rather handy. The first part of that advertisement gives a
very forceful reason why more wood should be used. You know of
many homes and buildings here in Canada built of wood many years
ago and they still stand and are in fairly good repair although many
of them have been neglected for years. : 1 ~~

When bricks are improperly made the wall may soften and wear.
How many brick walls do you know of that were used again after a
they passed through a hot fire? ess

There are many recent examples that show that concrete is often —
useless after a hot fire. a

What is the matter with wood then? Nothing! Wood suffers “=
because its manufacturers and dealers lack two things—modern ad- ‘
vertising and modern merchandising methods. : is

Years ago the lumberman waited for business to come tohimand ~~
it came; for wood was a necessity and substitutes were unknown.
As time went on the substitutes entered the field in ever increasing —_
numbers and-they used modern advertising and modern merchandising :
methods. What did the lumberman do? He laughed at the substi- ~
tutes and waited for business. It began to dwindle and when things
had reached a bad state some lumbermen woke up and began to look
about to find out why they were losing business to inferior ‘substi-_

tutes. At first they blamed anything that looked like it might stand
the strain; then they went deeper and some of the wise ones found
that the substitutes had some merit plus worlds of expensive adver-
. tising and up-to-date business methods. They knew that wood was
first when it came to real merit but they also knew that wood lacked
advertising but some still won’t admit that it has not been properly
merchandised for the last few years.

I should like to see your big forests in Canada, in fact, I have
often dreamed of a trip in the great Canadian woods. I know I would
be pleased and thrilled, if you please, at the sight of the trees just
as I was one evening about sunset as we were on our way to see
the big trees of California and the sun was just at the head of the
valley and—well—I shall never forget it. But I don’t thrill any
when I see an ordinary pile of lumber and you don’t either. Then,
please tell me why you expect any customer to even show interest
when you show them a pile of lumber and talk about 2 x 4’s, 2 x 6’s,
siding, etc. ad infinitum.

When I buy an automobile I should like to see it before I buy
it but in case I cannot then I will get a catalogue—corresponding to
your lumber plan book. The first thing of importance will be its
general appearance and then comfort and convenience. I am not a
mechanic, few car owners are, and many of the fine points (to the
salesman) will be lost on me. I don’t want a certain kind of steel or
bearings but I do want a car. Again here is your answer. Sell
“Homes’”—‘“Barns’”—‘“‘Sheds”—“‘Silos”—Have your plan book and be
ready to give careful and exact estimates that will hold out. There
was a day in lumber history when a woman would almost have gone
into a barber shop before she would have gone into the office of the
local lumberman. To-day the wise lumberman does his best to get
the women into his office. He knows that a woman spends a large
part of her time in her home; that she is the one who takes the most
interest in its appearance, comforts, and conveniences; in a word,
that she has the planning of it. If you can suggest a time or step
saver to that woman you have done more towards making a sale than
if you had spent an hour running down your competitor or lecturing
on prices and grades. I am tired of hearing about price per thousand
and grades. But I know that I can and did sell “Granaries” and lots
of them by advertising, that I was selling complete Granaries; that |
furnished a capacity table and all-that Mr. Farmer had to do was
to find out the size he wanted and, if it was over 1,000 bushels capa-
city, 1 would furnish it for so much per bushel capacity. Of course
these granaries all followed the same general plan. But this method
of selling gave the farmer a starting point—something definite. He
knew if he wanted a 10 x 20 granary it would hold so many bushels
and by using the price per bushel we furnished him, he could sit at
home, figure out the size and price and then talk it over with “mother
and the boys.”

Don’t sell lumber—sell buildings. Sell a home; an ideal and not
wood; a material. Help the customer to work out his ideas and don’t
forget while you are trying to make the sale that your customer is
more interested in the completed’ structure than he is in the materials
that enter into its construction.

You must see the customer’s viewpoint if you wish to succeed in
advertising or selling. You must study the customer’s mind and then
appeal to him along the lines he would naturally approach, if he were
investigating for himself. Tell him what he wants to know before
he has to waste a lot of his time and yours too. Use the customer’s
language; forget 2 x 4’s siding, etc..—it may be Greek to him—but
sell comfort and convenience in the form of HOMES; protection and
economy in the form of BARNS; and conservation and preservation
in the form of SILOS.

After the customer has made up his mind what he wants and
he has’seen a plan photograph; or has “an idea how it will look,” he
wants to know how much it will cost. Now the old method is that
the customer is told that it will cost so much and maybe it will
and maybe it will cost from one-fourth to one-half more. We
must adopt the plan of giving guaranteed complete bills of such
materials as we are to furnish. You think it can’t be done. If you
don’t the mail order houses will soon take care of the business for
you, for they DO furnish plans and estimates in romantic books called
catalogues, and lots of hot hours for the local dealer. And simply
because they study the customer and talk in his language. They tell
him the things he wants to hear and other things he didn’t know.
I. don’t know some of them either, for after reading some of this well
got up literature I was satisfied that there was a special kind of tree
grown expressly for mail order houses and the poor local dealer can
only get the “trimmins.” i

Your advertisement should tell a simple, straight story. Don’t
overstate the case—you don’t need to. If you do not know what
to say just write what you would say to your customer if he were
in your Office at the time and you were talking about buildings. Work
to CREATE business, don’t take what comes to you alone; go after
the business and you will have to go quite a ways these days.

The old time ad—“See Bill Jones for Lumber, etc.”—has had its

eed

day. Such an advertisement to-day is a waste of space, paper, and
ink. Circular letters and space in your local papers will make retail
sales. A good advertisement must first—catch the eye,—then the
mind,—and then create a desire for the object advertised.

After all is said and done we get right back to the two things
that are absolutely necessary to the success of any business and
especially so to the dealer and manufacturer of wood—MODERN
ADVERTISING and MODERN MERCHANDISING.

Reading Camp Association’s Work
The Reading Camp Association, which sends men to lumbering
and construction camps throughout Canada to assist the laborers in
their education and to furnish them with many comforts they would
otherwise lack, has carried on its work successfully during the war.
At the outbreak of the war some friends of the Association thought
that such a work might be suspended for the time being. To their
representations careful consideration was given, but it was decided
that it would be a short-sighted and dangerous policy even tempor-
arily to relinquish such a work. Continued hearty support of the
work is proof of the wisdom of this decision. The effectiveness of
the methods pursued by the Reading Camp Association has been |
clearly demonstrated.
From sixty to seventy-five Christian young men—University
graduates and undergraduates—each year go out under the auspices
of the Reading Camp Association to the camps in the wilderness.
They live side by side, not only with the Canadian nayvies, miners
and lumberjacks, but with the Russians, Italians, Bulgarians, ete. ;
eat at the same table, do the same work, and endure the same hard-
ships. ‘
They are provided with neat, clean, comfortable and attractive
tents and buildings, where the men, irrespective of nationality, are’
invited to spend their evenings. The instructors write letters for their
fellow-toilers, and help them in times of accident, sickness or trouble.
In the tents and buildings instruction is given in the ings,
and

foreigners. It includes the teaching of the English language and our «

on rainy days and on holidays, both to English-speaking men

ideals of citizenship to the non-Anglo-Saxons. The instructors dem-

onstrate what it really means to be a Canadian. They carry on the
process of assimilation in the only way feasible, naniely, by persona
contact. i

The work of the Reading Camp Association, which commenced
in a very small way in Algoma, has now extended to every province
of the Dominion, except Prince Edward Island. Over five hundred in-
structors have been employed. Eight Provincial governments have
assisted in the work, and have thus given to Canada the distinction
of being the first country in the world where the government has
made any effort to give an education to the frontiersmen at their work.

The Association renews its appeal to university men to give one
or more years’ service to the frontiersmen.

It also renews its appeal for contributions from all patriotic Can-
adians who want to have a part in this effort to mould the diverse
elements into an harmonious national life.

The office of the Association is at 44 University College, Toronto.

Should Copy B. C.’s Campaign

The activity of the B. C. Government in seeking foreign markets
for B. C. lumber is attracting a good deal of attention in the Western
States. The “Oregonian,” of Portland, Ore., in a recent issue refers
at considerable length to this subject and after outlining the efforts
already made by B. C. along this line says:—‘The B. C. Government
appears, in this respect, to be ahead of our own Government . . .
If the United States Government is to extend the same aid to Pacific
Coast lumbermen that is being given B. C. lumbermen by their local
Government, it will be necessary without further delay to study the
demand for lumber and to aid in building up a European market for
Pacific Coast lumber.” Referring to exports from B. C., to the United
States, the report states that timber products exported to the United
States, invoiced through Vancouver, for the three-quarters of the year
ended September 30th, 1914 and 1915 were valued at $4,021,635 and
$5,622,451 respectively.

pe See ee ‘

Reports from B. C. state that the logging industry is very active ©
at present. The camps of the Comox Logging Company are not ~s
to be shut down this year. Usually they close down for a period of
two or three months in the winter. At present they have plenty of
work to keep them going for some time.

Twelve loggers, who were on the tug Constance which foundered
off Sechelt on October 2nd, have entered suit in the Supreme Court
of British Columbia for $2,220 damages for loss of their belongings.
The defendants are Hind Bros., owners of the tug, and the Terry
Logging Company, by whom they were employed. The loggers allege
that the tug was not licensed to carry passengers.

print mill and sulphite mill will be erected by the new company at Cap Made-
leine, P. Q. The Gres Falls Co. already has a ground wood mill, which is
turning out 100 tons of ground wood a day. The erection of the news and
sulphite mills will round out a complete production unit, enabling the con-
cern to turn out the finished product. About 80 tons of the ground wood will
be required daily by the company, and the remaining 20 tons will be shipped
to the plant of the Union Bag and Paper Co., at Hudson Falls, N. Y. In
addition to the newsprint and sulphite plant, it is proposed to construct at
Cap Madeline, a kraft mill, the output of whieh will also be shipped to Hudson
Falls. Work will be soon commenced on these new plants. The Union Bag
and Paper Company has made arrangements to sell its undeveloped water
power at Gres Falls to the Shawinigan Water and Power Company, which will
furnish all the power required by the Union Bag & Paper Company. The
water power is thirteen miles northwest of Three Rivers, P. Q., on the St.
Maurice River.

is now being operated by a number of Hindoos under the name of the Cheam
Lumber Company.

Mutchenbacker Bros., are contemplating the erection of a lumber mill at
Mafeking, Man. The new mill will cost $20,000. Work will start next June.
The owners will be in the market for general sawmill machinery and equip-
ment.

Sealed tenders are being received up to January 5th by the Minister of

of Spokane, Wash. The Benton Pole and Lumber Company have bought the
mill of Feeney Bros., at Salmo, B. C. They will ship the equipment of this
mill to Benton Siding, and use it in the erection of a plant to replace the old
mill now in use.

The Pitt River Shingle Mill Company, Port Moody, B. C., have started
operating their plant. They have dismantled the old Cutler mill and in-
stalled machinery of the latest design. The company will also put in a new
dry kiln and engine immediately, also additional shingle cutting machines.
Two machines are now operating and in a few months the company expect
to have eight machines installed, and an output of 200,000 shingles per day.

The shingle mill of the Raven-Roy Shingle Manufacturing Company Ltd.,
at Hatzic, B. C., has changed hands and is now being operated by the Munn
and Murphy Shingle Company of which Mr. A. E. Munn of Vancouver is
president; Mr. H. D. Murphy vice-president and Mr. Ewart V. Munn secretary

A second English revised edition of “The Utilization of Wood
Waste” by Ernst Hubbard, translated by M. J. Salter, has been
published by Scott, Greenwood and Son, 8 Broadway, Ludgate, E. C.
The book is published in handy pocket size edition and has been
brought well up to date. It will unquestionably furnish valuable
suggestions to all who are interested in the subject. A large number
of excellent illustrations are included. Every manner in which wood
waste may be utilized is thoroughly discussed and practical infor-
mation is given regarding the various processes. The value of the
book is considerably enhanced by the inclusion of an extensive index.

The lumber business at Aberdeen, Wash., has been so active
lately that the sawmills are face to face with a shortage of logs, and
the possibility of several mills having to close down. At least five
mills are now running on short time waiting for rafts. There has
been so good a demand lately that several mills doubled their output
and the small amount of. logs placed in the water has brought about
the shortage.

Damages to the extent of $3,375 were awarded by the jury in
_ the Supreme Court at Nelson, B. C., recently to Percy Lyon, against
the Nicola Valley Lumber Company. Lyon was injured by a log
while in the employ of the company. The log broke through the
guard rail and rolled down the deck. The damages were awarded
under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, being the sum of three
years’ wages upon what Lyons was receiving before the accident.

Twelve French Canadian lumbermen who were cutting timber
for contractors employed by the Connecticut River Lumber Com-
pany, Colebrook, N. H., have been arrested for alleged violation of
the Federal Contract Labor Law. It is alleged that the Connecticut
_ River Lumber Company let out work to a number of contractors
who employed Canadian lumbermen to assist in the operations.

Saved $300.” Daily
In Fuel Bills

Jones Underfeed Stokers in
several Pulp and Paper Mills

have made possible fuel savings never before credited any system of firing.

Take as illustration: the boiler plants of the Minnesota & Ontario Power Company, Fort Frances, On-
tario, and International Falls, Minnesota:

Before the stokers were installed in the latter. plant 3,000 tons of coal were required’each month, costing
them nearly $3.50 per ton. Since installing Jones stokers, under normal conditions, only five tons of coal
are burned per week, the balance of heat required being obtained from “hog feed” and paper mill refuse—
heretofore a waste product, entailing an enormous and continual expense for its disposal.

The saving is, therefore, 3,000—22=2,978 tons at $3.50—$10,423.00 per month, or more than $300.00 per day.
The equipment is entirely automatic, and should a drop of a few pounds occur in the steam pressure, or
should there be a shortage in the supply of refuse, the stokers immediately feed in more coal and the blower
equipment supplies more air, so that the normal pressure is promptly restored. If for any reason the “hog
feed” is temporarily abandoned, the stokers automatically make the change over, carrying the load with
coal alone.

Pronsiet 100”
of Your Power

Why pay good money to generate power and then employ a poor belt that will only transmit
a fraction of that power.

If you equip your mill with Goodhue Belts you can transmit 100% of the power generated

Goodhue Belts stretch 15% to 25% less than other belts and have just the right amount
of ‘‘cling” on the pulley.

“ee Teheran 8s, fore See

| | ERE is a 10-in. Spartan Double Belt driving an air compressor in the engine room of the Norton Company, Worcester,

Mass. The belt operates at a speed of 2,350 R. P. M. from a 10-in. motor pulley of 900 R. P. M., under a 12-in. Len-

ix Idler, to a 54-in. pulley on the compressor—only 6-foot pulley centers, and transmitting 75 H. P. Furthermore,

the compressor is equipped with an automatic starting and stopping device, which naturally subjects the belt to an
intermittent load—jumping instantly from no load to full load.

Norton’s Chief Engineer states—“we have done absolutely nothing to the belt since installed, it is giving perfect satis-
faction.” Spartan proved particularly efficient because of its unusual strength, great pliability, and pulley grip, which enable
the belting to transmit power with great economy.

Spartan Belting is equally efficient for use wherever conditions are unusual and difficult. Let us demonstrate why it is the belt for your requirements.

LOGGING LOCOMOTIVES

The designs of our Logging locomotives are the
result of wide experience, extending over a period
of 80 years.

The material used in their construction is thor-
oughly tested and is the best of its kind.

All details are accurately finished to standard

gauges and are absolutely interchangeable on all locomotives of the same class and size.

This cuts out long delays at critical times of the work, as parts liable to wear can be kept on hand or

shipped promptly from our works.

Bourne Spooner, Founder

The Story of Plymouth Rope

Ninety-one years ago this spring the first Plymouth Rope was
turned out, on the site where now stands the world’s largest cordage
factory and by the company whose success has built that factory and kept
it steadily busy making the same high grade of rope.

The story of this substantial business growth, in which Plymouth
Rope has come to be recognized as the world’s standard of quality, is an
interesting narrative. And the story of the rope itself is still more inter-
esting.

The series of advertisements, of which this is the first, will describe
the things which make Plymouth the standard, will illustrate how that
standard works out in actual practice, and will show what it means to
you as a user of rope.

“1916
Model”’

With The

Circular Gang

The Kendall Circular Gang meets the demand for a machine to turn small logs into
merchantable lumber economically—profitably.

Having an enormous capacity as compared to the Band Saw or Circular, this
machine, by reducing the time of handling small logs, keeps up mill production and
keeps down costs.

The Kendall Circular Gang takes cants from 4 in. to 12 in. thick, and at the rate of
2500 to 3000 a day turns them into lumber, perfect in finish and cut evenly from
end to end.

Other Gangs will cut lumber fast, but none of them’ can equal the Kendall on
quality of lumber sawn.

she “1916 Model” machine is the latest development in the Kendall patents.
New features that mean increase in capacity, increase in cutting quality, greater
safety and convenience, have been added.

Let us show you why it will reduce
lumber sawing costs for you.

A Letter

“We have sawn as many as
2,500 logs in 10 hours, and if we
could keep the Gang running with-
out any stops or delays we could
run 3,000 through it in 10 hours.
But taking into account delays,
changing saws, etc., we can easily
saw over 2,000 cants per day. We
run five logs per minute, which is
about 65 to 75 feet feed per minute.
It does not make any difference
what sized cant we run, the feed
is the same. We run 11-in. cants
when our saws are full size and
only 10-in. after the saws are
worn down too much to take 11-in.
cants.

We have been well satisfied
with our Circular Gang and would
certainly advise any person requir-
ing a machine which puts out a
lot of lumber, to install one. This
Gang does not only cut up a lot
of lumber, but it cuts it even from
end to end without any variation
in thickness, which no Band Saw
will do, neither any Circular Saw.”

A Good Belt .. . Good Machine

If you are proud of the good machinery
you possess, it is surely a pity—to say
nothing of poor business—not to get the
most out of it.

And you are not getting the most out
of it unless you use ‘‘Amphibia’’ belting
to drive it.

‘‘Amphibia” has a surface and flexi-
bility which make it the most efficient and
‘‘oripping”’ belt on the market.

By adopting ‘‘ Amphibia” belting you
ensure your machinery working at its maxi-
mum efficiency; you prevent the loss in
transmission of valuable—and costly— power

because you are using a medium of trans-
mission which is perfectly designed for its
task; you do away with the expense in-
volved in the readjustment necessitated by
the ‘‘stretching” of belts; you obviate the
cost of renewals, because ‘‘Amphibia’” is
made from the best of butts procurable and
is tanned in our own tanneries by a secret
waterproof process which renders the leather
impervious to oil, steam, water and fumes.

Your ‘‘economy”’ in buying a cheap
and common belt to drive a costly and
high-class machine is a false economy—and
bad business. Try a sample run of ‘‘Am-
phibia” and prove it.

What You Dealers
Have Always Wanted

of course is a lumber which will lift
you out of the turmoil of price com-
petition, and place you and your
merchandizing methods on a_ higher
level.

You would naturally prefer to be
known as the merchant who sells a
material of established value, for which
you charge a fair and deserved profit,
and in consideration of which you
deliver value received to the purchaser.

Arkansas Soft Pine

will help you to this position.

WHY?

Because it is a wood of specific superior-
ity for particular uses, and as such is
nationally advertised. It is moreover,
identified by trade mark which implies
that it must adhere to set standards of
excellence in quality and manufacture.

Conveyor, Boom, Steel
Loading Chains, etc.

Special Chains to order

The foregoing facts are in the con-
sumer’s mind when he comes into your
office. Consequently when he (your
buyer) asks for Arkansas Soft Pine,
he does so because it is the wood he
wants. Price is a secondary considera-
tion.

Shell Box Patronage in a Cabinet
Minister’s Constituency

The publicity which we have given recently to the manner in
which many shell box contracts were let by the Shell Committee has
met with approval from our readers in all parts of Canada. From
the letters we have received regarding this matter, we are convinced
that nearly everyone who is interested in the production of boxes of
any kind has come across instances similar to those we have already
described, in which contracts have been let to parties who are not
in any way entitled to them, while others, well equipped, with their
machinery idle and their men out of employment, have been unable to

- get contracts.

Although we have published the facts in connection with several
of these cases, nothing has been done by the Government in the way
of investigating the situation. The facts which have come to our
attention unquestionably indicate the necessity for an investigation.
‘The reports we have published disclose a state of affairs that is
intolerable, namely, the giving of contracts for the production of shell

— boxes to political friends who are in many cases without the necessary

experience or equipment, while firms which are justly entitled to
secure contracts because of their experience and equipment, have been
neglected in spite of their repeated applications for the business.

<A In times like the present, the first consideration in the giving of

contracts by the Government should be economy and efficiency. Poli-

a _ tical consideration should never be permitted to enter into the letting

of contracts for shell boxes or for anything else, yet we find case after
ase in which only an investigation will ever convince us that political
siderations have not been the chief factors. An instance which has
come to our “eae recently is similar to others we have already

fuses, at $2.50 per box, was secured by C. W. Burgoyne, of Fenelon
Falls, Ont.,. which is located in the Dominion riding of Victoria,
which included shipment to the point designated for delivery.
C. W. Burgoyne, who secured this contract, is partnership
with his father the firm of W. Burgoyne & Company, which
carries on a general store business at Fenelon Falls. Not being in
a position to manufacture the boxes himself, we are informed that he
was willing to sub-contract with anyone who would undertake to
handle the contract or parts of it. The contract was finally allotted to
Mr. Alfred Tiers, of Fenelon Falls, who conducts a small planing
mill at that place. This contract has now been completed and the
boxes were delivered some time ago.

‘While this contract was being worked out, an additional contract
for 25,000 boxes was secured, according to our information by C. W.
Burgyone, and this also was taken over by Alfred Tiers. We under-
stand that this contract was known as an optional one, which we
suppose means that Burgoyne was at liberty to take it or leave it, as
he desired. It included the stipulation that no more than 3,000 boxes
were to be paid for in any one month. The price for this box was
a trifle less than the price for the box covered by the first contract.
By the end of the year 3,000 boxes had been produced under this con-
tract. We are informed further that Tiers was not able to fill the
first contract entirely by himself, but purchased the tops and bottoms
for a number of the boxes, securing them at 14c. per pair; and that in
connection with the second contract he is purchasing the ends ready
to be dovetailed, at 5c. each, securing them from a manufacturer at

in
in

Lipdsay
VA Two or three things stand out clearly in connection with this

case. In the first place, the contract was apparently secured through
personal or political influence by a party who had no apparent right
to it. In the second place, the contract was apparently handed on, or
sublet, to Tiers, a proceeding which is understood usually to involve
remuneration to the first party, although he actually produces no-
thing. In the third place, another contract for a much larger quan-
tity of boxes was secured by the same parties. We cannot see how
such methods of handling the shell box business can be justified. Even
in ordinary times, the letting of contracts in this way could not be
defended, and at a time like the present it is quite indefensible.

The suspicion that this contract was handed over by Burgoyne
to Tiers for a definite monetary consideration is strengthened by the-
fact that these two parties formed a partnership under the name of
C. W. Burgoyne & Company. Evidently they wished to give the
transaction a more respectable appearance; but we cannot see how
this can be considered as lending the affair any respectability. It
amounts to the Same thing in the end, namely, that a party quite un-
able to produce the boxes, secured the contracts and turned them over
to another party. The fact that he entered into a partnership with
Tiers indicates rather clearly that he did so in order to make it appear
that he was entitled to a share of the profits which he was securing
and towards which he had contributed nothing. When one considers
that throughout Canada there are hundreds of planing mill plants
which have suffered heavily through business depression and would
be greatly benefited by securing shell box contracts, he is thoroughly
justified in criticizing a government which has permitted the letting
of contracts in such a manner.

What can the public think of such proceedings as these? There
is one conclusion which is being very generally drawn, namely, that
the giving out of shell box contracts has not been in the interests
of economy or efficiency, or in the interests of the legitimate box
making or planing mill industries, but has been used as a means of
distributing favors to political friends. Nothing whatever has been
done in the way of holding an investigation into these matters. The
Commission which has been enquiring into the letting of various war
contracts has been devoting its attention to other matters, the reason ,
given for not including box contracts being that the scope of thy
Commission does not entitle it to investigate such matters.

The cases we have referred to in previous issues and in this
issue seem to us to carry clear conviction of improper methods and
to demand an investigation. We do not think the Government will
actually seek to avoid such an investigation on the ground that the

Shell Committee was spending British money and not Canadian
money. Theoretically there may be reason for taking such a posi-
tion, but no government which is jealous of its good name can afford
to stand idly by and see shell box contracts given to its friends who
are not entitled to them, while others who are well entitled are neg-
lected. The Government has definite powers to order an investiga
into these matters and to bring out the facts.

What the public wants to know is whether the letting of shell

~ box contracts has been used to promote the interests of a political

_ the returns from the sale.

Low Stumpage Values Restrict Scientific Development 4 §

In Ontario one of the most frequent remarks heard among
lumber manufacturers relates to the high price of stumpage, com-
pared with the low price of the finished product. By stumpage
price in this case is meant the cost of the standing timber to the
manufacturer and there is no doubt that, in view of the price of
lumber, the cost of the standing timber in Ontario has been exces-
sive for many years. The value of stumpage to the man who has
secured it, is quite a different thing from its cost, and the variation
in these two factors has much to do with our forestry and lumber-
ing situations. The low level of stumpage values in this country
is the greatest hindrance to the progress of forestry. Not. until
the timber owner can secure for the sale of his product a price that
makes his stumpage value much greater than it is at present, will he
be inclined to give to forestry questions more than a passing con-
sideration. If the foresters of Canada want to make more rapid
progress this is the feature of their problem that they must attack
most seriously. Dr. J. F. Clark in a recent discussion brings out
this point strongly. Stumpage, he says, is that which remains
when the cost of marketing the forest product has been paid out of
Obviously, there are but three ways of
increasing stumpage values, namely, by raising the price of the
product, by eliminating waste, or by reducing the costs of market-
ing. Unhappily, the price of lumber, the main forest product, is
determined by a great variety of considerations, most of which are
wholly beyond the control of the friends of the forest.

The utilization of materials previously wasted makes slow pro-
gress. There have not been nearly so many by-product develop-
ments as could be wished, and every step in advance—no matter
how rich in early promise of good financial returns—largely defeats
its own hopes on account of the overwhelming supply of raw mater-
ials on the one hand and market limitations for thé product on the
other. Until lumber prices substantially and permanently advance,
the main hope of bettering forest finances, and thereby widening the
field where forestry may be practised, rests in lowering the costs of
marketing the forest crop. The cost of marketing the forester’s
crop may be roughly divided inta logging costs, milling costs, lumber
transportation, and selling costs.

U. S. Trade Envious of B.C. Progress See

The activity of the lumbermen of British Columbia in co-opera-
tion with the Provincial Government in developing export markets
for the lumber products of that province have not only brought
definite and practical results, but have stirred up much envious enxiety
among the lumbermen of the Pacific Coast States. An indication of
this feeling on the part of Pacific Coast lumbermen in the United
States is afforded by the testimony given recently by Hon. Joseph N.
Teal, of Portland, Ore., when addressing the Federal Trade Commis-

_ sion in a recent hearing at Washington.

The question of Canadian competition was considered at some
length by Mr. Teal, who spoke of the great co-operation between the

- lumbermen of British Columbia and their government, characterizing

it as a regular “partnership” between the two parties. The officials
in British Columbia, he said, were “progressive and awake to the
opportunities of the day.” Developing the idea further, he said that

we ;

party. We believe that many contracts have been so let and that it
is incumbent upon the Government to throw light upon the whole
situation. Such information as we have gathered upon the subject
is at the service of the Government any time it desires to open an
investigation which shall be thorough and impartial. Our object is to
help in clearing up a most unsatisfactory and intolerable situation.
The cases we have already referred to cover a large part of Ontario
and part of Quebec and they strongly suggest party patronage in the
giving out of contracts.

The sawing and finishing of lumber, together with lumber trams-
portation, have already been highly standardized. No doubt many a
further economies will be effected in these departments from time
to time. A start, which has every promise of large results, has a-
ready been made in the, heretofore, much neglected field of lumber _
salesmanship. But perhaps the largest field for economies is that
of logging, and the hope for greater efficiency in this quarter is ins
the development of the art of logging engineering. ”*

As agriculture calls to its aid so much of the sciences of chem-_
istry, physics and biology, so the logging engineer, in the develop-
ment of his profession, takes toll from the whole field of mechanical
science, and calls for much of the best that has been produced by that
modern alchemist, the metallurgist. No occupation calls for greater
resource and adaptability. Every logging unit differs from every —
other in the complexity of variations in topogtaphy and stand; of
the thousand ways in which logging may be done there are st many
profitable ways, and there is, of course, only one best way. The
man who knows and can effectively carry out one or more of these
better ways is a potential logging engineer.

The successful logging engineer of the past has compen suc-
cess by a more than average ability and adaptability. How may the
average logging foreman improve his methods and thus take the
first steps to qualify as a logging engineer? Must it not be through
bringing to him the results of the best thought of the thousands of
men who are devoting their lives to this work?

The graduate of the forest school, with a special training in
ihe department of logging engineering, may hope to be of consider-
able service to a logging company from the start, but, to be of the
greatest service in the end, he must be willing to start his practical
apprenticeship at the bottom and work up.

That these ideas are not fanciful or merely theoretical is amply
shown, as Dr. Clark points out by the numerous examples in Europe.
where labor is much cheaper and stumpage values are several times
higher than with us, and where forest properties may be maintained
on a perpetual yield basis and pay a fair return on the investment.
In a large measure the solution of the problem in this country will
be found in the development of the art of the logging engineer. ~

after the war there was little doubt that a commercial unit would —
be formed, just as now there was a fighting unit, the object of
commercial co-operation being to lay the foundation for a preferential
tariff.

Referring to the situation in the Northwestern States in regard ip
Canadian competition, Mr. Teal said :— eS

“To the north an active, virile commonwealth, producing the
same commodity and competing in the same markets, is aiding its own
lumber industry in every reasonable way. British Columbia competi-
tors enjoy not only the same rail rates to the markets in the United ©
States, to which fact reference has been made, but by reason of the
operation of our navigation laws such competitors can charter ships
under any flag in normal times for delivery at any port in the United
States on the Atlantic coast at from $2.50 to $3 a thousand feet less
than the shipper in the United States. worne preferential tariffs are

DOR ca: x ay

: regs’

now in effect between Canada and other British colonies, and the estab-
lishment of such tariffs between all the British possessions is being
urged with vigor.”

Referring to the export trade situation, Mr. Teal said :—

“In the past the Pacific coast states have done by far a greater ex-
port business than has British Columbia. It must not be assumed,
however, that this condition will continue unchanged.

“The war, while affecting this country as all others, has necessarily
borne harder on Canada than on us. But some day—and God speed
the day—the war will end, and it may be accepted as a certainty that
everything an intelligent government can properly do will be done by

Canada and by every other country engaged in this war, to rebuild and
* reconstruct their industries and_to heal their commercial wounds. It

would, therefore, seem that simple, ordinary prudence and business
sagacity should impel the Government of the United States in like
manner, and with like persistence to aid, foster and further its own
industrial and commercial interests.” ;

Mr. Teal also discussed the shingle industry, which, he said, had
not been a paying one, the main cause being competition from B. C.
“No branch of the lumber industry in the northwest has been the
subject of more thought and discussion than that of shingles,’ he
said, “and yet, notwithstanding the product is an article of common
use and the business one of some years’ standing, it is putting it
mildly to say that it-is in a very unsatisfactory condition. Wide
fluctuation in prices and unstable demands, with more or less demoral-
ization as a result, have been the history of this branch of the industry
since its inception. Various reasons have been assigned in explana-
tion, and many have studied the subject in order to find a remedy for
a condition which all concede exists.”

“The testimony of those engaged in the industry shows that, taken
as a whole, the business is not only not profitable, but is being con-
ducted at a loss. The northwest states produce red cedar shingles.
In 1912 cedar shingles represented 78.9 per cent. of the entire produc-
tion of the United States, and the State of Washington produced 84.2

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER : 25

per cent. of the cedar shingles and 66.4 per cent. of the total shingle
output of the United States.”

A higher grade of shingle was made in B. C., Mr. Teal said, than
in the United States. He hoped that this would continue to be the
case, so that the competition on the low grade would not be so keen.
However, he said, there were already some concerns in B. C. making
a low grade shingle.

“The British Columbia manufacturers as yet make on the whole
a higher grade shingle than is made in Washington, but some of the
newer mills are now manufacturing practically the same grade. The
tendency, moreover, on both sides of the line, is gradually to approach
the same standards. That is, in Washington there is a decided trend
towards higher grades, better grading, more careful packing, and bet-
ter manufacturing, while in British Columbia there is a tendency to
produce larger quantities of the medium grade.”

Taking up the question of the advantage under which the British
Columbia mills work as regards raw material, he said:—“There is no
question but that British Columbia has a decided advantage in the
raw material, it being estimated that this advantage in itself represents
about 25 cents a thousand feet; also in the shingle mill about 75 per
eent. of the labor is oriental. The labor cost, besides, is somewhat
less in British Columbia than in the United States. Attention has
heretofore been directed to the active interest the British Columbia
Government takes in promoting the lumber industry. It is but current
legislative history of the United States that while formerly foreign
shingle manufacturers paid 30 and 50 cents a thousand duty, shingles
now enter free. The shipping laws, particularly as affecting shipments
to the Atlantic coast by water, work as much hardship to shingles
as to lumber; and under existing laws, with normal conditions, the
British Columbia manufacturer has an undoubted advantage on ship-
ments via the Panama Canal. While as yet the movement of American
manufacturers to British Columbia has not assumed large proportions,
it is, nevertheless, in progress.”

Government Co-operation Helping the Trade

One of the surest ways of getting a man’s business is to give him
more than he expects, or more than he has been accustomed to getting

for his money. It is not possible to give him continuously more in

the form of goods than he pays for, but in the shape of useful in-
formation one may often give a customer something the value of which
cannot be estimated in money. This is the keynote of modern sell-
ing methods. Its importance is being recognized and its principle
put into practice in a large way by the Department of Lands of B. C.,
by distributing among the farmers, and the retail lumbermen of the
prairie provinces a series of bulletins about farm buildings. Each
of these bulletins contains complete information, details and plans in
connection with a definite class of farm buildings. The latest bul-
letin is concerned with implement sheds and granaries, and while the
information given is applied specifically to the farms of the prairie
provinces, it can be taken profitably to heart by the farmers in eastern
Canada as well. The introduction to this bulletin is in part as follows:

The depreciation of farm machinery on the prairies, due to the
lack of housing and care, is as great as that due to the actual use in
the field. When a machine is not properly housed and cared for, it
loses at least ten per cent. of its value each year. The average life
of a binder, for example, is almost doubled by protecting it from the
weather. Recent investigations made by the Commission of Con-
servation show that the majority of western farmers do not appreciate

_ these facts. Out of nearly 100 representative farmers visited in dif-
ferent parts of the Prairie Provinces, only a few were found who kept’
_ their implements and machinery under cover and painted.

This is the more unfortunate because the matter is of particular

importance on the prairies, where more farm implements are used
y 4:

than anywhere else in Canada. The Dominion census of 1910 gave
total value of the farm implements in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
\Iberta as $110,000,000, or over forty per cent. of the total value
implements on all the forms of Canada, The total number of

prairie farms was 203,000, and the average value of implements per
farm was $540, as compared with the average for all Canada of $360
per farm. Proper care in the way of housing and painting, etc., would
effect a saving on the average prairie farm of at least ten per cent.,
or $54 each year, and in many cases a great deal more.

As a rule it is most desirable to make the implement shed a sep-
arate building, the advantages being greater convenience, better ap-
pearance, lesser fire risk, and ease of enlargement. Space in barns is
generally too expensive and inconvenient for storing the implements.
A narrow shed may, of course, be built on the side of a barn, but has
the disadvantages of greater fire risk, difficulty of enlargement and
darkening that side of the barn.

A workshop equipped with carpenter and blacksmith tools is
very useful, especially on farms a long distance from town, and at
critical times such as harvesting, when long delays for repairs would
be ruinous. All the necessary tools: can be obtained generally for
around $50. The workshop may conveniently form a part of the
implement shed,

During winter all implements should be carefully overhauled and
made ready for work in the spring. It is a good plan to put a ta&
on each machine when its work is finished for the season, stating just

“ what repairs and adjustments are required, so that any necessary

new parts may be procured and repairs made before it is needed again.
In order to prevent rust all bearings and wearing parts should be
thoroughly oiled the last day the machine is used.

Paint protects both iron and wood from the weather. It fills the
pores and cracks, prevents checking, prolongs the life of the machine
and much improves its appearance. For the woodwork, a mixture of
pure linseed oil with red or white lead and a small proportion of

liquid dryers is good. Raw linseed oil may be used alone, allowed”

to soak in and dry and followed by a coat of paint. The paint, of
course, should always be of a kind suitable for outdoor use.

Lieut. H. W. Larkin Enlists in Field Artillery

The accompanying portrait of
Lieut. H. W. Larkin, will be re-
cognized by a great many mem-
bers of the lumber trade in On-
tario on account of Lieut. Lark-
in’s connection with the C. A.
Larkin Lumber Company Ltd.,
wholesale lumber dealers, Tor-
onto. Lieut. Larkin is one of the
large number of~ lumbermen
throughout Canada who have en-
listed to serve Great Britain in
her present crisis. He was born
at Brandon, Man., on January
13th, 1887, and is a son of Mr. C.
A. Larkin, president of the C. A.
Larkin Lumber Company Ltd.
In 1891 the family moved to
‘Toronto.

Lieut. Larkin’s education was
received at Upper Canada Col-
lege, which he left when 19
years of age, in order to take a
position in his father’s office.
When the business was incorporated in 1909 Lieut. Larkin was made
secretary treasurer of the company. He has had a wide experience
in the lumber business, covering all departments of the wholesale
trade, and he possesses an intimate knowledge of lumber grades and
values. During the last two or three years he has taken an active
part in the management of the business. It was intended that he
should succeed his father as manager at an early date. This plan
however, has been laid aside temporarily and Lieut. Larkin recently
attended the Artillery course at Kingston in order to qualify for a
commission. He is now attached to the 30th Battery of Field Art-
illery which is in training at Exhibition Park, Toronto.

Not Representing Belgian Government ,

A report was recently published in the press of the Southern
States to the effect that the Belgian Government had sent H. Helaers
and John Schobben to the United States to obtain material for 10,000
five roomed houses, material for trench timbering and about 1,500,000
railroad ties, as well as other items, totalling in all some 100,000,000
feet. Special enquiries have been made for the Canada Lumberman
by the Department of Trade and Commerce in regard to this report
and we are advised that when Messrs. Helaers and Schobben arrived
at New Orleans, the local papers interviewed them and exaggerated
their importance by representing them as official agents of the Belgian
Government. They explained to the Belgian Consulate at New Or-
leans, however, that they had come out on their own accord and were
endeavoring to secure orders for American goods from the French and
Belgian Governments. They recently purchased 80,000 railroad
sleepers. We understand that the same Mr. H. Helaers recently vis-
ited Winnipeg, Man., and is studying the possibility of opening up
trade in lumber, etc., between Canada and Belgium.

Lumbermen and Foresters Meeting at Ottawa

The series of meetings to be held this month at Ottawa, in con-
nection with lumbering and conservation interests are attracting at-
tention from all parts of the Dominion. The attendance is likely to
be larger than in past years when the meetings were held at different
dates. The Canadian Lumbermen’s Association will hold a full
day’s discussion of business conditions on January 19th, at which re-
ports of officers will be received, the 1916 officers elected, and a
number of addresses delivered. The same evening will witness a
joint banquet in which the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, the
Commission of Conservation, the Canadian Forestry Association and
the Canadian Society of Forest Engineers will participate. Hon.
Arthur Meighen, Solicitor General will speak as the special guest of
the lumbermen.

The Conservation Commission will meet on the 18th and 19th,
the Canadian Forestry Association on the 20th, and the Forest
Engineers on the 18th, thus grouping together a series of important
meetings dealing with more or less allied topics. Hon. W. R. Brown,
of Berlin Mills, N. H., will address the Forestry Association on
“Closer Utilization of Forest Products” and other addresses will be
given by S. L. de Carteret, President of the St. Maurice Forest Pro-
tective Association, R. H. Campbell, Director of Forestry for Canada,
and E. J. Zavitz, Provincial Forester of Ontario.

Mr. William Rutherford, of Wm. Rutherford & Sons Company,
Limited, Montreal, has been selected by acclamation a member of
the Westmount Board of School Commissioners.

Lieut.-Col. Gilbert in Command of 117th Battalion

Many prominent lumbermen
have enlisted to take their share
in the task of defending Great
Britain against the armies of
Germany. We have had the
pleasure of publishing a number
of portraits and descriptive
articles in regard to well known
lumbermen who are thus helping
Great Britain. The accompany-
ing portrait is of Lieut.-Col. L.

J. Gilbert, officer commanding
the 117th Eastern Townships
Overseas Battalion, C. E. F.

Lieut.-Col. Gilbert was born on
June 2nd, 1870 at Bishop’s Cross-
ing, township of Dudswell, P.Q.
He received his early education
at the local high school and at
the Cookshire Academy. The
greater part of his early life was
spent on the home farm and dur- °
ing several winter seasons he Lieut.-Col. L. J. Gilbert, Bohens
was employed in the office of J. Crossing, P.Q.
O. Gilbert & Son, lumber manufacturers, Bishop’s Crossing, P. Q.,
who are well known to a large number of our readers.

Col. Gilbert’s ability as a military officer has brought him an
enviable record. He joined the 58th Battalion of Infantry asa Poa
in 1888. He was appointed a provisional lieutenant in 1895 and cap-
tain in 1898. Upon the conversion of the 58th Battalion into the 7th
Hussars he received the rank of major. In 1912 he became Lieut-

wae

Col. and in 1915 he was made brigade major of the 3rd Eastern

Townships Mounted Brigade. He successfully passed the Militia
Staff Course in 1914 and is therefore entitled to the use of the letters
M. S. C. after his name. In 1914 he was presented with the Colonial
Auxiliary Officers’ Decoration by his Royal Highness the ‘Caeet
Connaught.

Col. Gilbert’s command now consists of 12 towne eae
what is known as the “Eastern Townships” and his popularity is

- evidenced by the fact that in his “Overseas Battalion” he will have

serving under him five Lieutenant Colonels, several Mayors serving as
Captains and several Captains who have enlisted as Lieutenants.

Huge Trade Coming to Canada

A cable from London, Eng., to the Toronto Star on January 4th
said: “Forty million dollars worth of lumber is the estimate given
by a Professor of Forestry who has been on the British purchasing
commission for the allies, as the amount of orders given or about to
be given in the Dominion. The war has caused a tremendous famine
of all kinds of wood, he declared. It is being destroyed day by day
on all fronts in colossal quantities. It is needed for modern warfare
almost as badly as metals or cotton. He says that Australia has just
been given an order for ties by one British railway amounting to
£400,000, and before the war, ties even from the same district would
not have cost a quarter of the price. Norway and Sweden are being
swept clean as fast as the cutting can be done, for Russia and Ger-
many, too. Huts have taken the place of canvas on all fronts. Water-
laden trenches all have had to be lined, and when the armies move
there is no time to demolish the huts or tear up what is left in the.
trenches. The British Government is taking the keenest interest in
the question, and several experts will soon visit Canada and other
Dominions to take a census of cut and uncut timber, and also impress
on various bodies the need for careful economy and prompt replanting.
Wood will not get back to the low value of before the war for another
ten years, was the professor’s prediction.”

National Wholesalers at Philadelphia, March 15th and 16th

Mr. Gordon C. Edwards, Ottawa, Ont., President of the National —

Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association, visited New York recently
and accompanied by Secretary E. F. Perry, went to Philadelphia and
made arrangements regarding the annual meeting which is-to be held
in that city. Wednesday and Thursday, March 15th and 16th have
been selected as the days of the meeting and the headquarters will be
at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. On Tuesday evening, March 14th
the Trustees will hold their annual meeting and consider many mat- _
ters which will come up for discussion at the convention.

Secretary Perry states that reports so far received from soisiaaes
indicate that the convention this year will be very largely attended
and that the selection of Philadelphia as the convention city was en-
thusiastically received among the membership.

January 15, 1916 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND
f Sudden Death of Canadian Commissioner of Commerce
z We regret to report the sudden r
: death of Mr. Richard Grigg, Can- 1905.
adian Commissioner of Com-
merce, who has been in charge tootball.
of the publication of the Weekly
'* Trade and Commerce reports of

the Dominion Government, and
has been successful in developing
the value of these reports great-
ly and making them of much
practical service to Canadian bus-
iness men. Mr... Grigg’s death
occurred at Ottawa on January
6th. He was waiting his turn to
purchase a ticket to Montreal at
the Central Railway.Station when
he was seized, presumably with
heart failure, and fell dead.

The late Mr. Grigg was born
at Plymouth, England, in 1847.
He came to Canada as a boy and
spent the early part of his life
on an Ontario farm. Subsequent-

The Late Richard Grigg, Ottawa. ly he went to Great Britain,

where he had a successful career as a manufacturer. During his life
in England he was active both in the press and on the platform in
developing public opinion regarding the urgent need for a better
understanding of Canada’s greatness by the Mother country.
a Mr. Grigg retired from business in 1905 and accepted a com-
, mission from the Imperial Government to visit Canada and report
upon the economic condition of the country with special regard to
British trade. He made his headquarters at Montreal, and compiled
a report which attracted world-wide attention and probably enjoyed
a larger circulation than any other blue book ever published. Prac-
tically every important paper in Great Britain, and indeed throughout
the Empire dealt with this report, both in editorials and extracts.
Extensive extracts were also translated and published in leading for-
eign journals. It was stated in the Canadian press at that time that
no single influence had had so important a share in attracting favor-
able attention to Canada, with a resulting good effect upon the money
market and emigration, as this report.

In 1907 the British Government appointed Mr. Grigg as head of
the British Commerciai Intelligence Service in Canada. After he
had been in the service of the Imperial Government at Montreal for
four years, the Canadian Government sought Mr. Grigg’s services,
and he was appointed to the position of Commissioner of Commerce,
__with the rank of deputy minister in the Department of Sir George
Foster. The Weekly Report of the Department has doubled in size

and more than doubled in circulation under his charge. Mr. Grigg
made a special effort to include in these reports the latest and fullest
information regarding export markets for lumber. He was to a large
extent responsible for the decision to appoint Mr. H. R. MacMillan
__as a special trade commissioner to visit all the important export mar-
_ kets for Canadian lumber. Mr. Grigg’s great executive ability and
remarkable perseverance will be greatly missed in the Department
of Trade and Commerce.

Mr. Grigg is survived by his wife, one son and one daughter.

From Glengarry Lumber Company”. Mr. McDonald had been in
failing health for the past two or three years. He is survived by his
wife, one daughter and one son.

Death of Thomas L. Shevlin

Thos. L. Shevlin, widely known throughout the United States,
‘and also in Canada, on account of his connection with the Shevlin
lumber interests, died of pneumonia at his home in Minneapolis, Minn.,
on December 29th, after an illness of one week. The late Mr.
Shevlin was born in Muskegon, Mich., in March 1883. Upon the
death of his father, Thos. H. Shevlin, he succeeded to the headship of
the various Shevlin corporations and gave them his active interest.
One of the Shevlin companies, with which the late Mr. Shevlin was
closely connected, is that of the Shelvin Clarke Company of Fort

Death of Hon. Allan Ritchie

The death of the Hon. Allan Ritchie, one of the Miramichi’s best
known citizens, occurred on January 2nd at the age of sixty-eight. He
had been ill about six months.and his death was not altogether un-
expected. The deceased was born near Paisley, Scotland, the son
of David Ritchie, and came to Restigouche County when four years
of age. He was educated there and at Chatham, N.B. In 1865 he
entered the Chatham lumber business of his half-brothers, D. and J.
Ritchie, of Liverpool, and with him his brother Robert became a
partner in 1868. D. Ritchie returning to Liverpool, the deceased and
his brother Robert carried on the Miramichi business, having their
sawing done at various mills and shipping from Chatham.

In 1871 they removed to Newcastle and bought the Rundle site,
where they erected a large mill of their own. They maintained the
old firm name and prospered. Robert died in 1907 and left the de-
ceased, who later associated his sons with him, as sole proprietor. The
deceased took an active interest in public questions and was appointed
to the old legislative council in 1890, and voted for the dissolution
of that body in 1892. He was Newcastle’s first mayor in 1899 and an
alderman several times after that. He had been president of the South-
west Miramichi Boom Company for thirty years. Three sons survive,

Allan J., Harold H., and David.

Jack McNab, bookkeeper for Wm. Milne & Son, at their Selwood
Junction plant, died recently as the result of injuries sustained dur-
ing a fire at the company’s office.

Prosperity Wave Headed for Pacific Coast

“Prosperity in the East is on the high gear and is undoubtedly
headed for this Coast,” said Mr. H. F. Alexander, president of the
Pacific-Alaska Steamship Company, who returned to Vancouver from
a six weeks’ business trip to New York and Boston recently. “I was
amazed at the change in conditions I found when I arrived in the
Fast since I was last there in August,” he said. “Everything is boom-
ing business in every line is greater than it has been for years. The
factories are filled up with orders for months ahead; shipyards are
so overcrowded with orders that they will not listen to any proposition
for vessels for less than two years ahead; shops and stores are filled
from morning until night ; hotels are crowded, while the rail and steam
transportation companies say that business is better at present than
at any time in the history of their organizations.

“The lumber mills of the South are stocked with foreign orders
that will keep them busy for two years and the lumbermen say the
Mississippi Valley, the Middle West and the Atlantic coast will have
to depend on the mills of the Pacific Coast for their lumber needs.
While the closing of the canal has put off the business to a certain
extent, they all agree that they will be compelled to come West for
their lumber.

“While the war is undoubtedly responsible for heavy steamship
business and trade in munitions of all kinds, the executive officers of
the many railroads and concerns that I talked with also tell of an
immense increase in domestic trade. I personally saw the executive
of the Great Northern, Milwaukee, Northern Pacific, New York &
New Haven and others, and they, without exception, said the trans-
portation business was better now than at any time in the history of
the roads. Furthermore, they all state that the wave of prosperity
is rapidly extending to the Pacific Coast. This is the opinion of men
who have made a study of conditions, and not mere talk of the
moment.”

That the lumber market in the Pacific Northwest is in healthier
tone than for several years past was the consensus of opinion expressed

by more than one hundred lumbermen who attended the quarterly

Association at
Portland, Oregon, recently. The attendance was representative of all
lumber districts in Pacific Northwest territory. Mill stocks generally
were reported as pretty thoroughly cleaned up and logging camps were
said to be preparing to resume activities earlier than for several sea-
sons past. Optimistic reports were received from Eastern lumber

- market points, where it was said there was a very definite belief that

railroads had resumed heavy buying.

Important Operations at Fassett, P. Q.

Fassett lumber company’s plant kept running winter and summer—logging railroad
from camps to mill.

The Fassett Lumber Company,
Fassett, P. Q., operate one of the
few mills in Eastern Canada that
are kept running both winter and
summer. In order to operate at
all times of year the company have
constructed an extensive logging
railroad into their limits, which
enables them to bring logs from
the bush to the mill in very short
time and to handle special orders
to great advantage. The illustra-
tions accompanying this article
represent the mill as it appears
to-day. This is an entirely new
mill built to replace the one form-
erly operated by the company
which was destroyed by fire in
June, 1913. The new mill was
running on January Ist, 1914. The
equipment includes two _ single
cutting 8 ft. bands, two heavy
duty edgers, automatic trimmer
and slashers, all furnished by
Clark Bros., Olean, N. Y.; a 650
h.p. Corliss engine, and the other minor equipment necessary to
complete a modern mill. The filing room equipment was _ fur-
nished by the Covel Mfg. Company, of Benton Harbor, Mich.

The main mill is 55 x 160 feet and the sorting shed is 140 feet by
38 feet. The capacity of the plant is 100,000 feet in a ten hour day.
Its output consists of spruce, hemlock, pine, birch, maple, beech,
basswood, ash, oak and elm. ‘The plant is operated upon its own
refuse fuel and the surplus refuse which cannot be utilized in this
manner is sold to the Standard Chemical Company who have a plant
a few yards distant. One of the illustrations shows the planing mill
operated by the Fassett Lumber Company. This mill adjoins the
main sawmill and is equipped with one No. 65 American Wood
working Machinery Company’s planer and matcher, one American
Woodworking Machinery Company’s rip saw and trim saw, all con-
nected up with a blower system for removing sawdust, etc. The
planing mill is driven by an electric motor which is operated by a 125
h. p. engine connected to a 7/0 k. w. generator.

Shipping scene on Ottawa River at
Fassett, P. Q.

Splendid Shipping Facilities

The shipping facilities at Fassett are excellent. The company
is able to make shipment very conveniently either by rail or by
_ water, being located on the C. P. R., about fifty miles east of Ottawa
and seventy miles west of Montreal, on the north side of the Ottawa
river in the County of Labelle. Adjoining their mil) they have
piling room for 14,000,000 feet of lumber. Through their yards they
have eight elevated tramways running from the sorting table at the
mill. None of their finished lumber is hauled by horses. In fact,

The Hot Pond—Fassett, P.Q.

the company do not employ any horses at their mill. Each tram-
way is connected up with a spur to the railway which enables the ©
company to switch cars from any part of the yard and load them
direct from the pile. .

There are several features connected with the operations of the
Fassett Lumber Company, to which we have already referred

briefly, which render it quite unique among Eastern Canadian lumber
producing firms. The production of logs and of finished lumber is
extensively a problem of transportation and nearly every firm in
Eastern Canada transports its logs to the mill by means of water,
often taking a year or even two years in the process and thus eating
into the profits of the mill. The logging operations at Fassett are
operated entirely by rail. The limits of the company are situated
some distance inland on the Salmon River in what was originally
known as the old Papineau Seignory. The area of the limits is
about 80,000 acres. The company have cut over, including this
year’s cut, 38,000 acres. They have been operating about ten years
and estimate that they have sufficient timber left to keep the mill in
operation for another ten years. Their logging railroad now
extends for 22 miles of main line and includes also some ten miles
of switches. The logging operations are handled entirely by a con-
tractor who has this year in the woods some 350 men divided among
eight camps. Every day the logging trains bring down a sufficient
quantity of logs to keep the mill running. These are dumped into
a hot pond, 400 x 150 feet, at the foot of the jack-ladder, which is kept
hot throughout the winter by means of exhaust steam from the plant.
The logs are thus thawed out and ready for the saws. During the —
winter the company operates almost entirely upon hardwoods and
during the summer time upon soft woods.

The main line of the logging railroad runs through the north-
eastern portion of the limits. Branches run off this line which are

January 15, 1916

built annually into the sections in which the year’s operations are
to be carried on. Three Shea-geared Lima Ohio locomotives, one of
55 tons, one of 65 and one of 70 tons, in addition to one saddle tank
switching engine of 25 tons and two Barnhardt steam loaders, 60
log cars and 26 flat cars comprise the rolling stock of the company.
This is in operation daily, year in and year out, between the limits
and the mill. During the winter season one engine is kept in the
woods to handle the two steam loaders, while the other two engines,
each handling 22 cars are kept coming and going continuously. [ach
of the loaders handles 65,000-feet per day.

Woods Work Handled By Contract

By letting out to a contractor the work of securing the logs, the
company saves itself a great deal of intricate work and does away
' with the necessity for a supply store, the hiring of men and the em-
ployment of a large office staff, which is always required by logging
operations. They are also enabled to know exactly how much the
logs are costing them from time to time. The logging contractor
has the logs cut and skidded the short distance to the switch. Here
his work ends and the logs are taken in charge by the lumber com-
pany. Each section is completely cut over as the operations proceed,
even the small stuff being removed and sold to the chemical com-
"a pany. The limits are thickly wooded with a splendid quality of
_ timber running extensively to hardwoods.

vies Operating Costs Kept at a Minimum

With their railroad, hot pond and winter operations, the com-
pany claim that their costs of production are greatly reduced in com-
parison with other companies which operate only for part of the
_ year and which transport their logs by water. The company gets
_ quick delivery of its logs and is able to clear both.the hardwood and

the softwood at the same time. Its hardwoods are never water-
stained and thus produce a high quality of product.
be The officers of the Fassett Lumber Company are Hon. J. Sloat

Fassett, Elmira, N. Y., president; A. E. Edgcomb, Knoxville, Pa.,
vice-president; Harry Thayer, Elmira, N. Y., sec.-treas., and S. J.
Staniforth, Fassett, P. Q., manager.

_ Recently, in order to get into touch quickly and frequently with
es, the operations in the woods the manager of the company worked out

a successful scheme for converting an automobile into a means of

_ conveyance along the logging railway track. Four flanged wheels

were cast, of a special size to fit over the rubber tires of the auto-
mobile. These slip on easily when the tires are deflated. Then
__ the tires are blown up firmly and the flanged wheels are thus held

_ strongly in position. The car then runs along the logging railroad

- track and is under perfect control. It takes the grades and curves
— without any difficulty and can be run at a very high speed. The
efficiency of this contrivance was clearly demonstrated to the Canada
_ Lumberman upon the occasion of a recent visit when a trip was suc-
cessfully made into the woods, in spite of the fact that quite a heavy
fall of snow had rendered the rails slippery and difficult to travel.
______ This year the Fassett Lumber Company are taking out 14,000,-
% 000 feet of logs and have left over from last year’ cutting 6,000,000

_ feet. Forty per cent. of these logs are hardwood. Last winter
_ they cut 12,000,000 and had 8,000,000 feet left over from the previous

year. On account of their special facilities for handling orders
quickly the Fassett Lumber Company have felt the recent improve-

confidently expecting a continuance of good business throughout the
winter and an increased demand in the spring.

Mill Type Construction Advocated

The advantages of mill type construction were outlined in a report
recently by Paul Whitham, consulting engineer, presented to the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce. “The ‘mill’ type of construction,”
he said, “that is, masonry walls with interior columns, beams and
floors of wood, if well protected with automatic sprinkler devices
and. properly constructed, may be made practically as good a fire risk
as a so-called absolutely fireproof building. It is also possible to
erect entire structures of wood, so protecting them that they are
more than a very fair fire risk. Such buildings will cost anywhere
from twenty to fifty per cent. less than the so-called permanent fire-
proof buildings and will serve the purpose in most cases just as
efficiently.

“There is an additional advantage that is particularly applicable
to a newly developing country, in that the mill or timber type of
buildings may be easily and cheaply removed or altered to meet new
conditions or to allow for the re-arrangement or entire replacement
of plants in connection with the expansion of business.

“Timber, of course, has its limitations as a construction material,
and as to whether or not it should be adopted as the principal material
of construction must be determined only after a careful consideration
of the circumstances and purposes involved in each specific case. A
thorough analysis in each instance, however, | believe will lead to
the use of timber in a large number of cases, the economic advantages
of which to the community will be twofold:

“First—The smaller capital investment required will enable in-
dustries to get under way that might otherwise not be able to make
a go of it. ,

“Second—The increased use of timber will help out the lumbe1
industry, thus reacting favorably on all lines of business in the com-
munity. In saying this, | am not overlooking the fact that the steel
and cement industries also are important lines of activity, the develop-
ment of which the community should foster. The prosperity of these
industries, however, is very largely dependent upon the general in-
dustrial development of the community; consequently, if as a result
of advertising the advantages of low cost mill factory buildings the
growth of the manufacturing activities is accelerated, the cement and
steel business is bound to prosper proportionately.

“The mill type of factory construction has witnessed its greatest
application and development in New England, particularly in connec-
tion with the textile industries. Recently there has been a tendency
to get away from the use of timber in the erection of textile buildings,
largely for the reason that it has been difficult to get suitable struc-
tural timber, or, if it were obtainable, to get it at low enough prices.
This should afford an opportunity to West Coast lumbermen, as soon
as transportation through the Panama Canal is established on a nor-
mal basis.

“A notable instance of the use of timber in industrial building
construction is in the central manufacturing district of Chicago, where
a tract of approximately 300 acres of land is now largely covered with
factory buildings and warehouses, eighty per cent. of which, I am
informed, are of the mill type sprinkler-protected construction.

“In addition to the possibility of inducing a more rapid industrial
growth by the use of low cost timber buildings wherever circum-
stances will permit, this very use should develop a high class of ‘mill’
construction, the advertising advantages of which would be of great
value to the lumber interests in the more distant and foreign markets.”

A budget of comment on men and things of moment presented in the
interest of our readers, independent of party politics
and with malice toward no one.

General Bertram has paused to dig a few trenches around the grave of
the late lamented Shell Committee and train the heavy guns of his typewriter
on the critics of the dear departed. But, sad as it may seem, General Bert-
ram’s defence, which appears in an open letter to Sir Sam Hughes, is at points
strongly at variance with some statements made by D. A. Thomas, who, at the
instance of Lloyd George, came, saw and spoke ere he departed. And what
he said misled even the Government organs into thinking that certain con-
tractors had “striven to get large profits out of their contracts.” But hear
what General Bertram says:

“For various reasons while chairman I have refrained from giving out
a statement of prices as compared with prices in England and the United
States. But I can assure the public that in nearly every case our prices are
lower in this country. I have before me a comparison of prices which will
prove my statement.”

* * *

But hold a minute! Perhaps we can reconcile the above with Mr. Thomas’
remark that certain manufacturers were getting larger profits than they were
entitled to. Perhaps General Bertram is speaking of the prices of to-day. And
Mr. Thomas may have been thinking of the prices before those famous inter-
views in which Mr. F. P. Jones denies taking so important a part. This really
looks like a reasonable conclusion, for further on in his letter General Bertram
goes on to say:

“As the business developed in Canada, as experience was gained, we were
enabled greatly to reduce the cost of production, so much so that on our
present contracts we expect toi save the Imperial Government probably $30,-
000,000 as between the price of the original orders and the prices now being
paid to the manufacturers.”

You'll remember it was reported that the aforementioned interviews, the
cancellation of approved tenders that followed, and the subsequent letting of
contracts on new tenders, saved the British Government $21,000,000. The
denial subsequently issued declared these figures to be incorrect. Has General
Bertram at last given us the true figures? Or must Mr. Jones get credit for
only part of the saving and part of the credit be given to the demand for
contracts caused by the new policy of letting them by open tenders?

* * *

General Bertram appears to take credit for the Shell Committee from
strange sources.
turers undertook contracts without any financial advance, whereas in England
the Munitions Department advances the money for the complete equipment
of their factories. In other words, he pats himself on the back because Can-
adian manufacturers were possessed of enterprise of which his committee
and the Government behind it were utterly lacking. It is no fault of the
Shell Comimittee that the shell making industry has made some progress in
Canada. It is the fault of both the Shell Committee and the Government that
the industry is not double its present volume.

* * *

By the way, we are still waiting to hear what Premier Hearst has to
say to his wayward follower J. R. Follis, M.P.P. for Peel. Will he read him
a little lecture on the evils of horse trading and tell him to sit low in the
back benches till the trouble blows over? Or will he come out cold and
hard and tell the errant James that he who would profit by Government horse
deals has no place in the ranks of the grand old party of Sir James Whitney?
By the way, what would Sir James have done? The Government is being
weakened by this silence on the part of Mr. Hearst.

If shells are being made in Canada cheaper and more quickly than they
are in the United States and England, why is it that hundreds of millions
in contracts are being spent in the United States, where only tens of millions
are placed here? Perhaps General Bertram, who is responsible for the state-
ment, will write another letter and answer this question. In the same letter
he might mention why, when a Hamilton manufacturer offered to make shells
at cost, his offer was not accepted.

* * *
~ “We. were asked to bid on 5 in. shells,” says a manufacturer,” and bid a
price the same as other firms. A few days ago we received an answer that
our tender could not be accepted, no reason being given.” Perhaps when
General Bertram writes his next letter he will give the reason.

Mr. McAvity, manager of the Buffalo Forge Company of Berlin, who hz
been engaged by the Imperial Munitions Board to act in an advisory capacity
looks to me like the right man in the right place. He not only has per
knowledge of the manufacture of shells, but is a man of good judgment and
wide business experience. He should give valuable assistance to the
Board. The latter evidently means well and if it were built on a somewhat
broader gauge could do much to repair the damage done by the Shell Com- —

erals as well as Conservatives have been taking a hand in the shell gam
as partial justification for its course, it quotes the following from the H
Herald:

“The Montreal Herald has been extremely vigorous in its denu
of war profiteering and profiteers. But the Montreal Herald’s esteen
contemporary, the Mail, discloses the fact that the editor of the H
Hon. George P. Graham, is a director of a company which has b Z
a profit of 100 per cent. out of the manufacture of war ‘munitions. T
seems to be on the Herald.”

Anyway, while the Journal does not think that Brockville’s favo:
has very much interest in any company so occupied it gravely arr
conclusion that “the important thing is that there should be an_
the question of shell profits,” and it winds up with the following:
tions are needed—not on behalf of the Dominion Government, which hac
nothing to do with the matter, but on behalf of the former Shell Cor cama é

and the manufacturers.”

Major-General Bertram has taken all the alleged sins of the Shell Com-
- mittee on his shoulders and gone south in search of new health. On his way
he passed through Toronto, where he was able to sit up and talk about a
~ column and a half to The Globe. Possibly he figured that giving his side of
the story publicity through the Liberal organ would leave it free from partisan

fe and give the people of Canada an unprejudiced view ofa great patriot

mn who thas been misunderstood and misrepresented. Anyway, he, by his own

_ announcement, stands before you a man who rose from mechanic to manu-

_ facturer; who offered his services to his country and was made chairman of
e€ Shell Committee. He awarded all the contracts, and was responsible for
(the Committee in every way. He alone awarded contracts to the amount of
; 45,000, ,000, and doing it made a saving to the British War Office of $42,000,000.

And after doing all this he has been criticized! Do you wonder that he picks

out a Grit newspaper and cries through its columns, “The attacks are not.
fair. They are breaking my heart.”

And though General Bertram may be staggering south with the entire
ight of the Shell Committee on his shoulders, it is to Sir Robert Borden
; Government that the public look for explanations. The Government
d the Shell Committee, and even if it acted in behalf of the Imperial
es and took its instructions from them it represented the Canadian
lent in every transaction in which it took part. It was the servant.
nt of the Canadian Government and to its employer we must look
anation of its actions.

* * *

Z So far Sir Robert Borden has taken no action in regard to the matter.

He was heard from once in regard to the F. P. Jones incident, or chapter of
‘in ents. His Government has appointed Sir Charles Davidson as official
in gator of war contracts, but apparently his powers only extend to con-
tra ts for materials to be paid for out of the Dominion treasury. The order

cil appointing the Commission reads “concerning the purchase by and
ehalf of Your Royal Highness’s Government.” Consequently it would
pear that as the shells were purchased for the Imperial authorities the shell
( tracts do not come within the scope of Sir Charles Davidson’s labors. If
Be h s interpretation is correct the Government is all the more to blame for
7 ee silence. It was supposed that Sir Charles, with his investigations of
pavined horses and poulticed drug bills, was simply clearing the decks for
heavier work. Now we are left to believe that with the “war baby” lying
anamed grave, General Bertram hurrying south with his failing health
aking heart, and Wall Street boosting stocks by reports of enormous
profits, no provision has been made for clearing the matter up in any way

itsoever.
* * *

What use, then to talk about taxing war profits? Without an investiga-
mn how are we to know that there are any profits to tax? General Bertram
ms that he got the shells made for $42,000,000 less than the estimates of
ritish War Office. Can it be possible that his one sin was too much

from the Patriotic Fund? Was the man who had a half a million to
ona plant with which ‘he offered to make shells at cost really asking
an contract prices? Are all those stories that come from Wall Street
npts to sell a little stock to tide over a losing season spent mak-

at ie a “a ‘ ’

But on the other hand, if the charges mentioned by the Montreal Mail
have foundation it is the public and not the committee or contractors who
are entitled to explanations. The Mail in criticizing General Bertram’s open
letter to Sir Sam Hughes says in part: “It is with real reluctance that the
Daily Mail suggests the incompleteness of what is termed General Bertram’s
‘valedictory.’ A public duty, however, cannot be evaded, and it is a public
duty to remind General Bertram that his statement, utterly lacking in detail
and definiteness as affecting the criticism of the work of his committee, does
not allay suspicion but tends to strengthen it. Major-General Bertram has
been accused of enriching his private interests from business placed by the
Shell Committee under his direction. He has been accused of showing favor-
itism in the distribution of shell orders, and of allowing prices to the manu-
facturers (including his own concerns) out of all proportion to the cost. Not
one of these charges did he deal with in his valedictory, except in relation
to the price of shells, and in this particular matter he withholds from the
public the very information it desires.’ These are warm words. They are
all the warmer that they come from a Conservative paper edited by M. E.
Nicholls, a half-brother of Hon. W. T. White, Minister of Finance. It might
be added, however, that in a more recent statement General Bertram states
that he has only one share in the John Bertram and Sons Company, Dundas,
Ont., which was the first firm to ship to England, and that he has never drawn

a dividend from it.
* * *

For Mr. Flavelle’s statement that contracts were to be taken from con-
tractors General Bertram has an explanation. In fact, the Government ap-
parently left him, not only all the work, but all the explaining besides. When
the urgent call came from the trenches for high explosive shells the British
War Office naturally turned to the Shell Committee. It had been doing
wonderful work and saving immense sums of money. It had business genius.
Exercising that sagacity, and realizing the need of securing these shells in
the shortest possible time, the Shell Committee so placed these contracts that
they haven’t yet been filled. Consequently they are being recalled and placed
with firms that can handle them.

One of our subscribers writes us that it is not the duty of trade papers
to discuss politics or matters outside of the trade. He may be right. It is
true that politics and politicians fut the rules of trade carefully to one side
before starting to run the biggest business in the country—the country’s own
business. It is true that no business man would think of running his business
on the lines the country’s business is run on. He would never think of putting
a college professor in charge of a department he knew nothing about simply
because he could make a good speech. He would never engage his employees
for the simple reason that they had a pull with certain ward politicians. Con-
sequently politics may be a trade apart. But the public have to pay the mech-
anics who work at this particular trade. Don’t you think the said public is
entitled to an occasional glance at what its workmen are doing? And how is
it going to get it if some paper not “in the game” doesn’t break loose occa-
sionally? If a Grit paper criticizes, a Tory paper rushes to the rescue, and
the issue is soon lost in the cloud of recrimination that is raised. So some-
times a trade paper stops to wonder why a Government cannot be run along
honest business lines, and how long you or I would remain in business if we
treated our customers the way the Government treats the public. It is our
turn to furnish the public with its “look,” and if our readers will bear with us
yet a little longer they will discover that they are gazing on the body politic
and seeing things, not as they are painted by a Government organ or the
opposition critics, but exactly as they are.

When the cry went forth that this was a war of munitions Australia
promptly began to mobolize its state-owned shops for munitions work. Did
Canada do likewise? No; Canada—or rather the Canadian Government—
promptly side-stepped by handing over the Transcona shops to a private syn-
dicate which is doubtless doing a nice business at a nice profit. Had the
Government been big enough to seize an opportunity it could have fitted up
the Transcona shops with shell-making machinery at a cost of about $100,000,
hired the best mechanics in the country, and turned out at least 5,000 shells
per day. Moreover, it would then have been in a position to judge from its
own experience just what price should be paid for shells. It would have had
at first hand information which would have ended profiteering before it started.
But probably the entire cabinet were busy making speeches when the oppor-
tunity offered. High-explosive speeches had to take the place of high-ex-

plosive shells.

Britain is said to have black-listed certain United States firms suspected
of being affiliated with the Empire’s enemies. And from the way the Kaiser’s
friends in the republic across the way have acted since the war began you
would naturally expect the old land to be a bit careful as to whom she deals
with. Canadians should follow suit. We have no quarrel with the United -
States. But within her borders are large numbers of the hyphenated, who
are all the more dangerous that they are allowed at large among civilized
people. Canadians should be careful that no business of any kind should be ~
placed with them, either now or after the war.

The protection of the new industries created by the war and its conse-

quent shell orders is to be made the subject of a report from the Economic
and Development Commission. And that report will require the closest
scrutiny when it is presented. Even in official Ottawa it is admitted that
- prices obtained by some manufacturers have been sufficiently high to permit
: of the scrapping of their plants when the war is over. Of course if these plants
7 can be kept going as business propositions, right and good, But the public

will hardly stand for their being fed on Government pap. They've heard so
“pe much about munition profits that they’ll want to know when the war is over

that every Government dollar gives to the man who has fought for his
country or those he has left behind him. He who has stayed home and made
money will receive scant consideration.

* * *

When Tommy comes marching home he is going to ask the Government
if it permitted the handing around of shell contracts “to prevent commercial
depression” while his comrades were dying in the trenches for lack of the

shells. Will the Government have its answer ready?
SEARCHLIGHT.

Canal Reopening Still Far Off

B. C. lumbermen, and the consumers of B. C. lumber in Eastern
Canada have been greatly affected by the interruption in traffic
through the Panama Canal. Many reports have recently been issued
regarding the probability of the canal being reopened in the near
future. We regret to note that an official bulletin issued about the
end of December from the office of the Panama Canal Company holds
out little promise of an early resumption of traffic. The bulletin
states that conditions are very unstable and it is impossible to esti-
mate in advance what the probable available channel will be at any
succeeding date. The bulletin also says:—‘The governor still states
that no prediction can be made of the probable date of opening and
he is extremely anxious to prevent a premature resumption of the
routing of ships via the canal, which would be sure to embarras the
work and would result in the delay of the final opening of a stable
channel. He also calls attention to the fact that such a premature
resumption would be expensive to shipping interests on account ol

~ unavoidable delays to ships that might have to be held for an in-
definite period.”

The fourteenth annual convention of the Hardwood Manufac-
turers’ Association of the United States is being held at Cincinnati,
Ohio, on Jauary 18th and 19th.

Important Announcement of B.C.
Premier

Transportation for Tidewater Mills—
Development of our Open Ports

In a message delivered on the occasion of his recent acces-
sion to the Premiership of British Columbia as a result of the
retirement of Sir Richard McBride, the Hon. W. J. Bowser gave
the following outline of the policy to be followed by his govern-
ment in relation to the above important matters, in which our lum-
bermen are so vitally interested. Premier Bowser said:

“Ocean transportation must be provided for the tide-water
capacity of our mills, now about 700,000,000 feet per annum, so
that we may secure and enjoy our proper share of the world’s
trade. As the matter stands to-day, we have surpassing wealth
of timber, an immense investment in manufacturing plants and
every facility, save one, for large development. We have no ship-
ping and overseas markets. We must have vessels operated di-
rectly in the interests of our own industries and also to carry our
natural products. Only thus can the province market its own
timber wealth, and so dissipate the depression that has hung over

_ the industry so long. Recognizing the vital importance of this
matter and the paramount need of a strong commercial policy
to end the shipping crisis, the government will submit decisive

legislation at the forthcoming session of the Legislature. The de-
velopment of our water-borne lumber trade will benefit our Coast
manufacturers and should, at the same time, give the Mountain
millmen larger trade opportunities in the Prairie Provinces, their
natural markets.

“The Western grain crop of 1915 has accentuated the neces-
sity of using all Canadian ports to their utmost. The questions
of shipping and elevator accommodation involved are primarily
the responsibility of the transportation companies and the Federal
authorities, but this Government appreciates the urgency and im-
portance of this matter and proposes to take whatever action may
be open to it to secure early attention for these developments so
that the ‘all the year around’ open ports of British Columbia may
be made use of to their fullest extent to export the annual crop
of the Western Prairie Provinces as well as the output of the
Peace River district, which will have railway connections at an
early date.”

Western Manufacturers and Retailers Hold Meeting

A meeting of B. C. lumber manufacturers representing the Coast
and Mountain Associations and the Western Retail Lumbermen’s
Association was held recently at Calgary, Alta., with Mr. F. E. Sine
of the Atlas Lumber Company, Calgary, in the chair. One of the
interesting features of the meeting was an address by Geo. Ingram
of the Security Lumber Company Ltd., Moose Jaw, Sask., who
spoke of the necessity for all retailers making proper protection
about and under their stoves and about chimneys. He pointed
out the necessity of keeping their yards clean from hay, straw
and other rubbish, so no fires would originate from within. He
also said the retailers should see that those adjoining their property
did likewise. This would keep fire losses in lumber yards at a mini-
mum, and it would enable retail lumbermen to have lower insurance
rates. Arrangements were being made for the registering of the
Retail Lumbermen’s Mutual Fire Insurance Company in Alberta.
This company had been carrying insurance on many retail yards in
_ Manitoba and Saskatchewan at only 48 per cent. of the Board rate,
__ which was the rate that is being paid by most dealers, and this in itself
Was a great saving, reimbursing the dealer many times over for his
expense in belonging to the Retail Lumbermen’s Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company, and what could be done in Saskatchewan and Mani-
toba could and would undoubtedly be done in Alberta. In reply to
the question as to how this would affect the lumber yard with the
local insurance agent, Mr. Ingram showed clearly how the lumber
yard could pay the local agent, as a bonus if he deemed necessary, the
amount of money-the local fire insurance agent would get by writing
his policy and then save a third or more of his premium.

Retailers Must Give Service

if ‘Mr. N. G. Neill, secretary of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s
_ Association, displayed several pictures, drawings and blue prints of
farm buildings which drew forth great admiration. Many enquiries
were made as to obtaining poster pictures in retail yards. The build-
_ ing department of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association offers
to the retail dealer plans of all kinds of farm buildings, and, if he
_ desires the blue prints, he can obtain a complete set for any build-
‘ing at a cost of only $1.50. This makes it possible for a retail dealer
Ee to give to his trade the very best of service. Mr. Neill explained the
_ special Plan Department, whereby it is possible for a customer,
8 ‘through the retail yard, to send to the Association a rough drawing
___ of a proposed building which the Association architects will work into
___a proper design and for which blue prints can be had for exactly what
it costs the Association. This enables the retail dealer to give to his
customer further and better service and at the very lowest price
at which it can be obtained. Most retail dealers now fully realize
that they must give service to the public and be merchants, and when
_ they are, and that service is given, they have a satisfied public, and
are able to compete against any competition.

President Galvin Wants Better Business Methods

Mr. W. D. Galvin, president of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s
Association, spoke before the meeting, urging the necessity of the
retail lumbermen joining together in an association that would be
_ progressive and constructive. He asked all the Alberta retail lum-
_ bermen to consider the idea of becoming members of the Western
Retail Lumbermen’s Association. He showed them that organization
and co-operation on the part of all dealers is the means. of promot-
ing better methods of doing business and thereby rendering better
public service. The community rightly demands adequate public
service from any class of dealers, and more particularly from those
__ who handle a commodity of universal necessity. If the public does
_ not receive service, agitation will soon result in establishing a new
‘medium of service, and those who have failed will no longer be
allowed to serve. :
The methods of the retail dealer must be constructive and pro-
é' gressive to hold his position, and he who denies that the change is in
__process will be swept off his bearings so completely as to be unable
to get a footing in the new order of things should he endeavor to hang
to the fogeyism of the past. The old order of things in retailing
lumber must be thrown off and modern methods used, and the
_ shackles of worn out methods must be thrown off by the retail lum-
_ bermen themselves or the business will pass into the hands of the

More Publicity is Required

a _ While the promoters of wood substitutes were waging a consistent
campaign through attractive advertising, the manufacturers and re-
ilers of lumber had, up to the present time, done but little to
mteract these energetic efforts to exploit wood by any effort to
acquaint the public with the superiority of wood. Through the co-
eration in the matter of publicity of lumber associations, pro-
1cial governments and the Dominion Forestry Departments, a far-

This educational campaign cannot be long delayed, and when a
greater market is created for the manufacturers it means a great mar-
ket for the retailers. The same reacts when the market is lost to
the manufacturer; it is also lost to the retailer.

The British Columbia manufacturers also held a meeting
at the Palliser Hotel, and an address delivered by Mr. R.
Benedict, of the Forest Branch of the B. C. Government, was listen-
ed to with much interest by all. Mr. Benedict explained the work they
were doing to show the various B. C. “Timbers” to use for different
purposes and parts of farm buildings. He also explained their re-
cently published ten bulletins on “Farm Buildings,” and their four
bulletins on “British Columbia Timbers,” of ‘which bulletin No. 12,
entitled “How to Finish B. C. Woods,” is of special interest to home
builders, owners, carpenters, architects and building contractors.

B. C. Lumber Unequalled

At a joint meeting of the manufacturers and retailers, the repre-
sentatives of the Mountain and the Coast Lumber Manufacturers’
Associations explained to the retailers that they were in the best
position to serve their needs and wants. They impressed upon the
retailers the fact that the B. C. mills manufactured lumber which
could not be equalled or excelled in quality or workmanship by mills
in any other part of the world. It was unanimously agreed by the -
retail dealers present at the meeting that they encourage the use of
Canadian manufactured lumber whenever it was possible or when it
was within their bounds to do so.

Western Trade Improving

The Christmas holidays and the usual festivities attending the
new year made business rather quiet in the lumber trade in the Prairie
Provinces. The retail dealers are looking chiefly after their collections.
All the farmers now have money and are paying their debts freely. It
is expected that January will see a further revival in the lumber trade
in the Prairie Provinces. A well-known B. C. lumberman discussing
the lumber situation last week said there is now a vast variation in
the price of logs according to how the seller is able to meet the buyers’
demands. He expects the sensation in the near future in the lumber
business will be furnished by hemlock, with which all the northern
coast is carpeted and which, when cut into lumber, makes a product
which takes a polish like fir and is nearly as durable, while the grain
will compare favorably with curly maple. Hemlock is a heavy wood
and not amenable to rafting except under special methods of handling,
but in the years to come is expected to be the greatest source of in-
come from the forests of Western Canada.

The following Western lumbermen are about to leave for the
front: Capt. George R. Hanbury, as Adjutant of the 90th Battalion ;
Capt. W. R. Herchmer, transport officer of the 79th Battalion; and
Lieut. G. R. MacPherson, of the Keewatin Lumber Company. Lieut.
MacPherson is at the Port Osborne Barracks, Winnipeg, training
with the officers’ corps.

Other lumbermen of the West who have joined the overseas ex-
peditionary force are Mr. Jas. F. Pike, late of the Finger Lumber
Company, Le Pas, Man. He has joined the 90th Battalion, which is
known throughout Canada as “The Little Black Devils.” Mr. D. W.
McDonald, of the Farmers’ Lumber Company, Saskatoon, is at Win-
nipeg training for the front, as is Mr. J. F. Doak, of the Doak Sash
& Door Company, Saskatoon, and Mr. R. M. Thompson, architect.

Thirty thousand feet of clear spruce was recently brought down
from Masset, Queen Charlotte Islands, B. C., for shipment to Eng-
land, where it will be used in the construction of aeroplanes. This
wood is specially suited for the purpose, being light but staunch.

A Record for Winnipeg

The huge crop of Western Canada has made itself felt in the
bank clearings at Winnipeg, for the clearings for the month of
November are a record in the history of the city; while in the
whole of the Dominion, Winnipeg stands only second to Montreai
in the amount of bank clearings for last month. Winnipeg’s clear-

ings were $245,962,656, while those of Montreal were $282,487,024,
_the clearings of Montreal being $81,083,995 over the same month
last year, and of $38,092,250 over November, 1913.

Timber Cruising Methods

By Judson F. Clark, Forest Engineer

As a precaution—in the event that one of the laity may read pea
—T shall at once define a “Timber Cruiser as one who examines =
reports on timberlands, giving the quantities, qualities, and values o

rs thereon. :

Be aetiot the earliest logger was somewhat of a timber cruiser, but
be would not have known himself by that name. It was at a much
later day, when the timber “looker” went out on long trips with a map
for a chart and a compass as the most indispensable part of his equip-
ment for roaming the trackless forest, that someone likened him to a
mariner who similarly finds his way on the pathless sea, that the
term “cruiser” was applied to him. It was an apt comparison, and
the term has long since found general acceptance.

The evolution of the modern timber cruiser and of his profession
is the necessary result of the changing point of view of the timberland
owner. In the early days of the lumber industry, standing timber or
stumpage was purchased solely for the purpose of converting it
quickly into logs. Then the finest of timber trees encumbered the
best of agricultural lands, therefore the logger could be interested only
in high grade timber—mostly white pine and white oak—growing on
level or gently rolling land. At this stage a cruiser who would in-
clude in his report the amount of hemlock, or balsam, or cedar, or
gum, on a tract, or who would include even the white pine or oak that
grew on a hillside where it would be inconvenient to log it by bull-
team, would be very properly thought incompetent, and perhaps crazy,
by his scandalized employer. _ The only permissible “cruise” at that
stage was an estimate of the timber that could be profitably logged at
the time the cruise was made.

But times change, and nowhere have they changed more extra-
ordinarily than in the lumber buisness. The early logger of white
pine logged out his limits and moved to new ground without a thought
that any value had been left behind. He had found it hard work to
make a living margin cutting only the best, and how under these cir-
cumstances could the inferior trees have any possible logging value?
What, then, was his astonishment to find that ten or fifteen years
later he could return to his logged-off pine lands and make a larger
cut of sawlogs and a deal more money by logging over the same
ground for cull pines, spruce, hemlock and cedar? This time he left
nothing but trees too small for lumber and the worthless hardwoods.
Another decade, and he finds that he can make a small fortune of easy
money from this same twice-logged-over area by simply selling out
to the pulp and paper man, or the stave manufacturer, or the wood
alcohol distiller.

This story has been repeated with local variations within the
business lifetime of a single generation of lumbermen in every im-
portant lumber district east of the Rocky Mountains, and what was
more natural than that the lumberman should look to the virgin
forests on the lumbering frontiers as an exceedingly promising field
for the investment of the wealth that had thus been so unexpectedly
forced upon him? Thus was born a new and vast factor in finance—
the field of timber investment.

The march of progress in the utilization of the less favored kinds

_of timber has gone steadily onward, and with it the improvement of
methods of log transportation, until it is generally admitted that saw-
log timber, wherever found in considerable volume, has an actual or
potential investment value.

The contrasts that fifty years have seen as regards log values may
best be appreciated by comparing the average white pine log cut in
Ontario or Quebec in the sixties with the present cutting in those
regions of the formerly despised black spruce and balsam, down to
three or even two inches in the top and four inches on the stump.
And as regards log transit, by comparing the tedious transportation by
ox-team on the best of logging ground, to the rapid flight of logs by
aerial tramway from the Mount Kenia plateau in East Africa to the
saw-mill plant located many miles distant and more than six thousand
feet below.

Great as has been the progress in utilizing what was once waste
wood, and in lessening the cost of getting the logs to the mill by
devising new machinery and better methods, there is every reason
to believe that progress is be to continued in both lines. Thus in the
standard commercial cruise of today the modern timber cruiser is
called upon to make a complete inventory of all the timber on a tract,
with careful mapping of the location of the different kinds and qual-
ities on the ground, together with full details of the topography of the
area and of the outlet to rail or water transportation. :

Just here it may be worth while to consider the validity of the
word “merchantable” as applied to standing timber. It has already —
been given a good deal of attention by our “learned friends,” the
lawyers, and we are not inclined to have them make a profit from its —
eccentricities. Among timber investors and lumbermen generally it is
understood to mean not only such timber as might be logged under —
existing conditions at a reasonable profit, but also to include such as —
might reasonably be expected to be so logged within a reaconsbiea

time! What a delightful opportunity for legal confusion! Mae

On the other hand, many loggers who buy their stumpage from
hand to mouth, so to speak, limit the term “merchantable” to what
they find they can profitably log under current conditions as regards
cost of logging and log prices. Notwithstanding the much wider
use of the word in its broader meaning, it does seem that it is bes
suited to describe the loggers’ case, and should be limited to that use.

If, then, we regard the merchantable timber as that portion of a
stand that may be profitably logged at any given time, it follows that
the merchantable cruise on any tract varies with the fluctuations of
all factors affecting the profit of logging. If the price of logs falls the
amount of timber on any area that may be profitably logged is
decreased. If the cost of labor, foods, or machinery increases, the
merchantable cruise is still further diminished, and may and will
disappear entirely if the changes are such as to make the logging of —
the tract for the time unprofitable. Conversely, any increase in log
values, or any lessening of the cost of logging, automatically in-
creases the merchantable cruise. Where all the timber may be
profitably logged the “merchantable” cruise becomes identical in
amount with a commercial timber cruise which gives the total volume
ot sound timber, less a proper allowance for unavoidable breakage in
alling. : -

A concrete case will further illustrate the point. A certain tract
within towing range of Vancouver, which on account of the topo-
graphy could not have been logged at all with the equipment used
twenty years ago, was partly logged in 1906 and-1907 by donkey
engines. The logs were sold in 1907 at $12.00 per M, camp run, at
the loggers’ boom. Stumpage was reckoned worth $1.00 per M.; the
royalty was 50c per M. One dollar net was considered a fair logging
profit for the logs that were hardest to get, hence the logger could
afford to spend $9.50 ($12.00 less the $2.50 as above) in getting his
most difficult logs. In other words, any timber that could be logged
to tidewater for $9.50 or less was “merchantable.” Practically every —
log on the tract could have been put in the water at that figure, and
the limit which twenty years ago would have shown no timber on
a “merchantable” cruise basis came to have an average of about 40 M
per acre of “merchantable timber” in 1907, which was also the total

Had this limit been logged in 1915 instead of 1907, the average price
at the boom for the camp run (as cut in 1907) could not have ex-
ceeded $5.50 per M. Allowing $1.00 for stumpage, 75c for royalty,
and $1.00 for logging profit, the logger could not have put in any logs
costing more than $2.75 per M. to log. In the case of the limit in
question this would mean that he could not have opened it up at all,
hence the “merchantable” cruise would have again returned to zero.

These considerations, together with the further fact that different
loggers vary greatly in personal efficiency, and therefore what is —
“merchantable” to one may be profoundly unmerchantable to an-—
other, have long ago established the total volume of sound timber as’
the only admissible basis for commercial cruising, leaving the
merchantable volume to be determined from time to time according —
to the varying local conditions of log costs and log prices. These
supplementary merchantable estimates are invariably reported on
separately—usually by letter—as are also current stumpage values,
which are likewise influenced by the fluctuating factors of current log
costs and values, as well as by the demand and supply of stumpage __
for investment and for operation. - a

_ Ina new country such as the British Columbia Coast, where many
limits are purchased for immediate logging, the determination of the
merchantable stand becomes a very important part of timber cruising.
In governmental reports on timber offered for sale for immediate
operation (as in the case of government timber sales), it is of course
the only cruise desired by either buyer or seller. In private work,
such cruises, though frequently made for private owners, are seldom
given publicity. This is no doubt partly due to the fact that they are —
good only for the conditions obtaining at the time of report, but the -

“chief reason is doubtless that cruises are usually made public only
when owners are desirous of selling their properties, and they very
_ properly desire to have the entire stand on the tract offered for sale
and considered on its merits quite without regard to whether or not
all of the timber could be logged at a profit at that particular time.

{ In the case of virgin forests the total volume cruise may be
accepted as accurate for many years. That is to say, that in a mature
virgin forest the rule obtains that the annual growth is approximately
offset by the annual decay in the over-mature trees, and, barring loss
by fire or windfall, a cruise made a decade hence would show little

_yariation in wood volume or quality.
ae Incoming of the Forest Engineer

So much for the basis of modern timber cruising. The evolution
in method is equally interesting.
_-——s* The old-time cruiser was usually a man who had had experience

: in logging in the same district as that in which he undertook to cruise,
and who, on examining a tract, could make a comparison between it
nd other tracts which he had seen before they were logged. And,
shaving in mind the amount which had been cut from the logged areas,
could approximate the amount which would be cut from the area
sed if logged in a similar way. Many capable men thus trained
gave a very good account of themselves as long as the standard of

ogging did not greatly change, and so long as they continued to

_eruise in the district with which they were familiar.

_ With changing logging standards in the old districts, and with
the exploration of new districts where logging was still in its infancy,
or where it was conducted with different equipment, and above all,
1 the demand for a detailed mapping as well as cruising of the
berlands, a new type of timber cruiser appeared.

The Forest Engineer, as the modern timber cruiser is called, is
ntially a man of engineering training, and it has been his task to
standard mapping methods to meet the needs of the logging
eer, and to apply scientific methods to timber cruising, or, in
words, to standardize the measuring and valuing of forest stands.
methods of accurately mapping lands have of course jong ago
standardized. It was part of the work of the forest engineer to

it exceeding the cost that a lumberman could well afford to pay.
s to the aneroid barometer used in conjunction with more pre-
struments, this has been accomplished.
_____ The standardization of timber cruising methods called for two
radical departures, namely—the development .of volume tables, and
the “gridironing” of the tract cruised by systematically covering it
with a series of parallel cruise lines.
o take the latter first, the cruiser first establishes base lines
are carefully chained and levelled, and on which he marks the
or ten-chain points. The boundaries on two opposite sides of a
it will conveniently serve as base lines, provided they are not more
imile apart. Should the logging of the limit call for a railroad,
proximate location of the main line should be traversed and
d, and this will serve as an additional base line on which to
the cruise lines. The cruise lines are then run from one base
¢ to another at whatever intervals may have been decided on,
ig in view the regularity or irregularity of the stand. In large
Te ob cruise lines are usually spaced ten chains apart, but where
e timber is patchy a closer spacing is necessary. As he runs his
( tage the cruiser tallies all timber (classified by species, height
class , diameters and quality) on a strip 66 feet wide (33 feet on
_ either side); makes note of the character of the surface and other
raphic features (such as stream crossings, rock outcrops, etc.) ;
1akes a complete record of elevations as shown by his aneroid.
ruiser also sketches all topographic features and type boundaries
s he can see on either side of his line. This gives practically

_ cruise lines is 10 chains apart, the parallel cruise lines (on which a
complete tally of the timber and other data is taken) will occupy 10
ent. of the tract. If the spacing of the cruise lines is five chains,
ete data will have been taken on 20 per cent. of the tract. For
considerable area, a 20 per cent. cruise is sufficiently accurate even
igh priced stumpage. In the East and South 100 per cent.
2s have been made for white pine and cypress, but it is at least
lif the resulting refinement in accuracy justifies the additional
‘owners. A 20 per cent. cruise costs about 50 per cent. more
10 per cent. cruise, and on small areas and where stands are
atchy the closer spacing is necessary. A 100 per cent. cruise
bout six times as much as a 10 per cent. cruise, or approximately

acre, as compared with 30c per acre for Coast conditions in

“CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 35

Having determined the kinds, numbers and sizes of the trees on
a tract, the next step is to translate these figures into feet board
measure, log scale. This is done by means of “volume tables.”

A volume table for any kind of timber, Douglas Fir, for example,
is a table that gives the average scale for all Douglas Fir trees
according to diameter and merchantable length. Thus in a volume
table before me, prepared by the United States Forest Service, I note
that a fir 36 inches in diameter, and having a log length of 170 feet,
contains on an average 2,020 feet board measure if scaled according
to Scribner’s log rule. Our firm has during the last nine years
collected a large amount of volume data for all Coast timbers. This
data is gotten by scaling logs after the fallers on a large number of
logging operations, using the British Columbia log rule.

In comparing our tables with those developed in a similar way
by the U. S. Forest Service for the same species in Washington and
Oregon we find, as might be expected, that ours average somewhat
lower but in other respects resemble them closely. The lower scale
is probably due to a somewhat higher stump in British Columbia, to
the slightly lower scale given by the B. C. Rule as compared with
Scribners, and to the well-known fact that the north temperate zone
trees reach a better individual development towards the southern
limit of their range. The members of the B. C. Forest Club will be
interested to know that our tables check satisfactorily with those
published by the B. C. Forest Branch. Our red cedar and hemlock
tables are, however, appreciably lower. ;

In using volume tables it must always be recalled that its figures
are average figures, and that there should always be secured local
measurements of trees on each tract so as to determine whether the
timber on the particular area cruised will scale better or poorer than
the average shown by the table, and how much better or poorer.

The standardization of timber cruising enables different cruisers
using standard methods to get closely uniform results for the same
tract. The maximum variation for a 10-chain spacing of the cruise
lines should not exceed 10 per cent. and should average less than 5
per cent.

Examples of great and even extreme variation in the amount of
timber exported on the same tract by different cruisers whose methods
were not standardized are so frequent as to be quite commonplace.
Perhaps as extreme as any were two cruises on a group of 23 limits
within fifty miles of Vancouver. The cruise on which the tract was
purchased was 365 million. The cruise on which the limits were
abandoned after the payment of $125,000 on purchase account was
$16,000,000. Another case that comes to mind was a happier one for
the purchaser. A single limit this, cruised some ten years ago at six
and a half million. The owner logged five million from it and sold
the “logged” limit on a basis of the remaining one and a half million.
A later cruise showed less than 100 acres had been cut over and a
stand of over fifteen million remaining.

The burden of checking different cruises which fail to harmonize
has naturally fallen in increasing measure to the forest engineer. And
in this connection it will be most illuminating to refer to our own
experience in a couple of typical cases.

Some British Columbia Examples

In the summer of 1912, a large corporation desired to purchase a
large tract on Harrison Lake. The owner submitted a very attractive
cruise, made for him by an eastern firm. The prospective purchaser
had the tract reported on by their own cruisers. Their report was
favorable for the purchase of the tract at the price per M asked, but
found a substantial shortage in the amount of timber on the ground.
On the owner’s refusal to make the required concession, he having
every confidence in the accuracy of his cruise, the prospective pur-
chaser asked our firm to check the cruise made by their own men on
certain selected lots. This we did, with the result that their cruise
was found to correspond very closely with ours on the lots examined.
The owner, still unwilling to accept the lower cruise, asked for a joint
cruise by his cruisers and our firm of three designated 40-acre blocks.

On going on the ground with two representatives of the other
cruising firm and representatives of both prospective buyer and seller,
the writer took along copies of the volume tables used by our cruisers
in computing the cruise on this particular portion of the tract. In
making the joint cruise both parties agreed closely as to the number
of logs per tree, percentage of breakage, and all other important
points, except the vital one as to how many feet»board measure there
was in any tree of given dimensions. We finally agreed to fall and
scale 30 trees as a test of our different views. In order to make this
falling-and-scaling test a direct check on our cruise, I handed the
representative of the owner the copies of the volume tables that had
been used by our cruisers, with the request that as each tree was
measured he call out the corresponding scale from the volume tables,
thus eliminating my personal judgment from the test. At the con-
clusion of the scaling of the fourteenth tree the other cruisers refused
to scale any more. The showing at that point was that their average
estimate was slightly over 30 per cent. too high, while the figures from

-. to contain 188,100,000 board feet.

36 CANA DA

our volume tables averaged within 3, per cent. of the actual scale of
the logs as measured on the ground. Reta

The other case to which I shall refer had its origin in a case of
“nerves” on the part of the owner—an eastern syndicate. They had
had a large timber tract carefully cruised at the time of purchase by
an old-timer in cruising who bore a good reputation, and who had
had considerable experience on the B. C. Coast. Later, however,
they became anxious to have the cruise checked, and placed the
matter in the hands of their business representative at Vancouver
with instructions to use the most competent cruiser available. The
checking cruiser reported a shortage of some 700 million feet, or about
half the original cruise, and further complicated the case by the most
extraordinary variations in the case of individual forties, where he in

some cases found four or five times as much timber as Cruiser No. 1,

notwithstanding the fact that his cruise as a whole was so much
lower. :

The distressed owners came to us explaining that they did not
want another cruise, but did want to know if there was not some
way of determining by precise measurement the exact amount of
timber on a forty. We advised them that a measurement which
would silence all doubters would be to survey out the boundaries of
the forty, measure the breast-high diameter of each individual tree
thereon, plainly marking each tree as measured to avoid error, and
finally to get the scale of 10 per cent. of the trees by accurately
scaling the logs therein contained with a special tree-scaling instru-
ment. They responded by indicating 25 forties which they wanted
thus scaled. The scaling of the 25 forties showed that the higher
man was Safely below the actual amount of timber on the ground,
and that his cruising was as consistent as could reasonably be ex-
pected. The comparison with the second man’s work showed that
he had been lost when he was supposed to have been doing his work,
if the results turned in were actually from data taken on the ground.

The standardizing of timber cruising resembles standardizing in
other lines in that it consists of eliminating in so far as is practicable
the element of personal judgment. Perhaps in no other calling con-
cerned with the determination of quantities and values has the ele-
ment of personal judgment played so large a part in the past. Nor is
it possible to wholly eliminate it. It has, however, been very largely
replaced by real measurement, and to that extent timber cruising has
been reduced to a scientific basis, and the forest engineer is entitled
to his name and place in the ranks of the engineering profession.

Well-Known Lumberman Now Optimistic

President John Hanbury, ‘of J. Hanbury & Co., Ltd., Van-
couver, B. C., returned recently with Mrs. Hanbury from a trip
to Eastern points. Considerable time was spent with Ottawa friends,
and on the return journey a number of prairie centres were visited.
Mr. Hanbury left the Coast holding rather uncertain views as to the
future of the lumber industry—he returned a pronounced optimist, the
change being the result of actual contact with conditions and effects
which cannot fail to produce an abundant prosperity throughout
the entire Dominion.

The West, in Mr. Hanbury’s opinion, is assured of good times as
a consequence of the phenomenal grain crop in the prairie provinces—
day after day new records are being established owing to the acre-
age yield in many districts having been considerably underestimated.
There is no “spotted” territory, as in other years, and practically every
farmer in the three provinces will have plenty of money for all pur-
poses. What this means to the lumber industry can scarcely be
grasped, states Mr. Hanbury, it being well known that for the past
two or three years the average farmer has been unable to do business
with the lumber retailer. In the meantime he has learned a lot about
the money-making possibilities of mixed farming and has been hoping
for a big crop which would put him in the way of erecting the ne-
cessary buildings. Everywhere there will be a demand for lumber
for one purpose or another, and it looks as if there will be business
for most of the mills in-the province if an outlet can be secured for
the usual cut of the export plants. This seems probable in view of
the more cheering report from the Panama Canal and the fact that
steps are being taken to secure governmental assistance in solving
the transportation problem by building a fleet of lumber carriers.

Prosperity is assured the eastern portion of the Dominion, states
Mr. Hanbury, as a result of the tremendous activity in manufacturing
lines, the good crops, and the enormous war orders about to be placed
in addition to those now in hand. Good times in Ontario will mean

a better demand for B. C. lumber, a fact which should not be lost
sight of by our millmen.

U.S. National Forest Timber Sales

Bids have been accepted by the United States Department of
Agriculture for two large bodies of National Forest timber estimated

in Utah. With one exception, these are by far the most important —
sales made this fiscal year, which is expected by forestry officials to
run considerably above last year in receipts from timber sales, the
first five months having shown an increase of nearly 40 per cent. —

The California sale is on the Plumas National Forest in the Sierra
Mountains. The most valuable timber is sugar pine, for which $3.25
per thousand was bid, with an estimated total of nearly 26,000,000
board feet on the tract. For yellow pine, of which the amount is
put at over 37,000,000 feet, $2.60 was bid.

Douglas fir, white fir, and incense cedar, which have a much
lower market value, brought an average of only about 70 cents a
thousand for a total of over 43,000,000 feet. The purchaser will be |
allowed an operating period of fifteen years, besides a year at the
beginning for the construction of necessary improvements; but the |
prices to be paid are subject to readjustment every five years. sae

The Utah timber is in the Wasatch National Forest, and will be —
cut chiefly for railroad ties. It comprises, according to the gove n- »
ment’s estimate, 82,100,000 board feet of green and dead lodgepole —
pine, Engelman spruce, and alpine fir. The sale price is 10 cents for __
each tie cut and % cent per linear foot for mine timbers. WER San .

Notwithstanding that since the current fiscal year began, July 1, —
there have been two large previous sales of National Forest ti er, :
one in Arizona of less than 50,000,000 feet, the other in Washington __
of nearly 100,000,000 feet, the vast bulk of the sales from the National
Forest are of small quantities for the supply of local needs. 1e
total cut from all the National Forests last year was 689,000,000 a
feet, of which nearly one-fourth went to local residents allowed free __
use, while out of a total of nearly 11,000 individual sales only 109
involved timber worth more than $1,000. With timber receipts dur-
ing the last fiscal year in excess of $1,175,000, the forestry officials say _
that if the rate of gain already made this year continues the receipts —
will exceed all past records. nee v if

Cargo Orders for St. John Spruce Stocks —

A St. John, N. B., despatch says that several Government orders
have been received there for steamer cargoes of spruce lumber for war
purposes in Great Britain and France. No doubt more will be re-
ceived. This is good business and is the more welcome because the
stocks of lumber carried over are about 25 per cent. larger than those
of last winter. The cut of logs during 1915 was larger than that ofthe
previous year and prices were higher. The operators had a profitable
year, but the big shippers had some difficulty because of the high
freights, and this Government business helps them out. The British
lumber market has advanced a little of late, with more active demand
than a year ago, but tonnage is still scarce and the freight outlook
so uncertain that the big houses are not booking orders ahead as usual
at this season but are awaiting market and freight developments. The
winter thus far has been the mildest for many years. Swamps were
not yet frozen hard at the end of December, and there had been no
sleighing in the southern part of New Brunswick or in Nova Scotia.
In both provinces, therefore, operations in the woods have been de-
layed. Sait

Law Suit Over Forest Fire Losses ii

The Attorney-General, the Parry Sound Lumber Co. and the
Bank of Montreal are plaintiffs in an action against Angus Sinclair,
the Canadian Northern Ontario Railway Co., and Mackenzie, Mann &
Co., to recover $68,720 for damages said to have been caused to timber
in the township of Street, by trespass and fire. The bill is itemized
for some 77,000 trees, which it is alleged have been destroyed. Of
these some 2,200 were cut in trespass, it is said, for poles and bridge ag
timber. A fire caused by railway construction started a fire which
destroyed 11,047 pine trees and 24,453 other trees on May 24th, 1914.
A steam-shovel in a gravel pit started a fire in July, 1914, in begs
12,205 pine trees and 27,015 other trees were destroyed. The plain-
tiffs ask $16,000 for the increased cost of operating the limit } ae
damage to the rest of the township. =

It is estimated that 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 sleepers will be required _
by the British railways in 1916, and, owing to the European war, which __
has cut off supplies from the countries bordering the Baltic Sea, the
requirements for next year will be met largely by Canada and th
United States. English railways are accustomed to use sleepers 5
in. by 10 in. by 8 ft. 11 in. in size. The sleepers imported into Great —
Britain from all sources during 1914 were valued at $3,192,400.

Box-Making in British Columbia

The rapid expansion noted in all lines of business in British Col-
umbia prior to the declaration of war had an especially stimulating
effect upon the box-making industry; and it is worth noting that
while the depression due to the dislocation of the world’s commerce
has been felt most severely by the lumbermen of the province as a
whole, the box manufacturers have been enjoying a good run of
orders at fairly remunerative prices. This is to be ascribed in the
main to the rapid development of the fruit and vegetable industry,
together with the deep sea fisheries, which call for enormous quantities
of containers for shipping purposes. In addition to the largely in-
creased home demand for boxes a considerable foreign trade has de-
veloped, with the result that several sawmills having box factories in
connection are now filling huge orders for the United Kingdom, Aus-
tralia, New Zealand, and elsewhere, the material being shipped in
shook form, to be assembled as required.
One of the best of the Vancouver factories is that of the Pacific
Box Company, Limited. The business was established in a small
_ way on Prior Street in 1906, but in 1913 the present company erected
works on Falsé Creek, at the foot of Smythe Street. Here—in the
very heart of the city—they occupy a site of three acres with valuable
water frontage. The modern factory erected at the land end is 109
x 108 feet in dimensions, of two storeys. Between the building and
deep water there is piling ground for a large stock of lumber. At the
present time over two and a half million feet are being carried in order
that it may be thoroughly seasoned before use. The lumber is trans-

_ ferred on trucks from the pile to the machines on the mill floor. The
equipment includes a fast-feed Woods planer (capacity 250 ft. a min-
- ute), a large Berlin planer, pony planer, horizontal and vertical resaws,
and the latest design of dovetailine machine (three machines in one)
which has a capacity of four thousand finished boxes every ten hours.
In all, the plant has twenty-one different machines, two fans and one
blower, to operate which there are twenty-four electric motors ranging
_ in horsepower from 5 to 80. Some of these are direct connected to
the machines. The equipment represents the latest and most improved
machinery for making boxes, either in shooks, nailed or dovetailed. At
the south end, on the first floor, is a filing room having Covel and
other machines for saw and knife sharpening and repairs.
The capacity of the sawing floor is 40,000 feet of spruce, hemlock
and pine lumber a day. When sawn the shooks are transferred by
hoist to the second floor for assembling, nailing and printing. There
are two printing machines, one haying double cylinders for two-color
~ work.
z Mr. R. W. Sharpe, under whose efficient management the com-
‘pany has made steady progress, says that the plant can supply boxes
for any purpose and in any quantity. The business is largely with
manufacturing concerns, fish packers and fruit growers, but numer-
ous orders for special sizes are received and filled from time to time.
So far, the firm has not accepted any foreign orders, the demands of
the B. C. and prairie trade having taxed the capacity of the plant.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 37

The Modern Retail Yard

At a recent convention of retail lumber dealers at Little Rock,
Ark., Mr. C. K. Nicoll, of the Arkmo Lumber Company, read an
interesting paper, entitled, “Practical Suggestions for Arrangements,
Equipments, Accommodations and Conveniences in a Retail Lumber
Yard.”

Mr. Nicoll gave the retailers present at this meeting many prac-
tical suggestions regarding the ideal arrangement of a lumber yard.

First of all, he insisted upon sheds for the lumber—sheds with
studding set at regular intervals so as to be uniform. By this ar-
rangement the lumber dealer had a permanent advertisement for his
stock, for nothing catches the eye of the public more than “LOOKS.”
Looks are the first requisite in selling.

Next he favored bins 7 feet high and 4 feet and % inch wide,
with a shelf where required. This height permitted a man to reach
the lumber easily, and the width permitted the stacking of lath in
them.

Mr. Nicoll advocated plenty of light in all sheds, and made the
suggestion that a cupola with 10 x 12 twelve-light windows with
weights every four feet would meet the situation nicely. This
would provide the necessary circulation of air and light at the same
time.

Alleys at least 20 and preferably 24 feet in width were recom-
mended by the speaker. Such alleys permitted the stacking of lumber
in the alley if necessary and the pulling out of 20-foot timbers with-

Pacific Box Company’s plant at Vancouver, B.C.

out inconvenience. The stacking of all lumber the full width of the
bins with a lath placed between every tenth layer of the boards kept
the piles straight, permitting checking of stock-taking in haste, and
in addition prevented slovenly yardmen from pulling from the side
of the pile. He also recommended the stacking with tongue out in .
all lumber having such, for injury to tongue did not depreciate the
value of the commodity, while a break in the groove caused a loss.
Mr. Nicoll also advocated the cutting of all bundles and declared
that in this manner the stacking could be done for 35 cents a thou-
sand feet, and there was, moreover, a saving in time over the handling
in bundles that would not permit straight nor rapid stacking.

In the handling of moulding he advised the retailers to erect a
shed near the office with bins for 2,500 feet each, the reserve stock
to be kept in bundles overhead. He declared that the bins should
be numbered so that an ignorant laborer could be sent to pick out
the stock and make no mistake if necessity demanded it. Lumber-
men should also use colored crayon to mark the ends of their mould-
ing, using a different color to designate length. and in this way no
time would be lost in pulling out the length of moulding required.

In conclusion Mr. Nicoll advocated the placing of doors flat with
the ones least used in top racks. He said he always numbered his
doors from the bottom. In this way he knew at a glance the number
in stock, without having to wait and count them. He also keeps a
door which, while not numbered, is covered with paper on top, thus
protecting the others from the dust. In handling sample doors, he
advised lumber dealers to hang them by a hook from the top, per-
mitting them to swing out when desired for display. In this way
doors could be kept free from dust and at the same time make'a
good showing.

T. Lewis arrived recently at Ply-
mouth, England, after a journey
from Everett, Wash., which oc-
cupied eight months, with a
cargo of 2,000,000 feet of lumber
destined for Sheerness, England.
The vessel had an eventful pas-
sage, having been attacked and

Her crew expecting her to
founder, abandoned the vessel.
The ship was picked up by tug

Jos. Bedard and Sons, manufacturers and dealers in lumber,

come in the offices of lumbermen.

Blair and Rolland, Limited, wholesale lumber and pulpwood deal-
ers, 20 St. Nicholas Street, Montreal, have sent out to their friends
an excellent calendar with a fine picture in colors, of the Grand Canyon

- — A California despatch states that a lumber buyer who was in that
_ City early in January was negotiating for 200,000,000 feet of lumber
_ for the tse of the French Government. Five of the largest mills on
x the west coast were expected to have to co-operate so as to fill the
expected order. Among the concerns reported to be bidding for the
business were the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, Chas. Nelson Com-
v pany, Hammond Lumber Company and Pope and Talbot. The
5 despatch stated also that the British Admiralty was expected to
‘_ furnish tonnage for the shipment of this stock.

Reports from St. John, N. B., state that the lumber cut in St.

John County this year is not expected to be more than 35 per cent.

of what it was last year. The lack of snow has delayed operations,

and lumbermen are not anxious to take out as large stocks as form-

erly. Mr. A. F. Bentley of St. Martins expects that the cut may even

go below 35 per cent. In the district along the St. Martin’s-Hamp-

ton Road, for example, he says that the cut last year was between

12 million and 13 million feet and that this year 4 million feet will be

p the outside limit. Conditions throughout the county, he says, are

_ about the same. He also expects that in other parts of the province

similar conditions will prevail and the general cut in New Brunswick
will not be more than 50 per cent. of what it was last year.

Klim a Valuable Camp Supply Article

H. B. Clark, who has been demonstrating for and representing
Canadian Milk Products Limited for a long time has left on a trip
through the lumber district of Ontario. “Klim”, the lumbermen’s
milk in powdered form, is well known to many large lumber com-
panies in Ontario who use it regularly for camp milk. Mr. Clark is
' specializing with Klim and is visiting those lumber companies who
are either using Klim regularly or wish to know more about it with a
view to using it in their camps. The company state that Klim is
the only form of milk used in all the soldiers’ camps throughout Can-
ada today. Klim was’ adopted by the Dominion Government as a
regular army ration and milk at the beginning of the war, after most
exhaustive tests were made with it. The lumbermen should be fam-
iliar with a product which needs no better recommendation of its
purity, genuineness, food value, economy and convenience. Can-
adian Milk Products Limited, Mail Building, Toronto, have been
manufacturing powdered milk in Canada for twelve years and two
years ago perfected the process for producing Klim which, when re-
constituted with water, produces a liquid that can hardly be dis-
_ tinguished from fresh, liquid milk. ;

Ontario

There is practically nothing new to report in connection with
the lumber trade in Ontario. At this time of year all firms are more
or less busy with their stocktaking operations and in making up their
annual reports. The result is that enquiries fall off extensively for
a brief period. In former years, after the stocktaking period it has
been customary to consider that trade would continue quiet until the
opening of spring business. This year there is a fair likelihood of a
better situation. The stimulus given to trade by Canada’s great
crops during the past year and by the extensive war orders for all
kinds of supplies and boxes in which to ship them have created an
abnormal situation and it is not unlikely that a fair demand for
lumber will be worked up within the next few weeks and continue
until it is added to by the opening of the usual spring business. The
extensive trade resulting from the Government’s requirements in
shell boxes has to some extent shown a falling off as the Govern-

ment has not been so great a buyer of boxes during the past month.

Since the Shell Committee was superceded by the Imperial Muni-
tions Board, the old System of shell box purchasing has been altered.
We understand now that the Munitions Board is sending out speci-
fications whenever it requires boxes and that the specifications aie
accompanied by blank forms upon which to tender. Prospective
tenderers report that the result of this is much keener competition in
the production of boxes and much less dissatisfaction from parties
who iormerly were not permitted to tender. While this situation
may reduce the profits to be made in shell box production and may
keep the volume of production down to some extent, the clearing of
the air from the great number of complaints will be a benefit to all
We. hope to see it react to some extent and cause a
fairly good and steady market for shell box material. There is a fair
demand for most varieties of stock in Ontario, and although the actual
volume of trade is light at present, prices are well maintained and
stocks are light. Production this winter will in all probability show
a considerable decrease as compaerd with previous winters and even
as compared with last winter. Practically all the important factors
are working together in the direction of a firm and steady market in
the spring and if the building situation and the manufacturing activity
of the country develop as present conditions would indicate, the year
1916 ought to be a very prosperous one for the lumber trade.

Eastern Canada

The lumber trade at Montreal is rather quiet on account of the
winter weather and the annual stock taking operations. In general,
however, the trade feels quite confident about business for 1916, and
there is a fairly general belief that orders will show considerable
increase during February and March: Stocks in the local yards are
reduced greatly and are likely to be replenished for spring business.
A fair revival in building operations is also looked forward to. Shell
box production has been reduced considerably of late as the output
has been ahead of deliveries. The trade with the United States con-
tinues in fair quantity and spruce prices have improved to some
extent.

The spruce market at Boston is stronger. Millmen are asking a
base price of $27 for frames. The demand for random is a little
quieter, but there is a fair volume of trade. Quotations on random
are :—2x3, $21 ; 2x4, $22 ; 2x5, 2x6 and 2x7, $21 to $21.50; 2x8, $24.50 to
$25 ; 2x10, $26 to $27; 2x12, $27.50. There is also a fair enquiry for
boards and prices are quite firm. The spruce market at New York
continues strong. Clear stock is very scare, and there is a good
demand for low grade stock. Prices are all firm. The demand for
hardwoods at Boston continues to improve and quotations are firm on
all lines. The best grade of 1 in. plain oak has been bringing $64,
There is
not much enquiry for quarteerd oak, although a little improvement is
noted. One inch 1sts and 2nds are offered at $99 to $100. There
is quite an active trade in maple and birch. The hemlock market at
Boston shows improvement. Stocks of hemlock boards are rather
heavy, but millmen have been marking up their prices and holding
them firmly. A prominent wholesaler is holding clipped boards 10,
12, 14 and 16 ft. for $22. Shingles at Boston are quiet. Prices are
about steady. Some of the best makes of white cedar extras are
offered at $3.40 and fairly good extras are bringing $3.30. Clears are
selling at $3 and second clears are $2.65 to $2. 75 Lath continue to
grow firmer in price. The lowest price asked for 156 in. by the mill
is $4.25 and some are asking more. Quotations for 1% in. lath have

pee advanced by some mills to $3.90, but some can be bought at —

prices continue to advance. Spruce is still the chief feature of interest
and prices are continually stiffening. Each succeeding sale seems to
be at a higher price than the preceding one. There is already a very
apparent shortage in most sizes and the position is likely to be aggra-
vated considerably before spring. The scarcity and high price of
spruce are creating an interest in the cheaper grades of yellow pine,
numerous transactions being reported of late in 3rds and 4ths, par-
ticularly in the narrower specifications. But yellow pine prices have
also been advancing quickly and stocks are now much reduced. —

United States ei

Lumber trade conditions in the United States during the first.
two weeks in January were naturally inclined to be quiet on account
of the inventory season being in full swing. In spite of this however,
there has been a good volume of trade and market conditions con-
tinue on the same favorable basis as they have been for the past
month or two. In Chicago, for instance, trade is quite active. ae
volume of building operations is large and is being rushed in most —
cases. The factory trade has been good and yards catering to this
business have been making steady shipments. During the week
ending December 3lst the receipts of lumber at Chicago ass «a ;
54,230,000 feet as compared with 30,444,000 feet for the corresponding —
week a year previous. The total receipts for the year 1915 amounte:

The demand for northern pine fell off as was to be expen
during the last week of 1915 at Chicago, but wholesalers are sie ea
confident that the prospects for early spring trade are good. Prices
on all grades continue firm and the best demand at present is for t
lower grades. The volume of trade in northern pine at Minnea eo
is comparatively large and prices are firm. There has been a strong ,
demand from woodworking concerns. The low grades are scarce anc
in good demand at firm prices. At New York, the northern aan i
trade is active and enquiries are quite satisfactory. Prices continue —
strong and receipts are light. | White pine has held up well in price

Montreal Trade Confident About 1916

Montreal, January 11th. (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :
Although business is slow just now owing to the winter conditions,
and to stock taking, there is a general feeling of confidence as to the
current year’s trade, some lumbermen holding the opinion that
February and March will witness an appreciable advance in orders.
‘The local yards are very short of stock, having used up most of the
large amount of lumber which was on hand at the beginning of 1915.
Consequently they will be bound to order more freely for the spring;
the building program may not be extensive, but it will probably be
sufficiently important to cause a fair amount of trade for the whole-
salers and retailers. :

The continued shutting down of some of the factories making
shell boxes has restricted the sales of birch and spruce. Production
is ahead of the deliveries, and now that the rush for boxes is over, it
is probable that the factories will work on shorter time than has been
the case for some months.

Inquiries and orders for timber are improving. The latter are
not as large as was usual in the days of the great industrial activity,
but it is significant that they have lately picked up in an encouraging
fashion.

There is still a fair amount of trade for United States account,
and prices for spruce have in some instances improved.

The Montreal building permits for December totalled $2,044,425,
an increase of $1,683,290, but this apparent large gain is explained by
the fact that the total is made up almost entirely of buildings for the
Harbour Commission for the year, which are not bound to be in-
cluded under the law. Without these buildings, the permits would
show a-decline. For the year the permits were $8,511,221, or a de-
crease of $8,883,023.

While ground wood is dull, on account of the small requirements
of United States buyers, sulphate pulp is a strong and advancing
market. Prices are likely to go still higher, in view of the limited
stocks coupled with restricted importations to the United States from
Europe.

Ottawa Trade Handicapped by Embargo

Ottawa, January 9th, (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—Lo-
cal lumbermen are not overtaxed with orders at the present time, but
they have good foundation for complaint in view of the fact that the
orders they have in hand for the United States cannot be shipped.
The embargo recently placed on the New York Central lines on ma-
terial of export is hampering and annoying the firms here, who have
thus far been absolutely unsuccessful in getting even the small orders
through to New York.

The soft weather, which lasted for a few days this week, if fol-
lowed by a good cold spell, will result in a great deal of good and
improve conditions for the woods operations. It will soften the thin
sheet of ice on the river and with the return of the cold weather
drawing will be carried on with greater activity. Local men also look
to an improvement then in the roads, which will also result in allay-
ing the difficulties of hauling now being experienced.

Stock-taking is occupying the attention of lumbermen in Ottawa
and vicinity just now, and they do not look for any improvement in
trade during the next few weeks. A few orders for birch and pine
have been received lately but none of any proportion to speak of.
There have been practically no changes in prices.

North Shore Cut Reduced Twenty Per Cent

Thessalon, January 6, (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—The

_ weather during the month of December was ideal for lumbering along

the North Shore, but during the fall months of October and Novem-

ber it was most unfavorable, with rain nearly every other day. It

was almost impossible during October and November to get any work

Some lines of birch are low and clear maple is also scarce while oak
is firm. At New York, the hardwood trade continues active. En-
quiries have fallen off a little during the inventory period, but prices
are firm. The demand for oak, birch and maple is good. There is
a stronger demand for hardwoods at Buffalo than there has been for
some time and dry stocks are in fair demand. Oak, maple and ash

weather is soft and there is only about six inches of snow in the woods
and no hauling can be done. If no snow falls within the next two
weeks the situation will be serious. There will be a falling off of 20
per cent. in the output in this district during the present season as —
compared with a year ago. Some firms have very long hauls to the
water this year. One firm has about 300,000 ties to haul over six miles.

London Markets for Canadian Wood Goods aly

Churchill & Sim, London, Eng., in their monthly wood circular
dated December 3rd, say:—The month’s deliveries from the docks
are about equal to those of last year, but some 9,000 standards less
have been delivered overside as compared with November, 1914, when -
the importation was exceptionally heavy and stock was immediately
required for urgent work in connection with the war. The scarceness
of all descriptions of red and white wood available for immediate use
has intensified the firmness of the market, and prices were again
stronger all round. Forward business with Swedish shippers was re-
sumed at the higher figures quoted in October, and some considerable
lines of stock changed hands. Freights were appreciably dearer, neces-
sitating some very high quotations towards the end of the month, in-
cluding a guaranteed rate of exchange, but the demand was strong
enough to warrant merchants paying the prices, and the whole market
has had a lift up in consequence. Ce)

especially of the lower qualities, in harmony with the firmness of the __
general softwood market. Spruce has been particularly susceptible to «—
the altered conditions, and the upward tendency of values shows no
signs of being checked. ”

There is no alteration in the market for Canadian hardwoods, but
birch planks have shared in the general improvement. ee

January 15, 1916 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

It’s all over for 1915

The: year started in with a slight feeling of uncertainty permeating the channels

of trade, but as the months went by a feeling of confidence was forced to the
- front which reached its culmination when the big North-West grain crop was
~ assured.

As far as our own particular business is concerned we struck out at a good
gait from the drop of the hat, and for the first few months showed an advance
in our sales over the previous year of forty per cent. We were not able to hold
this all through the year—you will agree that it would have been most re-

_markable if we had—we did, however, pull out at the end of business with an
advance of twenty-five per cent. over I9I4.

To a force of salesmen working in thorough sympathy with the house, a staff of
able assistants in the offices and warehouse, who are ever zealous to push our
business to the highest notch of efficiency, and to a bunch of loyal customers

who are thoroughly appreciative of our anxiety and desire to serve them in the
most capable manner possible, we attribute the splendid results which we have
accomplished during the year under review.

And Now For 1916

We've got our programme ready—our plans are laid, and we're going to keep
on doing more business, because we're going to make ourselves so attractive
by values which we will offer, and by ‘service which we will render that you
will be prompted to push more business to our shop, and when you do we'll
promise to take good care of it, for we haven't reached our capacity yet in our
new premises and equipment, and if, and when we do, why of course we'll make
another expansion in our facilities, for be assured we want to continue to grow,
and to enable us to do so we want a lot of live-wire buyers to come along with us.

If you're one of this kind hitch up with us for 1916—we're not bad company to

travel with—ask anybody who knows us—ask him what kind of an average he

gets from us. Our boys are now out hunting for orders and have a number of

inviting propositions for you. If you don’t happen to be in their path why just
_ send us an enquiry for samples and prices.

We wish one and all A Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Work Up Business during the W:nter

A year has now ended, but which brought more or less of dis-
appointment to business men, particularly those w ho began it with
exaggerted expectations, which were not realized. 1 think this year,
however, has been one of minimum disappointments as far as volume
of business is concerned. The slowness of trade caused by the late
spring, has been compensated for by the rush of business in the late
fall and first month of the winter, and probably the retail lumbermen
have never faced a new year with greater probabilities of having a
good business during the coming season than they do at the present
time. _ The agricultural tank of “supply is full. The pressure of de-
mand will be great in consequence e and it will be up to lumbermen to
obtain their Sharé: To insure this for the retailers, it is not enough
for them to let their stock offer itself for sale; but they must realize
that the prosperity of the farmers will naturally tend to excite the
desire in them for having more and better things for convenience and
improvement in their business and for the enjoyment of life in
general.

You know that most people when they have plenty of money in
their pockets have an itching desire to spend some of it. In the lean
years they have thought of what they would have when the time came
that they were able to buy, and usually they do when that time does
come. The average farmer now looks forward to the time when he
will be able to buy an automobile. This is one of the principal things
he is aiming for in the future. To many, no doubt, this time has
already come, and they already have what they planned for, but there
are others who will be influenced by seeing the machine their neigh-
bors have got, and with sufficient means from this year’s crop, they,
too, will feel like buying one. Now, you know, there is many a
farmer who needs a better house; more and better conveniences for
the wife to do her work; more room for his growing family and a
larger degree of attractiveness for them. He needs, too, a building
for sheltering the machinery he has got. All these and other things
he needs more than he does an automobile. But the question is, how
is he-to be convinced of this? Every lumberman will ask this ques-
tion and scratch his head over the problem. He will see farmers
buying machines whom he knows ought to have better living con-
veniences than they have. But the makers of automobiles and their
agents have beat him to it and gotten in their work ahead of him. All
the year round they have been. bombarding him with their advertise-
ments and plausibly worded literature setting forth the economy,
pleasure and the advantages of owning a machine. All this has so
worked on his thought and imagination that unconsciously it has
During this period of desire incuba-
tion, the lumberman has been silent. He has allowed the mind of
the farmer to be swayed by others who are after the money the farmer
has to spend. This is the answer to one side of the question and
shows why he has lost out.

What the Retailer Must Do

The other side is a plain indication of what he should and must
do if he would reap the full benefit of this year’s crops. He, too, must
work upon and cultivate the mind of the farmer to the end that he
may see and be convinced that he and his family need the things T
have named more than the machine. He must be educated to see
and understand that his wife and children are more to him than all
his other possessions; that if he would have his wife contented he
should provide her with the degree of room and conveniences for her
work as he has for his own; that if he would have his boys and girls
interested and satisfied with farm life and keep them from leaving
home for the attractions and modern conveniences of living in a city
he must provide them with the comforts of a modern dwelling and
give them a chance to develop their social instincts as well. More-
over, make the farmer understand that the automobile is secondary
to these considerations; that it is an auxiliary and a necessary part of
the home attractions, but only a part, and not the whole thing, for
the machine is but the connecting link between the attractive home
and the social diversions of the town, and therefore, as I say, second-
ary in the living of a farm life.

There is no line of business but that is hot on the trail of the
farmer’s surplus. “As a man inclineth himself so is he,’ and these
competitors of the lumbermen are all the while working on the in-
clinations of the farmer and directing them for their special benefit.
The lumberman, therefore, must work upon and cultivate the farmer’s
mind and incline it in their interest as well. But some will ask,
“How the dickens am I going to do all this together with my other
work in the yard?” In times past this was reason enough to deter
any dealer from attempting to do anything of the kind, but the real
reason why most dealers don’t attempt any educative advertising
policy is because they lack both the will and the ability to do it ef.
fectively. Then again, they don’t recognize the value and importance
of at... “Uheir principal idea is to sell lumber. An important feature
of selling is creating in the mind of the party a desire for the particular

Now, to counteract the influence of this foreign salesman in the |

and make you talked about, which is an important element 1n
advertising.

If you can get people to come to you in consequence of this sort
of advertising and sending out your paper salesman every week, as I
have indicated in the foregoing, it will do much to eliminate the price
competition you complain of, for you will be pretty sure to sell far
more bills without it than you do by the old way of doing, and the
extra profits obtained will more than reimburse you for the money

cost of the methods I have suggested.

What Every Dealer Should Have

A valuable thing for every country dealer to have is a list of the
names of every farmer in his territory, and as far outside of that as he
may choose, designating whether resident owner or renter. For
convenience of reference, [ would advise using the index card system,
and on each card you can note many valuable particulars such as, in
whose name is the title of the farm, whether mortgaged or not, the
number and kinds of buildings on the place, the credit character of
owner or renter, the location of farm and sub-division of section, and
any other particular that will be handy for referring to. It will also
serve as a mailing list; which is something that is ” greatly needed in
every lumber office. You can get some of this information from the
public records at the county seat. It will take a little time to gather
all this information and enter it on the cards, and the beginning “of the
year is a good time to start it. If you are too closely confined to the
yard business, it will pay to hire someone who is not doing much this
winter to canvass the territory for you. I had a list once of 2,500
names of farmers living in our county, and what do you think? [
was fool enough to sell a copy of it to a dry goods concern in New
York City. They offered me a good price and I fell for it. That
was before we had heard anything about:mail order houses and their
ways of doing things. We have learned a whole lot since then,
haven't we?

Finding the Year’s Results
I presume this issue will reach most of you at a time when you

_will be too busy to read it, your whole atttention will be given up to

the job of invoicing and figuring it out, and whether owner of the yard
or manager, the great idea that will ‘obsess your mind until it is fin-
ished is the amount of profits-the results will show. The concrete

interest of the owner is the amount it will add to his wealth. For -

the manager it means the degree of success that has attended his
year’s running of the yard.” Doubtless he will also have a shade of

Negotiations are under way for reorganizing the Canadian Puget Sound

‘ Lumber Company, Limited, Victoria, B. C. It,is hoped that these will lead

finally to the reopening of the company’s plant at Rock Bay, although such

_ an eyent is not considered likely until lumber markets have improved con-.
siderably and the tonnage scarcity has been relieved.

The Brooks-McVickers’ shingle mill located at the head of Bessel’s spur
near Rand, B. C., will close down permanently about the middle of February.

is Mr. C. J. Leyland, London, England. Other officers are N. R. Whittall,
manager; E. Lafontaine, secretary-treasurer, and Frank S. Greene, sales agent.

St. Louis Hoo-Hoo Hold Large Concatenation

An important gathering of Hoo-Hoo was held at St. Louis, Mo.,
on December 30th, when about ninety members of the Order attended
a concatenation and dinner. The Snark of the Universe, Julius Seidel,
acted as toast master. A number of presents were made to various
members of Hoo-Hoo who attended the dinner, the first and most
important being an ink well holding a gallon of ink, and a pen about
‘two feet long, together with a book of records 18 in. x 24 in., which
were presented to secretary-treasurer Mr. E. D. Tennant. The meaning
of this gift was symbolical, indicating that a new era in Hoo-Hoo had
arrived which was to be recorded upon the clean white sheets of the
new book of records.

The veteran Ottawa lumberman, Mr. J. R. Booth, has caused
the piling, ready for burning at a safe time, of inflammable debris
on a narrow strip of his limits parallel to a portion of the Canadian
Northern Ontario Railway, east of North Bay. This progressive

__ action in connection with forest fire prevention will materially reduce
___ the fire hazard to valuable timber lands in the vicinity. Similar action
- by other limit-holders would undoubtedly be a paying investment.

_- There has lately been a material improvement in lumber shipping

_ facilities from Pacific Northwest ports. The firm of Charles R. Mc-

_ Cormick & Co: has completed a vessel with a capacity of 2,000,000

feet to put in the trade between the Pacific coast and European ports.

_ Another vessel of practically the same capacity had been ordered.
The vessels will be four-mast and have semi-Deisel auxiliaries.

When You
Overhaul Your Mill

HERE ate wet places in every saw and pulp mill where nothing but the highest class
belting can ‘‘make good”. It is for these wet places that we recommend what most
mill-men swear by—our

“ACME WATERPROOF” BELT

This belt is especially made for a rough and trying service. It has less stretch than any other
belt by 15 to 25 per cent.

When you are overhauling try a Goodhue ‘‘Acme Waterproof” belt. Other Goodhue belts
are ‘‘Extra’’ and ‘‘Standard.”

“1916

The Kendall Circular Gang meets the demand for a machine to turn small logs into
merchantable lumber economically—profitably.

machine, by reducing the time of handling small logs, keeps up mill production and
keeps down costs.

The Kendall Circular Gang takes cants from 4 in. to 12 in. thick, and at the rate of
2500 to 3000 a day turns them into lumber, perfect in finish and cut evenly from
end to end.

Other Gangs will cut lumber fast, but none of them can equal the Kendall on
quality of lumber sawn.

The “1916 Model” machine is the latest development in the Kendall patents.
New features that mean increase in capacity, increase in cutting quality, greater

] ‘Has Sir Robert Borden Missed His
Chance of Being a Great Man?

f Do we understand from Sir Robert Borden’s attitude in the House
that he refusés to hold an investigation into the charges that have been
- made in connection with the letting of Canadian munition contracts?

____ If he knows that the charges are false, would one not expect he
would jump at the chance of clearing the reputation of his friends?
What is the inference if he refuses?

If he persists in sidestepping the issue we believe Sir Robert has
_ missed the chance of a lifetime to show himself a really big man.
Will he prove to be what men are saying of him to-day, or will he
+ measure up to the standard of his opportunities? \
: The Attorney General seeks to draw a herring across the trail in
_ placing responsibility on the British Government. That’s not the
4 issue. The Canadian people want to know whether the men holding
ecutive positions have conducted themselves as becomes appointees
.* a party holding a great public trust, in accord with the honor of
citizens of our great Empire -and in the best interests of the efficient
duct of our war.
The original Shell Committee undoubtedly deserves credit for
despatch with which they placed orders among manufacturers,
were naturally shy of accepting the responsibilities of big oe
tain capital expenditures. But what conceivable excuse is there
fusing these same manufacturers further orders—even to the
of turning down an offer to furnish at cost?
efore the public press became aware of the existing conditions,
's of what was transpiring reached this paper, and we felt it was
uty to bring certain matters to the attention of our readers. Un-

and interfere as little as possible with our national military operations.

As we expected, even in this we have found the path of the pioneer
proverbially unpaved. We have the satisfaction, however, of having
started a protest that is now being taken up by the independent press
even of the Conservative party, and that is ringing from coast to coast
among our citizens of influence and power who love honor and effici-
ency more than money or party. We have the satisfaction of hun-
dreds of friendly assurances that our course has been right, and be-
lieve we are backed by thousands more who have read and silently
approve our stand. The final results will prove that our course has
been absolutely justified.

And now, let us get along with our share in this big war. We
have placed ourselves on record, and for the present will let matters
rest there. No matter how badly we are led, Canada is in it to our last
man, our last dollar, and to our last shirt.

Government Refuses Shell Com-
i, mittee Investigation
he people

of Canada have been given a nasty dose to swallow
by the Dominion Government in connection with the course to be
followed by the Government regarding the operations of the defunct
Shell Committee, which was in fact the Department of Militia and the
Minister of Militia. [We take it for granted that most of our readers
are acquainted with the events that occurred at Ottawa during the
debate upon the speech from the Throne. Some people may not have
followed the situation closely and we will briefly outline it. So seri-
ous were the charges made in regard to irregularities in the work of
the Shell Committee which were discussed throughout the whole of
Canada before Parliament opened, that the Hon. Wm. Pugsley, of
St. John, N. B., discussed them at some length during the debate
upon the ee from the Throne and concluded by asking the Goy-
ernment to have the situation investigated by the Canadian Parlia-
ment. The Government’s attitude in regard to the situation was an-
nounced by the Solicitor General, Hon. Arthur Meighen, who sought
to reduce the matter to the level of party politics, declaring that the
Hon. Dr. Pugsley had made “the most bitterly partisan speech since
the war began,” and that there was “less foundation in fact for it
than for any speech ever made in Parliament.” The Solicitor General
announced that the Government would not hold an investigation. The
reasons he gave were that the Shell Committee was answerable only
to the Imperial authorities, that contracts were given to Liberals and
Conservatives alike, and that the Liberal Government which was in
power at the time of the South African war had then refused an in-
vestigation of purchases in Canada for the Imperial Government.

~The people of Canada will not support a Government in this
stand. If the Government persists in its course it-can at best only
postpone the day of reckoning. We feel satisfied that Liberal and
Conservative members of Parliament alike—if they are animated by
the same spirit that animates those other Canadians who have gone
to the front—could face this matter out, during an investigation, with
a determination to rout out the evils and make the future work of the
Government in furnishing munitions a much simpler and quicker busi-
ness. /The present is a time for confidence in one another and co-
operation towards the one supreme purpose of winning the war. It
is no time for accusing one another of partisanship.

Our own leanings have been strongly towards the party, which
is at present in power, but we are firmly convinced that they have
made a false step in refusing an investigation. It is no use saying >
that an investigation may be held later on under “proper conditions
and at a proper time.” The chief object of an investigation is to clear
the tracks and make better work possible. By delaying the investiga-
tion until the war is over no good will be done in this direction. The
only benefit to be secured by the present Government would be the
doubtful one of transforming the matter into a purely political one.
The honest, fearless, straightforward and reasonable course to adopt
is to face the situation boldly to-day, hold the inv estigation, make it
absolutely thorough, and then have done with it. Nothing else will
persuade those who have enquired privately into some of the features
of the situation, that there has not been much grafting and favoritism.

24 CANADA

Nothing else will clear the Government of the suspicion that it is tak-
ing shelter under a paltry subterfuge and is waiting purposely until
time has mellowed the harshness of some of the charges and has made
it possible for them to handle the whole affair on a political basis.

Of the reasons given by the Solicitor General for refusing an ‘in-
vestigation, all but one are of a political nature. This one alone con-
cerns the Canada Lumberman and its readers, namely, the assertion
that for the speech made by Hon. Dr. Pugsley, there was “less founda-

. tion in fact than for any speech ever made in Parliament.” If this
is the case let the Government cause an investigation to be held. The
less foundation there is for the charges the quicker the air will be
cleared by an investigation. But there is foundation, and plenty of it,
and if the present Government will not order an investigation, it must
know, from its acquaintance with Canadian history, that an investiga-
tion will be forced upon it and that the consequences will be more
disastrous to them the longer it is delayed. We believe that the pre-
sent Government, by taking a straightforward course, would come
out of this ugly situation better than in any other way, and that the
whole matter could be cleared up, greatly to the improvement of
our ability to assist Great Britain and the allies.

The shell box feature of the situation, though to some extent
a minor one, seems to us to demand an investigation on its own face.
As the Government wishes the people to believe that less foundation
for demanding an investigation exists in this matter than in connec-
tion with any investigation ever asked for in the Canadian Parlia-
ment, we think it well to repeat the essential points in connection
with the cases which we have reported in previous issues of the Canada
Lumberman, all of which have to do only with shell box contracts
granted by the late Shell Committee.

In our first reference to this subject we complained of firms such
as the Deakin Construction Company and the Cedars Construction
Company of Montreal securing contracts for the production of shell
boxes. Such firms and many others who have received contracts were
not equipped for the production of boxes and had either to buy or
secure control of woodworking plants. At the same time we received
letters from all parts of the country sent us by woodworking firms
with modern and extensive idle equipment, who were unable to
obtain contracts. Many of these firms told us that in reply to their
applications for contracts they could only receive short letters, or none
at all, from the Shell Committee, advising them that all contracts had
been let. At the same time contracts were being continually given
to the favored ones.

A case which we reported in our issue of December Ist was a
typical one. A man who was in the specialty business in a western
Ontario town, got a contract for 25,000 boxes. He had no plant, he
had the shooks manufactured for him by another party. He nailed

_ the shooks together, delivered them to the Shell Committee and claims
to have made a profit of $5,000. In the first place this man had wanted
a contract for manufacturing a part of the shell. He was turned
down at first, but subsequently was given a contract for shell boxes.

In our issue of December 15th we referred to a case at Niagara

Falls, Ont. A shipping clerk in the Dominion Suspender and Necktie

Company at that place, who had no experience in the woodworking

business, secured a contract for the production of shell boxes. He

had no plant, but erected a small one, bought some machinery and

made the boxes. Subsequently he received another contract for a

large quantity of boxes, although other firms in the same town and
_ elsewhere throughout Ontario were being told that, for the time being,
there were no new contracts to be given.

In our issue of January 15th we reported a case at Fenelon Falls,
Ont., located in the constituency represented by the Minister of
Militia. In this case we were informed that C. W. Burgoyne secured
a contract for 5,000 shell boxes. Burgoyne is in partnership with his
father in a general store business. He made over the contract to
Alfred Tiers, of Fenelon Falls, who conducts a planing mill business
there. Subsequently a partnership was formed between C. W. Bur-
goyne and Tiers under the name of C. W. Burgoyne and Company,
and this firm secured another contract for 25,000 boxes. '

_ We have not sought to dig up these stories. They have come
to us unasked, from lumbermen and woodworkers in many parts of

the country. We have not had the time to search for the evidence in
more than a few cases, but each case that we have enquired into has —
been a clear one of a contract being improperly let. There have been ee
no blind trails so far. We have heard of many other cases which we
have not followed up, because our time is occupied too fully in other
directions. We have little doubt, however, that other cases we have __
heard of would be shown, by an investigation, to be equally improper.

None of these stories have been contradicted. The Government
must know that contradiction is impossible. In the face of this and —

of many worse charges which have been made regarding the lettir 4
of contracts for shells, the Government tells us that there is les
foundation for a demand for an investigation than there ever was in
connection with any similar demand made in Parliament. +
We think we have gone quite far enough in our disclosures :
garding shell box contracts to show that there is ample ground f
thorough investigation. The Government wants the public to
otherwise, and has made up its mind to stave off the investig
if possible. Our disclosures have been so thorough and defini
it would be futile to try to reinforce them with others. We n
leave the matter alone for the time being, but so soon as the Gov

ment becomes aware of its bounden duty in regard to this matter 1
will be ready to go into the matter as much further as necessary

Canadian Firms Likely to Get Portable House Tras

The history of the year 1915 so far as the lumber trade of Can-

ada is concerned was dominated and controlled almost entirely by
} the war situation. At the beginning of the year, trade was very
slow. The country had scarcely been able to get its bearings, from
a commercial and industrial point of view, during the five “months
which had elapsed since the opening of the war. ‘Lumber producers
were in a quandry regarding their woods operations. Banks had
vd iscouraged extensive cutting of timber and numbers of the smaller
‘operators were thus kept out of the ranks of the producers. Firms
that were in a position to finance ‘their own operations, however, in
any cases foresaw that before many months the war would create
-an abnormal demand for all kinds of timber and for a great many
products of wood. They therefore, in many cases, went into the
ds on a fairly extensive scale. They were of course justified
by events later in the year.

Confidence Revived

‘For the first few months of the year lumber trade conditions
were unquestionably slow. Shortly after the opening of spring
however, there appeared to be a revival of confidence which spread
throughout Canada. The improvement was due almost entirely to
7 the ‘great quantity of money coming into Canada in payment for
_ munitions of war and military supplies required by the Allied Gov-
- ernments. This condition continued until the fall and by that time
the amount of money put into circulation throughout Canada had
By ccectrad a much better industrial situation. With the arrival of fall

ere was added to the improvement caused by war orders a greatly
nereased feeling of confidence resulting from the abnormal crops
_ which were then assured to Canada.

Lacs. = “Jn: the beginning of the year, prices of lumber and timber were
low and they continued so for some months.
nt which commenced in the spring was gradual and slight until
hiddle of the fall. Then there came a great wave of optimism
owing out of the conditions above referred to and prices com-
enced to rise rapidly. Those lines of lumber which were in special
and for military purposes, and especially the lines used for the
uction of shell boxes led in the advance. Chief among these
ruce and hardwoods, particularly birch. These lines became
ce on account of the shell box consumption that substitution
other lines became necessary and the price improvement then be-
more general.

Throughout the year the market for pine has been quiet. Today
ere is a feeling that pine prices will improve. This is expected as
esult of the removal of the competition of yellow pine. Yellow

1e at the beginning of the year, was, like every other line of lumber
—@ periencing a very quiet market. On account of the large produc-
¥ capacity of the south and the comparatively short ocean voyage
een the southern shipping ports and Great Britain and France
allies turned first of all to that source of supply and flooded it in
e late summer and early fall with such abnormal orders that the
ce of yellow pine commenced to soar. Prices, however, were not
ng considered by the allies. What they wanted was material
when they found the production of the south was not sufficient
eir imperative wants they went to the markets of the Pacific
t. They are today purchasing enormous quantities on that
t, and trade in the United States has therefore felt the stimulus
ie war demand from east to west.

Spruce Benefiting from Export Demand

Eastern Canada, following upon the rise in the price of yellow
is expected that white pine may soon be in fair demand. So
eastern Canada is concerned, however, the export business dur-
e past year has been to a very great extent confined to spruce
rch. Spruce, being a cheaper wood than pine and nearer the
of shipment has been purchased in great quantities. The diffi-
securing supplies of timber and lumber from the customary
ces in Europe has also been a strong factor in directing the de-
d towards spruce from Eastern Gigada. In connection eonith the

Biraber Trade Conditions During 1915

A Year Dominated By the War—Sluggish at the Outset—Lively at the End
—Tonnage Problem Unsolved

An interesting factor in this situation has been the reappearance
of sailing vessels in the Trans-Atlantic trade. Many years ago these
vessels were forced out of the trans-Atlantic business by steam ves-
sels and they had been confined to the coasting trade. When so
many steam vessels were commandeered by the Government for mil-
itary transport purposes, the sailing vessels again took a hand in the
trans-Atlantic trade and they have been the means of relieving the
situation to a very great extent. At present, the outlook in connec-
tion with ocean tonnage is absolutely dark. The probabilities are
that we shall have to struggle along throughout 1916 as we have dur-
ng 1915 and that relief can only be expected with the end of the war.
A few indications of an encouraging nature have appeared such as a
report that the British Government has given the ship building com-
panies permission to take on work in the construction of merchant
vessels. To how great an extent this will be done, however, and
how soon it can bring about any relief are matters of very great un-
certainty.

In connection with the British Columbia export trade a very en-
couraging feature has recently been developed with the assistance of
the British Columbia government. A plan is now being worked out
for the construction of a considerable number of four-masted schoon-
ers with auxiliary Deisel engine equipment, having a capacity of from
two to three million feet of lumber each. - We understand that the
initial intention is to construct about 30 of these vessels, and more at
a later date as conditions warrant. These would assist British
Columbia greatly in the marketing of her export stocks, and would
enable the coast mills to devote their attention almost exclusively to
the export trade, thus removing their competition from the prairie
province trade and leaving it more completely in the hands of the
mountain mills.

Effect of Panama Canal Blockade

In this connection it is important to note the situation regarding
the Panama canal. This important connection between the Pacific
and the Atlantic has been blocked for some months by land slides and
up to date we have no definite assurance as to how soon it will again
be opened for traffic. This has been a great blow to the B. C. lumber
export trade. Large orders for export to Great Britain were re-
ceived and others were expected. These have been delayed and it is
questionable whether they can now be carried out. Only with the
final opening of the canal will B. C. be able to compete successfully
in the markets of Great Britain and Europe, and also in the markets
of the Eastern States. During the short time the Panama Canal was
open to traffic British Columbia had made remarkable advance in
establishing its products in the markets of the Eastern States. It
is certain that the renewal of traffic by this route will make British
Columbia lumber and timber one of the most important factors in
the eastern markets.

In the local markets throughout Canada, the year 1915 was a quiet
one, with a fair amount of improvement during the last few months

in the eastern parts of Canada and greater improvement in the west.»

The local trade situation in Eastern Canada, however, is not en-
couraging. Building operations almost ceased during 1915, parti-
cularly in the large cities. In the country districts a fair amount of
building followed the harvesting of the large crops. The beneficiai
effect of the big crops was felt to the greatest extent in the prairies
and British Columbia. Prairie farmers had been struggling along
for several years without improving their buildings or adding to their
equipment for the production of stock and implements. 1915 crops
were so great that the farmers found themselves obliged to do a large
amount of building. The railroad companies were not able to re-
move more than a small percentage of the crop before weather condi-
tions made it necessary to give the balance protection. This situa-
tion was foreseen at an early date. Many egranaries were constructed
and barns and implement sheds were put up, all being constructed
almost entirely of lumber. Moreover, the farmers, as soon as they
commenced to receive returns for their grain began to improve their
dwellings or to build new ones. The prairie farmers have lived, to
a great extent, during the past in a class of buildings notable more
for giving shelter and sleeping accomodation than for comforts or
luxuries. They are now, in many cases, putting up buildings of
quite an expensive class and the indications are that during 1916 the
demand from the prairies will continue good. Throughout Western
Canada, in fact, the result of 1915 trade is most encouraging and the

people of western Canada are all optimistic regarding the outlook for
1916. .

The production of lumber in the Georgian Bay and Northern
- Ontario districts during 1915 showed a decrease of 74,885,663 feet
b. m. as compared with the production during 1914. The total pro-
duction for 1915, as shown by reports to the Canada Lumberman,
amounted to 725,526,840 feet. The 1914 production shown by the
same reports amounted to 800,412,503 feet b. m. This decrease was
due in a large measure to the fact that when operators were going
into the woods in the fall of 1914 the war situation was such that
nearly everyone was in the dark regarding the trade outlook for 1915.
Moreover the banks were discouraging operations and those who
operated on a large scale were ones who were able to finance their
undertakings extensively by themselves.
The production of lath in Ontario according to the same reports

» amounted during 1915 to 252,154,530 pieces as compared with
246,877,250 pieces during 1914. The shingle production was 41 i295,

pieces during 1915 as compared with 43,993,570 pieces duirng 1914,

ttawa Valley Lumber Production

~ Output of Lumber, Lath and Shingles all Show Increases—
- 1915 Trade Better than 1914 — Outlook Good

a Ottawa, January 22nd; (Special to the Canada Lumberman ) :—
_ Notwithstanding conditions which, throughout the year, have not been
any too: favorable, the lumber cut in the Ottawa Valley in 1915 ex-
ceeded by more than seventeen million feet the total cut for 1914.
Although several firms have not operated their mills, the majority
have done remarkably welk The total output in the Ottawa Valley
for 1915 was 476,230,108 feet, as compared with 455,615,783 feet in
14. The lath and shingle ‘production has also been surprisingly
‘ge in comparison with last year and the season before. The lath
put in 1915 was 81,490,300 pieces; in 1914, 73,833,400; and in 1913,
7,075, whilst in 1915 the shingle production amounted to 43,618,-
pieces, against 34,550,000 pieces in 1914.
_ Lumbermen generally are quite satisfied with their cut. At the
vinning of last year the prospects for a large production were, to
he least, very poor. The season opened. up with an exceedingly
‘market, both in the domestic and export trade. Dull business
nued for at least the first six months of the year, after which
ime the outlook commenced to appear brighter. Orders began to
in, keeping the trade much busier, and there was a marked im-
ement, until December last, at which time a falling off in trade
always expected until the middle of the first month in the new year.
In comparing the trade of 1914 with that of 1915, lumbermen
have no hesitation in declaring that on the whole the last year
een much better. Prices throughout the year remained very
y, the dealers preferring to retain “their stock rather than dispose
at reductions, so often asked for. There was a strong move-
ment in spruce and birch, to a great extent due to the demands of
ra the government for shell boxes, and many large orders for these lines
filled for points in the United States. There has been a great
ase in business with England, and exporting to other parts of
, owing to the scarcity of tonnage, and possibly, but only inci-
to the heavy insurance rates prevailing.
ere is no optimism lacking in the expressed opinions of the
_ Teading lumbermen in the Ottawa Valley, over the trade outlook for
the coming. year. They are quite confident that business will be
"bette tter than even last year, or since the commencement of the war.
Should the war terminate by any chance in 1916, it is predicted there
d be an abnormal business for lumber trade with Great Britain
allies. However, if this is not to be the case, it would seem
thing can be done towards improving the shipping facilities,
eign exports will continue to be carried on on a small scale.
larger orders, however, than have been received here during the
ear, will be placed in Canada during 1916 from the United States.
\s is indicated by the list attached, the lumbermen in the vicinity
ttawa have done remarkably well. Although only 37,000,000 feet
yer was cut in 1914 by the J. R. Booth plant, the same firm
1915 produced 80,000,000 feet. McLachlin Brothers, Arnprior,
Ko so well as in 1914, and the only other firms who did not
much as a year ago, were those of Gilmour and Hughson, Hull:
Brothers, of Braeside, and the Dennis Canadian Company,
sy, Ont. The other firms at least reached their last year’s out-
exceeded it. The log output will be greater this winter by
-cent., declare some manufacturers, and possibly greater, pro-
the weather is good for drawing.

Trade Conditions as seen by a Toronto Wholesaler

When comparison is made with the conditions prevailing a year
ago there is good reason for hopefulness regarding the future.
A year ago manufacturers and wholesalers were carrying all of

. the 1914 purchases and part of their 1913 stock also.
‘ Few dealers, if any, were doing enough business to cover ex-

penses and it is safe to say that the majority were losing money both
through: loss of business and loss of profit.

The building trade in the cities has been almost dormant during

? 1915. ;

The statement of permits issued by the Toronto City architect’s

. office shows a tremendous falling off, when compared with previous

out for proposed erections that may be held over for months, or may
not be proceeded with at all. In the towns and villages there was
some building in the spring of 1915, but the fall trade was, speaking
: generally, a disappointment. ;

The demand for special sizes and kinds of lumber for shell boxes
gave a stimulus to business during the autumn months, and some
lines of white pine and spruce have been pretty well taken out of the
market. aaa

The box factories have been fairly busy and were able to stock
up for their requirements at comparatively low prices.

The contractors for shell boxes have now completed their orders
and some complaints are being made that deliveries are being held up

~ because shell contractors are behind with their work.

No new contracts have been allotted as yet, although tenders
were called for and have been in the hands of the Imperial Muntions
Board for some time.

Stocks of hemlock and spruce are lighter than usual in spite of
the limited demand, and any approximation to normal trade conditions
would no doubt bring an advance in price. But at present the trade
is inactive, and all that can be said is that sellers are not disposed to
make concessions for the sake of forcing business.

The yellow pine manufacturers have advanced prices on all
grades, and this has shut off the importation of this lumber into
Ontario. Loe

U. S. hemlock manufacturers have also advanced prices and no
hemlock is now being imported. |

The war tax of 7% per cent. has also tended to restrict the im-

- portation of hemlock and yellow pine.

The supply of eastérn spruce, which used to reach Ontario, has
been largely cut off by the export trade with the United, Kingdom.
White pine stocks are not heavy and some large sales have been

made from Georgian Bay and North Shore points to the United

States.

It is reported that the stocks being taken out in Ontario east of
Lake Superior will be lighter than usual.

As to the future there does not seem to be much warrant for ex-
pecting any marked activity in Ontario trade, but the prospects for
improvement in the Eastern States are good, and it is to this market
we must look for business during the coming year.

There is a decided improvement in the way of inquiries, from the
U. S. and as the yards and factories have been going short of stock,
it is reasonable to expect larger demand and better prices during the
coming year.

* Expect Continued Activity During 1916

” Editor Canada Lumberman:— Pembroke, Ont., January 8th.
We are pleased to report a vigorous trade enlivenment during the past
fall with a plentiful supply of shipping orders on hand at the present time.
As compared with previous years, conditions prevailing now are abnormal
on account of the demand for suitable lumber for carriers for munitions of
every description. We think the present situation will continue during the
coming season, and anticipate an increase in the price of all grades of lumber
| with the possible exception of “good.”

February 1, 1916

‘? Montreal, Jan. 25.—(Special to The Canada Lumberman) :—The
position of the Montreal lumber trade during the past year may be
summed up in a few sentences: Poor local business, except for shell
box lumber, a famine in dry descriptions of the latter, a fairly good
demand from the United States, and a substantial increase in ship-
ments to the United Kingdom. Taking the situation as a whole,
there was a distinct improvement on 1914. The opening months were
‘by no means satisfactory, but towards the end of the year there was
~ apartial revival. As in the previous year, the country districts were
~ not affected in the same degree as the city, as there was a fair amount
of building, chiefly, however, of churches and schools.
The heavy demand for lumber for shell boxes was the redeeming
eaturte of the year. The stringency of the Government require-
ents involved the consumption of large quantities of 9 in. and 10 in.
- dry stock, and this became so scarce that the Shell Committee were
- forced to amend the specifications, allowing the sides and tops to be
made in two or three pieces. Even with this alteration, it became
ceedingly difficult to secure the requisite dry stock, particularly of
birch. Inquiries for lumber came from all parts of Ontario and
-_ Quebee, and representatives of United States firms making shell boxes
for allied Governments visited Montreal with the object of buying
box lumber. Some of this came from New Brunswick. The natural
result of this demand was a strong advance in prices of such lumber
as was suitable. Montreal has -several factories, including some
hitherto devoted_chiefly to furniture and pianos, turning out shell
_ boxes, and many woodworking firms, such as those making sash and
doors and boxes, complained that it was impossible to get orders from
__ the Shell Committee while others with no connection with the lumber
or woodworking industries were able to secure very substantial con-
tracts. For a time there was great pressure to produce boxes as fast
as possible, involving night and day shifts, but lately production was
ahead of deliveries, and some of the factories were closed for a short
‘ ters period.
q Business with the United States was satisfactory, and one large
__ manufacturer substantially increased the quota of spruce sent to New
York. The advance in the price of southern pine helped the spruce
= market, as it not only prevented the dumping of low grades in Canada.
but tended to promote buying, by United States firms, of Canadian
__- §Pruce in preference to southern pine. The closing of the Panama
_ Canal by heavy earth slides was another cause of the advance in
values, by restricting the shipments of comparatively low priced
Pacific Coast fir to the eastern markets.
er There was only a small business in hard woods, the poor building
_ trade affecting this branch of the lumber industry.

? t How Local Trade Was Affected

aw “ In the absence of important building schemes and with only a
_ limited number of new houses and apartments, local business was
quiet, with a slight improvement at the end of the year. The build-
‘ing permits tell the tale of the slump in the contracting field—
511.221 as against $17,394,244 in the preceding twelve months, and
$ 7,297 in 1913. Fortunately the shell box orders counter-
b; anced this condition to a certain extent. Wholesalers state that
retail yards are practically bare of stock, owing to the fact that
merchants drew principally on the stocks which were in hand at the
‘commencement of the year. In consequence buying was, almost
ughout 1915, of a hand to mouth character, retailers naturally
g the lumber in stock before ordering further supplies. It looks
efore as if retailers will soon have to order on a fairly good scale,
ough it is not to be expected that building will be any better than
the Past year—unless war conditions undergo.a radical change.
Bet There were two or three rather important failures during 1915,

put collections were better than in 1914.

ry ’
_If exception be made of those with shell box orders, firms engaged

er-burdened with orders. The first class named is mainly
pendent upon construction, and as 1915 was a lean vear in this re-
td, it suffered accordingly. ‘A few orders came in from the Prov-
of Quebec, where building was comparatively active. owing to
e results obtained from good harvests and remunerative prices,
f some contracts left over from 1914 enabled two or three firms
sp their employees busy during the early part of the year. With
1 rade picking up towards the end of 1915 box makers’ busi-
tly revived, and this is also true of the piano trade. Furni-

cers, who specialise in high-class, production, found orders

very difficult to secure, as people restricted their expenditures, as a
rule, to cheaper articles. It will be noted that there was, in wood-
working industries, a distinct tendency to improvement in the fall,
and from the early indications of the present year, it looks as if 1916
will prove more satisfactory than the period which has just closed.

Brighter Outlook for Timber

During the greater part of the year the timber department was
slow. Important works, like harbors, dams, and railroad construc-
tion were comparatively few, owing to the disinclination of the Gov-
ernments, various companies, and financiers to expend large sums of
money under the conditions prevailing. Towards the end of the
year, however, there was an improvement, and some fairly good
orders were placed. A more confident feeling then commenced: to
prevail. Mr: P. D. Gordon, of Messrs. Mason, Gordon and Com-
pany, Montreal, is of opinion that the worst phase of the slump is over
and that we can look forward to a much better period during the
current year. The large amount of money which is being poured into
the country in payment for war contracts must have a beneficial
effect upon Canadian industry, in which nearly all sections will parti-
cipate, and indeed the effects of this outlay are already being felt.
While the orders for timber are not so extensive, in the matter of
amount, as they formerly were, it is satisfactory to know that they are
increasing in volume. In the west, the position has brightened con-
siderably; the demand for lumber has expanded, and prices have
advanced from the very low level which followed the collapse on the
coast. The orders for car stock constitute an important factor in this
improvement. It is probable that the local demand for lumber for
building will not be very good, but it will be more than compensated
for by the business which will undoubtedly be placed for industrial
and railway purposes.

Exports to United Kingdom Increase

Two features characterized the export section—an enormous rise
in freight rates and a large increase in the lumber shipped. The
year 1914 was a difficult one for shippers, but 1915 was an even more
trying period, owing to the high freights, uncertainty of cargo space
and general delays. The following gives the details of the ship-

The season commenced in very slow fashion, and it looked as if
there would be a decline from the poor total of 1914. Space was
limited, and in addition there was at first a certain amount’ of per-
plexity as to the course of British markets. As the available ton-
nage became greater owing to the Government releasing transports
for war work, thus relieving the liners, shipments of lumber gradu-
ally increased, and in July and August very large quantities of lumber
were sent to the United Kingdom. In the fall, there was a rush to
export food stuffs and commodities required by the Government, and
in consequence there was little or no room for lumber on the regular
liners, which, in normal times, carry the great bulk of lumber. The
season therefore closed at an unusually early date. Throughout the
year exporters were never sure as to the space available, for the Gov-
ernment had the first claim on the vessels, and a firm would some-
times find that. at the last moment, the space arranged for was com-
mandeered by the Government. This meant expense for demurrage
and also additional trouble. The utilization of a number of lake boats

_ and the chartering of a few tramp steamers helped the situation, but

it is certain that the total exports would have considerably increased
had more vessels used the St. Lawrence route.

The freight situation was an unpleasant surprise to a number of

the old established firms. They had no idea that prices would take
such an abnormal rise, going from about 100s. standard at the be-
ginning of the season to 200s. in the fall, the highest known at the
port for many years. There was a slight check to the advance when
grain shipments fell off, but this was not for long. [he Bennett
Lumber Company, a new comer in this branch of the trade, was for-
tunate enough to book a large amount of space at the smaller rates
ruling in the first part of the season, and of course reaped the benefit
of their policy.

The advance of 35,113,623 feet brings the total up to just over
the 1913 level. It is shared in by all the firms with two exceptions,
and is due to the increased demand for spruce and birch, much of this
for Government account, and for shell box making. The call for
spruce was especially good, while the gain in birch may be judged by
the fact that Mr. E. M. Nicholson, who specializes in this wood, has
increased his exports nearly three fold, and now takes rank as the
second largest shipper of lumber from the port. The whole of the
firm’s increase was not in birch, spruce forming a factor in the larger
shipments. The demand for hardwoods, other than birch, was very
satisfactory. The pine market was the disappointing feature, the
exports of Messrs. Watson & Todd, Limited, the chief exporters of
this class of lumber and the largest shippers of the port, falling off
by nearly two and three quarter million feet. The amount of lumber,
especially spruce, cut for the British market last season was unusually
large, some manufacturers laying themselves out for this branch and
reducing their production .for domestic and United States require-
ments.

The outlook for next session ‘is thesmerest guesswork. The
duration-of the war is the great factor, it will determine the extent of
the demand and also the course of freight rates. Should the conflict
continue one must not look for lower rates, and the probability is that
the demand for spruce and birch will be as great as ever.

Pulp and Paper Business Below Normal

The past year was below normal so far as the pulp and paper
business were concerned. Some of the mills did exceptionally well,
but others did not come up to expectations. The closing months
generally showed an improvement over the earlier period, and the cur-
rent year promises to be excellent, notwithstanding that the prices of
most raw materials have risen considerably ; this is notably so in the
case of sulphur, bleaching powder, alum, caustic soda, china clay,
fillers and coloring matters.

Ground wood was a slow market. Canadian mills are dependent
for the sale of a large amount of their product upon United States
customers, and if the mills over the border have sufficient high water
to grind their own wood the demand for Canadian ground wood is
naturally affected. The United States mills grind a surplus during
periods of high water to provide against low water periods. Years
in which the water is below normal involve a scarcity of pulp, with
the necessity of buying largely in Canada. Years in which the water
is normal involve a diminution of purchases on this side. Last year
the conditions were favorable in the United States. Stocks there,
however, are being gradually depleted, and it is likely that the market
here will advance until the spring. Canadian stocks on hand showed
a considerable diminution during the last two months of the year.

For the first eight months sulphite was very dull, owing to the
fact that Canadian and United States book. and writing paper mills
were running only 70 per cent. of full capacity. An exception was
the newsprint mills, which generally ran fully all the year round. The
small production of paper naturally restricted the orders for sulphite.
In the fall there was a pronounced revival in the demand, owing to
the better conditions in the paper trade, and also to the lessened im-
The latter re-
sulted in a more active requirement from the United States, prices
advancing very considerably. One cause of the shortage in Euro-
pean pulp was, it is said, that Germany used sulphite fibre for am-
munition purposes in place of cotton, the supplies of which have been
cut off. Germany has purchased enormous quantities of sulphite from
Sweden, and has entered into contracts for a very large amount to be
delivered during the current year. paying very stiff prices for the pulp
The diversion of the product to Germany is a most important

factor in the situation, and until the war ends there is no likelihood of
_ the position being altered. | Germany is now an importer instead of
an exporter. The costs of lumber. coal, labor, sulphur, etc.. have
also gone up in Norway and Sweden, and this, together with the
scarcity of pulp and the difficulty in getting ships, has resulted in the
advanced prices. As an illustration of the higher values, it may be
noted that bleached sulphite in England is’ worth about £21. as
against £10 three years ago. A considerable quantity of Canadian
unbleached sulphite which would have gone to the United States in
normal times found a market in Great Britain and France during the
ae year. Ordinarily, the United States is the best market for our
pulp.

the matter of new pulp and paper mills. We have been adding to
our plants at a pretty good rate, and it would appear as if there is not
likely to be any important additions for some time to come. Some of
the enterprises have proved excellent propositions, but in others the
introduction of an abundance of watered capital has proved a great
handicap to the companies. In 1915 the St. Lawrence Pulp and
Lumber Corporation, Chandler, P. Q., commenced to manufacture —
unbleached sulphite, the capacity being 100 tons per day; while the
Bathurst Lumber Company, Bathurst, N. B., came on the market
with 50 tons per day of the same'class of pulp. During the month of
February this company will bleach its sulphite. The Riordon Pulp
and Paper Company intend, at their Merriton, Ont., plant, to in ta

machinery for an electrolytic bleaching system in order to conver
their unbleached sulphite into bleached sulphite. The plant will, i
is expected, be ready on June 1st next. The Union Bag and

Quebec Trade Conditions During 1914

annual review of business conditions, has the following to say
ing the lumber business: “Lumber operations were carried on 4

decrease is chargeable to the peeled and rossed wood exports, the
latter declining by about $100,000 and the peeled by $405,544, a de-
cline in both, which was only partly counterbalanced by the increase
in the rough pulpwood exports, which show an increase of nearly a
hundred thousand dollars.

It is too early to assign a reason for this decline in wood exports,
all of which have always gone to the United States, but it may be
assumed, that the great increase in paper manufacturing in this dis-
trict may account for the decreased exportation of the raw wood
material.

The most gratifying conclusion to be drawn from the above
figures to the people of this district and the Province of Quebec as
a whole, must be, that this section of the Dominion is fast becoming
one of the great paper manufacturing districts of the world. In
1910, only five years ago, this class of exports represented a value of
only $173,561,, while in the past year they aggregate $3,591,811. The
exports of paper from this district thus constituted nearly one-third of
the total exports, while those comprising all of the products of the
et exceeded 85 per cent. of the total exports from this district in

Such development of the industries of this province based on its
forest resources, should bring home to its people the great need of
forest protection, and re-forestation, where possible, to ensure the
continued prosperity of its most important industry.

Banking on Continued Improvement
Editor Canada Lumberman:— . East Angus, P. Q., January 20th.
We are of the opinion that the lumber business is in a much more pros-
perous and healthy condition than it has been for some time. Our entire cut for
last year has been sold and is now being shipped out as fast as we can secure
the cars, and we are also of the opinion that the lumber trade will continue
to improve over the coming year. As we do not make any sales ahead, tak-
ing chances with the market, we anticipate a very substantial increase in
prices in the near future-—Brompton Pulp and Paper Company.

The outlook is better than it was at this time last year. No doubt the

New Brunswick Trade During 1915

Remarkable Price Fluctuations and Uncertainties in
Demand Handicapped Manufacturers

St. John, N. B., Jan. 21st—(Special to The Canada Lumberman)
—The year just gone by has been the strongest year in the lumber
trade for many years. Conditions unprecedented, caused by the
war, were arising not only month by month, but day by day. In
the first part of the year, English buyers were out to pay any price
asked by manufacturers, and sales of English deals were made on a
basis of about $19 to $19.50 per M. on wharves at St. John. In fact
even higher prices were paid to some manufacturers on the North
Shore of New Brunswick, one concern having, it is said, received $21
per M. right through for their cut of deals for 1915, the highest price
ever paid for deals. Stocks on the yards were light, both at ship-
ping and at receiving centres. Consumption in England was beyond
normal as the admiralty were taking anything they could get. All
through the winter these conditions prevailed, but when spring came
the whole bottom seemed to drop out of buying and deals were a
drug on the market. The trouble was not because of no sale for
stocks but for want of bottoms to carry cargoes. Freight through
the winter had advanced from 100 shillings to 175 shillings by
spring, with no tonnage even at that offer. The British and other
foreign governments allied themselves, and, when they wanted car-
goes, sent out their own requisitioned vesséls, but outsiders stood a
pretty small chance of getting anything at any price. Hence, buy-
ers became frightened and quit buying along in May and no sales
were made from St. John of deals until December. Any persons
who went to sell deals were told they were not wanted, or if they
were in financial difficulties and had to sell, a price was offered which
would not bring the cost of the log, let alone the cost of manufac-
turing. added. These conditions pertained through the season, and
when fall came, no one had the heart to go into the woods to cut logs,
as no inducement was offered to them in the way of a chance to sell.
Of course concerns who were well able to do their own financing and
a plants to take care of have gone to the woods, but on a reduced
scale.

During the whole season with the exception of the two last
months the American market was in a stagnant condition. Prices
were away off and sales were very hard to make, the base price at
Boston being from $21.50 to $22.50 all season, and parties who had
put on high priced logs would not get a new dollar for an old one.

Many mills did not turn a wheel, and those which did would
have been better idle. Along towards fall a sudden revival took
place, first in spruce boards, which all summer one could not give
away. ‘These advanced, following a sale of large quantities of
North Carolina roofers to the allies. This, coupled with the de-
mand for shell boxes, gave an impetus to spruce boards, running
prices from nothing up to $18 per M. today at the mills. Following
this came an advance in spruce dimensions from $22.50, until today
it stands at $27.50 to $28, Boston base price. How long this will
continue is hard to say, but if ever any business needed revival it is
the lumber business, as, during the last few years it has been ex-
tremely hard for mills doing an American business to show a profit.

Locally, conditions have been bad. Very little building has
been carried on and if any sales were made they had to be put
through at cut throat prices. All kinds of refuse and low grade
stocks were sold from $3 to $4 per M. less than a year ago. In fact
it was almost impossible to give refuse away at any price. Boards
were piling up all around with no chance to clear them off. as sheath-
ing and floorings of all kinds were selling, when one could make the
sale, at $4 to $5 per M. less than for a year previous.

British Columbia Fir was being sold at St. John for less than
one could afford to sell spruce. Today, while building conditions
have changed to no extent, stocks of boards and refuse are fast dis-
appearing, being purchased for foreign markets and by spring very
little of these stocks will be for sale, and unless something unforseen
arises, better prices should be had in the local market. B. C. Fir
has advanced $3 per M. during the last month and if it only con-
tinues to advance it should help our eastern pine and spruce.

Laths have held about the same all through the season, with
the exception of a slight drop during the summer months, being
worth today about $2.75 on wharves here.

Shingles remain in the same weak condition of a year ago, and
no outlook of a change, although in this section stocks are not heavy,
and very little cedar is being cut this winter.

; As to the outlook for 1916; never was it so hard to forecast as it
is today. While at the present moment the market shows a better
tone, it may not continue for any length of time. A much less cut
of logs and lumber is being made in this section than a year ago, but
that will have very little to do with the position as a whole. Should
the war end it is hard to say just what effect it would have upon the
lumber business, there are many economic conditions to be thought

and worked out and the person who can forecsay, donee v
hard to find, but it is to be hoped that 1916 may show a year su
lumbermen all over the country are looking for.

Expects Normal Cut on New Brunswick North Shore il

A number of recent reports from lumbermen on the North
of New Brunswick have indicated that the output of logs in that
trict during the present winter will not be more than 60 per cen
the normal output. One prominent lumberman, however, who t
had a long experience in this part of New Brunswick expresse
opinion that the cut this winter will be normal, and will reac
million feet. He also states that he expects 1916 to be a very pr
able year for the lumbermen of the North Shore. The E1
market he said, is good, but some shipments of lumber are
carried on in the Baltic in spite of the war. The chief dif
the present time is to secure tonnage, and, as a result of th
of vessels during the past year, more lumber is being carrie
winter than there was a year ago. ‘Lumber prices te
“are good. The weather conditions will not cut much of
there is nothing to prevent the season of 1916 being we

of sawn lumber on the Miramichi, thirty-five to forty in

There will be some curtailment in the cut this present
brought about by the uncertainty as to whether the buyers w

Everything Depending Upon Ocean Ton
Editor Canada Lumberman: South Nelson, N.B
The lumber business of the northern part of New Bru swicl
entirely in the manufacture of stock for the European market, pr
of Great Britain and Ireland, for which the class of logs w

cut of 1915 manufacturers received the highest prices (so far as we know)
‘ever paid for spruce in New Brunswick. These deals were all ‘sold-“f. 0. bij
buyers providing tonnage. This proved to be no easy task, as, owing to the
number of vessels being taken over for war purposes, freights advanced very
rapidly, for instance from 40 shillings to 42s. 6d. in normal times to 130
shillings and even, we understand, as high as 175 shillings per standard for
deals from Miramichi to English ports. Even at this excessive rate the
required vessels could not be procured. The result being that the buyers

were unable to remove their purchases and a large stock is being held over.

‘It is rather early to predict what will happen in 1916, owing to the difh-

_ culties in securing vessels, the large stock held in England or on this side,

and the general business uncertainties. Operators have been rather reluc-
tant about cutting stock during the present winter and it is generally conceded
that the stock available for manufacture in the spring of 1916 will be less than
usual.

So far, we have had a favorable winter, and this may have the effeet of
increasing the output somewhat. As to probable prices we are still con-
fronted with the freight problem, but if the lumber is required and the Baltic
ports still remain closed, we are the principal, if not the only, source for a
class of lumber which is very largely used and while perhaps we cannot look
for much advance we certainly feel prices should not fall below those of last
season, especially as the recent advance in prices in the United States will no
coubt, as already intimated, have its effect indirectly.

Tt was to be expected that great changes in business conditions

-oughout the world would be effected by the great war in Europe.
Such expectations have been fully realized, but in many cases the
esults are very different from those that were anticipated. Some
mmodities, such as cotton, have been declared contraband, and their
port has been prohibited under pain of forfeiture ; some goods which
were the exclusive products of one of the warring nations, are not to
be had at any price. J lour at one time showed a disposition to reach

__ward tendency of prices are those for which there is. no pressing

be expected in war time; and while some manufacturers have been
forced to shut down, the ‘loss has been much more than made up by
the activity prevailing in the new business of manufacturing muni-

a The lumber season of 1915 opened with exceptional promise for
the lumbermen of Nova Scotia. The practical closing of the Black
and Baltic Seas cut off a large portion of the usual lumber supply of
the British market, while the enormous increase in freight and in-
‘surance rates from other ports in northern Europe rendered shipments
om them almost prohibitory. In these conditions the British
mber buyers naturally turned to this side of the Atlantic, and in
ova Scotia and the other maritime provinces the prospects of a
ly prosperous season appeared to be excellent. The winter’s cut
d been large, the demand was strong and prices ruled high. Ap-
ently there was nothing to do but “take advantage of the golden
portunity. But just here a new and unexpected condition con-
fronted the lumber shippers. To reap the benefit of the great ad-
vance in prices it was desirable to get their deals to market as speedily
: 1 To do this successfully it became absolutely necessary
secure the required number, of ‘carriers but, unfortunately, the
eded carriers were not to be had except in ridiculously inadequate

eet by the purchase at very low prices of a number of English sail-
g ships and a few old steamers, but when the British government

d it necessary to commandeer British merchant steamers for war
oses, the fleets of neutral nations were found to be entirely in-
uate to meet the requirements of the world’s traffic.

Enter The Small Schooner

_ About the time when sailing ships ceased to be profitable the
upbuilders and ship owners of Nova Scotia commenced building a
of staunch little three masted schooners of from three hundred
> hundred tons register. These vessels found employment in
our lumber to the United States and to the West Indies, with
casional cargo to South America. In the early winter they
cargoes of potatoes to Cuba, and there they usually got

charters for further south, which kept them employed until the next
lumber season opened. This business was usually fairly profitable,
and some of the tern schooners acquired a reputation as money
makers. When the shipping season of 1915 opened and the scarcity
of bottoms became an undoubted fact, it was suggested that schooners
be used to supply the deficiency in carriers. The suggestion received
little favor at first, for it was contended by some who claimed to know
all about the matter that only square rigged vessels were fitted to
cross the Atlantic. Meanwhile the American market was dull, and
very few coasting charters were offered, so some of the schooner
owners who were also interested in lumber decided to find out what —
the schooners could do as ocean carriers. Accordingly a few cargoes
were shipped early in the season to test the matter, and, as the
schooners made good time and returned safely, the remaining vessels
of the same class were soon in commission as deal carriers. One
Parrsboro tern schooner, the Exilda, of 350 tons register, has made
something of a record since engaging in the new business. Since
sailing from Parrsboro on March 18th, 1915, she has discharged three
deal cargoes in England, and on the 11th of January she arrived at
Havre with her fourth cargo. All the schooners have done well, with
the exception of the L.C. Tower. This ‘fine Parrsboro vessel, of over
five hundred tons register was torpedoed near the English coast before
completing her first voyage. Her place will be filled next spring by
a vessel of about the same tonnage, built in the same yard and having
the same owners. It is not expected that sailing ships will be able
under normal conditions to compete with steam, but last season
proved that they are still useful in emergencies, and Nova Scotian
schooners hitherto regarded as practically a negligible quantity in
ocean traffic, have been able with the aid of Norwegian, Swedish and
Danish barks and a few small steamers of the same nationalities
to carry from this province to. the United Kingdom more deals than
were ever shipped in one season before.

Shipments Show an Increase

The total lumber shipments from Nova Scotia last year are esti-
mated at five hundred million superficial feet. The word “estimated”
is used advisedly, for it is practically impossible to obtain the exact
figures, and the most definite statement must be, to some extent, a
matter of estimation. The measurements of deals, boards and bat-
tens, may be obtained with sufficient accuracy, but in the case of some
other products classed under the general head of lumber, the cost of
ascertaining the exact dimensions would be much greater than any
advantage that could be derived from it. When the exports from one
country include, in addition to regular lines of lumber, such items
as piling, of varying lengths and sizes; maple logs, barrel shooks, boat
masts, flag poles, clothes line props, and pit timber it is evident that
it would be difficult to reduce the output to superficial feet. When
one mill turns out annually from three to four million dowels of
‘various widths and varying from twelve inches to forty-eight inches
in length it is reasonable to assume that the only way in ‘which the
quantity of lumber in the lot will be reached will be by estimation.
The estimates of last season’s shipments were probably inaccurate
and may have been wide of the mark, but it is pretty certain that the
deal shipments to Great Britain were larger than in any other sea-
son, and would have been still larger but for the scarcity of vessels.

The enormous increase in freight rates was another condition
arising from the war which, of course, had a marked effect upon the
lumber trade, and which could scarcely have been fully anticipated.
The freight on deals to England, which had been as low as twenty-
eight shillings per standard, “but which had gradually increased before
the war, naturally made a rapid advance when hostilities commenced.

34 CANADA

The rate had advanced to about seventy shillings per standard when
the season of 1915 opened, and it immediately began to soar. The

rate mounted with marvellous rapidity, and even the slump in prices -

in the British market did not arrest its upward course. At the end
of the year it had risen to the almost unbelievable height of two
hundred shillings and, apparently, the end is not yet in sight, for it
is reported that a vessel has been chartered to load at Halifax at two
hundred and twenty shillings. | Small wonder if shippers hesitate to
charter in advance at such rates, for it may well be doubted whether
next season’s prices in the British market will justily: paying such
exorbitant figures. The prevailing freight rates and their very
pronounced upward tendency are having the effect, as might be ex-
pected, of reducing this winter’s lumber cut.

Another condition created by the war, and one that affected the
jumber trade very materially, was the marked reduction in the rate of
sterling exchange. The value of the pound sterling was at one time
down to $4.50, and the average reduction in rates during the season

would probably amount to’ one dollar per thousand feet in the price |

of lumber. This, in some cases, would mean to the shipper the
difference between a fairly profitable transaction and actual loss,
and, combined with the increased cost of insurance and very heavy
war risks, caused a marked reduction in the net receipts. Exchange
with the West Indies was also extremely high, and, while it did not
prevent large lumber shipments to West Indian ports, will undoubt-
edly have an injurious effect upon next season's business unless some
guarantee can be had of more reasonable rates.

Outlook for 1916 Uncertain

The outlook for next season’s lumber trade is by no means clear.
The business has been so completely revolutionized by the new con-
ditions which have arisen that it is extremely difficult to make satis-
factory forecasts. The difficulty is increased and intensified by the
fact that some of the disturbing conditions are constantly changing
and new and important conditions are liable at any moment to arise.
Some operators will cut as much lumber this winter as in former
years, but others are as dissatisfied with the prospect that they will
largely reduce their output. Some well informed lumbermen esti-
mate that this winter’s cut will not be more than two-thirds of the
annual output of recent years. Assuming this estimate to be ap-
proximately correct it is yet possible that under favorable conditions
a big business may be done next season, for, in many parts of the
province, large stocks are being carried over.

The largest shippers in the Maritime provinces are George Mc-
Kean Company, Ltd., Malcolm McKay Company Ltd., and John E.
Moore Company Ltd. All three firms have their headquarters at
St. John, N. B., and all have agents in Nova Scotia. The George
McKean Company, shipping from Quebec as well as from the Mari-
time provinces, handled last season approximately two hundred mil-
lion feet of spruce, pine, hemlock and hardwood, nearly all of it going
to the British market. The John E. Moore Company did a much
larger business in Nova Scotia last year than ever before, and a large
part of the one hundred and twenty-five million feet, or more, shipped
from Halifax was handled by that firm.

Making pit props has long been a flourishing industry in the
vicinity of our coal mines, but it remained for the great war to
develop an export trade from Nova Scotia by causing a shortage in
the supply from the ports of northern Europe. A number of these
humble but important pieces of timber found a place in last season’s
shipments, and it is said that there will be a largely increased output
this winter. It would seem, however, that only an abnormal demand
and the consequent increase in price can make the British market for
pit props a profitable one for our lumbermen. With ante bellum
prices and a reasonable rate of freight we should be unable to com-
pete successfully with Newfoundland, which has cheaper labor and
an unlimited supply of suitable timber within easy reach of shipping.

One feature of the situation which perhaps deserves passing
notice is that nearly all the late shipments from this province went
to France instead of the United Kingdom. This is a new departure
in the Nova Scotia lumber trade, and if this new demand should con-
tinue, it may be assumed that it will be possible to repeat or continue
the unprecedented business of last season, even in the face of a con-
tinued scarcity of ships and excessive freight rates.

Editor Canada Lumberman: Wilkins Siding, Queens County. Jan. 8th.
The outlook for 1916 depends very largely upon securing a sufficient
number of vessels to move the stock needed in European markets. This
applies to the United States as well as to the Maritime Provinces, as car
competition from the Southern states dominates the New York and New Eng-
land markets when they are unable to ship across the water owing to scarcity
of vessels, and facing a shutdown, or selling at a “dumping” price in car lots.
The “dumping” price always gets the decision. Then the retail yards
are able to stock up at prices the near-by manufacturer cannot afford to meet.
Then Nova Scotia and New Brunswick commence shipping boards and ran-

sane work of the Commission put the roads out of action as consumers and
it is a well known fact that they are, (if given a chance), the largest con-
sumers in the country. Things looked very black indeed, and our country,
under present government, was dropping astern very fast in exports, in fact
had dropped from an excess of some six hundred millions exports over im-
ports to nearly that amount excess imports.

Then the war countries came to the rescue and orders by the hundred
million dollars poured in, changing again the excess exports and literally

throwing vast quantities of money here, for goods sold at fabulous profits.

The easy money and orders have at last had effect and general business has

improved and late in 1915 lumber began to advance very sharply and we have

placed on our books for United States market large orders for winter and

stimmer sawing at better than $28 base for frames, which frames were $22.50

to $23 in the summer of 1915. Mr. George VanDyke for some years before
his death predicted $30 frames. If he had lived to the spring of 1916 I am
beginning to think he would have seen his prophecy come true.

The war started us on the up swing and we are now a very large creditor
nation and it has given such an impulse that nothing can stop it this year, as
we have not only munition business to care for but the regular staple lines
are extremely busy and many new mills and additions are being built and
planned. P

A friend just back from abroad says: “Pay no attention to the sales end
at present. Get a good big stock of logs, as the foreign demand must have
it all’ When one considers the immense foreign demand not only for
regular lines but for consumption for soldiers’ huts and for use in the trenches
at the front, his ideas are perefctly sound.

. There is one change we may see as regards values and that is that 9 in.
may and will go the same value as 10 in. and the difference between wide or
9 in. and up and the 8 in. and under is to be more marked.
Even though the war should cease, and I see not the faintest chance of
- that happening at present, business in lumber it seems to me is bound to be
good for some time as so much of the destruction must be rebuilt as fast as
possible. The year 1916 certainly has nothing but sunshine ahead—F. B.

New England Trade Suffering Because of Embargo

Editor Canada Lumberman: Boston, Mass., January 21st.
There is no active business at the present time and nothing can be shipped
into New England now from Canada anyway on account of the embargo. This
includes nearly all points in New England. Nothing can be shipped from
west of the Hudson River or north of the Canadian border to B. & M. or
New York, New Haven & Hartford points, which includes practically the
whole of New England. As to how long this will last nobody seems to know
The railroads of the United States seem to have broken down. They do not
seem to be able to take care of the business offered them and the munition
business has taken up so much of their capacity that other business seems to
suffer. We are in hopes that the railroads will gradually improve their facili-
ties and that with spring weather things will go better. At present it is very
seriously handicapping business. We are inclined to think even after the pre-
sent embargo is declared off there will be so much stock rushed in that the
railroads will have to declare another one, so we look for intermittent ship-
ment of lumber and other things for some time to come. There will probably
be a short time when stock can be shipped and a time of embargo again, but
_ we are not given particular hopes that this embargo will be off for two or
three weeks, However, information is practically impossible to get in that

line —Shepard & Morse Lumber Company.

+ A Banker’s Review of the Lumber Trade

Mr. Edson L. Pease, general manager of the Royal Bank of Can-
ada in his annual review of the bank’s activities during 1915, dwelt
extensively with industrial and trade conditions throughout Canada.
In the course of his remarks he made frequent reference to conditions
in connection with the lumber trade and industry.

= In British Columbia, he said, lumber conditions were unsatisfac-
tory during 1915 and prices were low until late in the year. The
last two months however, had seen a distinct improvement in demand
= and price, particularly from the United States. Important orders had
been obtained from the British Admiralty. Exports of lumber for

i the nine months ended September 30th had amounted to 50,408,000
_ feet as compared with only 29,516,000 feet during the corresponding
-~ period in 1915. Only the lack of adequate shipping facilities had pre-
vented the further offsetting of the decline in the home demand for
~ lumber.

____In Ontario, lumbering operations had been less’ extensive than
_ for some years past and operators had not yet sufficient courage to
take out large stocks of logs. A shortage of men had brought wages
_ from the low level of the previous year quite up to the average. Build-
ing permits issued during 1915 in twelve of the principal centres in
Ontario showed a total of about one-third of those issued during 1914.
In Quebec, the lumber interests experienced poor results similar
those in the west, owing to the light demand from local markets
from the United States, and to the scarcity of shipping facilities

for export. The value of new buildings erected in Montreal during
the year showed a decrease of nearly 50 per cent

In the Maritime provinces, lumber operations had been conducted
on a larger scale than usual. Manufactured lumber shipped to the
British markets had been disposed of at maximum prices, and the
high freight rates had been borne by the importers, so that the results
were not seriously effected by the low prices prevailing until recently
in the American market. ;

In Newfoundland, more timber had been cut during 1915 than in
several preceding years, the demand being good and prices high.
The pit-prop industry had developed considerably and there was every
prospect of further profitable expansion. : ;

Shingle Men Report Better Trade

Canadian White Cedar Shingle Association Annual
Meeting—Outlook Good—Officers Elected

Angus McLean, Bathurst, N. B. W. F. Napier, Campbellton, N. B.

The annual meeting of the Canadian White Cedar Shingle Asso-
ciation was held at Bathurst, N. B., on January 5th. There was a
large and representative gathering from all the mills interested and
the annual sales, etc., for the past three years were gone over in detail.
This association succeeded the North Shore Shingle Association when
Price Bros. & Company, Limited, and Fraser Limited joined. Prac-
tically all the large interests in the white cedar shingle manufacture
are now members. :

The same directorate was re-elected and for the fourth year
Angus McLean, of Bathurst, N. B., was unanimously elected president.

A “sales and advertising board” was appointed as follows: A. C.
Morrison, of Price Bros. & Co., Ltd., Quebec; W. F. Napier, of the
Shives Lumber Co., Campbellton, N. B.; S. B. Bond, of the Bathurst
Lumber Co., Bathurst, N. B.; W. Matheson, of Fraser Limited, Fred-
ericton ; F. G. Wheaton, Canadian Sales Agent, Amherst, N. S.

It was also decided to maintain a representative for Ontario and
Quebec and the appointment was made of Mr. Alf. H. Gilham, 78 Pear-
son Ave., Toronto, who in future will call on the trade in this territory.

The discussion of trade conditions brought out the following facts:

The United States market has been improving steadily on “extras”
and “clears.” Of “extras” there is but a limited stock at any of the
mills, while the “clears” are practically all sold. :

In the lower grades from “2nd clears” down, all of which are
marketed largely in the Canadian market, there are dry stocks avail-
able of the 1915 cut for immediate and early spring shipment.

The sales in eastern Canada for the past three years have shown
but little difference. Ontario, on the other hand, fell off in 1915, but
present enquiries from that province show a better feeling and with
a representative on the ground there is no doubt there will be a sub-
stantial increase in the sale of white cedar shingles in that market.

As the merit of white cedar shingles is impressed on buyers the
demand is bound to grow. In the lower grades, that is, “2nd clears.”
“clear walls,” “specials” and “extra No. ls,” no such value can be
obtained in any patent roofing or wall covering. The life of white
cedar shingles is from twenty to thirty years, even in the lower grades,
and no complaint is ever made by the users in regard to leakage. The
outlook for 1916 in the United States market is excellent for white
cedar “extras” and “clears.”

The United States market for white cedar shingles improved
both in demand and price throughout last fall. The association is
looking for a heavy demand and high prices in that market next spring.

British Columbia Trade During 1915

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

eee | ere

February 1, 1916

Co-operation between government and industry promotes trade expansion—
Export trade reviving—Prairie trade improving
Written specially for The Canada Lumberman by Hon. W. R. Ross, Minister of Lands for B. C.

Review of 1915:—No previous period in the
history of the Province has so clearly demonstrated
the underlying strength of the lumbering industry
of British Columbia as the year which has just
closed. After six months of war following upon
one of the severest world-wide financial depressions
of recent times, the prospects of the industry at the
beginning of the year could hardly have been
worse. Large stocks of lumber were on hand; the
mills had been unable to collect on rail shipments
made the previous years, and financial pressure was
forcing further sales below cost of production. The
lack of shipping had reduced export from the
Coast to an insignificant proportion of the annual
cut. With the further continuance of the war the
prospects for 1915 were most discouraging. Many
mills were shut down and others were preparing to
do so.

It is a matter for congratulation that in the up-
shot the year proved better than had been expected.
Before the summer was over the export trade
showed some revival and kept a number of mills
and camps in operation which otherwise would
have had to shut down. In nine months, over
fifty million feet of lumber were exported as com-
pared with 38 million for the whole of the previous year. The total
for 1915 may be expected to double that for 1914. This result was
largely due to Government co-operation with the industry in securing
British Government business. By August, as a result of the large
crop then assured a decided change for the better in the prairie
lumber market took place. The prairie crop proved even larger than
was expected and later in the year further improvement took place
in the lumber business and better prices prevailed. The demand for
lumber for farm buildings which had been unduly curtailed by- the
force of circumstances in previous years revived. To assist this move-
ment to the full, pamphlets covering every form of building for the
prairie farm have been prepared by the Department of Lands and are
being widely advertised and distributed in the three prairie provinces.

A commercial service has been established on behalf of the
lumbering industry in three of the most important markets for British
Columbia products with experienced lumber commissioners at Lon-
don, England; Toronto and Regina. The investigations now being
carried on by Special Trade Commissioner H. R. MacMillan in other
overseas markets are yielding most valuable results. Exhibits have
been placed,at important trade centres throughout the world, publi-
cations dealing with our forest products have been issued and dis-
tributed to buyers, and recognition of the qualities and uses of British
Columbia woods is being obtained in every accessible market.

The outlook for 1916 is far different to that of a year ago.
Lumber prices are increasing in the export market, demand is
stronger and only the lack of tonnage prevents our mills from taking
full advantage of the situation. The attention now being devoted
to the shipping question by all interests concerned, will undoubtedly
result in relieving the present export situation. A prosperous busi-
ness in the prairie market is assured, while in Eastern Canada there
is an excellent prospect of developing an important market.

Administrative work :—Owing to the conditions which existed
throughout 1915, and the reduction of the forest service through en-
listment, the amount of field work during the past season was less
than in previous years.

Scaling :—The total cut from Provincial lands for
year, as shown by the official scale returns,
40,000,000 feet B.M. more than for 1914.
826 million of saw logs, 3,700,000 lineal feet of piling, 296,000 cords
of shingle bolts, fuel, pulp wood, posts, mining timbers, etc., and
515,000 hewn railway ties.

The cut of sawlogs and shingle bolts was much larger while the
cut of piling and ties was decidedly smaller than during the previous
year.

__ Timber Sales :—The sale of small tracts of Crown timber adjoin-
ing active logging operations, and of tracts to supply local demands,
by public tender for immediate logging, was very active, considering
the condition of the industry, the number of sales and the quantity
sold exceeding the figures for 1914. :

In all, 98 tracts covering 13,000 acres

amount of cedar and hemlock purchased greatly
exceeded the figures of the previous year.
Examinations :—The expired licenses, leases,
applications to purchase, pre-emptions and surveyed
Crown lands examined in order to determine their
legal classification, amounted in the aggregate to

B.M.

while 81,000 was classified as agricultural land.

Inspection of Logging Operations :—During the
year the field force made 669 inspections of ordinary
logging operations, and 268 inspections of hand
loggers operations.

Sawmills:—No new sawmills were erected dur-
ing the year, the annual capacity remaining in the
neighborhood of 2,500,000,000 feet. ;

Fire Protection :—In ,that part of the province
lying east of the Cascade Mountains, the tempera-
ture and rainfall were nearly normal and no diffh-
culty in controlling the forest fire situation was ex-
perienced during any part of the season. On the
Coast, however, the summer was one of the driest
and hottest known, and the fire hazard was serious
throughout the season. Fortunately there were no strong, dry winds,
and the losses were comparatively light. The force of fire wardens
was smaller than in 1914, numbering 177 long term guards and 25
patrolmen, as against 190 and 121 respectively of last year. The fire
permit system continued to be the greatest safeguard against the
spread of clearing fires. In all, the patrol force granted 9,515 per-
mits to clear 52,000 acres of land.
escaped control. Only 66 fires were set without first obtaining a
permit. During the year 1,031 uncontrolled fires were reported.
These fires burned over 244,000 acres and destroyed or damaged
187,000,000 feet of merchantable timber and $58,000 of logging equip-
ment and other property, the total damage from fire being estimated
at $166,000. In 1914 the number of fires amounted to 1,832, the
acreage burned to 355,000, the timber destroyed to 102,800,000; dam-
age to property $364,000.00; and the total damage to $436,000.00. The
greater loss of timber in a less dangerous season is due to the necessity
which existed for keeping fire fighting expenses to a minimum.

The cost of patrol in 1915 amounted to $160,000, of fire fighting
$22,000, a total of $182,000. In 1914 patrol cost $23,000, fighting
fires $144,000, a total of $372,000, just double the cost for 1915.

Permanent Improvements:—While war conditions prevented the
carrying out of the programme outlined in previous years, for per-
manent improvements, considerable work was accomplished by the
members of the regular force. With an expenditure of $5,000. Three
hundred miles of new trail were built, 36 miles of telephone line
erected, 12 cabins and 8 boats completed. The guards were able to
clear out 800 miles of trail and repair 250 miles of telephone line
without interference with their patrol duties.

Trade Extension Work:—The year 1915 marked the establish-

ment of a new line of work by the Forest Branch, that of development —

of markets for the forest products of the province. A preliminary
forest survey had shown that the annual timber crop which could be
harvested was four or five times the present cut.
mand, however, could not even take care of the present production.
The only possible relief for such a situation was by obtaining wider
markets for British Columbia forest products, and the government
entered vigorously upon such work as has already been outlined.
Toronto Branch Office :—Of chief interest to the lumber trade of
Eastern Canada is the location, as an essential part of the depart-
ment’s trade extension work, of a branch office at Toronto.

such importance as these, and besides, I feel that there is a responsi-

drift along unheeding these dangers, for they are lurking in our way,
and are just as certain in their destruction of our industrial welfare as
is the devilish ingeniosity of the wreckers of our ships of commerce.

proper, but may be considered more in the nature of an appendix to

are capable, if they are over-fed and not closely watched, of deranging
our whole system. These people call themselves brokers, but I think
_ there.should be a distinction of some kind, for there are some legitt-
* mate and honest brokers. (You see I do not go quite so far as the
man who said that “All men are liars.”). This other kind-of broker
may have a useful mission-to perform, but the ‘troublesome ones
should be closely watched, for they are capable of doing irreparable
harm, and over-shadowing all the good that they have ever done, and
perhaps bringing reproach upon the name of all engaged in the busi-
“ness, causing us to wish ourselves back to the good old days when
_ there were no appendixes.

observe the breaker rolling in upon them, and seek safety before it
struck them.

If all the mills in this province were to resume activity tomorrow,
sufficient men could not be found in the land to operate them. This
is a disagreeable truth, but it is a truth nevertheless. If the demand
for lumber should be such that all the mills resumed operation, how
many would be satisfied with operating one shift? If there are not
enough men.to operate the mills one shift, and part of the managers
should decide to operate two shifts, what effect would this have upon
the labor market both in the logging camps and in the mills when it is
hard to get good men for the camps even now? I look for a good
year’s business for 1916, but I pray for the nervousness which has
accompanied most of the transactions of the past year to discontinue.
Let us plan as far as it is possible to do so, to anticipate both our
needs and our difficulties. _ Nervousness is a disorganizer, so let us
drop it behind for a change. The nervous customer who puts off
ordering what he wants until he wants it in a rush, and then stands
and snaps his fingers until he gets it, is an intolerable nuisance. We
have read a great deal about frenzied finance, but nothing about
frenzied lumber operations. We want a Lawson to write a book on
this. There is plenty of matter. The man who is imbued with the
idea that working at high tension, or constantly trying to do that
which is bordering upon the impossible is conducive of best results in
lumber manufacturing, and will produce greater profits than the
thoughtful and carefully worked out policy applicable to good busi-
ness and suited to the conditions, is laboring under a mistaken idea of
things as they work out in practice. I maintain that when it is going
to cost you two dollars to get one, then you are better off without the
one, for to try to capture the one dollar under these circumstances
would be a symptom of frenzy, and let us hope and pray that for the
year 1916 no man worthy of being called a lumberman will develop
any such symptoms.

There are several dangers which stand in the way of our real
progress, and though they may be somewhat obscure now, they will
be real and alive just as soon-as the proper time comes. One of
these dangers will be bumped into in the same place as it has been
found in before. It is located in the-narrow channel of over-produc-
tion, and there does not seem to be any way to get by it without a
bump. We have struck it so often in the past three years that we —
are now beginning to look upon it as a natural consequence. “Oh,
but you just predicted great activity in the lumber business,” I think
I hear some one say. So I do, but it is not going to be an activity
that will take care of the whole product of the log. We are going into
strange markets, and most naturally expect strange demands to be
made upon us. This may not be the best kind of business, and in-
deed it is pretty well agreed that business that only takes care of part
of a stock is not the best kind, but then it is business, and it is up to
us as business men and careful guardians to be thankful for small
favors.

At the very best there are going to be certain grades and sizes
which will accumulate on our hands, but if we all own nervousness or
frenzy to seize hold of us and dictate our course, these undesirable
acumulations will grow twice as fast, because in our haste to get out
other sizes and lengths much stock will be sacrificed, or turned into
this accumulation, and it is right here that the congestion starts. We
begin to offer the broker inducements to move such stock, which in
our frenzy we have piled up in haste, but must of necessity move at
leisure, and pretty soon we find ourselves coming to the broker’s
terms on other stock in order to induce him to move some of the
accumulation, and we figure that-if we do run low on the good
selling stock we can if necessary run double shift for a while and
replenish it, quite forgetting, it would seem, that we are again doubl-
ing our accumulation of unsaleable stock, and doubling the oppor-
tunity for the broker to come back and set a still lower price on some-
thing more, always including some of the better stock, and so it goes.
It is an old story, and the man who has watched the game played
knows it, but what are we going to do to cure the evil? Whether
there is work for the scientist to discover something that will give us
more backbone, or whether we should go to the phrenologist to see
if we are all following the right pursuits, I am not certain, but of one
thing I am sure, and that is that nervousness and frenzy are twin
brothers, and they are both destroyers of profits and disorganizers of
system.

There has been a considerable demand from the other side of the
line for some time past, as all know, which in itself is not an unfavor-

able indication. We can hardly interpret this to mean that the mills

38 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

over there cannot supply those needs, but the correct interpretation is
more likely to be that the mills over there are standing firmer today
than we are, and business, being a part of human energy follows the
course of least resistence.

To see the way some people grab at low prices one would imagine
that they thought they were giving the industry a stimulant, and were
willing to make the sacrifice for the sake of performing a public
benefaction. The Lord said, “The poor ye shall always have with
you.” So this is a settled fact, that some of us must always remain
poor, but the unscrupulous “critter” we are not quite so sure about,
and we wonder if he is always to remain in our ranks. He goes to
the meetings, and he agrees to certain prices, always of course with a
string tied to his undertaking with which he can play, and through
which he can form a loop to get out if he wants to. This string may
be attached to a certain number of cars to load which he will be
allowed to accept business enough at the old price. As soon as this

edict goes forth the wily dealers, or brokers send in a long list of half

completed specifications, (the other being purposely left uncom-
pleted) and they ask the mills for their lowest figures. The mill man
who is playing with his string jumps at it, and offers a real nice price,
and then when the orders have been accepted they are sent forward
in their completed form, and this completion always adds something
to the difficulties of filling them. The weak-kneed brother who grabs
at this kind of business will never learn, and so long as he is allowed
a string to his undertaking he cannot be caught, for he has made
enough loops in his string that he can jump through them faster
than any one can follow him. If he ships a greater number of cars
than his string was attached to, of course they were old orders which
he had on his books for a long time, and which he was in duty bound,
as a man of reputation, to fill at the old rate. Were you ever there,
brother? If all men are prevaricators, and we have it on good auth-
ority that they are, I do not wish to impute that all lumbermen are
crooked or incapable. I know that such would not be supported by
facts, and facts are the strongest support that any claim can have.
Furthermore, it has not been my intention to deal in personalities in
this letter, nor to point an incriminating finger at any one. I have no
specific instances in mind to which I would point, and no other
ambition impells me to write as I have done and am doing, except a
wish to point out some of the weaknesses with which we are afflicted.
If any person in our province or out of it finds anything in'my remarks
that fits them, or that they can make profitable use of, they are wel-
come to it. It is written for the common good of all, and with the
hope that it will give offence to none.

And now let us pray that we may in future be delivered from the
tempter’s wiles so far that nothing may be offered to us that we
cannot grab ; that whatever we do grab may not work out to too great
a loss if we did not have time to figure it carefully, or to get par-
ticulars, for fear that someone else would get on the wire ahead of us,
and get the business from us. Let us console ourselves with the
thought that we needed the business anyway, and that it really is not
doing the other fellow any injury to get ahead of him, for quite likely
he was bidding too low anyway to make the business of any real value
to him. Let us forget the fact, and discharge from our memory for
all time to come the thought that this business would be transacted
just the same at a legitimate price if we only had the backbone to
stand out for that price. Let us close our eyes to the fact that when
the broker tries to impress upon us the desirability of any particular
order, he may have interviewed others before us, and they may have
quoted from experience. Let us believe that the broker has singled
us out from amongst all the rest because he is interested in our wel-
fare, and wants to see us prosper at the lowest possible prices. Let

us forget that experience teaches us nothing unless we benefit by
what it teaches.

Of course you have all read in the Book of Books where it says,
“There is that which is crooked; who can make it straight?” And
so if there is any crooked member in our fraternity who must go
through life so, let us remember him, and offer him our sympathies.
The way of the transgressor may be hard, but the way of a crooked
man, if he must go through life so, must be harder.

Cold Weather Closes B.C. Coast Mills

Severe cold weather on the‘ coast in B. C. which commenced
shortly after Christmas has resulted in the closing of nearly all the
mills and logging camps and has given quite a setback to the industry
for the time being. Latest reports are that the snowfall has been
very heavy making logging operations practically impossible, as most
of the mills depend upon the logging camps for their continual supply
of logs, the result has been the shutting down of the mills also. Many
lumbermen see in this a blessing in disguise as it will have the effect
of still further stiffening prices, which have already made substantial
advances during the last few months. ;

Western Canada Agog with Optimism
Demand Increasing and Prices Advancing — Large Crops
Create Good Trade—U.S. Orders Coming to Canada

Mr. Hugh A. Rose, eastern representative for the Canadian West-
ern Lumber Company, of Fraser Mills, B. C., returned to Toronto —
on January 19th from his annual visit to the head office of the com- —
pany at Fraser Mills. Speaking of trade conditions in eastern Can-
ada, Mr. Rose had nothing but encouraging opinions to express. The
demand for all kinds of B. C. timber, lumber, shingles, etce., has been
increasing rapidly since the middle of last fall. This improvemen
has effected the whole industry and Mr. Rose states that every lumbe
man in western Canada is looking forward to a good season’s tra
during 1916. , ms)

There are several important factors that have brought about th
improvement. One of the chief influences has been the enorme
crop harvested in the prairie provinces last fall. The crop of 1915
everyone knows, was abnormal, and it is hardly reasonable to e
that so great a crop will again be harvested in 1916. Every availa
farm hand was occupied late into the fall of 1915 in harvesting oj
tions and in making shipments of the crop. The result is that t
was, comparatively speaking, only a small amount of fall
and there will, therefore, be a corresponding decrease in t
under cultivation for 1916 crops. In connection with the
there is apparently a serious problem before the country
of the extent of the crop as compared with the facilities fc
ment. The indications at present are that, even with the
continental railways, it will take the best part of a year,
than a year, before the last of the 1915 grain is shipped out o'
This situation was recognized at an early date last fall by pr
everybody in the west and the result was an immediate and wi
demand for lumber and timber to erect granaries so that
could be stored pending shipment. This was the commer
the improved demand in the west. Shortly following this
a great increase in the demand for lumber in the United §
was caused by the great industrial activity in the first plac
mous~war orders received by United States manufac
put into circulation almost fabulous sums of money and
lowed quickly by an influence having an even greater and mo
effect upon the lumber industry, namely, the ordering o
quantities of southern pine by the allied buyers for use in ce
with the carrying on of the war. Ph:

Such an abnormal demand for lumber and so great a
increase in industrial activity naturally put an immediate
strain upon the railroad companies which were driven int
ket to secure lumber for car building material. In the
very few weeks it became apparent that the southern
driven to their utmost capacity, could not handle the
for lumber. Prices were rapidly advanced but the deme

the Pacific Coast mills found themselves unable to handle
orders coming their way. The demand has not only kep

States has led to the erection of warehouses and private

was scarcely a mill upon the Pacific Coast either in the United S$
or B. C. that was operating. This shutdown, of course, will
of a very temporary nature, but when one considers the eno!
producing capacity of the mills he will see that the effect upon
conditions must be considerable. Moreover, this compulsory
tion in output has come at a time when stocks of lumber in all
of the country’are badly broken. Mr. Rose, during his trip to
from B. C., observed closely the conditions in the towns and cities
through which he passed. He travelled by the Canadian Northern ©
Railway and he reports that, practically everywhere, he saw retail
yards in which the chief feature was the fence surrounding an almost
vacant lot. The lumber piles had been reduced to practically no-
thing wherever he had an opportunity of making observations. De-

uble reports which his firm had received from all parts of the
sy ry indicate that this condition is general.

“es Under all these circumstances it is natural that lumbermen in
| Western Canada should feel encouraged in regard to present condi-
tions and the outlook. Mr. Rose says that he never came across in
all his experience such remarkable optimism as prevails in the West
he today. No one will even listen to a suggestion of the possibility of
anything but an enormous volume of business at splendid prices dur-
_ ing 1916.

_ The closing down of the coast mills is the direct result of the
vy snow fall and cold weather in the logging camps. In B. C.,

e logging operations are carried on almost entirely by machinery
1 railroads. It is impossible to conduct these operations when the
ry is under a heavy blanket of snow. The mills count upon a
Be ual inflow of logs from the woods, and when this is interrupted
e production of lumber cannot continue. As the shutdown is uni-
al no one mill is effected more than others. There is no fear of
g employees as there would be if one mill were closed and another
nning. The employees naturally remain and wait from day to day
xpecting the plants to be re-opened. Thé net result therefore is a
reduction in the volume of output which will naturally be an
al Ester in stiffening prices. Prices on practically all lines

of B. C. timber, lumber and shingles have increased considerably dur-
ing the past few months and further advances are practically certain.
The door trade situation in B. C. has been improving greatly of late,
in a manner similar to the situation in connection with other lines of
wood goods. Every door factory in fact from the California line north
is loaded with orders, and prices have advanced from 5 to 7 points, or
28c to 35c per door in the last two months. This is due to several
causes; increased demand, the increased cost of fir lumber and the
scarcity of labor. The labor situation in B. C., partly as the result
of the heavy enlistment for overseas service, has become acute.

One of the chief topics of discussion among the lumbermen of the
Pacific Coast, Mr. Rose said, was the proposal « of the Provincial Goy-
ernment to encourage the building of a number of Diesel engine
schooners, as mentioned in recent issues of the Canada Lumberman.
The proposition is being undertaken by a private company made up
mostly of lumbermen, the understanding being that the Government
will assist the undertaking by means of guarantees. [very lumberman
who is interested in the export business today is also discussing the
situation in connection with the Panama Canal and looking anxiously
forward to the time when it will be re-opened for general. traffic. It
has been a severe blow to the industry upon the Coast that the Canal
has not been available for shipments of late.

ied industries of Western Canada had a very quiet year. The
course, was the main cause, owing to the fact that the Prairie

there became a distinct revival in the lumber trade. The
began to pay their debts to the banker, to the government
their seed and grain, interest on mortgage loans, country store
achinery, and lumber bills.
Retail lumber dealers, who had- been carrying extremely low
LO cks, began to stock up. This caused many mills, in order to meet
den demand, to start operations, and for many weeks the
were unable to obtain stock quick enough from the Coast and
ntain manufacturers to fill their orders. ‘Most of these orders
for lumber for farm constructional purposes, to erect granaries,
nt sheds and portable houses. Almost every dealer, conse-
ipon the huge demand for shiplap, six inch clear strips and

ne belt, occasioned by the large war orders which were given

lL boundary line. This factor, coupled with a shortage of stock,

encouraging feature of the review of the year’s doings in the
trade in the Prairie Provinces is the fact that the years 1914
15 have taught the lumbermen—both buyers and sellers—many
which can only be learned in the hard school of experience.
© of these is in the matter of credits. The situation in this respect
n naterially improved in so far that the seller has discovered that
just as important for him to give attention to getting paid for
terial as it is for him to find a market in which to sell it. One

lumbermen to remember. It is to be hoped that it will not re-

an over supply. This is a very important factor in weighing the pros
and cons in the annual review of the lumber trade. This face is one
which should be entered upon the credit side of the ledger in estimat-
ing the losses and gains of the lumber trade of the Brean Provinces

for 1915.

It is difficult to forecast what is in store for the Prairie lumber-
men for 1916. It appears certain that there will be more building than
during 1915. To what degree this will materialize will depend very
largely upon the extent to which the retailer may be disposed to
throw open the “flood gates” of credit. It will, furthermore, depend
to a great extent upon what attitude the banks find it possible to take
in loaning money to farmers.

City building, however, will again be poor. In the country dis-
tricts we cannot. count upon much residential building in the larger
towns, but we can, unquestionably, look forward to a brighter out-
look in industrial building. Already there has been announced to
be erected this spring a new bank building for the Bank of Hamilton
at Winnipeg. One of the largest firms in Wi innipeg is to erect a five-
storey warehouse as soon as the weather moderates. Work will pro-
ceed on Winnipeg’s new $13,500,000 aqueduct. $15,000,000 will be
spent on road construction in Canada during 1916. On January 10 the
Provincial Government of Manitoba sold bonds valued at almost
$1,000,000 in New York. This money will be used for building pur-
poses such as the finishing of the $4,500,000 legislative building at
Winnipeg. At Regina a $1, 000,000 oil refinery plant will be erected
by the Imperial Oil Company. In Northern Alberta the sum of
$10,000,000 will be spent this year on a scheme to develop a district
lying between Athabasca and Fort Vermillion, a distance of 300 miles:
The scheme includes the development of coal mines, the construction
of a line of steamers for the Peace and Mackenzie Rivers, the manipu-
lation of the by-products of minerals and other measures. It is antici-
pated that work will start early in the spring. Throughout Alberta,
Manitoba and Saskatchewan new flour mills are being erected. Others
will be started when the frost gets out of the ground. At Fort Frances,
which, geographically is in Western C anada, “there is to be constructed
a new mill having a capacity of at least 2,000 barrels per day. All
these construction features, which are only picked from many similar
items, should undoubtedly tend* to help the Lee trade in the
Prairie Provinces.

In conclusion, there appears to be a great opportunity for the lum-
bermen of Western Canada to do a big business during 1916. The
Prairie farmers will have plenty of money, and the volume of business
possible is almost incalculable. They will erect dwellings, barns, sheds
and outbuildings. A sign of w hat is forthcoming is shown by the
fact that the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association recently issued
25,000 plan books of farm buildings and not one remains. A further
issue, which has just been published, has been completely sold out.

- After one of the worst periods of depression in the history of the
lumber business of Western Canada it seems certain that the industry
is now on the upgrade, and it is most probable that the spring of 1916
will see a distinct revival in the lumber industry of the Prairie Pro-
vinces.

40 . CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

A budget of comment on men and things of moment presented in the -
interest of our readers, independent of party politics
and with malice toward no one.

Brigadier-General—pardon me, Sir Alexander—Bertram is off to summer
lands in search, we are told, of new health, and hurling through the air in
his direction goes a title. And surely no man ever tried so hard to earn the
Government gratitude the title implies. Sir Alexander has loaded all the cares,
crimes and virtues of the Shell Committee on his shoulders and tried to take
them south with him. And the Government cares not where they go so long
as they are out of sight and have any kind of a chance of being out of mind.
But the public refuses to forget some things—and the Shell Committee is one
of them. The public wants to know all about it, and is clamoring for an in-
vestigation so insistently and audibly that the Conservative party are hearing
it even above the calls of party loyalty. That old-time Conservative organ ihe
Hamilton Spectator is one of the latest to climb the fence and voice the senti-
ments of its subscribers. The Spectator hasn’t made any half-way jump like
the Ottawa Journal. It places the responsibility where it belongs—on the
shoulders of the government. In an editorial dealing with the Shell Committee
the Spectator says: :

“Upon the Dominion Government rests the duty of setting on foot a most
thorough and rigid investigation of its operations from beginning to end, and
we cannot doubt that the ordaining of such an investigation will be regarded as
one of the first tasks of Parliament at its approaching session.”

How many more prominent Conservative journals will have to speak before
Sir Robert Borden realizes that the machine oilers by whom he is surrounded
do not voice the sentiments of the people?

* * *

Is Canada to receive no more shell contracts? This idea prevails in
certain quarters. Still, it was only the other day that Lloyd George was
appealing to the patriotism of Glasgow workmen. And that appeal surely
carried a conviction that the Empire needs all the munitions her factories
can make. Does it all mean that so far as munitions and munition contractors
go Canada is not looked on as part of the Empire, but rather as a neutral
country? -Are our contractors put in the “cold business” class occupied largely
by our Yankee cousins? Has Britain refused to forget that when men cried
from the trenches for shells the Canadian manufacturer came forward with a
dollar’s worth of shell in one hand while the other was held out for $5.00?
Are we to give our sons to the Empire by the half-million and yet to have a
cold, hard, commercial rating that belies our loyalty? Is Canada as a whole
to suffer that a few may become rich? These are questions we are not to ask.
The answers might harm some of our alleged leaders. And we must be loyal
to our leaders rather than to the Empire and the freedom the continuance
of that Empire assures us.

“Three million dollars is the value of Manitoba Agricultural College
buildings as they stand, including the site and furnishings, according to an
official report made to the Government by the Canadian Appraisal Company
of Montreal, appointed some time ago to make a valuation of the Provincial
buildings. The Agricultural College cost the Province approximately four
million, it was stated in Government circles. Where did the other million
dollars go?”

Let me see, was not the Hon. Bob Rogers then Minister of Public Works?

The real test of sacrifice is now at hand. It comes not in the call for half
a million men, but in the answering of that call. It comes when men who
love not war but peace, not the blare of trumpets but the quiet fireside, are
asked to prove that they love their country more than all else they hold dear
in life. It comes when men are asked to give up good positions with the
ease and comfort that accompany them, to serve as privates in the ranks—
to face hardship and death, not for glory or love of excitement, but as their
duty. to that Empire that has guaranteed them liberty and the pursuit of a

certain amount of happiness.
* * *

Nor has our business community yet learned the real meaning of rising
to the occasion. Some lines of trade have been impaired by the war, but
on the whole Canada is enjoying a very reasonable prosperity. We have given,
some of us not over liberally, to the Red Cross Fund and the Patriotic Fund.
But I venture to say that not one of us has been compelled to deprive him-
self to any serious extent in the giving, while most of us enjoy our usual
comforts and luxuries in the same old way. It is no hardship to have to give

it is half hiddén under a cloak of hypocrisy? If “to the victor belongs the
_ spoils” is to be the party system of this young country let us be open and
above-board about it. Let us not fool ourselves with the idea that govern-
- ment is being carried on by the people for the people but announce to the
world that our government is by the party for the party. In short, if we
are to have a patronage system, give us one of the good old Yankee variety,
where every office holder pays tithes to the party and knows the costs of a
job beforehand. They make no bones about it. This sneaking method of
_ pretending virtue while practising deceit fills us with disgust.

_ Ss Canada ‘has now more than a hundred knights—more than could find
- place at King Arthur’s famous round table. She also has a minor aristocracy
-- ~made up of honorary colonels, etc. And while the wearers are doubtless
proud of their titles it is doubtful if even those who have honestly earned
} them are more respected because of them. There are others of course who
hang to a rather precarious fame by the handle their title affords. But great
Canadians do not require a title to keep their memory green in the minds
of their country; others who have been “honored” by their country or rather
by their party, do not receive more respect because they have been hung on
a hook a trifle above the democracy that is the backbone of every new country.
Sir John A. Macdonald is still “John A.” to the men who loved and followed
oo. him; Alexander MacKenzie still holds a place in Liberal hearts that will never
_ be attained by many a man who has been “decorated by his King.” If titles
have any value at all in Canada it is because they foster democracy. The
man who refuses a title is a patriot; the man who accepts one is often more
or less of a joke.

The same government which pays 5% per cent. interest on war bonds
‘keeps the rate of interest on post office savings at 3 per cent. Does said gov-
ernment wish to convey the impression that its bonds are twice as great a
risk as money in the post office, or is it merely trying to creaté a market by
offering bonds at bargain prices? Surely the government wants the people
to save. Why not pay them a more attractive rate of interest till they have
saved enough to invest in bonds? Why not encourage thrift among our people?

Campbell & Johnson Dissolved—New Firms Formed

The firm of Campbell and Johnson, Traders Bank Bldg., Tor-
onto, one of the best known wholesale lumber firms in Ontario is
being dissolved by mutual arrangement of its members. Two of
the members of this firm, Messrs. J. L. Campbell and W. G. Paynes
are entering upon the lumber business in partnership under the firm
name of Campbell and Paynes. Mr. J. P. Johnson and his son Mr.
A. K. Johnson will also open offices in the Traders Bank Blidg., at an
early date and carry on a, wholesale lumber business.

Messrs. Campbell and Paynes will continue to occupy the offices
formerly occupied by Campbell and Johnson at 1521-22 Traders Bank
Bldg., Toronto. The character of the business carried on by them
will be the same as that heretofore carried on by Campbell and John-
son, namely, a wholesale lumber business, dealing especially in east-
ern Canadian woods and B. C. shingles and lumber. ;

Mr. J. L. Campbell is one of the best known wholesale lumber
dealers in Ontario. Before coming to Toronto he was in business
for a number-of years in the west and still retains his connection with
the firm of Campbell and Ferguson, Melita, Man., a progressive re-
tail lumber and hardware business. Mr. Campbell started business
in Toronto in 1907 with the firm of Campbell and Carman which was
shortly afterwards succeeded by the firm of Campbell and Johnson.
Six years ago the firm took Mr. W. G. Paynes into membership. He
has been a member of the firm ever since. The new firm of Camp-
bell and Paynes will be represented on the road throughout Eastern
and Western Ontario by Mr. W. G. Paynes and Mr. J. L. McCormack
of Brantford, Ont. :

Abitibi Pulp and Paper Company’s Progress

_ According to a statement by Mr. F. H. Anson, president, the
Abitibi Pulp and Paper Company, now employs 800 men in the pulp
and paper mills and about 2,400 in logging operations. During the
summer 1,500 mer are engaged in the mills and in the woods. Of
this number 1,000 are employed at Iroquois Falls, where a model town
has been established. The buildings include rooming houses, cafe,
hotel, and 45 employees’ dwellings, and it is proposed to construct 55
additional dwellings. The output of newsprint totals 215 tons per
day, most of it going to the United States, and it is expected that
the company will soon be turning out 225 tons per day. Mr. Anson

States that the mills have proved to be efficient in every respect. Of

the 25,000 horse power generated by the company at Iroquois Falls,
22,000 horse power is now being utilized, and the balance will be
required when the maximum output of the mills is reached. The
company is manufacturing 250 tons of ground wood and 50 tons of
sulphite.

_Forty-six vessels sailed from the port of Dalhousie, N. B., during
1915, carrying 17 million feet of deals, etc., 21,575 cords of pulpwood

W. E. Bigwood, Toronto, Elected President—Important Resolutions Carried—
Officers for the Current Year

Senator George Gordon, Cache Bay,
the retiring President.

W.E. Bigwood, Toronto, the new
President.

The eighth annual meeting of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Asso-
ciation was held at Ottawa, in the Chateau Laurier, on Wednesday,
January 19th. One of the chief events of interest of the meeting was
the reading of the president’s address. The report referred to the
fact that, notwithstanding the abnormal situation brought about by
the war, trade conditions in Canada could not be called desperate.
Reports of various recent annual bank meetings indicated that Can-
adian finances were on a solid foundation. Referring to the lumber
trade the report stated that for some months past articles had appeared
in the press regarding the enormous quantities of lumber that are
being consumed at present by the allies and the possibility of disposing
of still further tremendous quantities of lumber, portable houses, ete.
Other reports had been published regarding the presence in Canada
of alleged representatives of the Belgian and French Governments
looking towards the placing of large contracts for lumber, etc. In
every instance careful enquiry had been made by the Association, and
so far they had yet to learn of any duly authorized representatives of
these governments being in Canada.

The serious difficulty in regard to this branch of the business
was the prohibitive freight rates for ocean transport. The president
referred in detail to the situation in regard to tonnage but was unable
to afford any definite encouragement in this regard.

Referring to the work of the Association the report stated that
the time had now been reached when they must decide whether they
should further develop various branches of their activities.

The report of the treasurer showed that the Association had had
a successful financial year, coming through it with a substantial credit
balance.

The report of the Executive Committee stated that there was a
very strong feeling that the trade report branch of the Association
should be developed to its full capacity, somewhat on the lines of the
trade report branch of the National Association. To carry this out it
would of course be necessary to increase the staff of the Association.
The executive also asked that the Association should be authorized to
develop the work of collecting claims or debts.

Reference was made to the importance of seeking the co-operation
of architects in promoting the use of wood. ‘The secretary of the
Association had been in Toronto recently and had been invited to
attend a luncheon of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto Board
of Trade, at which there was a discussion regarding a proposal of the
Toronto city architect that lumbermen should assist in securing proper
consideration for lumber in proposed new city by-laws. In connec-
tion with the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior, the
report stated, tests were being made at McGill University in order to
establish statistics regarding the strengths of all kinds of timber. This
was a most important step in the interests of the lumber industry of
Canada.

An interesting reference was made to wood block paving, and the
‘fact that most of the business in this line had gone to longleaf pine.
Investigation, however, had shown that Canadian Norway pine was
as good as, or better than any other wood for this purpose.

The committee also suggested the advisability of organizing a
campaign for the advertising of lumber as against substitutes for wood.

The report of the committee on transportation dealt extensively
with matters which had been under consideration throughout _the
year, such as ocean freight rates and the eastern freight rate case.

Secretary’s Report

The secretary’s report showed that Canada’s imports of mer-
chandise (not including coin and bullion) during the twelve months
ending November 30th, were as follows —

1913 ..) aan, $005,190,828
1914 495,935,998 ike ted
1915 435,342,586 ;

or a total reduction in the two years of nearly $230,000,000. Exports
on the other hand were as follows :— : :

1913 ... $419,362,646
1914 397 905,887
1915 559,152,052 ,

or an increase in the two years of $139,789,406. In the two years
Canada had therefore improved her position by $369,643,648.

Exports of products of the forest for the same periods were as
follows:

1913 $42,875,089
1914 41,954,640
1915 48,925,230

Officers for 1916

The election of officers for the year 1916 resulted as follows :—

A number of resolutions were carried, among them being the
following :—

To take such action as is necessary in connection with the ap-
proaching visit of premiers and cabinet ministers from Australia and
New Zealand, and also in connection with the proposed Imperial
Trade Conference which may be held shortly in England;

To take such action as is necessary in connection with the prob-
able enquiries from Great Britain and the allied nations for lumber,
timber, portable houses, ete. ;

To assist the “Economic and Development Commission” in every
way possible ;

To communicate with engineers in all cities, towns and municipali-
ties urging the use of Canadian woods, particularly for wood block
pavements. ; ‘

A resolution was also passed by the Association to appoint a com-_

mittee of three members to look into the question of insurance on lum-
ber mills. It is expected that the outcome will be the formation of an
insurance organization among Canadian lumbermen.

In the evening a joint banquet was held by the Association and by
the Commission of Conservation, the Canadian Forestry Association
and the Canadian Society of Forest Engineers. The banquet was
exceptionally interesting and successful. The speakers of the evening
were :—Hon. Sir Geo. E. Foster, Rt. Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon.

‘Toronto Lumbermen Annual Meeting

Board of Trade section elect officers for 1916—
é ; Retiring chairman’s interesting address

J. L. Campbell, the retiring Chairman

G. W. Boake, the new Chairman

The annual meeting of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto
Board of Trade was held on January 17th and was largely attended.

~ The chief item of business for the meeting was the election of officers,

i sulted as follows :—chairman, Mr. G. W. Boake, of the Boake
Besa: vice-chairman, J. B. Reid, of Reid & Company ; ex-
ecutive committee, A. E. Clark, T. H. Hancock, T. E. Rathbone, A. E.
Eckardt and C. W. Wilkinson; secretary and treasurer, Hi. Boultbee;
programme committee, J. L. Campbell, A. E. Eckardt, W. J. Lover-
ing and H. Boultbee.

An amendment to the by-laws was carried so as to provide that
in future the annual meeting of the Section will be held on the first
Friday in the year instead of the third Monday as formerly. This
change was made so as to prevent the annual meeting from clashing
with that of the Board of Trade.

Retiring Chairman’s Address

The retiring chairman, Mr. 2 erkiss Campbell, delivered a short
address, opening with an expression of the appreciation which he felt
at having been president of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto
Board of Trade during the past year. Such work as it had involved
on his part had been entirely a labor of love. The part he had en-
joyed most of all was the social feature of the meetings of the Sec-
tion. These meetings had given him an opportunity of meeting the
other lumbermen of the city and of coming into close contact with
them, which he had found to be very much to his advantage. There
had been other important advantages also. The Section had been
able to discuss many questions of mutual interest to the members
from a business point of view. Mr. Campbell felt that possibly the
members did not yet realize the advantages of association, provided
by such an organization as the Lumbermen’s Section. It was a good
thing, not only to have an opportunity to discuss business questions,
but also an opportunity to gét together and become well acquainted
with one another. In all business there was a great deal of com-
petition and the impressions which men were likely to form of one
another under the strain of competition were liable to be very diverse.
On the other hand, if they had the opportunity of meeting one an-
other socially they were certain to find out that the other fellow was
not such a bad fellow after all. Social intercourse among business
men promoted to a large extent a greater feeling of satisfaction and
“mutual confidence, which was after all, a most valuable asset in all
business relationships. Business was conducted almost entirely on
the basis of confidence. If by meeting together they could iniprove
the confidence existing between themselves, their meetings were sure
to be of great value.

In regard to the actual benefits derived from the Lumbermen’s

- Section of the Board of Trade, these, on the surface might not appear
'to have been very extensive.

The Section might not have accomp-
lished a great deal in definite results. It had, however, accomplished
a few things which he had already mentioned and in addition it had

inaugurated a movement which had lead to the creation of a Lum-

bermen’s Credit Bureau among thé retail trade in Toronto, which

would prove of great. advantage to its members and, inasmuch as

enabled the retailers to place their business upon a more practical

nd a safer basis, it would be a corresponding benefit to the whole-
ne ,

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 43

In addition, the lumbermen now formed a part of the Toronto
Board of Trade. Mr. Campbell-felt that possibly they were in-
clined to under-estimate the value of such an institution as the Board
of Trade. The services of the Board of Trade to its members were
indeed of great importance. Large questions of general interest to
the business men of the city were continually coming up and only
through the co-operative action of a Board of Trade could they be
handled to mutual advantage. Such questions as those regarding
freight rates, and transportation matters in general were continually
coming up for consideration and the only watch dog the business men
of the city had was the Board of Trade. He believed that the Tor-
oto Board of Trade had looked after its work in these lines very well.
As an example, there had come up last year the important question of
Sanitation of railway cattle cars. The railway companies had
wanted to charge $3.50 per car for this service. The Toronto Board
of Trade had taken the matter up and brought about a reduction in
the charge to 75c, thereby effecting a very great saving to the whole
Dominion.

The Board of Trade had been the only body in Toronto that had
had an eye to the Hydro-Electric By-law when it was submitted to the
citizens for a vote. This by-law may have been a good thing or a
bad thing. He thought that in principle it was a good thing. The
Board of Trade, however, had been able to discover that certain
things in connection with the by-law had been done in a slipshod
manner. For instance, the by-law had been passed through the
City Council without being considered clause by clause. He men-
tioned this merely to show that the City Council passed a good deal
of loose legislation for which the people of the city had to pay. the
piper and it was a good thing, therefore, to have a watchful Board
of Trade which would at least make an effort to protect the citizens’
interests. The fact that the Hydro Electric by-law had been handled
by the City Council in a slipshod manner was evidenced by Sir Adam
Beck’s promise to bring in legislation in the Ontario Legislature to
overcome the weak points in the by-law. If the Board of Trade
had not been on the watch this would not have been done and the
by-law would have been sanctioned by the people without Sir Adam
Beck’s additional guarantee.

If the Board of Trade was thus able to demonstrate its usefulness
to the citizens of Toronto it was their duty to support it and it was
the duty of the lumbermen to do their share towards its maintenance.
The Lumbermen’s Section of the Board of Trade might not have been
of any great benefit to the Board, but he thought that the influence
which it had exerted was of a cumulative nature and had been appre-
ciated by the Board itself.

In conclusion Mr. Campbell repeated his appreciation of the
honor he had felt in acting as president of the Section during the year
and expressed his hope that during the coming year the Lumber-
men’s Section would increase in members, usefulness and influence.

On motion of Mr. A. E. Clark, seconded by Mr. G: W. Boake, a
vote of thanks to Mr. Campbell for his very capable and successful
work as chairman during the year was unanimously carried.

] ‘Mr. Campbell then retired in favor of the new chairman Mr. G.
W. Boake who conducted the rest of the meeting.

The Board of Trade elections restilted in two candidates nomin-
ated by the Lumbermen’s Section being elected. These were Mr. Ink;
Reid, elected by acclamation upon the Board of Arbitration, and Mr.
Walter C. Laidlaw, elected as a representative upon the National
Exhibition Association.

Better Trade Conditions in United States
R. S. Kellogg

gg, secretary of the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association in a report upon the trade during 1915, says:—‘“The close
of the year 1915 finds the lumber industry of the United States emerg-
ing from a long period of depression—a longer one, perhaps, than that
passed through by most of the other leading industries of the coun-
try. The immediate cause of this depression was the European war,
which, for a time, cut off practically all export trade, and also, by
reflex action upon the other industries in the United States, brought
about a heavy falling off in the domestic demand for forest products
in almost every form.

“Beginning last September, heavy foreign orders for lumber were
placed in the South; the railroads which had been out of the market
for a long time, came in with large requirements for car repairing and
car building, which have been steadily maintained, while an excep-
tionally open fall facilitated building operations throughout the United
States on an unusually extensive scale.

_“From the middle of March, 1913, until the first of September,
1915, lumber production throughout the United States averaged
greater than lumber shipments, with an inevitable increase of stocks
on hand and a weakening of the market.
ber conditions have been reversed. Lumber shipments have steadilv
exceeded lumber production. Stocks are being reduced to a normal
basis, and prices are again getting upon a better foundation. Whether
this in turn will lead to overproduction and demoralization as in the
past remains to be seen.”

Review of Current Trade Cond

r Ontario

Trade conditions continue quiet throughout Ontario. In the large
cities there is very little likelihood of any extensive building operations
during the coming year, although there is a likelihood that the amount
of money spent upon new buildings: will be greater this year than last.
No. one at present seems to know what to expect in connection with
the demand for such lines as are needed for war materials. The shell
box situation has become very uncertain. New orders are not being
given out to any great extent and shipments upon old orders are not
being asked for rapidly. Of course, this situation will depend largely
upon the activities of the opposing forces in Europe during the coming
summer and it is quite within the bounds of possibility that a great
demand for shell boxes will develop in the near future.

Reports from retail firms indicate a fair spring business. Stocks
have been allowed to dwindle almost to nothing in a great many cases,
and with a fair demand from the farmers there is sure to be some
improvement in the retail situation.

The lath situation in Ontario is very strong. The production of
lath last year was light, and while the demand in Ontario is not active
there is a good demand in the Northern States. This is using up a
lot of Ontario lath.

Present indications are that the consumption of Ontario lumber
‘ in the United States will continue good, as a result of the high prices
now prevailing for yellow pine. It looks as though the Northern
States will take enough of our lumber during 1916 to keep prices
fairly steady. There is a good demand for Canadian hemlock at points
in the Northern States. Hardwoods continue firm. The volume of
trade is fair and in some lines, such as birch, the demand is very
strong and stocks are light.

Eastern Canada

.The volume of business at Montreal is light. Building opera-
tions are at a standstill and shell box manufacturers are producing
‘only on a limited scale. Prices are steady. The trade with the
United States is satisfactory and the outlook is good. Large orders
for spruce have recently been put through at good: increases in prices.

Nova Scotia’s products during 1915 according to an estimate by
the Halifax morning Chronicle amounted in value to $124,622,658.
The value of the products of the forest is estimated at $4,600,000.

Prices of eastern spruce at Boston continue firm, the base price
for frames being $26. Random quotations are also firmer, but orders
‘are not quite so numerous. Recent prices have been: 2 x 3, $21;
2x 4, $22; 2x 5, 2:x 6 and 2 x 7, $21 to $21.50; 2 x 8, $24.50'to $25;
2 x 10, $25.50 to $26; 2 x 12, $26.50 to $27. A striking improvement is
at reported for northern and eastern boards. First class covering boards
5 in. and up wide, 8 ft. and up long, are quoted at $22, but fairly satis-
factory boards are still to be had for $21. The best matched boards
10, 12, 14 and 16 ft. are bringing $25, with $23 and $24 for stocks
not quite so good. The demand for shingles at Boston is quiet. Prices
are easy.- Good white cedar extras are bringing $3.30 to $3.40, and
clears $2.90 to $3. Red cedar shingles remain fairly firm, but the
enquiry has slackened off to some extent. The best brands of extras
are bringing $3.48. Lath are fairly active at $4.15 to $4.25 for 15¢-in.
For 114-in. the usual price is $3.75.

Great Britain

Business was much restricted on the spot market in London dur-
ing the first two weeks in January, on account of the small quantity
of stock on hand and the likelihood of very restricted arrivals. Only
a few small parcels were expected from Canadian ports. Values con-
tinue on the up grade for everything and tonnage is scarcer than ever.
Very little forward business is in progress. Deliveries at London
docks for the week ending January Ist amounted to 2,913 standards,
as compared with 5,432 standards during the corresponding week a
re year ago. At Foy, Morgan and Company’s recent auction sale 3 x 3
dry unsorted St. John spruce 9/20 sold at £17 10s.

At Liverpool, there is a strong demand for all kinds of birch, and
today’s prices of both Halifax and Quebec are considerably advanced
over those of even a month ago. Much the same thing applies to pine,
stocks of which are limited, and fancy prices are talked of both for
logs and planks for next season’s shipments. Since the beginning of
the year spruce prices have continued to advance and have reached
figures higher than anything ever recorded previously, while still
higher prices are asked for stocks now offering. This condition is
likely to continue. The spot market at Liverpool continues firm and
further advances are expected. If the present rate of consumption

St. John Trade Steady—The Log Output

St. John, N.B., January 19th, (Special to the Canada Lumber-
man) :—The market at St. John has not changed to any extent during
_- the past two weeks. If anything, a firmer and more optimistic feeling

is gaining on the wholesale trade. Prices for English deals remain

firm. Some trades for the coming year have been made at an advance
i all around over last year’s prices. “A good many inquiries are coming
: on the market. The market in E ngland remains good, while at the
first of the month stocks were very heavy, in fact the greatest in years;
the consumption was keeping pace with the import and if the Ad-
miralty kept taking the available stocks, as they had in the past, prices
would go higher.
Deals on wharves at St. John would demand, for short average
stock, $18 per M. on a basis of 50 per cent. 7 and'8 x 3 and 50 per cent.
9 and up. Of course, long average deals cut from State of Maine logs
are bringing, fancy prices and those mills here which have anything
in that line to offer are reaping a well deserved harvest. All the mills
at St. John are now idle and will continue so until spring opens navi-
eation. A limited supply of logs are on hand to start with, but in all
probability an early drive of logs will come with ice, so no doubt the
mills will be wellsupplied by June. About 15 to 18 million feet are
being wintered over, mostly long logs.

The United States market shows a splendid revival, especially in
the board lines, which has been at a standstill for a year. Buyers who
‘ now come upon the market will find boards extremely hard to find, and
2 prices are a good $2 over two months ago. All the boards throughout

the province will no doubt be cleaned up by spring, and this will give

} the mills a chance for piling and also to get a better price for side étock
‘ for 1916. The two and three inch market, both New England and
New York, show a very firm tone. The New England base price for
2x8, 20 ft. and under stands today at $26. If this continues the United
) States market should be strong for 1916, and should be a good com-
— * petitor for the English.

Laths are also stittening, and should leave $3 upon the wharves

at St. John.

The shingle market does not show any signs of moving up or
- down, but remains firm at prices quoted all season.

The log cut on the St. John this year will not be so large as last

year. Upon the upper St. John it will be about the same, as follows:

This, if all logs come out, will probably “work “up to 55,000, 000
feet for mills here.

“ae Locally, the market is stagnant and factory work and building is
h. about at a standstill. Conditions will no doubt remain this way until
late spring. What the outcome may be will depend on war condi-
N tions entirely. Refuse lumber is in a somewhat steadier position,
" caused by outside buyers coming into market and exporting for out-
i eide trade.

Only a small business is passing in lumber. Building is almost at a

Improvement Certain in British Columbia _
Editor Canada Lumberman:— New Westminster, B.C.. Jan. ‘oth, 7
While the past year was anything but satisfactory the latter part. of it
showed a marked improvement and it is our opinion that a further advance in
both demand and price of at least 15 per cent. is well within the reach i
the lumber trade of this province. We ourselves have made every prepara-—
tion to take advantage of it’and believe that with thorough co-operation on
the part of the manufacturers of this province we are well within the p38
bility of realizing our hope—The Timberland Lumber Compan: yo i r=

London Wood Goods Markets During 1915

Churchill and Sim, London, Eng., in their annual wood circular, say:—

The continuation of the war throughout 1915 has very materially affected
all kinds of business in this country, but, on the whole, exceptional prosperity
has fallen to the lot of the timber trade. Three governing factors have com-
bined to create and maintain throughout the year a favorable situation for
buyers of wood. The war has produced the almost unknown phenomenon
in the timber trade, of continuously rising markets in all branches of soft
woods. Commencing in January with smaller stocks than had been arranged
for, owing to the declaration of the German Government as regards contra-
band in the autumn of 1914, the position of the market, gradually improved
throughout the season, firstly, under the influence of a strong and active de-
mand, emanating (either directly or indirectly) almost entirely from Govern-
ment sources; secondly, by reason of a constantly growing increase in ton-
nage rates from all wood-producing countries, and, thirdly, owing to the com-
plete elimination of the competition of the usual shipments from Finnish
and Russian Baltic ports. The consequent shortage, mainly of whitewood,
which would, in the ordinary course of events, be quite sufficient of itself to
create a favorable market position, was accentuated by the extreme difficulty
of securing adequate tonnage for the removal of the usual quantities from
the White Sea ports until quite late in the season. It became abundantly clear
during the summer, that given a continuance of the rate of demand, a scarcity
of wood, especially of whitewood, was bound to declare itself, and that more
than the usual quantities in the sizes suitable to British requirements, which
were accessible from the northern ports, would be wanted for winter con-
sumption in this country. Under such circumstances Canadian shipments of
spruce, especially from the lower ports, assumed greater prominence than
usual, and buyers were enabled in part to satisfy urgent calls for stock from
them. The important question of tonnage rates has always been, even in
normal times, one which afforded buyers considerable anxiety, and has in-
troduced into their calculations of delivered cost a somewhat speculative char-
acter; but during the whole of 1915 it has been the one important and over-
shadowing consideration to all importers of wood. So uncertain were the
prospects in this respect early in the year, when buying would, in the ordinary
course of events, have been in full swing, that the majority’ of merchants
shrank from the pure speculation involved in free on board purchases, and
declined altogether to commit themselves except upon a c.i.f. basis of quota-
tion. The result was that the usual practices customary in the trade have been
reversed, and from all shipping centres charters of steamers were effected by
shippers in the first place, and contracts followed upon the basis of tonnage
quotations. It may be said, generally, that the rise in these quotations has
been progressive throughout the season, to the great benefit of buyers, who
were enabled to turn over their stocks to advantage, secure in the knowledge
that higher prices must be ahead of them as tonnage became scarcer and dearer.

It is worthy of being put on record in a year like this that, based upon
the rates current at the close of 1915, timber freights are responsible for
approximately 35 per cent. of the delivered value of stock from Sweden, 50/60
per cent. from the White Sea, and 60/65 per cent. from the pitch pine and
eure ports, while from the Oregon pine districts the proportion is even
righer.

In spite of the vastly increased arrived value of wood this season, and
especially when it is borne in mind how much higher is the proportion repre-
sented by freight charges, which have to be settled upon a cash basis, the
-financing of the trade has apparently given merchants. little trouble.

A New Era Facing Canada’s Business Men
Editor Canada Lumberman:— Grand Forks, B. C., Jan. 5.

Some time ago the Honorable Martin Burrell gave to Canada and to the
Canadian people the slogan “Patriotism and Production,’ which has become
a part of the life of every true Canadian.

In every little hamlet, village, town, and city throughout the Dominion,
hearts have been touched and deeds accomplished, which when we look back
after years of plenty will appear to us to be the wonder of the century.

In the short time since this slogan was given to the Canadian people,
wonderful changes have taken place in the Industrial life of Canada. During
the past year 25 per cent. more acreage has been cropped than ever before.
In every city large or small, every vacant lot has brought forth a harvest, thus
not only supplying the needs of the Canadian people but also supplying to our
Mother Country. the staff of life to continue in her most righteous war.

_ Not only did this slogan “Patriotism: and Production” appeal to the

; Some of the Past Year’s Lessons
Editor Canada Lumberman: Winnipeg, January 15th.

Our experience during the past year has, of course, been the same as the
experience of others in the business, in that had it not been for the big crop
and the resultant large sales in the fall, the year’s operations would have been
very unsatisfactory. During the first six or seven months of the year, our
sales were the lightest since we started operating, but our fall sales were so
heavy that they did a great deal toward retrieving the situation.

The same applies to collections, which were extremely slow until the
returns began to come in from the new crop, and since that time they have
heen the best that we have ever known.

We are looking for a business somewhat above normal during the early
spring, but do not think that in times like these we are any of us warranted
in believing that conditions are going to be other than approaching normal.

It will be hard to estimate of how much value the experiences of the last
year or two have been to both buyers and sellers throughout the whole west.
The credit situation has materially improved, in that the seller has discovered
through trying experiences that it is just as important for him to give atten-
tion to getting paid for his material, as it is for him to find a market in which
to sell it. The buyer has learned what it means to be in debt and to be ob-
liged to sacrifice his holdings in a poor market in order to meet the demands
of his creditors. This lesson is to be learned through experience alone, and it
is to be hoped that it will not require any further demonstration to make us
see the folly of a loose credit policy. ;

During the past year the retail situation has been cleared up considerably
by the withdrawal of yards at points where there was an over-supply, and
this must be entered on the credit side of the ledger in estimating the losses
Fa and gains as pertaining to the lumber trade in general.—William P. Dutton.

=) Prices Will Hold During 1916

Editor Canada Lumberman: Enderby, B.C., January 17th.

«4
‘ The Mountain mills in British Columbia had an unusual demand for their
t. product during the fall months of 1915, which held up well into December.
_ This demand came principally from the rural districts of the three prairie
; provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, due to the heavy crops,
; the increased price for farm products and inability of the railways to handle
_ the crops, making it necessary for the farmer to build small granaries to pro-
tect his grain against the elements, or store his grain in granaries in small
A ‘towns till empty cars could be secured to move it to market. This demand
was chiefly for No. 1 common dimension, boards and shiplap and drop siding,
. causing an exceedingly heavy shortage of these items. in the mountains.
: Stocks of dry common are practically exhausted in the mountain mills. Stocks
are about 125 million feet short at present of what they were January 1st, 1915.
h Inquiries are coming in quite freely from the line yards, and there is an in-
clination with many line yards to place their spring requirements early. The
manufacturer has been able to advance the price of his product over the
prevailing price for the same period a year ago and with short stocks and
increased demand the advance is being well maintained by the larger mills.
_ The trade outlook for the first six months of 1916 is very encouraging. Should
_the crop outlook appear favorable as the season advances, the year 1916 should
- be better than any period since 1912. Some mills are logging more heavily
than at any time since 1913, but generally speaking the output will be prac-
tically the same as in 1915. The present prices, we think, will hold till another
“crop is assured, in which case the manufacturer will be warranted in further
advancing his price—Okanagan Saw Mills, Limited.

The annual dinner of the R. Laidlaw Lumber Company’s staff at
nia, Ont., was held on January 15th. After the dinner a pleasant

and only 5 tons of coal were burned each week.

This is only one example of many showing the immense
saving in fuel bills effected by Jones Stokers.

A Good Belt Saves Money

HE money wasted in keeping a stretching belt taut amounts

to a surprising figure. If you use ‘‘Goodhue Belts” in your

mill or factory you can save most of this money because

‘‘Goodhue Belts” stretch less by 15 to 25 per cent. than any other

belt. They are made from skillfully selected hides with the stretch
taken out of each section before it is made up into the belt.

According to the conditions under which the belt is to run, we
recommend “Extra,” “Standard,” or “Acme Waterproof” belts.

More than a year ago the National Steel Car Co., Limited,
commenced to use its resources and facilities in the designing
and manufacturing of Motor Trucks, its progressive steps being
directed by careful study and analysis under laboratory
conditions, supplemented by service tests of exceptional severity.

In announcing the National Motor Truck we confidently state
that it will give a service that will be one of utmost satisfaction.

It is a matter of the greatest importance to the purchaser that he
should know that“he can depend upon the guarantee of the
manufacturer as well as upon the future service he will receive
from the Truck Maker, no matter where the truck may be
in use.

Details of the specifications and the service which goes with every

National Truck gladly sent upon request. Address enquiries to
Hamilton Office.

Kendall Gang Circular

The Machine you have been waiting for.

The Machine that will convert your small logs into
more and better lumber, quicker than ever before.

The illustration shows the latest design of gang circular patented by Mr. I. N.
, Kendall, the well-known millwright, of Ottaw ap This machine takes 16-26 in. diam.,

10 gauge saws—will cut cants up to 8 inches in thickness, and we furnish with it 30
saw collars for any thickness of lumber desired. It has a hollow mandrel, water
cooled saws; each saw has a separate guide; easily accessible and rez adily adjustable,
and the bridge tree is so designed that it can be removed, the saws taken off and
a new set put on in 10 or 12 minutes. Safety fingers hung just inside the front
press roll prevent a cant flying back off the saws. “Lumber cut on these machines
is guaranteed to come out absolutely true from end to end.

We are the original manufacturers of these Machines

We have been manufacturing them for the past ten years, and the experience
gained in those years is at your ‘disposal. We make these mz eiikles in three sizes,
as follows, using

26-in, saws for 8-in. cants, as illustrated.
32-in. saws for 10-in. cants
36-in. saws for 12-in. cants.

May we send you a list of satisfied users?

We also make a complete line of twin circulars with chain or steam feed for
slabbing logs for these machines.

_A Test In Your
Workshop

will convince you of this fact:

Sa That it is cheaper to use two
ere files where you now use only one.

first ad

shows the stress

laid, even in the
earliest year of the
business, upon the
policy which governs the
manufacture of Plymouth
Cordage—‘‘highest quality
only”

‘Take a certain piece of work
and give one man a new file, and
another a half worn file on a simi-
lar piece of work.

_. The man with the new file is
doing what you are paying him
for. The other man is filing away
: your time.
: It is well to know that we

have always had such a policy.
It makes you feel certain that the
same policy will be continued.

| ‘The man with the new file
takes a pride in his work.

; _ ~The man with the old file starts
with a grouch, and the work suffers.

| When the inefficient point in

the files i is reached it is good policy
for you to have your men discard
them.

In the light of our growth this

course is obviously the profitable one z
for us to follow. And the greater :
service which it enables us to render
to those who sell or use our goods
likewise makes it the natural one.

_ And they should be replaced i
with the five famous brands:

| KEARNEY & FOOT
; ~ GREAT WESTERN
AMERICAN
ARCADE
GLOBE

(Made In Canada)

At no time have we seen any reason

for changing this policy. Instead,

we receive proof every day that
‘highest quality’”’ is the only quality
worth sticking to in cordage—
whether you make it, sell it or
use it.

Throus Out those
(dUalves!!

Don’t tolerate kicking or leaking valves on your Steam Feed. Just as
sure as your valves kick, your cutting capacity is going to take a drop.
The Sawyer “feels” his work through his lever. A kicking valve scares
him off his work ; a leaking valve won’t let him do his best. Both kinds
are money losers for you.

WATEROUS VERTICAL
STEAM FEED VALVES

Will neither kick nor leak.

In the first place, the vertical position of this new valve allows perfect drainage into the exhaust
port at the bottom. Should the connection break
the valve drops of its own weight and shuts off the
steam. That's a safety feature.

Write for
Information

Then, the exhaust—mostly water—doesn’t pass through
the valve plug, but through the lower part of the valve

chest. That's why the valve cannot kick. and

And—most important of all—with the vertical valve there Prices
is no weight on the valve seat and consequently no wear

and no leakage. It's a real steam conserver.

Further, the Waterous Vertical Valve is balanced
to work easy, there is no dead steam between it and the
cylinder. Just as soon as the sawyer moves his lever he
gets the full “punch” of the live steam on his piston. That
makes a fast, quick-acting, satis-
factory feed.

If yours isn't that kind now, attach
Waterous Vertical Valves and
see what a difference they will make.

Grading Rules under Discussion for
4 a }
the Toronto Market

bars! ee few years ago the Canada Lumberman published a series of
a r cles dealing with the importance of grading rules for lumber and
| ocating the adoption of a set of rules for the chief woods used in
‘ rn Ontario, Although we met with much HA from lumber-

ne else up to the present time, so far as et adie diles fot ae
fe concerned.

haps the plan, as then conceived was faulty in that it may
ered at the wrong end of the ladder, so to speak. It seemed
e who took an interest in the matter at that time that the
as. to draw up and put into effect a set of grading rules
“manufacturers. It may be, however, that an equally
vay to introduce standard grading rules would be by enlisting
ices of those who are closer in touch with the consumer. It
ikely that a plan of this nature will be tried in the near future,
trade in Toronto are considering definitely a plan for drawing
putting into force a set of grading rules which shall be known
grading rules for Toronto, shall have the endorsation of the
) Board of Trade and be fathered by the Lumbermen’s Section
oard. Whether such a plan is feasible or not remains to be
‘In the light of trade history in the United States we can’ see
to prevent it from being put into effect and having possibly
( pp. ain than ae, among the trade of Toronto. The

'g CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

successful introduction of a set of grading rules for Toronto could
not be brought about without, to a great extent, standardizing the
grading of lumber throughout the whole province of Ontario. The
chief woods which it is proposed to include in the Toronto rules are
pine, spruce and hemlock.

If anything were wanted in the way of an argument or proof of
the value and importance of adopting grading rules by means of which
to standardize the trade it could be had in the case of the hardwoods,
which have been subjected to standardized grades by the two great
hardwood associations of the United States. Before these grading
rules were put. into effect the hardwood trade both in the United
States and Canada was in a condition of chaos. No one knew what
was meant by any so-called grade which might be mentioned in con-
nection with a transaction. The only way in which to know what
one was purchasing was to see the stock beforehand. Nowadays
one has only to mention the grade of hardwood that he wants and
both parties can understand exactly what stocks are to change hands,
even though the transaction be completed by correspondence or tele-
phone and the purchaser may not have seen the stocks. In fact, the
middleman may purchase hardwoods without seeing them and depend
upon them giving satisfaction to his customer when they are delivered.
These are the elementary benefits secured by a definite set of grading
rules and they ought to appeal to everyone in the business.

For some reason which we have never been able to appreciate.
but which have been explained to us time and again by parties who
think that a uniform set of grading rules would in some mysterious
manner do an injustice to them by depriving them of their own right
to grade stocks as they see fit, or as their predecessors have graded
them, the efforts to standardize grading rules in Ontario have been of
no avail. Surely it is worth while providing by standard rules a
means of simplifying transactions and reducing the possibilities of a
disagreement, to say nothing of making it much more difficult for an
unscrupulous merchant whether he be manufacturer, wholesaler, re-
tailer, jobber or scalper to sell one kind of stock and deliver another.
As things stand today the path of the man who wants to be dishonest
with his customer is almost a primrose one, in the lumber business.
He knows that not even a court of law can clear up a dispute about a

grade of lumber, because there is no definition of what such a grade
may be.

Of course it is every man’s business who buys lumber to know

lumber when he sees it, but he often wants to buy when it is impos-.

sible to inspect the stock personally and he wants to know, just as any
other business man wants to know, that he is getting in return for his
money just what he is expecting. In almost ev ery other line of busi-
ness the tendency has been for many years in a direction directly op-
posite that which has prevailed in lumber. Catalogues and samples
have made it possible for the purchaser to know just what he is get-
ting before he parts with his money. Why should it not be so in
connection with lumber, especially when there is no valid reason
against it, outside of the difficulty of drawing up the rules in the first

place, a difficulty which can surely be overcome by conscientious
effort?

In the past, the lumber business has lost millions of dollars worth
of trade to substitute materials. Unless business methods are
simplified in many ways, one of which is the adoption of grading
rules, the consumer will turn more and more to substitutes, for, after
all, the consumer is the one who suffers most in the long run. With
a set of grading rules in force, a consumer of lumber, that is to say a
man who uses it as a raw material for his factory, or as a building
material, will have himself to thank if he does not get value for his
money, and if he finds that he has been purposely defrauded, he will
have a definite standard upon which to base his claims, if he thinks
fit to take the matter before the courts. So far as we can see the case
for standard grading rules is complete and unanswerable and we hope
that the Toronto trade will be able, to put the plan into effect and
that their example will waken up those others in the trade and in-
dustry who have blocked the proposal in the past.

Lumber Business Lacks Co-operative Publicity

Nothing has been more noticeable in connection with the lumber
markets of Canada and the United States during the last few years
than the rapid fluctuations in prices and the uncertainties which seem
to be inherent to the lumber industry and trade, During these ex-
treme fluctuations in demand and price the conditions of supply have
apparently defied anything in the form of regulation, with the result
that the industry rises and falls between prosperity and depression
and seems to be beyond the working of any ordinary law which will
ensure a comparatively long period of average stability and success.
The conditions bringing about this state of affairs are to be found
inside the lumber industry itself, the result largely of the manner in
which it has developed from a small industry to a world wide one, with
nothing done on a large scale to develop its methods, in proportion to

- the increase in its importance. Salesmanship methods connected
with the lumber industry have been developed in pretty much the
same manner as those in connection with other industries, but the
industry itself, that is to say, its production end, has, to a large extent,
lagged behind in the matter of co-operative regulation. Logging
and manufacturing methods. froma practical point of view have gone
ahead of late years, but the conditions of tenure in connection with
the ownership of timber, the methods of protection against fire and
other forest losses, the methods of control of cutting operations, and,
most important of all, the regulation of the quantity of timber that
shall be cut and placed upon the markets in the shape of lumber, are
all working still at cross-purposes to prevent the industry from be-
coming anything like as stable as it should be. The result is that in
a period of reduced demand and low prices, the evils of depression are
greatly magnified because of the industry’s inability to help itself.

The tendency of association work in the United States during the
last few years has been to give this matter more attention than in the
past. Advertising campaigns to promote the use of lumber have been
commenced and are showing good results, and they promise to have,
in the long run, a much more significant result than the chief one for
‘which they were designed. They will undoubtedly cause greater
use of lumber, but they will also educate the lumberman himself, that
is to say the manufacturer, the wholesaler and the retailer in such a
manner as to show him far more clearly the ways in which the oppor-
tunities of the past have been neglected. Advertising of lumber wili
show the lumberman chiefly, when it has been well worked out, that
the greater the amount of co-operation they can work out among
themselves, the greater will be the beneficial results. It will show
them that, in connection with over-production, the chief factor has
been the impossibility of getting anything in the form of a definite
conception of the production of the country and its relation to the
demand. It will show them that, working in the dark as to this im-
portant point, the lumberman has been driven by the force of circum-
stances to consider his manufacturing operations from his own indi-
vidual point of view, taking into consideration only the production of
lumber and the marketing of it, irrespective of whether he is doing so
to his own best interest, to say nothing of the interests of others
engaged in the same industry. The way in which these conditions
have led to the use of one kind of lumber for pruposes for which other
kinds were better suited, leading to dissatisfied users and the ultimate
use of substitutes, is now fairly well understood by the lumber indus-
try, thanks to what their own advertising efforts have taught them.

We might go into this situation at far greater length and not
commence to exhaust it. We have only sought to indicate it with
the idea of commending the tendency which is developing so widely
of late towards co-operation and the advertising of lumber products in
the United States. We would like to see a similar development in
Canada. We believe that the lumber industry wi!l not be in any-
thing like its proper place until its advertising efforts have been
subjected to the fullest possible measure of co-operation,
production activities have been subjected to co-operative control to an

~ extent far beyond that which at present exists.

: ~The tendencies toward both of these goals are quite definite in
the United States today and to a small extent also in Cannig: - They

Toronto Trade Discuss Inspection
om Will Consider Adopting Definite Grading Rules for
a Pine, Spruce and Hemlock

e Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto Board of Trade held a
g on February 4th at which the vice-chairman Mr. J. B. Reid
duced a discussion upon grading rules for the inspection of
r. Mr. Reid, who occupied the chair during the meeting, ex-
ed the opinion that it was time the Lumbermen’s Section should
the question of the inspection of pine, spruce and hemlock
and appoint a committee to draw up a set of inspection rules,
should be adopted by the Section and established as the re-
| rules for the city of Toronto. If they carried out such a
hey would be in a position, whenever there was any dispute,
o the rules as a recognized standard for settling all differ-
nion. ‘This has been a long felt want in connection with
of Toronto and in fact of the whole country. He sug-
ey should appoint a committee to work upon the prob-
@ as might be necessary in order to draw up rules that
the majority of the trade. The trouble arising out of the

of grading had been adopted its influence would soon
nection with all branches of the trade, that is to say, re-
e and manufacturing. Not only would many of their

great deal to make the trade more pleasant and to develop
n pleasant friendships among members of the trade.

E. Clark suggested that it might be well also to try and

Reid thought that their best plan would be to get something
ronto first of all, and when they had been successful with

Mr. A. E. Gordon approved of the idea and suggested that as a

years ago by the former Lumbermen’s Section of the

spectors employed at the large Ontario mills, so as to have the

ance could be had. — ;
‘meeting of the Section held on the previous Friday, Mr. W.
ing reported on behalf of the committee appointed to co-
the city architect of Toronto in securing information
the strengths of various Canadian timbers. Mr. Lovering
they had had an interview with the city architect who in-
hem that Mr. John S. Bates, superintendent of the Dominion
‘esting Laboratory at McGill University, Montreal, was
ing an extensive series of tests of Canadian timbers. The
Douglas fir had now been completed and the results were
; to be published. The next series of tests would probably be
ed and white pine, or spruce. The Section decided to write
superintendent of the Testing Laboratories recommending that
ests be made upon red and. white pine.
eresting short addresses were delivered by Mr. W. J. Van-
e B. C. Forest Service who explained the work of the
er Commissioner’s office recently established at Toronto;
ordon of Terry and Gordon, Toronto, and Mr. Hugh A.

enemies to forest preservation in Quebec.

The limit holders are asking also that minimum fine for failing to
‘obey the requirements in respect to permits shall be one hundred
dollars. The present fines are mostly trifling, perhaps $2 and $5, and
do not accomplish their purpose. It is asked that no option of fine
shall be allowed a man found guilty of setting fire to the forest in
order to provide himself employment at fire fighting. Twelve
months should be the minimum sentence. It is asked also that
rangers or other forest officers should have authority to summon any
male adult to help extinguish fires, such persons to receive the
regular remuneration.

Annual Meeting of Mountain Lumbermen

At the annual meeting of the Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’
Association, held recently at Nelson, B. C., officers were elected for the
ensuing year and the secretary’s report on the activities of the associa-
tion was presented. In the report of Secretary I. R. Poole the fol-
lowing figures showing the lumber cut, shipped and the stock on hand
at the end of the last four years were given:

1912 1913 1914 1915

Feet. Feet. Feet. Feet.
[Emober cut ..6.. 282. 420,000,000 386,000,000 235,000,000 145,000,000
Lumber shipped ...... 488,000.00 335,000,000 —- 210,000,000 —-253,000,000
stock, “Dees 312... 2: 188,000,000 218,000,000 243,000,000 135,000,000

In making a comparison of the above figures it was pointed out
that there was a reduction in cut of 90,000,000 feet in 1915 as avainst
timber cut in 1914, and an increase in the sales of about 43,000.000
feet, while the stocks were 108,000,000 feet less than at the same date
in 1914. It was stated that the net value of. the shipments of the
mountain mills during 1915 amounted to $3,162,000, and that the
figures of importation of lumber from the United States during the
last year showed a decrease of 64,000,000 feet in comparison with
those of 1914. This was accounted for by the low price of the
mountain lumber.
Referring to market conditions during the last year the report
said:

The year opened with the lumber industry continuing to lag and
it was not until the crop on the prairie was assured that, any great im-
provement was noticed. During August, September and October a
strong demand for lumber developed, chiefly for the erection of gran-
aries and other buildings for the caring for the great crop. This had
the effect of greatly steadying the declining market.

At the present time, however, prices are far below the figures
obtained in+ethe more favorable years. The net returns for 1915
show an average of $3 lower than the prices of 1914. Business, too,
has moderated during the last two months as compared with the
previous three months, but owing to the real and permanent im-
provement in general business conditions in the country as a whole
it is reasoable to expect a fairly active demand for the next few
months.

The future is brighter than it has been for some years, but there
is nothing to warrant manufacturers increasing their output or the
erection of new nitills, as there is now ample producing capacity to care
for the demands of the near future. The great need of the lumber
business is a staple market and a reasonable volume of production.

Reference was made to the work of the forestry branch of the
Provincial Government, which last year began an active advertising
and market extension campaign. An office was opened in Regina
and a commissioner.appointed for the purpose of keeping the district

‘in touch with the consumer and to encourage the use of British
Columbia lumber. In this connection a unanimous vote of thanks
was passed by the members to the minister of lands and the mem-
bers of the forestry branch at Victoria for the unceasing work that had
been directed toward the establishing of a better market for British
Columbia lumber on the prairies.

The following officers were elected:

President—C. D. McNab.

Vice president—A. J. Lammars.

Secretary-treasurer—I. R. Poole.

Executive committee—H. H. Ross, E.

L. Staples, W. Mark
DeCew and L. D. Rogers. “

Ever since the war broke out members of the Forest Service of
British Columbia have been leaving on furlough for the bigger job
overseas, and they are still doing so. Out of the regular or perman-
ent staff, which in the summer of 1914 before the war numbered about
170 (including female clerks and stenographers), almost one-third
have enlisted to date. In addition over 20 members of the temporary
or summer staff of guards, patrolmen, etc., are known to have enlisted,
and it is very probable that as many more have joined of whom no in-
formation is now available. : é;

New Toronto Wholesalers, J. P. Johnson & Son

J. P. Johnson, Toronto, Ont. A. K. Johnson, Toronto, Ont.

J. P. Johnson and Son is the name of a newly formed wholesale
lumber firm which has opened offices at room 1203 Traders Bank
Bldg., Toronto. The members of the firm are Mr. J. P. Johnson and
Mr. A. K. Johnson, both formerly belonging to the firm of Campbell
and Johnson, Traders Bank Bldg., Toronto.

Mr. J. P. Johnson is one of the best known wholesale lumbermen
in Ontario. He was born in 1864 at Picton, Prince Edward County,
Ontario, on December 11th. His early days were not unlike the
early days of all normal young Canadians. He attended public
and high school ,and when his education was completed, commenced
his business career with his father, Mr. J. S. Johnson in the retail
lumber and coal business at Picton. From that time on, Mr. John-
son has been connected continuously with the lumber business. In
fact from the time he was eight years old, he has been absorbing in-
formation and experience in connection with lumber. He was 16
years of age when he commenced to earn money in his father’s busi-
ness and he devoted his time to this employment for a period of four
years, until his father sold his business to the Rathbun Company.
Then he set out to earn a livelihood elsewhere and secured employ-
ment with the well known firm of J. K. Post & Company, Oswego,
N. Y., wholesale lumber dealers. With this company he had charge
of the inspection of eastern shipments and thus obtained an intimate
knowledge of a wide variety of stocks.

After four or five years of inspection work, Mr. Johnson went on
the road and quickly proved himself a natural born salesman. Sub-
sequently he was engaged for about seven years in the wholesale
hardwood business. Then he went to Toronto and has continued in
the lumber business there, up to the present time. , In Toronto, he
was engaged with the Victoria Harbor Lumber Company for six
years, acting as travelling salesman and becoming one of the most
efficient and widely respected men upon the road. In January 1907,
Mr. Johnson became a member of the firm of the Campbell and John-
son, whom he represented upon the road until the present year when
he made arrangements for starting in business on his own account
with his son Mr. A. K. Johnson.

Mr. A. K. Johnson was born in Brighton, Ont., in 1890 and his
home has been in Toronto for the past eighteen years. He was
educated in Toronto, and previous to associating himself with
the firm of Campbell ad Johnson he was employed by the Canadian
General Electric Company for four years, travelling for them in con-
nection with their branch of illuminating engineering.

In order to become familiar with the requirements of the retail
lumber trade Mr. A. K. Johnson spent several months in the employ
of a Toronto firm of retailers. He has also spent considerable time
in employment at various mills in the north country so as to gain
experience in connection with the production end of the lumber busi-
ness. In Toronto he has devoted much of his time to calling upon
the city trade. He has also called occasionally on the eastern and
western Ontario trade. Mr. A. K. Johnson has many of the char-
acteristics and qualifications of his father and we feel certain that he
will soon make for himself as fine a reputation as a lumber salesman
as his father has made before him.

A fine large office calendar has been sent out by the Atlas Lum-
ber and Manufacturing Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, to their trade
friends. The calendar bears an enlarged photograph showing the
company’s plants and yards.

Selling White Cedar Shingles in Ontario

We are pleased to publish
herewith a portrait of Mr. A. H.
Gilham, who has recently been
appointed Western representative
for the Canadian White Cedar
Shingle Association, and who is
now at Work in Ontario telling
the trade about the good quali-

ties of the [Eastern Canadian
shingles. Mr. Gilham, whose
business address is 78 Pearson

Ave., Toronto, has, during the
past twelve years been connected
with the furniture business, re-
presenting the Andrew Malcolm
Furniture Company, makers of
high grade furniture, Kincardine,
Ont. Before going into the fur-
niture business Mr. Gilham had
an extensive business experience
as a traveller throughout West-
ern Canada from Vancouver to
Winnipeg. His first connection
with the lumber business was
with the Moore Lumber Company of Detroit, Mich.

Being a man of wide experience as a commercial traveller, and —
having such an excellent line of goods to handle as the products of
the Canadian White Cedar Shingle Association, we feel sure that Mr.
Gilham will quickly make an important place for himself among the
trade of Ontario. The appointment of a western representative, —
with headquarters at Toronto, is in line with a decision recently
reached by the Association to work the Ontario market far more
closely than they have in the past. They expect to place extensive
quantities of their shingles in Ontario in future.

Lieut. Joseph Power Back from the Front

After going through the trials and hardships of trench warfare in
Irance and Flanders for nine months, Lieut. Jos. Power, son of Mr.
William Power, M. P., Quebec, P. Q., returned home recently suf-
fering from neurasthenia. While apparently in good health other-
wise, Lieut. Power’s nerves are shattered and, after spending over a
month in hospital in France and England with a severe attack of
trench fever, he was granted two months’ leave. While in the
trenches Lieut. Joseph Power frequently met his younger brother,
Lieut. Charles (Chubby) Power, of the 3rd Battalion who relieved him
in the trenches on many occasions. Chubby Power is now in hos-
pitalin England. He is suffering from eighteen shrapnel wounds all
over his body, but the most serious are in his legs. In a letter which
was received from Chubby recently, he states that he is improving
rapidly.

W. Y. Lloyd, formerly with The Quincy Adams Lumber Com- —
pany, has opened an office as a wholesale lumber dealer at 51 Yonge
Street, Toronto.

A dispatch from Boston, Mass., states that an offer of five cents
apiece for cast-off railway ties has been received by the Boston &
Maine Railroad from the British Government. Formerly the rail-
road burned all its old ties, but orders have now been sent throughout
the system directing that they be saved. Half a million ties are
needed for use in constructing trenches in Frances.

Lieut. Percy Harper Wade Now at the Front

Lieut. Percy Harper Wade, of
the Quebec timber shipping
house of The Harper Wade Ex-
port Company, is one of the many
members of the Canadian lumber
business now on active service at
the front in the cause of human-
ity, liberty and justice. Born in
1887, educated in the High School
Quebec, and having served an
apprenticeship at New Liverpool
Shipping Cove and in the office
of The McArthur Export Com-
pany, Limited, he became a mem-
ber of the firm in 1911. His com-
mission as Lieutenant in the
Queen’s Own Canadian Hussars
dates from 1907, he having en-
tered that force as a trooper. On
the formation of the Fifth
Mounted Rifles for overseas ser-
vice he joined that body as First-

eee Lieutenant in B Squadron, and
ee eure ae To. Beets drilled at Sherbrooke and Valcar-
2 ; tier. When it was decided to
send the Fifth forward for trench duty, instead of cavalry service, in
~ common with the other officers and men he responded to the call, and
is now somewhere in France. His father, Edward Harper Wade, is
the senior Quebec timber exporting merchant, and we trust that after
the final and decisive refeat of the Germans, his son will rejoin him
in the old business.

was called to order by the President, Mr. Clyde Leavitt. The guests
of the evening were Mr. Robson Black, Secretary of the aradiad
Forestry Association and Messrs. Bates and Kynoch of the Dominion

The Secretary’s report showed the Society to be in a growing
_ and flourishing condition, eighteen new members have been added
in the past year, Quebec and Maritime Provinces showi ing the greatest
number of new members. The total membership is now “eighty-
seven.

It was decided to issue a monthly news letter to the members
and to publish a history of the Society. A new caliper for measur-
ing trees, the invention of one of the members was shown. Mr.
R. H. Campbell was elected Chairman of the Ontario Executive.

An informal discussion on the Forestry Situation in New Bruns-

Sudden Death of Robert Macfarlane, Montreal

By the sudden death on Feb-
ruary 5th of Mr. Robert Mac-
farlane, president of R. Macfar-

lane and Company, Limited,
Montreal has lost one of its
oldest lumbermen. Mr. Mac-

farlane died from heart failure,
due to excitement. With two
employees he ascended a ladder
to see whether a chimney fire on
premises adjoining those of the
firm was likely to spread; the
exertion and excitement proved
too much for him, and he col-
lapsed. He was brought into the
offices, and on medical aid being
summoned it was found that he
had passed away.

Mr. Macfarlane was a native of
Montreal—he was born in 1842—
and was educated at the Glasgow

Academy, Glasgow, Scotland.
For 42 years he was engaged in The Late Robert ose ie
the lumber, sash and_ door, Montrea

mouldings and hardwood floor-

ing business. This was established in 1874, and during the earlier
years Mr. Macfarlane worked exceedingly hard to make “the venture
a success. The business was started on a site at the corner of
St. James and Richmond Streets, and has been continued
there ever since. The premises comprise commodious offices and
saw and planing mills. The business expanded steadily and the
equipment was gradually increased. The firm is now one of the
largest of its kind in the city. . In 1905 the firm was converted into a
limited liability company, with Mr. Macfarlane as president.

During the past three years Mr. Macfarlane took only a small
share in the active direction of affairs, this being undertaken by Mr.
Fred S. Macfarlane, the only son, who is vice- _president and-manag-

The late Mr. Macfarlane was a man of very quiet disposition,
taking little or no part in public activity; a hard worker especially
during the early portion of his business career; and exceedingly weli
liked by business friends and employees.

An Interesting Legal Decision

An interesting law suit regarding the responsibility for losses
sustained by loggers on account of the foundering of a tug on which
they were travelling to their camp, has just been concluded in the
supreme court of B. C. Action was brought in this case by a num-
ber of loggers against the Terry Logging Company, the claims _
amounting to $1,222, covering the loss of their effects and wages.
When it foundered the tug was towing a large gasoline launch, and
the evidence brought out was that the loss of the tug resulted from
the frequent breaking away of the gasoline launch. All the loggers
and the cerw were saved, having taken refuge in the gasoline launch
which was able to out-ride the gale. The plaintiffs claim that the
defendents were liable for an error of judgment on the part of the
captain in not turning back to port when requested by the loggers to
do so after the launch had broken away for the first time. Chiet
Justice Hunter dismissed the suit on the ground that the plaintiffs
had no claim as passengers as the vessel was not registered for
carrying passengers and the men were not paying fares. They were
getting free transportation to their logging camp on the tug that was

A Good Word for Canadian Red Cedar
Editor Canada Lumberman: Buffalo, N. Y., Feb.

Business has not really started up in this territory for the
New Year, but every indication promises a fair business and firm
prices.

I had a very nice visit from your representative. When
here we got talking about Canadian red cedar from British Colum-
bia. _ I showed him a piece of 1% in. cedar planed on one side,
about 45 inches. wide. 4 ft. long, that had been in our office for
nearly 8 years, under all sorts of conditions and it had not warped,
split or checked a particle, all of which proves to me,

that you
people ought to take into consideration the real worth of cedar.

They are now using gum for gun stock, and I believe this
cedar is so far superior to it, that there is no comparison between
the two woods.—M. M. Wall, Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Co.

Structural Qualities of British Columbia Fi |

By H. R. MacMillan <n

An address upon “The Structural Qualities of British Columbia
Fir” was delivered recently by Mr. H. R. MacMillan, Special Timber
Trade Commissioner for Canada, before the South African Society of
Civil Engineers, at Cape Town, South Africa. After referring to
South Africa’s timber supply problem in general, Mr. MacMillan con-
tinued in part, as follows :— ‘

The investigation of the properties of Douglas fir now being car-
ried on by the Government of Canada, has not yet been completed,
but the published results of many valuable investigations on the
same timber by the United States Government enable the writer to
lay before the Society data concerning the strength of the timber.
The results given for strength tests are taken from Bulletin 88 of the
United States Forest Service. The Government of Canada is at the
present time carrying on in the National Forest Products Laboratory
at the McGill University a series of investigations into the strength of
Douglas fir timbers, the results of which will soon be published. _

Douglas fir has ben exported to this country for many years
under the name of Oregon Pine. The timber is neither a pine nor a
true fir, but is the sole important representative of the genus
“Pseudotsuga” the specific name being “taxifolia.”

The South African civil engineer, who has seen one construction
material after another advance in price, or decrease in quality, be-
cause of the imminent exhaustion of the supply, will be especially in-
terested to know that in Western Canada alone, the accessible virgin
stands of this timber are sufficient for at least seventy-five years’
supply of the market at the present. rate of consumption.

Four important points upon which engineers will desire to be
informed are :—

1. Strength of Douglas Fir.

2, Durability and known service in important works and rail-
roads.

3. Defects or characteristics to be considered.

4. Comparative cost.

Strength

Strength tests carried out on green Douglas fir specimens 2
inches x 2 inches x 30 inches, free from any defect, gave the fol-
lowing results:—

feet gave the following average stresses :—

All Grades:
Green .. eek 4,000 6,000 1,510,000
CCE Us Sh a 4,467 6,327 1,540,000

The grades used were those under which Douglas fir structural
timbers are exported from the Pacific Coast of Canada and are given
in detail here. :

“Selects—Shall be sound, strong lumber, good grain, well sawed.
Will allow in sizes 6 inches x 6 inches and léss, knots not to exceed 1
inch in diameter; sap on corner one-fourth the width and one-fourth
the thickness; small pitch seams not exceeding 6 inches in leneth. In
‘sizes over 6 inches x 6 inches, knots not to exceed 2 inches in diam-
eter, varying according to the size of the piece; sap on corner not to
exceed 2 inches on both face and edge; pitch seams not to exceed 6
inches in length. Defects in all cases to be considered in connec-
tion with the size of the piece and its general quality.”

“Merchantable.—This grade shall consist of sound, strong lu mber
free from shakes, large, loose, or, rotten knots, and defects that ma
terially impair its strength; well manufactured and suitable for goc
substantial constructional purposes. Will allow occasional yz
tions in sawing or occasional scant thickness, sound knots,
seams, and sap in corners, one-third the width and one-half t
thickness. Defects in all cases to be considered in connectio w
the sie of the piece and its general quality.” a”

“Seconds.—This grade shall consist of lumber having defi
which exclude it from grading as merchantable. Will allow
and defects which render it unfit for good substantial construct
purposes, but suitable for an inferior class of work.” . a

The grade almost exclusively imported into South Africa is “
chantable.” This grade, while suitable for all timber co
work, should not be depended upon for higher class co
such as railway truck and carriage building. The grades ac
this purpose are the “Selects” defined above and the “C
include only the highest quality of timber and are defined a:
lows,—“Sound lumber well sawn, one side and two edges free
knots and other defects.” ce,

Ten to twenty per cent. of the lumber output of the De
region will grade “Clears” and “Selects.” These two grades
for shipbuilding, railway truck and carriage building, joiner
ing and such high-class purposes, where pitchpine is now us
tensively in South Africa. No pitchpine is used within 1,50
of the Douglas fir region of Canada or the United States, its
for all purposes having been taken by Douglas fir. Don
however, is now shipped into the pitch-pine producing region

These strength values, together with the comparative lig
of weight of the timber, 33 Ibs. per cubic foot, air-dry, the fa

with which it may be worked, render it eminently suitable fo

Africa and resawn after arrival. The exporting mills of Canada wi
upon order saw timber to any possible size. pe

Durability

The durability of Douglas fir may not be described in
exact terms as its strength. Unfortunately, though it
exploited for over half a century, no complete records have b
of the length of service that it has rendered in different uses
varying conditions. "ee
The durability has been affected not only by the conditio
soil, moisture, light and heat, under which the timber was u
also by the degree to which the timber was seasoned before
used. Thoroughly air-dried timber, of course, resists de Ly.
longer period than timber put to use while still green. edi «

The development of the Douglas fir region in Canada is of S
recent a date, and the changes have been so rapid, involving the «
molition of buildings after a few years’ use, to make way for bett
that it is difficult to obtain many reliable records of old builc
of the Hudson’s Bay Company, built half a century ago. Do
fir timbers were used in these buildings for sills, posts, stringers anc
are yet sound and in good condition. The annual precipitation,
where the buildings stand, is 27 inches, all in the form of rain.

The oldest sawmills in the country were heavily framed with
Douglas fir timbers 12 inches x 12 inches to 16 inches x 16 inches.
Several sawmills are still in existence, varying in age from 25 to 40
years, in which the Douglas fir timbers are sound and have no

ved. The conditions of service have been difficult as the mills
and in or on the edge of-the water, are subject to enormous
ains through the handling of 8 to 12 ton logs and the running of
y machines at high speed. The precipitation in the sawmill
ct is 60 to 70 inches per year, in the form of rain. —

A yery important use of Douglas fir in Western Canada is for
ad and highway bridge and trestle construction. Local varia-
jn climate, foundation, and stress, greatly affect the life of such
tures. No proper records have been kept of the life of timber
ictures under varying conditions. Experience shows however,
vith no preservative treatment, Douglas fir highway bridges
life of 15 to 18 years. One case is on record of a highway
f Douglas fir constructed 36 years ago and still in use. The
n untreated Douglas fir railroad bridge is 12 to 15 years.

cause of teredo attacks, showed no sign of teredo work and was as
sound as the day it was driven. All piling except the most temporary
is now creosoted before being used. The top of a creosoted pile is
usually fitted with a ring, and the upper 8 to 10 feet is sometimes also
wound with 15 to 20 turns of wire to prevent the splitting of the pile
in driving. Should the pile split, the other layer of creosoted wood
is opened and teredos are enabled to enter the uncreosoted interior.
Creosoted Douglas fir piling is now used extensively in British harbor
works. The piling and similar heavy timber used in the construction
of the Panama Canal was Douglas Fir.

This timber is now considered one of the most satisfactory in
North America for mining purposes. The life in various mines of
course varies widely, both because of the pressure which in some cases
crushes the timber in a few days and because of the conditions con-
ducive to the development of fungi which in some mines limit the
life of timber to a few months. Douglas fir will however, if not sub-
jected to a crushing strain, usually give a life in a permanent situa-
tion in a mine of 5 to 8 years even if not given a preservative. Where
a longer life is desired the timber is usually treated with creosote, a
3 per cent. solution of zine chloride, or carbolineum. The creosote
treatment is now the most general.

A class of timbers subjected to much the same severe conditions
as mine timbers, are the snowshed timbers used to such an extent to
protect the mountain railroads from heavy snowfall, snow slides or
rock slides. The timbers in the snowsheds are frequently subject to
great pressure, are always damp and very liable to fungus attack.
Snowshed timbers painted with carbolineum have given a life of
twelve years in the Canadian Rockies and are still in sound service-
able condition.

Wooden freight cars are manufactured in large quantities in
Canada, both for home use and for export. The chief timber used

in their construction is Douglas fir, for carsills, framing, flooring, sid-
ing, and roofing.

Tests of carsills, 5 inches by 8 inches by 180 inches give the fol-
lowing strength values :— ;

Average, 41

No trouble has been found with the timber either because of lack
of strength or length of durability in the severe Canadian climate. It
is now accepted for this purpose by the Great Western Railroad of
Iengland, the Paris-Lyons-Mediterranean and State Railroads of
France. It has been found cheaper, lighter and quite as durable as
pitchpine.

Characteristics to be Considered

The great size of the Douglas fir trees places this timber in an
enviable position for freedom from defects. No timber is however
absolutely free from defects and all timber varies in quality with cer-
tain factors. A knowledge of the importance to attach to various
characteristics of the timber must lead to its wider use.

The strength of Douglas fir varies directly with its dry weight;
the heavier the wood the greater is its strength.

The strength of Douglas fir does not vary with the rate of
growth to such an extent as is commonly supposed. It may be
stated however that as a rule timber which averages less than 8
annual rings to the inch is below the average in strength, that the
strongest timbers are usually found to average between 12 in 16
annual rings to the inch and that the timber which averages over 16
rings to the inch is again below the average in strength.

The two defects of Douglas fir to be considered most seriously in
grading the timber for structural purposes are knots and cross grain.
The size and position of the knots and the condition of the wood
around them are to be taken into consideration. The presence of
knots affects the strength of the timber in compression parallel to
the grain as follows:—

Knots over 1% inches diameter ............ 22 per cent.
Knots % inch to 1% inches diameter ........ 14 per cent.
Knots under % inch diameter .............. 6 per cent.
The decrease in compression strength at the elastic limit is :—
nots over 1% inches diameter .............. 22 per cent. _
Knots % inch to 1% inches diameter ........ 13 per cent.
Pies eed OT ITEC on vince Mo eK a's ws vos 5 per cent.

_ The presence of knots in beams affects chiefly the modulus of rupture.

=
2. ., ‘

co =? * .¢ al _&

ms CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

The fibre stress at the elastic limit and the modulus of elasticity are
less influenced by knots than by the quality of the wood.

The conclusions to be drawn from the investigations into the
strength of Douglas fir are that-——

(a) Sound knots of one inch in diameter or less which do not
cause a marked disturbance in the grain of the timber should
not be regarded as defects in structural timber.

Sound knots greater than one inch in diameter should not
be regarded as defects when they occur on the vertical faces
of the beam and at a distance from the edge equal to one
quarter the height of the timber.

Knots and cross grains which interrupt the continuity of the
erain within two inches of the edge should not be admitted
except in the lowest grade. :
(d) Diagonal grain, due to sawing, if of a greater slant than 1 in

45 should not be allowed in the higher grades.

The availability of Douglas fir for South African construction
purposes must depend upon the price. The amount of accessible
timber in the Douglas fir region, the great number of mills manufac-
turing it (over 4,000), the entire absence of any working arrangement
among the mills to restrict output to demand has and must continue
to operate to bring about low selling prices. The price of the
structual grades of timber is now IF’. A. S. (free alongside ship) about
five pence to eight pence a cubic foot, depending upon the sizes
ordered. These prices may be expected to continue with little or no
increase, for many years.

As the facilities for creosoting timbers on a large scale for use
in different parts of the country, do not exist in South Africa, creo-
soted timber would need to be imported in that form. Creosoted tim-
ber, for railway sleepers or piling varies according to the price of
creosote and the character of the treatment specified, but on the aver-
age in normal times might be expected to cost 1s. 4d. per cubic foot
EA. S.

The prices ex.. ships slings African port for various classes of
timber would be, on a normal freight rate of 60 shillings a thousand
feet superficial or board measurement (12 board feet to the cubic
foot).

These prices are wholesale. To them must be added the handling
cost at the unloading port, the profit of the timber importer and the
cost of delivering the timber to the point of consumption. Even with
these added charges it will probably be found in South Africa that
Douglas fir will for years be one of the cheapest construction materials,
not only so far as initial cost is concerned, but also when cost per
year’s service is reckoned.

Forest Protection in Canada

The Commission of Conservation has just issued a report on
“Forest Protection in Canada, 1913-1914,” which contains much in-
formation respecting the work of the provincial forest services and
of the federal departments intrusted with the care of our forests.
Forest fire protection is assuming a large place in public attention.
It is obvious that, if Canada is to continue as a wood-producing
country, she must conserve her resources of this natural product. The
report treats exhaustively of the fire protection of forest lands along
railway rights-of-way. Through co-operative action, great headway

has been made in securing the reduction of forest losses through fires.

traceable to railway causes. ‘The forests of British Columbia and
on Dominion lands in the West have been dealt with in reports con-
taining the results of special studies conducted by Dr. C. D. Howe
and Mr. J. H. White. The Trent watershed in Ontario, has also re-
ceived especial attention, in a report of an investigation by Dr. C. D.
Howe in the townships of Burleigh and Methuen. This district is im-
portant in that, while of very little value as an agricultural area, it is
being repeatedly overrun by forest fires and the little remaining
merchantable timber destroyed. It is suggested that the area be
placed under the control of the Dominion Forestry Branch for protec-
tion from fires and for reforestation.

be sent forward in one, two or three shipments following June, 1916.
Specifications and information regarding prices can be secured from
the Department of Trade and Commerce.

Box Shooks Required in Canning Industry

Mr. MacMillan has also forwarded an inquiry from a large can-
ning company in Cape Town for box shooks to be shipped to arrive in
South Africa in May or June, 1916 :—

A sample of this box is being forwarded. In normal times it
cost 1s. 5d. delivered at Cape Town. In October, 1915, it cost 1s. 7d.;
the price is now higher, owing to the increased freight -

These boxes should be shipped dry, and be made of white spruce,
not painted, and where tops, sides, bottoms or ends are made of more
than one piece, should be tongued and grooved. The tops and

‘bottoms, sides and ends, should be bundled separately and labelled.

Quotations are desired c. i. f£. Cape Town for 5,000 of No. 14, and

Forestry Association Holds Annual

Addresses delivered tell of practical work in
co-operative fire patrol

The Annual Meeting of The Canadian lorestry Association was
held at Ottawa on January 20th and was well attended. One of the
most interesting events of the meeting was an address by S. L.
deCarteret, President of The St. Maurice Iorest Protective Associa-
tion, who outlined the work of the association. He described how
determined action on the part of a group of Quebec limit holders had
succeeded in cutting down the loss from forest fires to an almost
negligible degree. In the course of his address, Mr. deCarteret
brought out many remarkable facts supporting the argument for co-
operative effort by the lessees of limits. Indeed, the speaker proved
conclusively that so far as results are concerned, no government sys-
tem has yet reached the same class of efficiency. Since the associa-
tion came into existence over 800 fires were extinguished, over 80
per cent. of which were put out by the rangers themselves, without
outside assistance or extra expense. In the same period sixty-three
thousand fire notices and signs have been posted, and twenty-two
thousand leaflets and booklets distributed. No less than twelve
thousand square miles of timber lands are comprised in the territory
over which the St. Maurice inspectors and rangers hold sway. This
area is divided into six divisions each in charge of an inspector, these
divisions being further subdivided into thirty-two districts or patrols,
seventeen of which are patrolled by men in canoes, seven by men on
horseback, three by men on foot, one by man in lookout station, and
four railway patrols by men in motor cars. During the past season
eighteen special rangers were put on the drives with a construction
crew. Mr. deCarteret emphasized the high importance of close sup-
ervision of the rangers and their work so that the maximum value may
be obtained from the season’s services of each man.

The cost of maintaining the protective services of the St. Maurice
system, which, with the Lower Ottawa Forest Protective Association
are the only two organized thus far in Quebec, is met by assessment
based on the acreage holdings of the members.

The educational work carried on by the large body of rangers is
particularly directed towards the settlers in the new districts who,
through careless burning of their cleared areas, have set on fire very
large bodies of timber. The educational work coupled with vigorous
prosecutions, has reduced the number of settler’s fires to a striking
extent year after year, so that this cause threatens finally to eliminate
itself.

Mr. DeCarteret strongly advocated the duplication of the St.
Maurice system by the limit holders of the Upper Ottawa, and there
are good prospects of this step being taken in the not distant future.

That present methods of gathering the forest-crop in Canada are
extremely wasteful has long been admitted by lumbermen and forest
engineers alike. How this waste can be largely eliminated was the
subject of an address by Hon. W. R. Brown, President of the New
Hampshire Forestry Commission and Managing Director of The
Brown Corporation of La Tuque, Quebec; Mr. Brown is also Assistant
Treasurer of the Berlin Mills Company of Berlin Mills, N. H., the
largest corporation of its kind in the world. The points of the paper,
therefore, were the result of practical experience.

Mr. Brown instanced a tract of forest where both hardwoods and
softwoods were represented. A company having use only for the
softwoods, might not find enough in the tract to make logging a pay-
ing venture. Their problem immediately would be to find a manu-
facturer who could use the rock maple for shoe lasts, a jobber to cut
white ash for axe handles, a tannery to take the hemlock bark, and
soda or excelsior mills to use the poplar wood.

As an instance of cutting down waste gn another woods opera-
tion, the speaker said that dynamite was now used on rocks
_and obstructions in a river before driving commences, instead of on
the logs during the process of a drive. This avoided a large break-
age. Again, at the mills, narrow band saws are now being used in
place of the wide circular saw, thus saving many cords of wood in a
_day’s operations. In the up-to-date saw mill all spruce, fir and hem-
lock waste in sawing are converted into chips, and the remaining
waste is diverted into the boilers as fuel.

Mr. Brown spoke in detail of the up-to-date, economical methods
of apportioning. each wood to its best and most convenient use—cedar
going to shingles and fence posts, chips to the sulphite plant, etc. The
use of wood fibre for thousands of purposes was only in its infaney in
America; it was now employed successfully for underground con-
duits.

The journey of the tree from the forest to the consumer now pro-
duced such widely different articles as chloroform and cloth, water
pipe and lard, and yet the possibilities inherent in the ingredients of
woods had hardly been scratched.

Mr. R. H. Campbell, Dominion Director of Forestry, spoke on
“Forestry and the Future,” applied on broad lines to the present

situation in Canada and in Europe. He showed that ie a
military and industrial power and “preparedness” which has so
enabled Germany to hold out against the allies was due to her org
ization whereby she turned all her resources to the best account, a
particularly her forests. Canada was determined to exert all strengt
possible to aid in the winning of the war and in developing the Em
pire afterwards, and one of the ways in which she could do this was
by a thorough and systematic “mobilization” of her forests instead o
the haphazard exploitation that had taken place in the past. H
knocked on the head the old idea that a forest country could neve
be highly developed industrially, by showing that Belgium, w
population of 652 per square mile (as against Canada’s 2 per

In different parts of Canada, as in the Trent Valley, some def

Laboratories of Canada had been established by the Depart

cotton by using wood fibre. Whether that were so or not, at
one of the materials required in making cordite, was a prod

Conservation Commission Mee

Important addresses read and resolutions passed—Fx
protection making progress

Many of the addresses delivered at the annual m
Commission of Conservation, held on January 18th
well as some of the discussions which followed these papers w
considerable interest to lumbermen. The meeting was presided
by Senator Edwards of Ottawa, and another prominent lumbe
Mr. W. B. Snowball, of Chatham, N. B., also a member of t a
mission, took part in the discussions.

Mr. Ellwood Wilson, forester for the Laurentide Pulp. ‘Paper
Co., spoke on “Fire Protection from the Timber Owner's Viewpoint.”
The laws of Quebec, he said provided certain penalties” for timber
owners who failed to protect their limits. These laws were now u
dergoing revision. Tire protection officers should have no other —
with as preventing and putting out fires required special training.
There were many burnt-over areas which were likely to be thrown
back on the government and the problem of reforesting these would
have to be dealt with. The area of Quebec, burnt over and producing —
no crop, meant a loss to the provincial government of $15, ,000,000 in
50 years. Railway fires, fortunately, were becoming a thing of the
past, except on the National Transcontinental, which ought hl set ¢ Li)
good example. " : f

It was quite possible that aeroplanes or hydro-acmaeeee eon ;
come to be used in fire patrol work, though, at the ini 5-
cost, $10,000 per machine, was prohibitive. However, as-
with aeroplanes could patrol an immense area, the scheme oug
feasible. The speaker closed by pointing out that the
of our forests was a patriotic duty, that there were social pe
as well as in war, and among these must be included those who
in their responsibility to protect the nation’s resources. .

secret of successful advertising, he said, was “affirmation and itera- —

had persuaded match manufacturers to paste fire-warning notices on —
their match- boxes, ammunition makers to put them on boxes. Santi

Lumber Trade in the West Indies

The demand for lumber last year in the British West Indies was
less than usual in all the islands except Trinidad. The value of the
total import has been about £450,000 annually, and though the exact
figures are not yet available it is probable that the falling off last year
in the import will exceed £75,000. The unsettled condition of trade
has affected lumber perhaps more than any other important item,
building operations being generally suspended for the present. In
the smaller islands the demand has not fallen off so appreciably as in
the larger colonies, but has kept well up to the average. In Jamaica
«und Barbados the decline has been substantial, amounting to
£50,000 in the former and £35,000 in the latter, most of which in
Barbados was in shooks and staves. It is probable that Canadian
pine and spruce suffered rather more than pitch-pine from the United
States.

There has been a steady increase in prosperity in Trinidad, and
this island has probably felt the effects of the war less than any other

of the West Indies.

The requirements of British Guiana for white pine, spruce and

pitch-pine value annually about £50,000.

Variation in Weight and Strength of Timber

By J. A. Newlin*

Timber is looked upon as an exceedingly variable material with-
out any definite idea as to just what the term, exceedingly, implies.
It is the purpose of this paper to point out the causes of variability in
timber and to give a more definite idea as to the extent to which’each
cause influences the properties of wood. .

In view of the fact that the causes of variation in weight are
fewer and the resulting variations different than in the case of
strength properties, the two will be considered separately and the
variation in the weight of wood will be taken up first.

Variation in Weight of Wood

Any piece of wood selected promiscuously may contain anywhere
from 4 per cent. moisture, as in- some kiln-dried material, to two
times as much moisture by weight as wood material, as in occasional
pieces of white fir. In view of this fact it is necessary to divide wood
into three groups as to moisture in order to effect a definite compari-
son. These groups represent a maximum amount of moisture as in
green wood, wood with no moisture, or oven dry wood, and .wood
with an intermediate percentage of moisture present, or air dry wood.

The weight of green wood depends upon the weight of the wood
substance itself, the moisture content, and the weight of other con-
tained substances such as resin. The various species contain widely
different amounts of moisture in the living tree; for example, white
ash and black locust are always comparatively dry; black ash and the
oaks have about twice as much moisture, and chestnut and buckeye
have three times as much as the white ash; the white and red cedars
are comparatively dry while cypress and white fir contain large
amounts of moisture.

Position in the tree also affects moisture content. Most hard-
wood show a fairly uniform distribution of moisture throughout the
tree and the variation in the hardwood species is comparatively small.
The conifers, on the other hand, show a wide variation in moisture
content. In the same tree, as a rule, a large difference in the per-
centage of moisture exists between the heart and sapwood and, in
some instances, between the upper and lower parts of the tree. Long-
leaf pine and most other conifers have very low moisture contents
in the heartwood and very high in the sapwood, causing young thrifty
trees to run heavier than old overmature trees of the same species.
Tamarack and cypress are exceptions, having fairly uniform moisture
contents throughout the tree. Sugar pine and western larch, due to
resinous material as well as water, are very heavy at the butt.

Variation of 5 per cent. above or below the average weight per
cubic foot for a given species are to be expected in the case of species
having a fairly uniform moisture content. This variation may, how-
ever, run as high as 20 per cent. occasionally. With species that do
not have a uniform moisture content about 10 per cent. variation in
the weight per cubic foot may be expected with occasional trees
varying as much as 40 per cent. These figures apply when consid-
ering small amounts of the wood, such as timber from a single tree.
In larger shipments, as would be expected, the average weight is
much more likely to be nearer the average value for the species,
although in the conifers, as was previously pointed out, the character
of the stand would very materially influence the weight per cubic foot.

Air dry weight varies largely on account of the wide variation of
moisture content implied by the term. Some species lose the mois-
ture in one-tenth the time of others. Some material is airdried to
reduce its shipping weight and is considered dry when it ceases to
lose moisture fairly rapidly, while for some of the more exacting
uses the material will be carefully dried for months or even years
until it reaches as low a moisture content as possible under the condi-
tions and moisture within the stick has become uniformly distributed.
For example, in airdry telephone poles of cypress the moisture con-
tent may be over 40 per cent. of the oven-dry weight of the wood,
while for high-class finish lumber of the same material it will prob-
ably be below 10 per cent. Thus it is seen that different conditions
of airdrying may affect the weight of a species so that one class of
material will be only about three-fourths as heavy as material of an-
other class. However, for any given class of timber the figure is
fairly uniform and the weight per cubic foot will have about the same
percentage variations as in the green hardwoods.

The weight per cubic foot of absolutely dry, or ovendry material,
varies somewhat less in percentage than the weight of either green or
airdry timber. The timber from any given tree will one-half the
time fall within 4 per cent. of the average value with occasional values
as’much as 16 per cent. above or below the average. These varia-
tions are about the average for most species. The longleaf pine and
Douglas fir, however, show variations about one and one-half times
as large as those given.

Variation in density, or over-dry weight per cubic foot, is one of

The variation between species is very great when op

Central British Columbia Forests

Timber resources which will bring in great revenue and
profit when markets have been developed

The forests of Central and Northern British Columbia, especially
in parts of the interior, are so far practically untapped, except for
local uses, and their great extent and value are not widely known.
This is: largely due to the fact that up to the present, transportation
facilities have been lacking and the timber has been, therefore, com-
mercially inacessible. For this reason the lumber industry of British
Columbia so far has been practically confined to the forests of the
Southern coast and Southern interior. Conditions have been changed,
however, Some of the best timber areas have been opened up by the
completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific. Further large areas will be
made accessible on the completion of the Pacific Great Eastern and
the Canadian Northern. Undoubtedly in that part of the province a
flourishing lumber industry will develop sooner or later—how rapidly
depending, of course, on the markets.

Central British Columbia lies approximately between latitudes 51
degrees and 57 degrees, and takes in the whole width of the province.
(Latitude 51 degrees is at the north end of Vancouver Island, and
passes through Revelstoke or near it. Latitude 57 degrees is north
of Fort Graham, on the Finlay River. In includes the forest districts
of Kamloops, Lillooet, Prince Rupert, Hazelton, Fort George and Tete
Jaune. In other words, it includes all of British Columbia at present
under forest administration except the southern tier of forest districts.)

The total area of Central British Columbia is over 106 million
acres, or nearly half the province. North of Central British Columbia
there is an additional area of 70,000,000 acres. It lies between lati-
tudes 57 degrees and 60 degrees—the northern boundary of the prov-
ince—and may be called the real Northern British Columbia. It is
neatly as large as Norway. Little is yet known of the timber re-
sources of that part of British Columbia except that practically all of
the country below timberline is wooded, and that there is in the
aggregate a very large amount of timber there, especially pulp timber.

: It is conservatively estimated that 80 million acres of the total
106 million acres is forested. Allowing 10 million acres—a liberal
estimate—for potential agricultural land, there remains 70,000,000
acres of absolute forest land valuable only for growing timber, and in
part for summer grazing. Probably at least 40.000,000 acres of this
is capable of growing merchantable timber. The present stand is
estimated to be at least 80 billion feet b. m., and is probably nearer
100 billion—or about one quarter the total stand of timber in the
province.

The annual growth may be estimated at 100 board feet per year,
or four billion feet b. m. per year on the 40,000,000 acres. This is
not far short of the total cut of Canada at present. Reckoned as
pulpwood, the total quantity is at least 200 million cords, and the an-
nual growth 8 million cords. This latter figure is approximately
twice the present yearly consumption of pulpwood in the United
States.

Complete utilization of the present stand would yield the prov-
ince forty million dollars in royalty alone. It would distribute in
the neighborhood of a billion dollars in logging costs, represented by
wages, supplies, etc.; and 75 to 90 per cent. of that would go directly
to the community.

Complete utilization of the annual growth would each year yield
two million dollars in royalty alone, and distribute around fifty
million dollars in logging costs in the province.

Before there can be any permanent and important increased de-
velopment of the lumber industry as a whole. however, new markets
and bigger markets are needed. There is mill capacity in Southern
British Columbia now to nearly double the present lumber production
if the surplus could be sold, and unless markets are enlarged and a
bigger demand created, any increase in lumber production by one
section of the province—Central British Columbia, for example—
would be made at the expense of other sections.

The development of bigger lumber markets is one of the most
important tasks facing the timberholders. the lumbermen and the
government of British Columbia today. It is a task which will re-
quire and deserves their best efforts, because on its successful ac-
complishment the commercial future of the province is dependent to
a greater degree than is generally understood.

William Anderson. a pioneer lumberman of Ottawa died on
February lst, after a short illness. The late Mr. Anderson was in
his sixty-seventh year. He was born in Almonte in 1847, and went
to Ottawa when sixteen years of age. He was for fortv vears con-
nected with J. R. Booth Lumber Company, during which time he
was known as Mr. J. R. Booth’s right hand man. He is survived
by his widow, four sons and four daughters.

Set a Goal and Then Go To It

If any lumberman thinks he hasn't any “kid blood” left in him
let him try this on himself and, if he puts up a sale limit and “goes
to it” and wins out and if he doesn’t send me the price of a hat for
suggesting it to him, and causing him to make at least a thousand
dollars more than he would have had he not tried it, I'll buy him a
suit of clothes. ;

You will make a thousand, too, if you do just what Iam going to
tell you I intend doing and shall do it, too, if I-live; but the trouble
with lots of you fellows is you say, “Oh that Dutchman is crazy,” and
pass it up, and the Dutchman goes ahead and has the extra thousand
at the end of the year and you look up some other good advice to
-read and not try. Listen—You laughed at me when I told you to act
square with the bankers and charge interest on your old accounts—
but I went ahead and charged it and I have credited up my discount
and interest account with $12,000 since then and you have kept calam-
ity howling about, “People not paying their debts.” You tried to beat
the banker, but you beat yourself, and the fellows that you helped
to beat the banks out of the interest are buying from your competi-
tors and knocking you to beat the band.

I am glad to see a whole lot of fellows are trying out these ideas
and they write me once in awhile and thank me, while others take
the idea and claim it as original, or tell people they started it. Well,
I don’t care, what I want to do is to remedy your conditions, and |
don’t hand out anything that I don’t try out first myself either, and
if I didn’t dig up something good once in a while I guess the boss
would fire me—but maybe he just forgot to, ard this will remind him
of it.

The “Doctor’s” Big Sales Campaign

Now, I am going to tell you of the big sales campaign that [ am
putting on. There is going to be the hardest fought lumber battle
in my district in 1916. Somebody is going to get out of the business
or somebody is going to be pretty near punctured.

Well, to stimulate things I made only one resolution, which was,
“Resolved, that I will stick to my friends in 1916,” and I am going to

; do it. And as I interpret the Golden Rule they now have to stick
to me—don’t they?

I put in my window today a center-piece which reads as follows:

We have set our
1916 sales at $90,000,
and we need everyone
of our friends to help
us reach the goal.
I then signed it, as did my entire office force.
me know that I am going to do just what I say.
Now some of you “clams” who think you can in an underhand
way put one over somebody, will say I am a fool for letting people
know what amount I sell and tell them all my business, but while I
may be a fool—it takes a fool for luck, don’t you see.

How Much of Each and the Answer

Some said, “Why didn’t you make it an even $100,000?” I told
them I didn’t think I could sell but $90,000 and would be satisfied with
selling that much, but no less. I divided out the $90,000 sales as

2 \ Rules for Preventing Mill Fires

The following ten rules for the prevention of fires have been

drawn up by The National Lumber Manufacturers Inter-Insurance

Exchange :— '
4. All casks and fire pails must be kept full at all times. Under

“no circumstances are fire pails permitted to be used for any other
purpose.
2. Fire hose attached to standpipe must not be removed from its
position, and must not be used for ordinary purposes.

3. All fire doors and shutters must be closed and fastened at
night. 2

_ 4. Greasy or oily rags and cotton waste must be deposited in
“Oily Waste Cans” specially provided for that purpose, these cans to
F be taken to the boiler house and contents burned after each day’s
- — work.
ty 5. Steam pipes must be kept clear of all combustible matter and
must never be allowed to remain in contact with wood.

6. Line shafting must be kept clean. Dust and dirt must not be
allowed to accumulate on bearings. When oiling the journals, all
dirt and dust on shaftings and bearings should invariably be brushed
_ off. A whisk broom may be used for this purpose.
a: 7. Drip cups under bearings must be emptied regularly. Oil
- must not be allowed to drip on floor beneath bearings or the sur-
rounding woodwork. ,

8. During operation and repairs all shavings and debris of all
kinds to be removed from the building each night, and after repairs
are completed all unused material to be removed from the building.
~ 9. No smoking will be allowed on these premises.

10. All employees are cautioned to keep the premises clean.

Foremen and Superintendents are expected to see that these rules
are faithfully observed.
tions or violating any of these rules are liable to instant dismissal.

Newfoundland’s Trade in Pit Props During 1915

a The Council of the Board of Trade of St. John’s, Newfoundland,
in its seventh annual report refers as follows to the trade in pit
i, , Props: — 5 ; i
_—~—sS»' The Government permitted the export of Pit Props in 1915; and
or the cutting of this wood provided very necessary earning power last
winter. Attention having been drawn to a report that has been
laid on the table of the House of Commons, containing statements re-
E garding Pit props from Newfoundland which were not in accordance
with the facts, the Council forward to the Board of Trade, London, a
8 representation setting forth the actual facts. The export of Pit props
; ie year ending Dec. 31st, 1915, is 69,454 cords, valued at
$373,682. Our entrance into the timber trade of the United King-
_ dom has resulted in the expenditure of some $300,000 among our wage
earners during the past year, and it is likely that as much as $500,000
_ will be similarly expended during 1916. The prices paid by buyers,
however, have been too low to give our contracts any fair margin of
profit, commensurate with the financial outaly and work involved,
nd the business has consequently failed to attract organized capital
any great extent. This position is in noticeable and regrettable
trast to features of the timber trade in Canada and in the United
dom. In Eastern Canada a flourishing condition exists among

timber dealers, under the influence of war prices paid for lumber and
kindred products, while in the United Kingdom timber generally, and
Pit props particularly, have risen to prices previously unknown. The
advantage appears to have gone altogether to the British shipping or
importing interests, and the Newfoundland contractor is merely
“marking time” in the Pit prop industry until better prices are paid.

Red Pine Deals Required in South Africa

A Durban firm, who are the largest lumber importers in South
Africa, are desirous of making a small trial purchase of Canadian red
pine deals, so states Mr. H. R. MacMillan, Special Trade Commis-
sioner, in-a communication to the Department of Trade & Commerce,
Ottawa. The object of this purchase is to determine if these deals
will be as satisfactory in the Durban market as Swedish deals. The
shipment received about ten years ago was unsatisfactory and, since
that time, this company has purchased no red Canadian deals. Red
Canadian deals are, however, now readily accepted at Cape Town and
should be quite as saleable in the Durban market.

This company wish to secure from a very reputable Catiadian
exporter, 10 standards of red deals, 3-inch by 9-inch, in the usual Can-
adian assortment of length, and equal in grade to Swedish No. 3.
They also wish to secure 10 standards of red deals, 3-inch by 9-inch,
assorted lengths, 20 feet and up. or this small shipment they are
willing to pay £20 per standard c. i. f. Durban, and will accept up to
the end of March loading.

The shipper may draw at sight upon the company for payment in
full.

This trial order, though small, is of great importance in opening
up the Durban and Johannesburg market, and the firm exporting
should write to this company giving information as to the possibility
of developing an export in red deals.

Canadians interested may obtain the name of the firm in question
on application to the Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa.

Prices of Broom Handles in Great Britain

With further reference to articles appearing in the Weekly Bulle-
tin Nos. 609 and 619 of the Department of Trade and Commerce, on,
the market for broom handles in Great Britain, Mr. Harrison Watson,
Trade Commissioner, London, writes the Department that the situa-
tion has recently been eased by the receipt of supplies from the United
States and that prices have dropped considerably from the extreme
figures current last spring.

The following are the prices quoted for broom handles at pre-
sent, the figures as given being confirmed from two different sources:

60 in. x 1% in. Ist quality... .28s. Od. >.

These prices are all per gross c. i. f. London, Liverpool, Bristol,
or other United Kingdom port.

Large quantities of broom handles are exported to Great Britain
from Finland, Sweden and the United States. Although Swedish
whitewood and redwood squares 1%-inch by 1%-inch by 51-inch, free
from knots, are being imported at £14 7s. 6d. per standard c. i. f., since
the outbreak of the war, Douglas fir has also been used and found
satisfactory. The greater part of the broom handle supply, however,
is imported ready manufactured. The varieties imported are spruce.
basswood, maple or beech. Spruce and basswood are preferred be-
cause of their light weight. Broom handles must be smooth. The
only complaint against Canadian broom handles imported up to the
present time has been that they were not finished sufficiently smooth,
and that consequently they had to be graded as 2 and 3.

Restigouche and Miramichi Cuts Reduced
The lumber cut on the Restigouche and Miramichi rivers, New
Brunswick, will be about seventy-five per cent. of what they cut last
year, according to recent reports. Small operators in the southern
part of the province will cut about twenty-five per cent. of what they
cut last year, but those on the upper St. John waters will take out
about fifty to sixty per cent. of last year’s cut.

The Waterous [engine Works Company Ltd., Brantford, Ont..
lave sent out a fine large office calendar to their numerous friends
and customers. The calendar pad is a large one with bold figures
which stand out well from a distance. The calendar bears a large
illustration of the company’s plant and a number of small illustrations
of their important products.

Looking for Substantial inprovdenii 1
Editor Canada Lumberman: Winnipeg, Janu
We look for a very substantial-improvement in the volume of
ness during the first few months of the spring as compared -with t
months of previous years. The fact that the farmers, through the sal
crops, have been able to liquidate their liabilities to such a great e exte
many of them have money available for building operations, is bound t op rc a
duce a larger volume of business than in ordinary years. The total volun
of business in the west will, however, not come up to former years, 8 ‘

The building of cities and of new towns has, in past years, been a inomenal

Economy in the Handling of Stocks

Modern methods of handling lumber and shingles were demon-
ted recently at the plant of the Windsor Lumber Company, of
ndsor, Ont., where cars are being unloaded and the lumber con-
ed to the separate piles, two men performing the service of four.

The “Kendall” Gang Circular

; For a number of years the Wm. Hamilton Company, Limited, of
_ Peterborough, Ont., have been manufacturing a machine known as
the “Kendall” Gang Circular, a cut of which can be seen elsewhere
in this issue, designed and patented by Mr. I. N. Kendall, the well-
known consulting millwright, of Ottawa, Ont. This machine has
been designed for the express purpose of manufacturing into more
and better lumber small logs which it is not found profitable to put
_ through the circular or band saws. It has indeed filled a long-felt
want in this regard and from the number of well satisfied users of it
_ in Canada today it is bound to command the attention of every wide-
awake lumberman who is looking for a better and quicker way to
turn his small logs into merchantable lumber.
The company have furnished us with the following description of
_ these machines: they are made in three sizes to cut 8-in., 10-in., and
_ 12-in. cants, and take saws 26, 32, and 36 ins. in diameter, of No. 10
and No. 9 gauge, and feed rolls from 30 in. to 48 in. in length. The
kerf of these saws vary from 3/16 in. in pine to 7/32 in. in spruce,
but the lumber comes out so smooth and so true to size that from
1/16 in. to 1/12 in. is enough to allow for finish, so that in the long
- run more lumber can be actually made out of a log on this machine
_ than on a band saw where & in. over size is the customary allowance.
The main requisite of these machines to ensure best results is ample
ower to run them. The power required varies from 85 to 125 h.p.
e floor space occupied varies from 7 ft. by 9 ft. for the smallest
= chine, to 9 ft. by 10 ft. 6 in. for the largest, and the weights com-
plete run from 10,000 Ibs. to 18,000 Ibs. each.
The saw mandrel is a hollow one through which is forced a stream
water and by means of holes drilled into the mandrel this water
sprayed onto the saws, keeping them comparatively cool. Each saw
a separate guide, which is easily accessible and readily adjustable,
d the end bridge-tree is so constructed that it can be quickly re-
joved or swung back out of place for removal of the saws. In fact,
he whole battery of saws can be changed, the guides adjusted, and
bridge-tree put back into place in 10 to 12 minutes. This is the
ual time in which it has been done. The press rolls are operated
; ns on the large machines, and by weights on the small ma-

chine, and both these and the feed rolls have a drive separate from
the mandrel, so that, in case of any trouble the saws can be stopped
and the cant backed out of the cut by means of this separate drive.
Safety fingers hung just inside the first press roll absolutely prevent
a cant from flying back off the saws, so that the machine is perfectly
safe to the operator.

In regard to the capacity of these machines, as high as 2,500 10-
in. cants have been put through the large machine in ten hours, while
1,800 cants is the average run. The machines are very heavy, strong
and rigid, and the capacity can only be determined by the skill of
the operator and the number of cants that can be slabbed ready for it.
The lumber cut on these gangs comes out absolutely true to size from
end to end, as it is impossible to put a cant through the battery of
saws and have uneven lumber. One of their customers has cut as
high as seven million feet in one season on this machine, and did not
have a single bad board.

Among the users of these machines are the following well-known

lumber companies :—

John Lumsden, Ottawa, Ont.

Rixon,Ainslie, Stoddart Company, Owen Sound, Ont.

Charlemagne & Lac Ouareau Lumber Company, Montreal, P.Q.

Gilmour & Hughson, Hull,- P.Q.

Wm. Copping, Joliette, P.Q.

Shives Lumber Company, Campbellton, N.B.

Colonial Lumber Company, Pembroke, Ont.

Devon Lumber Company, Pine, Ont.

Saunders, Howell & Company, Norris Arm, Nfld.

Besides the machines described above, the Wm. Hamilton Com-
pany, Limited, manufacture a complete line of sawmill machinery for
stationary band mills, including their well-known steam tension band
mill, a large number of which are in use throughout Canada. They
are the pioneers in the manufacture of sawmill machinery, being
one of the oldest, if not the oldest manufacturers in this line in Canada
today, and the experience gained throughout these years has been
built into their machinery, as is evidenced by their large number of
satisfied customers.

In addition to sawmill machinery, they manufacture a complete
line of hydraulic power plant equipment, including the well-known
“Samson” turbine waterwheels, steel penstocks, racks, feeder pipes,
headgate hoists, stop log winches, and power house cranes.

In pulp mill machinery, they manufacture a line of centrifugal
and triplex stuff pumps, also centrifugal screens and pulp grinders.

Opportunities for the Retailer

The live retail lumberman is now-a-days not confining himself
to the old line of lumber and shingles only, but is adding many
auxiliary lines and gathering in trade that formerly was legitimately
his, but went past his door to the hardwareman. :

In another column of this issue the Metallic Roofing Co. of Can-
ada, Limited, is offering the trade a line of trimmings which can be
sold with the shingles and thus an extra profit secured. Other
trades formerly sold most of these profitable trimmings but the man
who sells the shingles has the drop on them all, as he gets the first
chance. The well known line of Trimmings sold by this firm, “Ridge
Cap” and “Valley” are in great favor with the building trades and sell
themselves. The Metallic Roofing Co. have prepared a lumbermen’s
booklet and are making a special offer to retail lumbermen as an
inducement to handle the profitable line, and it would pay our
readers to get in touch with them.

Clark Brothers Company, of Olean, N. Y., manufacturers of saw-
mill machinery, announce that they have recently sold to the Brown
Corporation, of. La Tuque, Que., one of their big eight-foot, new
model, double cutting band mills. This mill is to replace the circular
saw that has been in operation at La Tuque for some years. They
are also furnishing the F. & M. Company, of Escourt, P. Q., a seven-
foot, new model double cutting band mill. This is for the new Fraser
plant that will be started in the spring.

The Canadian Northern Railway are purchasing one million ties
between Warroad, Minn., and Port Arthur, Ont., the bulk of the con-
tracts beirtg east of Fort Frances. The Fort Frances Pulp and Paper
Co, are also taking out several thousand cords of pulpwood.

Cedar Oil and Its Uses

Cedar oil is used in connection
with the microscope as an immer-
sion medium for oil immersion
lenses, and its value for this pur-
pose lies in the fact that its re-
fractive index, or the degree to
which light is bent in entering it
from the air or other transparent
mediums, is nearly the same as
the white optical glass from which
microscope slides and covers are
made. The small section of tissue
or other microscopic object is usu-
ally mounted in Canada balsam—
the balsam obtained from the bits
of the bark of the ordinary balsam
fir, which, while soft in its natural
state, dries to a tough resin of a
transparent yellowish tinge and
with a refractive index also nearly
the same as glass. The object is
covered with a small disc or
square of very thin glass, the bal-
sam in which it is mounted also
acting as a cement to hold the
glass covering in place.

In viewing the object a drop of
cedar oil is placed upon it and the
high power oil immersion lens is
low ered into this drop of oil and
focused upon the object. In the-
ory, therefore, the cedar oil and
the glass cover of the object, to-
gether with such thickness of the
balsam mounting medium as in-
tervenes, all become a part of the
lens system of the microscope and
the optical system may therefore
be corrected for a constant condi-
tion and is not affected by the er-
rors that would be introduced by
successive passage through air
and through the varying thick-
ness of glass in the cover.

The volume of consumption,
however, of both Canada balsam
and of cedar oil, which are both
products of the forest, is extreme-
ly small in this field. Crude cedar
oil is used together with sawdust
in some sweeping compounds,
merely to impart an agreeable
odor, and this is really its only use
in the polishing oils that are used
with oil mops upon hardwood
floors—American Lumberman.

| Review of C

Ontario

The local trade in Ontario continues seasonably quiet. The cessa-
tion of orders for shell boxes has been a serious matter to the whole
trade. During the production of shell boxes there was a brisk move-

‘ment of spruce and several lines of hardwoods, but now these lines,
‘n common with all others, are quiet. There is a certain amount of
improvement in the demand for industrial purposes, although it is
difficult to put one’s finger upon any one spot. Building operations
continue very quiet and it is not yet possible to form any idea of
what the situation will be in the spring. It is not well, however, to
count upon anything in the way of definite building activity during the
coming spring. Some reports have recently appeared to the effect
that the Imperial Munitions Board will again be placing orders for
shells and shell boxes before long. The whole shell situation, how-
ever, is so uncertain and it is so impossible at present to obtain an
authoritative statement regarding the policy of the Munitions Board
that one can only indulge in guess work as to the shell box situation.

In the export trade to the United States conditions are much more
encouraging. There is a good demand across the line for nearly all
kinds of Ontario lumber. If it were not for this particular bright
spot in the trade, conditions in Ontario would be far from good. In-
dustrial activity and prosperity continue to broaden in the United
States and the cities along the borders of the great lakes are feeling
it as much as any others. This is making a good demand for the chief
lines exported from Ontario.

Eastern Canada

The local trade at Montreal continues quiet, but trade with the
United States continues on a fairly active scale. Prices for the
United States stock are satisfactory. The shell box business at
Montreal is quiet at present, but there are rumors of new orders
which are likely to be placed during the present month. Some en-
quiries for shell box lumber have reached Montreal from Ontario
firms... The outlook for trade throughout Quebec province is not
especially good, but it is expected that improvement will take place
during the spring. It is probable that this year’s trade in the prov-
ince will be at least as good as last year’s. In the country districts,
good prices for the agricultural products of last year are likely to
cause a fair amount of trade in lumber.

The foreign limber market for St. John stocks has continued quiet
during the past fortnight, although a certain amount of stocks are
being moved all the time by the Admiralty. Charters continue to
advance in price. Recent reports are of charters at 265 shillings to
the west coast of England and Ireland, and additional considerations
for the vessel owners. The United States market continues strong
and with a tendency towards higher prices. There are quite a num-
ber of enquiries out for shell box lumber, but stocks are scarce. Lath
continue firm. Cuts for 1916 have been sold at a little higher than
for 1915. Shingles are unchanged. Local trade is quiet as building
operations are very light.

The eastern spruce market at Boston is very firm. Random
orders are plentiful. Full car load lots are quoted at :—2x3, $21; 2x4,
$22; 2x5, 2x6 and 2x7, $21 to $22; 2x8, $24.50 to $25; 2x10, $25.50 to
$26 ; 2x12, $26.50 to $27. For quick delivery or assorted cars at least
50c more is asked. Improvement is reported in the demand for spruce
boards and quotations are strengthening. The best matched spruce
boards, 10, 12, 14 and 16 ft. are bringing $25. The hardwood market
at Boston continues steady and the demand is good. Furniture and
piano case firms are showing a tendency to increase their stocks. A
little more interest is reported in basswood which is bringing $43 to
$45 for 1 in. firsts and seconds. Birch is very active with 1 in. firsts
and 2nds in red bringing $53 to $55 and in sap $45 to $47. Hemlock

’ is not over active at Boston, but there is a better demand than there
was earlier in the winter and quotations have improved. Shingles are
rathr quiet at Boston on account of the unseasonable weather. Manu-
facturers, however, expect the market to strengthen and some of them
have revised their prices upward. White cedar extras are bringing
$3.50 delivered in Boston and clears $2.90 to $3. Red cedars are
firmer, best extra clears bringing $3.63, even $3.68 and $3.75. There
is a moderate demand for lath, but quotations are uncertain.

United . States

It seems to be impossible to over-estimate the extent of the trade
revival which has spread throughout the United States during recent
months. Although this improvement was originally the result of

the demand for war material, it is no longer dependent upon war
orders. Industrial centres in all parts of the country are active, and —
the domestic demand is playing a very large part in the general in-
dustrial improvement. The steel industry continues at the highest —
possible rate of production. Every old furnace and mill that can be —
made to do service is in motion and extensive construction wor ;
being done. Steel prices continue to advance and contracts are bei
made for delivery as far ahead as the first half of 1917. Other
fluences have been noted in previous reports, chief among these is the _
enormous crop yield which has brought the highest prices that have —
prevailed in many years. The most encouraging situation in
nection with the lumber business is that in connection with th
roads. The normal requirements of the railroads have
estimated to average about 200,000 new cars per ~
During 1915 orders placed for cars amounted to les:
108,000 cars, the majority of these orders being placed-during t
half of the year. Railroads are continuing to report substantial in
creaess in gross and net earnings. All of the car builders in the
country report heavy orders on hand. The constantly increasing
cost of steel is making the railroads turn over to wood for n-
struction of their cars. eed Oa
Yellow pine manufacturers continue very hopeful about the out- s
look. The heavy demands by railroads have broken up assortments
so badly that many mills have been obliged to decline orders for cer-
tain sizes and lengths of stock. On the whole, stocks in m irds
are light. A recent enquiry is reported for 41,000,000 feet of 3 Vv
pine for one of the European governments, with transportation
ties guaranteed. Another enquiry is for 750,000 yellow p'
seems to come from reliable sources. The extensive curta
production on the Pacific Coast has added strength to the
yellow pine situation. Since our last issue another heavy snow
storm has occurred, causing continued idleness at practically every
mill and camp. Advances ef from $1 to $3 per thousand feet are
reported on Pacific woods. is

Hemlock has recently attained a strong position in the lumber
market. Stocks have been greatly depleted, prices have advanced,

and the situation is more satisfactory now than it has been for some
time. ;

Great Britain

Continued activity is reported in the spot market at London.
Very little forward business is taking place, but purchasers are plenti-
ful for such suitable stock as is available for immediate use. Values
are very high and there is no sign of a decline, as freights for the
opening of navigation seem likely to advance rather than to recede.
Deliveries at London docks for the week endi luary 15th
amounted to 3,313 standards as compared with 3,970 standards during
the corresponding week of 1915. At Foy, Morgan and Company’s
recent auction sale 1 x 4/7-10 to 16 ft. first Quebec pine brought
£30 5s. A lot of 2x 11 unsorted Quebec red pine 12 x 22 ft. brought
£27 10s. while 2 x 8-12 to 24 ft. brought £25 and 2 x 312 to 24 ft.
brought £22 15s. Red pine 3 x 9-12 to 16 ft. from Montreal brought

£26 15s.
The c. i. f. market for spruce at Liverpool is now confined to
small parcels on consignments and they indicate that the position is

firmer than ever. From all appearances owners are more 1 to.
hold than to sell. Shippers are offering for later shipments on a base
of 200s freight, which, from all accounts, is the minimum at whic
tonnage will be available either steam or sail. Place has re-
ported to have been secured by liners at 215s. The spot m
Liverpool continues firm in all lines. The demand for con
is strong and many large consumers admit that their stocks
carry them for more than two or three months. Most of th
continue to deplete their stocks until they are forced to buy.
of the importers are carrying much smaller stocks than usual,
likely to have trouble in replenishing, on account of the scare
tonnage. CC. i. f. birch prices are very firm. F. o. b. prices |
increased. Shippers are very firm for logs, planks or boards. |
spot maket for birch is firm and stocks are strongly held with a
improvement in the demand. Values should rise rapidly. Pre bos
stocks are ample in most regards, but there is a shortage of the —
favorite sizes. ia

more and more each week. Steamship owners who carry timber

Market Correspondence

Trade Still Quiet at Montreal

Montreal, February 10th (Special to the Canadian Lumberman) :
Trade in lumber is still on the slow side. The local market is the
weak spot, as business with the United States is keeping up very well,
considering the time of the year, and prices are satisfactory. Some
of the firms making shell boxes are still closed and others are not
very busy. There is a prospect that further orders will be given out
by the Ottawa Committee during the present month. Ontario firms
making boxes have been making inquiries here as to suitable lumber.

Although the outlook for the immediate future is not particularly
good, there is reason to believe that business will soon pick up, and
that the demand from the Province of Quebec will be at least equal
to that of 1915. The country districts were not affected to any ex-
tent by the conditions which affected Montreal, and with high prices
for agricultural products there is a likelihood of a fair trade in lumber.

aur building permits for last month totalled $174,160 as against
$203,261 in the corresponding period last year.

The sulphite pulp market continues strong, with a prospect of
further advances. The embargo by Sweden on pulp going to Great
Britain is the dominating feature, and this has resulted in additional
inquiries coming to this side, The conditions in Norway and Sweden
all make for higher prices. Ground wood is in moderate demand.

St. John Trade Quiet—-Charter Rates Still Advancing

St. John, N.B., February 10th; (Special to the Canada Lumber-
man) :—There is practically nothing new to report on the local or
foreign lumber market during the last two weeks. The Admiralty
are moving a certain amount “of stock all the time, as they are about
the only ones who have any tonnage at their command. Boat after
boat which has been chartered to ‘load here has been requisitioned
for army supplies. Charters are being made today for coast of
England and Ireland at 265 shillings, with the boats getting half
freight in advance and many other perquisites. This ‘tremendous
rate of freight has.a dampening effect on all buyers of deals, as they
do not know where the rates will stop and are therefore afraid to
gamble. About all the cuts of deals at St. John have been disposed
of and some two or three mills have sold ahead their English deals for
1916, at prices slightly in advance of 1915.

The American market continues steady at a base price of $26
Boston points, and it does not look now as if there would be any
decrease in price or demand. Many inquiries are on the market for
shell box lumber, which is largely 1% in., but it is hard to find any
persons who have dry stocks of this size.

Laths remain firm and cuts of laths for 1916 have been disposed
of at a little higher than 1915.

Shingles remain unchanged, although if the long lumber market
in British Columbia is any criterion of the shingle market, we shall
no doubt have an advance in our shingle prices as Western shingles
are Our greatest competitors, and it is understood that not nearly so
many logs are being cut this year as last. A further advance of $3
per thousand took place in B. C. for lumber today. If any market
needs reviving it is our shingle market.

Locally, we are marking time, as no work is offering and it looks
unlikely that we will have any building craze this year, unless the
war should suddenly end, when it is felt that people would regain
confidence. Merchantable spruce boards, dry stock, are extremely
scarce, as everything in the way of boards was bought up some time
ago. These are mostly going to the allied governments, who are
providing a good deal of tonnage.

Logging around the lower sections of the river is extremely difh-

cult as we have not had over five inches of snow all winter and this’

only stayed a few days. We are now having more snow and it 1s
hoped it will remain until the yards are cleared. On the upper St.
John good weather prevails and the work of hauling logs to banks
is going along in good shape. About 2% feet of snow now covers the
The cut will be normal.

market, the demand being well maintained even in the face of rapidly
advancing prices. Consignments coming forward are quite insuff-
cient to meet the demand. There is no knowing what the future i
prices of spruce may be. A few sales are reported in 3rd and 4th
quality yellow pine deals at very firm prices, but there is no move-
ment to report in better grades of deals and sidings.

HOME AND ABROAD

The Freight Problems for 1916

In view of the great importance of the freight situation in
nection with shipments of lumber from Canada to Great Britai
ference to this matter in a recent issue of the Timber Trades
of London, Eng., dealing chiefly with shipments from the White
and the Baltic, is of interest. In its issue of January 22nd the Tim
Trades Journal says :— “Improbable as it may seem, the question—
Is it possible for the freight market in 1916 to follow the same course
as last year?—is now being seriously considered. Will the first
tures eventually prove to be cheap charters owing to a steadily a
vancing freight market, as the season progresses? ve
the White Sea, the selling season not having generally com
less attention has been given to the question than in the Paty ®
Baltic, but, as we metioned last week, 200s. is stated to have ee
from Archangel to London. As to Sweden, negotiations h
in train in various quarters, and a few fixtures are reported. chet
as owners are at all agreed at present, it is in the detemination not to
charter ahead except at a considerable advance on the highest rates of
last year, and we hear of 120s. and rather more having been paid in
one or two instances to London, and 140s. to the South Coast. No
one can safely prophesy, but if we assume little change in the i interna- —
tional situation except that the war will be waged on a larger and—
more extensive scale, it is clear that the tonnage requirements of the —
belligerent Governments will be enormous, and the neutral boats left
for private chartering will thus have the market at their mercy. ~The
position must be faced; steamer room will be very precious while the
war lasts, and we should say that, as in 1915, merchants will have no-
cause to regret any fixtures that they may make early in the season.”

In another article in the same issue the following appears:—-
“Canadian deal shippers are reported to have chartered a steamer for
two voyages next season to West Britain, East Ireland range at 200s.
per standard, and the same rate has since been freely offered for —
further cargoes, but so far it does not appear to have been inal ;
accepted. *

“For pitchpine 450s. has been paid from the Gulf of Mexia tor
West Coast of U. K., for a boat of handy size but backward position,
and this could be repeated ; but, for the River Plate, on account of the
great increase in outward rates thence, charterers who were last week
quoting 400s., dropped their offers to 375s., although there seems little
or no chance ‘of their expectations of cheaper freight, on that account
being realised. To West Italy 500s. continues to be offered, and no
doubt could be exceeded, but owners do not appear to consider this -
employment so attractive as grain for the same voyage at current J
rates. :

Big Export Year for Genoa Mills

In the exportation of lumber during 1915 the Genoa Bay
established a new record for Vancouver Island. During that y
well over 14,000,000 board measurement feet of lumber were ship
from the Vancouver Island lumber mills at Genoa Bay to Euro
New York, South Africa, California and Mexico. This large t
would doubtless have been exceeded during the last twelve mon hs
but for the lack of tonnage on the Pacific. Large orders have beer
placed, but the ships have not been available to deliver the cargoes a
Many shipments were also held up by the Panama Canal slides. New
York was the largest buyer during 1915, with Europe second,
South Africa a close third. From Genoa Bay to New York there was
Africa 2,379,857 feet. One cargo of 2.275,090 feet was shipped tohen |
Toronto, Ont., by the steamer Bessie Dollar, this being the ‘Second -

Timber Licenses and Leases Explained— Advertising
Campaign—Ocean Tonnage Greatly Needed
By Hon. W. R. Ross*

Many vague estimates of the extent of British Columbia’s for-
ests have been put forward in past years. Because we need reliable
information in order to manage our forests intelligently I began a
forest survey in 1912. A very considerable area has already been
covered by the cruisers engaged in this survey. The figures ob-
tained give us something definite to go upon. Besides the eight and
one-third million acres under timber license, a million acres under old
- timber leases, a million acres of deeded timberland, three quarters of
a million acres held under railway grants—besides these alienations
we find that the Crown Timber Reserve, created in 1907, is very con-
siderable. For instance, in entering the results of various forest
surveys on the maps last year there were one million acres of reserve
timberland dealt with, apart from very large areas containing lesser
stands of timber and pulpwood. Hence, the estimate of 350 billion
feet of merchantable timber now awaiting cutting in the Province 1s
being called into question as it becomes more and more probable
that the effective total will reach 400 billion.

B. C.’s Wood Assets

Take the Coast forests—say a solid third is Douglas Fir, which
taken all around is the finest all round wood in the world; over one-
fifth is Cedar—British Columbia is pre-eminently the Cedar region of
America, thanks to the Coast rainfall. Then think of our immense
stand of Western Hemlock. The world is now beginning to realize
what Western Hemlock is. Our pulp and paper mills have done
great things with it already, but the big uses.of this wood are only
just beginning. Western Hemlock is destined to take the place of
Tastern White Pine for very many purposes, and at no distant date.
Then take our fine interior forests. Seven thousand out of 13,600
square miles of timber licenses are East of the Cascades Mountains,
so you see our interior country is pretty strongly represented in the
timber asset-

The financial world naturally takes a particular interest in the
auestion of tenure. Crown grant timber, of course, is just deeded
timber—there is nothing to explain about that. Then the old leases
are simple enough—rentals of 10 or 15 cents per acre per annum and
a royalty on cut logs of 50 cents are the terms.in most cases up to the
years 1921 to 1925, during which period the bulk of these leases will
come up for renewal for 21 years ahead, obtaining whatever rates of
rental and royalty are then provided by statute. The timber license
tenure is rather more complicated, however.

The Problem of Tenure

The original problem was extremely complicated. An immense
timber resource was idle and unproductive, contributing next to noth-
ing to the development of the Province. We permitted the staking
of timberlands—anyone could stake cutting rights over a square mile
of timber by paving $140 a year rental and paying a certain stumpage
(we call it royalty) on such logs as he might actually cut. That was
a good proposition for the lumberman who wanted timber for a mill
and did not want to sink capital in buying stumpage ahead. But
there were strings on this concession in the public interest. Neither
the annual rental (which is a sort of interest charge) nor the royalty
on cut logs was fixed. They could be changed at any time to meet
any rise in timber values that might occur. So the public was well
protected. On the other hand it was left to the changing opinion of
successive legislatures—(ours are elected everv four years)—to de-
cide what rental or royalty should be charged. That uncertainty
gave British Columbia timber licenses a weak standing as securities,
and made the financing of the lumber business difficult in consequence.

Rentals for Long Period

For a time no solution of this problem could be found. In the
end, with the co-operation of the parties affected, a basic principle
was worked out. and then we passed the Timber Royalty Act of 1914.
That gave security of tenure to the licencee—fixed a rental for forty-
five years ahead and a royalty on a sliding scale. If the wholesale
selling price of lumber throughout the Province goes up above a
certain figure the royalty goes up. If it goes below that figure
there is a definite royalty charge to correspond. The people of this
Province and the lumbering industry are, therefore, partners in the
timber. The terms of the partnership are straightly defined. There
is no more room for uncertainty, as is the case with timber or timber-
lands in the Western States for example, where taxation may in-
crease several hundred per cent. in a few short years. The timber

license of British Columbia is henceforward an absolute safe securitv-

The development of the lumber business of British Columbia is
a matter of transportation. The Province has developed a fine sys-
tem of railway transportation inland; so far we have not done the

same seawards- ‘There has been chronic congestion at the Coast, a
lack of sea-going tonnage that has been stifling our export lumber
trade. Remove that and the rest follows—expansion in the lumber-
ing business, foreign markets, activity in every form of commerce.

No Lack of Plant

A mill capacity of 2% billion feet—we shall soon increase that
when we have ocean transportation to take up the business offerings —
from all over the world that we are obliged to turn down to-day. An
actual output, in these hard war times, valued at twenty-nine million
dollars, a thousand million shingles shipped to market in the year;
the new pulp and paper industry producing three million dollars ;
year already; some of the largest plants in the world for saw an¢
paper mills—these are a few points that show our lumberm
activity. Let us once secure ocean transportation and, make no n
take there will be doings in the lumbering business, and a rise in th
value of British Columbia stumpage. And this Government is ru
ning an advertising campaign directed at the Prairie, Eastern
foreign consumer of lumber that is-going to make an appreciabl
ference to the demand for our forest products. We are out to de
level best to secure prosperity through a prosperous lumberir
dustry based on a wealth of timber resources.

Sawing Frozen Timber pie
A chisel tooth saw, up to the time the frost comes, may work i

an entirely satisfactory manner then suddenly refuse to do an;
The sawyer, in trying to make it go by changing the adjustme:
the guides and the “line” of the saw is liable to strain the blade
it over the collars, and put it in such shape that a trip to the fa
is necessary. By following the few simple suggestions conta
this article, this expense, delay and annoyance may be avoided
First: To cut frozen timber successfully the shanks 10
should be new or practically so, and should be of the swage
flanged pattern. Therefore, before starting to cut frozen timber, see
that the holders are in good shape, sharp on the inner edges, other-
wise put in a new set of swaged holders. y ie eS

¥.¥- rt

In cutting frozen timber a fine saw dust is formed, which, not
being properly clambered by worn holders passes down the side of
the saw, freezes to the log, forcing the saw out of the cut, thus pre-
venting good work. New swaged holders keep the cut clear of this
fine saw dust. permit the saw to run cool and cut a true line. The
sepa of a new set of holders also slightly stiffens the tension of
the saw. ; =“ i
Second: Use narrower bits than usual. When a 9-32-inch point

is used in the regular work, bits %4-inch wide on the cutie will
often suffice and do better work. in ie ;
Sometimes it is possible to use bits which have been discarded

by filing them carefully so they will have good sharp corners. The
fact that these worn bits are shorter than when new, will be found ad-
vantageous. — ;

It is absolutely necessary to keep the corners of the bits sharp
and square on the cutting edge to sever the fibres of the wood thor-
oughly, thus avoiding the rough. stringy surface often occurring in
some kinds of timber when the fibres are torn.

Where the corners of the bit are in such condition that they rub
back of the extreme cutting edge, good work can not be expected.
Therefore keep the corners sharp and widest and the shanks fully
emeney and do this before attempting to saw when the timber is
rozen. ;

When inserting new shanks and new bits always oil the sockets.

For

aw and Planing Mills

In a Goodhue Belt you get only the best leather with the stretch
taken out of it. A Goodhue Belt will always run evenly and
‘‘clings” to the pulley transmitting 100% of your power.

. For the wet places in the mill we have a special waterproof leather
belt—‘‘Acme”. Other Goodhue Belts are ‘‘Extra’”’ and ‘‘Standard”’ recommended according to
the conditions under which the belt has to run.

Goodhue Belts stretch less than any other belt by 15 to 25 per cent.

When to this is added increased durability
we have the economy that naturally results
from larger output and long service.

These are some of the strong points in
favor of :

minimum amount of set, without sacrific-
ing elasticity and stiffness. You know that
all these points are good points, and sub-

Reduce your haulage cost
with National Motor Trucks

The Motor Truck is an accepted method of transportation. Its use has
been demonstrated in hundreds of businesses, and for hauling almost every
commodity. Motor Trucks are essential to commercial activity—it only
remains to select the right Truck to get maximum service at minimum cost.

NATIONAL MOTOR TRUCKS have established their worth through
daily service under the most severe treatment—heavy loads, bad roads and
adverse weather conditions,

One of the four NATIONAL Models—1,500 pounds, 2,000 pounds, 4,000
pounds and 7,000 pounds capacities, will fill the requirements of any trans-
portation problem. NATIONAL Engineers will be glad to assist you in
determining which Truck will best suit your needs.

A Successful Dry Kiln

a ‘
Here’s what a manufacturer of pianos and organs says of a

Trade Mark

“We have two dry-kilns which are operated in this manner, one along
side of the other; one in which we place the green lumber that is shipped -
us, what is usually called shipping dry. This stock is all steamed before
the suction fan is placed on it. The other kiln we use for lumber that
has been on stick on our yard for from one to two years, and on this we
do not apply any steam, simply running it through in about ten days
for immediate use. The green lumber, however, in the other kiln is
steamed several days and is put through drying apparatus for about three
weeks before it is taken out. We have never had any case hardening using
this method, neither have we had any warping, in fact, we are perfectly
satisfied with the results.”

Kendall Gang Circular

The Machine you have been waiting;for.

The Machine that will convert your small logs into
more and better lumber, quicker than ever before.

: The illustration shows the latest design of gang circular patented by Mr. I. N.

Kendall, the well-known millwright, of Ottawa. This machine takes 16-26 in. diam.,

10 gauge saws—will cut cants up to 8 inches in thickness, and we furnish with it 30
saw collars for any thickness of lumber desired. It has a hollow mandrel, water
cooled saws; each saw has a separate guide; easily accessible and readily adjustable,
and the bridge tree is so designed that it can be removed, the saws taken off and
a new set put on in 10 or 12 minutes. Safety fingers hung just inside the front
press roll prevent a cant flying back off the saws. Lumber cut on these machines
is guaranteed to come out absolutely true from end to end.

We are the original manufacturers of these Machines

We have been manufacturing them for the past ten years, and the experience
gained in those years is at your disposal, We make these machines in three sizes,
as follows, using

26-in. saws for 8-in. cants, as illustrated.
32-in. saws for 10-in. cants
36-in. saws for 12-in. cants.

May we send you a list of satisfied users?

We also make a complete line of twin circulars with chain or steam feed for
slabbing logs for these machines.

The Machines That Make Plymouth

Necessity is indeed the mother of invention.
Plymouth standards, for example, have demand-

ed and inspired better cordage machinery.

Our spinning requirement is a yarn of uni-
form size and strength. No machine on the
market would give this result so we designed and

perfected one which would.

Today it takes nine large spinning rooms to
house our equipment on this machine alone—the

only type of spinner we use.

Similar high standards govern every other
department in our mills. And in every one the
particular problem in hand has been solved with

equal success.

The means to this end has been a permanent
engineering staff of our own, which designs,
perfects and assembles all the special devices and
special machines that these standards call for.

The result is an all-round equipment, which
for size, completeness and capacity to turn out
cordage of superior quality cannot be matched.

carriage can be furnished in any number of head blocks or axles,
also equipped with steam set works attached to either our No. 3

The carriage is carefully designed throughout and is giving
excellent service in mills all over Canada.

Out Those
Old Valres!!

Don’t tolerate kicking or leaking valves on your Steam Feed. Just as
sure.as your valves kick, your cutting capacity is going to take a drop.
The.Sawyer “feels” his work through his lever. A kicking valve scares
him off his work ; a leaking valve won’t let him do his best. Both kinds
are money losers for you.

WATEROUS VERTICAL
STEAM FEED VALVES

Will neither kick nor leak.

Write for
Information

Then, the exhaust—mostly water—doesn’t pass through
the valve plug, but through the lower part of the valve
chest. That's why the valve cannot kick.

and

And—most important of all—with the vertical valve there Prices

is no weight on the valve seat and consequently no wear
and no leakage. It's a real steam conserver.

Further, the Waterous Vertical Valve is balanced
to work easy, there is no dead steam between it and the
cylinder. Just as soon as the sawyer moves his lever he
gets the full “‘punch” of the live steam on his piston. That
makes a fast, quick-acting, satis-
factory feed.

If yours isn’t that kind now, attach
Waterous Vertica Valves and
see what a difference they will make.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

What you dealers have always
wanted is a lumber which will lift
you out of the turmoil of price
competition, and place you and
your merchandising methods on a
higher level.
You would naturally prefer to be
known as the merchant who sells
a material of established value, for which you
charge a fair and deserved profit, and in con-
sideration of which you deliver value received
to the purchaser.

Arkansas Soft Pine

will help you to this position

WHY?

Because it is a wood of specific superiority for
particular uses and as such is nationally ad-
vertised. It is, moreover, identified by trade
mark, which implies that it must adhere to
set standards of excellence in quality and
manufacture:

dat he
ae

NS a hs
.
ote

The foregoing facts are in the consumer’s
mind when he comes into ‘your office. Con-
sequently, when he (your buyer) asks for
Arkansas Soft Pine he does so because: he
knows what it is and because it is the wood
he wants. Price is a secondary consideration.

Shall we quote by wire or letter?

One Year’s Experience With Work-
men’s Compensation Act

Wevwhave devoted a considerable amount of space in this issue to
reproducing the opinions of lumber manufacturers in Ontario in re-
- gard to the Workmen’s Compensation Act. This Act has now been
in operation for over a year, and although a year can scarcely be con-
sidered sufficient for forming a definite judgment as to the merits or
faults of any new scheme, it does furnish a basis upon which to con-
sider and discuss some of its details. We do not present the cor-
respondence upon this matter with any idea of opposing the general
_ plan of the Workmen’s Compensation Act. We are pleased, in fact,
_ to see how many of the manufacturers in Ontario approve heartily of
the plan and offer freely their suggestions for making it more satis-
factory in its working out- We had thought at first of publishing
_ simply a digest of the opinions represented in the various letters re-
ceived, but have come to the conclusion that the best way to lay the
matter before all parties who are interested, including the Compensa-
tion Board and the manufacturers themselves is to publish the opin-
ions we have received in corisiderable detail.

The perusal of these letters will show that the most frequent
criticism offered is in connection with the rates charged by the Com-

_ pensation Board, many manufacturers asserting that the rates are far
in excess of the previous cost of insurance and many times greater
_ than the amount of indemnity paid in connection with accidents.
i ‘Thi s is a fault which is admitted to have been unavoidable in connec-
ion with the first yeat’s operation of the Act. Nearly all our cor-
I spondents are looking ee Wie to the natural las. | of this fault in

Compensation Act in-

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 55

different letters we have received. A number of manufacturers,
for instance, refer to the tendency which the Act is developing among
certain classes of employees to take advantage of it. This is one of
the unfortunate tendencies in human nature and is something which
no doubt the Board in charge of the working out of the Act must
fully appreciate. It should not be difficult in the course of a few
years to reduce this objection to as small proportions as it had in con-
nection with insurance by means of employers’ liability companies.

Some manufacturers criticize the Act on the ground that it is
too wide in its scope, saying that it makes it necessary for a company
to insure men whose occupation is only remotely connected with their
business, while others find that it is not elastic enough in some cases,
not providing indemnity in the case of certain dependents who un-
questionably need and deserve it. A somewhat similar suggestion is
made by one manufacturer who reports that a conscientious employee
who endeavored to return to his work before the seven days limit was
up, and subsequently found that he could not stick to the job, could
not collect any indemnity from the Board. There must be ways of
overcoming such objections by extending the authority of the Board
and making the provisions of the Act a little more elastic.

It is noticeable that in the large majority of cases, the criticisms
offered refer to the details of the Act and their working out. As to
its principle there is very little complaint. In fact nearly all the
manufacturers are pleased with the Act in principle, being glad to be
relieved of the legal troubles which were involved under the old sys-

Inter-Insurance for Canadian
Lumbermen

Insurance problems have always been more or less of a bugbear
to lumbermen in Canada. In the United States also, the same is true,
but the growth of lumber mutual companies and the recent develop-
ment of inter-insurance associations has given much relief across the
line. The mutuals have extended their operations into Canada to a
great extent and have shown our lumbermen that it is not always
necessary to pay high premiums in order to get good insurance. The
inter-insurance associations go even a step further and show that in
addition to giving insurance at cost it is possible to eliminate some of
the former elements of cost and automatically to return to the policy
holders the whole of the surplus of receipts after losses and expenses
have been provided for. The principle of inter-insurance, when
brought down to its elementry details, is that the losses are distri-
buted over the premiums and the surplus is returned to the policy
holders. To make such a proposition attractive it is necessary to
exercise great care in the selection of risks and to establish a rigid
inspection service, so as to reduce losses to a minimum.

This is what is being done by the Canadian Lumbermen’s Insur-
ance Exchange, which has developed out of the interest taken in the
problem by the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association and others includ-
ing prominent members of the lumber trade in Toronto. It is gratify-
ing to report that Canadian lumbermen, after looking into this propo-
sition have been quick to realize its benefits and to give it their sup-
port. It was necessary, in the first place, to raise $20,000 for a de-
posit with the Government. This has been done already. The
lumbermen of Ottawa and Toronto having been largely instrumental.
in subscribing this amount. The Association is therefore assured of
an early start. In fact we understand that it is commencing busi-
ness with quite a fair amount of insurance on its books.

The Lumbermen’s Fire Indemnity. Contract, which preceded the
present Association was established in Canada a year ago by United
States interests who made the necessary Government deposit and who
are now retiring so as t8 permit of the Association being converted
into a purely Canadian one. “The American company had already
placed upon its books some one and a half million dollars worth of
insurance which brings in premiums of about $35,000. The exper-

“sion took place.

ience of the past year was encouraging. There were no losses. On
account of its comparative smallness, however, the company was
obliged to reinsure all its risks and to pay practically the same rate as
it received in premiums, yet it was able to pay all expenses and to
show a profit of about 15 per cent. to policy holders. This year as
the volume of business grows it is expected that the Association will
be able to carry some of its own risks and thus effect a saving in the
cost of operation, so that a larger percentage of profit to policy hold-
ers will be possible.

When this subject came up for consideration before the Lumber-
men’s Section of the Toronto Board of Trade an interesting discus-
Mr. E. D. Hardy who explained the proposition
before the Section was followed by Mr. J. L. Campbell, who, at the
request of the chairman told of the experience of the retail lumber-
men in the Prairie Provinces. In this case a similar plan had worked
out with great success. The rate charged for insurance had been
ereatly reduced and the Association had been able to pile up a con-
tinually increasing surplus. Mr. Campbell, however, differed from
Mr. Hardy as to the working out of the plan, being of the opinion
that it should be confined to separate classes of lumbermen, that is to
say, that the retailers and the manufacturers should not be classed

together. He thought that the retail risks were much better than

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

March 1, 1916 —

the manufacturing ones and that if all were classed together the re-
tailers would be carrying an unfair share of the premium burden. ©
He did not believe that the plan would work out as successfully as it
should, unless the different sections of the lumber business were
separated.

Mr. Hardy in reply to Mr. Campbell's point expressed a belief
that it would be possible to work the plan successfully with all classes —
of lumbermen in it. He did not see that any injustice could be done
so long as the rates were made proportionate to the risks and the
profits were divided according to the premiums. There was no in-
equality that could not be met by graduating the risks.

We commend the plan of inter-insurance as it appears to us today
most heartily to lumbermen. It contains, we believe, the germ of a
great improvement to insurance methods ftom the lunbenneaa
point of view. It makes it possible to eliminate entirely the conflagra-
tion hazard, from which lumber yards and plants in most cases are :
isolated. It will enable lumbermen to reduce greatly the cost of in-
suring their properties. It will encourage the improvement of risks,
it will give the lumberman who has a good risk the means of getting
the most advantageous rate possible and it will in this way, we think,
lead to the carrying of much more insurance, at the same time reduc- _
ing the difficulties of adjusting losses.

Great Britain’s Proposed Prohibition of Imports

One of the most important events which have recently occurred in
connection with the export trade in wood goods to Great Britain was
the recent announcement in the British House of Commons that cer-
tain imports would shortly be prohibited, among other articles being
many lines of building materials. The object of the prohibition, as
announced, is to ease the freight market, and as timber is the most
bulky of the building materials imported into Great Britain it is only
reasonable to conclude that this is one of the chief articles referred to.
The Timber Trades Journal of London, England, in a recent issue,
commenting upon the announcement says in part:—An announce-
ment of this sort without details has naturally caused a suspension of
negotiations in many cases, and importers are waiting for some clue

as to what the prohibition really means—whether it is to be partial,

whether import will be permitted under licence, etc., etc. They are
also asking themselves the elementary question, What wood is build-
ing material and what is not? Nearly all wood can be used for build-
ing and nearly all wood for other purposes, and who is to decide the
debatable points? The attitude of the trade, on the whole, is very
calm, and until more particulars are available there is no disposition
to worry about the future. For it must be remembered that for more
than a year past a large proportion of the softwood imported into this
country has ben diréetly or indirectly in connection with Government
orders, the building trade being more or less a negligible factor except
building for the Government.

The timber trade is as anxious as any section of the community
to make sacrifices necessary for the general good, and will, of course,
submit cheerfully to any prohibition by the Government, especially at

Australian Market for Our Timber

We have made frequent reference in these columns to the im-
portance of the Australian market for Canadian lumber and timber.
We believe that manufacturers and shipping firms in British Col-
umbia, as well as brokers and merchants in Australia, are all anxious
to improve trade relations in this regard and to work up a more ex-
tensive business. Probably the keynote of the whole situation is
reciprocal trade. Canadians cannot expect to send many cargoes of
lumber or any other products to Australia unless return cargoes can
be arranged of Australian goods required in Canada. We publish
elsewhere in this issue an interesting letter from Geo. Hudson & Son,
Limited, of Sydney, N. S. W., in which they state that they have
come to the conclusion that a reciprocal tariff must be introduced in
order to increase our exchange of products. One of the practical
points made by the writer of this letter is his claim that British Col-

a time when the Government is the chief customer. According to
most estimates, from 70 to 80 per cent. of the timber trade is for Goy-
ernment work, while the outside business tends to diminish in pro-
portion as prices rise, speculative builders having no use for 2 in. x 4
in. at from £25 to £30 per standard. But the situation is neverthe- _
less puzzling. If the Government consumption of wood is to con- —
tinue (and there are few signs of much diminution as yet), how can
there be a prohibition of import unless the Government intends to take
the whole of the trade into its own hands. Has it not enough on its
hands already? If wood must be brought in, and the current prices
clearly show how much it is needed, is it not better to leave the
business in the hands of firms accustomed to the work who must be
more fitted to transact it than Government officials? Whilst the —
primary object of the suggestion may be to economise tonnage, a
secondary one is probably an idea to arrest the import of such goods
that may be termed luxuries, and so lessen the burden of exchange.
As yet, however, the suggested change is only in contemplation. It
may be passed into law with reservations, one of which may exclude
woods from our Colonial possessions, but the proposals are fraught
with a large amount of interest not only to the importers but to the
consumer and others. .
' Since the publication of the above article a royal proclamation
has been issued prohibiting the import, after March 1, except under
Board of Trade license, among other articles the following: “All ma-
terials for the manufacture of paper, strawboard, pasteboard, mill-
board and wood pulp, board, and manufacturers of paper and card-_
board; furniture woods, hardwoods and veneers.

umbia mills should deal direct with the timber merchants in Australia — .
and quote c.if. prices. Under present conditions the trade ‘goes F
through the hands of Australian importers who buy at Canadian mills _
on an f.o.b. price and make arrangements for the tonnage. Any plan
to sell on a c.i.f. basis would, of course, make it necessary for Can- ‘
adian manufacturers to secure the tonnage of their shipments. The ;
handling of this trade by means of f.o.b. sales to importers in Aus-
tralia simplifies the business greatly for the Canadian mills. It is
an open question, however, whether the Canadian mills would not be ©
better off if they followed the advice of Geo. Hudson and Son, and _
got in touch with merchants in Australia.

Of course, to a great extent, this matter of quoting on a c.ilf. or
an f.o.b. basis is really only one aspect of the larger problem of secur-
ing or controlling sufficient ee to handle the B. C. ete of

‘timber and lumber. In this connection it is interesting to note the
opinion of Mr. Niel Nielsen, Trade Commissioner for Australia, whose
headquarters are at San Francisco. Mr. Nielsen visited Vancouver
recently and expressed himself as follows :—‘“It seems to me that the
only way the B. C. lumbermen could compete with United States lum-
bermen would be either by the absolute control of a fair proportion of
the shipping they require or by a preference in the customs.” It will
be seen that Mr. Nielsen’s analysis of the situation comes down prac-
: tically to the analysis we have outlined above. Mr. Nielsen is advo-
ting and working for the adoption of a reciprocal tariff. A trade
ement could be made, he says, whereby B. C. and Canadian pro-
s generally could be sold in Australia at a low duty, and such
icts as meat, butter, etc., which Australia could supply to Can-
ould have a similar light duty, or no duty at all, whatever the
ement might be. Dealing with the subject more in detail Mr.
brought out the following points :—
re now exists no reciprocal agreement between Canada and
but there does exist such an agreement between Canada and
aland, Australia would want no better terms than those ar-
with New Zealand. And, furthermore, such an agreement be-
tween his Government and Canada would be of greater advantage to
; British Columbia than the New Zealand reciprocal agreement, for the
reason that Australia imports a great amount of lumber while New
Zealand uses her own lumber.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 27

While British Columbia lumber is not getting into the Australian
market, that country annually buys through Mr. Nielsen’s office some
20,000,000 feet. If a customs agreement were arranged between the
two dominions, Australia would open a trade office in Canada similar
to the office in San Francisco. Four years ago, when he established
the office in San Francisco, the business Australia was doing there
amounted to only about $600,000, and in 1915 it was approximately
$9,000,000. Not only can Australia compete with New Zealand, her
neighbor, in meats and butter, but also there would be a good market
in Canada for her wines in competition with California wines.

Mr. Nielsen has made an effort to show preference to this country
and has recommended to his Government that he be allowed to give
British Columbia lumber a ten per cent. advantage. This his Govern-
ment allowed, and yet he found that even with this advantage over
Puget Sound and Columbia River, the lumber in B. C. could not
compete, for the reason that there were no ships owned in Canada,
and American ships would not come here unless paid extra, the prevail-
ing extra rate being some five shillings per thousand feet.

Shipowners give two reasons for asking a higher freight rate to
come to British Columbia. One is that they have greater port and
tonnage dues to pay, and the other is that British Columbia lumber
is heavier and lowers the carrying capacity of the ships. They claim
that a ship earrying a million feet of Puget Sound lumber loses 50,000
to 60,000 feet in the extra weight of lumber loaded here.

Editorial Short Lengths for Busy Readers

The Gloucester Fishing Schooner, Elmer E. Gray, of only 84
tons register, was recently in port at St. John, N. B., taking on a
cargo of lumber for the Geo. McKeen Lumber Company, for delivery
at a trans-Atlantic port. The master of the vessel expects to make
the voyage across in about three weeks. Her load will be about

85,000 feet.

aes

a In its issue of February 1st the Timber Trades Journal of Lon-
don, England, referring to the situation in connection with Atlantic
freight rates says:—‘‘Anotlier week has passed without any fixtures

_ of wood-carriers, either steam or sail, having been reported on the

market. The scarcity of suitable tonnage, and more especially of

steamers, has shown no sign of any diminution, and the recent ex-
orbitant rates of freight obtainable for other cargoes continue at least
to retain their high level, with the Government orders for steam grain
carriers attracting the best of the saupentinely few boats available.
as ‘The enquiry for tonnage for next season’s deals from Canada does not
appear to have been followed by any chartering up to the present, and
j although the basis of rates quoted by shippers'may now be taken to

have advanced by 5s. per std. to 225s., so small an increase is not
likely to have much effect in inducing owners to fix their boats so far
ahead in the current condition of freights generally.”

The Department of Trade and Commerce is in receipt of a com-

vy ec Bbaan from Mr. H. R. MacMillan, Special Trade Commissioner,

= stating that the largest firm of timber importers in South Africa im-

port several thousand doors each year from the United States. These

doors are nearly all made in New York State, largely from lumber

_ supplied from Canada. Several years ago this company imported

Canadian doors which were found to be satisfactory but, during the

_ past few years, their New York agents have been supplying them

with American doors. It is possible that there are manufacturers in

Canada who are in a position to compete with United States manu-
_ facturers both in quality and price.

‘This firm is willing to take a trial order of a hundred 6-foot 8-
inch by 2-foot 8-inch by 1%4-inch four panel double moulded No. 3
‘pine doors, provided that these doors can be shipped before the end
March, for a price of 10s each, c. i. f£. Durban. They desire that these
rs should be shipped by a reputable manufacturing firm prepared
mter into the export trade. The firm shipping the doors may draw
n the company in question at sight for payment in full. When

hipment is made the South African firm will be glad to receive a

statement from the shipper dealing with the possibility of the develop-
ment of an export trade from Canada in doors, giving information
regarding grades, prices, and conditions of shipment. The name of
the above-mentioned firm may be obtained on application to the
Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa. (Refer File No.
A-1499.)

The attention of the Department of Trade and Commerce has
been drawn to the possibilities of opening up an export trade in
Canadian paper and wood-pulp with Brazil by the British Consul
General at Rio de Janeiro. Up to the present the trade in these
articles, which is sufficiently large, has been almost entirely in the
hands of Germany and Norway and is now, naturally, mainly held by
the latter. There would now seem to be no reason, provided freight
can be obtained, why Canadian manufacturers of printing paper and
wood-pulp should not secure a large portion of this trade. The
steamship lines, which run regular services from New York to South
American ports, would probably be able to take the paper, if the
railway freight to New York did not cause the total freight to com-
pare unfavorably with those obtainable from Scandinavian ports.

In the year 1913 Brazil imported 30,052,227 kilos of printing paper
to the value of 7,373,137 milreis or £491,542 at 16d. exchange, and in
1914 the imports amounted to 21,007,159 kilos with a value of 5,318,808
milreis, or £332,425 at 15d. exchange, thus allowing for the drop in
exchange which took place towards the end of last year.

As regards wood-pulp, Brazil in 1913 imported 6,022,875 kilos to
the value of 789,725 milreis or £52,648 at 16d. exchange, and in 1914,
3,455,957 kilos to the value of 472,290 milreis, or £29,518 at 15d.
exchange, allowing for the fall as before.

The heavy drop in 1914 is due to the abnormal circumstances and
financial stringency caused by the European war, but the opinion is
expressed that Canada might well look to Brazil as a promising out-
let for the products of her paper industry.

It is only by co-operation that the lumber industry of British
Columbia can be placed on a sound financial basis, the logger co-
operating with the lumbermen, the banks giving all the convenience
possible to this great industry, the Dominion and Provincial Govern-
ments rendering all the assistance possible, as when the lumber in-
dustry is prospering, it not only adds to the prosperity of the lumber-
man, but helps in no small way in making British Columbia as a
whole prosperous and progressive.

in the Royal Naval Air Service and the other in Flanders. Flight
Sub-Lieut. G. A. Maclean, R. N., was formerly secretary-treasurer of
the Conger Lumber Company, Limited. He is the eldest son of Mr.
W. B. Maclean, and was connected with the company for five years
as manager of the operations at Parry Sound, Ont. He gave up this
position in June, 1914, to become an officer of the Eaton Machine
Gun Brigade. Shortly after his arrival in England he applied for
transfer to the Royal Naval Air Service and secured an appointment
about October Ist, 1915. He is now on active service in charge of a
sea-plane on one of the war ships in the North Sea. Flight Sub-Lieut.
Maclean is 24 years old and is an old Upper Canada College boy.

Lieut. A. P. Maclean, 20th Battalion, 2nd Canadian Contingent,
is the second son of Mr. W. B. Maclean. He also was actively in-
terested in the business of the Conger Lumber Company, Limited, at
Parry Sound. He is twenty years of age and was born in Toronto.
He is a graduate of Upper Canada College.and was attending the
University of Toronto when the war broke out. He then took a com-
mission with the 48th Highlanders, Toronto, and subsequently was
transferred to the 20th Battalion. Lieut. Maclean left Toronto in
May, 1915, for overseas. He was in camp at Shorncliffe and left there
for the front on September 15th, 1915, since when he has been on the
firing line in Flanders. Before the 1st Battalion left Shorncliffe he
was promoted to the position of signalling officer of the Battalion.

A Shingle Shortage in British Columbia

Private advices received by the Canada Lumberman from B. C.
state that on January 28th, fifteen shingle mills with an aggregate
total of 105 machines, reporting as to their stocks and orders on hand,
showed the following totals :—

Orders on hand, XXX 17,390,000; XXXX 1,640,000; XXXXX
31,255,000; Eurekas 3,910,000; Perfections 11,450,000.

Stocks on hand ready for shipment XXX 2,714,000; XXXX
1,812,000; XX XXX 5,878,000; Eurekas 200,000; Perfections 345,000.

Surplus orders on hand XXX 14,676,000; XXXX_ 172,000*;
XXXXX 25,377,000; Eurekas 3,710,000; Perfections 11,105,000.

*Stock on hand in excess of orders.

This shows a surplus of orders for 54,686,000 shingles or at 25,000
shingles per machine per day enough business on hand to keep all the
mills which reported (105 machines) running to full day time capacity
for nearly one month. It is hardly necessary to comment on price
considering this report, especially when one takes into consideration
the fact there are practically no logs in the loggers’ hands.

Further advices which were received subsequently, indicate that
this situation was unchanged on February 21st, except for an in-
creased volume of orders. It is interesting to recall in this connec-
tion that practically all mills on the Pacific Coast were closed down
during much of January and February by heavy snow and severe
weather, and that the logging operations were similarly interrupted.
The Canadian Western Lumber Company for instance, after a lengthy
shut down, started operations again on February 19th, but was only
a, to do so after employing 500 men shovelling snow about the
plant.

A New Wholesaler for Toronto

The accompanying portrait will
be recognized by many of our
readers as that of Mr. Jas. R.
Summers, who has recently open-
ed a wholesale lumber office in.
the Tyrrell Bldg., Toronto. Mr.
Summers is well known to the
trade on account of his long con-
nection with Graves, Bigwood
and Company, whom he repre-
sented on the road, chiefly in the
Toronto city trade.

Mr. Summers has had a lengthy
experience in the lumber business.
He was born at New Lowell, Ont.,
then quite an important lumber
manufacturing town. His father
was in the lumber business at that _
place with the’ firm of Hay and
Patton. Subsequently his father
was with the firm of Dobie and
Mercer at Angus, Ont., and Mr.
Jas. R. Summers obtained his first
experience of the lumber business z
with this firm, working for them both in the mill and in the yard.
He thus became intimately acquainted at an early period in his busi-
ness career with manufacturing and inspection details.

Subsequently Mr. Summers entered the employ of the Imperial
Lumber Company, Toronto, for whom he worked for thirteen years,
representing them as a salesman and buyer. Then he was for four
years with the Wm. Laking Lumber Company in a similar capacity,
after which he went to the firm of Graves, Bigwood and Company,
with whom he remained for seven years. During his career as a lum-
ber traveller, Mr. Summers has had experience, not only in the city
trade, but also throughout most of Ontario and much of the States
of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. His former employers, the
firm of Graves, Bigwood and Company found him a capable and effic:-
ent salesman, a fact which will be vouched for also by many of the
trade whom he was in the habit of visiting.

Mr. Summers will deal in both hardwoods and soft woods, special-
izing to a considerable extent in crating and box lumber.

Continued Bad Weather on the Pacific Coast

The situation in connection with logging and manufacturing on
the Pacific Coast, during the first half of February, continued very
unsatisfactory on account of the severe weather. A letter received
from a Vancouver firm under date of February 10th refers to condi-

.tions as follows:—

We have had continued storms since the 27th of December and,
as far as we know, only three or four mills have been running, out of
about forty mills in and around Vancouver. Also, on account of the
deep snow, the logging camps have been forced to close down. The
result is that there will be very little timber on the market when the
mills are ready to operate and our opinion is that there will be very
little volume of shingles available for purchase from. B. C. mills for
several weeks to come, as a number of the mills have orders booked
which they have been unable to fill during the past month or more
and it will be necessary for them to fill them before they take on new
business.

Kiln Drying Refused Stopover Privileges by Railroads

At the weekly meeting of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Tor-
onto Board of Trade on February 18th Mr. A. E. Clark reported that
he had received a communication from J. R. Eaton & Sons of Orillia,
Ont., advising him that the C. P. R. and the G. T. R. were refusing to
include kiln-drying as work in transit, and that when cars were stop-
ped for kiln-drying it was necessary to pay the local rate both in and
out. Mr. Clark suggested that this might be taken up by the Lum-
bermen’s Section. After considerable discussion the matter was
placed in the hands of a committee consisting of Messrs. A. E. Clark,
J. B. Reid and H. G. McDermid, who were instructed to interview Mr.
Marshall the traffic manager of the Board of Trade and discuss the
situation with him.

Mr. Fred McLaren, president of D, K. McLaren, Limited, belting
manufacturers, St. James Street, Montreal, is on a visit to Western
Canada, going as far as Vancouver. One object is to look into busi-
ness conditions and to confer with the company’s representatives in
the west. Mr. McLaren is known to the heads of practically every
lumber firm in the East, and he will doubtless make many new
friends on his western trip, ;

St. John Commission Final Report

~ Canadian and U. S. Members Fail to Agree on Chief
ie Points— Recommendations Presented

St. John, N.B., Feb. 19:—The International Commission pertaining
to the St. John River gave out its report for publication today. After
citing its instructions, the report deals with the questions of piers,

booms and sorting works and shows that the Commissioners have been »

unable to reach an agreement. It outlines the trouble experienced by
the St. John Lumber Company with handling logs on the St. John
ver. The company, acting under legislative authority from the State
Maine, built and maintained works between Van Buren and Ste.
Ine, consisting of piers, booms and sorting works and still main-
them.
‘The Commissioners, on behalf of the Canadian Government, as-
‘that such legislation was ultra vires (contrary to law) and that
s, booms and sorting works so established and maintained are
ction to navigation and in violation of the treaty of 1842.
mmissioners, on behalf of the United States, maintained that
| legislation was intra vires (legal) and that the maintenance
booms and sorting works was a reasonable use of the river
f in violation of the said treaty. The United States Commis-
si s referred to the case of the Blue River Lumber Company on the
_ St. Frances River, a boundary between the two countries. Here the
- company had erected a sawmill on the Canadian side with a produc-
tion of 20,000,000 feet annually and had built a dam across the river,
constituting an impediment to navigation.
~The Commission recommends the development of the water power
at Grand Falls, N. B., and urges that legislation be enacted to safe-
guard the interests of both countries in this connection.

_ Among other recommendations made by the Commission are that
certain channel improvements be made in the St. John River for driv-
ing purposes; that legislation be passed prohibiting the dumping of

mill waste into the river; that various storage dams be built at the

head waters of the St. John River and its tributaries, at the joint

expense of the United States and Canada; and that an international
board of commissioners consisting of three members be appointed to
regulate sorting of intermingled logs, etc. The Canadian Commis-
sioner recommended that the jurisdiction of the present Board over
the sorting of logs should be limited to those parts of the rivers which
are boundary waters according to the treaty of 1842. The United
States Commissioners maintained that the jurisdiction should extend
from Fredericton to the head waters, including Fredericton.

The Canadian Commissioners, and Mr. Keegan, one of the Com-
missioners on behalf of the United States, recommended as follows :—
& That if the storage dams for log driving purposes recommended

in this report be built, it will not be necessary, to meet the require-
ments of log driving, to change the conditions now existing at Cham-

_ berlain and Telos lakes; but, if such dams are not constructed, that
od measures be taken to determine, by international agreement, or by
___ obtaining the judgment of some competent tribunal, whether, by pres-
cription or otherwise, the continued diversion of water by means of
the Telos canal and dam and the Chamberlain dam is lawful; and, if
found to be unlawful, that the said works be taken over by and at the
expense of the State of Maine, and operated under the supervision of
the said board of commissioners for the joint benefit of the St. John
and Penobscot Rivers, giving to each river, so far as may be possible,
an equal share of the stored water, as the exigencies of log driving

conditions may require, and that the cost of maintainence and opera-

tion be borne by the owners of logs in both said rivers in proportion

to their respective quantities of logs, or, failing such an arrangement,

that the Chamberlain and Telos dams be taken down, the Telos canal

closed up, and the waters of the Chamberlain system allowed to run
' in their natural channel down the Allagash River.

James. D. Lacey and Company’s Fine Calendar

_ A splndid calendar for 1916 has been sent out by James D. Lacey

& Company, 332 South Michigan Ave., Chicago, IIl., to their many
friends. The make-up of the calendar is a work of art, being prob-
ably the most tasteful that we have ever been fortunate enough to re-
ceiver. A fine reproduction of a photograph of a forest scene in

_ which the trees are imposing examples of western (Sitka) spruce is
_ the decorative feature of the calendar, being reproduced by a splendid
_ printing process in a rich brown. At the base of one of the huge
_ trees there is shown a “hewer” the most romantic figure in the history
of North American forest operations. The contrast between the im-
_ mensity of the trees and the comparatively diminutive size of the
man, is very striking, and tells at a glance the story intended to be
conveyed by the picture. The illustration is mounted in a handsome
-manner, the effect being that of a rich brown frame with a deep olive
green border between the picture and the frame and a similar border
the outside edge of the frame. The calendar pad is a small one

Pulp and Paper Men Hold Meeting

Annual Gathering at Montreal— President Reports
Sound Trade Conditions—Officers Elected

The annual meeting of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association
was held recently at Montreal, Mr. I. H. Weldon presiding. There
was a large attendance from all parts of the country.

In the course of his address, Mr. Weldon said:

“On several occasions we have conferred with the Minister of
Finance, Sir Thomas White, and his colleagues, on the matter of
tariffs, and as a deputation have furnished him with our views and
given him the information which he desired. We have always re-
ceived the most kindly consideration, and are of the opinion that no
adverse tariffs affecting this industry will be consummated without
the Department first considering our interests and consulting our
judgment.

“With considerable pride I refer to the extremely valuable work
which this Association has done in the fight against the proposed in-
crease by the Eastern Freight Association. We obtained from our
members the approximate tonnage affected by this increase, and
found that the increase would cost our industry $209,000 yearly. The
saving to us of such an enormous amount which, in our judgment,
was being unfairly exacted, required the putting forth of the most
strenuqus effort.

“The pulp and paper industry in Canada during the past year has
greatly increased its exports and diminished its imports, and com-
pares most favorably with any of the leading industries in Canada.
We are fortunate that this industry has not been affected by the pre-
sent war, nor is it necessary for us to manufacture war supplies in
order to keep our mills engaged. The prospects for the future
promise an unlimited sale for our product, both at home and abroad.
Our manufacturing costs have increased; the supply of certain ma-

_ terials used in the manufacture of special grades is difficult to obtain,

and we will doubtlessly experience most unusual conditions occa-
sioned by the present war, but for the industry on the whole we
should entertain no fears for the future with our inestimable wealth
of forests and our unlimited water powers, both of which largely re-
present the basis of the industry.”

Mr. A. G. Campion, chairman of the news section, commented
upon the improvement in the news print industry. While stocks
were low, markets were good, and there was reason to believe that
the increased tonnage of just over 200 tons per day which would come
on to the market during the year would be readily marketed.

The report of the secretary treasurer showed a favorable balance.

Mr. J. H. A. Acer of the Laurentide Company was elected pre-
sident. and Mr. C. Howard Smith, vice-president.

After the termination of the business meeting the various sec-
tions held their meetings, at which the following chairmen were
elected: chemical pulp, Mr. Carl Riordon, Riordon Pulp & Paper Com-
pany, Montreal; mechanical pulp, Mr. J. A. Bothwell, Brompton Pulp
and Paper Co., East Angus, P. Q.; news, Mr. A. G. Campion, Belgo-
Canadian Pulp & Paper Co., Montreal; board, Mr. J. F. Taylor, E. B.
Eddy Co., Hull, P. Q.; book and writing, Mr. I. H. Weldon, Provin-
cial Paper Mills Co. Ltd., Toronto; felt paper, Mr. E. R. Pepin, Mon-
treal Paper Co., Portneuf, P. Q.; coated paper, Mr. F. H. Gage, Kin-
leith Paper Co., Toronto.

After a visit to the experimental paper mill at the Forests Pro-
ducts Laboratories of Canada, the members again met, when Mr. A.
G. Pounsford, of the Canadian Fibre Co., Canton, North Carolina,
delivered an address upon safety work, illustrated by moving pictures.

In the evening the members held their annual dinner, with Mr.
Acer presiding.

Mr. C. H. L. Jones, of the Spanish River Pulp and Paper Mills,
spoke.

Hon. Jules Allard, Minister of Lands and Forests, Quebec, P. Q.,
is preparing a bill to be introduced.in the Legislature which will
amend the Quebec forest laws and provide further protection for
forests against fire. The amendments under consideration will pro-
hibit settlers from clearing timber in summer months without a per-
mit from a Government forest ranger; will require limit holders to
clear trees for a distance of at least 100 feet on each side of railway
tracks, and will provide that persons between 19 and 50 years of age
may be called on to assist Government officials in fighting forest fires
if their services are needed and they have no valid reason for refusing.
Their payment will be from $1.50 to $2 a day.

The Wilson Lumber Company, Portland, Me., have sent out to
their friends in the trade an attractive calendar for 1915. The make
up of the calendar is very artistic, consisting of a handsome colored

photograph of a scene in the woods. entitled “The Edge of the Lake,”

the picture being mounted on a cream board with a couple of soft
tinted borders.

orkmen’s Compensation in Ontario

Reports from Employers in Lumber Industry—Premiums Much Too High—Some
Regrouping Advisable—Act Widely Approved

The Ontario Workmen’s Compensation Act has now been in
operation for a little over a year. One year 1s not a sufficient length of
time for judging the merits or faults of so important a change in in-
surance methods against accident liability, but it 1s a sufficient length
of time in which to form an idea as to the working out of some of its
main points and to derive guidance from them for the future admin-
istration of the act. With this object in view we recently wrote to a
number of Ontario lumber manufacturers asking them to let us have
an account of their experiences under the act. Extracts from some
of the replies we received are as follows :—

Too Wide in Scope—Good Points and Bad

Our chief objection to the Act is that the system of calculating the
assessments is unfair, as we are obliged to include in our returns the wages
paid to almost everyone who is even remotely connected with our operations,
whether exposed to hazard or not. In this connection, we might mention
the cooks and stable-men employed at our camps, and the crews of our tug-
boats. We are also compelled to include the wages of fire-rangers, whose
duties are to patrol the forest, to watch for and extinguish fires, but who are
miles away from our actual operations. In fact, office clerks are practically
the only employees whose wages are exempt.

Then again, in our opinion, the provision made for the dependents of a
workman who loses his life ought to be somewhat more elastic, so as to cover
special cases. We give, as an instance, the case of one of our employees who
was killed at our mills last spring. This man’s family were all grown up,
but he left behind him two unmarried daughters who were certainly dependent
upon their father for support; yet because they were over the age limit for
dependent children, the Board could make no compensation allowance what-
ever.

During the season just closed, we believe we had a larger number of
accidents than in any year of our history, yet the total amount paid by the
Board to injured employees was approximately $780.00, whereas the amount
of premium paid by us was $4,740.00.

There is no doubt that the Act is, to a certain extent, beneficial to both
employer and employee. To the latter, it ensures generous (though in some
instances, we feel, too generous) treatment, in case of partial or total dis-
ability. On the other hand, the employer is saved the necessity of making
settlements with injured employees, which often involve litigation owing to
the unjust nature of the latter’s demands. Our experience has been, how-
ever, that we can purchase this immunity, from one of the various employers’
liability companies at only a very small fraction of what it now costs us under
the Workmen’s Compensation Act.

% * *

~ Premium Rate Far Too High

While we have found the officers of the Compensation Board uniformly
courteous, we feel that the amount and rates exacted, at any rate from the
smaller concerns, have been unfairly large, and, judging by our experience,
much greater than was necessary to meet the claims. The amount originally
demanded from us was $455. We protested against this assessment, whici
was between three and four times what we estimated it should be. After
considerable correspondence, we were surprised to receive a letter from one
of the higher officials intimating that, (long after the assessment on us was
made), the matter was only then drawn to his attention for the first time.
From this it would appear that the important matter of the assessment made
by some member of the clerical staff. We made the first payment as per-
mitted under the Act, and protested against any further demand being made
on this account. The official also said that this might be doing us an in-
justice. In checking up the total wages for the year, we find that even the
amount paid in is about $35.00 more than the class percentages of the pay
rolls call for. Owing to the demoralization of the lumber trade for the past
year or more it has been next to impossible to make as close an estimate of
the pay roll as might be done under normal conditions. :

So far as accidents are concerned, there was only one minor accident,
which occurred in our shingle mill, due to the admitted carelessness of the
employee, who suffered a slight flesh wound from putting his hand on the
shingle saw, in consequence of which he was laid off for seven or eight days.

So far as actual results are concerned, we have paid in $227.50, and the
actual amount paid out by the Board on this. account was between $4.00 and
$5.00. So far as the assessment on us is concerned, we have had to pay
in to the Board more than fifty times what claims have amounted to.

Under the old system of insurance against accidents, with Employers’
Liability Companies, the amount of the premiums was less than half what we
have had to pay in to the Workmen’s Compensation Board. Judging from
the Factory Inspection Report, 1914, it seems to us that the smaller con-

cerns are actually paying much more in proportion to their accident claims —
than is being paid by the larger corporations, who appear to have the grea e1
percentage of accidents. So far as we are concerned, we feel that an ins
justice has been done us, and a much larger amount exacted than the pas’
year’s experience gives any warrant for. We understand that it is not the
intention of the Board to afford any relief from this, even to the extent of
plying the excess amounts collected in 1915 on 1916 account. The very

pressed condition of the lumber market during the past year or more,

made it hard enough for the average lumber concern to carry on busine
without having to bear this additional burden.

When it is considered that the intention of this Act was primarily to give ©
protection and compensation to employees for injury, sickness or death, re- —
sulting from the hazards of their occupation, without the expense, delay and
uncertainty of recourse to the courts, it must be conceded that its working
during the first year has proven on the whole, satisfactory, particularly so to
the employees who received the benefits without being called upon to con-
tribute anything towards the funds necessary for its successful operating.
As the provisions of this Act become more generally known, there will

be found a strong tendency on the part of slackers and ne’er-do-wells to take
advantage of those provisions in the Act relating to sickness. Injuries and
death are self-evident, but sickness and internal complaints are too open to be
taken advantage of, and it is to be regretted that many physicians allow their
sympathy for, or desire to stand in with the claimant or his class, to bias their

judgment in signing certificates. -

We believe the two per cent. fixed upon for logging operations is alto-
gether too high, as our experience of more than twenty years—and we be-
lieve that this will be found general—is, that there is a smaller percentage of
sickness, accident or death in this, than any other branch of the lumbering
business. This percentage will no doubt be adjusted during the present year.
on the basis of the first year’s actual experience.

Our premium for last year was $1,173.60, which will be increased slightly
through the estimated pay rolls being somewhat less than the actual, while
the total indemnities collected were less than $500, principally trivial accidents
and sickness. ;

There can be no comparison of cost as, previous to the coming in force
of this act, a general accident insurance policy was carried by which every
man on the payroll was charged $1.00 per month, which the company collected
and transmitted to the insurance company in return for which a blanket policy
providing indemnities in case of sickness, injury, or accidental death, accord-
ing to schedule, was issued.

The premium collected under the Workmen’s Compensation Act is thus
a direct tax levied on the business.

No Complaints To Make be

We have, to a certain extent, been fortunate regarding accidents here, and
they have caused us no great expense during past years. When the Com-
pensation Act was first. brought to our attention we were opposed to it and
wrote to our local member and also to the head office, and when we were
called upon for our assessment we thought it a little high. This we under-
stand was the case in most instances. At the present time we do not know
what it cost us last year, as we have not as yet received credit or a call for
1917 assessment. ;

We had a little experience last year with this Act. A young man had
been with us about ten days when he cut the top of his thumb on the jointer.
This laid him off a month and he received $8.00 a week for five weeks and —
later received a.cheque for $82.00. He may have received more as we un-
derstood at the time that they intended granting him another cheque. We
wrote them that we were of the opinion that, considering the nature of the
accident and the circumstances, they were very liberal in their views. as

Our view of the matter is that to some extent the smaller manufactanees a
will help the larger concerns. Taking our own business, it cost us only ©
what we considered right to grant compensation to anyone meeting with an
accident in our employ, previous to last year; but after a year’s operation of
the act and trusting to receive a rebate on last year’s assessment, we have no
complaint to make. :

There is a little matter we have to contend with since this act came in
force, previous to the act we had only to protect what machinery the’ factory
inspector might see fit to order, and his inspection was of good character, but
now we have an inspection by the association formed by the owners of some
of the mills and this inspection has been accepted and backed by the Com-

~ 7 Working Satisfactorily But Rate Considered Excessive

So. far, our experience has been that the Workmen’s Compensation Act
; worked out satisfactorily, insofar as taking care of the men is concerned.
ere seems to have been no undue delay in dealing with any case that has
to our notice and we feel that it is the proper way to take care of in-
es to workmen. The rate. however, seems to be entirely excessive. We
are that the original assessment was only provisional and in all prob-
1€ commissioners had no very clear data to work from, but looking at
tter from our standpoint, it would seem to us that the cost of the com-

arded peainot by the employers of bale and the commission, is the

Act and the Ontario Medical Act as it applies to men in camp.

The general idea of compensation is good, since it does away with a great
deal of friction between the employer and the men who now understand there
is a law to protect them. On the other hand the rate is entirely too high
when you consider the rates charged by companies in the past, which paid for
injuries, I believe, more than the present rates. Formerly there were a
good many companies to stand these losses whereas now there is only one
which is a safer proposition.

The cost to us at present is greater than in former years when we partly
took our own risk and also partly insured.

* * *
Compensation Too Generous Sometimes

In our judgment, the assessments are higher than are necessary. For
1915 we paid $1,322 while the Board paid out to injured employees and de-
pendants a little over $300, or in other words our payment exceeded by about
$1,000 what was paid out to workingmen and dependents.

Scarcely any of the small accidents which occurred were such that we
would have been liable, as in the majority of cases injuries were sustained as a
result of carelessness on the part of employees. We do not think our total
payments for twenty-five years preceding the act going into force amounted
to as much as was paid out by the board for 1915 on our account.

In some cases compensation paid is in excess of what it should be, for
instance we had one boy 14 years of age employed in our picket mill at $1.25
per day, two days before the mill closed he had his hand cut on a saw. Had
this not occurred he would have received $2.50 in wages and we understand
intended going to school when the mill closed. The Board paid him $18.31.

\ + * *

Now Costing Six Times More Than Formerly
We paid the Workmen’s Compensation Board $648 premium and had one
claim upon them which was settled for something under $30. In the last ten
or fifteen years of our operations in the woods, we have not paid $1,000 in
claims for accidents, nor have we had any suit against us, but have been
willing and anxious always to reimburse our men for any loss by accident
sustained by them whether it was their fault or ours.

You will see therefore, that in the next ten years, if we have the same
ratio of accidents. we will pay out to the Government $6,480 approximately in
premiums and before we would have paid out $1,000 in claims, so that we con-
sider that this new form of insurance costs us approximately six times as
much as it did before and we believe that we are carrying others in our
group who are not as careful as we are, to that extent.

* * *
Perfectly Satisfied But Paying Too Much

We are perfectly satisfied with the Workmen’s Compensation Act. We
think, however, that we, as sawmill owners, are unduly penalized by the rate
enforced against sawmills. We do not think that log driving and sawmill
work should be in the same classification.

We have run our sawmill for thirteen seasons. We have never had a
man seriously injured in our sawmill or lumber yard, and if the rate that we
are today paying had been in force for the past thirteen years, it would have
paid full time for any workman who might have been slightly injured, we
think at least a thousand times over.

We presume that as the Commission get more information, they will re-
classify certain industries that they have now -grouped together, and if this
can be done in the proper way, neither ourselves nor anyone engaged in
business has any reason to make complaint.

* * *

It is rather soon for us to give any opinion on the working out of the
Workmen’s Compensation Act. as we only expected to pay out a small wage
last year, and so returned the expected amount, but after the season was over
we found we had paid out about double the figured amount. We then sent
another statement to the Commission stating this fact, but up to this time
we have not heard how much more we will have to pay. The premium we
expect to have to pay will cost us more than the insurance we have been
carrying for some years, but that is owing to our having had only one serious
accident since our company started business. During the year just past we
have had no accident whatever. So far as our employees are concerned they
have not had any accidents, therefore know nothing about the working of the

Act.
* * *

Costing Three Times as Much

In regard to the Ontario Workmen’s Compensation Act and the way it is
working out with us, we find on looking up the amounts we have already paid
and what we will probably have to pay later on, that it has cost us for the
past year, three times as much as it would have cost under previous conditions.
We have had several minor accidents which, under the previous mode of in-
surance, the workmen would have got pay for, but for some reason only one
of them got any pay and that was only $6.60. We find that it involves a
great deal more work reporting these accidents; there is more red tape con-
nected with it and our workmen are not as well satisfied under the present

arrangement as they were previously. We fail to see wherein the workmen
are benefited by this Act and we certainly are not. From our experience so
far, we fail to see where any one is benefited unless it may be those con-
nected by the administration of the Act for the Government.

Bet g) fk *

Rate Charged Unreasonable

First thing, I think the rate charged under the Workmen’s Compensation
Act is out of reason. Ever since I have been in business I have always car-
ried employees’ liabilities, and the company seemed to be making money out
of the rate charged or they would not have continued it, and now the rate
charged by the Government is two and a half times as much. We have been
very fortunate here, not having many accidents, only had a few small ones
of.late. With the Workmen’s Compensation Act everything is in favor of the
employees, no matter how well the employer keeps up his plant. For my
part I think the men should be well treated, but do not think the Government
should burden the employer with such heavy rates.

* * *

Advantage To Employees Is Doubtful

We have gone over our records and find that we have had several small
accidents and most of the injured employees received about half their wages,
which, with their loss of time, did not more than pay their doctor bill. We
do not think the scheme is very advantageous for them. Personally we think
it is alright, although the rates, on logging especially, are too high compared
with other risks which are more hazardous. The number of injured in log-
ging with about 600 men is only about 3 men, whereas in the manufacturing
line with probably about 150 men there are about 5 injured, and this is on a
lower rate.

As to benefits received, it is too early to discuss them. We think the
idea is alright, although the rates are a good deal higher than we should pay.

* * *

The only experience we have had with the Workmen’s Compensation Act
so far. has been to pay our premium on our pay roll and make some im-
provements as required around our planing mill. So far, we are pleased to
state, we have had no accidents. The rate of premium is 1,80. This covers
cur entire pay roll. We are not advised as to whether there is a difference
We
know, however, that there is a difference in the risk between the two classes
as far as liabilities are concerned.

ae *

In our opinion we could have done without the Workmen's Compensation
Act as, this last year we have been practically doing nothing and the act did
not effect us to any extent.’ We had a‘fair.law before with government in-
spection of factories and mills. The only easy way out of it is to run a gen-
eral store and lumber and log on side. There can be a good trade in that

way and escape the Compensation Act.

In ten years past we have only had a loss of $60 for compensation. So
far as we can find out by statements concerning last year, the cost of main-
taining directors and staff for the Compensation Act amounts to 54 per cent.
of the amounts of the compensation paid out to injured employees.

* * *

Although the Workmen’s Compensation Act has been working for a year,
the actual cost to the employer is not yet known, so that whatever the merits
or disadvantages in the bill may be, they cannot be intelligently discussed
until the actual operating cost to the employer is known, Within six months
this should be fairly well settled and everyone should then be in a position
to form an intelligent opinion of the act.

* * *

I had not very much experience with the Workmen’s Compensation Act as
no injuries happened to any of my men, but I am quite satisfied with the plan

of the Compensation Act.
* * *

We are hardly in a position to judge as to the working of the Workmen’s
Compensation Act, as, while we have been charged certain premiums, we have
not yet been advised whether these premiums have been in excess of the re-
quirements of the Compensation Boards or otherwise. It would appear to
me that this act, if not abused by the workmen, should work out very satis-
factorily. We will be able to give our views more fully after we know what
the results of the first year have been, and the premiums it is proposed to
assess for this year.

* * *

The premiums we paid to the Compensation Board for 1915 were about
three times the amount paid to injured employees by the Board. If this
condition has been general. the Board should be able to make considerable
reduction in the rates charged lumbermen.

* * om
I think it is rather premature to pass an opinion on the Compensation

Act, it having been only a year in force. It is an Act which will require
time to bring about a just and fair rating. No doubt we are all rated too high

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER:

St. Maurice Protective Association

The St. Maurice Forest Protective Association, Limited, held their
fourth annual meeting recently at the Place Viger Hotel, Montreal.
The report of the president, Mr. S. Laurence de Carteret, stated that
the scope and influence of the association had increased materially
during the past year, and the introduction of new methods have raised
the degree of efficiency attained.

Most satisfactory advances have been made in eliminating indis-
criminate slash burning on farmers’ lots in clearing land. Use of
burning permits in an experimental way during the season of 1914
gave such encouraging results that in 1915 a widespread effort was
made throughout the territory of the association to have all slash in
clearings burned under the supervision of fire rangers in conjunction
with burning permits.

No forest fires occurred from burnings conducted in this manner,
and these results have carried much weight with the Department of
Lands and Forests when the desirability of the use of burning per-
mits throughout the province has been under consideration.

Among the changes desired being urged upon the Government
are: No setting of fires to clear land between April lst and Novem-
ber 15th without written permits; penalty for refusal to fight fire
when called on to do so; increase in penalties for infractions of fire
laws; an established minimum for each offence. The consideration
given to these proposals by the Minister of Lands and Forests give
promise of adequate measures being passed. A distinct advance in
preventing fires was made in placing special rangers on the river
drives and with improvement gangs. This, with the co-operation of
the foremen, should eventually eliminate fires from these sources.

It has been suggested that the members of the association issue
written instructions to their woods employees advising them that pre-
venting and extinguishing fires is their first duty, and the president
suggested that a standard set of instructions to employees pertaining
to forest protection, for use by all the members of this association,
should be drawn up.

During the past fire season the total number of fires was 27 per
cent, less than during that of 1914, while the number of fires requiring
extra labor was reduced 20 per cent. Several hundred miles of portage
and trail had again been cut and cleared, making communication easier
and quicker. Nine more lookout stations were constructed, making a
total of twenty-three.

Good trails had been cut to all these stations with the intention
of connecting them to the nearest telephone lines.

The financial statement showed receipts of $37,757.45 and ex-
penditures of $36,509.52, leaving a balance of $1,247.93. The regular
assessment for patrol and general expense was a quarter of a cent
per acre, totalling $19,731.94. On December 2nd a special assess-
ment of one-tenth of a cent per acre was voted for general uses, prin-
cipally to cover the expenses incurred in fighting fires. The area
patrolled held by members of the association was 7,892, 776 acres, to
which must be added the settled districts adjoining, but from which
no income is derived, and Government lands not under license. The
expense in fighting fires during the past season was only 56 per cent.
of that during the season of 1914, and a large percentage of the timber
killed by fire in 1915 is so located that it can be logged during this
and next winter.

Mr. Henry Sorgius, manager, reported that during the season
628 burning permits were issued. Not one of the burnings started
under this system got beyond control, nor did any damage result
therefrom. Through the use of the system the number of settlers’
fires had been greatly reduced in the territory, as the following com-
parison showed :—1913, 151 fires; 1914, 80 fires; and 1915, 41 fires.
The results obtained during the past year were fully sufficient to
warrant the demand that no burning of slash should take place be-
tween April lst and November 15th, except under the permit system.

Suit had been brought against eighteen offenders against the fire
laws. Six of these cases were won, four lost, and eight were still
pending.

Between April 15th and October 22nd, 169 fires, caused as fol-
lows, were extinguished :—berry pickers, 7; campers, 3: dam keepers,
2; fishermen and sportsmen, 7; improvement crews, 6; Indians, 2;
jobbers, 2; lightning, 4; lunch fires, 4; old fires, 4; railroads, 35; river
drivers, 17; settlers, 41 ; squatters, 1; and unknown, 34.

The suggestion of the president that the members prepare a stand-
ard set of instructions to employees pertaining to forest protection was
adopted.

The following officers were elected: President, Mr. Ellwood Wil-
son, Laurentide Company, Limited; vice- president, Mr. Robert F.
Grant, St. Maurice Lumber-Company ; directors, Messrs. Joe. M. Dal-
ton, St. Maurice Paper Company, Limited; Charles LeBrun, Belgo-
Canadian Pulp and Paper Company, Limited: S. Laurence de Carteret,

Ae budget of comment on men and things of moment presented in the
interest of our readers, independent of party politics
and with malice toward no one.

I wonder what Premier Hearst and his friends think now of J. R. Fallis,
and at the same time | would like to know whether Sir Robert Borden has
seen the handwriting upon the wall. Fallis is the man who used to repre-
sent Peel county, Ontario, in the local legislature. The Davidson Commis-
sion showed him up in connection with profits he is said to have made in pur-
chasing horses for the Government. Many a man has disappeared from public
life for dealings of this kind, but Fallis did not see it this way; neither did
Premier Hearst. Fallis simply resigned and sought vindication by the re-
election route. Peel county electors took a different view of it, however,
and turned Fallis’ former majority of 627 into a Liberal majority of over 300;
a turn over of about 1,000 votes. They have given the first public reply to
profiteering methods.

Fallis’ defeat is a lesson for Fallis, and a pretty clear announcement of the
downfall of any others who follow his ideals. If Fallis had made his com-
mission honestly on the horse deals he should have kept it. Handing it
over for a patriotic purpose and then seeking re-election was too much for
independent Conservatives to stomach. They simply felt that a member of
the Government, in his own interest even, should keep his skirts clear, and
they went out and voted against Fallis.

When will political leaders in Canada realize that honesty is the best
policy and that a clean Government would remain in power indefinitely? That
is what I have been trying hard to hammer in, but the task grows more and
more difficult, and the Government, instead of taking my good intentions at
their face value, has been misconstruing them and classing me with its
enemies. If Sir Robert Borden-would rise above party politics he would
realize that behind these criticisms there lies the best friend the Government
could have—the independent citizen who would gladly see him measure up to
the stature of a clean and a great political leader.

If Sir Robert Borden fails to see the Peel result in the light of a warning
closely related to the Shell Committee situation, he ought at least to recognize
it as a public assurance that the people will stand behind him if he tries to
stamp out the profiteering business. The defeat of Fallis cannot be taken as
a Conservative defeat or as a Liberal victory. It is an announcement of the
public temper about profiteering and what it means to any party which fails
to stamp it out.

Here is the opinion of a strong Conservative paper (The Montreal Daily
Star) on the events in Peel County:—

“BRAVO! PEEL COUNTY:—The electors of Peel County, Ont., are
worthy of public congratulation and universal gratitude from the entire people
of Canada. Their late member in the Provincial Legislature was a profes-
sional cattle dealer, who was entrusted by the Militia Department with the
purchase of horses for military service. He pocketed a profit on the trans-
action—an unforgivable act in a public representative. It is true that when
he saw the business in its true light he resigned his seat and turned his profits
over to a war fund.

“But he made a mistake in asking his county to re-elect him, They could
not do that without seeming to condone his course. So, though they voted
Conservative by a majority of 627 two years ago, they voted for his Liberal
opponent this time by a majority of 335. That is the right brand of political
independence. That is the true way to make use of our party system. We
should never allow ourselves to be hypnotized or overawed by it. We should
not be its servants—it should always be ours. We should be ready to vote
against a bad policy, a bad principle, or a bad man, no matter what label he
wears. In this case, it seems chiefly to have been a bad principle—the prin-
ciple that a public representative can be-permitted to make money out of war
purchases which pass through his hands.”

When Colonel J. Wesley Allison gave evidence some time ago before
the Davidson Commission he stated that he “was not the agent of any com-
pany which sold pistols to the Government” and did not profit “in any way,
directly or indirectly,” by such sale. Major General Sir Sam Hughes, how-
ever, now classes him as his special confidential agent in securing munition

supplies in the United States, and in cutting down war combine prices charged °

there. The latest evidence about this special confidential agent was read
before the commission a few days ago. Samuel M. Stone, vice-president of
the Colt Patent Fire Arms Company of Hartford, Conn., tells of an order for

5,000 pistols given to the company, after a conference between the chairman’

of the company’s board, Colonel Allison, and General Hughes at Moira, N. Y.
He states that the Canadian Government paid $18.50 for each pistol, while
the U.S. Government has for years been able to buy them for $14,50, and that
dealers could buy them nearly 20 per cent. cheaper. Mr. Stone adds that
the company gave Col. Allison a “present,” a very small one indeed consider-
ing his services, but a “present” for all that, and that he “would not like to”
consider Colonel Allison one of our regular staff.” *

At present Colonel Allison is in Florida for his health. When he comes
back we are told he will be called upon to give more information. Perhaps
we will then get at the facts—learn how much he got for a “present” and just
what he considered his duties to be, as Major-General Sir Sam Hughes’ spe
cial confidential agent for keeping down war combine prices. Perhaps t G
we shall be given an inside account of the conference at Moira betweet
Colonel Allison, General Hughes and the chairman of the Colt Company’
Board. —

Gen. Sir Sam Hughes is reported to be taking steps to organize a
battalion of woodsmen in Canada. The War Office has asked that
this be done and the Minister has already drawn up plans for raising —
and officering such a battalion. Prominent lumbermen have expressed —
their willingness to co-operate in raising the battalion. Companies —
will be recruited from among the experienced woodsmen of Ontario, —
Quebec, New Brunswick, British Columbia, Alberta and the northern
districts of Saskatchewan. Lieut.-Col. Alex. McDougall, of Ottawa, —
will be in command, and it is expected that the Majors will be Gerald —
White, M. P. for North Renfrew, and R. B. Hepburn, of Prince —
Edward. ox ;

In a report recently submitted to the Hon. the Minister of Lands
on conditions in the Cranbrook Forest District, mention is made of
the severity of the weather, the snowfall in certain sections of that
country being heavier this winter than for many years. While this
has compelled many logging operators to suspend activities for th
time being, there is every prospect of a cut of fifty million feet. Quite
a number of ranchers throughout the district are taking out logs, the |
sawmills buying all that are offered. In the spring the Columbia
River Lumber Company intend to begin logging their limits on

Bugaboo Creek. oN

James A. McNair and associates have leased the British Can-
adian Lumber Corporation shingle mill at Coal Harbor, Vancouver, |
from the representative of the bondholders, and the plant will likely
be started up early in March following some needed repairs to the
building. Eight or nine machines will be operated. fe AR Pa

At the meeting of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto Board

_of Trade held on February 18th, Mr. E. D. Hardy, insurance. broker, of
Ottawa, was present and delivered an address in regard to inter-in-
surance on sawmills, lumber yards, etc. This subject was recently
cen up by the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association at its annual
ng at Ottawa and was referred to a committee. The committee
orted at a directors’ meeting held in Ottawa during the second
in February. The proposition to establish an inter-insurance
nization in connection with sawmills, lumber yards, etc., was then
ved by the directors of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association,
it was decided that the Association as a body should not take the
tter up, but should recommend it and give it individual assistance
far as possible. The plan is being worked out by Mr. Hardy
lines which are proving acceptable to lumbermeni and is meeting
a great deal of encouragement.

a 3 In his remarks before the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto
Board of Trade, Mr. Hardy said that they were trying to treat the

matter of inter-insurance among lumbermen as a family affair, and
not in any way to antagonize the old-line companies. There were
four generally recognized forms of insurance. he said. First were the
stock companies, second the Lloyds, third the mutuals, such as the
Lumber Mutuals in the United States and fourth the Inter-insurance
organizations. Inter-insurance simply amounts to the exchange of
__indemnities between lumbermen through an attorney whom they
__ appointed to act in their behalf.

‘oe Eliminating the “Conflagration Hazard”
Pan In connection with fire insurance the element of “conflagration
hazard” had always been an unknown factor leading to high rates and

_ frequent losses. Fortunately, in the case of the inter-insurance or-

_ ganizations such as those formed by lumbermen, insurance could be
confined to lumber plants.

Most of the lumber risks were more or
less isolated and in some towns there would only be one risk in the
whole locality. Stock companies, taking various lines of risks in one
_ locality were unable to strike an adequate rate and were often obliged
e to charge a rate based more or less on experience which in some cases
: _ would prove to be too high. In the stock plan of insurance any pro-
fits from the operations of the company went back to the surplus of
_ the company, or into the pockets of the shareholders. The policy
holders only participated in the paying of premiums.
: In the case of the Lloyds, the underwriters guaranteed the liabil-
ity. They paid up a certain amount and were therefore lable to the
extent of their private fortunes and in that case of course while there
was a Saving at the start, there was no return to the policy holders in
_ the form of a dividend ora profit. Inthe case of the Lumber Mutuals
_ the operation resembled _a little more closely that of the inter-insurance
plan, the resemblance being that after the profits had been determined
_the board of directors voted what percentage ‘of the profits should be
returned to the policy holders in the form of Dividends. Some of the
_ mutuals were returning 40 per cent. of the premiums and applying a
_ substantial amount to surplus.

’ Insurance Provided at Actual Cost

e ‘The Inter-insurance plan provided indemnity at actual cost. The
_ premium receipts were placed on one side of the ledger and against
__ them on the other side were placed the operating expenses, estimated
_ from long experience at 20 per cent. When the losses commenced
_ to come in they were apportioned pro rata over the premiums, so that
_ each policy holder bore his proportionate share of each loss. Then
_ at the end of the year there was placed to the credit of the subscriber
ot policy holder all the profits standing to his credit on the books after
_ providing for losses and expenses. The inter-insurance plan simply
_ distributed the losses over the premiums. By confining operations to
_ the very best class of risks and establishing a rigid inspection service
_ they reduced the loss ratio to a minimum.

Mr. Hardy explained that a United States company which he re-
_ presented in Canada had been operating an inter-insurance organiza-

tion in Canada under this form, under the name of the Lumbermen’s
te Indemnity Contract.

~Lumbermen Form Insurance Exchange

Inter-insurance Organization Approved by C.L.A.—Being Worked Out as an Individual
: Scheme—To Provide Insurance at Cost

would fetire and allow the organization to be converted into a Can-
adian one.

Mr. Hardy explained that the idea was to organize in Canada a
Lumbermen’s Insurance Exchange. By the arrangement made with
the New York representatives it would be possible for the Exchange
to obtain at the outset the benefit of the time, labor and expense that
had been involved in bringing the organization up to its present stage.
All that was required was a deposit of $20,000 to be handed to the
Government. Ottawa lumbermen had been strongly in favor of this
arrangement and many of them had already subscribed to the plan,
so that they now had 50 per cent. of the amount required. The sub-
scriptions were being taken in the form of Government war loan
bonds recommended by the Government as a perfectly good and stable
security, paying 5 per cent.

The organization now have roughly $1,500,000 worth of insurance
on their books with premiums of about $35,000. Last year they had
reinsured all their business and although they had to pay for reinsur-
ance practically the same rates as they received they had been able
to pay all their expenses and would show a profit of about 15 per
cent. to subscribers. If they had not reinsured and had known that
they were not going to have any fire loses, the profit to subscribers
would have been 60 per cent. This year they hoped that they would
be in a position to assume some of their own liabilities and if they had
an equally favorable year the results would be all the more gratifying.

Experience in Western Canada

Mr. J. L. Campbell, at the request of the chairman, outlined the
experience of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association in the
Prairie Provinces. He stated that the Western Retail Lumbermen
had been paying on a basis of $2.50 about twelve years ago. The old
line companies refused to reduce that rate. The lumbermen then
established a company of their own. All those who joined paid a
premium equal to what they had been paying to the old line com-
They were soon able to commence building up a surplus
and to reduce their premiums. This continued from year to year
and they were still building up a surplus and reducing their rates.
They had now brought the rate down to something like 30 or 40c
and were still building up the surplus.

This association was confined entirely to retailers. It did not
touch the manufacturers because the retailers considered that the
manufacturing risk was too hazardous. Mr. Campbell was inclined
to favor the organization of an inter-insurance association ‘which
would confine itself in the first place to retail lumbermen, being
doubtful whether it could-be successfully applied to the manufac-
turing risks. 1 ,

Mr. Hardy thought it Would be rather unkind to the manufactur-
ers to exclude them from this form of protection. . The question was
simply one of determining what rate should apply to the manufac-
turers or to the retailers. The large manufacturers had been the
first to recognize the advantages of this form of indemnity. The ~
largest inter-insurance companies in the United States were con-
trolled by lumbermen who catered to the manufacturers first of all.
Their income had been largely built up on the manufacturing business
and it was an exception whenever they insured retail yards. In
Ottawa the largest lumber firms, those of J. R. Booth and W. C.
Edwards and Company were now using this class of indemnity first
and then filling up the balance of their requirements with old line
companies.

Mr. Campbell stated that he had no intention of throwing any
cold water upon the proposal, but he suggested that the manufactur-
ers should take it up as a class for themselves and that the retailers
should do likewise.

Mr. Hardy added that while it might be true that the retail
dealers as a class had shown a better fire record than the manufac-
turers, still it was not entirely clear to him that this was the case.
There had been numerous fires among retailers in Montreal, if not in
Toronto. The plan he had outlined would not involve an injustice
to any one class, provided the rate were made commensurate to the
risk and the profits were divided in proportion to the premiums. It
was simply a matter of adjusting the rates to the hazards. There

- Was no inequality that could not be met by graduating the rates.

At the conclusion of Mr. Hardy’s address a vote of thanks was
moved by Mr. J. L. Campbell and unanimously carried.
We understand that during his visit to Toronto Mr. Hardy suc-

British Columbia Western Soft Pine

Qualities and Uses of an Important B. C. Product

“British Columbia Western Soft Pine” is the title of a new bul-
letin (number 17) which has been issued by the B. C. Forest Branch.
The bulletin which bears a cover picture of B. C. Western Soft Pine
trees in the forest, contains an extensive description of the wood and
its uses. Western Soft Pine is sold under various trade names. In
British Columbia it is known as Western Soft Pine and also as
Mountain Western Pine. In Idaho and Washington it is known as
Western Soft Pine; in California as California White Pine; and in
Arizona as Arizona White Pine.

The tree grows almost everywhere in the Pacific and Rocky
Mountain forest regions from Southern British Columbia to Mexico.
It is, in fact, one on the most widely distributed and important of the
western timber trees. The total stand of Western ‘Soft Pine timber
is greater than that of any other pine in North America.

The tree is usually smoothly cylindrical and straight, with a long
narrow open crown of large branches. In British Columbia the
height of mature trees is usually from 80 to 100 feet and the diameter
from 2 to 4 feet, though many of them grow much larger. The bark
of the mature tree is . om 2 to 3 inches “ehicle and is reddish yellow in
color. Partly on account of the dry climate which characterizes its
range, it is a tree of slow, even growth, producing wood of fine grain
and quality. The species is long lived; trees have been found which
were over 600 years old.

The Wood

The wood of Western Soft Pine is soft, light, strong in propor-
tion to its weight, works very easily and smoothly without splinter-
ing or splitting, and readily takes and holds paints, stains and varn-
ishes. It seasons unusually: well, being very free from warping and
checking, and once seasoned holds its shape without shrinking or
swelling. It varies in color and texture according as to whether it
comes from the outer or inner part of the tree.

The outer wood of the treé is yellowish white in color, with a
very fine grain and soft satiny texture; it is from the outer paft of the
logs that all the clear grades of lumber are cut. When seasoned, it
is so similar in appearance to white pine that it is difficult to tell the
woods apart. In 1902 a carload of this pine (shop grade) was mixed
with eastern white pine in a large yard in Ohio, and ona trial, expert
graders failed to distinguish one wood from the other. Secause of
the large size to which Western Soft Pine grows, and because the
wood does not check in seasoning, it can be obtained in wide clear
stock. The knots, though larger ‘than in white pine, are few in num-
ber. The wood is especially suitable for shop and factory lumber.
Short clear lengths such as are used for sash and door stock can be
cut from between the knots easily, and with little waste, a valuable
quality appreciated by factories which purchase pine for cutting out
clear lumber between the defects. The soft, even fibre, fine grain,
and good working qualities of the wood make it highly valued for all

‘kinds of finish work.

The wood near the centre of the tree is very similar to Norway
pine, being orange brown or reddish brown in color. It is less soft
than the light colored outer portion, and having as a rule grown faster,
it is somewhat coarser in grain. The lower grades of lumber are
sawn from the central part of the logs and from top logs.

Weight. The weight of the dry wood per cubic foot is, accord-
ing to Sargent, 29.4 pounds. The following weights, which have been
obtained by manufacturers in making shipments, and are shown in
shipping records, may be considered approximately correct:

Uses s ;

Western Soft Pine is manufactured into the same products and
used for practically the same purposes as white pine. It is used for
nearly everything from common lumber and ordinary rough construc-
tion timber to fine interior trim and finish. ; '

Dimensions and framing timber. A large quantity of the pine i is
cut into the ordinary dimension material used in buildings, such as
joists, rafters, sheathing studding, shiplap, ete. Some of the qualities’
which give it value for these uses are: It does not warp or shrink after
being seasoned, is easy to work, nails without splitting and holds nails
well. It is used in buildings of every kind—houses, barns, Sraeaes. uf

garages, sheds, and all farm buildings. :

Siding. Western Soft Pine is manufactured into all vatieties of
siding—drop, bevel, novelty, barn, and also the old-fashioned bevel
siding commonly called “weather boarding.” Its ability to take and
hold paint, and the fact that even the thin bevel siding will nail with-
out splitting, makes it especially suitable for this purpose.

Siding is manufactured in two widths, four inch and six inch. In
the cities “four inch siding is in strong demand, owing to the better
style and architectural effects obtainable by its use. In the rural
districts the six inch siding has been used most, but the narrower
width is now becoming popular.

Outside finish. All wood exposed to the weather shioule be kept
well painted, since paint keeps out moisture and fungi and prevents:
decay. Some woods do not have the quality of holding paint well.
If they are used for outside finish the continual repainting which they
need is a big item in the upkeep expenses of a building. Western
Soft Pine is ‘especially adapted for outside finish, because it takes and,
holds paint so well.

Interior finish. Western Soft Pine is a splendid wood for interior
finish. Any form of varnish, hard oil, stain, paint or enamel ‘may be
used on it. Oils or stains penetrate readily below the surface — ae c-
more beautiful with age. On account of its softness, even texture, a
and ease of working, the wood comes from the planing machine with-_
out showing any knife marks or fuzz, and with a smooth surface ©
which can be given a high, satin-like finish with less expensive hand | ig
labor than most woods. The wood, if properly dried, does not check —
while seasoning, and when thoroughly dry it stays in place and does _
not swell or shrink. - a

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 37

In every successful man’s life there comes a time when know-
ledge of every phase of the management of his business is necessary,
and it is imperative that he should not be found wanting. He must
be able to save himself.

You boast of success because you can buy equal to the best, but
don’t know anything of the selling, leaving that all to your manager;
you may be a wonderful salesman, but never were any good on the
buying end; that you always left to someone else. You can buy,
you can sell, but the accounting always fretted you; you have a pretty
good man who looks after that end, so you don’t bother with it at
all. Now without questioning the integrity or ability of your sales-
men, your buyers or your accountants, what are you going to do if
they drop dead? You are going to suffer inconveniences and losses
until some one else has ben found to fill those certain places. Further,
these able men have a perfectly natural right to be ambitious; they
are not going to be salesmen, buyers or accountants all their lives;
they are going to have an interest in your business, become your
competitors, or some competitor is going to grab them away from
you. Without in any way questioning the honesty of these able
employees, yet they have stored away in their minds not only the
result, the losses and gains, but also every step down to the very
minutest detail of how every problem of your business is worked
out and developed. They know where you buy, on what terms, the
qualities and the service you get; they already have studied out your
weak points and know where you could have overcome them to your
advantage. They know to whom you sell; what classes are the
safest risks; which certain customers are surest pay; they also know
the customers from whom you could secure more business. You
say all this may be true, but if you have not forestalled every such
move in studying out the possibilities of your business I say you are
not the efficient managers you could be.

Aside from caring for the buying, selling and possibly examining
the accounts of your private ledger once in a while, how many of you
ever take the time to go carefully through the accounts as shown on
your books. The man who does is an exception to the usual.

The branch of your business that has the most important bear-
ing on the success of your business is given the least thought.

Do you know how your accountant got the figures he posts to
your private ledger? Do you know whether they are right or not?
Do you watch carefully the purchases from the different business
houses? The terms and method of payments? Naturally you say
of course I do; don’t I sign the checks. I question the depth of the
sincerity of your answer. I can cite you from actual experience
where one firm worth several millions of dollars thought just as you |
do, but they were buying on a seventy day basis and I was paying on
a ten day basis, with a much larger percentage of discount. They
had been doing business that way for over thirty years and never
new the change had been made until while poring over the private
ledger they discovered a gain of almost 20 per cent. earned over any
previous record.

This man had previous to this paid out in discounts which he
might have saved enough to keep one family in first class circum-
stances for a lifetime.

I can cite you a case of what was at one time a partnership own-
ing mills in several parts of the country. These partners were un-
questionably evceptionally capable business men, supposedly worth
many millions, but they counted their wealth by mills and not by
money.

They grow old in the business and their boys who had been liv-
ing in white flannels and on nursing bottles all their lives assumed
control. These boys were not competent to sell popcorn let alone
handling a real man’s size business. They decided it would be much
better sport to sell out, divide the receipts and go back to the nursing
bottle life again. Listen to the results. Where they had fully be-
lieved each would get over a couple of millions, there was actually
less than one hundred thousand dollars left to divide among them all.
How did this happen? The two original partners were not efficient
business managers; they knew every department of the business but
the accounting. They could not tell the meaning of a balance
sheet and would not confess it to their accountants. Hence the dis-
aster.

Leaving Too Much to Others

As the result of a series of questions put to several different
dealers in lumber I find that an average of 95 per cent. of your sales
are oncredit. The number of accounts on your books may vary from
five hundred to as many thousand. Do you know how your custom-
ers care for their indebtedness to you? Do you ever take the trouble
to understand the postings to your debtors accounts in the sales led-
gers? Is it not true that you watch many of the big contracts and
their settlements while the smaller ones you pay no attention to? Do
you not also remember many of your customers’ accounts .and notic-

_ ing their checks when received in the mail resolve in your mind that

‘ 38

they are pretty good people to cater to without finding: out one thing
more about their financial integrity?

But what about the hundreds of other charges you know nothing
about? Those are left to your bookkeeper too. He is capable of
looking after them without any trouble. Your bookeeper will not
take any more interest in your business than you do yourself, There
is no reason for himto. The amount of responsibility is not properly
divided. You expect this man to shoulder the worries that are equal
to.one-half of your yearly net gain while you say you have other
worries to look out for. He has only his position to lose; you your
business.

Let us eliminate the good accounts and look into the slow and
never pay ones. Statements are rendered, then requests for pay-
ment, then you send them severe letters, even going so far as to warn
them of possible suit, without a reply of anything better than prom-
ises. You finally in disgust, at the next period of closing your books,
list the tough ones and forward to your attorney for collection. The
big easy ones he goes after and gets in; they mean actual money to
him; to the harder and smaller ones he will mail one, two or possibly
three letters and then forgets that he has the accounts for collection.
Your accountant requests of your attorney a statement of progress on
the accounts, receiving in reply a check covering your share of the
good collections made and a return of the others with the statement
“Obliged to return uncollectable.’ Your accountant asks you what
he shall do about them, and you after saying a few things under your
breath tell him to cross them off the books. Mr. Business man you
deserve to lose that money; there is no other to blame but yourself;
don’t try to take it out on your employees.

From figures obtained from dealers in different parts of the State
of New York, New Jersey and from many dealers in one large city the
following percentages have been averaged: Your individual exper-
ience may be different and you personally may not agree with them,
but nevertheless they are the figures quoted by representative lumber
dealers in the different locations mentioned.

Let us take gross yearly sales on one million dollars for a basis
to work on. We find that your net gain averages 8 per cent. or
$80,000. On your gross sales we will figure that only 90 per cent.
ot $900,000 is sold on credit. Of your credit sales 90 per cent. is col-
lected without any trouble; of the remaining 10 per cent. or $90,000,
25 per cent. or $22,500 is collected after considerable trouble on the
part of your collectors. The remaining 75 per cent. is turned over
to your attorneys for collection.

We will give him credit for being two-thirds successful, and he
collects $45,000, retaining, however, $20,000 for his fees; the balance
or $22,500 he returns as uncollectable and you cross off to loss and
gain this amount, which is 2% per cent. of your gross sales. This
24 per cent. is‘the average of loss by uncollectable accounts as re-
ported by different firms. The average firm fails to connect the col-
lection fees with the loss caused by these accounts. Is there any
reason why the $20,000 paid for collections should not be charged in
as part of the loss by bad accounts? Adding the $20,000 fees and the
amount ordered crossed off you have an actual-loss of $42,500 or 4%4
per cent. of your gross sales. This is a total loss your business had
to suffer as the result of a weakness somewhere. Do you realize
what this means? It means that on a yearly sales basis of $1,000,000
you should have earned $122,500 instead of only $80,000. Your lack
of efficient interest in the accounting department of your business has
cost you over 50 per cent. of your actual earnings. I can readily
understand many of you saying those figures are off, too high, but I
would hardly dare doubt the veracity of the men giving these figures.
many of them being well known to you as leaders in this profession.
Even granting that the figures are too high, if divided, and we use
just one-half, making your actual losses by uncollectable accounts
only 1% per cent. and fees paid attorneys 1 per cent. your actual loss
would be 2% per cent. or $21,250; over 25 per cent. of what your net
gain amounts to. This means that you have given from one-quarter
to one-half of your entire year’s labor in lost energy.

Who Is To Blame For Losses?

Now who is to blame for all this loss? YOU ARE. “An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure” is a safe motto to tack over your
desk. Practically the entire amount of these losses could have been
prevented. Eliminate the causes. Unhealthy jealous fear of com-
petitors is one of the great bug-bears of nearly every line of busi-
ness and proves the undoing of many otherwise successful firms.

Why should you grant a man credit just because you knew your
competitor across the way would get his business if you turned him
down? You had rather risk your money than allow: him to get the
business. That idea is not business; it is child’s play, but very few
merchants have backbone enough to overcome such childishness, and
it proves pretty expensive in the long run.

co-operation, burying the hammer and getting together of business
men than has been known in all previous history put together.

The great, losses to your business can be overcome. ;
First—By starting a systematic search for your own weakness. | “

Second—By competitors getting together and in a triendly way
study out the difficulties that each knows should be overcome. 5,

Third—By eliminating jumps in the dark.

Investigation proves that losses by uncollectable accounts could —
have been prevented by foreknowledge of the integrity and bill paying
habits of the party seeking credit, and if such information is not avail-
able from systematic investigation or the customer himself, why no
let the other merchant take the risk and the loss too. “a

No business house should extend credit without first knowing
the purchasers ability to pay. If a purchaser is unwilling to explain
on what grounds he basis his right to seek credit the firm selling him
is sure to have trouble and suffer loss. Too often the firm and-
customer both forget that in seeking credit the customer is seekin;
favor or actual loan that is worth to the firm at least % of 1 per ce
each month the credit is open, and that the purchaser should in fair-
ness be willing to show wherein lies his ability to care for the debt —
he desires to contract. o> a

I recently read a bold type ad in a New York paper, “What does —
a creditor care where the money comes from so long as the debtor
meets the bill promptly?” It voices the failing of most creditors. —
Just because a bill is paid. promptly is no excuse for your lack of
knowledge of the debtor’s resources. The full knowledge of a man’s
integrity and his bill paying habits are the only mediums upon which ~
to base a man’s credit worth. tee»

Many men worth fortunes have become enormously wealthy be-
cause they have successfully evaded payment of their just debts, and —
not one of you men here today but have had experience with one or
more of this‘class. On the other hand many men with small assets,
but whose integrity is unquestionable, have proved among your best
customers. An occasional loss from reverses is reasonably expected.
yet such men do not seek credit for any large amount without gladly —
securing you against loss. It is only a certain class of speculators,
promoters, carpenters, etc., who contract to do certain pieces of work
on a protected contract without giving you the same protection that
prove the cause of the greatest percentage of your losses. Very
seldom can you secure satisfactory security, yet you allow them
almost unlimited credit with but a vague knowledge of their ability
to care for or even intentions of settling their just dues. Again, in
order to secure a certain contract they underbid competition, do the
job at a loss, and you are made the goat; obliged to either pocket loss ~
or await your chance to get even.

Co-operation Eliminates The Losses.

If you men would co-operate there would be little chance for
such losses. You could entirely eliminate every scalper, unfair pro-
moter and speculator and put that amount of business into the hands
of promoters and builders of well known integrity and ability.

The leaps in the dark need not be taken any more. Ii by the
use of a little horse sense you can grant credit to whom you will with
a perfect knowledge of how and when payments will be made—why
not use horse sense? ; 4

Until very recently the means for the proper investigation were
not at hand, but now a system has been developed that is applicable
to every individual line of business so that every creditor using it
need take no chance whatever. For this system covers the compila-
tion of Facts not Thinks, which, however, depends on just how far
each merchant gets out'of his rut of fear and jealousy. h

While there is bound to be in every community a certain per-
centage of people who solicit credit with no intention of paying, yet
the knowledge of the new co-operation credit system being in opera~
tion proves like letting down the gates at a railroad crossing; it’s only -
the very few daring ones who will try to get by, But they will find
the engine of credit investigation rushing at them and will jump —_
aside or be put out of the running. ey

On the other hand, there are others doing a business that war- | .
rants a desire on your part to extend them credit; if the means fora _
proper investigation were at hand you would secure a rating and
make a bid for their business. _ :

A system of investigation increases your income in two ways; it —
eliminates losses by bad accounts and opens the way to securing re- _
liable new ones with perfect safety.

Experience with retailers in general shows that in a city of one
hundred thousand inhabitants, in one year foreknowledge saved ap-
proximately $100,000. Another city just installing a credit system
has already proved its ability to benefit its members, and specific

‘March 1, 1916

cases can be cited where hundreds of dollars have been saved in 1n-
dividual cases. teen
Another benefit of this new co-operation is that in change of cir-
cumstances the co-operator is advised in time to take steps in order
to prevent loss. ; ae
I have given as my subject “The Weak Link.’ I have proved
that the weakest link of your business is the credit department. I
have shown that the greatest need for development is along lines of
credit knowledge. I have shown by concrete example how ridicul-

ously weak this link really is. I have demonstrated the possibilities
of welding so that this link may become the strongest in the chain
of efficient management.

All that is required is your affiliation and co-operation; your
willing self-sacrifice and earnest thought ; a broadened view of present
day business economies. Be big enough to forget petty competition
and jealousies. Make your slogan for 1916 Safety First. An ounce

of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and you have made strong
the weakest link.

What the War Involves

Germany’s Commercial Supremacy Must be Extinguished

bay ' A special luncheon of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association
was held on February 23rd, at which the members were given an op-
__ portunity of hearing an address by Mr. F. C. Armstrong, European
manager of the Export Association of Canada, Ltd. Mr. Armstrong
is on a brief visit to Canada, after making a careful study of the gen-
eral business situation in England and France. While abroad he had
exceptional opportunities for obtaining reliable information regard-
ing the fiscal policies that are likely to be adopted by the allies before
the warisover. In his address Mr. Armstrong said that he had gone
to England about the end of September, 1915, to look over the situa-
- tion there and on the continent, in behalf of the Export Association
of Canada. He had now returned to report upon the position as he
found it in Great Britain, France and elsewhere, and to consult with
the directors and shareholders of the Association as to future steps.
The subject of export trade was of the most vital importance to
every Canadian. Next to the winning of the war the most important
thing for Canada and for all the allies was to organize their manufac-
turing industries, transportation facilities. etc., so thoroughly that
after the war the prosperity of the country would go on without in-
- terruption. When one spoke of “after the war” there had formerly
been a great deal of misunderstanding as to just what was meant.
During his visit to England and France he had realized that a great
unanimity of opinion was developing as to what this term involved.
The people of the allied countries had come to realize that they could
not be satisfied with winning the war, but must rid the world of Ger-
_ man aggression after defeating Germany’s army in the field. If they
4 allowed Germany, after the war, to build up her commerce and wealth,
they would be giving her power once more to forge another weapon
with which to renew her scourge upon civilization. Therefore it had
- become a matter of the salvation of humanity that Germany should
not again be entrusted with the power to repeat the damage which
she had been inflicting during the present war.
J It was necessary, first of all, to crystalize public sentiment into
é some concrete and definite understanding of the method by which
. they could put it beyond the power of any individual to buy German
> goods, or, if he bought them, to make the price so high that the goods
_____ would no longer be attractive. The ordinary machinery for accom-
" plishing such a result was that of tariffs. Mr. Armstrong had been
: enabled to speak with many representatives. of both political parties
in Great Britain and had become convinced that all people in Great
& Britain were now a unit upon the subject of dealing with the tariff
re question on natidnal and economic lines. Prominent Liberals had
* told him that there would be no resumption of the tariff fight. The
____ free trade and conscription fights in Great Britain had gone into the
_ melting pot. England would deal in future with the tariff problem
* from an entirely new angle so that the-way would be clear for working
out a plan-for consolidating and strengthening the whole Empire.
The British Government and nearly every important commercial
association in Great Britain had taken the matter actively in hand
and were calling for some form of preferential trade arrangements
which would be effective along these lines. Sir Richard Musgrave,
_ secretary of the London Chamber of Commerce, had put the matter
____to him in a very definite form, saying that what they had in view was
first of all, to make arrangements for looking after the interests of the
Empire, then to do all they could to promote the interests of the
allies, then to treat with neutrals as they had deserved, and finally to
deal with the enemy and to take the necessary steps to exclude his
_ trade from allied countries. Invitations had been sent out, Mr. Arm-
_ Strong said, for a meeting on June 4th, of the Imperial Chambers of
_ Commerce, to be held in London, the chief object of which would be
to get the best business opinions of the different portions of the Em-
Pire to aid in working out the commercial problems that would de-
_ velop after the war.
-\ First of all, he believed, that it would be recognized that there
_would be a trade preference given within the British Empire. It

was important therefore, to perfect their representation in all the
countries which make up the Empire; in Australia, New Zealand.
South Africa, the Crown Colonies, India, etc. The Export Associa-
tion of Canada had already been able to make arrangements for repre-
sentatives in New Zealand and Australia, both of which arrangements
were working extremely satisfactory, except for the difficulty in se-
curing transportation. These representatives would no doubt be-
come distributing machinery of great value. In England Mr. Arm-
strong had been able to conclude arrangements for promoting Can-
ada’s trade with the Crown Colonies. He had even been able to se-
cure orders for many thousands of dollars worth of material, which,
in most cases, unfortunately, we could not supply because we were so
heavily engaged in the production of war order materials. Canada,
however, could count upon a very large field for her manufactured
goods in these colonies in the future. .

In regard to India and the east it had appeared to him to be in-
advisable to open up connections there at present when they were
unable to furnish either the goods or the transportation. The promo-
tion of trade in these countries might be left in abeyance for the time
being.

In South Africa they were being pressed by the Trade Commis-
sioner, Mr. Egan, to extend their organization and to help in building
up Canada’s trade with that country.

Perhaps the most difficult country of all to deal with was Great
Britain, especially under the present restrictions in regard to trans-
portation. The recent statement by Mr. Lloyd George that the Gov-
ernment of Great Britain had made a mistake in not taking complete
control of shipping at the beginning of the war was of great import-
ance. Mr. Armstrong believed that if the Government should take
control of shipping, Canada would really be benefitted thereby be-
cause, when tonnage is scarce it is inadvisable to tie up shipping in
carrying goods from very distant countries such as Australia and the
Argentine, when the necessary materials can be had from countries
such as those of North America which are so much nearer Great
Britain.

After the war, many countries would be urgently in need of ar-
ticles which formerly could only be made in Germany. The allies
could only complete Germany’s economic defeat by supplying these
materials. Russia had been buying three hundred million dollars
worth of goods from Germany annually, in fact over fifty per cent. of
the manufactured goods she imported. She could not produce these
goods herself. As soon as the war was over she would have to get
them, She would not be able to buy them from France or Belgium,
because all of Belgium and the finest manufacturing districts of France
had been devastated by Germany. She would have to turn to Great
Britain, and Great Britain would be very fully occupied and would
only be able to take care of a portion of the demand. Then Russia
would have to come across the Atlantic. She would come to Canada,
beyond any doubt, and would strengthen her tendency to buy Can-
adian material. But she would not come to Canada to anything like
the possible maximum extent unless we went to Russia ourselves
and showed her our ability to furnish such materials as she required.
If we did so, Russia would be prepared to buy our goods in preference
to United States goods. We must therefore study the markets of
Russia, and organize our production, distribution and finance, or we
would not secure the share which otherwise could easily be had.

Mr. R. J. Young, Joint Manager of the Export Association of
Canada, Limited, also spoke briefly, enforcing what Mr. Armstrong
had said regarding the importance of organization, and stating that
he intended to call upon as many Canadian manufacturers as possible,
chiefly those directly interested in the export situation, so as to urge
upon them the necessity for joining the Association. Some time in
June or September they intended to hold a Canadian National Ex-
port Trade Convention which would bring together the carriers, the
financiers, the manufacturers and every other national interest which
was a factor in the building up of export trade.

LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

Sawmilling Operations Following the Railways

Developments Along The C.N. R. and G. T. P.

Now that the interior of British Columbia is being served by
railways to an extent undreamed of a few years ago, the timber wealth
of regions hitherto remote is being levied upon by the pioneer saw-
mall owner to an extent of which the average lumberman can have
no conception. Some of these small plants were located ahead of
railway construction at points likely to become centres of develop-
ment later on; others were started up by ranchers and» land com-
panies to supply a local demand for building material; but in most
cases the impelling circumstances were ideal mill sites going to waste,
plenty of good timber close at hand, and the assurance of transporta-
tion for the output in case the local demand proved insufficient. Back
of all this was a supreme faith in the future of the province and the
belief that in the course of time the modest sawmill of today would
become the nucleus of a thriving community and be replaced by a
modern band mill capable of turning out perhaps 100,000 feet every
ten hours. This corallary of events has been duplicated more than
once in the past hostory of British Columbia, and is bound to be
repeated many times in the future owing to the fact that the rapid
settlement of the prairie provinces foretells a demand for lumber in a
few years that will tax the ability of our manufacturers to supply.

Some fifteen or twenty sawmills of limited capacity have been
located along the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific rail-
way lines during the past two years, while probably half as many
have been built or are projected at points along the Kettle Valley and
Pacific Great Eastern lines. The prediction has been made by sev-

Nelson’s Sawmill at Barriere North Thompson River, B. C.

eral of our most experienced lumbermen that the next ten years will
see as many mills erected along our new lines of railway as are now
tributary to the pioneer Canadian Pacific line, and in view of the new
timber areas opened up, and their nearness to the prairies, the opinion
would seem to contain no element of improbability. It may be taken
for granted that a large proportion of the rough lumber and timbers
to be purchased by the prairie retailers a few years hence will be
shipped to them by plants not now figuring in the manufacturing
By that time, it is to be hoped, the mills at the Coast will be
so busy catering to the foreign demand for lumber that the competi-
tion of the small mills will be welcomed.

Typical Plant on Thompson River

At Barriere, in Kamloops district, there is a small mill so advan-
tageously placed that the proprietor, J. H. H. Nelson, sees prosperity
ahead. The mill site comprises sixteen acres fronting on the
Thompson River at a point where the Barriere River joins that
stream. The Canadian Northern Railway track parallels the north
boundary of the site, thus affording handy shipping facilities by means
of a spur line to side of mill. The building is 30x110 ft., with boiler
house and filing room 12x80 ft. on east side, and planer room 20x60 ft.
én west side. The equipment comprises 50 h.p. Leonard boiler and
40 h.p. Leonard engine, with 60x14 in. drive to circular (54 in. inserted
tooth Simonds saw), also 56 in. x 8 in. drive to countershaft above
for edger fitted with three 18in. Simonds saws, 40 in. trim saw, 20 in.
bench rip-saw, post boring machine, and one 8 in. x 14 in. Cowan out-
side moulder. Logs are stored in boom in front of mill, delivered
on mill floor by friction log haul, and rolled to 50 in. three-block rope
feed carriage installed by A. R. Williams Co., Ltd., Vancouver. The
filing room is fitted up with saw grinder, double emery- stand, planer
knife grinder, and full set of tools for saw repairs. The present
capacity of the mill is about 20,000 ft..in 10 hours, but when the need
arises this can readily be increased to 30,000 ft., anda comparatively
small expenditure would permit of the output being raised to 40,000 ft.

The plant was erected by Mr. Nelson in1913 as the result of an

arrangement entered into with the Barriere Land Company, an off-
shoot of the Franco-Canadian Trust Company, Ltd., Vancouver. The

Barriere Company own some 1,800 acres of excellent land at that

point, which is slated to become a town of some importance in the
near future owing to the agricultural possibilities of the region.
Already there is quite a little settlement springing up, one large gen-
eral store doing a business of about $3,000 per month. Mr. Nelson
operated his mill for about six months in 1913 and about four months

in 1914; this year it ran for only two months owing to the limited —

local demand and the fact that the railway line was not opened to
traffic as early as planned.
early in the season, when the log supply had to be arranged for,
Mr. Nelson decided that it would be unwise to tie up money in yard
stock until communication with the prairies was absolutely assured.

There is a good supply of lumber easily available all the way up —
the Barriere River and North Thompson and East Barriere Lakes,
these bodies of water varying from five to nine miles in length. The
lumber consists of cedar, fir, white pine, full pine, spruce and silver
fir. Next season Mr. Nelson expects to ship to the prairies, and
with that aim in view he is arranging to have a sufficient supply of
logs taken out this winter by ranchers to keep his mill running
steadily all summer. Being located well towards the summit of the
mountain range, the mill should enjoy a considerable advantage in
freight rates over the Coast plants.

Farm Demonstrating as Side Line

Following the example set by many owners of small mills in the
interior of the province, Mr. Nelson utilized his spare time in de-
monstrating the soil possibilities of his holdings. He cleared a large
portion of the mill site and farmed it in thorough fashion, the result
proving that the Barriere Flats will grow anything in the shape of
farm and garden produce. Mr. Nelson, referring to this branch of his
activities, writes the Western Lumberman as follows: “I used the
Jand for demonstrating all kinds of garden and field produce without
irrigation for two years, the results being exceptional in character.
All kinds of fruit grows to perfection here—even peaches, apricots,
watermelons and muskmelons. Tomatoes ripen splendidly and the
climate is well suited for general farming and sheep raising. The
climate here is simply grand—after living for 30 years at the Coast
hefore coming up here I am well pleased with the change. The
temperature in summer reaches 85 degrees, but it is a very dry heat;
i winter it goes as low as 25 degrees below zero, but the air is very
calm and dry, and one does not feel the cold as severely as at the
Coast. We get from one to two feet of snow, coming about 15th of
December and lasting until 15th March. This gives splendid sleigh-
ing all winter and facilitates outdoor work of all kinds.”

The hydro-electric power system of the City of Kamloops, gen-
erating 10,000 h.p., is situated five miles up the Barriere River and
the power lines run through Barriere town site and within 200 yards
of Mr. Nelson’s mill. He is thus assured of cheap power to any
extent desired, and this will be a factor in plans for the future develop-
ment of this promising mill proposition.

A Boy Scout Forest Book

_ Copies of a Boy Scout Forest Book have been presented by the

Canadian Forestry Association to the sixteen thousand boy scouts of

Canada as part if an educational propaganda for forest protection.

In the thirty-two pages of text and illustration the boy is made ac-

quainted with the Canadian forest as a personal and national neces-

sity. The subject is handled from a new angle and the young reader
is given the business reasons for putting an end to our plague of forest

fires. The idea is an excellent one and ought to bear good fruit.

Fewer Ties Being Taken Out

_ We are advised by a firm in close touch with the situation that,
owing to the great number of men that have enlisted, and the high
wages prevailing in the lumber camps, very few if any railway ties
are being taken out this winter, and it looks as if there will be a

shortage when the railways commence to look for their requirements
later on.

good capacity. In the meantime the existing small mills are making
the best of their opportunity by improving their facilities and adding

- new machinery. |

“mill with a capacity of about 40,000 feet per ten hours.

, At Sewall, on Graham Island, Messrs. Sparks & Aitkin ae a
t has
circular rig, the equipment being of heavy design to handle the big
timber. For several months past the owners have been busy with
improvements, and manufacturing commenced on January 3rd. The
firm employ about 50.men—25 in the mill and the same number in
the woods.

Another Graham Island mill was erected several months ago at
Port Clements by the Port Clements Milling & Trading Company.
This plant has a daily capacity of about 20,000 feet, has been cutting
steadily for some months, and made the first shipment of spruce lum-
ber to Vancouver early in December per Union Steamship Co. The

-- owners, Messrs. E, J. Tingley and Chas. Coulson, are possessed of

large timber holdings and are doing their own logging. About 30

‘men are employed in the mill and woods operations.

At Massett, also on Graham Island, Messrs. Wanless & Brick-
man have a small mill with a present daily capacity of 8,000 feet, but

this will be increased to about 20,000 feet in the spring, according

to the present plans of the owners. The mill is cutting steadily and

las already made a shipment of lumber to. Vancouver.
Still another Graham Island mill is being operated by W. L.

Barton, also near Port Clements. In its present shape the outfit is a
rather crude type, but creditable indeed as the work of a pioneer who
was hampered by a lack of equipment. ‘The site is a desirable one

- and the plant is now being enlarged to a capacity of 10,000 feet per

day. Mr. Barton visited Vancouver recently and purchased a new
engine, carriage, edger, log haul, transmission, etc., from J. B. Weir
& Co., Ltd. Mr. Barton had his improved mill in operation early
in January.

The mill of the Moresby Island Lumber Company, on Moresby
Island, is owned by Seattle parties and at one time had a good out-
put. It has not operated for four or five years past and is fast
falling into decay. It is reported the shareholders are sending a
practical man to report the probable cost of putting the plant in good
shape, believing the time has arrived when money can be made by
developing their extensive cedar and spruce holdings.

Messrs. Timms, Phillips & Co., Ltd., lumber wholesalers and
exporters, Vancouver, have contracted for the output of the two Pori
Clements plants and also the small mill at Masset. Smith, Shannon
Lumber Co., Ltd., Vancouver, will handle the cut of the Barton mill.

Miscellaneous Items of Interest to Lumbermen

The Main Belting Co. of Canada, Limited, of Montreal, have
opened a Toronto office and warehouse at 32 Front St. W., with Mr.
S. R. Walsh in charge; as Ontario representative.

Geo. Bury, vice-president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, states
that the C. P. R. system uses, in a single year, five million track ties,
two hundred thousand fence posts, fifty thousand telegraph poles, and
sixty million feet of lumber.

A despatch from Port Arthur, Ont., states that the Pigeon River
Lumber Company, Limited, on account of the scarcity of labor for
their camps is asking for the release of fifty Austrians interned at
the camp at Kapuskasing.

W. E. Allen, who is in charge of sales in the United States for
the Finger Lumber Company, has left Milwaukee for Winnipeg,
where he will be in charge of the combined Canadian and American
sales forces. The combination is due to shortage of stocks.

An order for 51,000,000 feet of lumber for the Italian Government
was recently placed with the yellow pine mills of Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri and Oklahama. The
specifications called for 29,000,000 feet of boards, 15,500,000 feet of
timbers ranging in size from 2 x 4 to 12 x 12 inches, and 6,500,000 feet
of railroad cross ties.

The charter rate from Puget Sound and British Columbia ports
for lumber to South Africa has recently advanced from 160 shillings
per thousand board feet to 190 shillings. Other rates for foreign lum-
ber from Puget Sound remain unchanged at the following figures: To
New Zealand ports, 110 shillings; to Sydney, Australia, 97 shillings
6 pence to 100 shillings; to Melbourne or Adelaide, 110 shillings; to
Valparaiso and Callao, 95 shillings.

During the month of December, 1915, the latest for which statis-
tics are available, Canadian exports of printing paper were valued
at $1,753,013, which is a new record for any month in the history of
the industry. Of this amount, the United States took printing paper
to the value of $1,425,312. Australia took paper to the value of $170,-
745, and New Zealand’s share was valued at $119,759. During eight
months of the current fiscal year Canadian exports of printing paper
to Australia were valued at $510,489, and to New Zealand $315,032.
To Great Britain printing paper was sent to the value of $131,832.

Review of Current Trade Conditions |

Ontario

The lumber trade in Ontario continues very quiet, there being no
feature so far-as local trade is concerned, except perhaps the interest
which is being taken in the renewed appearance of prospective shell
box orders. So far as these are concerned, however, although orders
in considerable quantity are likely to be given out in the near future,
the situation is not at present so promising as it was in connection
with the orders which were completed last year. A number of firms
with whom we have discussed the situation advise us that the system
of giving out orders has been entirely altered under the management
of the Imperial Munitions Board, and that they are now calling for
tenders for specified boxes upon a standard tender form, and that the
business is expected to go to the lowest tenderers. In this connection
we have heard considerable dissatisfaction regarding the fact that
some parties who have no connection whatever with the box making
or lumber business are submitting tenders, and seem to be confident
of getting a large portion of the orders by tendering below the actual

cost of production. What there may be behind this situation is hard ,

to say. The prices they submit, whether they deliver the goods or
not, are likely to affect the Munitions Board in giving orders. In
short, it is feared that the Board may give attention entirely to price
and not to the bona fides of the tenderers. Many Ontario manufac-
turers who could quote on this business and handle it satisfactorily in
large quantities are likely, for the above reason, to refrain from doing
so, as they feel that it will be of no use. If the orders which are
under consideration are given out, however, at reasonable prices, they
will be the means of creating considerable activity in the local trade
in Ontario.

The building business continues practically dead from a com-
parative point of view. What it will be during the coming spring and
summer is difficult to say, though we have lately heard a little more
optimistic opinion in this regard than was general a few weeks ago.
In the United States, a great increase in building operations is de-
veloping. We have many of the same factors at work in Canada to
produce a similar state of affairs and it is not impossible that the
large amount of money which has come into circulation during the
past six months on account of war orders of all kinds will create a
fair amount of building activity.

The situation in connection with B. C. shingles is exceptionally
interesting at the present moment. We publish elsewhere in this
issue a report from British Columbia showing that the stocks avail-
able are far below the quantity of orders on hand and that production
has been so greatly curtailed of late by severe weather and the clos-
ing down of mills that available stocks will not catch up to orders
for some months. Under these conditions wholesalers in Ontario are
expecting shingle prices to advance. m

Manufacturers and others interested in the export business to
Great Britain are discussing with a good deal of interest the embargo
ordered by the British Government upon the importation of hard-
woods, the object of which is said to be the saving of cargo space
for materials that are more urgently required. The embargo prevents
importations, except under government license, and it may result in
stopping imports of Canadian birch and other hardwoods which have
been extensive during the past year. It remains to be seen, how-
ever, whether the British Government will provide for imports of
these lines by issuing special licenses to cover such shipments as are
required.

Eastern Canada

The export trade situation at St. John, N. B., shows no change.
The freight problem is still the most important factor in this con-
nection. At present, freight rates are still advancing and practically
no vessels are available to take up the increased offerings. An ordin-
ary price now is 250 shillings per standard on deals for summer ship-
ment, and very few charters are being made, because of the scarcity
of vessels. English deals at St. John have been selling in a few cases
at $20 per M. for 50 per cent. 3 x 7 and 8, 50 per cent. 3 x 9 and 11
with scantlings at usual reductions. This is a record price for a mill
cut at St. John. All deals have been sold ahead.

A strong upward tendency is reported in the New England spruce
market with a firm base price of $27 for 2 x 8 and down, 20 feet and
down, delivered. Stocks of spruce are scarce-as most of the mills are
tied up. Logging conditions are good throughout New Brunswick
and the results of the winter’s operations will now depend entirely
upon the drives.

The Montreal trade is much interested in orders for shell boxes

LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

livery and they have therefore been seriously handicapped in their

which were called for recently by the Imperial Munitions Board. It —
is stated that orders for~500,000 boxes were included in this call for —
tenders, and that 275,000 were called for in Montreal. Under the new —
arrangement the Munitions Board is asking for tenders on all this
work. Local trade in Montreal is slow. Export trade is fairly active
and the outlook is encouraging. Indications in connection with the
export season are that it will again be an anxious one for shippers, —
as freight rates are still advancing and tonnage will probably continue -
scarce. Enquiries from Great Britain are numerous. It is possib .
that the British Government’s prohibition of import of furniture woods, —
and hardwoods, except under government license, may reduce M

real’s exports of birch. ea
v

Reports from Boston indicate that the eastern spruce market
shows continued strength. Retail yard men are buying both frames —
and random dimensions more extensively. Manufacturers and com-
mission dealers will now quote nothing less than $27 base, Boston rate __
for rail shipments of frames. . Some producers are asking 50c and __
even $1 more. The demand continues strong, being considerably in
excess of normal for this time of year. Quotations on random stock
are about $1 higher than they were a fortnight ago, the current prices
being 2x3, $22 to $22.50; 2x4, $22.50 to $23; 2x5, 2x6 and 2x7, $21.50
to $22; 2x8, $25 to $25.50; 2x10, $26.50 to $27; 2x12, $27 to $28. The
market for spruce boards is now showing some real strength. Stocks
have been considerably reduced, and dry covering boards, 5 in. and
up wide, 8 ft. and up long are held at $22. Matched boards, 10, 12,
14, and 16 feet are bringing $25 to $26. The hardwood market at
Boston shows greater firmness. _ Firsts and seconds inch maple are
bringing $41 to $43; basswood $43 to $45; red birch $53 to $55 and sap
birch $45 to $47. The enquiry for eastern hemlock at Boston is
fairly satisfactory, with quotations strong. The best clipped boards
10, 12, 14 and 16 ft. are bringing $22.50 at least, which is $3 higher
than the prices which prevailed last fall. White cedar shingles at
Boston are showing a little increased strength, as a result of the
higher prices for red cedar shingles following the adverse weather
conditions in the Pacific coast districts. | White cedar extras are
bringing from $3.35 to $3.50, and clears are now held at $3 to $3.10.
Red cedar shingles are somewhat uncertain in price. There is a
little better enquiry for lath. Sales of 1% in. have been made up to
$4 and 15% in. continue steady at about $4.25. -

‘ ' United States

One of the most important features in connection with United
States lumber trade conditions during the past fortnight has been
the widespread curtailment in production caused by extreme weather
conditions. These have varied from floods in the south and blizzards
in the east, to excessively cold weather and heavy snow storms in the
west, the result being the tying up of extensive production districts.
Business conditions, however, have been progressing satisfactorily
throughout the United States. Building operations for instance, al-
though considerably restrained by the weather, give promise of great
activity as soon as weather conditions are fairly settled. Activity
in this line promises to be greater than it has been for many years.
Increases in building permits are reported from practically all parts
of the country and most of the increases are on a remarkably exten-
sive scale. The steel industry is making great gains, the amount of
unfilled orders on books of the steel corporation being now greater
than at any other time in its history. Railroads are in a better fin-
ancial condition than they have been at any time for a number of
years. They are thus ready to make heavy expenditures for new
rolling stock and equipment as well as for necessary repairs.

In the southern pine territory, buying for spring trade has already
commenced. For the week ending February 11th the order files of
the Southern Pine Association showed for the first time in several
weeks an increase over production. Mill stocks are badly broken
and the recent curtailment in production on account of severe weather
makes it look as though there cannot be any large accumulations of
stocks anywhere in the southern pine district. ;

In the north Pacific coast district, recent reports indicate what
looks like improvement in weather conditions, but there is fear of
floods following the thaw which is expected. It does not look as
though mills in that territory will be able to produce again at their
normal capacity for some weeks. There have been opportunities
recently for these manufacturers to quote on a considerable amount of —
desirable business, but few have been in a position to guarantee de-

efforts to get the business. The market on the Pacific coast has con-
tinued to gather strength and advances are expected to be maintained,
even further advances being likely.

The hemlock situation continues very favorable, the chief diffi-
culty now being the inability of manufacturers to supply the demand
for certain sizes and lengths. This is in marked contrast to the situa-
tion of a few months ago when nearly all the mills had stocks far
beyond normal and hemlock was a drug on the market. Heavy
shipments during the last few months have depleted stocks and the
continuation of the present demand will stiffen prices. Northern
pine also is in a favorable position, with a very satisfactory demand
and good prices.

Great Britain

Few fresh goods have recently arrived for the London spot
market and the numerous cargoes lying on the quays are being piled
only at a very moderate rate. Not 15 per cent. of the European and
Canadian deals at the quays were yet available for delivery at latest
reports, although the demand for them was very strong. Deliveries
from the docks have therefore been showing a falling off, amounting
to 2,354 standard during the week ending January 29th as compared
with 4,483 standards during the corresponding week of 1915. Prices
of all stocks that can be moved are continuing to increase and it is
difficult to find any size or quality that can be had at less than 3
shillings cube. The scarcity of tonnage and the resulting high
freight rates are the chief factors in the price advances. _ Forward
buying is not extensive, on account of the inability of shippers and
buyers to agree regarding terms.

At Liverpool, the c. i. f. business in spruce deals is confined for
the time being to small parcels-by liners and higher prices are being

Montreal Getting New Shell Box Business

Montreal, February 23rd; (Special to the Canada Lumberman ) :—
The most interesting feature of the market is the inquiry by the Im-
perial Munitions Board for shell boxes. Orders for one and a half
million boxes are to be given out, and of these 275,000 are allocated to
the Montreal district. The Board have now adopted the tender sys-
tem, and the bids were to be in by February 28th. There is certain
to be keen competition for the orders, as some of the factories are
short of business. Owing to this lack of orders, and the Government
not taking quick deliveries, work was recently suspended in some in-
stances. The new orders, it is said, will involve the consumption of
two and a half million feet of spruce and about half a million feet of
birch, all dry stock. The following are details of boxes required in
Montreal: 50,000 two round six in. shell; 3,000 2-pound shell; 25,000
two round 60-pound shell ; 70,000 two round 4.5 shell ; 30,000 one round
eight shell; 40,000 six round 18 pound shell; 30,000 one round 9.2
shell. Inquiries have been received from Ontario as to securing lum-
ber in case factories should be successful.

Local trade is very slow, with wholesalers reporting an occasional
good order for rush contracts. Business with the United States keeps
up very well indeed, and prospects are stated to be bright for increased
trade. Advices from the province report a brisk demand for pulpwood,
and a quickening of values.

Although the export season is some way off, there are indications
that it will be one of anxiety for shippers. Freight rates will cer-
tainly not be lower than at the end of last year. The chances are that
they will be higher, with increased difficulty of securing tonnage.
Provided firms can obtain vessels, it is more than likely that exports
will be extremely good, as there have been inquiries for large amounts
of lumber for the other side. Montreal exports a considerable quantity
of hardwoods, principally birch, and in this connection it may be
pointed out that the British Government has prohibited the import,
except under Government license, of furniture woods, hardwoods, and
veneers. The Government is aiming at a reduction of these and other
commodities, and it is possible that the exports of birch from this port,
which showed a very large increase last season, may be considerably
affected.

In the pulp and paper sections, sulphite has had another advance,
and prices are now at a very high mark. Inquiries are more numerous,
it being feared that quotations will go ahead still further. This con-
dition is due to the restricted importations from Europe, United States’
consumers turning to this country to supply the deficiency. The em-
bargo on pulpwood, paper, etc., by the British Government, will not

obtained, stocks being quickly snapped up when offered. Very little

forward buying for the season is in evidence as shippers are un- —

willing to take the risk of the freight market and are quoting f. o. b.
or on a freight basis c. i. f. Up to the present, only a limited quan-
tity has beén offered even on these terms. Shippers are asking for

higher f. o. b. prices than those of last year and as the freight market —
is still very uncertain importers are not inclined to take the risk which

shippers are also unwilling to assume. The spot market shows fur-
ther advances. The consumptive demand continues on an active
scale with every indication of keeping up, and as stocks are becoming
more and more depleted values seem certain to advance.

birch at Liverpool are firm. The spot market is very steady and the
consumptive demand continues strong. Stocks are gradually being
decreased and values are advancing.

At Manchester, the trade continues active. Prices are as strong

the threatened restrictions of imports.

to the ship canal was 250 shillings per standard. Pine goods are ad-
vancing rapidly in value at Manchester. The price of 3rd quality
Quebec pine 11 in. x 3 in. is about £29 per standard, and 4th quality
about £26 to £27, and stocks are running very low. Sidings also
are advancing in price. All industries using timber are very busy
with the single exception of building.

At Glasgow, the price-of spruce continues to advance, without
any appearance of a set back being possible in the near future. Im-
ports continue on a moderate scale and are far from adequate to meet
the requirements of the market.

affect Canadian productions to any great extent, comparatively small
quantities of sulphite and mechanical pulp and newsprint going to the
United Kingdom, although the trade has lately increased. The prob-
abilities are that with reduced quantities imported from all sources,
pe British newspapers and magazines will decrease the size of their
sheets.

There is an excellent demand for newsprint, especially on export
account. For the month of November, the last period for which the
figures are available, the exports were of the value of $1,753,013, the

highest on record, the greater part of the total going to the United
States.

St. John Prices Continue Strong

St. John, N. B., February 21st; (Special to the Canada Lumber-
man) :—The lumber trade so far as export is concerned, remains in
about as healthy a position as at last writing. The one great bugbear,
so much talked about, the freighting question, remains in a very

unique position, namely: freights climbing, and no bottoms to take up ~

the increased offerings. 250 shillings is now an ordinary price paid
per standard on deals for summer shipment. Very few charters are
being made, not because of the rate, but on account of the limited
offerings. Prices of English deals from this port for next season’s
cut are said to have reached the height expected of $20 per M. for
specifications running % 3x 7 and 8, % 3 x 9 and 11, with scantlings

at usual reductions; this is the highest price ever paid at St. John for

a mill cut. Not all buyers, however, are offering any such figure, and
those doing so are felt to be taking extreme risks. All deals have been
sold ahead, and now it only remains for the logs to come forward to
start the season’s operation. It is to be hoped that the year 1916 may
be more lucrative, so far as profit making is concerned, than was the
year just passed. ’

The New England spruce market still shows a strong upward
movement, and has reached a firm base of $27 per M. on 2 x 8 and
down, 20 ft. and down, delivered. The one great trouble is now to
get the stocks, as the mills are largely tied up, and only a few winter
mills are in motion. These are doing well so far as price is concerned.
New York prices, while not so good as New England, are in a good
strong position. Building trades both at New York and throughout
New England have been moving along at a good pace. The last few
days of more wintry weather will no doubt have their effect, but
as soon as warmer conditions arrive a spurt will again take place.

Laths are firm in New York at $4.50, and interior points, reached

only by rail, are paying $4.75 per M. About all the laths from St.
John, some eight million, are now afloat. It is to be hoped that this
will not have any weakening tendency on the market when they
arrive, but it should not, when it is considered that this is a com-
plete clean up.

Shingles have taken an advance of 25c. per M. during the last
two weeks all over the New England market. It is very timely, as
the shingle industry surely needs an upward movement. It has Poe
practically unprofitable to cut shingles at prices prevailing during the
past year.

Logging conditions are good all over the province, and wee is
well along everywhere, but at least three weeks is yet needed before
jobbers will be finished. On the head waters of the St. John, condi-
tions have been good all winter, and all that will be needed is plenty
of rain to bring out the drives when the right time comes.

All the mills at St. John are now idle, and it will be well towards
April lst before they start operations. Local conditions for building
and factory and yard deliveries are the worst they have been in years
and the outlook for building trade does not look encouraging. Should
the war take a decided turn for the better confidence would be re-
stored and people would become active in all lines, and again ag-

gressive.

Great Ship-Building Activity in Nova Scotia

Parrsboro, N. S., February 17th: (Special to the Canada Lumber-
man) :—The great war and the consequent scarcity of merchant
vessels have caused a partial revival of the wooden ship-building in
this vicinity. Shipyards which have been idle and silent for years
are once more scenes of activity and are ringing to the sounds of the
axe and the caulker’s mallet.

G. M. Cochran, of Port Greville, who built one schooner last
year, has now three vessels in course of constructioon. Onie of them,
a three-masted schooner of over 400 tons register, is nearing comple-
tion, and will be launched in April. Another, a vessel that will re-
gister above 500 tons, is in frame and well advanced. She will be
rigged as a four-masted schooner, and will be commanded and partly
owned by Captain Tower, who was master of the ill-fated four-masted
schooner L. C. Tower which was torpedoed last summer on her
maiden voyage when within a short distance of the English coast. The
frame for the third vessel—a trim schooner of between 400 and 500
tons register—is being prepared, and she will be completed as rapidly
as possible after the others are out of the way.

H. Eldenkin & Co., also of Port Greville, are adding to their fleet
a tern schooner of about 400 tons register, and Captain T. K. Bentley,
who had one schooner in the deal trade last season, is building a 400
ton vessel at West Advocate. There is strong talk of building a
schooner of about the same dimensions at this town, but arrange-
ments are not yet completed. Many fine ships have been built at
Passboro, but none has been launched here for nearly six years. If
the vessel now under consideration is built it is probable that several
others will follow.

The cost of building vessels—and particularly of their outfits—
is much greater than it was a few years ago, but, on the other hand,
the inducements to build far exceed any ever offered before. Two or
three years ago forty shillings per standard was thought a good
freight on deals to the United Kingdom. This season it is reported
that two Passboro schooners have already been chartered at two
hundred and forty shillings per standard. Small wonder then, that
ship-building has revived, and that builders are induced to pay ex-
orbitant prices—prices which under normal conditions would be pro-
hibition—for the required materials. And it is not on ship-building
alone that our lumber dealers are depending for transportation of
their output. J. N. Pugsley, one of our leading lumbermen, has re-
cently purchased two tern schooners registering about 350 tons each,
at just double the price they could have been bought for a year ago.
In fact every available vessel has been snapped up at a record price,
and a sharp lookout is being kept for every possible freighter. Whether
enough bottoms can be secured to carry the season’s lumber output
remains to be seen, but every effort is being made to obtain carriers,
and there is no doubt that freight rates will soar far above all previous
records.

Further Price Advances at Liverpool

Alfred Dobel & Co., Liverpool, in their monthly timber market
report, under date of February Ist, says:—LDeliveries are still being
held up as a result of the curtailed railway facilities, and it is conse-
quently difficult to gauge the actual consumption, but it is accepted
as being generally satisfactory. Lighter imports and the continued
rise in freight rates have caused a further general advance in prices

and the possibility that the importation of some items will be pro-

hibited in the near future has caused an advance in the values of

March 1, 1916 ‘4
these quite beyond that resulting from light imports and advanced —
freight rates.

Canadian woods—Waney board and square pine was in limited ~
request. Oak—No change. Rock elm—The stock is practically
exhausted. Birch—Logs—There was an improved consumption.
Planks—The arrivals were very light. A good demand prevailed
and stocks have been further reduced. Pine deals and boards—The
arrivals, which were nominal, met a steady consumption. New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia spruce deals—As compared with the cor-
responding month last year the import and consumption are both fay-
orable—the former being less by 1,495 standards and the latter more
by 2,740 standards. The combined stocks stand 24,120 standards,
which still remains misleading owing to transport difficulties.

Pulp, Paper and Lumber in Sault Ste Marie District

United States Consul Shotts, Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., in a report
to his government, says :—

The harvesting of pulp wood and the manufacture of the same
into pulp and paper constitute one of the largest business interests in i
the Sault Ste. Marie district, employing many thousand people. There
are three pulp and paper mills in this district, all owned and controlled
by the Spanish River Pulp & Paper Mills (Ltd.), but each operating
and shipping the product under its original name. The combined out-
put of these mills in 1915, as reported by the company, was: News-
print paper, 114,774 net tons; sulphite pulp, 36,307 net tons, and
ground wood pulp, 90,715 net tons.

The manufacturing capacity of these mills is over one-fourth of
the combined capacity of all paper mills in the Dominion of Canada.
They have the exclusive right to cut pulp wood on over 6,000 square
miles of territory, and in addition have practically a monopoly of
much surrounding territory. The harvest of pulp wood in this dis-
trict for 1915 was approximately 223,000 cords, of which 41,400 cords
were shipped to the United States. The approximate cut for 1914
Me 144,000 cords, of which 18,000 cords were shipped to the United

tates.

The lumbering interests were unusually active during the year.
The demand was light and prices high for the last half, the result be-
ing that the quantity of lumber left standing over on the docks is not
so large as usual. The cut of lumber in this district for 1915 was
approximately 187,000,000 feet, of which 186,000,000 feet were ship-
ped to the United States.

Plans for Farm Houses

Following up their policy of publishing a series of bulletins for
promoting the use of lumber in the Prairie Provinces, the Forest Ser-
vice of B. C. have issued bulletin No. 10, entitled “Farm Houses.” The
bulletin contains plans and specifications for six different houses suit-
able for farmers, varying from a small one-storey house, designed for
a new settler, to a large comfortable and attractive home for the pros-
perous farmer. These plans have been prepared by men who are
thoroughly in touch with the requirements of farmers and the result
is a series which will appeal immediately and will unquestionably re-

sult in improving the Prairie Province market for B. C. timber and
lumber. sot

Glasgow Trade in 1915

Cant & Kemp, Glasgow, Scotland, in their annual timber market
report say:—The Timber Trade during 1915 has been without pre-
cedent. The year began with a great increase in freights, and many —
buyers felt timid about paying the prices demanded, as they feared
the rates would not be maintained.
freight rates quoted today to see how entirely wrong such fears were.
lreights are now in most cases more than double those current in
the early months of the year, and further increases are being con-
stantly demanded. The consumption all round has been good,
although the demand from the Shipbuilding Industry has been smaller
than usual, on account of the class of vessels under construction not
calling for the same quantities of timber. Spruce has been in strong
demand for box-making, etc. Owing to the curtailed imports from

Lower Ports. Hardwoods and faney woods of the lower grades”
particularly have met with a steady sale, and stocks are low. ,

Shipbuilders have experienced a trying year. The demand from
the Admiralty has been great, and most of the yards are almost
wholly controlled by the Government.
of new steamers for merchant service on the Clyde has been 126
vessels, measuring 215,060 tons, as against 307 vessels, measuring
460,258 tons for 1914, being a decrease of 181 vessels, measuring
245,198 tons for the year. | Shipbuilders have also a difficult problem
to solve in the delivering of steamers contracted for before the war,
owing to the great advance in wages and materials, and unless war
prices are obtainable serious losses must ensue. It is, however,
some satisfaction to know that already enquiries are being made for
large liners, as well as other classes of steamers, which would appear

' to indicate good trade after the war.

The housebuilding trade has had another year of depression,
ordinary building operations being almost at a standstill, the high
cost of wages and materials rendering such work unprofitable.

The waginbuilding trade has been well employed, largely with
war work,—the wood consumed being large quantities of wagon oak
planks, ash, hickory, etc., in the making of transport and other
wagons, while much of the ordinary work is at a standstill at pre-
sent, for both home and foreign buyers.

The cabinetmaking industry has suffered from the war, par-
ticularly in high-class furniture, although an active demand for the
cheaper qualities is reported, largely due to the high wages earned
by the workmen.

It is difficult to anticipate for the coming year, as so much de-
pends upon the duration of the war, but so long as the high freights,
continue, and the large Government orders come on the market, it is
reasonable to suppose that the present values will be maintained—
at least while the war lasts. We have luckily been very free from
any serious labor troubles or financial difficulties during the year, and
it is hoped that this satisfactory state of affairs may continue. ;

_ Quebec Yellow Pine Waney Boardwood.—The stock is moder-
ate. The demand has chiefly been for parcels suitable for war work,
for which high prices have been obtained.

Quebec Red Pine.—There are no logs in stock and only a small
quantity of deals on hand. The demand is limited with firm prices.

Quebec Oak.—The stock is greatly reduced. The import has
not been heavy, with a moderate enquiry. Quotations are very firm.

Quebec Elm.—The stock is very similar to last year. Values
have considerably advanced and are still likely to increase.

Ash.—The stock is considerable, and consists chiefly of States
wood. Prices are high, and may be quoted from 4/ upwards per
cubic foot, for fresh parcels of logs, according to quality and specifi-
cation, and from 3/ to 5/6 per cubic foot for planks and boards,
according to quality and specification.

Birch.—The stock of logs is much reduced from last year. The
stock of planks and boards is also considerably lower. There has
been a good demand for special specifications, and prices are firm.
Quotations are, logs:—2s. 9d. to 3s. 3d. Planks, 2s. 9d. to 3s. 3d.,
all per cubic foot.

Quebec Yellow Pine Deals, etc—The stocks are moderate. The
import has been on a small scale. The demand, however, is not
very great, and the stocks on hand may probably be ample for the
market’s requirements. Prices are firm, and may be quoted as fol-

of The Michigan Manufacturers’ Association at their annual meeting
held in Detroit during the week of February 17th. With Mr. Culver’s
election a vigorous policy will be adopted along many lines of effort
and the Association will undoubtedly become a greater force in the
industrial world than ever before. This organization comprises in its
membership the greater number of the progressive manufacturers of
the State and has made its influence felt in every movement having
for its object the betterment of the conditions of employers and em-
ployees.

Is Time Saved

When to this is added increased durability
we have the economy that naturally results
from larger output and long service.

These are some of the strong points in
favor of

Disston Cross-Cut Saws

They are ground to a true taper all the
way from cutting edge to an extra thin
back. Being ground on lines that conform
exactly to the breast of the saw, the blade
is absolutely uniform in thickness through-
out the entire length of the cutting edge.
This special method of grinding gives the
maximum amount of clearance with the
minimum amount of set, without sacrific-
ing elasticity and stiffness. You know that
all.these points are good points, and sub-
stantiate our claim that Disston Cross-cut
saws are unexcelled.

You will find a lot of valuable information
in our Cross-Cut Saw Booklet. Sent free

The Three Goodhue Belts

“EXTRA” “STANDARD” ‘ACME WATERPROOF”

These three brands are made for three different services and each brand is the best quality
made from selected hides with the stretch taken out.

‘‘Goodhue Belts” stretch less than any other belt by 15 to 25 per cent. This °
\ quality effects a great saving because it is unnecessary to be continually shorten-
\\ ing the belt to keep it taut.

Mi, he :

‘Acme Waterproof”’ brand is made for the wet places in a mill and will

give a remarkable service under the most trying conditions.

When you buy a belt—buy a Goodhue. Prices and particulars on request.

Seeisthan or Anaconda

Belts do not stretch, there is
no upkeep cost or loss of pro-

duction by having to shut down
to take up the belt.

This belt drives.a line shaft that has fourteen
dry pans; all these dry pans are equipped with 16”
x 8-ply LEVIATHAN belting. There is no other
brick plant in Canada or the United States that has
fourteen dry pans on one line shaft.

Another ANACONDA 48” x 10-ply in
this same plant replaced triple leather that was only
in service two years. The upkeep cost of that leather
belt was so expensive that they replaced it with

ANACONDA.

Are you willing, is your Power Department
willing to stop thinking of belting in terms of material

The designs of our Logging locomotives are the
result of wide experience, extending over a period
of 80 years.

The material used in their construction is thor-

oughly tested and is the best of its kind.

All details are accurately finished to standard

gauges and are absolutely interchangeable on all locomotives of the same class and size.

This cuts out long delays at critical times of the work, as parts liable to wear can be kept on hand or

shipped promptly from our works.

will convince you of this fact:

That it is cheaper to use two
files where you now use only one.

Take a certain piece of work

. and give one man a new file, and

another a half worn file on a simi-
lar piece of work.

The man with the new file is
doing what you are paying him
for. The other man is filing away
your time.

The man with the new file
takes a pride in his work.

The man with the old file starts
with a grouch, and the work suffers.

When the inefficient point in
the files is reached it is good policy
for you to have your men discard
them.

And they should be replaced
with the five famous brands:

AMERICAN
ARCADE

Made in Canada by a plant
controlling 90% of the file business.

Plymouth Cordage Stands The Test

These men are testing a piece of 2%” (dia.)

Plymouth Manila Rope. It has just withstood
a 45,000-pound strain, though sold to hold but
43, 000. .

If this surplus strength were an isolated
case, it would mean little. But Plymouth Cord-

age in general tests ‘‘ higher than card.’’ The
instance cited here is typical.

This is an important fact, for it means that
whenever you buy Plymouth you secure cordage
that offers a comfortable margin of safety.

Because of this margin of safety—this sur-
plus strength—Plymouth stands up under the
most severe strains of service where other kinds

fall down.

And since much the same factors which make
a rope strong make it durable as well, Plymouth’s
length of service is as superior as its strength.

Actual service is the real test and proof of

the superiority of Plymouth Cordage, and that
is the test we ask you to put it to.

But even so, does your own trade
know it? Remember that a great
many persons right in your own

Arkansas Soft Pine already. In
fact, they are half sold on it Today.

Don’t overlook your main chance. Tell your
customers, present and future, that you are

In other words, couple your own local mer-
chandising with our National advertising. By
so doing, you secure the benefit of a ready-to-

Arkansas Soft Pine is known in your town as
a particularly good wood for white enamel
and other finishes.

What are you doing to let the people know
that you sell that identical wood? Don’t
overlook the important factor that when a man
really wants a thing, cost is a secondary con-
sideration.

Some Facts Concerning “Dunlop”

The story back of the “Two Hands” trade-mark—the phenomenal expansion of the business, the wide-
spread character of the demand—will appeal to every Canadian from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

* * *

While the name “Dunlop” in every part of the civilized world is associated with tires, the Dunlop
Company manufactures practically everything compounded of rubber, and has a special experimental
department devoted to the perfecting of established lines and to the creating of new ones.

* * *

The Dunlop Company is a thoroughly Canadian institution, controlled by Canadians, and financed
entirely, by Canadian capital. For approximately one-quarter of a century this Company has successfully
carried on the business of rubber goods manufacturing.

* * *

Some conception of how the Dunlop idea, applied to general rubber-made goods, has been popularized
can be gleaned from this statement :—
“The factory additions for 1912 were alone nearly as great as the entire floor area of seven
years previous; and in 1915 the additions were just double those of 1912.”

Though the Head Office and Factories of the Company are located in Toronto, Branches, carrying com-
plete stocks, are situated in the following cities:—Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon,
Regina, Winnipeg, London, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, St. John, Halifax.

* * *

Following along the best established custom for obtaining the most accurate estimate of Canadian
conditions, the Branch Managers of the Company, from coast to coast, assemble at the Head Office
periodically, and there in conclave present their viewpoints.

* * *
Officers of the Company regularly make tours of inspection from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
* * *

Thus, while the Company is essentially Eastern, each Branch, with its efficient staff, is a connecting
link with the people of the different territories, an assurance that the Dunlop business is continental in its
scope and national in its character.

Dunlop Rubber Belts

A judicious selection of Main Drive Belts will cut your belt bills in half, as well as minimize mishaps

from belts going wrong.
* * *

All of our best experience in belt-making is represented in “Gibraltar Redspecial”—a friction face, main

drive belt—a radically different, most unusual belt. No service is too exacting; no condition is too

: abnormal; no load is too heavy for “Gibraltar.” Will not dry nor rot, and is practically immune to stretch-
ing, as it is made by a process that automatically removes this evil.

* * *

Dunlop “Gibraltar Redspecial” (Heavy Duck) is essentially a saw or lumber mill belt. It is giving
wonderful service under most abnormal conditions. Its endless fund of toughness and great tenacity make
it the ideal belt when constantly exposed to the elements.

4 * *

Dunlop “Gibraltar Redspecial” (Light Duck) will be found most efficient on woodworking or other

high-speed machines.
ae e. *

We, also, make rubber-faced belts in any grade for main drive purposes. Two of these brands—
“Peerless” and “Record” are well-known for their superior qualities.

Dunlop Hose

Fire Hose is a necessary adjunct to the equipment of every saw or lumber mill, because the risk of fire
in these industries is very great.

* * *

Adequate and efficient fire protection is secured only through the use of reliable hose—hose that is
always ready for use when necessity arises—hose that will stand the utmost power and give the greatest
wear.

* * *
These are two of the main characteristics of “Dunlop” Double Jacket and “Imperial” Solid Woven
* Jacket Fire Hose—two brands that are the pride of the largest fire departments in Canada. They, also,
possess straight and smooth waterways, and the weight, grade and texture of the cotton jackets are always

right.
* * *

We supply other brands of Fire Hose with single or double cotton jacket or rubber cover, in any grade
to suit all requirements.
* * *

In this connection we wish you to remember that we are the only rubber company
in Canada authorized by the Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., Chicago, to manufacture Fire

Hose bearing their rubber label of approval.
* ** *

If you use water hose you won’t be satisfied with any product other than Dunlop “Hercules” or
“Peerless”—two brands of hose admirably adapted for water purposes. “Hercules” will supply the need for
an unusual hose in case of abnormal usage.

Dunlop Packings

What Dunlop “Sunset” (red) and “Admiral” (blue) Packings have done in the way of giving extra
service and reducing packing costs for the Steel Companies of Nova Scotia—or for that matter, countless
big industries located throughout the Dominion—they can do for you.

* * *

For many years Dunlop Packings have been doing continuous duty in some of Canada’s largest steel
mills where abnormal service and conditions prevail—where a packing is subjected to the severest kind of
tests—where its ability to do the work efficiently is a known factor from the beginning.

* * *

Is not this fact, then, tangible evidence of the character of the Dunlop product? Does it not satisfy
you that Dunlop Packings are what you need to solve the “rising up-keep cost” problem?

* * *

We realize you want service from the packings you buy and we know that Dunlop Packings can give it.
Supposing, then, we get together before you order your next roll of packing.

x * *
The Dunlop trademark will also be found on Square Duck, C.B.S. and C.I. Spiral, or, in fact, on any

other kind of reliable packings required.
x * *

Tell us your requirements in rubber-made goods and we will endeavor to prove to you what you really
need in Belting, Hose and Packings.

construction problem. Readjustment of the business and industrial
situation, however, has not been considered by the press in veneral
to anything like the extent that it warrants.

In connection with Great Britain and Canada, and to a large ex-

It will give them the whip

Even when one looks at this question in a broad and general way
he cannot fail to be convinced that of all the countries in the world,
the one which will develop most rapidly and most substantially’ after
the war will be Canada. Our agricultural and manufacturing pro-
ducts are nearly all of a class that will be in demand in Great Britain.
France, Belgium and other European countries. Our manufacturing
and producing capacity will be strained to the utmost, and those who
have foreseen the situation and placed their affairs in such shape as to
take part in Canada’s great expansion will reap a greater harvest of
business prosperity than they ever dreamed of in the days before the
war.

To put the matter in as brief and simple a form as possible, Can-
zda will, more than ever before, be the Land of Promise and the Land
of Fulfillment. Her plants will be running night and day. her mer-
chants will be busy from morn till night. Her farmers will be able to
sell at good prices everything that they produce, and this prosperity
will attract to the shores of Canada a great tide of immigration. From
all parts of the world people will set out for Canada to share in its
expansion. The immigration from the United States to Canada
which started on an extensive scale only a comparatively few years
ago will be renewed and greatly increased. Moreover, from the
United States we will then draw not only farmers in large numbers,
but a far greater number of merchants and manufacturers'*than we
formerly drew. Manufacturers in the United States will be quick
to realize that, if they want to share in the trade of Great Britain and
the allied countries to the fullest extent, they must establish plans in
Canada so as to be entitled to the preferential treatment which Can-
ada will then obtain. ;

These are no idle dreams dictated by desire and unfounded on
fact. Anyone who reads what is appearing daily in the press of
Great Britain regarding the fiscal problem, knows that these views are,
warranted by the trend of public opinion in Great Britain. Free
trade has been killed. The Manchester Chamber of Commerce, the
historic hot-bed of free trade has voted against it by 998 to 527. The
greatest exponents of free trade in Great Britain have thrown it over-

in the Old Country will think of it in terms of tariff protection.
working out of protection will involve many differences of opinion,
but the great change has come about. The war has made protection
the only logical policy for Great Britain. After the war, and to a
considerable extent during the war, protective tariffs will come into
effect and they will unquestionably include preferential treatment for
the Overseas Dominions and reciprocity between the Allied Nations.

Lumber and Timber Markets

The average lumber manufacturer, and the wholesalers and re- -

tailers to an even greater extent, are, as a rule, so closely tied up
with the actual transactions involved in their daily business, that
they do not give as much time as they might to a consideration of
the connection between the ups and downs of the lumber market and
the activity of the market for standing timber. Unfortunately, the
public at large takes even a less definite interest in the connection
between the timber market and the lumber market, and for this rea-
son a great-deal of misapprehension has grown up, and become ac-
cepted as fact, in regard to supplies of standing timber, and also in
‘ ‘ <

26 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

regard to their ownership. One of the most interesting discussions
of this matter that we have seen of late is contained in a bulletin
which reached us recently from the firm of Jas. D. Lacey & Company,
Timberland Factors, Portland, Ore.

Activity in the timber market, they say, follows the lumber mar-
ket, halting when production is curtailed and ascending when business
is active. As in the case of real estate of all kinds, speculation and
buying for development ceased in 1913. Owners who were financially
unprepared for the long period of depression through which the coun-
try has passed have been compelled to offer their properties at prices
much below recognized values. Buyers were over-critical, uncertain
as to the future and influenced by the common feeling of insecurity.
Few purchases were made. Capital was not available.

Lumbermen are the principal buyers of timber. Returns from mill
operations are re-invested when balances accrue, but during the year
low lumber prices left no balances with which to acquire future stump-
age supplies. Timber held by strong owners did not depreciate. Only
a few desirable large properties were offered below former prices.
Two or three makers of bonds defaulted in their payments and the
security passed to the bondholders. Some operating concerns failed
but the number was small considering the stress of the times and
the long-continued sale of lumber at prices below the cost of pro-
duction. A number of mills stopped and some remain down. In
British Columbia conditions were particularly bad. Practically all
the mills were stopped. The pinch of the war was felt by license
holders in the province and in England. Forced liquidation brought
about transfers at low figures. A tendency toward stability in the
industry was shown by the erection of new producing plants in
California, Oregon and Washington by well-financed companies whose
organizations are capable of finding markets for their output. This
is the beginning of the elimination of operators who have not de-
veloped marketing with manufacturing.

The lessons learned from the experiences of the year should be
helpful. Need for co-operation and better understanding is seen by
lumbermen and sentiment in favor of association work has crystalized.
The West Coast Lumbermen’s Association has become energized and
it is proving the helpfulness of organized constructive effort. Its
scope has been broadened to include timber owners, shingle men and
allied industries in its membership. Timber owners have come to
see that their interests are interwoven with those of manufacturers
and that joint effort must be made to maintain the place’ and value
of wood. Manufacturers have learned that unrestrained production
does not increase demand and that destructive competition can bring
only distress. The self-inflicted punishment has been severe; it should
be sufficient for all time.

The economics of lumbering have received more thoughtful study
than ever before. Forest economists—a new type of lumbermen—
have been developed and their influence is being felt. They are men
of vision who are able to see the things for which there is need and
define the way to them. Government itself has learned from pro-
prietors that forest ownership is not synonymous with the accumula-
tion of unearned and undeserved increment. It has seen the error
of its former attacks and it is now seeking to aid in the reconstruc-
tion of the industry. It has seen that the concentration of owner-
ship, so alarmingly proclaimed in reports of earlier years, is essential ;
that lumbering is big business requiring large capital to give it sta-
bility, large-scale production to give it economy and scientific man-
agement to make it profitable. The progress of the world has loosened
the grip of the lumber maker upon his business and demanded that
more than mechanical ability shall be applied in its conduct. In lum-
ber producing states there has come to be better understanding upon
the part of the public of the importance of the industry to all the people
and the prejudice engendered in earlier years by people, press and
government unfamiliar with the facts has disappeared in part. The
public has come to have respect for an industry that yields eighty
per cent. of its receipts to labor.

The only cause for misgivings regarding the conditions which
may prevail during the year is the past failure of manufacturers to
regulate their business so that the industry shall not suffer from itself.
There should be a demand for lumber sufficient to give a fair volume
of business to existing mills, but double shifts and new operations

developed without corresponding development of markets, would
again result in over-supply, price cutting and distress. This is a criti- —
cal time for lumbermen. If they follow the bucket to the bottom of —
the well again many will never return. They now have an oppor-
tunity to rehabilitate the industry and restore its credit. Simultane-
ously they could controvert the frequent assertion that lumbermen —
are the poorest business men in the country.

Timber owners should not expect an immediate advance in stump-
age values. One or two years of real prosperity among manufac-
turers will be necessary to stimulate purchasing for speculation tracts
held at normal prices. Future purchasing will be for operating pur-
poses at required prices or for speculation at bargain prices.
long period during which the industry has been prostrate has dis
couraged some owners or extended beyond their ability to hold. Until |
all such timber has passed into strong hands there will be competi-
tion among sellers and no new levels of trading prices will be reached. —
Manufacturing must be stabilized or stumpage will go back. Bf

None can confidently predict the events that may take place dur- /
ing 1916, but it may be expected that it will bring co-operation tend-_ 4
ing toward stability in manufacturing, closer relations between tim- _
ber owners and manufacturers, sales of many tracts of timber avail- __
able for development, some speculative buying of cheap tracts and —
more or less readjustment in all directions. Speculators will be at- —
tracted to British Columbia by low-priced timber, fixed carrying costs -
over a long period of years and a disposition upon the part of the —
government to support the industry ‘rather than destroy it. The year
should be a profitable one for lumber manufacturers and timber buyers
who see beyond the present.

Exports and Imports for 1915

Exports of Canadian forest products during the calendar year of
1915 amounted in value to $49,779,509. In the three previous years
the values were as follows :—1914, $41,871,383 ; 1913, $42, 532, 673; 1912,
$43,586,853.

Imports of wood and manufacturers of wood for the year 1915
were valued at $8,273,456, whereas during 1914 the total was more
than double that of 1915, being $17,138,648. . The imports of wood
and manufactures of wood during 1915 were divided chiefly as fol-
lows :—from the United States, $7, 798, 237, from the United Kingdom,
$170,419.

During January, 1916, exports of Canadian forest products were
valued at $3,243,360. During the two preceding years the exports in
the month of January were valued as follows:—January 1915,
$1,811,049; January 1914, $2,159,088. During the 12 months ending
January the exports of Canadian forest products were valued as fol-
lows :—1916, $51,211,820; 1915, $41,523,344; 1914, $42,707,781.

A report of Great Britain’s imports during the calendar year 1915,
published in the Weekly Bulletin of the Department of Trade and
Commerce, states that the imports of sawn or split timber from Can-
ada during 1915, amounted in value to $4,844,453 as compa with
$2,579,992 during 1914.

Recruits for a Canadian Forestry Battalion (the 224th Over-

hee Government Will Use Canadian Timber Only

| Ottawa, March 8th (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—The
Dominion Government has decided to use Canadian timber only, to
the exclusion of imported timber, in all public works. Southern
pine, even in 1915, when Canada was at war and when there was a
great decrease in the consumption of lumber, was imported to the
value of over $3,000,000. In previous years very much larger quanti-
ties were imported, despite an adverse trade balance for Canada and
in the face of a supply in Canada of better timber at an equal or lower
cos , grown and manufactured entirely within the Dominion. The
minion Government has in past years tsed many million feet of
athern pine in various public works, but henceforth Canadian tim-
yer will be used to the exclusion of the foreign article. Douglas fir
ll replace Southern pine in such works as Quebec and Montreal
bor improvements and Hudson Bay terminals. Douglas fir has
en used entirely in the Toronto harbor works, as a clause was in-
‘ted in that contract calling for Canadian material.

“eh A Woodsmen’s Battalion From Canada

In connection with the formation of a regiment of woodsmen
which was recently announced by Major Sir Sam Hughes, the state-
ment wa8 made by the Minister of Militia and Defence in the House
of Commons recently that this regiment was being organized for the
purpose of cutting timber and was being recruited from among lum-
bermen in Canada. Major-Gen. Sir Sam Hughes stated that these
men were “very familiar with cutting timber into lengths of various
sizes. The freight on timber from North America and other parts to
Europe is practically prohibitive now; vessels cannot be obtained to
carry it. Timber is being cut in Europe and these men are going
over to cut it.” Major Gen. Sir Sam. Hughes also stated that Lt.-Col.
Alex. McDougall has been chosen as the commanding officer and that

he had selected two very distinguished members of the House of Com-
mons as his seconds in command. '

Lt.-Col. Alex. McDougall, Officer Commanding, informs us that
this Battalion is to be known as the 224th Overseas Canadian For-
estry Battalion and is being formed at the urgent request of the
British War Office for the purpose of getting out timber and lumber
for use in carrying on the war. It is the intention to have none but
experienced bushmen connected with the Battalion. Recruits will be
welcome who have this experience and are physically fit. It is earn-
estly hoped that all lumbermen will co-operate with the Military De-
partment in trying to make this Battalion a success. Recruiting of-
fices are to be opened immediately at Mattawa, Arnprior, Buckingham,
Hawkesbury, North Bay and Sudbury. Offices at 43 Bank Street,
‘Ottawa, and at Pembroke have already been opened.

As soon as this regiment has been mobilized, which is expected to
take about six weeks, it will be sent over to start operations in the
forests of the British Isles.

Credit Bureau Secretaries Organize

The first conference of lumber association and credit bureau sec-
retaries was held recently at Cleveland, Ohio, and representatives
_ were present from Chicago, Ottawa, Youngtsown, Toledo, Columbus,
_ Akron, Rochester, Grand Rapids, Cleveland and Detroit. Mr. J. V.
' O’Brien, Cleveland, Ohio, was appointed temporary chairman and Mr.
"ye J. F. Deacon, Detroit, Mich., temporary secretary. Mr. O’Brien
stated that the object of the conference was to bring the secretaries
together so that they might exchange ideas in regard to methods of
handling credits, etc., and to co-operate in all matters of mutual in-
terest. He submitted a tentative list of topics for discussion includ-
___ ing the following :—Plans to improve price conditions, Credit Mach-
_inery, Codes and Legislation, Advertising, Social Features, Ethics and
unfair Competition, Costs and Efficiency, Statistics and Financial
Matters. _Mr. O’Brien dealt briefly with each of these subjects and
4 general discussion followed, in the course of which many new and
clever ideas were brought out. Asa result of the discussion it was
decided that the extensive field could not be covered at an initial
meeting. It was decided therefore to hold a later meeting, to which
. members might come fully prepared to take part in a formal discus-
sion. '
The temporary officers were appointed permanent officers and it
was decided to form a permanent organization. The next meeting
will be held on Friday, March 24th. Mr. Warren J. Duffey, Toledo,

A New Firm of Wholesalers for Toronto

The ranks of the wholesale lumber trade in Toronto have been
added to by the formation of a new firm under the name of Muir, Kirk-
patrick & Sharpe, who have opened offices in rooms 1123-24 Traders
Bank Bidg., Toronto, The new firm are making a specialty of British
Columbia products and in order to facilitate this end of their business
they have opened offices also in the Central Bldg., Victoria, B.C. In
B. C. products they are handling an excellent line of fir, cedar, spruce,
white pine, shingles and lath, and making a specialty of 12 in. clear
butt shingles, also fir, cedar and spruce lath. They have formed good
connections in British Columbia and are able to guarantee splendid
stock and satisfactory shipments. Their line of Ontario products in-
cludes white, red and jack pine, spruce, hemlock, lath and posts. They
also have formed connections which will enable them to handle a good
line of yellow pine, having been appointed general agents for Ontario
for the Central Coal and Coke Company of Kansas City, Mo., one of
the largest yellow pine firms west of the Mississippi River, who have
a total capacity of 400,000,000 feet per year.

Mr. J. K. Muir is widely known throughout the lumber trade in
Canada, having had a life long experience in the lumber business, both
in the manufacturing and wholesale ends, and having ‘been engaged
during the past six years in the wholesale lumber business in Toronto.

Mr. F. A. Kirkpatrick has been connected in a selling capacity
with a leading Toronto wholesale firm during the past nine years, and
is well known to the retail trade throughout eastern and western

Ontario.

Mr. E. P. Sharpe was connected with the fire insurance business
for twelve years during which time he specialized upon sawmill and
lumber insurance. Latterly he has been connected with a Toronto
wholesale lumber firm whom he represented in the Toronto city trade
and also in the Ontario trade.

The new firm are already making themselves known to the trade
as progressive and successful business men. With the experience
and reputation that the members already have we feel sure that they
will be welcomed by the trade throughout Ontario and that they will
quickly become important factors in the wholesale lumber business of
the province.

The Swedish Timber Market During 1915

In spite of many difficulties, among these the declaration of timber
as contraband of war, the year 1915 was a favorable one for the Swed-
ish timber market. At the beginning of the year the prospects were
very unsatisfactory, but later in January the market became firmer and
by the end of the month the sales amounted to 100,000 standards. Still
there was much unstableness until the end of March, when the nego-
tiations with Germany were completed and the Swedish timber export
made free. Up to this time only 25 per cent. of the year’s output
was sold, whereas 55 per cent. had been sold during the corresponding
period of the previous year. After this the market became firmer
and the prices went up, but other circumstances counteracted this
gain. ;

The freight charges were greatly increased, and instead of agree-
ing to the f. o. b. terms the British buyers would accept only ‘payment
on safe arrival” terms. However, the War Risk Insurance Company
has been able to allow the exporters good terms. Twenty per cent.
of the premium is paid in cash and a draft given for the remainder.
This will not be collected unless the company finds this necessary at
the end of the war. :

Finland and Russia could not compete for the trade, as it was out
of the question to ship from the Baltic ports and the freights were too
high via the White sea. In addition, Austria-Hungary’s export to the
Mediterranean countries, usually amounting to about 600,000 stand-
ards, was stopped. The situation of the Swedish timber market was
also strengthened because of the extension of the British operations
to the Orient. Furthermore, the Netherlands, which country had
formerly purchased most of its timber from Russia and Finland,
placed large orders for spruce, which caused the price to increase so
that it soon reached that of fir. In September the price was up to
132 florins ($53), and there was an additional gain because of the rate
of exchange. When the rate of exchange on the pound sterling began
to get low, the Swedish exporters demanded that they be guaranteed
18.20 crowns per pound, which the British merchants at first opposed,.
but later had to agree to.

In August, France began to order timber, and the market was
very favorable. At the beginning the price was 175 francs ($33.78),
but by the end of the year it had gone up to 200 francs. The unusu-
ally early winter and the great amount of ice in the northern ports
hindered the traffic considerably.

In the middle of November orders began to be taken for 1916 and
the prices were very favorable, compared with those received for the
sales in the earlier part of 1915——(U. S. Commerce Reports.)

Market for Canadian Timber in France

Imports Before the War Chiefly from European Countries—Rebuilding Period .
Will Present Great Opportunities.
By H.R. MacMillan*

Compared with Great Britain, France does not import large quan-
tities of timber. The per capita importation of Great Britain for
1914 amounted to $3.60 per head. The annual consumption of timber
in Great Britain for the year amounted to 14 cubic feet per head, of
which 16 per cent. was grown at home and 8&4 per cent. imported. For
the same year France imported timber valued at $37,380,000, an aver-
age of 93 cents per head, just one-quarter the per capita importations
of Great Britain.

The importations of timber into France for 1913 amounted to
about 1,775,000,000 feet board measure, reckoning all commodities in
this measure. The varieties are not clearly separated in the Customs
statistics, but the most important classes are shown approximately

An overwhelming proportion of timber imports into France are
from European countries. That this should be so is due to the care
paid to forest protection and management in Europe.

The only products of importance purchased by France outside
Icurope are pitch-pine and oak from the United States, oak from Japan,
and Douglas fir from Canada and the United States.

Softwoods

The most important product imported into France is softwood
from Russia, Scandinavia, Germany and Austria-Hungary. This
timber is imported for general building purposes.

The lumber imported into France is chiefly cut in inch sizes, it is
classified in the Customs statistics, however, for duty purposes accord-
ing to the metric system.

Over 60 per cent. of the softwood lumber imported into France is
between 1 2-5 and 3 1-5 inches in thickness, being 1%, 2 and 3-inch
deals; 30 per cent. is lumber less than 1 2-5 inches in thickness and
the remainder is timbers and logs.

The average price of this class of material imported was, before
the war :—

The sale of Eastern Canadian deals in the market would depend
entirely on price.

When freights again become normal Douglas fir will also be able
to compete in France for general building purposes. Up to the pre-
sent it has been used only in comparatively limited regions where
large timbers are required and as a building timber is not well known.
The prospects for use in France will be improved by the great demand

likely to be made on European forests after the war and the increased
prices to be expected. The fact that during the war Douglas fir com
mon lumber has been extensively used in trenches, military and cor
missariat buildings, railroads and temporary buildings will also pro
an argument in its favor. 3
Pitch-Pine
Pitch-pine has long been used in large quantities in France.
United States is the only country supplying it. About 69 per
of the pitch-pine is imported in timbers 6 inches by 6 inches and la
18 per cent. is 1 2-5 inches by 3 1-5 inches thick, and 13 per cent. is
in the form of boards less than 1 2-5 inches in thickness. : _
Pitch-pine is the timber commonly imported for industrial pur-
poses, for public works, harbor and naval works, and has held the
market to the exclusion of Douglas fir because it was cheaper. © -*9
The shipping of Douglas fir through the Panama canal will alter.
the situation. Douglas fir will, when conditions become normal, be
cheaper than pitch-pine. It will have the further advantage of
ere freedom from defects, a consideration highly appreciated in
‘rance. ; ,
The sales of pitch-pine to France are handled chiefly by brokerage
houses and timber dealers in London, some of whom have branches in
France. The shipments are handled both by parcels in liners and by
full cargoes. ;
Should any of the*regular lines operating between the Pacific —
coast and Europe arrange calls at French ports business would be fa-
cilitated. . ;
Sleepers

There are 25,471 miles of railroad in France, in which are over
60,000,000 sleepers. Sleepers are used at the rate of 2,400 to the mile.

Five thousand six hundred miles of railroad are owned and oper-—
ated by the State, the remainder is owned and operated by five ditfer-
ent companies. 4

Hardwood sleepers are preferred. Beech and oak are the most
commonly used. Maritime pine, Scotch pine and spruce are also
used. No sleepers are used without creosoting. The average life
of creosoted beech and oak is twenty to twenty-five years. The pines
give a life of fifteen to eighteen years, and spruce eight years.

Very rough sleepers are accepted, particularly in oak, many of
which are crooked, half round, irregular in shape and size.

The annual requirements of the French railways are 6,000,000
About 5,500,000 are produced locally and 500,000 imported.
The imported sleepers are chiefly beech from Austria-Hungary and
Turkey. The domestic sleepers are chiefly oak, Maritime and Scotch
pine. } ‘

The prices of the imported sleepers in 1912 were:—

Oak... 72s eeee 66 cents each (containing 3% cu. ft.)

Others (chiefly beech) 58 io * hah

Until the war Douglas fir had not been used in France for sleep- —
ers. During thé war large quantities have been used, both in main- —
tenance and extensions of the established railway systems and in the —
building of purely military lines. Standard sleepers have in nearly
all cases been purchased for the latter lines with the object of turning —
them over to commercial railroads when the need for the temporary —
military roads no longer exists. These sleepers are all used without —
any preservative treatment. : ~J

Untreated Douglas fir sleepers will have had a fair trial. Samples —
have also been sent to the various French railroads in order that they
may be creosoted and given a trial. All sleepers imported into France —
are imported before creosoting. a es

The engineers of the French railroads give preference to a hard i ;
sleeper. ? 8
Immediately following upon the war there may be a demand for
imported sleepers. Otherwise the market in France will remain lim- —
ited to about one-tenth the annual requirements of the country. The —
other nine-tenths will continue to be supplied from the French for-—
ests, where only the poorer trees and the lower grades of timber are —
made into sleepers. :

Before Canadian sleepers can compete in the French market it —
will be necessary to demonstrate that they have the necessary life.
This can best be done by actual trial of the sleepers in France. ;

Sleepers from Eastern Canada would find a ready market in —
France if they could be delivered c. i. f. French ports to compete with
the prices quoted. Beech and maple particularly would find a ready —
market. i”

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 39

During the war timber outside of Russia has been cut and de-
stroyed at an annual rate hitherto unknown in Europe. The western
battle line is stretched through one of the most productive forests of
France. Elsewhere in Europe war has obliterated forests. Behind
the lines of the enemy and the Allies timber has been cut for war
purposes in quantities far exceeding the requirements of peace time.
Lhe European neutrals have greatly imcreased their cut to reap the
harvest of high prices.

Nor will Belgium and France be the source of the only call for
timber. Twice as great a population is homeless in Poland, East
Prussia and Northeast Hungary as on the Western front. There
only the naked land remains. The timber requirements will be en-
ormous, particularly because it is a country where wood has always
been the most important building material and where the instinct of
the population will be to rebuild in wood.

The timber for rebuilding this eastern and interior region will not
come from North America. It will be supplied from Russia, the Bal-
tic ,and the enemy countries. The immense quantities of timber to
be required in this, the most accessible market to their forests, will
decrease the quantity of Russian, Scandinavian and enemy timber
likely to find its.way to France and Belgium, and will also tend to
raise the level of European timber prices.

It is a safe conclusion, therefore, that large quantities of timber
from North America will be required in France and Belgium. The
general requirements will be for lumber suitable for portable build-
ings, common lumber for sheathing, studding, joists, rafters, cheap
doors, sash, and timbers for falsework and temporary reconstruction
of railroads, bridges and other large works.

Roofing will be in great demand. The competition will be be-
tween galvanized iron, prepared roofings and possibly shingles. The
prospects do not look good for shingles, because the galvanized iron
and felt roofings are cheap, quickly laid and on the spot, and because
the European cannot think in terms of a wooden roof.

It has been considered by the authorities purchasing timber for
the Allies that vast quantities of the timber taken to the tront for war
purposes will be available after the war for rebuilding the country.
The quantity, were it available, is insufficient, and moreover the
wastage has been enormous. In spite of all that may be done great
quantities of timber will be necessary from outside Europe.

The present is the time to arrange for the supply. It is possible
that, in order to keep prices down and to systematize the work of re-
construction, the purchases will be made through Government chan-
nels. If not, British and continental firms will buy on their own ac-
count in the usual manner. Canadian exporters should be prepared
for either eventuality and should have arrangements made so that in

‘any case they may receive inquiries through competent reliable sour-

ces the moment demand appears.—Trade and Commerce Weekly
Bulletin.

lected $108.72 from the Board, to my knowledge. Recently, I understand, that

work and are working and earning the same wages as they received before
they were injured. As this Act has been-in force only one year, it is almost
impossible to have everything perfect, but we all hope that things will im-

prove in time.
* * cs

Operation of Act Too Expensive

I have only met one assessment for the Workmen’s Compensation Act,
and that only for four months of last year. I have not been notified as to my
last assessment. I paid last year $1.80 per $100. My payroll I sent in, for the
last year, is $5,083. I had one man lose his little finger with the cut of a
saw cutting slabs. His compensation was about $40, being 55 per cent. of all
time lost, and he was sent $45 for being disabled, so he had full wages for
all the time he laid off at $2 per day. Now, on the other hand, that is the
first employée I ever had hurt who would have come under the act. I never
had a man laid off for one week in thirty years milling and bush work from
an accident. Besides, I am the only mill here that I know of that has had
an accident, and I expect it will average about the same through all the mills.

Now, you see, I will pay in, at the 1.80 per cent. in full for my employee,
and the other mills I have mentioned will pay as much. If four of us pay
enough for four employees being compensated, do you not think that the
expense of taking charge of the act is far too much, when we only get one-

quarter back for what we pay in? Now, in my case, the employee could not

have come on me for any damage as my saw was fully guarded- Of course, it
was a good thing for him. It would have been at my own option whether
I compensated him or not.

I certainly have no objection to paying a reasonable insurance for the
benefit of employees getting hurt, but if we have to pay three-quarters for the

act to compel us, I do object.
* * * ;

Employees Ought to Contribute

Fortunately, we had no accidents in our operation during 1915. We were
assessed on $8,000 at 2 per cent., making it $160. One-half we paid January
ist, 1915, or there abouts, and the balance, $80, on or about July ist, 1915, with
interest at’6 per cent. per annum $240. Owing to curtailed lumber operations
we only paid out $5,000 and a few dollars, and up to date have not contributed
any this year.

We were not at all pleased with the call one year ago (in the face of money
stringencies) to enable the Board to accumulate a fund of $1,000,000, when the
manufacturers of this country could have used this money to better advantage
employing laborers who were worse in need of money than they were in need
of compensation.

We hope to see many amendments to the Act in the next few years, and
the first and most important, in our opinion, is to attach some of the responsi-
bility to the employee where an accident occurs through his own carelessness.

We also think that an employee should be a contributor to the fund
through his employer. This would help guard against paying compensation
to the undeserving. This is an evil which will creep in in these days of graft,
and will be like a millstone on the manufacturer’s neck.

k * *

All Right for all Parties but Rates Too High

We paid last year $240 premium, and our mill contractor paid $108; this
is about four times what we used to pay for liability insurance. We have had
more accidents in 1915 than we had in the previous eight years. The writer,
who has been sawmilling for over thirty years, and never got a scratch, just
happened to walk into the mill on July the 12th and sit down, when he got a
thigh smashed with a board from the edger, and was in the hospital for two
months. Altogether, the employees have drawn from the fund about $319.27,
and there is one man who is still drawing compensation who got hurt since
the first of the year. We think that it is all right for the men and also for

We are manufacturers of white pine lumber, lath and pickets, starting
our process with cutting the timber in the woods, taking it to the mill, m an -
facturing it into rough lumber, lath and pickets, and piling the product on
the docks ready for shipment. In our mill and yard we employ about t
hundred men, and in our logging department we have from four hundred to
one thousand men, depending on the extent of our operations. ae

In the past eight years our total payrolls, we estimate, would aggregat
over $1,250,000. For casualty claims we have paid to our employees an amount
not to exceed $2,500, or about one-fifth of one per cent. of our payroll. Every
claim has been settled amiably and to the satisfaction of the employees or their
heirs. Not one case has been taken to the courts for adjustment. 1 a

Last year, in our logging department, the payroll was $60,042. Our
Workmen’s Compensation tax was $1,200, and the compensation paid was,
in round figures, $80. Our tax was at the rate of 1.80 per cent., and com- ©
pensation amounted to less than one-seventh of one per cent—a difference —
in this particular case of over 1.60 per cent., or $1,120. We paid as premium
more than fourteen times our paid out compensation. if

In our mill department the payroll last year was about $74,500. Our Work-
men’s Compensation tax was $1,343, and we paid out for compensation $355.
Our claims were less than one-half of one per cent., and our tax was at the —
rate of two per cent. =

Our total compensation paid last year was, based on our payroll, approxi-
mately one-third of one per,cent. We paid to the Workmen’s Compensation
Act at the rate of over 1.90 per cent. ;

The above percentages and comparisons throw a fairly clear light
the situation from our viewpoint. !

The lumber industry is the largest industry in Canada. It ranks first of —
the manufacturing industries in the number of employees. It is the largest
industrial consumer of farm products. Its tonnage given to the railroads is
among the largest. It is estimated that from seventy-five to eighty per cent.
of the cost of lumber goes to labor, farm products, and freight. y

An industry of this magnitude and universal benefit can afford to be
given deep consideration, and deserves the support of the Government and —
people in the framing of a Compensation Act which will be just and equitable.
We believe the lumbermen, as a class, are in favor of some form of com-
pensation for their workmen, and that they will be liberal, and not niggardly,
in their expenditures for the support of such an act. At the present time it
seems as though the lumber industries have been paying too dearly for com-
pensation. We hope they have not been carrying the burdens of other in-
dustries, that their equipment is modern and safe, and has the necessary pre-
ventives, and is not causing unnecessary accidents. ght

At present, in case of indemnity to an employee, the employer has been
given little consideration. He simply files a statistical report, giving name of
employee, time and place of accident, also nature of injury, together with
other minor details. He, the employer, has no voice in the adjustment of
compensation, although he is the only representative on the scene of acci- —
dent, the one most familiar with the personal character and home surroundings
of the injured, and last, but not least, furnishes the funds by which compensa- =
tion is made possible. ' >

We believe the Compensation Board is working industriously and earnestly,
in its endeavor to make the Act adequate, but permit us to present a few
suggestions. hia :

Put the Workmen’s Compensation Act on a mutual basis. At the beginning ©
of the year levy an estimated tax on each class—one believed to be sufficient a
to cover all expenditures in the class. After a few years’ experience this esti- a
mate should be quite accurate. Then, at the end of the year, take the total —
indemnities and expenses in each class and divide them proportionately, on a
payroll basis, among the companies in the class, and refund or charge the —
difference between the estimated and actual tax. ; se

In case of accident to an employee, have report submitted to the Board
of supervisors, the same as at present, but permit the employer to make ad- _
justment of the claim, if he can do so satisfactorily to the employee and him-
self, within a reasonable time, and providing such adjustment meets with the
approval of the Board. If no adjustment can be made by the employer, allow
the case to come before a tribunal for decision, as in the present system.

In order that we may understand how the present Act is working, we ?,

‘Pitch Pine Exports Will Benefit B. C. Fir Trade

_ Editor Canada Lumberman :— Vancouver, B. C.

The situation in the Southern pitch pine market today is one of
interest to all lumbermen—even those on the Pacific Coast. With a

ee foreign order that was taken on by thé mills last fall still un- -

1, we now hear of another for the French Government for
200 million feet being placed in Savannah, Georgia. This order is
for early delivery and carries with it the proviso that shipping facili-
ties will be guaranteed by the French Government. There are other
enquiries out for foreign shipment, including one for 75,000 pitch pine

ties; nor is this the only gleam of sunshine that is illuminating the

“pitch pine market. The scarcity of steel, owing to the enormous
foreign orders the steel mills have undertaken, has turned the atten-
tion of the railroad engineers to pitch pine. In short, yellow pine
seems to. be fairly in for a season of appreciable prosperity. Nor is
the season of prosperity likely to be soon over. From every port
that a pitch pine stick of timber ever went out of, comes up the cry

British Columbia’s Production and Prospects

The production of lumber in British Columbia during the past
year was 1,151,903,000 board feet. The cut exceeded that of the pre-
vious year by nearly two million feet. The value of forest products
totalled $29,150,000, as compared with $28,650,000 the previous year,
approximately ten million dollars being paid direct to wage-earners
in mills and woods, and a similar amount for transportation, of which
labor received a large proportion, and over four and a half million
dollars was expended in supplies.

The shingle business exceeded other years, the production being
valued at about $3,500,000. Sawn lumber produced about half of the
total production, and various woodworking manufacturers, pulp, box-
making, shingle, etc., produced eight million dollars.

Hon. Wm. R. Ross, Minister of Lands for British Columbia,
referring to the present state of the lumber industry says :—

“During the depression of the last three years no industries have
suffered more severely than the logging and ‘sawmilling industries.
Many mills and camps have been shut down and even among those
which survived it has been impossible in many cases to cut down
standing timber and make a profit out of manufacturing it. The de-
crease in the demand for lumber during the period referred to was
most serious and statistics show that a sawmill capacity of consider-
ably over three hundred million feet a year has been put out of action
by the closing of mills around Vancouver, Victoria and New West-
minster. This meant four million dollars or so of money which these
mills could have circulated in these cities last year had they been in
operation.”

“Speaking generally, the outlook for an export lumber trade for
British Columbia is excellent, once the shipping difficulty is sur-
mounted. Last summer several hundred thousand dollars worth of
business was secured by the Provincial Government acting as agents
for British authorities. As soon as the Panama Canal is definitely
opened that United Kingdom business will be resumed if shipping
can be secured. In India and South Africa there is business awaiting
us—held up for the time being by the lack of shipping, but awaiting
us nevertheless. In both these countries, just as in Australia, there
is a strong feeling created by the war, a feeling which is shared by
Canada—that trade within the Empire must henceforward be a funda-
mental principle for the British Empire. As far as lumber is con-
cerned, British Columbia is the natural source of supply for Australia,
South Africa and India. A fair share of the Australian market alone
would mean prosperity for our tide-water mills, if only a reasonable
tariff preference be given our products. That such preference is cer-
tain to come, even our American competitors admit, and the special
investigator whom they despatched to the Australian market sorrow-
fully confirms this fact; the whole lumber export question is being
systematically pushed by every means within our power, and only the
lack of shipping stands between us and the immediate results.

“Before leaving the question of lumbering reference should be
made to the subject of further manufacture. In the lumber business
we ship material that should be worked up here into manufactured
products—we pay freight on shavings and sawdust and waste to
factories elsewhere. This is all wrong. These woodworking factories
should be located in the province itself, giving employment to skilled
workmen in cities like Vancouver and Victoria. We should manu-
facture our own goods. I am glad to notice in this connection the
progress that has been made towards a better state of things. For
instance, the box industry is becoming an important one in Vancouver
and Victoria and here we ship the completely-manufactured product.
In the government’s lumber market campaign this question of home
manufacture is being studied carefully, for it has a very important
bearing on our business future.”

The Trade Extension Department of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers Association has completed the first of a series of engineer-
ing bulletins for architects and builders, the title being “Timber for
Structural Purposes,” and E. A. Sterling, Manager of the Trade Ex-
tension Department is the author. All the bulletins will be written
by experts on technical topics, and give practical data to builders.
This series of bulletins will probably comprise one of the most valu-
able series of building documents ever published.

Annual Meeting of Western Retailers

Good Progress Shown in Reports Presented—W. D. Galvin Re-elected President—
Uses and Limits of Associations

The twenty-fifth annual convention of the Western Retail Lum-
bermen’s Association, representing the lumbering and woodworking
interests of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, was held at Winni-
peg recently. Almost 300 delegates were in attendance, being from
districts as far‘apart as Victoria, B: C., Fort Frances, Ont, and’ st.
Paul, Minn., U.S. A. For the first time for many years the retailers
invited the manufacturers and wholesalers to partake in their conven-
tion. A further feature of the meeting was the fact that for the first
time in the history of the Association, the retail lumber dealers from
Alberta had a voice in the proceedings owing to the affiliation of this
Province at the twenty-fourt annual meeting of the Western Retail
Lumbermen’s Association.

President’s Address

The President, Mr. W. D. Galvin, of the Galvin Lumber Yards,
Ltd., Winnipeg, in his annual address said in part :—

Events of profound and colossal importance have stirred the world during
the past twelve months,—events in which Canada is particularly concerned.
Yet at the close of this memorable year we find, upon taking inventory, that
in this country we have much cause for gratification. This is shown from a
material view point in an abundance of crops of all kinds and an increased
output of manufacturers, in themselves evidence that there may be found
resources of sufficient adequacy to supply a self-supporting nation.

To be recognized as logical distributors of lumber supplies, we in turn
must recognize and meet the various demands of the public, even where part
of such demands must be supplied in a manner unlike that with which we have
been accustomed. ;

In other words, we must meet the varying demands of ADEQUATE
SERVICE if we hope to keep the business at home. The lack of such ser-
vice shows the lack of progress on the part of the dealer. Unquestionably
this is recognized as the guiding principle in the conduct of his business, by
nearly every dealer.

It means that having obtained a contract, we have not rendered adequate °

service to our customer by selling him the abstract forms of dimension,
boards and shiplap, unless we have entered into the transaction by supplying
necessary suggestions and aid for completing the concrete form as exempli-
fied in a finished house, barn, or-other building, to the satisfaction of the
customer. This thought has been supplied and-emphasized in a most thor-
ough manner by the activities of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion of the Western States.

It means, that in order to accomplish things, you should continually make
use of your building department devised for this purpose, or some other good
building plan system, if there is any reason why you cannot use that of the
association. ;

W.D. Galvin, re-elected President of the
Western Retail Lumbermen’s Asaociation

Alan M. Stewart, re-elected Sec.-Treas. Western Retail
Lumbermen’s Mutual Fire Insurance Company

It means that you should use constantly and conscientiously, all of the
devices which are supplied by the Association, and which cannot succeed un-
less they have the support of your co-operation.

It means loyal support for the undertakings of your Association both
active and financial.

It means, that we should devise a more adequate system of credits
throughout the country, and, having been devised, it should be constantly
adhered to:—a system that will establish a proper relation between the man
who is entitled to credit and the one who is not, affording a measure of ade-
quate service to the worthy man, and a means of protection to the dealer.

A progressive and constructive policy means that the retailer should ever
bear in mind the fact that his co-relation with the manufacturer is funda-
mental; that a greater co-operation should exist between the two branches of —
the one industry to the end that the greatest economic good may be accom-
plished for the public as well as the producer or dealer. This can only be
done by proper measures of distribution rendering adequate supply service to
the public, and by proper manufacturing methods with a view to elimination
of waste; both with due regard for forest conservation.

It means an earnest endeavor to correct economic abuses within our in-
dustry, one of the most flagrant of which is inordinate overcrowding of com-
petition at many points, bearing definite illustration in itself by necessity of
the old saying, that “the consumer must pay the tax.’ Where two or even
three yards at some points would suffice to afford abundance of competition,
the existence of five or six yards, as is often found, creates a burden of over-
head expense without adding one iota of service, and affords good cause on the
part of the public for the suspicion, that as a result of this abuse, someone
other than the dealer must pay. The fact is the stage of “diminishing” re-
turns has been reached, and many communities as well as the industry would
be far better off if this evil could be corrected. he

.- What more does a progressive and constructive policy mean?

It means above all, that our activities should always be made clear and
above public suspicion. They should be conducted on a basis of broadminded
business administration free from deserved reproach or criticism, and in such
a manner as to make sure that our business occupies an honored position
before the public, second to that of no other industry. This may be accom-
plished by throwing open the methods of our business to public scrutiny ats
any time, so that the oft repeated opprobrium, “Robber lumber dealer,” and
such other mendacious fallacies may no longer be used, even by a minor un-
informed portion of the public.

Secretary’s Report

The secretary’s report presented by Mr. N. G. Neil stated that
out of a total of 1,400 yards, 55 per cent. were now members of the
Association and 70 per cent. were actually affiliated with it in some
shape or form. The membership during the year had increased by
350 yards or 80 per cent. The secretary then outlined the various

work during the past year. These include a lost and found depart-
i ment for locating debtors whose addresses are unknown; a publicity
a department furnishing articles and illustrations for the newspapers;
a bulletin department which issued 18 bulletins during the year; a
building department, furnishing plan books which were used by 60
per cent.-of the Association, 25,000 copies having been distributed
1,250 additional ones ordered, and a department for special draw-

ings

The Value of Plan Books

Le address by Mr. Geo. F. Robertson on “The Value of a Perman-
t Building Department” was one of the features of the meeting.
Robertson spoke in part as follows :—

We, as lumber dealers, have been for years feeling the necessity for a plan
d an Architectural Department, which would bring assistance within
ns of the smaller builder and meet the peculiar requirements of
farm and village. Producing plans to meet the searching climatic
and which, in style and form, would conform to good taste and
out of which would not be eg i the ability of the local mechanic
cal trades to supply.
ing my opinion on this ‘pebant plan book I wish to call your at-
he limitation of conditions which should be taken into considera-
s that there are only about thirty-five house plans in the present
about twenty farm out-buildings to meet the many different re-
the housing requirements. Thirty-five house plans cover houses
$500 to $5,000 to meet the various pocket books, in size to fit the
he childless family, or the family in numbers. In selecting house
difficulties would be simplified could we order the family to fit the
ake the pocket book fit the family.
, come to what are our particular and peculiar demands to be met
ook and here it might be helpful to state in what way the num-
oks in print do not meet our demands. Practically all such plan
to the city business, which has made up the clientele of most of
s offices in the past, and these books illustrate the narrow house
ed city lot, the small kitchen, intended to provide the work
d with the limited style of house-keeping sufficient for the city,
not quite so small, and a very large parlor or living room.
ural plans may have originally’ been intended for the locality of
architect, possibly Tennesse or California and construction
ordingly. Other objectionable features are that the carrying out
‘are unnecessarily expensive for our country business, with special
ock and other features, to make the house, especially differ-
from any other house, needlessly expensive, and making
‘beyond local mechanic as well as causing a great deal of worry

tors are daed to building. Sometimes in hurried comparison the plans may
look too expensive according to estimated cost.

As to outbuildings and barn plans, particularly barn plans, there is so
much more variety and detail to this class of planning than is the popular im-
pression. We need improvement in this class of building quite as much as
in the house building and much education is needed along the line of ventila-
tion systems.

There is variety of requirements such as barns for accommodation of dif-
ferent classes of stock, or buildings for mixed stock. There is also to be taken
into consideration the arrangements of feed passages, whether central or side
passages or a feed stall shall have preference to a passage. All have their
advocates and call for representation.

The barns represented in our plan book were planned by a practical
farmer of long experience, one who has built up a successful barn from smaller
beginnings and has taken advantage of the opportunities of learning scientific
agriculture.

Do not think that these plan books or the plan department are alone going
to get you business. They are only instrumental, a help to new business and
unless you know how to use them you will not profit very much. Believe in
them, talk about them, discuss building plans. with every prospective customer
and find out just what he is planning for and to accommodate. Then try to
post yourself in a way to advise him and get the help from the books or the
architectural department.

Centralized Advertising

Centralized Advertising was dealt with in an address by F. W.
Hess, who said :—

Slt introducing the subject of “Centralized Advertising” I am not recom-
mending it, but bringing it before you for your thought, discussion and deci-
sion, and it is entirely with you for disposal.

We all recognize the advantages and the power of advertising and spend,
each year, part of our earnings for same, and consequently wish to obtain
the best results for our efforts and the'money expended.

It is a business matter so we should have the best service and results that
yur money will buy.

Some of you advertise by novelties, such as lead pencils or carpenters
aprons, others by calendars, sent out monthly or yearly, others by posters
drawing the attention of the prospective customer to the plans, blut prints and
service you give, others by advertisements in your local newspapers, (some
well written and very attractive) which no doubt bring good results. Others,
indifferently worded and unattractive are consequently unproductive.

Most lumbermen are poor advertisers. Seldom do their advertisements
appear as live, catchy and attractive, as do those of other merchants in the
Most lumbermen are contented to merely mention the word
“Lumber” and then give their name, while other merchants advertise their
wares by displaying cuts, pertaining directly to them and their business, as
well as briefly lauding their uses and merit. Take the advertisement of a
musical dealer. He will advertise a piano by showing a piano, a Victrola. or
diamond disc by showing the machine itself, and the pleasure enioyed by
those who own one. Such an advertisement creates a desire to possess one.

: Why should not the lumberman in his advertisement show an up-to-date
home with its comforts by being built right, or that of a modern barn and
thereby draw attention to his wares and their uses.

A retail general store merchant uses display cuts of shoes, hats. coats,
clothing and of hardware, stoves, kettles, pans or hammers, which undoubtedly
must be helpful, so why should not lumbermen use display cuts of houses,
barns, shingles, fence posts, and other commodities. s

Are these desired and can they be best obtained, and can better advertise-
ments be written or suggested through a Central Advertising Department?

This is for you to consider and Secretary Neill will be pleased to explain |
what he could likely offer you, if you desire such a Bureau.”

Modern Lumber Association—Its Uses and Limits

and other allied conditions—indicated the lumber yard as the lanicst point for
local concentration and distribution.

The desire for more profits—for more volume—for increased lines’ and
larger fields—perhaps mere inertia—influenced the lumber yard manager to
stock and handle these other materials in conjunction with WOOD. |

Line after line was added, as recent inventive effort found openings; con-
stantly increasing varieties of goods came on the market and eventually to
his yard; until at last, by an easy and natural transition, he entered the second
era—that of the BUILDING MATERIAL DEALER.

From that time things moved rapidly, and the coming of the third era was
upon us. This was marked by the first offer TO site A- COMPLETED
STRUCTURE FOR A FIXED AMOUNT.

This epoch is the real dividing line between the past cond the present, for
it evidences, for the first time, the. correct understanding of the basic principle
which underlies all successful business—THE TRUE RELATIONSHIP BE-
TWEEN BUYER- AND SELLER—BETWEEN MERCHANT AND
CUSTOMER.

It put into the commercial ‘language of our industry the thought that we
must offer to the consumer—ON WHOSE PATRONAGE OUR: VERY
BUSINESS LIFE DEPENDS—NOT MERELY WHAT WE HAD TO
SELL, BUT ‘WHAT HE WANTED TO BUY.

And what he wants is NOT MERE BUILDING MATERTAL: it is a
THING MADE OF THAT MATERIAL. The building material merchant
himself—you—are the only men who buy building material AS MATERTAL.

‘In other words, we had been conducting our business under false pre- ©
tenses; we had been offering a THING when what our customer really wanted
was a SERVICE RENDERED BY THAT THING.

s He did not, for example, want a BOARD. He wanted. rather the PRO-
TECTION, in the form of a home, which the board would give him.
For thirteen years we have been trying to do as WE wanted to do. TI

have never heard a paper nor an address made at anv conference bringing up
the question of WHAT WE COULD DO FOR THE CONSUMER.

“Wood doesn’t get out of style” Sts been a BY-WORD in the industry

for many years; but “Styles change in the THINGS MADE OF WOOD,
will be the BY-WORD of the future. : ne ey
It is not especially flattering that this great basic idea should have come
to us as it did and as late as it did. But nevertheless we must accept it and
we must act on it. We must march with te ae We must recone
itions as they are, not as we would like to have them be; we mu
a OUR CUSTOMERS ARE BEGINNING TO DEMAND THAT WE
ADEQUATELY SUPPLY THEIR WANTS. ‘ ‘is é
And if we do‘not do what is demanded of us, we will be eliminated; we
will be forced out of business; and if that happens, it will not be because the
public did not WANT those services but because we did not GIVE them.,
We are ostensibly in business to perform a certain necessary part of the
scheme of distribution and that work will be done. It is merely a matter of
choice whether we decide to do it ourselves or allow it to be done by some

Bes as is the third era—the present era of the PROFESSIONAL RE-

TAIL BUILDING MATERIAL MERCHANT. :

business can adopt the name, accept the duties and properly perform them.

As Retail Building Material Merchants of the Third Era, you have three
classes of problems to solve.
Trade Problems to Solve

1. Individual questions of trade, arising in the course of your personal
business, which, in the nature of things, you, alone, can solve. ;

29. Matters affecting your business but of local importance and affecting
other men in the same line in your territory and to some extent in other
lines as well. : ;

These include such questions as local lien laws, community development,
sociability, credit arrangements, and, to some extent, transportation. Such
things belong properly to the determination of all men in a given locality,
and, for the best interests of all, should be handled by an organization of all
parties in interest. ‘ mace ;

This points to the organization of local associations, which shall assume
consideration of, and, to the extent permitted by law, action thereon. — Such
associations will benefit their priest in direct proportion to the limitation
of action to the proper subjects and to the energy and ability of their ex-
ecutives. : i :

3. General industrial methods and services affecting your business re-
gardless of location; problems that come under the universal laws of com-

merce; services that you must render and be rendered if you would retain,

much more improve, your standing in the business world. ; : :

Such services necessitate the retaining of men who are highly skilled in
their several lines of endeavor:—Traffic, Advertising, Insurance, Building,
Legal, Editorial, Architectural, etc. And all of these services, TO BE OF
THE VALUE THAT YOU REQUIRE, must be the very best obtainable in
the open market. }

For such services high wages must be paid, for they are a commodity as
is your own stock of materials. This primary question of COST places such
services beyond the reach, not only of the individual, but of the small organi-
zation with a limited membership income. :

And yet these smaller merchants are the most in need of just such ser-
vices in order that they may be better able to compete fairly with their more
powerful business rivals from a distance; and the consumer—the customer of
these small merchants—is just as much entitled to receive such services as-is
he who is located where patronage of the very large and highly equipped
merchant is practicable.

The solution of this third class of business problems indicates the forma-
tion of an organization large enough and comprehensive enough to take care
of the several contributing factors and to provide these REQUIRED SER-
VICES IN THE PROPER QUANTITY AND QUALITY.

These being recognized as the conditions, the next question is, naturally,
how to provide them,

If any industry in existence should logically work along proper plans, it
is ours; for “plans” are a requisite for the proper ultimate use of the materials
we handle.
Develop Your Community

In the planning of an Ideal Association, therefore, I shall begin at the
first of things. I shall start with the acknowledged commercial axiom that
YOU CANNOT DO BUSINESS NOR HAVE BUSINESS WITHOUT
BUSINESS. \

To have a business you must have a community which is producing or
can be made produce that business. You cannot sell even tombstones in a
dead community; and repair work and wagon trade alone will not keep your
books always in the “black.”

This indicates the necessity for assisting you to develop your community
—thereby CREATING BUSINESS. In other words it indicates the neces-
sity for a Community Development Service that will suggest ways and means
by which you can stimulate the life of your community and thereby cause an
INCREASED DEMAND FOR YOUR MATERIALS.

Such a service must be able to advise along the lines of FARM service as
wellas TOWN SERVICE. It should show the member how TO ADD HIS
TOWN TO HIS SALES FORCE, through the formation of Boys’ Clubs,
Girls’ Clubs, Commercial Bodies of all kinds. It should instruct him how
to get the farmers together as well as the townspeople. It should give him
practical instruction on How To Sell Homes, How to Sell Silos, and should
in a word, equip him to take a leading part in the development of his com
munity.

Ten main avenués, each with many details, of trade increase through com-
munity development, are described in the series of Service Bulletins published
by our Association.

Lumbermen Must Advertise

Still. if your public does not know WHO nor WHAT nor WHERE you
are nor WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM. you will not profit. You must
let them know these things—you must MAKE THEM KNOW—in a word,
you MUST ADVERTISE.

Some dealers complain that mail order houses are injuring their business.

They say that people in their territory have bills shipped in before the dealer
even knew that a building was contemplated. ;

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER :
And Why? BECAUSE THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE ADVERTISED. |

March 15, 1916

And the mail order houses’ advertising was better than yours when you did
advertise. IT HAD TO BE, for it had to counteract your reputation for
square dealing, your service, the power of your presence, your personal argu-
ment, your extension of credit, the quality of your materials;—that is, provid-
ing you had all those things. ; .

And more than this, the mail order house kept right after your customers. ~

Not for a day or a week or a month—but for years. One of the largest mail
order houses in the country said last year, by the mouth of its general man-

ager, that they often followed-up a prospect for three years, but finally landed

him. Ever do that yourself? 7

And still more; these houses keep on suggesting NEW COMFORTS, —

NEW CONVENIENCES, NEW USES FOR THEIR MATERIALS, to”

those prospects, until, by force of repetition, the prospect becomes an active ©

customer for that article. And from whom will he buy that article if not

from the people WHOSE NAME HE NATURALLY CONNECTS WITH —

THE THINGS HE WANTS?
Quite true, say- you, but you cannot afford to hire such a man; a man

capable of producing such appealing advertisements.
Exactly;—and that’s where your association comes in. ALL OF YOU

TOGETHER CAN AFFORD SUCH A MAN—SEVERAL OF HIM. a
One thousand of you together can each hire such a man at one-thousandth ~

of the price an individual would have to pay. You get the same ideas, the

same suggestions, and the only difference is that you will have to look after

working out of those ideas yourself.

One of our members put conditions into a novel statement when he said,
recently; “Your selling advice enables us to get the business BEFORE IT
REACHES THE STAGE OF COMPETITION.” And we really felt a little
more hurt than pleased with his remarks, for, in his enthusiasm over his in-
dividual benefits, the writer of that letter had missed the great, basic idea of
the Associational work. 4

We had NOT eliminated competition, as he understood the work. We
could not, for, as it happened, we were doing the very same thing, as we had
to do, for another member in the same town.

We had NOT enabled either to profit at the expense of the other; that
would indeed have had destructive ‘trade effects, and would have meant “com-
petition” as it exists today. \

What we had actually done was to point out to each one, the possibili-
ties for CREATING NEW BUSINESS AND HOW TO CREATE AND
SECURE IT; and each, following his individual trend. had moved towards the
same goal along different roads. Both had CREATED BUSINESS; neither
had taken business away from the other; of course. each “got the business
before it reached the stage of competition,” FOR THERE WAS NO COM-
PETITION AT ALL.

But now, in order to supply the demand that the Advertising and Com-
munity Development departments have helped you CREATE and SECURE.
you must get your material to your yard in time, at the lowest rates and
classifications and free from all claims from damage, shortage, ete. Or,
when such unavoidably happen, you must have those matters so adjusted as
to prevent the losses from eating up your profits.

Should Employ a Good Traffic Manager

Here is where you need a good traffic manager. And you need just as
good a traffic man as the largest firm in the country; nay; more, for losses that
would not affect them in the least would, by the very difference in your size,
mean a most important loss to you.

‘Here again the Association offers relief. The combined resources of all
of you can secure the best traffic man open for engagement. And the fact
that your Association covers such a territory and with so many shippers, gives
that traffic man a better and stronger standing with the carriers and enables
him to deliver better service to each of you.

Our traffic department has succeeded in inducing probably half of our
membership to‘use its services. A part of this number, aggregating possibly
one-third of the total membership, sent in expense bills for auditing. We col-
lected and remitted some $5,000 last year to those people, an amount which
averaged three years dues to every man using the department. And that
mony was practically picked out of the waste basket.

We have treated the carriers fairly; we aim for simple justice, not for spe-
cial favors. And asa result, we have such a standing with the carriers of our
territory that each has appointed one man whose special duty it is to attend
instantly to any matters we present to him, and to see that they are carried
to the most rapid and satisfactory conclusion. Nt he

So far, I have spoken only of the ordinary business. There is yet that
intensive cultivation that really produces the cream. The profit is made, as a
rule, not in the ordinary business, but in the construction of buildings whose
beauty, -artistry, and convenience, make those structures and those qualities
take precedence in the mind of the prospective customer over MERE PRICE.

Must Use Plan Books

THIS, of course, indicates the use of a Plan Book SYSTEM.

Naturally, in speaking of such a'service help, I think of the one now in use
in this Association, known as the Porter-Ballard Plan Book SYSTEM.

This, as you know, has been opened to legitimate retail building material
dealers outside of our own Associational territory, and, though it is only some
three years old, the SYSTEM is now in-active use in no less than thirty-one
states, and has been officially endorsed by eight retail lumber dealers associa-
tions. : a

In this SYSTEM I believe we have paved the way for perfection of dealer
service; though, of course, it is to be expected that changes of many details
will be made to meet changing conditions.

The SYSTEM is intended to be a complete SALES SYSTEM. and in-
cludes not only beautiful books of modern designs for all sorts of buildings
but itemized material lists, full directions for using the SYSTEM, advertising
helps of all sorts, and a choice of 50 sets of full sized working blue prints and
specifications, from 250 different designs; all of this being offered to the retail
merchant FOR A SINGLE PRICE.

Remember that the MEANS OF MAKING THE SALE must be just as
comprehensive as the SALE ITSELF—all elements must be covered. The
Plan Book SYSTEM therefore is intended to enable you to answer all ques-
tions and many of the arguments that may arise concerning the structure itself.
It is intended to avoid the mistake of offering just the type of houses that
PEOPLE ARE NOW BUILDING. Of course, it is necessary to in

these gesiens to meet immovable demand, but you have an educa-
ity that is paramount, and the bulk of the designs therefore are of

better to be sure than to be sorry. Remember, there is no “second best”
king a sale. It is FIRST or just an “also ran.” It is ALL or NONE.
By this time, if you have made proper use of the services provided for
you will realize that you have a business worth while, and you begin to
k of what would happen if you had a fire.

Fire Insurance for the Retailer

ire Insurance Companies there are many; but in line with a COM-
ERVICE to the individual, we, in this Association, have covered
through our own splendid Lumbermen’s Mutual Society, which,
under separate management and organization, is handled in the in-
of our members, who, alone, are eligible to secure indemnity.

niting our hazards to the one high-class type of fire risks, we can
e indemnity at the lowest possible rate; this again being an ad-
ed through association that the individual could not obtain.
also, that insurance history shows that no strictly contractural
alizing in a single hazard and with honest executives and proper
ch as obtain in our own Society, has ever failed in business, has
adjust and pay promptly and fully all losses, has ever failed to
rat a lesser rate than had been charged by (so-called) “Board”
r thereto.

When the members fail to do their duty in the matter, there should be no
blame attached to the Secretary or Manager. The conquests and triumphs ~
of Napoleon depended on the equipment, the fighting ability and the loyalty
of the single soldier standing guard on the lonely outpost.

In Iowa the citizen soldier who fails to attend the meeting of his com-
pany is sought for and conducted to the place of his duty by the sheriff. It
may be humiliating, but it is the right thing to do.

An Association, if it attempts to carry on a policy of militant effective-
Rove in the interests of its industry, must be composed of frained and willing
soldiers. :

It would be far better to send the sheriff to compel a member to attend
the annual conference of his trade association than to send the sheriff to close
up his place of business.

“But,” you will say, “now that I have all of those services my competitor
will have them too. How is that going to affect or alter competition?”

Why, bless you, if you have to ask such a question, it’s an indication that
it will not help you very much.

What is Competition?

COMPETITION!

To paraphrase Madame Roland: “Oh, Competition, how many’ business
crimes have been committed in thy name!” ;

Is it not somewhat amusing to see the wonderful attempts that have been
made to bolster up this economically unsound condition? ;

Competition has been made the theme of serious addresses and weighty
books by learned and famous economists. :

Our legislatures have passed statutes in its favor and the courts have been
biased in its behalf.

No. Let me modify that last statement. Not ALL of our judges have
been biased. One, at least, has indicated that he realized we were all work-
ing in a blind alley.

Justice Holmes, of the United States Supreme Court, in his minority
opinion in the case of Dr. Miles Medical Co. vs. Park & Sons Company, re-
ports in 220 U. S. 373, said:

“I think that we greatly exaggerate the value and importance to the pub-
lic of competition in the production or distribution of an article as fixing a
fair price. WHAT REALLY FIXES THAT IS THE COMPETITION OF
CONFLICTING DESIRES. We none of us can have as much as we want
of all the things we want. Therefore, we have to choose. As soon as the
price of something we want goes up above the point at which we are willing
Ss give up other things to buy that, we cease to buy it and buy something
else.

It may seem strange that this great lesson of modern merchandising
should have come, not from a merchant, but from a lawyer; but please re-
member that the business of that lawyer was to study business conditions so
that he might more capably interpret the law of the land.

Justice Holmes had made a thorough study of the conditions which under-
lie all business and he had the inestimable advantage of getting facts, on which
to predicate that study and his conclusions, from actual conditions and rela-
tions as.shown by the big men in business, through cases submitted for his
consideration.

And at that, how many people who read that decision, really grasped the
great big idea?

Only four little words—that was the gist of his opinion.
little words locate, define and limit modern merchandising.

“COMPETITION OF CONFLICTING DESIRES.”

Let me translate that thought of Justice Holmes’ into the phrase which,
enunciated some three years ago, has become almost a slogan for our own
Association:

“Competition of Conflicting Desires.” ;

_ “The right’ way to sell lumber is not to try to sell it at all but to do those
things which will create a demand for what you have to sell.”

Competition? Competitor? When you speak of your “competitor” just
what do you mean? ; 2

Your only competitor can be that merchant in your own industry, in your
own distribution territory, who has the same stock, the same knowledge, the
Same energy, the same financial strength, as you. If there is any difference
in any of these elements, then the balance of results will sway towards the
better equipped and true competition will become, in the vernacular, a “cinch.”

Competition is possible only on horizontal lines, just as combination
moves on vertical lines. The higher you rise in the scale, the less competition
you will have.

Let me illustrate. Successive steps in our industry, in the working out
ofa sample transaction may be represented in this matter. :

The illustration represents a town with three yards; a fairly good average
of the entire country. ?

If you are ONLY a material man,
be with OTHER MERE MATERIAL MEN.

If, however, you add to your equipment, by combination, a knowledge of
your materials and their uses, you rise above the “Material” plane of former
competition and your only competition will then come from some one equally
well equipped.

The higher you rise—the more of the necessary elements of the complete
transaction you assume to supply—the more independent you become of any
one who would supply what you lack—the smaller becomes your field of com-
petition and the greater your chances to secure the trade.

And that rise in the scale depends entirely and absolutely on each one of
you, individually. And because you do differ individually, the results will
differ; though through Associational services you can at least be assured of
an even Start. :

You will eventually differ, no matter how evenly you start; but the better

law, that relationship existed; but in these present days of legal, moral and
itical freedom, it has no place.

ef niche your right as a consumer to deal with my competitor, but
I just as firmly claim the right to offer my goods or my services to you on an

al footing with my competitor. ' ;
tee And I eepetele and emphatically deny to my competitor the right to
hazard my own good name as a fellow member of this industry by doing
something which is not legally right nor economically sound, and which will
thus reflect on ME on account of my being in the same business. _ ,

There is no force to compel anyone to enter or remain in this business.
If you do so, it is your official notice to the meee a you believe you are
better equipped to succeed there than in any other business. :

When you entered this business, you said to the world: “T will make a
better retail building material merchant than anything else. And in how
many cases will the world reply: “Well, if that’s the best you can do, thank
goodness you didn’t try something which might have affected my welfare
more,” ; :

Competition? When I see some of our present day lumber dealers—

; peddlers of plank—talking of “competition,” it makes me think of the man who

jumped from the top of his house believing an umbrella would do as well as
a parachute. You admired his nerve but you had a mighty small opinion of
his brains. ; x. : ; ;

Competition? Suppose that every retail building material merchant in this
territory would pose himself THIS question: _

“Where is the good, the value, the economic necessity, of HAVING THE
OTHER FELLOW COMPETE WITH ME?”

Imagine the several companies of a regiment fighting among themselves
to see which should attack the enemy. é ; : ‘

You don’t have to imagine several retail lumbermen in a given town
fighting each other to see which will “land the order.” You see it everywhere
—everyday—YOU ARE DOING IT YOURSELVES.

And isn’t it supremely foolish? ISN’T IT PLAIN BAD BUSINESS?
Here is a prospective customer, WHO WANTS SOMETHING YOU
HAVE FOR SALE AND WHICH YOU WANT TO SELL,

Instead of aiding that prospect to get what he wants—or as Justice
Holmes would say in his delightful way, aiding him to clarify his conflicting
desires—what do you do? :

You forget all about that prospective customer and you put your best
thought, your best ingenuity, your very reputation as a good business man, to
the task of determining, NOT HOW TO SATISFY THAT CUSTOMER
BUT HOW TO PREVENT THE OTHER FELLOW FROM DOING IT.

The business, or rather what should be called the possibilities of the re-
tail building material industry have not been more than touched. A very
small percentage of visible trade has kept the industry alive to date.

If the same energy was put into DEVELOPING THE TRADE POSSI-
BILITIES that is now being put into trying to KEEP THE OTHER FEL-
LOW FROM GETTING A SHARE OF THE VISIBLE TRADE, every
man in the industry would prosper.

And that would be but the smallest effect, for when the retail building
material merchant in a community is HONESTLY AND LEGITIMATELY
PROSPEROUS, then that community must also be prosperous; and that con-
dition of communal prosperity will necessarily re-act in turn on an INCREAS-
ING PROSPERITY FOR THE RETAIL BUILDING MATERIAL

MERCHANT.
Possibilities for Trade Extension

Developing trade! A man in Spokane was called on one morning by a
youth with a sample case. It was early fall. The agent told this man that
he had seen a notice in the local paper of the new occupancy of the house and
wanted to interest him in screens. His goods were right—his prices were
right—and the man gave the order. The screens were delivered and put in
plaeeé*on the man’s house. Now, the point of this story is that those screens

Does that indicate any POSSIBILITIES FOR TRADE EXTEN LON? |

Just think for a moment of the result if only you members of this Associa-
tion should honestly decide to become MODERN MERCHANTS, with all
that those words signify. Just think of the tremendous wave of prosperity —
that would spread over the Associational territory—over the entire country, —

And this is not a dream. It can be done. ol bas

It will take time. It has taken years of drilling to get some of these
supposedly clear conceptions of real, modern merchandising home to some |
people, but the leaven works. _

Every day I note where some one has created business where it was not
seen before. . en “a

Every day I see the old-fashioned cut-throat competition giving place to
the modern emulation. 1

And in every case the retail building material merchant has prospered _
financially. '

As Elbert Hubbard said: “I am an old man and I have had many troubles
—most of which never happened.” ee os

Competition is all right in its place, but that place is NOT where it has _
been. Compete with your own PAST BUSINESS METHODS instead of
with your PRESENT FELLOW MERCHANT, and you will find that most |
of your business troubles “never happened.” ; zs

Again, me thinks, I hear a still, small voice:— =

“That’s all very fine. But suppose someone ships into my territory or
suppose some other dreadful thing. How are those fine ideas of yours go-
ine ty stop that? HOW IS THE ASSOCIATION GOING TO PROTECT ;

Why, gentlemen, just suppose for a moment that this Association could —
do, under the law, what is asked of it in this matter—could build a Chinese
wall around each of your trade territories and “protect” you against all ;
side competition. _ What would you be willing to pay for membership and
what would it be worth? $12 a year? $100 a year? $1,000 a year and on up
and glad of the chance. io

But it cannot be done—not that way. And besides, the very idea sho ale
be repugnant to a real MAN. There is no law compelling him to be in this
business. I am in it because I feel that I can do better in this line of work

than in any other. But I can quit. And so can you. I play golf because I —
like it; but I can play tennis if I want to. es

T AM BOSS OF MY OWN ACTIONS.
No association can do this “protecting” act, but each member, or each —
individual outside of the association, can “protect” himself. You can do so

by making your services so valuable to the only power on earth which has.

THAT way is legal; THAT way is the glorious way of beating the other
fellow in a fair, honest, smiling, man-to-man fight.

To have the Ideal Trade Association, you must first of all make your-
selves individually fit and worthy to belong to such an Association.

au. must make yourselves, gentlemen, so strong in your own line of

ness that you will take your proper standing in your communities, hon-

, respected, prosperous. And then only can you make of your Association

ch a body that you will be proud to place in your windows, where all may

see, your certificate of membership.

The Inch Board

e inch board is the most important single item in the lumber
ry, and the general prevalence of the inch board together with
with which it may be obtained has led to its adoption for

that primarily called for other thicknesses, says Hardwood

boards glued together in whatever thickness is desired.
specially true in cak. In birch one may find thick stock
arms and frames more commonly than in oak, and now and
one finds the thick stock in oak, but there is enough use of inch
ds built up into thick stock to cause some wonder as to just why
uring the winter there have been calls for thick oak, which have
t out the fact that as a rule there is a very limited quantity
ick oak made, the greatest percentage being inch boards. Buyers
ine wagon and implement stock have cleared up in some of the
rdwood lumber centers such items as 2%, 3, 3% inch oak plank,
while this created a little flurry in the lumber situation, it is
ind after a thorough investigation that demand that would clean
Il of such thick oak would really take up only a small percentage
‘the oak lumber stock on hand.

The inch board is a much more important item in the lumber trade
than it was ten or twenty-five years ago. In the days gone
re were periods when inch oak was made only in limited
‘ties and most of the accumulation came from siding and from
in gs to specific dimensions. In the earlier days many of

the boards were made two inches thick and three inches and a fair
percentage 214, 3% and 4. Today when one compares the total of
thick planks with the lumber cut, the item is rather insignificant.

There are several explanations for this change in lumber stock
dimensions and for the general prevalence of the inch board. There
is not so much call for thick oak as formerly. Thick oak was used
for all kind of tanks, tubs, hogsheads and vat work much more ex-
tensively than it is today. When this call was general nearly every
oak mill cut much of its best stock into thick oak planks, and a fair
percentage of the common stock into two inch oak and even a fair
share of three inch oak for bridges and railroad crossing planks.

Today the best demand for high-grade thick oak is for flitches
to be made into quartered veneer. Naturally the man who has good
stock for thick oak is inclined to reduce it to quartered flitches and
market it green to some veneer mill, or put in a veneer saw and work
it up himself. This demand consumes much oak that originally went
into thick planks. Meantime the market for thick oak has been so
erratic and uncertain from year to year that some millmen- have
become afraid of it. At certain periods in the past those who have
had a stock of thick oak at the right time have made a sort of killing
with it, but this happens only once in a while and between times it is
often found expensive to carry. The result is that people turn more
to inch oak and today the inch board is easily the biggest thing in the
oak lumber market.

Whether the inch board should continue in this prominence or
whether other thickness should be used is a question that needs
serious attention on the part of the lumber fraternity. This question
may take in many other hardwoods than oak. The inch board has
become such a habit in all lines of hardwood that when there is a
slow period and an accumulation of stock it is always found that the
biggest part of this burden is in inch boards.

It is time for the lumber manufacturing fraternity to make a
careful study of the consumption of lumber in the various lines of
importance to the end that there may be obtained some guiding light
as to the comparative quantity which should be made in inch boards
and in other thicknesses. Now and then we see evidence of a need
for various other thicknesses which give a hint that profit might
accrue from a more careful study of the needs of the country.

The inch board is an easy thing to make and it is so standardized
that it is sure of a market at some price some time or other. This
is easily the explanation of why we have so many inch boards, but
it is not a good enough reason in this age of analytical study and
specializing. | The first advance scored in the lumber market the past
fall was in 5/4 and 6/4 gum boards, not inch boards. The box fac-
tory trade needed boards for resawing that were a little thicker than
the regular inch stock, and those who had been thoughtful and fore-
handed and had cut a fair percentage of 5/4 and 6/4 boards found the
first and best market, and even today where there is a demand for this
thickness it generally carries with it a better price comparatively than
is offered for’inch boards.

An arrangement has been made between the B. C. Electric Rail-
way and the Transcontinental Railway which will give lumber and
shingle mills in the Fraser Valley the same out-going freight rates
on forest products as are enjoyed by mills at Vancouver. It is under
stood also that the Canadian Northern Railway is a party to the agree-
ment. Hitherto Fraser Valley mills have paid an arbitrary rate over
and above the terminal rates charged to mills at Coast points such as
Vancouver. This arbitrary rate, in the case of Fraser Valley forest
products, was from 114 to 2 cents above the straight Vancouver term-
inal rate. On a car of average capacity the extra cost thus figured
out at from $6 to $12. The reduction applies to all mills connected
with the Transcontinental by the B. C. E. R. and its subsidiaries, ex-
tending from Steveston east as far as Chilliwack, but is confined at
present to shipments consigned to eastern Canadian points. It is ex-
pected that a similar reduction will be arranged on shipments to
Eastern United States points, in the near future. The understanding
is that steam lines concerned will absorb the arbitrary rate, themselves
paying the cost of hauling over the B. C. E. R. to their nearest con-
necting lines. This concession will enable Fraser Valley mills to
compete with Vancouver mills on a basis of quality.

Summing Up Business Progress

Are you sure that you are, at all times, in possession of sufficient
accurate and detailed information regarding the inner workings of
your business to allow of your knowing exactly where you are at?

Do you know positively whether or not your business is in better
shape this year than it was last? Are you sure you are a better
Jumberman now than you were two years ago; a better one two yearg
ago than you were three years before that?

Or are you only guessing when you say to yourself that the condi-
tions surrounding your own particular business are better or worse
than they used to be? Are you taking too much for granted when
you assure yourself that you are a better man than you were formerly?

Are you judging your business and yourself almost solely by the
fact that your bank account is larger at the close of each succeeding
year, and finding it substantially so, are you allowing yourself to be
content with the knowledge of that fact instead of setting to work to
find out just why it is so?

Or, perhaps your business is one of the other kind. Perhaps
you find that, in spite of you. most diligent efforts; in spite of the fact
that you are working and worrying yourself ill, your business shows
little or no profit at the close of the year, or showing a profit you find
it is each successive year a decreasing one. Perhaps, realizing this,
you have about made up your mind that the retail lumber business is
not what it formerly was, and that you would perhaps be better off

_ out of it.

If you are one of the latter, are you positive that it is the business
and not yourself that is at fault? Are you positive that you are cor-
rect in your surmise that the business has “gone to pot?” Are you
sure that under your present system of doing business, you know
exactly what the conditions obtaining in your business are? Are you
sure that you are in possession of sufficient accurate information re-
garding your business to allow you to formulate an intelligent opinion
regarding same?

In either case, whether your business is or is not fulfilling your
ideas of a proper profit-maker, you of course feel that you are not
overlooking anything.
have you sufficient grounds to warrant the stand you are taking?

How Much Have You Advanced?

In the matter of your being at the present time a better lumber-
man than you were a few years ago, undoubtedly you are so, but are
you enough better? You were bound to improve with added exper-
ience. Have you improved as greatly as you should have? Has your
progress been as marked as that of your competitor?

Figures, properly handled, do not lie; improperly handled, they do
lie, and notoriously. That they do so, however, is not their fault.
They are made to do so. And they are made to do so by the mental
processes of those very ones for whose benefit they were intended.
And nine times out of ten, they are made to do so because of the fact
that they are not, of themselves sufficiently complete to enable their
owner to attribute to them their true value. They are so incomplete
that they lend themselves naturally and readily to that warping and

_ distortion which eventually results in the drawing of entirely erron-

eT oe

eous conclusions.

To express it in another way: Too few figures are almost as bad
as none at all; in fact, they are sometimes worse.

Figures regarding your particular business can be made to answer
the double purpose of enabling you to determine what, if anything, is
the matter with your business and to establish the fact, beyond a doubt,
as to whether or not you are a better man than formerly. But to do
so they must be complete. They must cover every phase of your
business.

And they must cover the same points, in the same manner, year
after year. For, bear in mind the fact that such figures become in-
creasingly valuable each successive year. For they afford compari-
sons, and by comparisons everything in your business should be re-
gulated.

What About Ledger Accounts

To start with, how about the accounts in your general ledger
which have to do with all the expenses incident to the handling of
your business? Are you sure that you have enough of them? In the
matter of salaries and labor, have you these items so divided that you
can place your finger immediately upon a sudden increase in any de-
partment? Do you know, at all times, what it is costing you to run
the office end of your business? Do you know whether or not the
amount paid in salaries, to those upon your monthly or yearly pay
roll, is responsible for the increase or decrease in your pay roll, or
whether the amount of day labor hired for the yard end of your busi-
ness is responsible for such increase or decrease?

Do you keep your stationery account separate from the other in-
cidental expenses of your business, so that you may at a glance know
whether or not yourself or your force have contracted extravagant
habits regarding the use of this article?

“¢

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

It is but natural that you should feel so. But’

: y ae
March 15, 1916

Do you keep a separate account to which all expense incident to
the unloading of incoming stock is entered? This should be done
and the total taken from the ledger at the end of each year, and ¢ ¥
vided by the total of board feet unloaded into the yard during rhe
period. . When this is done, it is possible to arrive at the unloading
cost per thousand, and so compare with that of the previous year
a view to determining whether or not it is becoming excessive. A

If you make deliveries about town, how about your teaming ex-
pense? Do you keep this in a separate account? If so, there should
be included in this account all items of expense incident to the main-
tenance of teams, wagons, harness, or, if such are used, of automobil
trucks. All monies expended for hay and fodder together with
teamsters’ salaries should be included in this account. At the clos
of the year this should also be figured on a per thousand basis.

How Much Does It Cost?

Is your labor account in such shape that you can figure out: th
total cost of the labor incident to the handling of your lumber on
per thousand basis, after you have closed your books for the year a
not, it should be so kept as this item is one of the largest individua
ma, entering into the cost of doing business at the average
yard. >

_ Do you post all amounts expended for maintenance and w
of your yard, including repairs, etc., to a separate account? —S™”

__ If your heating bill is of such a size as to merit serious co
tion, do you keep it in such a manner that you can readily de
whether or not it is increasing.

Your insurance and taxes may be included in one accoun
much as these necessitate the making of but few entries during
ai ce year, and the vouchers therefor are at all times readily av
able. ve eel ‘

__ Do you keep a record of all donations made, in such a manner as
will allow you to determine whether or not this expense is fast be-
coming a burden? pl Od

If you rent property, year after year, instead of owning, the rer al
may be included under the same account with your ward maintenance, —
inasmuch as it is usually a fixed lump sum and can be readily separated
if so desired. - sh, Ee

Do you charge depreciation upon both plant and personal prop-
erty against your gross profits at the end of each year? This is im-_
portant and just as correctly a charge against your business as are _
your other expenditures. ee

Are you charging against your gross profits for any one year in-—
terest at the going rate upon all capital, either owned or borrowed, |
which you may be using in your business? This should be done in--
asmuch as it is a perfectly legitimate charge and because of the fact
that your failure to do so might lead you to believe that you are |
actually making money when you are in fact losing. ae

The number of general ledger accounts necessary for the proper
handling of your business, will of course vary according to the manner ~
of business you are doing. To attempt to stipulate just how many
and how they should be kept so as to cover all the varying conditions _
incident to different yards, is of course an impossibility. A very good —
rule to be guided by, however, is that you should have your operating
expenses posted to enough different accounts in your general ledger,
so that the amount of each item of expense can be readily arrived at. __

How About Your Stock Account? -

Passing from the matter of your general ledger accounts to that _
of your stock, do you keep a piece tally in connection with your busi- _
ness, so that you may know at all times exactly how many pieces of _
each item of stock you have on hand, what your purchases of each —
item during a certain period of time have been, and what your sales
of each have been? Personally, the writer believes that a piece tally,
should be kept in connection with every well regulated lumber busi- _
ness. Having this at hand, you are able at all times to judge ac- _
curately of the condition of your stock, and to compare the quantities —
on hand of each item with those of any other month during the hs
ing year or with any other month of previous years. This affords —
you an opportunity of knowing very quickly as to whether or not the —
stock you apparently find it necessary to carry in the conduct of your _
business is increasing. Being able to determine this, quickly and —
accurately, you are in a position to set about to find a remedy for ex- _
isting conditions in this department of your business. As an aid to _
buying the piece tally is most desirable. : cet

Do you make a practice of figuring up the average value of your —
lumber stock per thousand at the close of each year’s business? Also —
of arriving at an average value for your other items, such as doors,
windows, etc? This information is valuable chiefly in a general way
and should be used for comparison with values of previous years; in
order that it may fully serve its purpose, it should be worked into a —
comparative statement. ‘ . _

Do you keep an accurate record of sales of different items of your

os ae
s- ‘

March 15, 1916

stock? You of course keep your lumber sales separate from all oth-
ers, so that you may determine at a glance what percentage of your
total business is lumber. But how about lath, shingles, posts, lime,
cement, plaster, windows, doors and millwork? Mill work may all be
included in one account, but the others should all be kept separate
and the percentage the sales of each bear to the total for the year,
should be figured out at the close of the year’s business. An average
selling price per thousand should also be figured out on your lumber
and an average price upon all other items.

How about your side lines and the substitutes for lumber that
you may be handling? Do you keep an accurate record of your sales
of each of these? This must be done in order that you may pro rate
your costs of doing business.
wy, Separate purchase ‘accounts should also be kept for each of the
items mentioned above. Thus having separate purchase accounts
and your separate sales accounts and having your inventory at the
close of the year you are in a position to figure your gross profit upon

ach without a great deal of difficulty. Having done this, be very

“sure that you pro rate all your expenses, and charge its proper share
neainst each one of the items. By doing this you know at a glance
which has made you the most money and which, if any, are losing
you money. Do not attempt to make your lumber carry more than
its just share of the expense. If you find that it is necessary to do
this in order that you may delude yourself into the belief that certain
, items are making you money when in reality they are not, keep away
fromit. Either make these items show a profit, after carrying their
just share of expense, or discontinue the handling of them.
e Do you keep an accurate record of all sales, month by month of
each year, and work this into comparative statements, employing sim-
ilar data from the preceding years? By doing this you are able to
tell at a glance what, if anything, is wrong with your volume of busi-
ness.
Do you keep an accurate record of your, outstanding accounts and
bills receivable at the close of each month’s business, figuring the per-
centage these bear to your total sales for the year and then compare
the results with similar information obtained from your records of
other years? This is important if you are to know how you stand
upon the credit end of your business.
Do you figure your percentage of expense based upon the volume
of business done at the close of each month, and compare it with sim-
ilar percentages of previous months? This is of course most im-
portant. Having your different items of expense in such shape that
they are readily available at the close of the year’s business you are
in a position to figure each of them out upon a per thousand basis,
after deducting a proportionate amount for items other than lumber.
Thus you are able to figure exactly what it is costing you to merchan-
_dise your lumber and how this cost is apportioned. Any serious
fluctuations as compared with previous years can thus be readily seen
and steps taken to remedy any adverse conditions.

Considerable of what has been said may appear to many of you
to entail the employment of much useless red tape. Such, however,
is not the case. In order to conduct a retail lumber yard success-
fully in the future it will be necessary to do all the things mentioned

and many more. And the sooner those of us who are handling a
yard get into the habit of doing these things, the easier it will be when
the time really arrives when not to do so will spell failure.

Briquetting of Sawdust on a Commercial Basis
By R Thelen, Forest Products Labratory, Madison, Wis.

The utilization of waste sawdust, chips and shavings in the manu-
facture of the artificial fuel commonly known as sawdust briquets has
been carried out on a small scale in several European countries for a
number of years, but it has been only recently that this induStry has
gained a foothold in America. There are now at least three concerns
upon the Pacific coast engaged in the manufacture of sawdust bri-
quetting machinery, and at least three plants for the manufacture of
this fuel have been-established there.

In genera], the sawdust briquet is made by compressing pre-
viously dried sawdust or shredded wood in a heavy press, the hard-
ness of the briquet depending upon the process used and upon the
pressure applied.

In some systems, especially those intended to operate upon the
sawdust of resinous woods, the resinous material in the sawdust
serves as a binder to hold the briquet together, and a very heavy pres-
sure produces a very firm and hard briquet. In other systems, some
sort of binder is mixed with the sawdust before compressing, this
binder often being coal-tar pitch, petroleum refuse, or waste liquors
resulting from the manufacture of paper pulp by the sulphite process.
Still other systems rely entirely upon mechanical binders; one com-
pany uses a wire tie which encircles the briquet, and another uses a
tarred jute cord which runs throughout the length of the briquet.

The preliminary drying of the sawdust is a very necessary ‘step,
since it is practically impossible to make wet sawdust cohere properly,
and the problem of drying has been a stumbling block of serious pro-
portions in more than one installation. The actual drying of small
quantities of sawdust is a very simple matter, but it has been the
design of a mechanism for the continuous drying of large quantities
which has presented the difficulties. Either live or exhaust steam is
used almost exclusively in the drying operations, the sawdust passing
over steam heated plates of floors being carried along in a stream of
air which has been heated by forcing it through steam-heated coils or
pipe or in some similar manner. If a binder is to be added to the
sawdust, this is usually mechanically mixed in just before the final
heating takes place, the mixture being fed into the machine through
steam-heated hoppers and pipes.

Operation of Different Machines Similar in Principle
Although the various presses differ greatly in the details of their
construction, most of them work on the cylinder and plinger principle,

- the plunger being driven by means of crank and connecting rod or by

some toggle joint system of levers so designed that it is capable of ex-
erting a very great pressure at the end of the stroke. Practically all
of them, also, are automatically fed, the only attention required being
to provide a supply of raw materials and to attend to the power re-
moval of the finished briquets. In systems in which binders such as
pitch are used, and in those in which the resins of the wood serve as
binders, it is necessary to provide a long cooling trough for the finished
briquets. These troughs are sometimes as much as 150 feet in
length. In systems using mechanical binders these cooling troughs
are unnecessary.

Practically all of the European machines use some kind of binder
mixed with the sawdust or rely upon the resinous material in the

‘wood to hold the briquet together, but American and Canadian inven-

tors have apparently preferred the mechanical binders.

One company in Los Angeles, which seems to have reached a ~
satisfactory solution of the difficulties encountered, is now building
machines for the manufacture of briquets of the wire-bound type, and
a company in Vancouver is perfecting machines for making the rope-
core type. As far as can be ascertained, both of these types give
promise of satisfactory service under conditions of continuous opera-
tion. Another Vancouver company is manufacturing machines for
the production of briquets composed of sawdust, coal dust and binder
in about the following proportions: sawdust, 65 per cent., coal dust 25
per cent., binder (coal-tar pitch, petroleum refuse or sulphite waste
liquor) 10 per cent. These briquets are hard and firm and resemble*
coal briquets in general appearance.

Fuel Value and Burning Qualities of Briquets

There seems to be a wide range of opinions concerning the fuel
value and burning qualities of sawdust briquets, some ardent enthus-
iasts claiming all the virtues for them, and other, cynical pessimists
declaring them quite unfit for many purposes. Certain German-
made briquets are reported as unsuited for use in the tight porcelain
stoves so common in that country, on account of the rapid combus-
tion. Rapidity of combustion is also claimed to be a distinct disad-
vantage in places where it is desired to bank a fire over night.

It seems reasonable to suppose that the more loosely formed bri-
quets will burn more rapidly than those formed under greater pres-
sure or with firmer binding material; and it is believed that it may be
possible to regulate the speed of combustion to a certain extent by
varying the conditions under which the briquets are made. It is

_competition.

40 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

pointed out by one of the manufacturers of briquetting machinery that
briquettes made by his machines can be used for kindling wood by
breaking the the binder. This bears out the deduction just drawn,
since kindling must make a quick, hot fire to be satisfactory.

The fact remains, however, that, notwithstanding the failure of
a number of German and French wood briquetting plants, there are
certain conditions under which the industry flourishes, and it should
not be very difficult to find out, in a general way, what those condi-
tions are.

Before analyzing outside conditions which may have a bearing
upon the success or failure of a briquetting plant it will be well to look
at the briquet itself for a moment, and study its fuel value.

It seems rather peculiar that it has been found necessary hereto-
fore to lay especial emphasis on the fuel value of briquets. It is quite
logical to suppose that since, except for the binder, the briquet is
merely wood, one pound of briquet should have as many heat units
stored up in it as one pound of the same species of wood has, moisture
conditions being equal. Asa matter of fact, the meager data at hand
uphold this view perfectly. Another peculiar thing about wood,
which is borne out by tests made by the Forest Products Laboratory,
is that, neglecting the heat value of the resins which appear abund-
antly in various species, a pound of absolutely dry wood has a very
nearly constant fuel value (heat units) irrespective of the species of
the wood.

We are led to believe, therefore, that in general a pound of wood
briquet, irrespective of species, will have a nearly constant fuel value.
The fuel value of dry wood is about, in round figures, 6,000 or 7,000
British thermal units per pound, and we would expect a pound of dry
briquet to have about the same; probably a little higher, if anything,
on account of the heat value of the organic binder (if one is used),
which may have a greater unit heat value than the wood, thus raising
the average slightly. If the resins in the wood are used as binders
the same result may be expected on account of the higher heat value
of the resins.

In comparing briquets with cordwood or stove wood it must be
remembered that the briquet it usually much the dryer, and that,
therefore, it will generate more heat per pound of material than the
wood. :
Necessary Conditions for Successful Sale

Having an insight into some of the properties of the briquet it-
self, we can understand more rapidly why certain conditions are needed
for its successful sale.

In the first place, the fuel value per pound is much less for wood
than for coal, so that to obtain the same amount of heat much more
wood (dry) than coal must be used. If the wood is green instead of
dry, still more must be used, because all the water in the wood is use-
less from a heating standpoint, and some of the heat of the wood is
used up in converting this water to steam during combustion.

This means that if one is buying primarily on a heat unit basis he
can afford to pay much more for coal than for wood or wood briquets,
usually from one and a half to two times as much for coal as for wood
when both are dry. If the wood is green, it is quite possible that the
coal will have three or four times the effective heating value of the
wood.

If the kindling properties of the briquet are of value, as in dom-
estic use, the price obtainable will be proportionately higher.

In the second place, the cost of manufacturing briquets is not in-
considerable, conservative estimates placing the figure at not less than
$3 a ton.

In the third place, the bulk of the fuel prevents its economical
shipment over long hauls. This applies to the finished briquet and
to the raw sawdust alike.

It is believed that the ultimate consumer will have to pay at
least $6 a ton for the briquets to make the success of their manufac-
ture assured, and on that basis it can be figured out with ease, under
normal conditions, what the minimum price of coal must be to allow
Assume, for convenience, that the coal under consid-
eration is bituminous, or one and one-half times the heat value of the
briquet. Then, that coal must sell for at least $9 a ton before the
briquet at $6 can offer the same heat value for the same price.

The main market for briquets will probably be for domestic use,
so the cleanliness and easy kindling qualities of the briquet will be a
fine asset, and it might be able to compete with the coal at only $8.50
a ton, the housewife being willing to pay a little more for the same
heat value on account of other desirable properties.

In competing with cordwood the briquet has certain advantages,
such as less labor in preparing for the fire, less moisture, hence more
wood per pound, and less need for kindling wood. The almost total
absence of ash and the absolute absence of slinker are great advant-
ages in favor of briquet or wood over coal, and the lack of smoke is
also pointed out as an advantage.

In conclusion, it may be stated that the best chances for the suc-
cess of the wood or sawdust briquet are in those regions where saw-

The Prime Factor in High Speed Planer Work ~

F the “man with the wrench”—should be asked to point his greasy
finger to the prime factor in modern high speed planer work, he
would, in all probability point to the little automatic grinder as it
smoothly glides back and forth across the machine removing th

accumulated heel, and other things that have no business there—do
ing its work quickly and accurately, writes M. C. Cartrell in Berli
Quality. Changing knives has, from the day of the planer’s birtl
been a piece of work always dreaded, and too often, avoided by th
planerman and his helper. It makes little difference how much tin
we have to “burn,” that particular work is nothing short of drudge
to us. But when things are humming and everything keyed to
high pitch, and a set of knives must be changed, it gets on ones nery
and it matters little how long they have been on. The point «
asperation comes, however, when a set of four or six knives, a
case may be, has been put on, jointed, and run an hour or maybe
or three hours, and a nick develops that cannot be taken out it
whetstone—and in hard knives it does not take much of a nick

_ Now when there is not a grinder at hand with which to
this nick without removing the knife, it means a change all round.
this time, noise is charitable. It drowns from human ears, the -
we say, and may the good Lord forgive us for the things we _
think. Really, it tries ones soul. Round and round that head
must go, loosening caps or gibs, placing and gaugeing fresh kn:
then round after round again, tightening, tightening, next jointing,
and guageing the stock for thickness. | With the grinder, it is put into
commission and in a very few minutes, the knife is made “good as
new.” A light jointing follows, and the machine is again at work
in less time than the set can be removed. Sols ee

This is but a single instance of the value of the automatic grinder.
When putting in a fresh set of knives, give them the maximum pro-
jection. As often as “heel” accumulates to about one thirty-second-
of an inch, remove it by grinding, which is equivalent to a fresh set of —
knives. Repeat the operation until the knives are worn to the mini- —
mum before changing. This will probably be equal to re-knifing ten _
or more times. The time lost in grinding without removing the cut- —
ters from the head will hardly require more than twenty per cent. of —
Moreover, it can always be
arranged when changing times do come, to make it after working
hours, or if not convenient to do it in that way, to take advantage of a
“slack” hour with that particular machine, and when other work is not.
crowding our time. a ae

I mentioned that changing knives was too often put off too long.
‘There is a greater reason for it than a mere dislike for the work. It ©
is because of a loss of time. In the modern planing mill everything
goes at a hair-raising gait, and many times the quality of the work is ~
sacrificed for the saving of time. Could the knives be sharpened in —
a few minutes, they would get it, but the loss of an hour is too much, —
and the job is postponed to the limit. The heel gets heavy, the grain —
is raised and torn, and many pieces must be trimmed out that would ~
have passed O. K. under sharp cutters. Time is money, and a high ~
grade product is more money. And when a high grade machine is —
purchased, one capable of producing maximum results in both quan-
tity and quality, why hinder it in its work by leaving off an attach-
ment costing but a few dollars? Py a

Aside from the question of time, the grinding by the automatic —
is, in itself more desirable than by the large grinders used when the —
cutters are off of the machine. The small wheel used, more heavily —
concaves the back of the knife than the larger wheel and the more
concave, the less rapidly the heel accumulates, allowing more jointing
down without grinding. ¥ ha ee

Another trouble is that in placing the knives on the head, they
are very apt to be uneven to the extent that one or more of them will —
be jointed more heavily than the rest—particularly at one end. And —
when one knife becomes heavily jointed, it spoils the work of the en-
tire set. With the grinder, this is entirely overcome, as the knives —
may be “touched” up in a few minutes after jointing, and from that —
time on to the change, are kept perfectly uniform. 7 aa

In short, this grinder is a tool that cannot be profitably dispensed
with and at the best interests of a concern are not taken into account
when machines are installed on which it cannot be used. . 1

A despatch from Fredericton, N. B., states that the U. S. demand —
for New Brunswick lumber has improved during the past few weeks
on account of wide-spread industrial activity following war orders —
from Europe. Reports from Great Britain are also to the effect that
lumber market conditions continue to improve. ; 2

St. John and Miramichi Operations

St. John, N. B., March 4th :—Reports received from a number of
prominent N. B. operators indicate that the lumber cut in New Bruns-
wick during the present winter will be much larger than was outlined
in earlier announcements. It is expected that the output on the New
Brunswick Railway Company’s lines will be about 65,000,000 feet,
which is about the same quantity as that of last year. Practically all
the companies on the Miramichi, with the exception of the Miramichi
Lumber Company are taking out more than they originally intended.

The Miramichi Lumber Company and the Dalhousie Lumber Com-
___ pany are only taking out about one half the quantity they took out last
year. Operating conditions along the north shore have been good,
, ‘and at present market conditions are favorable.
___—‘*raser Ltd., Fredericton, N. B., are taking out about their usual
quantity, for their various mills and will have sufficient stocks to keep
all their plants going steadily throughout the season. In the neigh-
borhood of Fredericton, the cut on Crown lands will be quite as large
as it was last year. The same is the case in connection with opera-
tions generally along the St. John, in York, Carleton, and the lower
end of Victoria counties.

On the Upper St. John and Allegash waters, the operating condi-

_ tions Wave been favorable. There has been plenty of snow all winter
and the weather has been cold and Settled. The total cut in the

Upper St. John and Allegash districts is expected to be about 53,000,000

feet, one million of which will be cedar. Much of this will be manu-
factured at Van Buren, Me., by the St. John Lumber Company, whose
cut is about 32,000,000 feet. Of this 32,000,000 feet, about 19,500,000
~ feet will go down the St. John to Stetson Cutler Company at St. John.

The individual outputs of various operators on the Upper St.
John and Allegash, according to the latest information received are as
follows :—

On the Upper St. John river waters:

' John A. Morrison of Fredericton, N.,B., 9,000,000 for the St. John
Lumber Co., Van Buren. ‘

Flavien Chouinard at St. Pamphile, P. Q., 6,000,000 for the St.
John Lumber Co., at Van Buren. ;

Coseneoun, N. B.
Albert M. Currier of Seven Islands, 4,000,000 for Stetson, Cutler

& Co., of St. John.
Naviarre Pelletier of St. Francis, 500,000 for Stetson, Cutler &

Co., of St. John.
On the Upper Allagash Waters: ;
Robert J. Potts of Hartland, N. B., 7,000,000 for St. John Lumber

Co., at Van Buren. ;
Joseph T. Michaud of Houlton, 8,000,000 for St. John Lumber Co.,

at Van Buren.

Charles E. Jones of St. Francis, 2,000,000 feet for St. John Lum--

ber Co., at Van Buren. :
W. HH. Canliffe’s Sons of Fort Kent, 10,000,000 for Stetson, Cutler

& Co., of St. John. is i
Aside from the figures already given Charles E. Jones will cut
~_ between 500,000 and 600,000 feet of cedar; J. W. Wheelock, 300,000
feet, and W. R. Wheelock 300.000 feet, all of which is for manufacture
inthe mills at St. Francis. These are all St- Francis men.
i In the southern part of the province of New Brunswick the cut is
about 60 or 65 per cent. of what it was a year ago. The curtailment
in most cases has been voluntary, not the result of poor weather con-
ditions. The chief reason for the reduction is the excessive cost of
transportation by water to Great Britain and Europe.

Waste in Lumber Business

Waste in the logging industry in the United States amounts to
fifteen to twenty per cent. of the timber cut, or about a billion and a
half cubic feet of wood annually. Sawmill waste also amounts to
several billion cubic feet of wood, although not all of it is absolute
waste. <A bulletin on the subject of lumber by-products just issued
by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, makes the claim
i only 320-feet of lumber is used for each 1,000 feet that stood in the
orest.

It was the prodigious waste of American forest resources that led
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce to plan a thorough
study of the methods of utilizing the waste products of the lumber
industry in the United States and in those European countries that
made the most distinct progress in this line. In the older and more
thickly settled countries of the old world necessity led to a careful

- utilization of the forests many years before the subject was seriously

discussed in this country. And in these older countries many meth-
ods have been worked out that should be of value in this country now
that the old-time wasteful methods have been brought into disrepute.
The plan was to have the American industry profit as much as pos-
sible by the hard-earned experience of the old countries.

Unfortunately the war upset the plan completely, and there is no
immediate prospect of making the proposed investigation. But as
the bureau had already engaged H. K. Benson, it was decided to go
ahead and make a study of the industry in the United States. The
bulletin just issued is the result of this study. It gives a definite idea
of how far the manufacture of lumber by-products has been developed
in this country, how far it may reasonably be expected to develop in
the future, and just what some of the problems are that confront the
industry.

There is a complete review of the wood-distillation industries. the
wnanufacture of tannin extract, the manufacture of the various kinds of
wood pulp used in the paper industry, the production of ethyl alcohol
from sawdust, the manufacture of producer gas, and a number of
other minor products. The extent to which these industries are car-
ried on is outlined, and in cases where an industry is not prospering
a discussion of the causes for such a condition is given. Import and
export statistics are included when available.

The annual production of wood pulp in the United States is
valued at over $80.000000. Sulphite-pulp makers are considerably
interested in the possible utilization of the sulphite waste liquor for
the recovery of sulphur or other profitable utilization. This would re-
sult in a lowering of the cost of sulphite pulp. The manufacture of
kraft pulp is also becoming well established, and is bringing about the
utilization of cheaper wood.

The utilization of wood for the minor processes described in this
report is not extensive. The manufacture of alcohol from sawdust
has hardly passed the experimental stage, although technical men are
optimistic as to the ultimate success of the process. One of the most
interesting possibilities lies in the use of hydrolyzed sawdust as a
carbohydrate cattle food... The use of wood for producer gas de-
serves more extended introduction in industrial plants. The manu-
facture of plastics from wood is still enveloped in secrecy, and, like
the manufacture of wood flour, has apparently been developed to a
much greater extent in European countries.

The new bulletin is entitled “By-Products of the Lumber Indus-
try,” Special Agents Series No. 110.

Arkansas Soft Pine Interests Appoint a Special Salesman That these manufacturers made a wise choice in Mr. Smith is
at Chicago evidenced by his successful career as a lumber salesman. Moreover,

he is a veteran in the field and knows every detail of the lumber busi-
ness from the felling of the tree to the installation of the finished
product.

In 1880, after completing his education, Joe H. Smith joined his —
father in the retail lumber business which the latter had established
at Mackinaw, and soon became a full partner. He had 12 years ex-
perience’ there and then travelled for several years, selling Northern
White Pine and Yellow Pine. Sixteen years ago he became repre-
sentative for the Crossett interests exclusively, with headquarters at
Bloomington, where he has since remained.

Twelve years ago, Mr. Smith took his two sons, Clarence E., and
Elmo S., into partnership under the firm name of Joe H. Smith and
Sons. Some time after this, the sons transferred their headquarters
to Peoria, Ill., where they are now, among the substantial fixtures of
the lumber fraternity, under the business title of Smith Brothers. Mr.
Smith’s new arrangement will have no effect upon the business of
Smith Brothers, nor will his work in Chicago in any way conflict with
that of the individual representatives of the various concerns partici-
pating in the plan.

Saws Make Their Debut in Vaudeville

At a recent theatre party given by the Atkins Pioneers at the main Atkins Factory in
Indianapolis, Ind., a new and novel act was presented by two young men from the factory.
The first performance consisted of the very clever manipulation of a large shingle saw by
Mr. Albert Copsey of the circular saw dept.

Mr. Copsey’s performance consisted of rolling the circular saw and putting it through
all kinds of contortions, sending it about the stage in large circles and then forming a figure
eight, double eight, and spinning the saw like a top. His performance concluded with a
most remarkable manipulation of the saw, wherein it was made to revolve on its circum-
ference, gradually coming nearer and nearer to the floor, and then by manipulating the saw
first with his foot and then his hand, the saw was ‘made to stand upright again without
~ moving from one spot.

Mr. Phillip Halskamp manipulated
band saws in a manner to bring forth round
and round of applause. He handled dif-
ferent sizes of saws, placing them in all
conceivable shapes, forming single, double
and triple coils, rolling the saws in coils
without touching them with his hands and
finally throwing the saws over his head
with a twist which threw them into a coil,
dropping down over his body on to the
floor.

The act was of such a startling nature
that we understand both of these young
men have had very flattering offers from
managers of vaudeville circuits.

Mr. John Ostrom, a prominent citizen of
Pembroke, Ont., well known to Ottawa
Valley lumbermen, was instantly killed on
March 10th by a C. P. R. train at a crossing.
Mr. Ostrom was driving a team of horses at
the time and both he and his horses were
killed. The late Mr. Ostrom was 65 years
of age and had been engaged in the lumber-
ing business in partnership with the late
Robert Booth.

Lumber Case Dismissed

An action brought by the New Ladysmith Lumber Company
against the Esquimalt ond Nanaimo Railway and the Canadian Pa-
cific Railway for damages for the alleged non-delivery of a car of lum-
ber shipped over their lines, consigned to Edmonton, has been dis-
missed by Mr- Justice Clement, his lordship expressing the opinion
that the onus of proof rested with the plaintiffs and that they had
failed to make out a case against the defendants. The plaintiffs will
probably appeal against his lordship’s decision.

Saskatchewan Companies Doing Well

Reports from the leading lumber manufacturing companies in
Saskatchewan refer optimistically to the immediate future, which,
compared with last spring, shows a decided promise. The Prince Al-
bert Lumber company during the winter have employed altogether
15,000 hands and between 600 and 700 teams of horses. Apart from
the payroll, the provisioning of this small army creates an industry in
itself. Enquiries show that the logging camps which are located in
the Shoal-Creek and Stump Lake districts, are likely to break up at
any time now, in any case by the beginning of next month, the com-
pany having already secured a full cut of logs. The logging camps
report bad weather early in the new year, but say later favorable con-
ditions facilitated the work. With the breaking up of the camps, all
the old and regularly employed hands will be turned to millwork, the
remainder returning to their homesteads. Most of the teams also go
back to the harrow, the binder and the plow. The plant at Prince
Albert will run night and day throughout the coming summer.

Mr. Angus Carss, of the Carss Mackinaw Clothing Co., Limited,
Orillia, Ont., leaves on March 18th for his annual trip to the Pacific
Coast. Mr. Carss has been calling upon the lumbermen throughout
the country for many years and is well known to the trade. He car-
ries a full line of samples of all his mackinaw clothing and lumber-
men’s supplies.

That the Western States are now on edge of a wave of prosper-
ity that has swept the East as a result of the enormous demand for
war munitions and that this prosperity will be reflected in a heavy
demand for lumber from Washington mills are some of the assurances
given by J. H. Bloedel, president of the West Coast Lumbermen’s
Association and of the Bloedel Donovan Lumber Mills, upon his ar-
vival from an extended trip East.

The Croaker

Once on the aidge of a pleasant pool,
Under the bank where ’twas dark and cool,
Where bushes over the water hung,

And rushes nodded, and grasses swung,
Jest where the crick flowed outer the bog,
There lived a grumpy and mean ole frog,

* Who’d set all day in the mud and soak
And jest do nothin’ but croak and croak,
Till a blackbird hollered, “I say, yer know,
What is the matter down there below?
Are you in trouble, er pain, er what?”

The frog sez, ‘Mine is a orful lot;

Nothin’ but mud and dirt and slime

For me ter look at jest all the time.
It’s a dirty world!” so the old fool spoke,
“Croakity-croakity-croakity-croak!”

“But yer lookin’ down!” the blackbird said;
“Took at the blossoms overhead,

Look at the lovely summer skies,

Look at the bees and butterflies;

Laok up, old feller. Why, bless yer soul,
Yer lookin’ down in a muskrat hole!”

But still with a gurglin’ sob and choke
The blame ole critter would only croak.
And a wise old turtle, who boarded near,
Sez to the blackbird, “Friend, see here:
Don’t shed no tears over him, fer he

Is low-down, jest ’cause he likes ter be;
He’s one er them kind er chumps that’s glad
Ter be so mis-rable-like and sad;

T’ll tell yer somethin’ that ain’t no joke,
Don’t waste yer sorrer on folks that croak.”

New Name for an Old Firm

The P. B. Yates Machine Company Ltd., will in future be the
name of the well known firm of woodworking machinery manufac-
turers formerly known to lumbermen under the name of the Berlin
Machine Works, Beloit, Wis., U. S. A., and Hamilton, Ont. In an
announcement sent to the trade the company state that ever since the
business was founded 40 years ago in the little Wisconsin town’ of
3erlin, from which it took its name, considerable annoyance has been
experienced through the adoption of this name by many other small
concerns, established in cities of the same name in various States.
They have therefore, concluded to change the name as above noted.
This change is confined to name only. The officers, personnel, cap-
ital and policy remain as heretofore.

Urges B.C. Trade to Get Ready for Big Orders

Mr. Andrew Ness of the Ness Trading Company, Glasgow, .
Scotland, was in Vancouver recently, during a visit to B. C. to in-
spect the lumber situation. Mr. Ness looks forward to an enormous
demand for B. C. forest products as soon as the war begins to approach
its conclusion. During the days of reconstruction he expects to see
an unprecedented demand in Europe for timber and lumber, and
urges B. C. mill men to begin now to make ready for the opportunity.

A press despatch from Chicago recently stated that the Belgian
Government is in the market for 5,000,000 feet of wood goods, 3,000,000
feet of which is to be in large hewn timbers. The despatch states
that orders are to be placed on the market through the Belgian Consul
at New Orleans, La.

Mr. Wm. Bryant, formerly superintendent for Schultz Bros. &
Company, Brantford, Ont., has been engaged as superintendent of

Review of Current Trade Conditions

Ontario

The lumber trade in Ontario continues on a very quiet basis. This
is quite a normal condition for the present time of year and simply
means that the trade is at a between-seasons stage. The severe wea-
ther of the past fortnight has added to the natural quietness of the
trade. Travellers who have been about the province extensively dur-
ing the past month are inclined to believe that conditions will pick
up as soon as the weather shows signs of becoming more settled and
pleasant. There is already quite a fair consumption of stock by some
manufacturing lines. Piano and medical instrument lines, for instance,
are quite active, and are using up a good deal of lumber.

The shell box situation is still more or less of a puzzle. The
Munitions Board have sent out tender forms in connection with
several classes of boxes. Their requirements in Ontario, according
to these forms, will be extensive. A great many firms are figuring
-upon the work, and it is expected that contracts will soon be given
out. In fact, we already learn that some contracts have now been
placed. In connection with these contracts it is likely that there will
be a much better feeling among the trade than under the old way of
doing business, even if the calling for tenders in a businesslike man-
ner reduces the actual returns to the firms which receive the contracts.

The building situation throughout Ontario, while it has not yet
shown any activity, is expected to do so pretty soon. ‘Travellers find
that Ontario farmers, like the farmers in the West, are well supplied
with money, and that they are giving a good deal of thought to the
necessity for putting up new buildings and repairing old ones. It is
quite reasonable to believe that there will be a fair movement in this
direction during the approaching spring, as the farmer has done re-
markably well, and for a long time past has not been much of a
factor in the building situation.

Reports from Ottawa indicate that a noticeable improvement has
commenced in the lumber trade, especially in connection with the
American market. There is a strong demand for spruce for export
to New York. Reports from the woods indicate that operations have
been carried on successfully in practically all cases, and that hauling
operations are almost completed.

Eastern Canada

There is no change to report in connection with the lumber mar-
ket at Montreal, nor is any expected until construction again becomes
active. <A fair amount of building in the way of houses and flats is
looked for this year, but there are no important large construction
schemes under consideration. Wholesalers are looking forward
anxiously to the letting of new shell box contracts, hoping that they
will soon be placed, and afford relief from the present dullness. The
export situation continues very uncertain. Steamship companies are
unable to give information regarding the amount of tonnage that will
be available, as they do not know what the requirements of the Gov-
ernment will be. Some space has already been booked at 285s and
300s per standard. A couple of tramp schooners, it is said, have been
chartered at 225s. :

At Boston, the price of eastern spruce continues to advance. Re-
tail yards are buying plentifully and manufacturers are not very keen
about selling. Some mill men are quoting $28 base for spruce frames,
Boston delivery, which is the highest price in years and probably the
record price. Some sellers, however, have been taking $27, but these
are now scarce: The production of spruce this winter is reported to
have been from 25 to 50 per cent. below that of the winter previous.
There is an active demand for random, and quotations are firm, the
range being as follows :—2x3, $21.50 to $22; 2x4, $22.50 to $24; 2x5,
2x6 and 2x7, $21.50 to $22; 2x8, $25 to $26.50; 2x10, $27; 2x12, $28.
The lowest price now asked for matched boards in stock lengths is
$25 and some are asking $26. All lines of hardwood at Boston are
firm and the demand is strong. Birch is especially active. Thick
sizes of birch are high and very erratic. Firsts and seconds 1 in.
birch are quoted at $56 to $59 for red, and $45 to $47 for sap birch.
Stocks of dry hemlock in manufacturers’ hands are much reduced.
The demand seems active, especially for dry hemlock boards. Clipped
boards 10, 12, 14 and 16 ft. are bringing $23. Shingles are rather
quiet, but on account of the situation on the Pacific Coast, prices are
fairly steady. The best white cedar extras are offering at $3.50 and
fair makes at $3.40. The range for white cedar clears is from $3 to
$3.10. Lath are steady and fairly active. For 1 5/8 in. manufac-
turers are asking $4.25, Boston rate, and for 1% in. $4.

March 15, 1916

United States

The most important feature in connection with the general busi-
ness situation in the United States today is the remarkable condition
of the steel market. Consumers are almost in a panic for fear there
will not be sufficient steel to go round, yet record breaking prices do
not seem to worry them a bit. In addition to the enormaus demand
for steel for munitions and war supplies the domestic consumption has”
reached great proportions. All this activity is producing a tremen-
dous demand upon the car building companies: All car shops are
crowded with orders. The immense amount of money that has been
put in circulation generally has created an easier money market, pro-
ducing a condition of prosperity that leads people to consider the
building of homes and the erection of business buildings, also con- —
struction work of all kinds. This is the feature of the general situa-
tion that is of particular interest to the lumber trade, as it ensures a
good demand tor building material that will continue probably —
throughout the present year. An increased demand for building ma-
terials of all kinds is confidently expected this spring. The lumber
industry is now enjoying a large immediate demand and the indica- —
tions are for an improved demand for the future. It is seriously
handicapped, however, by lack of transportation facilities, the freight
situation constantly growing worse and the congestion at the large
eastern ports continually becoming very pronounced. In short, the
railroad companies are swamped with business and their facilities for
taking care of it are absolutely inadequate.

The yellow pine business is on a better basis than it has been for __
several years. Although there was a slight fluctuation and reduc-
tion in prices during February, conditions have again improved and
the tendency is now distinctly upward. Producers appear to have
the situation well in hand and a stable market from this time forward ©
is well assured, as the demand is constantly increasing and production
is being kept well within bounds. Manufacturers on the Pacific
Coast report improvement, and a better situation than there has been
for some years. Lumber being shipped now is bringing the pur-
chaser a considerable advance over the prices of 1915. Inland Empire
mills are also enjoying a good demand. Throughout the western in-
terior the situation is one of general prosperity. Northern hardwood
maufacturers report a good demand for their products, and the same
conditions pevail in connection with southern hardwoods. Hemlock
manufacturers in the north and east are enjoying a good demand for
practically all they can produce, at good prices. The situation is
easily and definitely summed up in regard to all parts of the country
in a statement that the only drawback to be found anywhere is the
lack of transportation facilities. With this removed the lumber
business is assured of a long season of prosperity.

Great Britain

The spot market at London continues very active and deliveries
are large in spite of the fact that available stocks are light and arrivals
limited. Values continue to advance so that importers are not at-
tracted to the forward purchasing business. Practically all transac-
tions at present are for immediate requirements. Conditions are now
such that when navigation is opened shipments of all kinds of stock
should be heavy. Deliveries at London docks for the week ending
February 12th amounted to 3,851 standards as compared with 4,361
standards during the corresponding week of 1915. At Foy, Morgan
& Company’s recent auction sale 3 x 5 unsorted St. John spruce 5/20
sold at £23 5s per standard. A load of clear silver spruce from
Portland, Ore., 2 x 8, 10/22 sold at £27 10s per standard. Montreal
pine dry firsts, 1 x 4/6, 10/16 brought £31 per standard. Unsorted
Montreal spruce 3 x 7/11, 10/14 sold at £25 15s. Oregon pine from
Tacoma,. Wash., 1% x 8, 8/16, dry prime clear, brought £23 per
standard.

At Liverpool, the timber trade is greatly concerned about the in-
terpretation that will be placed upon the edict prohibiting the impor-
tation of furniture woods, hardwoods and veneers. Up to date, the
latest information gives no explanation of what this edict will cover. |
The greater portion of the wood imported under these headings, how-
ever, is for Government requirements and it may reasonably be as-
sumed that the exemption clause will still allow these goods being
brought into England under license. The c. i. f- spruce market at
present is practically dead. A few liner parcels have been arriving
and have been disposed of quickly at figures surpassing all records.
There is no business in progress for forward delivery on clear c. i. f.

terms, because of the lack of tonnage. Space from Quebec to Liver-
pool or Manchester has been booked at 260s per standard and 300s
is talked of. The spot market has continued to advance and the de-
mand is still strong, while arrivals are very small. The purchasers
of today are the actual consumers in nearly all cases. Prices of all
thicknesses of birch have advanced. First open water is still some
distance off and it looks as though further increases may be expected.
At Manchester, stocks of hardwoods are low and with the embargo
upon their importation it looks as though higher prices are certain.

Market Correspondence

Uncertainty Still Governs Montreal Trade

Montreal, March 11th (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—
Conditions in the lumber trade remain about the same as noted in the
last report. Until construction makes a start, there is not likely to
be any marked improvement in the demand. As far as can be gath-
ered, there are no important schemes under consideration, although
we may expect a fair amount of building in the way of houses and
flats. For the moment trade is very quiet, wholesalers looking for-
ward to the new shell box orders to give a certain amount of relief
from the present stagnant position.

Most firms with shell box contracts are working at a compara-
tively slow rate; some are behind in their deliveries, not because they
were not prepared to make deliveries, but in consequence of produc-
tion being ahead of requirements. The prices for boxes have lately
been reduced, and there are complaints that certain firms are appar-
ently willing to’ manufacture at quotations which leave little or no
profit or at an actual loss. This cutting, it is declared, must have its
influence on the general volume of shell box business, making it diffi-
cult to secure a reasonable amount of profit.

The building permits last month totalled $65,915, as compared
with $441,980 in February last year. For the year to date the value
is $240.075, against $645.241 in the corresponding period of 1915.

There is much uncertainty as to the export situation. The steam-
ship companies are in the dark as to the amount of tonnage likely to
be available, owing to Government demands. There are, however,
indications of the rates which are likely to prevail. A little space
has already been booked at 285s. and 300s. per standard, and it is also
reported that one firm has chartered two tramp steamers at 225s.

The sulphite pulp market continues its upward march. With
a very strong demand, and with European supplies to the United
States limited, the outlook is for a still further gain in values. Kraft
pulp is scarce. Newsprint is in heavy request both for domestic and
foreign account and is shipped out as fast as can be manufactured.
Prices, too, are rising, in sympathy with the advance in sulphite.

Ottawa Trade Showing Improvement

Ottawa, March 9th; (Special to the Canada Lumberman ) :—There
has been noticed quite a decided change for the better in the local
lumber trade. Particularly is this so in the American market, but the
Canadian trade has also improved somewhat during the last two
weeks. Spruce is especially strong in the New York market and
there is a good demand for 1% inch by 48 inch lath at an advance
in price. Most of the Ottawa manufacturers look forward to a year
of good trade, especially with the United States.

Lumbermen expect that tonnage will again be very scarce for
moving lumber to the British Isles. At the same time it is under-
stood that some of the English buyers are looking this way to buy
cuts for this season.

Some of the manufacturers’ yards are fairly well loaded up, but
owing to the improvement in trade, stocks are being cut down at a
good rate now. With regard to woods operations, the work is com-
ing along in good shape and most of the hauling will be caught up
within the next ten days.

Mr. G. C. Seibert, formerly with Schultz Bros. & Company, Lim-
ited, Brantford, Ont., where he occupied the position of sales man-
ager, has been appointed manager for Galbraith & Company, Limited,
Owen Sound, Ont. Galbraith & Company, Limited, are arranging
to go into the manufacture of wood: specialties, such as toys, games
and kitchenware, more particularly such articles as are now imported.

March 15, 1916 i

In soft woods also, the high freight rates continue to advance prices.
Spruce deals 3 in. x 11 in. are valued at £35 per standard, and
scantlings at £26 10s. Quebec and other pine is advancing in value
ee Third quality deals are near £33 per standard for 11 in.

been arranged for by shippers, the production being about the same
last year, and though we understand a small advance on last y ’s
prices is being asked, it would appear now as if spruce was relatively
the cheapest wood to be had in the British market. One of the Can-
adian shippers now on this side has expressed his amazement and dis
appointment that up to now the British Government purchasers of
whitewood should have gone so largely to Swedish and Russian ship-

pers. With regard to yellow pine deals little has yet been done in
selling, as the inevitable freight difficulties are standing in the way
of business. There is a fairly good demand in certain parts of the
United Kingdom, but the prices being realised are in nearly all cases -
less than the goods could be imported at, at the present rates of
freight. The market, however, is rising, and should continue to do}
so unless there is a drop in the freight market. Some of the railway |,
inquiries are out for oak timber, for which there is an active demand.)
The Admiralty contract for timber, consisting of elm and waney
pine, has again been placed with the firm of J. Burstall & Co. Can | }
adian shippers are wondering as to the scope of the restrictions against |
the import of hardwoods into this country, but hope that these will —
not be extended to Colonial woods. As a matter of fact the bulk of _
the Canadian hardwoods is used by the railway companies and ship-_
builders, whose requirements are essential for the welfare of the coun
try, especially in times of war. The following Canadian shippers are
now in England on their annual visits: Mr. Wm. Power, M. P., of |
W. & J. Sharples; Mr. J. F. Burstall, of John Burstall & Co.; Mr. R.

Will Advertise Red Cedar Shingles !

A meeting was recently held in Vancouver, B. C., attended by
some of the leading manufacturers of red cedar shingles in the proy-

the United States mills in a combined project to advertise red cedar
shingles throughout North;America, by the medium of magazines,
newspapers, farm publications and lumber and trade journals. B. C.
mills which have already joined this movement are as follows :—Van-
couver Cedar Mills Ltd., Huntting-Merritt Lumber Co. Ltd., New
Westminster Mill Co. Ltd., and the Thurston-Flavelle Co. Ltd. In- i
cluding American mills, the membership covers 40 mills manufactur- —
ing 3 billion shingles annually. The movement includes not only —
advertising the red cedar shingle, but the stablizing of grades, efficient ~
inspection arrangements and the furnishing of literature and illustra-
tions to retailers to enable them to carry on their local advertising
successfully. It is also proposed to provide a trade mark so as to ©

make it possible to guarantee quality.

It is estimated that B. C. exports of lumber during 1915 amounted ey
to about 100,000,000 feet, as compared with 37,000,000 feet during 1914,
the increase being largely due to the requirements of the allied Gov-
ernments for war purposes. Much of the exports have been handled —
by vessels furnished by the Governments. The scarcity of tonnage, —
however, has led to the shipment of considerable quantities by way of
the C. P. R. which has made a rate of 60c per hundred Ibs. on lumber _
from B. C. coast terminals to St. John, N. B., whence the material _
is shipped to United Kingdom ports by vessel. The latest reports’
tell of increasing activiey in the lumber trade of B. C., the demand
both at home and abroad being on the increase. The box shook
trade of the province has been stimulated along with other lines, and
markets for B. C. shooks have been developed which were hitherto un-
known. The outlook in this line is quite promising. _

Utilizing, Wood Waste in the Paper

By E. B. Biggar

The devastation of large tracts of state-owned forests in France
and Germany by the armies that are now wasting the face of the earth
in Europe, and the stoppage of the regular channels of the lumber
trade since the great war began will direct attention anew to the pos-
sibilities of saving the prodigious waste of wood that has been going
on ever since the axe has been laid to the trees of this continent. For-
tunes can be made out of the odds and ends of waste in the lumber
industry of Canada and the United States. It is calculated that if
the wood wasted in yellow pine lumbering were distilled by the steam
process into turpentine the product would equal all the turpentine
produced from gum. Tanning extracts are largely made from chest-
nut, and usually from cordwood, but in a recent year (1907) there was
enough wasted in the chestnut lumber industry of the United States
to produce all the tanning extract made that year from the cordwood
specially cut for the purpose. These are two illustrations out of many
that could be cited as to the enormous aggregate of wood waste that
might be profitably used.

There is a large waste of raw material in pulp and paper manu-
facturing, and the great development of this industry in Canada will
no doubt bring into existence allied industries such as are carried on
in European countries. Up till now the attention of capitalists has
been so concentrated on the main industry that scarcely any thought
has been devoted to using the by-products of the business; but these
by-product industries will come in time.

The Soda Pulp Problem

It has been suggested that much can be done in saving sawmill
waste to use in the manufacture of soda pulp. This can be done, but
the process is not without its difficulties. Unfortunately the question
of the raw material is the least of these difficulties. It is a problem
of chemicals, of transportation, of cheap power and of markets com-
bined.

It may seem strange that while the manufacture of mechanically
ground wood pulp, of sulphite pulp and of sulphate (Kraft) pulp has
developed so wonderfully along with paper manufacturing in many of
its special branches in Canada, there has been no increase in the soda
pulp industry in recent years. Indeed, it is a fact that the present
total output, since the destruction by fire of the plant near Newcastle,
N. B., is less than it was fifteen years ago, there being now only two
plants that are in active production, making less than twenty tons
per day. The cost of a soda plant would be about $10,000 per ton
per day output.

Soda pulp is produced by the action of caustic soda on the fibres
of the wood, digesters for treating the wood being used, as in the
making of sulphite pulp. Caustic soda is produced from carbonate of
soda, and is known also under the trade name of soda ash or alkali.
By the sulphite and sulphate processes, which need not be here des-
cribed, wood pulp is made having a longer and stronger fibre, and
this fibre is used to mix with the shorter and more easily made ground-
wood pulp in various proportions to give it the strength needed for
different kinds of paper. The soda process produces a fibre, but it is
softer and of a different texture and is used for making book papers
and papers having a fine smooth surface. The proportion which such
papers bear to the whole industry is small, as may be understood when
it is stated that out of a grand total of about 4,500,000 cords of wood
used annually in the United States pulp and paper industry only
650,000 cords go into the soda fibre process. Again, out, of these 650,-
000 cords consumed in soda pulp no less than 350,000 cords are made
from poplar wood, which produces by far the better fibre when com-
pared with other woods. Pine, beech and maple, in the order named,
rank next as raw material for soda fibre, while fir, hemlock and spruce
are away down on the list. It will be seen at once that if Canadian
soda fibre is to attain a reputation and become a permanent industry
it-~should be based upon poplar wood, and this further reduces the
field of such an industry if it is conducted as a means of using up the
mill waste of the average Canadian sawmill.

Export Markets Essential

Of recent years a larger proportion of book papers is being made
from printed papers that are bleached and used over again, and this
helps to reduce the requirements of the raw material. Any large
output of Canadian soda plants would have to seek a market abroad
for the present, and this brings another problem before us. The pre-
sent price of chemicals in the paper industry, and especially in the pulp
processes, is not merely abnormal but without precedent. The pulp
industry in Norway and Sweden is cared for and regulated by the

’ material in the forests, second the immense hydraulic power available

Industry —

government in those countries to a much greater extent than in any
country except Germany,-and large investments in any new lines ~
in Canada would want to be assured that the connections with Great —
Britain, which could undoubtedly be made now to supplant Scan-—
dinavian trade, would be continued after the war. No doubt it would —
be to the economic advantage not only of Great Britain, but of the
British Dominions, if the whole Empire could be more self contained
but if this yiew prevails, then Russia, France, Italy and the othe
allies will want to share some of these advantages or preferenc
But if there was a permanency in such trade arrangements, it would
mean a tremendous development in the pulp and paper industries, ag
well as all others based on wood as a raw material. : ae
Caustic soda is a by-product in the electrolytic bleaching pro
and the electrolytic process has revolutionized the manufactur
bleaching powder and soda ash. The success of this depends on chea
water power and convenient transportation. Without doubt there
a great field for this in Canada, war or no war. What it offers now
may be grasped from the simple statement that before the war bleach- —
ing powder was 1%c. per lb., while now it varies from 6c. to 10c., and wt
often it is not obtainable at that. | oe.

Causes for Canada’s Pulp and Paper Progress

_ Canada has made her great advances in pulp and paper manufac-
turing because of three prime advantages, first the vast extent of raw

and third the native skill of the Canadian people in wood craft. One
of these advantages, the cheap water powers, would alone ensure the
success of a Canadian electrolytic bleach industry, and then a new era
in soda pulp and a further adyance in manufacturing paper for export
would naturally follow. The initial capital involved would be large,
but the results would be proportionately great, because they would
favorably influence many industries throughout Canada besides the
pulp and paper trades. -

The electrolytic bleaching plant at Niagara Falls, N. Y., has been
a great success, and the establishment of a large plant in Canada
would not only prove profitable in itself, but its existence would pro-
vide a more assured basis for a soda pulp industry on a considerable
scale, and thereby give greater diversity to the paper industry. A
Canadian soda pulp industry is therefore not so much a problem of
raw wood, where so much is being needlessly burnt and otherwise
wasted, but a problem of cheap chemicals. The devotion of some large
water power cheaply developed for this purpose would not only
greatly expand the whole paper industry, but would stimulate a large
series of other industries in which bleaching and soda products are
used.

Fire Brick for Lumbermen

The Elk Fire Brick Company of Canada, Limited, Federal Life
Building, Hamilton, Ont., manufacturers of every kind of fire brick,
include in their output a number of lines of importance to lumbermen,
among them being special lines for refuse burners, boiler settings,
kilns, Dutch ovens, etc. The whole problem connected with the pro-
duction and use of fire brick is entertainingly and well discussed in
a booklet issued by the company under the title of “Refractory Effici-
ency Engineering.” The book commences with the first stages of the
industry and follows it through to the various finished products, deal-
ing with fire clay, its proportion, blending, etc.; manufacturing, and
finally with the marketing of the product. The second part of the -
book gives an interesting history of the Elk Fire Brick Company
and a detailed description of its operations, policy, etc. In addition
to the above the book contains an assortment of important informa-
tion of value to all who are interested in fire brick.

One of the chief points brought out in the book is the fact that
the term “high grade” is often improperly used in connection with
fire brick. All brands of fire brick, it is pointed out,-:are “high grade”
for some classes of work, because they give better results in one or ©
more places, than other brands. The method of marking does not
necessarily entitle them, to the term “high grade.” This fact places
upon the salesman the responsibility of recommending the special
varieties best suited for particular work.

Samples of the Elk Brick Company’s fire bricks were recently
tested by the Department of Mines at Ottawa, and the results showed
that they were of high refractory quality and stood severe crushing
strain, :

operated at Crooked Lake, employing from 200 to 250 men. Logging condi-
tions have not been good during the past few months owing to the great depth

of snow and the excessive cold. However, the company have an extensive
supply of logs on hand left over from the previous year. The sawmills at
Big River are expected to be running night and day this year at full capacity.

Thos. Meredith, of New Westminster, B. C., managing director of the
Canadian Pacific Lumber Company, has leased the company’s mill at Port

and Shingle Company, and A. W. Mylroi, of the Anchor Supply Company.
The mill has a capacity of 100,000 feet per day and Mr. Dent states that it
will operate to its capacity from the middle of March, giving employment to
200 men. It is reported that the price paid was $250,000. The idea of the
lessees is to cater to the Alaskan and northern trade. The company has
already commenced to ship out lumber which was on hand when the transfer
took place.

The reorganization of the Ocean Falls Company, Limited, at Ocean
Falls, B. C., is being rapidly completed, and if is expected that a busy city
will shortly be brought into existence at Ocean Falls, as a result. The plant
has been taken over by the Pacific Mills, Limited, capitalized at $9,500,000,
* of which $2,000,000 is to be issued in 6 per cent. preferred shares and $7,500,000
in common shares, with a bond issue of $3,000,000. J. H. Lawson is president,
W. S. Lane secretary, and the Board of Directors is composed of N. R. Lang,
S. D. Brooks, W. S. Lang, R. R. Parker and J. H. Lawson, all of Vancouver.
The Crown-Willamette Paper Company, of Portland and San Francisco, is
also largely interested, also the Ocean Falls Company, Limited, as bond
holders. Arrangements are now being made for the erection of a paper mill in
addition to the pulp mill. The present plant, including a pulp mill and saw-
mill, are to be much improved. The Ocean Falls Company, Limited, was
incorporated in 1910 and its pulp mill and sawmill were operated for a time.
Three years ago the company went into the hands of receivers and the deal
for reorganizing was completed a few months ago.

Messrs. P. Payette Co. of Penetang, Ont., have recently made a
number of installations in different mills in the country of their Lath
and Bolter machines, three of the most recent ones being for McFad-
den and Malloy at Spragge, Ont.; Wm. Milne & Sons of North Bay;
and the Bonnechere Lath and Picket Co., Ltd., at Golden Lake. They
have also recently built a 2 ton pulley, 36 in. face for a new main
drive in Manley Chew’s Midland mill, supplying as well all the coupl-
ing boxes and shafting.

A deputation of the members of the Mountain Lumbermen’s
Association recently waited upon Hon. Wm. R. Ross, Minister of
Lands and Forests for British Columbia, to urge that he continue
the work done by the Department in developing the markets for
British Columbia timber and lumber. The members of the deputa-
tion were W. F. Lammers, W. Mark DeCew, W. A. Anstie, and Neil
Murray. The deputation also called upon A. W. Pineo, chairman of
the Workmen’s Compensation Act Commission for British Columbia,
in order to acquaint him with their views in regard to the working of
+ the act.

A report from Portland, Oregon, states that, for the first time in
ten years, operators on the Pacific Coast have now no fear of over-
production, even with all mills running on a ten hour day. A Wash-
ington mill has recently received an order from the Burlington Rail-
road for stringers, at a price a little more than double what was paid
last year. Today, quotations on the three grades of logs in the
Puget Sound, Grays Harbor and Columbia River markets are $7, $10
and $13, the highest, it is said, in ten years. The only handicap in
connection with the whole business is the lack of bottoms for water
shipment. Quite an important factor in keeping the volume of pro-
_ duction during the present year will be the recent destruction by fire
of the Inman-Poulson mill at Portland. This mill had a daily output
of 360,000 feet.

Figure the labor cost
of operating your head rig—
wages of Head Sawyer, Carriage
Setter and Carriage Rider—compare with
that usually paid the operator of a Berlin Hori-
zontal Sawmill Resaw and settle in your own mind
whether or not it pays to cut a log to its last board on the head rig.

Your head sawyer is one of the highest priced men in your employ. Why load him up with work
that a lower priced man can do just as well and from two to three times as fast? The duty
of the head rig—an expensive but indispensable unit—should not go beyond the actual work of
opening up the log and cutting to grade. After that every cut it makes is a direct loss to you.

Cheapen the Cost of HAULAGE with
NATIONAL TRUCKS

NATIONAL Worm Drive Trucks are made in the largest Motor Truck Plant in Can-
ada. The design is the product of our own Engineering Department, and is the re-
sult of the most searching investigation of the requirements of Canadian roads and con-
ditions. The materials used in NATIONAL TRUCKS are the same as specified by the
British War Office in ordering Trucks for war purposes.

Lumber Companies will find NATIONAL MOTOR TRUCKS the most economical for
hauling logs, dressed or rough lumber, and other products of the industry. Four
models to suit every condition. Capacities of Trucks are 1,000 Ibs., 1,500 Ibs., 4,000 Ibs.

and 7,000 Ibs.

Our Traffic Engineers will present facts and figures that will prove the economy
of NATIONAL MOTOR TRUCKS in comparison with other methods of hauling.

if it fails to give satisfaction. More likely than not you

have been using the wrong kind for your particular pur-
pose. A firebrick intended for use in a small hand-fired
boiler may not give the same result if used under high
pressure boiler with mechanical stoker.

So when sending us your enquiries be sure to specify
for what purpose these brick are to be used.

You are sure then of a high quality brick, that is abso-
_lutely the best for your purpose.

RECISION

Shall Stumpage be an
| INVESTMENT,
|

a Speculation. or a ‘* Gamble?’

All investment in timber-
land, unless for immediate logging
operations 1s, technically speaking,
speculation— because profits depend
| on Increase in value. All good tim-
berland 1s steadily and rapidly appre-
ciating in value, so that the only
thing which stands between the in-
vestor in timberland and a sure profit
is the question as to whether a tract
actually contains the stumpage on
which the purchase price 1s based.

The best ‘“crutsing’’ of timber
afier the old-fashioned method (or

non-method) introduces a factor of possible
error so great that the purchase often becomes
nothing short of a ‘‘gamble.’’ Everyone knows
of case after case where a buyer has met hea-
vy losses—often without any intent to decetve
on the part of the seller.

A full LACEY REPORT on

a timber tract, made on the interna-
tionally-known and essentially sctentific
LACEY system, which we have been 36
years in developing, removes the last vestige
of ‘‘gamble’’ from any timber transaction
(whether carried through under our auspices
or not) and smoothes the way for both buyer and seller.

LOGGING LOCOMOTIVES

The designs of our Logging locomotives are the
result of wide experience, extending over a period
of 80 years.

The material used in their construction is thor-
oughly tested and is the best of its kind.

All details are accurately finished to standard
gauges and are absolutely interchangeable on all locomotives of the same class and size.

This cuts out long delays at critical times of the work, as parts liable to wear can be kept on hand or
shipped promptly from our works.

Have learned
from experience that
“ASBESTOL” Gloves
and Mittens serve their
purpose better than any
other work gloves on
the market.

Made from the best
selected leather,

EISENDRATH’S
. Celebrated
Horse Hide,

by skilled workmen, these famous work gloves and
mittens are proof against the effects of heat, steam
and water.

Make sure of the ‘‘ASBESTOL” trade-mark
the next time you buy work gloves. Most good
dealers know ‘‘ASBESTOL” and carry the line.

Canyon Lumber Company, Everett, Washington

Pl th Ch in the End
In July, 1913, the Canyon Lumber Company of Everett,
\Vashington, wrote us:

“We use Plymouth D Ship 200 thread lathyarn for
tying up our Kiln Dried finishing lumber, such as
flooring, Ceiling, Drop Siding and special stock. We
use this for the reason that it goes further to the
pound than any other lathyarn we have found, and
while we couid get 200 thread lathyarn for less money,
we find that your yarn is cheaper in the end.”

Yoday this concern still prefers Plymouth Lathyarn,

lron Saw Frame

For a simple, substantial machine that will stand up under long
service and a heavy lumber production, we have no hesitation in
commending the machine herein described and illustrated, as having
made good under the severe tests of actual service.

Note particularly the simplicity of design, the accessibility of
every part, and the full adjustment provided for.

The frame, or bed, of the machine is made in a single casting of
the hollow box section, heavily ribbed and absolutely rigid. This
facilitates the installation of the machine and insures a proper rela-
tion of parts being maintained. All the parts of the machine rest on
planed surfaces and are bolted through the top of the bed casting. To
get at these bolts, large hand holes are left on the inside of the
machine; one of which can be seen above.

TALK USES
NOT PRICES

Real Salesmanship consists of

selling a product for what it

will do—not for “what it costs.’

First, interest your customer in

the specific, best adapted uses

of the various woods you sell,
then he will become more concerned in
how they will serve or appear in his new
house, than in the cost. Stimulate a de-
sire for your merchandise, then cost 1s
secondary.

ARKANSAS
SOFT PINE

will assist you in doing this. First, be-
cause it is particularly adapted to use as
Interior Trim. Second, it is a Nationally
Advertised, Trade Marked, wood which is
well and favorably known in your com-
munity. Third, by identifying yourself
as the local distributor of this wood, you
couple your merchandising with our ad-
vertising and thus secure the benefit of
the favorable knowledge which the people
of your community now have of Arkansas
Soft Pine.

On what shall we quote?

Trade Mark ts manufactured and sold ex-
clusively by the following companies:

resent issue we publish a letter from a Canadian who has
urned to Toronto after spending the winter in England
as had exceptional opportunities for observing conditions as

ied, or has possibly increased. Whatever view one takes upon
stion, we believe that there is plenty of sound reason for pre-
in the years which follow the war. a great flood of immi-
o America. Therefor, after the question of tariffs and in-
al treaties, the subject which will probably be of greatest
ce to Canadians will be that of immigration. Unless the
of Euro pate: able to impose upon their inhabitants some

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 25

cast-iron form of prohibition against emigration, there will be millions
of people who will seek their homes in America, and we in Canada
will have a great new problem to solve. It is none too soon to give
the matter thought today. Our Government ought at once to con-
sider it from every possible point of view.

Already, in the days before the war, we were finding it a difficult
thing to keep from our shores many undesirable immigrants who
wanted to settle in Canada. After the war, this difficulty will prob-
ably be many times greater. These people will be coming to Canada
and to the United States. Both countries will want to get the pick
of them and to turn aside the undesirables. So we will have headed
towards Canada not only those who decide to emigrate to this coun-
try, but those also who are rejected by the United States. Our prob-
lem will be, not to encourage immigration to our shores, but to sep-
arate the good from the bad. We will have a great opportunity to
fill up our empty lands with the pick of the English, Scotch and Irish
who emigrate and with the desirable ones from the lands of our
Allies. At the same time we will have to be on our guard against
the rif-raf from all over Europe. We cannot lay our plans any too
soon as the job will be a big one when it materializes.

The suggestions made by our correspondent regarding the treat-
ment of immigrants when thy arrive in Canada are deserving of study.
Most of the men who arrive on our shores will be experienced in agri-
culture and in the ways of life in a new country and it will be up to us
in Canada to make the most of them; to see that they are taken in
charge, provided as quickly and completely as possible with the means
of fitting themselves for their new life and encouraged to go on sai
soil and to help in making our country, fruitful.

Trade Ethics Under Discussion in
Toronto

“Trade Ethics” was the rather extensive subject discussed at a
recent meeting of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto Board of
Trade. Although the matter was brought up by one member in a
rather apologetic manner, it developed a discussion having all the ear
marks of something important in the way of definite regulations for
the guidance of the trade. The over-lapping of the present fields of
operation of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers was the basis of
the discussion. This is a fruitful source of uncertainty and some-
times of ill-feeling among lumbermen, as it is worked out today in
mast of the Canadian markets. If something can be done to draw
the lines fairly clearly between the different fields, it will be a good
thing for all concerned. Those who discussed the matter did not
seem over sanguine of affecting anything very definite, but the fact
that all admitted the importance of making an effort to clear the air of
its present uncertainties, indicates that, at least, the question will be
pretty well threshed out, and that, if it is possible to draw up work-
able definitions of the fields of the different members of the trade, it
is pretty sure to be done.

The present difficulty commences at either end of the scale and
extends right through to the other end. Manufacturers for instance,
according to the present go-as-you-please methods may practically
consider anyone a legitimate customer. The manufacturer of course
confines himself to a very considerable extent to such customers as
will take large quantities from him at one time and who are recognized
fairly generally as legitimate wholesalers. There are manufacturers,
however, who maintain their own selling organizations which are
practically wholesale selling firms conducted under the management
of the manufacturer. This combination of the manufacturer and the
wholesaler in one firm gives it a much wider field of operation than
the ordinary manufacturer or the ordinary wholesaler. We do not
imply that there is any criticism of this way of doing business, it is a
recognized and legitimate manner of marketing lumber. The situa-
tion, however, is one which calls for a pretty definite understanding on
the part of all concerned as to what lines of trade they ought te, con-
sider their legitimate lines. Otherwise misunderstandings and hard-
feelings are pretty sure to develop. The discussion of the matter by
the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto Board of Trade was brought
up by a member of a firm of this nature who wished to hear the

opinions of others regarding what they consider his legitimate field of
operation should be.

When you come to consider the operations of the wholesalers,
the field of uncertainty increases many-fold and the troubles increase
likewise. There are a good many definitions of a wholesaler and few
of them bear much resemblance to the others. It would be a fine
thing to have these definitions weeded down to one which would make
it possible for the wholesaler to do a good business and yet avoid
being called a number of unkind things which we have sometimes
heard them called. Then there are firms of wholesalers conducted
by parties who are also conducting a retail business. Some of these
firms have financial interests in manufacturing operations which are
so extensive that they really come very close to being manufacturers
as well. They present another source of uncertainty which it would
be well to clear up, if this can be done.

April 1, 1916

There is, in normal times, plenty of business for all these varie —
ties of lumbermen and they can make a good living out of the trade
without treading too much on one another’s toes. Nowadays, nae
ever, when orders ar so rare, it is pardonable perhaps for a wholesaler
to think that a retail order is a pretty important bit of business, and
perhaps it is pardonable for the manufacturer to think that a contractgr
who takes a fair amount of stock is a pretty good man to sell to. The
small volume of business that has been in progress during the past

A Few Thoughts About Advertising Lumber

Lumbermen in Canada have never taken extensively to the idea
which has been worked out successfully in the United States that
advertising is not only an individual proposition for the marketing of
one’s own product but also a proposition which can be handled success-
fully in a co-operative manner with a view to creating a general demand
for an article in the sale of which all are mutually interested. In the
United States this idea has been making great advances during the
last few years, until today, the producers of various kinds of lumber
have, in various instances, co- -operated successfuly for advertising
their products so as to create a market for the men who have to sell
them to the consumer. It is an everyday matter now to pick up a
popular magazine and see in it several fine advertisements of white
pine, northern hemlock, cypress, southern pine, redwood, etc. These
advertisements are profitable or they would not be continued. They
are creating in the minds of the public an idea that, after all, there is
much to be said for lumber and timber as against their many forms of
substitutes. Already the effect is widespread.

Is it not time that Canadian lumbermen took a leaf out of the book
of their friends across the line and gave this question serious thought.
In the absence of any such co-operation to make the public think
about our Canadian products, these United States advertisements are

setting up in the minds of Canadians an idea that there are some very”

choice woods across the line which cannot be had in Canada and which
are better even than our own. It would be a comparatively new
thing in Canada for the lumbermen to advertise in this manner, but we
have good reason for believing that it would be a paying proposition

and one which the lumbermen’s organizations already in existence in
several different provinces could take up to advantage.

Such a plan if worked out rightly would result in benefit to the
lumbermen all round. By co-operation of this kind the manufacturer
will make lumber a very attractive material for the retailer to handle.
The wholesaler will benefit by the better demand coming from the re-
tailer who will find a wider field of enquiry for his goods. At the same
time the retailer will naturally become more of an expert in regard to
the use of wood and the consumer will get the best material for his
purposes in a far greater number of cases than he does today. The
1etailer moreover, will be encouraged to do his own share of the work
by advertising more persistently and more earnestly in his own local
papers.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish an article giving a summary of
the remarks on advertising made by Mr. R. S. Kellogg, secretary of
the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association. The keynote to
his address was “Use Wood Where Wood is Best.” He brought out
the advantages of co-operative advertising, to which we have referred
above and also discussed the importance of honesty in advertising.
Mr. Kellogg has made a special study of the whole lumber trade in
the United States and his opinion carries probably more weight on this
subject than that of any other man. He states that the lumber trade,
in years gone by, failed to realize the possibilities for increasing its
markets which manufacturers in other lines had realized long ago and
taken advantage of to the full. Asa result of “advertising, lots of it,

ee
—

honest advertising and efficient advertising,” he says, “the ti
trade has today revolutionized the methods of merchandizing its
duct and this applies not only to the manufacturer, but to the
saler and to the retailer.” Such a strong statement should make C
adian lumbermen give the subject some of the attention whieh,
deserves.
Honesty in advertising is the keynote of the success now being
obtained in connection with lumber publicity in the United rene
The idea has taken strong hold that the thing to advertise is that ¥
should be used only where wood is best suited for the purpose z :
that the public should be educated as to the uses of wood. This |
education is the field for the combined efforts of the manufacturers — 4
and the wholesalers. In working out such a plan in Canada it would |
probably be necessary to take the production of certain important deal
tricts and work up advertising campaigns for them separately. Such
a plan is now being put into effect by the Government of B. C._ ~The -
results, as our readers already know, are definite and most promising.
There is probably a good field for similar work in connection “witht
white pine, spruce, hemlock, birch, and possibly one or two he
Canadian woods. : {
It may be imagined by some that our object in urging this propo- -
sition is to some extent one of self interest. We do not figure, how- ©
ever, that much of this class of advertising would come to our own ©
columns. The idea is that the public should be educated in the uses —
of lumber through its popular magazines. Of course, the benefits that _ .
would result from the increased use of wood, would also be a benefit
to lumber trade publications, but the big benefit would be to the whole —
industry, and as this plan has been put into operation so successfully -
in a considerable number of cases across the line, we can see no reason
why a similar programme could not be successfully worked out in
Canada. }

goods :—J. H. Bovill, chairman; Geo. Burt, J. P., and
Cobbett, with Mr. H. J. Phillips of the Board of Trade
The furniture woods, hardwoods and veneers prohibited
lation comprise those hardwoods which are so specified
ndix to the import list No. 32, 1914. The prohibition of im-
not include fir, pine, spruce, oak, teak sleepers or staves,
actures, as for instance, 3 or more ply wood. Among
ie which license to ship must be obtained are the follow-
rood, cedar, gum, hickory, iron wood, maple, walnut and

v5 Car Shortage Situation Critical
for lumber for delivery at prairie province points have
ntiful lately that B. C. mills are confronted with a serious
ars for making delivery. Mr. F. W. Peters, general sup-

aining the company’s position, in which he said :—*The
are pressing the railways for more box cars because of
orders coming in from the prairies. The difficulty the rail-
is that they are called upon by the farmers in the prairie
for cars to move the wheat which is still unmarketed, and
tothe weather. [very car taken away from this service and
to B. C. would mean a loss of that car to the best customer
mills have got, and would mean that the farmer would be
to realize on his crop and purchase lumber. The problem is
k ep the storage elevators open. To receive this grain, cars
furnished to ship it by rail to Atlantic ports. The storage at

United States where the whole country is suffering from a lack of
cars to handle the enormous traffic offering.” ;

The congestion in the United States is described in a despatch
from Chicago which states that only one of the through railroads be-
tween New York and Chicago has its tracks clear. There are 100,000
cars, loaded to the roofs, backed up on the storage tracks between
the two cities. Goods that left Chicago in December have not yet
got to within 300 miles of the Atlantic seaboard. For a distance of
900 miles every available spur and line is choked with loaded cars.
The docks, piers, private warehouses, public storehouses, and open
spaces in the yards are piled high with goods. The car shortage
situation is expected to become even more acute with the advance of
spring, and no improvement is believed to be in sight.

Trying to Relieve Car Shortage

At a recent meeting of the Board of Trade of New Westminster,
b. C., Mr. J. G. Robson, chairman of the Lumber Committee, and Mr.
Rummell, chairman of the Transportation Committee were appointed
a special committee to enquire into the shortage of box cars for lumber
exports from that district and to endeavor to induce the provincial
Government to assist in facilitating the interchange of cars across
the Fraser bridge for the St. Paul and Milwaukee line. Mr. Robson
said: “That just at this time when the lumber manufacturing industry
had half a chance to come to life, the impossibility of getting box
cars, owing to the congestion on the prairies, where cars were used
for grain storage purposes, was proving a serious handicap to the mill
men. He instanced how local shingle mills were being tied up for
want of cars and how the Fraser Mills were short 900 cars. The
B. C. Electric were doing much to provide the facilities by making
connection with the different railways as the C. P. R. at Abbotsford,
Northern Pacific at Sumas, and Great Northern. If some arrange-
ments could be made to facilitate the transfer of Milwaukee cars over
the Fraser bridge, this would be a factor in relieving the situation.”

Embargoes Hampering New England Trade

Boston, Mass., March 23, (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—
Trade is not very active here just now on account of the cold weather
and snow we have had. ‘There is still a heavy coating of snow on
the ground, in fact as much as there has been at any time this winter.
We look for at least a good fair trade when weather conditions im-
prove. Of course in some lines of manufacturing, particularly in box
manufacture, there is great activity. It looks as though there would
be at least an average amount of building, possibly more. We are
greatly hampered by railroad embargoes, and the New Haven rail-
road seems to be shut off most of the time. It is injuring business
on that line and considerably effecting our distribution of lumber.
We are in hopes when we get better weather the railroads may be
able to take care of their business better, but are afraid the New
Haven is not likely to be able to get along without embargoes for a
good while to come. Of course New York business is also hampered
very much in the same way.

May Tax New Brunswick Timber Lands

The question of how to raise more revenue was discussed by many
supporters of the Government in the New Brunswick Legislature re-
cently, and the resolution of J. L. White, proposing to place a tax
upon granted lands not included in the school districts was enlarged
upon and an amendment offered by L. P. D. Tilley to have a commit-
tee of the House inquire into the advisability of taxing both crown and
granted lands was adopted. There are 7,000,000 acres of crown lands
and it is said about 4,000,000 acres of granted lands. Some propose
a tax of two cents an acre upon crown lands, which would yield about
$140,000. An equal tax upon granted lands would bring $80,000, but
it is said some propose that granted lands shall pay four cents per
acre, which would yield a revenue of $160,000, or $300,000 in all. The
Speaker appointed Messrs. White, Carter, Mahoney, Jones, Culligan,
Woods, Hachey, Tilley, Lockhart and Slipp as the committee for this
purpose.

Big Orders for Douglas Fir Gone to U. S.

A despatch from Portland, Ore., states that a contract for 4,500,000
feet of Douglas fir lumber has been awarded by one of the Entente
Powers to the Duncan lumber mill. On account of the scarcity of
vessels on the Pacific, the entire order, it is said, will be delivered by
rail to the Atlantic seaboard for shipment to Europe. The contract
calls for delivery within 90 days. Another rush order from an En-
tente Power, which is said to have been placed with the Wauna mill,
calls for the delivery on the Atlantic seaboard of 80,000 feet of spruce
for the construction of aeroplanes. During the last few days several

large orders have been placed with the Columbia river mills by the

railroads. The Great Northern Railroad has contracted with one
mill, it is reported, for 4,000,000 feet of Douglas fir, to be used in the
construction of box cars.

Canadian

The natural forests and forest plantations of
South Africa supply only a small proportion of the
country’s necessities. Such timber as is produced
in the country is used chiefly for firewood, mining
props, railway sleepers,. native huts and fencing.
Small quantities of the more valuable woods are
used for vehicles, cabinetwork and handles. ‘The
total amount of South African timber used for all
purposes annually is estimated to be 58,000,000 board
feet, practically none of which is fit for saw-timber.
In contrast with this it is estimated that 120,000,000
feet of sawn lumber are imported into the country
annually.

The chief needs of the timber-using population
of South Africa are at present supplied by imports.

The timber imports into South Africa for 1914
were valued at $5,962,915. South Africa in propor-
tion to its population ranks after Australia as sec-
ond in the list of the world’s timber importing
countries. The average value of the annual timber
importations of Australia is $2.87 per capita, where-
as the average in South Africa is $1 per head, in-
cluding the native population who use no imported

_timber.

Considering that no saw-timber is produced in South Africa, with
a large agricultural population, an extensive system of railroads and
public works and the greatest mining district in the world, the annual
importations of timber do not seem sufficient. Timber is sparingly
used throughout South Africa. There are three reasons for the grudg-
ing use of timber :—

1. The high price.

2. The sale of timber is not pushed.

3. Timber is considered as a temporary material in comparison
with substitutes that may be used at the same or less cost.

Timber is inevitably high in price in South Africa.
five causes for this. :

(a) Sources of Supply :—The nearest important sources of supply
are Sweden and America. The freight rates from Sweden are normally
$10 per thousand feet board measure, and the freight rates from Can-
ada and the United States are normally $15 per thousand.

(b) Profits Demanded by Importers:—In the case of a timber
which could otherwise be landed for sale at a low cost the profits
demanded by the importers are unduly high. Douglas fir 3-inch by

36 cents per cubic foot or 634 cents per lineal foot of 3-inch by 9-inch,
Swedish deals are landed in normal times to sell at 47 cents per cubic
foot or 9 cents per lineal foot of 3-inch by 9-inch. The custom amongst
importers has always been to keep the price up by taking a larger
profit on the Douglas fir and selling both Douglas fir and Swedish
deals at approximately the same price. The purchaser in South Africa
thus loses the benefit he would otherwise derive from the presence
on the market of a cheap timber such as Douglas fir. Throughout the

Conditions Which Restrict Its Use—How They Can Be Removed—
Scandinavian Imports Favored

Mr. H. R. MacMillan.

WOODWORKER April 1, 1916

country it is customary for the importer to secure
approximately 4 cents profit on Douglas fir and %
to 1 cent profit on Swedish deals, per lineal foot
of 3-inch by 9-inch. ¥
(c) The Re-sawing of Imported Stock:—The
custom in South Africa is to import timber in the
shape of deals and logs, which are carried in stock
by the importers, chiefly at the coast ports, and to
re-saw these stocks to the order of the purchasers
Most of the Douglas fir, whether imported in tim-—
bers or 3-inch by 9-inch deals, is re-sawn before
being used, except in the case of mining timbers.
Large quantities of Swedish 3-inch by 9-inch deals —
are also re-sawn into 3-inch by 4%-inch, 14-inch by —
9-inch, l-inch by 9-inch, and 2%-inch by 3-inch. —
The sawing is usually done by the importer. The
charges levied, though now decreasing, are very —
high. For cutting a 3-inch by 9-inch deal into 1¥%-
inch by 9-inch or l-inch by 9-inch, the charge is $1
for each hundred lineal feet of saw cut for Swedish
deal and $1.25 for Douglas fir. For cutting a 3-inch —
by 9-inch deal into 3-inch by 4%-inch or 24-inch —
by 3-inch the charge is 50 cents for each 100 lineal
feet saw cut for Swedish deal and 60 cents for
Douglas fir. These charges vary slightly, but those quoted fairly
represent the cost. In some districts Douglas fir is now cut for the
same price as Swedish deals. i ae

These charges for sawing perhaps do not represent an inordinate
profit to the importer. Only small lots are sawn at a time, the plant
is continually kept changing from one job to another and one size to —
another. The mills being small cannot be operated on the same basis
of cheapness as is the case in lumber producing countries. 7

The sizes in use in South Africa are fewer than is the case in a
Canada. A great saving would result if these sizes were imported
ready cut and carried in stock. The only objection is the probable —
loss through the checking or warping of the smaller dimensions when
piled in the yards in the very hot, dry and destructive climate of the —
coast towns. It was observed, however, that a tendency exists to in-
crease the proportion of ready manufactured sizes imported, particu-
larly in Scandinavian goods where several of the sizes smaller than
3-inch by 9-inch may now be purchased 25 per cent. cheaper tharf the
3-inch by 9-inch, a concession doubtless inspired by the desire of the
Scandinavian shipper to utilize the small trees.

(d) Climatic Effects :—The climate of South Africa, coupled with
a certain amdunt of careless handling in the yards, assists to increase
the cost of timber. Lumber piled in the open is exposed to months of
hot sun and parching wind. Nevertheless, although lumber this year
in South Africa is worth on the average over $40 per thousand at the
coast, an incredibly large proportion of it was piled in the open, with-
out cover of any kind, without sticking, on poor or no foundations
and with little care given to the location or situation of the piles. The
losses from checks in re-sawing timbers in some of the railway work-
shops have run between 30 and 50 per cent. Large proportions of
stocks carried by the importers are on hand several months or a year
and losses occurring necessarily figure in the selling price of the timber.

_ (e) Inland Rail Freights:—The inland rail freight rates greatly
increase the cost of timber to the great bulk of the population. The ~

timber imported into South Africa is landed at six ports as follows:— _

*The importations through Delagoa Bay are usually equal to or
greater than those through Cape Town.

Small quantities for Rhodesia are imported through Beira.

Over nine-tenths of the population of the country lives inland. |
The large towns and many of the best agricultural districts are 300
miles and more inland. The freight rates on imported timber are,
generally speaking, twice as high as on domestic timber even though _

April 1, 1916

there is as yet no domestic saw-timber. The general level of freight
rates may be judged from a few instances.
Cape Town to Hutcheson—419 miles—rate on rough lumber, 37
cents per 100 pounds.
East London to Bloemfontein—404 miles—rate on rough lumber,
42 cents per 100 pounds.
Durban to Johannesburg—482 miles—rate on rough lumber, 72
cents per 100 pounds.
The cost of Douglas fir delivered to the yard in Johannesburg is
approximately twice the cost c.i.f. at Durban.
The rate on dressed lumber is approximately twice the rate on
rough lumber. Freight is charged on rough Douglas fir at the rate
of 3 pounds per foot board measure.

™ At may be readily seen that in South Africa the cost of lumber to
_ the consumer is very high indeed. Even such large purchasers as
mines, railroad departments and construction companies pay high
prices. In 1913 the South African railways, buying by the cargo, pa‘d
at the coast $40 per thousand feet for third and fourth grade Swedish
- 3-inch by 9-inch deals, and $37.50 for merchantable Oregon logs. The
price to the house-builder or farmer in the interior is very much
higher. The average individual purchaser in the farming districts
of the country before the war paid 14 cents per lineal foot for fourth
grade Swedish 3-inch by 9-inch, or $62.20 per thousand feet. Douglas
fir deals or timbers at that time cost the farmer or resident of the small
town over 200 miles from the coast slightly more. The prices in 1915
have risen to about $80 per thousand for both Swedish and Douglas
fir, common grades.

The small quantity of native timber in the country does not exert
any tendency to decrease prices. The Government sells standing tim-
ber, situated miles from a railroad, in a forest of mixed species where
only one or two species can be logged and operating costs are high,

_ for as much as $20 per thousand feet. The average price of all log
timber sold by the Government is $6.60 per thousand feet on the
stump. The cost of logging and manufacture in South Africa is much
higher than it is in Canada.

The Importing and Selling of Timber

The conditions under which the timber business is handled are
not likely to promote an increased demand.

The importing is done by merchants who carry stocks, and not
by agents or brokers. In the case of White Sea and Vladivostok tim-
bers or Douglas fir, which because of the lack of a regular liner service
must be imported in cargo lots, the number of importers is very small,
only two or three in each of the five ports serving the country. In
the case of Scandinavian or Finland timber, which may be brought
forward regularly in lines fortnightly to any important South African
port in quantities of 10,000 board feet or more, a larger number of
firms are engaged in importing, and small quantities are imported
direct by the builders.

Over 80 per cent. of the timber stocks in the country are carried
at the coast in order to avoid investing further capital in the payment
of rail freight before the timber is needed. The only timber yards
in the interior are at the mines, the railway workshops and compara-
tively small stocks carried by dealers in Johannesburg and several of
the larger towns for the supplying of immediate wants. In towns of
less than 5,000 population there are no lumber yards and no stocks
of lumber. Anyone desirous of purchasing lumber does so from a price
list or catalogue through the general merchant, who sends the order
forward to the wholesaler at the coast. Great delay therefore some-
times results in getting timber. A public works engineer in an interior

town was three months securing a Douglas fir stick 12 inches by 12

inches by 26 feet. .

When inquiries are made by probable purchasers the timber mer-
chants endeavor to get the business. But no efforts are made to en-
courage the use of timber. This absence of selling initiative and
energy causes timber to lose ground with both large and small pur-
chasers. .

The railroads, mines, public works and harbor departments are

_ constantly besieged by trained representatives of steel and concrete
industries, demonstrating the advantages of using such products in-
stead of timber. After the sales are made and steel and concrete are
in use these same representatives are continually on the ground to
_ Observe the service rendered by their products, head off complaints,

study faults and suggest improvements to the manufacturer in order
_ that the quality of the product may be continually improved.

____ The small purchaser is similarly affected. Both the wholesaler
__ and the retailer through whom the lumber is distributed to the builder
d the farmer in the cities, towns and countries, carry timber as more
less of a side line. They are also agents for and carry stocks of
ugated iron, cement and other substitutes; in fact the retailer
1 towns always carries these materials in stock, whereas he rarely
ies lumber in stock. The situation, therefore, is that in a large
on of cases if the builder in a South African town wants lum-

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 29

ber he can get it only after effort and delay, whereas cement, metal
and other substitutes are ready at hand.

The chief substitutes for lumber in South Africa are galvanized
iron, bricks, cement and stone. Galvanized iron was sold in normal
times for $40 per ton at the coast, or $47.60 per thousand feet super-
ficial measurement. The freight to interior points is less per super-
ficial foot for galvanized iron than for lumber. Galvanized iron lasts
fifteen to twenty years and may be put up very rapidly on a light
wooden framework. It has almost displaced inch boards in South
Africa; it is used universally for roofing, excepting on a few public
buildings and very costly residences. Galvanized iron siding is the
most common material for native quarters in the towns and cities,
warehouses, factories, mine buildings, preliminary farm buildings;
it is also used for tight fencing.

Bricks.—Every town in the country has its brickyard, and every
farmer makes his own bricks. Sun-dried bricks are used for native
huts in the country, for farm buildings and for partitions in town
and city dwellings. Kiln-burned bricks are the most common material
for city buildings. Bricks are made and laid by native labor, and in
the dry climate even sun-dried bricks last several decades, both for
interior and exterior walls; where used in exterior walls they are
plastered.

Cement and Stone—Cement is manufactured in South Africa and
retails in the interior and coast cities at $1.25 to $1.75 per bag. The
country abounds in easily-worked building stone. Public works, the
better class of dwellings and many farm buildings are stone or cement.

It is inevitable that where timber prices are high and substitutes
cheap and durable, timber will be sparingly used. At present, timber
is used only for false-work, or as a framing or trimming for other con-
struction materials. There is no doubt, however, but that under pro-
per direction the use of Canadian timber in South Africa may be
greatly increased.

Sources of Imported Timber

The chief countries upon which South Africa depends for her tim-
ber supply are shown herewith, with approximate values of imports
from each for 1914 :—

United Kingdom ... 112,656
United States ... 105,663
Catiada ... 63,377
Russia ... 43,740

Australia owes her pre-eminence in the list to Jarrah construction
timbers and railway sleepers. The chief commodities from Sweden
and Norway are 3-inch by 9-inch deals, flooring, ceiling and box
shooks. The supplies from the United Kingdom consist principally
of sleepers, sash and doors, handles and box shooks transhipped to
South Africa from other countries. The United States supplies pitch-
pine, Douglas fir, oak, sash and doors, handles and dressed lumber.
The importations from Canada are practically confined to Douglas

fir, Eastern Canadian deals and dressed lumber. Russia supplies
White Sea deals.

From the standpoint of quantity and imports the most important
part of the timber trade of South Africa is that listed under the head-
ings “Pine” and “Unspecified unmanufactured goods.” This class is
also most important to Canada as it includes general building and con-
struction timbers, the classes in which Canadian shippers can com-
pete to the best advantage. The approximate origin of importations
of this nature is shown below :—

The small quantities of building
countries are of little importance.

The quantity of rough lumber imported during the past five years
has remained fairly constant, averaging in value $500,000 per year.
The Canadian share of the trade has, however, diminished, dropping
from $74,000 in value in 1910 to $32,000 in value in 1913; the decrease
is probably due to a decrease in imports of Eastern Canadian deals,
the supply of which in each year is taken up to a greater extent by

timbers secured from other

30 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

the United Kingdom and the United States. The share of the United
States in this trade also shows a tendency to diminish.

Two General Classes Imported

The timber imported may be divided into two general classes :— _

1. Lumber used in buildings.

2. Timbers used in public works, bridges, harbors and mines.

Building. Timber.—The universal building lumber of South Africa
for years has been Scandinavian or Russian deals. The chief size im-
ported is 3-inch by 9-inch, the most popular lengths are 11 feet, 12
feet, 13 feet, 14 feet, a small proportion of lengths from 15 feet to 18
feet, and as many 19 feet to 24 feet lengths or longer as can be secured ;
odd lengths are desired. A small proportion of the import consists
of 41%4-inch by 3-inch, 3-inch by 2-inch, 11%4-inch by 41%4-inch. Though
’ these sizes are landed $5 to $7.50 less per thousand feet than the 3-inch
by 9-inch, the merchant prefers to import the 3- inch by 9-inch and re-
saw it as required. Small quantities are also imported of 3-inch by

11-inch, 4-inch by 9-inch, 2-inch by 9-inch, 1%4-inch by 9-inch and

smaller fractions sawn from 3-inch by 9- inch.

The grades imported are thirds, fourths and fifths and correspond
in qualities and uses to the “unsorted” from Eastern Canada and the
“merchantable” and “common” of Western Canada.

The chief uses for Scandinavian and Russian deals are joists,
rafters and plates in roofing (studding and planking), and for the
local manufacturers of interior finish. The common sizes for joists
are 3-inch by 9-inch and 1'%-inch by 9-inch. Rafters, studding and
roof plates (to support plaster walls and galvanized roofs) are usually
1%4-inch by 4%-inch, 2-inch by 3-inch and 3-inch by 4%-inch.

Advantages of Scandinavian Article

The position now held in South Africa by Scandinavian and Rus-
sian deals is one which should to a very large extent be held by Can-
adian timber. The present advantages of the Scandinavian article are:

1. The ease with which it may be purchased.

As pointed out above, a direct fortnightly liner service exists
between Scandinavian mills and South African ports. Any merchant
or builder could, before the war, write or cable for 20,000 feet or more
of any specification and delivery would be made within six weeks of
the receipt of the order. The trade had been established for many
years and all important builders or timber merchants in South Africa
are in touch with Scandinavian shippers from whom they can secure
regular monthly shipments of timber without being put to the expense
of carrying a large stock.

The case with either Eastern Canadian deals or Douglas fir has
been different; it is impossible to buy Douglas fir except by the full
cargo, which restricts importation to those ready to invest large sums
of money several months before the delivery of the timber. The same
has been true concerning the purchase of Eastern Canadian deals
though conditions are improving since it has been possible to import
parcels by regular monthly sailings. If Eastern Canadian shippers
have a surplus for export and can secure transportation when freight
conditions become normal they will readily improve their trade by
getting in touch through the Trade Commissioner at Cape Town
with reliable firms of importers. The sentiment of the trade is in favor
of using Canadian timber.

The inevitable result, when the small builder or merchant can
buy Scandinavian timber direct, but must go to the large companies
for Canadian timber, is that he imports the Scandinavian for himself
and only uses or buys the other when he must.

A regular service from Western Canada to South African ports
would bring Douglas fir within reach of the small importer in South
Africa.

Smaller Margin of Profit

2. Scandinavian timber is handled on a smaller margin of profit.

The one advantage possessed by Douglas fir as compared with
Scandinacian timber is its cheapness. The average cost landed at
African port of the mixed third and fourth grade Swedish used, was,
in normal times, $39.15 per thousand feet.
Douglas fir was $30 per thousand feet. A large number of builders
and merchants are importing Scandinavian timber in every port, but
the trade in Douglas fir is restricted to the few who can finance it.
The importers of Douglas fir usually charge about four times as high
a profit per lineal foot on Douglas fir as is charged on Swedish timber.
In normal times, the profit charged on Swedish was $4.50 per thous-
and, and on Douglas fir $18 to $19 per thousand, exclusive of any
charge for re-sawing. The result of this system has been to keep
Douglas fir prices higher than those of Swedish. Were the same profit
charged on each, Swedish would sell at about $43.75, and Douglas
fir at about $34. 50. The quantity of Douglas fir used would immedi-
ately be doubled or trebled.

Government Purchases

3. Canadian timber was not accepted by the railroads and Goy-
ernment departments.
The railroads, all of which are Govertivienn uated and the Public

The average cost of the

- oe

April 1, 1916 —
Works Department, are the largest purchasers in South Africa of
building lumber. All purchases are made by tender and few merchants —
can hope to do a large business unless they are able to secure a share
of the railroad and government business. The largest purchases made
by the railroads are for joists, studding and rafters in buildings, for
sides and roofs of freight cars and for planking and decking on plat-
forms and bridges. For years Scandinavian timber has been exclusive
ly specified for the railroad requirements, and offerings of Eastern Can2)
adian deals, even at lower prices, have been refused. The effect on —
Canadian trade has been serious and has been felt in two directions.
Merchants not being able to sell Canadian deals to their largest cus
tomers have not stocked them. Carpenters and builders who have h
railroad experience carry the prejudice against Canadian deals ir
private employment, and as a result the timber has been discredi
throughout the country. Fortunately, Mr. Egan, Trade Commissio
Cape Town, was successful in having Canadian red déals used exp
mentally in the railroad shops for coach building a few months a
They were found satisfactory and assurance was given by the offic
that henceforth Canadian deals would be accepted i in competition
Swedish deals.

Fairly large quanitiies of timber have been used by the railr
for car flooring, sills and running boards. Pitch-pine alone has be
used for these purposes. The officials in the car shops have believ
that Douglas fir was unsuitable and have refused to accept it. Si
has been their faith in their opinions that in October, 1915, wh
pitch-pine could not be secured for a certain car shop, they refu
new sound Douglas fir offered them at $60 per thousand feet and paic d
$100 per thousand feet for second-hand pitch-pine from old buildings, | ;
which could only be re-sawn and used at considerable loss. This ques-
tion was taken up with the general manager and engineering staff
of the railroad and arrangements made that selected Douglas fir should —
be given a trial for freight car building purposes, for use in situations
where pitch-pine, Swedish deals and teak are now used. Should such
a trial’prove satisfactory, as there is no reason to doubt, the effect on
the reputation of the timber in South Africa will be great.

Arrangements were also made with the railroad officials that
hereafter they will accept Douglas fir for joists, studding, etc., in
buildings in competition with Scandinavian deals. This also will have —
a valuable effect upon the general standing of the timber.

One car shop uses 600,000 board feet of pitch-pine, 600,000 board
feet of Swedish deals a year, and no Douglas fir. Large quantities |
of teak, costing $2.50 per cubic foot, are also used. The pitch-pine is
used for freight car flooring. Flooring boards 7-foot 6-inch by 7-inch —
by 2%-inch edge, grained cost 72 cents to $1.20 each when ready for
use in the shops. Swedish deals are used for siding, ends and roofing —
in freight cars. Siding boards 2-inch by 6-inch, 8-inch by 11-foot, 12-
foot, 13-foot, 16-foot and*17-foot cost on the average $1.10 to $1.32 —
each when ready to use in the shop. Douglas fir of equal grades equal
to fully as severe a service can certainly be dehvens to the railroad,
shops at a lower price.

Teak is now used in the framing of passenger coaches for site
4-inch by 14-inch by 63-ft., cant rails 34-inch by 5%4-inch by 63-ft.,
and bottom sides 3%-inch by 10-inch by 63-ft. As teak cannot be
secured in such long lengths they are spliced each once or twice. Ad-
mittedly climatic conditions under which South African coaches oper- |
ate are severe, yet clear or selected Douglas fir well seasoned and
manufactured should readily compete both for service and price. Teak —
uprights and finish are also used on passenger coaches.

Scandinavian Timber Known
4. The strength of Scandinavian timber is known.

A belief exists amongst builders, engineers and architects, though
no facts can be brought forward to support it, that Scandinavian 3-inch —
by 9-inch deals are stronger and more reliable than either Canadian ~
red or white deals or Douglas fir. Consequently, Scandinavian deal
are always specified, except where lengths over 24 or 26 feet are re-
quired, when Douglas fir is used from necessity. The prospects |
Canadian timber in the South African market would be improved
comparative tests were conducted on 3-inch by 9-inch dimensions
the various grades of Swedish (particularly third and fourth grades
Eastern Canadian and Douglas fir deals, and the results Scie
South African engineers, builders and architects. j

The effect of prejudice and ignorance of Douglas fir was clear
shown recently in Cape Town. A certain steamship company wh
fitting up a large number of transports would not use Douglas fir’
rifle racks even though it was offered at $7.50 per thousand
cheaper than Swedish deals; they feared that Douglas fir was ne
strong enough and Swedish was used. i

Swedish Timber Better Manufactured

Any shipper desirous of competing permanently in the South African
market should send only timber true to size; if this is not done the
business will be lost. A variation of one-quarter inch on 25 per cent.
of the timber in the 3-inch by 9-inch size is the most that should be
allowed.

6. This belief is firmly rooted throughout South Africa. Were it
not so the use of Douglas fir would be several times as great.

Ontario Lands and Forests Report .

The report of the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines for the
province of Ontario for the year ending October 31, 1915. has just
been presented.

* The revenue accrued from woods and forests for the year ending
31st October, 1915, was $1,629,640.60, a decrease of $379,481.83. The
falling off is due almost entirely to decrease in number of railway ties
taken out, 729,164 being taken out last season as against 5,439,845 the
previous season.

The revenue collected during the year from woods and forests
amounted to $1,528,104.82, a decrease of $146,783.11.

The revenue from timber dues was $928,351.38, a decrease oi
$184,129.00 as compared with last year.

The collections on account of bonus amounted to $507,241.43. an
increase of $53,074.19 over that of the preceding year.

The collections from ground rentals amounted to $89,952.01 which
is $13,958.30 less than amount collected from same source for the
year ending October 31st, 1914.

The revenue from transfer fees was $2,560.00 as against $4,330.00
for preceding year.

The area under license last year was 15,71134 square miles, a re-
duction in area of 1,621% square miles. The area under license
varies from year to year for the following reasons: Areas cut over are
dropped from the license; license does not issue on account of non-
payment of ground rent; failure on the part of licensees to pay timber
dues owing. ‘i 4

_ There was surrendered during the year 602% square miles.
licenses were issued for territory covering 312 square miles.

National Wholesalers Hold Annual

Association Made Good Progress During a Strenuous
Year—W, W. Knight the New President

The National Wholesale Lum-
ber Dealers’ Association held
their 24th annual convention at
Philadelphia on March 15th and
16th. The president, Mr. Gor-
don C. Edwards of Ottawa, in his
address stated that much work
had been done in co-operation
with other lumber organizations
to promote the use of lumber by
means of advertising and in other
ways so as to combat the unfair
arguments used against forest
products. During the past two
years, while Mr. Edwards was
president of the Association, it
had successfully weathered the
great industrial crisis and was
still splendidly equipped to look
after the interests of its mem-
bers. He dealt also with the
situation in connection with ex-
port trade which had decreased
ereatly on account of high ocean

G. C. Edwards, Retiring President
of National Wholesalers

freight rates and the difficulty of getting space in freight ships. This

was a problem that the trade ought to consider seriously, because the

lumber exported under normal conditions must be absorbed in the
home market under such abnormal conditions. In conclusion, Mr.
Edwards referred with great pleasure to his connection with the
Association as its president, stating that the two years during which
he occupied this position had been most agreeable and that he was
grateful for the loyal support he had received from the members.

Mr. E. F. Perry, secretary of the Association, presented an inter-
esting report during which he spoke chiefly of the various lines of
work carried on by the Association. Its influence had been strongly
exerted in connection with credits, fair dealing and correct trade rules.
The Association was now stronger than at any previous time in its
history. Speaking of advertising the secretary stated that: the
Association officers were studying the situation with a view to adver-
tising lumber and its uses, but before much could be done along this
line, other important matters must be attended to. While competi-
tion would always have a tendency to change prices, regular methods
such as drawing up standard sizes, terms of sale, freight rates adjusted
to value, etc.. would produce greater stability and greater efficiency.
In his opinion, before the lumbermen of the country should spend
large sums in advertising lumber as against substitutes, they should
spend a liberal amount in trying to find standards along the lines sug-
gested. If from $5,000 to $10,000 were properly spent they could
give the architects and builders a lumber code that could be under-
stood and that would net a big return to lumber shippers. Many
lumbermen were still relying on merchandizing methods that were in
vogue years ago, but with all the other business interests of the
country advancing along sound, economic and commercial lines the
lumber business must wake up or it would be left far behind.

Interesting reports were presented by the Bureau of Information,
the Committee on Trade Rules, the Committee on Terms of Sale and
Trade Ethics, the Committee on Forestry, the Committee on Fire In-
surance, the Committee on Workmen’s Compensation and the Com-
mittee on Coastwise Insurance.

The Committee on Terms of Sale and Trade Ethics reported that
the terms adopted and approved by the Association had been adopted
by a majority of the members, and the terms under which they pro-
posed to sell their goods were 1% per cent. discount within fifteen
days from date of invoice, or sixty days net. These terms were fair
and reasonable to all parties. Terms of sale in all cases ought to be
considered part of the contract and to apply with equal force as the
other questions of price, quantity and quality. The committee com-
mended to the members the code of ethics adopted by the Lumber
Trades Congress which embraced the most important matters relating
to dealings between lumbermen.

Mr. R. S. Kellogg, secretary of the National Lumber Manufac-
turers’ Association delivered an address upon Trade Extension and
the Utilization of Lumber. In the course of his remarks he said that

prices, production and terms of sale should be standardized. The
scheme of trade-marking lumber had made a good beginning. The

whole output of the Southern Cypress Manufacturers’ Association
would soon be trade-marked and each mill would have a serial number
that would identify the source of product. This would be followed
soon by the trade-marking of red and white shingles, hemlock and

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

April 1, 1916

other products. Ile believed that the trade-mark would do more —
than anything else to ensure the consumer getting uniformity of pro-
duction. It meant a great step in advance in the merchandizing of —
lumber. Advertising to the consumer would then create a definite
demand for trade-marked lumber. He reported that a fairly adequate
sum of money was already in sight for extensive advertising of this
nature. The Southern Cypress Manufacturers’ Association had ar-
ranged an annual expenditure of $100,000; the Southern Pine Associa-
tion $100,000; The Western Pine Manufacturers $100,000; The Red
Cedar people $60,000; North Carolina Pine Manufacturers $25,000; —
Committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association —
$60,000, which would doubtless be increased. These totals, however,
were too small, compared with the size of the industry and its im-—
portance. The cement industry, with one-sixth of the value of the
lumber product, had available three-quarters of a million dollars an-_
nually for publicity. ;

The Nominating Committee offered the names of the following
for trustees for terms expiring in 1918: Gorden C. Edwards, Ottawa,
Ont.; Charles Hill, New York; H. I. George, Buffalo, N. Y.; C. I. Mile
lard, Norfolk, Va.; T. A. Washington, Nashville, Tenn.; C. A. Good-
man, Marinette, Wis.; J. W. McClure, Memphis, Tenn. For terms
expiring in 1919—F, R. Babcock, Pittsburgh, Pa.; L. L. Barth, Chi-
cago; J. Randall Williams, jr., Philadelphia, Pa.; R. L. Palmer, Bos-
ton, Mass.; T. M. Brown, Louisville, Ky.; Horace F. Taylor, Buffalo,
N. Y.; W. S. Harland, Lockhart, Ala. The election of these was
unanimous.

e? Randall Williams, sr., placed in nomination W. W. Knight, of
Indianapolis, Ind., for president. The nomination was heartily sec-
onded by J. V. Stimson, of Huntingburg, Ind. Mr. Knight was de-

clared president and was introduced by retiring President Edwards as —

his successor amid a roar of applause. The new executive responded

in a brief expression of thanks.

A meeting of the board of trustees was held immediately after the —

adjournment of the general session. This elected M. E. Preisch, of
Buffalo, first vice president; B. Franklin Betts second vice president.
Henry Cape, treasurer, and E. F. Perry, secretary, were re-elected to
their respective positions. |The trustees confirmed the choice of the
convention in electing W. W. Knight president. W. W. Schupner
was ordered continued as the head of the bureau of information.

May: Soon Re-open Panama Canal

Announcement by Col. Harding, acting governor of the Panama
Canal zone, that conditions in the Gaillard cut justify predictions that
the canal will be available for passage of large ships April 15, would
be expected to have an immediate effect on the lumber market under
conditions other than those which now preyail regarding ocean ship-
ping. With Eastern terminals practically closed for the time being
to rail shipments from the south and west the re-opening of the canal
would mean a heavy movement of lumber from the Pacifie Coast to

eastern markets, but if western mills have not better facilities at their

hands than are’ now available at Atlantic and Gulf ports, there seems
very small chance of Pacific Coast mills flooding eastern markets.
Even such shipments as southern mills have found ships to carry have
been delayed on arriving at North Atlantic ports because of the con-
gestion on the docks and the inability of the carriers to switch or move
inland such cargoes as were unloaded.

More Ungraded Resawed Two Inch Hemlock

e time past the practice of resawing two-inch hemlock

yn of the retail trade have also taken the same view. The

olution as adopted was as follows:
our committee appointed to draft a resolution embodying
regarding the practice of marketing the product of 2-inch
stuff resawed, firmly believe that our best interests
mserved by forever eliminating from our product the re-
ff gerade, and further believe that it would be the height
d our money advertising this product. We also be-
riends, the retailers and consumers, will agree with us
nderstand that we are going to give them grades that

that can be reinspected by our inspectors, that every
used in the grade in which it belongs and for the purpose
will give the trade much greater satisfaction than our

d of directors also instructed the sales managers’ com-
e bureau of grades to do all in their power to make this

if they so desire, but if this is done, the stock should
a strictly board grade and the boards should be

Lake States Lumber Production

The Lake States produced nearly 4,000,000,000 feet of lumber in
1914, which was a gain of 52,000,000 feet over 1913. This is a unique
distinction for this lumbering region since both the south and west
suffered a loss in output as compared with 1913, Minnesota is
responsible for the gain, contributing 163,000,000 feet more than in
1913 and taking second place away from Michigan. In Michigan
there was a slight decrease amounting to 114 per cent. In Wisconsin
the decrease amounted to over 100,000,000 feet, or nearly 7 per cent.
However, Wisconsin still retains first position among the Lake States
in lumber production and produced 1,391,000,000 board feet in 1914.
The number of active mills reporting in 1914 was 1,181, as against

' 1,498 in 1913.

The following table shows the lumber sawed in the three states
in 1914, 1913 and 1912 :—

Twenty-two different species contributed to the lumber produc-
tion in the Lake States in 1914. In Michigan and Wisconsin, hemlock
yielded the largest amount of lumber. In Minnesota white pine sup-
plied nearly 90 per cent. of the total for the State. In Michigan the
softwoods, which include hemlock, white pine, tamarack, spruce,
balsam fir, and cedar, yielded over 576,000,000 feet ; in Wisconsin over
864,000,000 feet, and in Minnesota 1,258,634,000 feet, or 95 per cent.
of the total production for that State. Cottonwood was the only hard-
wood that contributed appreciably to the lumber output of Minnesota.

Hemlock in Michigan and Wisconsin suffered a loss of 100,000,000
feet, or ten per cent., as compared with 1913. The total of 1,423,000,000
feet of white pine sawed in the three states is a loss of 95,000,000 feet.
White pine declined over 85,000,000 feet in Wisconsin, but made a
gain of 81,000,000 feet in Minnesota.

Mills producing annually 10,000,000 feet each reported a total
production of 2,864,000,000 feet, or 70 per cent. of the output in the
Lake States.

Prosperity Ahead for British Columbia

Mr. A. E. Rosevear of Winnipeg, general freight agent of the

Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, during a recent visit to British Colum-

bia, stated that after the war many millions of ties and immense
quantities of timber would be required for railroad construction and
for re-construction purposes in Europe. “Already shipments of lum-
ber to Europe have been very large,” he said. “Through the Seattle
gateway alone heavy consignments have been shipped to Rtssia for
railroad purposes, and when the war is over the demands will be many
times multiplied. There should certainly be a great trade in lumber
out of British Columbia to Europe when the war is through with.”

Encouraging reports were coming in from the Prairies. Farmers
were buying freely and there would soon be a heavy demand for lum-
ber from the northwest.

Increasing Use of Treated Wood Block

A Market for Canadian Woods That Has Been Greatly Neglected—How the Materials sa
Are Produced and Used wa 4

By W. G. Mitchell* b

During the past decade there has been a steadily increasing inter-
est among municipal highway engineers in the possibilities of creosoted
wood block paving for city streets. During the same time there has
been, in the United States particularly, a corresponding increase 1n
the use of this type of pavement. This may be attributed to a number
of factors. The general recognition of the economic importance of
good roads and street surfaces has attracted to this field the attention
of competent engineers of specialized training and experience, result-
ing in the development of marked improvements in practice. This
has been accompanied by, or indeed perhaps, has been responsible
for a public demand for higher standards in the maintenance of city
streets. Again, during this time, there has been a considerable in-
crease in volume, and a marked change in the character of city street
traffic. The general use of heavy motor-driven vehicles particularly
has imposed exacting service requirements upon street pavements, and
these requirements have not been entirely met by some types of pave-
ment which were satisfactory under former traffic conditions. Again,
referring more particularly to conditions in the United States, there
has been a most striking development in the wood preserving industry,
due in part to economic demand, and in part to improvements in
methods and practice of the preservative treatment of timber. This
development, marked by the establishment of commercial timber treat-
ing plants throughout the country, has made it possible to obtain
creosoted wood paving blocks at reasonable cost in practically any
locality. But, apart from the factors noted above, all of which have
contributed in directing favorable attention to wood block paving, the
very encouraging service results which have been realized with this
type of pavement have been responsible in largest measure for its in-
creased use. The history of creosoted wood block paving has not
been free from failures, but it may be noted with satisfaction that these
failures have been made the subject of careful observation and experi-
mental study, not only by those associated with commercial interests,
but also by independent technical investigators. Asa result the causes
of many of these early difficulties have been located, whether in meth-
ods of treating blocks or in design and construction of pavement, and
improvements in practice have been made accordingly.

Increased Use of Wood Block Paving in United States
Referring further to the marked increase in the use of wood block

paving in the United States, it may be of interest to quote from statis—

tics compiled and published by the United States Forest Service. In
1909, the total amount of timber treated as paving blocks for use in
cities of the United States was 2,994,290 cubic feet, equivalent approxi-
mately to 1,150,000 square yards of pavement. In 1914, the timber
treated for this purpose was 6,869,370 cubic feet, equal to about 2,617,-
000 square yards. In 1911 the reported area of creosoted wood block
pavement in service in a number of the larger representative cities of
that country was as follows:—New York, 650,000 square yards;
Chicago, 700,000 square yards; Minneapolis, 950,000 square yards;
Indianapolis, 500,000 square yards, and Cincinnati, 375,000 square
yards. These figures constitute a substantial and convincing evidence
of the fact that the merits of creosoted wood block. paving for city
streets have been proved beyond question.

Referring to the present use of wood block paving in England,
and more particularly in London, as the world’s greatest metropolitan
district, it is interesting to note that creosoted wood block paving has
there reached its most successful development. The significance of
this statement can be appreciated fully when the traffic conditions
of some of the principal thoroughfares of London are understood.
Mr. Henry W. Durham, Chief Engineer of the Bureau of Highways,
Borough of Manhattan, New York, commissioned in 1913 to make a
personal investigation of paving materials and pavement construction
and maintenance in European cities, in a report recently published,
notes with reference to the wood block pavements of London—*....
a large extent of softwood pavements on its principal thoroughfares.
(Borough of Westminster). The last are probably the finest pave-
ments in the world. Particularly good is that on Parliament Street
and Whitehall from Parliament Square to Trafalgar Square. It car-
ries a heavy traffic, principally motor omnibuses and other motor
vehicles. Having less traffic but a very extensive one of pleasure
vehicles of all classes is the Mall, extending from the Admiralty Arch
at Charing Cross to Buckingham Palace. This is also wood block
on concrete foundation and presented the nearest approach to a perfect
street surface observed anywhere.” This favorable testimony from

an independent and critical observer, is worthy of the careful consider-
ation of Canadian highway engineers and others interested in the prob-
lem of city street paving. It is also significant to note in passing that
the Baltic or Scotch pine heretofore used almost exclusively for the
construction of creosoted softwood block pavements in England is
all imported timber. The successful development and extensive use
of creosoted wood paving in English cities in spite of the lack of avz
able domestic supply of timber is a striking tribute to its superiority

History of Wood Block Paving

It may be well to consider briefly the history of the developmen
of wood block paving. Untreated wood block pavements were in
in England at least eighty years ago. In the United States and Ca
such pavements, generally built of round blocks, were quite wi
used as early as 1850, and some cases of such pavements were to
found as recently as fifteen or twenty years ago. These blocks w
laid on plank foundations or in some cases on macadam foundatio
only. These pavements obviously could not be entirely satisfac
but they served a useful purpose during a certain development pe
in the United States and Canada. Later untreated rectangular »
blocks were adopted. This was an improvement in some respe
but early failure of such pavements from decay of blocks was the in-
evitable result. Later the development and more general use of pre-
servative treatment of wood suggested the application of such trea
ment to wood paving blocks. According to first methods of treatm¢
adopted for this purpose, blocks were dipped in hot creosote oil. S
treatment resulted in the absorption of from two to four pounds of
oil per cubic foot of timber. This marked a distinct improvement ir
practice, and such dipped wood pavements may be considered
immediate step toward the development of modern creosoted wood
block paving. Considerable areas of dipped block pavement were —
laid in the United States and Canada with satisfactory results. There —
are such pavements still in service in Canadian cities, many of which —
are now in good condition. It may be of passing interest to note that
there are several dipped wood block bridge floors in the city of Ottawa,
laid from six to eight years ago, which have given good service, and
are at present in very satisfactory condition. However, the general
adoption of pressure methods for impregnating timber with presery- —
atives naturally led to the use of pressure treated paving blocks. Ab- —
sorptions of creosote up to 20 pounds per cubic foot may be obtained —
by such methods, and with the heavier impregnation of preservatives —
the protective value of the treatment is obviously very much increased. —
The creosote oil injected within the block serves the double purpose ©
of protecting the wood from decay and acting as a waterproof filling
material. Pressure treated blocks are now used universally for wood ~
paving, and it should be understood that claims made in this paper —
for creosoted wood block paving, refer to such methods of treatment. —

Methods of Treatment a
A brief description of the present commercial methods of treating _
paving blocks may be of interest. Blocks are cut from 3-in. or 4-in.
stock, varying in width from 5 ins. to 10 ins. The stock is planed on ©
one side to insure a straight edge, and is cut on gangs of small circular
saws, on which provision is made for adjusting saw spacing, according ~
to the depth of blocks required. In American practice, blocks are cut —
in 3-in., 31%4-in. and 4-in. depths, according to the requirements of
traffic conditions for which they are to be used. The sawn blocks
from the gang pass to the conveyor, where defective blocks—th
under size or showing heavy cracks, loose knots or decay—are
moved. Inspected blocks are carried by conveyor to cylinder bl
cars. These block cars are from 7 ft. to 9 ft. long, of cylindrical sha
5 ft. to 6 ft. in diameter, mounted on narrow gauge tracks. Cars
made with perforated steel plate sides and closing over to pri
blocks floating out in retort. Commercial pressure treating reto
or cylinders are usually 6% ft. to 7 ft, in diameter and from 120 ft
130 ft. long. They are designed for working pressures up to 250
per square inch, although operating pressures during treatment ¢
timber seldom exceed 160 Ibs. to 175 Ibs. per square inch. Retorts
charged with a train of loaded block cars. The capacity of a comm
cial retort of typical size is from 1800 to 2100 cubic feet of pay
blocks, equivalent approximately to from 600 to 700 square yards
4-in. block pavement. ‘ 5 a

After blocks are charged into retort they may be subjected to a
preliminary steaming at temperatures ranging from 225 to 240 degs. F.,
for a period of from one to three hours, as may be required. If this
feature of treatment is adopted it must be followed by a vacuum

ever, admitting the relatively high cost of wood block paving, it must
be realized that ultimate cost, estimated on service performance, and
not initial cost only, is the fair and logical basis of comparison of vari-
ous paving materials. On such a basis the economies of wood block
paving for many conditions of use are strikingly apparent. Creosoted
wood block paving is not recommended for universal use. There are
many conditions where it would not be possible to realize in service
its maximum possible economy. But where durability, comparative
noiselessness and ease of cleaning are pavement requisites of first
importance, it has a strong claim to first consideration.

Woods Suitable for Block Paving

With reference to the various wood species which have been suc-
cessfully used for creosoted wood block paving, it may be noted that
a considerable number of woods have been proved to be adapted to
such service. In England, Baltic pine has been used most extensively
and with excellent results. In the United States the woods now in
general use for paving are southern yellow pine, Norway pine, Douglas
fir, hemlock, tamarack and black gum. In Canada Norway pine, Doug-
las fir, and tamarack have been used most largely, and with good
results. In the Canadian west, Douglas fir and possibly hemlock and
tamarack will furnish the supply of timber stock for wood paving,
and it is safe to assume that there will be a marked increase in the use
of woods for such purpose. In Eastern Canada, the logical choice of
native timber for paving block stock is Norway pine. This species is
so well known to members of this association that descriptive comment
is unnecessary. However, it may be of interest to note that in struc-
tural and physical characteristics this wood resembles rather closely
the Baltic pine of Europe, the merits of which for wood paving service
have been so conclusively demonstrated in England. Norway pine, as
previously noted, is already widely and favorably known as a wood
paving block timber, both in the United States and Canada, and the
growing recognition of its merits for this purpose will undoubtedly
lead to its much more general use in this country.

It has not been the purpose of this paper to offer any detailed dis-
cussion of the more technical features of this particular field of wood
preservation, but rather to indicate in a general way the present
status of creosoted wood blocks as a modern paving material. It may
be noted that this case is but one of many in which the development
of methods of preservative treatment has made possible the more
efficient and economical use of timber, thus enabling this oldest and
most important of structural materials to hold its place under modern
requirements. ;

_ The features of the wood block paving situation of direct interest
to Canada may be briefly considered in summary. This type of pav-
ing has been very successfully developed and widely adopted in other
countries. Its merits have been proved such as to warrant its extensive
use in countries where the necessary timber stock must be imported.
Wood paving has been used sufficiently in Canada to ‘demonstrate that
it is perfectly suitable for climatic and traffic conditions here. Can-
adian highway engineers are in a position to benefit by the results
of experience where such paving has been more widely used than in
our own country. Detailed standardized specifications representative
of best present practice may be safely adopted. Canada has large
and immediately available supplies of timber suitable for this purpose.
The successful development of creosoted wood block paving has
opened a large field for the logical and economical utilization of a
part of these timber resources. Never before in the industrial history
of this country has the necessity for the most efficient development
of our natural resources been more generally appreciated than at the
present time. The possibilities of creosoted wood block paving are

therefore entitled to very careful consideration.

Mr. Robson Black, secretary of the Canadian Forestry Associa-
tion, addressed the Science Undegraduates’ Society of McGill Univer-
sity, Montreal, on March 22, on “The Progress of Forest Protection
in Canada.” Referring to the work of the St. Maurice Forest Pro-
tective Association, he stated that if the fire prevention system were
adopted in other parts of the Dominion it would result in an immense
saving. Canada had not sufficiently recognized the importance of her
wealth in forests as compared with other natural resources, although
there was now an inclination to regard more seriously the question
of forest conservation. The Dominion was behind European countries
in adopting means to protect her forests, but ahead of the United
States in this matter. -

California, the Inland Empire, and the Pacific Northwest States
again produced over 8,000,000,000 feet of lumber in 1914. This, how-
ever, was a loss of 735,000,000 feet, or eight per cent. as compared with
1913, in this important lumber- -producing region, embracing Washing-
ton, Oregon, California, Idaho and Montana. The yield was about
the same as in 1912. The figures represent returns from 1,359 active
sawmills in 1914, or 73 more than reported in 1913. In Washington
the loss was 646,000,000 feet, in Oregon 280,000,000 feet, and in Mon-
tana 40,000,000 feet. In Idaho and California the production increased.

Canada’s Problems After the War
Editor Canada Lumberman:— Toronto, March 10, 1916.

Before the tremendous task of the Allies is finished, can thought be
spared for what will follow upon peace?

Assuredly it should be, if what then ‘must happen bears as importantly
upon the future of the British Commonwealth as the war itself, and if, by
taking thought we can in anywise direct events.

One hears, not without admiration, that Germany is already organizing
for the revival and extension of trade, when trade becomes again possible
to her. If, in the face of certain and crushing defeat, this is the temper of
Germany, can we grudge time, labor and money for a matter still more vital?

The war must be followed by such poverty as the -world has never known,
and by a widespread impulse to escape from debt-laden countries to other
‘Yands; at one stroke to shake off a crushing burden of obligation, and become
sharers in wealth that the war has left untouched or possibly increased. May
it not be reckoned upon with certainty that the emigration from England
and the continental countries will only be limited by the capacity of ships to
carry the people? If this be true, will not the years after the war be important
beyond measure to Canada? We have it in our power to control, restrict,
encourage the stream of immigration; to fill up the empty places with Eng-
lish, Scotch and Irish, or with an indiscriminate horde from war-ruined
Europe; to secure for Canada an Anglo-Saxon backbone, or allow it to be-
come a conglomeration of nationalities? The choice is given us now; it will
pass, and is not likely to return.

The United States, easily the richest country in the world, offers powerful
attractions, nor.are signs lacking there of an intention to discourage a certain
class of immigration, which will naturally be diverted to us unless we guard
ourselves against it. The double tendency will operate,—to force upon us
what we do not want, and withhold from us what we desire.

The Argentine will also exercise a pull upon the people from the British
Isles, and Canada must be hospitably ready, and well prepared, if the men
of our race are to strengthen us and not be lost to the flag.

The great westward movement cannot be stayed; but it may be guided to.

a destination, and the considerations which will determine that destination
are very plain. There must be prospect of work, a chance of better condi-
tions, and some assurance that existence can be maintained till a new career is
entered upon. Only the last point need concern us; there is no doubt of the
country’s ability to sustain a vastly greater population.

Immigration will be less critical than in the past. Fleeing from intoler-
able misery and starvation (would that. it might not be so, but who can doubt
it?) they will gladly accept any opportunity of earning their bread. A large
proportion of those who seek a new home in Canada must go upon the land,
and it would be cruel to them, and unfair to ourselves, to suggest that they
could be otherwise provided for. Warned as to this they will be ready for
the adventure, but will they be fit for it?

Most of them will lack experience in agriculture, and all in the conditions
and customs of a new country. But it would surely be possible, and in a
very short time, to qualify the class of immigrants referred to, as farm hands,
at a cost quite trifling when measured by the result to themselves and to
Canada. Barracks or cantonments with suitable land might be provided in
all the provinces where the elements of farming could be learned, and some-
thing of the local ways.

These would be depots for labor required in the neighborhood, and men
could be drafted out when and where required. It is a manner of life with
which the war would have made most of them most familiar. Those with a
little capital would be supplied with information to guide them as to settling
in the different provinces, and if they could be to some extent financed in
their ventures, it would be a use of public funds bringing with the years an
increased return. Authentic accounts of labor situations everywhere would
be circulated from a central bureau, which would be charged also with the
discovery of employment for’ mechanics and domestic servants of all classes.
Existing institutions, while they are quite unable to deal with so broad a
scheme, could co- operate effectively in some respects.

' These camps, efficiently conducted, would partially support themselves;
they would bridge over the weeks or months when an immigrant is finding his
feet and seeking for work under strange skies,—ensuring him at least a roof
over his head during this depressing time, and the results attained and the
reports made would regulate the amount and kind of immigration.

‘It is said that our hospital and commissariat systems approach perfection.

If we can organize for war, and the purpose of war, can we not organize
for peace and for the sake of the generations to come? ;

Were France to contribute to this tide of humanity nothing could be —
more fortunate for us, and I doubt not that her sons would receive a like weg
come in Canada.

The question is worth thinking about. Should this bring the conclusions
that millions will soon be seeking new homes across the ocean, that some of
these will make better citizens than others, that we want the best, and pa
ticularly those of our own blood, we can hardly stop at that point and dis1
the matter from mind. It is absurdly unlikely that we will get what we want
without working for it. There is no warrant for believing that Providence
favors Canada to the extent of putting itself about to do what Canac
are not willing to foresee and ordain for themselves.

Were Germany in our shoes she would not trust to luck, and those w
scorn to borrow ideas from Germany have learned but little from this w

B. C. Shipping Problems—Trade Improving
Vancouver, B. C., March 8th, 1916.

Just a few lines from Vancouver and the West Coast of B. C. re > export :
lumber trade. +

At present the export demand for lumber is good, but we have no boats —
in which, to ship this lumber. The B. C. Government have under advisement
a plan to build possibly ten boats, but whether or not these plans are carried
out at this session of parliament remains to be seen. It is proposed to build
wooden sailing ships with auxiliary power, these boats to have a carrying ‘
capacity of 1% million feet of lumber. A very large concern from the East
have made the Government a proposition to build anywhere from ten to one
hundred boats on a tonnage basis, claiming that they would deliver the first q
boat within four months and others to be delivered every few months there-
after until the demand is supplied, but I am afraid we are not in a position to
accept this offer at present. ‘i

While we are on the subject of boats we may say:—lf some of our epee
builders in Eastern Canada would turn their attention to this section I am
satisfied they would find a new and rich field to explore. In short, we have
the timber; the mills can furnish the lumber on short notice, and there is a
demand for every foot of lumber that can be cut, running the mills at full
capacity. To justify this action we may say that the rates are sufficiently
high at this time—and will be for the next few years—to encourage independ- _
ent ship-building. We cannot hope, however, to secure all the boats we need __
without Government aid. At ‘

The lumber business generally is decidedly better than it was five or six
months ago. The price of lumber has advanced $4 per M. since my last 4
communication, and the mill men are very much. encouraged. -The demand 1
for standing timber naturally follows and a number of deals for immediate
logging purposes have been made this year, and other deals of a speculative
nature are now under way. Everything considered, we all feel encouraged,
and if we can solve the problem of securing bottoms there will be a revival of
business beyond our most sanguine expectations. Especially will this be true
if the war terminates within a reasonable period. The demand for lumber
from the Prairies has been in excess of anticipations.—C. S. Battle.

A Busy Season for B.C. Plants

Editor, Vancouver, B.C. :

A contract was made in December with a London firm to supply about —
twelve hundred tons measure of box boards. The Canadian Pacific Railway —
Company very kindly met us in the matter of freights and made a through —
rate from the coast to London, which enabled us to take on this business.

A little later on an inquiry for 320,000 ammunition cases required by the —
Imperial Government was placed before the British Columbia box manufac-
turers by the Forestry Branch of the Province, and after considerable negotia- —
tions back and forth with the Imperial Government authorities and the C. P. R.
freight department, the business was finally undertaken. |

The two orders mentioned kept the box factories going throughout thes :
months of December, January and February. Some have not as yet fully — :
completed their portion of the business. ; ‘

On account of the great cost of getting the box boards to the United
Kingdom there is but little prospect of our continuing to do any consider- —
able volume of business in that market; there is, therefore, no present occasion
for the B. C. box-makers to increase the size of their plants.

A large volume of orders for all grades of lumber, also shingles, is now
coming in to the coast mills from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) and ’

$3,252,900 as a so-called inducement for taking the contracts;

have our representatives in Parliament been wallowing in the lowest and
dirtiest of profiteering filth?

Those who give their allegiance to the Conservative party have a sore
trial to face. Those who are clean and honest must insist on a new leader
and a number of changes in the cabinet. Far better for them to go to
defeat with a clean heart and clean hands than to share in the dirty work of
their political friends. I repeat that the evidence is growing stronger that
Sir Robert Borden is the leader of the rottenest government we have ever had;
that he has failed to hold his pussy footed followers in check, and that he must
therefore give way to someone who will do so.

x K *

There are many other things besides these war contract matters which
the country want to learn about. Many of us would like to know, for in-
stance, about the lot of Canadian officers now in England, some 1,500 I am
told, who are doing nothing so far as we can learn, but are drawing their pay
just the same—living at the expense of the country.

* x *

Now that possibly the most strenuous period of the war is over, the
Government seems to be willing to make something in the way of a bluff at
protecting the Canadian people, by appearing to prohibit the export of nickel
to our enemies. Just what this bluff is based upon we may not know, but it is
said that the government’s nickel policy is really controlled by two ministers,
one at Ottawa and one at Toronto. I do not know about this, but would like
someone to ask the government about it.

* x *

In conclusion, I do not think that the Conservative party is the only one
in need of a new leader. A new leader for the Liberal party would be a
good thing too. J doubt very much whether the Liberal party will ever get
anywhere with Sir Wilfrid Laurier as its leader.

Export Markets Should be Worked More Thoroughly

Editor Canada Lumberman:— Calcutta, India, February 5, 1916.

Your issue of November 1 just arrived, the first I have seen for months.
It is excellent. I wish your paper went to all the big lumber importers in
foreign countries. I have actually run across many who express doubt that
Canada is as good a market to buy lumber in as the United States. That they
believe the United States better, regardless of what they say, is shown by the
fact that in nine months, in five countries, I have only run across (in an
expedition which has brought me in contact with all the lumber importers, too)
four importers who send enquiries direct to Canada either for lumber, timbers,
doors, shooks or other wooden articles. They all prefer to have their foreign
buying agents in the United States.

Now is the time to combine sentiment, business and our productive capa-
city and start a change.

I see B. C. Douglas fir is suggested for shell boxes in Canada. You will
be surprised to learn that Douglas fir has been the favorite wood in India for
ammunition boxes for some months. “A prophet is not without honor save

Keep the good work going, but why don’t those manufacturers, whose
capacity you so convincingly portray, export doors and box shooks instead of
letting the United States do all the trade in South Africa? They can get bona
fide enquiries any day from the Canadian Trade Commissioner, Cape Town,
South Africa. I sent some in myself—H. R. MacMillan.

Cape Breton Trade Conditions
Sydney, C. B., March 15.

During the past year the consumption of lumber in Cape Breton was not
so large as for several years previous, and the production has been larger;
consequently the imports have been less and the exports about the same as in
1914.

The building trade in the city and towns was not active, but the farming
and fishing sections showed about the same activity as in recent years.

A large pulp mill is under construction at St. Anns by the Cape Breton
Pulp Co., and it is proposed to begin operations during the coming season.

On account of the scarcity of small lumber carrying vessels and the high
rates of freight, it is not likely that much lumber will be shipped to the United
States this season.—R. R. Chappell.

38 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND

Opportunities for Canadian Lumber in France

memorandum on the importation of Canadian lumber into
France, prepared by a wholesale lumber firm in Havre, has been for-
warded to the Department of Trade and Commerce by Mr. Philippe
Roy, General Commissioner for Canada in Paris. Canadian lumber
exporters, the report says, have an excellent opportunity just now
of opening up a large trade with France and replacing the lumber
formerly imported from Sweden and Norway :—

The firm in question, as is the case with all French concerns
known as dealers in lumber from the Baltic, is exclusively interested
in the importation and sale of lumber for building purposes. Their
requirements have been so far entirely taken care of by importing
Baltic lumber, that is to say, from Sweden, Norway, Finland and the
Baltic provinces of RuSsia. The articles of agreement for the pur-
chase of timber from Sweden or Russia are the types of contract
acceptable. The only difference between the contract in Sweden and

that in Russia lies in the fact that the former stipulates prices f.o.b.’

and the latter c.1.f. quotations. ,

Requirements of Contract
The principal clauses are as follows :— :
Standard of sale—Petrograd standard (165 English cubic feet).
Dimensions. Thickness and width in English inches, as follows:

4 x9 24x 6% 14x99 1x9
3c 2144x6 14Ax8 Lx8
Sty eG Vitae a 5 14Ax7 Ie <br
Sie ete) Dex 14x6 1x6
Si Roe, 2 x4y 14Ax4y bese)
24x7 aa a 14x4 lx 4y
1x4

Length—In metric figures, i.e., from 33 by 33 centimetres.

Price—In francs or pounds sterling at a fixed rate of exchange de-

termined by the contract, c.i.f. as mentioned above.

Payments by draft accepted by the buyer, against documents at
three days’ sight, without discount of 2% per cent., or at four months,
at the option of the buyer. These conditions imply great confidence
on the part of the seller and were very liberally offered by the Baltic
exporters, which explains their almost complete capture of the lum-
ber trade in northern and western Europe. .

Grades 1 and 2 are equivalent to grades of sale in France known
as Joiners 1 and Good Joiners 2. Grades 3 and 4 are similar to the
grades of sale in France known as Good Scaffoldings and Scaffoldings.

Canadian lumber is not unknown in France. At the time of sail-
ing vessels the importation was even very active, thanks to the higher
rates of freight and the utilization of this lumber in naval construc-
tion. As soon as the use of iron began with the appearance of steam
_ vessels, these favorable conditions disappeared.

Moreover, at the same period, Swedish exporters, with the en-
couragement of their Government and with a degree of ability and

daring which must be admitted, laid plans for the utilization of their

forests, the enlarged production of their sawmills and the extending
of their banking system, and thus secured the complete mastery of
the trade in building timber in all the countries located on the North
Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and western Mediterranean.

Canadian imports into France were reduced to the appearance
in French ports of small consignments in the years in which the Baltic
production was inferior to the needs of the general consumption.
One of the other reasons for the commercial supremacy of this produc-
tion over that of Canada is the organization adopted by the Swedish
sawmills for the sale of their products.

These Swedish sawmills are represented in France by general
agents residing in Paris, who cover from there all the French ports.
These agents deal either on behalf of the sawmills, or in their own
name, and guarantee to the buyer the execution of the contract. This
habit of applying to Paris agents has become such an established
custom with lumber importers in France, that the few deals in Can-
adian lumber which have been transacted have been arranged through
these agents,

Canadian Opportunities

Few cases are known where deals have been closed direct between
Canadian lumber mills and French importers. If producers in the
Dominion desire to extend their connections with France, they would
have every interest in opening agencies in Paris. These relations can
all the better be developed as the difficulties of importing Baltic lum-
ber since the beginning of the war have induced French lumber
dealers to renew their relations with Canada. Moreover, after hos-
tilities cease the requirements in construction lumber will certainly
be considerable and will exceed the Baltic production, especially if it
is remembered that the port of Riga which exported yearly nearly
one-fourth of this lumber, has suffered from the fact that the forests
of its back country have been destroyed by war; that sentiments which
were dormant have been awakened by our mutual trials and co-opera-
tion, adding new life to the old sympathy which has united France and
Canada.

With the exception of spruce lumber of quite superior grade, Can-

British Columbia's Fine Finish Materials

Carefully planned publicity has recently been bringing splendid s
results in the case of the various classes of lumber and timber pro-
duced in British Columbia. In Eastern Canada, this is especially
noticeable. Canadians have always naturally wished to make ex-
tensive use of their own manufactured products whenever possible, —
and, in Eastern Canada, the products of British Columbia have suffered
greatly in the past on account of the fact that architects, contractors
and consumers knew so little about them as compared with other
woods used for similar purposes. This has all been changed during ~
the past year or two, especially since the extensive campaign of ad- —
vertising British Columbia forest products was put into operation by
the British Columbia Government. We have made frequent refer-_
ence to this campaign in our columns and we are able in this issue —
to show a few attractive illustrations of British Columbia timbers —
and interior finish in actual use. The steadily increasing cost of many
hardwoods which have been great favorites for interior finish for many

Columbia woods for similar purposes. Many British Columbia woods
have been found to be exceedingly well adapted for such uses. x

Douglas fir, western hemlock, western red cedar, western spruce,
western larch and western soft pine are becoming increasingly popular
as finishing material. They have excellent wearing and time resist-_
ing qualities, as well as beautiful figures. In regard to figure they —
permit of two very distinct types, the flat-grain, giving a beautiful
watered-silk effect, and the vertical sawn grain, a restful, pleasing, —
edge-grain effect. ; =

finish and floors. The effect is very restful, pleasing and quiet. An-
other illustration shows the hall and staircase in a private residence,
in which panelled walls, beam ceiling, staircase and floors are all
Douglas fir, giving a homelike and exceptionally beautiful appearance.
A room panelled with cedar and finished with wax polish, with an
edge-grain Douglas fir floor, in its natural shade is very delightful
to the eye, combining comfort, beauty and durability.

Douglas fir is a particularly suitable wood for interior finish. The
stock from which interior trim is manufactured is free from knots,
shakes, or other defects, and usually is cut edge-grain. The mills of
British Columbia pay particular attention to good finish, all stock
being thoroughly kiln-dried and carefully manufactured. This wood
holds oil, stain or paint splendidly. It can also be finished in wax

or varnish, either dull or polished, with good results. As a flooring
material, edge-grain Douglas fir ranks easily among the best that can
be obtained. It is straight-grained, hard and wear resisting, besides
producing a very attractive floor. As a door stock also, Douglas fir
ranks among the best. All stock for rails, stiles and muntins is cut
edge-grain, and the panels are solid or three-ply rotary cut veneers.

Another of British Columbia’s attractive woods for interior finish
is western red cedar, the color of which, in its natural state, is A quiet,
slightly reddish brown. It is straight grained, easy to work, free from
checking or warping, and much in demand for the highest class of
panelling for walls and ceilings. This wood is cut either flat-grain
or edge-grain and takes any finish of oil, wax, paint or varnish. Cedar
panelling in plain oil finish mellows down with age to a restful, pleas-
ing effect, very suitable for libraries or dens.

Lumber Grades and Other Problems

Reflections of a Lumberman on a Few Questions of Present
Day Importance to the Trade

By E. H. Newton

From time to time, the question of uniform grading of lumber
products and shingles comes up, elicits the usual variance of discus-
sion and excites the usual amount of interest given to such matters
of universal preponderance, and then, as if to show our preference
for living in a state of mediocrity, we allow the question to be lost
sight of, and to sag back and remain in the hands of that old thief
of time, whose other name is procrastination.

The Editor of the Canada Lumberman has once again raised the
issue, and let us hope that those whose office places them within the
proper sphere to take the initiative in such matters will not look lightly
upon the subject, but rather seize it as an opportunity to do some-
thing along educational lines upon a subject where education and
general instruction are badly needed.

Good Practical Rules Required

What we want is not simply a stiff and precise set of sterotyped
rules gotten up with such a maximum of brevity as to make them
capable of being misinterpreted, or otherwise confusing to those not
well versed in the hieroglyphics or other characters used to describe
lumber, and which are so well known and sometimes so confusing as
to leave room for a difference of opinion even between the more prac-
tical minds. We want a set of grading rules which will describe the
different grades from the highest to the lowest in detail in all their
practical forms of manufacture, and also. indicate the suitableness, or
adaptability of each grade for any purpose not already or otherwise
indicated.

Such an educational compilation of information placed in the
hands of all who might be benefited by a universal and more general
knowledge of the business, as well as of the purpose sought and
worked out, would have a double effect, and would redound to the
benefit and satisfaction of all concerned. It is a safe assertion to
make that probably fifty per cent. of the business handled in lumber
to-day carries some element of uncertainty, and on this account errors
in filling the orders occur, or annoying delays are frequently occa-
sioned while telegrams or letters are being exchanged, as the exigency
of the case may seem to require, all of which might be reduced to a
minimum if the man who writes up the business had a full and com-
plete guide to order by, and in which might be emphasized the neces-
sity of giving full and complete information with each order which
would facilitate the application of intelligence by the mill filling it,
obviate unnecessary delays and reduce almost to the vanishing point
the excuse for making errors. is

For the purpose of illustration I will cite a single instance which
came before me recently, and which describes the modus operanda
which is seemingly becoming more and more the rule with those
writing out inquiries, and even orders: An inquiry was submitted to
the mills for quotations, calling for a number of carloads of timbers
and other specifications, much of which ran up to sixty feet in length,
without indicating anything about the quality, or for what purpose
it was to be used. This timber might quite properly be required in
select grade, select common, or number one common, according to
the purpose for which it is to be used, and yet there was no indication
or information accompanying the inquiry. The local representative
of the company which had submitted it was called up and asked for
the information, but he could not give it, and yet the mills are ex-
pected to figure on this kind of business.

Orders Should Be Definite and Specific

Another difficulty which is increased beyond all reasonable pro-
portion is that of demanding specified lengths where they are not
needed. In most mills, and more particularly those situated in con-
fined areas, it is much more convenient to fill orders calling for ran-
dom lengths than it is those calling for-specified lengths, and therefore
where lumber is to be cut up into other lengths than those ordered it
would be a decided advantage to the mill filling such order if it were
given this information, together with the privilege of acting upon it.
It surely is an unwarrantable hardship for the mill to pick over a pile
of random length shiplap as is often done in order to load a car with
all one length, when it is a well-known fact that in most cases random
~ even lengths in. shiplap are preferable in a building, and when it is
ordered all one length some of it has to be cut in order that the joints
may not all come in one place.

Easygoing Methods Lead Nowhere
I have spent quite a respectable number of years in the lumber
and shingle business, and from the positions which I have occupied,
with a due amount of application I have been able to camp upon
the most difficult grounds until I had studied them thoroughly. Step
by step and year by year I have gone along, as many others have done,

- ¢ 4 a

April 1, 1ieee

watching the business in all its varying stages, and searching assidu-
ously for the cause and effect of things as they happen. Always
studying the business in the light of practicability, I have discovered —
many of the diverging points where thought runs off until it exhausts —
itself along the lines of incompatability. It is the business coming ~
in off these branch lines which is giving us most of our worries to-day.
Most of these branch lines lead off to a place called “Dontgivadam- _
gulch,” and the fellow who handles the business there is never par-_
ticularly anxious to take worries into the camp, but rather prefers —
to pass them all on the mill. s
Now, if this man could only be educated to think, and to unde:-
stand more about the business in a general way, and to talk lumber in-
telligently and in a masterful way, very much of the existing inhar-
monious entanglement could be obviated. I know it is a difficul
problem, but it is well worth the effort. The last thing that some
men want to do seemingly is to think, and particularly is this se
when you ask them to think for the benefit of someone else. Have
you ever met the fellow who acts first and thinks afterwards? He
is the chap of whom it is said that his “hindsight is better than
foresight.” Some of those fellows are smart in a way, but it
usually only superficial. Ask them a question, and perhaps they w
answer you before you have finished, but they have not thought, b
answered first, and will think later, if at all.
__ I do not believe there is another industry in the province of Brit-
ish Columbia to-day, or in Canada, for that matter, which has been
run in such a haphazard way, or in which there is such an opportunity
for educational work as in the lumber business, but let us hope that
by a united effort, order, satisfaction, contentment, and even pleasure ~
may take the place of demoralization, which is now passing, we hope, —
for good. is

Making Bungs and Faucets :
The bung’s business is to hold liquid in a barrel or keg, hee
faucet’s is to draw it out. The making of these two small articles is
treated as a single industry in statistical compilations, though they
are not generally the product of the same factory. They are so inti-
mately connected with cooperage that they are naturally classed with
that industry. Though the articles are small, they call for a large
amount of wood for their production. Their yearly total needs in the _
U. S. according to latest figures, exceeds 21,000,000 feet, and includes
seventeen kinds of wood, twelve of which are hardwoods, ‘five soft.
In quantity, yellow poplar amounts to more than all others combined,
as the following table shows. ;

More barrel bungs are made in Ohio than in any other state a
almost as many as in all other states together. - ;
of bung wood is. 10,084,000 feet, nearly all of which is yellow popl
The industry is centered in and around Cincinnati where it has groy
from a small beginning many years ago. This is doubtless due
the fact that Cincinnati has long been a cooperage center. Dur
early years when the Cincinnati coopers obtained their white
staves in southern Ohio and in the adjacent parts of Indiana and |
tucky, the yellow poplar for bungs was procured in the same reg
and most of it within twenty-five miles of the city. But that ti
past long ago. They now bring staves from Arkansas and Mississippi
and yellow popular for bungs from West Virginia and éastern Ken-
tucky and Tennessee. ‘a

It might be supposed that the bung being small, one wood will do
as wellas another. Such is far from the case. Some of the deman¢
are exacting. The wood must be straight-grained, soft, strong, easily
worked ,and it must not sheer easily. It must possess a uniform
structure so that the wood will make a uniform contact with the wood

ce
co

around it. Hard and soft streaks in a wood spoils it for bungs. It
must not be sufficiently porous to permit seepage. It would be poor
economy to pay high prices for white oak staves in order to get a non-
_ leakable wood, and then use a bung through which leakage may take
place. Yellow poplar meets these requirements so well that it has
__ béen accorded first place as a bung wood in competition with all the
timber ofthis country.
_--~«-‘The wood represented in the foregoing table is worked into fau-
‘cets as well as bungs, but the material going into the two articles is
not separately tabulated and the line between bungs and faucets can-
not be drawn in a way to show how much each uses. It is known
that bungs take more than half.
_ Faucets are made in many parts of the country, and for drawing
m barrels and casks liquids of numerous kinds. There is some
shoice of woods, but many are suitable. Prejudice for a long time
‘controlled the making of faucets, for it was once supposed that the
2 4 aucet exercised a good or a bad influence upon the liquid which
‘, ed through it. ‘That superstition was not confined to any par-

nce of better education among the people. However, it is said
it to this day country merchants in some rural districts insist on
aving applewood faucets for vinegar barrels, because some of their
ustomers will not buy vinegar which is not drawn from the barrel
rough a faucet of applewood.

hat is a survival of the old superstition that applewood im-
roved cider and vinegar by contact with it.

Decreased Lumber Consumption

One of the direct causes of depression in the lumber industry is
a decreased consumption of lumber, which is perhaps more to blame
than an increased production. Just how much this consumption has
decreased per capita is shown in some data that have just been worked
up on this subject. In 1905 the per capita lumber consumption of
_ United States was 334 board feet; in 1909 this had increased to 474
board feet per person, but in 1913 this amount had decreased so ma-
terially that only 362 feet were consumed. The figures during the
past ten years are as follows:

aoe Shad 1905—334 board feet per capita.

1907—434 board feet per capita.
1909—474 board feet per capita.
1911—377 board feet per capita
aM 1913—362 board feet per capita.

A careful study of these figures will point out to the lumbermen
wherein lies their only hope of permanent betterment of trade. New
and increased uses for wood, based on an exact knowledge as to when

and what wood is best suited for the purpose at hand, it is believed,

can be developed to the point which will raise the per capita consump-
tion, hence the total production, sufficiently to make the lumber busi-
~ ness a continuously profitable and stable industry. Reaction from

_ the extensive promotion work on the part of the,substitute building

materials people during the past five years, is beginning to be mani-
_ fested in a return to wood, recognizing it as the most economical type
_ of construction, embodying at the same time the maximum of beauty
_ and utility—Bulletin of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association.

+ The Bonus System in Making Shell Boxes

_____In one of the eastern plants making shell boxes a bonus system
has been introduced that has produced good results.
First, the number of times a given operation can be performed in
ez, day has been ascertained as nearly as possible. Then an hourly
_ tate is fixed on this basis, and the operator encouraged to get the
best possible out of his machine. Payment for results is made as
iow

of all that is produced over the fixed rate the-man is paid
his employer takes the other half. If the operator does not
ed for any reason in making any bonus he is still paid his regu-
urly rate. For example, suppose the rate for an operation is
ations per hour, and in one week of 50 hours he makes 2,500,
is 750 over the fixed rate, the operator is paid for 375, or 21%
it. on his wages for the week. If it is found that a helper would
ssist the output of a certain operation the helper is paid a bonus
same as a mechanic, allowance being made for the helper in fixing
rate. Each week or pay period stands by itself. Care has been
to fix the rates so that the man can make a bonus, experience
g proved that if he can only make three or four per cent. he does
- think it worth the exertion, and makes no effort. In order to pro-
‘the employers in case any rate of operations is fixed too low, it is
ulated that not more than fifty per cent. bonus is to be paid on
ly one pay.
_ To protect the employer against inferior work and save cost of
sections of machines the operator is only paid for material that
itely passes the Government inspection. This makes every man
hat every other man turns out good work.

Byte has produced noticeable results in the way of output.

ee aa T

CANADA LUMBERMAN-AND WOODWORKER 41

On one operation that, before the bonus was introduced, took two
men and two machines to get between six and seven hundred opera-
tions per day, now one man and one machine is producing just over
500 per day, an increase of almost 30 per cent. Another took five men
to produce 1,000 per day; now two men produce 600 to 650 per day,
an increase of 62 per cent. in each case. The operator gets half of
the money saved and the employer half, but the employer gets all the
increased output.

On the other hand, on some of the operations this bonus has not
affected the output much, there being in some cases increases of only
five to six per cent. Taking all the operations into account, both ma-
chine and bench, the increased output has been nearly forty per cent.,
and the bonus paid twenty per cent.

The effect of this extra speed on some of the operations has spread
over all, so that the total cost has declined a little over 35 per cent.
since the system has been introduced.

To get the best results there must be confidence between master
and man, no cutting of rates. The rate must be fixed so that the oper-
ators can earn some bonus. The effect has been that the operator has
devised many short cuts that help production and improve the grade
of the work.

Advertising, the Keynote to Success for Lumber Industry

Advertising as the keynote of success in the lumber industry was
the basic point of the address of Secretary R. S. Kellogg, of the Na-
tional Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, in an address on “Use
Wood Where Wood Is Best,” before the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers’ Association, Wednesday, March 15, at Philadelphia.

“Advertising, lots of it, honest advertising, efficient advertising,”
he declared, “has made the lumber trade sit up and take notice in the
last year or two and realize the possibilities that have been overlooked
in years gone by, The lumber trade to-day, as a result, has revolu-
tionized the methods of merchandizing its products, and this applies
not only to the manufacturer, but to the wholesaler and to the retailer.

“The cypress and southern pine manufacturers, for example, are

spending $100,000 each year in the advocating of their product. The
hemlock men of Wisconsin are just starting out to spend $25,000 a
year for five years in advertising hemlock. The Douglas fir, North
Carolina pine, red gum, red and white cedar men are doing the same
kind of work. ;
_ _ But back of all this is the bigger thing, honesty and efficiency
in advertising. Newspapers to-day are asking that the advertisements
offered for their columns be honest. We are advocating honesty and
efficiency in our own business to-day, not because of the morality of
the problem alone, but because it pays to be right.

“The National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association to-day is work-
ing through all its varied channels to secure efficiency in the handling
of the lumber of the nation. Our manufacturers are trying to be effici-
ent in production, we are trying to help our customers to be efficient
in their merchandizing, but above all we are all working together for
efficiency and honesty in advertising. We want more advertising in
this business of ours. The manufacturers are advertising to help the
retail and wholesale distribution of lumber, and the wholesalers and
the retailers should join hands with us and spend their money in
extensive advertising of the use of wood where wood is best.

“That is the one great problem in our advertising to-day, the
advocacy of the use of wood only where wood is best, and of the kind
of wood that is best for a specific purpose. In honest advertising we
must advertise the kind of wood for a given purpose that is best fitted
for that purpose. If we try to sell an inferior wood for a particular
purpose, we harm not only the individual seller of this wood, but the
lumber business as a whole.

“While the manufacturers are spending well toward $500,000 a
year on various special advertising campaigns for special woods, we
are trying to educate the wholesalers and the retailers of the country
to co-operate with us not only by assisting in this advertising, but
by becoming efficient salesmen. The manufacturers are advertising
to make a market for lumber for the dealer, and the manufacturers
are helping in this campaign by raising the standards of the various
kinds of lumber, and trademarking much of it, so that the man whc
buys a stick of wood knows that its quality is backed by a big manu-
facturers’ organization, pledging its faith that this stick of timber will
do what is claimed for it.

“The manufacturers are helping the dealers not only in this way
but by sending out travelling exhibits, engineering bulletins, and aid-
ing the dealers to secure the most reliable information about the
qualities of the lumber they handle.

“Now, in co-operation with the manufacturers, we believe the
dealers can help themselves by becoming authorities upon building
construction in their home cities, spreading information on the various
uses of lumber, co-operating with manual training schools, meeting
mail order competition with superior goods and service, and by going
into the broad problems of community development; in other words,
becoming building experts for their home communities.”

Build Lumber Carrier

Of the same type as that sug-
gested as suitable to be built for
carrying the lumber of British
Columbia to foreign markets will
be a vessel to be built immediate-
ly on Puget Sound for American
lumbermen. She will be the first
auxiliary powered lumber carrier
to be built on Puget Sound and
will be constructed at the Babare
yards, at Old Town, Tacoma. She
will be 215 feet over all, 42 feet
beam, 14 feet depth of hold and
rigged as a four-masted schooner.
Although the engines have been
ordered for the vessel she may
make her first voyage under sail.
She will be able to carry a little
more than 1,000,000 feet of lumber
and will cost, when completed,
approximately $100,000. She will
be operated in the off-shore trade,
to South Africa or Australia and
may be sent through the Panama
Canal to New York.

Overhead a Bugaboo

Mostly every aggressive manu-
facturer some time in his life
wants to increase his business in
order to. reduce his overhead
charges. In many cases this is
the worst bugaboo in the world.
We should certainly apologize to
Mr. Overhead. We do believe he
is part of the cost of doing busi-
ness, but when you figure out
that you have a lot of waste ma-
terial, and you spirited up the
force to increase the number of
boxes made, and if you put in ten
more machines in order to in-
crease the number of boxes turned
out of the factory, you naturally
would have a bigger spread to
cover the cost of manufacture, in-
cluding overhead. The trouble
with Mr. Overhead is that when
he gets to whooping in the ear
of the man that he could do $100,-
000 more business and practically
at no overhead, then we urge you,
gentle reader, to diagnose all this
proposition and be ready to work
a new deal out, charging overhead
at the same percentage as hereto-
fore, and you will no doubt have
more money than if you figure
you are going to save half or
three-fourths of your overhead
because you have increased the
capacity of one department or an-
other.—Barrel & Box.

Logging is being hindered very
much up the B. C. coast at pre-
sent, as a result of storms, accord-
ing to a report from Timber In-
spector George D. McKay. In
many cases loggers have had to
make their booms up two and
three times even in sheltered wa-
ters, while towing has been out
of the question.

Twenty flatcars loaded with
lumber from Everett, Wash., came
into British Columbia recently for
shipment eastward over the C. P.
R., according to a Vancouver re-
port. This is in the face of the
fact that many B. C. mills are idle.

Competent
Manager Wanted

A large lumber plant and mill in Toronto
has an excellent opportunity to offer a
man of real ability as head office manager.
This vacancy has been made by the death
of the late manager. Propositions of
straight salary, salary and commission,
an interest in the business, or even a sale
of the business as a going concern, will
be considered.

This is a large proposition and only the
competent man of proven ability and
experience need apply.

Toronto, Ontario

Ontario

Although there is still nothing definite to report that is interest-
ing, in connection with the building situation in Ontario, there are
general signs of improvement today which are encouraging the lumber
trade asa whole. In the larger cities, architects are beginning to see
a little more light than they have for some time past. “Quite a num-
ber of them report that they are doing preliminary work in connection
with projected buildings, only a few ” of which have reached the con-
tract stage, but a number of which are expected to do so early in the
spring. In the country districts there is promise of a fair amount of
building on the part of farmers.

Industrial users of lumber are far more active than they have been
for some time. The furniture, implement and piano manufacturers
are doing well and report that trade is improving rapidly, a situatioi
which is making things more active for the hardwood trade. A prom-
inent hardwood firm report that they have recently had one of the
best weeks that they have experienced for a long time.

The white pine situation is also showing improvement. Along
the North Shore of Lake Huron and in the Georgian Bay district,
stocks are going out steadily by rail, much of them going to Buffalo,
Cleveland and other lake points. When these stocks are moved by
rail during the winter to United States points the situation is quite
encouarging. Manufacturers in Northern Ontario have taken out a
fair sized stock. A traveller who recently visited many of these
firms, reports that, so far as he can estimate, the cut is about normal.
‘They have had a favorable season for logging operations and the out-
look for the drives could not be more encouraging than it is. Nor-
thern Ontario firms are also shipping fair quantities of hemlock, much
of which is going to United States points.

The appearance of a considerable number of shell box orders upon
the Ontario and Quebec markets is also making the trade feel more
contented about the outlook. It was a long time since new shell box
orders had come to light. About March 17th the Imperial Muni-
tions Board alloted contracts for the production of a little over one
million boxes of various descriptions. About 65 per cent. of these
orders went to Quebec firms and the balance to Ontario firms. These
will make a good demand for spruce, pine, birch and maple, in 1 in.
stock, and as most of these woods are already scarce, it is likely
that prices will stiffen. These orders are the result of tenders called
for by the Board and a number of lumbermen who have heard details
of the prices are expressing the opinion that they are a little too close
to the actual cost of production and that higher prices for lumber may
bring about a pretty serious situation for those who have undertaken
the contracts.

Eastern Canada

The first of April will see the mills at St. John, N. B., in opera-
tion. The outlook for the present season is very uncertain as manu-
facturers cannot see far into the future. So far as prices are con-
cerned there is no uncertainty of any importance, but manufacturers
cannot figure on their ability to clear their stocks, as tonnage is so
searce. Practically all shipments from St. John are being handled by
the Admiralty. If the present rate-of shipment continues most of
the stock will be moved. British buyers are not purchasing far ahead.
Deals are being quoted at about $19 for an ordinary English specifi-
cation. At the opening of spring, stocks of deals at St. John will be
pretty well cleaned up, giving the mills clear wharves. Spruce boards
are selling at about $17 to $18 for good merchantable stock. The
American market is firm, but orders are scarce on account of the
difficulty in making delivery, as embargoes have been placed by the
railroad companies upon these stocks. Coastwise freights are high,
having reached $5 per thousand for New York.

The driving outlook is promising, with plenty of snow at the head
waters. Jobbers have had a good winter, although logging expenses
have been a bit higher. The quantity of logs coming down the St.
John will be about the same as in 1915.

The base price for spruce frames at Boston continues firm at $27.
The recent embargo against lumber shipments into the United States
announced by the Intercolonial Railroad is cutting off the competition
of Canadian spruce and strengthening the Boston market. Random
quotations are ‘firm, present prices being: 2 x 3, $21.50 to $22; 2 x 4,
$22.50 to $23; 2 x 5, 2°xO-and 2rmege $21. 50 to $22; 2 x 8, $25 to $26;
Bae WO2S77: 2x 12, $28, The hardw ood market at Boston is improv-
ing and the demand is better than it has been for some months. Prices
are firm. One-inch Ist and 2nd maple is bringing $41 to $44, and bass-
wood of the same grade is firm at $44 to $45. Stocks of really dry

basswood are scarce and higher prices are expected in the near future.
There is a good demand for 1-in. lst and 2nd red birch at $56 to §
and sap birch at $45 to $47. The trade in hemlock at Boston
good and prices are firm. Stock lengths of eastern clipped boat
are selling at $22 to $23. Shingles are quiet at Boston. The b
white cedar extras are bringing up-to $3.60; clears $3 to $3.10 2
2nd clears $2.30 to $2.40. Lath continue firm, although the demar
is only moderate. For 14-inch lath the lowest price now is $4, ai
for 15¢-in. most sellers are asking $4.25.

Great Britain

There has been a moderate reduction in the demand for + m
at London recently, but spot values continue to show iner
shippers’ quotations c.i.f. are still on a steady up grade. Im
of deals and battens from South Swedish ports are obtaining
10s. c.i.f. for 3 x 9 and 3 x 8 unsorted red wood, £26 for 3 x 7
2% x 7 and £25 10s. for 2x 6 and 2x 4. At Foy, Morgan & Ci
pany’s recent auction sale, 3 x 11 5th Quebec spruce sold at £26 5
per standard. 3x7 unsorted St. John spruce brought £26 10s.
John red pine 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 3 x 8 and 3 x 6 sold at £26 and 1
2nd, 3rd and ‘inepeiied red brought £24-5s. A lot of clear silver spruc
from Portland, Oregon, was sold at £30 per standard for 1 x ‘10
and £28 for 1 x 7/9.

The volume of business at Liverpool has been rather light. Stock
are depleted and most of the trade in progress is between nferchan
and country buyers, in small quantities. All goods are firm in
with an upward tendency and there seems to be no likelihood of easier
prices, while freights continue at their present high levels. There’
is practically no c.if. business in progress. Spruce c.i-f. prices are
firm, merchants asking in the neighborhood of £28 for 3.x 7 and 8 in.
and £30 for 3x 9 in. and £33 for 3x 11 in. Arrivals are practically
nil. There is practically no c.i.f. market for birch at present. The
spot market, however, is very firm and the consumptive demand i
good, so that values are sure to rise. At Manchester, the price o ot
timber continues to advance rapidly, with apparently no limit.
small cargo of the usual average spruce was sold lately at £29 a
standard, ‘and 7 x 3 spruce was “offered at £30 per standard ex quay
with other sizes in proportion. Fine stocks at Manchester are be-
coming very light. Imports of this wood are not likely to arriv
until June and prices are therefore expected to go higher.

At Glasgow, the lumber market continues quits active, the a
mand having improved considerably of late. A few consignment
lots of spruce have recently arrived and have been sold at prices much
beyond those hitherto obtained. A little contracting is reported on
an f.o.b. basis, but buyers continue to object to entering into con-
tracts of this kind while freights continue so uncertain. There is a
good demand for first quality Pacific Coast spruce. Stocks are now we
exhausted and even the lower grades are scarce.’

United States

Industrial conditions throughout the United Grates continue on
an active scale, with the general production below the demand. Car
shortages and embargoes “have become still more serious and vessels
for export shipments continue to be lacking. Steel companies report —
record orders and the leading producer has announced its intention
of spending $35,000,000 on a new plant and improvements. The
freight embargo situation and the shortage of transportation —
continue to restrict the movement of lumber. Railroads are add
to their rolling stock as rapidly as possible, but the car wad
is likely to continue for some time. The worst congestion of
has been in New York and other eastern seaboard points, but
extensive congestion also exists at Seattle, Wash., where 5,000
of freight destined for Russia were reported last week. A similar con
dition, it is understood, exists at Vancouver, B. C.

The export situation shows no change of importance, the
factor still being the shortage of tonnage. The Pacific Coast is
periencing a very large demand for lumber for shipment to Australi
No less than eighty vessels are listed as having sailed or being unde
charter to sail from Pacific ports for.Australia before September, al
loaded with lumber.

In spite of the numerous obstacles in the way of making ship
ments of lumber there is a steady increase in the consumption in the
chief United States cities. Receipts of lumber at Chicago from Janu-

ary Ist to March 11th amounted to 506,667,000 feet compared wi ith
362,832,000 feet during the corresponding period of 1915. Shipments

from Chicago during the same period amounted to 230,241,000 feet
as compared with 194,898,000 feet during the corresponding period
of 1915. The yellow pine situation is quite encouraging with extensive
shipments and orders on the books of all mills, although much greater
shipments would be made if cars were available.

Northern pine at Chicago continues strong. There is good de-
mand for all yard stock requirements and there is a fair movement,

Market Correspondence

Montreal Trade Still Quiet

Montreal, March 24th; (Special to the Canada Lumberman ) :—
So far as local trade is concerned, the market is dull, due to the in-
activity in the building business. The unusually severe weather con-
ditions, for this time of the year, have handicapped operations, which
are not expected to be on an extensive scale this season. Orders from
the United States are moderate. This section of the market is, how-
ever, the brightest spot in the general situation. It is reported that
there is shortage of cars at some provincial points, making it difficult
to ship lumber from the mills. _.

So far only three Montreal firms have received orders for addi-
tional shell boxes, as the result of the tenders which were recently
submitted. These are for the smaller boxes, and the prices are under-
stood to be low—so low, in fact, that offers by the Commission to
other local firms on the same basis have been refused. The Commis-
sion have called for fresh bids on some of the larger sizes, and have,
it is stated, changed the specifications with a view of obtaining cheaper
boxes. These tenders were to be in Ottawa by the 25th inst.

With regards to exports, the position is still one of doubt, par-
ticularly with reference to the tonnage which will be available. [rom
present indications there will be a shortage on the liners. A small
amount of additional space has been booked at rates round about
three hundred shillings.

The demand for sulphite pulp is exceptionally good, a condi-
tion which is likely to continue for some time. Prices have again
risen, with a likelihood of still further advances. Canadian mills
can readily sell all the pulp available, and practically every mill has
orders for a long time ahead. It is a considerable period since there
was such a buoyant market, every ton of pulp being shipped out as
soon as manufactured. The Riordon Pulp and Paper Company has
recently exported some pulp to England. Ground wood is in fair
request. Newsprint continues to be in brisk demand for foreign and.
home account. .

St. John Deal Stocks Cleaned Up

St. John, N.B., March 21st; (Special to the Canada Lumberman ) :
Within the next two weeks, the mills at St. John will begin to turn
their wheels and get under way for the season of 1916. Just what the
coming season will bring forth is hard to say. Under ordinary con-
ditions the manufacturers can look ahead and see pretty clearly what
is at the other end. This season he is very much in the dark, and
cannot tell just what the future has in store for him. Price is not
the greatest question, but how the manufacturer is going to get clear
of his stock after he saws it. Tonnage is simply out of the question
and the only shipments are those being made by the Admiralty, who
are finding all the bottoms, and as every vessel is under the absolute
control of the Government they are really the only ones who can do
any positive shipping. About all shipments from this port are being
made for account of the Government, and have been fairly heavy.
Should the present rate of shipments keep up, no doubt a good por-
tion of the sawn stocks for 1916 will be moved. If it should slow
up it will mean stagnation for the mills. British buyers do not seem
disposed to make any very extended purchases at the moment, so
it is really hard to tell just what price can be had for deals. Probably
$19 would be a high price at the present time, for an English specifi-
cation fifty per cent. 9 in. and up, with the strips and fourths at re-
duced prices, viz., about $2.50 per thousand less.

Stocks of deals will be well cleaned up at St. John when the
spring opens, and mills will have a start with clear wharves, which,
as explained above, will no doubt be needed.

Spruce boards are out of the question and cannot be had at any
low prices unless of a very inferior grade, and then one has to go out-
side for some distance to find any. It is to be hoped that the spruce
board market will not follow last year’s market, which was a very
dead one. Price was no question. It was find a buyer. At the pre-
sent moment any person having boards can ask and find buyers at
about $17 to $18 for good merchantable stock.

of lower grades for box purposes. At Buffalo, the white pine
shows a little improvement, although the unpleasant weather has b
holding back orders to some extent. Prices are firm. At North Tona-
wanda, there is a good movement of cutting up stock and improvement
is reported in common stock. Enquiries and orders are becoming more
numerous. Prices have been advancing on a few items, stocks of

The only stocks of American sizes are held by Stetson, Cutler
Company, who are shipping considerable to the English market, ¢
they have a very long and broad average stock from long and lar,
logs cut in Maine. Very extreme prices are being paid for special
orders cut from these logs. The American market remains firm, b
no orders are being placed here, as it is useless, as deliveries cannot
be made to B. & M. or N. Y., N. H. & H. points, embargos havit
been placed on these lines for some time. Just when the embarg
will be taken off seems pure guessing. 2 x 3 in., 2x 6in., and 2x
are quoted at $21, 2 x 4 in., $22.50, 2 x 8 in., $25, 2 x 10 in., $21

are being made to New York at private prices, all cargo lots. Fre

Ocean freights are the much discussed question. Three hundred s
lings per standard has been paid, and whether it will end there
mains to be seen. This price means roughly $36 per thousand feet
seems to the seller like a fairy tale. oy

The outlook for driving is very good all over the province
New Brunswick and Quebec. At the headwaters of the St. John oy
Quebec and Maine, 4% feet of snow covers everything, and sometim ;
four inches of crust is mixed through it. This coming late, as it has, —
will no doubt be well preserved, as it is now nearing the breaki
up time. Therefore, with warm weather and rains, good water should
prevail and be well upheld. Jobbers all over the country have had a
good winter, but logging expenses have been somewhat higher owit
to increase in the prices of all feeds used in camps, both for men and
beasts. Wages were about the same as a year ago. nae i
The quantity of logs to come down the St. John River has been —
well discussed before and will be about the same as in 1915. It is
pected that a very large drift drive of logs will take place in 1916
many old logs remain in the river from last year, and will no dou
come out with the ice, unless the booms at Fredericton can be clos
before they get past. Then they must come on to St. John and be
picked up in the lower reaches of the river. 4 ae

The cut of cedar on the St. John this winter is practically
thing. Shingles being low in price during the last season or
caused operators to retrench in their cutting. .

The shingle market remains sluggish, but with a small cut he
the west market will no doubt care for them all and will help outsi
points in the east to get better prices. ;

London Market Report yi i

Churchill & Sim, London, Eng., in their monthly wood circular,
say :—A further decrease in the aggregate delivery of wood in the Port
of London of some 4,500 standards is shown during February. There
has been no great shortage in the supplies to hand from Sweden a
Norway, but the Russian and Canadian figures marked a large falli
off in January, and materially affected the overside returns. T
demand for piled stock shows no sign of diminution, but is still stro
and active for what little is available for immediate use. Prices h
again improved all round, especially for floorings and matchin
which are none too plentiful and exhibit the greatest increases in t
February values. Forward business has been much hampered by t
difficulty and dearness of tonnage, and the earlier chartering rat
from both Sweden and the White Sea have proved very advantageo
bargains as compared with recent fixtures. There is, apparently,
limit to freight values, which are still the key of the situation, and gi
buyers a great deal of anxiety when arranging for their open water
supplies. :

by reason of their scarcity than on account of any improved demand

Barbados Market Report

S. P. Musson, Son & Co., Barbados, report under date of 2nd
March, as follows :—Lumberstuffs—White Pine—The position is un-
changed since last advised. No receipts are to hand. Supplies are
wanted and first arrivals should sell well. We should say that $35.50
and $36 for merchantable, and $27 and $28 for second quality, would
be obtainable for first receipts. | Spruce—Market is lightly supplied
but shipments are said to be on the way. Shingles—Selected Long
Gaspe are wanted, and we could recommend shipments, but cedar
Jaying are in heavy stock, with no demand. Shooks—The Schooner
“Ellen Little’ from Portland has arrived with a cargo of 15,080 bdls.
which is going into store; also 672 bdls. barrel shooks. The S.S.
“Cratheus” from Mobile has also brought 946 bbls. of these latter.

for dealers account.

Furniture and Piano Trades Improving

Montreal, March 24, (Special to The Canada Lumberman) :—Mr.
George Kersley, wholesale lumber and yeneer merchant, Montreal, re-
cently returned from a month’s successful visit to the principal piano
and furniture centres in Ontario. He reports that business, particul-
arly in the former branch of industry has revived in a marked degree.
Some furniture manufacturers are also in a much better position, so
far as orders are concerned, than they were a few months ago.

News Print and Sulphite Pulp in India

Mr. H. R. MacMillan, Special Trade Commissioner, writes the
Department of Trade & Commerce, Ottawa, to the effect that a
demand exists in India for newsprint paper and bleached or un-
bleached sulphite pulp. The newsprint paper now used in India is
all imported from Europe. Although the demand is small because
of the limited circulation of the newspapers, prices rose in January to
$116 per ton c.if. Calcutta.

Sulphite pulp is imported from Scandinavia to be used in mixture
with the locally made grass and bamboo pulps for the manufacture
of the finer grades of printing paper. About 20,000 tons a year are
imported. The price ordinarily is £9 to £10 per ton c.if. Calcutta,

‘ing to expand by virtue of all legitimate means.

“business without likewise increasing your expense, you are W

but prices have now mounted to £17 10s. for unbleached pulp. Th
cost of bleaching pulp in India is about 30s. per ton. If bleached p ft
could be delivered in India by July at £18 to £19 per ton or t
bleached at £17, sales could be made for lots of 1,000 to 2,000 tom
It is possible that pulp could be shipped via Hong Kong from Van
couver.

newsprint and sulphite pulp may be obtained from the Departme:
of Trade and Commerce (refer File No. A-1499).

Advertising has been called an art. Today it is a buisness. a

cognized in it a profession in which they might well justify close

should do is to prepare a budget of his expense. This he can estim

One of the first steps taken by him who is keen in the matte

What territory do you cover? What is the buying: poms

Then, again, there is the matter of organization witha ie
of business. You may write “ads” to your heart’s content,
have a lack of organization, there will be a clashing of good S

your business must co-operate with you, and you must win

by errors that have been made in the past, and not merely dismiss
them with but a passing thought.

Writing “ads” will be of little avail to you unless you are prepared
to back them with service. The good will of your business is such
that your part of the transaction is not closed merely by selling. This
is an age in which we hear much of service, but how little many of us
undet ‘stand the meaning of this term. Real service to your patrons
means the carrying out of your contract with them to the fullest ex-
tent, not ending with the mere buying and selling, but with the encour-
agement of your customer, and, fing ally, the pleasing of your customer,
and making of him one who ts thoroughly satisfied with the manner
in which you have endeavored to deal with him.

But even here, you may not stop ina consideration of what is ne-
cessary to be considered in connection with writing this open letter to
all whom you expect to take advantage of what is offered i init. Your
foundation is not secure unless you have been able to, by various pro-
cesses, determine the right selling prices, to know those things which
to you are the most profitable, and the most desired by your patrons, |
to follow daily your profits as well as your expenses, to know when to
lower prices and when to boost them.

The Method of Selling

Then, again, there is another important element entering into a
consideration of this entire matter, and that is, the method of selling.
Sometimes special sales are conducted, and these must be properly pre-
pared for so that you may not-only move the goods specially adver-
tised, but that they may go out into the channels which will eventu-
ally be the most satisfactory to you as well as to the purchaser. Occa-
sionally, yes often, dead stocks accumulate and it many times requires
considerable ingenuity to determine upon the method ‘of selling them.
There are times in the year when seasons are dull, when expense is
mounting up and sales are running down, and this condition must be
met wisely, so that the general average of results will not only remain
as good as theretofore, but will be increased as you reach. out for busi-
ness. You should have in mind. also, trade which has been lost to
you for one reason or another, sometimes within your understanding
and sometimes not, and this must be one consideration in connection
with the building of the foundation to which we have referred.

We have now indicated a few thoughts in the preparation of, and
things to be done for, your advice to the public as to what you have
for sale, and what your desires are. Let us, therefore, for a few
moments consider the writing of the letter itself, whether it be direct
or indirect. T*irst of all,there must enter into it the element of your
personality. It is your business which is being advertised; it is your
patrons you hope to reach, and this personal ‘element should be ap-
parent throughout the preparation of the “ad” and its final comple-
tion. What is an advertisement but a personal appeal. Ordinarily
it is not some strangeft who asks the patronage of the one who reads,
but it is the prospective patron of yourself to whom the invitation is
directed, and, consequently, your ideas, your thoughts, your business
should be prominent in this open letter to your friends and patrons;
but you must say something which will get your reader’s attention.
What you say should be based upon a study of those you expect to
read your “ad.” — It must be done in such a way, whether it be some-
thing intended for magazine or newspaper, bill-board or street car.
which will draw attention, whether it be in language or in objects,
whether it be in colors or in ingenuity ; even then you may fail, unless
beforehand you marshal all your facts so that you may use the best
argument in this appeal. You would not think of making a speech
to a jury unless you had done this very thing, and were endeavoring
to convince the listening jurors of the righteousness of your position
and the infallibility of your requirements.

[ have referred to the personal element. ‘There is another ele-
ment which I might call the “I-mean-you” element. I have seen ad-
vertisements, to illustrate, with the finger of a man pointing appar-
ently at myself. Let your ideas, let your language, let your thought
be such that it will be a direct appeal to him who reads, and thus
reach this element which brings results. It is this which creates a
desire to buy; it is this which works up to the climax of the reader’s
wish; it is this which makes him say to himself that you have proven
your case; it is this which makes of him a patron and a friend.

The advertisement must not only radiate the elements above re-
ferred to, but above all, it must be true. It may be argumentative,
convincing, forceful, powerful, snappy, searching, witty, entertaining,
appealing, picturesque, but, above all, honest as you would want your
employe to be and not deceptive like the Judas protestations of false
friends; clear as sunlight, which makes the day beautiful, and not
dark like the gloomy hours when murky shadows fall; bright as the.
shining armor of the Christian pilgrim as he overcomes the Adversary ;
open as the Book of Life, and not mysterious like the hieroglyphics of
an unknown ancient tongue. When you have this element of truth,
backed by a real personality, in what you write you have a fitting
structure to rear upon the firm foundation to which we have adverted:

“Let the Purchaser Beware”

One of the legal doctrines which has gained much of a foothold in
legal thought and principles, is that known as caveat emptor, “Let tl
purchaser “before.” Surely we are rapidly setting aside this rule
applied to advertising for business, and the courts ‘have found out the
while, of course, the prospective or proposed purchaser should not:
negligent, and should be fully awake in all of his transactions, yet
due advantage should not be taken of him, and the public should

It is today a source of pleasure to realize that proper cont

action whereby society may protect itself against those w

The Shoe Peg Business

Shoe pegs are bought and sold by the pint, peck, and bushel, while
the narrow ribbons of woods of which the pegs are made are bartered
sn rolls. It is therefore apparent that the pegs with which soles are
fastened on shoes appear on the market in two forms. In one, the
pegs are in separate pieces. each shaped and pointed ready for driving.
The other form is a ribbon of wood as wide as the peg is long, and
thick enough to form the body of the peg. The first form is intended
for the use of cobblers and shoe makers who work with hand tools.
They punch holes in the shoe with a pegging awl, and drive in the
pegs, one at a time, by light taps with a hammer. That was the old
style method of making shoes, and it is still follow ed by the worker in
the small shop. :

The large factory fotlows another method. It makes shoes by
machinery. Instead of buying pegs each individually complete, as
the country cobbler does, it purchases them only partly manufactured
in the form of the peg ribbons above described. These ribbons are
:n rolls and are fed to the machine as thread comes fromi a spool. The
machine points the pegs, slices them off one by one very rapidly, and
drives them in the sole, all without human assistance except to keep
the machine in working order and well supplied with peg rolls.

The pegs are nearly all of paper birch. That wood possesses
properties which cause it to be given preference over all other woods.
This is the wood of which most thread spools are made. . It is a
white color, is hard, strong, and tools are not dulled rapidly in cut-
ting it. , The peg material is first cut from the log as rotary veneer in
proper thickness for the peg that is to be made. The veneer is then
further manufactured, either into ribbons or finished pegs.

Pegs are several sizes, ranging in length from those about one-
third of an inch to nearly aninch. The short pegs are for light, thin
soles, the long ones for heels and the heaviest soles. Pegs are not
used in the manufacture of all kinds of shoes. Fine ones may have
none, the soles being sewed on. The largest use is in heavy shoes
and boots.. The pegged sole makes the shoe stiff and rigid and it is
apt to be less comfortable than the sewed sole, on the wearer's foot.

It is not possible to determine exactly how much-wood is re-
quired annually to furnish the country with shoe pegs. Available
statistics include pegs, shanks, and wooden heels all under one head,
and these articles call for 7,483,000 feet of paper birch; but it cannot

In some factories shoepegs are split from blocks instead of being
cut from veener. The disks are cut the length of the peg, grooves
are cut across the end in both directions forming squares the size of:
the peg, and at the same process each peg is pointed.

At a recent meeting of the Montreal Chambre de Commerce, it
was pointed out that the Forests Products Laboratories were anxious
to help lumbermen in the matter of information as to the uses of
particular woods. If, therefore, any member of the Chambre received
imquiries from abroad, it was a wrong policy to reply that a certain
kind of wood was not obtainable in Canada. A member should in-
quire the purpose for which the wood was required, and with the
assistance of the laboratories would be able to show what Canadian
wood would meet the requirements of the parties making inquiries.

J. C. Manzer, commercial representative in Cuba for the province
of New Brunswick, in a personal letter to a friend in Vancouver, ex-
presses the opinion that the Government of British Columbia should
do all it can toward establishing a line of ships between British Col-
umbia and Cuba. He says there should be a good opening in Cuba
for Douglas fir and spruce, which, according to dealers, would serve
the best purpose and command the same price as southern yellow
pine. At present high freight rates militate against successful trade.

reproduction showing scenes in the yard and plant of the company.
An attractive colored background is used in connection with each of

showing samples of finished woods.

At a meeting of the Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion in Calgary recently, a resolution was adopted that all members of
the Association contribute fifty per cent. of their net profits to the
Federal Government for patriotic purposes. Another resolution re-
commended to the members that every lumber manufacturer collect

_ one dollar per head each month from each unmarried employee for

_ patriotic purposes, unmarried employes not consenting to this arrange-
ment to be dismissed.

O the saw mill and woodworking industries we offer an unusually good belting vaiue in our
‘‘Acme Waterproof.” This belting is specially made from the best hides to run in wet
- i places where only the best quality belt can ‘‘make good.” If you require any belting
you should enquire into the merits of ‘‘Goodhue Belts” then you will buy a ‘‘Goodhue.” ‘
According to the conditions under which the belt has to run we recommend ‘‘Extra,”’ “Standard
or ‘‘Acme Waterproof”—each brand the best quality but each made for a different service.

LEVIATHAN and
ANACONDA have
been sold on a “make
good” basis for over
thirty years. If they
hadn’t made good we
would have been out
of business long ago.
The fact that our busi-
ness is progressing
tapidly is ample proof
of the merit of this
belting.

With every belt we
guarantee full value in
service, dollar for dol-
lar, horsepower for
horsepower, and just
as we have figured our
tables of horsepower
for the best results,
just so in making the
above statement, we
not only expect to
give equal service, but
BETTER SERVICE,
AND MORE ECON-
OMICALLY.

A Leviathan Main Drive in constant service for four years at the plant of the Riviere du Loup Pulp Co.—24 in x 6 ply.
No cost of up-keep; the belt has never been touched since the day it was installed.

Why not give us a trial order and let LEVIATHAN or ANACONDA prove itself ?

Gentlemen;

In reply to your query of recent date regarding service

rendered by the 14" Spartan Douole Belt you installed on our

quarter turn drive, we wish to say the velt has.been entirely

satisfactory, and owing to its extreme pliability and friction

we feel we have at last secured the right kind of belt for

this particular drive.

Yours truly,

LOGGING LOCOMOTIVES

The designs of our Logging locomotives are the
result of wide experience, extending over a period
of 80 years.

The material used in their construction is thor-
oughly, tested and is the best of its kind.

All details are accurately finished to standard

‘gauges and are absolutely interchangeable on all locomotives of the same class and size.

This cuts out long delays at critical times of the work, as parts liable to wear can be kept on hand or

shipped promptly from our works.

A Test In Your
Workshop

will convince you of this fact:

That it is cheaper to use two
files where you now use only one.

Take a certain piece of work
and give one man a new file, and
another a half worn file on a simi-
lar piece of work.

The man with the new file is

doing what you are paying him

for. The other man is filing away
your time.

The man with the new file
takes a pride in his work.

The man with the old file starts
with a grouch, and the work suffers.

When the inefficient point in
the files is reached it is good policy
for you to have your men discard
them.

And they should be replaced
with the five famous brands:

KEARNEY & FOOT
GREAT WESTERN
AMERICAN
ARCADE
GLOBE

(Made In Canada)

Made in Canada by a plant
controlling 90% of the file business.

Backed by 50 years’ experience
in the making of efficient files.

—DUNLOP—

Some Facts Concerning “Dunlop”

The story. back of the ‘““T'wo Hands” trade-mark—the phenomenal expansion of the business, the wide-
spread character of the demand—will appeal to every Canadian from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

* * *

The Dunlop Company is a truly Canadian institution, controlled by Canadians, and financed
entirely by Canadian capital. For approximately one-quarter of a century this Company has successfully
carried on the business of rubber goods manufacturing.

* * *

Some conception of how the Dunlop idea, applied to general rubber-made goods, has been popularized
can be gleaned from this statement :—

“The factory additions for 1912 were alone nearly as great as the entire floor area of seven
years previous; and in 1915 the additions were just double those of 1912.”

* * *

* * *
Officers of the Company regularly make tours of inspection from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
* * *

Dunlop Rubber Belts

A judicious selection of Main Drive Belts will cut your belt bills in half, as well as minimize mishaps
from belts going wrong.
* * *

All of our best experience in belt-miaking is represented in “Gibraltar Redspecial”—a friction face, main
drive belt—a radically ' different, most unusual belt. No service is too exacting; no condition is too
abnormal; no load is too heavy for “Gibraltar.” Will not dry nor rot, and is practically immune to stretch-
ing, as it is made by a process that automatically removes this evil.

* 7k *

« * *

Dunlop “Gibraltar Redspecial” (Light Duck) will be found most efficient on woodworking or other
high-speed machines.
* * *

We, also, make rubber-faced belts in any grade for main drive purposes. Two of these brands—
“Peerless” and “Record” are well-known for their superior qualities.

@ DUNLOP-@

Dunlop Hose

Fire Hose is a necessary adjunct to the equipment of every saw or lumber mill, because the risk of fire
in these industries is very great.

* * *

* * a
These are two of the main characteristics of “Dunlop” Double Jacket and “Imperial” Solid Woven
Jacket Fire Hose—two brands that are the pride of the largest fire departments in Canada. They, also,
‘ possess straight and smooth waterways, and the weight, grade and texture of the cotton jackets are always
right.
* * *

We supply other brands of Fite Hose with single or double cotton jacket or rubber cover, in any grade

to suit all requirements.

* * *
In this connection we wish you to remember that we are the only rubber company
in Canada authorized by the Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., Chicago, to manufacture Fire
Hose bearing their rubber label of approval.
* * *

If you use water hose you won’t be satisfied with any product other than Dunlop “Hercules” or
“Peerless”—two braids of hose admirably adapted for water purposes. “Hercules” will supply the need for
an unusual hose in case of abnormal usage.

Dunlop Packings

* * *

Is not this fact, then, tangible evidence of the character of the Dunlop product? Does it not satisfy
you that Dunlop Packings are what you need to solve the “rising up-keep cost” problem?

*K * *

We realize you want service from the packings you buy and we know that Dunlop Packings can give it.
Supposing, then, we get together before you order your next roll of packing.

* * *

The Dunlop trademark will also be found on Square Duck; C.B.S. and C.I. Spiral, or, in fact, on any

other kind of reliable packings required.
* * *

Tell us your requirements in rubber-made goods and we will endeavor to prove to you what you really
need in Belting, Hose and Packings.

may be the same as the quantity shown to be the annual growth, does
not mean that the forests are being cut in a safe manner. The im-
portant thing is to make sure that the proper trees are being cut,
those which are mature and those which, being cut, will give others a
better opportunity to reach maturity. The indiscriminate cutting of
small logs is a mistake, so far as the welfare of the forests is con-
cerned, and the government of New Brunswick must pay special at-
tention, under the conditions which exist today, to the proper regula-
tion of cutting, so as to get the best results out of the forests and at
the same time give reasonable encouragement to the lumber industry.

The Government have taken steps recently, we undrstand, to
deal with this situation by appointing an experienced forester with
instructions to make a survey of the forests of the Province and se-
cure all the information essential for the proper regulation of lumber-
ing operations. The survey, when complete, will show the areas of
merchantable timber of all kinds, the amounts of each species, the
approximate rate of annual growth of each, as well as the areas of good
agricultural value and land suitable only for the production of timber.

Mr. P. Z. Caverhill late of the British Columbia Forestry Depart-
ment is in charge of this work and it is expected that three or four
field parties will be at work this year, comprising thirty or forty men,
who should cover from 75 to 100 square miles per month. The num-
ber of field parties will gradually be increased to eight or ten. The
whole work is expected to require four or five years.

Mr. H. R. MacMillan in India

The action of the Canadian Government in sending a Special
Lumber Trade Commissioner on a trip round the world to enquire
into export markets for Canadian forest products, is commented upon
favorably by the daily press of India. During his presence in Cal-
cutta, one of the newspapers referred to Mr. H. R. MacMillan’s visit
as follows :—

“In the past five or six years we have heard of very nearly all
our colonies sending abroad all over the world Special Trade Com-
missioners. I have not seen it suggested that the Government of
India have ever considered the question of appointing such Trade Com-
missioners to travel around and consider trade questions affecting
this country. With all the talk we hear of India getting some larger
share of the world’s business after the war is over, it rather strikes
one that the present would be an excellent time for a representative
of Government in the Commerce and Industry Department to make a
tour round and see a few things from a practical point of view in
relation to Indian trade requirements and the capabilities in the way
of supplying products. The Canadian Government saw the possibil-
ties of the position months ago and we have in Calcutta now the
Chief Forester of British Columbia who has been sent round the world
by his Government as a Special Lumber Trade Commissioner; one
of the ideas of Mr. MacMillan’s commission seems to be an investiga-
tion as to the possibility some day in the near future of trade reci-
procity between Canada and India. Hitherto, as is well known, such
Indian commodities as there is a demand for in Canada have gone
into the Dominion Colonies via America with the assistance of Ameri-
can finance and through American merchants. But as the purchas-
ing power of Canada increases, it stands to reason, Canadian mer-
chants should be able to, and should be encouraged to deal direct
with this country. The ports in British Columbia should offer as
good entrepots for merchandise from India as any on the American
Pacific coast. The establishment of a direct steamship line between
India and Canadian Pacific coast ports is only a matter of time. It
is understood that the policy of the Canadian Government is not to
subsidise impractical dead heads, but to assist its active industries by
introducing them to the notice of the world’s markets; and at the
same time assuring consumers abroad that Canada is capable of sup-
plying what her Government Department, after investigation, are
satisfied that she can supply. It is a simple proposition after all, and
it is real business, and about as far as a government ought to go.
There is probably less commerce subsidising by foreign governments
than many of us believe. Subsidies are not always the best incentive
to forcefulness and independence and self reliance.”

Important U. S. Railroad Rate Hearing

The most important railroad rate hearing in the history of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, of the United States, at which the
whole problem of rates and classification of lumber will come up, has
been announced for this summer in Chicago. After years of special
hearings by various examiners and commissioners, the chairman of the
commission will himself take charge of the investigation.

The problem will be taken up at the Chicago hearing soon after
July 1, and will be discussed until the whole problem has been gone
through to the very bottom, from every angle. When this hearing is
completed it will have been the most thorough ever held of rate
problems, and will form the basis for the adjustment of railroad rates
on lumber in all parts of the United States. It will settle problems
of classification, carload shipments of mixed products, and a thousand
and one special problems.

As a phase of the hearing, the National Lumber Manufacturers’
Association has begun the compiling of detailed records of 50,000
carload shipments in three months of the past year. These tabula-
tions will provide the most exhaustive record of freight shipments
ever computed. Manufacturers are being asked to provide the Na-
tional Association; on special blanks, records of all their shipments
for the months of January, May and September, 1915, and the ex-
haustive nature of the inquiry is shown by the following list of ques-
tions to be answered relating to every one of these 50,000 carloads:
Date of shipment, car number, weight, rate, total. freight charges,
invoiced value of carload, f.o.b. mill, destination, routed kind of tim-

Ontario’s Forest

The annual report of the Woods and Forest branch of the De-
partment of Lands, Forests and Mines for the Province of Ontario
for the year ending October 21st, 1915, reflects fairly definitely the
situation which existed in the lumbering industry during the year.
The lumber business in Ontario suffered greatly last year on account
of the falling off in the local demand for lumber and on account of the
difficulty experienced by exporting firms in making shipments of
their product. The revenue accrued to the Province from woods and
forests on Crown Lands amounted only to $1,629,640, which is a de-
crease of $379,481, as compared with the preceding year. As com-
pared with 1913, the last complete year during which the influence
of the war was not felt, the decrease is still greater. During 1913 the
revenue amounted to $2,127,222, which is $497,572 greater than the
revenue of 1915. The revenue receipts from 1911 to 1915 inclusive
were as follows :—1911, $2,151,258; 1912, $2,068,060; 1913, $2,127,222;
1914, $2,009,131; 1915, $1,629,640, showing an almost continual annual
decrease since 1911.

The attitude of the lumber manufacturers is shown by the fol :

meeting, representing lumber manufacturing, wholesaling, and ret ail
ing and allied interests:

“Be it resolved that this body is strongly of the. opinion |
there should be no change in the classification of lumber and lur ;
products which would or might result in different rates on the ord
ary and customary products of the lumber manufacturing er
ther shipped in straight or mixed carload lots.

“That this body is convinced that lumber has borne more th
its proportion of the expense of enSpOreeye and any re-clas
tion will only result in a higher basis of rates.”

The purpose of the lumber manufacturers is to's at

ruling which will prevent the necessity for constant loa pres
tests, before state commissions, and involving constant icant be-
tween the railroads and the lumbermen. With one general ag

ment reached, present high costs for these constant rate hearings
will be ended, and future differences very largely minimized.

Most of the decrease during 1915 can be accounted for by the de-
crease in the quantity of railway ties taken out, the total being on y
729,164 ties as against 5,439,845 during 1914. The railway companies:
did practically nothing last year in the way of purchasing ties, whereas.
during the two or three years preceding they had bought heavily.
During 1913 they took 6,555,828 ties, during 1912, 5 bi and dum
ing 1911, 4,270,832.

Another important decrease during 1913 was in ine dues
which amounted to $928,351, a decrease of $184,129. During the
previous four years the revenue from timber dues was as follows:
1914, $1,112,480 ; 1913, $1,277,490; 1912, $1,339,957 ; 1911, $1,173,283.

Revival in
In an article dealing generally with the industrial position in
Canada published recently by the Globe, the following reference is

made to the situation in connection with the lumbering industry,
under the heading “Revival in Lumbering” :—

“Another important industry which will emerge from the war
upon a more substantial basis than ever before is that of lumbering.
The decision of various Dominion Government departments having to
do with the construction of public buildings, ete., to use nothing but
Canadian timber in the future has been followed by some large cor-
porations. Asis pointed out by “Conservation,” Southern pine, even
in 1915, when Canada was at war, and when there was a great de-
crease in the consumption of lumber, was imported to the extent of

95,000,000 feet, having a value of over $3,000.000.

“The Dominion Government has in past years used many million
feet of Southern pine in various public works, but henceforth Canad-
ian timber will be used. Douglas fir will replace Southern pine in
such works as Quebec and Montreal harbor improvements and Hud-

that Canadian timber only shall be used in works of the Canadian
Pacific Railway shows that large private users are also finding it con-
sistent with present conditions to use Canadian products. Architec-_ :
tural and engineering professions also are replacing Southern pine by
Douglas fir, and the imported woods by the homegrown product. —

adopted by the Provincial Government in alliance with the agri-
cultural authorities of the prairie provinces have received a great
deal of attention. The main idea underlying this work has been to

“studied through the establishment of a branch office of the

the proposed vote of $50,000 to aid the lumber industry of the pro-
vince. He stated that agencies had been opened at Regina, Toronto
and London, England; which were maintained under this vote and
were stimulating the demand for British Columbia lumber. In reply
to an enquiry regarding orders from the British Admiralty which
were being placed with Oregon and Washington mills, Hon. Mr..
Ross said that this had been a matter of much anxiety to the Gov-
ernment for a time, but that, when these purchases were made all
purchases on this continent had been going through the agency of
the J. P. Morgan Company. Now, however, the B. C. Government
had got into direct contact with the Admiralty and hereafter business

-of this sort would be handled direct between British Columbia and

the allied countries.

Plans are under way for the formation of a company to build
ten large lumber schooners at Tacoma, Wash. The vessels are to
cost from $70,000 to $80,000 each. They will be about 225 feet long,
constructed of wood, four-masted and equipped with Diesel engines.
They will have a capacity for carrying 1,500,000 feet of lumber each.
The vessels will be built one at a time.

New York a Gilded Pragedy

N (Sydney Brooks in North American Review)

stinctively reaching out to draw down the blinds lest a Zeppelin
raider should note the glare; and of all the sights that crowd in
upon me, that of multitudes of young men who are not in kahki
strikes me as the strangest and the most repellent. It may be
one more proof of our demented state, but it is the bare fact that
not for anything would we in England change places with you
in America or part with the waste and misery of the war to
receive in return the “blessings” of such a peace as yours. Stay-
at-home Americans simply cannot enter into or even conceive
the atmosphere of the belligerent nations in this struggle; and
conversely, so long as it lasts, a visitor from any one of the coun-
tries at war will continue to be shocked by the atmosphere of
America as something unnatural to the point of being grotesque.
In New York the fact and the vastness of this chasm of sen-
timent assail the visitor with the sharp finality of a bayonet
thrust. Louvain and Rheims are among the stricken victims of
the war, but New York is its supreme and gilded tragedy, and
has, I fear, neither the sense nor the soul to know it. Americans
~ must by now have heard of the English charwoman whose hus-
band was at the front and who was drawing her weekly allow-
ance. She was asked what she thought of the war.
_ “What!” she replied. “A pound a week and ho ‘usband!
Why, it’s ’eaven! It’s too good to last!”
There is something in New York’s attitude towards the war
which reminds one of this simple soul.

Architect Urges Use of Canadian Woods
A. R. Denison Sounds were oe cia ni atop Retailers a Pointer

At a recent weekly meeting of the Lumbermen’s Section of the
Toronto Board of Trade an address was delivered by Mr. A. R. Deni-
son, of the firm of Denison & Stephenson, well known Toronto archi-
tects. Mr. Denison spoke on two subjects, one being the importance
of using Canadian timber whenever possible and the other being a
suggested plan for co-operation between lumbermen, architects, and
owners of buildings under construction, with a view to making more
satisfactory arrangements for the settlement of lumbermen’s accounts
for material supplied.

In opening his remarks Mr. Denison stated that he had made a
hobby of the erection of mill-constructed buildings. He believed
that they were a better class of building for commercial purposes than
steel and concrete construction. He had put up a great many mill-
constructed buildings in Toronto and elsewhere and had thus come
into pretty close contact with lumbermen, as a large percentage of
the cost of these buildings was in timber and lumber. In a recent
case, when putting up a building of this class, he had taken special
precautions to secure the lumberman—to see that the latter got his
money. He had made a verbal arrangement with the contractor, the
owner and the lumberman, to the effect that he should state in his
progress certificates the proportion of money that was to be paid to
the lumberman when the contractor presented his certificate to the
owner. Unfortunately there had been a missing link in this chain.
On the first certificate he assumed that the lumberman had got his
money. On the second certificate he made the same assumption. When
he issued the third certificate, however, he got a hint that the lumber-
man had not been getting his share, so he called him up and asked him
about it. The lumberman and the contractor were friends and the
lumberman said that the contractor was all right and that he was
sure he would get his money. It turned out that the contractor had
been paying the lumberman some of his money and giving him notes
for the balance and that he had then over $5,000 of money in his pos-
session that should have gone to the lumberman. After that, Mr.
Denison had made a new arrangement and the money was paid by the
owner straight to the lumberman, while the architect still held back
the 20 per cent. allowed by the law. This lumberman had accepted
a note for 60 days. The architect could only hold the 20 per cent. for
30 days. He was really powerless to help the lumberman unless the
latter would co-operate with him fully.

Separate Cheques For Lumber Bills

Mr. Denison went into this situation more in detail and finally
asked why something should not be done to put the whole situation
beyond any peradventure. It seemed to him this would be quite easy
if the interested parties would get together. His idea was that an
arrangement should be made in writing between the proprietor and
the contractor at the time of signing the contract, requiring the con-
tractor to submit to the proprietor a summary of the lumber to be used
in the building; and further, that a statement should be rendered to
the proprietor from time to time during the continuance of the work,
and that the proprietor should be required to draw separate cheques in
tavor of the lumber merchant as each certificate became due; the lum-
ber merchant to be subject to a drawback clause of 80 per cent. in the
contract and also to have a claim upon the 20 per cent. retained by
the architect; a duplicate statement to be rendered to the architect if
required. He believed that a plan of this sort, in which the owner,
the architect and the contractor co-operated would remove a great
deal of trouble. Jf the lumbermen would take it up and pass a de-
finite resolution in regard to it, asking the architects to co-operate, he
would put the matter before the architects, and felt pretty sure that
they would fall in line.

Canadian Timbers the Best

Mr. Denison is a strong advocate of using Canadian timbers
wherever possible, and, in discussing this subject, referred to the fact
that the original Toronto city by-law made Georgia pine the basis for
timber construction purposes. He had asked the city architect to
use B. C. fir for such purposes and had simply been told that it was
not allowed by the by-law and could not be done. This was a mis-
taken view of the city architects’s business. He should have been
interested solely in the strength of the timbers used, not the variety
of timber. Alhough he expressed this opinion to the city architect at
that time, the reply he received was simply that Douglas fir was not
allowed by the by-law and he was not going to permit it to be used.
Mr. Denison stated that he had told the architect he was going to put
up two buildings near one another. One of them would be of Douglas
fir and one of Georgia pine and the city architect could try to stop

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

him if he liked. He went ahead. The timber was delivered on the >
job and he was told to stop. He did not stop and was hailed before a
judge who upheld him, saying that he was quite within his rights so
long as the timber used was of the required strength. In order to
satisfy themselves regarding the strength, Mr. Denison told them
select timber from the piles that had been delivered for the jobs. Thi
was done, a sample being taken from each job. He stated that if t
result did not show that Douglas fir was better than Georgia pine
would be willing to pay the cost. The Georgia pine selected
8% in. x 1934 in. x 18 ft. long. The Douglas fir stick was 8 in. x Bh
in. x 18 ft. long. The tests were made at the School of Practi
Science, Toronto. The Georgia pine stick broke off at 43,550 Ibs.,
the Douglas fir stick split lengthwise but did not break at 55,320 Ibs.
From that day on they had been allowed to use Douglas fir.

Douglas fir was unquestionably the best wood they could get for
construction purposes. It was also the strongest wood and it was
one of our own native woods. He urged that lumbermen, architects —
and contractors should put forth every effort to use Canadian ma-
terials on Canadian buildings. Mr. Denison referred to instances of —
failure that he had come across in using Georgia pine. He had been
obliged to take out at least six sticks of long leaf pine within five
years from the time they were put in, because of dry rot. There
seemed to be a failure in a certain percentage of Georgia pine stock. It
really required an expert to know Georgia pine. In fact, he had
known of men who called themselves experts, who differed with one
another in deciding whether certain southern timbers were long leaf
pine or not. He had always found that Georgia pine checked to a
greater extent than Douglas fir. It was also much more ae arin
as it was full of gum and was easy to set on fire.

The speaker urged the lumbermen to commence at once upon an —
effort to encourage the use of Canadian woods. The Dominion Goy-
ernment had taken a step in this direction by passing an order that
nothing but Douglas fir was to be used in the construction of public —
works. If an effort were made along this line and followed up vig-
orously it would make a great difference to Canadian lumber manu-
facturers. He understood that during the last year over four million
dollars worth of Georgia pine had been imported into Canada. In
normal times he understood that the amotint was far greater.

Where The Architect Suffers

At the bottom of all this question there was a very sore point.
Frequently they would see a company with a name that would lead
one to suppose that it was a Canadian company, who in the construc- ©
tion of large buildings employed American architects. The Ameri-
can architects would naturally specify American brick, American
wood, etc. Every lock, every fitting, the plumbing, everything
throughout the building ‘would be brought in from the United States
because the architect would be getting his percentage on every one of
these items. Canadian architects would not be allowed to put up —
buildings in the United States. Canadian dentists, veterinary surg-
eons, lawyers, doctors, all classes of professional men, except the
architects were protected against this sort of thing. Moreover the
brick-layer and the carpenter were also protected in Canada to a cer-
tain extent by the alien labor law. -In this way the Americans were
cutting both the lumbermen and the architect out of their own busi-—
ness. In order to carry out this kind of work the contractor who
wanted to make use of a United States architect had no trouble at all.
He simply obtained blue prints and had them put through the customs
at their cost, paying in duty a nominal sum of a few dollars. Under
present conditions there was no escaping from this situation, but he
believed that the architects, in a short time, would make an effort to —
have the law enforced more fairly in connection with the importation

of plans.

In conclusion Mr. Denison repeated his hope that the ingibeeaten "
would do something definite in regard to his suggestion about COs
operation between owners, contractors and lumbermen, regarding thes
issuing of separate cheques during the progress of the work. An in-
teresting discussion followed Mr. Denison’s remarks and the chair-
man, Mr. J. B. Reid, stated that he and Mr. W. J. Hetherington would |
act as a committee to draw up a resolution upon Mr. Denison’s pro-—
posal. This resolution would be submitted to the section at a later
meeting and he expected that, in the very near future, something de-
finite would be forthcoming to lay before the architects. . Mr. Deni-
son repeated his assurance that if this were done the architects would
be ready to co-operate, _

Death of Donald Fraser Sr., Fredericton, N. B.

Mr. Donald Fraser, Sr., of
Fredericton, N. B., one of the
most extensive lumber dealers in
Eastern Canada, died on April
4th at his home in Fredericton,
after an illness of less than one
week.

The late Donald Fraser was
born at Drumoak in Aberdeen-
shire, Scotland, on February 5th,
1842 and began his business

reer in, Aberdeen where he

formed a partnership with his
brother Alexander under the firm
name of A. & D. Fraser, Timber
Merchants. This business was
continued until 1873 when Don-
ald Fraser, Sr., moved to New
Brunswick. There he settled on
a farm at Kincardine, Victoria
County. Four years after his
arrival in New Brunswick he
went once more into the lumber
business, locating at River De
Chute, Carleton County, N. B. During the next seventeen years he
laid the foundation of the business with which his name has since
been associated. : '
Tn 1894 Mr, Fraser built the “Aberdeen Mill” at Fredericton,
which was subsequently destroyed by fire. In 1899, together with his
sons Donald and Archibald whom he had taken into partnership, he
acquired a lumber business in Temiscouata County, Quebec, and built
the town of Cabano. In 1902 he purchased the business of the Tobi-
que Manufacturing Company in Victoria County, N. B., re-organizing
it under the name of the Fraser Lumber Company, Limited. In 1906
the business of the St. Francis Lumber Company at Whitworth in
Temiscouata County was purchased and organized under the name of
F. & M. Lumber Company, Limited. In 1911 Mr. Fraser bought
from James Murchie & Sons Company the Murchie Siegniory in Tem-
iscouata County and the milling business at Edmunston, N. B. or-
ganizing them under the name of Fraser Limited, which now controls
all the Fraser business in New Brunswick aside from that on the Tobi-
que River. P

In 1913 the Scott Lumber Company and the Oromocto Lumber
Companies’ properties were acquired and consolidated by Fraser Lim-
ited. In 1914 the Fraser interests acquired the Assametquaghan
Limits in Bonaventure and Matane counties and the Chabot Limits in
Kamouraska County, Quebec. In 1915 Fraser Limited took over the
Timothy Lynch Company’s business on the Miramichi and began the
construction of the new sawmill at Nelson, N. B., while the F. & M.
Lumber Company, Limited, began the construction of a new mill at
St. Eleuthere, in Kamouraska County, Quebec.

The late Mr. Fraser was President of all the Companies bearing
his name and took an active interest in their affairs up to the time of
his death. '

Mr. Fraser was a devout member of the Presbyterian Church, a
man of strong faith, and widely recognized as not only a successful
‘business man but a man of wide human sympathies. His loss will
be a great one both to the lumbering industry and to the people of
New Brunswick.

The Late Donald Fraser, Sr.,
Fredericton, N.B.

David MacLaren of Ottawa Passes Away

David Maclaren, one of the best known lumbermen of the Ottawa
Valley, died at his home in Ottawa on April 7th, after a lingering
illness. The late Mr. Maclaren was born in Masham Township, Que-
bec, on October 5, 1845. His father, James Maclaren, was one of the
foremost lumber merchants of Canada. David Maclaren was quite
‘a young man when he entered’the business with his father in 1871.

Tn 1874 he took over the management of the Gatineau and Ottawa
Rivers Branch of the business, with headquarters at Wakefield, P. QO.
He took a great interest in municipal and financial affairs and also

‘contributed liberally to many charities. He was a director of the
rth Pacific Lumber Company, Limited, the Jas. Maclaren Com-
iy, and a number of others, besides being a former president of

the Bank of Ottawa.

Mr. J. J. McNeil, Toronto, died on April 8th at the age of 65.
ate Mr. McNeil was for many years prominent in the lumber
siness in the Muskoka district. He moved to Toronto in 1897 and
that time had been associated with the Metagama Lumber Com-
W. J. Sheppard & Company and the Spanish River Pulp and
mmpany. Since 1907 he had been operating in the Temis-

trict.

Forestry Battalion Ready to Embark

The 224th (Forestry) Battalion, under the command of Lt.-Col.
Alex. McDougall, which has been raised to cut timber in Great Brit-
ain and France, has been completed to a strength of 1,525 men and
has now been mobilized at Quebec. It will proceed to Great Britain
as soon as transports are available. A new record in recruiting and
mobilization has been established by the battalion. The men were
mobilized within three weeks from the day when recruiting started.
By next month the battalion will be actively at work cutting forests
in England and Scotland and providing timber and material required
at the front. Subsequently they will proceed to France and will
engage in similar work there.

In connection with the 224th (Forestry) Battalion, the Patriotic
Fund, headquarters at Ottawa, have come to a decision that the

‘Battalion cannot be regarded as in the same class as combatant units

and that the families of men serving in this battalion should not be
entitled to assistance from the fund. However, if a man whose family
is already being assisted by the fund, having enlisted in a combatant
battalion, is transferred at the will of the militia authorities and not
at his own request, into the Forestry Battalion, his family is entitled
to special consideration, and may be assisted at the usual rates. Also,
if a member of the Forestry Battalion is transferred to a combatant
battalion his family may be given special consideration.

B. C. Manufacturers Want Export Duty on Logs

Representatives of lumber and shingle manufacturers interviewed
the Executive Council at Victoria, B. C., on April 4th, to press their
request for an export duty upon logs. They claimed that they were
now able to take care of all the logs furnished by the logging com-
panies in British Columbia, but, owing to the fact that the export
duty had been waived by the Government a large quantity of logs
were being exported to the United States, where higher prices were
offered.

Representatives of the loggers were also present and stated that
they were quite willing to sell to B. C. mills, but that the B. C. mill
men could not afford to buy. They argued that they should be given
the privilege of an unrestricted market.

This matter has been before the Government for some time.
Premier will give a decision as early as possible.

The

Western Timber Beginning to Move

The Prince Rupert Timber and Lumber Company, Vancouver,
B. C., have sold ten timber claims, comprising over 125 million feet
of timber, largely Douglas fir, to the Seymour Lumber Company, of °
Minneapolis, Minn. The claims are in one block on Sechelt Inlet,
within 65 miles of Vancouver. The Seymour Company intend to take
the timber off as soon as possible and is said to have already com-
pleted contracts for logging. The price paid was $125,000, or $1 per
thousand on the stump.

The Prince Rupert Timber & Lumber Company have also sold
to the Finger Lumber Company, four timber berths, near Prince
Albert, Sask., comprising about sixty million feet of timber, the price
being $60,000 cash.

Mr. E. H. Moore, president of the company, in a recent inter-
view, said that the present outlook for timber was encouraging. There
was more enquiry of a really serious nature than there had been for
the past ten years. Only the scarcity of money had prevented the
closing of a number of good offers they had received lately for tracts
of timber on the coast. The demand for small tracts of good timber,
running well to cedar, has been very active.

Cost of Making Shell Boxes

It has been popularly supposed that the manufacture of ammuni-
tion boxes was very simple and that it was a most lucrative form of
business requiring little experience. Those who were engaged in
the box business prior to the war, however, know that the margin be-
tween cost and selling price has been very small, and that the bal-
ance will be on the wrong side unless the items of expense are
watched very closely. Contracts for shell boxes have been accepted
at what seem to be unprofitable prices, and in the April issue of the
“Canadian Woodworker and Furniture Manufacturer,” Toronto, an
authority on the subject has written a lengthy article showing in de-
tail what it costs to manufacture the 18-pounder 6-round shell box,
which has been produced in large quantities. The figures he gives
are instructive and should be studied by all who are interested in
knowing their costs. They are equally applicable to the other styles
of shell boxes. :

The Brooklyn Lumber Company, Hants County, N. S., will have
a cut of about 8,000,000 feet this summer; Ira C. Crowe will cut 4,000,-
000 feet; Mr. Bullivant, 4,000,000 feet; Geo. Cole, 2,000,000 feet;
Watson Burgess, 1,000,000 feet, and John McClair 1,000,000 feet.

Annual Report of B. C. Forest

Statistics of Output— Market Extension Campaign Results—Forest
Fires Well Controlled ;

The annual report of the Forest Branch of the Department of
Lands of British Columbia, for the year ending December 31st, 1915,
has just been published. The report opens with an outline of the
market extension work carried on by the Branch, referring chiefly to
the work of Mr. H. R. MacMillan, Chief Forrester of the Province,
who is now on a trip around the world investigating the export
markets for Canadian timber and lumber. Referring to Mr. Mac-
Millan’s work in Great Britain, the report states that a number of.
orders were received through his activities there, and gives the follow-
ing list of cargoes handled through the Forest Branch :—

Referring to these shipments the report states that a notable feat-
ure of the business was the proportion of lower grades taken. In addi-
tion, 956,000 feet, worth $15,000, was lifted by the prize vessel “Gra-

40,600

‘hamland,” which was lent to the Provincial Government for this pur-

pose, making a total of $206.000 in addition to other cargoes placed in
the Province as a result of representations made by the Provincial
Government. This promising line of business with the British auth-
orities was nipped in the bud by the disastrous slide in the Panama
Canal. Although an attempt has since been made to do business by
combined rail-haul‘and Atlantic shipment via St. John, orders have not
yet been secured, in spite of a considerable reduction in freight rates
offered by the railways. The only exception in this has been the se-
curing of an order for 320,000 boxes which the Forest Branch is handl-
ing for the War Office during- the present month.

The most notable feature of this work was the excellent way in
which the export mills of the Province came together to share orders.
The need for co-operative action was indeed one of the matters em-
phasized in every report received from Mr. MacMillan. His recent
investigation into the South African market, for instance, shows that
while co-operation among British Columbia mills is a first essential
for success, a stable market for Douglas fir there can never be secured
until some international agreement is reached that will bring the pre-
sent suicidal cutting of Pacific Coast export prices to an end.

Referring to domestic markets the report says:—While British
Columbia, by reason of location and export facilities, must make every
effort to secure its full share of the export lumber trade, the main
inarkets for its products are on this continent. In proportion to
population Canada uses more lumber than any other country, and
despite the fact that, with the exception of the Prairie region, the Dom-
inion is essentially a forest country, the timbered areas of Eastern
Canada are already unable to supply the local demand. Both East-
ern Canada and the Prairie Provinces have in the past imported
hundreds of millions of feet of rough lumber from the United States.

The largest market for British Columbia lumber will always be
in neighboring Prairie Provinces, which consume at least 60 per cent.
of the total B. C. production. It was the shrinkage in the Prairie de-
mand, combined with the heavy fall in lumber prices and the decrease
in consumption in British Columbia itself, which brought about de-
pression in the industry of this Province. With town and city build-
ing operations in the West at a standstill for the time being, and with
the existing programme of railroad construction more or less com-
pleted, the difficult problem of how to increase the consumption of
lumber in the Province has been pressing for solution.

British Columbia Commissioner in Eastern Canada

In the aggregate the departments of the Dominion and Provincial
Governments and the larger cities are purchasers of lumber on a very
large scale. . Railway-construction, harbor improvements, and other
public works consume considerable quantities of heavy timber. Then
there are immense quantities of lumber used in general bu:lding-work.

Besides this large market in Eastern Canada for dimension lum-
ber, there is a very extensive demand for moderate-priced wood for in-
terior finish. From the earliest times the Eastern lumber market has
been supplied by Ontario white or Norway pine, and in recent years to
a large extent by imported southern pine.

British Columbia possesses dimension and rough lumber of a,
quality equal or superior to imported stock and wood for inside finish

which for beauty of grain is unsurpassed except by hardwoods, East-

ern Canada constitutes a natural field for expansion of British Col
bia’s lumber market, particularly since the completion of the Panam:
Canal has rendered direct water shipment possible.

In taking up market extension work it early became very e ider
that the educational methods adopted by private organizations |
create a market for their product would have to be adopted if eff
results were to be obtained quickly. This involved plating ;
dealers, consumers, and possible purchasers the facts concerning
qualities, merits, and uses of woods and wooden products. In
tion covering these subjects was collected and printed in the
pamphlets. These were distributed either direct to the cla
would be specially interested or in response to inquiries r
through publicity work. fe,

This large amount is well distributed, as there are practically ne
districts or communities that are not directly influenced by the har
vesting of the timber resources of the Province. 5,
British Columbia, from its position relative to markets, has no
large wood-working industries. This is shown by the fact that o
of all the timber sawn in 1914 only 20,000,000 was used as a raw ma-
terial for further manufactured articles. Of this 18,000,000 was manu-
factured into boxes, 1,000,000 in sash and doors and interior fixtures,
200,000 in cooperage, and the balance in a number of smaller uses
such as caskets, cars, boats, etc. This remanufacture is an import
asset to the Province and should be encouraged in every possible °
The more valuable the finished product that is sold the more mo
that is left in the Province in labor, supplies, equipment, etc. ma
The wood-using industry of Ontario, for instance, is
$19,000,000 a year according to statistics gathered by the Dominic
Forestry Branch. This is made possible by the large mark
Eastern Canada, which uses large quantities of wood in the manuti
ture of sash and doors, boxes, furniture, vehicles, implements, s
cooperage, etc. x
British Columbia has not got a large market close at hand y
demands these products. Moreover, in any new, country the
step is to manufacture lumber which can be sold for a multitu
uses, instead of specializing on special articles of h
manufacture with a more uncertain market. It is true, however, f!
the very fact that British Columbia lumber product has to stand a
latively high transportation cost makes it all the more imperative
the products transported should have as high a value at the shippi
point as possible. Why, for instance, should British Columbia
lumber to Ontario, there to be manufactured into doors? Instead

Timber Scaled, 1915.

_ The scale returns are a good index of the activity in the lumber
ry throughout the Province. The salient features of the figures
are the increased cut of logs and cordwood and the decreased
of piling and ties. The lower figures for the latter items are due
smaller amount of railway-construction, which consumes im-
uantities of these articles. :
e increase in cordwood returns is accounted for by the steady
for shingle-bolts.
increase in the log returns came almost entirely from Van-
“the cut in the Interior districts being markedly less than in

season when there were 639 “‘cost fires.” The average cost of each
“cost fire” was $61, whereas in 1914 the average cost was $219. About
two-thirds of all fires originated on privately owned lands not classed
as timber lands. The most prolific source of forest fires was careless-
ness by campers and travellers which accounted for 305 fires, or 29.6
per cent. of the total. 160 fires, or 15.5 per cent. are classified as of
“unknown cause.” Brush-burning accounted for 267 fires or 29.9
per cent. Railway operations were responsible for only 82 fires or
7. percent. Lighting started 100 fires or 9.7 per cent. Railway con-
struction was responsible for 17 fires or 1.7 per cent. 28 fires are
classified as of incendiary origin being 2.7 per cent. of the total.
Forest fires during the year covered an area of 30,310 acres as com-
pared with 42,549 acres during 1914. They destroyed 144,220,000
feet of timber as compared with 102,804,000 feet B. M. during 1914.
The damage during 1915 is estimated at $88,043, as compared with

$52,852 during 1914.

of the results secured from timber treated properly with preservatives
and those not so treated. Woods in use for thirty years were shown
which had been used under correct conditions, some of the old ties
and poles being as sound now as when they were laid. The exhibit,
which was arranged for the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation by the Southern Pine Association, was devoted entirely to this
educational phase of the problem, showing engineers how wood can
be made practically everlasting if it is properly used for construction
work. Another part of the lumber exhibit was a model of a building
actually erected in Chicago, of mill construction, timber frame, and
floors throughout, as a demonstration of the engineering side of such
construction. The most amazing phase of the exhibit was the ex-
planation that a factory building of that type could be insured for
7 or 8 cents per $100, and that the cost of construction was only $1.29
per square foot.

In the cypress exhibit the features were the showing of lumber
from old southern houses, still sofind though erected in 1860. Tie
and pole samples were also shown of the “wood everlasting.”

In another corner of the coliseum was an exhibit of fir from the”
west, representing the Washington mills, which specialize in rail-

“road and structural. timber for railroads.

A budget of comment presented in the interest of public welfare, independent
of party politics and with malice toward no one.

After eighteen months of silence “Industrial Canada,” the mouthpiece of
the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, has joined its voice to those of other
journals that could not stomach what went on at Ottawa in connection with
the letting of contracts for shells and fuses by the late Shell Committee. “In-
dustrial Canada” tells us in its latest issue a few things it knows about fuse
contracts and says that eighteen months ago the Canadian Manufacturers’
Association went to the Government and tried to make it realize that the.
“license to loot” ought to be terminated. Their warnings, like those of many
of the Government’s political supporters were, according to “Industrial Can-
ada” allowed to pass unheeded. So, at this late date, after giving the matter
eighteen months of silent thought, the organ of the Canadian Manufacturers’
Association, the members of which are both liberal and conservative comes
into the lime-light with its statement of some of the things that have come
under its notice.

* * 2

I will outline the story told by “Industrial Canada” a little later on, after
1 have said what I feel about the part this mouthpiece of the manufacturers
has been taking. | While the making public of this story is better late than
never, I cannot help wondering how such a journal can square itself with its
own conscience for having kept silence all these months. It seems to me that®
this is just.another example of the weakness exhibited by 90) per cent. of the
journals of Canada in failing to do their plain duty. What is a public journal
for, if it is not to tell the public some of the plain facts about its public men,
especially when the good name of the country is being soiled? When the
testing time comes, many of these journals lack the backbone, or the nerve to
speak out. They act the part of Falstaff whose chief maxim was the com-
fortable idea that “discretion is the better part of valor’ and they just keep
mum. They wait until the burglar gets away with the swag, and finally, when
so much has been filched from the public purse that no one can shut his eyes
to it any longer, some of them join in the chase with a great hue and cry.
Why did not “Industrial Canada,” in the interests of manufacturers, make
its public protest eighteen months ago, when the trail was hot and there was
some prospect of getting hold of the culprits before they cleared off with
whole skins and a big swag? It was left to this paper—the Canada Lumber-
man—to make the first protest in the interests of the manufacturers of Can-
ada, and in the interests of clean government and the good name of the
people of Canada; and for some time it was left to us also to continue the
protest almost alone. The Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, through
' their organ “Industrial Canada” made their protest silently and without effect
eighteen months ago. They should have followed this up at that time with
a public statement, instead of waiting for eighteen months and watching the
continuation of those evils about which they told the government in a
whisper.

piece.

”

Here is the story of “Industrial Canada,” told as briefly as we can put
it:—Eighteen months ago the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association ap-
proached the Government and told them some of the things they knew about
the way in which fuse contracts were being given to Americans and refused
to Canadians, and what people were saying about it all. “The reception giv en
these suggestions,” says Industrial Canada, “was not of a character calculated
to invite further co-operation.” ncaa

“There are limits,” Industrial Canada continues, “to the patience of loyal
citizens, even in war time, and much as we may deplore the disgrace that the
fuse scandal has brought publicly home to Canada, and warmly as we
resent the effort to make political capital out of it at a time when our natior
energies ought all to be centred on winning the war, there is no getting
from the fact that the situation wads intolerable, and that the license to.
had to be terminated.” cet

After a little more in the way of an introduction, the article continues, say-—
ing that Mr. T. A. Russell and Mr. Lloyd Harris, of the Russell Motor Bois
Company Ltd., heard in April, 1915 that fuse contracts had been ‘ ‘going
ging,” since November 1914. Their first information about it “was receive in
New York from Sir Sam Hughes, who, by personal introduction refeired pay
to Col. Allison in the Manhattan Hotel for details. Preferring to do business _
direct with the Shell Committee, Messrs. Russell and Harris went to Montreal
and made overtures to the Committee through Gen. Bertram and Col. Carne-
gie.” The up-shot of this business was that they were again referred to Col. *¢
Allison “who was said to have the matter in hand for prospective contractors
in the United States.” After considerable perseverance and several rebuffs, “a
Messrs. Russell and Harris “were given a promise that one million of the five |
million’ fuses required would be held, pending the receipt of a tender from
them, providing that tenders were submitted within a reasonable time.” A _
reasonable time in their case “was defined as two weeks, notwithstanding the
fact that Allison had presumably been busy on the proposition for five months |
without being able to offer anything definite.” ,

Within the two weeks Messrs. Russell and Harris nolibadl the Shell Com- —
mittee that their proposition would be ready on the date specified. “And now
for the fact that requires explanation,” continues the article in Industrial
Canada. “On May 25th, 1915, the Russell tender was turned in, offering to AN
make 1,000,000 fuses at $4.20. On May 19, without waiting for this competi- —
tive tender, which was known to be on the way, and regardless of the promise ie
given to hold at least a portion of the business open, the committee awarded ©
contracts for the whole of the 5,000, 000 fuses to the companies promoted by
Allison and his associates, a small fraction of them at $4.00, but the majority
of them at $4.50. The loss in money is a matter of easy calculation from the
records of the committee. The loss in time of delivery is also determinable, —
because whereas the United States contractors have fallen far behind with
their obligations, the Russell Motor Car Company, are now delivering ahead *

ris

of time under a contract they subsequently secured at $3.70. The indirect
loss to Canada and to the Empire through the sacrifice of domestic to foreign | ‘4
enterprise is beyond computation.” ; » an

_It is unnecessary to comment on this story at present. “He sicapiyed adds a 2
chapter to many that I have already published. Nor is it necessary to say
much about the characters of the parties who are referred to as taking part
in it: The fact that one of these parties is Mr. Lloyd Harris, stamps the story

~ Making Box Boards From Sawmill Waste

Conditions Under Which Residue From Lumber Production May Be Profitably Worked

One of the most important subjects before the lumber trade is the
disposal of “waste.” In the days of low stumpage it did not greatly
concern the lumbermen that they threw away about a third of the log
in slabs, edgings and trimmings, which they burned to get rid of. As
we look at it today, their operations lacked “efficiency. Now that
logs have become so much scarcer and stumpage so much more valu-
able, to say nothing of competition having become so much keener,
they should take an interest in that mysterious thing called “‘effici-
ency. [ficiency means absence of waste. Yet it is impossible to
cut round logs into rectangular boards without leaving a residue. Vhis
__ residue is called in sawmill parlance “waste.”

_ It can, however, be used as a raw material for a number of wood
__- products, not strictly, classified as lumber. The more important of
these are: lath, shingles, staves, box boards, wood pulp, and various
chemical products such as turpentine and tannic acid. Nevertheless,
with the exception of lath, most of these products are still made dir-
ectly from logs or cordwood cut for the purpose, and the waste is
} still largely destroyed. This has not been altogether the fault of the
— lumberman, since it often cost so much to manufacture from waste
that it could not profitably be done. ‘Today increases in value and
consumption of these products and the rise in value of the raw ma-
terial are beginning to make it financially possible for those manufac-
tured from waste to compete with those from logs and cordwood.

Ificiency demands that this be done, and it is an,economic gain

to the public as well as to the lumbermen that it be done, since the

closer we utilize our timber the less we are obliged to cut at a time,
and so the longer it will last.

Since the manufacture of box boards from waste is not a very well
known scheme of utilization, it is possible that the following account,
based on an experience of some months at a factory, w hich utilizes
waste exclusively, may be of interest to lumbermen, foresters and

- conservationists.

The various products made from sawmill waste often demand
quite different size, shape and quality of pieces, so that it is usually
impossible, or at least unprofitable to utilize all waste from a given
mill for a single product. Nevetheless, a box factory manufacturing
a suitable orade of box boards should be able to utilize from 40 to 60
per cent. of the normal waste from the average mill (provided, of
course, that it cuts woods suitable for box boards), and to leave a
sufficient unsuitable remainder to stock the lath mill.

There are few kinds of wood which cannot be made into box
boards, although some, such as cottonwood and White pine, are ex-
ceptionally desirable. Among the more common hardwoods which
can be used are cottonwood, Yellow poplar, Red gum, tupelo, bass-
wood, buckeye, chestnut, butternut and others. Among the soft-

woods ‘are White pine, spruce, balsam, Southern and Western Yellow
____ pines, Western hemlock and certain of the cedars.

Sie Ge ew Pe!

° " Box factories generally use fairly high grade lumber, and have
not taken kindly, to the idea of using sawmill waste. Hence such
work as has been done along this line “has been by the sawmills them-

__ Selves, some of which have. successfully established box factories of

. their own.

“a There are four classes of sawmill waste which can be used in the

manufacture of box boards, or “shooks” as they are often called.
first, trimmings and edgings from the main sawmill; second, culls

from the. planing mill; third, odds and ends which acc umulate about

Trade customs which make it necessary that practically all lum-
ber be cut into lengths which are multiples of even feet, and the ne-
cessity for trimming boards to rid them of wane or other defects in-
sure a constant supply of boards too short for ordinary uses. These
make excellent material for boxes. Edging strips are not so valu-
_ able, as they are apt to be too narrow, but heavy ones can be used.
_ Every planing mill turns out a certain amount of finished lumber
which is imperfectly manufactured. 3oards with skips in dressing,
_ or with a tongue or a groove split off, or perhaps with a strip of wane
— left on are examples ‘of such culls. Many such boards cannot be
a ‘manufactured profitably, but are suitable for box stock. Every mill
has its quota of dead stock, such as boards spoiled in seasoning, odds
und ends of special orders, OR sap- stained pieces and the like. A

sawmill. By installing a slab resaw and cutting them into short
boards for the box factory the waste from this source can be greatly
lessened.

Equipment of the Box Factory

The manufacture of box boards requires extra floor space and
special machinery. The shop can best be arranged in connection
with the planing mill rather than the sawmill itself. If the plant
is large, the box factory can be made a separate unit of management.
At smaller plants its management can be incorporated with that of the
planing mill. The main machinery in a box factory consists of rip-
saws, cut-off saws, planing machines and resaws Nailing machines,
splicers, matchers, equalizers and many other special machines are
used for various kinds of work, but are not essential in a factory using
mill waste. A twin-band resaw, however, might be useful if trim-
mings from timbers and dimension stock are abundant. The planers
must be specially designed for the work and should be wide gauge
short-bed machines capable of running large numbers of short ir-
regular pieces at high speed. Any standard resaw such as intended
for planing mill or box factory use should be satisfactory. There
are numerous types of cut-off and rip-saws designed for box factory
use. Hand-feed rip-saws are probably more satisfactory for box
factories using waste than are power-feed machines.

A good arrangement and combination of machines would seem to
be the following: 1 band resaw, in front of 3 planers, then 2 more re-
saws, all followed by 6 cut-off saws arranged in a line at right angles
to the resaws and planers, and then 7 rip-saws in a line at right angles
to the cut-offs. Special machinery is usually placed beyond the rip-
saws. (lt is generally well to provide storage room both for waste
and for completed shooks.)

Such a factory should be able to turn out from 30,000 to 80,000
feet of shooks a day, and to utilize waste from a mill of from 200,000
to 300,000 feet capacity. For a mill of from 50,000 to 100,000 feet
daily capacity, a resaw, a planer, 2 cut-off and 3 rip-saws should be
ample. The resaw could, perhaps, be used jointly with the planing
mill, since it would generally be less in use in the box factory alone
than the planer. Smaller mills can sometimes resaw slabs and
planing mill culls and sell them to box factories to be worked into
shooks.

Provision must be made for the collection of waste from various
parts of the plant and its delivery at the box factory. In the main
sawmill, the easiest plan is to pick out suitable pieces from the waste
as it passes along the main refuse conveyor on its way to the refuse
burner. It may be dropped on to trucks or wagons, or—if there is
enough of it—on to a conveyor arranged to carry it to its destination,
If the plant also has a lath mill, the box factory should be given first
choice in working over the refuse, since box boards are a higher grade
product than lath. There need be no fear of there not being enough
pieces left too narrow for box boards with which to supply the lath
mill.
Box shooks must generally be made of seasoned lumber, else
they will warp; consequently it is necessary either to send the waste
to a dry kiln or to pile it in the yard to season for several weeks. The
dry kiln is better, since the cost of the extra handling of such small
pieces increases rapidly. The edging strips are used for moulding

stock. Such a car is estimated to contain 6,000 board feet.
Planing mill culls can easily be loaded on trucks and moved

directly to the box factory, since they are usually already seasoned.
Planing mill trim, if enough exists to make it worth while, can go in
on a special conveyor. Occasionally a wagon or a trash car can be
sent over the yard and the dead stock and trash which accumulates
be loaded ino it and hauled to the factory. Ifa slab saw is installed in
the main mill it is a simple matter to sort out all the short boards cut
on it from the slabs and see that they reach the box shop.

Box boards used for tops, bottoms and sides are generally cut
5/16 or 3/8 inches thick. Ends and cleats are usually from 1/2 to
13/16 inches thick. It is generally possible to get 2 pieces for tops,
bottoms, or sides from an inch board and 4 from a two-inch one. To
obtain the required thicknesses, two-inch pieces are resawed, then
planed and finally resawed again, since most shooks require dressing
on one surface only. Inch boards are simply surfaced on two sides
and then resawed, while pieces less than an inch in thickness are
usually worked down entirely on the planers. Pieces of the required
thickness for ends and cleats can sometimes be obtained directly from
planing mill waste. For many uses it makes little difference if ton-
gues or grooves remain on boards after they'have been cut for box

36 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND. WOODWORKER

boards. This is more especially true in the case of rough crates
where no attempt is made to remove them. After the boards have
been reduced to the desired thickness they are cut to length on the
cut-off saws and then ripped to width on the rip’saws, imperfections
being cut out in both processes. The completed shooks are then
bundled in convenient numbers and shipped to theit destination,
where the boxes are built up from the different pieces. | They are
seldom assembled at the factory, since their bulk makes shipment in
the completed form too expensive. Shooks are seldom cut in ad-
vance of orders, since nearly every customer has his own require-
ments as to dimensions and specifications.

Expensive Boxes Still a Problem

Expensive boxes calling for dovetailing corners, matched. boards,
sliding tops and the like have not so far been made comimercially from
sawmill waste. Until more experience and knowledge regarding the
possibilities of this form of waste utilization has accumulated it is not
likely that they will be. Small and medium sized packing boxes and
crates do not require such expert knowledge or special machinery for
their manufacture, and it is with them that box factories utilizing
waste will specialize.

In manufacturing shooks from waste, great difficulty is exper-
ienced in securing enough wide stock. Narrow stock accumulates in
abundance. Consequently, orders requiring wide boards such as one-
piece sides, tops and bottoms for large and medium sized boxes are
avoided. Nor are large boxes of any description considered desir-
able, since it is (or should be) difficult to obtain large pieces from
waste. There is a large and steady demand for medium sized boxes
for canned goods, tinned fish and meats, salt and frozen fish, soap,
dried fruit, preserves, bottled liquors, cheap glassware, crockery and
hundreds of other articles. Such boxes need not be made with spe-
cial care or of very high grade material. They can easily and satis-
factorily be made from sawmill waste.

Crates, which are made of narrow slats, are, however, the most
desirable product for a box factory waste. Oftentimes the slats can
be made from waste pieces at the same width they were originally
cut, or if not, at such widths that there is little loss in ripping them.
Sometimes the ends of these crates can be assembled on nailing mach-
ines in the factory before shipment. Such crates are used as con-
tainers for a variety of articles such as oil cans, syrup cans, empty
bottles, pasteboard boxes, smoked meats, fruits, and light machinery.

There are in addition to shooks a number of other products which
can easily be made from sawmill waste at a box factory. Stock for
chair rungs, table legs and other wood turnery articles of a like nature,
and for novelty uses of various kinds can be made of pieces too small
or narrow for box boards. By installing a band or circular rip-saw,
moulding strips may be sawed out of thick clear-edging strips. Lum-
bermen seem to be agreed that there is no profit in making mouldings
from stock boards. The use of edgings should yield a return.

Skilled Employees Scarce

The making of box shooks from sawmill waste is such a new en-
terprise that few men, either in box factories or sawmills, fully un-
derstand it. A box factory superintendent who has never used any-
thing but standard lumber is apt to be out of sympathy with the idea
oi using waste. For this reason it may be better to place a man
from the sawmill in charge, who is without previous prejudices, since
in either case a man must be broken into the work. The same is true
to a certain extent of rip-sawyers and other skilled workers.

The success of a box factory using waste depends to a large ex-
tent upon the run of orders. Orders for shooks of dimensions-which
cannot readily be obtained from waste may greatly increase the cost
of manufacture, or make it necessary to use standard lumber to fill
them. Except at very large plants, a box factory will not be of suffi-
cient capacity to keep a special box salesman busy disposing of its
output. Since lumber salesmen seldom have much knowledge of
boxes or of the patterns which can be made from waste it is desirable
that the superintendent have the power to refuse or cancel orders
which it is not for the interest of the factory to accept. Mills with
waste enough to manufacture only a small quantity of shooks might
be able to make arrangements through regular box companies.

There is always the danger that the box factory will come to be
regarded too much in the light of a catch-all, and material will be sent
to it that could be more profitably utilized in other ways. There is
‘no economy in sending mis-manufactured boards to the box factory
if they can be remanufactured or trimmed without a loss of more than
a third of their footage. Yet it is generally easier for the planing
mill to send such material to the box factory than to deal with it
themselves. Likewise, it is easier for the box factory to use such ma-
terial than to use waste, hence it is not likely to protest. In the
sawmill itself, the knowledge that heavy slabs and edgings and long
trimmings will all be used in the box factory may encourage careless-
ness on the part of sawyers and others unless a sharp watch is kept.
At the average mill which has no other way of utilizing waste, enough

of it must necessarily accumulate to stock | the ‘box factory without
permitting lax cutting to obtain it. }

It should not cost more than from $10 to! $12 per thousand feet "a
shooks to manufacture them from sawmill waste. The average sell-
ing price of a grade made from Southern Yellow pine is about $15.
However, it will generally prove that shooks cannot be as cheaply —
manufactured from waste as from standard lumber—or at as great a —
profit. This need not dismay the lumberman who is cutting woods —
suitable for box manufacture, for ordinarily his waste is of no value —
and it is an expense to him to dispose of it, so if, by a small invests
ment in labor and machinery, he can turn it to even a small profit, it i
that much added to his income. As before remarked, the use
waste in this way is an advantage to the public, since the close utili
tion of our timber resources is the practice of conservation, and the
tore an economic gain to all.

Logging and Saw Milling Machinery for India

A large proportion of the logging and sawing of timber in
Government forests in India is done by the Government Forest I
partment, which purchases the necessary machinery and carries a
the work. It is felt by many forest officers that sufficient use has n
been made of mechanical contrivances, especially in logging, and t
greater profit would result from the ‘working of the timber if such
machinery were used in skidding and hauling logs as is done in Can-—
ada. Accordingly, Mr. H. R. ‘MacMillan, Timber Trade Commis- _
sioner, has written the Department that the Forest Economist, India —
Forest Service, Dehra Dun, India, wishes to secure catalogues, de-
scriptions and price lists from manufacturers in Canada of:—

1. Logging machines or steam skidders.—It is possible that the
type of yarder or skidder now in use in Canada will be heavier than
is necessary for Indian work. A machine is required for India that
will yard 1,000 feet to a tram line in a stand of hardwood timber aver-
aging about 6,000-10,000 feet per acre. Very few logs will weigh —
over 2,000 pounds, and it will probably be satisfactory to use skid-
ders for the logs under 2,000 pounds and use elephants for the few
heavier logs in order to keep the weight of the skidder to a minimum.

An important point to be noted is that as Indian timber is much
more valuable than Canadian timber, teak for instance selling in the
log at the depot for $60 per thousand board feet on a measurement
that makes no allowance for slabs waste or saw-keri, a larger expendi-
ture is possible in logging than may be admitted in Canada. .

2. Portable saw-mills—A large number of portable saw-mills are
used by the Indian Forest Department. The department is prepared
to give Canadian portable mills a trial. Portable mills in India are
used for manufacturing railway sleepers, small dimensions, lumber
and pickets from low-grade logs. |The power is supplied by a wood-
burning traction engine, which hauls the mill. A very simple type
of mill is required.

3. Logging tools and saws.—The Government has recently
sanctioned the purchase of a further logging equipment, and Canadian
manufacturers interested should take the matter up at once, parti-
cularly as, should a suitable type of machine be developed, a very wide
market will be opened up both with the Government and with the
several large companies now logging teak and other woods with ele-
phants and bullock carts.

A report upon the timber trade of Italy published in a recent
issue of the Weekly Bulletin of the Department of Trade and Com-
merce, shows that Italy’s imports of timber, before the war, came
chiefly from Austria-Hungary, the United States, Roumania and
Russia, and amounted in an average year to three million cubic —
metres, one cubic metre being equal to 35.31 cubic feet. The national” —
production of timber in Italy amounted to 500,000 cubic metres,
bringing the total consumption up to 3,500,000 cubic metres. Canada
had little or no share in Italy’s timber trade. The report concludes
with a statement that H. M. Consul at Milan, Italy, says:—“There ©

imports of timber from Austria, there should still be a market in ~
Italy for North American timber even in times of peace, as is evidenced
in the fact that the United States exported 153,800 tons of sawn tim-
ber to Italy (about 12% per cent. of the total imports of sawn timber.”
H. M. Consul at Milan also states that he would be pleased to attend |

Self Feed Rip Saw in the Furniture Factory
By W. J. Beattie

Since the general introduction of the self-feed rip-saw into the
machine equipment of the factory, the capacity for lumber consump-
tion and the cheapening of that portion of the work has been greatly
increased. The style generally in use is the circular saw type, the
later idea being to have the saw above the table, supplemented by an
endless chain feed. This idea seems to be an improvement on the
older style, one decided advantage being that the saw cuts through
the material, thus reducing friction to quite an extent.

The band rip-saw for larger factories, where the necessary equip-
ment and help to keep the saw in order are available, is doubtless the
better tool, as the lesser waste of material, combined with greater
speed, are strong points in their favor.

There are still some plants that cling to the old style railroad
rip-saw for use in matching up tops or large surfaces, especially on
quartered oak goods, in many cases carefully matching up the ma-
terial, which may consist of six or more pieces, laying the whole lot
on the table and shoving them through the saw, cutting off the sur-
plus from theedge.

This is a slow and laborious method, and can just as well be done
on a self-feed machine with a great saving of labor.

Assuming that the light is good, and it certainly should be, the
matching up can be done on a table behind the rip saw, and the one
piece only that requires ripping is passed back and sawn to the ne-
cessary width. Of course, it is understood that the stock has already
had the necessary edging done to it after leaving the swing saw.

The expert matcher is behind the saw in this case, and not in
front of it, and sorts the material for figure as it comes to him, on a
table of the required size, which can be made several inches lower
than the saw table, and so placed that it is in the handiest position.
A rule, such as is illustrated, will be found very handy for this work,
made of maple of the necessary length; the inches are. divided into
quarters and thirds, which will correspond with the allowance re-
quired for each joint. For instance, if the tops are 46 inches long aifd
20 inches wide, finished width, and there are four joints, the width

Rule used to make allowance for joints when ripping stock.

when leaving the matching table will be 271%4 inches, which allows 1
inch for the four joints plus Y inch for Diamine the one edge and the
final ripping to exact width.

lor longer stock the larger divisions of the inch would likely be
necessary; it all depends on the accuracy of the rip saw and the
minimum allowance for the jointer. At any rate it is possible to have
only the same amount of final ripping waste from a top having as
many as six or seven joints as one having only three, if the proper al-
lowance is made for each joint. The maple rule referred to is just as
feasible for work that is not matched for figure. The material goes
through the saw and is laid on the table until it is within a few inches
of the desired width. The “tailer” can then tell just what he wants
‘to complete the requirement in inches and it is immediately delivered
to him and the material placed on the truck.
on until that size and quantity is completed.

Another help in this connection is to have the rule bored at the
line intersections, into which are inserted small steel pins which cor-
respond with the number of joints that may be necessary. If the
top is to finish 20 inches wide the first pin would be inserted at the
20% in. measurement, the next 4 in. more, etc., the idea being that it
is easier to count the pins corresponding to the joints than if they were
not used.

It will be found handier to have, say, three rules made of various
lengths, to use according to the material requirements of the factory.
In making a rule secure a piece of white maple 1% in. wide, 7/16 in.
thick, bevelled on the under corners, having a stop on the left end

holes for the pins, give a coat or two of white shellac, sand, ink on the
figures; then give a coat of good tough varnish, and you will have a

Consumption of Wood Flour 2
More than twenty thousand tons of wood flour, valued at $300,000,
are used annually in the United States in two widely different i oe
dustries, the manufacture of dynamite and the manufacture of inlai
linoleum. Mi
Wood flour is also used in making composition flooring, 0s
meal paper, and in several other industries. It forms one of the m
by which the huge waste product of our lumber mills is begin
to find some better means of disposal than the burner, Since a
of 36,000,000 cords of such waste is produced each year at saw
in the United States, of which about one-half goes into the fu
as fuel, while the rest is burned as refuse to get rid of it, there i
lack of raw material for industries which can develop ways of tt
ing this waste to account. ;
All wood flour-using industries require a white or very: ¥
cream-colored flour having good absorptive powers. The wood s
that may be used are confined to the light, non-resinous conifers, anc
the white broadleaved woods like poplar, Spruce, white pine | and
poplar are the species most used. Mill waste, free from bark, fur- —
nishes much of the raw material for making wood flour. ; 1 “42
For use in dynamite, the trade demands are said to require a_
white wood flour, since the freshness of dynamite stock is indicated
by a light color. Dynamite flour must also be very absorptive, s
there will be no leakage of nitroglycerine from the finished | roduct.
Wheat flour mill refuse and infusorial earth have also been ine
dynamite making, but wood flour has practically replaced them in
this country.
In the manufacture of linoleum, either wood or cork Acusken ;

The cement is the ex-"
pensive constituent. Cork linoleum is the cheaper because less
cement is necessary. The patterns are printed on, leaving a dark base.
For inlaid or straight-line linoleum, wood flour is used exclusively.
Cork linoleum is always dark, and slightly more elastic than that pro-
duced from wood flour. The wearing qualities are about the same.

Two methods of producing wood flour are practiced; one using
millstones, the other steel burr rollers to pulverize the wood. The
latter requires only one-fourth as much power to operate as the former
and was developed on the Pacific Coast to handle sawdust as a raw
material. The mills of Norway, which produce much of the asi
wood flour, are of the stone type.

Wood flour mills are scattered over the United States from Maine
to California wherever the proper combination of wood and water _
power is available, and the domestic wood flour competes with the
Norwegian product, which, before the European war, was delivered
at Atlantic'ports for $12. 50 to $15 per ton. - ‘4a

Eastern Trade Conditions ae

A report from Sackville, N. B., states that 310 shillings per
standard has recently been paid for freight charges on a Cargo of |
jumber from Sackville tc the west coast of England; almost ten times”
the rate that existed before the war began. Even at this price very
few vessels are obtainable and exporters are experiencing much difh-_
culty in making shipment. Imports at Liverpool during the month of —
[*ebruary amounted to only 980 standards, against 3,370 standards ©
during the corresponding month in 1915.

In the American market, while no active business has taken —
place as yet, there are prospects of marked activity later on. In-
quis from New York indicate that buyers there are willing to pay

bout $19 to $21 per M. far hemlock and $22 to $24 for spruce de-
liv ered New York. With freights at $6 to $6.50 per M. this business:
is not as attractive as it would be in normal times. However, it is —
probably still all right from the profit standpoint and if our lumber- — -
men can get the tonnage netessary there will be an active busir BY.
with New York during the coming summer. The logging conditions
in the province of Nova Scotia for the past month have been ales st
ideal; and if the markets warrant it the cut of lumber this year shows id
bea large one.

Should Estimating Be Charged For?
By J. Crow Taylor

BS ore of the questions being discussed more or less seriously among
retailers these days i is that of whether or not a charge should be made
furnishing estimates to contractors and others, to cover the actual
ae cost on this work.

The question is undoubtedly, inspired by the fact that many an
embryo contractor uses the lumberman as a sort of good thing and
ks out of the lumberman a lot of details of estimating that he

hould work out himself.

ta _ The writer has known of contractors virtually getting their train-
g in the work of estimating by the bringing of rough plans to a local
mberman and getting him to list off the stuff required and make an
nate on it. Time and time again work of this kind is brought to
cal retail Jumberman and there is perhaps not one in ten that
actual orders. Moreover the retailer generally knows that
ices are slim to get an order, yet because the contractor is a
ve customer he must treat him well and accommodate him to
nt of listing off plans sometimes and making up estimates that
uite a lot of detailed work and also put on the shoulders of
berman some responsibility that should be carried by the con-
f an error is made or an item is left out and the lumberman
‘the listing off it will be but natural for the contractor to
Jumberman to it and make him make the error good.
‘the writer knows of specific cases of this kind where even
it changes have been made or an error has developed where
. yard, for accommodation, has listed off and done the
for a contractor and then the contractor has insisted on the
in standing the loss instead of the contractor.

Adds to the Burden of the Work

iother thing that adds to the work of the estimating end is the
ion now to be more thorough, to go imto details ‘and furnish
spective builder, that is the owner, with complete figures of
will cost to build a house, making the figures cover even work
erial that will not be supplied by the lumberman, The. idea
is that it helps salesmanship, that the progressive lumber-
e one who will take this trouble as a proposition in giving
to the people of the community. The mail order houses do

is not all either. There are some of the larger concerns
ating planing mills in connection with their lumber yards who
that for the sake of reducing errors they find it best to reduce all
s to plans and blue prints and cover them with specifications
become a part of the bargain or contract. This not only reduces
A e for error in the mill and on the yard, but it also reduces
nce for misunderstanding between the lumberman and the man
bill for the house.
s adds more and more to the burden of detailed work in
ting department of the lumber yard and there is no getting
ie fact that it costs money. It should be paid for and must
, but it will be much easier and more logical to make a spe;
arge for delivery than it would be to make a charge for esti-
‘The estimating is regarded as a part of the wor rk of sales-
even though it does belong in the order of service, conse-
t would be more logical to charge for delivery—which is
hing more than a matter of service—than it would to charge for
which is a matter of salesmanship as well as service.

+ Customer Can’t See It
e is no good argument therefore to make a specific charge for
estimates, at least, as far as the owner customer is con-
t might be practical to have some agreement between the
ds and the contractors as to the matter of plans and speci-
so that in case a lumber yard goes to considerable detail in
rints, specifications and estimates it can be reimbursed
“case the plans are accepted and used and the order for the
erial is given to some one else.
this, however, leavés room for disputes and for wrangles
sfaction and it is better all around to make the estimating
a live wire service department absolutely free to all cus-
; and then figure the cost of this in the overhead expense of
g the business so that there will in the final estimate be some
ion for its service. -
of course, may use some judgment now and then about
too much free service for contractors and others who take
ir advantage ofthis service and seldom buy anything, or at
not enough to justify it. Even there, however, it is better to
upon a little than to take the chances of offending or of
the i impression that one is stingy about rendering service.

come to one to find out about things is the best first aid to good busi-
ness one can have. There is no better drawing card to this end
either than a reputation for freely furnishing without charge esti-
mates on anything in the way of building lumber from a few pieces
to do some patching to an entire list required for building a new
home. So let us not have any growling, to the public at least, about
this end of the business, but rather give out the impression that it is
free and freely given.

How Much to Spend in Advertising

The retail lumber dealers all over the country have come to a
realization that there is need for more activity in the way of advertis-
ing. Also nearly every enterprising retailer is taking up with the
idea of doing some advertising. The main question right now both-
ering most of the dealers is; how much should be spent in advertis-
ing?

There is, of course, the companion question of how to spend and
where? There is the question of how much space to buy in the local
newspaper and how to use it, how much to spend for circulars, for
window displays and things of that kind.

In a few branches of trade they have reduced this advertising ap-
propriation down to a more or less positive basis. The furniture re-
tailers, for example, figure on spending from 3 to 5 per cent. of the
gross sales in advertising. Department stores spend about the same
amount; sometimes other stores spend more and sometimes less.

It is very natural to argue that some lines call for a larger per-
centage of advertising appropriation than others. If so, the question
might well be asked why, for example, should furniture stores spend
more money advertising furniture than the lumberman should spend
advertising his product? Indeed it looks like the furniture stores
are setting a pretty good example for the lumberman and that the
retailer cannot do much better than try the experiment of spending
the same percentage of his gross sales in advertising as is spent by
enterprising furniture stores.

Why not try the experiment of taking your gross sales for last
year as a basis and figure on spending a sum equal to 3 per cent. of
that amount during the present year and note the results. If they
prove satisfactory, then it might be well to try raising the same to 5
per cent. }
Providing for the Fund

With a yard doing comparatively small business, say selling
$50,000 worth in a year, figuring on a basis of 3 per cent. of gross sales,
would give an advertising fund of $1,500, while, on a basis of 5 per
cent. the sum would be $2,500.

The average lumberman will look at this as a big sum of money
to simply experiment with in advertising. It is a big sum, too, if it is
to be wasted or spent without returns, but the right idea in advertis-
ing is to spend the money so that it will bring in more.

During one of the many retail conventions this winter one man
in a country town told of spending between $200 and $300 and practi-
cally doubling the volume of his business. He said the advertising
was not the whole thing but it was an important factor. They did
quite a lot of personal hustling and conditions in their community
were such as to encourage the development of more business, but just
the same he felt that they had obtained excellent returns for their
advertising.

Another man told ,of spending approximately $2,000 a year;
mostly newspaper advertising, and he said he felt that this had in-
creased the volume of their business 50 per cent. and had been money
well invested.

The question right now, however, is not one of whether or not
advertising pays. This has been pretty thoroughly demonstrated.
There is not much disposition to argue against the assertion that ad-
vertising intelligently handled will bring results.

May Prefer Lumping It

Some may prefer to make it a lump sum of anywhere from $1,000
to $10,000. The amount will depend upon the magnitude of the
business, the location, the cost of space in the local papers and the
opportunities for effective exploitation by making window displays,
using billboards and other means of exploitation.

Whatever amount be spent, every man should keep a careful re-
cord of it. Properly everything that assists in exploitation or publi-
city of business is chargeable to the advertising account, everything
from writing letters to buying space in newspapers. Keep careful
track of it all so that you may know the total at the énd of the year
and also may be in a position to compare this total with the total
volume of business.

There is undoubtedly a logical reason for establishing a relation
between the volume of sales and the amount spent for advertising.
This is not the only factor entering, neither should it be strictly ar-
bitrary, but it is well enough to use ’ something of this kind as a sort
of working basis, and from the successful accomplishment of others
the evidence seems to be in favor of spending from 3 to 5 per cent. of
the gross sales for advertising purposes.—St. Louis Lumberman.

Annual Consumption of Wood by the Wood-Manufacturing
Industries in the United States

Statistics have been compiled by the Office of Industrial Investi-
gations of the United States Forest Service which show for the first
time precisely how the lumber produced in the country is utilized.
About forty-five billion feet of lumber of all kinds is the maximum
annual production in the United States; of this, nearly twenty-five
billion feet, board measure, are further manufactured, the other por-
tion being used for construction lumber and timber and for similar
purposes. This is exclusive of that material which reaches its final use
in the form of lath, shingles, fuel, railroad ties, posts and rails, poles
and equipment, pulpwood, cooperage, veneer, wood distillates, and the
wood demanded by the tanning industry.

The first of the accompanying tables lists the industries included
in the investigation and gives the quantity of material demanded in
a single year by each of them. The auantity of each kind of wood
received as raw material by shops and factories and converted by fur-
ther manufacture into finished and salable articles is shown in the
second table. ;

Between 50 and 60 per cent. of the lumber produced is subject
to further manufacture. However, it should be remembered that
considerable material reaches shops and factories in the form of logs,
bolts, and billets, without having passed through sawmills, and such

bered in comparing the statistics with those of lumber production.

_Mr. Philippe Roy has forwarded the Department a sample of
white spruce submitted by a French firm who are inthe market for
5,000 metres of lumber (similar in quality to sample) to be used in
the construction of flying machines. The lumber is of very high qual-
ity, no other grade being acceptable. Mr. Roy states that this firm
is disposed to purchase f.o.b. Canadian port if it is not possible for
Canadian producers to quote c.i.f. French port. It is also intimated
that the Engineering Branch of the War Department would be dis-

% The Wooden Handle Trade

There is little likelihood that any substitute will ever take the
place of wood for certain kinds of handles. | Those which requ
elasticity and resiliency will continue to demand wood, while others of
certain kinds may be made of metal, composition of rubber. ~ More
wood is yearly consumed in the manufacture of handles than for
musical instruments. The annual total exceeds 280,000,000 feet in
the a States. The builders of ships and boats do not take so
much. Vike. See

The kinds of handles are too numerous to be shown in any list,
but they may be included in general classes. -Sizes range from thai
for a button-hook a quarter of an inch thick and two inches long to
the cant hook handle five feet long and three inches thick. Some o
greater length are employed for farm tools like pitchforks and rakes;
and if knobs for small drawers and cabinet doors; may be regarded as"
handles, some are of smaller sizes than those of buttonhooks. Py

All handles are not required to be of strong, tough woods, though
many are. Some, like the ax and hammer handle and the pitchfork —
handle must stand excessive strains and violent jars and twists. Wood
for handles of that kind must be carefully selected. Hickory is by —
common consent the best ax handle wood obtainable. A few woods
are stronger than hickory and some are stiffer; but when strength, —
toughness, elasticity, and smoothness of grain are combined, no other
wood eqauls hickory. It is sought for the best ax, hammer, and golf
club handles. No other wood can stand so much bending, twisti
and jolting without being broken of permanently distorted. Though
hickory is found growing in commercial quantities in only about half —
the states, its use as handles is listed in all the states. : a

The long handles of farm tools are of ash oftener than of any
other wood. Ash is very stiff and is quite strong and is preferred for —
forks, shovels, rakes, and hoes. Several species of ash grow in the |
American forests; but that preferred for handles is white ash, which
is more abundant than all other species of ash combined,.and is found
in trees of larger size than the others. Most of the species of ash are
named from the color of wood, bark, bloom, or twigs, as white, black, |
red, green, and blue ash. | Only the woods of white and black ash
customarily distinguished in the handle trade, but even there the
ference is not always noted. ; . ee

Short handles of various kinds are made of different hardy
such as maple, birch, beech, and oak. Handles for augers
hammers, monkey wrenches, large knives, hatchets, and n
tools for carpenters, smiths, and other artisans are in this
Rather severe strains and shocks must be withstood, but short hand
of this class are not put to the violent tests which the long hick
and ash handles of axes, hammers and farm tools must endure.

Immense numbers of small softwood handles are produced
factories. In this list are those for buckets, tubs, and packages. T
are finished in different styles. Some are left natural, some are |
ished and stained, others are enameled. The woods of which they
are made are pine, spruce, cedar, and fir. Handles of a similar kind
are made of basswood, red gum, yellow poplar, beech, birch, maple,
tupelo, and cottonwood. There are few woods which do not give

good service when manufactured into handles of this kind.
mand is large and the industry is extensive.

The makers of knife handles use some common and cheap woods
and others of finer kinds and of high cost. Handles for butcher knives
are often of beech or red gum, and may be in two parts with the knife
shank riveted between them, or in one piece. Expensive foreign
woods are preferred for handles of pocket knives. The thin pieces of
wood for that purpose are known as “knife scales,” and the quantity of

wood required for a handle of that kind is small.

New York may be taken as a representative handle state, although
some other states use much more wood in this industry. Ohio, for
example, consumes nearly five times as much wood as New York in
the production of handles, and Arkansas six times as much; but the
yariety of handle woods in New York is greater. The following list
gives the woods and the quantity of each required annually by handle
-makers in New York:

sor "Waste in Lumber Due to Drying

Manufacturers who know admit that there is a waste of 30 to 35
per cent. due to improper methods of handling the lumber in drying.
When not properly piled for air-drying. the overhanging boards check,
twist and bend; stickers of uneven thickness and when not placed
directly over each other, cause twisting and bending. The lack of

- knowledge of proper means for kiln-drying cause twisted, checked,

warped and honey-combed lumber. When this lumber reaches the

saw the defects removed as waste reach the large percentage men-
tioned above. Most of this waste could be prevented by properly
handling in the yard.

Interesting details of the work of the Forests Products Labora-

tories were given by Mr. J. A. Coderre, forestry engineer of the Labor-

atories, at a meeting of the Montreal Chambre de Commerce on April

5. Mr. Coderre spoke of the desire of those in charge of the labora-

ty tories to give every information possible concerning the uses and qual-

ies of all descriptions of lumber, and also what treatment will make
ods already in use better for the purposes for which they are
wited. Experiments were being made with a view to substitute

P - nadian woods for those now imported, the object being to show that
eee ive woods can satisfactorily fill many purposes for which foreign

Good Book-keeping Insures Success

How Accuracy in Accounting Methods Assists Dealers

in Making Profits
By D. Cooper, C.A., Winnipeg

The main object of any merchandising «concern is PROFIT.
There are other objectives of great importance that should be kept
constantly in view by the merchant—objectives that are closely re-
lated to the question of profit.

Profit consists of the sums obtained by the employment of capital
in trading after paying all expenses of trading and after making any
necessary provision for replacing lost capital.

It should be the aim of all who would court success—permanent
and solid success—to sell merchandise of the very best grade, at the
lowest possible price, to the greatest number of customers under the
very best conditions for all concerned. Each and every transaction
should result in mutual satisfaction and mutual profit. The greater
the service rendered the greater the resulting profit—other things
being equal.

To be able to sell the best grade of goods at the lowest possible
price one must be able to buy keenly. To buy advantageously
means that bills must be paid promptly and that cash discounts be
secured wherever possible. This in turn requires sufficient capital to
carry on the operations, and remember that insufficiency of capital is
one of the greatest sources of danger in all phases of business.

Traders who cannot pay promptly cannot buy at the sate price
as those who can; the former are not able to take the discounts of-
fered for cash, and, as a consequence, they are not able to sell to their
customers at a price that can be defined as being mutually profitable to
both parties.

A careful study of the business in all its phases will prove of
value. A merchant should make himself thoroughly familiar with
the goods he buys and sells. He should know how they are made;
he should enquire as to the processes of manufacture; he should
study transportation and learn the sources of the various products in
the raw and in the finished state; he should study the requirements
of local markets; he should learn how to manage—how to hire, train
and direct employees; he should be honest; he should be familiar with
simple business law—the law relating to contracts, bills of exchange
and banking: and lastly. he should provide an adequate system for re-
cording all his transactions in a simple and effective manner so that
he may glean from his records a clear conception of the direction in
which the business is moving.

The study of intelligently developed comparative statements will
act for the merchant as a compass for the sailor and keep his course
pointed in the right direction. The system must be so arranged as to
bring automatically to the proprietor or manager at regular intervals,
the results, in concrete form. of the trading operations—sales, pur- —
chases, inventory, collections, bad debts, goods returned by customers,
and so on.

Without such information the business will probably drift along
and, if eventually the business happens to be successful, it will most
likely be the result of good luck rather than good guidance. On the
other hand. failure is more likely to be the result from such loose
methods of accounting. Experience has shown that in bv far ‘the
greater number of insolvencies. the failure was due to the fact that
the proprietor thought the business was going in one direction. while
all the time it was travelling in another.- He did not know. Had he
known he could have remedied the defects and saved the concern.

In most cases, retailers and others are prone to believe that ord-
inary common sense bookkeeping could have kept them informed as
to the cause and effect but, in my opinion. without accurate and de-
pendable information as to results, the merchant or anyone for that
matter. will simply drift on the open sea of Commerce until he finds
himself involved suddenly in danger. In this event his calls for help
are unheeded. He has not been travelling the chartered routes;
hence he is left to shift for himself.

Take the case of another trader who can show a clear record of
his business—year by year—its growth and development. In his
case, even though in trouble in a period of stress, he may and often is
able to show that his business is a profitable one and one worthy of
support. He may form a Joint Stock Company or he may find some
one willing to invest money for a share of the profits, or his bank
may be willing to assist him.

All this is quite impossible where no records have been kept.
There is no information upon which a reliable opinion may be based
as to the wisdom of assisting the concern during a specially trying
period; off-hand estimates or opinions as to what the business had
done and is doing, made by the proprietor or’ manager, are of no
value. They are not usually based on facts—neither can they be
verified by accurate figures. <

Unfortunately for Canada, traders are not compelled to keep
books, whereas in France, for example, every trader is required by
the Code of Commerce to keep *hree books—the journal, the inven-

42 ' CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

tory book and the letter book. No particular form of accounts is
prescribed by law. The journal in France is the daily book into
which the trader must enter all his transactions, day by day. In
addition to his business records, he must set down, month by month,
the sums disbursed on his household expenses.

Before commencing to use the journal and inventory book, the
French trader must take these to a Judge of the Commerce Tribunal
who will initial each page and certify to the number of pages in each
book. No erasures, blanks or marginal additions to entries are al-
lowed. These regulations are designed as a preventative against
wrongful alteration | or substitution of figures. Where such exist, the
books are not accepted as evidence, either in a court of law or in the
event of insolvency.

Similar regulations are in force throughout Belgium, Spain,
Portugal, Holland, Roumania and other European countries with but
slight “modification. In Russia no particular books are prescribed,
but the laws are very strict as regards bookkeeping generally, and the
penalties for non-accounting in ‘the event of bankruptcy are severe.
All Joint Stock Companies in Russia are required to publish in a
State paper a Trading and Profit and Loss Account and a. Balance
Sheet once every year.

To bring the benefits accruing from accurate bookkeeping into
more concrete form, let me cite what they would be in the case of a
lumber merchant.

A lumber merchant has for sale different kinds of lumber, sash
and doors, and so forth. He may, at the end of a period, find that he
has just made expenses. It may be that he has no idea of the cash
discounts he lost. It may be that he made good profits on one or
more lines, and that he lost on other lines. It may be that his cap-
ital is being turned over once in one line, in the same time. that it is
being turned over six times in other lines. Even though he makes
no profit on any one line of goods, still it may be that he will find it
necessary to continue that line as a factor in holding other and more
profitable business.

In any case, it goes without saying that if his records were to
show him the profit. he made on each different class of goods, he
couldn’t fail to benefit from that information. He would push the
more profitable lines and only carry enough stock of the less profitable
to satisfy the demands of his customers. If he had a comparative
statement of his sales from month to month, alongside the figures for
the same periods of the previous year, he would be able to anticipate
slack months and busy months. In the former case he could plan
how he might keep the month’s sales up to normal. Then again, his
expenses would be shown one month against another and one year
against another. Any increase in the expense not warranted by in-

-creased sales should be carefully investigated and adiusted where
possible.

Would it not be of great advantage if traders had constant infor-
mation available as to debts which have to be paid at specified dates?
Would it not be useful to know what orders for goods had been given
for future delivery?

Accuracy is the twin brother of Honesty. It is nothing short
of criminal negligence not to keep books. It isn’t a square deal to
your creditors—neither is it a square deal to your partners, your " share-
holders or yourself.

* All these and a host of obvious other features will, I think, con-
virice you of the absolute necessity of careful and accurate account-
ing in all businesses, from the one-man business to the gigantic cor-
porations which began on a small scale and grew to their présent
size simply through the agency of a well defined businéss policy, based
upon arid continually guided by facts and figures reflecting precisely

_ the effect of this policy and that policy on the progress of the busi-
ness.

For the year ended December 31st last the net profits of the Rior-

don Pulp and Paper Company totalled $292,558, an increase of $45,-
_ 480. Unusually low prices prevailed in 1915, but the improvements
and enlargements at Hawkesbury resulted in a reduction of. manu-
facturing charges and an increased output, while it is expected .that
the effect of the improvements will be shown in a material increase
in profits during the present year. A substantial part of the company’s
output in pulp and lumber to be manufactured. duting the present
year has been sold at good prices, and the outlook for the sale. of the
balance of the company’s product at satisfactory prices is good.. Ar-
rangements have been made for the installation of a bleaching plant
at the company’s mill at Merritton, Ont., which should be in opera-
tion about July 1 next. The intention is to bleach the whole of the
sulphite pulp produced at this mill, which will give.the company a
wider field in which to market this pulp.

David Mullen, Ottawa, Ont., who was engaged in the lumber
business until a year ago, died recently at his home in that city. The

late Mr. Mullen was 64 years of age and was born at Wakefield, P.Q.,

where he resided until moving to Ottawa some 19 years ago.

A Woman's Views on Retailing ”
By Mrs. C. C. Bowerman.

I wonder if you men have any, idea of the things we women ~
WANT that you have to sell?
The subject that Secretary Porter assigned to me is too large to
be covered in the time at my disposal, but I can at least call attention
to some of the points of retailing building material that I think have
been overlooked. I shall limit myself to that part of your business
which concerns the one thing above all others in which every word j
is vitally interested—THIE BUILDING OF A HOME. iff
How many of you men know what a woman really wants in a
HOME - And if you do not know—how are you ever going to ae
it to her:
I am going to tell you some of the things she wants and whey shed
wants them; and the nearer you come to providing those things for
her, the nearer you will come to selling your material to her and ‘con-
sequently the nearer you will come to. getting a check from her h
ban F
And right here I find a strange condition. In our office we have
a set of the Porter-Ballard Plan Book SYSTEM, the “Home, Swee
Home” edition, and in that publication I find most of the answers t
the questions I shall put to you. As this is published through ec
Western Association, I assume that you are all familiar with it. . a
Now, a woman wants a HOME to have the following elements: :
Her home must be—modern; attractive; comfortable; convenient re
step-saving ; moderate-priced. og
And the homes represented in the plan book we have cover every |
one of those necessary elements.
But how is the woman going to know that? In other words, how
are you going to sell what you have to sell, to a woman who wants
such a home?
In the first place, you will have to let her nie what you have.
That means ADVERTISING. And what kind of advertising will ap- _
pealto her? “System” magazine recently asked this very question of —
the presidents of 94 women’s clubs, the answer being a composit of the
replies of the members of those clubs, thus represeo™ay very accur-
ately the way women look at these things.

How the Women Answered

_ Here is the question:—“What method of sales solicitation pi seails
to you most as a customer—letters, personal calls; samples, newspaper
advertisements, etc?” ;

The answers showed the following result :—57 per cent. favored
newspaper advertisements; 13 per cent. favored samples; 7 per cent.
favored personal letters; 7 per cent. favored telephone or personal
calls; 2 per cent. favored demonstrations; 2 per cent. favored show
windows; and 12 per cent. mentioned miscellaneous appeals. ‘

Of course, I understand that this question was asked concerning ©
general merchandise; but please note that you lumber merchants have

“at your command every single kind of an appeal—100 per cent of them

—that the women themselves said had induced them to purchase.
Therefore, it is, to a certain degree of course, less important the
way you put forth your appeal, as what that appeal really is. In other
words, it seems to me that you should first find out what I want, and
then, if you can do so, tell me that you can supply that want.
You can readily see that this subject could be extended into un-
limited discussion, and I will therefore limit myself to the single phase
of homes.
Note, as I stated above, that much over half of the women said
they were influenced by newspaper advertisements. That means that
you should use your local papers to tell us that you can satisfy our
longing for that ideal home. Make that printed notice so attractive
that we will, as soon as we see it, say to ourselves: “That's just what
I want. Isn’t that the dearest little home?”
And let me tell you a secret; when you do that much, the rest will
be comparatively easy, for when we once make up our minds about
wanting something, we stay right with it until we get it. You may
think that you have made the decision, but, bless you, we made up
your minds first. ‘
After giving us the proper start—letting us “taste” that new home, a
so to speak—then you want to keep right on making its advantages
more apparent. Use the other kinds of appeal,—the personal call, —
the letter, the show window, the demonstration, that the women have.
found so alluring.
Not to persuade us, remember ; no, our minds have been made ip 4]
on that point already. But to give us arguments that we can pase on
to the check-writer of the family, and thus help you sell to us. ;

Invite Her to Your Office

Write us a tice letter and invite us to visit your office and see for
ourselves that you have just what we want ina home. That’s not so-
very hard to accomplish if you make your invitation attractive enough.
But be very careful, when we do come, that you give us proof that you

time, for I believe most women must have been born there. They
want tobeshown. They want to feel and touch and taste and weigh
“and measure; and sometimes I really expect to have one of them ask
for a sample of fir finish to match with her furniture.
Remember that a woman makes a business of. buying; she loves
bargain—to shop—and you must consider that characteristic. You
ist make it easy for her to choose; you must meet her wishes thor-
hly ; you must even anticipate her desires; you must convince her
shat you are less trying to sell something to her than to fill her wants.
_ Now that you have induced her to visit your office, you will have
a ie e her, on the walls and tables, samples of your materials, pictures
¢ Homes, and so forth. Asa rule, while she wants a home, she has
hy it the start only a vague idea of just what she wants. The first thing
- you to do is, therefore, to ascertain generally her wishes.

Find Out the Price and What She Wants For It

For instance, you should find out about the price she wishes to

7 pay; the size of the building; the number of rooms, etc., and each

; answer will narrow your field until you can finally offer for her selec-
a tion avery few gesiens, any of which will meet one or more of her

ae. es.

i Remember, Bike, that every woman has certain basic ideas about

; ae . —not merely a home, but living in a home-and you must take those
into consideration. ‘Thus, let me illustrate with a sample design

taken from the Home, Sweet Home plan book. ‘This is the onion

@ pas we use in Pocatello, and the one with which I am familiar.

} -.Here for example, is design Number 702.

1 wonder if any of you men have any conception of the number of
‘steps a woman takes during the day in. attending to her ordinary
_ housework? I wonder if you know that she actually and literally

alks hundreds of miles a year within those four walls? Don’t you
ink that any means of reducing that travel would be most heartily
q & Meecha? I know what the woman has to do—I know that in the
old style type of house—man-built—that point was entirely overlooked
oil, indeed, it was ever thought of.
"Now, I say to my woman visitor something like this: “Modern
ne building has become a science as well as an “art. I want you to
na at this design, which in all other respects meets your wishes as
_ to size and price. You know how many steps you take during the
day, walking around halls and doors and back and forth in your pre-
sent house. Now, draw straight lines between these points: Vesti-
he bule, living room, dining room; vestibule, hall, stairway, kitchen, back
"pore ; living room, dining room, hall, stairway and so on.
“Note that in going from every usual place to every other usual

Labor Saving Devices Important Features

Did you men know that a variation of only eight feet in the lo-
n of the kitchen sink means a difference of some 25 miles a year
g in getting meals?

et me tell you ‘ga now that if you want to sell to a woman, or

oad is because only houses have eee offered; mere buildings
-d and constructed by men; and you know that to most men—
-men—Home is only a place to eat and sleep in and go to
ss from.

other words, you retail lumbermen, so far as you have had any-
to say about the matter at all; so far.as the architect and car-
have allowed you to have a voice, you retail lumbermen have
rying to sell an article to the person least interested.

oman’s natural instinct is home-making, but you have for many
been ignoring this fact; you have been placing her under a
at handicap ; you have beet giving her four walls, with rooms ar-
d to suit your Own ideas or even perhaps to suit the-sizes of ma-
s the manufacturers send to you; you have gone on the principle
ul were providing just as good a house as anyone else had; and
it go at that.

Just as easy to. offer her what she wants as what she Bec
f it’s easier to-sell the first kind.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER d

The man who designs a house will call attention to the splendid
hall; but to a woman a hall is usually a place where the men-folks
leave their hats, coats, rubbers and other impediments—a place they
can muss us. A woman could easily get along without a hall, but

she wants closets; lets of them, well-placed, large, well lighted. She
wants places where she can put things away.
She Wants a “Culinary Studio”
And she wants a kitchen. No, she wants more than that. She
wants a convenient, well-lighted, well-ventilated “culinary studio”

where she can create meals. What do you men know about the pre-
liminary work necessary to produce that appetizing dinner you find
when you come home?

And she wants a home that is attractive to her visitors. She
wants a home that is artistic on the outside. In fact she would not
feel hurt to have such a home that strangers in the city will turn
around for a second pleased look.

' These are just a few of the things a woman wants in a home and
they are all of them possible. If you men will find out what we
women want, and then show us that you can.fill that want, you wi!l
enlist us as unpaid, but as enthusiastic and capable salespeople.

I wonder if you ever considered the fact that the material you
have for sale is the only material used in and around a home that the
women cannot buy; | might go further and say that it is hard for any-
one to buy it as it is used.

I believe that there is not a single home in any of the towns where
you gentlemen are in business where at this very moment there is not
something wanted which you have for sale.

It seems as though when the last workman leaves a house and
the family moves in, that the interest of the building material merch-
ant’‘ceases: - I think I am safe in saying that you gentlemen your-
selves do not know all of the ways and means in which you could use
your own stocks of materials in your own homes.

It is Easy to Provide Conveniences

There’s nearly always a place for an extra shelf; there’s an attic
to be made into an extra room; there is always a step or so ‘that needs
fixing; there are stairs that can be made into various receptacles with
great convenience to the woman of the house.

There are additional built-in features; clothes racks and posts;
porches to be inclosed; hardwood floors to be laid over. the old worn-
out floors; closets enlarged or re-arranged; doors replaced or cut in;
flower boxes; sleeping porches; pergolas; repairs and improvements
without end; all of which require the goods you have for sale.

It’s a woman’s nature to make the best of things as long as she
can—and it’s a good thing for you men that she does so. But. just try
awakening her to the benefit of these things ; call them to her attention
in an appealing manner and see what will happen.

Don’t write to her and tell-her that her house is a disgrace to the
town and she ought to fix it up. Certainly, things will be. apt to hap-
pen in that case, also, but not exactly what you might like to have
happen. Tell her of the advantage to her of, for example, having the
treads of the back stairs boxed and hinged to hold the family over-
shoes. _ She'll see the point very quickly and she’ll see that it is done,
too. Try to convince her that you are trying to get for her what she
herself wants, and you'll not only make the sale you have in view, but
you will gain an active and earnest booster for your entire business.

Gentlemen, it is good business policy to find out from the woman
herself what a woman wants; prove to her that you can supply those
wants; make your place of business fit and proper and attractive for
‘women to visit; don’t try to force a sale on her but make it easy for
her to buy—and above all, secure and maintain her confidence by de-
serving it.

The results to your business will more than justify all the thought
and care and work you give it. Does this suggest anything to the
wives of the retail building material merchants?

Lumber rates’ from Puget Sound to Australia, New Zealand,
Peruvia and Chile have again made large advances. The rates to
Australia and New Zealand ports have gone up 10 shillings per
thousand feet, board measure and the rates to Callao, Peru and Val-
paraiso, Chile, have advanced 5 shillings per thousand feet. Rates
to Adelaide or Melbourne, Australia, are now 120 shillings; Auck-
land, Wellington, Lyttleton, Dunedin and Sydney 110 shillings.
Lumber rates from Puget Sound to Southern California ports have
also advanced, going from $6 to $6.25 per thousand feet.

CANADA LUMBERMAN

Prairie Province Lumbering

Although the prairie provinces
are usually associated with but
one pursuit, namely, farming, the
forested portions give rise to a
lumbering industry of importance,
and, while inferior in develop-
ment to those of British Columbia
or the eastern provinces, are of
great value to the immigrant set-
tlement in the west. In 1913 some
188 mills in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta sawed approxi-
mately 250 million feet of lumber,
valued at the point of manufac-

ture at over $4,260,000. Of this
quantity, Saskatchewan forests
produced approximately two-

thirds, Alberta one-fifth, and Man-
itoba the balance. The prairie
market consumes about 1,434 mil-
lion feet- of lumber annually.
Over one-half of this comes from
British Columbia (in part from
the Railway Belt portion), and the
remainder is supplied from north-
western Ontario, the United
States, and the home forests.

In the course of an address on
the B. C. timber industry; de-
livered in the Legislature on
March 8th, the Member for Co-
mox, Mr. Michael Manson, said
that over 770,000,000 feet of logs
were cut in Vancouver district
last year, the value of the timber
being $16,200,000. Forty per
cent. of this valuation represented
labor, 17 per cent. transportation,
20 per cent. equipment and sup-
plies, and 17 per cent. taxes, in-
terest, etc. There were 445 sep-
arate logging operations in the
district, 182 being represented by
hand loggers. In 1915 the timber
cut of the province, in board mea-
sure, amounted to 1,152,000,000
feet, valued at $29,000,000.

J. B. Sutton’s shingle mill at
Arrowhead, erected in July of last
year, was purchased in December
last by A. J. Waskett (formerly
of Benton’s Siding, Salmo dis-
trict), and W. H. Donaldson, who
have secured incorporation as the
Diamond Lumber & Shingle Co.,
Ltd. A third machine is being in-
stalled in the plant, which will be
operated night and day through-
out the season.

The plant of the Edgewood
Lumber Co., Ltd., at Castlegar,
Nelson district, began cutting on
March 13th, 65 men being em-
ployed in and about the mill in
addition to about 200 in the firm’s
logging camps. Manager Waldie
hopes to make a big cut this sea-
son and will operate until the
latest date possible next fall in
order to supply the strong prairie
demand for lumber.

The sawmill at Cascade, Nel-
sou district, owned by the Forest
Mills of B. C., Ltd.; was started
up about the middle of March.
About 80 men will be employed
when the plant is in full operation.

Ontario

Retailers are reporting a slight improvement in the demand for
building material, particularly in the smaller centres. Farmers ap-
parently are coming into the market with moderate requirements for
new buildings and additions to old buildings. In the larger cities the
manufacturing industries are consuming a fair amount of stock, the
furniture, piano and automobile manufacturers continue to use fairly
large quantities of lumber and all are reporting quite an active trade.
The building situation in the larger cities, while it is by no means
active, shows a slight improvement and the indications are that, dur-
ing the present spring and the coming summer, there will be a marked
improvement in this line over the situation that existed last year. <A
number of architects who have been interviewed by the Canada Lum-
berman report that they have prepared plans for a fair number of
buildings and that some of these are already materializing into con-
tracts. Much of the building going on in the cities, however, is for
manufacturers, there being only a very slight activity in the house
building industry.

Continued discussion is heard in regard to the shell box industry.
The large quantity of contracts recently awarded by the Imperial
Munitions Board, as recorded in our issue of April Ist, does not seem
to have created anything like the activity that might have been ex-
pected. We have heard that quite a number of these contracs have
been refused by the parties who made the tenders, as the cost of manu-
facturing boxes has been advancing so rapidly, not only in regard to
the price of raw material, but the cost of labor. These contracts
were tendered for on very close margins; in fact many wholesalers
who have figured upon stocks required, report that some of the con-
tracts were tendered for at prices below the cost of production.

We understand that the Imperial Munitions Board is trying to
place the contracts that have been turned down, but is not meeting
with much encouragement. It is unfortunate that the conditions
surrounding these contracts have led to such close figuring. If they
had been let at prices involving a moderate profit in each case the ad-
vantage to the lumbering industry and the box making industry would
have been very great.

The situation in connection with the production of lumber in
Northern Ontario is rather uncertain at present. Reports from manu-
facturers indicate that in some districts the output will be consider-
ably-smaller han usual, while in other districts, notably that along
the north shore of, Georgian Bay, a fair production is expected. Hem-
lock production, will probably be considerably lower than usual
Travellers who have recently called upon mills report that the quan-
tity manufactured this year will show a decrease of from 25 to 50 per
cent. as compared with previous years.

Eastern Canada

Sawing operations have again commenced at St. John, N. B. A
few of the mills commenced early in April and the others were due to
follow suit within a week or two. Heavy shipments of deals have
been taking place lately, many vessels arriving and taking on cargoes
for the Admiralty. During the next two months several million feet
of deals will go forward on Admiralty orders. Most of the deals
shipped recently have come from interior points. Prices are steady.
Difficulty continues in connection with shipments to New Engiand
States, on account of the embarfgoes placed by railway companies
upon lumber. If the railways are able to handle the business pre-
sented, a good season is expected by American buyers. Prices, when
delivery can be made, for New England markets, are about $15.50 to
$16 for 2x 3 in. and 2 x 6 in., other sizes in proportion, f.o.b. St. John.
Merchantable spruce boards are scarce and bring about $16.50 per M.
Lath are about $3.25 f.0.b. St. John. Shingles are quiet with ample
stock.

Driving operations are how under way on the St. John River from
Fredericton to St. John. Bank logs are selling at about $13,50 to
$14.00 and battens are bringing $9.50 to $10. per M. delivered St. John.
The driving situation looks promising.

The lumber trade at Montreal during the past fortnight has
continued on a quiet scale. Building permits, while small, are show-
ing a little tendency to increase. Local yards are comparatively
bare of stock. Large orders for spruce for United States points have
been received recently, at better prices than those of a year ago. In
each case prompt shipment is required. Cars continue scarce for
shipment of lumber. The scarcity of vessels is also a continued
handicap and it looks as though little or no improvement may be ex-
pected this year. = .

The spruce market at Boston has improved considerably during
the past fortnight. _At Boston and Maine points, quotations for

Great Britain

Prices of spruce deals in Great Britain at present show very
definitely that this timber has been under-valued in the English mar-
ket in the past, as the advance that has taken place lately in spruce —
deal prices is greater in proportion than that which has taken place ©
in any other classes of wood. 3 x 11 in. spruce deals are selling at
from £32 to £35, 3x 9 in. at £30 to £31, and battens at £27, £28
and £29 per standard. At Liverpool spot lots of spruce deals for
liners are quoted by shippers at £30 per standard ‘ci. with war —
insurance extra, while £29 has been quoted at Manchester. For-
ward business is very limited and the absence of steam tonnage is
sure to have a very serious effect on the Manchester market. Ship-
owners appear to be rather nervous about the use of Mersey ports.
Stocks of spruce deals are quickly being reduced to a minimum at
both Liverpool and Manchester, both in importers’ and consumers’
hands. The consumptive demand continues strong and arrivals are
very much less than the quantity consumed. Birch spot values at
Liverpool are still climbing. Recent arrivals have quickly passed
from importers’ hands to the consumers. As imports are restricted
stocks will be rapidly cleared out. All pine goods are advancing in
price at Manchester. Third quality Quebec pine is offered at about
£36: for 3-31: thee

At London, the spot market continues fairly active and deliveries
are quite extensive, considering the stock from which they are drawn.
‘Forward business continues on a small scale as a result of the enor- —
mous freight rates now asked. At Foy, Morgan & Company’s recent
auction sale 3 x 9 in. unsorted Quebec spruce, at a wharf, sold for
£29 5s. 3x9 in. fourth quality brought £26 10s. 3 x 8 in. unsorted
red brought £26 10s. 2 x 4/13 hemlock from St. John brought
£21 5s.

United States

Business and industrial conditions throughout the United States
continue to indicate that this year will be an excellent one for the
lumber industry and trade. The indications today are that during
the present spring the building activity will be greater than it has —
been for years. This satisfactory condition appears to exist in all
parts of the United States, but is far more pronounced in the New Eng- —
land States than elsewhere. Factories throughout the New England
territory are overloaded with orders and are finding it necessary to in- ©
crease their facilities for production, which is resulting in plans for —
uew buildings and additions to old ones. The activity, moreover, in
the East, is not confined to factories, but includes the house building
industry as well, as a result of the great number of employees who
receiving good wages and planning to build or buy new homes. I
interesting feature in connection with the building situation in th
New Egland States is a great increase in the number of slow-burning
or mill construction buildings that are being planned, or that are in
the course of erection. The price of steel has soared so high that mill
construction is becoming more and more popular. ce a

The improvement in the building situation is gnly one feature in

the general prosperity reported from all over the United States. In

much business as they can handle for all of 1916 and-part of 1917. If
they would take on further business they could easily secure it. The
railroads, in nearly all cases, are handling the heaviest business in
their history, and this is at a time of year when, as a rule, there is a
considerable reduction in the quantity of tonnage offered. The scar-

city of railroad cars is conflicting with industrial expansion every- ©

where.

In the lumber situation probably the most interesting news comes
from the Pacific Coast, and from the Inland Empire, where the out-
put has been extremely heavy and the quantity of cars available for
shipment has been fairly satisfactory. With the early resumption
of traffic through the Panama Canal in sight, and a number of lumber
carrying vessels under construction at Pacific Coast ship yards, the
outlook for shipment of Pacific Coast stocks to. Atlantic Coast points
is good, and manufacturers are looking forward to a big trade in these
markets.

Southern pine manufacturers have not been doing well in regard
to the quantity of railroad cars received, and their business is being
held back to some extent on this account. There is an excellent de-
mand for material for mill construction buildings. | Production is be-
ing maintained at a reasonable level. Shipments of material for rail-

Ottawa Valley Output Likely to Show Reduction

Ottawa, April 9th; (Special to the Canada Lumberman ) :-—Owing
to the excessive amount of snow and ice which remain in the woods,
the spring drives in the Ottawa districts will be at least two weeks
later than last year. However, as most of the lumber firms are still
working at the spring cut, the lateness will not occasion much incon-
venience. As to the quantity that will be brought down this season
it is generally thought that it will be considerably less than last year.
Some lumbermen think that it will be normal, however, when the
large number of logs remaining from last year are added to this
winter’s cut.

During the past two weeks there has been quite an improvement
in the lumber trade in the American market and local lumber dealers
are looking forward to a still better trade from that quarter. The
local Canadian trade has also picked up well, but this is owing mainly
to the shell box business, which trade is consuming a large quantity
of lumber.

All indications point to a greater shortage of tonnage to take care
of the British shipments during the coming season of navigation, but
the principal lumbermen are hoping that other markets will develop
to dispose of the grades usually shipped to the United Kingdom. Just
now, spruce is very strong in the New York market, and the same
may be said of lath. Quite a number of sales of lath have been made
during the past week, for the coming season,-at an advance in prices’
over those of last year.

St. John Mills Commence Sawing

Saint John, N. B., April 6th, (Special to the Canada Lumber-
man) :—The past two weeks have seen the beginning of sawing
operations for the season of 1916.. Messrs. Stetson Cutler & Co., and
Murray & Gregory, Ltd., have started their mills; the former saw-
ing largely for the American market and the latter for the English
inarket.. The other mills in this vicinity will follow along during the
next few days, practically all sawing English deals.

Shipments of deals have been extremely heavy during the past
two weeks, as many boats have arrived and departed with Admiralty
orders. It is said that orders have been taken for delivery during
{he next two months which run into several millions. Nearly all
the deals shipped lately have been from interior points, being portable
sawn stock. Prices remain unchanged, the only great trouble is to
get tonnage and cars, one seeming about as scarce as the other.
Nearly all the railroads in New England have placed embargoes on
lumber during the last few days. The embar go on the N. Yu Nad:
& Hartford Railroad has been lifted, but for how long, seems ‘impos-
sible to say. Should the railways be able to handle the business put
up to them, the American buyers look for a good season, and_ fair
prices. On account of the embargo it is almost impossible to state
prices, but where deliveries can be made, 2 3 in. and 2.x 6.in: ate
worth $15.50 to $16. 2x 4 in., $16.50; 2 x 8 ins, $19; 2 x 10 in: $22,

ing contended that the Government road has failed to take delivery
of loads which the C. P. R. is holding, resulting in congestion at C.
P. R. terminals. Mr. F. P. Gutelius, however, denies that there is
ground for this embargo, stating that the International is handling all
C. P. R. traffic offered, and that the fault is with the latter company
in not switching the cars out of the terminals.

Present appearances are against heavy exports from this port to
the United Kingdom. The prospective tonnage will be smaller than
that of last season, and the steamship companies do not hold out any
hope of being able to ship large quantities on any vessel. Two or-
three lumber firms have already made arrangements for shipping a
fair amount by tramp steamers, and it is more than likely that other
tramps will have to be chartered if very large quantities of lumber
have to be sent. The prohibition by the British Government of the
import of birch, except under license, will mean an appreciable re-
duction in the wood exported from Montreal. At the same time this
description of lumber is required for so many purposes, including war
purposes, that it is probable the prohibition will not be pressed to an
undue extent. Although the United Kingdom took large shipments
trom Canada last season, consumption has been rapid, and more stock
will be required.

The continued restricted imports of sulphite pulp from European
countries into the United States have again stiffened quotations of
Canadian productions. The demand is greater than ever, and United
States firms are making urgent requests for all the sulphite that can
be made in this country. It will be many weeks before Europe can
send anything approaching substantial quantities, and with an in-
creasing request for our sulphite the immediate market outlook is
extremely satisfactory. Ground wood has also improved, while
newsprint mills are running to capacity.

Saw Gauges— Standard or Thin
Discussing the above subject from an extensive and varied ex-

perience with both kinds, I cannot find any advantage in thin saws

for the work of today.

My preference is a saw 7-gauge at the centre and 8 on the rim,
fitted with a point 9/32-inch wide, and for cutting hard woods or
frozen timber, a still narrower kerf is better. My experience, together
with that of thousands of mill men and skilled sawyers, has demon-
strated that the extra gauge at the centre adds very materially to the
standing-up qualities of the saw without perceptibly reducing the
clearance. In saws 54-inch and up, 6-gauge at the centre and 8 on the
rim, is still better, where heavy feed can be used. Very many mill
men are using log saws two gauges heavier at the centre, regardless
of the diameter of the saw and its feed.

A saw ground with a heavier centre is not so susceptible to the
variations of speed. It will hold its line much better than the thin
blade, thus preventing friction, heating, buckling, loss of power, and
re-hammering charges, which is an item in the life of a saw. All the
resistance applied to the rim of a saw in its passage through a log
must be supported by its centre. A strong centre saw will stand up
where a thin saw fails. The consequence is that the thin saw is run-
ning in and out of the log, using power wastefully, and making cull
lumber, besides drawing the tension out of the blade by the friction
produced between the saw and the log. ;

It will be in order to find the thickness in decimal parts of an
inch in the different gauges we are discussing as well as in fractional
parts of an inch. :

A 6-gauge blade contains .203 of an inch or is scant 13/64-in. thick.

A 7-gauge blade contains .180 of an inch or is scant 3/16-in. thick.

A 8-gauge blade contains .165 of an inch or is scant 11/64-in. thick.

A 9-gauge blade contains .148 of an inch or is full 9/64-in. thick.

A 10-gauge blade contains .134 of an inch or is full 1/8-in. thick.

We find that an 8-gauge is 3/64-inch thicker than a 10-gauge on
the rim, and is still thicker on the centre, according to the number o
gauges added there. net

The mill.man desires a 9-gauge saw because he figures that in
cutting %-inch kerf, he saves 1/32-inch over and above an 8-gauge
cutting 9/32-inch, thus gaining one 4/4 board in thirty-two cuts. He
can do this, if his power is ample, and his appliances just right, but
his set works ought to graduate to the one-hundredth part of an inch,
and lock when he sets up, with no lost motion between the set shaft
and the knee, so that the cant is firm and rigid where he sets it; and
to save one board on a decrease of 1/32-inch kerf, the log would have
to be at least forty inches in diameter. It must be remembered that
the thin saw requires more uniform speed and more teeth than the
heavier standard gauge. The proper speed must be maintained
throughout. A thin saw, travelling at the speed for which it is ten-
sioned, does not travel on the same line when the velocity is reduced.
This often occurs in one and the same cut. The product under such
conditions is thin and thick boards, feather edged boards, and wedge
shapes. The planing mill man gets fuel from thick boards in planing-
to specifications (freight paid). No one can tell where a saw will travel
when it has lost its standing-up qualities for lack of velocity. It is

April 15, 1916

his the course offering the least resistance to its passing through
the log. ;

_It is a mistake, and a serious mistake, for anyone to give specifi-
cations for a saw calling for a feed largely in excess of his actual
requirements. The saw should be adapted to the actual capacity of
the mill. This will be governed largely by the available power, or the
power left for the circular, after allowing for auxiliary machinery,
such as slab slasher, edger, sawdust conveyor, trimmer, etc. The
specifications given the saw maker is usually the maximum power of
engine, and the available power to drive the circular is not given.
The lack of this information is misleading to the saw maker in adjust-_
ing the tension.

Sawyers and mill men have discussed the proper mandrel speed
for circular saws, since when the memory of man runneth not. They
seldom consider adapting thickness of saw to power and true capacity
of mill because a circular saw is a circular saw. One saw requires as.
much clearance on each side as the other saw, regardless of thickness
of blade. This is eminently correct, but the speed for a thick standard ;
gauge saw should be 10,000 rim feet per minute, thin saws.more. This
will require a mandrel speed for a 52-inch standard saw of about 750
revolutions per minute. If the available power is insufficient to main-
tain the speed for which the saw has been tensioned then find the
speed that you can well maintain, and have the saw maker adjust |
the tension of the saw to this speed. There is no better rule-—Disston —

Transmit 100°.
of Your Power

Why pay good money to generate power and then employ a poor belt that will only transmit
_a fraction of that power.

If you equip your mill with Goodhue Belts you can transmit 100% of the power generated.

Goodhue Belts stretch 15% to 25% less than other belts and have just the right amount of
‘‘cling’”’ on the pulley.

DISSTON SAWS

have been made from steel made by us in our own plant
since 1855. More than sixty years experience in the manu-
facture of saw-steel coupled with a study of operating
requirements extending over three quarters of a century
have resulted in saws of highest excellence.

In tension—, set—and edge-holding qualities Disston
Saws are as near per-
fection as the world’s
foremost Saw- makers
can make them. .

Where quality means economy, the
| proper test is service.

INDUCED DRAFT SYSTEM

In order to lessen the danger of fire in plants burning sawdust and
mill waste, the above installation was made by a Western saw mill.
It also prevents the discoloration of the lumber on account of the
absence of cinders.
Induced draft for twelve return tubular boilers is furnished by two
Sturtevant Multivane Fans, each driven by a Sturtevant Horizontal
Steam Engine. Only one unit is used at any one time, the other being
held as a reserve.
The hot gases are drawn from the fan and are blown into a centrifugal
separator which allows the gases to escape through a chimney at the
top. Cinders drop out through the outlet at the bottom, falling into
the river below.
Sturtevant mechanical draft engineers have made a thorough study of
the burning of sawdust and mill waste and can give valuable advice to
Superintendents. Why not investigate our proposition?

Differs in Quality and Variety

For instance, a certain quality or kind of brick that gives
satisfaction when used in a Refuse Burner, may show

up poorly if used in a Dutch Oven.

It all depends on getting the right kind and the right
quality for your particular needs.

Just tell us what you want it for, and we’ll send a fire-
brick that was made for that very purpose.

We Manufacture the Following Well Known Brands

“Elko,” “Elk Steel,” “St Marys,”
“Keystone”? and “ Rotex”

LOGGING LOCOMOTIVES

The designs of our Logging locomotives are the
result of wide experience, extending over a period
of 80 years.

The material used in their construction is thor-
oughly tested and is the best of its kind.

All details are accurately finished to standard

gauges and are absolutely interchangeable on all locomotives of the same class and size.

This cuts out long delays at critical times of the work, as parts liable to wear can be kept on hand or

shipped promptly from our works.

and new parts. We give special attention to the maintenance of all
kinds of saw mill machinery. Some of your equipment can
doubtless be more profitably replaced than repaired. Let your

you unequalled satisfaction.

One drawback of the ordinary Steam
Nigger is the fact that it requires an
expert to handle it. Only a slight
skip on’ the part of the operator is
sufficient to cause disastrous results.

Where the carriage is of medium weight, unless
in the hands of an experienced man, the danger
of wrecking the carriage is especially great.

The Waterous Kendall Nigger is practically
accident-proof. While it possesses both the
speed and power of the ordinary Steam Nigger,
it is so designed that a green operator can do
quick and effective work without endangering the
carriage in any way.

WATEROUS
KENDALL
NIGGER

By attaching the Nigger Bar to one cylinder
only, one motion of the operating lever turns the
log and a quite distinct and separate motion is
required to load it.

The stroke of the cvlinder controliing the loading
motion is made very short and thus further pre-
cludes the possibility of a serious mishap. _~

The Kendall Nigger is constructed to be pow-
erful and rapid in action. The cylinders are 10
in. and 8 in. in diameter, pistons are steam cush-
ioned at both ends of stroke, valves are adjust-
able to permit increase or decrease of operat-
ing speed without affecting the power of the
machine.

Nigger Bar is of wrought iron, dogs are extra
wide, top dog is winged, a steel roller is sup-
plied. No Floor plate is necessary. All lever
and crank connections are made short and di-
rect, so that the machine gives instant response
to the movements of the sawyer’s lever.

A great many of these Niggers are already in use
in mills, where speed and accuracy on the log
deck are essential, but where. a medium weight
Carriage is operated. If your conditions are
similar the Waterous Kendall Nigger will give

What Per Cent. Efficient Are You?

Something unique in the way of business study is furnished by a
retailer in the Southern States who gave an address at one of the large
conventions of lumbermen recently held. We have all read and
heard so much about “System” that we have grown rather tired both
of the word and the idea which it represents, because it has been so
_ set up and worshiped as a fetish, often to the real neglect of other
- factors that are of equal importance. The application of
~ genuine “System” and so-called “System” to business conditions has
‘been worked out in such wealth of detail that something in the way of
‘revulsion is awakened by the mere mention of the word. We do
pa imply that the proper study of “System” as it applies to our indi-
vidual business requirements is to be neglected, but that it has been
overdone and that we need to be careful lest we make too much of it,

to the detriment of the rest of our business details.

However, the idea we now have in mind is something new to us
long this line, being a suggested method for making a detailed an-
| sis of one’s own business ability and personal equipment, and find-
out to what per cent. he is efficient. - As worked out in detail,
s idea is presented elsewhere in the present issue, in an address de-
red by Mr. R. J. Tolson, who has drawn up a fairly comprehensive
of important qualifications for a retail lumberman. These he
ices to their most elementary and easily understood forms, tabul-
g them under 16 heads and then leaving it with his hearers, or
‘s, to make their own personal applications, entering up the re-
@ figures and arriving at a definite conception of their own effi-
. While the writer does not set this idea forward as a practi-
r scientific solution of the whole problem of analyzing business
iency, he has furnished us with something quite valuable in the
a means for getting at the truth about ourselves in a frank
‘manner. ~The idea is, in fact, applicable to all varieties of

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

—

100 per cent. efficient. An honest analysis along the lines suggested
in this plan would probably surprise most of them.

Mr. Tolson’s method may be faulty. It may not be comprehen-
sive. It may omit consideration of some very important elements.
However,*it does provide a suggested plan which can be applied, with
variations, to every man’s individual case. The general rules laid
down are quite good, and it rests only with the individual to make the
necessary variations and apply the scheme to his own case honestly.
Ye will then know, far more definitely than he ever did before, just
where he stands in regard to his own business ability. Unfortunately,
this scheme, laudable and interesting as it is, provides only a means
by which a man may size up himself; not a means by which one man
may.size up another. But even at that, it is quite a timely contribu-
tion to our study of “System” and our modern tendency to make the
most of ourselves, our equipment, and our activities.

One of the most interesting features of this plan is that it, at-
taches no importance whatever to either capital or luck. Capital is
extraneous to the man; has nothing whatever to do with his personal
ability. Luck, if there be any such thing in the business world, is so
fickle that it cannot be subjected to analysis. The efficient man
usually puts himself oftenest in the way of luck, and finds it easier to
make an alliance with capital. To see what your own rating is in the
efficiency market, read this article by Mr. Tolson, then apply its prin-
ciples honestly to your own case.
least do you a lot of good.

The Wide Awake Retailer—_A Man
of Many Parts

Much of the success of the lumber industry is undoubtedly de-
dependent upon the manner in which the retail lumber trade is con-
ducted. Every wholesaler, calling upon retailers, has the man whom
he visits pretty definitely classified in his own mind into two general
divisions, which include, in the first class, those who are alive to the
possibilities of increasing their trade, and in the second class those
who are more or less dead ones. We are reproducing elsewhere in
this issue a portion of an address delivered recently before a lumber-
men’s association by Mr. J. C. Dionne, who told very forcibly how a
retailer can get everything possible in the way of trade out of his
district. In the first place the suggestion is definitely put forth that,
in order to realize all the possibilities of his business, it is necessary
for the retailer to consider his ability to serve his customers, No
matter in what kind of a community a retailer carries on his trade this
fact holds good. Either in a large town where there is a great deal of
building in progress or in a comparatively quiet farming community
the retailer’s key for opening the door of success is his ability to
serve—and by serving we mean today far more than we meant a few
years ago. This fact is brought out very definitely by contrasting
the equipment of a dealer a decade or two ago with the equipment of
a modern dealer. The former carried a stock of building material
and he knew a good deal about it. With his knowledge and his stock
he was supposed to have acquired all that was necessary to conduct
a successful retail lumber business. Today, knowledge and stock are
important in their way, but they constitute only a portion of what a
dealer must have if he wishes to do a successful trade.

It may open your eyes; it will at

Business does not come to a man of its own free will nowadays,
as it used to do, to some extent, in the good old days of our fore-
fathers. Getting a man’s business is no longer a matter of keeping
materials in stock and delivering them to him when he happens to
want them. Getting business is a wonderfully complex matter today.
It has its material side relating to stocks, equipment, yards, etc., its
office side, relating to bookkeeping, management of employees, etc.,
and its psychological side relating to the creating of a demand, the
foreseeing of possibilities in the way of demand, the turning of these
possibilities into realities and the directing of the demand into the
channels of your own trade.

None of these features of progressive trading can be neglected
nowadays. They work together to produce the final result, in so in-
timate a manner that if one of them is neglected the efficiency of all
the others is greatly impaired. Starting from the position of the old

os CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

timer with his stock and his knowledge about it, there comes next the
manner in which the stock is kept. The yard can be made to bring
trade just as surely as a good traveller can be trained to get orders. A
yard should almost speak to the people who visit it or pass it by. It
should be kept in attractive order; its fences, sheds, etc., should be
neatly kept up and they should all help to illustrate the attractiveness
_ otf lumber for its various uses, by being well constructed and bright-
ened wherever possible by the use of well selected color schemes
worked out in good paint. Similar ideas apply to the office. <A
man or a woman entering the office ought to commence unconsciously
as a result of what he or she sees, to think how nice this, that or the
other material which is displayed would look in their own home, or
how its use could be adapted for purposes which would help in.their
home decoration or improvement. ‘The retailer’s own house even
should be made, so far as possible, to act as an example for his fellow
citizens. No matter how humble his home may be it will be a stand-
ing advertisement, or the reverse, for the lumber yard, according to
the way in which it is kept.

Recruiting Methods—Why Not Modernize Them ?

Dean Cappon, of Queen’s University, voices the sentiments of a
very large percentage of the Canadian people when he says: “Let
there be decent consideration for those who think they have good en-
ough reasons not to go, at least as yet, to the war.”

Possibly, if Dean Cappon spoke all that is in his mind, he would
put it more strongly. - Doubtless he has seen the ill-advised methods
of recruiting that are being utilized from day to day by the rank and
file of various battalions. Doubtless he realizes that the present sys-
tem of semi-coercion has little to commend it, and, in a very large
number of cases does more harm than good. Its biggest weakness,
perhaps, is that it fails to discriminate between the man who holds
back because he is a coward and the man who delays because his in-
telligence tells him that his proper place, as yet, is where he is.

The methods of recruiting as practised in Canada, if Toronto may
be taken as a criterion, lack nothing so much as intelligence and good
sound horse-sense. There is ample and laudable enthusiasm—but
misdirected. Khaki enthusiasts fail to see, or refuse to see, that the
business of the country is next in importance to the war, and as such
demands fair consideration. They fail, or refuse, to see that many
a young man, however desirable as a member of their unit, may be,
by comparison, still more useful as a civilian in this present time of
stress. They fail, or refuse, to grant to the intelligent individual the
right to use his own judgment as to when is the proper time for him
to give up the one and take hold of the other. In other words, the
present system of recruiting is specially designed for the dilettante;
the indifferent, the man lacking in moral and mental fibre; it is a re-

And talking of advertisements, the retailer has a great opportunit;
in connection with his trade, in his judicious use of advertising spa Ac
in his local papers. There is nothing which gets quite so intimate
under the skin of the ordinary citizen in a large or a small commu
as the pointers and information generally, which appear in his local
newspaper. The retailer is losing the service of a great salesmat
if he does not use advertising space of this kind scientifically. Ne
mere mention of one’s name in an advertisement will do good. TI
basis of good advertising is suggestion. It should be used to su

set forth in Mr. Dionne’s article. It will repay careful study by
retail readers. We are certain that no retailer can read it
starting a useful train of thought about his business methods, —

flection on the patriotism of the man who does his duty as he sees ii

All of this, and more, no doubt Dean Cappon has prominenth;
in mind when he makes a plea for merely “decent consideration” fo
the men who do their own thinking. If these men had followed th
line of least resistance many of them would have been in uniform
months ago. Fortunate it is, as we see it, that, in the absence of
slightest apparent effort on the part of our Government to cope witl
this problem of filling up the ranks of the numerous battalions the
have authorized, there are men strong enough to brave the jibes am
insinuations of miscellaneous, misguided recruiting agents. The
are simply juvenile attempts at a man’s job! How can we comba
efficiency except with efficiency ? :

‘The men who are strong enough to “think“ to-day, men who
strong enough to resist following the lines of least resistance, cry ou
for some movement on the part of our Government which will enabl
us, as a nation, to carry on our share of this war in such a way as t
conserve in the best possible manner our fighting resources—presen
and future. ‘There is not a man of these who is not ready to go whet

Why doesn’t our Government find out? Why hasn’t it an inventor}
of every citizen of Canada, that it could say to him, “Here is you
place!”? But instead of acting, our Government delegates this auth
ority to the illiterate private in the ranks, and, indirectly at least, autl
orize the man of small intelligence to badger and coerce the man wh«
sees his duty clearly and is doing it. Why cannot our Governmen
move in this matter?

The Retailer and the Salesman—How their Interests Coincide

In these days, when the salesman who represents a mill or a
wholesale firm has more time than usual to devote to a consideration
of how he stands personally with his customers, it will repay him, and
the retailer also, to give the subject more than a passing thought. In
fact it will be to their benefit to give the matter pretty extensive study.
In the first place the relation of the salesman and the retailer is some-
thing far more intimate than that of the ordinary dealer and purchaser.
In order to produce the best results, both to the retailer and to the
salesman, their relationship should be of a peculiarly intimate nature.
Their business interests overlap at many points. They can be mutuy
ally helpful or otherwise, just in proportion as they realize this fact.

Take the case of the retailer, for instance, and think of what he
gets from the good salesman who is anxious to serve him as thor-
oughly as possible. He gets, in the first place, stocks of lumber. He
gets also, a great deal of valuable advice about prices and available
supplies, and he gets’an acquaintance with the grades of lumber that
are best suited for his special line of trade. Then take the sales-
man’s case! he gets from the retailer, not only orders for stock, but

knowledge about the requirements of the local and surroundin
markets and valuable information about what may be required in. th
near future. He learns of opportunities ‘that are continually develog
ing for moving certain lines of stock of which his firm may eae
long supply. He learns in advance of requirements that will ma
profitable for his firm to buy stocks which he knows where to local
\We might enlarge this list of mutual interests almost indefinitely. — 1
points clearly to the necessity for co-operation on a very Relat
intimate basis.

It will pay both parties therefore, to eanivake each other’s fri
ship carefully. Business conditions today not only make this co-
eration possible, but encourage it. When a salesman calls upon a
tailer he only has a few calls, at the most, to make in the one tov
and it will frequently happen that both parties can afford time for
friendly discussion of trade affairs, for the purpose of developing th
lines of mutual assistance. >

While on this subject, one of the most important factors that th
salesman can bring into play comes to mind, namely, his knowledge ¢

(sO ee fee < weer Lae ae

ee by means Ve which he can assist the retailer to lay
cs as will make his trade more profitable. He becomes,
upon the trade for any length of time, intimately ac-
the requirements of the various districts, and he can
ler valuable advice and sell him stocks which are speci-
both to his purse and trade. Giving the retailer value for
is something to which the salesman cannot devote too
{tention. In the United States, during the past year, a factor
2 into play in this connection which is of much significance,
-marking of lumber. At the bottom of this idea is the

tent, if at all. But it has such advantages in its favor that we believe
the success of the idea in the United States will lead to its adoption in
Canada to a greater or less extent in the near future. After all, the
man whom it is more important to please than all others is the one
who is going to use the lumber, and the surest way of pleasing him is
to sell him a line which serves his purpose well and which he can de-
pend upon obtaining again when he needs a new supply. Even
without a trade-mark it has always been in exact proportion to the
certainty with which a salesman can guarantee his goods and furnish
repeat shipments of equal quality, that his business has flourished. In
other words the man who can deliver just what the purchaser de-
sires, both now and in the future is the one who will get and keep his
trade, and in reaching this conclusion we come back to the fact which
we put forward in starting this article; that the surest way to enlist
the sympathy of a retailer is to get at his personal side, by talking over
trade with him and endeavoring to make him, not only a customer,
but a personal and intimate trade acquaintance, who will buy your
goods and co-operate with you in the exchange of useful information
about the many important interests which you both have in common.
Co-operation means increased trade for both parties.

For best results these floors should be laid under competent sup-
ervision, for unless certain fundamental rules are followed trouble is
very liable to ensue. Most of the trouble is caused by the swelling

difficulties which may be guarded against, however, by carefully fol-
lewing the most approved methods.

A war against currants and gooseberries where they are found in
the vicinity of white pine, has been declared by forestry and agricul-
iural experts. These bushes have been found to be the most vulner-
able point of attack of the latest tree disease, the white pine blister
rust, which has been imported to America from Europe, where it has
made the growing of white pine impossible. The United States
Senate has already taken up the problem of this plague, with the in-
troduction by Senator Gallinger of a bill giving the Secretary of
Agriculture funds and authority to combat this disease. This dis-
ease, first found within the last few years, is certain to become a
most dangerous tree disease unless steps are quickly taken to control
it, and the peculiar nature of the disease is in its being spread by the
currant and gooseberry. The disease cannot spread from one pine to

another, but can spread from a pine to currant or gooseberry bushes, .

and from them back to the pines, which it will kill, even when the
trees are thirty years old. The disease was imported to this country
on nursery stock of white pine, and plantations from such stock in the
states of New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut have been found to be infected. Planta-
tions in other states have been found to be infected. The govern-
mental authorities declare that where this disease is found, the safe
thing to do is to kill all infected pines, and all currant or gooseberry
bushes in the vicinity., The disease attacks several varieties of white
pine, including the, sugar pine of the Pacific coast. The federal gov-
ernment is‘asked to make an appropriation of $50,000 for the fight
against the pest. Massachusetts has asked its legislature for $10,000
for the war against the blight, and other states where the plantations
are already infected are to be asked to-aid in the fight.

A pamphlet has been issued describing the course in lumbering
which is being given at Harvard University for the purpose of train-
ing men for the lumber business. The course is offered by the Har-
yard School of Business Administration in co-operation with the De-
partment of Forestry. The pamphlet describes the various courses of
instruction which relate directly to lumbering. An indication is also
eiven of the extensive attention that is given to business subjects.
The course is a very thorough one and will be of great advantage to
young men who intend to go into the lumber business in any of its
forms, ‘

28 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

Lieut. Jas. M. Cane Wounded

Lieut. Jas. M. Cane, son of Mr.
J. G. Cane, the well known Tor-
onto wholesale lumber dealer was
reported wounded recently in
France. Word to this effect was
received by Mr. Cane, 97 Dela-
ware Avenue, Toronto, on April
13th. Lieut. James M. Cane was
for a time engaged in journalistic
work in Toronto before leaving
for the Front. Besides having
occupied positions with important
Toronto daily newspapers, he was
at one time an assistant on the
staff of the Canada Lumberman,
and was well known in this capa-
city to the lumber trade in Tor-
onto. It is now over a year since
Lieut. Cane enlisted with the 4th
Canadian Mounted Rifles. He
was transferred to the 37th Bat-
talion and went to England last
November. For some time he
was stationed at Shorncliffe camp
as infantry instructor, but about five or six weeks ago was sent to
France with a draft of officers from the base.

The last letter his father received from him was written some
eight weeks ago and stated that he expected to be sent to France. Mr.
Cane has received no further word regarding his son’s injuries, but is
hoping to receive a communication soon. A brother of Lieut. Cane,
Pte. Chas. M. Cane is in France with the 58th Battalion, having en-
listed over a year ago and having been sent to France from England
in the early part of March.

Equipment of the Forestry Battalion

When the 224th Overseas Battalion paraded recently in Ottawa,
for inspection by his Royal Highness the Governor-General, the
equipment carried by the members of the battalion created consider-
able discussion among lumbermen in Ottawa and elsewhere. We
have heard several lumbermen discussing this matter“and in order to
explain the affair we have made enquiry of the Officer Commanding.
It will be recalled that, upon that occasion, the Forestry Battalion
paraded with various implements, among which were broad-axes. As
broad-axes are used for squaring timber. and as the Forestry Batta-
lion will probably be employed chiefly in the felling of timber and
have little or no squaring to do, there was some criticism about this
equipment, a few lumbermen going so far as to intimate that the
carrying of broad-axes laid the battalion open to ridicule.

The Officer Commanding, referring to this subject, says :—‘‘Your
information as to part of the implements which our battalion carried
during this parade in quite correct, but they carried also peavies,
‘camp-dogs, cross-cut saws, etc. This parade was not intended to
show what implements they should carry, but merely for inspection
by his Royal Highness the Governor-General. Our equipment alto-
gether will be that used in the lumber industry in Canada and_ there-
fore, this parade cannot be taken as affording any example of the
equipment we will carry abroad.”

The 224th Forestry Battalion has made quite a record in recruit-
ing, having, in about one month secured some 1,800 men.

Broken Boom Creates Excitement at Ottawa

A large boom of logs near Lemieux Island on the Ottawa River,
which broke loose recently, caused much excitement when they
reached the Chaudiere Falls at Ottawa. The falls took on quite an
old time appearance when over 2,000 of these logs came rushing down
the river. A dam would form below the Chaudiere Bridge and this
would be broken as a fresh lot of logs would strike down. The real
danger, however, was above the falls at the new dam, where the logs,
in getting through the narrow sluices, would pile up in dangerous
fashion. Only skilful and prompt work on the part of the men in
charge of the dam prevented the logs from forming a dam right across
the falls which would have resulted in flooding some of the E. B.
Eddy mills. The logs are owned by J. R. Booth and the Shepard &
Morse Lumber Company. A somewhat similar occurrence took
place about the same time on the Gatineau River where some thous-
ands of logs boomed at the Cascades broke adrift and swept down the
river piling up in a jam nearly 50 feet high at the government boom at
Gatineau point. A gang of men were put to work upon the boom
and managed to strengthen it so that it held until the water receded
from its high level and the danger was past.

Captain W. B. Bartram Joins 80th Battalion y

Captain W. B. Bartram, pre-
sident and manager of Bartram
Bros. Ltd., Ottawa, and director
and sales agent of the Devon
Lumber Company Ltd., Ottawa,
has accepted an appointment as
Captain in the 80th Overseas Bat-
talion, C. E. F. which has its
headquarters at Belleville, Ont.
It is expected that the Battalion
will be leaving for Overseas in
the very near future. Captain
Bartram is well known to the
lumber trade in Eastern Canada
and in the United States. He
has been identified continuously
for 25 years with the lumber
business, having worked through
all its branches in the woods, saw-
mill and planing mill, and made a
special study of conditions in con-
a with the export trade.

nder his management the busi- ;
ness of Bartram Bros. Ltd., has Captain WS ae
grown rapidly until it is one of the most important in Eastern Canada,

ore all the important centres of Quebec, Ontario, and the Eastern
tates.

During Captain Bartram’s absence the business will be carried o y
by Mr. Colin M. Bartram and Mr. E. M. Ball, both able and exper-

ienced lumbermen.

Details of Port Nelson Timber Shipments |

The quantities and varieties of timber, and their prices, which
have been used in connection with Port Nelson Harbor works by the
Dominion Government were reported in the House of Commons re
cently by Hon. Mr. Reid, in reply to a question. In connection with
the Port Nelson works 4,391,619 feet B. M. of long leaf yellow pine
wharf and heavy crib timber have been purchased from the United
States, also 168,018 feet B. M. of oak, hard pine and Oregon pine for
clam shell dredge hulls and spuds, nearly all of which was dressed
timber. The cost of the above was $109,395.80. The amount which
has already actually been put into the Port Nelson works is as fol-
lows :—long leaf pine 1,447,619 feet B. M. The quantity in stock at
Port Nelson is 2,163,000 feet. 761,000 feet B. M. was lost in a fire on
the steamship Alette, 20,000 feet B. M. was lost from a deck load in
transit. There has also been used for clam shell dredge hulls the full
amount of oak, etc., mentioned above. The portions of this timber
purchased in Toronto were secured through representatives of B. C.
lumber companies amounted to 1,245,160 feet B. M. of B. C. fir wharf
and crib timber, and 75,691 feet B. M. of B. C. fir in select dressed
scow timber. This stock was transported by steamer after the open-
ing of the Panama Canal. The Toronto orders also included 4 octag-
onal pieces 29 in. x 29 in. x 72 ft. long, dredge spuds; one piece
16 in. x 16 in. by 76 ft. long, dredge spuds; one piece 14 in. x 14 in. x
84 ft. long, derrick boom. .

In addition to the above Toronto orders, about 4,250,000 feet
B. M. of other Canadian native timber was purchased for building
construction, interior of cribs and other purposes for which it was —
suitable.

In reply to a question as to the total cost of timber landed at Port
Nelson the Minister said that separate costs for each commodity had
not been kept. In general, the average cost of transporting freight
of all kinds to Port Nelson was $56.65 per ton in 1913, $13.59 per ton —
in 1914 and $9.62 per ton in 1915. The direct lightering charge at
Port Nelson was $2.75 per ton in 1914 and $2.50 per ton in 1915. i

Pitprops for the United Kingdom

An inquiry has been addressed to the Department of Trade and
Commerce, Ottawa, from a British house of timber importers desiring
to get into touch with parties in Canada in a position to supply pit-
props. This firm, who have been large importers into all the principal
ports in the United Kingdom for the last fifty years, have hitherto been
getting their supplies from the Baltic but owing to the cutting off of
the customary sources of supply due to the war, a portion of their
orders has been filled in Newfoundland. It is stated that, provided
prices were right, almost unlimited quantities could be taken every
year, full cargoes at a time. The name and address of the firm making
the inquiry may be obtained on application to the Department of
Trade and Commerce, Ottawa. (Refer File No. A-976.)

- Rights on Ontario Rivers
fant Judgment in a Case Involving Regulation of

Should We Stop Recruiting in Ontario?

To the Britisher, to the Canadian, there is something repulsive
about the word “conscription.” Voluntary service has been so long
recognized throughout the British Empire as the ideal form of milit-
ary law that we do not take kindly to the thought of being compelled
to shoulder'arms. But in the face of what is happening in Canada,
if we look right at the facts we cannot but feel that there is much to
be said in favor of conscription.

What is the situation in Ontario? Recruiting has been carried on
to such an extent and in such a haphazard manner that our indus-
tries are crippled, production is at low ebb, labor for the factory is un-
obtainable, and contracts which rightly belong to us are going to the
United States. Ontario is suffering as the result of her activity in
recruiting, a statement which cannot be made of certain other provin-
ces of the Dominion. Conscription would remedy this inequality.

This war is a business and should be conducted in a businesslike
way. Have we not recruited beyond the requirements? If we have
not, why are battalions which were in camp at Niagara last year pre-
paring to return there this summer? The time necessary to train a
soldier is surely not a satisfactory answer—and all the time our indus-
tries crying for men.

. Sir Robert Borden offered to send 500,000 men if required, but it
would seem that the Minister of Militia’s call for the second 250,000
has not yet been justified.

If we are recruiting more men than are required, it means a loss
to the country and to the Empire. Every man’s time should, in this
crisis, be employed where it will be most effective.

The scarcity of labor is serious. The suggestion has been made
that women take the place of men in the banks and offices and other
business places, and that the men thus replaced who do not join the
colors go to the farms. Yet in the face of this situation we find the
Government appropriating $100,000 for a campaign in the daily news-
Papers to encourage increased production and thrift on the farm,
where the supply of labor is already totally inadequate. There are
grave economic problems before us. Can they be satisfactorily
worked out under the present system of recruiting? What are the
opinions of our readers?

St. John River Logs Well in Hand

A jam of logs which formed at Grand Falls an the St. John River,
N. B., broke on April 17th and the logs commenced to run freely. It
was then feared that.the St. John River Log Driving Company would
not be able to have their booms at Fredericton swung in time to catch
the logs coming down the river. Special efforts, however, were made,
and the Mitchell boom was closed on the morning of April 19th, thus
sealing the river and catching the logs. The Sugar Island boom was
closed the same afternon. Lumbermen estimate that the jam at
Grand Falls contained about 1,500,000 feet.

Reports received from Fredericton, N. B., under date of April
22nd state that all the drives on the Upper St. John River had then
started, and water conditions were favorable. About 50 million feet
will be driven from the Upper St. John this season for the boom at
lredericton. John A. Morrison, Fredericton, will drive about 12 mil-
lion feet this season. W. J. Noble will drive about 7 million feet. J.
Kilburn has about 6 million feet of old logs to come out. The first
bank logs arrived at Springhill on April 21. They were for Fraser
Ltd., having been contracted for previously. Present indications are
that the price of bank logs this year will be as high as last year, if not
somewhat higher.

The Partington Company’s drives on the Nashwaak River and the
Nappadoggan started on April 17th. | Between 12 million and 15 mil-
lion feet will be driven on these streams this season.

On the Oromocto River the drives came along rapidly and were
ali out about April 17th. About 6 million feet will be driven on the
Oromocto and other streams in Sunbury County this season.

Drivers are being paid higher wages than a year ago, owing to the
scarcity of men. Last season the wages ranged from $2.25 to $2.50.
This year the men are receiving from $2.50 to $3 per day, and in some
cases even more.

Infomation which we received from private sources on the Mira-
michi River in New Brunswick about the 22nd of April was to the
effect that the outlook for stream driving operations was not very en-
couraging at that time.

Three Quebec lumber contractors from the eastern townships
were recently found guilty, at Concord, N. H., in the Federal Court, of
violating the Alien Contract Labor Law by taking men from Canada
to the State of New Hampshire to work in lumber camps there. One
man was fined $100 and costs, the second man $1,000 and costs and the
third man $500 and costs. Twenty-two other Canadians who had been
detained as witnesses were ordered to be deported.

You all remember how business was, or rather wasn’t, in the
spring of 1915. Everyone was very much more interested in the
war, and when it was going to end, than they were in building; no one
seemed to have any money and the lumber business absolutely ceased.
Our company had a lot of perfectly good lumber yards, well managed,
and the only criticism we had of them was that they were not selling
anything, and when business dropped off with us to a point where we
were confronted with the proposition of either selling lumber or turn-
ing our yards over to the local cemetery associations for burial, we
decided to try the startling and revolutionary idea of spending more
money for advertising. In other words, go on the novel theory that
a lumber yard was a mercantile establishment, and what was good for
the dry goods, grocery, automobile and even the saloon business
couldn’t hurt a lumber yard very much. So as an experiment at two
of our most defunct points we put in a complete stock of serviceable
but low priced lumber, and then commenced to write ads. This was
something new to us. Don’t misunderstand me—we thought we
had written advertisements before—lots of them. They usually
consisted of a space about three inches high and four wide, containing
such classic and standard phrases as “Let us figure your bill,” “Head-
quarters for all kinds of building material,’ “Best lumber for least
money,” and the rest of the phrases that precedent had taught us were
the real and regular stuff in lumber yards advertising and that any-
thing else was socialistic. *.Then, too, I was once in the wholesale
business and advertised then. When they asked for the copy we
wanted run, I just gave them a letter head and told them to run that ;
consequently we advertised very extensively who the officers of the
company were, our capitalization, and a lot of other facts of no interest
in the world to anyone but ourselves. I mention all these things to
show that we knew a lot about advertising, but this time we changed
our methods somewhat, and instead of seeing how small a space we
could get out on, we endeavored to get as much space as we could and
still leave the editor room for letters from his country correspondents.
We took pages and half pages and told people in big black-faced type
an inch high that could be read across the,street that we had certain
items of lumber which we would sell them at certain prices, and sug-
gested in these advertisements uses to which this material could be
put. In other words, we were trying for a chance, merchandizing
instead of “running a lumber yard.” And I verily believe that if we
hadn’t done this advertising at our yards at that time we would not
have sold enough to pay salaries, as nearly 90 per cent. of the goods
we sold were the heavily advertised items. We have introduced this
heavy advertising at all our yards, and it has shown us results at
every point right from the jump; not weeks after or months after, but
as soon as the papers containing the ads were out. I'am not going
to give you a lot of dry figures as to what advertising has done at cer-
tain yards, because statistics are very uninteresting things, and then,
too, that would be telling; but when I say that some of our yards
have shown an increase in sales of as much as $20,000 a year from $600
per year spent in advertising, and have shown profits in line with the
increased sales, I believe I am saying something that is interesting,
and that we got results. It is about the most fascinating business
proposition I ever had anything to do with to advertise certain items
of lumber, say, on Monday, and on Tuesday see on your sales sheets
where they are hauling those advertised items out of the yard. I be-
lieve that one reason why this advertising has been so effective is that
it has been a step in the direction—just a short step—of dispelling
somewhat the cloud of mystery which to the average consumer sur-
rounds the purchase of a bill of lumber, because it offers him a de-
finite article at a definite price. A banker and merchant, a man of
affairs in a small town, told me a few weeks ago that he never had
bought a bill of lumber in his life that he didn’t feel he had been
skinned in the transaction somewhere because he couldn't check up
the deal. A farmer drives in your yard and tells you he wants: 12
pieces of 1x12—16 boxing, 12 pieces OG batterns, eight, scantling 20
feet, five pieces lathing 12 feet, and about 15 pounds of nails. You
ask him what grade he wants (instead of finding out for what pur-
pose he wants the stuff and then you telling him what he ought to
have). You load his wagon; he asks you how much it is. You say,
“Wait a minute; I’ve got to figure this.” Then you get a big piece of
paper, and pencil and to him make a lot of mysterious figures for
awhile then go back over the figures and finally tell him he owes you
$12.80. As he is paying the money, Mr. Customer wants to show
some interest in the trade so he asks what you charged him for the
boxing and you say $32.50 per thousand. He doesn’t realize or think
that he only got 192 feet of boxing that cost him $6.25, but that $32.50
a thouasnd sticks in his mind and he tells you how he remembers

when he was a boy that “Paw got better lumber than that at the m
for $12, and that lumber sure is higher.” The only part of it
remembers is that thirty-two fifty and when his neighbor comes ¢
to see what he is building, he asks “What did you have to pay for #
lumber?” he tells him $32.50, and friend Neighbor thinks to h
self, “I can’t afford to do any building; lumber is too high.” Th
pounds of nails is the only item where he is sure he got what he
for, as he saw you put 15 pounds on the scales and he can figure
15 pounds of nails at a nickle a pound is 75 cents. Wouldn’t the
age lumberman feel rather confused if he went in to buy a cow
collars and on asking the price was told that collars were $1
gross? He would have to figure what part of a gross he bou
else trust that the clerk was figuring correctly. It’s much m
to be told they are two for a quarter, and I believe that
lumber is going to be sold by the piece, and when a man

him 52 cents each, and if he puts ten on his wagon, he knows
as you do that he owes you $5.20, Here is a price list gotten
a very active lumber mail order house. Do they say this D
will cost so much per thousand? No, you bet they don’t. They sa
that a 2x4—18 No. 1 will cost 34 cents each, a number two 31 cent
and 6x6—12 96 cents each, and so on right down the line. And w
the consumer sees those prices he feels more at home because
pie tk he can check the transaction as well as the man he is buyin

But to get back to my subject: Retail lumber yard advert
to get results should be based on the theory that there are on de
in the banks thousands of idle dollars and the+advertising if prope
handled will put a lot of them into improvements. A man living

friend’s house on Sunday afternoon, and when he was showing you

A great many of you gentlemen, mostly the manufacturers, have
automobiles. Do you think you would have bought your car if the
automobile people had waited until you found you had to have one
and then courteously waited until you got good and ready and askee
each dealer for a bid, and then bought it where it was cheapest? Yet
that is the way lumber is sold. How many houses in your town have
been built as a result of salesmanship or where the lumber dealer hac
anything to do with encouraging the owner to build it? Alone in his
solitude the prospective builder is allowed to ponder on his ideas, no
lumber salesman being impolite enough to hurry him, until finally he
decides that it is no use waiting any longer, that his family has out-
grown the old place and a new one is necessary. I sometimes wonder
where the lumber business would be without nature. Nature grows

We started the campaign again with renewed vigor and almost
stantly we could see increased sales. Really, it looks like some
of magic, and another thing—it is not your competitor’s business y

my opinion, money thrown away. ; ona
In conclusion I want to say that I know from experience that
lumberman who is willing to invest a few hundred dollars in pri
ink in any kind of well thought out advertising, shove out his mor

designs which all live wire dealers have for free distribution, and to
study it carefully till a selection can be made. The plans which ae-
company these books are usually along fairly good architectural lines
and many of them are as good as any one would want. One of the
finest homes I have ever been in was built from plans selected from one
ef these books and specifications filled in by the lumber dealer on
stereotyped blanks. In truth, many of the designs given are copies
of houses actually built and in use, so that there is no guesswork about
the correctness of the drawings or the appearance of the buildings
when completed. There are so many different systems of this kind
for the dealer to select from that there is really no excuse for being
without at least one, and more would be better according to the extent
of his business. Some dealers charge for the plans and make a profit
on them. Some prefer to use them as an advertising stunt and pre-
sent the plans as an inducement to buying the material. These things
must be worked out according to local conditions and to the ideas of
the dealer.

There are several methods of buying plan- work, differing accord-
ing to the ability and the aggressiveness of the dealer. The best w ay
but doubtless the one requiring the most work is for the buyer to take
from the plans a list of the material he wants to buy and submit several
copies to millwork houses for estimate. In making up these lists he
should omit such items as he has in stock and should accompany each
list with details and descriptions complete enough to give a thorough
understanding of what is wanted. If there are any items which can be
changed to conform to the stock of the house to which the inquiry goes,
such possibilities should be noted so that each list will be particularly
suited to the firm to which it is sent. This would of course make the
lists differ somewhat from each other but when the material is finally
received there will not be difference enough to amount to anything and
the saving in dollars and cents will more than pay for thé extra work.

The other way, and by far the most popular, is to send the plans
to a millwork house and let the man there do the work. [In this case
the wholesale estimator either makes up a blanket bid covering the
general items he wishes to furnish, or he makes a detailed list which is
more or less complete and which is the extent of his responsibility at
the price named. When blanket bids are made the estimator usually
adds 10 or 15 percent to cover omissions and errors, and in the case of
detailed lists it is very necessary for the buyers to check same very
carefully to be sure that everything is included. In either case the
number of estimates that can be obtained is evidently limited to the
number of plans that are available and it is hardly possible for the
dealer to omit material that he has in stock. Mistakes and misunder-
standings occur that are hard to erase, and the dealer gets disgusted

. with the millwork end of his business and is indifferent when the mail-

order houses begin to work inroads in his trade. Sending plans away
for estimate is certainly the easiest way to handle plan-work but it is
far the most expensive and quite likely to be unsatisfactory. There
may be large and particular jobs where it might possibly seem to be
the best way on account of the necessity of following the details
closely, but even at that, details are easily traced and specifications are
easily copied, so that in my experience | have never found a case where
I did not think it worth while to make my own lists.

One thing I must suggest in connection with the above is that
while plans are undoubtedly made to be followed and severe changes in
them tend to destroy much of their usefulness, yet slight changes in
details to allow the use of stock designs of moldings, etc. can not work
any harm whatever to the owner and may possibly give him the
gieater value than to conform absolutely to the details as indicated by
the architect. For example, I have been required to figure special
veneered doors on account of a certain little quirk or cove in the stick-
ing which if changed by the merest trifle would have permitted the
use of a stock door. And seasoned stock doors are always better than
special order doors that have not been in existence long enough for any
one to know what they are going to do when hung. ‘Oh, I know that
idea is directly contrary to what most of you have fondly believed for
years, and that most architects and contractors pass out the idea that a
‘veneered door must be made to order to be any good, but if you think
about it reasonably a little you will know better.

We all have our ideas about architects and we also know that the
profession includes the good, bad and indifferent. Many of our old
stock designs are patterned aiter the Greek and Roman styles of archi-
tecture and if properly and consistently used are as suitable today as
they ever were. The condemning by architects of stock moldings,

cap trim, collonades, door sticking, etc., just because they are stock
designs, should be discouraged as well as the indiscriminate jumbling
together of various styles of architecture by others.

In concluding let me drive home the thought that any community
that has the plan. habit in its building will build better, more attract-
ively, more harmoniously and with jess expense or friction than the
community that has the cut and try habit and builds by the guesswork
of its jack-knife carpenters. And it is the duty and to the ‘advantage
of the local lumber dealer to encourage the use of plans in ev te pos-

~ sible way—American Lumberman.

"SS ee

Conditions Which Restrict Its Use—Market for Dressed Lumber, an

Sash and Doors, Mouldings, Handles, Etc.”
By H. R. MacMillan

The three important classes of dressed lumber imported are floor-
ing, ceiling and shelving.

Flooring

Throughout the country in all classes of buildings Scandinavian
flooring is used, about one-third from Norway and two-thirds from
Sweden. It is imported ready manufactured in one grade, known as
colonial firsts, which is really a mixture of first, seconds and thirds, in
two important sizes, 6-inch by 7-inch and 6-inch by 1%-inch. Small
quantities of 4-inch and 4%4-inch widths in the above thickness are
also imported. The usual lengths are 6 feet and up odd and even
lengths to 24 feet. All flooring is planed, tongued and grooved; the
machine work is excellent. All Scandinavian flooring is full of hard
black tight knots 14-inch to 1%4-inch in diameter. The flooring when
laid is usually covered with linoleum or carpet.

The price of Scandinavian flooring in normal times is $32 to $34
per thousand feet board measure, when sold wholesale in large quantt-
ties at a South African port. It is imported at $29 to $31 cif.

Eastern Canadian manufacturers should in normal times be able
to compete with these prices, particularly as flooring is dutiable, and
they have the advantage of a 3 per cent. preference. The flooring does
not consist of carefully selected lumber, but is simply sound redwood
(Pinus sylvestris) free from checks or loose knots, run through a
flooring machine and well manufactured.

Douglas Fir for Flooring

Douglas fir flooring has been extensively used in South Africa
in schools, halls, Government buildings and to a certain extent in
better class residences. So far as wear is concerned edge grain
flooring gave excellent satisfaction. Several serious cases of dry
rot occurring in Government buildings have led to an embargo being
placed against its use by certain public works engineers in important
districts. This is unfortunate as the Government was by far the most
important purchaser and their action will influence others. Architects
now hesitate to recommend it for dwellings because of dry rot. A
representative case of dry rot in Douglas fir flooring occurred in the
new Government Museum, Pretoria. The flooring used was edge-
grain 41-inch by 1%-inch Douglas fir. It was laid on a cement found-
ation with an air space under the floor. It cost when laid $14.40 per
100 square feet. Within one year 2,000 lineal feet had to be removed
because of dry rot.. The remainder was given two coats of carbolineum
and after three years now appears sound.

The flooring is evidently affected by dry rot when shipped in the
same cargo with wet timbers. Unless some means can be discovered
of preventing dry rot the market for Douglas fir flooring is likely to
be small in the future. On the other hand, the market will be excellent
if it can be demonstrated that dry rot is overcome.

Attempts have been made to manufacture Douglas fir flooring
in South Africa by re-sawing and machining selected merchantable
deals and timbers. Flooring so manufactured has not been as well
manufactured as the imported and has contained 20 per cent. or more
flat-grained boards. Flooring domestically manufactured will not
compete with the imported.

The Public Works Department estimates 44-inch by 1%-inch
Douglas fir flooring to cost when laid $14.40 per 100 square feet, and
4-inch by 1%-inch Scandinavian flooring to cost $12 per square. The
Scandinavian floor is full of knots.

Teak and other hardwood floors are used in very costly residences.

Swedish flooring is extensively used by the Railway, Department
in lining freight cars.

Ceilings

Nearly all ceilings in South Africa are varnished wood, even in
plaster finished houses. There are very few pressed steel, plaster
or other ceilings. The standard ceilings are Scandinavian colonial
firsts, Baltic redwood, planed, tongued, grooved and double beaded,
6-inch by %-inch, with a very small proportion of 4-inch by %-inch.
No “V” joint ceiling is imported. Scandinavian ceiling is made from

‘the same class of timber as Scandinavian flooring and costs c.i.f. about
$2 more per thousand feet board measure.
’ Whereas for Government buildings and better class residences

there was a demand for Douglas fir flooring, there has never been a-

good demand for Douglas fir ceiling. It has always retailed about
2 cents per foot superficial more than Scandinavian ceiling and the
price has killed it. Douglas fir ceiling shipments have also suffered
severaly from dry rot.

The Public Works Department estimate that 5g-inch by 4-inch

for shop fittings, household carpentry, shelving or coffins. The di

Douglas fir ceiling costs them $9.60 per square when in place, as on 1-
pared with $8.40 for Scandinavian. i
Eastern Canadian manufacturers should be able to compete i
South Africa with ceiling as well as with flooring. -
Shelving fi

The shelving trade in South Africa is apart from the lumb
business. Shelving is the general name given to l-inch by 12-4
to 16-inch by 12 feet to 16 feet dréssed boards, number one or ty
preferably white pine, but sometimes spruce, Western balsam
larch, Russian yellow pine, or Douglas fir, carried in stock thro
out the country by general merchants and hardware dealers and ~

is for a wood that is free from checks or loose knots, is smooth,
work, will hold paint and not split easily. The shelving import
the interior is rough to save freight charges, the remainder is dre
to 7-inch. ;
It is a curious development of the trade that lumber for carp
work may be bought more easily in the South African town th:
the Canadian town. In South Africa a small stock of shelving is
ried by every hardware store, along with nails, paint and other wood-
working materials. This undoubtedly leads to an increased use of
this class of lumber. ‘s
Quebec pine formerly held this trade, but has in late years be-
come too high in price. Western white pine is now the chief shelving
lumber imported. Wi ae
The greater part of the shelving imported is purchased by com-
mission houses in South Africa who forward their inquiries to New
York buying agents. A list of these buying agents is in the ha
of the Commissioner of Commerce. Small quantities are purchased
with lumber cargoes shipped from the Pacific coast. The purchases
made through New York are shipped overland by rail from as far west
as Idaho and British Columbia and forwarded to South Afriea by liner.
Shelving an Important Trade
The trade is an important one. Several wholesale hardware firms
handle 5,000 boards a month and many bulders and general merchan
import in carload lots. The prices for Western white pine shelvi
have been $22 per thousand f.o.b. mill and $38 per thousand feet f.o.b.
New York. =
The bulk of the importing for this trade is now in the hands of
the American commission houses mentioned. Many South African —
dealers would buy from Canadian shippers and benefit by the prefer-
ential duty if they could get in touch with Canadian exporters who
could be relied upon to send forward a satisfactory article. There is
an opportunity hére for Montreal or Vancouver lumber brokers. Lists
of reliable shelving importers may be secured from the Canadian
Trade Commissioner at Cape Town. Western yellow pine and spruce
will both be found suitable for shelving. D
An energetic Canadian brokerage firm taking this business up
should be able to secure a large proportion of the trade, shipping
Quebec pine when cheap enough to Montreal or New York, and West-
ern white pine, Western yellow pine or spruce by rail to Montreal,
Vancouver or New York. The American commission offices handling —
this as a side line with other trades have branch offices in South
Africa. Other American houses having no branches in South Africa
send a representative out at intervals of two years or so to keep the
trade alive. : Wig Hee i.” 2 ie
With, the shelving trade could be handled a trade in clears and
interior finish. ee

Other Woods Imported . a

Fairly large quantities of clear white pine, sugar pine, Western
larch, redwood, Siberian yellow pine are consumed in South Africa’
yearly. The chief uses are for pattern making, shop fittings, cabinet
work and joinery. The very best qualities obtainable are desired,
and the c.if. prices vary from $52.50 per thousand feet cif. on a 60
shilling freight rate for Western larch, which is the cheapest clear
lumber imported, to $110 per thousand c.i.f. for clear white and st
pine. The sizes usually purchased are l-inch, 14-inch, 2-inch, 3-inel
by 12-inch to 18-inch by 18 feet to 24 feet. sae

It has been found recently that perfectly clear white pine, resembl.
ing Quebec white pine, but a little yellower in color and shorter it

4 Interior Trim

has sent forward many trade inquiries and no business has resulted.
There is an opening for an excellent export trade. The market avail-
able is the $409,000 now done each year with foreign countries, and
the $400,000 now done by South African manufacturers who are work-
ing under the handicap of small factories and imported timber. The
fruit and manufacturing industries of South Africa are developing
rapidly, especially the former, and the demand for boxes will inevit-
ably rapidly increase. There is no prospect that local wood will be
suitable for anything but low grade boxes for many years. A well-
organized factory in Eastern Canada properly located with reference
to raw material and shipping facilities could do a big business in
South Africa.

A large proportion of the box supply for South Africa is purchased
by two London companies whose names may be secured from the
Commissioner of Commerce.

Any company willing to export shooks to South Africa should,
when communicating with agents or importers, send sample shooks
to show the character of wood used and quality of manufacture.

It is possible that arrangements could be made to ship boxes from
British Columbia with lumber cargoes. If this can be done orders
can readily be secured. Such methods of shipments would suit the
fruit industry, for which all the boxes are desired in September to
November of each year and can be taken in one shipment. A trial
shipment of apple boxes has been made from the Pacific coast and
found satisfactory.

Inquiries and specifications for fruit boxes have been sent for-
ward at different times (refer Trade Inquiry No. 65). Western manu-
facturers desirous of quoting on these for delivery fall of 1916 should
secure them, together with a list of importers, from the Commissioner
of Commerce. s

Sashes and Doors

The imports given under houses and frames refer almost ex-
clusively to sash and doors. The imports during 1914 and the coun-
tries of origin are given below :—

‘lhe importations under this head have grown greatly from $29,095
in 1909, but have remained fairly constant in the past three years.
The United States has held the lead for several years. The ship-
ments credited to Great Britain represent re-exports.

The major part of the imports consists of doors. The sash, which
were formerly imported, are now manufactured in the country, mostly
from fourth grade Scandinavian deals, though small quantities for
better houses are made from Siberian white pine or teak. Nearly
all the doors used are imported. The only exceptions are the doors
for costly private residences and public buildings, nearly all of which
are manufactured in South Africa from teak and cost $1.75 to $2.50
per superficial square foot. The manufacture of Siberian pine doors
in South Africa may be expected.

The Swedish doors are all manufactured with glued two-piece
panels, which split. A one-piece panel is necessary to meet the re-
quirements of the South African trade.

Sizes and Prices

The doors imported from the United States are white pine. The
greater proportion of the doors imported are four-panel DM third
grade. The chief sizes and prices are :—

These prices ruled in September, 1915, and are subject to a dis-
count of 15 per cent. with a further discount of 2% per cent. for cash.
The door business is important in South Africa and will continue to
be so. The doors imported from the United States come from New
York and Michigan and are probably made from Canadian pine. It
should be possible to make them in Canada.

Douglas fir doors have not been tried in South Africa excepting

_— ee

a few made by local joiners, which have given good satisfaction.
Those shown to the architects attracted faborable attention. The
three-ply door is best adapted to the climate and is better manu-
factured than any door in use in the country. There is a market for
a better looking door than Swedish that will sell for less than teak
or mahogany. The three-ply Douglas fir doors fill those requirements,
If arrangements were made with lumber dealers to carry small stocks
in each city business would result. It is, quite likely that the pur-
chasers would paint Douglas fir doors, as except on teak and mahog-
any no natural finish is used. For this reason a cheap door might
succeed better in the South African market than the clear door. Both
should be tried.
Handles

The great mining industry of South Africa, the use of the hoe as
the universal agricultural implement by the natives and the extensive
public works have resulted in a large import trade in handles.
~The demand has been for hickory, but as hickory is becoming
increasingly difficult to get, maple is being accepted in small but
increasing quantities for pick and hoe handles, the two most 1m-
‘portant lines. ;

: Handles are imported in crated cases of 10 dozen. ~Many sizes
are used, which may be obtained with wholesale prices from the
Commissioner of Commerce. ;

Prices of Handles

The ruling price for hoe handles 54-inch by 2-inch is 85 cents
per dozen f.o.b. steamer New York, less 2 per cent. Pick handles,
“A” quality hickory, are purchased at $2.05 per dozen f.o.b. New
York, less 50 per cent. discount. Drill hammer handles, hickory,
cost f.0.b. New York, for 1%4-inch by 1-inch, 24-inch long, $1.60 per
dozen, 1!4-inch by 1-inch, 36-inch long, $3.53 per dozen, less 75 per
cent. and 5 per cent. discount.

Handles are now being made in South Africa from native woods.
‘The further use of native and planted woods may be expected to
cause a decrease in importations.

Handles for this market must be well manufactured.

Staves
_ The staves used in South Africa are chiefly oak, imported from
the United States for the liquor trade and do not offer a hopeful pros-
pect for Canadian manufacturers. Staves and empty casks are im-
ported to the value of about $18,120 yearly.
Shingles
Shingle roofs are very uncommon in South Africa. The only
shingles used have been a few mine buildings, explosive works, a few
of the better class houses and bungalows and a few seaside bungalows.
Galvanized iron is used for the reason that it can be laid quickly
with the labor available, and is cheaper. On the Rand, the most
populous centre in the Union, in normal times American cedar shingles

6 to 2, 18-inch, sell at 12s. 6d. ($3) per bundle. Galvanized iron sells _

at $67.20 per ton. The cost of a galvanized iron roof laid is $18 per
square, including the rafters.and plates. The cost of laying gal-
vanized iron is $2.40 per square.
owing to the more expensive roof framing required, is $24 per square.
The galvanized roof, if painted every two or three years with cheap
red oxide, will last twenty years. The shingle roof to last twenty
years must be painted regularly; the cost of painting shingles is
greater than is the case with iron.

Tenders were called in Johannesburg recently for the construc-
tion of ten cottages each with sixteen squares of roof. The prices
submitted for shingle roofs were $250 per cottage higher than for
galvanized iron roof.

Shingle roofs were seen in Johnnesburg that were in excellent
condition after eighteen years’ service.

Because. of the price, shingles have been used only for the best
private residences. Tiles are now competing with shingles on this
class of building. Excellent tiles are now made in South Africa, and
a tile roof finished in Johannesburg costs $21 per square, as compared
with shingles at $24. The tiles themselves cost $8.40 per square
delivered on the job.

That shingles have given eighteen years’ satisfactory service in
the South African climate is a proof that they will stand any climate.
This indication of durability is the only valuablé feature of the shingle
business in South Africa.

General Summary
.

There is a constant market in South Africa for three of th
portant forest products of Eastern, Canada, red deals, box sl
and doors. The raw material for these manufactures is
Canada than in either the United States or Sweden, the
tries at present doing the bulk of the trade. It is only a_
of organizing the manufacture on a competitive basis and see
business.

on of Retailer and Salesman

Co-operation—How It Works Out
By J. C. Proctor

e relation of the retail lumberman to the wholesale lumber
g man is a broad or narrow subject, as the one trying to dis-
make it. \ ,

e retail lumberman, it would seem, is in a position to become,
ald become, better acquainted with the salesmen in his line of
han the retail dealers in other lines do with the salesmen in
s. The nature of the lumber business throughout makes it
or less active throughout the year. This causes buying at all
f the year, bringing buyer and seller together often. With
number of yards in a town the salesman has, as-a usual
of time at each yard. And if the dealer is not pressed

to stand well in the salesman’s opinion. And the
nowadays stand well in the retailer’s, for the help that
either to give is not always given promiscuously.

why.

the ones where he uses his best price. Possibly to those he quotes
the higher prices he does not care very much to sell. Whether or
not this may be so, the right relationship can hardly mean anything
but his best price to all, other considerations being equal. This dif-
ferent price to different people on the same article probably exists in
all kinds of business. It suits the one getting the low price, and can-
not suit the one getting the other end of it.

The salesman may not be at fault on these differences in price;
possibly his firm has had trouble in settlements, disputes over short-
age or undergrade that may justify them in wishing to fight shy of
the buisness or to take it only at a large profit. Trade-marking of
lumber that has taken a start should be a matter of a great deal of in-
terest to both retailer and salesman. It looks as if it would soon come
into very general use. The mills that will go into it are the ones that
must be taking particular pride in their timber, millwork, or methods
of drying. Maybe in all of these points or in some of them at least,
the trade-marked lumber should be an article that can be depended
upon to run uniform all the time and something that repeat orders
will bring dependable grade on always. Once started in handling
and pushing a trade-marked article, the retailers would know better
than they now do, the different grades in their yards. As it has been
the retailer has been trying to get the best in the grade he wanted, but
a No. 1 piece of dimension or a No. 2 board covers a multitude of sins
often, and sometimes many points of quality.

He Doesn’t Remember When He Should

On a rising market, or in a hurry at times to replace suddenly de-
pleted piles, does the retailer always remember where he received the
best grade, and does he not often still think that a No. 1 is a No. 1 no
matter where it comes from, until the car gets in, and then he remem-
hers too late? What he gets may be a grading-book No. 1, but far
short of what he could have received if more care had been used in
buying. With the quality part fixed in his mind, by the hammering
of trade-marked lumber by the salesman and getting to know that it
means something, the old grading rules will not bother him so much.
He will, if he keeps it up soon, have a stock that he will be proud of,
and the salesman will feel that he is selling something else than just
lumber.

The red cedar shingle people, oak and maple flooring firms have
been doing it fora long time. The yellow pine people—Cady, Kirby,
Bogalusa, the Arkansas Soft Pine bunch and others—are already at it,
as well as the cypress people. Doesn’t this look as if it were going
the old grades several better and would give both retailer and sales-
mian something much more satisfactory to buy and to sell than the
old way?

The retailer buys primarily from the salesman or firm that has
shown him that he can rely on getting the grade’and service he wants,
but isn’t it true that there are many firms that differ but little in these
points? The one that gets the most business from a certain territory
is the one that has been either wise or fortunate enough to have the
tight sort of representative there—a man who is certain of all facts
that will lead to prompt shipment and proper care of all orders; one
who knows from personal experience gained through either working
at the mills or from frequent visits there, all of the grades his mill gets
out; how one grade may be exceptionally good and others not so bad;
how the lumber is milled, and how it is dried—in fact everything that
should be known by both salesman and retailer.

Shouldn’t Abandon the Order to the Office

Salesmen should not let the office tend to the order entirely after
it is once written up; but the interest shown in keeping after the ord-
ers until they are shipped, and in wanting to see the material after it
is in the yard, and taking pride in a good lot or admitting a fault when
one exists—it would seem should help in gaining confidence in the
salesman and his house. A salesman who takes interest in stock
other than his own, praising a good grade another firm has shipped or
showing a fault in another lot, surely cannot hurt his house or him-
self. Doesn’t he leave the feeling that he is on to his work all the

‘time and does not lose interest in the retailer and his order as soon as

the order-book is closed, and that he is interested in the order from the
time it is written until it is delivered, and in knowing that his mill
has shipped what is right? Undoubtedly practically all of the sales-
men know about the products of their mills and how the business is
handled, but too few speak out about it.

Prior sales are often a cause of misunderstandings. It looks as if
they should be regarded simply as a bet between dealers, as to whose
order will reach the office first. But does the dealer always look at
them in this light. The day or two that goes by before he learns
whether his order has been accepted may have afforded him a chance
to have made a like purchase without the string of a prior sale at-
tached. It is not the fault of the house or the salesman that has made
the sale that he has lost his bet, and he should accept the result with
good grace.

Complaint as to undergrade stock is also a stumbling block on the
road along which pleasant relationship travels. Undergrade in some

36 lg CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

items often gives the dealer something his market does not use. To
move it, a much lower price than the sales-office can understand is
justifiably made. With extra work in sorting amounts up, as well as
counting all fair costs and the necessary cut in price to move the ma-
terial, doesn’t it look as if this were the fair basis for all settlements?
These things could be fixed up every time so that no ill-feeling could
result to either side if reasonablesness is used by both. And this ill-
feeling profits neither at almost any financial gain. There are many
ways and many instances in which the salesman can make money for
the retailer, and courtesy and fair treatment on the part of one will
not only be returned in like measure but will often result in good to
both parties. All personalities are not made to work together and
misunderstandings will result at times. All salesmen do not appeal
equally to all of the retailers nor do all retailers appeal alike to all of
the salesmen. A fair average is all any one may expect, and the
higher the average of all concerned the more pleasant will this rela-
tionship be.

Assets of a Successful Retailer
By J. C. Dionne

The old time dealer had only two assets—a stock of building ma-
terial, and a knowledge regarding that stock. To the successful re-
tail lumberman of the future, those two assets will be considered of
nothing more than secondary importance—rather than all important.

First—your yard. Is it a good advertisement for a professional
builder? Is it well painted, in good order, and does it reflect well upon
the material from which it is built? If it isn’t, make it so.

You wouldn’t buy hair restorer from a bald headed barber, would
you? Then why should a prospective builder accept advice from a
building material man who doesn’t use it himself?

How about your office? Is it a place in which you are proud to
bring a lady who wants a home, and wants to look over your plans,
pictures, and suggestions for home building? Then make it so.

Is there anything in your office to catch the eye of the building
prospect when he or she enters, and to create an idea at once of an
attractive home? Does your office bring the thought of a home, like
the interior of an automobile store brings the idea of an auto? Then
make it so.

How about the house you live in? Is it an inspiration to your
fellow townsmen to have better looking homes? Then make it so.
This does not mean that every retail lumberman should live in a man-
sion. Far from it. | But see that your house is well and tastily
painted, that there is a look of neatness and freshness about your
place—even thought it is a $1,500 bungalow. That speaks well for
your taste as a building expert.

Have you in your equipment a hundred or more pictures, plans,
etc., of attractive homes, so that you can furnish the incentive to the
eye of the man or woman who is considering’ home building? Then
equip. yourself.

How about your advertising? Do you run a card in your local
paper now and then calling attention to the fact that you are head-
quarters for building material, and ““When in the market let us figure
with you?” If so—change your system quick. You must advertise,
but what you are doing is not advertising. Or do you run a picture
of your yard and declare it has splendid facilities? If you do, cancel
the contract and save your money. You are throwing it away. You
must advertise—but that means use brains, energy, and money. Ad-
vertise something specific. A bungalow—showing the price you will
sell the material including the plans for; a barn, showing the same
thing; or a garage, or a shed, or a sleeping porch, or any one of a
score of things that your trade may be interested in. Advertise
something specific and put a price on it, and keep on advertising, and
don’t be surprised if the local newspaper man has nerve enough to
charge you for the space. Pay the bill and keep on advertising, and
you will find in the end that you have made a good investment, and
that the returns:are manifold and real.

Do you keep closely in touch with your trade? Do you force
them to know what you have to sell, and what you have to offer them
specially? Have you the good will of your townspeople? Have you
their respect as a building specialist? Are you working for the de-
velopment of your community? Are you working to improve your
salesmanship? Do they look on you as a live merchant?

Then get busy and achieve all these things and you will find en-
joyment and profit both in watching your returns come in.

Are youa dreamer? Then be one. Use your imagination. Let
it work full time. Don’t try to put brakes on it. Don’t be ashamed
to dream.
who was not a dreamer.

Dream that your town and community is the most beautiful in
this broad land—then work to make it so. Imagine how it ought to
look; how each building might be, study how that result could be
brought about; get busy and make your dream come true.

Take the houses in your town, the stores, the barns, the fences

and consider their building possibilities. _

Don’t wait for the people of your town and district to decide th:

Mature it. Sell them the material. Furnish them the plans.

It doesn’t take even a full witted man to be able to sell lum

something, and then you will be creating something. Use yo

needs of your customers. When you do that you'll never nee
bother about competition. There will be none.

Railways Building Many Cars in U. s.

_ The shortage of freight cars, due partially to the freight embargo
in the eastern states, has caused a rush of carbuilding, with the pt
chase of enormous quantities of lumber for use in the new ro
stock. The American Car and Foundry company, for instance, has
closed contracts for 2,500,000 feet of Douglas fir for 500 automobile

out eight or ten years ago willow had not won a separate
the lumber markets, being sold almost entirely as cotton-
as it does in the form of lumber chiefly from the cotton-
icing districts. Its first introduction in the North, was an
and these first shipments brought only $10 to $12. At the
e the price is about $16 a thousand, mill run, and clear lum-
niture purposes brings $24 to $25.

‘select logs of cottonwood will run 40 per cent. firsts and
5, the average for that wood is about 18 per cent. The black
he southern Mississippi Valley runs more evenly, as its aver-
s grade is 20 per_cent. and select logs produce 30 per cent.

e chief production of lumber is from the black willow of the
dicated. There are, however, several other varieties of wil-
to the U. S. and one or two have been introduced from

trade willow lumber is used mostly‘in the North for furni-
rs and backing, while the poorer grades of willow are used

that willow was once used for many purposes from

which it was crowded out by the greater supply and the then relatively

_low cost of basswood, poplar and cottonwood. At the present time
willow is back on the market at a lower price than these woods and bids
fair again to gain favor.

Willow is a wood which may be dented and bruised without
splintering and, as is well known, has been used to some extent along
with ash in the manufacture of baseball bats. It is also suitable for
boat building, for oars and paddles, the wooden parts of water wheels,
etc., as well as for barrel bottoms. It is especially desirable for cut-
ting boards and tables on account of its spongy softness. The wood
is not warped or split by intense heat and is therefore suitable for
ironing boards and for wheelbarrow bodies, for handling hot material
such as ashes or for work around hot furnaces. With other softwoods
it is a favorite for the manufacture of wooden toys and novelties, espe-
cially those which are not to be finished in white. It is also used to
some extent for select cooperage, chiefly in the vicinity of North New
Orleans, the No. 1 cooperage being used for sugar rice and asphalt and
No. 2 for oysters, garden truck and vegetables. It is also used to
considerable extent for the manufacture of excelsior at southern points,
being confined, however, to the medium and coarse grades, the wood
not being suitable for the finest comb, or wood wool. Willow excel-
sior is very largely used in mixture, of course, must be peeled and the
trees are therefore largely cttt in the growing season when the bark

-may be easily stripped.

The charcoal used for manufacturing certain kinds of gunpowder
is willow charcoal, which produces a very pure carbon. The native
willow has been largely cut out near such powder mills and they are
going farther for the product and also inducing nearby farmers to set
out willow plantations.

For paper making willow produces a rather short fibered pulp
hut this booklet states that it would be very useful for mixing with the
longer pulp of longleaf pine.

One of the most important uses for willow is in the manufacture

- of artificial limbs, a large number of orders for export have been se-

cured by American manufacturers as a result of the European war.
The modern artificial limb as distinguished from the ordinary wooden
peg is said to have been first made in London in the early part of the
nineteenth century by a man named Cork, and derived the popular
nickname of cork leg from this fact, although some people believe that
cork is often used for this purpose. Willow, however, combines some-
thing of the lightness of cork with a superior strength.

Willow for this purpose, however, must meet certain rather rigid
requirements. It will not do to manufacture an artificial limb block
from a small tree containing the heart in the center of the piece, be-
cause of the greater liability to checking. A tree of twelve inches
diameter or over is therefore required, although occasionally smaller
trees are utilized. Only the straight clear portion of the trunk is
usable, which often means less than ten feet of merchantable material
from the ordinary tree. The logs are usually split into quarters as
soon as cut in order to avoid possibility of checks in drying. Some-
times the ends of the sticks are painted to prevent too rapid seasoning
or a hole is bored in the end of the piece, which tends to prevent end
checking by distributing the seasoning process farther back into the
piece from the end. Most manufacturers of artificial limbs believe
that wood should be cut in the winter. Most of them consider it ne-
cessary to season the wood two or three years. One manufacturer,
however, claims that willow blocks cut in July and properly handled
were found as good as any which he had used.

Willow has been used to a considerable extent for fence posts; al-
though not a particularly durable wood in untreated condition, in dry
soil a well seasoned willow post will often last five to seven years, but
in locations which are alternately dry and wet or where much freezing
and thawing occurs their life is of course shorter. Willow is, how-
ever, a desirable wood for treatment and treated willow posts can well
replace red cedar posts. Where the latter cost 40 cents or more, first
class willow posts can be grown at a cost of 12 cents and second class
At a cost for treatment of 10 cents a post and a
cost of 3 cents each for peeling (this author’s figure, which appears to
be somewhat high) the ultimate cost is 21 to 25 cents for a post that
will last twelve to twenty years. Willow should be seasoned eight or
ten weeks before being creosoted. Thorough seasoning greatly adds
to the durability of untreated willow posts.

Willow is used abroad for the manufacture of tannin, the bark con-
taining 12 to 14 percent of that substance. It has never been used
for that purpose in this country, but the peelings from excelsior bolts
and basket willows could well be utilized at a low cost. Willow tan-
nin combined with birch tar or oil gives to Russia leather its well
known scent, being used in Russia for the tanning of the finest pro-
duct.

Bee keepers often plant out willows for the sake of the honey se-
cured from the flowers, although the female or staminate tree should
be used for this purpose. Willow is one of the few woods in which
the staminate and pistillate varieties are represented by separate indi-
viduals.

Query and Comment

What Are Canadian ‘‘Good Sides”

Will you kindly send us a carefully worded description of the grade of
white pine known as Canadian “good sides’? We wish to know particularly
the following points:—

1. Will “Good Sides” allow No. 1 Dressing boards. If so, what per-
centage?
2. Will this grade allow No. 1 Cuts, if so what percentage?

3. Will this grade allow No. 2 Cuts, if so what percentage?
4. Will this grade allow Shaky Clear, if so what percentage?
5. What is the narrowest width that 4/4 “Good Sides” will allow?
What is the narrowest width that 5/4, 6/4 and 8/4 will allow?

In a representative grade of “Good Sides” what percentage of the
stock would consist of Fine common, Selects and Uppers?—U. S. Reader.

aes

ba 3

Enquiry made by the Canada Lumberman from several well
posted lumbermen in Toronto shows that the general conception of
the term “Good Sides” in connection with Canadian white pine is that
this grade is usually put up for export in thicknesses of 1%4in. and
wider, and 8 in. and-wider, usually 8 in. and wider. This grade is the
cream of the log according to our information, and includes usually
what are known as “selects”, “picks”, and “uppers” and some times
“fine dressing.” “Good Sides” will not include No. 1 dressing boards.
As to whether No. 1 cuts may be included, this will depend upon the
arrangement made at the time of the sale, frequently the No. 1 cuts
are put in. No.2 cuts are not allowed. “Shaky clear” is not allowed.
As to the percentage of fine common, selects and uppers in “Good
Sides,”’, this will depend upon the arrangement made at the time of the
sale. If the arrangement is to include No. 1 cuts and better the fur-
ther question will arise as to how much of the No, 1 cuts may be put
in.

Logging Railroads in Eastern Operations

Editor Canada Lumberman:— Badger Brook, Nfld.
As the question of logging railroads has come up for discussion here I am
writing you hoping that you may be able to give me some information as to

the cost of equipment, conditions under which they will work, cost of operat-
ing, etc. Also I would be glad to know whether gasoline or kerosene can be

used in place of wood or coal. | In addition I would appreciate the names and
addresses of some companies who manufactue the necessary equipment.

Enquiry which we have made of several users of logging railroads
in eastern Canada has brought out information which is of a rather
variable nature. Some firms are meeting with decided success in this
method of logging, while others find various difficulties of a more or
less serious nature. The situation is summed up in information sent
us by a prominent operator in Quebec province, who says :—‘Gen-
erally speaking our conclusion is that where there are drivable streams
railroad operating should not be considered. In railroad operating,
cars have to be loaded either by team or steam. To keep a mill of
75,000 feet per ten hour day capacity in operation will require two
locomotives, depending on the distance of haul. This will hold good
up to about 25 miles. Also one ‘steam log loader will be required.
In regard to the use of fuel oil, etc., the chief point to consider is the
condition of the right of way in regard to fire possibilities. A ‘safety
first’ policy would make the fuel oil the best to use, then coal and then

wood, but when considering cost alone, the order would be exactly the -

reverse.
~-“Tocomotive drivers, firemen and brakemen are a very important
factor in logging by railroad. Incompetent men neglect the boilers
and under their management the tubes and the fire box are short-lived.
The same thing applies to a smaller extent in regard to the machinery
of the locomotive. This all furnishes a source of inestimable expense.

“The type of locomotive is very important, as well as the type of
logging cars. These matters will depend to a very great extent upon
the locality.. In regard to track construction there is only one thing
necessary and that is to make the track as nearly standard as possible.
The cheaply laid track is a source of heavy and continual expense for
up-keep, and it causes great wear and tear to machinery. Moreover,
it is a dangerous source of accidents. Roughly speaking, $5,000 per
mile should be the cost for clearing, grading, ties, and ‘tie and rail
To this must be added the current cost of rails.

“Tn districts where there is a considerable snowfall, a wind plough
and flanger are necessary, and even with the best possible equipment
it is a very difficult undertaking to keep things going.

“The writer has logged with almost every kind of equipment, both
in the east and on the Pacific Coast, and has good reason for asserting
that logging by rail is the court of last resort, in the east.”

been idle for years are being hurriedly made ready to enter trade
giving employment to additional thousands of seamen. The lur

How to Arrive at Grade

he above, it appears that there are sixteen essential quali-
or component parts to make up a first-class retail lumber-
re, to be one hundred per cent. efficient, as a retail lum-
an must grade one hundred per cent. perfect in each of
entials above listed. In other words, if the lumberman
cent. efficient in one essential, twenty-five per cent. in
seventy-five per cent. good in another, and so on, through
of essentials, the chances are that he will not erade out
ixty per cent. efficient on the general average test. If
, this man is not a thoroughly first-class lumberman,
e might grade one hundred per cent. efficient in his
of lumber and several other essentials, because his short-

A Good Word for Canadian Birch

Editor Canada Lumberman :—

Sometime ago I sent you an item on the desirability of Canadians using
more of their native woods, and less of the imported woods, and at that time
referred particularly to the many good qualities of Birch, not only for finishing
purposes, but also for general purposes, where heavy oak and ash are used at
the present time. I am enclosing you two newspaper clippings which refer
particularly to the qualities of birch. One in reference to the fine finish
which can be given it, and another to the fact that birch shrinks and swells
very little under any conditions.

Birch makes beautiful furniture and beautiful interior finish for residences,
offices and other public buildings, and it seems as though the attention of the
architects should be called to this beautiful wood which they are overlooking
and for which they specify substitutes that lack the good qualities of birch.

Not only is this doing an injustice to Canadian products, but it has a fur-
ther effect of taking good money out of Canada to pay for these substitutes
that should remain there to build up the country. At present this is a very
important feature to be considered.—U. S. Wholesaler.

The first of the items referred to by the writer of the above letter is as
follows:—

“A writer in the Furniture aikniniacharet and Artisan discusses interest-
ingly the finishing of birch as a high grade cabinet wood. He contends that
it should be filled in order to secure the best finish, although very often in
the past the filling coat has been omitted. Where used in conjunction with-
mahogany it should be treated in the finishing precisely as mahogany except
that it requires a stronger stain. If the birch parts are first coated with a
stain 50 per cent. darker than that used on the mahogany, and if when dry the
whole case is then coated with a mahogany stain and the two woods are then
treated alike in the finishing, the two will have much the same appearance.
This writer, however, contends that birch finished natural or in a light brown
shade deserves high rank as a cabinet wood and would receive it if it were an
imported rather than a domestic wood.”

The second item is as follows:—

“High prices and the increasing scarcity of black walnut lumber have re-
sulted in attempts to substitute other species for the manufacture of gun
stocks. . The Forest Products Laboratory has received numerous requests
for information on possible substitutes and many samples of rough stocks
from other species have been submitted to the laboratory for testing. To be
suitable for gun stocks the wood must be easily worked; it must be subject
to very slight shrinkage and swelling under outdoor weather conditions, and
it must be capable of taking a good finish. Of the substitutes being tried
birch has probably received more attention and orders have already been
placed for this material.”

Death of Col. A. D. Davidson -

Col. Andrew D. Davidson, who was closely associated with
Messrs. MacKenzie & Mann in their C. N. R. enterprises, and in their
various lumber manufacturing interests, died on April 22nd at Roch-
ester, Minn., at the age of 63. The late Mr. Davidson held the offices
of president ‘of the Canadian Western Lumber Company, Fraser Mills,
B. C.; president of the Columbia River Lumber Company Ltd., Golden,
Bet: ‘and president of the Big River Lumber Company, Prince Albert,
Sask., as well as important positions in a number of other large manu-
facturing concerns in Western Canada.

‘means much work to make the

are used and the articles are
dipped in’ a vat and not hand
painted. They are decorated by
hand and thoroughly inspected.
Most of these are made in the
New England states.

Most of the bamboo broom
handles used in the United States
come from Amsterdam, N.Y., and
are imported from Japan. When
they were first brought here they
proved unsatisfactory, as they

most of them and he has started a

Review of Current Trade Conditions

Ontario

Weather conditions and holidays have been rather against trade
activity in the lumber business during the past fortnight. The Easter
holiday invariably creates something a: a lull for a few days preceding
and following the Easter season. This has been strongly marked
during the present year. \Veather conditions have been unfavorable
in connection with the country demand for lumber. sackward
weather has prevented the farmers from coming into the market with
their lumber requirements and it is likely now, that farmers will be
too busy at their ploughing and seeding to give much time to buying
lumber or putting up buildings and improvements. Travellers who
have been visiting Ontario districts report that this condition is pretty
general and that most of the farmers are away behind in their work.
‘There are no features of definite interest in connection with the trade
in soft woods in Ontario. The demand from country retailers is quiet
and in the cities there is practically nothing going on in the way of
building operations. It is expected, however, “that when fine weather
has become permanent the city trade will show some improvement.
At present, however, there is really not as much enquiry for stocks as
there was a few weeks ago. <A curious situation in connection with
general trade conditions: a Ontario today, is the fact that, although
building operations are so greatly reduced, some other lines of trade
are quite active, for instance the piano trade is enjoying an excellent
volume of business. Apparently people are buying pianos now who
would scarcely have been considered prospective purchasers a few
months ago. -Evidently there is a good deal of money in circulation,
but it does not seem to be headed very strongly towards the lumber
trade. A case of rather similar interest is that of the jewellery trade.
We are told that retail jewellers are doing a very satisfactory business
today. Possibly this situation may be accounted for by the fact that
inany wage earners who formerly were only employed for a portion of
the year are now enjoying steady employment at increased wages and
are spending money on such articles of luxury. A fair sized. move-
ment of stock is still in progress in connection with the shell box busi-
ness, which is about the only active line in the softwood market in
Ontario.

In the hardwood trade, conditions are very different from those
in the softwood trade. Orders are somewhat mixed, but quite plenti-
ful, and many hardwood firms find that they have had the hest four
months’ trade this year that they have had since the commencement of
the war. Piano factories are very busy and furniture factories are
buying to a fair extent. The wagon factories generally seem to be
quite busy. The trade in hardwoods on the other side of the boundary
line is remarkably active. The greatest difficulty in connection with
hardwoods today is in getting stocks. Dry stocks are almost out of
existence. The cut of hardwoods in Ontario is expected to be about
25 per cent. less than formerly. One of the best lines on the market
today is 2 in. and 3 in. soft elm which is used for a variety of purposes,
an important use being for the uprights for piano frames. There is a
very strong demand for this line and stocks are scarce. “The demand
ior 1% in. birch is strong. These are the only features, but the rest
of the hardwood market ' continues active and strong, with very light
stocks. Much of the present buying movement in connection with
hardwoods is accounted for by the fact that for some time the manu-
facturers using hardwoods have been allowing their stocks to run

down. In fact there has not been such buying activity since before:
the war. .
Eastern Canada
The St. John market shows very little change so far as Trans-

Atlantic markets are concerned. Practically all of the trade now
going on is with the Allies'and their orders are much sought after. The
shipping situation continues to show record prices for tonnage.
Charters have been made at 360 shillings, which is an advance of 60
shillings during the past’ few weeks. English deal prices remain un-
changed.

The American market continues to improve. Railway companies
have recently raised their embargo and helped the trade greatly. <A
base price of $28 for spruce at Boston is now frequently quoted and
$30 does not seem unlikely in the near future. Lath are also higher
and selling at $3 to $3. 25 on the wharf at St. John. Shingles. are
quiet. The drivi ing situation is encouraging. Although a large jam
of logs developed at Grand Falls on the St. John River about the
middle of the month and subsequently broke, the St. John River Log
Driving Company managed to gather them all i in without any loss, as
they floated down the river.

next few months there will be a heavy demand. The steel business
which has been exceptionally -prosperous, is even growing more so.
Railroads never had heavier traffic to handle. Farmers generally are
prosperous and are likely to be in funds for some time to come. Work-
men throughout the country are receiving good wages. Money for
building purposes can be obtained easily and reports from the large
and small cities and communities show that extensive building will be
done this year. The present material prosperity means an enormous
demand for lumber. The Southern pine situation shows no important
change. The outlook is for an extensive demand and continued diffi-
culty in making shipments on account of car shortage. or the week
ending April 22nd, 159 Southern pine mills reported orders on hand
for 27,570 cars, or 550,848,600 feet. Shipments during the week

| Market Correspondence

St. John Trade—American Market Improved

St. John, N. B., April 25th (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—
Very little change has taken place in the St. John market in respect to
the shipment of lumber. It goes steadily onward, but if the price of
lumber only advanced as do freights, the lumber manufacturers would
become so wealthy they would not know where or how to invest their
riches. But this is not the case. Prices remain the same, while today
some charters have been made at 360 shillings, an advance of 60 shil-
lings during the past two weeks, and though it is said that even higher
rates will be paid, no one is capable of judging. English deal prices
remain the same, about $18 to $19 per M., but it seems as if the buyers
are afraid to venture, and parties having deals to sell today are unable
to find purchasers. What the future months may bring forward re-
mains to be seen. Really the only buyers today are the Allies, and
their orders are much sought after by all the shippers.

The American market shows a further better tone during the last
two weeks, especially since the lifting of the embargoes on the rail-
ways, which allows the purchaser to place his order and then feel
1easonably sure of getting shipment. Twenty-eight dollars is now a
much spoken of base at Boston and one would not be surprised if $30
were the base before long. All the widths have moved up in con-
junction with the base price, if the embargoes on the railways should
he kept off, a good market should prevail for American sizes.

Laths also have moved up, in keeping with long lumber prices,
and are well sold here at $3.00 to $3.25 on the wharves.

The shingle market is not like the rest but still remains dull and
dead, with evidently nothing ahead to show any improvement.

The river from Fredericton to Grand Falls is free of ice, having
run out early last week. This makes a clear river for two hundred
miles, from St. John up. The St. John River Log Driving Company
fave completed setting their booms and have been very fortunate in
catching the many logs which were scattered from the Grand Falls to
St. John, supposed to total three to four million feet. If these had es-
caped it would have meant a serious loss to everyone concerned. Bank
logs are now beginning to come into St. John and are bringing about
$14 per M. for spruce deal logs, $10 for spruce 8 in. to 10 in. butts,
$8.00 for spruce pulp wood and fir. These are about last year’s prices.

Montreal Reports Good U. S. Demand

Montreal, April 26th (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—The
most important feature in the Montreal trade today, is the good de-
mand for United States account. Orders have substantially increased
of late, and prices obtained are said to he satisfactory. Some ship-
ments are delayed, owing to a shortage of cars. Local business is
quiet, the building trade showing no signs of activity so far as the
city is concerned. Reports from the country districts, however, are
more favorable, although the work is not as a rule of individual im-
portance.

Apart from the firms making shell boxes, trade in the box section
is dull. The Dominion Box and Package Company has obtained an
order for 30,000 shell boxes.

The outlook for export is still uncertain, with the chances in favor
of a considerable reduction in the shipments. Shipping companies
have no further space to offer, at present, and when the season opens
it is likely that rates will advance further. It is probable that if the
eoods are urgently required on the other side the Government will
have to arrange for boats, as the regular liners hold out no hope of any
large amount of space being available for lumber.

The sulphite pulp market continues in a very strong position, with
prices still higher. Indications point to a further shortage in Euro-
pean supplies, owing to difficulty in procuring coal and in shipping

amounted to 5,023 cars or 100,359,540 feet, leaving a balance of order
on hand of 22,547 cars or 450,898,060 feet. —

The car situation continues to affect the hardwood trade cons
erably. A slight reduction in sales is reported of late, due almost
tirely to difficulty in making delivery. Northern hardwoods hay
also been a little less active, but this is said to be the result of lack of

mill stocks. Maple and basswood are strong. —

The market for Northern pine is quiet. Buyers are reported to
have good stocks on hand and are waiting for developments. Nor

Glasgow Quarterly Report

Edmiston & Mitchells, Glasgow, Scotland, in their Quarter! r
Timber Circular, say in part:—The opening quarter of the year hz
witnessed considerable activity in the Timber Trade of the Clyde, —
though it is a matter for regret that it is mainly to be attributed to war
requirements, and to that extent may be deemed unsatisfactory. The
belief that there might be a shortage of supplies, and that in view of
the scarcity and dearness of freights higher prices were almost inevit-
able, encouraged a certain amount of speculative buying, which helped
40 convey the impression that business was more active than was actt
ally warranted by the ordinary legitimate trade requirements of the —
market. The outstanding feature, so far as the year has gone, is a
steady inflation of values which embraced all varieties of timber, and
is due more than anything else to constantly advancing freights, which —
in many instances represent two or three times the free-on-board value
of the cargo. A further factor influencing values was the action of
the Government in prohibiting imports from lst March, except under —
special permit, of mahogany, black walnut, poplar, gum, bassw ie
maple, and from 31st March of oak, elm, birch and beach. Licenses ~
will only be granted for these if a guarantee be produced that they are —
to be used in the execution of Government orders, but there will be the —
difficulty of securing guarantee, and even then it is to be feared that the
giving out of permits will be a slow process, so that there is bound to—
bea serious restriction in such imports for the duration of the war.

Shipbuilders, who are still mostly engaged on Government work,
have shown more disposition to buy of late, doubtless due to the fact —
that they are now able to devote some little attention to mercantile
work, but it is improbable that the consumption in this direction will
undergo any decided improvement over the duration of the war. Box- _
makers have been very busy, chiefly on Government work, and there ©
is a large consumption of white pine to record. Wagon Aghildens ant
well employed, although their endeavors at present are centered to a
large extent on war work. There is no improvement in housebuile %
ing, nor is there likely to be until the costs of labor and material re-_
turn to a more normal level. | Cabinetmakers have experienced mod-—
erate trade, but with the import of furniture woods now prohibited, th 7
outlook for this industry has assumed a darkening aspect. ale

As regards the statistical statement, the imports are in excess © 5
the same period last year by about 12 per cent., but are rather le
than the first three months in 1914. |The total consumption shows th
remarkable increase of about 30 per cent. as compared with that for
the corresponding period in either of the two preceding years, and is”
chiefly due to the large movement which has taken place in white pine;
but notable increases are also recorded in the case of pitch pine, clea ‘
spruce, teak, and in whitewood, oak, and gum leather. With regard to”
the stocks remaining on hand at this date, while they are nearly 20
per cent. over the figures for this time last year, this is brought about —
by the great increase in the holding of white pine, nearly all other |
items showing a decrease. It is perhaps more interesting to note that

there has been a shrinkage in stocks since 31st December last of about
25,000 loads, or 25 per cent.

The output of tonnage on the Clyde for the first quarter of the
year is only five vessels of 17,580 tons, against last year’s figures for
the same period of 104,000. This at first sight would appear to imply
that local shipbuilders are not busy, which is far from being the case,
the explanation being that no figures are allowed to be published of
war vessels, which form the bulk of those launched.

Imports from British North America.

Yellow pine logs—A few sales of first quality wood, mostly of
deckwood sizes, were reported from stocks at prices which have ruled
rather firmer, but a good deal of the buying was of a speculative nature
and has not affected the actual consumption. Shipbuilding require-
ments are still inextensive, and the stock on hand seems ample to meet
ail demands for a long time yet.

Oak logs—A ood demand has been in evidence for Ist class
timber, and “the small stock carried over from last year has now been
exhausted. A few sales of 2nd class wood were reported, and there
is now little even of this quality available in the market. Values
have shown considerable appreciation. This wood has been placed
on the Government list of prohibited imports.

Elm logs—First class rock elm of large average has met with good
request, and high prices have been obtained for parcels of this descrip-
tion, the stock of which is now very light. The movement in other
qualities and specifications was quiet, but values have fuled very firm.
This wood has been placed on the Government list of prohibited im-
ports.

Bireh—Loes: With no stock in first hands, selling was purely of a
retail nature. Some little contracting business has been done on a
cif. basis at firm prices. Lumber: Planks have met with demand,
and sales were reported from stocks at much enhanced prices. ‘This
wood has been placed on the Government list of prohibited imports.

Yellow pine deals and sidings—The lower grades have met with
cood demand, the stock in first hands having been cleared out, and
values on same have shown very considerable appreciation. First and
second qualities have, however, proved more difficult of sale. Con-

tracting has been on a small scale this year, buyers being disinclined

to enter into commitments at the present high prices, and especially
on the f.o.b. basis.

Spruce deals—The import was on a Peckrictett scale and quite in-
adequate to meet the active demands which have existed and which
have been maintained despite the steady and extensive rise in values.
While the stocks on hand are shown at 11,000 standards, they are held
almost entirely on account of merchants and consumers. A fair
amount of contracting business has been transacted, chiefly on the
f.o.b. basis, at high prices.

Liverpool Market Report

Smith & Tyrer Ltd., Liverpool, Eng., in their monthly market
report say :—"“The question of tonnage is still the dominating factor of
the situation. Government action, which has embraced an extension
of the list of prohibited wood goods, has not so far had any appreci-
able effect upon the problem of « overseas space. It seems certain that
we shall be faced by a shortage of tonnage throughout the coming
season. Spruce deals have appreciated in value, and, owing to the
difficulty in obtaining tonnage, and the meagre liner space allotted to
the shippers, the quantity offering i is small and it is readily sold. There
is nothing in sight to presage any weakening in prices. Hemlock is
readily placed. 3irch, owing to the prohibition of the import, has
risen rapidly in value. Pine is firmly held and sellers are having their
own way. Pacific Coast woods are still hampered by the difficulties
in getting stock forward.”

London Market Report

Churchill & Sim in their Wood Circular, under date of London,
April 5th, say: “The total deliveries for March from:the Port of Lon-
don correspond closely to the aggregate recorded in March, 1915, the
returns being swelled owing to “the heavier importation from the
Southern Swedish ports, from which buyers for overside delivery have
preferred to draw their supplies, coupled as the quotations have been
with a definite rate of freight, and prompt delivery, rather than to com-
mit themselves to what they consider to be the more uncertain condi-
tions governing f.o.w. business from the Northern districts. The
London market for available sawn stock has shown increased firm-
ness, especially for deals of the lower grades of White Sea and Swedish
productions, and for the thinner rough boards. Whitewood has been
in good request, and the demand appears to be running upon stock
suitable for case making than upon building timber.. The heavy de-
mand for floorings and scantlings which emanated from special re-
quirements caused primarily by the war has been satisfied for the time
being, and buyers have not been forced by any shortness of stock to
look far ahead for their supplies up to the present, so that they are

still disinclined to modify the terms upon which they are prepared to.

enter into wholesale transactions ahead.

Forest Products Exports Still Increasing

Canada’s exports of forest products for 12 months ending Janu-
ary were valued as follows:—1910, $51,211,820; 1915, $41,523,344 ;
1914, $42,707,781; 1913, $42,873,710. Imports of wood and manutac-
tures of wood for the 12 months ending January 1916 amounted in
value to $8,406,841 which is only a little more than one half the total
for the corresponding 12 months ending January, 1915, when the total
was $16,373,044.

Logging and Market Conditions in the West

The Pacific Coast Timber Bulletin, issued by James D. Lacey &
Co., at Portland, Ore., under recent date, says in part :—Following a
prolonged season of weather that made logging impracticable, lumber-
ing operations are opening up very actively throughout the entire
West. Orders and shigments exceed production and prices are hold-
ing steady or advancing. Many mills and factories have all the busi-
ness they are willing to take on in the face of other conditions which
make against the fullest activity. A log shortage has existed but it
will be overcome as soon as the loggers have recovered from the dam-
age done by severe and continued storms. At Portland there has
been an excess of ten inches of railfall. Along the entire coast
weather conditions have been so bad that woods operations are im-
possible in some localities and difficult everywhere. There is much
speculation as to what the log situation will be a few weeks hence.
Many camps are starting up and an over-supply may follow; but the
demand will be determined by the ability of manufacturers to ship
their output. Logs were advanced to $7, $10 and $13, but on Colum-
bia River prices have now returned to $6, $9 and $12. On the Sourid
it is said that as high as $14 is bid for No. 1 fir logs. The car shortage
is very serious, particularly on Puget Sound, where the side-tracks are
filled with loaded cars awaiting vessels. On Columbia River lumber
production is curtailed by car shortage at the terminals. Manufac-
turers and dealers are compelled to pass orders on account of uncer-
tainty regarding shipments. The average selling price of lumber is
now around $13.50 as against about $9.50 a few months ago. It may
now be said that the cost of production is returned, plus a fair margin

Difficulty in securing steel products, and the high prices demanded,

__In this connection it is very gratifying to note that the situatic
is shaping itself very favorably for wood. Unquestionably
wood has been displaced by steel and concrete because of apathy
the part of lumber manufacturers and disregard for proper attention
the requirements of structural engineers. Through the helpful effort
of the lumbermen’s associations co-operating with technical expe
the possibilities of wood are being shown and developed and if the
dustry shall now apply itself to intelligent adaptation of its prodt
to their best uses the business now offered through force of
stances may be retained under all conditions. West Coast Li
men’s Association is forcefully demonstrating the effectiveness
ganized expert effort. Given the support of all who are ca
with the future of the forests of its territory it will pull the
fir industry out of the hole into which it fell. It deserves the
support of every timber owner and operator. Although the
degree of efficiency cannot be attained in the industry until it

Specifications for several million feet of Douglas fir required by
the South African Government have been received in British Columbia
hy officials of the Forest Branch. Owing to the scarcity of ships,
however, it is difficult for B. C. lumbermen to effect delivery.

SH. White & Co., Limited, of Sussex, N.B., will cut over
10,000,000 feet of spruce, with a small percentage of pine and hemlock
this season. Their five mills will all be operated, located at Pollett
River, Colis Island, Rockwell, Jeffries Corners, and New River, all in
New Brunswick.

According to an amendment to the Forest Act which has been
placed before the B. C. Legislature by the Government, power 1s to be
given to the Lieut.-Governor-in-Council, under certain conditions, to
permit the export of unmanufactured timber from the province, during

treal. They were particularly interested in the testing of lumber for
strength and in the experimental plant for creosoting lumber. This
visit and the lecture before the Chambre de Commerce are indications
of a wider public appreciation of the work of the laboratories.

A report from Ogdensburg, N. Y., states that on account of the
shortage of print paper and the great demand for the product from
which it is made, many more cords of pulpwood will be handled at the
Ogdensburg terminal this summer than ever before. Preparations are
being made to take care of additional shipments by boat from Quebec
ports and for the unloading of the vessels at the terminal west of the
city.
The report of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, Seattle,

China’s Import of Softwood Lumber

Imports of softwood lumber into China are extensive and promise
to increase rapidly. Unfortunately, Canada’s share in this trade is
practically nil. Figures for three years are as follows :— '
1913

Square feet Square feet Square feet
Total imports of softwood timber .. 78,912,408 161,375,117 199,703,535

In addition to the above recorded imports of lumber, which con-
sisted of heavy timber, beams, planks, scantling and boards, it is
now possible from recent returns received, to give the figures of rail-
way sleepers furnished to China by other countries within recent years.

From this it will be seen that the comparatively cheap Japanese
wood is mostly drawn upon-to furnish ties for Chinese railways. Com-
paring also the figures of-cost with the quantities furnished it will be
observed that this represents about tael 1 per piece. This would
be approximately 60 to 671% cents Canadian currency per piece in the
different years.

Paper and Cardboard

The consumption of paper in China is very great. This country
has been manufacturing paper for many hundreds of years, but the
mills only produce the classes of paper which have been peculiar to
the country for many generations. As yet they have not established
paper mills having modern equipment, nor have they produced paper
suitable for the present-day requirements of newspapers and books.

The figures of imports for three years follow, but these do not

represent the limits of the trade. Many inquiries have been made in |

respect to paper during the year, but unfortunately possible orders

could not be executed.

Total imports of paper Tis * 4,354. 713 7,212,982 6,525,268
The increase of newspapers throughout the country has been
phenomenal within the past few years, and now every town of much
importance has one or more newspapers.

New Method of Creosoting Douglas Fir

At a meeting of the Forest Club, held at Vancouver, Bs. Gj. re-
cently, Mr. O. P. M. Goss, of Seattle, Wash., described an important
new method of creosoting Douglas fir, by means of which the timber
is preserved without any loss of strength. It is believed that this
process will result in a much increased demand for Douglas fir as a
bridge material, also for ties, wharf construction, etc. Mr. Goss, who
is consulting engineer for the West Coast Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion, Seattle, Wash., spoke extensively also of the work done by the
Association in the way of developing the coast lumber trade. Form-
erly Mr. Goss was engaged in the timber testing laboratories of the
United States Forest Service, and is a recognized authority on this
subject. The creosote is injected into the timber, under the new sys-
tem, at a low temperature and under a low vacuum. This is a
slower process than the old one, but Mr. Goss states that the wood
retains 99.7 per cent. of its original strength. In some of the indi-
vidual tests the creosoted timber was stronger than the uncreo-
soted. In no case had it less than 95 per cent. of the strength of
the original timber.

Washington Red Cedar

An attractive booklet entitled “Washington Red ‘Cedar—Amer-
ica’s Overcoat Lumber” has been published by the West Coast Lum-
ber Manufacturers’ Association of Tacoma, Wash. The booklet con-
tains an interesting discussion of red cedar and its various uses, laying
particular stress on the fact that it is one of the longest lived timbers
known.

A new issue of the “Consumers’ Register” of the National Hard-
wood Lumber. Association has just been published. This register
contains details of the lumber requirements per annum of approxi-
mately 500 responsible factory consumers of hardwoods in the United
States and Canada; freshly collected, revised and tabulated, and repre-
senting a total yearly movement of over 1 billion feet of hardwood
lumber.

A Large Cypress Transaction

Announcement has been made at New Orleans, La., of the con
pletion of one of the largest timber deals in recent Louisiana history
whereby the Lutcher & Moore Cypress Lumber Company, of Lutchei
La., acquires a large tract of virgin cypress timber, together with som
cutdver land, from the Ruddock-Orleans Cypress Company, of Ne
Orleans. The price paid was $2,150,000, constituting what is said t

‘be the highest price ever paid for standing timber in that state. Th
tract involved is situated in St. John the Baptist Parish and i
described as one of the finest cypress tracts remaining in Louisiana

The deal was handled by James D. Lacey & Co., of Chicago a
New Orleans, and has been under negotiation for some time. ~
Lutcher & Moore company’s directors decided upon the purchase |
ing the early part of February. “s

_ The transfer does not involve the erection of a new plant,
affect the present output of either of the companies. The purchasi
company will manufacture the timber from its newly acquired
at its big Lutcher plant, giving it a larger supply and correspondit
longer term of operation, while the Ruddock-Orleans company °
log its huge New Orleans plant from other timber holdings. T
latter company had begun logging operations in the tract, but y

iously as tamrack, red American larch, larch, Western tamarack
hackmatack, and much more durable than Eastern larch, the ste
qualities of this species.are described in the bulletin for the inf
tion of lumber dealers and wood-users. The annual cut in B
Columbia, of late years, has averaged sixty-two million feet bo
measure, the range of Western larch being between the Rockies a
the Cascades, south of the main line of the C. P. R. Suitable for
many uses, and in some unsurpassed, Western larch supplies mat ‘ial
for dimension, poles, piles and posts, ties, framing, outside and in-

5000 Facts About Canada

The public will welcome the new issue for 1916 of “5,000 Fa
About Canada,” the popular and valuable cyclopedia of Canadian
dates, compiled by Frank Yeigh of Toronto, the well-known writer
and lecturer on the Dominion. No up-to-date and intelligent Canad-
ian can afford to be without this “hardy annual,’ which is a revela-
tion in concrete form of the wonderful growth of our country in
single year, despite war conditions; indeed, it circulates all over
world, and as such is a splendid advertisement. The chapter of “W.
Iacts” is, by the way, both timely and illuminating. Fifty oth
chapters are devoted alphabetically to every phase of Our national
life, from Agriculture to the Yukon, while several sketch maps are of

California Redwood Described 2
“California Redwood” is the title of a splendidly gotten up book-
let, describing this attractive wood, which has been issued by the Ser-
vice Bureau of the California Redwood Association, San Francisco,
Cal. The booklet is one of the finest that has ever come to our
notice. It contains ten four-color reproductions, picturing redwood
in its natural state, also a few colored illustrations giving an excellent
conception of the appearance of redwood when finished in yario
colors. The illustrations and general press work of the booklet at
very striking and will carry conviction to any reader who is at all i
terested in securing good results in wood. The booklet also con-
tains directions for securing a number of fine and rare finishes on
1edwood. i saan

Scotland, it is held they do not come under the same category as those
who have volunteered for the front. on

SPARTAN BELTS

1 for Compressors

TRENGTH, pliability, and power to resist abnormal physical conditions
are the characteristic qualities which make Spartan Belts so highly
efficient for compressor work.

This high efficiency is what made possible such satisfactory service
from the 10 inch Spartan Double Belt on the compressor shown
herewith. The belt operates at a speed of 2350 F.P.M. from a
10 inch Motor Pulley of 900 R.P.M. under a 12 inch Lenix
Idler to a 54 inch pulley on the compressor—only 6 ft.
centers and transmits 75 H.P. The automatic stopping
and starting device naturally subjects the belt to an
intermittent load—jumping instantly from no load

to full load.

The qualities which have made Spartan Belts
so successful for compressor drives make
them equally efficient for all drives where
conditions are unusual or quickly
ruinous to ordinary belts.

Put your hard drive problems up to
Spartan Belts—the long-lived all
sufficient transmission.

result of wide experience, extending over a period
of 80 years.

The material used in their construction is thor-
oughly tested and is the best of its kind.

All details are accurately finished to standard

gauges and ; are about interchangeable on all locomotives of the same class and size.

“This cuts out long delays at critical times of the work, as parts liable to wear can be kept on hand or

Overhaul Your Mill

HERE are wet places in every saw and pulp mill where nothing but the highest class
belting can ‘‘make good” It is for these wet places that we recommend what most
mill-men swear by—our

“ACME WATERPROOF” BELT

This. belt is especially made for a rough and trying service. It has less stretch than any other
belt by 15 to 25 per cent.

When you are overhauling try a Goodhue ‘‘Acme Waterproof” belt. Other Goodhue belts are
“Extra” and ‘‘Standard.’’

Prices and Particulars on Request.

LEVIATHAN OR ANACONDA

EEVIATHAN and
ANACONDA have
been sold on a “make
good” basis for over
thirty years. If/they
hadn’t made good we
would have been out
of business long ago.
The fact that our busi-

ness is progressing
rapidly is ample proof
of the merit of this
belting.

With every belt we
guarantee full value in
service, dollar for dol-
lar, horsepower for

horsepower, and just
as we have figured our
tables of horsepower

for the best results,
just so in making the
above statement, we
not only expect to
give equal service, but
BETTER SERVICE,
AND MORE ECON-
OMICALLY.

Why not give us a trial order and let LEVIATHAN or ANACONDA prove itself?

This Plymouth Transmission Drive
has been in steady use for six years in a certain New Hamp-
shire lumber mill. From each December to the following
June or July it has been run night and day. There are 18
ropes. The sheaves are 11’ and 5’ 6” diameter and their cen-
ters 7/2’ apart. The engine generates 7/00 I. P.

Plymouth Manila Transmission Rope gives service of
this sort because it is made correctly from fiber of superior
quality.

This mark on your
saw mill machinery is
an indication that
your lumber manu-
facturing equipment
is the best and most:
economical money
can buy.

o. 2 Bolter

This No. 2 Bolter is the ideal machine for the mill of
medium production using a single band or circular. It
will handle all the slabs from such a mill with ease.

The frame is of unit construction, the three saws are
of 16 inches diameter adjustable for lath, pickets~or
slats and the feed rolls are power driven.

For a solid substantial machine of ample capacity you
cannot beat our No. 2 Bolter.

_A Steam Nigger for Medium Mills

One drawback of the ordinary Steam
Nigger is the fact that it requires an
expert to handle it. Only a slight
skip on the part of the operator is
sufficient to cause disastrous results.

Where the carriage is of medium weight, unless
in the hands of an experienced man, the danger
of wrecking the carriage is especially great.

‘eS BEER oO :
The Waterous Kendall Nigger is practically “lg \
accident-proof. While it possesses both the 4 mi
speed and power of the ordinary Steam Nigger,
it is so designed that a green operator can do
quick and effective work without endangering the
carriage in any way.

WATEROUS
KENDALL
NIGGER

By attaching the Nigger Bar to ome cylinder
only, one motion of the operating lever turns the
log and a quite distinct and separate motion is
required to load it.

The stroke of the cvlinder controliing the loading
motion is made very short and thus further pre-
cludes the possibility of a serious mishap.

The Kendall Nigger is constructed to be pow-

- erful and rapid in action. The cylinders are 10
in. and 8 in. in diameter, pistons are steam cush-
ioned at both ends of stroke, valves are adjust-
able to permit increase or decrease of operat-
ing speed without affecting the power of the
machine.

Nigger Bar is of wrought iron, dogs are extra
wide, top dog is winged, a steel roller is sup-

plied. No Floor plate is necessary. All lever
and crank connections ‘are made short and di- OUR LOG DECK EQUIPMENT
rect, so that the machine gives instant response INCLUDES:

to the movements of the sawyer’s lever.
A great many of these Niggers are already in use Log Loaders Oscillating Niggers

in mills, where speed and accuracy on the log . ;

British Columbia Douglas Fir
The Wood Which Ten Years Hence

Will Dominate the

DOUGLAS FIR is the strongest wood in the world

for its weight obtainable in commercial sizes and
quantities.

It is unexcelled for the most exacting requirements
of modern engineering practice, and the highest
class of interior finish.

The combination of STRENGTH and LIGHTNESS
which Douglas Fir possesses gives it a superiority
shown by official tests here quoted:

The chief cause of wear and elongation of pitch
in an ordinary riveted chain is the rotating of the
rivet in the eyes of the side bars.

In our Saw Mill Pintle Chains (‘‘drive’ chains)
the rivet is prevented from rotating or rocking, by
having the head notched at one side and engaged
with a corresponding projection cast on the side bar,

In our Riveted Malleable Iron Saw Dust or
Refuse Chains (‘‘conveyor’”’ chains), where the service
is heavier, we provide a T-head rivet held securely
between lugs cast on one side bar.

These are the only methods in use which insure
prevention of rocking or rotation of the rivet.

As each link carries its own rivet, this improve-

The rivets are .40% carbon steel, rolled true and
smooth after forging.

This process compresses the original hard scale
surface, and materially increases the durability of the
joint.

DRYING

most import-
ant operations of veneer
manufacture. The old
method of drying in racks
is too slow, and requires
too much floor space and
labor for handling.

THE

is an evolution of the rack drying
method with the disadvantages elim-
inated. The “Proctor” Dryer is
automatic and requires very little

The present issue of the Canada Lumberman is in many respects different from all of the previous annual issues that
In bringing out this year’s number we have had in mind the preparation of a journal which, while not
including so much as usual in the way of articles showing the growth of the industry in Canada, will give an impressive idea
The articles that make up this number deal with a remarkably wide range of
Tgubjects that are of practical interest to the industry. They cannot fail to impress one with the fact that in the production of

These activities we have sought to indicate and describe, not so much by our own effort as by the
| _ effort of those who are themselves engaged in the industry. The special articles which make up practically the whole of this
, issue are the work of men who have spent their lives in the industry itself and who know from practical experience the details
of the subjects they are discussing. For this reason we feel that this issue is much less one of our production than the produc-
tion of the industry itself, and therefore, all the more valuable to our readers.

While we have sought to have this issue reflect the activities of the industry in general, there has crept into it almost
__irresistably one feature which is indicative of a very important development in the lumbering industry and trade in Canada to-
day.’ During the past few months we have seen a great awakening of interest among Canadian lumbermen and lumber con-
sumers in the lumber products of their own country, and perhaps more than anything else this movement has been character-
ized by the aggressiveness with which the Government and the manufacturers of British Columbia have been pushing their mar-

80 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

Reduction in Workmen’s Compensation Rates

Favorable Results in Lumbering, Woodworking, etc., lead to lower cost for 1916
—Results of 1915 Operation. ‘7

Ontario lumbermen have been so closely in touch with the effects
of the Workmen’s Compencation Act since its inauguration in the
province on January Ist, 1915, that the results of the first year’s
operations, and the situation as it exists today are of importance
to them all. The Workmen’s Compensation Board has furnished the
Canada Lumberman with special information about the results of
the first year’s operation of the act and exclusive information regard-
ing changes to be made in the rates charged in connection with a
number of lines of industry during 1916. The most important feature
of this information is that in relation to the new rates. In advising the
Canada Lumberman of the changes, the Workmen’s Compensation
Board say :—

“The aim of the Board is to make the rates for each kind of
industry conform to the actual cost for such industry.

“The rates fixed for 1915 before any experience had been had in
the actual operation of the new Act were necessarily based upon
other tables of rating with allowances for the difference between the
provisions of the Ontario Act and the covering of the other ratings.
We have now had one year’s experience, but the actual figures for
the year are still incomplete, inasmuch as at the close of the year
many claims for accidents happening during 1915 had not yet been
filed, or, by reason of continuing disability or incompleteness of re-
ports, had not been finally dealt with, and inasmuch as the assess-
ments, which were based upon estimated payrolls, had not been ad-
justed to the actual payrolls.

“With the help of estimates, however, the situation has been
gauged as nearly as possible. This has been done not only with
respect to each class of industry but also, as far as could be, with
respect to each particular line of industry in the class, and the rates
for 1916 have been fixed accordingly.

“While in a few cases it has been deemed necessary to increase
the rate, there is for 1916 in most cases a reduction from the 1915
rate, in many cases a very substantial one. In cases where the sur-
plus was large it has been reduced by lowering the rates for 1916
retroactively.

“Separate account is kept of all the moneys received and paid out
in respect of each class of industry, and the standing of each class is
considered separately. It is very essential that within the class each
kind of industry shall bear its proper proportionate rate, but it is
immaterial to employers in one class what the rate may be in another
class. If there is a surplus in the class it means a subsequent lower-
ing of rates, while if there is a deficit it will mean an increase.”

Reductions in the Rates

The rates for 1915 and the new rates for 1916 in connection with
lumber, logging, river driving, woodworking, etc., are as follows :—

The results of the operation of the act during 1915 show many
interesting points. The total number of accidents reported was
17,033. Assessments collected from employers amounted to $1,539,-
492, The amounts distributed to employees and their families amount-
ed to $1,186,221. There was thus a surplus of assessments over dis-
tributions amounting to $395,026,

lias fi 2 a

Compensation was given in 9,829 cases. Among these the parti
benefiting included 65 widows, 116 children, 35 mothers, and 10 fat her
The cost of administration of the Act for 1915 was $100,846. Chequ
to the number of 150, on the average were sent out from the Boar
offices daily, amounting to about $3,600. <a

In its report for the year the Board says:—“Though, in vi
the unavoidable incompleteness of the actual figures the first y
experience cannot be regarded as conclusive, it indicates t
financial burden of the new law will be less than was antici
The assessments levied for 1915 are in most cases more than
ent to meet the requirements. Though in a very few instane
bad accident record has called for an increase in rate, the Boar¢
felt warranted in making substantial reductions in most classes
industry. In a number of classes or parts of classes, where the
perience was good and the surplus large, reductions 2 are being applie
retroactively for 1916,” ae
Beriefits of the Act 4

“The Act has worked smoothly and satisfactorily. The benefits”
of the new system of law to both workmen and employers are recog
nized and appreciated. Claims are expeditiously and ‘inexpensively
disposed of. Employers are immune from the expense and annoyance
of litigation. The intricacies and hardships upon workmen and their
families of the old doctrines of negligence and assumed risk are elim-—
inated. The facts to be determined by the Board are usually few ane .
simple. There is no longer the need for pares of legal fees eitheas
by workmen or employers.” i

Evidence that employers as a whole have been satisfied with thes
working of the Act in its first twelve months is shown by the fact that
many employers have asked that industries or operations carried on
by them which are not now under the main schedule of the Act should —
be included.. Although the Act introduced a rather radical alteration
in compensation methods, the co-operation shown by all parties in c
the first year’s experience has been excellent and steadily improves. __

Fifteen safety associations were brought into existence, the sal-
aries and expenses of the inspectors being paid in most instances by —
the Board. The educative and preventive work carried on by these ~
inspectors, devoting themselves as they do to one group of industrion®
is of the most valuable order.

The need for such supplementary work is proved by the eecondall
of accidents in Ontario industries. Twenty-one set screws which
the Board says might have been countersunk for about $7.35 were
responsible for an accident barden of $5,619.39. Open shafting and —
conveyors which might have been covered for a few dollars wounded —
66, killed 4, and crippled 37 wage earners. Because two elevators —
lacked automatic locks, two lives were sacrificed and a compensation —
burden imposed of $6, 179.06. Here is a fruitful field for the a
inspector. -

Litigation Eliminated

The abolition of litigation is one of the most satisfactory benckiae
of the Workmen’s Compensation Act to both employer and employee. —
More than 17,000 claims were disposed of without recourse to courts, ;
or any friction between master and man. : a

The manner of dealing with claims is simple and informal. Notice
of the accident is required to be sent in by the employer within three
days after it occurs. The workman makes a similar report, which ©
is supplemented by the attending physician. Promptly upon the |
receipt of the latter evidence, a cheque is mailed, seldom with more
delay than two or three days, unless a special investigation is neces- —
sary; in that case temporary payments may be remitted to the i inj ed .
party. a

In the operation of the Act, great care is taken to guard against
all forms of imposition. The ambitious workman, eager to return ‘ai j
his employment and overcome his handicap through injury is not
placed at a disadvantage as compared with a comrade who makes no
such effort. Individual circumstances may, and often do, vary the
amounts set forth in the table of allowances. This power to dis- —
criminate has been especially needful in the rating of “permanent —
disabilities,” for which a workman is entitled to 55 per cent. life
panei based on the extent of his impairment.

Lieut. L. F. Strickland

Lieut. L. F. Strickland, of the

224th Foresters Battalion, whose
portrait we publish herewith, is
well known to the lumber trade
of Toronto, having been connect-
ed for several years with the Can-
ada Lumber Company of Weston,
Ont., which conducts an extensive
retail trade in Toronto and its out-
lying districts. Lieut. Strickland
was well known as one of the
energetic and progressive younger
members of the trade, having
been prominent in most of the
co-operative association work car-
ried on by the trade during the
past few years. The Canada
Lumber Company was founded
only a few years ago by the late
Mr. Strickland, Sr., father of
Lieut. L. F. Strickland. From
the first it made its influence felt
strongly in the retail trade.
: After the death of Mr. Strick-
land, Sr., Lieut. L. F. Strickland assumed the management of the
‘company. Although a comparatively young firm, it has already
“made rapid progress and has worked up quite an extensive business,
‘operating a plant for the production of most of the important classes
of interior finish. .

Lieut. Strickland’s business experience has been practically all in
the lumber business. For some months he was employed in a ware-
house in Columbus, Ohio, learning the lumber business. Then he
came to Toronto with his father and continued with the Canada Lum-
ber Company. When the war broke out he devoted a great deal of
his attention and energy to the work of recruiting. He was associ-
- ated with the 109th regiment from the time when it commenced re-

‘eruiting and he stuck to this work faithfully until he felt that it was

his duty to take on more active work in connection with the war.

Having qualified as a lieutenant he was appointed to the 224th For-

estry Battalion, for which his acquaintance with the lumber business

gave him special qualifications, and he went overseas with this bat-
- talion.

_Mr. Stewart by this firm is a step upon which they are to be greatly
_ congratulated, as he is one of the best-known lumber travellers in
_ Ontario. He has covered Ontario for the former firm during the
past nine years and is in close touch with every dealer in the province.
Messrs. Muir, Kirkpatrick & Sharpe have also added to their sell-
_ ing force in Western Canada by taking over the Vancouver office of
_ W.R. Chandler. Mr. Geo. R. Potter, former sales manager for W. R.
i) Chandler, will be in charge of the western business for Messrs. Muir,
Kirkpatrick and Sharpe and will cover British Columbia and the
‘prairie provinces. Mr. Potter has one of the finest trade connections in
the lumber business in Western Canada and is known to practically
everybody who buys lumber. ’

Vancouver Lumber Company Upen Toronto Office

The Vancouver Lumber Com-
pany, Limited, Vancouver, B. C.,
having been impressed by the re-
markable awakening of interest
in British Columbia lumber that
is taking place in Ontario and
eastern Canada, have opened an
office in Toronto, where they are

located at 701 Excelsior Life
Building, with Mr. Chas. Plant
as their representative. The

office was opened about May lst

and Mr. Plant is now busily mak-

ing himself known to the trade.

The Vancouver Lumber Com-

bany, Limited, is one of the larg-

est and most important lumber

manufacturing concerns in Brit-

ish Columbia. It has two mills,

one which is known as the fir

mill, being located at Vancouver. ’
This mill cuts about 200,000 feet

of lumber per day, producing
large timbers, fir upper grades,

such as flooring, ceiling etc. Their other mill is located at Roche
Point on Burrard Inlet, about nine miles up from Vancouver. This
1s a cedar mill with very fine up-to-date equipment, including twelve
upright machines. At this mill the company specialize in XXX and
XXXXX shingles, turning out a very fine line of these grades. Their
product is practically 100 per cent. clear and 100 per cent. vertical
grain. The company also turn out a specially attractive line of cedar
bevel siding. .

Mr. Chas. Plant is an Englishman who came to Canada about
1910, and joined the staff of the Arrow Lakes Lumber Company,
with whom he remained for about two years. Then he became asso-
ciated with the Vancouver Lumber Company and has continued with
them ever since. At first, he was employed in their office, assisting
the sales manager. About the beginning of 1914 he was sent to
Winnipeg and represented the company in the middle west. Then,
when the war commenced, the Vancouver Lumber Company opened
an office at Minneapolis, Minn., and Mr. Plant was placed in charge.
Now that the company have decided to enter the eastern Canadian
market actively, they have concluded that Mr. Plant is the logical man
for the task. Mr. Plant will devote his attention to the trade in
eastern Canada and will have his headquarters at Toronto. We are
pleased to be able to publish a portrait of Mr. Plant, with whom a
large number of our readers will soun become personally acquainted.

British Columbia Log Output

Reports from Vancouver indicate that during the month of May
a record will be made in British Columbia logging operations. Stocks
are lower than at any time in the past ten years and operators are
working extensively. A number of new operations are reported at
Wolfssohn Bay and other points on the coast. Over 34,000,000 logs
were scaled in the Vancouver district during March and an equal num-
ber during April. Storms during the middle of April tied up many
booms in harbor. When finer weather came there was a rush of logs
to port which brought the total up rapidly. During the last week in
April and the first week in May the logs scaled easily exceeded the
quantity in any previous similar period. Among the new logging
operations reported is one by the Haslam Lake Lumber Company at
Wolfssohn Bay, one by Lamb Bros., who have taken over the Van-
couver ‘Timber and Trading, Company’s railway at Wolfssohn Bay,
a new railway logging camp by P. B. Anderson at Shookum Chuck,
Jervis Inlet; a new camp at Seymour & Company, at Narrows Arm,
Sechelt, and a new camp by T. Highland at Turner Island. There
are also a number of smaller operations begun in the coast district.

The timber statement for the month of March, issued by the Min-
ister of Lands, shows that the total scale of saw-logs for the province
amounted to 43,858,794 board measure, in addition to 149,337 lineal
feet of poles and piles, and 11,216 cords of ties, shingle bolts, fence-
posts, etc. The saw-logs scaled in the various districts include Van-
couver, 34,279,501 feet; Cranbrook, 4,145,025 feet; Island, 3,325,818
feet; Vernon, 1,377,528 feet; and Nelson, 386,782 feet. Of poles and
piles there were scaled in the Nelson district, 60, 428 lineal feet: Island,
36,900 feet; Prince Rupert, 21,763 feet, and Vancouver, 13,421 feet.
Timber sales recorded during March cover an estimated total of 6,581,-
940 feet. B. M. saw-logs; and 28,140 lineal feet poles and piles, to
produce a revenue of $9,752.

Revising B. C. Grading Rules

Descriptions and Definitions of Various Species and Grades,
to Facilitate Trade

In the grading of lumber the manufacturers of British Columbia
have probably made greater advance than those in any other part of
Canada, having drawn up and put in to effect definite sets of grading
rules in connection with various important lines of lumber. Today,
the B. C. Lumber & Shingle Manufacturers’ Association has a special
committee at work on a revision of its grading rules. Of late years
the market for B. C. manufactured lumber has been reaching out
into many new districts and the manufacturers are finding it more
and more necessary to be able to describe definitely just how the
various lines of stock are manufactured, so that buyers will know
what it is best for them to order for the particular purpose which
they have in mind. This idea is not only for the convenience of the
buyer, but also for that of the manufacturer. In,a great number of
cases enquiries and orders are received upon which it is not possible
to give a quotation, much less fill them, without a great deal more
information than is given. British Columbia manufacturers are find-
ing out that this class of order comes especially from Eastern Can-
ada and the United States, where buyers are not yet familiar with
their woods.

The intention in preparing a revision of the grading rules is
that the new rules shall give descriptions of the various species of
merchantable timber found on the coast in British Columbia, the
particular qualities of each species and the uses for which each par-
ticular kind of tree is best fitted.

In British Columbia the manufacturers have established the cus-
tom, especially for Canadian and United States trade, of drying,
dressing and finishing the lumber at the sawmills, so that it is ready
to hand over to the carpenter on the job. This, they believe, is an
improvement on the custom in the east, which requires that lumber
shall be sawn and seasoned at the sawmill and shipped thence to the
planing mills and woodworking factories for further manufacture.

British Columbia manufacturers receive many enquiries and or-
ders for a certain number of pieces and finished of dressed lumber of
certain specified lengths, for instance:—flooring or ceiling will be
ordered all 16 feet long, or so many pieces 10’s, so many pieces 12’s,
14’s and 16’s. This system is even carried out to the mouldings, in-
creasing tenfold the difficulty of filling the order, with no particular
advantage to the buyer. 2

Matters of this kind will be pointed out forcibly in the revised
grading rules and an endeavor will be made not only to standardize
the B. C. finished sizes, but to make them correspond as much as
possible with the rules and regulations governing other large lumber
associations, the idea being that in the course of time Pacific Coast
sizes and grades will be uniform. The revised rules will also point
out the particular grades that buyers should use for particular work.
For instance, a short time ago a contractor in B. C. was buying buf-
fers for a large scow. The architect specified the best clear Douglas
fir timber. It would have been much better to have specified good
No. 1 common grade, with plenty of knots to prevent a tendency to
split.

Similarly, in the matter of shop lumber for panels and door and
window manufacture, the size and nature of the defects are of no par-
ticular importance, provided the lumber is clear between them; so
that a fir board, not fit even for shiplap or No. 2 common boards,
might be very desirable for door panels. In the same way, it is easily
understood that, in connection with flooring, the length of the piece
is not nearly so important as the grade.

Generally, the revised grading rules are intended to supply full
and definite information to the retail dealer so that he may advise ‘his
customers exactly what is best for them to buy for the particular
work they have in hand.

This work of drawing up grading rules is by no means a simple
matter. Widely varying interests are affected so closely that only the
most thorough enquiry into all the circumstances will result in
serviceable rules. It usually takes a luniber association anywhere from
six to twelve months to gather the necessary information for com-
piling a proper set of grading rules-—Geo. B. Cross.

A Modern Paper Plant for Ocean Falls

Lewis Bloch, formerly of San Francisco, will have charge of the
installation of the paper mill which is being established in connection
with Pacific Mills, at Ocean Falls, B. C., by the Fleischacker and
Johnson interests of San Francisco, which also control the Crown
Willamette paper mills in Oregon. The Ocean Falls proposition, re-
presenting an investment of $3,250,000, was promoted some years

eet aise

ago by Lester W. David, of Seattle. It includes 60,000 acres of ti
ber, much of which is suitable for pulp paper purposes; a sawmil
with a cutting capacity of 400,000 feet of lumber a day; and a moder
pulp paper plant. ; :
Business Commission Going to Europe

In the House of Commons recently Sir George Foster, Minister 0
Trade and Commerce, announced that a Commission of business r ne
had been appointed by the Government to visit the United Kingdo
France and Belgium, with the object of investigating opportuniti
for extending Canadian trade in those countries. The Commissiot
which will be an honorary one, will consist of Mr. Jas. W. Woo
Toronto, former president of the Toronto Board of Trade; Theo,
Wardleworth and Frank Pauze, of Montreal; H. E. Duper, Quet
P: Q.; Frank H. Hatheway, St. John, N. B., and Geo. Allan, W:
peg. Mr. Frank Pauze is well known to the lumber trade in Mon
as a member of the firm of U. Pauze and Son, sash and door m: nu
turers, Montreal. He is already in France, having gone there al
a month ago as a representative of the Canadian Timber Pre
Association. It is expected that the Commission will all hav
sembled in Europe by midsummer. a

B. C. Shingles to be Standardized
Manufacturers and Government Adopt Plan for St ping
Grades on Bundles—The New Rules

Mr. Joseph Chew, Vancouver, B.C., visited Eastern Canada
cently and called upon a number of his old friends in the trade.
Chew reports that the shingle manufacturers of British Columbia
have recently adopted an important reform in connection with the
grading of B. C. shingles. Realizing the necessity for standard and
dependable grades, the manufacturers have drawn up a set of ru
which have been agreed to’by the association, and the British Colu
bia Government has consented to assist in standardizing these grad
by appointing inspectors and furnishing an official stamp for identi-
fying the grades. These stamps are to be furnished to manufacturers
who join in the movement. The manufacturers will do their own
inspecting and grading, and the Government inspectors will watch
the grading of all manufacturers who use the Government stamps.
‘Any manufacturer placing the stamps upon shingles that will not
stand the inspection is to be liable to a fine of $100 for the first
offence and more serious punishment for further offences.

The grading rules which are thus officially established by the
manufacturers and the Government are.as follows :—

ame Provinces all increased their production of lumber.
osing of the Baltic ports and the interruption of the lumber
with Scandinavia resulted in an increased export trade in this

Canada’s lumber-producing trees are largely softwoods and lum-
ber of this description formed 93.2 per cent. of the total, practically
the same proportion as in 1913. In the production of this class of-
lumber Quebec leads. British Columbia cuts more softwood than
Ontario although its total production of lumber is less. In Quebec,
the Maritime Provinces and the Prairie Provinces the most important
softwood is spruce. In Ontario white pine has always headed the
list and in British Columbia, Douglas fir.

Ontario is the most important hardwood-producing province, cut-
ting over twice as much as Quebec which comes seéond on the list.
The other provinces in order of their importance as producers of hard-
wood are as follows: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia,
Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. In
Quebec and the three Maritime Provinces birch is the most important
hardwood. In Ontario maple heads the list and in the three Prairie
Provinces aspen poplar. Cottonwood poplar is the most important
deciduous-leaved tree in British Columbia.

The Reader’s Viewpoint on Current Topics

Concensus of Opinion Inclines Toward an Optimistic But Cautious View of Trade Outlook

Future Prospect Undoubtedly Encouraging
Editor Canada Lumberman:— North Tonawanda, N. Y.

It is a well-known fact that students of trade, and financial statisticians
agree that trade rises and falls as do the tides, and that action and reaction
in trade are substantially equal except that there is a little more prosperity
than depression, owing to the gradually increasing wealth of the world.

Since the early part of 1907, the lumbermen have hardly had a fair share
of prosperity. While there have been a few moderately bright spots, the
first real sunshine came with the recent rise, starting in the fall of 1914. While
lumber, particularly southern product, has advanced sharply, the manufacturer
is not making more than a fair profit at the present time, certainly not an
exorbitant one. Large owners of timber at the present time are perhaps only
making a fair interest rate on their investment.

It would seem that at least two or three years of substantial prosperity
would little more than make up for the depression of previous years, which
was most acute in 1914, and the early part of 1915. ~

Lumber is a crop, much the same as grain, and owing to the heavy snows

of the past winter, and the fact that there have been comparatively few new -

operations started, there will likely not be an over-production of lumber for
some time to come. For these reasons we look on the future as extremely
bright, particularly so for the people who are fortunate enough to live on
this North American Continent.

Our firm, Smith, Fassett & Company, manufacture spruce in New Ontario
and at Lumsdens Mills. We have been in the white pine business in Tona-
wanda for forty years, and are interested in some southern plants, manufactur-
ing yellow pine. We find practically the same conditions exist in these dif-
ferent localities.

We feel that the moderate rise in price of lumber is certainly warranted.
We base this opinion largely on the experience of the companies in which
we are interested.

Some of the eastern lumber dealers, particularly those supplying the
Atlantic coast, have been more or less distressed with the idea that the
Pacific coast would be a serious competitor on account of the low freights
made possible by the Panama Canal. While the west coast is bound to be a
competitor of eastern manufacturers, we do not regard this competition as
at all serious for the present, as, for some time to come freights will be prac-
tically as high by water as by rail.

The west coast is having a heavy demand for its material from Pacific
coast and foreign sources, and the introduction of these woods in the east
is still in its infancy. Their increase will probably be compensated for by
the decreased ‘production of Atlantic coast manufacturers. Then too, the
recent experiences of manufacturers in the west, and the record of the past
few years, will probably not encourage investors for some time to come.

When we get back to normal freight rates on the ocean, and ships are
available for the transport of lumber from Vancouver or western states to
Atlantic coast ports, these freights will probably range in the neighborhood
of $12 and can only be done at this price on ships carrying upwards of three
million feet. This will necessitate redistribution at some Atlantic coast port,
and the expense incident will tend to equalize the difference between low
water rates and what we are now paying by rail, and the education of eastern
people for the more generous use of the western woods will undoubtedly be
delayed for some time.

To summarize—we believe that the amount of lumber in sight at the
present time is unusually small. The manufacturing capacity has not increased
in recent years. We have a good deal to make up in the way of profits, and
the foreign demand for lumber will continue for some time after the war.

Therefore, the future, in our opinion, is undoubtedly a hopeful one.—

Smith, Fassett & Company.

Co-operation By Unionism

Editor Canada Lumberman: Grand Forks, B.C.

The manufacturers of lumber today realize more fully than ever before
the needs of a wider market for the relief of the industry. Other industries
are a success solely because there are organizations binding together the
manufacturers and dealers. No other industry in Canada is more important
to the general public than the lumber industry, and if an organization along
union lines were consummated general benefit would accrue to the greatest
number of the people. Such an organization would be of particular benefit
to the province of British Columbia, especially if formed of all manufac-
turers and the dealers west of the Great Lakes. Its success would be immedi-
ately apparent if a twofold policy were adopted; Service to the lumberman
and service to the public. :

An organization could only be a success when it increased the profits of
its members and at the same time resulted to the good of the public.

Price combination should be avoided.

going to have a very serious effect on the outcome of some drives,

The aim of the union should be the standardization of material and work-
ing conditions, to increase the efficiency of its members by discussion and
inspiration, to limit the production of certain kinds and grades, to use every
legitimate means for reducing costs by speeding up, to conserve the timbe
to plan trade economies, to keep down the overhead, etc. io

It would also be necessary to have the right men at the head of tl
Union. A governing board should be appointed consisting of the past pre
dents and vice-presidents of the smaller associations. As a rule, men do ne
receive these prominent positions from their respective associations with
being amply qualified. The greater number of them started in the indus
lumber jacks or mill kaborers and have become owners of successfu
tutions, either as manufacturers or dealers. The majority of the m
turers have a thorough knowledge of the mechanical requirements, bu
slack on buying and selling. The meetings of the smaller associatio
the board would give the members the inspiration to develop along
lines, to realize the value of team work, to learn to advertise efficien
effectively, and to become efficient merchants who understand thorou
both ends of the industry. : J

The needs of co-operation along the lines of unionism are apparent, if
carried out along the lines enumerated above. The manufacturers
something must be done and if the dealers of the west would join with |
the success of the industry would be assured permanently. Let us |

A budget of comment presented in the interest of public welfare, independent
of party politics and with malice toward no one.

So many pages of reports about the fuse investigation at Ottawa have
been published by the daily press that most of us have had a hard time get-
ting at the bottom.of the thing, particularly when we found that whatever
newspaper we read served the thing up to‘us with a strong party. flavoring.
During the last few days when some of the real parties to the contracts have
been in the witness box, a good deal of definite information has been brought
out, showing that there was ground for the suspicions held by the public
about the. way in which the contracts were handled. During the first few
days of the inyestigation, however, and even up to the present, I have not
been able to get rid of an idea that the whole thing is being staged and that
the effect of the proceedings upon the public mind is being considered far more

‘definitely than the importance of unearthing any irregularities that may have

been going on before the investigation commenced. I am still in doubt whe-
ther the investigation, is being conducted in the direct interests of those who
are most concerned in having the facts made public, or whether its chief ob-
jects are to, look after the interests of some other people.

The Canadian manufacturer is the man who has most at stake in this
besiness, and don’t you think that, both as a tenderer for contracts and as a
witness before the Commission, a Canadian manufacturer has been given a
pretty raw deal? After the way in which Mr. Lloyd Harris states that he
was treated by the Shell Committee, being turned down and discouraged
when seeking contracts, and being advised to see Col. J. Wesley Allison,
I.was expecting to see him handled rather sympathetically by the members
of the Commission. What do you think the Commission has been appointed
for? Is the object to find out whether contracts have been improperly let and
whether Canadian manufacturers have been passed over in favor of United
States manufacturers?

There must be a lot of Canadians who felt hot under the collar when they
read the report of the manner in which Commissioner Meredith handled Mr.
Lloyd Harris, when the latter was giving’ evidence to the effect ot cot
Carnegie told him to sée Allison about fuse contracts.’

“How in the world can you square your evidence that he (Col. Carnegie)
dishonestly prevented you from getting a contract with the statement that
he is an honorable man,’ asked Commissioner Meredith of Mr. Lloyd Harris.
“The only thing I could think of was that influences peat been beaut bet to
bear” was Mr. Harris’ réply. °

“To force an horiorable man to do a dishonorable act, do you think that
is comprehensible?” “It does not seem so, but it is the only way I can ex-
plain it.” ree ; ;

“Then your theory is that Col. Carnegie was honest, but was forced to do
something against his better judgment?”’ “Yes.” 5

Sir Wm. Meredith: “Let us call a spade a spade.
did you not think: you had a high public duty to bring it out?”
to the Prime Minister.”

“Why did you not bring it out publicly?” ‘Because I would not take the
responsibility of bringing it up while the war was on.” :

“Was the secret this, you were looking for a contract?” “No, it was not.”

Is this the kind of treatment that a Commissioner appointed by the Gov-
ernment is expected to hand out to a reputable Canadian? ~The only thing I
regret is that Mr. Harris was calm enough not to give back as much as he
got. However, the whole affair looks’ so much as if it is in the hands of a
stage manager, that it would probably have done no good even if Mr. Lloyd
Harris had got off a little indignation when it was insinuated that motives of
business cunning prompted his course, rather than motives of patriotism.
Commissioner Meredith, moreover, is the same man who a few days previous
had takeri upon himself to read a‘lecture upon politeness to Mr. E. F. B.
Johnston, who represents the interests of the public. ;

There is a definite contradiction between Col. Carnegie’s evidence and
that of Mr. Lloyd Harris. Col. Carnegie said that he had not referred Mr.
Lloyd Harris to Col. Allison. In view of the direct statement of ‘Mr. Lloyd
Harris to the contrary, it looks to me as though the evidence upon this point,
on which so much depends, will fit in best with Mr. Harris’ statement, by
the time the investigation has closed. But no matter what may be the fact
in this connection, or how different the Commissionet’s opinion as to a man’s
duty to his country may be from yours or mine, a witness of Mr. Harris’
standing is entitled to freedom from such’ treatment as Commissioner Meredith
handed out to him. If the findings of the Commission are to have any weight
with the people of Canada, the behavior of its members towards respectable
witnesses will have to be improved.

86 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

Logging by railroad is not car-
ried on in Eastern Canada to any-
thing like the same extent as in
Western Canada, but it is in some
localities an important feature in
connection with logging opera-
tions. The chief reason for the
installation of a logging railroad
in Eastern Canada, as a rule, is
the fact that it permits a mill to
make a clean cutting of its limits,
taking out both the hard and soft
woods, and also makes it possible
to carry on operations throughout the year, instead of confining them
to logging in the winter and sawing in the summer.
makes a logging railroad, when other conditions render it feasible,
a valuable asset in connection with a sawmill. Not only are the
expenses per thousand feet of logging and sawing reduced by the
increased output rendered possible, but a manufacturer is also enabled
to serve his market much more promptly and satisfactorily. He is
able, like the manufacturers in the Southern States, to take out special
orders : that is to say, when a certain line of stock is required in a
hurry he can send an order to the woods and have the logs cut and
shipped into the mill in a very short time. The fact that a mill is
thus in a position to turn out practically anything promptly, makes
its appeal to the wholesaler and consuming trade far more definite
and interesting. However, it is possible by means of a logging rail-
road, to take out not only the soft woods and the hard woods, but
also wood and pulp from tops and from the small trees which are
ordinarily left in logging operations.

Roughly speaking these are the chief features in connection with
the operation of a logging railroad in Eastern Canada. When one
comes to contrast the conditions rendered possible in this manner,
with those existing in connection with a plant whose logs are received
entirely by water the advantages of the logging railroad are all the
more apparent. It must be borne in mind, however, that when speak-
ing of the advantages of a logging railroad, it is not being suggested
that this method of logging should supersede the method of log driv-
ing by water. It is only under certain definite conditions that the
logging railroad in Eastern Canada is feasible, and only in such cases
will the advantages which are referred to in this article exist. By way
of contrast, take the case of a mill which receives its logs by a water
route. In most cases, in practically all cases in fact, these logs will
be soft woods only. Such hardwoods as are received in these mills
have to be hauled to the mill on sleighs, or in some cases they are
specially wired up to soft wood logs for the water drive. Unless
the hardwood logs are thus secured, the proposition resolves itself
into one of taking a portable mill to the logs or leaving the hard woods
standing. The portable mill proposition, of course, is an extra one
standing upon its own basis as a matter of expense, so that to all
intents and purposes, unless the hardwood logs are brought in by
railroad, the soft wood logs have to bear the whole burden of operat-
ing expenses. In the matter of cost of operation it must be remem-
bered that large operators who drive their logs by water are obliged
to keep sufficient logs cut ahead, for from one to three years in ad-
vance, in order to make sure that they will have sufficient stock. for
the annual output of their mill. Thus they continually have a large
investment lying practically idle, upon which they will realize nothing
for some years. When a logging railroad is operated, this source
of operating expense is greatly reduced. At the most, it is necessary
only to keep one year’s output ahead, and in some cases logs are
hauled to the mill as fast as they are cut in the woods and the outlay
invested in logs is never extensive. Under these conditions the oper-
ator is able to realize on his investment much more quickly.

A Stimulus To Economical Sawing

An important point in connection with operations carried on by
means of a railroad is the efficiency that can be developed in connec-
tion with securing the utmost possible in the way of good stock from
each log. It is possible, and is a frequent practice, to ship the trees
from the woods to the mill pond in their full length, so that they can
be cut into separate logs at the mill pond to the best advantage for
filling such orders as are on hand. This enables the manufacturer

to obtain a better price for the product of his logs than if they
cut into shorter logs in the woods.

In considering the advantages of railroad logging one
bear in mind the fact that in connection with river drives, ¢
on narrow, awkward streams, one is certain to lose a definite
centage of hardwood logs that sink, either when they become v
logged, or when they break away from the soft woods to which
are wired. It is also almost impossible to drive long logs in n
streams, as they block the streams and sometimes cause a g
of trouble and expense by starting a jam. All of these difficultie
avoided by the operation of a logging railroad. 5

In Eastern Canada the construction of a logging railroad 1
vary considerably in cost, according to the nature of the cou
For instance, the grading of the roadbed will cost anything fra
per mile under the most favorable conditions, to about $2,000 p
in mountainous country. Probably an average cost would be
$1,700 per mile. This cost should provide a standard roadh
the grades and cuts, of course, would not be standard. A’
railroad is generally built for the sole purpose of handfing 1
as little expense as possible, and it is therefore not necessary
in for such guarantees of efficiency as are necessary in conne
with a railroad for ordinary traffic. The cost of railroad ties, fe
stance, is likely to be very small, comparatively speaking, in
tion with a logging road. Asa rule the ties can be made along
of the roadbed. The average cost per tie laid down on the roz
is probably in the neighborhood of 12 cents each. The compar,

right, it is generally possible to purchase second-hand ‘rails w
suit the requirements fully. The weight of the rail will, of course
depend entirely upon the weight of the locomotives which are to b

operated upon the road. "

Equipment of a Logging Railroad

In the matter of equipment, much will depend upon the gre
the road. .Where steep grades are encountered the general pr
is to use a geared type of locomotive. Geared locomotives a
built for speed. Their chief characteristic is their capability of
ing heavy logs on very steep grades. The ost of a geared
motive will vary according to its weight, and will be anywhere
$6,000 to $12,000.’ For shipping the logs the Brattice j is to use
flat or logging cars. The flat cars are best sttited for hauling |
logs, but the logging cars are the best for short logs. The
cars will vary from $400 to $800 each; the higher price bei
steel cars. An important piece of equipment, in connection it

ground to the cars. Steam loaders are of yee and they »
greatly in price. With a crew of three ment ey are caps
handling about one thousand logs per day, which makes the 2
cost of the handling per thousand feet comparatively small. |

The above points are the principal ones to be taken int
sideration when one is considering whether or, not to install al
railroad. There are, of course, other very definite factors wh
come into play. For instance, before one even considers dew
of logging it will be necessary to estimate the amount of timb

be the cost per thousand feet. Taking into consideration

quite evident when one makes enquiry of those who are already con-
ducting their operations in this manner. We recently had reason to
make fairly extensive enquiry among those who are conducting log-
ging railroads in Ontario and Quebec. The reports we received
showed that some firms were meeting with much success while others
were finding the difficulties in connection with this work so great as
to discourage them. The point which this difference of opinion
emphasizes is that one cannot make too careful a study of the condi-
tions involved in connection with a given, operation, before deciding
to install a logging railroad.

In this connection, it is interesting to note that a prominent oper-
ator in the province of Quebec reports that, generally speaking, where
there are drivable streams, railroad logging should not be considered.
In railroad operation, he says, cars have to be loaded either by team or
steam, and in order to keep’a mill of 75,000 feet per ten hour day
capacity in operation it will be necessary to have two locomotives, if
the length of line is anything up to about 25 miles.

The same operator discussing the question of fuel, states that the
chief consideration under this heading is the fire risk, and the solution
of the matter must depend entirely upon the condition of the right
of way. lf one were considering “Safety First” he would use fuel oil,
the next best fuel from this point of view would be coal, and the next,
wood. If one were considering only the cost, the best: fuel would be
wood, the second best coal, and the third best oil.

The same operator gives a good piece of advice in regard to em-
ployees. Locomotive drivers, firemen and brakemen, he says, are a
very important factor in logging by railroad. Incompetent men who
neglect the boilers cause deterioration in the fire box and the tubes.
Moreoyer, they have a similar effect upon the machinery of the loco-
motive and are a source of great expense.

' Referring to track construction this operator reports that the

pense for up-keep and results in excessive wear and tear of mach-
inery, to say nothing of being a prolific source of expense. Roughly

ment that would be necessary in districts where there is a consider-
able snowfall is a wing plough, also a flanger. Sometimes, even with
the best possible equipment, it is a very difficult undertaking to keep
the road operating in winter.

This operator’s conclusion, which he has reached after conduct-
ing logging operations with almost every kind of equipment, both in
the east and on the Pacific Coast is interesting. He says that he has
no hesitation in advising that logging by rail “is the court of last
resort in the east.”

We would like other readers of the Canada Lumberman, who
have had experience with logging railroads, send us their views in
connection with this subject.

Logging by Rail—Few Pointers

Good Roadbed and Skilled Operators Essential—The Log

Loader’s Importance
By R. S. P. Smyth*

On the Pacific Coast, 25 years ago, most of the lumbermen were
getting their logs to the rafting ground with oxen, but they were
skinning along the shore, generally going a mile or so back, using
skid-roads, and bringing their logs in “trains,” that is, one dogged
to the other, greasing the notch in the skids on the levels and sanding
it on the down grades. Those were the days when the bull-puncher
was king and the best paid man in the camp. The lumberman was
making money under these conditions. Then came the donkey en-
gines, roaders and yarders—and these are largely used even today.
However, there was timber beyond the reach of the roader and yarder,
so the locomotive and rail came in. As the years go by there will be
more locomotives and longer rails, and fewer roaders, but the yarder
has to be used to feed the locomotive business.

In the east, the nature of the timber and the circumstances of

the logging operations have made logging methods a very different
proposition from that of the Pacific coast. In eastern Canada, horses
have been and still are the mainstay of the logging camp, hauling
the logs from the stump to the stream. In the spring, when the fresh-
ets come, the logs are driven to the mill with the help of the reckless,
hard-working, hard- -living river drivers.

Railways as logging propositions direct from the woods to the
mill have not found many locations in eastern Canada. There is
good reason for this, because, generally, logs can be hauled much
cheaper by horse and rail. In localities where there is an abundance
of hardwood, with a long distance haul, the rail is a necessity, but
it comes high.

The roadbed of a logging railroad is one of its most important
elements. If a good grade of rail is used and good ties, the initial
cost will be high, but if a cheap grade of rail and cheap ties are used,
the up-keep bill on road and machinery will be heavy all the time,
to say nothing of the cost of accidents which are certain to result.
Even with good roadbed, accidents will occur: A solid roadbed with
good ties and fairly heavy rail, eliminating as far as possible all heavy
grades and curves, makes the cheapest road if it is to be used for
several years. The right-of-way should be cleared at least thirty feet,
and all slash should be burned clean. Where wood, coal or oil is
being used as fuel there is always danger of fire, and naturally more
danger where the slash lies along the right-of-way.

Where easy grades and few curves can be made, the switching
type of engine is probably the best, but where heavy grades and curves
cannot be avoided, a good geared type of locomotive will be best.
From forty to sixty tons seems to be about the size of locomotive
that finds most favor.

Only one kind of engineer is good for the aie business, and
that is the best. The engineer has practically all the responsibility of
keeping his engine and boiler in shape. There is no roundhouse
equipment, as with a traffic road, and all depends on how much care
the engineer gives to his engine. In fact, the skill of the engineer
will have a great deal to do with the cost of up-keep.

Bearing in mind the usual length of log made in eastern Canada,
the 34-foot car is preferable to the shorter logging car. There are
two trucks to keep in order in any case. Cars must be rigged with
tumbling stakes on one side at least. With the 34-foot car, the log
loader that travels over the-car is the best type. Fixed rails can be
laid over the cars for the log loader, thus saving considerable time in
shifting, as compared with shifting rail sections. In any case the car
without platform is best, as it does not accumulate snow and bark.

The log operator is a very important man in connection with rail-
road logging operations. He must know how to handle his machinery,
so as to get the best out of it. He must always be quick and cool,
and have eyes in the back of his head to prevent accidents to men
and machinery. It pays to get the best man for this job, no matter
what his price may be.

A Douglas fir timber of such immense strength that it broke the
testing machine at Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, Ore., is
mentioned in a report recently made by Mr. O. P. M. Goss, consult-
ing engineer of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association. The ma-
chine gave way and its base broke squarely off at a point indicating
a pressure of 67,000 pounds. The timber did not show the slightest
indication of failure although its load, figured on the basis of the modu-
lus of rupture, was in excess of 6,630 pounds to the square inch.
While this is not a record of strength for a Douglas fir timber, it is
causing considerable speculation among engineers familiar with the
circumstances,

British Columbia Logging Along the C.P.R.

Conditions Prevailing and Methods in

Use in Coast and Mountain Districts

Described by One of the Railway Company’s Staff

It has been said “The timber

of British Columbia is to that

' province what the wheat is to the

prairie provinces.” Both are pro-

ducts of the soil, and as long as

the soil fertility is conserved the
crop is assured.

In British Columbia, standing
timber is the one ready source
of revenue to the pioneering
farmer, who makes a home for
himself out of the forested re-
gions. The sale of forest products
obtained, such as cedar telegraph
poles, saw logs, ties, fence posts,
shingle bolts, cordwood, etc., pro-

‘ vides the homesteader with a
working capital which eventually
puts him on his feet, and spans
over the lean years of develop-
ment and soil preparation.

In the last analysis the harvest-
ing and production of wood in
British Columbia is the greatest
and most permanent industry of that province. Every mine has a
measurable existence, but so long as Nature provides the mineral
and vegetable soil, great forests will clothe the hills and valleys of
the west slope of the Rockies.

» There is in British Columbia to-day a capital resource of four
hundred billion feet of merchantable timber. At the present rate of
cutting this would last over 200 years. The interest, or increment,
maturing every year is five billion feet—more than enough to supply
the needs of all Canada. The wood wealth of British Columbia is
believed to be twenty times that of Alberta, Saskatchewan and

Manitoba.

As British Columbia looks to the three great provinces of central
Canada for their foodstuffs, so must these provinces look eventually,
and for all time, to the Pacific province to supply them with wood to
build their houses, barns, granaries, piggeries, etc.

And why should not that same sentiment which prompts Canada
to support the Empire with her men and money, stimulate those who
remain at home to carry on business as usual, to economize, con-
serve and utilize the nation’s natural timber resources so that the

prosperity, and so

build up the Empire.
In order to serve the needs of the natural market (the prairies ),

there has been invested in British Columbia three billion dollars in

timber holdings, logging plants and sawmills. These plants, under
normal conditions, distribute per year nearly $30,000,000 in wages ;
le sale in transportation, and $6,000,000 in supplies. The para-

Sahil (MIN ROS

mount position of this forest in-
dustry cannot be stated too often,
nor in too strong terms. It opens
up new districts, brings employ-
ment, transportation, cleans the
land, furnishes the markets for
the settler, and brings into the
country the wealth upon which
other industries are supported.

The ‘Government of — British
Columbia, under the leadership of
Sir Richard McBride, in 1912 in-
augurated a most efficient forest
administration which is respons-
ible for the perpetuation and pro-
tection of the forest resources.
The fire prevention problem has
now been practically solved. The
inventory of the timber areas is
well under way and permanent
plans are now in formation for
the production of perpetual tim-
ber crops for future generations.

The Canadian Pacific Railway,
as a private corporation, is the pioneer in this movement, and the
company has demonstrated its sincerity and interest in the future of
British Columbia by putting under forest management nearly 600,000
acres of timberland. The greater number of the 395 sawmills in Brit-
ish Columbia are located on the C. P. R. and no doubt the importance
of establishing the lumber industry on a permanent basis led this
great public utility to take active and concrete steps along the lines
of forestry practice. This was emphasized by the fact that the largest
percentage of merchantable timber in the province is on and tributary
to it. The C. P. R. for many years have confined the purchase of
their immense timber requirements in the west to producers in British
Columbia and the west, and this policy of buying at home is now in
force all over the system.

The every-day problem occurring in the exploitation of the great
timber resources of British Columbia cannot be appreciated by the
average buyer of lumber who draws up to the lumber yard and
calmly and easily loads his wagon, but to those engaged in getting
the logs from the forest to the mill, it is serious battle with the. forces
of nature. No two operations present the same difficulties, and for
that reason many different principles are in use, from the flying
machine on the coast to the one horse sloop back in the mountains.

The history of lumbering in British Columbia is an interesting
one, and it is unfortunate that much of its early history is not av ail-
able to the public.

There are two main fields of action which have dev eloped more
or less independently of each other :—

ue CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

(1) The Coast Zone..of the Pacific Coast, not more than fifty
miles deep, and west of the Coast Mountain Range. This is the region
of the Great Douglas Fir and gigantic Cedar.

(2) All of the Interior of B. C. east of the Coast Ranges, and
west of the Main Rockies. The forest of this region is a mixed one,
depending for composition on the rainfall and elevation. The principal
lumber species are Douglas fir, Western soft pine, spruce, larch and
cedar.

Coast Zone of the Pacific Slope

The lumber industry had its beginning in this region in 1827-28,
when Dr. McLaughlin, Chief Factor of the Hudson’s Bay Company,
erected and operated the first sawmill at Vancouver, Washington.

In the early days, oxen and horses were the means of transporta-
tion, but this method was far too slow and as the timber became re-
moved from tidewater, more efficient and expeditious methods became
necessary. The attention of the resourceful pioneers in the logging
business was soon directed to steam, and to within the last three or
four years this power was almost exclusively used. As the industry
was a large and active one in the Puget Sound region years before
our own Pacific Coast was tapped by the C. P. R., the methods in
use there were then adopted en bloc by our own operators. This was
indeed fortunate, for many years of experiment and failure were
necessary before the use of steam mechanical] devices were economical.
The universal steam power machinery used to handle the gigantic
sticks is the steam donkey in connection with hoisting drums. After
the trees have been felled, swamped, and bucked, the logs are yarded
by cable to the actual loading point, often a railroad, and loaded on
cars, thence by rail to the mill or water.

The method of donkey skidding held supreme until the advent of
overhead logging about seven years ago. The principle is the use
of an overhead cableway stretched between a tail tree at some dis-
tance out from the track, and a head spar tree located at the donkey
which is equipped with drums, etc., at the loading point on the track.
On the main cable runs a carriage consisting of a double travelling
block and supplied with loading lines, tongues or chokers. The car-
riage is played rapidly to and fro between tail tree and head spar
tree by the skidding rope and the outhaul rope. The skidding rope is
fed out, the log tongued or grabbed, and pulled in rapidly to the
loading point, where it is loaded on the cars. The cost of this method
is one-third less than donkey logging. 5

The tremendous advantage of steam apparatus is very apparent
when one considers that 40,000 to 50,000 feet skidded per day is the
average for a modern aerial logging rig, as compared with 10,000 to
15,000 for a horse camp. There are many modifications of the system,
but the overhead principle is the same.

When timber was plentiful immediately on tidewater “hand log-
ging” operations were common in British Columbia. The crudest bull
work methods were used. Elbow grease and gravity were the only
forces in operation. However, these methods are practically gone to-
day, and the steam skidding donkey and the aerial cableway system
are largely in use. The application of electricity will eventually, no
doubt, become important.

To transport the logs to tidewater standard gauge railroads are.

generally in use. Geared locomotives haul out the logs, on especially
constructed cars equipped with standard appliances, to the log dump
pier on the water. A steam operated trip line unloads the cars in
quick order.

In this region with the possibility of reaching any or all of the
mills established on tidewater, a definite log-market is available at
all times of the year.

_ There are many independent operators who cut and sell their
logs in the open market, or contract their cut to the sawmills. How-
ever, many of the lumber manufacturers operate their camps.

Owing to the ravages of the toredo (marine boring worm), large
reserves of logs are not created, and as a usual thing, the cutting
follows closely the supply and demand.

Conditions in the logging industry at the Coast have become
largely standardized in the past few years. However, owing to the
diversity of conditions in interior British Columbia the same is not
true. :
Interior British Columbia Logging Methods

In this region the industry is largely centred on the main line
and branches of the Canadian Pacific Railway, although with the
opening of thé other two transcontinentals some plants are now be-
ing established in the north.

Practically all the operators conduct their own logging opera-
tions. All of the work, from ‘making the roads, felling the trees,
transporting to the mill, manufacturing and loading onto cars, is done
by the lumber company. However, a few of the lumber companies
have found that it is more economical to contract the felling, skidding
and watering. Small jobs ranging from 100,000 feet to 6,000,000 feet,
are contracted for to responsible jobbers who work themselves. The
more successful tenderers are, as a rule, of Scandinavian origin. They
are very reliable, hardy and resourceful,

_ The influence of Eastern Canadian methods is more marked in
this region, owing, no doubt, to the more frequent and easier travel
east and west than north and south. Possibly the closer approxima-
tion in the size of the timber has had something to do with this also.
However, the difference is nevertheless broad and is largely of a pro-
gressive character in favor of the west. “4

As in the east, wherever possible, advantage is taken of
transportation in getting the logs to the mill. However, drivin

In the development of piers for storage purposes, silt has to
reckoned with, and repeated dredging is necessary to keep the
clean. ‘

Railroad Transportation

Railroad logging has many advantages, particularly when
question of tying up a large capital in logs and other raw wood pr
ducts is considered. The initial outlay is rather large, particularl
rolling stock, rails and ties. Geared locomotives are used and 30
50 pound steel. The cost varies from $1,500 to $5,000 per mile, d
pendent, of course, on the ground. In winter logging, where

An Outline of Its Recent History—Growth of the Pulp and
Paper End—The Settler’s Mistakes*

‘One of the economic problems that has never been satisfa
settled is that of the regulation of the pulpwood traffic. App:
government executives have never been of the same mind
subject, as legislation regarding it has been variable. hai

In the early history of paper making in Canada, about —
around the time of the formation of the now justly famous L
Paper Company, some of the large paper companies in the
States purchased extensive timber limits in Canada, princi
Quebec, and their purchases represented most of the available
limits at that time. It is creditable to provincial governmen
with one exception, the writer knows of no limits sold to spec
and in that instance the purchasers had all the earmarks of |
operators. The purpose of these purchases was undoubte
the American mills of the purchasers amply supplied with
their home supply was exhausted, or to assist in consei
limits in the United States. ns

The idea was that at an opportune time these limits w
operated on, and the wood in its manufactured state would
by boat or rail to the American mill, where there was pl
power. The American manufacturers had in mind further
to their plants and to build new plants in the United States, b
ing the wood from Canada. *

It was not believed that Canadian mills for the manuf.
pulp and paper could be operated economically enough t
with American mills. After several mills had been in op

In 1914 we exported more wood pulp made in Canada from pulp-
wood than in previous years; nevertheless, the quantity of pulpwood
was only one-third, which means that the remaining two-thirds was
manufactured into newsprint. Of the one-third pulp, one-fourth was
chemical pulp, taking a higher value than ground wood; therefore,
our figures for 1914 are now as follows :—

This total of $37,000,000 represents the value to Canada at the

If you will refer to the figures above you will note that 1,224,376
cords in 1914 were used in Canada in manufacturing pulp and paper.
In addition to that we exported 972,508 cords, for which we only re-
ceived approximately: $6,680,000, whereas had it been manufactured —
into ground wood pulp it would have been worth $14,587,620. If all
had been manufactured into pulp it would have been worth about
$35,000,000, an increase over what we received for it of just $28,300,000.

Pulpwood is usually purchased by American mills through an
accredited pulpwood dealer. Settlers or jobbers are always safer in
dealing with regular accredited dealers than with an unknown _per-
son, who professes to have contracts to place.

The Position of the Settler

The Northern Ontario settler suffered unnecessary misfortune
for this reason during the winter of 1914-15, as, when the prohibition

. was taken off, a number of speculators rushed in and made contracts

with settlers. When the settler had his wood ready the speculator
had vanished because he had discovered he could not place the wood
he had contracted for, or else he had permitted the settler to cut
wood that was unsatisfactory to the final buyer. Settlers, jobbers, or
contractors can always secure a list of actual buyers and also a list
of accredited pulpwood dealers from the railroads. The T. &. N. O.,
G. T. R., C. P. R., are posted on this for Ontario wood, and the
OUS Esty, CNSR, GB Po amc. ©. tor Onebec.

The contractor should also have a contract stating specifically
how the wood should be cut, exact length, the maximum, diameter,
and, most important of all, have it specifically stated what conditions
will cause rejection. Never leave anything to be understood, have
everything in the contract. The reason for this is that there is a con-
tinuous discord between the buyer and seller over rejections, quality,
etc. Invariably the final buyer wants to be fair, but he absolutely
cannot afford to pay long freight hauls and good prices for wood that
is inferior, contains rot, is knotty, undersized, short or long in length,
etc. He has his manufacturing conditions to study and cannot afford
to accept what he does not buy. The seller, on the other hand, in-
variably feels that “wood is wood,” and does not follow the buyers’
specifications or does not understand them.

-There is a reasonable profit to be made in pulpwood by the set-
tler if he will only learn to study the requirements of his actual buyer,
conform to his contract, and do business with responsible and known
buyers, because, in that way he will save himself rejections and loss
Pulpwood is
spruce only; jackpine, balsam, and some other woods may be used to
a certain extent with spruce as pulpwood, but it is not pulpwood,
except as may be agreed upon between buyer and seller.

Two Policies in Connection with the Relation of the Employer to the Employee—
_The Old and the New Methods j

By A. M.

tribution and fixing our thoughts upon that most vital element
in production, labor, it may not be altogether profitless to con-

- sider some of the principles which govern the organization and
management of the working force. In order to do this intelligently
we must consider men both individually and in the mass. The psy-
chological attitude of the average man differs radically when acting
individually, from his activities in connection with his fellows. A
man is steadier, more dependable, more open to the influence of rea-
son when acting individually than when associated with his fellows.
He has more balance and poise and is more inclined to see condi-
tions from the standpoint of his employer. The average employee
moves in the direction from which the greatest force is exerted; there-
fore, when the employee is acting individually the strongest force
proceeds from his employer and he moves in that direction. When
he is acting with his fellows the strongest force proceeds from them
and he moves in that direction. In every organization of men there are
always certain leaders of stronger than average personality who direct
the force which proceeds from the organization. It follows, therefore,
that to influence the direction in which this force is to be applied
it is only necessary to influence these leaders. *

As these leaders, acting in their individual capacity, are con-
trolled by the same general law governing the actions of every other
individual, they must be isolated so that the force proceeding from
the employer shall not be overcome by the stronger force proceed-
ing from the organization. The term “force” is used here in the sense

T these days, when we are turning away from problems of dis-

that reason is one of the strongest forces with which men are en- |

dowed. The organizer and manager of men must not overlook the
fact that emotion is also a force and takes the place of reason with
a vast majority of men. It is emotion which exerts the most power-
ful influence upon men in the mass and invariably overcomes the
force of reason wherever these forces come in conflict; therefore, to
influence the leaders of an organization they must be placed in a’
situation where the influence of emotion can be neutralized and rea-
son exert its full force. '

Encourage Confidence Between Employer and Employees

He is but a poor judge of human nature who cannot readily pick
out the men who are most influential in his working force, and a poor
manager who does not constantly keep in touch with these men,
know their activities, understand their weaknesses and stand ready
at all times to influence them for the welfare of both the concern and
the organization. Periodical meetings and conversations with these
men, both individually and collectively, should be held, at which
meetings the reciprocal relations of employer and employee should be
frankly emphasized. These men will appreciate the confidence re-
posed in them. Ask their opinions of the proper solution of the dif-
ferent problems with which you are confronted. Encourage them to
talk and, if it is necessary to show them where they are wrong, use
tact in doing so and explain to them fully the reasons therefor. Never
forget that they are men with like passions, emotions, feelings, loves,
hates and ambitions as yourself, and, above all, that they exert a
tremendous influence on your fortunes. They realize, perhaps vaguely,
that their prosperity is bound up in yours, and that your success of
failure is a matter of moment to them. Carefully develop this feel-
ing by tactfully leading the talk into the proper channels. Try to
have ‘them express this idea in words from time to time. A man
cannot keep saying the same thing over and over with the idea of
being believed without finally coming-to believe what he is saying.
{f you have the material in you for a successful manager you will find
no difficulty along this line.

The importance of the work outlined above cannot be over esti-
mated. The leaders in your shop or mill are constantly in touch with
your entire working force, influencing them either for or agaist you.
‘hey are the men who often make or break a manufacturing concern
and to neglect the work necessary to secure their goodwill and in-
fluence is to turn one of your greatest assets into a liability. When
I use the term leaders I do not necessarily mean bosses. To be a
leader among the men is quite a different thing from being a foreman
or boss. The foremen or bosses are seldom in the confidence of the
men, while. the leaders are, and therein you will find the real reason
for cultivating these men in the manner: outlined above.

To handle men successfully a manager should be a good judge

of human nature; at least in its general aspects. The first thing 1
should learn is that all men are not alike. This truth is axiomatic af
yet how few of us recognize its important bearing on the organizati
and management of men? We all admit that men are not all
but very few of us take the trouble to ascertain in what parti
they differ from each other. Too many managers adopt cut
dried, rule of thumb methods of handling men. They handle
men as they feel that they should have to be handled thems
‘They forget that men are only boys grown tall, and that they
possess many of the characteristics of children and must often
handled as such. One must be encouraged, another driven, and
another coaxed. Some men grow sullen under compulsion, and, w
seemingly obedient, are sulking on the job. Some have their he:
broken by the merciless driver; the big-fisted, broad-shouldered, p
nacious-jawed manager. Some have to be driven and look upon ey.
word of encouragement given them as so many signs of weakness
the part of the boss. Other men must be appealed to through th
ambition, and the man who aspires to handle a working force suc-
cessfully must learn to differentiate. Many a valuable man has been
lost to the organization because the manager failed to understand
these truths. It has been easier in the past to fire a man than to
study him. 7a
“Hire and Fire”’—The Old-Time Manager’s Duties

The duties of the manager in past years can be summed

in two ordinary English words—hire and fire—and, when he had p
formed these duties satisfactorily, he felt that he could read his +
clear. He hired a man to do certain work, and if he failed to de
that work in a satisfactory manner he fired him, and that was z
there was to it. The man might have been with him one year
one month, it made no difference; he didn’t handle the job right and
the only remedy known was the toboggan slide. Finally, some timic
souls began to suggest that they had some money invested in
man, either in salary or wages, and to ask how it was proposed
realize on the investment if they fired him out of hand. This starte
a mild investigation with startling results. It was discovered thi
many business concerns were losing thousands of dollars in the for
of salaries and wages paid to employees who either quit or were
missed before becoming an asset. One large concern in Chi
changed its entire working force every ten months and figured
yearly loss.at over one-half million dollars. The result of these
coveries was that the gentle art of firing fell into disrepute and
accusing eye of the stockholders was cast upon the hiring. M
care was used in selecting employees with regard to the likelihood
their remaining with the concern. Careless hiring and firing be
a thing of the past, but, so far, little has been done toward fitting
man to the job, and the haphazard methods still in use are costing -
business concerns of this country uncounted dollars every year.

organization as a whole, as it is worthy of your utmost efforts. Lead-
ers come and go but the organization goes on for ever. Much has
been done, said and written lately about welfare work, and most of
it absolutely futile. Welfare work will never take the place of fair
compensation and proper working conditions. In fact, the very found-
ation of effective welfare work is fair wages and proper working con-
ditions. If you are not prepared to pay your men a fair wage and
see that the surroundings in which they work are adequate for the
protection of life, limb and health, every dollar spent in welfare work
is just so much money wasted. “The question may be raised, what
are fair wages, and it can be answered only relatively to the nature
of the industry, but in every case their fairness or unfairness is de-
termined by the wages generally paid in like industries throughout
the country or competing territory. The question of proper working
conditions is determined by the nature of the industry, regardless of
working conditions in other like industries.

If you have laid the proper foundation by paying fair wages and
furnishing proper working conditions you are ready for the right kind
of welfare work. The manner in which this is done will have a pro-
found effect, either for good or ill, on your organization. If it is
done in the manner in which you throw a penny to a beggar it might
better not be done at all. I am inclined to believe that the whole
subject of welfare work should be treated from a purely commercial
standpoint as the only means of rescuing it from the category of
If you are going to do any
welfare work do it with the frank object of increasing the output
by making your employees more happy and contented with the result-
ing efficiency which such conditions always bring. Much welfare
work has done more harm than good because it has been done in a
patronizing way which no self-respecting employee could do other-
wise than resent.

distribute among them a complete list of all accounts that are: con-
sidered bad, and also of accounts in connection with which judgments
have been obtained. These two lists, together with the current ac-
count information, place in the hands of a retailer a practically im-
pregnable protection against the dishonest customer.

One of the members of the Lumbermen’s Credit Bureau at To-
ronto, in discussing the matter with another retailer, who was con-
sidering the advisability of joining, laid the situation before him clearly
and concisely in the following manner :—

After one year of successful working of the Lumbermen’s Credit
Bureau there is not one member of it who would part with his mem-
bership for four times the amount of his annual fee. There is not one
of us who has not received in actual results, many times over, benefits
that cannot be counted in dollars and cents. We have illustrations
of it almost daily when dead beats come ‘into our offices and we are
able to give them the lie because of the information we have at hand
through the bureau. There is hardly a day passes, even with the few
enquiries that have been sent out since the first of the year, when
somebody has not been called up short and asked to pay cash who .
has come in with an air of confidence and claimed that he was en-
titled to credit. The value of the bureau information to the retail
trade alone is of such importance that anyone who is not already a_
member should look into it for his own sake. Many instances of its
advantages could be given.

A certain member of the bureau reported recently that he had
a party in his office enquiring one day for a large bill of lumber. The
man was a stranger, and after giving him a price upon the lumber,
which was satisfactory, the retailer asked him how he was going to
pay for it. The stranger replied that he need not question his ability
to pay as he had been buying lumber in Toronto for the last twenty
years and did not owe a cent to anybody. The dealer said that he
would let him know in the morning whether he would send up the
material. In the interval he communicated with the bureau and was
astonished to find that this man had some 31 liens registered against
his property. When the man returned in the morning for his answer
and was confronted with this information he did not dare to deny it
and was very anxious to find out where the information was obtained.
The consequence was that the dealer patted himself on the back for
a whole week for his luck in keeping out of the hole, and incidently
for making a cash sale. ;

When retailers co-operate’ in this way to exchange information

94 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

with one another, it is possible to obtain information about a cus-
tomer so expeditiously that before he. leaves the office the retailer
can know with complete certainty just how to deal with him.
an interesting indication of the effectiveness of this type of co-opera-
tion that, in Toronto, retailers are now ascribing to the work of their
bureau the fact that building operations have recently fallen off
extensively. At first glance this might appear to be either an exaggera-
tion or a disadvantage. However, there is no doubt about the actual
facts, and retailers are convinced that much of the falling off is due
to the fact that speculative builders have been pulled up short, even
in the brief space of one year, to such an extent that their operations
are now reduced to a minimum. The meaning of this is that danger-
ous customers have been greatly eliminated and such trade as is in
progress today is of a much sounder and more profitable nature than
has ever been the case in previous years.

As to the actual falling off in the total amount of trade, there.

may be some who will think that this is a disadvantage. On the
other hand, it must be remembered that the lumber dealers have their
lumber in their yards instead of having it out on jobs for which they
never would have been paid. The decrease in the building trade in
Toronto is unquestionably in no small measure due to the fact that
the men who built largely and bought indiscriminately, from parties
who are easy enough to furnish them with material—now that they
are up against a credit bureau—can neither get the lumber nor build
the houses. Heretofore, they built the houses with the lumbermen’s
money and the lumbermen got nothing to show for it but mortgages
or uncollectable debts. ) ‘

Collection End of the Work

An important feature in connection with lumber credit bureaus
is their account collection work. Retailers co-operating in exchange
of information find it advantageous also to co-operate in the collection
of many of their accounts. A credit bureau can, in many cases, secure

one to cover. It is of great interest not only to retailers, but
to lumber manufacturers as well. The problems and sugges-
tions I discuss will be given from my personal experience, and
will cover only a small portion of the many problems and different
problems that confront retailers. My ideas may seem somewhat

So: a subject as “Problems of the Retailer” is a very difficult

radical to manufacturers, but | am presenting them because they

represent my sincere convictions as a retailer and are founded on my
experience as such.

With the increase in cost of materials and additional expense
of operating, coupled with a keener competition with local dealers
and mail order houses, ready cut houses and other so-called dis-
tributors, of substitutes for the various kinds of materials that we
sell, the retailer is placed in a position where it is absolutely necessary
for him to adopt more modern methods to meet the obstacles and to
retain the volume of sales. 4

For me to cover the subjects that I feel manufacturers are most
interested in, it is necessary to put some questions to them. As manu-
facturers of lumber, shingles and lath, you work your lumber up in
various ways, such as ordered and required by the retailer. Have
you investigated the use of this lumber which you manufacture and
which the retailer sells so as to know whether it has. proven satis-
factory and if there is any room whatever for improvement? Do
you, as manufacturers, furnish information to the retailer who buys
your lumber, intelligently informing him how to apply, treat and
preserve the lumber that you sell him, and the reasons why? Do you
furnish the retail lumberman information when you sell him lath,
tell him how to apply and give him information upon the different
grades and varieties of wood, and why one is better adapted for
certain plasters than others? Do you furnish retailers who purchase
your shingles information how to make the best foundation to apply
these shingles, how to lay the shingles, how to treat them to pre-
serve them, the proper nails to use, the grades of shingles that are
best adapted for the different types of buildings, and state to them
the reasons why they should follow these instructions?

Retailer Needs Information from Manufacturer

To the best of my knowledge I believe I am safe in saying that
such information has never been furnished the retailer. Is there any
reason why the retailers should not have had this information fur-

it as:

payment when a retailer finds that he can do nothing. By charging a
small percentage for collection work it is possible for a credit bureau
to make a small profit which can be applied to the defraying of gen
eral expenses. i

Undoubtedly the success of this co-operation among Toron
retailers will make its effect felt in other branches of the trade. Whole-
sale members of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto Board of
Trade are seriously considering the extension of the credit bureau to
their own business, as they realize that the members of the bureau
are now better protected for credit than those who are not members
Consequently, a number of them are anxious to form a bureau em
bracing the wholesale trade, believing not only that their own busine:
operations will be greatly simplified, but that the general standir
of the wholesale trade will be improved.

It will be noted that the principle connected with this form «
co-operation is entirely different from that of the ordinary mercantil
agency, which gathers information regarding the credit rating of 1
cantile firms. All the facts and figures secured by a co-operative c
bureau are furnished by the members themselves and handled
staff which is sworn not to divulge any information which is ne
absolutely required by the by-laws of the bureau. As a result, the
members have no hesitation in giving, freely and fully, all the informa-
tion they can command about their customers or about anybody else.
It has also been proven to the customers of the retailers who are
worth having that the bureau is as much to their advantage as it is
to the advantage of the lumbermen, as it enables the lumber dealer
to close out from their competition all the dead ones who will not
pay their bills, thereby making it easier for those who will pay their
bills-to secure their contracts at a living price. The main object of -
a credit bureau is to erradicate from the building trade all the dead
beats who take contracts at less than they are worth and beat t
lumberman out of his money, thereby causing a hardship to decent
contractors who pay their way. ‘

have contended that it is the duty of you as manufacturers to use yo
brains, your energy and your money to create this demand for your
product. This should be done not only directly through the retail
lumber dealers, but through the consumer, and in turn the retailer
should use his brains, his energy, and ‘his money to co-operate
you in this venture. While'I am giving you my ideas upon this
ject, which I know you already have in mind, and which you
working upon, I believe it is a duty I owe to my brother retai
to carry this message to you so as to make a deeper impr
upon your mind. . ae

Not Properly Acquainted with His Goods.

My first contention is a most vital one. It is that the av
retailer is not properly acquainted with the product he han
mean to say that he is not thoroughly versed in the various
and in the advantages and disadvantages—of the various kinds —
woods for different uses. It is highly important that the re
should have this knowledge. Without it he cannot properly advis
the purchaser regarding the best wood for the purpose desired.

The retailer’s advice should not stop at a selection of woods,
he should know how that wood can be treated to preserve it,
retain its good appearance. This, too, is as important to the |
chaser as the right selection of woods. ta

The time has gone by when the retail lumberman can remain
seated in a dingy old office waiting for unsolicited business to co
to him. He must be up, alert and doing, seeing to it that his”

sed to be, in the years past, that the retailer had no voice what-
took any interest in what people used in the construction
ildings. It was not necessary, as the customer or carpenter
his list of materials and we figured and furnished just what
ed. Specifications would always run close to the native
as southern and western products were not advertised or
pwn at that time.

Retailers Changing Their Methods

er, as time went on I noted changes for the better gradu-
place. After the southern and western lumbermen began
their products, and various substitutes for lumber were
market; and the advertising campaign started, it became
for the retailer to pursue a radically different course. To-
iler must know the products that he sells, particularly
) know whether it is suited for the purpose specified ;

w to treat it; to know more of the different designs to
ial into; to make it more suitable for the purposes,
red effect to meet the approval of the purchaser—these
he modern retailer cannot ignore.

for us to earn a profit we, as retailers, need greater know-
we sel, and we need greater knowledge of proper and
ublicity, and of modern merchandizing. My ideas are
eriences I have had in the past, to secure a better know-
we sell, and we need greater knowledge of proper and
methods of today, that “service” is the answer to the

EIS: where he can meet any and all-arguments. He can do much
in giving the retailers information that they ‘can use in selling the
product. In other words, he can do much in helping to educate the
retailers in the lines of modern merchandizing and of placing them in
a position to meet competition, not only on the product itself, but to
meet competition with other substitutes that are offered in its place.

This information and knowledge which you can obtain of the
products you manufacture, which you in turn can enlighten your
salesmen with, should be in pamphlet form for distribution not for the
retailer’s interest only, but in such form that the retailer can distri-
bute it to his patrons. It would not be a difficult matter for you to
carry this out by having your sales manager and salesman co-operate
with the secretary and his assistants of your manufacturing associa-
tion. It would not be long before they would be known as authorities
on the wood products you manufacture, and it would do much toward
improving the conditions with the retailer and getting the retailer to
that point where, if he takes an interest in his community, he will
soon establish a reputation as an authority on wood products which
he sells, and matters relating to buildings.

The retailer who-renders “service” such as I have outlined will
not be long in establishing his own reputation in his home town as
an authority on material that he sells and on the construction of
buildings. However, it will be necessary for him to have a complete
assortment of plans, plan books, books of every description pertain-
ing to the materials he sells.

There are many opportunities for you, as manufacturers, and for

‘the retailers, to improve the conditions and open new fields for wood

products. I am going to cite a few ideas that I have in mind which
I believe will be of interest to you, as they have proven a great suc-
cess with me.

Play Houses

For instance, the idea occurred to me a few years ago of build-
ing a small children’s play house entirely of wood for exhibition at
the County fair, and giving it away as an advertising proposition, by
having a guessing contest. It would have surprised you if you could
have seen the interest that was taken in this play house, not only by
the younger generation, but by the older people as well. The old
saying is that if you want to reach the heart of the parents it can
be done through the little ones. We not only arouse interest in the
little ones but created goodwill among the parents, for through this
play house we sold many a bill of lumber to parents for the construc-
tion of a like play house. Thus we opened a new field for our product.

Afterward it occurred to me that if a play house would create
such a demand for lumber, why wouldn’t it be a good idea for the
retail lumberman to build a miniature house, say 8 x 10 ft., or 10 x
12 ft., one room-and a small porch—give it a buigalow effect, using
hemlock, white pine, Norway pine, white cedar shingles and hard-
wood flooring ; treating the siding with creosote, the shingles with
shingle stain and all the trimmings with paint, and thus put before
the people an idea in tangible form of a home built entirely from
materials always carried in stock for immediate delivery. There is
much to be gained in making a sale by having an actual illustration
of just how to use the material and how it looks made up. I have
every reason to believe that this would be a strong feature in making
sales in the various localities.

Bird Houses

I have noted with interest in many States, the different contests,
and the interest thus created, in small bird houses. Since noting this
interest, especially among children, I have gotten together the various
pamphlets upon bird houses and found it is an easy matter to get
the local newspapers to give publicity to this movement. Through
this channel I expect to dispose of material to the boys of my town
for building these houses. There are many other ideas that can be
worked out that would create a demand for lumber.

Now there are other ways that are too numerous to mention in
which your manufacturers’ association can stimulate a demand for
your product. I wonder if you have ever realized and noted that the
material you manufacture and which the retailer has for sale, is the
only material used in and around the house that the women cannot
buy? I don’t believe that there is a single home in any of the towns
which you gentlement are in, or where the retail yards are located,
but what this very moment there is not something wanted, which you
have for sale. I believe that you find this statement to be true largely,
that when the residence is complete and workmen have left the house

‘and the family moves in, the interest of the building material man

ceases. This is another suggestion that I want to impress upon
your mind, that you as manufacturers and we, as retailers, should not
stop when the sale is made and goods are delivered, but should take
an interest in our product after it has been delivered and in use. We
certainly should be interested in these buildings to the extent of see-
ing that the materials that we have delivered have proven satisfactory,
and if not, the reason why they have not, so as to insure our future
customers and business interest.

Referring again to the shingles. A short time ago a farmer came

96 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER ,

into my office with a large barn bill and I noted that all the material
to complete a good sized barn was included in this bill, but there were
no shingles. I have always made it a point to note if there are any
articles such as shingles, lath or other items that I know would be
necessary to complete the building, that are not included, and to make
enquiry of the prospective purchaser. In this instance I asked this
farmer what he intended to use on his roof. He stated he was going
to use galvanized iron. I informed him that we have some very good
shingles for barns of a very good grade at a reasonable price. He
then stated he would not put wood shingles on his barn; and this
gave me an opportunity to ask him the reason why. He stated that
in noting various barns in his neighborhood during the threshing
time, that much dust and chaff covered the roof and it remained there.

When the rain came it would form a sort of crust over the shingles —

which held the moisture and rotted the shingles.

Now, gentlemen, this was his reason for not using wood shingles.
My suggestion to him then was that the cost of a good white cedar
shingle dipped into a good creosote would be less “and it would be
much more serviceable than the galvanized iron, and the shingles
would be protected against rot. Now then this will give you an-
other problem.

Cement

We often hear the word “substitute” used. We hear this used
when speaking of cement, yet a large percentage of the retailers
are distributors of cement. My contention is that the substitute is
not to be feared.
terials to recommend and sell the materials that are best suited for the
purpose required. In order to accomplish this good, as I have stated
before, it is necessary for the dealers to become better acquainted
with all of their products so as to know the various kinds of material
and what they are best suited for.

It is very unreasonable for one in the lumber business to advocate
the use of wood for purposes for which he knows, in his own mind,
cement is best. And this applies as well to cement, where wood is best.

Wall Board

Now take wall board. Wall board is sold and advertised as a
substitute for lath. I am selling from seventy-five to a hundred thous-
and feet of wall board annually and yet I cannot, in any way, see
where this is taking the place of lath or plaster, because it is being
used for purposes where lath or plaster were never thought of, and
never would be used. It has opened up a new field, and a profitable
one, for all the retail lumber dealers. —

Prepared Roofings

Prepared roofings today are undoubtedly one of the greatest
gambles that the public have to deal with. The great variation in
grades and quality, together with the largely fictitious advertising
and unreasonable statements as to guarantees, makes it a business
that cannot be depended upon in general. However, a lumber firm
with one good and reasonably reliable product, can sell this material
for buildings that require its use, and this is usually where shingles
cannot be used under any conditions. A good, standard reliable
brand is a profitable and satisfactory article to carry and sell.

Silos

One of the subjects that retailers are all deeply interested in is .

the silo. The silo is one of the most important structures there is on
the farm today, and one of the most profitable to the farmer. This is
a proven fact, so requires no discussion. However, the different types
and kinds of silos are an interesting subject to be discussed at this
time. We know that the one most important feature in the silo is
the preservation of the silage; and the best silo is the one that holds
the heat longest. Comparing the stave silo with the concrete, hollow
tile, brick and other types of silos other than wood, we know that
these latter are all contractors of cold, and that for this reason the
wood silo has many advantages over any other silo.

Yet with the stave silo or any other silo, there is one point vital
to all—and that is, proper construction. I will say that the concrete
silo can be made a good serviceable silo if properly finished on the
interior.. Likewise, the stave silo can bé made a very Soe and
lasting silo if properly constructed.

The greatest injustice that I know of today in the construction
of silos is that'so many of them are so cheaply constructed that they
keep their shape or form only for a very short period. When they
get out of plumb, hoops become loosened, causing them to get fur-
ther out of plumb, it not only makes them look unsightly, but it is
impossible to tighten the hoops and bring the silo back to position
so the joints will be air tight. ;

One of the most progressive associations of retail lumberme :
Canada is the South Western Ontario Lumber Dealers’ Associat a
which has been doing a lot of practical pioneer work among the
tailers in its district and has met with much success. _ The

One of the practical matters brought up at the last mee
the subject of figuring upon plans. After a lengthy discussion
decided to abolish this practice, as it was found that several member

association is now making an effort to establish a practice of h
all contractors and carpenters bring in their own bills, as ie
that the carpenter who is not capable of making out a bill of mai
should not be trusted to make a contract for a building.

Keeping Tab on Wholesalers

Another way in which the Association is trying to improve
conditions is by inducing wholesalers to sell to retailers only. TI
of course, is one of the chief objects of the association, and s«
they have succeeded very well in certain districts, but where
are near wholesale yards they are finding it a much more di
undertaking. They report, however, that they are looking forw
correcting this situation entirély during the present year.
method of handling it is to hold a meeting every month and disc
any reported violation of their rules.

In connection. with their own internal affairs such as ec
agement of yards, they are working together in a commendable m
ner and securing quite definite results. One way is by educating th
members to a proper appreciation of the fact that it costs somethi1
do business. Some dealers have no idea whatever of overhead
penses. One dealer, for instance, claimed that he could sell po
cheaper than his neighbor because he owned his own boat an
freight did not cost him anything. Another dealer estimated
25 cents per thousand was a good profit on shingles, even thotieh
had to team them half a mile. There are several dealers also, kn
to the association, whose business methods are far from ideal. Ss 1
of them, for instance, have never taken stock since they went |
business.

Frequent Meetings Promote Mutual Interests

All of these matters are freely discussed at meetings of the as
ciation, along with market conditions, the best wholesalers ar

salers could hear themselves discussed at the meetings of the

their orders.

he has connected himself-with has felt the benefit of his business

Bch lity and energy.

___—* Maurice M. Wall was born on July 16th, 1864, at Avon, N. Y.
When his schooling had been completed he headed straight for the
7 umber trade, in the office of Frank W. Warren, at Avon, N. Y., but

made his first real connection with a firm known as Stanton, Crandall
and Company, who carried on a mill and retail business in a village
bearing the name of Painted Post. His first independent connection
with the lumber trade was in conjunction with his brothers, when
they all went to Buffalo, in 1889, and purchased the Buffalo Hard-
wood Lumber Company, of which Maurice M. Wall became secretary
and treasurer. The company has continually expanded and is today
considered one of the largest and strongest wholesale lumber con-
cerns in the east. Its yards cover eight acres in the heart of the

Bi ‘railroad centre of Buffalo. Upwards of 15,000,000 feet of hardwood

is handled annually at these yards and the company’s customers ex-

7 _ tend throughout the northeastern and north central States.

SS é Boosting British Columbia Cedar

Our object in outlining Maurice M. Wall’s career for our readers
is the interest he has taken in the Canadian lumbering industry. He
has always been a practical lumberman, knowing the business from
_ the stump to the consumer. His very wide experience and great suc-
‘cess are proof that when he takes hold of any particular line of
business it is something that has decided merit in its favor. One
f his latest interests is British Columbia timber. In a recent inter-
iew, refefring to this subject, he said:—‘“Red cedar shingles and
ding have been used and recognized as superior for many years,
ding the test of exposure to all kinds of weather. British Col-
abia has practically the only available cedar and will be the logical

“Cedar has taken the place of white pine for shingles and sid-
and is bound to be one of the most useful woods of the future.”

P These ideas are not mere theory on Mr. Wall’s part. They are
d on experience and investigation. He has been all over the

scided to invest the savings of a lifetime in the purchase of timber.

Feet, mostly cedar, but including also 100,000,000 feet of high-class
white pine and about 100,000,000 feet of large fir timber. These tracts
are of great height and massive girth, growing often as high as 100,-
000 feet to the acre. Each tract was cruised, mapped and estimated
in most conservative fashion, and the facilities for cutting, hauling,
driving, sawing and shipping were carefully verified before the pur-
chases were made. The timber is so located that much of it can be
felled right into the streams and delivered to the main line of railroad
at a minimum of expense.

Mr. Wall and his associates are now contemplating the erection
of a mill and are looking over their British Columbia timber with a
view to starting an operation there soon.

Mr. Wall’s activities in the lumber business have always been
interesting to Ontario lumbermen and his new connection makes him
a still more important factor in connection with the Canadian lum-
ber industry.

A Notable Figure in.the Trade

It would not be right to give an outline of Mr. Wall’s business
career without some reference to the National Hardwood Lumber As-
sociation. As first chairman of the inspection bureau of the National
Hardwood Lumber Association he did the pioneer work in organizing
its inspection department, formulating uniform rules and appointing
the first corps of inspectors under bond. He acted as chairman of
the bureau for several years. These were real servicés to the trade
that will never be forgotten. After this bureau was organized and was
in good running order, Mr. Wall resigned as chairman, but he was
soon drafted again into the active work of the association, becoming
chairman of its forestry committee. During his years in this service
he collected exhaustive data and wrote some valuable papers on for-
estry and the visible supply of timber in the United States and Canada.
For three years also Mr. Wall has been a director of the National
Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association.

In civic life Mr. Wall has also occupied an important place, hav-
ing been president of the Manufacturers’ Club of Buffalo, the nucleus
of the present Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, of which he was a
director for several years. He was for seven years City Park Com-
missioner of Buffalo and president of that body during the last year
of his service. He was president of the Automobile Club of Buffalo
for 1913 and 1914 and is now president of the New York State Motor
Federation. The most recent honor to come in Mr. Wall’s direction
is his election as president of the Lumber Exchange of Buffalo.

Canadian Government Railways

Until quite recently Canadians have been in the habit of thinking
of the Canadian Government railways as a peculiarly Maritime insti-
tution. The Intercolonial Railway, in its earliest days, ended at
Riviere du Loup, not far outside of New Brunswick, in the province of
Quebec, where it connected with the Grand Trunk, and in that way
was put in touch with the railway systems of the western provinces.
The extension to Montreal was made twenty years ago and even
then the I. C. R. seemed still to be a Maritime institution. Few people
at that time imagined that the government railway would some day
be extended to tap the great grain country of the far west. During
the past few months, however, ws have been growing accustomed to
a new idea. The old Intercolonial of the Maritime Provinces has be-
come a national institution and we are changing our habits of thought
and learning to speak of the Canadian Government Railways instead
of the I.C. R. Three separate systems have now been rolled into one:
the Intercolonial Railway, the Prince Edward Island Railway, and
the National Transcontinental Railway, and the western gateway
for the time being is in Winnipeg. Events of recent days, moreover,
point to the probability of the Canadian Government Railways ex-
tending in the very near future through to the Pacific Coast. Gov-
ernment ownership apparently is increasing in Canada. It is an
old story in Europe, but in Canada the public has not yet learned to
accept the principle of government ownership so extensively as the
people of the Old World. If the example furnished by the equipment,
service and efficiency of the present Canadian Government Railways
can be continued, as the system is extended, we feel assured that
government railway ownership in Canada has a brilliant future be-
fore it. 2

The Care of Woodworking Equipment
Its Importance Not to Be Exaggerated— Careful Upkeep Reduces Operatin
Costs and Encourages High Quality Osa

By W. J.

great deal of the success in connection with the operation of
A a woodworking plant, and in fact the operation of almost
any kind of a plant in which power machines are run, de-
pends upon the care that is given to the machinery in oper-
ation, and in the attention which is given it from day to day by
those who are responsible for its up-keep. It is a common thing
to find a manufacturer paying a good steep price for what he con-
siders to be the best possible machinery, in fact allowing the price to
be a really secondary consideration, because he has made up his
mind that he wants the best machine that can be obtained in the
market. It is also quite an ordinary thing to find that an expensive
tool of this sort is installed and lives well up to its reputation during
its initial performances, but in a week or two the novelty wears off,
the interest of the employer in the machine decreases and he finds
his attention taken by other schemes or plans. Then the new mach-
ine, unless it has a careful and efficient operator in charge, falls down
in its work, and trouble is likely to commence. You will often find
the same manufacturer quite ready to talk by the hour about how
he might be able to reduce the cost of his product. He will tell you
of this, that and the other scheme for getting a larger output, but

thing like as seriously as it deserves to be.

It sounds rather unreasonable to say that a mantfacturer who
is interested financially in the output of his plant will allow the
machinery for which he has paid thousands of dollars to fall into a
state of inefficiency, in fact to be reduced much below its capacity
both as to quantity and quality, and especially in regard to quality.
Facts, however, are stubborn things, and the writer is quite ready
to assume the responsibility for saying, that if statistics could be
_ secured, it would be found that 25 per cent. would be a high estimate
of the number of factories in Ontario that can be classified as good
in regard to the care given to their machinery, while the other 75
per cent. could be unquestionably classified’ as bad or indifferent
plants.

; Keeping Machinery “Up to Scratch”

It is quite an exacting task to keep woodworking machinery
“Up to scratch.” The high speed at which it has to be run, and
very frequently poor installation, cause an excessive amount of wear
and tear. In the larger factories, as a rule, this is not so much the
case as in the smaller ones, as expert help is more often employed
to keep the machines in proper order and to keep the saws, knives,
cutter heads, etc., in good shape than in the small and medium sized
plants. However, it is an ordinary thing to see this work badly
neglected. It is frequently passed on to the “handy man” who may
have time to do that babbitting job today, or perhaps next week.
“Keep pouring on the oil and keep her going, or shut down occasion-
ally and cool her off with a pail of water”; that is the type of advice
so often handed out in the smaller plants, and the inevitable result
is that much mischief is done which could have been avoided, and a
considerable repair bill is entailed.

Everyone will agree theoretically, at least, that the proper care of
machinery is one of the. most important things to be attended to in
connection with a woodworking plant, but how many of us have heard
all too frequently, a manufacturer complaining about having to buy
too much babbitt, or having to pay over 25 cents a gallon for machine
oil? The same type of man is practically certain to buy belting which
has about one-third or even one-half the: necessary strength for the
job. There are far too many men of this class in charge of wood-
working plants.

To begin at-the beginning, the first essential in the care of mach-
inery is the proper installation of the machinery, and in the installa-
tion, the most important thing is to secure an absolutely firm founda-
tion. A cement base is always desirable for heavy machinery, and
if this is put in just flush with the floor, there will be no obstruction
if it should be found desirable later on to move the machine to another
position in the event of re-arrangement or enlargement of the plant.

The Importance of Proper Belting

Probably the next most important matter in the care of mach-
inery is the type of belt used. It is important to have reasonably long
belts, that is to say, to keep as good a distance from the line shaft

In fact, the care of machinery is not considered any-_

Line Shafting and Bearing Problems

The line shafting is something to which close attention shou
be given. It should be gone over at least twice a year and te
for straightness and level. This is particularly the case in frame b
ings, or in new factories where the structural material is wood. F
buildings are very subject to disturbances caused by heavy loads

on the edges as well as the end so that they can be pushed or worked
on either side. The way to detect the high’ spots in the babbitted
boxes is to rub a distinguishing color on the spindle and revolve it
in the box. The high spots will then be marked and can easily be
seen. A box should always be babbitted before it becomes necessary
to shut down the machine for repairs. This is one of the things that -
cannot be put off without involving additional cost, which increases
with the icheth of the delay. :

The Clean-Up Job

Keeping machinety clean is always a considerable undertaking
and generally a disagreeable one if the disinclination of the men who
do the work may be taken as an indication. It is a simple thing
to run a pipe along the ceiling from which branches can be dropped
at convenient intervals, fitted with valves and an adjustment to
screw, say, 50 feet of hose to. The hose is provided with a nozzle at
least 3 inches long having a very small opening at the discharge end.
This will blow the dust off anything, and the work can be done when
the men are not on the job, at noon or in the evening. Once a plant
has been blown clean, it is not a hard or inconvenient task to keep it
clean. Compressed air can be used for many other things about the
plant.

It should always be the duty of some reliable man to oil the
loose pulleys and suspended countershaft bearings, as men are notori-
ously careless in these matters and it is not always convenient to
have ladders nearby when the oiling is to be done. Having one man
to do this work will be found to be a more satisfactory factory plan,
and it will cost less. :

Compression grease cups will be found very useful on many boxes.
They are preferable to oil lubrication, especially on moderately heavy
bearings which are run at less than 600 r.p.m. In the line shafting
where the babbitt boxes are used the caps can be made to accommodate
the grease in sufficient quantity to last at least six months. If the
box has a tendency to warm up, the action of the grease is hastened,
and unless something is radically wrong, a hot bearing is uncommon.

The general up-keep of machinery is a vital question for every
factory. It isa subject about which a great deal could be written
in regard both to its effect upon the output and its relation to the
loyalty of the men. It is a fact that men cannot take any pride in
working in a sloppy plant and they are very quick to take on the
same “dull gray tone” as the equipment reflects.

War Disturbs Mahogany Stocks

Philippine Wood Coming to the Front to Relieve Shortage
of Other Lines

both in the United States and Canada, is pretty well known

to those who are engaged in it, yet few of them realize to

how complete an extent the conditions arising out of the war
have permeated the whole lumber business from top to bottom, includ-
ing not only the better known lines of lumber products, but also those
which are considered more or less among the choice and to some extent
luxurious lines. The case of mahogany is an interesting example. IJt
has become increasingly difficult, on account of the war, to obtain
mahogany in any quantity. The scarcity of vessels and the lack of
labor have been important factors in this connection, making it diffi-
cult for importers to obtain their usual supply of stocks from Africa
and other mahogany-producing countries. As a consequence the price
of mahogany has gone up very rapidly and manufacturers are puzzled
to know what the outcome will be. One of the extensive dealers in
mahogany at Toronto, The Wilson Lumber Company, report that they
have found themselves in this quandary, and after investigating care-
fully have decided to handle stocks of Philippine (Laguan) mahogany.
Referring to this wood, they report that, in their opinion, it is likely
to increase in favor gradually, and eventually to replace to some extent
African and Honduras mahogany.

Mahogany is found more or less in abundance throughout the
tropical zone. It is only avery short time since the only mahogany
used in any quantity was brought from Santo Domingo, but as time
wore on and mahogany came into more general favor, the stock was
brought from other points, until to-day. African wood is more gener-
ally used than any other. The beauty of African mahogany is found
in its figure and in the txeture of the wood. It is easily worked and
will probably always be in demand for the higher grades of furniture,
such as dining tables, dressers, and all case goods. However, in chair
work this mahogany is not used, Cuban mahogany being substituted
on account of its extreme hardness. African wood is considered to
be too soft to stand the strain of hard knocks to which a chair is sub-
jected. The one serious defect found in African mahogany is the cross

cr wind break. This is caused by the storms which frequently occur
in the African forests, causing the trees to bend and split internally.
Although this causes no real harm to the growing tree the injury is
brought out in the lumber as a defect when the forest giant is even-
tually felled for commercial uses. Philippine mahogany, we are in-
formed, does not contain this defect, although it does to some extent
contain small worm or beetle holes. However, these holes do not
affect the value of the wood in any way because they are little larger
than a pin head and the use of a good paste filler obliterates them.
Philippine mahogany, when these holes haye been filled, take an
excellent finish.

Hardwood Playing an Important War Roi
Emerging from Depression of Early War Period and Reflecting Activity Produ
by War Requirements a

Specially Contributed*

TD the past two years, the hardwood lumber in-

dustry in Canada has had a rather checkered existence,
certain lines at certain times have been in_ splendid
demand and other lines have sagged. To quite a no-
ticeable extent the trade has been regulated by the situa-
tion arising out of the war, a strong demand having developed peri-
odically for certain lines, such as thick birch, which are extensively
used in connection with shell boxes, gun stocks, etc. The furniture
factories have enjoyed a rather intermittent demand, sometimes good,
sometimes excellent and other times rather quiet. This has been the

prevailing situation for a couple of years under conditions of this |

sort. Today, it looks as though during 1916 the manufacturer and
dealer in hardwood lumber will again come into his own. Some
lumbermen who view the hardwood situation from a somewhat casual
outside standpoint may be inclined to think that this statement is
more or less of a satire. However, I think those who have been
dependent upon the hardwood lumber market as a means of enlarg-
ing their bank accounts will have to agree with me, upon investiga-
tion, that several years have elapsed since the manufacture of hard-
wood has really been productive of anything like a reasonable amount
of profit, when one takes into consideration the effort which it has
been necessary to put forth in order to secure business. In fact,
many hardwood concerns would have been compelled to show a bal-
ance on the wrong side of their ledger during the past few years if
they had been obliged to put a fair price upon their hardwood stump-
age. :

It seems a trifle strange, and one of the peculiar ironies of fate,
-in this year, when all true Canadians are looking upon the struggle
on the European continent with mixed feelings of regret and hope,
that the lumberman must really admit that the situation created by
the war has brought about a definite improvement in the hardwood
outlook. In August, 1914, we were just beginning to feel the dis-
comforts of approaching financial depression. In western Canada the
harvest situation had not been any too good, and, as a natural con-
sequence, implement manufacturers, furniture manufacturers and
musical instrument manufacturers had commenced to curtail their
production. These industries had their money tied up in the west
to a great extent and were not prepared to take on any further bur-
dens. Similar conditions prevailed in other lines of industry. What
may be said of the manufacturing concerns who are our direct cus-
tomers was true also in regard to nearly all the other factories and,
as an inevitable consequence, production of nearly every description
was greatly reduced. Men were thrown out of employment in great
numbers and prosperity ceased. Following this, and as one of its
direct outcomes, building operations came to an end. Even the banks
refused to grant us our usual lines of credit, so that, from the manu-
facturer to the consumer, industry and trade were being choked, and
prosperity disappeared. At the end of 1914 there was no single line of
business more completely at a standstill‘than the hardwood lumber
business. This complete depression had come on so quickly that
both the manufacturer and the wholesaler were caught with large
stocks of dry lumber on hand and no sign of trade to take it from them.

The natural course for the banker to follow, undef such condi-
tions, finding that everyone was carrying heavy stocks of hardwoods,
was to restrict us in our lines of credit. This was done immediately
and the result was quickly seen in the volume of production. The
greater portion of the hardwood output in Canada comes from small
operators who were practically tied up by the refusal of the banks to

The wood is of two colors, light red, which is slightly lighter i:

Hardwood’s Place as a War Material
It was not many months after the declaration of war, b
hardwood manufacturers saw that they must take a pro
in co-operating to defeat the Hun and to assist us in holdi
as a part of a great free nation. This called for the readju
our factories to meet the needs of war times and soon it wa
that our woodworking factories in general were a very
factor in the making of war materials. It would be quite im
for me, in a comparatively short space, to enumerate the
of different lines of product our woodworking concerns have
to turn out, which have been valuable contributions to
ment. A few lines, such as parts for saddlery, gun carriage
automobile parts, gun stocks and shell boxes have consu1
quantities of material; and in addition to these products wk
of direct use as war materials there has been a great consum:
crating material. It is necessary to crate almost everything
are sending to our allied troops, and for such a purpose wooden
are really the only safe medium. Unless you will stop to cou
the innumerable wooden articles that have to be forwar
front and the great quantities of crating materials that have
used for their safe shipment you will find it impossible
fully what this war has done towards infusing new life into t
wood lumber market. ee. eh
What I have already said gives some idea of the direct ¢
of the war upon the activity of the hardwood industry and t
but no trade or industrial activity can stand alone as an isa
ficiarly from an active market. Our employees, finding
fully taken up at remunerative wages have also circulated t
perity by means of their own demand for what they require
nection with their domestic life. When employees are ea
wages they naturally are inclined to improve their home
ings, and when doing so they consume a very yaried line of
factured articles, produced at-Canadian factories from Ca
terials. Thus the returning prosperity is extended greatly

The Harvest of 1915

In considering the present situation in the hardwood
must not fail to attach full importance to the effect of the
vest. So great was this harvest and so good were the p

are definitely confronted by the necessity for taking on a great
unt of new rolling stock. Car manufacturers are consequently
calling upon the hardwood trade for quotations upon large quantities
of lumber for this purpose.
iy. Reaching Out Into Export Markets
__ I have been referring largely, in fact entirely, during the above
discussion, to our home markets. Canada today does not have to
fine her trade to her own markets. Canadians are now producing,
ur native woods, goods that are quite the equal of those pro-
d by any country in the world. During the last few years we
been steadily advancing our position by adopting high standards

rupted to a great extent and the situation will be unsettled just at a
time when it can least afford it and when conditions are settling back
into channels of business activity and success.

The Situation Today

The quantity of hardwood stocks available today in Canada is
a matter of the greatest importance. I have lately visited a large
number of, the most extensive hardwood producing centres in Can-
ada and I am convinced that there is less dry hardwood unsold in
Canada today than there has been for a great many years past. In
fact, in many lines of stock, nothing that is dry can be found today.
The orily apparent surplus that I know of seems to be in our No. 3
common hardwoods. However, with the enormous advancés in the
price of steel, and with the great shortage in supplies of pulp and
paper, there can only be one recourse for package materials, and that
is wood. Spruce and pine have both advanced in price seriously and
that-is just where I think I see a demand developing for our No. 3
common hardwoods. Practical demonstrations which have been car-
ried out during the past few months will lead to a general recogni-
tion of the fact that packages made from No. 3 common hardwood
will soon be the solution for the supply of a strong crate. An objec-
tion that has frequently been offered to this stock for crating material
is its weight, but if we remember that a hardwood crate of less than
half the thickness of softwood will be fully as strong, we have no
reason to worry upon this score.

At the beginning of 1916 the hardwood lumbermen of Canada
are entering upon a period of business activity which, I think, holds
out very bright prospects. There is practically no surplus of old
stock to depress the market; the production during the past winter
was not large; the financial position of nearly all the trade in Canada
today is good and our laboring people are earning wages equal to,
and in most cases considerably greater than, they have ever been able
to earn before. The consuming trade, moreover, have awakened to
the fact that times are reasonably good once more and that the pro-
ducer is not overloaded with stock, consequently is willing to buy
even at advanced prices. Under conditions of this nature, unless
we over-reach ourselves, we should be able during 1916 to do a good
business and to reap a reasonable return upon our capital invested.

inches in diameter, carrying 70 teeth. The results were not so satis-
factory, however, in cases where direct steam feed was applied to these
saws, with hardly any limit to the speed. I have seen a log fed 17
inches to a revolution of a saw of the above size. Uniform thickness
of lumber or width of cats was quite out of the question with such
rapid feed. In some mills at that time the single circular saw and
carriage were installed for slabbing the logs, but the results were
the same as with the twin or span circular whenever steam feeds were
used without a limit.

After the introduction of the circular saw, there came the iron
frame oscillating gang which was used for sawing the cants made by
the twin and single circular saws, as it was thought by some of the
lumbermen that more lumber could be produced by using a smaller
number of machines. This was one of the ways in which they at-

tempted to meet the situation created by the smaller logs. They suc-

ceeded to a certain extent, but it was found that the lumber produced
with equipment of this type was not so smooth or so well cut in any
particular as that which was produced with the old style gangs carry-
ing thicker saws, longer stroke and less feed per stroke, the limit be-
ing 5 to 8 inches per stroke.

The Automatic Saw Sharpener

In the year 1884 a most important change was introduced in the
method of sharpening saws when the automatic emery wheel saw
sharpener came into general use in the mills on the Ottawa. This
was found to be a great advantage in many respects, especially when
associated with the pressure swages for spreading the points of the
saw teeth. The time required for fitting up saws was considerably
reduced. Saws of 14 gauge were now recommended for the oscillating
gangs, this being three gauges less than that formerly in use. A saw
kerf of 5/32 of an inch was tried as recommended, being 1/16 of an
inch less than that of the 11 gauge saws. The good points in favor
of the thinner saw and the oscillating gang were that they took out
1/16 of an inch less in kerf, operated at 75 to 100 strokes per minute
faster speed, took 4% of an inch increase per stroke in feed and handled
cants up to and including 12 ins. thick “doubled.”

proposition today from what it was a generation ago. Not

only has there been a great change in the logging end of

the industry as a result of the disappearance of the virgin
timber, but the difference in the class of logs now being brought to
the mills has rendered necessary a great many important changes in _
the equipment of the sawmills. The equipment that was quite satis-
factory twenty or thirty years ago would not be acceptable in the
sawmills that are operated in the Maritime Provinces today. In those
- earlier days the standard mill equipment consisted of the single log
live gang, edger and trimmer. The slabs and edgings produced by
this equipment were usually converted into laths. About 200 r.p.m.
was the average speed of the single log live gang. The gang was
equipped with 8 or 9 gauge saws. The teeth were given 134 in. pitch
and the saw carried from 1% in. to 134 in. feed to each stroke.

This equipment, operating upon logs of the ordinary size of that
time, would manufacture from 40,000 to 60,000 superficial feet per ten
hours. It produced lumber at a lower cost than any other mill either
before or since, but it also resulted in an enormous quantity of waste
in slabs and edgings, and in the roughness of the surface produced,
which necessitated further manufacturing in order to produce a sat-
isfactory surface. Naturally, the operators of those days had their
attention drawn to the problem developing out of this waste. In the
end, the necessity for more economical operation led to the adoption
of different methods of manufacturing.

, ; NHE production of lumber in Eastern Canada is quite a different

Evolution Apparently Still in Progress

The evolution of the sawmill that has taken place since the old
live gang was discarded has not produced any definite style of mill
that has been so universally acceptable to lumber manufacturers of a
generation ago. It is scarcely possible at the present time to find
two operators who hold the same opinion as to what should be in-
cluded in the equipment of a standard mill for the manufacture of logs
into the various dimensions and of the exactness demanded by the
different markets of today.

Although an increased price is obtained for lumber today, as
compared with a few years ago, the manufacturer does not reap a
corresponding benefit. There has been such a great increase in the
cost of logs delivered at the mill and in the cost of labor that the
increased price of lumber is practically offset thereby. It is essential,
in connection with a modern mill which is to be operated profitably
on the very much smaller logs that are now secured, that it must
effect the greatest possible economy in labor and lumber, while at the
same time it must be capable of producing the maximum of quantity
and quality. In the endeavor to secure these results millmen nowa-
days are not yet able to agree as to what should constitute the equip-
ment of a standard mill adapted to meet the requirements of the
eastern lumber trade.

The circular mill has never been a really serious competitor of
the live gang during the past, except in’cases in which a mill was

saw behind the circular gang to convert the sidings into thinner
lumber. ’

Many mills in Eastern Canada still retain the circular carriage,
but new mills are not being equipped in this manner when the supply
of lumber justifies more modern machinery.

When oné takes into consideration the relative costs of saws and
filing, the most favorable showing is made by the stock gang. The
band mill makes the most costly showing and'the circular gang comes
in between these two.

I have outlined my own views in regard to these matters briefly,
in the hope that they may be of some interest and value to other
readers who have similar problems to solve. I feel that it will only
be by an extensive interchange of views among those who are handling
these questions that a satisfactory understanding of the problem of
sawmill equipment in Eastern Canada will be reached.

An interchange of such views from ‘correspondents, published in
the Canada Lumberman, would be a great help to us in coming to
a conclusion as to just what equipment should be installed in a modern
sawmill in Eastern Canada. ,

sibly has made his request several times, but has been told that there
was no hurry until the spring, when the repairs would begin. This
putting off repairs until the spring is a great mistake in many cases.
When the sawing is about to begin it will probably be too late in
quite a number of important cases to have the repairs or renewals
attended to as thoroughly as they should and have the mill ready for
operation when it is required.

Cleanliness is Infectious

Is tt not astonishing how often one comes across these distress-
ing conditions in connection with a sawmill? As a matter of common-
sense, practically anyone would know at a glance that the results of
this indifference and carelessness must be serious loss, and that ordin-
ary business-like methods would do away with all this difficulty at
practically no expense worth considering. There are, fortunately,
many notable exceptions to this situation, but on the other hand
there are far too many cases in which these conditions exist to a
greater or less extent. There seems to be something about the at-
mosphere of a sawmill, or the make-up of those engaged in operating.
it, which leads regularly to these results unless a definite practice is
made of keeping everything continually cleaned up and in good shape.
It is all the more important, therefore, that the manufacturing lum-
berman should make a fight against this tendency. Unless this is
done there is sure to be great deterioration, equipment of every
description going more or less to rot before notice is taken of exist-
ing conditions. Apparently, the offenders in this connection travel
along the line of least resistance, having an idea that anything is
good enough for a sawmill, and especially for an old sawmill; where-
as ordinary business intelligence would convince them that they
ought to give this matter more attention almost than they give to the
selling of their output. The up-keep of the mill is, in fact, the place
where the general business course of any lumber manufacturer will
take its most definite step towards success or failure. A good ex-
ample set at this stage of operations will produce not only efficient
manufacturing conditions in the plant, but an infectious cleanliness
and care about all the business methods of the company.

Nowadays, when the labor market has been so greatly disturbed’
by the enlistment of large numbers of men for overseas service, it is
a more difficult matter than ever to maintain a clean mill,’ but it is
none the less important to do so, so far as possible. Every day, in
fact continually throughout the day, the operation of the mill should
be accompanied by a continual fight against the accumulation of
debris and dirt. Then, at the end of the year’s operations, as soon
as the last log has been cut in the fall, the mill should be given a
complete clean-up. This will prevent great loss; it will reduce de-
preciation ; it will almost eliminate the fire risk; and it will leave very
little to be done the following spring when operations are to be re-
sumed. It will, in fact, save many a dollar for the lumber manufac-
turer. :

sion of Canada’ s industries will prove helpful.

for Canadian products, a brief survey and divi-

Canada’s industries may be said to be located
as follows:
Eastern peal: wana eens mining
Prairie Provi
Extreme West—Lumbering, mining.

Both east and west have industries other than
those mentioned, that are common to both, such as
farming and fruit growing. The mining industry
accounts for a very big slice of Canada’s wealth
and operates in both the east and the west.

Eastern Canada, the most thickly populated
portion of the Dominion, produces the great bulk of
the manufactured articles for the use of the re-
mainder, while the far west province of British
Columbia has a stock of raw material in lumber
sufficient to supply all Canada’s needs and, indeed,
those of a considerable portion of the world besides.
The prairie provinces are the great common consum-
ing market for the manufactures of both Eastern
Canada and British Columbia. In addition to this
common market, British Columbia and Eastern
Canada carry on a moderate trade as between themselves, the bal-
ance being largely in favor of the east. We propose to deal in the
following “brief remarks with the British Columbia lumber supply
and the Eastern Canadian lumber requirements, under the following
heads :—

1. The ‘ability of British Columbia to supply lumber of the
highest quality and unlimited quantity. u

2. The requirements of Eastern Canada in lumber.

3. Why Eastern Canada should buy British Columbia. lumber
in preference to imported lumber.

Before dealing with the first of these considerations, let us look
for a moment into the available native lumber in Eastern Canada.
The stands of high grade lumber in Eastern Canada are fast becom-
ing depleted, especially in timbers where strength is required and a
high clear quality of finish is sought. The clear grades in eastern
pines are at a prohibitive price for ordinary work. Eastern spruce
has neither the strength or size required for structural work. Eastern
hemlock is largely used in small dimension stock, but only for the
reason that it is wood and comparatively cheap, certainly not on
account of its high quality and suitability for building work. ‘The
east, therefore, not having in large quantities at low prices a supply
of native woods with strength values and finish qualities demanded
by good modern construction must turn elsewhere for the supply
which their own woods cannot fill.

Our wideawake friends south of the line, ever ready to fill any
requirement in any commodity in any market, realized that here in
Eastern Canada a splendid market awaited them. Thus, without
delay, the Southern pine manufacturers quickly built up a large con-
nection in Eastern Canada. Georgia pine was laid down at various
points in the east at prices which appeared to defy competition from
the distant British Columbia woods.

The Dominion Government returns for values of imports for the
years 1913 and 1915 in pitch pine lumber, rough sawn, and lumber

The returns are given for 1913, as that year represents a year
of normally good business, while 1915 represents a year of abnormal
business conditions resulting in a very small consumption. Surely,
in the space of twelve al months, Canada should not import over

abundance and excellence within her own borders?

B.C. Shipbuilding Bill Discussed
Important Measure Introduced to Promote
Export Lumber Trade.

During the discussion upon the shipbuilding bill in the B. C.
Legislature on May 5th, Mr. H. B. Thomson (Victoria), made a num-
ber of interesting statistical statements about the industry. He said
that B. C. coast mills have a capacity of 700 million feet of lumber
annually. Of this, 280 million feet was available for export. This
280 million feet of lumber could not be shipped to the large overseas
markets unless the Government furnished loans to shipbuildérs and
paid a bonus for the operation of the vessels. In referring to over-
seas markets he stated that the Australian market could take
$10,500,000 worth of lumber, New Zealand $2,500,000, South Africa
$6,000,000, and that large quantities could also be taken by South
America, India, Japan, The Straits Settlements and East Africa. At
present, on account of lack of vessels, Canada was selling only $265,000
worth of lumber to Australia, whereas the United States, which had
a fair supply of vessels, was selling $7,000,000 worth in that market,
Norway and Sweden were selling $420,000 worth, and Russia $323,000
worth. In addition, Australia was buying $140,000 worth of box
shooks, of which 80 per cent. was supplied in normal times by Ger-
many, Sweden and Norway, and practically none by Canada. °

British Columbia at the present time, Mr. Thomson said, was in
the position of a grocery store which was trying to run its business
without a delivery wagon. At present, British Columbia lumbermen
vere being charged in the neighborhood of $1.50 a thousand feet more
than Washington and Oregon lumbermen had to pay, because present
tonnage charters from British Columbia ports were controlled by
Americans. : j

The bill introduced in the Legislature provides for the appoint-
ment of a Shipping Credit Commission with power to loan money for
the construction of ships; to subsidize ships when constructed, and
to guarantee interest upon the bonds of shipbuilding concerns to the
extent of 6 per cent. It is, stated that the Government has already
received offers from legitimate dock yard companies that are willing
to proceed with the construction of large graving docks at once and to
build vessels therein. Other shipping men are said to be ready to
operate the vessels out of British Columbia ports carrying British
Columbia lumber and produce as soon as the construction of the ships
has been completed. 3

The Shipping Credit Commission will be composed of two direc-
tors and a superintendent, all appointed by the Government, with the
Deputy Minister of Finance an ex-officio member. The Commission
will borrow money through the Government and lend it to shipbuild-
ers at 6 per cent., to be repaid within five years, one-fifth at least every
year. Each loan is to be limited to 55 per cent. of the value of the
ship, which must be built and registered in British Columbia. The
Commission is to take a first mortgage on the whole value of the
vessel, and is to be managing owner until the loan is repaid. The
vessel must not leave the British Columbia trade until the money has
been repaid to the Goyernment. A special clause in the bill states

106

that owners of the vessels must not charge a larger freight rate than
is prevalent for similar commodities in the State of Washington. The
measure applies only to ocean going vessels upon which construction
is commenced within one year from the passage of the bill.

In regard to bonuses, the bill states that vessels up to the num-
ber of 20 may be bonused to the maximum extent of $5 a ton per year
for a period of ten years. The subsidizing provision, howeye;s, will
apply only after the war, when a reduction in the earning power of

proposal which is earning 15 per cent. interest for.its owners. Deep
sea craft at present are making at least 20 per cent. and in many cases
over 100 per cent. per annum. lor a ten year period, commencing one
year after the conclusion of peace, the Commission will make up any
deficiency between the ship’s earning capacity and 15 per cent. of her
actual cost. The bill guarantees 55 per cent. of the actual cost of
constructing shipbuilding, repairing and docking plants in British
Columbia, by guaranteeing interest at 6 per cent. upon the bonds of
such plants.

Shipbuilding and Export Trade

Grading and Tallying Bureau Suggested as a Government
Undertaking—The Tonnage Problem.

Editor Canada Lumberman :— Wictorias ibe.

“The Government of British Columbia. contemplates speculating
the sum of two million dollars in an endeavor to foster the lumber
industry by financially assisting a shipbuilding industry. I use the
word ‘speculating’ advisedly for the reason that it was publicly stated
that wooden ships to carry lumber would result in those ships earn-
ing 100 per cent. per arinum! Considering that in British Columbia
we have so little experience in building wooden ships, and that there
are people on the Pacific Coast of the United States who have been
a generation in the shipbroking, ship-owning and shipbuilding. busi-
ness, who are not to any large extent building ships to earn these
enormous dividends, the spending of two million of dollars savors
more of a speculation than an investment.

“There is no question, and there never has been a question as
to whether British Columbia should do a large export lumber trade.
It should do four times the trade of the United States Pacific trade,
for the reason of Great Britain’s mercantile marine. There is no
question as to why British Columbia has not had its fair share of the
_ export trade, the reason is obvious; British Columbia has had to buy
its freight through its competitors in the United States.

“A large proportion of the standing timber in British Columbia
is American owned or controlled, American standing timber has heavy
carrying charges. A group of financiers controlling both American
and British Columbian standing timber would naturally use all their
endeavors to cut their American timber in preference to their British
Columbian timber.

“The leading people in the British Columbia Lumbermen’s As-
sociation, those who ‘have the ear of the government, and the Boards
of Trade, represent mills that are controlled by American capital.
These mills get the greatest proportion of the small export trade that
British Columbia is allowed to have. Most of the British-owned
lumber mills are closed down.

“Building ships to the value of two million dollars would mean
a carrying capacity of 30,000,000 feet b.m. per annum. The American
ship brokers last year, even while the abnormal conditions of war
obtained, secured freight for more than three times this amount for
shipment to just one British colony—Australia. Shipbuilding under
present conditions of labor and finance will not immediately foster
the export lumber trade. The natural evolution is from ship broker
to ship owner, and ship owner to shipbuilder.

“The British Columbian British millowner wants to be in a posi-
tion immediately to obtain freights on equal terms with his com-
petitor, and only the government can assist him to do this. There is
no monopoly in freights, there is gambling in ‘futures,’ but all freights
‘are open to competition, and are mostly handled in London. The big
shipping men in San Francisco all have their branch houses or agents
in London, and are in cable communication daily with all freights
offered or ordered. ;

“Under present circumstances no individual export lumberman
can expect to compete with these old-established firms operating their
ship-broking business on the Pacific Coast, but with the assistance
of the British Columbia Government they can be on equal terms or
even better terms than their American competitors.

“The government should be ‘in loco parentis’ to the export ship-
ping trade. A department should be established in London con-
trolled by a man experienced in the shipping trade in London, to

trade. > Si

“Tt is not necessary to establish resident commissioners, or sé
them round the world to talk on the merits of Douglas fir—our Ami
can competitors have done all this pioneer work, and an india-r
stamp ‘guaranteed equal to Oregon pine,’ and the grading an

fare :

In considering the possibilities
and_ probabilities with which
lumbermen seem to be confronted
at the present moment, and in
commingling our prospects for the
immediate future with thoughts
of the past, we find that we have
much to hope for, and also many
things to regret. If in supplying
these few thoughts for the An-
nual Number of the Canada Lum-
berman I only could omit some
i of the things which I feel impelled
know that I could furnish you with an article which would
ke pleasanter reading, and perhaps have the appearance of being

much more superficially correct, but if I did this I would not be
my Own convictions, nor to the cause in which I have spent

any years in constant study.

The lumber business today may be likened unto an invalid who
suffering from a complication of deep-seated diseases. He finds
1 every hand plenty of lotions and local applications, and plenty of
tioners who are anxious, for personal gain, to try this, or that
dy, but none of them do any good; they do not reach the cause
trouble, and therefore only aggravate the malady and weaken
‘patient. Wiser and more experienced physicians, figuratively
ing, examine the patient; they know the true cause of his suf-

cided that the case is hopeless, or it may be that they have
yed for this patient before and know that he will not take their
nor follow their instructions, and consequently rather than
their reputations, they cultivate other ambitions and leave their
fession, which is so much in need of good men, and go into other
cupations, savoring more of the qualities of proportion commen-
rate with high ideals than does the lumber business of today. Many

eems to lead to a higher level?

Down Beside a Shady Pool
remember, in my childhood days, playing for hours at a time
e side of an almost stagnant pool, and as I watched from the
ying banks the dancing, glittering ripples stirred by the gentle
ezes on the surface of that pool, as the glorious sunshine from an
ure sky shone down upon them, my childish heart filled with joy
and gladness. How perfectly grand, and supremely beautiful, and
enuinely satisfying it all was to my childish nature. I did not
nor eyen think, beyond the surface of that pool, and had my
mind been able to have done so, it would have spoiled the
yhich I have carried unto this day, and which is so vivid in
ory. Then again, as the day became spent, and I had bene-
hing except from the feastings of my imaginations, the pro-
changed. The ripples ceased, and music by a choir of prob-
ny thousand voices was heard in the distance as I turned
scene. There were some very long and grating voices which
1e shiver, for | had conceived the idea that their owners were
frogs, and probably owned the pool. I have since learned
asa mistaken childish idea, and that the loudness of the

to drown the voice of the other, and as near as my childish
interpret them they were all of different opinions, and

mism. There is at the present time, however, a “ripple” on the sur-
face of the lumber business which has, I fear, brought about an un-
warrantable feeling of joy and optimism to the minds of those en-
gaged therein, while from the “banks” it can probably be seen that
it is only a ripple on the surface.

Now I would not have anything done to disturb this ripple, but
let it dance before us in all its splendor, and in all the brightness
of anticipation that can be reflected from it, but I would not have
any one deceived by the belief that it is going to develop immediately
into a big wave, for such is not likely to happen. All we have got to
do in order to settle this matter in our minds is to consider. our
prospective markets, and what has to be done before we can reach
them ; or let us consider our home building, and where are the young
men gone and going who are going to build these homes? Still,
courage is one of our grandest assets, and it is good to see so much of
it being exhibited in the land today. Courage is not dangerous.
Rashness is. If I had gone down into that pool of my early recol-
lection, and floundered in its stagnant waters and drank copiously of
them, | might not have an existance today; but I didn’t do it. I got
as much of it as was good for me, and no more, and this is my
advice to lumbermen today; get as much of the business as is good
for you, and no more. Let your neighbor have some of the good
things, for if you try to get them all he is liable to raise his voice in
an inharmonious sound which is sure to break any semblance of uni-
son that there might appear to be.

An Endless Serial

Lumbering in British Columbia affords a subject for an endless
story, which, like the words of Holy Writ, may be told and retold,
and never grow old. It is a subject which has more interest for the
average British Columbian than any other industrial interest at the
present day, and therefore it may be told over and over again, and
the light of discussion so reflected that it will brong out before the
listener-reader many different phases which have hitherto not been
reflected. The lumbering industry in this province is one which means
more to British Columbia, if not to the whole of Canada than any
other of our five great industries, the other four of which are mining,
fishing, agriculture and commerce, and therefore is a subject worthy
of all the discussion and consideration which has hitherto been spent
upon it by the best minds.

The application of principle by which the manufacturing and mer-
chandising of lumber is controlled should be scientific in the true
and logical analysis of the word. A game that is worth while, if
it is to be played successfully must be understood, and so it is with .
this industry. There are no great mysteries about it, but it does
extend to and take its root from depths beneath the surface, which
can only be reached by close application and scientific study of both
principle and practice. The one great trouble with the lumber busi-
ness as it is conducted today is that there are too many in the busi-
ness who are working by guess and by “Gaston.” They guess they
are right, and by Gaston when they have transacted the business they
find they were wrong. ~

“There’s a Silver Lining”

Despite the foregoing phases of the situation, which we greatly
deplore, but upon which I will not dwell further in this article, it is
much easier for a man who does not wish to bear the stigma of being
a pessimist to discuss the lumber business today than it has been for
some time, and for this we are all very thankful; I know we are. This
condition of affairs, which puts words in our mouths which can be
truthfully spoken today, but which would have had but little mean-
ing a year ago, has been brought about by that one great and mighti-
est of all agents—energy. Some people seem to think there are dif-
ferent kinds of energy, but this is a mistake. It is the same energy,
but differently applied. Energy may lie inactive, or it may be irre-
pressibly employed. It may be directed in various ways, and with
varying results, but it is the same energy and comes from the same
source. The energy that makes the world go round is the same energy
which is behind the lumber business in this province today, and if
carefully and properly applied it is going to make the business hum
in spite of all its afflictions. Energy may be constructive or destruc-
tive, corrupted or perverted, but disguise it as you will, it is the same
power which dominates the great forces of yesterday, today, and for-

108

ever. It is God-given, and neither man, Kaiser nor devil can kill it.

We are being forced on, even beyond our most sanguine hopes
of a year ago by this great and all powerful agent which evolves all
good things, and the evolution is already beginning to give us glimpses
into the future that are very gratifying. Things are looking decidedly
better, and unless we do something that will bring a blight upon our
prospects by some itresponsible act committed without due delibera-
tion, there is a brighter future, which ought to be made a reasonably
profitable one, now lying before us, and while we have in the past,
with all due reverence said, “Give us this day our daily bread,” we
hope that in the future we may be able to have a little butter on it.
I cannot pass from here though, without sounding a word of warning,
for a great danger is imminent. A great revival is upon us. Not
great perhaps in the sense of proportion in which we have been ac-
customed to consider greatness in past years, but great because of
the mighty hidden power which is forcing it upon us in the face of all
obstacles. You might as well try to turn the tide as to stop this
force; not even the Kaiser and all his hell-bound forces have been
able to do it. It will take its course, but will do no harm, so do not
get excited. I sound this warning because there are some people to
be found in a revival of any kind who are not rooted beneath the sur-
face, and who lose their equilibrium so easily that they not only make
themselves appear riduculously irresponsible, but their acts may result
in untold injury to others.

Judgment was handed down recently in the Supreme Court of
Nova Scotia, deciding that all men who are engaged in the lumber
business are not necessarily lumbermen. The judge giving this deci-
sion, if he has never been engaged in the lumber business himself,
has at least some powers of discovery, as well as the courage of his
convictions.

We sometimes hear the remark that “competition is the life of
trade,” but I never could quite concur in this statement without quali-
fication. Healthy competition may give a stimulus to trade, but
blind competition is sure death every time, and the worst and most
miserable of all deaths of this nature is when a man is his own exe-
cutioner. Even though he may pull others down with him, wherein
is he benefitted? “Ah,” he says in frenzied excitement, “but we kept
those fellows on the other side out anyway, even though we didn’t
make anything ourselves.” Would it not be infinitely better to have
maintained a price that would have enabled them to have sent a few
cars in, than to have used such methods as we have used in the past
to keep them out? Let us remember the lesson of the dog and the
shadow, and be satisfied with a fair prospect of making a little profit
from a reasonable volume of business.

It has been said that a certain number of fleas are good for a dog,
but the dog did not say so. If he could be heard he would doubtless
tell a different story. He not only finds them a nuisance, but they are
sapping his strength. Blind competition such as we have seen in
the lumber business is just as good for the business as fleas are for
a dog. If we were working only for the good of our health, and to
develop muscle, then nothing could be said against some of the meth-
ods which we so often see employed. The trouble is, though, that
we are looking, for more, and it is also.costing us more to look. We

The Cooperage

HE manufacture of cooperage stock in Ontario is one of the
slack barrel staves that were manufactured under the pre-
oldest industries we have. So far as I can learn, the first
sent system were made at Iroquois, Ont., in 1862, by Mr.

Patton, this being the earliest record we have of staves being manu-
factured with the concave knife. Before that large quantities of slack

‘barrel staves were made in Ontario by hand, from red oak, by splitting
the staves from bolts and then hand-dressing them, the same as white
oak staves were hand-dressed in England until very recently. In
fact white oak staves are still hand-dressed to quite a large extent in
England and on the Continent, by using in-shave and out-shave

knives.

Since 1862 the manufacture of cooperage stock in Ontario has

developed into very large proportions, the high production lasting
from 1884 until about 1910, when the timber (more especially elm
timber), began to be scarce, and the production commenced to de-
‘crease. Probably the high-water mark was reached in 1890, when

‘there were several mills at nearly every station in Kent, Essex and
Lambton counties, and a great many mills at other points, which
are now out of business. At the present time, the business is widely
distributed over Ontario, and while there are not the number of
mills there were in 1890, and the production has decreased, the busi-
ness is still a very important one, and requires a large number of
men, both in the woods and in the mills.

While the favorite timber for slack barrel staves is elm, which is

the only timber to amount to anything that is used for hoops, and

while basswood is the favorite timber for heading, staves are manu-

_factured from birch, maple, poplar, basswood, beech, ash and spruce,

‘and heading is manufactured from basswood, poplar, elm, maple,

beech, birch and spruce. The highest priced staves are elm, and they

are the most satisfactory staves to work. The only hoops that have
proved satisfactory are elm hoops, when made from logs, but quite

Industry in Ontario

By J. Innes

a large number of bark hoops are used, made by splitting and dress-
ing small saplings, principally hickory and oak being used, although
chestnut and white ash make good hoops. In heading, while bass-
wood is the easiest to work, almost any of the native timbers in
Ontario, if properly treated, will make good heading for any purpose,
and as basswood is becoming very scarce, I believe that birch is the
coming timber for heading.

Lumbering in the cooperage business is done, to a very large
extent, by farmers, who can employ their teams in the winter, when
they have nothing else to do, but the large cooperage concerns sup-
plement the farmers’ work by employing numbers of teams of their
own, and almost invariably use their own cutters in sawing down

the trees. As the timber is getting scarcer, and farther away from the

mills, a great deal of it is railed in, or brought in by water, in the
shape of logs or bolts. Very few of the concerns now manufacturing
cooperage stock own large timber limits. The timber is mostly owned
by settlers, and is for sale, standing in the woods, or delivered to the
mills or railroad. On the logs or bolts arriving at the mills they are
manufactured into staves, hoops and heading.

Handling Stave Logs

For the manufacture of staves, the logs are put through the saw-
mill and made into bolts. The bolts are then put into the steam-
boxes, steamed for twenty-four hours, so as to make them soft and
cut easily, and then cut on a stave knife, which cuts on a 20-inch
circle, five staves being cut out of each 2 inches of the bolt. The
staves are then piled on the yard, or in sheds, to season. After being
seasoned they are jointed with a diamond-shaped knife, which puts
on the required bilge, and are packed up in bundles of sixty staves
each (graded according to quality), and are ready for the market.

The hoop logs are taken into the mill, sawn into hoop plank,
1% in. thick, and whatever length is required for the particular hoop

110

that is to be manufactured, the standard hoop being 6 feet in length.
These plank are then put in boiling vats, and boiled from twelve to
fifteen hours. They are then taken to the cutting machine, which cuts
the hoops, six hoops to 2 ins. in thickness. The hoops are then stood
on end to cool off and after being thoroughly. cooled are taken to the
planers. The planers plane the “hoops a uniform thickness, putting
on the necessary finish, and they are then carried from there to the
pointer and lapper. The pointer and lapper puts the point on the
hoops and the other end is thinned to what is called the lap. From
there the hoops go to a vat, where they are again boiled so as to make
them flexible, and from there they are taken to the coilers, where
they are coiled in coils of ten hoops each, and after being piled in
the sheds to dry they are ready for shipment.

The Manufacture of Heading

Heading is manufactured either from logs or bolts. If it is manu-

factured from logs the logs are run through the mill and reduced to
bolts. The bolts are taken to the slicer, which slices them into boards,
5% in. thick, and in most cases they are taken from there and piled in
the yard for seasoning, although in some mills they are taken direct
from the slicer and piled in the kilns and kiln-dried direct from the
slicer. The ordinary way of manufacturing here is to pile them in
the yard first, and season them for about sixty days. They are then
taken from the yard and piled on cars in the kiln, where they are kiln-
dried, from thirty-six to seventy-two hours, according to how well
air-dried they have been. From the kiln they are taken out into the
open, where they are left for twenty-four hours to cool off, so as to be
tempered. They are then run through the planer, and planed off on
one side, and from there to the jointer, which straightens the edges
of the boards, and from there to the matcher, which matches up the
boards to the necessary width for the size of heading that is to be
turned. From there they go to the turner who turns them whatever
size is demanded by the customer. After leaving the turner they go
to the packer and are put up in bundles of twenty sets each, packed
by a power press, and bound with heavy wires or iron bands, when
they are ready for shipment. .

Head liners in Ontario are mostly manufactured from parts of
hoops which are too short to make good hoops, and are run through
a planer and then packed up in bundles of 250 each, and after being
piled on the yards and seasoned they are ready for shipment.

The stock, after being manufactured at Ontario mills, goes to
markets practically all over the world. While a large part of the stock
manufactured is consumed in Canada, shipments are made in large
quantities to Europe, more especially to the British Isles and the
Mediterranean ports, and here we might say that the present war
has created a demand from Mediterranean ports for large quantities
of stock which formerly used to be supplied from Austria, Germany
and Russia. The principal export market, however, is the United
Kingdom, as, on account of most other countries making staves, in a
larger or smaller way, there is quite a tariff against Canadian staves,
and this shuts out our stock to some extent.

Barrel and Keg Consumption Increasing

While the manufacture of cooperage in Canada has decreased
during the last ten years, the consumption of barrels and kegs in
Canada has increased, and from present indications, with the agitation
for sanitary packages, it looks as if the consumption would still fur-
ther increase. There is no question that, as a handy package, and a
sanitary package, the barrel is the best on earth, and while cheaper
packages will no doubt always find many advocates where a strong
and sanitary package is required there is nothing to equal the barrel.

During the last couple of years quite a number of staves have
been imported from the United States, and also some hoops. This
is not because there is not enough stock manufactured in Canada to
take care of the home trade, but sometimes the demand for export,
and for near-by points in the United States is so heavy that’it pays
the manufacturers to import stock from the Southern States, instead
of carrying their own stock for months.

While there used to be a large quantity of tight barrel staves
manufactured in Canada, whole vessel loads being shipped from On-
tario to Europe, the oak in Ontario has now been pretty well used up
and very few tight barrel staves are manufactured here. What we
class as tight barrel stock are staves and heading required for bar-
rels, containing liquids, more especially volatile liquids, such as alco-
hol and malt liquids. Nearly all of the staves and heading required
for this business are now imported from the Southern States, and
what oak there is left in Canada is used for other purposes, as the
quality of the white oak in Canada is very much superior to the
Southern oak, both in quality and figure, and is in good demand for
furniture, or purposes where great: strength is required, or hard-
wearing qualities are desired.

As to the future of the cooperage industry in Canada, Northern
Ontario has immense tracts of timber still undeveloped, some elm
and basswood, but principally birch, maple and poplar, and this tim-
ber will keep the market for cooperage stock supplied for years to come.

Provincial Government Making an Intensive Study of all its Timber and Agricultural

; New Brunswick is one of the oldest centres of the lumbering in-

dustry in Canada. Nearly 300 years ago white pine from the St.

John Valley supplied masts for the French navy. When the province

came under British rule this trade was still further expanded. Masts,
squared timbers, planks, staves and shingles being supplied.
In those early days, both the Crown lands and the Customs were
administered from London, and only meagre information regarding
the extent of the industry is now available. White pine is known
to have supplied nearly the whole trade, which in 1825 reached a

_ total of 400,000 tons of squared timber, 6,000 spars, and 25,000,000 feet

of planks, boards, lathwood, etc. In that year the trade in white
pine had reached its maximum and thereafter rapidly dwindled until
at the end of the nineteenth century it had been reduced to a neg-
ligable amount, its place being taken in the export trade by spruce.
The first shipment of spruce was made in 1822, when 100,000
superficial feet of deals was sent to England. In 1850, 148,000,000 feet
was shipped, including both deals and boards, while at the present
time over 400,000,000 feet is shipped annually from our forests.
About the beginning of the twentieth century the public began
to fear that the amount of timber cut was in excess of the growth;
that spruce would follow along the same lines as pine and the industry,
one of the most important in the province, would be short lived on
account of the lack of raw material.
In 1906 the Public Domains Act was passed, providing for the
better preservation and protection of the public domains. Following
this act, in February, 1907, a Forestry Convention was held in Fred-
ericton, to consider forest protection and what the future forest policy
should be. The one immediate result of this convention was the
creation of a forest school in connection with the University of New
Brunswick.
In 1913 an act was passed authorizing the Surveyor General to

_make a survey of the Crown lands; the object sought being :—

1. To ascertain with as much detail as possible the quantity,
‘quality and character of the timber on the various areas of Crown land.

2. To determine, as near as possible, the annual growth on the
various areas.

3. To study logging conditions, estimating the cost of logging
‘and stream driving on the different areas.

___ 4. To locate and map any areas of agricultural land, distinguish-
_ ing them from other areas suitable only for the reproduction and
_ growth of timber.

This survey has been started this year and it is the intention

f of the Department to complete it at as early a date as possible. The
Crown lands consist of about 7,000,000 acres, of which 6,530,720 acres
_ is held under timber license. The chief aim of the survey is to secure
_ information for the better administration of these lands, both now

and in the future, the idea being to put the lumber industry on a
_ permanent basis in so far as the present needs will permit.

and are now cutting the second or third crop; that is, they are de-
pendent upon the annual increment to supply their mills. Is this suffi-
cient to supply their needs? Cutting down to a certain diameter, in
how many years can a return cut be obtained of equal size? These
are questions of vital importance to the industry, which will be
answered.

The logging study will show the cost and defect or advantage
of the present methods of logging as compared with other methods
used under similar conditions; where saving might be effected and
waste material utilized; also the possibility of establishing new in-
dustries, dependent largely for their raw material upon what is now
wasted from stump to manufactured product.

The agricultural classification will show clearly the areas that
are liable to be withdrawn for settlement purposes and will thus allow
the operator to plan his operation to better advantage.

The plan calls for a four per cent: cruise of the entire Crown
land area, and is one of the most intensive surveys yet undertaken
on such an extensive area; the work undertaken by the other pro-
vincial and Canadian governments being more along the lines of
general reconnaisance, except on limited areas cruised for special
purposes.

Similar work has been done by the C. P. R. in their holdings in
the Crow’s Nest; by several of the larger paper companies and by
the New Brunswick Railway Company on their lands in New
Brunswick.

Canadian Western’s New Toronto Manager

The Canadian Western Lumber Company announce to their
many friends in Eastern Canada, the appointment of Mr. L. D. Bar-
clay as manager of their Toronto sales office at 62-64 King Street
East, Toronto.

Mr. Barclay commenced in the lumber business in Ontario, but,
like many of the young men of the east, felt that with the opening
of the Panama Canal and the gradual cutting out of eastern timber
limits, the lure of the west became too strong to resist. Mr. Barclay
started with the Canadian Western Lumber Company at their Fraser
Mills’ plant in 1912, loading lumber into cars and working in the
grading sheds. Through persistent and energetic work, coupled with
a desire to learn the business thoroughly, Mr. Barclay’s promotion
was very rapid—from car loader to lumber surveyor, from surveyor
to an appointment in the shipping department and thence to the local
sales, where Mr. Barclay had-charge of the Canadian Western Lum-
ber Company’s retail sales in the city of New Westminster and sub-
urbs. Mr. Barclay later.covered the province of Saskatchewan and
from there was moved back to Toronto as assistant manager of the
Toronto office. Upon the resignation of Mr. Hugh A. Rose, Mr. Bar-
clay has been appointed manager of the office. His thorough experi-
ence of Pacific Coast lumber, coupled with a knowledge of eastern
Canadian conditions, and an acquaintance with so many of the eastern
Canadian trade, made Mr. Bar-
clay the logical man for the posi-
tion.

The appointment is in line with
the policy of the Canadian West-
ern Lumber Company, in that it
believes in educating its repre-
sentatives, who are to meet the
trade, first of all in the manufac-
turing and grading of its products,
and when they demonstrate their
ability in this line, they are sent
out to represent the company in
different markets where British
Columbia woods are being used.

Hon. G. Howard ~ Ferguson,
Minister of Lands, Forests and
Mines for the Province of On-
tario, has decided to open the Gil-
lies timber limits on the Montreal
River once more, for prospecting

- and staking, and also for sale or
lease for mining operations.

Canadian White Pine

Wood Substitutes and Imported Lumber Reaping Benefits of Publicity While WI

Pine Stays

portant developments in connection with the lumber industry

in the United States during the past few years has been the

growth of the co-operative movement for the advertising of
important lines of lumber. One might name a long list of special lines
of lumber in the United States which are now being successfully ad-
vertised by those who are chiefly interested in their production or
marketing. We may indicate the nature of this list simply by men-
tioning a few of the varieties of lumber, such as Arkansas soft pine,
cypress, redwood, northern hemlock, white pine, etc.

This development is a logical result of the fact that practically
all other lines of natural products manufactured in the United States
have been extensive users of advertising space for many years past,
and those which compete with lumber have been cutting seriously
into the markets that were formerly supposed to be the natural and
sole possession of the lumber manufacturers.

Now that the advertising of lumber has been clearly demonstrated
as a feasible and profitable scheme in the United States, and as it
has been so definitely worked out along the line of advertising special
varieties of lumber, the manufacturers of which pool their interests
and share the expense, the question naturally comes up why some-
thing of the same sort should not be done in Canada. There are cer-
tain varieties of lumber in Canada which seem to require something
of this nature in order to put new life into their markets. Everyone
who knows anything about lumber history in Canada will; when read-
ing this, think first of the case of Canadian white pine, the old king
of Canadian lumber, which, on account of the heavy drain made upon
the white pine forests and on account of the co-operation of many
other curious and adverse factors, has been deprived of its old place
in the sun, has come upon evil days, and is sadly in need of something
that will put it back into the honorable place in public esteem which
it so richly merits.

The Finest Soft Wood in the World

Let us assume, what practically every lumberman knows, that
white pine is the finest softwood that has ever been produced, and
that the public if they had not been wooed away from it by the argu-
ments of those who are interested in other lines of wood, and other
substitute products, would now be consuming far greater quantities
of their old favorite than they are. Then let us call to mind the
success of the substitutes, both wood and otherwise, and we question
if anyone, whether he be interested in white pine or not, will contra-
dict the statement that white pine ought to be advertised. One of
the largest manufacturers of white pine in Ontario, a firm which has
had long experience both in the manufacture of lumber and in the
production of finished articles of various kinds made out of lumber,
writing to us recently says that one of the biggest arguments in
favor of the inauguration of an advertising campaign for white pine
is that practically every other kind of wood is being extensively ad-
vertised and people are becoming so used to using articles that are
advertised that the demand for white pine is suffering correspondingly.
It is almost ridiculous, this writer says, to note how much faith the
public puts in anything that is advertised; in fact there seems to be
almost no limit to the amount they will believe, so long as they see
it in an advertisement. This is not suggested as a reason for ad-
vertising white pine, which fortunately has ample merits for a good
advertising campaign, but it is mentioned merely by way of illustrat-
ing how the advertising of other materials which have not the natural
advantages of white pine, has eaten into the market. The insidious
effect of advertising is, in fact, something which ought to be very
definitely borne in mind, because it can be made to produce splendid.
results in the case of white pine, both for the manufacturer and the
consumer. Every lumberman knows how frequently he comes across"
someone who knows little or nothing about lumber, but who, after
reading advertisements, or talking with someone who has been read-
_ing them, will come out with an assertion that a certain class of lum-
ber is superior to any other, for certain kinds of work, not really
knowing anything whatever about the matter. He simply has been
educated into such a belief by the force of advertising. a

The greatest home of advertising in the world is the United
States, and we are not surprised, therefore, to find that the woods of.
the Southern States have been. among the first to benefit from adver- ;
tising ; nor are we surprised to see that this advertising campaign has.
produced effects not only in the United States, but in Canada, and

as a building material and to give the preference to those fe
lines that have been advertised. The education has re

quired this unfortunate habit to a regrettable extent and ha
specifying southern woods in great quantities. Architects are, 1
responsible to a considerable extent for the importation of Ar
woods into Canada. But are they really to be blamed for follov
along the line of least resistance? 3 >

If the manufacturers of Canadian woods, white pine for ir
are not sufficiently interested in their product to make a fight
market, how.can the architect be expected to take any intere
Canadian woods? It might be thought- that a Canadian ar
would be patriotic enough to favor Canadian woods wherev:

where the advertising campaign on the part of the prod
American woods has got in its fine work. In the absence
persuasion regarding Canadian woods, and in the presence of
definite advertising by American producers, many Canadian ar
have come, almost conscientiously, to the conclusion that the i
of their clients are best served in many cases by the use of s
woods. ;

Probably this situation applies more definitely to the case of
pine in Ontario than to any other case which we could ment

as was sometimes the case. is one of the wonders of modern com-
mercial traffic, seeing the rate is equal to less than $5 per 1,000 feet
B.M. After the war commenced freights began to advance, at first
slowly, but later by leaps and bounds, till 45s., the current rate when
hostilities commenced, has become 350s., with more enquirers for
tormmage than steamers available.

It is quite certain, there will be an immense demand for wood on
peace being restored. Man requires first of all food, then clothing and
next shelter, and except in a tropical clime the need for the latter is
almost as imperative as for the former, though not so immediately
pressing. Of all possible material a shelter can be most readily con-
structed with wood. Scantlings and boards are readily transported,
quickly. put together and form an efficient shelter.

The Crimean war in 1854 created the last high-water mark of
wood prices in the United Kingdom, and at the.close of that war they
fell heavily and rapidly, but conditions were entirely different in many
respects from the present, and no comparison can be drawn. ©

It seems certain that, after the war, new commercial conditions
will obtain. For the United Kingdom the income tax and death duties,
the spirit and beer excise and customs, the tobacco and tea duties, the
post office and other present sources of revenue, will probably be in-
sufficient in their product to meet interest on the National Debt of the
future, pay war and old age pensions, and- defray general necessary
expenditure, so it is highly probable an extended customs tariff will
be necessitated. This will give an opening for Colonial preference
that hitherto has been wanting, and is quite likely to benefit the Can-
adian wood trade. Each of the Overseas Dominions might arrange
its-own tariff on its own lines as heretofore, but by common agree-
ment each portion of the Empire might concede a reduction of one-
third of the duty to any other part, with some possible necessary ex-
emptions, to apply to all, such as spirits and tobacco. It is regrettable
that the one-third concession, or British preference, which was at
one time the special feature of the Canadian customs tariff was ever
abandoned for the present system of three separate rates in the same
tariff. Formerly each Canadian province made its own tariff and
held its own customs boundary. At Confederation this was swept
away and free trade within the Dominion arranged, with a common
customs boundary. The same process followed in Australia and South
Africa, and in the long run no one was the worse and all benefitted.
Is not the next logical step free trade between the four Dominions
and any other British possession that desires to come into the arrange-
ment, or failing free trade, as large a percentage preference on the
tariff of each Dominion as may be ‘found possible or advisable. Does
anyoné suppose the result would be disastrous for Canada, if she
admitted duty free everything except spirits and -tobacco that Aus-
tralia, South Africa and New Zealand could send her in return for
a‘similar concession on the part of these Dominions, and how great
a benefit would the corresponding concession be to the lumber trade
of the Pacific Coast and Canada, generally, in connection with Austra-
lasian and South African business. The United Kingdom might still
be limited to a tariff percentage reduction as at present, till she had
defined her new tariff and decided on her future customs policy.

The Rate of Exchange

~ “The question of the rate of exchange, at one time during the war,
a source of very considerable anxiety to Canadian and American ship-
pers to the United Kingdom, now seems well in hand. The sovereign,
or pound sterling, payable in London, for a time lost a portion of its
purchasing power in the markets of this continent. Early in Septem-
ber last year, while Canadian banks would readily give in exchange
for fifteen sovereigns the sum of seventy-three dollars, they would
only give about sixty-eight dollars for a sight draft on London for
fifteen pounds sterling, a heavy loss to shippers of wood and all pro-
duce. The situation was finally relieved and exchange brought back
to approximately its normal condition by the British Government
purchasing and mobilizing American securities held in England, and
transferring some for realization to the markets of the United States,
so re-establishing the balance of trade which had been upset by heavy
shipments of munitions and produce from this side against greatly
reduced imports fronr the United Kingdom. It is remarkable that the
remedy was first suggested by a correspondent of the Montreal
Gazette on August 23rd last, though not adopted in London till all
other attempts to adjust matters otherwise had been found inadequate.

The wood export trade of Canada need have no fear of a return of
such adverse exchange conditions as prevailed for a time last year.
In the present scarcity of ocean tonnage it seems regrettable that
interned German steamers should be idle in United States ports. If
they, could be sold by auction to the highest bidder, the proceeds of
the sale to be held instead of the steamers by the Government of
the United States till the declaration of peace, both the owners of the

had and are still having a direct bearing upon the lumber

trades. Some of these conditions were brought into exist-

ence almost as soon as war was declared and have affected the
trade ever since; others have been created or developed at a com-
paratively recent date, but are none the less making their influence
felt. Separately or combined these conditions have produced results
such as were never before known in the history of the lumber trade,
and such as are by no means likely to be experienced again.

Early in the war came what practically amounted'to the closing
of the ports of Northern Europe. Some of these, it is true, were still
nominally open, but the attendant risks largely discounted their com-
mercial value. When the cost of importing European lumber became
in a measure prohibitory, British buyers were forced to look elsewhere

r AM HE war has created a number of new conditions which have

for their supplies and, very naturally, the demand for Canadian lum- .

ber became very urgent. The increased demand and the consequent
advance in prices would have undoubtedly been very satisfactory to
Canadian lumbermen, but unfortunately they were confronted by an
unexpected condition which threatened to neutralize their advantages.
This was an almost unbelievable lack of tonnage, and this remarkable
shortage, like the imperative demand for more bottoms, was due to
the war. In recent years steamers, as deal-carriers, as well as in other
trades, had practically driven sailing ships off the seas, but there
appeared to be no reason to anticipate a scarcity of steamers. Here,
once more, the war became directly responsible for an unexpected
and far-reaching condition. ‘The British Government found it neces-
sary to commandeer a large fleet of merchant steamers for the trans-
portation of war materials, and many others were destroyed by mines
and submarines. The result was that the supply of available steamers
was found to be entirely inadequate to meet the requirements of the
trans-atlantic trade. In this emergency old sailing ships, which for
years past had found little or nothing to do, were refitted and re-
manned and again put in commission on better terms than they ever
had before. A fleet of small three-masted schooners, which had hither-
to been employed in the coasting trade and which were believed by
mdny to be utterly unfit for ocean navigation, now came to the aid
of the “square-riggers” with satisfactory results, and, with the assist-
ance of the few steamers that could be secured, managed in the aggre-
gate to handle exceptionally large shipments.

Meanwhile, growing out of the other conditions, a very important
condition was developing, one which although not unknown at other
times, soon surpassed all former records. The freight on deals to the
United Kingdom, which had risen to fifty shillings per standard at
the close of 1914, jumped to ninety shillings in February of last year.
The rate advanced steadily during the season, and the year ended with
offers of two hundred shillings. In January a charter was closed at
two hundred and twenty shillings, and it was thought that the limit
had been reached, but a month or so later no ship-owner could be
found who would consider anything less than three hundred. A few
weeks ago a charter was closed at three hundred and twenty-five shil-
lings, and it is currently reported that the astounding rate of three
hundred and fifty shillings is being offered. This report may be
slightly premature, but there is little doubt that this figure or even
a higher one will soon be reached, and there dare men interested in
lumber and shipping who are confident that the marvellous advance
in rates will not stop short of the fonr hundred mark. Nothing even
remotely approaching present figures was ever known before.- Old
ship-masters tell of a brief period during the Franco-Prussian war
when the rate rose to one hundred and twenty shillings, but this ex-
traordinary advance was shared by very few ships. Since that time
the rate has been down to thirty shillings or lower more frequently
than it has been up to or above sixty. ;

One might reasonably suppose that the present freight rates on

Allies, so no one would ‘suffer. via

It seems certain that at the termination of histilities there y

trade to keep this in mind. '

of merchant ships. Old vessels which would have been sold

Enlistments Affecting the Labor Market 'o
Another condition which has just arisen and was undouw
created by the war, and which is likely to exert a marked
reaching effect upon the lumber industry, is the extremely large
ber of enlistments among the lumbermen. It is customary in
lumber camps after the logs have been cut and yarded, and w
snow is still deep in the woods, for the men to come out to
homes or to the nearest town and wait for the snow to melt
streams to rise. When a permanent thaw comes and the ice
streams break up, the men, or as many of them as are requir
back to the woods and “drive” the logs to the mills. When

The conditions created or developed by the war have in their

an average cut can be done by the men now in sight. This seems un-
fortunate, but it will not be an unmixed evil; for the most of the trees
left standing will be greatly benefitted by having more time to grow.

Perhaps the toughest problem of all is the one that confronts
the shipbuilders. For some years before the war wooden shipbuilding
had ceased to be regarded as a profitable enterprise. Nearly all the
shipyards were closed, and the only vessels turned off were additions
to the fishing fleet, or an occasional coaster to replace one that had
been lost or in some other way put out of commission. The war
changed all that. It would pay to build ships—even at war prices
for part of the materials—when two or three successful voyages would
clear the cost of construction. <A fleet of fine vessels will be turned
off this season and will probably prove a good investment. The
builders will be in a better position to continue the work than they
were to begin it, and the shipyards will keep busy if the war should
continue through another winter. But will it pay to build after the
war is over? If it should end soon there would still be strong demand
for tonnage, but the present abnormal rates and prices would cease to
exist, and there would be a rapid decline in the value of wooden ves-
sels. To sum up, the war dominates the lumber industry and every-
thing connected with it. It has been the cause of fabulous prices and
freights, it has created a remarkable scarcity of tonnage; it has revived
the wooden shipbuilding industry, and it threatens to restrict the lum-
ber output.

possible in cost, except to the mills which own their own vessels and
their loading, and in some cases discharging, equipment. This is
resulting in increased demands—very strong at the present time, for
rail haul wood from settlers’ lands and patented lands in Northern
Ontario and Northern Quebec, which can be exported to the Ameri-
can mills, and when bottoms can be secured, this applies to New
Brunswick wood as well. -

Export wood, like lumber, must inevitably go higher, due to the
scarcity of labor in Canada from enlistment, and the demand from
war industries which men find more congenial to home life that the
woods employment affords. Added to this is the increased cost of
provisions, such as hogs, live weight at $12 per hundred, and sugar at
$10 per hundred, wholesale, with no possible outlook other than fur-
ther advances in the provision market all round. Added to this is
the increased and ever increasing cost of barking plants, saws, boilers,
chain, rubber, leather belting, etc.; several of which have gone up
from 65 per cent. to over 100 per cent.

Are Railway Rates Too High?
American paper mill men think that railway rates on pulpwood
are too high, yet the earning power of rolling stock and heavy engines
is lower today on pulpwood and especially on paper in Ontario and

‘Quebec than on wheat from western points to the head of the lakes,

principally on account of the fact that return freight to the prairies
is made possible by up-bound cargoes from the lake steamers and
the package freight lines. The present pulpwood rates do not war-
rant the purchase of additional box cars at the prevailing cost in these
war times, and flat cars equipped as rack cars for summer shipments
will assist in the solution.

Niagara and Watertown mills purchasing wood in Temiskaming,
fail to see why the Ontario Government Railway (T. & N. O.) and
Grand Trunk cannot get their rates down lower on pulpwood. Are
they aware that, notwithstanding the immense traffic and tonnage
derived from Cobalt and Porcupine mining camps, this government-
owned railway, in past years, has only been able to earn one-third
of its interest charges, due to low rates, and particularly low rates on
pulpwood and timber products, resulting in the people of the province
of Ontario, through its Government paying two-thirds of its interest
charges and total assumption of the amortization of its bonds. Ber-
lin and New Hampshire mills clamor for rate reduction from Rober-
val on Lake St. John and from La Tuque and Three Rivers, south
without a thought to increased cost of operations at present, for
while the return from production in every industry has risen with
leaps and bounds, the railway rates are still without an advance
except the 5 per cent. conceded by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion.

The final solution does not lie in cheaper Canadian wood or de-

116

creased cost of transportation but in increased paper prices during
the period of the war. Canadian pulpwood operators selling to Ameri-
can mills are not now making any more money than heretofore and
are taking immensely larger risks unwarranted by the profits obtain-
able. Personal friends of mine are operating all the way from the head
of the lakes through to St. John and have made less money and some
of them more debt within the past eighteen months than at any other
period of their pulpwood operation. Many of the operators have had
to close out entirely, and this is bad, for the reason that in any busi-
ness, if the stream of consumable goods is steady, economic life goes
on smoothly; while, if for any reason the stream is interrupted, more
or less serious consequences always ensue. Operators should go fur-
ther in insisting on financial assistance from the buyers, for these
mill owners know that there is no greater help to legitimate business
than well regulated and easy flowing credit.

Nor is the quantity for future supply to these American mills
up to a 19c rate, by any means unlimited. Most convincing indeed
is a map showing the pulp concessions granted in Ontario and Que-
bec, and if to these could be added those that will likely yet be granted
on five good pulp and paper mill sites remaining in the north, the
result would be more convincing still. Mill sites to manufacture the
wood growing north of the National Transcontinental are impossible
except at Lac Suel and none on the Nelson on the Hudson Bay line.
I might also possibly add one on the upper waters of the St. Maurice
above La Tuque. All the other waters are flowing north and. will
not be intercepted by steel within a quarter of a century.

Looking away to the future, because some of our Canadian mills
will yet have to go as far afield for their woodeas the American mills
who are rail hauling 600 miles are doing today, it would be well to
state frankly that there is no commercial timber for a hundred miles
south of the waters of James Bay on the territory known as the James
Bay Basin.

Are Our Spruce Resources Over-estimated?

Many Canadian and American mill men have the idea that be-
cause they are told spruce is growing on the banks of the Albany,
lower Mattagami, Moose, Hurricanaw and Nottaway, Northern On-
tario and Northern Quebec is all timber country. Jf they were to.
get out of a canoe and travel inland for days as I have done, not
only below the last portages going down to James Bay, but away up
on the rivers, sometimes even south of the National Transcontinental,
they would find merchantable timber does not exist back from the
river banks. This is true of an immense area around Lake Mistas-
sini, north and west of Lake St. John, where heavy fires have occur-
red, on across the Hurricanaw and Moose—on past Martin’s Falls
(the only fall in 300 miles of navigation on the Albany) and I under-
stand from Indians on through Patricia to Port Nelson, for all this
lowest bench of land is practically muskeg.

It is all very well for reporters to turn up Departmental records
of northern exploration of 1910 showing 288,000,000 cords of spruce
in the then explored section of Northern Ontario, but is it there, out
on the ground? It certainly is on the better sections of the northern
clay belt such as Temiskaming, Abitibi, and parts of Mattagami, Kap-
uskasing, and Missinabi, but I personally know large sections grossly
over-estimated at forty-five to eighty cords to the acre, that cannot
possibly cut more than four to five cords to the acre, on the average.
Spruce mixed with pine is sometimes quite deceiving, and certain pulp
areas further south, estimated at ten cords to the acre average, are
today actually cutting out less than two cords to the acre.

Returning to the immediate question and summarizing :—Woods
labor will be seriously acute by November lst—wholesalers refuse
even to guess where provision prices will reach—and equipment 1s
proceeding skyward steadily.

Before the termination of the war you will see “News” selling
closer to $40 New York delivery than the $25 now quoted, for, even at
present, many of the mills have no reserve supply of wood and every-
where the stock of “news” is getting very low, notwithstanding the
fact that we are not yet in the low water period affecting the grinders
and output. Our cheaper jack pine and poplar woods should be more
utilized in crafts and wrapping paper and then the logging of all
timber together would cheapen spruce wood costs.

With South America, Asia and the entire Continents of Europe
in urgent need of pulp and the public (with extra money in their
pockets) buying more war extras than they really require, why should
they not pay the cost of increased raw material—pulpwood?

Forestry Battalion in England

A cable from London, England, under date of. May 9th announced
that the first section of the Canadian Forestry Battalion was already
doing useful work in Great Britain, having commenced hewing and
preparing timber for military purposes. The battalion is moving
about to sections where good quantities of timber are available. It
has already had a turn at the Royal Estates at Windsor and the men
have expressed great surprise at the abundance and high quality of
British timber.

The largest manufacturers of billiard tables in the world are
slowly but surely cutting down the quantittes of mahogany and wal-

ally of using nothing else. They are finding that the wood works to
advantage in their line and that the cost is considerably less.

A new field for birch is being opened up in the production of
spokes. Of course, this is a new business at present and is being tried

The writer has seen some very fine specimens of staves manufac-

Tight Belts Give Best Transmission ?
| Theory Giving Way to Modern Knowledge About Slack Belts, Idlers and
-Pulleys— The Slack Belt’s Advantages

By N. G. Near

Many belts are run slack on shafts that are only 5 ft. between
centres, pulleys being 12 to 15 inches in diameter. Where distance
opment shafts is greater it is easier to maintain slackness, and at
great distances, no trick at all.

One of the greatest blessings of the slack belt is the fact that
it seldom has to be “taken up.” Most of the time spent in caring for
tight belts is consumed in cutting out slices every month or so, and
then relacing. This is necessary to maintain the tightness. However,
with slack belts it is usually necessary to take out a slice only when
the pulling and non-pulling sides get so close together that they touch.
I know of drives that have run for over 15 years without being touched
by a knife. Relacing was necessary, of course, but that was about all.
The slack or easy belt is most economical.

Use Idlers Where Necessary

In such a drive as shown in Fig. 3 it will be almost impossible
to run the belt slack on account of the short distance between shaft
centres and the great difference in size of pulleys. I have seen slack
belt drives with short distance between centres, but they are rare.
The method pictured in Fig. 3 is becoming popular, and it is a good
method. An idler is used to hold the belt down and give it as large an
arc of contact with the pulleys as is practicable.

This idler is not and need not be heavy. At least, no additional
weights need be added to the idler to effect the desired contact.
The weight of the idler alone is enough. We therfore have a condi-
tion here that is logically comparable with the slack belt of Fig. 2.
It has the same advantages and the same arguments go with it.

One of the big advantages of these “idler drives” is the saving
of space and the saving of leather in belts. The idler costs something,
of course. It is usually very well machined and has perfectly aligned
bearings. At least, an idler should be accurately and well made all
around for the ultimate efficiency depends much upon this accuracy.
It has been proved in actual tests that a properly made and aligned
idler consumes so little power that it is unnoticeable. An idler, on the

"hee

wwe

118

other hand, with tight bearings and poorly aligned, becomes a verit-
able “coal eater.”

It is plain, then, that an idler drive may cost less than the same
drive with machines set farther apart on account of the difference
in cost of leather. Nowadays, anyway, leather is pretty expensive.

Cotton, canvas, and other woven belts cannot be used in an idler
drive as effectively as leather. Leather is best because of the fact
that it can be made endless. Joints of rawhide or metal are rather
troublesome factors if used with an idler, on account of the bump-
ing, noise and vibration. Rubber belts have been used with success,
however, on such drives.

I do not know why there is so much prejudice against idlers.
Perhaps it is because men “think” that an idler consumes just as
much power as one of the drive pulleys; but that is not so. A driving
or driven pulley consumes power mainly because of the fact that on
the “approach” side the leather is stretched and on the “leaving” side
the leather has contracted, or vice versa. This adjustment in length
occurs on the pulleys and there must certainly be some accompanying
friction. Hence the power loss. On an idler there is no adjustment
of length. The belt is just as tight on the approach side as on the
leaving side. Therefore, there is no belt friction worth mentioning.
The only friction o¢curs in the idler bearing and on account of the
good type of bearing used, the perfect alignment and the very slight
pressure, that friction, also, is practically mil.

It is evident that for vertical drives a frictionless idler becomes a

Investigations which have recently been made by The Contract
Record, into the present cost of various building materials, shows
that among those materials that have not advanced in price since
1912-13 are included lumber and mill work. In fact the prices for

these to-day are said to be considerably lower than during the for-

mer period. Many other building materials are included in the list
of those which show no advance, or even a decrease, the list being:
stone and sand which are somewhat lower in price; brick, which is
fully 25 per cent. lower; cement, 10c. to 15c. a barrel lower; lime, the
same price; lumber and mill work, no change, or a slight advance,
but much lower than during 1912-13; hard wall plaster, no advance;
fireproof materials, no advance; varnishes, about the same price, and
beaver board, no advance. Materials showing an increase in price
include the following: plumbing and heating goods, a considerable
advance, because of the higher prices of metal; fireproof doors,, win-
dows, sash, etc., a considerable advance; papers and felts, large ad-
vances in certain classes, especially dyed material; metallic roofing,
an increase of 10 to 25 per cent.; paints, various increases; glass, an
increase of 50 per cent. to 60 per cent., and stocks very difficult to
obtain; steel, an advance of 15 per cent. to 30 per cent.; electric wir-
ing, an advance of 35 per cent.

The chestnut blight has already done damage estimated as close
to $50,000,000. The disease attacks both American and European
species but does little damage to those from Japan and China. Plant
breeders by crossing Japanese chestnut and native chinquapin have
produced resistant trees.

From the Tree to the Finished Product

On May Ist the Estate James Davidson, Ottawa, Ont.,
commenced operations for the season at their sawmill located
at Davidson, P.Q., on the C.P.R., seventy miles from Ottawa.
This mill now has a capacity of 100,000 feet per day and the
whole output of lumber is used by the Estate James David--
son in their modern woodworking plant at Ottawa. “From
the Tree to the Finished Product” is the slogan used in con-
nection with all the output of the Davidson plant. Being so
situated in regard to securing material for their woodworking
plant, they are in a splendid position to handle all orders with
promptness, no matter how large or small they may be. Their
woodworking plant is modern in every detail and fully equip-
ped for turning out all lines of boxes, box shooks, doors, sash,
blinds, and all interior finish. At the present time the com-
pany are working to capacity on a large shell box order, and

upon an extensive shook order for the British War Office.

Forest Conservation During War

Protection Against Fire Loss and Prevention of Waste
Making Encouraging Progress

By Clyde Leavitt

“Natural resources lie at the foundation of all preparedness; whe-
ther for peace or for war.” These are the words of Gifford Pinchot
the foremost advocate on this continent of the better conservation 0}
natural resources. {

This statement by Mr. Pinchot is no less true fae Canada thai

Considering this latter element, human life, it is obvious
that the capacity of a country to sustain population must depen
primarily upon either agriculture or manufacturing or both, and 1
extent to which these can be developed depends absolutely upon ~

Thus we see clearly that natural resources are the détell

The relationship above outlined for war conditions is equally.

utilization of some natural resource. All agriculture and all mam

Contrary to the popular idea, conservation does not m

future. On the contrary, it simply means the avoidance of

ry waste; in other words, it means wise present use, with a

In this connection, the provincial governments of eastern Can-
ada, and the great majority of limit-holders as well, should take care-
ful note of the admirable results that have been secured by the St.
Maurice and the Lower Ottawa Forest Protective Associations, and
should profit by their example. These two associations have been able
to secure the best degree of protection against fire that is to be found
over any large area anywhere in eastern Canada. These results have
been secured by the adoption of a thoroughly business-like administra-
tion, of which close supervision at all points is considered an abso-
lutely essential feature.

Competent Fire Rangers Required

Beyond any doubt, also, the matter of securing a thoroughly
competent personnel in the fire-ranging staff is of the utmost import-
ance. It is hardly conceivable that anyone should seriously question
this. Yet, in no single government fire-ranging service in all of Can-
ada, so far as is known, are the appointments of fire-rangers clearly
and definitely based upon the one ideal of merit and fitness for the
position. In every single one, Dominion as well as provincial, the
patronage system holds the reins, and party advantage is, as a rule,
the primary consideration, with merit and fitness of the applicant
secondary. Undoubtedly, many thoroughly competent men are ap-
pointed under the patronage system, but the exceptions are too num-
erous, and the tendency of such a system of appointment is far from
conducive to proper ideals of discipline and organization, and the de-
velopment of a wholly efficient service. In this respect also, the St.
Maurice and Lower Ottawa Associations are able to set a good ex-
ample to the several governmental agencies. These associations, be-
ing composed of limit-holders, are able to select their’ fire-ranging
staffs upon the sole basis of merit, and actually do so. On any other
basis, the really remarkable results secured would have been im-
possible to the same degree and at the same cost.

The general tendency of the patronage system was admirably ex-
pressed by Sir George Foster in connection with the, recent debate
upon the estimates of the Public Works Department. His remarks
are, however, equally applicable to the several fire-protective services
throughout the Dominion. In the discussion referred to, Sir George
made the statement that in the whole course of his thirty-four years
of public life, he could not point to a single instance where political
patronage ever helped the status of the bench, ever helped the status
of the Civil Service, ever helped in the economy of their administra-
tion the status of public administrators, no matter what function they
performed, ever helped a member of parliament in reality, or ever
helped a government in reality.

In view of this strong statement and of the very general chorus
of approval with which it met, it would seem that material progress
has been made toward hastening the day when appointments to at
least certain of the public services will be based upon merit rather
than upon patronage. Certainly, such action would constitute one
of the most effective means of reducing the tremendous forest fire
loss sustained each year by this country. This action will not, how-
ever, be generally taken unless and until those directly and in-
directly interested in securing better forest protection make their in-

» fluence felt in a concrete way, in favor of this proposition, Not only

are all lumbermen included in this category, both individually and
collectively, but every citizen of every province as well.

Any action that will tend toward better forest conservation will
be a step toward better preparedness, for peace as well as for war.

Important Dunbar Improvements

The Dunbar Engine & Foundry Co., Woodstock, N.B., have made
several marked improvements to their widely known Dunbar Shingle
Machine this season. This includes an improved jointed table, so ar-
vanged on the machine that it is always perfectly rigid and can be auto-
matically swung to one side for the removal of the jointer saw. _ Seli-
oiling boxes have been put on all the boxes of the machines. Fraser
Limited of Fredericton, N.B., have installed eighteen of these shingle
machines in their different mills. The Dunbar people are now work-
ing on a new steam compound Logging Engine, of about 10 tons, of a
width to go in the ordinary horse road and use horse sleds, suitable for
Mastern Canada logging operations. This is being erected under the
special supervision of Mr. A. Dunbar, the senior member of the firm.
Vossibly no machinery man is better known than Mr. Dunbar to the
Canadian trade from his long connection in the manufacture of logging
equipment. The company are also building this year two sizes of
gang edgers for portable mill work. No. 1 will be of about 20,000 ft.
capacity, and No. 2, of 40,000 ft. Mr. H. A. Dunbar is manager of this
prominent eastern firm.

The waste product of sawmills in the United States including that

fed to the furnace as fuel is estimated to be 36,000,000 cords per year,

and the equivalent of 2,880,000,000 cubic feet of solid wood substance.

A number of years ago a large
lumber company purchased: a
number of timber limits on the
report of a cruiser who ran over
the territory in ten days. ‘The
writer’s men met this cruiser and
were in the same neighborhood
with him for a great part of the
time he was in the woods and had
an opportunity to observe his
methods. These were very simple,
as all he did was to paddle up
the main streams and if he saw timber he would guess at its amount
and make no effort to see how far back from the stream it extended.
The following year the writer was commissioned to make a closer
examination of one hundred square miles of this purchase and found
that, by actual survey, ninety-seven per cent. of it was burnt clean.
The president of this company was much surprised at such a report
and was only convinced of its accuracy by an elaborate set of photo-
graphs. oe
This is only one of several instances which have come under the
notice of the writer, and can only be explained, in most cases, by the
fact that the price of timberlands in Canada has been such that money
could always be made and that the cruisers have invariably been low
in their estimates. Nevertheless, it is strange that such shrewd, hard-
headed men as the lumbermen and paper-mill men, who would not
think of buying a piece of machinery costing a few hundred dollars
without a careful examination, will expend hundreds of thousands of
dollars on the estimating of an ignorant cruiser or foreman who often
cannot find his way in the woods and cannot tell one species of tree
from another.

Elwood Wilson

A Stock-taking Proposition

No sensible man would buy logs or lumber without having them
counted, why should he buy trees without knowing how many he
was purchasing? Every good business man takes account of his
stocks of raw material; he takes stock every six months or oftener.
A cotton manufacturer would not guess at the amount of cotton on
hand, or take it for granted that he had enough without carefully
measuring it. He would not be satisfied to know that there were
some stocks in the next town or perhaps some within a radius of
one hundred miles of his mill. He would know exactly to a pound
how much there was and where it was located. Why should not the
lumberman or pulp man with a large amount of capital invested in
raw material take equal pains to ascertain its amount and its loca-
tion? There are two principal reasons. The first is that timber has
always been so cheap and so plentiful that it was almost certain that
the supply would be adequate for the wood using industries for a
time at least. The second reason is that anything that has had to do
with the woods has been left to untrained and relatively uneducated
men. It has been supposed that only men who have been born and
brought up near the woods, really knew anything about them, and
that these men had some occult sense denied to the dwellers in the
cities, by which they could find their way in the forest and tell how
much timber there was per acre by simply looking at it.

Now that fire and the axe have destroyed so much of our avail-
able timber supplies, and the multiplication of wood using industries
calls for larger and larger quantities of wood each year, it is abso-
lutely necessary to take account of what we have left, and as com-
petition becomes keener only those businesses can succeed which are
run with accurate knowledge of all the factors and not by guess work.
The successful’ manufacturer to-day does not guess what his costs
are, he KNOWS, and the lumberman or pulp man can no longer
guess how much wood he has for the future, he must know. And,
just as the up-to-date manufacturer hires trained accountants, chem-
ists, salesmen, so the limbermen are coming to employ trained for-
esters and logging engineers. If you are the owner of timberlands
you need to know the following facts:

Where are your limits located?

Are your boundary lines located correctly?

How much of the area is water,,swamp, burn, windfall or cut-
over?

How much merchantable timber is there?

Essential Information for a Woods Manager

Just as a general cannot hope to plan and carry on a cam
successfully without accurate maps and information about the ca
in which he is fighting, so a woods manager cannot hope to cz
intelligently and successfully his logging operations without acc
maps and information about his woodlands. With these he can f
his operations in advance, can check up his annual cut, can tell wh:
to place his jobbers and have right under his hand all the informati
necessary for carrying on his work. He is not dependent on |
woods foremen, and does not have to keep on an unsatisfactory
because he is afraid of losing the information stored in that
brain. He can keep his records up to date, know just what le
have been cut over and what amounts of timber he can expect f
them in future and what he has on hand. He knows just where
boundary lines are and thus avoids the danger of trespassing
neighbors.

Early in 1905 the Laurentide Company under a new and
gressive manager, realized how scanty was the information on
about its limits and started out to get posted. There was onl
map of its holdings and that was very inaccurate. No maps
were either complete or accurate could be obtained from the (
ernment, which even to this day has nothing which can be called
map of its limits under license. There was no record of bot
lines, nor of the amount of timber, not even of the areas which ft
been burnt over, and during the first month of work trespas
other companies to the amount of several thousand dollars were
covered and also trespasses of other holders on the company. —

In planning this work there were two courses open, either to”
on a large number of parties and finish the work up quickly, or to
fewer men and spread the work out over a number of years, begin
with the territory being logged and that likely to be cut over soon a
gradually extending the work to the whole area owned. The latter
method was chosen and has justified itself as the crews at work
ally gained in experience and knowledge of the country and of wor
ing conditions so that the cost of the work was reduced. =

sleds being used in winter and canoes in summer.

Provisions were teamed into the woods as far as possib

ing the rest of the cooking for themselves. Good outfits and

of June, which was used for vacations on account of

, owing to the inability to travel on lakes and rivers while
e was forming and melting.

oundaries of limits were run first, then circuits were run of
thirty miles around, checking on the starting points, and
larger streams, lakes and the portages, and then all the
ide these circuits filled in. Boundaries of cut-over lands,
amps, lakes, green timber and windfalls were run so that the
nese could be accurately known. After the field maps were

Logging Waste Checked Up and Reduced

For several winters and in different sections all over our limits,
a crew of two men followed the choppers, and as each tree was felled
they measured the height of the stump, the diameter at the stump
and at each thirteen and a half foot cut, both inside and outside the
bark and the length of the top left, and from these measurements the
total merchantable content of each tree was calculated and the results
averaged. A set of tables was prepared for white and black spruce,
balsam and white pine, showing the total board feet and the total
cubic feet and cords in trees of different diameters and heights so
that when a certain number of trees were found on an area, by using
this table, the total amount of wood which could be cut was easily cal-
culated. In this study the enormous waste caused by cutting high
stumps and by leaving large tops in the woods was clearly shown,
and the necessity for a careful inspection of cutting operations was
demonstrated. ‘The first year that such an inspection service was
introduced there was a probable saving of over fifteen thousand dol-
lars worth of timber.

The age of trees was also studied and the rate of growth deter-
mined for different species and different conditions. Areas which had
been cut over were carefully xamined to find out how much timber
was left and what its probable rate of growth would be, so that the
amount of timber which could be cut at different future dates could
be calculated and also its probable financial value. The results of
these studies might well make the owners of timber lands take a
little thought for the future, as it was definitely proved that under pre-
sent methods of cutting to a diameter limit as imposed by the Que-
bec Government, all of the best and fastest growing timber is cut
and the undersized timber which is left is generally supressed and
weak or diseased, so that when the larger and stronger trees are
removed, those left blow down, or are so shaded by the large hard-
woods left that they make very little growth and the hardwoods
quickly seed in the openings in the stand and make a forest which is
largely without the soft woods which are at present much more valu-
able. It was found that on large areas of cut over lands the prob-
able amount of timber which would be available after thirty years,
spruce and balsam, would hardly pay to go after, if located on any
but the most accessible areas. Cutting for softwoods as at present
practiced is really a system which helps the hardwoods to increase
and multiply, and those coniferous trees which are left must struggle
against the most adverse conditions.

Logging Inspection Service Instituted

As a result of the work mentioned above, the logging department
of this company instituted a thorough inspection service of its cutting

operations. Burnt timber which had never before been used was cut
and utilized. The percentage of balsam used in the mill was largely
increased. Trees which had previously been left in the woods on

account of a small piece of heart rot were cut and brought to the
mill and the rot split out, the good part used and the bad part burnt
under the boilers. Where tops of less than six inches diameter had
been left in the woods they were taken down to four inches and many
other economies were introduced. All these improvements were so
evident when the facts became known that it shows how necessary it
is wa have an accurate basis of knowledge in carrying on any sort of
work.

The average cost of the field work for the surveys given above
was $10.98 per square mile or not quite two cents per acre, and of
this cost 77 per cent. was labor. The average cost of provisions, in-
cluding freight and portaging, was thirty cents per day per man. The
estimating of the timber cost six dollars per square mile, or .0093 cents
per acre. This latter was the cost of calipering all trees six inches and
up in diameter breast high over three per cent. of the area in mer-
chantable timber.

All the drives on the Upper St. John River were reported safe on
May 7th. Driving conditions have been ideal this spring with plenty
of water in-the brooks.

The Adams River Lumber Company, Chase, B. C., have launched
a new steamer, a stern wheeler, which will be used for towing and for

carrying freight and passengers between the company’s camps and

the mill headquarters.

On May 10th a boom of logs on Lake Deschenes, ten miles west
of Ottawa on the Ottawa River, containing 175,000 logs, broke loose
during a severe gale and were driven down the river towards the
Chaudiere dam. News of the break was telephoned to Ottawa and
the sluices were opened, allowing the logs to go through and avert-
ing a jam. The sight was an interesting spectacle to many onlookers
as they watched the great quantities of timber crashing over the
Chaudiere Falls and shooting down the river. A boom was stretched
across the river several miles below the Falls and the logs were cap-
tured. ; ye,

The Growth of Spruce in New Brunswic

Information Secured by Forest Students Showing Rates of Growth of Spruce and

in diameter, height and volume, is one of the vital questions

connected with the survey of the Crown Lands in New

Brunswick, and one which must be handled separately from
the work of cruising or estimating. Not only are the estimates based
upon volume tables made in connection with such a study, but all pre-
dictions of future growth require some such scientific basis. The meth-
od heretofore has been simply to bring in a cross section of a tree on
the stump, counting the rings, and assume that this one tree is a model
or sample of the whole forest. At the present time there are two
such sections in the Crown Land office at Fredericton, one of a spruce
probably two feet in diameter and not over 100 years old, and the other
ten inches in diameter and possibly 200 years old. What makes the
difference? The first is a white spruce selected under ideal conditions
of growth, while the second is a black spruce from a very dense stand
in the Miramichi region, from which there are requests to cut under-
sized material for pulpwood. It is apparent to anyone that neither of
these trees can be taken as a criterion of growth on the Miramichi—
just as well say that two men picked out of a crowd are ideal or repre-
sentative men.

_ The object of this article is to present a preliminary study which
was made from the stem analysis of 165 spruce trees, the majority
being from the Tobique region and a few being taken from second
growth stands on the college forest near Fredericton, the latter mea-
surements being collected from time to time, as made by forestry
students. The data are not held to be either exhaustive or conclusive,
because such a study would involve the stem analysis of a thousand
or more trees carefully selected from the various quarters of the pro-
vince. Neither is it advocated that stem analysis is the best method
of securing such figures. In many cases it is impossible, because of
the expense, and the cutting of logs is done at the coldest season of
the year, when the taking of the notes is well nigh impossible. Be-
sides, the office work involved in working up the final figures requires
much time—time which can be secured from students in the prosecu-
tion of certain studies, but not from an office crew to whom you pay
wages. In this connection it may be mentioned that Mr. T. W.
Dwight, of the Dominion Forestry Branch, has originated a method
of taking stem analysis, which cuts down very greatly the field mea-
surements and decreases the office work at least one-half. The ac-
curacy of the method as compared with the old method of stem an-
alysis has not been tried out for typical cases, but it seems possible to
secure by means of it all necessary data and in a very much shorter
time.

Method of Securing Measurements

The data for the trees from the Tobique region were taken by
a forestry student under the direction of R. R. Bradley, of the New
Brunswick Land Company. Owing to the cold weather when follow-
ing the choppers, the results were not entered directly on the stem
analysis sheets, but long strips of wrapping paper and a fountain
pen were used. Starting on the stump, the student took its height
in feet and its diameter inside the bark and the thickness of the bark.
He counted the rings in ten year periods from the outside and holding
the strip of paper along the average radius, made a mark with the pen
at every tenth ring. These actual distances could be scaled with a
ruler later and the results entered on regular stem analysis sheets.
Going to the top of the first log he did the same, measuring its length
in feet, also the length of the top which was left. He also took the
diameter of the tree at a point four and one-half feet above the ground
(breast high or D.B.H.), and noted any waste in high stumps or in
the top which was left. In this operation it happened that all logs
were cut to a uniform length of sixteen feet or 16.5 feet, which made
his work, as well as the office work, very much easier. Of course, the
decade measurements for each section had to be kept separate on
his strip of paper, the stump being designated “stump,” and the other
sections or logs as one, two, three, etc., so that it was an easy matter
to take the strips of paper and transfer the results to the regular
blanks. One deficiency was found in the figures, namely, that the
D.B.H. of each tree was not taken in tenths of inches, a very neces-
sary point, since otherwise it is not easy to establish the relationship
between the diameter inside the bark on the stump (D.I.B.) and the
D.B.H. outside the bark. This relationship had to be secured in an-
other way and it will be noted on our final curves that there is no

May is, io16

regular D.B.H. curve, the results in the D.B.H. column being secure

from taper measurement on a large number of trees.

, How Stem Analysis is Conducted

As to the work of stem analysis on the college lands—a crew «
three men is best—a pole man, a ring counter and a tallyman to r
the figures called out by the other two men. If trees are not alr
felled and cut into log lengths, two additional men would be requi:
for this work. The trees after being felled are cut up into eight foot
or sixteen foot lengths, depending on whether they are to be used for
cordwood or logs. The other men begin immediately on the stum
counting and measuring rings. Where plenty of student labor was
at hand, others were assigned to limbing up the tree and piling the
brush so as.to make a clean operation. The poleman calipers the
tree at breast high and measures off the log lengths, also calling out
length of tip and other necessary measurements. The ring counter
finds the average radius at the top of each log and the stump, and
counting the rings from the outside in decades, holds his ruler along
a pencil line and calls out to the tally man the distance from the
centre to every tenth ring, also recording the odd rings in the centre,
and the distance to them. In Mr. Dwight’s method, rings are both
counted out and measured out from the centre, odd rings being dis
regarded, since their measurement is usually in tenths anyway, and
the plotting in the office of straight ten year periods is very much
quicker. Before finishing the analysis, ‘notes are made as to the
tree class, that is, whether the tree is a “leader” or is a crowded one
in the stand, merchantable length of the tree, length of crown, ete.,
and the crew moves on to another. Sheets for black spruce and white
spruce should be kept separate or separated in the office.

This process requires some time, but the data secured are very
valuable since they form the basis for volume tables and for com-
putation or growth in diameter, height and volume. The front of
the sheet contains the age of each section, its length, length of. tip,
etc., so that the contents of the tree in both cubic feet and board f
can be easily computed, as well as the stem form factor, and the
growth per cent., providing the number of rings at breast height for
the last ten years are measured and counted. On the back of the
sheet we have the complete life history of the tree in ten-year periods,
from stump to end of last section. As is well known, a tree lays on
a certain shell or volume each year on top of that previously there,
so that for a tree 100 years old (ten decades) we have ten interior
volumes and the measurement to every decade mark represented by
the radius measurement, which can be doubled for diameter. Our
final curves then, while they are supposed to be for only 165 trees,
are in reality for a very much greater number, because there are all
the little trees inside of the others, or at least their volume, which is
what the forester is interested in. So that, if every tree were 100 ye
or at the end of every section. This is shown by our final curves

some worse, but they should show the performance of the average

growth of spruce in Quebec, by a different method, they show almost
similar results, that is, in diameter about an inch or over in ten
years, or to be exact a diameter on the stump of 11.3 inches in 100
years, a little better than an inch in ten years.

The Palmer-McLellan Shoe Pack Company, Limited

The Palmer-McLellan Shoepack Company, Limited, Frederic-
ton, N. B., are one of the several large eastern firms catering to the
lumbermen’s needs in footwear. The company was founded in 1912

by the late John Palmer, whose long connection with the shoepack

manufacturing business made him known from coast to coast. Mr.
Palmer was the first man to make shoepacks in Fredericton, N. B.,
and was the originator and founder of the first Oil-tanned Leather
and Shoepack Company. Associated with Mr. Palmer in the found-
ing of this company was Mr. W. A. McLellan, financial and manu-
facturing manager. The present officers of the company are Messrs.
W. A. McLellan, J. E.. Palmer and:J. H. Richards... Mr. Palmer is
the son of the late Mr. John Palmer, and Mr. Richards has been con-
nected with the lumber industry in New Brunswick for many years.
The factory shown in our illustration is a modern one in every respect
and has a capacity of 600 pairs a day. A modern tannery is operated
in connection with the factory and over one hundred employees are
employed. In addition to the full lines of waterproof shoepacks
and sporting boots, the company manufacture a line of workmen’s
boots, specially suitable for the lumber trade. All goods are put out
under the “Palm-Tree” design, with the “Palmer” name as the trade-
Mark, which has now become favorably known throughout Canada.

Douglas Fir is Useful Wood

In the “Illustrated London
News” recently, there appeared a
picture of the H. M. S. Simula-

tion, a battleship constructed of’

wood, which, after serving vari-
ous purposes known only to, those
in charge of naval operations, is
shown stranded at Mudros, Isle
of Lemnos, formerly the base for
naval and military operations in
connection with the Dardanelles.
It appears that the dummy bat-
tleship was constructed.at Belfast,
the material used being Douglas
fir, mainly from British Columbia.

Making artificial silk from saw-
dust and other lumber waste is
the latest experiment of the
United States Forest Products
Laboratory at Madison, Wis. The
use of artificial silk made directly
from wood is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Originally its prin-
cipal use was in the manufacture
of braids and trimmings, but re-
cently the*manufacture of hose
from artificial silk has become an
industry of vast importance. Other
uses for artificial silk are woven
goods of all kinds, linings, tapes-
tries, etc., neckties, ribbons,
sweater coats, etc. About five and
one-half million pounds of artifi-
cial silk are used annually in the
United States. There are several
methods of manufacture, but that
from wood pulp is usually made
by treating the wood pulp with
caustic lye, after which it is dis-
solved in carbon disulphide. This
is then diluted with more caustic
lye to form a viscose which is al-
lowed to age for some time. It
is then forced through dies to
form threads which are hardened
by: a treatment with sulphuric
acid, ammonium sulphate, and
sodium borate, or formic acid.
After washing and drying, the
silk is ready for use. The lab-
oratory is investigating the arti-
ficial silk problem as a possibility
for utilizing wood waste and has
on hand a variety of articles made
from this material .

The establishment of a $4,000,-

Ontario

The country trade in Ontario has been rather quiet during the
past fortnight on account of unsatisfactory weather conditions. Now
that improved weather is in sight, conditions are a little better.
People who have been anticipating building operations are now find-
ing a little more time to attend to them. Up till now the farming
trade has been held back by the lateness of the seeding season, which
is about three weeks behind time. The farmers have been so busy wit
their work that they have not been able to think of anything in the
way of building. A few of .the farmers have recently been making
their appearance on the market and it is expected from now on that
their demand will be more active. Some of the small towns are com-
paratively quiet, others are fairly busy. Conditions this year cannot
be compared with previous years ‘at all, on account of the lateness of
the season. On the whole, wholesalers who have been about the
country during the past fortnight report that trade is better than it
was two or three weeks ago. -

In the larger manufacturing towns conditions are not showing
any important “change. Building permits are very low and there is
uot much prospect of a great volume of business in the near future.
At Hamilton, the trade is busier than at most points, but even there
the trade is spotty, being active one week and quiet the next. Brant-
ford trade is improving a little, while at London there is not much
te report. In nearly all the larger centres the trade is chiefly made up
of orders for sorting up stocks wherever they have been depleted.

The hemlock trade is quieter, its activity during March and April
having declined in May. Prices are unchanged. Shingles are strong,

favor XXX and XXXXX and manufacturers are apparently stopping
the production of XXXX.

Eastern Canada
The lumber trade at Montreal is quiet so far as the soft wood sec-
tion is concerned, but there is an active demand for hard woods, grow-

ing out of the revived activity in the piano and furniture industries. —

In the general local trade the quietness is the result of lack of build-
ing operations. The United States trade continues on-a fair scale.
Since the opening of navigation a small amount of lumber has been
shipped to the United Kingdom and freight rates have again-risen,
375s. being quoted by the steamship companies and very little space
being available at that figure. Exporters are predicting 500s. unless
the Government comes to their assistance.

There is very little change to report in connection with the export
trade at St. John, N.B. There are plenty of enquiries from Great Bri-
tain, but the problem of making deliveries is still as difficult as ever
io solve, as freight rates continue very firm’at 360s.,,and practically
no vessels are offering except those furnished by the Admiralty. All
the mills are now sawing, largely on English deals, with one or two
mills operating for the American market. Local conditions at St.
John show a little improvement. The American market is still’ quite
fiim. Lath are firm and unchanged. Shingles are rather quiet.

The market for spruce at Boston continues very firm and the
demand is increasing. The quotation on frames by rail to Boston is
firm at $28. For 9-in. frames $29 is required, and for 10-in. $20, while
11-in. and 12-in. are placed at $31. Random is in active demand and
price advances are expected. At present, the range in quotations is
as follows :—2 x 3, $21.50 to. $22; 2 x 4,.$22:50 to $2532 x5 anion
$21.50 to.$22 32.x.8,-$25 to:$265 2.x 10;/ $26.50 fie B27 2 2 ere
to $28. :

The demand for spruce boards is improving with the betterment
in the weather, and sales are now quite extensive. Dry covering
boards, planed on one side, 5 ins. and up wide, 8 ft. and up long, are
bringing $22, At New York, the demand for spruce is steady and
prices are firm. Boards are bringing the highest prices in their
history.

The demand for hardwood at Boston continues good and prices
are firm. Several advances in quotations have lately been reported.
The demand is fairly well distributed, with maple, birch and plain
oak getting a little the best of it. The hemlock situation at Boston
is improving steadily. Eastern clipped boards, 10, 12, 14 and 16 ft.,
are firm at $23. ;

The shingle market is improving at Boston. Some manufac-
turers are holding out for $3.60 as their lowest figure for white cedar
extras. For clears the usual price now is $3.20 and for second clears
$2.40. Red cedar shingles are also very firm, as much as $4 having
been quoted for the best brands of extras. The demand for lath is
improving steadily. :

tions in the cities and larger towns continue to show inere
the country districts, however, the building operations haye
so much increase as might have been expected, as weather
have not been favorable. Ordinary grades of lumber for bu
poses have been affected by this situation. Manufactur
now looking for any large demand from the rural dis
summer has advanced considerably. In the manufact
building operations are: quite active.

The southern pine industry has been affected ra
late by the operations of parties sending out lists of
taining stocks at low prices. It is expected that a stro

orders on file for southern pine and the outlook for a gi

On the Pacific Coast, trade conditions are fairly s

Market Correspondence

St. John Trade Report —U. S. Market Strong

St. John, N. B., May 6; (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—
Very little change has taken place in the foreign markets during the
past two weeks. From the British market come plenty of chances to
sell good parcels of deals, but how or when deliveries can be made
remains to be seen. Tonnage seems to be even more scarce than a
month ago. Rates for British ports remain firm at 360 shillings, with
practically no boats available, excepting those supplied by the Ad-
miralty, who, in fact, are the only heavy purchasers -at the present
time. The orders being shipped out of St. John to the Allies contain
a very large percentage of scantlings 3 x 4, 5 and 6 in., for trenching,
and spruce boards for huts, etc. Prices for these sizes remain firm
around about $16 for scantling and boards. All the mills are now
sawing, largely on English deals, with the exception of Messrs. Stet-
son, Cutler & Company, and the Miller Estate, who are sawing for
the American market. Locally, conditions show some improvement,
but not very marked. Very few houses are being erected, and seem-
ingly there is no improvement ahead for the near future in this direc-
tion. Some factories are quite busy on some large orders for the
McAvity plant and for the Sugar Refinery additions. These two large
operations are being carried on by Messrs. Grant & Horne, contrac-
tors, and are the only two large works being erected. It is to be hoped
that many such plants will be erected durimg the coming year, as they
will be a stimulus to trade both in erection and operation.

The American market remains in a good firm position, and it is
to be hoped it may continue so for the coming year. Prices are
unchanged from our last quotation.

Laths still hold a very firm position, and at present show little
change for any decrease in price.

Shingles are still dull and are at least one dark spot on the market.

The drives at the head of the St. John River are progressing very
favorably, but will need some rain before long, as we have been with-
out any rain for a month, and the river is now at a standstill. Bank
logs are coming along freely and their prices are unchanged during the
last two weeks.

Hardwood Moving Well at Montreal

Montreal, May 12th (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—Ex-
cept for the hardwood section, trade is quiet. For hardwoods there is
an active demand, due to the revival in the piano and furniture in-
dustries. For a long time the hardwood business was very dull, but
it has now taken a decided turn, accompanied by a better market for
veneers.

The slackness in the general local trade is owing, of course, to the
comparative inactivity in building. The permits show how this has
declined. During April the total was $435,805, a decrease of $538,086,
while for the four months values were $919,225, a falling off of
$946,602.

Orders from the United States are on a fair scale, but have slack-
ened a little in consequence of an embargo on the Williams Line.
There is a congestion of cars at Albany, and the railway companies
decline to receive further lumber at that point. Application is to be
made to levy an additional 2c. per 100 lbs. on lumber going by this
route, when the embargo is lifted. : ‘

With the opening of navigation, a small amount of lumber has
been shipped to the United Kingdom. As was expected, rates have
again risen, 375s. being quoted by the steamship companies, and even
at that there is little space available. It is predicted by some exporters
that unless the Government comes to the rescue, 500s. will be asked

_ before the season is over. Another tramp has been chartered to load

from this port, and advices from Quebec state that a tramp has loaded

there. A very large quantity could be shipped from Canada were
boats available, but at present there seems to be no hope of an improve-
ment in the situation.

Sulphite continues to be a strong market, and is likely to con-
tinue so for some time. The mills are working at full pressure, and

Box making is slow. One firm is very busy on an old o

are completed. ae

French Government Loading Steamers at Parrsboro —

_ Parrsboro,, May 6th; (Special to the Canada Lumberman):—/
fine three-masted schooner of 424 tons register was launched at Pe
Greville, N. S., a week ago today. This is the first of a fleet of e
schooners, ranging from four hundred tons upward, which will be b

along the Parrsboro shore this season. The new vessel has all the
latest improvements in outfit, and is said to be one of the best
sels ever built in this vicinity. She will take a cargo of piling to
York and on her return will load deals for the United Kingdom.

The scarcity of trans-Atlantic tonnage continues and appears
be getting more pronounced. Only one deal vessel—a schooner—ha
sailed from this port up to the present. Usually at least two or t
steamers are loaded and away before this date. Now none is loadin
and there is no immediate prospect of any arriving. Several schoo
are expected shortly, but something larger is urgently needed.
Parrsboro shipper has sold two large cargoes to the French Gov
ment for immediate delivery on the condition that the governm
shall provide the carriers. It is expected that the two French steam
will arrive this month. Their coming will help to relieve the tens
and may lead to a solution of the tonnage problem. _ ea

Five American schooners have loaded lumber here this spring
for United States ports. Two of the vessels were built more than
fifty years ago, and the youngest or newest was over thirty years
This is a practical illustration of the scarcity of bottoms, and may
regarded as a proof that other freights are more profitable than lum
freights. Apparently only vessels unfit for other trades can be go
carry lumber, although there has been a big advance in lum
freights. Of course, the coatsing rates are low in comparison with
trans-atlantic prices, and they are also low when compared with
freight from the West Indies and South America. =

The breaking of a boom at Portapique recently set adrift lumber
valued at $10,000, belonging to a Parrsboro operator. A considerable
portion of the lumber was recovered.

North Shore Conditions Favorable

‘Thessalon, Ont., May Ist; (Special to the Canada Lumberma
The past winter was a favorable one for woods operations on
North Shore. There was abundance of snow and frost. The ice
the lakes was excellent and the lumbermen got their logs atar
sonable cost. The weather for driving could not be improved u
Water in the rivers and lakes is very high and the drives are
gressing splendidly. All the drives and running streams will be
very early. The ice in the inland lakes had not gone out a day o
two ago; consequently these drives had not got under way as ye
but any quantity of water behind them will come along rapidly as
soon as the ice clears away. The water on the Mississaga and Spanish
rivers is very high, so much so that there has been danger of the
booms at the mouth giving way. The lumbermen have taken t
precaution to have storm booms stretched outside in case anythi
of this sort should happen. x

The mills are all running at full capacity. There appears to be
an abundance of men for both the mills and the drives—Algoma.

Jones Underfeed Stoker Installations
The Jones Underfeed Stoker Company, Limited, of Toronto, are
installing three new stokers for the burning of combination fuel
paper mill refuse and coal—for the sulphite mill at the E. B. Eddy

A Monster Melting Pot

The melting pot represented in the accompanying illustration
has a capacity of 35 tons and is claimed to be the largest in the Do-
minion of Canada. The great mass of molten metal contained in
this pot when it is in operation is a sight worth seeing. The Canada
Metal Company of Toronto make use of this pot to mix their raw
material in the production of shrapnel bullets and babbitt metals.
The process, from the ingot metal to the finished products, illus-
trates forcibly the value of taking every precaution to secure metals
containing the necessary percentage of each metal to give efficiency.
The old fashioned way of taking tin, antimony, etc., melting and
pouring into moulds and calling it babbitt metal may have passed
muster many years ago, but is not suitable for present-day require-
ments.

The Canada Metal Company have the most modern appliances
for making and testing their babbitt metals before they are approved
as satisfactory for the special purpose for which they are intended.
They have a well-equipped laboratory on the premises, which is pre-
sided over by a metallurgist who tests everything thoroughly before
it goes to the large melting pot. After the first melting process
everything is again tested in the laboratory, by the chemist, in order
to make absolutely sure that the alloy is perfect. When the babbitt
metals are ready for use and before they are passed as “O.K.” they
are put through a severe test on a friction testing machine. Unless
this test gives satisfactory results in every detail the metal is rejected.

For shrapnel bullets the alloy must be absolutely perfect and it
is only by melting’a large quantity at a time that a perfect and uniform
quality can be guaranteed.

Cole Tilting Steam Traps

One of the accompanying illustrations represents a battery of
“Cole” Tilting Steam Traps receiving condensation from dry kilns
and heating systems. These traps are automatically equalizing the
different pressures and returning the condensation to a return trap
above the boiler, whence it is returned into the boiler much hotter
than it could be accommodated by a pump.

In most woodworking plants fuel is not an article of much ex-
pense, but it costs money to handle wood fuel, and there is therefore

A Battery of Cole Tilting Traps

good reason for avoiding handling two or three times the amount
required. The principal saving in woodworking plants which is
claimed by the use of the Cole Tilting Steam Traps, is in removing
air from the coils with the water, which, it is claimed, cannot be done
without a tilting steam trap or vacuum pump. A vacuum pump is
of use, it is held, only when carrying very low pressure. In wood-
working plants the chief essential is heat, and the only way to make
more heat is to carry higher pressure. This can be accomplished
by the use of a Cole trap, which at the same time removes all air and
water and holds the steam in the coils, increasing the heating capa-

city and creating perfect circulation, also permitting the spray pipe
in the kiln to be opened without breaking the vacuum.

The makers of the “Cole” steam trap claim that it removes the
air better than float or expansion traps, because, when the trap is
discharging into the boiler the system stops circulating. As soon as
this is accomplished the steam, air and water separate. The water,
which is heaviest, falls to the bottom; the air, which is heavier than
steam, settles on top of the water. As soon as the trap returns to
its filling position again the water rushes into the empty chamber,
The air follows the water and escapes through an automatic air relief
valve on the trip. Steam reaches the outside of the heating coil
and does its work. On the other hand, if the steam is allowed to ge

It is a well-known fact that results cannot be obtained with air in the

N. B. This company was established in 1877 and is under the able ~
management of Mr. Chas. K. Palmer, president and general man- ~
ager, who has been connected with the company for over 25 years.
Associated with Mr. Palmer is Mr. Wm. M. Todd, secretary-treasurer, —
who has been with the concern ever since he was a boy. In 1912 a
new and thoroughly modern factory and tannery were erected, which J
consists of three floors, 226 ft. by 50 ft. Every part of this building
is now occupied by the 135 employees of the firm. In the tannery, ~
over 200 sides of waterproof, oil-tanned leather are ttirned out daily, —
and are made from heavy packers’ steer hides, under the company’s —
own particular process, the product when completed being known as ~
“Skowhegan” leather. From this leather the “Moose Head Brand” ~
moccasins and larrigans are produced, all being hand sewn and made
on new roomy lasts, so as to allow the foot to be fitted with ease.
Everything in oil-tanned waterproof summer and winter footwear
is manufactured by this company and its lines are to be found not
only throughout North America, but in many other lands as well.

vice. The warehouse, from top to bottom, is arranged with one
end in view, and that is the handling of orders with despatch
and thoroughness. A big:array of lavor-saving devices are in
evidence. There is a large freight elevator with a capacity of two
tons, a smaller one for light goods and passengers, while another
labor saver is the lowerator, running from the top floor, which
works automatically, carrying goods down to the shipping de-
partment on the first floor by gravitation. Here orders are as-
sembled and loaded on the waiting drays in the covered drive-
way. This latter is a feature that will appeal to dealers as it
allows goods to be loaded in the worst of weather without dam-
age, while tarpaulin protects them when being delivered.

Each floor has a space of approximately 13,000 square feet, so
that there is plenty of storage for a large stock. On the top floor
are located the tea packing and coffee departments, where their
Ludella Tea is packed and Monarch Coffee is roasted and packed.
This plant is equipped with the very latest and most approved
machinery which it is possible to procure. Tea and coffee are
strong Eckardt attractions. There is also a labelling department
on this floor where they label their Monarch brand canned fruits,
vegetables and salmon. On the third floor is located the broken
package room, where small orders are assembled and packed.

“Strength of Gibraltar,” while not our phrase, aptly applies to the
rubber belting made by us and sold under the name “Gibraltar Red-
special.”

* * *

It would be interesting to us if you as a user of belting would,
before making your next purchase, get a verdict on “Gibraltar” from
some of your friends.

Ke ee, So

Ask them if a stronger belt than “Gibraltar’—one giving more
service with less loss of power—can be obtained anywhere; if any
other product will survive heavy loads better; and, if, in withstand-
ing the jerky strain consequent on fluctuation of power, any other
belt can show a higher quality of friction in uniting the plies than
“Gibraltar Redspecial.”

ves aes

We have evidence aplenty, in the form of voluntary testimony,
which shows that for strength, durability and general service,
“Gibraltar Redspecial” is unmatchable. In the Biggest Saw Mills,
Biggest Manufacturing Plants, one “driving force” is nearly always in -
evidence—Dunlop “Gibraltar” Belting.

For Drives, Rotaries, Edgers, Lath and Shingle Machines, or
any kind of Transmission work, there is nothing better than Dunlop
“Gibraltar Redspecial” Belting.

* * x

We feel sure that if you were to try “Gibraltar” Belting your testi-
mony, also, would be most complimentary to our product.

qualities of Dunlop Mill Fire Hose. This
very stability is what secured for the
Dunlop Line the exclusive approval for
Canada of the Underwriters’ Laborator-
ies, Inc., Chicago. The approval takes
the form of authorizing Dunlop, alone, to
use the Underwriters’ rubber label on
Dunlop Underwriters’ Mill Fire Hose
(Cotton Rubber Lined) or in other

words, the Underwriters’ O.K. mark.

Underwriters do not have a habit of
putting their approval on secondary
products. They have a passion for going
straight to the brand which has leader-
ship written all over it. You can figure
out for yourself the merit Dunlop Under-
writers’ Mill Fire Hose (Cotton Rubber
Lined) must have to be so highly re-
garded by the Chicago Underwriters.

Nation-Wide Demand for “ Dunlop”

Steam Hose is a line that cannot sur-
vive very long on make-believe virtues.
Hence, the reason we feel proud that
Dunlop Hose has been in such nation-
wide demand by critical observers of just

what merits a Steam Hose must possess.
Dunlop “Gibraltar” and Dunlop “Long-
Life” have a pretty good monopoly of
favor with Steam Hose users.

Skilled Men Await Your Commands

Dunlop “Hercules” and “Peerless” are
two brands of Water Hose of exceptional
durability and famous for their smooth
waterway. We also manufacture hose
for many other purposes. Our skilled
men are ready to specialize on your order,

no matter how particular you are. We
welcome buyers who are hard to satisfy,
because we know full well such men will
all the more appreciate the study we have
given—and the apprenticeship we have
served—to perfect the Dunlop product.

| 128,350 Laths in Ten Hours”

Our Lath-Mill and Bolter have made a test cut in ten hours of 128,350 four foot Le 1% in. by 3% in.,
as will be seen in the following letter:—

Messrs. P. Payette & Co.,
Penetanguishene, Ont., Can.

Dear Sirs. — I thought I
would drop you a line and let

you know of the record Lath-

Cut we made on your machines
on June 29th, 1910.

We made 128,350 four-foot
laths, 114 in. x % in., counted,
tied and piled, in ten hours
steady cutting from mill-run,
and from slabs and edgings we
had saved out, in order to keep
the machines cutting their full
capacity.

We used your No. 1 Four-
Saw Bolter, and your No. 2
Five-Saw Lath-Mill, and had
two Lath-Shovers and two
Lath-Tiers, in order to keep up
this speed.

This shows extremely well
for your Lath Machines, not
only for the tremendous cut,
but they ran the full ten hours
without a bearing getting hot
or any stoppage whatsoever,
and making first-class laths.

I therefore take great plea-
sure in recommending P. PAY-
ETTE’S LATH - MACHIN-
ERY, to any person requiring
up-to-date machinery.

I remain,

Yours sincerely,

The installation of these Stokers does not preclude the use of coal as a regular

In fact by investigating, you will find the same

Every Board at the Fastest Speed Your
Men Can Work.

Can You Ask
More of A

Planer and
Matcher ?

N TI La new race of human beings 1s developed,
it probably will not be necessary to increase
the speed capabilities of this matcher, for equipped
with an Automatic Feeding Table the ‘‘g1” now
takes care of stock faster than the most expert oper-
ator can properly judge it and get it to the machine.

In one Southern
Mill two Yates
No 91’s replaced
nine machines of
various makes,
decreased manu-
facturing costs
30% the first year
and improved

grades 35 to 40.

Since developing the modern matcher to the point
where any increase in speed is limited by the ability
of the operator to properly feed it, we have not di-
rected our activities toward impracticable bursts of
speed but rather toward improving quality, increas-
ing the actual productive time of machine and oper-
ator and decreasing its upkeep expense.

By making every adjustable part accessible to the last
degree we have reduced materially the time consumed —
in making changes and adjustments, while improve-
ments in other directions have resulted in lowering
upkeep costs to a point that 1s practically negligible.

Let us show you that

you. Our Book A 91
will help you. Write

The Yates No.91 offers you everything you could ask
of a matcher—Speed, the Highest Quality of Out-
put, Maximum Convenience, Accessibility of Parts,
Safety, Strength, and the lowest Upkeep Expense.

Canada’s Banner Province

Ontario’s timber re-
sources are unrivalled.

No other country
possesses such a
variety of hard and
soft woods.

Ontario forests are
adjacent to the great-
est waterways of the
world—the mighty
rivers and: lakes pro-
vide unusual facilities
for the lumberman.

Three Transcon-
tinental Railways
across’ the® Province
eliminate _transporta-
tion difficulties.

~ Ontario’s wood work-
ing industries, using 34
different kinds of wood,
provide a ready market
for the lumberman. -
Eighty-two per cent. of
wood used in_ the.
Ontario industries pur-
chased within the Pro-
vince.

- Ontario leads in pro-
duction of hardwoods,
cutting twice as much
as Quebec, second on
the list. .

Ontario has unlimited
quantities of Spruce
and other soft woods
suitable for the pulp

and paper industry.

Tremendous pulp’
areas are yet untouched.

Ontario’s pine producing areas outclass those of any other country
in the world, both in extent and quality of the timber.

Exporters to the’ European markets should investigate the
opportunities Ontario offers for the supply of Dimension Timber, Pit
Props, Poles, Shook Boxes, Etc.

For maps of the Province and timber regulations apply to

A Typical LEVIATHAN Main Drive, Installed at the Plant of The Riviere du Loup Pulp Co., 24 in. x 6 ply, 81 Feet in Length.

Installed June, 1911, Perfect Condition Today

Base your Judgment on Service
Rendered and LEVIATHAN &

ANACONDA are your logical choice

During the thirty-five years that we have been making belts, we have never

deviated from our original policy of producing the very best belts: belts that

transmit every ounce of energy produced by the engine, that are strong, durable,
pliable. With the minimum stretch and that cost
the least for up-keep; in other words, belts that
give the most efficient service at the lowest
possible cost.

And Leviathan and Anaconda are not affected
by extreme atmospheric changes, and will give

excellent service under the most severe conditions

Let them prove their merits in your mill to your own satisfaction

o. 2 Lath Machine

WE have brought out our No. 2 Lath Machine with the:view of meeting that:
ever increasing demand of mill men in Canada for a light, ies. capacity
Lath Machine, that will turn out a first quality product. |
Made with a one piece frame just as our larger No. 3 Machine. All the parts
are strongly constructed and have that easy accessibility that we have made a feature
of all E. Long Company Machines. We believe this very feature has done a great
deal to make the machines so popular with the trade.
Just as with our larger machine, the saws are adjustable for ordinary lath or
for pickets, staves, etc. In fact this machine will turn out work an exact counter-
part of the No. 3 Lath Machine, except in quantity. We shall be glad to give you
further details and prices.

effort: which is being made by the Government of British
ia to promote the use of B. C. lumber and timber is a develop-
f great importance in connection with the lumber business.
Phat the Government is, in this way, recognizing the de-

in the Be aGoing of their markets they will have very
assistance from the Government. The work of the B. t
ent is well illustrated by the case of the Ontario market, for
have established a commissioner’s office at Toronto, whose
acquaint the Ontario trade with the merits of B. C. pro-
to acquaint the B. C .producers with the opportunities for
i eir products i in Ontario. In short, the Government of B. C.
all it can to advertise B. C. lumber and timber to the lumber
d to the consumer of Ontario, at the same time seeking to
B. C. producer té cultivate this market. A similar plan is
ted in connection with other important markets.

ts are already being shown, that is to say, the trade in
for instance, is thinking more about B. C. products today
ever did before, and is, we believe, in a receptive mood, ready
y and use large quantities of B. C. products if the movement is
iy and developed fully. In order to make the most of any mar-
t, ho vever, it will not suffice for the Government of B. C. alone to
pioneer work and the upbuilding work as well. Unless their
- e followed up by an aggressive policy on the part of the
eens trouble and money will have been spent

will not do for the lumbermen simply to feel that B. C. lumber will |
find its way into Ontario, or into other markets, on its own merits,
however great these may be. The millmen must co-operate with the
Government in order to supplement its work and to carry it on until
it produces results.

Every lumberman in British Columbia who has made an attempt
to sell his product in an export market should know pretty definitely
what efforts will be necessary to produce results out of the publicity
furnished by the Government today. In the first place the millmen
must give the Government all the moral support they can, and must
also make a study of ways and means of giving practical support.
This can be done both by advertising and by furnishing what we
have recently come to understand by the term “service.”

While the Government of British Columbia may be counted upon
to do a good deal of the advertising work, the millman must take a
hand in it as well in order to secure the best results for all concerned.
Government advertising will probably reach a large proportion of
those whom it is important to reach, but its effectiveness by itself will
be of little account, unless it is backed up by advertising on the part
of the men who produce the lumber.

The service end is something in which the millman, the whole-
saler and the retailer are much more closely concerned personally.
The Government’s duty to a large extent comes to an end where the
service business commences. In Eastern-Canada, the service end has
been neglected to a considerable extent in the past, so far as B. C.
products are concerned, and it must be developed to a much greater
degree of efficiency if the results hoped for are to be secured. What
is necessary is that those who are engaged in the production of lum-
ber in British Columbia and are interested in its consumption in
Eastern Canada and elsewhere should make a study of the best ways
in which the requirements of these markets can be supplied. So far
as the retailer and the consumer are concerned, what they want before
they will become extensive purchasers of B. C. stocks is a dependable
source of prompt supply. This means extensive stocks on hand close
to large consuming centres, and good transportation service between
the mills and these markets, so that stocks may be kept up to the re-
quired extent. B.C. products have already demonstrated their ability,
under the transportation we have had, to compete successfully with
other stocks, whenever it has been possible to make satisfactorily
prompt and continuous delivery. Probably the Eastern Canada situ-

‘ation depends more particularly upon this one point than upon any-

thing else. The demand is already there, in a rather dormant condi-

tion, ready to show itself in good proportions if stocks become avail-

able at favorable competitive prices and in satisfactory amounts.
Unless these facts are given their full importance and acted upon,

we do not see a great measure of success ahead of the campaign for ©

increasing the use of B. C. products in the east and elsewhere, but
if they are given such consideration and action as we have suggested,
we are optimistic enough to see no limit to the expansion that is pos-
sible. Moreover, we see another feature of the situation, which leads
to the conviction that there is no option before the B. C. millmen to-
day, other than an unquestionably necessary campaign as indicated.
The great producing sections in the Southern States have already
made much headway along these very lines. They are the natural
competitors of British Columbia in the great lumber and timber
consuming markets. They have, in the past, taken enormous shares

of this trade and today they are working along the very lines we haye |

suggested. Great manufacturers’ associations in the United States
such as the Arkansas Soft Pine Association and the Southern Pine_
Association are, without the assistance of their respective Govern-
ments, spending large sums of money on campaigns for promoting
the use of their products.

The situation today is critical, so far as British Columbia is con-
cerned. Its opportunity in Eastern Canada, as elsewhere, is great,
but the same opportunity is knocking at the door of its most vigorous
competitors, and they have already opened the door and are doing

all in their power to take advantage of the opportunity. Unless the ot ‘
manufacturers of British Columbia adopt the same policy they will

soon be so far behind in the race that recovery will be a matter of —
_ many years, if it does not become Se pepeially impossible,

Trade Ethics—Can They Be Codified? * :

We have heard lumbermen time and again discussing questions
about trade which are supposed to come under the heading of ethics,
and nothing has struck us quite so forcibly as the fact that there is,
in the Canadian trade, very little unanimity of opinion as to the details
of “trade ethics.” Even during a frank and friendly discussion among
a number of lumbermen representing manufacturers, wholesalers and
retailers, it is hard to get a majority of those taking part to agree upon
more than one or two main points. Perhaps the intricacies of trade
are so extensive as to make the idea of introducing a code of trade
ethics a theoretical one only, but why not have a good try at it, say in
connection with the trade in a large distributing centre like Toronto
or Montreal, by holding a series of meetings of those chiefly inter-
ested in the three branches of the trade and discussing the matter as
fully as possible, then appointing a committee to see whether the ideas
can be crystalized into a definite code.

As a foundation from which to work out a code of trade ethics
there is nothing more practical or suggestive than the biblical instruc:
tion “Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you.”
That is really the working scheme of any code of trade or personal
ethics and is the only basis from which a workable scheme can be
developed.. The way in which it works out is pretty well understood
by everyone in the trade, but when it comes to putting it into prac-
tice, so many events influence a lumberman’s conduct that the ideal
of trade ethics often comes to grief when it comes into contact with
personal interests or business friendships.

We cannot illustrate this point more effectively than by giving an
example. In an address before a number of Jumbermen recently Mr.
F. S. Underhill, of Philadelphia, referred to the time when one of
the large lumber associations of the United States was under criticism
by the United States Government, and two Philadelphia newspapers
suggested editorially that the association should not be fined, but its
members should be sent to prison. Mr. Underhill, knowing that this
was an injustice growing out of ignorance about the working of the
association, called upon the editors of these two newspapers and said
to each of them, something like this :—

FENG er

~ . . 3

“T live in a suburban community about six miles from Philadel
phia. In that community there are two lumber yards, each carrying
an investment in lumber involving from $5,000 to $10,000 capital, pay-
ing taxes to the community, giving employment to citizens of the
community, and affording to the people of the community a supply of
material, selected, dry, ready for immediate delivery upon any emer
gency. You are bound to admit that they are to this extent benefa
tors to the community. I have a young friend living in that |
munity, who approached me a short time ago, stating that he w

for that purpose, so as to reduce the cost of the house. I said to
‘I am friendly to you and would like to accommodate you, but

payers in the community. We send our representatives to see
at least twelve times a year, asking them each time to give us:
ness, and at very many of these visits they place orders for ‘car
of lumber with us. Now do you think it is a fair thing for ‘me v *
those conditions to sell you goods at a price with which they eatin ot
compete, and take from them desirable business simply because yo
needs enable you to buy a full carload?” And, Mr. Editor, if we had
so made this sale, and one of the dealers had happened to go. to the
railroad siding when the car was being unloaded, and saw the r :
al, ascertained that we had sold it to someone who would natura af

have been his customer if I had not intervened, would it be crimin,
upon his part the next time our representative called, if he told
plainly, ‘I do not care to buy any lumber from you or your hou:

because of this transaction,’ or would it have been criminal upon his
part if he had walked across the pike and stated to his competitor th
he had ascertained that we had shipped to this house builder this car
of lumber, entirely ignoring the local dealers? The editor did not.
hesitate a moment, but replied : ‘I should say that was a ‘matter of.
ethics,’ and so, I wish to say in conclusion, that the matter of properly
protecting the interest of a customer, who isa retail lumber deale
by refusing to sell in carload lots or otherwise, to one who > Mo ge

The Management End of the Lumber Business cae as

In the Canada Lumberman of May 15th we published an article
A. M. Johnston, under the
heading ‘““Hire and Fire vs. Hire and Inspire.” In this phrase there
is summed up the whole science of business management and what
is said by the writer has a definite bearing upon the conduct of any
line of business. Mr. Johnston, however, is interested in the lumber
business and his remarks are directed more particularly towards
those who make their living in this way. Briefly, the idea set forth

is a contrast of the two chief ways of getting results out of men you

employ. One way is that of letting everyone know, either directly or
indirectly, that they are expected to make good or get out. The other
way is that of studying the men individually and learning “whom to
encourage, whom to drive and whom to coax.”

Take any individual manager of a business and start talking with
him about this matter and there will be little or no difference of
opinion, because, as a matter of theory, there is no possibility of dis-
pyuting the wisdom of the latter course, but take an opportunity of
looking into the actual state of affairs in a number of mills or shops
and you will surely find some where the manager, though he may
think that he is following the more enlightened plan, is not doing so,
and is losing money by failing to get out of his men the best work they
are capable of performing.

One does not like to dwell too much upon the resemblance of a

-man to a machine, as we all have a feeling that in our own case, any-

way, there is something about us that entitles us to be considered as
on a higher level than any kind of machine, however intricate or won-
derful it may be. But in the treatment of an employee there is much
to be learned from the way in which successful men consider his

possible capacity. This capacity he will exercise fully under the right

but follow the line of least asst eres ‘Many a time

conditions and it is the task of the manager to find out what these
conditions are and put them into effect. There is only one way of
acquiring the necessary information about a man’s capacity and that
is to make a study of him just as you would make a study of your’
machines. A machine that is good for turning out timber would not
be any good for the production of lath. Why, then, should a~ man
who has a high capacity for producing good work under definite con-
ditions be allowed to spend his time at something else at which his.
productivity is relatively small? There is only one answer ‘to this,
he should not be allowed to do it. The actual conditions oe S
in many plants show that this ideal is far from being realized.
The most useful quality in a manager, for getting results | rom
employees, outside, of course, of a practical knowledge of the v +
on hand, the machinery, markets, etc., is human interest. A grain
or two of this, mixed with an ordinary amount of business knowled e
and experience will enable a manager to secure far better results t
all the business experience in the world, when it is possessed b
manager whose ideal is to drive employees to the last minute without
consideration of the special abilities of each. * Ae
Every employee is a man, like yourself, or he was, once upon ¢
time, before he became embittered by hard experience, and eve
such a man still has in him, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
spark of his former self that will respond quickly to right treatme
Nothing will produce bigger or better results in any plant or o
than confidence between employer and employee. The old meth
of considering every man according to his resemblance, one way}
another, to an average sample, is out of date. It is really the
followed by a manager who is not competent himself to d

Profits in a Sawmill

those whose business it is to dispose of the products of the mill in the
various lumber markets. When a salesman knows that he has a well
managed mill behind him he will visit his customers with a confidence
that cannot be approached by a man who has not the same assistance.

We believe that this point, simple as it seems, is not given the
attention that it deserves in a good many Canadian mills. We have
noticed it ourselves when visiting them, and we have heard it dis-
cussed by salesmen from time to time. In our issue of May 15th, we
published a forcible article regarding this subject, written by one of
our contributors, and we would suggest that those who have not
thought about this subject as much as they might in the past, should
look up the article and read it carefully. Even during times of busi-
ness activity and prosperity this is a matter which ought to receive __
far more attention than it does. In times like the present when econ- ~
omy must be the watchword in connection with every line of pro-
duction, it is doubly important that a great source of loss and danger
should be eliminated as far as possible. Just now, when saving oper-
ations in many Canadian mills are being resumed after a winter’s idle-
ness, the results of carelessness may be seen pretty clearly in many ©
cases, where the mills were left just as they happened to be at closing
down time last fall. How much easier it would have been to open
up again this spring, if proper attention had been given to this mat-
ter. With this illustration before them, managers who have not been ey
as careful as they should in the past ought to introduce new methods _
at the beginning of the present sawing season so that next fall they
will have the change working well and be able to close down with a -
far better record of operating cost during the present season and
with a much better kept-up mill, which it will be a comparatively easy
matter to put into proper shape for the winter idleness and for next
season’s operations. 4

March, 1915. After hearing the argument, the Board reserved judg-

of the proposed increases. Those interested will be allowed to send
in further information in the meantime.

Recent advices from the south indicate a curtailment in produc- _
tion of yellow pine, of from 16 2/3 per cent. to 50 per cent. It is re-
ported that the Chicago Coal & Coke Co. has cut off its night opera- _
tions at the Conroe mill, resulting in a 50 per cent. curtailment. The
Kirby Lumber Co., of Houston, Texas, has eased off its production
at all plants about 35 per cent. It is understood that all mills of Long-
Bell Lumber Co. have curtailed approximately 18 per cent. Other ee
prominent concerns which have initiated curtailed operations are, the _
Keith Lumber Co., the Beaumont Saw Mills Co., Nona Mills Co., In-
dustrial Lumber Co., Miller-Link Lumber Co., Southern Pine Lum- _ 4

Hardwood Inspection Changes Criticizec

Radical Changes to be Discussed at

Meeting of National Association—

Much Objection Probable _

By A.

At the annual meeting of the National Hardwood Lumber Asso-
ciation which is to be held in Chicago on June 15th and 16th,
the most important matter to come up for discussion will be the
report of the inspection rules committee. This report has been pre-
pared and printed and is now in the hands of the members of the
assiciation, so that when it is up for discussion everyone will be con-
versant with its details.

The report calls for a large number of important additions and
changes in the inspection rules. From the point of view of Canadian
hardwoods, the proposed changes may be briefly summed up. In the
case of white ash, for instance, the report of the committee proposes
that firsts and seconds should remain as they are; that a grade of
“selects” shall be taken out of the upper end of “No. 1 common”; that
the grade of “No. 1 common” shall be divided into “No. 1 common
A” and “No. 1 common B”; and that the grade of “No. 2 common”
shall be divided into “No. 2 common A” and “No. 2 common B.”

For the other important Canadian hardwoods, such as black ash,
basswood, beech, birch, maple, and soft elm, etc., the grades shall
be altered in the same manner as for white ash.

The detailed proposals in connection with Canadian hardwood
grading, as included in the rules which are to be discussed, will be
clearly shown by the following extract, which shows the grading pro-
posed to be adopted for white ash :—

The Proposed Changes.

Editor Canada Lumberman:— Toronto, Ont., May 23.
After an interested perusal, we have just laid down your
Annual Issue of May 15th. This is such a decided improvement
over previous numbers that we want to take the occasion to con-
gratulate you, because such a manifest effort is entitled to reason-
able recognition.
We are, of course, impressed with the increase in size of the

issue, but the signal feature, to our mind, is the “editorial and news”

section. This shows not alone a vigorous attempt to embrace all
items of interest to the trade, but in addition, a fine discrimina-
tion in the character and treatment of the items presented.

Please again accept our commendations and our sincere con-
gratulations.

Yours very truly,

Former Rules Satisfactory ~

I would like to draw the attention of those who are interes

laid down formerly have been successful. They are becoming gen
ally accepted by the consuming trade. The inspectors have been ed
cated through several years of hard work to understand and int
these rules to the satisfaction of buyers and sellers. Why then sh
we disrupt the whole situation and try to force the National Hi:
wood Lumber Association to assume the.duties of retail y “ Sa
putting up a specific board-for every. consumer of hardwood > |

In the first place, this would entai a complete

Peer ie OR Se a

ll hardwood inspectors at the different yards. In so far as both
Canadian and American markets are concerned, very large propor-
tions of the northern hardwoods are produced at small mills. If a
-man were to make 200,000 feet of hardwoods and were to cut, say
three thicknesses, and then make grades of ’’firsts” and “seconds,”
“selects,” vO ft common. A,” “No. 1 common B,” “No. 2 common
A,” “No. 2 common B,” and “No. 3 common,’ ’ the quantities in the
different piles would be infinitesimally small. This is a position that
‘it is ridiculous to ask any small manufacturer to assume. In other
words, it is a question of making a rule that in some cases will bene-
fit a large producer, but in almost all cases will be a serious detriment
he small producer. There is no question that for at least a year’s
me there would be considerable dispute over the interpretation of
ese new rules, and this would be at a time when the hardwood lum-
business is enjoying some measure of trade revival. It seems any-
e but fair to the trade to upset all the conditions of prosperity
ntroducirg elements that will cause disputes.
Although I am a member of the Inspection Rules Committee of
e National Hardwood Lumber Association, I do not think I am
ulging any confidences when I state that a number of the mem-
s of this committee were not agreeable to making any change, but
~ er ce it was put up to the committee to form a new set of rules, we
_ have produced these which are presented as the best we cowd do,
de from what we had already, and with the hope, in the minds of
some of us at any rate, that the good common sense of the members
of the association would be exercised to the extent of seeing that they
e nothing like equal to the former rules, and that they would be
1rown out when they came before the association.
_ There is no doubt that certain people both in the consuming and
-oducing trades, would benefit by these changes, but I think we, as
er manufacturers, are big enough now to say that as a benefit
he whole trade they are not to be compared with the old rules, and
t when it comes to a vote in the general meeting of the association
they will see fit to throw them out. I, personally, shall go to the
_ meeting prepared to adhere to the old rules as being quite. equal to
our requirements and as having proven very satisfactory to the trade
ith whom we have dealt. I do not consider that it is necessary for
> s to enter into retail yard methods in producing and selling hard-
_. wood lumber in car load lots.
To show that my views on this matter are to a considerable ex-
t the views of other important hardwood manufacturers, it is only
necessary to mention that the Chicago, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati
Jumbermen have all voiced their opposition to these changes, and
: i important centres are giving them their definite consideration
Ww vith a view to following suit.

Query and Comment

New Brunswick Hardwoods

Will you be good enough to give us any data obtainable regarding the
quantity and quality of birch grown in New Brunswick, and also advise us
whether that province produces any elm, and in what districts it may be
found?—Trenton Cooperage Mills Limited.

The Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior, Ottawa,
report that birch is the most important hardwood cut in New Bruns-
wick and is made up of the wood of several species of which yellow
birch (Betula lutea) is the most important. The birches are found
over the entire province. The only elm cut into lumber in New Bruns-
wick is the white elm (Ulmus americana) and the quantity sawn is
almost negligible, representing only 6,000 feet B. M. in 1914.

The Department of Lands and Mines, Fredericton, N. B., report
that the quality of birch grown in New Brunswick is first class. There
are large quantities of this timber in the northern section of the pro-
vince, particularly on the line of the Intercolonial Railway, between
Campbellton and St. Leonards. All the lands along the line of the
railway are under timber license. The International is now owned by
the Intercolonial Railway, and information regarding freight, charges,
etc., for shipment of timber in this district may be had from their
head office at Moncton, N.B.

Elm is found only in the valleys of a few of the streams in New
Brunswick, and practically none of it has ever been brought to market.

In bulletin No. 44 of the Forestry Branch of the Department of
the Interior the following reference is made to birch in the Maritime
Provinces :—

“Birch is the most important hardwood in the Maritime Pro-
vinces, as it is also in Canada as a whole. Of the native material
the greater part is probably yellow birch (Betula lutea), with smaller
quantities of paper birch (Betula alba var. papyrifers), sweet birch
(Betula lenta) and gray or wire birch (Betula populifolia). The wood
imported from other parts of Canada would be of a similar nature,
while that purchased in the United States is probably made up of
sweet birch almost entirely.

In general, the wood of birch is fairly hard and strong, with a fine ~

even grain and texture. It is very perishable in moist situations, and
checks and shrinks considerably in seasoning. The wood is easily

worked, takes a high polish and has a pleasing figure and appearance

when finished.

Sweet birch possesses these good qualities in the highest degree

and is considered the best lumber species. Yellow birch is lighter in
color and weight, and has a greater percentage of the less valuable
sapwood. Paper birch is tougher than either of the preceding, and
its wood is very light and white in color. Gray birch is almost entirely
confined to the Maritime Provinces in Canada. Its wood is grayish-
white in color and probably the toughest of all the birches, but, at the
same time, the least durable in moist situations.

Birch, like spruce and pine, is used in sixteen of the wood-using
industries of the Maritime Provinces. This wood heads the list in
seven industries and is used in greatest quantities by the manufac-
turers of hardwood flooring, furniture, cars and building material, who

together use 68.7 per cent. of the total quantity used in the region. __
Only 45,000 feet of birch were reported as having been purchased —

outside of the Maritime Provinces. Of this small quantity (0.3 per
cent. of the total) the greater part came from the United States, and
the remainder from Ontario and Quebec.

According to the latest report of the production of lumber in
Canada the output of birch in New Brunswick during 1914 was 8,034,-

000 feet B. M., as cogpipar ed. with 5,749,000 feet B. M., i in 1913.

: CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

Lumbering Industry of Newfoundland
Removal of Export Prohibition a Boon to the Trade—Great Expansion

and Progress in All Lines
By J. W. McGrath 4

St. John’s, Newfoundland, (Special to the Canada Lumberman):
During the past year, as the result of legislation, introduced and
passed in the Newfoundland Legislature, an important change has
been effected regarding the future lumber export trade of the Colony.

In 1905 the timber exports from Newfoundland amounted to the
approximate total of 15,000,000 feet, and were valued at $200,000.
In that year prohibitive legislation was enacted regarding the ex-
port of raw timber, and henceforth the annual export of unsawn wood
from the Colony became a negligable quantity; about a quarter of
a million feet yearly.

The act of last year repealed the law enforced in 1905, and as
a result the export of raw timber from the Colony during the year
has been revived on a great scale, and every thing points to a very
large industry being developed during the coming year.

The matter of permitting the export of raw timber from the
Colony was the result of representation being made to the Newfound-
land Government from England, showing the great necessity for
securing ample supplies of pit-props and pit-wood for English and
French collieries. In response to this appeal the government, while
repealing the old act, made export from Newfoundland proper a war

’ measure, that is, the concession to last as long as the war. The act,
however, as it applied to Labrador, contained no such limitations.
It was passed for development purposes, and henceforth the export

of unsawn timber from Labrador will be permitted indefinitely. The
excellent results which have accrued from the new measure during
the past year will, it is extremely probable, influence the government
to allow the export to continue indefinitely from Newfoundland also.

The Pit-Prop Industry

The new Act came into operation during the winter session of
the Legislature of 1915, which did not meet till late in the winter, and
consequently there was comparatively little time left for much pit-prop
cutting to be done before-the lumbering season ended. The total cut
of pit props, however, exported from the Colony last summer to
England was approximately 125,000 cords.

Early last fall, several representatives of English colleries, and
of firms dealing in pit props came to Newfoundland and gave a num-
ber of contracts to local timber dealers, to be filled during the winter.
One or two agents, however, representing the largest colleries in
England, purchased timber areas in the country, and on these during

_' the winter a large number of men were employed cutting pit props.

Those who have bought and worked timberlands will effect a good
saving by eliminating the middleman’s profit. It is also understood
that, even after the war ends, those English firms who have either
- bought or will buy timber limits will use them permanently as a source
of supply, instead of, as heretofore, securing the product in Scandin-
avian countries.

During the past winter a conservative estimate places the amount
‘of pit props cut in Newfoundland alone at 250,000 cords. The num-
ber of men engaged in cutting was very great, for, besides those who
were employed by contractors, a great many remained at home, and
engaged in cutting there, as the law permitted cutting on the three
mile limit.

The price per cord which was formerly being paid for the wood
was most unsatisfactory. During the winter 1914-1915, the men who
engaged in cutting did so in some cases at a price of $2.50 per cord,
and at the end of the season found themselves with scarcely any net

returns for the winter’s work. This year the government took the
matter up, and the price of pit props was arbitrarily fixed. Hence-
forth the price must not be less than $4 per cord for unrinded wood,
while the props rinded, barked and ready for shipment bring $5.00
per cord. :

As in one year the cut of pit props has been more than double
the previous year’s cut, every indication points to the likelihood of
this year’s cut of 250,000 cords being doubled next year, so that hence-
forth Newfoundland may be expected to become an important pro-
ducer of this article for the European markets. Compared to the rest
of British North America, Newfoundland in supplying pit props to
England possesses two great advantages. In the first place labor
in this colony is undoubtedly cheaper than anywhere in Canada. And
in the second place the coast of Newfoundland is from three to four

_ hundred miles nearer to England than is any shipping port in Eastern
Canada. These advantages may be expected to be an important factor

_in developing the industry.
At the present date there are leased in Newfoundland 25,000

’ Os PS

~~ i oo a
4 . oh

square miles of timber lands. All these areas have been surveyed,
and the rentals are being paid only on what is entirely timber, some
sixteen thousand square miles. Assuming that this bears ten cords
of pit props an acre, the country at present holds some 90,500,00
cords of pit props, conservatively estimated. oe

There are besides this extent of timber under lease, large areas 6
what are considered fairly good limits of forested land not nde
lease, and a large area of the best wooded land in the country which
is held as a ‘Crown reserve. ——
_ _In Newfoundland-Labrador there are now 22,000 square miles of
timber land under lease. And it is estimated that of this area ab
15,000 square miles may be considered to be well timbered, and fr
this area it is computed that 64,000,000 cords of pit props could
taken. There are also on Labrador, other very large areas of good
timber not leased, in the disputed zone between Newfoundland and
Canadian territories. Practically all this timber is spruce, about 92,
per cent., the remainder consists of a mixture largely of birch and
pine. The fibre of the Newfoundland spruce is peculiarly adapted to’
make the wood excellent material for the manufacture of pulp and
paper, while the forests of Labrador are remarkable for the tenacity
and soundness of the wood. The writer has seen spruce boards, which
were used to construct fishing stages, in Labrador, which were x
posed without any kind of paint to all the rigors of that varying
climate. These boards were more than forty years old—some of
them, and yet there was no sign of decay. es

Scarcity of Tonnage ee

The scarcity of tonnage for shipping this year’s cut of timber to —
Europe has become acute. Altogether this spring no less than thirty
vessels and steamers have been bought in the United States and Can-
ada, at prices heretofore unthought of. > -.

The old wooden fleet of Newfoundland sealing steamers, which,
ever since being built, more than thirty years ago, were considered
suitable for any work but sealing, are being extensively altered to
be used for freighting timber to England during the summer. This
fleet, which numbers ten or twelve steamers of about 1,400 tons each,
will be most valuable, and in addition to other ships will guarantee
the export of the entire cut of last winter, sooner or later during the
year. The rate of trans-Atlantic freights, although excessive, is still
somewhat below that demanded for shipments made from Canadian
ports. :?

Export Trade in Pulp and Paper

_ During the past year Newfoundland outdistanced all other coun-_
tries in supplying “news” paper to the United Kingdom. In pre-
war times the United Kingdom supplemented its-own production of
paper, produced from imported wood pulp, by imports of the finished
product, principally from Norway, Sweden and Newfoundland. Nor-
way was always, for a number of years, the chief source, contributing
about 85 per cent. of the total imported finished product. During the
past year, Newfoundland assumed the premier position, supplying
34.7 per cent., while Norway was relegated to a second place, supply--
ing 33.5 per cent. The total amount of newsprint contributed last
year by Newfoundland was 477,896 tons. The Anglo-American De-
velopment Company, Limited, who operate large pulp and paper
mills in the country declared the first dividend since the opening of.
the mills seven years ago. This dividend, after all depreciation w. 3.
allowed for, amounted to £51,350 Os. 8d. The mills are owned by
Lord Northcliffe, and cost $15,000,000. ay

At the present time a company known as the Newfoundland
Products Corporation, of whom the Reid Bros., who are large rail ;
road owners in this country, are the chief promoters, and owners
of a large part of the stock of the company, is being financed in ‘New
York. Mills with an annual output of 100,000 cords of spruce p
wood will be erected. A sulphite pulp mill is also to be insta
having a yearly production of 36,000 tons of sulphite pulp. An elec
bleaching plant is to be used. The Corporation has already expe
in Newfoundland, in surveying lands, etc., in connection with

establishment of the plant, about one million dollars. a

The travelling trade commission appointed by Sir Geo. Foster t
visit Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, and possibly Russia,
sailed for Europe, and will be absent for three or four months.

‘ost a Making 9.2 Shell Boxes

Analysis by a Manufacturer Shows Contract Prices
Are Far Below Safety Margin*

@ On several occasions we have been informed that some firms
a quoting prices on shell boxes have submitted bids which rendered
them a distinctly unsafe proposition, and certain figures laid before
seem to indicate that there is foundation for the statement. As a
ilt of enquiries at some of the box factories where these boxes are
made, we give below a copy of the cost sheet on the 9.2 shell
00,000 of which have been recently let out at 95c. each. By
g to this cost sheet it will be seen that the actual amount of
ber required has been figured exactly, and an allowance made for
e, as is the usual practice. Then a manufacturing cost covering
price of the shook ready to be assembled, plus cost of manufac-
ie and delivery, is added, which amounts to $1.26, a total well
)5c., the price at which the business was placed. Adding a rea-
le amount for operating expenses, which every sound business
me ands to be absolutely necessary, for the safe conduct of
| siness, we have a price of $1.66.
£"s ae manufacturer, for reasons of his own, desired to disregard
e ively. his profit and operating expenses, outside of labor, he would
e to make a price of $1.55, but it is difficult to understand, how
yan at all familiar with lumber could go so far as to quote a
e on this box which will not see him through on the bare cost

Continuous Stock Inspection

In a recent issue of this journal a correspondent said that one
of the drawbacks of fast-feed machines is that so little time is ayail-
able for properly facing and graining stock. And in the last para-
graph of his article he strikes the keynote of the chord when he re-
marks that “the use of the automatic feeding table gives the feeder
the time he needs for graining and facing the stock.”

The automatic self-feed has come to stay, and it will be but a
short time before the hopper feed willbe provided for almost every
sort of machine and will handle both long and short lengths, or all
long or all short, with ease and certainty. It will perhaps not retain
the vertical form which it now has in some well-known machines,
but a form of automatic feed may be looked for wherein the various
pieces and lengths are taken from a “side-by-side, edgewise, and hori-
zontal arrangement,” which will bring forward and feed almost any
width or length of stock.

But the facing and graining of stock should not be confined to
the feed table; it should be under the inspection from the time it
enters the mill until it is delivered in finished form. When ripping
stock it should be the business of the sawyer to hold up every piece
which will not make a first-class bit of blank stock. The cut-off saw-
yer who handles this stock should never let a bad knot, a split or a
shake get past him, and when the strips closely resemble rainbows,
they should be cut short enough that the dressed stock may be
forced into place. Stock which will not come up to requirements
should be “scrapped” by each and every man whose hands it may pass
through.

A case in point: in a shop where thin stock was worked a good
deal, being planed, ripped and cut to lengths, then the ends scarfed,
glued into hoops and steamed, bent, glued, dried, and afterwards
turned and smoothed in a lathe, there was a lot of stock run through
which had to be rejected after several operations had been performed
upon it. There seemed to be no system of inspection whatever. A
machine man who came to a piece which'could not possibly make a
finished article, never thought of throwing it out, but passed it through
his machine. A change of foremen in this shop resulted in a big
change in the manner of handling work, and now every man who
handles a piece of stock is an inspector, with ‘full power and orders
to reject each piece which will not make a perfect article when
finished.

The cost of the finished article has been reduced fully 20 per cent.
by this method of continuous inspection, and there has also been a
big saving in stock. The pieces rejected at early stages of manufac-
ture are now diverted to other uses, whereas formerly they went to
the boiler furnace. Continuous inspection in this shop now begins
with the man who receives and measures the lumber as it is unloaded
into the stock room. And he is not afraid of hurting anybody’s feel-.
ings, for he rejects promptly and finally such pieces as will not come
up to the shop specifications and requirements.

When the stock is piled in storage to remain until machined, it
is separated as far as possible into grades, and the laborers who do
the piling have been taught to sort and separate the stock with a
good deal of cleverness. The cut-off sawyer rejects freely, and the
rip sawyer throws out every piece which does not look good to him.
Then the man who planes the stock and scarfs the ends has a consider-
able number of culls to his credit, upon which all succeeding opera-
tions are prevented and their cost saved. The party who places the
blanks in the steam retort finds a few which are to be rejected, and
he also finds a few more which are thrown out instead of going to the
bending machine.

This system works so well that it should be adopted in some form
in each wood-working shop in the country, no matter how large or
how small.
alert at all times to stop any defective piece, thereby saving money
and time for the shop. There is a good deal which may be done by*
each man through whose hands stock may pass, to machine each piece
to the best advantage. When, through fast feeding, small or short
stock, or other reasons, the man who keeps the feed tables supplied
cannot face and grain properly, he should be given assistance. The
result will be a great improvement in the finished product and an
almost entire absence of roughly-machined pieces, chipped-off ends,
and other defects due to running stock against the grain. ;

Try continuous inspection in your shop. It may be a bit trouble-
some to educate the machine operators up to it, but by the time one
or two have been quietly dropped for failure to inspect, the others will

have found it decidedly to their advantage to fall into the scheme, for __

it makes their own work easier and better. Try it once and you will
never regret or abolish it. And the workmen, after they have once

“caught on” to the benefits they derive from the system, do not care

to abolish it—J. F. H., in The Woodworker, Indianapolis.

The 19th annual convention of the National Hardwood Lumber
Association will be held at Chicago on June 15th and 16th. Among
the important matters to be dealt with are important proposed altera-
tions in the grading rules.

By this method every man becomes an inspector, and is »

blocks, piles, etc. It is the breaking down of wood fibre that
is caused by the growth of small plant organisms known as
fungi. The spores or seeds of the fungi, which are usually
carried by the wind, alight on timber and grow, sending mic-
roscopic threads or rootlets into the timber. These organisms
live on the timber as food, causing the eating away or breaking
down of the wood fibre.

Certain amounts of each of four things are absolutely es-
sential to the existence of these fungi; namely, air, moisture,
heat and food. ‘Take away entirely any one of these four, and
the fungi cannot live. The timber cannot be protected from
air except in occasional instances, such as piles that are en-
tirely submerged, in which case the timber needs no other
protection from fungi, but may be exposed to teredo attacks.

It is also difficult, as a rule, to protect the timber from
moisture, but where it can be so protected the growth of the
fungi is stopped. This is shown, for instance, by the excel-
lent condition in which one often finds very old timber in in-
terior construction.

If one could keep timber at or below the freezing point—
say, in a cold storage plant—fungi could not live; but from the
practical standpoint it is impossible to protect timber from
heat.

Therefore, the only thing that can be affected to destroy
the growth of the fungi—the only one of the four essential
conditions that can be removed—is food. The fungi have
only the wood fibre for food, and if that food can be rendered
poisonous, the wood will be preserved against their attacks.
This is done by treating the wood with a highly antiseptic
fluid.

To treat a tie properly in order to preserve it against de-
cay requires a modern treating plant of considerable cost and
complexity. In 1885 there were only three of these plants in
operation on the continent, while there are now over one hundred
such plants in existence, with an aggregate capacity of over 100,000,000
ties a year. In Canada we have but five of these plants, all built
within the last four years, with an aggregate capacity of approximately
4,500,000 ties per annum. These plants are located at Sydney, N.S.;
Tort Frances, Ont.; Trenton, Ont.; Transcona, Man., and Vancouver,
BiG:

Such plants consist of retorts, pressure pumps, vacuum pumps,
proper gauges, storage tanks, measuring tanks, etc. Fig. B is an in-
terior view of the retort house at the Trenton plant. The retort (1)
is shown at the right of the photograph. It is 134 feet long, 7 feet
in diameter, and has a net capacity of about 2,500 cubic feet of wood.
The retort is built of riveted boiler plate to withstand 225 pounds
pressure per square inch. There is a door (2) at each end which is
_ securely bolted and sealed after the retort has been charged. A re-
ceiving tank (3) holds the creosote oil that is drained from the retort
after thé finish of the pressure treatment, and also after the finish of
the vacuum treatment. A centrifugal pump (4) forces this oil from
the receiving tank to the overhead tank (5), from which the supply is
drawn when the treatment is begun.

Steam coils run along the bottom of the retort for its entire
length in order to regulate.the temperature of the preservative during
treatment.

At the operator’s station is a board on which is mounted a num-
ber of gauges, both indicating and recording. One gauge indicates
the pressure in the retort and one records it on a timed sheet. The
amount of vacuum is indicated by another gauge and recorded, with

according to time.

Among the plant’s equipment ‘are several trains of tram cars, such
as are shown in the centre of Fig. C. These are used to convey the
ties and lumber into the retort for treatment. Sixteen tie lengths
are used:to make up a train; a tie length to each tram car; each tram
car holding about 60 ties. The train is pushed by an electric locomo-
tive right into the retort. The cars are not coupled, but are so con-
structed that they can push against each other without, disturbing
the load, a cast steel bumper being attached to each end of every car.
A wire cable is fastened to the car fatthest from the locomotive, so
the train is easily drawn out.

A different type of tram is used for treating paving blocks. A
train of them is shown at the left of Fig. D. After these trams are
filled with blocks, a perforated slide closes across the top of each tram,
holding the blocks in place but allowing the creosote oil to flow
through the perforations and fill the car.

The paving block mill which operates in connection with the
treating plant and manufactures the lumber into paving blocks, con-
sists of a conveyor, a planing mill, saw tables with saws, etc. Sea-
soned lumber is loaded onto the conveyor, shown in the foreground of
Fig. A, which carries it into the block mill. It passes on five rolls in a
straight line through the planer and onto the saw table, on which it is
fed into a mill of from sixteen to twenty saws which cut fifteen to
nineteen blocks at a time. The sawn blocks drop onto another con-
veyer which carries them from the mill. As they pass out they are
inspected and, from the conveyer shown in Fig. D, they are loaded

into the cages; as the paving block trams are called. Sixteen of
these-cages ang used to make up a train for each charge. Each cage

contains about forty square yards of blocks.

Ties and timbers from the seasoning yard are loaded onto tram
cars such as are shown in the centre of Fig. C and a number of trams
placed together to make a train such as is shown at the left of Fig.
C, ready to be pushed by the electric locomotive into the retort. The
trains of block cages are made up at the conveyer at the end of the
tat mill, as shown in Fig. D, where they have been filled with

ocks.

When the treatment is started after a train of paving blocks, ties
or lumber has been placed in the retort, and the end doors closed and
hermetically sealed, oil is allowed to flow into the retort from the
overhead tank, filling the voids around the timber. Then by means
of steam pumps additional oil is forced into the retort to obtain the
amount of pressure required to saturate the wood thoroughly, 100 to
180 pounds pressure being used, according to the kind of wood. Upon
completion of the pressure treatment the pressure is released and the
oil is rapidly drawn into the receiving tank. A vacuum of from 23
to 27 inches is then quickly created in the retort by means of a special
arrangement of vacuum pump and condenser. ‘This vacuum is sus-
tained from an hour to an hour and a half, and draws from the wood
the surplus oil. After this surplus oil is drawn off, the doors of the
retort can be opened and the train withdrawn.

During the treatment heat plays an important part as well as pres-
sure and vacuum. The temperature during the pressure treatment
is never allowed to drop below 150 degrees F., nor to rise above 190
degrees F. The degree of penetration depends largely upon the tem-
perature of the oil; the higher the temperature, within certain limits,
the freer the liquid will flow and the more easily it will enter the pores
of the timber after the timber has become warm and the pores ex-
panded by the heat. Some kinds of wood offer little resistance to the
oil, while other kinds offer great resistance, depending on the size
of the pores, the smoothness of the cell walls and the extent to which
material obstructions are contained in the cells. The temperature,
pressure, vaccuum, etc., etc., are readily regulated by the operator, all
valves and the controlling apparatus being near the station from
which he watches the proceess.

A complete record is kept so that any official of the creosoting
company, or the customer’s representatives, can check the operator's
discretion and skill. These records are kept, and should it be de-
sired to refer to them at any time for any reason, after a lapse of
many years, one can easily do,so.

A clocklike device shows the amount of oil in- the overhead tank,
both before and after treatment. The difference, of course, is the net
amount left in the charge. This method is remarkably accurate. It
is checked up monthly by actual and precise measurements, and is
also verified by weighing the timber before and after treatment. The
whole process of treatment takes from three to five hours for ties and
from four to eight hours for paving blocks. If the ties are well
barked, in good condition and well seasoned, the treatment does not
take so long as it does otherwise.

Various preservative fluids are employed, but that which is in
most general use is creosote oil. Of the five plants in Canada equip-
ped for preserving wood on a large scale, all except one use creosote
oil. The plant at Fort Frances, Ont., uses chloride of zinc. Unless
the timber is penetrated so deeply with the preservative that checks or
openings cannot reach beyond the treated zone, the spores will find
their way in through the checks to the untreated portion and cause
interior rot, which is frequently misnamed “dry rot.” The depth of

penetration of the creosote oil depends on the amount of oil that is’
forced into the wood, yet it is not necessary for the preservation of
the timber to leave so much oil in the timber as must be put into it in
order to obtain the required penetration. Therefore, many plants use
the process whereby a large quantity of oil is forced into the timber,
thus insuring thorough .penetration, but whereby a considerable por-
tion of this oil is afterwards drawn from the timber by the creation
of a high vacuum. This leaves in the timber only the amount of oil
that is needed, and the oil is evenly distributed throughout the timber
(except impenetrable heart wood), instead of simply being distribu ed
densely at the surface. By this method proper penetration can be
secured without adding so greatly to the cost as would be done if a
the oil were left in the ‘timber that had been put in to obtain the pene-
tration.

After the blocks, ties or timbers have been treated, the penetra-
tion is inspected by the representatives of any inspection company
who may be present on behalf of the purchasers of the materials, by —
cutting the blocks in two by means of a hatchet, or extracting small
borings from the ties and timbers. These borings are made with a
Swedish instrument which resembles a miniature core drill in its ac-
tion. A perfect core several inches long and about 3/16ths of an
inch in diameter is taken out of each timber that is bored. Examina-
tion of these cores shows the depth and uniformity of penetration.
The method of loading ties onto the railroad cars after treatment
is shown at the right of Fig. C. The handling of large timbers, both -
before and after treatment, is all done mechanically.

Before ties and timbers are treated, or before lumber is cut into
paving blocks, it is stacked on the seasoning yard for months, to be-
come properly seasoned. The lumber is stacked in open piles, so as
to permit the free circulation of air, for three to five months. The
ties are piled in such a manner as will permit of good air circulation
and at the same time not allow sufficient exposure to cause checking. ©
It requires from 6 to 10 months to-season ties properly. Fig. E
shows the manner of piling ties.

-__ Creosote oil, the preservative used at the Trenton plant, is de-
fined scientifically as any and all distillate oils boiling between 200
degrees and 400 degrees C. which are obtained by straight distillation
from tars consisting principally of compounds belonging to the aro-
matic series and containing well-defined amounts of phenoloids. Or,
to be less technical, creosote oil might be defined as a distillate from
@ tar which is produced as a by-product in the manufacture of coal
from bituminous coal by the retort method; or a distillate from
tar which is produced as a by-product in the manufacture of coke
1 bituminous mixture of these two kinds of tar.
Creosote oil is highly antiseptic and thoroughly protects the tim-
ainst fungus growths. For ties, eight to twelve pounds per
ce foot (about 2% gallons per tie) is left in the timber, while for
ving blocks from sixteen to twenty pounds per cubic foot is left in.
Sreosote oil may have a preservative value from physical properties
ell as from its antiseptic or poisonous nature. This is especially
then applied to paving blocks. It may be capable of adhering
. cell walls and fibre of the wood with such permanency as to
nt conditions favorable for the development of elements de-
ructive to timber. With the idea of obtaining the greatest preven-
tion, both chemically and physically, pure coal-tar of low carbon con-
ent is frequently mixed with the creosote oil.
_~ Recently there threatened to be a serious shortage of creosote oil
this continent owing to the war in Europe, but the release by the
ish government of a number of cargoes of creosote oil helped the
ittuation. England and Germany are the leading producers of creo-
fe oil distilled from coke-oven coal-tar. When coke is manufac-
ed in bee-hive ovens the coal-tar is burned in the process. On this
tinent most coke ovens are of the bee-hive type, while in Europe
y are of the by-product type. Therefore we are largely dependent
Europe for our supply of coal-tar and creosote. The only by-
duct ovens in Canada are at Sydney, N.S., and Sault Ste. Marie,
t. A bee-hive oven costs only about one-third or one-fourth as
ich as a by-product oven, which explains the popularity of the bee-
ovens. The quality of coal for cooking in Europe is not so good
this continent, and requires the by-product oven in order to
the greatest quantity and best grade of coke. Therefore the
the more expensive by-product oven is not altogether a matter
yf choice in Europe.
reosote oil is one of the fractions of crude coal-tar obtained by
illation. It is the fraction coming off between the benzol and
¢ acid compounds, which come off at low temperatures, and
itch, which remains in the still at the highest temperatures.
-gas tar usually has a high percentage of free carbon which should
ed out, or otherwise removed, before such tar is ever mixed
osote oil. Refined coal-tar is often added to the creosote oil
ring it for use in wood preservation, as the treatment is more
nent when the mixture is used than when only creosote oils of
pecific gravity are used, as there is a marked evaporation of the
oiling fraction of the creosote oil. The coal-tar and the creosote

The difference in strength between untreated and treated ties and
timbers, except in the case of those treated with heavy oils which pro-
tect the timber from excessive moisture and add to its strength, is so
slight as to be of no importance. This assumes that ties and timbers
are properly treated and not injured by steaming or excessive heat
during treatment. The drier that wood is kept, in ties and timbers,
the stronger and better service they render.

The very great value derived from the treatment of wood is not
only the prevention of the rot which makes the wood useless. The
treatment maintains the original strength of the timber, especially in
the case of ties treated with oil, and causes it to resist mechanical
abrasion and wear longer. Furthermore, when ties are properly
seasoned before treatment and preserved with creosote oil, the oil
resists moisture and prevents the ties from becoming soft and spongy.

The added life due to creosoting depends upon the quality of.
treatment, and upon the kind of timber and the manner in which it is
used. It is only fair to say, however, that creosoted ties will last from
three to five times as long as untreated ties, while the cost of treat-
ment does not double the cost of the tie. Therefore the great saving
in the use of treated instead of untreated ties is apparent. This saving
is even more pronounced in the case of other timbers.

Protecting Forests by Publicity

Good Results Secured by Canadian Forestry Association :
in Fire Prevention
By Robson Black

The use of publicity in the building up of forest protection senti-
ment has been employed only to the minimum degree by the lumber-
men of Canada. Inspired by the excellent results achieved by the
Western Forestry and Conservation Association of the United
States, the British Columbia Forest Service and some commercial |
firms have gripped the idea and set it to work. So satisfactory and :
promising have been the results of popular education in forest guard-
ing as to justify an extension to every forested province of the Domin-
ion. Quebec, particularly within the zone of the co-operative asso- i
ciations, has accomplished something in the distribution of educative
literature, and the carrying out of a personal propaganda by the pre-
cept and example of the fire rangers.

The adherence of all wideawake lumbermen to the needs of vigor- a
ous mutual and governmental action in the cause of forest protection
against fire is growing at an amazing rate. Limit holders whoa few
years ago shook their heads at the thought of employing any pro-
tective devices other than natural rainfalls, have quit their old-
fashioned position and lined up with the “moderns.” The first ex-
perimental years of the St. Maurice and Lower Ottawa co-operative
associations in Quebec have helped greatly in a general conversion.
Actual saving of timber has become an accomplished fact. Old time
losses have been cut to fractions. Statistical proof has been produced he
not only in Quebec and British Columbia, but from many parts of the 5
United States, where brains have been given a chance to demonstrate —
the folly of tolerating wholesale fire damage in timber areas. No Si

longer need the progressive lumberman point to results accomplished _ ee:
in Europe; he has results at his own door. No longer have the pro- iz
vincial and federal administations the excuse that forest fires are a “Si

necessary evil, pecularly associated with the Canadian timberlands. ~ s
Facts have shown this to be false ground, and have also shown that _ ca
whenever any of our government forest departments care to institute ~~
genuine forest protection, they need not step beyond the borders of :
the Dominion to find how it should be done.

Forest Fire Causes 7

The immediate causes of forest fires differ somewhat with the
locality. Settlers’ clearing operations cause enormous losses in one _
district, and in another the sportsman, river-driver, prospector, may
equally share the onus of damage. Nearly always, however, human —
hands and human heads must bear the responsibility. , *

Laws that promise punishment will do much in curbing some _
classes of incendiarists, but it must be remembered that nearly all —
forest fires are, in the main sense, accidental. Few settlers deliberately
burn the timber of the limit holder, although their carelessness is
almost as guilty. Few campers deliberately desire to destroy the
haunts of a thousand other campers; so it is with the river-driver,
the prospector and the others.

This lack of deliberateness in the setting of dangerous fires in
forest areas supplies the reason why all who have standing timber
exposed to risk, or who have the more remote interest of a lumber _
yard, or a furniture factory, should get acquainted with, and stand ~
behind, any organized Canadian effort to fight forest fires by education.
The goodwill of an informed public is worth all the forest laws ever
written. ith © 3S

with the degree in which propaganda has been successful.”

The limit holders of the Western States agree with such a pro-
nouncement; they back it up to the tune of from $200,000 to $300,000
a year in educational work. There is not more than a trifling frac-
tion of such an amount spent on educative work by the lumbermen
of Canada, outside of the two co-operative associations in Quebec,

_ but the plentiful indications of an awakening to the needs of the situ-

ation are most encouraging.
The Publicity Campaign

The work of bringing the masses of the Canadian people into
intimate touch with the forests and forest industries of the country
is mainly in the hands of the Canadian Forestry Association, which
has its headquarters at Ottawa. Without any governmental or other
affiliation, this association, composed of public spirited Canadian
citizens to the number of over 3,700, has waged a campaign for seven-
teen years. The hard labor expended in the long discouraging period
when conservation was a dictionary term is bearing fruit. Even in
the past two years of war, heavy additions to the membership and
a wide extension of the association’s activities have been carried out.

Three-fourths of the day-to-day energies of the association are

“expended on forest fire prevention through winning public co-opera-

tion. Experience in the United States, and to a considerable extent
in British Columbia and Quebec, has plainly proved that skilful and
persistent education must travel hand in hand with lookout towers,
trails, telephone lines and rangers. How the educative portion of the
work is carried out by the Canadian Forestry Association may be
briefly indicated.

Practically all newspapers in Canada, daily, weekly, commercial,
religious, etc., give the association the fullest assistance in spreading
information about the importance of the wood-using industries and
the need of guarding their supplies. Hundreds of articles; many
illustrated, are prepared and placed. Newspaper cartoons, putting
a sermon in a nutshell, are placed with about three hundred papers
three times a month. Co-operation is also given to public and private
agencies in getting important news to the newspapers and magazines,
such as prosecutions of settlers, changes in regulations, etc.

Illustrated lectures, under the auspices of public societies are
given in many parts of Canada. Motion picture theatres are freely
utilized to show special fire cartoons between the reels. “Ready-pre-
pared” lantern lectures are sent to ministers, teachers, etc., who have
facilities for gathering audiences.

Enlisting Local Co-operation
One of the most fruitful activities in which the Canadian For-
estry Association is engaged is the encouragement of Boards of
Trade, municipal councils, clubs and societies to take an interest in
the forest conditions of their localities and to bring pressure to bear

upon provincial and federal authorities for needed reforms in ad- .

ministration or in laws.

The influence of the printed word was never so definite and real
as it is today. The association makes use of, print and illustration to
an extent limited only by its finances. During the past seven
months, ten thousand copies of ’”’ The Boy Scout’s Forest-Book” were
placed in the hands of school boys and girls and their elders. Col-
ored instructive pamphlets were issued in French and English to the

- extent of about thirty-five thousand. Twenty-five thousand copies of

“A Matter of Opinion,” a propagandist novelty of 24 pages, and
fifteen thousand copies of “Your Enemy’s Photograph” in two
languages, have gone through the country. The banks, railways,
forest departments, and private corporations undertake to give all
these issues very careful distribution to settlers, railwaymen, river
drivers, campers, etc., etc., from coast to coast. The association also
maintains “The Canadian Forestry Journal,” which has been found

of marked value educationally. The foregoing are some of the more

tangible concerns to which the attention and revenues of the asso-
ciation are directed.

It will be noted that in no department of its work is the associa-
tion taking up cudgels for anything but the most practical and proved
methods of forest preservation through the sure channel of education.

A Creditable Issue

Co-operation Between Manufacturing! sai Sales Depa

"June 8

' a ‘

By George C. Robson

If we should ask the average manufacturer if his sales and manu-
facturing departments were co-operating, we believe he would ans-
wer, “We think so”; but ask the average sales manager or mill super-
intendent this same question and the answer undoubtedly would bss
“Not as much as they should.”

If any two departments in any business should work together
produce results, it is the sales and manufacturing deparements
in many ways this applies more to the lumber business to-day t
ever before and more so than in many other lines of business.

The sales manager does not believe there is an intentional lack 6
co-operation between these departments, but rather a lack of unc
standing or knowledge of the other department’s operations. ay

How many sales managers. to-day have a proper .- OW
ledge of the manufacturing end of the business; but how many
men directly responsible for the proper manufacture of lumber h i
any knowledge of the work of the sales department or the respe
values of the different grades or kinds of lumber they produc
how it is sold on the market?

In the days gone by, when practically all lumber was sold as 1
run, it did not matter so much to the sales manager or the mill depar
ment if a few thousand feet, more or less, were lowered in grade
not being properly manufactured, for was it not true that it all brou
the same price?

The manufacturer, who expects quality produced, must realize
that to some extent it will affect quantity, but he should figure out for
himself whether quality or quantity is the best paying proposition.
Before he can perfect a manufacturing organization that will produce d
both, he must educate them and let them know something of what i it
means to him to get both results.

The soft wood problems, in both the manufacturing and sales
departments, are on a much higher scale of efficiency than are the
hardwoods and for this reason the hardwood question will oe consid 4
ered more seriously than thé soft woods.

Is there a manufacturer to-day who is satished! “hat ‘al
mill department is producing the maximum amount of better
grades in the hardwoods, or is satisfied that he is getting the full
money value in lumber from the sawing of his logs? ing

Is there one who is: thoroughly satisfied with the presen ao
manner in which he markets his hardwood" products? There
is, of course, a remedy and we believe this remedy is in the hands of
the employer fully as much as or more than in the sales or manufac- —
turing departments ; and when the remedy i is found, these department Ss
must co-operate to work it out. ="

Manufacturing and Sales Departments at a 3

We urge that the sales and manufacturing departments eachi stud
the problems of the other; that the sales managers familiarize them- —
selves with the market’s requirements | so they can intelligently advise
the manufacturing department, and when, the mill department under- —
stands some of the principal essentials of the sales department, it will
produce the quality that will enable the sales depataae to make a
much better showing.

We believe each manufacturer could “well take his. itl apelined
tendent, head sawyer, edger man, and trimmer man, yard foreman, and |
graders into his confidence to the extent of possibly holding meetings |
frequently, talking over the various subjects in connection with the
proper manufactuirng of lumber, advise them of the respective values
of the different grades, make a study of the grading rules and i impress —
on them the necessity of their becoming students of the manufactur-
ing game; and in this way the manufacturer, his sales managers and
employees will find much colic hineeee and more interest in ke
manufacture of lumber.

The up-to-date manufacturer of to-day is endeavoring — to.
manufacture his lumber with the expectation of shipping it to meet
the requirements of the market ; and in determining how he will manu-.
facture his timber, he must first consider the quality of his logs.
his logs are of good size and quality, he can well consider the sav
of some thick material, but unless he has a good quality, he shoul (

Proper Sorting Advisable

xt to the proper manufacturing of lumber comes the import-
Orting the lumber to the best advantage in accordance with
nner in which it is to be sold.

ost of the manufacturers have already overcome sorting difficul-
ith reference to their soft woods, but the sorting of hardwoods
» market has been largely neglected by most of the mills, as a
il investigation shows that most of them still continue to pile
irdwoods No. 2 common and better.

lieve this, to a more or less extent, is necessary on account
lajority of the mills not having a sufficient amount of room on
orting works to enable them to sort the many different kinds
they manufacture to advantage and as a result a very heavy
expense results when the lumber is shipped, on account of
extra sorting and handling in the yard.

, well equipped, with sufficient sorting room, can, with prac-
) additional expense, sort its lumber so as to eliminate a large
of the cost now chargeable to the loading of harwood lum-
all know, is high in comparison with the loading cost of

ve you will bear me out in the statement that in the ordin-
the cost for inspecting and loading hardwood lumber is on
, considerably in excess of $1 a thousand where the lumber
o. 2 common and better, while a soft wood yard, where the
is sorted, can be handled for less than one-half of the cost of
» hardwood in the same yard.
ily can you materially reduce the cost of loading your hard-
proper sorting at the mill, but you have the additional ad-
-having your lumber sorted ready for the market, can give
what it requires promptly, and without the necessity of the
heavy expense of sorting and stacking down in an attempt
jut any particular grade; and you likewise will eliminate the
ation that results from stacking lumber for any length of time.
e do not suggest that this sorting at the milf be done to excess,
do believe that every mill can do a much better job of sorting
e« done at the present time and we likewise believe that
cturer who is producing hardwoods can well give seri-
Jeration to his present sorting capacity and the manner in
. separates and piles his lumber.

- Piling an Essential Factor

ig of lumber is fully as essential as proper manufacturing.
dations for pile bottoms should be made solid, with good
well up from the ground to allow a free circulation of air
les. In piling the lumber, plenty of pitch from the bottom
> of the pile should be allowed and proper chimneys of good
should be placed in the centre of the pile to allow circulation
n the bottom to the top of the pile. Narrow crossing strips
ys be used, especially in hardwoods, and care should be
that these crossings are placed directly above the founda-
. This will eliminate a great deal of warped and crooked
ed by improper piling. “i ;
iling of better grades, it has been found very profitable to
h hemlock strips, either green or dry, to help eliminate the
xf discoloration. Stain undoubtedly causes the lowering of
lumber more than any other feature in connection with air-
ck, and great care should be used to see that lumber is
ivoid this feature. es
erent kinds of lumber require different spacing to dry pro-
nd to the best advantage, while the season of the year in which
ed makes considerable difference in the amount of spacing

er should be properly roofed with plenty of exura pitch as
the pile is completed. If it is piled 12-foot and shorter to-
the same should be covered with 16-foot lumber of as wide
ths as can be obtained conveniently, while 14 and 16-foot piles or
square piles should be covered with a double length roof; and
er event the roof should extend at least 18 inches over the front
nd 2% feet over the back of the pile. Care should be used
cracks in the bottom course of roofing are well battened
hes or wider, as it is a mistake to use 4-inch strips

“4 5 i

-would not accept this and held out for the full $2.50. Finally ttus

ht ee

AND WOODWORKER 39°

Each pile cover should have three crossing strips on the top, se- f
curely tied down at the ends with twine to hold the roofing in place
against winds, which would otherwise disturb them.

___-If proper pitch is not allowed in the pile bottom, it should be made
in piling. Good lumber should not be used for risers in making this
pitch, as the lumber will stain and lower in grade, but rather use a
low grade for this purpose, as well as for roofing beds.

Lumber that is piled as above, either 12-foot and shorter, together
on three foundations, 10 feet from front to back, and 14 and 16-foot
together, with three foundations, 14 feet from front to back, or in box
piles on four foundations 4 feet apart, so all lengths will rest on a
crossing and if piled with a pitch of 1 inch to the foot and carried for- “
ward in front in the process of piling at the rate of about 14 inches
to the foot, will stand the work of the elements without deterioration
fora considerable length of time and will come from the pile free from
crossing stains, serious checking and other defects caused by improper
piling. E

It has been found advisable in many places to cover all hardwood
and pine lumber of the grade of No. 2 common and better with No. 3
and No. 4 common hardwood.

A little care used by the piling crew will result in this low grade
lumber coming off the piles with very little depreciation, while if bet-
ter grades are used for pile covers there is sure to be depreciation in
value.

Plenty of space should be used between the piles and also behind 3
the piles to allow a free air clearance throughout the yard.

The grading of lumber is a very important feature and as much
of it should be done at the saw mill as is possible. If the manufactur- |
ing organization does its part properly and the same is properly graded
before it leaves the saw mill, the work of the inspectors in the dry 7
yard will be reduced to a minimum and the amount of outs to re-
handle will be small.

This careful inspection and scoring at the saw mill will likewise
insure a much better grading of dry lumber and the amount the in-
spectors can handle will increase materially.

The sales department can likewise handle its sales to better ad-
vantage on account of knowing approximately what it has to offer on
the market and it can thereby take full advantage of the best markets —
in. making its sales.

Jf agy oo r

Should be Properly Loaded

The loading of lumber, while it may seem unimportant, and fre-
quently is very carelessly done, is one of the important features with
a sales department. Lumber should be properly loaded, with the ends
and sides evenly piled, with short stock mixed with the longer lengths
throughout the car rather than piled in the door or altogether in one
portion of the car. .

Planing mill work should always be done in a high class manner.
Poor planing mill work is the cause of as much trouble in the sales ~~
department as poor grades. The planing mill foreman should see that a
his knives are kept in proper shape to do smooth, high class work and F
particularly to see that matching and similar work is done in such a
way that it will fit properly for the purpose intended and present a
high-class appearance. A few pieces of lumber improperly milled
oftentimes cause serious complaint, while a little care and watchfulness
at the planing mill will eliminate this trouble and save the manufac-. ‘
turer considerable loss, and give satisfaction to his customers. , f q

Valuable Suggestions

In closing, I desire to make the following suggestion: that the =
sales department and the manufacturing end of the business get to- © —
gether in a spirit of co-operation, make a study of the efficiency in
manufacturing and endeavour to have their product leave the saw mill
manufactured in as near a perfect manner as is possible; and the manu-
facturing department should Le taken into the confidence of the sales
department so they will know more of values between the various >
grades of lumber. Ra

I urge that the manufacturers endeavor to sort their lumber to bet-
ter advantage at the saw mill; that much more care be used in the ~
proper piling and roofing and that the shipping department and plan-
ing mill department ‘use-more care in the loading and millworking.

I particularly urge that the sales manager use more care in
endeavoring to dispose of the stock in the manner best suited to fit
the stock he has to offer and in accordance with the manner in which
it is piled. -

On May 23rd a brief strike occurred at Ottawa when 40 or 50 |
river drivers on the log booms for various companies demanded more _
pay. The men were getting $2.25 per day and wanted $2.50. The
companies refused this and the men quit work. The lumber com- _
panies then offered a compromise of a 10c. increase, but the men _

was granted and the men returned to work.

Good Food Helps Loggers’ Output

Efficient Cooking Produces Better Meals at Lower Cost— Good
Advice from a Practical Man.

“Cook-House Efficiency” is a subject which comes up for discus-
sion frequently in connection with successful logging operation. For
this reason, and because of the comparative scarcity of anything in the
way of a written discussion of the subject, we are glad to be able to
reproduce from “The Timberman” an article contributed by E. Hoyer,
cook for the C. H. Wheeler camp at Timber, Oregon. Mr. Hoyer’s
article is as follows :—

This subject has been under much discussion in the last few years,
especially on account of the greatly increased cost of living. I have

had lots of experience as a logging camp cook, and I have devoted,

most of my time to the study of efficiency and economy, and I will
try, to the best of my ability, to explain my views.

I know many camps a few years ago used to think they got off
reasonably well with two pounds of fresh meat a day per man, besides
the salted and cured meats. Today those same firms have cut down
the cooks’ allowances to one and one-half pounds, as the high prices
are constantly driving them to economize, if they are to break even.

From personal experience I know that the best results can be
had with one pound of meat a day. This may sound small to some,
but it can be done easily. However, it requires study and real figuring,
and the highest point of efficiency everywhere. There are a hundred
little things, each of which helps. Many little streams make a big
river, but each must have its supply of water or the river will go dry.

The companies are forcing themselves to economize more every
day by force of necessity. Still there has been nothing done to educate
them to the occasion or give them more practical “knowledge than
they ever had, and the matter of a course at college for this class of
work is almost out of the question, and not to be considered anyway
at this time, and cooking schools are of no practical use for this kind
of work.

The main item of cost in the boarding house is the meat. If the
cost of fresh beef by the side is 121%4 cents (the average price today)
by the time it is cooked, the bones and other waste eliminated, it is
actually worth 25 cents a pound, so anyone will realize that it is an
item worthy of the greatest consideration, and to see to it that the
men have all they want and have it nicely and appetizingly put up,
and still use as little as possible, is a very big problem to solve.

It must be remembered that these men work hard in the fresh
air, and naturally develop a good appetite, and to get a man’s good-
will (a most priceless asset), feed him well when he is hungry, and
also the better you feed him the better he feels, and the more work he
will produce, and that is what you got him for in the first place.

_ One thing more which is probably not generally known: If you
want your men satisfied to east less, load the table in front of them to
capacity with nice things, and if you try and cut down on the grub
it will act just the reverse.
; From personal experience I know places I have worked where I
could not feed the men as well as I would like, where the management
would try to cut out all expensive things possible, and used the cheap-
est grade of everything. In the first place, the men would be dissatis-
fied, in the second place the cost of the meals is always considerably
higher in these places than where I got plenty of everything and
was able to satisfy the men.

It must be remembered there always is plenty of fresh meat, and
if there is nothing else to eat they surely will eat more meat. Such
things as soup, bread and potatoes should be given more attention
than they get from a good many cooks. They are the less costly part
-of the meal, and the better they are the cheaper the meal.

I have heard many cooks say they don’t care about soup; there

_ are.only a few who eat it anyway. That’s just what’s the matter. If

you don’t care, the soup is no good and nobody wants it. Just try

for a short time and do the best you can on it, and it will be appreci-

ated by fifty per cent. of the boarders, and the only cost of soup is
vegetables, as you always have the bones anyway.

If any of my colleagues should read this article, I will ask a ques-
tion they can answer fair to their own judgment: Do you remember,
for instance, some Thanksgiving you were worried because you were
afraid you were not going to have enough turkey? You were sure
they were going to eat an awful lot, and you decided to do the best
you could. You filled the platters as well as you could—and do you
remember how you had quite a lot left, and do you know why? If
you do or do not I will tell you.

If you overload a plate in front of a gentleman of leisure and a
poor appetite, it will make him sick and he can’t eat at all, but if you
fill the plate in front of a lumberjack who has a good fresh-air appe-
tite, it doesn’t make him sick, but it gives him a feeling of confidence

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

, ae ° aye. Mad a ' Ri ede ara c

and satisfaction. He knows your intentions are real, and it seems ‘then
like a little will satisfy him.

On the other hand, if you want him to eat all the hash, in the
first place use nothing but fresh and clean stuff for it, and have it well
seasoned, and see that you yourself, your help and the place wh ere
you work looks neat and clean at all times; it always gives the m en
confidence. Then be sure to put just a little hash on each platter a d
have it refilled as often as it is empty, and you will get rid of more
hash than you ever thought possible.

Of course, when I say to fill the table in front of the men te
capacity, it must be understood that the cook must be able to pu
up in such a manner that what is left over can be used again and be
as good as it was in the first place. You cannot afford to lose anythi Ta
if you are going to get the cost down to my proportions, and any cook ~
who cannot do this needs some more learning or he will be a hope-
less failure in any boarding house. -

Now, some of these things may sound foolish to some, and small
and even insulting, but they are facts and part of the real art of effici-
ent boarding house management.

Efficiency is necessary. It must come, therefore it is the only
real solution of the problem.

Only a few years ago most camps were charging $4.50 a week |
for board, but the cost of everything increased to such an extent that —
they kept raising, and many of them are now charging $6, and still
they can’t break even. ‘

The manager of a well-known logging company in Oregon ne
me last spring in a private interview that they had two camps, each —
of 100 men or more. I know he hires the best cooks he can find, and
pays top wages. He furnishes anything reasonable that is asked. —
They raised the board to $6 and are still running behind each month, —
and these camps are close to the railroad. The cost of getting stuff —
in there is small compared with many camps that have a long haul |
by team, over bad roads.

Several managers have told me, “We are paying some of our |
men as little as $2 a day, and these men just can’t afford to pay $6
for board, but neither can we afford to run behind.”

The trouble with most of the companies is, if they do hire a board-
ing house manager or camp manager—or whatever you prefer to call
him ; I would call him efficiency man—it is mostly either a man with
money, influence, or a young fellow with a college education who just
has to have a start somewhere. It is hardly ever an experienced camp
cook, with up-to-date ideas, and will and gumption to back them up,
and only such a man would be able to do things. He would be able —
to hire cooks and helpers who will take his ideas and work hand in
hand with him, a thing absolutely necessary for success. It would
also inspire the better class of men with new ambition—that of becom-
ing efficiency men themselves.

I suppose this line of talk will meet with disapproval from. some
of my readers. If so, I am sorry, but I must admit that I don’t expect —
to please everybody, but it is my aim to state facts as I see them. The |
world is getting bigger and greater every day, and there is, by reason |
of progress, a constant demand for bigger men to do bigger things”
than was ever done before.

Surely none expect a cook oy any other kind of man to be satisfied
with earning an average salary of $100 per month. Any man who is ©
satisfied with that has no ambition, and a man without ambition is”
no good. Lots of fellows are not satisfied, but they know they can’t —
go any farther, simply stay in the business long enough to get money
to go into something else, and those are the fellows we cannot —
to lose.

Of course, my ideas of mceney are not to bring a man up to your %
camps to show you where you ought to put up an electric plant
cold storage, and a $200 machine to wash the dishes, and dido to peel ,
the spuds, and still keep the same men on the same jobs to run the
respective electric machines. These things are awfully nice to ha
but unless you know just when they are going to pay for themsely
and how much money they are going to save you afterward, you
not want them. Remember, experiment is closely related to failure,
and is your best friend.

In most logging camps such things are out of the question alto-
gether. In mills where they develop their own electric power, it is
and can be used effectively for some things. Of course, conditions
are so very different in each place that each has to work out his own
problems to get the highest point of efficiency.

ding house I would not give such a man a job of any kind. He
one good quality I know of: he was always on the job. Of course,
manager knew, but I guess what he liked particularly was that
not know any more than the manager.

The place itself was modern in every respect. They were board-

15 years behind the times. The manager never was a cook

1ey had a lot of complaints about the pies. It was a min-
‘house, and to show their contempt, the men would take
ut of their lunch baskets and throw them in a pile at the
the mine, a very annoying thing for the manager. He
ount the matter, and I told him to tell the baker to save
e fruit, boil it with a little starch, and he had no more

baker used to strain away and waste all the juice—

a day—over $5, or $150 a month—dquite a saving. And

on the plates, and the chef and the meat cutter had lots

fabs into the other to get him fired to his own and the man-

nice, but quite below zero for making too many. sug-

taurant and order a steak two or three times as large as he knows he ~~
wants to eat, when maybe two blocks away there are people who By
would be glad to get a soup bone, if they could only afford it. 4

I could continue with a hundred examples of this sort, but my
article is already getting far bigger than I intended, and I don’t want
my readers to think I am trying to write a cook book.

If I ever get the time to write another article on this subject, I
shall explain how to eliminate waste almost entirely by up-to-date
methods. Every part of the meat, even to the skin of a pig, can be
used effectively. Many things are wasted in the camps by neglect
and incompetence, which could be made into exactly the same things
bought at groceries at fancy prices, with very little additional effort.

There are lots of good cooks working in the Pacific Northwest;
if they were co-operated. with a little and given more opportunity,
you would be surprised at the results. Any company employing 200
or more men can afford, and should keep, an efficient manager of the
boarding house, with no other duties, and he will earn his salary
many times over. Some firms have been trying this out and have
found it very effective. ,

The average working man is willing to pay the price for a good -
meal and the getting of it, but he hates to pay for something he does.
not get. The thing has been argued up and down, but [knowin many ~—
cases where he pays the biggest macy he is losing out by reason of ~
inefficient management.

Better Conditions in B.C. Industry hi Pe

Editor Canada Lumberman:— Vancouver, B.C. x
The lumber situation this spring in British Columbia shows an immense — EB
improvement over this time last year, chiefly through the heavy demand from — .

the prairie provinces. There is also a good demand for our products in i
Ontario and Quebec. The shingle branch of the business is especially

active at good prices, and, with the increasing cost of metals and the raw ¥
materials for patent roofing, shingles will likely be in still greater demand.

Another feature of the situation is the good volume of lumber being 2
shipped from this province to the United States, which is a much better a
situation than that prevailing in past years, where western Canada imported ies
heavily from across the line-——Timms, Phillips & Company, Limited. tris re

Timber ‘Rafts for Overseas

A novel method of getting need-
ed timber and lumber overseas
without using up shipping so
urgently needed for other pur-
poses, has been suggested by Cap-
tain A. G. Midford, Ottawa. His
plan is to tow it across in the
form of huge timber rafts and he
states that from one to twenty
million feet of timber can be taken
over at once. His suggestion has
received commendation both in
‘Canada and in Great Britain and
it is most probable that the sug-

gestion may be productive of
| y practical results.

The Timber Trades Journal re-
fers to the suggestion as follows:
F “The difficulty of all nations, bel-
_ ligerent and neutral, is the scar-
city of tonnage. Although this is
_ in a great part due to the large

number gt mercantile ships en-

gaged > carrying supplies for

. > wat. Pisce. so great must be
the wastage that, notwithstanding

the releasing of a large amount

_ of tonnage at the close of hostili-

- ties and the continued building
_ of new vessels, ships will be in
- greater demand after’ the war
than now.

=
a

rane

_ “The best way to economize in
the matter of ships is to do with-
out them altogether and though

this is impossible, at least at pre-
sent, for the transport of certain
: classes of goods from overseas,
a __we are pleased to hear that as re-
__ gards the transport of timber it is
¥ not only possible but likely to be
____ brought about by sheer necessity.
We have been favored with a copy
Sof a letter received by the Tim-
ber Trade Federation from A. G.
____Midford, of Ottawa, a civil engi-
____neer, who has had a life of experi-
ence in executing marine work of
magnitude and in solving mari-

time problems. He also holds a

_ master’s certificate and is well
known throughout Canada, the
3 United States and South America.

“Captain Midford’s object is to
construct a ship-shape raft of tim-
ber and lumber in such a manner
as to provide against the inces-
sant and usual strain to which
any floating body or ship is ex-
- posed and must encounter in
meeting the vicissitudes of a
_ stormy sea. The ship-shaped
Bc is to be built entirely of mer-

y Si and therefore depends en-
- tirely upon buoyancy and not on
; displacement in the ordinary ac-
_ ceptance of the technical mean-

he The ever-changing strain

i without which any floating
would go to pieces in a

ation to x the ee

sidered, including the cause and
prevention of the snapping of the
tow-line and the ship-raft will be
steered from the after-deck of the
towing vessel. Sea rafts of the
type suggested may be made up
entirely of marketable timber and
lumber and no lumber need be
cut or bored for constructive pur-
poses. The entire outside layer
could be composed of s!abs which
have no marketable value in Can-
ada but would be useful in Eng-
land.

“This is an outline of Captain
Midford’s project. If he can make
it successful he will be doing a
service to humanity, for the ships
can thus be relieved of wood car-
goes for more pressing services.”

Promissory Notes in Wood

The lumber manufacturers of
the United States have adopted
a new motto for their plants.
“Make Every Board a Promis-
sory Note.” This motto is the
outgrowth of a new movement
which is spreading with amazing
rapidity to every lumber manufac-
turing district in the United
States, in a national campaign to
standardize lumber, to adopt spe-
cific grades for lumber, which will
guarantee the quality of every
piece of lumber put out by a saw
mill, says a bulletin issued by the
National Lumber Manufacturers’
Association.

The devising of trade marks is
going hand in hand with the new
movement and is part of it. Near-
ly every lumber manufacturing
organization in America today
either has decided upon a trade-
mark for lumber, or is consider-
ing such a movement.

The trademarking of lumber
has developed through a demand
by builders and architects in all
parts of the country for some
standard which would assure
their clients that the character of
a building under erection would
be in accordance with specifica-
tions, and that the timbers would
be equal to the heaviest demands
upon them. When every board is
a promissory note, an architect
can specify the quality of lumber
he wants in a building, and can
know instantly from the trade-
mark whether the lumber pro-
vided is that which he asked in
his specifications.

If one keeps an eye on the ma-
terial used now in the implement
and other kindred lines, it will be
noted that maple is used in place
of ash for many purposes, and
pecan takes the place of hickory.
Red oak, after steaming, looks a
good deal like white oak, and will
probably last as long in many
places, being usually worn out be-
fore it has a chance to rot out or
break. “Things are seldom what
they seem; skim milk masquer-
ades as cream.”

Ontario

The retail lumber trade in Ontario is not showing much in the
way of activity. Wholesalers report that enquiries from retail yards
are not so plentiful as they were a few weeks ago. In Eastern
Ontario, the trade has settled down to a very small volume and towns
which were fairly active a few weeks ago are now very quiet. Brock-
ville, for instance, was very busy for a while, but its local trade has
now dwindled. In fact most of the centres in Eastern Ontario and
many of those in the west report that there is very little stock mov-
ing. This is chiefly on account of the situation in which the farmers
find themselves on account of the backward spring. Not having been
able to get on his land anything like as early as usual, the farmer has
been playing safe. The general situation with the farmer is somewhat
doubtful, comparatively speaking, this year, and he is not now to be
counted upon as a strong factor in creating a good demand. Ina
few of the centres of south-western Ontario trade is active, chiefly
on account of the manufacturing demand, but even there it is spotty;
that is to say, it will be good for a few days and then become quiet
again. Hemlock continues quiet and the probability is that it will
remain fairly steady because the production this year shows a con-
siderable falling off.

The present indications of good weather are helping the general
trade to some extent and are likely to bring out a fair amount of
repair work throughout the country districts.

The hardwood trade in Ontario continues on an active and firm
There is a steady demand for the good end of hardwood stocks,
but dry stocks are very scarce. A month ago, number three common
stocks looked as though they might become a drag, but they have
been moving well and now there is very little number three common

‘left. Conditions generally are characterized by a scarcity of dry

stocks, and purchasers are showing a little hesitation about purchas-
ing new stocks. Asa whole, the hardwood trade is good.

Eastern Canada

There has been a slight improvement in the local market at St.
John, N.B., but the export trade both with the United Kingdom and
the United States, is very quiet. Sales of deals, etc., for export are
rare. -Nearly all cuts of deals for this season, however, have been
sold, what remains being a small quantity of portable mill stock
which is rather difficult to dispose of. The tonnage scarcity at St.
John continues with practically no sign of improvement. The Ameri-
can market is less firm than it was a fortnight ago. Schedule prices
are at about $27 base. There is less demand also for spruce boards
in the American market. A fairly good demand is reported for lath,
but coastwise freights are very heavy and are eating up a big portion
of the price. Shingles show a slight improvement and are about 10c.
per M. better than they were a year ago, but freight rates in this case
also are a serious matter. Spring drives on the St. John River have
not made as good headway as was hoped for at first. The weather
has been dry and water has fallen rapidly, so that a number of import-
ant operations and drives have been held up.

At Montreal there is also some improvement in the local trade,
especially in the demand for hardwoods. Building activity is very
light. There is a fair demand from the United States markets.

Reports from Boston indicate that prices of spruce are showing
The
demand, however, continues on a fairly extensive scale. Some whole-
salers are quoting $28 base on frames and some manufacturers have
reduced their base price to $27.50 when selling through commission
houses. Further concessions would be likely on anything in the way
of large business. Random is moving more freely than formerly

‘during the present year, some good orders having been placed lately,

and more being in sight. The present quotations for random range
about as follows: 2 x 3, 2 x 5, and 2 x 6. $21.50 to $22; 2 x 4, $22 to
$22.50; 2 x 8, $25 to $26; 2 x 10, $26.50: to. $27 ; 2 x 12, $27.50 to $28.
The demand for spruce boards at Boston is growing more satisfac-
tory all the time. The hemlock situation also is favorable, with a
good demand and signs of further np een as building operations
increase. Prices are steady.

Improvement is reported in the demand for shingles at Boston
and throughout the east. No good extra white cedars. are offered at
less than $3.50, and some brands are bringing $3.60. Clears are selling
at $3.20 to $3.30. Red cedar shingles are also doing well, but there
is a shortage of stocks. Some nice brands of extras have been bring-
ing $4. There is a good demand for lath, but production has increased
and prices are a little easier. For 15 in. the quotation is from $4.15
to $4.25, and 1% in. are bringing $3.90 to $4.00.

United States

Building operations in the United States continue to increase i
practically all important centres. During April there was an increa
of 16 per cent. in building permits in 71 cities. The reports receive
moreover, indicate a strong tendency to return to wood constructigll
‘Throughout New England the building activity of the past few montis 1
continues unabated and includes many factories of mill construe

In spite of improvement in the car supply situation, the fre
embargo in the east has become more acute and is a great handi
to shippers who supply buyers in New England and on the Atla
Coast. Embargoes have been placed on lumber shipments by seve
railroads, including the Pennsylvania, the New York, New Haven
Hartford, the New York Central, the Baltimore and Ohio, and
Erie railroads.

Better reports are being received from the southern pine distri
and it is thought that the flurry that was looking rather serious —
short time ago has passed by and that improvement is likely to de-
velop. Some of the larger manufacturers have begun to curtail p
duction. The improvement in the car supply has enabled mills to ree
ward shipments in greater volume and thus to reduce the amount oft
stock on hand.

Encouraging reports continue to come from the Pacific Coast
where the situation is stronger than it has been at any time ae
the past two years. The advances recently made in‘ir are maintained —
and the market has an upward tendency. There is an active demand —
for all Pacific Coast woods. The only unsatisfactory feature of the
trade is the scarcity of ocean transportation facilities. If there were
vessels available to-day, Pacific coast mills which don an export trade
could dispose of practically their full capacity at prices better than ©
they have received for some years. The re-opening of the Panama _
Canal has not as yet been of any particular benefit to west coast mills,
because of the scarcity of vessels. There is a good demand on the —
Atlantic coast for Pacific coast products, but extensive anes
cannot be made by water at present.

The hardwood trade is encouraging. Hardwoods are holding ae
commanding position in the trade. There has been a marked improve-_
ment in the demand for oak. Northern hardwoods continue to show
exceptional activity, although some of the mills have been having —
more than their share of labor troubles of late. Hemlock manufac- —
turers report an active demand, and stocks in shipping condition have
been badly broken, so that shippers are finding difficulty in filling the
requirements of the trade. “iz

Northern pine trade continues about normal, with prices steady. —
The yard trade is not extensive, but there is a fair demand from large
corporations in the important cities. Weather conditions have been —
rather against improvement in the country trade. At* Buffalo, the
demand for northern pine shows some improvement, though at times _
it is-still quite spotty. This is a result of backward weather. Far- —
mers generally are from two to three weeks behind in their spring» a
work. There is no great demand at Buffalo for white pine, but the —
trade is better than it was a year ago. : ’ ;

Great Britain . Si

In spite of the great increase in the value of wood reste from —
advanced freight rates, the consumption on the spot market at Lon- —
don is still extensive. There is not much disposition, however, on the
part of importers, to take an interest in forward business, as it is a
very difficult matter to sell at a fair profit on anything except hand-
to-mouth transactions. The requirements’ of the Government are
somewhat less numerous than formerly and, although they may be
expected to continue during the war to some extent, they. will not
keep the trade as busy as they have formerly. This year’s import is —
likely to be moderate, because of the scarcity of vessels, cost of war
risk, rates of exchange, and restrictions that have recently been im-—
posed. Importers, therefore, are inclined to allow producers to hold”
their stocks until they can be transported to England at a cost which |
will not be so great a burden to the consumer. The stock now o z
hand at London is reported to be equal to about two months’ con-—
sumption. The Board of Trade have given out an intimation that
they will restrict the import of planed, tongued and grooved boards, |
and matchings. Stocks of these goods in London, however, are plen- —
tiful to keep the trade going, for a fair time. ,

Imports of spruce into Liverpool during April showed a consid-
erable decrease, and the consumption also fell off, according to the
-figures that have been compiled. F. o. b. and c. i. f. selling has been
very quiet for Lower Ports spruce, but this quietness is expected to
be only of a temporary nature, as future offerings can hardly be any-
thing but light, and ready buyers are expected to be waiting for them.

More Vessels Available at Montreal

Montreal, May 27.—(Special to The Canada Lumberman).—A
small improvement is to be noted in local trade. With the building
business still quiet, it is not to be expected that the sales should show
any marked increase. The most active section is, relatively, hard-
woods, where the demand is still brisk, with a scarcity of dimension
descriptions.

There is an absence of notable building projects, if we except
a scheme for constructing a union station and a tunnel under the
St. Lawrence at a cost of 35 million dollars. This, however, is in
quite a preliminary stage. It has yet to go before the Railway Com-
mission, and the plans are only of a tentative character. The pro-
moters are seeking public support, not of a financial character, and
have many difficulties to overcome before the plan can be carried out.

Buying for the United States continues to be satisfactory. The
embargo on the Williams Line continues at the time of writing, but
there is a probability of its being raised shortly. The situation at
Albany has improved greatly, the congestion of cars being gradu-
ally relieved.

Quite unexpectedly the Government have released several steam-
ers, making a fair amount of tonnage available for the export lum-
her trade. In consequence, there has been a considerable increase
in the lumber exported from Montreal and from Three Rivers. This
is principally spruce, the demand for pine being rather slow. Rates
are again higher, 400s. having been paid, A. cheering item.of news
is contained in a cable from the other side announcing that the em-
bargo on birch timber has been raised, and it is expected that the
lifting of the prohibition on birch lumber will follow. The rates for
shipping the timber are very stiff. As much as 600s. per standard
has been paid, against a normal rate of 75s. The steamship com-
panies have issued a good list of sailings, but this does not neces-
sarily mean that much space will be at exporters’ service, as the
Government may commandeer boats at very short notice, and thus
upset exporters’ calculations.

Mail advices from England state that there is great confusion
over the Government orders prohibiting, except under license, the
importation of hardwoods and certain other commodities. The spe-
cial committee dealing with this matter is inundated with letters and
enquiries, and considerable uncertainty prevails as to the conditions
under which imports are allowed. In one instance, lumber products
were prohibited from landing, and in a few days the embargo was
removed, causing great delay; in the landing of these goods.

The sulphite market is in a buoyant condition, with prices still
higher. Stocks in the United States are very low, the prospect being
that little European pulp will be imported for some time. A large
amount of Canadian pulp has just been shipped to the United King-
dom, where there is a scarcity. Mechanical pulp is also firmer, con-

siderable stocks having been absorbed.

Deal Shipments from Parrsboro, N. S.

Parrsboro, N.S., May 25.—Owing to the remarkable scarcity of
tonnage, the deal shipments from this port up to the present are much
smaller than in other years. Only one schooner and one small
steamer have yet sailed—the two carrying about two million feet. As
a result of abnormal freight rates and scarcity of bottoms, an Ameri-
can schooner fifty-one years old, and of only 199 tons register, is now
loading here. This is the, smallest, as well as the oldest vessel that
has ever loaded deals at this port for overseas. Another schooner, of
larger dimensions and fewer years, has just finished loading, and two
other schooners are partly loaded. One of the latter took four deal
cargoes across last season. A large steamer under orders from the
Imperial Government arrived here this week for a cargo of deals. She
will take upwards of four million feet. Several other vessels are under
charter to load here, and the prospects are that the deal business will

of a year ago and seems likely to continue. Prices are still firm and

high. The hardwood trade at Liverpool continues quiet. There are
a fair number of enquiries for special lines, but difficulties in making

delivery are a handicap. Stocks of hardwoods are not large. The pro-
hibition of certain hardwood imports is preventing stocks from in-—
creasing. There is practically no forward business in hardwoods at
Liverpool. There is a fair enquiry at Manchester for hardwoods, es-
pecially for 2% in. and 1% in. planking in anything but oak. Maple
flooring is in fair demand and stocks are limited. Birch is sought for

satisfactory prices.

be fairly brisk during the remainder of the season. Préigte rates a
ranging in the vicinity of four hundred shillings per standard, or about —
ten times the normal rate, and it is thought they have about reached
the limit. :
The demand for tonnage seems to increase with the efforts made!
to supply it, and will probably lead to the construction of more ves-
sels than the builders originally intended. The shipbuilders in this —
vicinity can, if they wish, sell the vessels now under construction at _
prices that would afford a handsome profit on the estimated cost ‘oR 4
building. For instance, one shipbuilder has been offered $50,000: for
a vessel which he estimates will cost $35,000. No wonder the
builders are looking for more frames.
Ten fine spars of Douglas fir arrived here last week from Statler
for G. M. Cochrane, of Port Greville. They are ninety feet long
and from 22 to 24 inches in diameter, The freight bill was eleven
hundred dollars. By the way, why do our builders have to go across
the border to get the timber they require? Are there no big trees
left in British Columbia? : =p

St. John Markets—Better Local Trade —
St. John, N.B., May 26.—(Special to The Canada i heboeeeae ee
During the past ten days the local market in the building trade has. :
shown. some improvement. While this is so, it cannot be said that the ~
English and American export businéss has followed the same ‘upward
trend ; in fact, very little business is being transacted and sales of deals,
etc., are few and far between. Of course, practically all the cuts of —
deals for this season have been sold, therefore only a small quantity
of portable mill stock remains to be marketed. Persons having such
stock to offer are finding trouble to dispose of it, as the deal buyers
do not seem disposed to load up with any more stock, claiming they
can get no tonnage at any price, also that the risk is too great, the
freights being so “high—ten times over the usual price. Only ae:
firms in Great Britain are able to purchase and it is expected before
long that conditions will show a great change. Therefore, we can-
not quote a market price to-day. The American market is not quite
so firm as it was two weeks ago, and any excess of stock which might
be dumped there, would be felt severely, and no doubt cause a slump.
In some sections the railway embargo still holds, but in the majority
of towns it has been raised. Of course, where concerns are not clear- —
ing their tracks when the stock accumulates, a ban is being put upon 3
them and no stock can be cleared for their yards until their sidings _
are cleaned up. Taken as a whole, the American market is very dis- —
appointing, and those parties who predicted a good year and said the —
market was very firm were the first to concede prices. Schedule —
prices have dropped to $27.00 base, which is one dollar less than two”
weeks ago. The American spruce board market is also in the same
condition as dimension, gradually easing away. Of course, every
year, after all the mills get in motion in Maine and elsewhere, it is a
usual thing for the U. S. market to recede, and this Tae is evidently .
no different from the past. Pi
Laths are fairly firm, but the very bases coastwise freights ai *
eating up the big end of the price: As high as $1.25 per M. has been
offered for vessels from St. John, a usual high figure being 80c. per

Shingles are about 10c. per M. better in price than a year ago, é
but freights again enter into the question and eat up the extra price. —

Locally, the market is better. No great amount of large building ©
is being done, but a great deal of repair work is being carried on and
factories are all very busy. Refuse lumber prices remain about the
same as a year ago, but probably, with an accumulation and wil h
mills running, prices will decline. “

Liverpool Market Reports

market report under date of May Ist, say :—
Spruce deals.—Operations have been less active, but values con-
Rf tinue firm. First-hand stocks are light and the difficulty of renewing
supplies is even more accentuated than it was. The freight problem
is becoming more and more difficult of solution, and it is questionable
now whether there will be sufficient tonnage available for the freight-
_ ing of the season’s requirements.
: Douglas fir—The small quantities that have arrived per liners for
- delivery against contracts have passed readily into consumption and
the market stands practically bare of supplies. There is no freight
room obtainable at the present from the Pacific Coast and the pros-
pects of relief in this direction are not promising.
Flooring boards have arrived rather freely and chiefly against

: contracts. The enquiry has been somewhat languid, but the stocks
. are being held firmly.

endar consisted of a large photograph about 10 in. x 19 in., showing
a beautiful group of Sitka spruce trees. The photograph was hand-
somely mounted and a calendar pad of practical size was attached
beneath. This calendar had a wide distribution and its beauty brought
forth many expressions of well-merited praise. Nearly all of those
who wrote to the company stated that the calendar had been given
the place of honor in their private offices. ater!

3 Scar 4 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER June 1,

In order to keep abreast of the times and to make sure that their
business will not only hold its own, but make reasonable progress,
it is necessary for retail lumbermen to give a good deal of their atten-
tion to the problem of trade extension. At a recent convention of re-
tailers this question was discussed at considerable length by Mr. H. S.
Sackett, of Chicago. While Mr. Saskett’s remarks relate to condi-
tions existing across the line, many of his points apply forcibly in
connection with the retail trade in Canada. Some of the ideas brought
out in the course of his address were as follows :—

For a number of months I have lived in an atmoshere of trade
extension. I have heard it discussed by manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers. I am thoroughly saturated with it. Some time ago I
began to wonder what it was all about, why the lumbermen all of a
sudden were interested in such forms of publicity as newspaper and
magazine advertising; in moving picture films; in talking frankly
about their products to architects and engineers; in asking the public
to come and see their wares at expositions and building shows, and
I began to analyze the situation—and what did I find? I found simply
this: That the lumbermen away back in the early days were abso-
lutely alone in the building material field—there were no competitors ;
that for many years this condition of affairs obtained; that a few years
ago two important things happened, namely, competitors of wood
came into existence, and the era of advertising began; that these two
got together and hit wood such a tremendous blow that some of the
lumber manufacturers have not even yet awakened to a realization
of what happened. ;

It’s all very simple, isn’t it? But why were the lumbermen, if
they were good business men, so slow to realize what was going on?
I must confess that for a time I could not understand it, but now I
think I have the answer. It was for two reasons. In the first place,
wood’s competitors got busy. when business was good and prices were
high, and by efficient manufacturing and merchandising methods, and
an effective advertising campaign, they attained an enormous growth
in an extremely short time. In other words, they got in before the
lumbermen realized what was going on.

The other reason for their success is a psychological one. To
show you what I mean I want to compare for a moment the steel
business and the lumber business. In the case of the former, nature
put the iron and the coal deep down in the ground, and it was neces-
sary for the steel men to dig for it, and after they got it to the surface
of the ground, to get the two materials together by means of, trans-
portation. It is thus seen that they had difficulties in getting their
raw materials together. But what of the lumbermen? Nature planted
the trees on top of the ground and scattered them all over North
America. There was no difficulty in securing raw material at almost
any point where it was wanted.

And how about the manufacturing part? Here again the steel
men had great difficulties. The manufacture of their product is a
difficult and costly one, requiring large investments of capital for
plants; but this is not true of the lumber industry. Certainly a very
small sum is involved for a plant in comparison with the steel plants,
and ‘so here again the lumbermen have had a big advantage.

How Advertising Creates a Market

And how about the merchandising methods? The steel men with
a high priced product, and with a comparatively undeveloped market
for it, were obliged to advertise widely, to spend large sums in so
doing, to employ high salaried salesmen, to build laboratories with
which to experiment. But how about the lumbermen? They had no
such problem. The public for years had used wood and knew all about
it, or thought they did. Their market was already prepared. They
had to spend no money in advertising, nor in the employment of high
salaried men. And so it has been all through the two industries, diffi-
culties on the one hand, and comparative ease on the other, and what
is the result? The men of one industry are trained to cost account-
ing; to the minutest details of management; they are taught, if you
please, to think in terms of the fraction of a penny; while those of the
lumber industry accustomed to big margins, and having lived with-
out the necessity of strict economy, are easy going, untrained in sys-
tem, or cost accounting, and are thinkers in the dollar fraction instead
of the penny. If $27.50 is too high a price, the next is not $27.49, or
$27.45, as the steel man would say, but $27.25, or an even $27.00. What
is true of the steel industry is also true of the cement industry, and
the others competing with wood, and that is why, in my judgment,
the lumbermen have been so slow in awakening to the situation, and
is why we are hearing so much nowadays of trade extension in the
lumber industry.

Mr. Sackett then explained the work of the trade extension de
partment of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, poin
ing out the ways in which it is prepared to assist retailers in develo;
ing their trade. Continuing he said :— a
The trend of modern business methods is towards publicity, a
this publicity in a large measure takes the form of direct advertisit
If your public doesn’t know who, nor what, nor where you a
nor what you can do for them, you will not profit. You m ist
them know these things; you must make them know. In a word, 3
must advertise. Some dealers complain that the mail order hous
injuring their business; they’say that people in their territory
bills shipped in before the dealer even knows that a building |
templated, and why? Simply because the mail order house
tised, and the mail order house’s advertising was better than y
when you did advertise. It had to be, for it had to counteract
reputation for square dealing, your service, the power of your pres
your personal argument, your extension of credit, the quality of y
materials—that is, provided you had all these things. And more
this, the mail order house kept right on after your customers, -
for a day, or a week, or a month, but for years. The general manage
of one of the largest mail order houses in the country said last ea
that they often followed up a prospect for three years, but fir
landed him. Do you ever do that yourself? And still more,
houses keep on suggesting new comforts, new conveniences, new
for their materials, until by force of repetition the prospect becomes
active customer for that article—people whose name he naturally con-
nects with the thing that he wants? a

The Use of Local Papers erry

You should unquestionably advertise in your local papers. | This
advertisement should be educational, rather than the mere statement
that you have lumber to sell and can make prompt deliveries. Thi
desirability of wooden structures should be carefully pointed out
should be followed by specific suggestions as to the kind of mate
to select, and how to use it to the best advantage. This makes ij
necessary for you to be an information bureau, but it will well pay you
to know more about lumber products than anyone else in your com
munity. This educational publicity should be supplemented by
ture on the different woods, which is easily obtainable from he
ous manufacturing associations. — ae

There has been a great waste in the past and a failure to get
most out of available literature, because of the poor display or Iz
of distribution. You should have in your office an attractive rack
which the more important lumber literature is displayed.
make it available to callers, and also serve as a reference
good plan is to send out notices from time to time to the
stating the literature which is available in your office, or whic
be sent upon request. You should notify your customers from
to time that you have a good reference library on farm s ures:
is at the service of any who may be interested. a

The proper handling of lumber consumers in any ¢
means a systematic listing of names, and a follow-up systen
best plan is usually to install a simple card system, giving
and addresses, and noting on the cards the needs and
of the different individuals as ascertained, and the time of
purchase. For example, if you find that a farmer in your c
is contemplating building a new barn next spring, or a new
should be noted, and should be followed up by letters and
on the subject. A constant stimulation of interest is ry,
by circular letters, by envelope inserts or the distribution of literatu

You should have displayed in your office attractive san
woods that you have for sale. You should show them in t
and in a surfaced condition; you should show sampfes of m
of casing, of base boards, of interior finish, panels, and all
products of wood that you have to offer. You should fix th
so neatly and attractively that the man who is going to build a
would come to your office, and look over your commodities in j
the same way that he goes to the dry goods store and looks over th
goods before he buys. ; as

It would be an excellent plan from time to time for groups
dealers in the larger towns and cities to get together, and have <
dinner and invite your architect and engineer friends to come anc
talk to you about their problems. : ;

out what the changes are going to be; ascertain if anything detrimental

to the use of wood is proposed; write the trade extension department

: what is going on, so that we may have an opportunity of sending one

of our special representatives to help you, if help is needed. In this

| connection we are now working on a standard building code for towns
and cities of various sizes, all of which information will be at your
service.

Take an interest in the question of fire protection; keep in touch
with your building commissions and city councils; show them that
you are as much interested in safe building construction as any other
good citizen, or as the manufacturer of non-combustible materials ;
make it clear to them that it is not the use of wood, but its unsafe use

that contributes to the fire danger. Keep your business before the
. public, and above all, keep plenty of news concerning the lumber
industry in your local papers.

Who Is Your Competitor?

And now in closing, may I say just a word to you about com-
petition? When you speak of “competition” or your “competitor,”
just what do you mean? Your only competitor can be that merchant
in your own industry, in your own distributing territory, who has the
same stock, the same knowledge, the same energy and financial

Tavs strength as you have. If there is any difference in any of these ele-
ments, then the balance of trade will sway towards the better equip-
ped, and true competition will cease. Let me illustrate: Suppose we

, have a town with three yards. If you are only a “material” man, the
only competition you will have will be with the other “material” man.

- If, however, you add to your equipment, a knowledge of your materi-

als and their uses, you rise above the “material man’s” competition,

and your only competition will then come from someone equally well
equipped. The higher you rise the smaller becomes your field of
competition and the greater your chances to secure the trade, and that

rise in the scale depends entirely and absolutely on each one of you
individually. One retail lumberman said not long ago that he was
going to stop talking “service” because he didn’t see where it did him

“4 any good. It didn’t—simply because that was just exactly what he

$ did—talk service. He didn’t give service. Service, adequate service,
is your only hope of salvation.

Every Branch of the Industry Must Co-operate

Above all, you should co-operate with every branch of the in-
dustry. Remember, that the owner of the primary raw material is
the first link in the chain, the last link being the yard clerk who re-
ceipts to the ultimate consumer for the last payment on the little
home, and each link depends on every other. It takes the combined

--action of every branch of the industry to complete the sale on which

' the livelihood and prosperity of all and each depends. A sale is
never made to the people but to the individual, and as that sale is the
exchange of money for a board cut by the logger, surfaced by the
manufacturer, stored by the wholesaler, and delivered by the retailer,
it follows that each is a necessary and interested link in the sales chain.
The logger is just as much interested in the way you meet a customer
as you are in the way he cuts his trees. The manufacturer is just
as much interested in the care your yard man gives to the stocks as
you are in the way those boards are made, graded and shipped.

Strain on any link weakens the entire chain, and failure of any
branch to co-operate fully and properly with the others for the real

object of all—the sale to the ultimate consumer—jeopardizes the
business welfare of everyone connected with the industry. And ac-
cordingly everyone should be interested in seeing that the others do
their proper share in the whole work. Lack of real co-operation, to
_-put it in the mildest way, is just plain “bad business.”

oT More Canadian Forestry Battalions Wanted
Y An Ottawa despatch under date of May 28th, states that the War
foal Office has called for another Canadian Forestry Battalion of 1,500
% men. The 224th Battalion, under command of Lt.-Col. Alex. McDou-
Ss gall, has done such excellent work in England and Scotland in aiding
; the naval and shipbuilding industries that a second battalion of this
~ nature has been authorized at the request of the British authorities
and recruiting will begin immediately in the lumbering districts. Lt.-
Col. J. B. White, of Montreal, formerly of the Riordon Pulp and
Paper Company, who is now with the 224th Overseas Battalion, has
been recalled to organize and command the new regiment. A third
Battalion is also to be raised, with Lieut.-Col. W. R. Smyth, M.P.P.
for Algoma, in command. This Battalion will be raised in Ontario.

it. The thickness of the paper around mandrel and the contraction
of the soft metal when cooled, will serve to relieve the journal from
being pinched by the babbitt metal, which is liable to occurr when
the metal is poured dircetly around the journal.

Two thin pieces of wood liners, one for each side of the box,
should also be prepared, and they should be about the thickness of

1 the permanent liners to be used. One edge of these wooden liners
should be notched, to allow the metal, when poured from above, to
’ fill the lower box. These liners are placed between the cap and bot-
tom half of box, with shaft in a central position, and the parts of the
box clamped together. In case the box is secured together by means
of bolts, the outer edges of the liners are slotted to fit the bolts. Small
wooden blocks, cut tapering, are placed in each end of box to main-
tain the shaft in a central. position. The box is placed horizontally
in a vise and the shaft centered by means of calipers, the shaft being
moved by moving the wedges in or out as needed. After the shatt
is correctly located, the ends of the box are stopped by means of
- putty, or other convenient method which will prevent the metal from
flowing out; a putty funnel is also built up about the hole into which

the hot babbit is to be poured.

The babbitt is heated in any convenient way until it is fluid. Care
should be taken that it does not get too hot, or its efficiency will be
diminished. A good way of testing is to dip a soft pine stick in the

~~ metal; when hot enough to char it the proper temperature is reached.
‘Then pour into the box through the funnel, as rapidly as possible, as
the metal quickly sets, and if this occurs the box is spoiled and must

be cleaned and repoured. After the metal has set, the spur in the
funnel is broken from the cap, the cap removed from lower part of

a box and the shafting removed. The babbitt should have formed a
Ai reasonably smooth surface and be free from cold shots. | In cold

weather it is sometimes advisable to warm the shaft used as a mandrel.

When cap and box are poured separately, the melted babbitt
metal is usually poured into one side of bearing and rises along the
other side until the cavity is full. When pouring a bearing of this
a character move the ladle from one end of the bearing to the other,
-* causing the stream to traverse along the slot, thereby keeping the
babbitt at approximately the same temperature in all parts of bearing.
When two ladles are used to pour from it will be sufficient to pour
into diagonally opposite corners of bearing, and if both streams be
poured quickly, the cavity will be filled before the metal becomes too
cold to flow to the corners. Oil channels may be formed in the lining
by means of a small, hard, spun cord, wound around the mandrel in
the direction the shaft is to run. The cord should be rubbed smooth
with putty before being placed upon the mandrel.

It was stated above that the temperature of the alloy, when
_ poured, should bé just high enough to slightly char a soft wood stick.
‘ This-is a general rule, and by following it the millwright will not go
far astray on ordinary work, but there are exceptions. When thin,
solid boxes must be poured. and there is-a long, narrow, or thin space
_ to be filled with.soft metal, it is sometimes necessary to pour the metal
Ly, hotter than described. In such cases, the metals to come in contact
is with the soft metal should always be heated as much as possible
- — before pouring in the lining. When a ladleful of metal fails to fill a
box, and another ladleful is not at hand, do not try to fill the box by
- pouring hot metal on top of the cold, for it is very seldom that such
a course results in a satisfactory bearing. Hot babbit will not unite
with or weld itself to cold babbitt by simply pouring one on top of
the other. Therefore, should a man fail to fill a bearing when pouring
' in the lining, it is decidedly the best practice to take down and chip
ef out the partially-filled bearing, then set up again and pour a supply
’ sufficient to fill the bearing.
tx When babbitt or other lining metal is poured into a cold casting,
A the lining becomes chilled before the iron casting becomes heated,
therefore when the soft lining finally cools it shrinks away from the
casting and becomes loose. Heating the box before pouring in the
-- soft metal lining will prevent this looseness, as the iron casting then
shrinks with the soft metal lining on cooling, and holds it fast when
cold. One way of fastening a lining tightly into a cold casting is by
using one of the antimony alloys, as the lining antimony, when al-
- loyed with lead and with some other soft metals, loses the power of
-- » shrinking during the freezing process, and, like water, expands and
fills the casting so tightly that there is no rattle or looseness. There-
, fore, when forced to line a cold bearing, use an antimony aHoy.
aan In order to obtain a good and reliable journal bearing the babbitt
' should, after cooling, be scraped and accurately fitted to the journal.
For this work the mandrel previously referred to, which has been
turned to the same size as the shaft, is now covered with ultramarine,
placed in the lower half of the box and revolved. Upon removing it
- the high spots in the babbitt will be plainly marked. There may be
only two or three spots so marked at the first trial, but these indi-
cate that the shaft touches the bearing only at those spots. The
metal should be removed at these spots by scraping, after’ which the
' mandrel should again be placed in bearing and revolved. This time
te. the shaft may touch in four or five places, as indicated by the mark-

, ‘ ba
assumed that the job is completed. Plumbago or red lead, mi coal
with oil, may be used on the mandrel for the marking, in the absence
of the ultramarine, and the mandrel should be rubbed with it each
time is it tried in the bearing.—J. H. B., in The Woodworker, In-
dianapolis. y

Advertising Ideas for Retailers

Individuality Essential to Good Results—Co-operation with
Others Interested in Community Development

The subject of advertising has attracted a great deal of attention
-among lumber manufacturers in the United States during the past few
years and important developments are being announced frequently,
showing that manufacturers of lumber are continually increasing their
appreciation of the importance of approaching the consumer through
advertising as directly as possible. While this movement has not
definitely extended to the Canadian industry, we expect that it will
do so in the course of time, possibly in the quite near future, but even
though Canadian manufacturers are not definitely advertising the
chief lines of Canadian lumber in more than one or two cases, the
advertising which is being carried on in the United States is being
read by Canadian people in the big United States magazines, and manu-
facturers in Canada are finding out indirectly the effect of this means
of promoting trade. '

While the manufacturer has gone into the advertising business
in the United States in a very large way, the average retailer has
not by any means realized what he can do by means of advertising
to improve his business. This applies also to the retailer in Canada.
Recently we came across an interesting discussion of retail lumber
advertising, written by Mr. J. B. Powell, instructor in advertising at
the University of Missouri, and published in the St. Louis Lumber-
man. Asa rule one expects a surplus of theory and not much in the
way of practical stuff from a university instructor. In this case, how-
ever, the practical over-rides the theoretical so much that one would
think that Mr. Powell was actually a successful retail lumberman,
whose success had been built up by advertising. Some of Mr. Powell’s
ideas we are pleased to reproduce as follows :—

It has been the writer’s pleasure, Mr. Powell says, to assist in

a minor way in some of these recent advertising discussions, and as
a result some dozens of letters from lumber retailers have been re-
ceived in the last few months.
“We believe in advertising in our local papers, but how in the
thunder are we going to do it and get our money’s worth,” some of
the letters ask. Several of the letters said: “We have asked the local
editor about it and, outside of the statement that ‘It pays to advertise,’
he seems to be as devoid of information on this subject as we are.”

So how is a retail lumberman going to advertise? is the burning
question. And we will answer this question by saying that it is just
as difficult to outline a plan that would apply to all retail lumber
dealers as it would be to outline a blanket plan of courtship that
would be equally effective with college girls and militant suffragettes.

The lumber yard in the country town of 600 persons can adver-
tise that it supplies house plans free, but this would play hob in a
city of 50,000 people with half a dozen local architects on the job.

Forced Into a Price Competitive Existence

Many owners of lumber yards have felt that since most of their
business comes from local architects and contractors, advertising to
consumers is unnecessary. To state it in another way, they have per-
mitted the contractors to force the lumber yards into a mere price
competition existence. Before this impression gets any further my
suggestion would be that the lumber retailer who makes himself
solid with the consumer need not fear either contractor or architect,
for the consumer is the man who is spending the money and has the
right to say where the lumber comes from and what kind.

The lumber yard in a “tenant” farm community has a different
problem from the yard in a farm or home-owned community. The
yard in a tenant community should direct its advertising in the local
newspaper to the owner of the land, telling him that better houses
and barns make better tenants. This will have a wholesome effect
upon the tenant in making him desire better things. Trust him to
express his desires. Y

The yard in a “home-owned” community has but to create a loca
pride for good homes in its advertising, and this is comparatively easy.
Automobile salesmen and manufacturers know that “pride and emula-
tion” sell more cars than any other appeal. Prove this yourself by
glancing through any magazine, and note the pictures of cars amid
scenes of elegance and luxury. :

The lumber retailer in a community that has the mail-order bee
has still “something yet again” to consider. His problem is distinct
and vital.

No Such Thing as a Blanket Ad.

With all these problems in mind we can see how difficult—yes,
almost impossible it is, for anybody to prepare a blanket ad that every
retailer in any one State even could use to advantage.

Since this article is not intended to exhaust the subject, I trust
the header will indulge me for rambling all over the subject. So here
is another idea. ; ‘

Bankers all over the country have been pushing the thrift idea.
Why doesn’t this offer wonderful possibilities for local co-operative

advertising on the part of lumber firms, banks, real estate men, build
ing and loan associations? Here’s an opportunity for communit
development that is worth while. It should not be difficult for
reader to imagine the results of an extensive, well-prepared campaig:
of co-operative advertising on the part of banks, real estate men, bui \d.
ing and loan societies and lumber dealers. If properly handled thi
would be real community advertising with a money-back guaran re
for the persons who conducted it, and for the good of the whole con
munity. E
_ But back to the advertising problems of retail lumber deale
First we must admit that no blanket plan of advertising will fit ;
places. This makes the problem more difficult, but if the proper m
of common or horse sense are followed advertising for a lumber de
is no more difficult than advertising for a drygoods or hardware st
And it can be made just as effective. >

Use a Camera for Pictures to Illustrate Ads. ty -
; ¥

__ In these days when everybody owns a camera it should
difficult for every lumber yard proprietor to obtain pictures to i
his ads. If there is a shingle roof in the home community
given good service for a long period, why not get a picture o
write an ad on shingles that will be as “newsy” as the column
sonals from Homeburg Station. If George Smith builds a silo,
not take a picture of it and print it in the paper so that all the «
George Smiths and Browns, and Johnsons will want one, 00.
initial cost of the electros may seem high for one ad, but if the el
is good it can be also used in circulars, on letter-heads and on
for several years. Another thing to remember when ordering ele
is to send along to the engraver a sample of the newspaper that
“cut” is to be printed in. An electro for a newspaper will also sh
up well on higher grades of paper, but it will not always work e
other way. *

Another point to remember is that your ad is likely to be one of
many ads that are all competing for the reader’s attention. For ft
reason use plenty of white space in the ad, for this attracts attention
to your copy. This is especially true where the ad is “all type” and
without illustrations. aa

In selecting the type for an advertisement, it is wise to stick to
one type family, or at best not more than two different styles of type.
Every ad should bring out one important point and everything
should be subordinated. There should not be too many “display
lines. By display line is meant the heavy type that is used in t
head-lines. The purpose of a display line is the same as a sign-bo
at a cross road. If there is one board at the corner that tells direc
and distances the traveler can easily find his way, but if there are a
dozen sign-boards pointing in all directions, the poor traveler is su -e
to go astray. : aie)

_ Most of the rules for writing advertisements also apply to letter
writing and to the preparation of booklets and circulars. Every 1h
ber dealer should have a mailing list of the people in his commun
If this list is properly classified, it can be made a most valuable as
Country newspapers offer valuable help in the building of mailing lis
Every wedding should offer possibilities for the sale of lumber
well as furniture or kitchen utensils. A newspaper item telling «
unusual crop prospects should offer possibilities for the sale of lum-

ber for barns, granaries, silos, or sheds. The arrival of a new family
in the community offers lumber possibilities. If the lumber dealer
also handles side lines, or “substitutes,” in other words, these also
should be exploited. The lumberman who sells paint should remem-
ber that a great place to advertise it is on the walls and sides of his
own Office. . He ;

Why shouldn’t a man give his wife a hardwood floor as a Christ-
mas or wedding anniversary present? " “4

I recently saw an advertisement of a building and loan asso
tion that started out: “A man really does not begin to live until |
owns his own home.” Certainly it should be possible for the luml
retailer to “humanize” his business. The lumber dealer who encou
ages the people of his community to build better homes, barns
silos is more than a merchant; he is a public benefactor, for
homes make better citizens—and better citizens buy more |
than the other kind. ce

The aggressive educational campaign of the Canadian Fo estr
Association in the cause of forest conservation has been supplem
by a new issue called “A Matter of Opinion.” The booklet is an
tractive one and strikes at the subject of forest guarding from a un
angle. Seven characters are introduced—Settler, Camper, Ban
Railway Man, Power Engineer, Fire Ranger, and Tax Payer—e
telling his personal story of the need for living forests and the incr
ing menace of burned and wasted forests. The booklet makes «

Fan Wheels
For Handling Shavings

Each particular class of shavings, refuse
or sawdust, requires a special wheel.

Sturtevant PLANING MILL
ricds GEE EXHAUSTERS
are made with many different types of
wheels—one for each class of service.
We do not make just one wheel and re-
commend it for all conditions, but we

consider each case individually.

Why not talk it over with one of our
engineers?—or get catalog 185-C.

A Good Belt Saves Money

r | NHE money wasted in keeping a stretching belt taut amounts toa

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

LEVIATHAN and
ANACONDA have
been sold on a “make
good” basis for over
thirty years. If they
hadn’t made good we
would have been out
of business long ago.
The fact that our busi-
ness is progressing
rapidly is ample proof
of the merit of this
belting.

Why not give us a trial order and let LEVIATHAN or ANACONDA prove itself ?

|» Promote Friction
at the Bench - - !

Not mental — physical friction. Do not ask a

workman to turn out a good job with a poor file.

When a file reaches its ‘‘inefficient point,’’ it re-

duces physical friction but creates mental friction.

A man working with a poor file knows that he is
not doing his best, knows that he is taking twice, or
three times, as long to do the job and will surely

be irritated if he is called to account for the result.

It is cheaper to supply a new file than it is to have
a workman irritated for half an hour using an

old one.

q H ive your factory superintendent and shop formen
see that their men turn in their files for new ones,

the moment they reach their ‘‘inefficient point.”

FIRE BRICK

if it fails to give satisfaction. More likely than not you
have been using the wrong kind for your particular pur-
pose. A firebrick intended for use in a small hand-fired
boiler may not give the same result if used under high
-pressure boiler with mechanical stoker.

So when sending us your enquiries be sure to specify
for what purpose these brick are to be used.

You are sure then of a high quality brick, that is abso-
lutely the best for your purpose.

Arkansas Soft Pine

Action Denotes Grasp of Dealer Benefits
Derived from Selling a Superior Product
which is Nationally Advertised.

Circular Letter

as oS Faw ee I owa

TO YARD MANAGERS: oe
We are asking the Arkansas Soft Pine Bureau to send you a copy of their
Home Builders’ Book, together with a quantity of letter inserts to be used in con-
nection with any communication that you have occasion to mail to your customers.
While the plans shown in these books may or may not be such as will appeal to
your customers, we are convinced that the use of Arkansas Soft Pine can be in-
creased materially by our own efforts joined with those of the Arkansas Soft Pine
Bureau, and that our customers will receive material that cannot fail to please them.

It has been our custom in the past to buy Short Leaf lumber for our inch
stock, and in a large number of instances, we have bought the Arkansas Soft Pine.
We are more than ever favorably impressed with the Yellow Pine manufactured by
the mills in the Soft Pine district. Particularly is this wood fitted for interior trim,
for ceiling and flooring. The Bureau will furnish you, if you desire, a set of
framed panels showing the various kinds of finish that can be applied to Arkansas
Soft Pine.

In speaking of this wood to your customers, we suggest that you do not use
the words, “Yellow Pine,’’ as applying to it, but term it “Arkansas Soft Pine,”
which more fully expresses the character of the wood, as it is free from pitch, and
in many instances, has an appearance similar to the Northern White Pine, which
has always met with favor.

On your future orders for inch Southern Pine, particularly those containing
finish, flooring, and ceiling, we suggest that you indicate on the requisitions that
you prefer Arkansas Soft Pine. This will bring the matter to Mr. ’s
attention. If we are advocating the use of this wood, it will be necessary for us
to have some of it in stock. You perhaps will understand that the wood referred
to is a high type of Soft Yellow Pine. The term Arkansas Soft Pine is applied to
distinguish it from the Yellow Pine, that is shipped from the other districts in the
South. This particular Pine has some merits that the lumber from the other dis-
tricts does not have.

Yours truly,
——_—_———— Lumber Company,

Original “Dunbar” Machines

We are the original and the only makers of “Dunbar”
Shingle Machines, Lath Machines, Clapboard Machines,
Steam and Gasoline Logging Engines. Each is the best
for its particular work. Are you using the best ?

Clapboard Machine

You will need no excuse for. the qual-.
ity of your product if you use the ori-
ginal “Dunbar” Clapboard Machine. Ex-
pert in every detail. This machine will
give you the very best service under
most trying conditions. It will turn out ©
work without delays. It will need prac-
tically no repairs and will increase your —
output. We cannot recommend it too
highly because it is giving this very ser-
vice to lumbermen in all parts pt this
country. :

Lath Machine

From our many years of experience
we evolved this “Dunbar” Original Lath
Machine. Every improvement that tould
be suggested, every time-tested idea for
the betterment of product and _ for
greater speed, has been incorporated in
this machine. We believe it has no
equal, and there are a great number of
mill men throughout Canada who share
this belief with us. Carefully constructed
of high grade materials and designed to
work steadily under the hardest condi-
tions,

Steam and Gasoline
Logging Engines

Conditions in Canada necessitate an
engine that will stand any amount of
strain and hard work in the lumber in-
dustry. With this idea in mind we have
brought out the “Dunbar” engines per-
haps a little stronger than is really
needed, They do their work easily and
willingly, and stand a great amount of
hard usage. Built entirely in Canada for
the Canadian lumber trade.

Send for catalogues of any or all of these machines.

case was related which showed how important it is under modern
competitive methods to know accurately what it costs to do business,
so that you may be able to charge a proper price for your goods and
your service.

Once upon a time there was a certain dealer who was discussing
trade conditions with a friend. “How are things going,” the friend
asked. “Fine,” the dealer replied. “I have been striking some pretty
hard competition, but I have no trouble in meeting it, as the other
fellows have to buy land for their yards and I own my place.” The
friend rubbed his eyes and asked the value of the yard, froma real
estate point of view. It was probably worth about $40,000, as it was
located in an important part of the city. When the friend was leav-
ing he made a remark which rather puzzled the dealer for a time,
saying to him that he intended to take up some property in that
neighborhood upon which he would probably come to the dealer for
a mortgage. Of course, he would count upon getting the mortgage
without paying any interest upon it, as he expected the dealer would
do as well by him as he had done by himself. After the dealer had
puzzled over this remark for a time, he rubbed his own eyes and '
changed his accounting system so that it includes an annual charge of
$2,000 as interest upon his investment.

It is important that everyone engaged in the retail lumber busi-
ness should figure out this overhead question fully until he is satisfied
that he has included every item that should be included. Only in
such a manner can one be sure that he is going ahead and making
enough profit to continue in business. Failure to do this is the chief
cause of price-cutting. It is safe to say that any man who intends to
commence a price-cutting campaign will be cured of his folly if he
devotes a few days to a study of his overhead expenses, before cut-
ting his prices. Just so surely as he does not, so surely will all the
items of overhead co-operate ruthlessly and continuously in favor of
his competitor whom he is trying to force out of business, and finally
involve him instead of his competitor in extensive loss or complete
failure.

For these reasons we would like to see the problem of overhead |
expense accounting reduced to its simplest form, so that it may be,
to a very great extent, standardized. This is a work which could be
handled by a number of retailers getting together and submitting
their own methods as a basis for study. It would not be long before
a practical plan could be worked out which would be a great improve-
ment upon most of the individual plans submitted, and would enable
all retailers who wish to take advantage of it, not only to understand
their own costs and selling prices better, but to know that the other
fellow was basing his quotations upon similarly accurate information.

The Lumberman, the Architect and
the Contractor .

At a recent meeting of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto ~
Board of Trade an address was delivered by one of the leading archi-

tects of Toronto, who discussed, among other things, a plan which

he had in mind for enabling lumber dealers to be far more certain
than they are at present of securing pay for the materials they deliver
on a job. One could not help feeling, when listening to this address,
that it might be made the beginning of a much closer approach be-
tween architects, contractors and lumber dealers than has existed.
in the past. It is a peculiar thing that the architect and the lumber
dealer are, in the majority of cases, quite good friends, and that the
lumber dealer and the contractor also are good friends, but that the.
architect and the contractor do not, in many cases, pull well together. _
There seems to be some antagonistic spirit at large between architects
and contractors that often leads to trouble. We hear, many and _
many a time, in connection with a building that has been poorly
constructed, that the trouble was the result of bickering between the —
architect and the contractor. We hear also that such and such an —
architect was not onto his job, did not watch the contractor close
enough and that the latter “put it over him” in one way or another, so
that the job suffered. Why is it that these two parties, whose har-~
monious relation has so much to do with the success of a job, are fre-.

quently unable to get along amicably, while each of them is able to
make good friends with the lumber dealer? The reason we bring
this question up is that whenever the architect and the contractor do
not get along well together the lumber dealer suffers along with the
others, both because of the uncertainties connected with a job on
which there is frequent trouble, and because of the danger that the
job may be stopped.

It occurs to us, in this connection, that the lumber dealer may be
able to act the part of the peacemaker. Frequently he does take this
part in connection with a particular job. Possibly he could go further,
that is to say, he and his fellow lumber dealers might do the same
thing collectively. The lumber dealers in a large city, for instance,
might get together in their association and discuss ways and means
of bringing about better relations between the architects and con-
tractors with whom they do business; that is to say, those responsible
architects and contractors who show a desire to get along amicably
together, but so frequently are not able to do so. How the thing can
be brought about is not just an easy matter to figure out off hand, but
we believe that, in the first place, a body of lumber dealers might
invite representatives of the architects to discuss matters with them,
and similarly have a conference with representatives of the contrac-
tors; then perhaps have joint meetings of all three bodies and discuss
practical ways of reducing friction.

The architect and the contractor are very essential to the pro-

naturally looks for practical and concrete results. The architect, to
some extent, while imbued with a desire for practical results, is alse
a man of high ideals in regard to his work. It is in the clashing o
these opposite elements of character that much of the trouble aris es
The contractor will tell you that when the architect takes charge
a job its cost immediately advances. The architect, on the othe
hand, knows of many cases where only the careful supervision of

architect will prevent an unscrupulous contractor from putting u
inferior class of building as compared with the one required

specifications. “ig 4

There are good and bad men in all classes and in all profe: $Si

to group together the good ones in an effort to weed out the ¢
ties that develop when the bad ones get together or clash

Lumber Trade Needs More Knowledge About Lumber _ aa

We have had something to say in recent issues of the Canada
Lumberman about the extent to which cement and other building
materials have been replacing wood, and we have done what we could
to place the matter before our readers forcibly enough to lead them
to realize that, to quite a considerable extent, they may, by a united
effort, reduce the loss to the lumber trade which results from this
competition. There is no question that much of the old time trade
of lumber has gone over to the substitute materials, never to return,
but there is still plenty of room to do something to prevent the move-
ment from going further and at the same time to educate lumbermen,

architects, engineers and consumers generally to a better understand-

‘ing of the uses of wood. It is not possible to improve the lumber trade
by running down the use of steel and cement, but it is possible to
teach engineers, architects, contractors and prospective home builders

that they can make far greater use of wood than is usual and get -

splendid satisfaction by so doing.

While we have expert engineers all over the world working out
problems in steel and concrete construction, where will you find any-
thing that can be called a wood engineer? Architects are supposed to
know all that is necessary regarding the qualities of wood for con-
struction purposes, but how many of them really have any such
knowledge? Probably about one in fifty. And who is to blame? Not
the architect, surely, as he is not interested in the sale of lumber. He

-informs himself mostly about those materials for which he finds the

greatest demand, and he finds that the ordinary layman’s knowledge
of lumber is almost sufficient for him in order to deal with such
varieties and qualities of lumber as his work calls upon him to imclude
in his buildings. The blame attaches definitely and solely to the men
who are interested in the sale of lumber. They will talk to one
another about the ignorance of architects, whereas they are the ones
who are ignorant of the methods that should be followed in order to
educate architects regarding wood.

Until quite recently very few lumbermen or lumber associations
have done anything in the way of getting out useful or commercial
information about what their wood products will do, where they
should be used and how to avoid certain dangerous tendencies in
certain grades and varieties. The aim of the manufacturer has been
to move his stock and, if the wrong stock often found its way into a
building, so much the better, as it afforded an opportunity for selling
some more. Little wonder that steel and concrete, backed up by
scientific engineering data and experience, found it a simple matter
to take over much of the business that formerly went to wood,

Throughout the greater part of the past, everything has”
haphazard in the lumber business, so far as educating the consu 1
or the architect was concerned. With the completion of the s
producer has felt that his end of the business was over and tha
next thing was to look for another customer. There has been
too little consideration of the interest of the man who pays for
lumber and uses it. And, seeing that this was the disposition of
lumbermen, who could expect the architects to take much mo i
terest than the lumbermen themselves in the use of wood? ~—-
How many architects or lumbermen can tell the carrying ¢ capa
of a 10-inch floor constructed of 2 x 10 on edge for a mill cons tr
building? How many can tell whether 2 x 10 or 3 x 10 i is. bette - fo
such a purpose, and why? And so on through a hundred and n¢
questions, the answer to which should be at the immediate d po
of everyone who is interested in the sale of lumber. These are p
tical questions, not matters of theory. They come up every da
construction work. Many first class architects and engineers k
the answer, but the body of the trade and many of the architects do

upon which to base our efforts to give wood a sound position among
architects and engineers, and it will be possible for us to exploit every
possible market for lumber, instead of the comparatively few that are
“now exploited to anything like their full extent. We believe that the
recently developed tendency to advertise lumber is clearly working

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

along these lines. Lumber cannot be advertised successfully unless
those who do the advertising know its uses intimately. The two
movements go hand in hand, and if they are worked out logically and
followed up relentlessly to their natural limits there is a great day
ahead of the lumber trade.

Keeping in Touch with

Keeping track of prospective business is a pretty important mat-
n connection with any branch of the lumber business. For the
er it is perhaps of greater importance than for others, as the
of his business vary so greatly from day to day, whereas in
tion with the wholesaler and the manufacturer it is possible
‘Ys even in one’s head, a large proportion of the important in-
ion regarding customers.

ee of working out a system for keeping track of prospective
ess will vary, but the main points are common to all systems.
are all based upon eternal vigilance, coupled with a good sys-
f tabulating and filing the information secured. The manager of
tail lumber yard should give much of his time to this work.
s also the chief, or the only salesman, he should find that by
g this work to a systematic basis, the yard’s business will soon

fave no intention, at this time, of going into details regard-
oa system for conducting this work. Our idea is only to lay
phasis upon its importance and urge those who are inclined to
it, to change their ways. At the same time we may outline
y the way in which the work is done in connection with many
and small yards. A good system of this sort depends upon
ctors; first, the securing of information, and second, its being
eniently so that it can be made of use to good effect.
information about prospects depends upon keen work on
f salesmen and managers, upon the service given to custo-
h induces them to come back and also to send in informa-
they know of other men who are likely to be in the market,
“many little things in connection with the working of a
- which show the public that your stocks are good and your
. is complete. |
e who are engaged in selling, either for a single yard or for
of related yards, should make an absolute rule of recording
ormation they receive about prospects and sending it to the
wer to be placed upon file in a systematic manner. This in-
ion should all come before the manager regularly. All the
ation regarding a particular job, or a particular customer’s
le and actual requirements, should be filed in correspondence
nd laid before the manager at such time as he requires it.
to put this into effect, the usual method is to handle it in
n with a card index, using date ticklers in connection there-
en the information has been considered and acted upon
ager he instructs the stenographer at what date he wishes

lays before him all the correspondence and information regarding
tach prospect which is to be dealt with on that day. The files for the
day are attended to and each is advanced to a later date, or other-
wise disposed of according to its requirements. When a prospect
has been converted into a customer, the correspondence or informa-
tion in the file may be transferred to the files of the department which
handles shipment or the production and shipment of the goods sold.

If a job is lost, the file may be handled as seems best, either by being ;
“killed,” or by being filed in connection with an index card and o*
tickler which will bring it up for consideration at a more distant date,

‘

when it is possible that the same party may again become a prospect.

A. system based upon these ideas, worked out in detail to suit
the different cases, will make all the difference between a progressive
business and a dead one. It will, to a great extent, enable a firm to
eliminate much of its circular letter work and confine itself to cor-
respondence bearing upon actual prospects which are live at the time
they are being dealt with. Information may be gathered a long time 3
in advance and filed away with a confident assurance that when it is
needed it will come up.. There is no possibility of forgetting a pros-
pect if this plan is followed. It may seem rather a cumbersome plan
at first, but once it has been got into working shape, it will look
after itself and will introduce into the whole routine of the office
and yard an element of orderliness that will be one of its greatest

assets. Moreover, in the course of a comparatively short time a :
system of this sort will enable a manager, by going through his files a
to obtain a practical idea of how much business he can count upon in ;
the near future, as it is a fairly simple matter to figure out from past wl
records the percentage of prospective business that materializes into i
orders. ; -

Canada’s exports of forest products for the month of April, 1916, “i

Import of lumber into Barbados, B.W.I., was affected more than Z ;
any other line during the early days of the war. There has been a | :
recovery, however, and the imports of white pine and spruce from
Canada have come up to the average, increasing from £21,228 to

£32,832 last year. Less pitch pine was imported from the United ‘i
States, and fewer staves and shooks, though since January 1, 1916, a
a large falling off has taken place in the value of imported shingles a:

from Canada, amounting to nearly £10,000, which appears to be due
partly to the fact that a large quantity was in stock in the island at
the beginning of the year. Large quantities of pncheon staves are ~
required in Barbados each year and also in the other West Indian
islands, the annual value being about £100,000. A serious attempt’
is recommended by Canadian firms to produce a stave from some
hardwood other than oak, or from Douglas fir, to meet this demand.

The recent reference in news dispatches to the idea of a depart-
ment store in Portland, Ore., by which lumber is sold in the store, in
“Short Lengths for Odd Jobs,” has been followed by the establish-
ment of similar departments in a dozen big American cities, where
bits of board are sold for 2, 3 or 5 cents. The idea has spread so.
rapidly that a company has been formed at Portland under the name
of the Miniature Lumber Company, to supply department stores |
with cabinets for display of such lumber. :

Death of Flight Sub-Lieut. J. R. Chamberlin

News of the death of
Flight Sub-Lieut. J. Russell
Chamberlin, of the Royal
Flying Corps, which was
received in Toronto on June
3rd, was a great shock to
his many friends in the lum-
ber trade. The late Flight
Sub-Lieut. Chamberlin was
a son of Mr. Jas. E. Cham-
berlin (of the Hugh Mc-
Lean Lumber Company), 86
Pleasant Blvd., Toronto. His
death was the result of an
aeroplane accident which oc-
curred at Netheravon, Eng-
land, on the morning of June
2nd. Mr. Jas. E. Chamber-
lin got in touch with friends
in England by cable and
made arrangements for havy-
ing the body of his son
brought to Canada for
burial.

Flight Sub-Lieut. J. Rus-
sell Chamberlin was born in
Ottawa 25 years ago. He
was educated at Jarvis Col-
legiate Institute, ‘Toronto,
and subsequently attended
the University of Toronto, where he graduated from the Department
of Forestry two years ago. During his course at the University he
was proprietor of the J. R. Chamberlin Company, dealers in type-
writer supplies, and in this way helped to finance his University
course. Upon graduation he went to Victoria, B. C., where he had
already secured an appointment with the Forestry ‘Branch of the
Department of Lands of B. C. In this position he did excellent work
and was sent to Toronto last fall to install an exhibit of B. C. forest
products at the Canadian National Exhibition. While in Toronto at
that time he applied to be taken on as a student at the flying school
in Toronto. He found that he would have to wait his turn, however,
and in the interval returned to B. C. He was back again in Toronto
early in the winter and sailed from St. John, N. B., on January Ist to
take the aviation course in England. He had recently completed the
course and was doing practical work preparatory to going across to
France. Letters received recently by Mr. J. E. Chamberlin from his
son stated that he had been in hospital for a short time as the result
of a cold, but on May 20th he was back again at his aviation work.

The late Flight Sub-Lieut. Chamberlin will be well remembered

The Late Flight Sub-Lieut. J. Russel
Chamberlin

by many lumbermen in Toronto, who will recall having heard him

deliver an excellent address before the Lumbermen’s Section of the
Toronto Board of Trade on September 10th, in the course of which
he explained the qualities and advantages of B. C. timber and lumber.
His address at that time was an important factor in developing the
remarkable interest in B. C. products which has since been increased
greatly by the publicity work of the Forest Branch. The late Flight
Sub-Lieut. Chamberlin also addressed the retail lumber dealers of
Winnipeg on July 14th.

Mr. L. B. Beale, B. C. Lumber Commissioner at Toronto, when
told of the death of Flight Sub-Lieut. Chamberlin, expressed great
regret at the loss of such a promising Young man. “J. R. Chamber-
lin,” he said, “was one of the bright spots in the market extension and
publicity work of the Forest Service. He had an excellent grasp of
his subject and what was perhaps more, had a very attractive per-
sonality. He was esteemed highly for these qualities amongst all his
confreres and his loss will be felt personally by many of them. He
had a peculiarly winning manner and was a good mixer. These
qualities, coupled with energy in his work, made him a splendid

official of the Department.”

Full of Practical Things
Editor, Canada Lumberman:— Grand’Mere, P.Q.
[ congratulate you most highly on your Annual Number. Jt
is the best thing that you have done yet, full of interest and of
practical things from cover to cover, and shows us that you are

keeping up with all the different branches of the lumber industry.

Yours very truly,
Ellwood Wilson,
Supt. Forestry Division,

A report upon the consumption of wood in Canada for the manu-
facture of pulp during 1915, has been prepared by the Forestry Branch
‘of the Department of the ‘Interior and will be published in bulletin
m in the near future. The report will show that since 1908, when
able statistics were first gathered, the consumption has increased
ost threefold. This increase has been extended each year with the
tion of 1910, when a decrease of 3.8 per cent. was shown. The
C1 ases have varied between 10.04 and 28.9 per cent. The actual
Tes | for the 8 vears are as follows :—

e Canadian pulp mills in 1915 consumed a total of 1,405,836
of pulpwood, valued at $9,426,217. During the same year
714 cords, valued at $6,164,113, were exported to the United States,

fine a total of 2,355,550 cords, valued at $15,590, a as the cut of
pwood from Canada’s forests in 1915.

though the cost of raw material has increased, aia labor con-
is have been disturbed by the war, the demand for pulp has in-
_for American consumption, and the difficulty of obtaining
ommodity from Scandinavian sources has increased the overseas
mand. The consumption of wood for pulp manufacture in Canada
Ss ani increase of 14.8 per cent. in 1915. Increases are to be noted
‘every province in Canada, as follows: Quebec, 9.7 per cent.; On-
o,, 7.3; New Brunswick, 134.8; (bringing this province up to ‘third
the list in place of British Columbia) ; British Columbia, 13.2, and
_ Scotia, 93.7.

he pepmee value of pene ecd at the mill showed an increase

Jack Pine Consumption Increasing

e report calls attention to the fact that the manufacture of sul-
nate, or kraft pulp, has opened a new market for the consumption of
ke ine, a wood that has not been cut extensively for lumber. In

nly 40 cords of this wood were reported as having been used
ulp making. In 1913, when the kraft pulp was first made exten-
19,383 cords were reported, all of which was used in the sul-
een The increase from 1914 to 1915 was almost 70 per cent.

ere was a smaller increase in the use of spruce and hemlock,
crease with balsam fir and poplar. While these five woods
only ones reported, small quantities of white and red pine, and
ick, are often used. Spruce and balsam fir pulpwood, as pur-
“ the mills, frequently contain a small accidental proportion
woods, which is not reported.

e proportion of wood used in the mechanical and chemical pro-
s of pulp making remained about the same in 1915 as in 1914.
se of wood in the chemical process increased from 36.5 per cent.
to 47.3 per cent. in 1914, and 47.1 per cent. in 1915, now form-
st half the wood consumed in the industry. The use of wood
eased in actual quantity with all four of the processes used.

roximately 1,074,805 tons of air-dry pulp were manufactured
da in 1915, assuming that one cord of wood will produce one
round wood pulp, or one-half ton of chemical fibre. This
an increase of 15 per cent. over 1914. With groundwood pulp
se was 15.3, and with chemical fibre, made ‘by the three pro-
ogether, 14.2. The manufacture of chemical fibre by the sul-
ocess shows an increase of 8.2, by the sulphate process 31.4,

the soda process 66.4.
ice and balsam fir are used in all five provinces and in all four
; 25 of pulp manufacture. Hemlock was not reported from New
ick nor used in making soda pulp. Jackpine was reported
Bi >m Ontario and Quebec, and was used in making sulphate
» alone. Poplar was reported from Ontario and Quebec only, and

as not used in making sulphate pulp.

1 1908, the quantity of pulpwood exported in the raw state ex-
the quantity manufactured in Canada by 312,119 cords. The
ion of manufactured wood increased steadily until the two were
t equal in 1912, and in 1915 the home consumption exceeded the
by 456, 122 cords. The quantity exported has increased by
3 cent. during that period, while the quantity consumed

per cent. The quantity manufactured in Canada increased by 14
per cent., while the quantity exported unmanufactured decreased by ve
2.3 per cent. Increases in proportion are to be noted in every pro- ,
vince but Quebec; increases in manufacture in every province, and
increases in export in Ontario and Nova Scotia, with decreases in
Quebec and New Brunswick.. No pulpwood has been exported from
British Columbia since 1913.

. Woodpulp

The export of woodpulp from Canada has alternately increased
and decreased every year from 1909 to 1915. The total in 1915 is a
decrease of 14.3 per cent. from that of 1914. The United States,
France, and Japan purchased Canadian pulp in greater quantities than 4
in the previous year, and China, Australia, Cuba, and New Zealand .
were added to the list, but the exports to Great Britain fell off by over
Tears thousand tons, bringing the total export below that of

The export of mechanical pulp decreased by 34.3 per cent., de-
creasing to the United States and Great Britain, and increasing to
France. The export of chemical fibre showed an increase of 42.6 per ne
cent., increasing to the United States, Great Britain, and Japan. No
chemical pulp was exported to France in 1915. :

The average value per ton of pulp exported increased by $4.61,
increasing with ground wood and decreasing with chemical fibre. ‘-

The importation of wood pulp into Canada showed a slight de- :
crease from 1914 to 1915. The quantity purchased from the United t
States increased, while that from Sweden and Great Britain decreased.

No pulp was imported from Norway, Switzerland, or Austria-Hun- y!
gary. The importation in 1914 of a small quantity from the latter »
country was stock purchased early in the year before the outbreak of =
the war. va

30 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

From the Canada Lumberman of
Thirty-Five Years Ago

“Loss on Square Pine Timber.”—The Commissioner of Crown
Lands for Ontario in his able report for last year, says :—

The following will show the estimated loss to the Province and
the revenue from waste in getting out square pine, from 1868 to 1877,
both inclusive :—Total quantity taken from public and private lands
during the ten years, 119,250,420 cubic feet; waste, one-fourth of
each tree, equal to one-third of the total mentioned, viz.: 39,750,140
cubic feet, or say, in round numbers 477 million feet board measure,
which may be valued one-half at $10 per 1,000 feet, and one-half at
$5 per 1,000 feet, representing relatively the prime timber beaten
off and the inferior timber from the upper part of the tree, average
value, say $7.50 per 1,000 feet, equal to $3,577,500 loss to the province
for ten years, or an annual loss in material wealth of $357,750.

The quantity taken from public lands during the ten years is
87,620,135 cubic feet, the waste on which on the basis given being
equal to 29,206,711 cubic feet, or 350 million feet board measure, sub-
ject to Crown dues at $750 per million feet equal to $262,600 lost to
the Revenue during the ten years.

The loss to the country in revenue from timber destroyed by fires
which might have been confined to a limited area, and possibly ex-
tinguished, before great damage had been done to the forest, had
they not been fed by the debris of trees left to rot and dry, is in-
calculable.

Lumbering on the Pacific Coast:—Saw-logging on the Pacific
Coast is carried on somewhat differently to what it is in Muskoka.
When all orders have been filled, stock lumber is cut pretty much as
follows :—Butt log, 24 feet; second, 32 feet; then 40 feet, until stop-
ped by knots. The roads are graded 16 feet, with a skid let in across
the road every 8 feet. The logs are barked when the sap is up—
failing this they are “rossed” on the running side. Four yoke of oxen
constitute a team, the hind yoke having a tongue and dog chain.
The logs are strung one behind the other, with dogs and chains; one
log, however, containing 6,000 feet, being considered a load. The
greaser goes ahead of the team, with a swab and can of dog fish oil,
and greases the skids. With regard to the wages paid, the chopper,
who stands on a spring board while working, receives $75 a month

and board; hook tender, who snips the ends of the logs, drives the

hooks and attends to snatch blocks and snubbing lines, gets $50;

‘sawyer, $60; barker, $35; head skidder, $40; second skidder, $35;

teamster, $75; swamper, $40; greaser (a boy), $20. All payments
are made in gold. Land that has less than 200,000 feet to the acre
is not considered pine land. A stock was lately cut out of a saw-log
in the mill at Tacoma, which measured 34 x 14 inches, and 120 ft. long.

Ottawa.—The value of sawn lumber exported from Ottawa dur-
ing the months of May, June, July, August and September, 1877, is
given at $859,616; in 1878, at $686,671 ; in 1879 at $813,211. During the
year 1880, for May, June, July and August, the value exported is
$100,320. When September returns come to be added, it is expected
that the increase over the five months of last year will be in the
vicinity of half a million dollars.

B.C. Lumber Exhibit Installed at Montreal

In pursuance of the publicity campaign of the British Columbia
Government, to push the sale of B. C. lumber in the east, the consent

of the Montreal Board of Trade was obtained recently for exhibiting

samples of B. C. lumber products in the principal room of that organ-

ization. The exhibits were installed under the supervision of Mr.
L. B. Beale, B. C. Lumber Commissioner for Eastern Canada. In-
vitations were sent out to lumbermen, architects, and contractors,
and these were freely responded to.

The exhibits consisted of finished specimens of seven woods—

Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, Western red cedar, Western soft and white

pine, Western hemlock, and Western larch, in doors, pannelling,
moulding, and in fact in all the main forms of manufactured lumber.
All the woods, except the doors, were arranged on large frames, the
upper portions of which contained photos showing the lumber from the
forest to the finished article. The photos included mills and paper and
pulp plants. Underneath were printed descriptions of each wood,
giving their strength values, uses, and other information. Particular
interest was shown in the exhibit of B. C. pine.

Mr. Beale explained to a representative of the Canada Lumber-
man that the B. C. Government is anxious to impress upon the con-
sumer the advantages of using these woods, and that the publicity
campaign is a means of educating the public to specify and pur-
chase Canadian lumber instead of the imported article, particularly
Georgia pine. In creating this demand the wholesale and retail lum-
bermen will naturally receive a part of the benefit of the trade created.

re * Z : ’ e yy!
June 15, 1916

The British Columbia Government is convinced that the province car
supply the lumber required in the east which now comes from foreign
points, and thus at the same time develop our resources and promote.
inter-provincial trade. B.C. lumber has unsurpassed qualities, and
there is no reason why we should purchase foreign supplies when we
can obtain suitable lumber within our own borders. The publicity
campaign has already resulted in a much better demand for B. C.
lumber products. -—
The exhibit is to be a permanent one in Montreal. Later on i
will be located in the Builders’ Exchange. Similar exhibits are in-
stalled at Hamilton and London. a
In a few days, Mr. Beale will visit the principal cities and town
in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces, in furtherance of the eduea

Thirty-six Million Cords of Wood Waste Annually —

There are more than 48,000 sawmills in the United States. an
their output of waste in the form of sawdust, shavings, slabs, a
other wood refuse, is estimated as 36 million cords per year. This is”
equal to over 4% billion cubic feet of waste. »% . ais

Perhaps one-half of this so-called waste product is not, stric
speaking, wasted, but serves a useful purpose as fuel under the boile
Much of the remaining 18 million cords not only serves no useful
purpose, but in most cases is a source of inconvenience and danger,
and costs the mill time and money.

It is estimated that for a mill of one hundred thousand feet caf
city the cost of conveying the waste from the machine where it is
made and destroying it in a closed burner, is 42 cents per cord, or
$10.05 per day. Burners seldom bring in any revenue, although in
a few cases ashes are sold for fertilizer, and in a number of others —
the burner furnishes hot feed water for the boilers. ae |

Both burners and fire-pits add to the insurance rates on lumber, —
and in the case of the pit, on the mill itself. In order to reduce the
fire hazard to zero, in the case of the burners, it is necessary to keep —
all lumber piles at least one hundred and fifty feet away from the
burner. The matter is much worse in the case of pits, especially the |
open ones. which must be kept three hundred feet away from the —
mill and five hundred feet away from any lumber piles. When nearer
than these distances from the mill and yard respectively, the insur-
ance rates mount up rapidly with closer proximity until they become
Pa mew prohibitive when the fire-pit is nearer than one hundred —

A New Lumbering Concern for Northern Ontario iy *

Another new lumbering concern has this year been added to those
so successfully operating along the line of the Temiskaming and —
Northern Ontario Railway, the Monteith Pulp & Timber Company,
Limited. The headquarters of the company’s operations are at Mon- —
teith, on the Driftwood River. about 30 miles from Cochrane, where —
a combination circular saw and rossing mill has been constructed —
and is now running, with a capacity of 35,000 feet of lumber and 100 —
cords of rossed pulpwood a day. The limits of the company, located
along the Driftwood River and in close proximity to the mill, were —
first logged by the company during the past winter, and in addition
they have contracted for the entire output of two sawmills and five —
rossing plants in the district. It is anticipated that their own output —
will amount to six million feet of lumber and 20,000 cords of pulp- —
wood this season. The company’s location and manufacturing condi- —
tions augur well for a most successful operation. The supply of
spruce pulpwood along the .Driftwood River and its tributaries is
enormous, estimated at well over 1,000,000 cords. Much of this —
spruce is large enough to profitably cut into lumber, and as this sup- —
ply is close to the mill operations of the company and practically on —
the line of railway, the cost of transportation is reduced to a minimu
Besides the mill buildings, the company is also operating a large get
eral store at Monteith. } *

The personnel of the Monteith Pulp & Timber Co., Limited, is
made up principally of lumbermen of wide experience. The officers
are: James Thompson, M.P.P., Havelock, Ont., president ; J. L. Squire,
Norwood, Ont., vice-president; Peter Yousey, Monteith, Ont., pr af
duction manager; E. R. Heyland, Toronto, secretary-treasurer. TT
head office of the company is at. 123 Bay Street, Toronto.

Purchaser’s Risk Upheld by Court
Res _ Let the Buyer Beware is Maxim Regulating Lumber
. Transaction as Court Sees It.

Judgment was recently given in the Court of Appeal in an appeal
against the judgment of a county court judge in the County of Elgin,
, in the action of Oldrieve vs. C. G. Anderson Company, Limited.
he County Court case the plaintiff had obtained judgment in an
ion to recover a balance of the price of lumber sold to the defendant
company. The defendant company had claimed that they purchased
28,000 feet 12/4 firsts and seconds white ash, carrying 20 per cent.

ntended that the shipment contained 9,920 feet more of No. 1 than
terms of the agreement obliged them to take. They also claimed
h allowance of 2 per cent. These two claims were both dismissed
the County Court judge.
When the case came up for appeal, a majority of the Court held
he goods were in actual existence from the beginning of the
otiations and that the rule “let the purchaser beware” applied to
clude implied warranties. The inspection followed by the accept-
ce and shipment, settled all other questions, both of quantity and

Ine of the judges of the Court of Appeal, however, dissented

mpany had not been aware of the amount or the proportion of the
sess of No. 1 common, though it might be fairly said that they
d known that there was some excess. They had resold, and the
ivery to them was made by placing the lumber on cars. Until the
loz ing was complete the quantity and quality, or the proportions
of the latter, could not be ascertained in fact. Upon complete delivery
the cars, and then alone, could the appellant company have ascer-
ined the’ proportions and known whether the contract had been
ved. It would be rather a hard position in which to put a
aser who had resold, to say that he must then and there reject

not disclosed, the true state of affairs and could not complain if re-

Soda Dip for Preventing Sap

Stain in Lumber

The practice of dipping lumber in a tank containing a solution
of soda, in order to prevent sappy lumber from staining, is not very
general in Canada, but is used in some of the larger mills. The Hope
Lumber Company, Thessalon, Ont., have been using a tank of this
nature for several years and report that they have obtained good
results in this way. The accompanying illustration gives a clear idea
of the tank and its operation. The entire length of the table shown is
229 feet. The company use both sides of the table and thus have
100 separate sortings of lumber. The tank is placed 65 feet from the
mill or trimmer, which gives plenty of space for pulling off such lum-
ber as they do not wish to put through the soda tank. From the tank
to the end of the table they have 157 feet, which gives them plenty of
room for the lumber that passes through the tank. In the tank they
have a mixture of soda and water which kills sap in lumber. A good
many mills use a sprinkling system for the same purpose, but the
Hope Lumber Company find that a sprinkling system does not get
at all the sap on both sides of the board, while the tank system does,
as the board when leaving the table slides down the chains and is
submerged in the soda.

On the mill side of the tank the chains return on drivers located
at the end of the table near the edge of the tank. Underneath the
table, at the mill end, there is located a bevelled gear which drives

all chains on both sides of the tank. The method of drive is shown
in one of our illustrations. On the driving shaft there are five sprock-

and the other three are drivers, one of them driving all the chains
from a shaft under a table. The chains on the sorting side of the tank
run through the soda, along the sorting table and return under the
tank and table being driven by a driving sprocket at the mill side of

the tank. ee

The tank is built of 12/4 in. Norway. It is 26 ft. long, 7 ft. 6 ins.

timber and logs were brought down from the upper river loose in

Hugh Munro Again in Harness

‘he Canada Lumberman is pleased to announce that Mr. Hugh
whose health failed him some months ago, is gradually recov-
is old-time vigor and looking fit again. He has severed his
nection with the Oliver Lumber Company and is making arrange-
o start in business on his own account, under the name of the
Munro Lumber Company, Limited. Few lumbermen are more
known than “Hugh” Munro—and few have more friends in
de. He was associated for many years with the old firm of
eh & Oliver, while latterly being a stockholder in the Oliver
er Company. An extensive experience in the buying and selling
imber, coupled with a natural disposition to study the require-
ents of the consumer, has brought to him a very thorough know-
ige of the lumber business, and his entry into the wholesale lumber
id, by himself as it were, will doubtless mean further success.

Newfoundland Industries Growing

Important Company Started to Develop Pulp, Lumber, ete.—
Barrel Industry Developing.

St. Johns, Nfld., June 5; (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—
The Newfoundland Products Corporation, which was incorporated
during the last session of the Legislature, has obtained large and im-
portant concessions from the Government. The company will estab-
lish an extensive industry for the manufacture, among other things,
of pulp and lumber, and a fertilizer known as amonium sulphate. Sev-
eral plants are to be erected, at a cost of $18,000,000. The necessary
capital has been obtained, we are informed, from the banking firm of
Stone & Heyden, New York. When incorporated, the company in-
cluded Messrs. Thos. L. Wilson, of Woodstock, Ont., and the Reid
Newfoundland Company of Newfoundland. Mr. Wilson, well known
for his carbide industry, has since died, and the Reid Newfoundland
Company are now the chief promoters. The Reid Company have in-
cluded in the new company a large portion of their timber limits.
These are among the most important and best watered in the country.
More than one million dollars has already been spent upon the pre-
liminary work since last spring, chiefly in surveying the holdings.
Construction work will probably be commenced this summer. The
company will put up two sawmills at a cost of $211,800. Sulphite
pulp mills, electrolytic bleaching plants and wood preparation equip-

ment will be installed at a cost of $1,568,300. The sulphite pulp mills -

will consume 100,000 cords of spruce pulpwood yearly and will pro-
duce 36,500 tons of sulphite pulp, valued at $1,825,000. The company
have acquired for a period of 99 years the entire water power on the
Humber River (the largest river in Newfoundland), and on Junction
Brook, together with numerous water powers on the Hamilton River,
Labrador. They have agreed to sell any amount of water power up
to 500,000 h.p. to any saw or pulp mills operating in their vicinities.
The survey work is being carried on by Messrs. Jos. Wallace & Sons,
New York.

The barrel making industry is developing to considerable pro-
portions in Newfoundland, to meet the demands for packing herring
for the American markets. Newfoundland firms are going in ex-
tensively for the herring trade. Last winter the herring .pack for
export amounted to 85,660 barrels. The spring fishery is expected to
have an even larger output. The only hardwood available in the
country is birch, and it is only in limited quantities. Staves for this
industry will have to be imported from Canada.

W. E. B. Wally, a well-known English timber expert, visited
Bonne Bay, on the West Coast, recently, to look over timber areas for
English capitalists, who are thinking of purchasing from the present
owners, Messrs. Salter & Sons, of Nova Scotia. Mr. Wally was
favorably impressed with the property and it is probable that’a sale
will result at a substantial figure.

The shortage of tonnage for trans-Atlantic shipment is affecting
the export of pit-props to England. About 300,000 cords of pit-props
and a quantity of pit wood are lying upon the banks around the coast
waiting to be shipped. Eight large cargoes have already been shipped
this season, but the quantity remaining is many times greater than
that which has been shipped. Unless sufficient steamers are obtained,
it is likely that there will be a considerable loss to those engaged in
the work. A number of old wooden sealing vessels have been pressed
into this service.

Mr, George Esplin, who died at Lachine, P. Q., on May 28, aged
70, was senior member of the firm of G. and J. Esplin, box manu-
facturers, Duke Street, Montreal. Mr. Esplin had been ill for some
time, and recently had attended to his business only at intervals. He
took a deep interest in educational and hospital work, being chairman
of the Lachine School Board and governor of three or four hospitals.
The firm is one of the largest box manufacturers in Montreal.

The Preservative [Treatment of Timber

By W. G. Mitchell* :

large proportion of timber used for industrial purposes is
required for service under conditions which are favorable
for deterioration from decay and insect attack. These con-
ditions vary widely, and similarly, the means which may
be adopted for the reduction of losses from such causes are determined
largely by the nature of the service for which timber is used. The
artificial preservation of timber is not a new practice, but recent years
have developed many improvements in methods and accumulated a
varied and extensive experience which has yielded much definite
knowledge regarding its possibilities. It is impossible to estimate
even approximately the actual value of timber annually destroyed
in Canada by the agencies above noted, but the situation is certainly
serious enough to warrant very careful consideration of any means
for preventing or reducing such losses.

The Natural Durability of Wood

Woods of various species differ greatly in their natural resistance
to decay. The cedars, oaks and Douglas fir are among the most dur-
able of Canadian commercial woods, while ranging below these in an
estimated classification on a basis of natural durability are the tam-
aracks, the hemlocks, the pines, the spruces and such hardwoods as
beech, birch and maple. Variations in this respect apply to the sep-
arate species of above woods. Thus, white oak is by far the most
durable of all the oaks, and black spruce is regarded as more durable
than the other Eastern spruces,—red and white. The striking differ-

tically all species is, of course, a matter of common knowledge among
timber users.

Insect Destruction of Timber

The, destruction of structural timber by insects is not so serious
in Canada as in Southern climates, but the damage from this cause is
very considerable. This statement applies to insect destruction of
rough or finished timber and does not refer to damage caused to liy-
ing trees by forest insect pests.

Among the insects which attack structural timber those which —
are most destructive in Canada are the borers (round-headed and flat-
headed), powder-post beetles and ambrosia beetles. In general, un-
barked timber is more liable to insect attack because of the fact that
the eggs are deposited within the bark during the early summer
months and rapidly develop into mature insects. Winter cutting,
peeling and effective methods of seasoning will do much towards the
reduction of damage from insects. A feature of the action of wood
boring insects which ordinarily receives little consideration is the fact
that the burrows of such insects offer favorable points for the develop-
ment of fungus plants. The usual methods of preservative treatment :
adopted for protection against decay are also very effective in prevent-
ing insect destruction.

The marine boring insects which infest ocean waters and cause
enormous destruction of piling, dock and bridge timbers, more par-
ticularly in Southern climates, appear both in the Atlantic and Pacific

Principles of Wood Preservation

The decay of wood is possible only under certain conditions of
temperature, moisture and air supply. If these requisite conditions are
lacking, seasoned wood requires no further protection against decay.
Thus, wood for interior finishing and structural timber in dry build-
ings, furniture and the innumerable wooden articles in common use
do not deteriorate from this cause. In general, timber which is ex-
posed to the weather, particularly if in contact with the ground, and
that used in mining operations and in damp buildings is subject to
decay to a greater or less extent. In such cases the service life may
be very materially increased by artificial protective treatment.

The basis of those methods of wood preservation which are most
effective and in most general use is the treatment with a substance
which has a positive toxic action toward fungi. Other methods which
have been proposed and adopted to some extent depend on the partial
waterproofing of timber either by superficial application of paints,
pitch or similar materials, or by impregnation with such relatively
non-toxic oils as crude petroleum. These latter methods have seri-
ous limitations for many practical requirements and are not in general
use. Painting of sound seasoned lumber or heavier timber exposed
to the weather affords considerable protection against decay under
certain conditions. However, superficial application of, or partial or
' complete impregnation with an antiseptic material is the only effective
method for the preservative treatment of that large proportion of
timber used under service conditions in which painting could give no
lasting protection.

, The development of wood preservation in Canada has been com-
paratively recent and is not yet very extensive. There are now five
plants in Canada equipped for pressure treatment of timber, all estab-
lished within the past decade. A sixth plant of this class is now in
<ourse of construction on the Pacific coast. There are a few smaller
installations adapted to non-pressure treatment of small material.

Preservatives

Among the preservative materials which now have considerable
application in timber treatment, tar products of various grades,—com-
mercial creosotes, mixed paving oils and special high grade distillates,

are most extensively used. Such oils have a relatively high toxicity
to fungi and wood destroying insects, have a considerable waterproof-
ing value which is an important factor in certain cases, and are com-
paratively permanent as regards protective action. Of the metallic
salts used as wood preservatives, that which is most widely in use at
present is zinc chloride. Other preservatives of this class, which have
a limited use in America and a more general application in European
wood preservation practice, are mercuric chloride, sodium flouride and
copper sulphate. A few additional inorganic salts are used for wood
preservation but are of minor importance.

In general, creosote is adapted to any method of application,
from brushing to full pressure treatment. It is used practically ex-
clusively for treatment of piling and paving blocks and very largely
for treatment of ties, poles, posts and other timber placed in damp
places or in contact with the ground. In the United States in 1914
the consumption of commercial creosotes for wood preservation, in-
cluding mixed paving oils, was approximately 90,000,000 -U..S. gal-
lons, a figure which, because of reduction of European exports, was
less than that of 1912 by 18,000,000 U. S. gallons. Canadian con-
sumption during 1914 was approximately 3,500,000 Imperial gallons.

Zine chloride has had a long and successful application as a wood
preservative. It is used largely for treatment of cross ties and miscel-
laneous construction timber. As in the case of all metallic salt pre-
servatives, it is applied in water solution, and is used in pressure
methods of treatment most widely. Because of the solubility of this
salt, the protective value may be reduced by leaching where timber
treated by this method is exposed to excessive moisture. This is a
limitation which prevents its use for certain conditions, although it
is probable that this is less serious than is generally supposed. In
1914 the consumption of zinc chloride for preservative purposes in
the United States was over 27,000,000 pounds. It has had only a very
limited use in Canada but will no doubt be more widely adopted in
this country as wood preservation practice develops.

Mercuric chloride has had a fairly wide application as a wood
preservative in Europe and is still in general use on the Continent.
It is one of the most toxic materials which have been used for timber
treatment, but it has one limitation which has prevented its very ex-
tensive adoption in American practice. It is exceedingly corrosive
and therefore cannot be used for pressure methods of treatment in
steel retorts. ‘The use of this material as a wood preservative in
America is rather limited and is confined to open tank treatment
of lumber and other forms of building timber. Where used in this
way, timber is soaked for some days in hot or cold solutions of the
salt, varying in concentration from 34 per cent. to 1 per cent. Mercuric

Methods of Applying Preservatives

preservatives may be classified as non-
pressure and pressure methods. The former include brushing and
dipping or prolonged immersion in the preservative. In brush appli-
cation creosote is used most largely. This method is adapted for the
superficial treatment of poles, posts and miscellaneous lumber. One
or more coats are applied as may be required. Timber must be dry,
peeled and clean for successful results from this method. Preserv-
atives should preferably be applied hot where possible. Application

Methods of applying

- can be only superficial at best and protective value of such treatment

is limited accordingly, but the method has certain fields of use where
more expensive treatment would not be justified.

Dipping, as distinguished from long immersion, when adopted,
is generally used with creosote, although water soluble salts may be
applied by this method. Dipping of freshly sawn lumber to prevent
sap staining in hot damp weather is a case of this latter practice,
where a solution of sodium bicarbonate, sodium fluoride or more rarely
mercuric chloride is the preservative used. Preservative may be hot
or cold, preferably hot in case of creosote oil. Dipping affords rather
more effective protection than brush treatment with similar pre-
servative. Fence posts, tank and silo staves and other light structural
material may be treated by dipping method.

Prolonged immersion in preservative is exemplified by the mer-
curic chloride treatment of structural ‘material. In this case it is
customary to soak the timber in open tanks containing a solution
of the preservative for a period of from two to eight days, according
to size of material. The preservative may be heated by direct steam
if desired and a 1 per cent. concentration is the usual strength of
solution. Timber for such treatment must be well seasoned and should
be allowed to dry after immersion.

Open tank treatment is the name applied to a method in quite
general use for treating poles, posts, cross arms and miscellaneous
lumber. The principle of the method is a first heating of timber in
hot preservative followed by cold immersion or slow cooling in first
preservative. The air contained within the wood structure is partially
expelled on first heating and contracts on later cooling and the con-
sequent reduced pressure within the wood results in considerable
absorption of preservative. This method gives much greater penetra-
tion than mere dipping treatments, requires only simple and inex-
pensive open tank equipment and is well adapted for use on a com-
paratively small scale. Creosote is generally used with this method
although it is equally well suited for treatment with water soluble
preservatives.

Pressure methods are extensively used in large scale timber treat-
Pressure impregnation is applicable to all oil pre-
servatives and to those salt solutions which have not a serious cor-
rosive action on steel retorts. A large horizontal steel cylinder or
retort is used almost exclusively for pressure treatment. In present
commercial practice such cylinders range in length from 50 ft. to
130 ft., while diameters vary from 6 ft. to 8 ft. In most modern plants

of large capacity, cylinders of the maximum sizes above noted are

used. The equipment of a modern plant of this type is quite extensive
and will include one or more treating cylinders, storage tanks, measur-
ing tanks, high pressure hydraulic pumps, vacuum pumps and steam
power installation. Pressure cylinders are designed for pressures up
to 250 pounds per square inch, although working pressures during
operation usually range from 125-175 pounds per square inch. Quite

recently a type of vertical retort has been developed in the United

States for the treatment of paving blocks. Such retorts are of various
sizes ranging in diameter from 11-20 feet and in height from 14-30
feet. In one type, blocks are discharged through bottom hoppers,
while a feature of another type is a movable ram which forces blocks
out at the top of retort.

There are a number of modifications of pressure methods of tim-
ber treating in use in present practice. The name of the original pres-
sure treatment—“Bethellizing,’—is still current, and as now under-
stood refers to straight pressure treatment with creosote oil. In-
jection of creosote may be preceded by artificial seasoning by steam-
ing and exhaustion of retort, where green or partially seasoned tim-
ber is being treated. This method is in general use for treatment of
piling, ties, and pacing blocks. Burnettizing is the name now applied
to the corresponding method of treatment with zinc chloride solution.

Preparation for Preservative Treatment

Wet or green timber cannot be satisfactorily impregnated with
preservative, and seasoning or drying is an essential prerequisite for
successful treatment. Ordinarily this is accomplished by natural z
seasoning, for periods varying with size of material, season of cutting
and climatic conditions. The greater proportion of timber intende
for preservative treatment is more or less completely air dried. —
seasoned timber will contain from 12 to 18 per cent. of moisture, ba S
on dry weight. Kiln drying of lumber is common practice, but s
tural timber for preservative treatment is rarely, if ever, dried by st
a comparatively expensive method. However, artificial seas on:
of green or partially seasoned material is practiced extensively
modern timber treating practice. In many cases such material is st
ected to a preliminary direct low pressure steaming in retort for y
ing periods, followed by a vacuum for the purpose of increasing
oration of water.. Such preparatory treatment is followed by ap
tion of preservative under pressure. This method is widely us
the pressure treatment of ties, paving blocks, piling and heavy struc-
tural timber. Another method of artificial seasoning which. has been
developed for the treatment of timbers which are resistant to im
nation, particularly when air seasoned, is long continued heating
timber in creosote oil raised to temperatures above the boiling po
of water. This method, which is a feature of several processé
employed quite extensiv ely for the treatment of Douglas fir.

Barking or peeling of timber is another essential preparat
for preservative treatment. This applies, of course, to timber
the round form as in the case of piling, poles, and mine ‘timbers. A
adhering to timber may entirely prevent local penetration or preser
ative. Another consideration, as previously noted, is that peeled
ber is much less susceptible to the attacks of boring insects du
the period of seasoning. Peeling timber greatly hastens drying
thus reduces the seasoning period before treatment. In some
peeling may be delayed until immediately .before treatment. 1
practice has been adopted with seasoned pole ties of certain species
which it has been found that more thorough penetration with preserv-
ative is thus possible.

Commercial Forms of Timber Adaptable to Preservative

timber ; telegraph, ‘telephone and transmission line poles; fence. posts ;
wood paving blocks; structural timber, flooring and roof’ planks
certain classes of industrial buildings ; shingles ; silo and tank stave
lumber for similar miscellaneous uses; cross arms; insulator pins
and tie plugs.

Railway Cross Ties

The preservative treatment of railway ties in Canada is only,
recent development. In 1910 the number of treated ties used by
Canadian railroads was negligible. In 1913, of a total of approximately
20,000,000 ties used, 10 per cent. were reported as having rece
preservative treatment, while in 1914 this proportion decseaaer to
than 71% per cent. :
-- A considerable proportion of treated ties used in Canada in t
years were imported from the United States. The more important
treatable tie woods of Canada are Jack pine, Eastern and Western
hemlock, Douglas fir, Western larch, tamarack, beech, birch and - maple

The cost of tie treatment varies widely according to preservative
used, absorption specified and operating conditions. In present /
can practice cost of creosote treatment ranges from 25¢ to 40c D
tie. A typical cost for treatment involving a fairly heavy absorption
(20 pounds per tie) in 35c. Burnettizing ranges from 10c to 15¢
tie for absorption equivalent to injection of from 1/3 to 1/2 pow
dry zinc chloride per cubic foot of timber. Treatment by mee
combination costs from 15c to 20c per tie. \ ig

Piling - —

Thorough creosote treatment of piling exposed to sctics of x

In general, those woods which are easily.impregnated are most s
able, assuming requisite strength characteristics. Absorption of pr
servative up to 22 pounds per cubic foot are specified for piling trea
ment. Practical results and experimental research have indica
the necessity for careful specifications of the composition of creo
oil for this purpose, to insure a permanent and sufficiently toxic pt
servative. Douglas fir is the Canadian species used most extensive

Idings, as in paper mills, textile mills and tanneries, the nature
the operation is such that conditions are very favorable for wood
cay. In such cases preservative treatment offers a means of using

ler pneumatic pressure. - is in railway cross ties. Our domestic supply of the more durable “!

hardwoods for this service is limited. With a few exceptions the
softwoods available are relatively non-durable in tie service condi-
tions and offer attractive opportunities for economy by preservative
treatment. The railway mileage of Canada is relatively great and
total annual timber consumption for tie requirements is large. Wood
preservation offers one means of reducing these annual requirements. ’

Poles for transmission, telephone and telegraph lines are required
in annually increasing numbers. Already cedar poles of required
sizes are difficult to obtain in many localities. Not only may preserv-
ative treatment be applied with advantage to cedar poles, but such
treatment makes possible the economical use of less durable timbers
for this purpose. :

Wood block paving for city streets, bridges and industrial build-
ing floors is growing in favor. Some Canadian softwoods are well
adapted for this use and an immediate development of this field of
wood preservation may be expected. Structural timber for industrial
buildings should, as far as possible, be insured against decay by
careful selection and handling and, where necessary, by suitable pre-
servative treatment. Consumption of timber in the mining industry
is very considerable and rate of consumption is increasing in some
districts. Although a part of this timber is of comparatively low
grade, there is little doubt but that wood preservation affords a means
of obtaining longer life and ultimately cheaper service from a sub- 4
stantial proportion of timber used in mining operations. Marine
piling and dock timber may almost invariably be treated with ad-
vantage. Trestle and bridge timber forms another large commercial

class of material to which preservative treatment may be applied with
economy. Wherever decay may seriously limit the service life ~
of timber the possibilities of wood preservation should be considered.

From the viewpoint of the timber consumer, the immediate or
ultimate economies which may be realized from the practice of wood
preservation are the most material considerations. From the view-
point of the timber producer, the possibilities of preservation are of
even wider interest. Preservative treatment permits the more effici-
ent use of this product for many purposes, and is thus one of the —
most important factors which will enable structural timber to hold '
its present fields of industrial application and to extend its com-
mercial uses, in the face of increasingly keen competition from other *
structural materials. The producer has a direct and material interest 5
in the promotion of intelligent and economical practice in the use of =
timber for all purposes for which it is fairly adapted.. From the view-

‘point of conservation of forest resources, which in its true sense im-

plies economical utilization, wood preservation is of special signific-
ance. Not only does it offer large possibilities of direct economy in
timber consumption, but it makes possible the use of many relatively
inferior or non-durable wood species for purposes for which they <
could not otherwise be available. Canadian timber resources are rea- _ “a
sonably large but it must be realized that there are some limits ina
variety of the more durable commercial species, which limitations may _
be supplied in part at least, by the practice of wood preservation. “

Urging Better Ontario Forest Fire Protection aa
Twenty-two of the leading Boards of Trade of Ontario, made ik
representations recently to the Ontario Government, urging a re- — a

organization of its forest protection system. Two reforms are speci-
ally asked for in the present system :—first, the reorganization of the
rangers so as to provide supervision and inspection, both in, the head
office and in the field; second, that the Government should make some “4
effort to keep down the loss of timber resulting from settlers’ clear-
ing fires. - 4
For the latter purpose it is urged that a system of “permits ©
should be issued by fire rangers to settlers who wish to burn slash in
the neighborhood of forests. A similar system has been operated “4
successfully in Quebec and British Columbia for several years, with-
out antagonizing the settler. pes
The widespread demand for a general reorganization of Ontario’s as :
forest protection work is being considered sympathetically by the :
Minister of Lands and Forests. The present system has been te: te
tained for many years with very little alteration. One of the objec-
tions taken to it is that the rangers, while sufficient in numbers, are
left greatly to their own devices and do not secure good results. For-._
est ranging, according to modern practice, requires skilled men and. si
skilled overseers. The proposal now is that the forest fighting ser-
vice should be placed under the supervision of a specially qualified
officer of the Department, having authority to develop the present
service until it becomes more in keeping with the requirements of © ab?

How I Have Kept Ahead of Rising Costs

Effective Advertising, Valuable Service to Customers and Careful Credit and
Collection Work the Keys to Success
By H.R. Isherwood

How to fight rising costs is a problem that has been under much
discussion in many of the trade journals and popular magazines of
the present day. I have read a great many of these articles, but have
been surprised to find that most of them are written by jewellery
merchants, hardware men, department store owners, grocers, etc., and
very few of them by men in my own line of business. Yet in many

ve of these articles I have found practical suggestions which I can

apply directly to my own business needs—and I am engaged in sell-
ing lumber and building material at retail.

During each of the fourteen years since I have been in the retail
lumber business, the cost of doing business has been steadily rising.
When things have looked pretty dark, I have sometimes wondered
whether the game was worth the candle. There is nothing original
in that. We have all wondered that. Many of us are still wondering.
‘ What I am going to give in this article is just a plain statement
of facts containing a few “hows” which have helped me fight rising
costs. If they contain helpful suggestions for some of my fellow
merchants—suggestions such as I have received from previous articles
—I shall be happy. The three principles on which I have built my
success are: (1) more effective advertising ; (2) better service to cus-
tomers; (3) an unusually profitable handling of credits and collections.
The third heading referred to above is one which I dealt with at
‘considerable length in the Canada Lumberman of January 15, 1915.

Eight years ago I came to Sawyer, Door County, Wis., to take
over a retail lumber yard. I was told that it was a small yard. It
was. There was just about enough lumber and building material in
stock to have built a good-sized chicken coop. I found that two
competitors were all stocked, besides. I liked the country, thought
I could see possibilities for the building up of a good business, and
decided to stay.

Here I wish to explain the unique position of the town in which

I have built up my business. Sawyer has a population of about
fourteen hundred, and is the fourth ward of Sturgeon Bay, the county
seat—which has a population of about thirty-six hundred. The
Sturgeon Bay ship canal, a half mile wide, divides the ward from its
adopted parent city.
- Sawyer, therefore, suffers the handicap of competing in a measure
with itself, for while it is under the same city government with the
other three wards ofthe city across the canal, it has its own individual
business institutions, post-office, banks, and the like. It has been
said that the only real connection between the two towns is the
drawbridge, and that it costs real money to cross it. This, however,
is an exaggeration, for a large part of my trade comes across that
bridge.

The first step I took was to canvass the county, studying its
needs from a builder’s viewpoint. Next, I stocked the yard to meet
what I thought were the requirements of the community; installed
a-simple cost system, and got a line on my competitors’ methods of
doing business and .general policies.

I was now ready to start advertising—this brings me to the first
of the three methods I have listed. I discovered that beyond the send-
ing out of the proverbial calendar, my competitors did not believe in
advertising, although there are two good newspapers in our town. J

_made up my mind that every time I used an advertisement I would
dominate a page of space. To do this at a small expenditure was a
problem. Finally, I hit upon a plan that worked.

How I Got Attention at Small Expense

Instead of using a half-page spread or more, I designed my adver-
tisements to be seven columns wide, and from three to six inches deep.
I used a strong, distinctive border, a light faced type, easy to read, and
always left plenty of white space. I made my copy educational, terse
and snappy. In a town of five thousand, with two small papers not

- overcrowded with advertisements, a seven column advertisement
stands out like a sore thumb, while the cost is not prohibitive.

When I was seventeen and fresh from the farm, my first boss
impressed upon me a sound principle of salesmanship that applies
to good advertising copy. He said: “Son, your job is to sell lumber,
the kind the buyer ought to have. You can’t sell a man lumber by
talking about crops or the spavins on his horse. Stick to the subject.
When you’re through—quit.”

My copy stuck to the subject. The appeal was concentrated on
one or two lines. Every time I advertised a certain material, I told
exactly why that material was best and cheapest when used for

certain purposes. Again, every advertisement carried a personal

E appeal.

amount of material required for any specific buildings or repair jobs
regardless of whether or not they were regular customers. This si
vice brought us into personal touch with the people in our 1
munity, though it took some time for them to realize that we meant
business, and would give a detailed estimate on quantity and qualit
of material required for any work, with a total cost, without attachin
a string to it. Later, I will tell you what advertising this se vice
developed. an
Our newspaper advertising was backed up by circular letters, s
out at regular intervals, pamphlets (furnished free by manufactur
of building materials), monthly statement inserts, and signs on fen
barns, and billboards throughout the county. My billboards
located on all roads leading into our town, along the railroad tra
and on the lake front. . a
The name of every farmer, “renter,” and property owner in t
county was put on our mailing list, compiled alphabetically on fil
cards. We keep after these names constantly, first on one thing, —
then another; at first, many of them came in out of curiosity—to look ©
us over. They were all new people to us and it was up to mys elf
and the sales force (local people) to demonstrate our business poli cies, ‘
find out their needs, show our stocks, and explain why this or that
material was best and most economical when used for a certain pur-
pose, and finally sell the goods or make a favorable impression for —
future business. F + aca
The first two years our advertising cost just five per cent. of ou i
gross sales. After getting our business firmly established in the minds —
of the people, making them realize we were looking after their interests _
as well as our own, I was able to gradually decrease the advertising —
expenditure until it amounted to one per cent. of the gross sales.
There it has remained for the past three years, while the sales yolume
of the Sawyer Lumber Company has increased five hundred per cent. —
in eight years. pe.
Again. advertising has enlarged our field for usefulness in our —
community. It is eliminating competition. It allows us to operate on
less capital and thereby saves on interest charges, because it creates —
business conditions for us, instead of our being compelled to adapt —
our affairs entirely to existing conditions. More than all that, it
has educated the people in our community to the extent that they now —
believe that when they need lumber, they need us. ‘ ea
Now for “Sawyer Service’”—my second method. That’s what we
call it—“Sawyer Service.” Every merchant has his own ideas of giv-
ing quality, or service, or satisfaction—or whatever name he likes to
use when describing it to his customers. Our strongest sales policy —
is a service policy. Ce
The predominant idea which we instil into the mind of the pur-
chaser is the fitness of the stock under discussion for filling the par-
ticular requirements for which it is to be used. It may be the entire
bill of lumber for a dairy barn, hardwood flooring for one room in —
the home, or rough lumber for a pig-pen. The point which we wish —
to, and do, impress on the purchaser is to buy the best material for —
the specific purpose that he can afford. Every class of material has —
its grades; many have substitutes. After explaining the advantage of
one grade over another, we leave the decision with the customer and
his pocketbook. ; : ie

These Service Plans Increased My Business Twenty Per Cent. _

Now for the service the personal appeal in our advertising ¢
veloped. I said that we offered to give anyone a detailed estima’
of material for any specific building, with a total cost. Few peop
know much about lumber or manufactured building materials, or t
correct uses for them. I am not speaking of carpenters, contracto
or jacks-of-all trades. I am talking about farmers—my customers.

Here is what happened one bright morning, after we had ad-
vertised this service for about a month. A farmer came into my off
and asked me to give him a figure on the material required for t
construction of a large dairy barn. I knew him as a customer
one of my competitors.

Placed an Order Amounting to Fifteen Hundred Dollars

“All right,” I answered, “we will be very glad to give you a de-
tailed estimate, and a total cost. Have you a plan with you?” S
“Why, yes; here it is.” a
Sure enough, there it was—his own rough sketch of the first floor
plan of the barn, on the back of an envelope. The length and the

‘There was nothing to indicate the height, the plan of second-floor
arrangements, the capacity of the hay mows, the grain bins, and so on.
I studied the plan a few minutes and did some tall thinking.
‘nally, I asked, “Now, Mr. Caldron, how do you want your second-
floor plan arranged ; how large a hay mow, and what capacity should
your grain bins have to make them exactly fit your needs?”
“Why,” answered Caldron, “I don’t know. Bill Hawkins’s barn
just suits me, except that I don’t like the way his grain bins are fixed.
If you could take Jenkins’s grain bins and Hawkins’s hay mow an’
combine them into a second-floor plan for me, it would suit me fine.”
That seemed simple.

_ “All right, we can do that.
i “In about three weeks.”

— “When will you be in town again?”

» “Oh, ’bout a week.”

_ That afternoon I took a local architect out in my machine and we
red Bill Hawkins’ farm, ten miles out. Then we drove on to
<ins’ place. When we got back we had driven thirty miles.

‘The architect had the idea of the two barns. I gave him model
1 plans published in book form by one of the best modern barn
ment manufacturers, with orders to draw up a detailed first and
second floor plan, side and front elevation, all on the same scale. This
as done and a detailed estimate of all the building materials required
iched to it, with a total cost. I figured the material and wrote the
cifications. :
Within a week Caldron came in. I took him into my private
ice, got him talking about his farm, cows, crops, and the like,
ally getting around to the barn. Then I flashed the plans on him,
scaled correctly and marked in every detail. His eyes popped out
and he exclaimed, “For goodness sake, how did you do it?”
“That,” I replied, “is part of our service for our customers. These
plans are accurate, ready for blue printing for your contractor. They
are your property and will not cost you a cent, providing you buy
the material for your barn from us. Here are the specifications in
detail and the total cost. Now, frankly, Mr. Caldron, I have specified
the very best material on the market, for portions of that barn, if it
is to be built right, require the best.

How soon do you expect to build?”

_ By Explaining Just What I was Selling, I Won This Man’s Trade
“Tn other places, not so important, I have specified just common
cheap-grade lumber, where it will do just as good work as a higher
grade. We will make any changes in the plans which you may desire.
Before you decide on this bill, however, I want you to take these
plans and specifications and have some other lumber dealer figure
the material required. Get his figures on the same materials specified
». Then we will be in a position to talk business. I won’t lower
price one cent, nor will I charge you for my plans. We will be
d to have your business if we can serve you satisfactorily.”
_ He said never a word, but got up and walked out. Remember,
vas my competitor’s customer. Later on I found that he had been
to me to find out how my system of giving advance estimates

___ Two weeks later Caldron came back. He said, “Mr. Isherwood,

I have got a lower figure than yours on my barn.”

“Well, Mr. Caldron, are the figures given on the same grade of

material while building, you can ’phone me, I can check it on the plans,
and send it right out.”

He looked at me a minute and said:

“All right, Mr. Isherwood, you’re on. You have done me a big
service. I will write you a check for five hundred dollars now. Ship
the material right away.”

The bill was for eleven hundred dollars, and extras ordered later
by Caldron ran four hundred more. The plans cost me thirty dollars
and a little head work. :

Right there an idea took hold of me. “Why,” I asked myself,
“not make a business of furnishing accurate working plans and speci-
fications for any building free of charge to customers buying materials
for the building from us? I can take their rough sketches or ideas,
have them worked out in detail by the architect, write the specifica-
tions myself, which will give me the opportunity to specify (as I did
in the barn), the best material for the right place. It will help other
people just as it did Caldron. I told Caldron it was a part of our ser-
vice, and by jinks, from today on, it is.”

How I Got Useful Data Free of Charge

I visited the architect and laid my plans before him. He was
interested, and agreed to take charge of the work for a stated fee. He
gave me innumerable files of house plans, ranging from a few hundred
dollars up to twenty-five hundred dollars. Next, I wrote the manu-
facturers of the many different building materials I handled, outlined
my general plan of operation and its purpose, and suggested that they
send me samples of their materials, so that | might have everything
pertaining to a building complete in a tangible form to present to the
prospective builder.

I Had Little Trouble in Getting Valuable Samples for Nothing
The response from the manufacturers was immediate. Every

‘ mail and express for weeks brought bricks, samples of stained varnish,

painted wood for exterior and interior work, linoleums, wall boards,
miniature barn equipment samples, cements; in short, samples of
every practical material used in the construction of farm buildings.
The manufacturers flooded me with their finest samples and literature.
To display this material required a large room. To make the material
valuable it had to be displayed attractively.

Wg were just building a new office. Our architect designed one
room for our “service department,” for the display of sample materi-
als, and a drafting room. This room was turned over to contractors
and prospective builders. A door, which visitors may close, opens
into my private office. There is an outside entrance opening on the
street for those not wishing to pass through our general offices.

I make it a point with every prospective customer or builder to
assist with the plans and specifications. I endeavor to keep economy
in sight all the time; in fact, I make the specifications for the builder.
This is a great satisfaction to my customers. Not only has it brought
me results that I could not have obtained in any other way, but it
has also made my clients “satisfied customers.” This service has
increased my sales volume twenty per cent. annually for the past
three years. Fifty per cent. of the expense of this department is
charged to advertising; fifty per cent. to the general operating expense,
or “office overhead.”

Just one thing more: I anticipate that merchants in larger towns
may say “That idea may be practical in a farming community, but I
don’t believe it would work in a city.”

Door county has some of the most attractive summer resorts on
Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Every year from twenty to twenty-
five thousand tourists come to the county. A number of southerners
have built beautiful summer‘residences along the shores, and many
of them have taken advantage of our service department from time to
time with apparent satisfaction.

Last fall a wealthy business man from Kentucky came to me
with plans for a shore home. He wanted the building done during the >

winter. We had built for several of his friends.
He had his own plans; we wrote the specifications.
the spot where he wanted his home to stand. “
This spring he moved into his new home. It was complete in
every detail. He had not seen it during any stage of the construc-
tion, though he seemed delighted with the finished product. I could
cite dozens of similar cases.

Lumbermen Join to Stop Forest Fires
Forest Protection Principles Practiced by Timber Owners in St. Maurice Valley

Produce Good Results at Low Cost
By Henry Sorgius

HE question of forest protection as we see it in the province of
Quebec seems to evolve itself in the saying, “In matters
where rival concerns cannot outdo each other by competi-
tion they will all derive benefits by getting together.”

Co-operative forest protection is no longer in the experimental
stage. We are now able to look at records of the past four years
and draw definite conclusions. Comparing these records with those
of many years ago and analyzing the former systems of forest pro-
tection, the cause of success of the present system becomes obvious.
Countless miles of blackened hills and barren rock are mute witnesses
to the fact that lumber companies, although desirous at heart of keep-
ing their timber lands intact, considered it an economy to make the
smallest outlay possible in making some kind of a poor show at for-
est protection.

The men employed as fire rangers were seldom employed for that
alone, nor were they held to answer to anyone regularly for their
work. Dam keepers were expected continually to “keep the dam” and
also “keep the fires” for an indefinite number of miles around; sim-
ilarly with cache keepers who are not supposed to ever leave a cache;
some logging foremen were often expected to attend to their work
and at the same time scare away the fires a bit by being appointed
nominal fire ranger. The drive clerks could also be requisitioned
to make this “paper” fire protection look like something real. No
explanation is needed here. Men who had some main object to attend
to did not usually exert themselves in work which did not interest

them very much and which, at certain times, might prove most an-

noying.

: When fires chanced to occur near at hand, by the time the sup-
posed ranger had finished thinking about it, it was usually of such size
that he decided it was too big to be extinguished and probably felt
some relief in studying the clouds to see if it would rain soon, in
which case it would not be necessary to hire him anyway.

Some regular rangers also existed, of course. It must be remem-
bered, however, that most lumber companies have their timber lands
in patches in different localities, so that to protect all a very unequal
division was necessary. Some men had to be placed in small isolated
sections of good timber here and there, who, although not having
enough to do, still were necessary. Under such circumstances the
cost of ranging really became heavy. Again, as would naturally be
the case under such circumstances, some companies were not con-
cerned deeply enough to do any protection at all, and in pure self-
defence for their own limits the companies who did protect had to
look after the adjacent land of the lax concerns as well as their own,
and bear the extra cost.

The Working Out of Co-operation
By a co-operative system as used by the St. Maurice Forest Pro-
tective Association, Limited, we have first a multitude of small areas
and parcels of timber lands joined together to form one territory,
and the most efficient ways of protecting the whole are considered.
The countless division lines which twist and turn to divide the

timber land of each company are no longer existent for the organiza-

tion of the association within its own boundaries. The whole ques-
tion of efficient service is well planned out. All water courses and
other features of the topography are taken advantage of in order to
obtain one harmonious patrolling system. Certain tracts of land may
belong to two or three different companies and yet be patrolled by the
same men. In this way the cost has been reduced. Again, the men
are employed to do nothing but look after the interest of forest pro-
tection. Every phase of the work is discussed and explained to them
and the fire ranger becomes a sort of specialist in his particular work,
incidentally learning to consider the one great factor—hunian nature.

The general organization of the St. Maurice Forest Protective
Association, Limited, may be summed up briefly so as to get an idea
of the method by which it has been found possible to give an efficient
service at the low cost of one-quarter of a cent per acre, which is the
assessment made upon all members of the association. The money
obtained from this is used to cover the salaries of the rangers, equip-
ment and other general expenses.

The cost of extra labor employed in fighting fires is partly paid
by the Quebec Government and partly by a special assessment on
all the members.

The whole territory under the association is divided up into divi-
sions, each in charge of one inspector and the divisions in turn are
cut up into districts for each ranger or two rangers. The inspector’s
duty is to oversee generally the work of all the rangers in his division.

New shops have been erected so that most of the repair

The interest of the association in the territory in his charge is e
trusted to his care. He is expected to keep close watch on the w
everything is going on so as to avoid all confusion among the
and to arrange their beats so as to give the most attention to localit
which require it most. By continually travelling throughout his d
trict he sees the condition in every part. It is his duty to kee
touch with all people in his district; to visit these people and
the useful information possible. His diplomacy is often called up
as he must keep everyone well disposed, if possible, and at the sa
time stick to certain fixed principles. ‘

Duties of the Fire Rangers

The districts of the rangers vary in size according to the |
hazard in the various localities, and the industrial operations, w
may change from one region to another. Briefly, the ranger’s du

The rangers are made to realize that success may be hop
only by educating the people. Friends are more useful than ene
By taking men in the proper way it is often possible to make tt
understand the good cause for which all should work,

In settled districts the fire rangers are entrusted with the deli
task of supervising the burning of slash. The laws of the pro
heretofore were so lax and so seldom enforced that the making of
land was the greatest menace to the forest. The Quebec Goy
ment has, however, brought about several amendments to its 1
and thanks to this step, we can now hope that the vexatious problem
of slash burning is about solved. The permit system of slash burr
ing is now used. All settlers must first obtain a permit, then bi
their slash at their own risk, under the supervision of the ranger.
has been most difficult to get the public to conform to this law, as
went “against the grain.” People were sorry to see the old system
stopped where they burned at any old time and in any way, conveni-
ent to them. It mattered little if millions of dollars went up in
smoke to prepare a small piece of ground for the planting of a
cents’ worth of potatoes or other crop. The present change for the
better has been brought about, thanks to the great help afforded by
men of intelligence and foresight. The parish priests have done a
great deal in this respect. — t ] ie

Many means were employed to advertise. Church criers were
made to read the laws and inform the people as to slash burning; c
cular letters were sent around and interesting pamphlets were d
tributed, earnestly putting forth the cause and demanding the h
of the people. Settlers’ fires have been reduced in a most surprisi
manner by this method; i.e., 151 settlers’ fires in 1913 reduced to 41
in 1915. The patrolling in settled districts is done with a horse and
rig. The ranger becomes familiar with all his people and keeps we TT
informed as to when and where there will be slash to burn. Having
probably burnt very many slashes he becomes more or less expert
it and can help the farmers materially by having them piled and fir
with maximum results and minimum danger and trouble. Patrolli

chief duty outside of the general principles of creating human inte
consists in keeping an eye on fishermen, drivers, jobbers and y
travellers. In damp weather they cut and clear portages to facili
communcation, and make the transportation of men and su
quicker when fires might occur at other times. They also locate h
points suitable for look-outs or mere observation points and loc
prospective telephone lines. The look-outs are placed, as far as”
sible, so that while the ranger travels around to see people he
also obtain a frequent view of all his territory. There are at pre
twenty-three permanent look-out stations, beside many other ob
tion points. At different places in each district certain tools have’
stored so as to be readily available in case of fire. These consi
about thirty-six implements per cache, consisting of shovels,
buckets, mattocks, etc. sa

Patrolling the Railway

There is also the patrolling along the railway right-of-way w!
is done by means of motor speeders. These machines cover 40 to
miles twice a day keeping track of all trains, inspecting smoke sta
and other parts of the locomotive on their beat. This part of
rolling is very efficiently carried on by four cars, with a spa
for the inspector or to replace any one which may be out of

machines are now done by the association itself. Among the innova-
‘tions of the year might be mentioned the trying out of a new pump,
with 1,500 feet of hose, weighing only 130 pounds. A very substantial
addition is expected to. our telephone system, to cost $1,500, which
has been set aside specially for this purpose.

In conclusion it might be remarked that the greatest economic
‘problem before the lumber companies today is the saving of their
‘source of income from fires. The very fact that it has taken so long
the companies to get together and form a strong protective or-

Retail Buying

S : ‘

Which is the more important end of a retail lumber business, the
buying or the selling of the stock? I would like to hear from readers
‘of the Canada Lumberman about this. I do not expect any of them
‘can settle the question definitely and for all time, but I would like
‘to see their views in print, because they would be valuable to me
and other retailers.

_ The reason I bring this matter up just now is that I have read
articles about salesmanship in a great many trade journals. If I
~ could remember them all I would know enough about selling lumber
to be the best retailer in the business, but I have seen so little about
‘buying retail stocks that probably if I depended upon what I have
read on this line, I would make a failure of it in no time.
I don’t mean to say that a great deal of importance should not be
attached to the matter of selling, bit I think it is given too much con-
sideration as compared with the buying end; in fact the buying end
has been neglected. If you get down to the bottom of the matter and
hunt up statistics you will find that more failures in business are
* i to poor buying than to poor salesmanship. In fact a prominent
authority, whose reports I read not long ago, stated that a great
‘majority of business failures can be traced directly to unwise buying.
If we were all fully efficient as salesmen, perhaps we could carry
‘much of it and I think we ought to give the subject a good deal more
“study than we do. I believe I can speak for a majority of retailers in
this connection and say that this feature of their business is not as
well looked after as it should be. ;
Talking of the good salesman being able to carry a certain amount
of handicap in the way of poor buying, let us look at the other side
of the picture and figure out what kind of profits he could make if,
instead of a handicap, he had behind him at all times a stock of good
Jumber which had been well bought. We are accustomed to hearing
people say, “well bought is half sold,” and there is no doubt about
this, but poorly bought stock, on the same line of reasoning, must be—
in proportion to the bad judgment exercised in its purchase—unsale-
at a profit. In other words, it costs so much to sell poorly
ought stock, that even if it seems to be something of a bargain in
price, its quality, or the fact that the market does not call for it, may
render it a liability rather than an asset.

MA a” Not a Really Difficult Matter

_ There really ought not to be much trouble about successful buy-
ing of retail lumber stocks. They are to a great extent staple lines.
ould be possible for a retailer of fair experience to form a pretty
r idea how much of each important line of stock he can move in
and to add to or subtract from it according to his information
general trade conditions in his district. The quantity problem
y not the hard one to handle. He may make a mistake here
i there and lay in too much or too little of one kind of stock or
er, but in the long run his experience should prevent him from
g enough mistakes of this kind to have any appreciable effect
1is profits. | ees, Sean
here the retailer is most likely to make his mistake is in giv-
00 much attention to prices and not enough to quality. The
lency of the present age, from a business point of view, is to ever-
gly be on the look out for bargains. A retailer looking at dif-
ent quotations on stock which he needs, is apt naturally to give
+ to the firm whose quotations are lowest and to do so in many
ithout satisfying himself properly about the relative qualities
stocks. I have come to the conclusion myself that by giving
always to the men who quote the lowest prices I would quickly
self out of business. It is only once in a while that the lower
goes along with equal quality. Values are what should count.
I am buying stock the idea I have in mind is not whether the
is the lowest I can get, but whether there is a fair profit for me
x the best quality of stock I can get at the price that the

ganization shows that the education is just as badly needed by the
lumberman himself. Co-operation between the companies has done,
and will do, wonders yet. There must be co-operation between every
different section of each company and the association, by raising a
public sentiment and teaching the right and wrong of the matter to
people, more by gentle persuasion than by force. We may hope
that the day will yet come when, instead of looking the other way
and walking faster when they see a fire, men will rather turn out of
their way to try and put it out.

ticular line of stock that he is thinking of buying, should be able to
tell, almost off hand whether he can dispose of it at a profit.

Quality a Better Selling Point than Price

The point I am trying to make is that the first thing to do is to
be sure about the quality, then the prices may be compared. Do
not compare the price first, or you may forget about the quality, and
that would be fatal. Lower quotations almost always carry with
them lower values and are really not so profitable a buy as better
values at higher prices. Moreover, there is one’s reputation always
to be considered. If you are always watching for a chance to buy
bargain stock you will make a reputation for yourself among your
customers as a man who keeps only a medium, or even a comparatively
low grade of stock. It is worth while, even from an advertising point
of view, to make sure that the stock you buy is good, that is to say,
that it will fill the requirements of your customers satisfactorily.

Every customer, as he walks into a retail lumber yard, has two
ideas sticking out in his mind. One is the use to which he is going
to put the lumber he buys, the other is the price he will have to pay.
If you think the matter over closely you will find that your best
customers have not much confidence in their ability to beat you down
in price, but every one of them has a clear idea that he will insist
upon getting the best quality of stock he possibly can. Quality is
the retailer’s best talking point and he should never forget it, par-
ticularly when he is buying his stocks. The dealer who has only
price to use as a selling point is at a great disadvantage compared
with the dealer who can talk proudly about the quality of his goods.

Especially when competition is keen, will quality talk carry much
weight. If your competitor is giving you a bad time of it, getting
many of your best customers, do not worry so much about the price
of the stock you sell; do not try to cut prices, but try to give better
value than he does. Make sure that your stocks are the kind your
customers want and they will not be so ready to tell you that they
can get them cheaper at the other yard. The only way to do this is
to post yourself as fully as possible about the buying end of your
business, and then make a practice of giving it equal if not more
attention than the selling end. :

The Cameron & Genoa Mills Shipbuilders, Limited, which was
recently organized, has leased two acres of tidewater land on the
inner harbor near Point Ellice Bridge, Victoria, B. C., on which they
will locate a yard for the construction of wooden lumber vessels.
At the back of the organization are Messrs. J. O. and D. O. Cameron,,
of the Cameron Lumber Company, and the Genoa Bay Lumber Com-
pany. The property leased has a water frontage of 350 feet and the
lease is for two years, at a rental of $100 per month. Shipbuilding
operations are to be commenced at once and to be carried on con-
tinuously. Provision is also made for extension of the lease for a
year. The company anticipate that 15 wooden vessels will each have
a carrying capacity of 1,500,000 feet of lumber and will cost $120,000,
exclusive of machinery. The machinery equipment will bring the
total cost up to $170,000 each. It is planned to lay down two ships
at once and to employ 300 men when the work starts. .

Editor, Canada Lumberman:— Sawyer, Wis.

Your Annual Number is most interesting and it is certainly
one that will attract a great deal of attention. You deserve much
credit for the advertising in your journal, and the way you have
made the display in general. The various articles are of great
interest to me. I note that the ideas, not only from the retailers,

but from the wholesalers of Canada, are leading those of the States.

Yours very truly,

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

Knots in Wood Defined

Definitions of knots in wood
as adopted by the American So-
ciety for Testing Materials are as
follows:

Knots in timber are classified
as round and spike in form, and
as sound, encased, loose and un-
sound in quality.

A round knot is either oval or
circular.

A spike knot is one sawn in a
lengthwise direction; the mean
or average width being consid-
ered in measuring these knots.

A sound knot is solid across
its face, and as hard as the wood
surrounding it; it may be either
red or black, and is so fixed by
growth or position that it will
retain its place in the piece of
timber.

An encased knot is one whose
growth rings are not inter-woven
and homogeneous’ with the
erowth rings of the peace it is in.
The encasement may be partial
or complete; if inter-grown par-
tially or fixed by growth or posi-
tion that it will retain its place
in the piece, it is considered a
sound knot; if completely inter-
grown on one face, it is a water-
tight knot.

A loose knot is one not firmly
held in place by growth or posi-
tion.

An unsound knot is one not as
hard as the wood surrounding it,
or having a hole in it.

Review of Current Trade Conditions

Ontario
It would be a difficult matter to give anything like an adequate
Con-
ditions seem to vary so much from day to day and from place to
place. That they cannot be summed up in a description, unless one
is content with saying that the trade is spasmodic. On the whole,
however, when one considers the numerous adverse factors that exist,
the average volume of trade is satisfactory, and so are the prices.
Wholesalers report conditions as above, and tell also of more
than the usual amount of trouble in making collections. As to prices,
all lines of stock are fairly firm. Dry hemlock is off the market.
Shingles are firm.and so are all lines of B. C. stock. There are no
important tendencies to note which would lead to a drop in prices.
Manufacturers in northern Ontario report a fairly active demand. A
week or two ago United States buyers visiting north shore firms were
paying what was considered to be rather fancy prices, namely, about
one dollar per thousand feet higher than the prices of a year ago.

_In connection with such sales, moreover, the buyers, in some cases,

have agreed to pay each month 95 per cent. of the price of the stock
cut.

The shell box trade continues on an active basis. Extensive
tenders were called for by the Imperial Munitions Board, closing on
June 6th. When these are awarded they will create a good demand
for shell box stock. The tenders referred to are for 750,000 eighteen-
pounder shrapnel boxes and they will require between five and seven
million feet of hardwoods. and from ten to fifteen million feet of
softwoods. The contracts are to be allotted between Ontario and
Quebec firms.

Eastern Canada

Continued improvement is reported in the trade situation at Mon-
treal and throughout Quebec Province. Building operations are in-
creasing in many parts of the province. The new contracts for shell
boxes will cause much activity in box plants. Exports to the United
Kingdom have been increasing, as more space has been available on
vessels and the freight rates have been showing a tendency to drop.
Space has recently been secured at 375 shillings, whereas, a short
time ago it was hard to find even at 400 shillings. This is one of the
most encouraging trade developments that have occurred in many
months.

The retail situation in connection with eastern spruce at Boston
continues rather uncertain. Yard owners are still cautions about in-
creasing their stocks of spruce frames and are not making any ex-
tensive purchases for future requirements. A considerable consump-
tion, however, is in progress for building operations, and the winter’s

~cut of logs will not last out the present year at the present rate of

sawing. The current quotations on spruce frames is about $27, and
some business is reported at $26.50. There is a better demand for
random than for frames, and current quotations are:—2 x 3, 2 x 5
and 2 x 6, $21 to $22; 2 x 4, $22 to $22.50; 2 x 8, $25 to $25.50; 2 x 10,
$26.50 to $27; 2 x 12, $27.50 to $28. Enquiry for spruce boards is
good and prices are steady. Covering boards, 5 inches and up wide,
8 feet and up long, bring $21 to $22; matched boards, 10, 12, 14, 16 feet,
are selling at $25 to $26.

A satisfactory demand for hardwoods is reported at Boston and
prices are firm. Current quotations on first and seconds, one in., are:
basswood, $44 to $46; maple, $43 to $45; red birch, $57 to $59; sap
birch, $47 to $49; white ash, $56 to $60. A considerable volume of
business is being transacted in hemlock at Boston and quotations are
about steady at $1 or more above the prices of last winter.

There is a fair business in white cedar shingles at Boston. White
cedar extras are selling at $3.50 and some good brands are bringing
$3.60. Clears are quoted at $3.20 to $3.30. Red cedar shingles are

‘rather scarce. Very good lines are bringing $4.

Great Britain

The volume of import of stocks of lumber to London is com-
paratively light. Considerable quantities of wood goods are still
leaving the docks, but otherwise there is not much movement. Values
remain about the same as at our last report and are not showing
much tendency to advance, as the amount of ordinary business is
remarkably small. In fact the trade is practically marking time. The
restrictions upon the imports of floorings and ply wood have been
removed. Deliveries at London docks for the week ending May
13th amounted to 4,155 standards as compared with 5,280 standards
during the corresponding week of last year. At Foy, Morgan & Com-

United States

In spite of the fact that everyone in the United States has |
taking intense interest in political developments connected with
nomination of candidates for president, the business situation is a
ently unaffected. In normal years the opposite would be the case.
merce and industry, however, are this year enjoying abnormal z
ity which has not been reduced by the political situation. A re
report by Bradstreets says :—‘Trade in furniture at the principal
ducing centres for the elapsed portion of the year has been
per cent. heavier than that done in the corresponding time last.
Railway cars are in better supply; traffic is the heaviest ever kn
at this season, and western roads are said to be preparing to s
large sums the next twelve months.” At present, however, the
road car building trade is marking time to a considerable extent. (
foundries have bought extensive stocks which are sufficient to
care of their operations for the time being. Railroads are showing
a growing tendency to return to the more general use of wo
cars. An important announcement from New York states tha
a result of the clearing up of the congestion in eastern terminals
embargoes that have been in effect on railroads are likely to be lifted
within the next few days. This will make it possible to forward ship-
ments of lumber that have been held up for a long time. _ Sie

The building situation continues quite favorable, particularly it
New England. With the removal of the railroad embargoes it is «
pected that building activity will show quite an increase. In
middle west also there is a large volume of building under way

Further improvement is reported in the statistical position o
southern yellow pine industry. For the week ending May 26;
further curtailment of production was reported and shipments fr
152 mills showed an increase of 3.11 per cent. A continuation of
improvement will put the yellow pine market in better shape.
present, however, the yellow pine trade is far from satisfactory
will stand a lot of improvement. af

Reports in regard to the hardwood situation show a percep
decrease in stocks on hand at manufacturing points, and a very
factory situation in regard to orders on hand. Northern produce
points report that the hardwood market is especially strong, stoe
in shipping condition showing a continually increasing shortage.
good demand for hemlock continues and prices hold firm.

Market Correspondence

St. John Trade Suffering from High Ocean Freights

St. John, N.B., June 8.—(Special to The Canada Lumberman).—
The market at the port of St. John stands in a very strange condition.
Shipments of lumber both to Great Britain and the United States are
far from satisfactory. There is the same old story to tell in so far
as shipments to Great Britain are concerned, viz., no tonnage. What
the future will bring forth is hard to tell; freights have been climbing
month by month, and the end does not seem to be in sight, 380 shill-
ings being recently paid from St. John to British ports. The market
for British goods seems to be as good as it has been, even though
freights are rising. After the freight, insurance and risk have been
added, the purchaser of deals has to pay a price heretofore unprece-
dented. Asan example, £8 to £9 was formerly a fair price for spruce
deals at Liverpool, while to-day, £28 to£30 is an average price. he
seller on this side of the water is not reaping the harvest, but
the steamships. To-day, deals cannot be disposed of at St. John, as
the English buyers refuse to contract ahead for any further supplies,
claiming that they prefer to wait until they are in great need rather
than buy and ship’on the high rates of freight, for if they were left
with stock on hand at the end of the war, paying, as they have. the
very high rate of freight, they would not be able to get a price which
would mean anything but a loss. No Government orders are being
placed at the present time. This time last year a great many orders
were on hand and being filled for the allies. If the war keeps up, no
doubt more supplies will be needed. It is hard to-day to make prices
for deals, but they would no doubt be as good as a month ago, viz.,
$17.50 to $18 per M. for ordinary specification,viz., 50 per cent. 9in.
x 3in. and up, balance 7in. and 8 in. x 3.in., with $2 less for 6 in. x 2 in.
and $2.50 less for 3 in. x 4 in. to 5 in., and 4th quality, deal ends 2/3
regular. There is really no stir in the market and few vessels are
loading.

The American market is not in nearly as good shape as it was
two weeks ago. The base price of schedules at Boston has dropped
to $26 per M. ft., with, it is understood, further concessions being
offered. No enquiries from that market are now coming to St. John.

Laths are also weakening, but not to the same extent as long
lumber. It is impossible to quote f.o.b. prices for American stock
at this port, but we do not believe they would average much over
$17 per M. for good specification.

The pine market at St. John is pretty well depleted, so far as
stock is concerned. ‘The West India trade has been good, as well as
the American call for box pine, and therefore the market is well
cared for, especially low grade boards.

Shingles remain steady, but no great stocks of logs are held here,
and outside shingles control the market. The drives in the main
river are coming along well since the last rise of water a few days
ago. Rafting operations are being carried along by the St. John
River Log Driving Co., having started some ten days ago.

Improvement Continues at Montreal

Montreal, June 9.—(Special to The Canada Lumberman).—
The better conditions in local trade noted in our last issue have con-
tinued. The building reports from all-over the province indicate
more activity, and, for the first time this year, the permits for Mon-
treal show an increase, taking them month by month. Those for the
month of May totalled $767,069, a gain of $237,902.. For the year,
the value was $1,686,294, or a decrease of $708,700. During the last
fortnight some large building plans have been announced, including
two important theatres and an extensive industrial plant. The imme-
diate outlook is therefore brighter.

Box makers anticipate more business. The Purchasing Com-
mission asked for tenders for 800,000 shell boxes, principally of the
4-round 18-potinder class, and tenders were sent in on the 6th inst.
There are again complaints at the low prices tendered by some firms,
who apparently omit to figure overhead and other charges in their
bids. This tends to reduce prices to such a level as to preclude a
living profit to any box maker.

Only a small business is passing in dimension timber.

A considerable amount of lumber is being shipped to the United
Kingdom. The space available continues to be fairly satisfactory,
considering the shipping situation, and exporters are sending all the
lumber possible. Freights, too, have a tendency to drop, 375 s. per
standard having been paid as against 400s., at which space was re-
cently taken. The arrival of the boats is rather irregular, thus in-
conveniencing shippers, but this is only a minor consideration when

Saw Mills Likely to Curtail Output 4

The West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, in a report
Seattle, Wash., under date of June 3, says:—Apparently infl
by surplus stocks and price concessions of competing woods i
portant selling territory, West Coast lumber is showing its first
of market instability in many months.

Changed conditions were quickly reflected in this week’s ti
barometer of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, which
cated new business nearly eighteen per cent. under production;
shipments nearly seven per cent. under production. — 7

Notwithstanding this showing in the percentage column, t
actual volume of business is considered fair in view of the fact
railroads generally are out of the market until after the June
ings, that country trade is always light during crop work; and
the well-organized larger buyers in the principal lumber ma
in the pursuit of their own particular- problems, are excha
stocks, rather than making new purchases. ;

Word has reached the coast that fully half of the enormous yel
low pine capacity of the south is decreasing cut and surplus stocks
shutting down the mills one day a week. fe

There seems to be a growing but unorganized sentiment in O
gon and Washington that a similar curtailment is likely to work itse
up in the fir district, during the months of June and July, not ir
ing the customary week or ten days’ shutdown early in July for n
season overhauling of plants and equipment. Ja 7

One or two larger operators have even suggested the possibil
that rather than attempt to cut lumber at less than cost of manufa
ture, they will close their mills until market conditions are more
isfactory. : =¢ 3

In addition to the general feeling favorable to decreased prodt
tion during the off season, the waterfront strikes are having a te
dency to restrict mill operations. ia

Charter Rates Likely to Continue High

V.S. Hodges, manager of the lumber department of Hind, Ro
& Company, San Francisco, in a recent interview expressed the o:
ion that the present high charter rates for the shipment of lum
from Pacific Coast ports are bound to keep up for some time after
war. In fact they might be expected to continue for a year aft
the close of the war. Only a few sailing vessels were now open
charter next year, Mr. Hodges said. At present it looked as tho
freights would go still higher. The Hind, Rolph fleet numbers
sailing vessels and all are fixed with cargo for the next year, or
next year and a half. During the past year the ownership of t
lumber sailing vessels of the Pacific Coast has greatly cha

Why Architects and Engineers Want Branded Timber
By Frank D. Chase*

There are two words in the modern English vocabulary which
one feels are somewhat overworked. One is “efficiency” and the other

“standardization.” The fundamental in this question of branding

tier becomes a question of standardization. I wish first to men-

tion one or two other industries briefly and then let us see where
lumber stands in comparison.

Steel: It is only a few years ago since structural steel came to
be used to any extent. The first steel structures were built less than
fifty years ago. In this short span of years the steel industry has
become one of the great industries of this;country, and structural steel

is a standardized product, so much so. that to write a specification
covering structural steel it is only necessary to say that it shall be
in accordance with Manufacturers’ Standard Specifications, as per last
revision, and give the grade or kind of steel desired. Of course, the
architect sometimes writes ten or fifteen pages of specifications in
order properly to impress his client, but it is all covered in those six
or seven words.

The manufacturer sees to it that the steel manufactured is up
to this specification, and does this by means of extensive chemical
and physical tests obtained in his laboratories. And when we buy
_ steel from the jobber or manufacturer we can get a record of every
i piece of that steel, together with its physical and chemical properties.

It is frequently desirable to have steel tested and inspected in addi-

tion to manufacturers’ tests, but it is becoming less and less neces-

sary to do so. The chemital and physical tests of steel are not simple
nor inexpensive, but it was essential that some protection be afforded
the purchaser.

Cement is now being manufactured at the rate of approximately
one million barrels a day in this country and the manufacturers of
cement have standardized their product so that we can buy cement

done by the manufacturers, who comply with the rigid specifications

of the American Society for Testing Materials and the Railway Main-

tenance of ‘Way Association. It is not considered necessary to-day

He
knows that his cement may go into'a reinforced concrete building

' ‘which will be tested after construction and he can not afford to risk
his good name on a product that is not up to the standard set by
himself as well as his competitors.

Creating a Standard Reputation

Take a building material which one might imagine above all

' others would be subject to the uncertainties of scores of manufacturers

' —roofing felt: The Barrett Manufacturing Company, has, through

standardization and publicity, created a national reputation, as well

as market, for its brands of felt and pitch. It rarely happens that I

design a building of large roof area that the owner does not ask me
regarding the merits of the Barrett specifications.

Brick and other clay products have been tested by college and
other laboratories until their capabilities are clearly defined, and all
building codes are very definite in the way in which brick, tile and
other clay products may be used.

You have heard, perhaps, the little story of the old Scotch woman
who was going to have a home built for her, and her architect showed
her the sketches and described to her the beautiful stained glass
windows which were to be provided. She remonstrated and said that

_ she did not want any stained glasses; she wanted just the plain, clear
This is what is said of lumber.
We want lumber just the way the Lord made it, and He made lots
of good lumber, too. There are no more physical difficulties in the

‘lt

* way of grading and classifying lumber than there are in classifying
| and grading cotton, wool, tea, coffee or any other products of the
"7 soil. Wheat has forty-four grades and kinds on the Chicago market,

and every-natural product has a classification which requires an expert

to identify it.

I could continue this list indefinitely ; it is not necessary. I am
simply trying to prove that all products, manufactured or otherwise,
are made by and sold on clearly defined and easily recognized stand-
ards. The standardizing is, I believe, the foundation which must be
laid for the creation of a market for lumber or for other products, and

no national market for lumber or any other product will be developed

until this foundation is made.
corner stone of its foundation, to carry my architectural simile a little
further, is the branding of lumber.

Why the Architect Wants Branded Lumber
You wonder why the architect is interested in a market for lum-
ber or in standardizing to the:extent that you have a national mar-
| ‘ket, a market where a man can go and buy a stick of lumber, or a
-~_ earload, or a trainload, as easily as he can buy a carload of steel or
of cement.

The architect is interested in this, aid this is the first big
why we want branded lumber. He wants to be able to go into

that he is going to get it. If we want a cake of soap we do

Ivory soap or Pear’s soap, or some other soap. That soap is bra

reasons for making this building of timber construction,

a point today where we will not buy anything unless it is advertised.
See if that is not true in your own experience.

If this branding and labeling of producer were done, and it is
being done, you know, by some, the architect and engineer is not
going to take any chance on something he does not know anything
about when he can get for the same price a material that he has every
reason to believe is what is claimed for it. ‘It is simply working along
the lines of least resistance. Usually we pay more for these things,
and the customer is perfectly willing to pay the extra price because he
thinks he is getting more for his money.

When my client asks me about. the Barrett specification roof it
is the easiest thing in the world for me to say that that roof is laid
literally on square “miles of roof service. It is a national product, the
result of years of experience of an enormous corporation thet had
developed this to the highest degree of efficiency. Barrett is a good

_ roof, but I do not always use it.

There will be lots of good brands of lumber on the mart:et, and
if it costs more we will use it when its use is justified, and if is going
to be a very happy day for the architect and engineer when he knows
that branded lumber which he specifies will be used. And more than

such a brand is perhaps a little better than somebody’s elve, and every-
thing being equal, he would like to have him use it. hat day is
rapidly coming, I am very glad to believe, and when it does we will
not have any more buildings with dry rotted timbers taken out at the

end of three or four years, buildings that cost too much, buildings,

are inadequate for their service. We will design timber build-
as we do steel, know what we want and know what we get, and
will get it, and the producers and manufacturers will have the pride
of manufacturing. I should dislike to be in a business where I had, to
turn out a finished product that could not bear my name.

There are a great many lines of manufacturers which produce
their standard goods. The: + goods are sold on their merit and on
the strength of the name be. nd them. Lots of these manufacturers,
too, produce large quantities of unnamed materials and products that
they never make any menticn of. I do not believe they derive any
great pride or pleasure from the production of such goods and I
believe there is not a manufacturer here today who would not be
proud to put his name on every single stick of timber that goes out
of his mill. It makes no difference whether a man produces a stick
of timber or a beautiful paintinz; the product is the result of his labor
and deserves recognition.

Service and the Part it Plays
By W. J. Kessler

Service is unquestionably a factor of vital importance in securing
and retaining trade. The touchstone is used to ascertain the purity
of gold and silver. The touchstone to business success is “service.”
Service today forms the “big idea” that predominates throughout the
most progressive institutions. Great public service corporations, of
whatsoever calling, have been built up on “service.”

A certain western retail lumber dealers’ association maintains a
department of “community development.” It teaches the farmers in
its territory how to live better and how to improve the surroundings
of their homes and towns. It is not a wildly altruistic scheme, but
is based upon sound knowledge that improvement in living condi-
tions means improvement in trade. The lumber dealer is one of the
first to benefit in. the general improvement. We have here a concrete
example of “service” rendered in a most scintific manner.

People pay for service and they always will. The world’s greatest

‘rewards are for those who serve, and the degree of their reward is

in direct proportion to their service-rendering power.

In order to put otirselves in position to render the greatest service
intelligently and
carefully. We must select men who possess and know how to use
grey matter. Let them know your plans and aims and keep before
them everlastingly the important matter of “service.” Give them all
the information, assistance and encouragement within your power,
and then back up their efforts with some good, live, up-to-the-minute
selling help for the retail dealers. The manufacturer who will organ-
ize his business on this basis is taking another step in the way of
healthy development and progress.

While the sales force whose efforts I have had the honor to direct |
is not large, we have aimed to make it efficient and ‘

‘service’ is our
first consideration. If I had the selection and direction of a large
force of salesmen, I would certainly insist first upon a personal inter-
view. I would diagnose their references carefully; their personal
habits and selling experience would be thoroughly investigated. I
would insist upon their working in the office and yard a sufficient
length of time to familiarize themselves thoroughly with every depart-
ment of our work, so that they would learn just what we are able to
do for our trade in the way of “service.” I would see that they were
put into intimate touch with the manufacturing, yarding, grading,
shipping and office systems. All this’ time they would be absorbing

Study All Order Details

“Get the business” seems to be the wolf cry of the office and
the wolf cry usually of the representative on the road. No string
left unpulled, no stone unturned to get the business. Now let us
what we do with the order when we have it. Following the suce

than a simple little sheet of paper about 4 x 8 inches, and I sor
fear that some of us consider it little more than that. I t
one of our great weaknesses is to treat these orders with too

constitutes a coupon bartered for by the prospective customer,
that this coupon is of vital importance, not only to the dez

Alas, there are too many order takers who clip theses

by the office? They are often hurriedly scanned over by
manager, who marks them O. K., turns them over to his

simply filling in a few figures and attaching a few initials to
card acknowledgement. I think that in the everyday ex
our business, we are too prone to treat lightly the orders t

Great care must be exercised in the making out of your

carefully every requirement as to lengths and widths and sho

all very easily explained to your customer, and I think that attention
to details of this kind leaves a good impression.
= “When the shipping ticket comes back to the office for invoicing,
see that every detail on it has been complied with before pricing and
invoicing. )
Prompt Shipment a Desirable Factor

Prompt shipment undoubtedly constitutes one of the very
highest forms of “service” that you can render your customer. I
realize that we are not all in position to guarantee twenty-four to
forty-eight hours’ service, and | do not think it would be practical.
Every concern knows its capacity and should be able to determine
from day to day just where they stand in the matter of shipments.
Under no condition make promise of shipment for a certain time unless
; you positively know that the car can be reached by that time. It is
better to allow yourself from two to three days’ grace in this matter,
a4 as you know that every once in a while a phone order or a telegraphic
ets order must be injected into your line ahead of other orders, and will,
of course, have a retarding effect on the balance of your orders.

We are all out after the business, but I think that this shooting
ahead of orders should be studiously avoided as far as possible.

I think it is of the utmost importance to explain to your trade the
exact condition that your stock is in with reference to dryness. Most
: of us are no doubt in a most deplorable situation at present in this
t respect. It may be all right for you to crowd out your dimension half

dry, but I do not think that you should crowd out such items as ceil-
ing, flooring, drop siding, shiplap, etc., in this condition, without a
thorough understanding with your customer. A customer receiving
stock of this kind is sure to be disappointed. No dealer likes to stick
stock up outside of his sheds and rehandle it again after it has dried
out sufficiently to pack away in his usually ill-ventilated sheds.

We are spending a lot of money in promoting the sale of “Old
Faithful,” so let us see that we ship our lumber in the very best man-
ner. and condition possible.

So here we have the touchstone that we are seeking—“service.”

-It predominates throughout the entire fabric of merchandising. We
have a commodity whose use will make our neighbor a better man.
Then we have the foundation of a legitimate business. How can you
sell it to him? Why, by “service,” of course. Develop its primary
“service” rendering power, show its immediate value. Train your
salesmen to serve your trade not only the immediate sale of your
lumber, but in every other way. Compel your merchandising to serve
both in its immediate sale by developing a deeper secondary power.

The spirit of “service” is bound to bring success, whether you
spell success with a dollar mark or not. It is simple and easy, and there
are a thousand and one ideas all developed that await only the appli-

F. cation of this wonderful touchstone of success to their marketing to

if Employer and Employee
f By H. G. Kistner, Logging Engineer, Portland, Ore.

To say that closer relations between the employer and employee
are eminently desirable, is to repeat a platitude, and that it is the de-
sire of every operator goes without saying. And yet, notwithstanding
all the discussions we have had on the bonus system, efficiency in
5 operation, etc., and in spite of the examples of fine camp equipment
that the more progressive operators are installing, the personal factor
‘y of the logging employee is given too little consideration.

It is generally conceded that man for man the average woods
worker is of a higher type than any other out-door worker and yet,
with all the resources in brain power that this body of men repre-
ys: sent, all that the logging industry is receiving from them is their day’s
4 -work performed in the same way their predecessors did it. Certainly
they give value received for their wages and usually good value at
w that, but that is where the average man stops. And that is where the

employer ought to begin to utilize the reserves of his men.
. For instance, when a new logging device is wanted—a special rig
‘ for overhead logging or some difficult problem is to be met— too
often the problem is put up to your machinery house, and their engi-
neer, being told in a very general way what you want to do, is ex-
pected to turn out a solution off-hand. No matter how well the en-

gineer is versed in mechanics, or how good a designer he may be, he »

is not a practical logger, and to secure the best results it is up to you

first to give him a good working plan. It is the purpose of this article

~~ to try to show how you can get the most out of the material with
-. which you have to work—in this case the genus “logger”— and how
| you can attempt to solve some of your own problems before you

ay turn to the mechanical engineer.
The mental capacity of the logger is tested every day in meeting

os further than this and utilize their ingenuity in a co-operative way?

, new problems, and he does meet them ingeniously, but why not go
: We all know about the great strokes of logging that are done evenings

run the thing if he were boss. We put this down as mostly “hot
but how about it, can’t we sift out the wheat from the chaff
occasionally get a valuable idea from a new source? If you operator
can show the men that you have a real interest in them and give the:
a reason for having a personal interest in you, and in your operation
you will go a long way towards solving efficiency problems. 4

Experiment number one: announce that a series of small priz
will be given each month for the best suggestions offered pertainir
to greater efficiency in logging camp work—these suggestions mig
cover a wide range; from fire prevention to cook house improvem
and camp sanitation. An “efficiency box,” for receiving these s
gestions, should be placed in every camp. It would be well to proy
that at least five suggestions in all must be received in a =
month, or they would be carried into the next month. It would
be advisable, in order to insure fairness and freedom in discus
to use a system of numbering the suggestions, having the
the author in a corresponding envelope bearing the same
About the fifth of each month, have the men gather in the coo
or the Y. M. C. A. building, if there is one, present the sugg
have a general discussion and let the men decide by vote wh«
ideas presented are of enough practical value to merit pri:
which ones are the best.

The superintendent can afterward adopt these suggestions
may see fit, but the popular decision will do much to stimu
men’s interest and avoid charges of its being “another co
scheme.” It should be, needless to say that to expect the men
out and take an interest in the discussion, the gathering -

should be well worth trying, and will undoubtedly result in the

The National Cash Register Company—one of the most effi
and a large part of the improvements in their wonderful machines ;
directly due to suggestions of their employees, and no sug:
made are passed over without being given a thorough test. _

The greatest handicap of the average woods-worker is his
sufficient educational advantages—then supplying this lack, in
the smallest degree, would be the biggest boost you could give
Give the men a chance to learn the things they need—many a
of real ability will be found ready and anxious to take advanta
the long evenings that are ordinarily wasted. Start at the ver
tom of the educational ladder and offer them first a class in the (
Rs”—from the young men who are interested in this and others w
are further advanced, an elementary school could be for to
them the rudiments of practical logging engineering. There i
question about finding men of ability, it is just a matter of
out the latent resources—organize the work along practical lines’
when the men find out what you are doing, there, will be no le
interest. y Pr te

The old-time woodsman was much more familiar with land
‘division than the present-day logger—let them have all the knc
ledge possible along that line; a great many don’t even know h
run a compass line—that is a practical and valuable accomplishn

for any man in the woods; the question of railroad grades may
taken up and the best methods of clearing right-of-way ; economi
use of stumping powder; weights of steel best adapted for main 1
and spurs, and comparative costs; the question of a supply of
best and cheapest; costs of wire rope ; maintenance costs and dep:
ation of donkey engines—and a multitude of other questions w
will inevitably present themselves. The leaders of the class—st
intendent, foremen, logging engineer, etc—would be bene
much as the men, and from this should come a re f
meeting where each department can bring its prob

There is no reason to doubt that from all this will come <

New Woods Making Good Paper

‘That satisfactory wood pulp can be made from a number of
heretofore little known woods is evidenced by a United States Gov-
ernment publication just issued, which contains seventy samples of
paver manufactured by different processes, chiefly from woods here-
tofore practically unused for this purpose. It is pointed out that the
tice forests of the country are threatened with exhaustion and that
the cost of spruce pulpwood has steadily increased. If the price of
newsprint paper is to be kept at a reasonable figure, more efficient
nethods of converting spruce into pulp must be developed or cheaper
woods substituted for it, the report says.
_ The bulletin states ‘that the method of manufacturing ground-
wood pulp has changed very little since its introduction into the
United States in 1867. It was with the idea of developing new meth-
s and improving the old, that tests were undertaken at the Forest
rvice laboratories at Wausau and Madison, Wisconsin. As a result,
relation of the different steps in the manufacturing process to each
er has been definitely established and the merits of each treatment
determined. The paper made from new woods was given.a practical
trial by two large newspapers with satisfactory results.
_ The tests showed that eleven new woods give promise of being
uitable for the production of news print paper, while a number of
tt vers will produce manila paper and boxboards. Most of these woods
: confined to the west, while the groudwood industry now obtains
bulk of its raw material from the east. It is thought that pulp-
making plants must eventually move to points where they can obtain
plentiful supply of wood and an abundance of cheap water-power,
two prime requisites in the business.
_ The report says that because the National Forests of the United
$ contain immense quantities of the suitable woods and abundant
rtunities for power development, they will undoubtedly play an
mportant part in the future of the wood pulp industry.

INCREASE OUR BUSINESS
BY PROMPT DELIVERIES

HE Prasse Lumber Company, of Cleveland, uses
oe two Packard chainless motor trucks, fitted with
eS _ special roller bodies for quick loading and unload-
ing, for retail delivery. _ C. G. Prasse gives Packards
the following recommendation:

susseceneeneunenes

‘‘Motor trucks cost no more to operate than do
horses and they please our customers by giving more
prompt delivery. Everyone expects motor delivery
these days. We have been using trucks for about three
years and recently decided that Packards were the best
for our work.

‘Though we still use horses, | should like very
much to do away with them entirely, as I suppose
they will eventually be replaced by machines. ’”’

There is a Packard truck for every requirement of
the lumber business. For light loads the Light Service
Trucks, rated respectively at 1—1% tons and 14—1%
tons, provide quick, on-time delivery. For heavier
loads there are five sizes, 2 to 6% tons’ capacity.
Optional frame lengths and body styles make Packards
adaptable to every kind of material.

Saw and Planing Mills

In a Goodhue Belt you get only the best leather with the
stretch taken out of it. A Goodhue Belt will always run
evenly and ‘‘clings’” to the pulley transmitting 100% of your
power.

For the wet places in the mill we have a special waterproof leather belt—‘‘Acme”’. Other
Goodhue Belts are ‘‘Extra’” and ‘‘Standard” recommended according to the conditions under
which the belt has to run.

Goodhue Belts stretch less than any other belt by 15 to 25 per cent.

CANADA LUMBERMAN

EXPERIENCE # RESOU RCES : PRECISION

The Time to Invest in
limber is NOW.

We can take advantage of mar-
ket conditions for you as you
cannot for yourself.

Either of two systems may be "sake in
buying timber. One contemplates buying proper-
ties at recognized market values to accord with
individual tdezs as to what a timber tract should
bz, and hold it in anticipation of steadily increas-
ing value; the other, the Lacey Way, contemplates
taking advantage of opportunities that ccme to an
organization like ours, buying at prices much below
recognized values and gaining profit, both from
the purchase and from accretion.

Obviously the latter plan is most invit-
ing from the standpoint of speculation, or for those
who do not contemplate future manufacturing. It permits carry-
ing charges to be reckoned merely as deferred payments on the
purchase price, and of course means larger profits.

The present is a most opportune time for
such investments. After a period of depression,
in common with other industries, lumber is coming into its own
again. There are, however, many timber owners, financially

unable to carry non-productive investments, who must sell.

We can make a selection for you in the
Douglas Fir forests of British Columbia, Wash-
ington or Oregon; the White Pine of Idaho; the Western Pine
of Oregon or California; in the Redwoods of the latter state or
elsewhere. Prices range well below the market values. Send

No. 3 Bolter

One of the main reasons for the great
popularity of our No. 3 Boltgr is its capa-

city for continuous work.

The machine is so substantial in all the
essential parts—frame, bearings, etc.—that
you seldom see the slightest trouble de-

velop.

Another reason is the uniform, accurate
work turned out under all conditions. In
large mills where they produce large quan-
tities of lath, etc., our No. 3 Bolter is almost

universally used.

~l
ORILLIA ONTARIO "£0

The machine has our usual one-piece
frame construction, with all bearing and
working parts easily accessible for adjust-
ment, etc. Carries four 20-inch saws, spaced
ordinarily for lath bolts, but can be ar-
ranged for any spacing of saws for cutting
slats, pickets, etc. Floor space, 5 feet x 4

feet 6 inches; weight, 2,800 pounds.

< ed

Don’t tolerate kicking or leaking valves on your Steam Feed. Just as
sure as your valves kick, your cutting capacity is going to take a drop.

The Sawyer “feels” his work through his lever. A kicking valve scares

him off his work; a leaking valve won't let him do his best. Both kinds

are money losers for you.

WATEROUS VERTICAL
STEAM FEED VALVES

Will neither kick nor leak

In the first place, the vertical position of this new valve allows perfect drainage into the exhaust

port at the bottom. Should-the connection break

the valve drops of its own weight and shuts off the

steam. ‘That's a safety feature.

Then, the exhaust—mostly water—doesn’t?pass through
the valve plug, but through the lower part of the valve
chest. That’s why the valve cannot kick.

Aind—most important of all—with the vertical valve there
is no weight on the valve seat and consequently no wear
and no leakage. It's a real steam conserver.

Further, the Waterous Vertical ?Valve is balanced
to work easy, there is no dead steam between it and the
cylinder. Just as soon as the sawyer moves his lever he
gets the full “punch” of the live steam on his piston. That
makes a fast, quick-acting, satis- ;
factory feed.

If yours isn’t that kind now, attach
Waterous Vertical Valves and
see what a difference they will make.

fore them, and by the officers whom they appointed in raising a for-
estry battalion, which has come over here to work in our woods. The
Government and the people of Canada are naturally interested in their
own timber, but they realized that the position of the Empire as to
freight was so serious that we could not now be expected to supply
our needs from Canada if it were possible to supply them here at
home. They have shown a true Imperial spirit in helping us to supply
them in the most practical manner possible. The only difficulty will
be to keep these men with big enough blocks of timber to cut.”

This is a fine appreciation of the practical assistance given by the
Canadian lumber industry, and should make the lumbermen of this
country feel a glow of patriotic pride in having been able to take part
in so practical a work. That the difficulty in finding enough timber
to keep these men busy has been overcome, seems to be illustrated
by the fact that two more battalions have been called for and are now
in process of formation in Canada.

Can the Public be Taught to Use
More Lumber?

It is interesting to compare the subjects that receive the largest
amount of discussion at Lumber Association conventions in the
United States and to see, not only how they are handled by the
speakers, but how they indicate the direction in which the trade
winds of the lumber business are blowing.

A_few years ago, we heard more about co-operation among asso-
ciations than anything else. These were the days when some of the
largest associations in the United States were being investigated by
the governments, both of the United States and some of the individual -
States, for the purpose of finding out whether their activities were
strictly legal. The results of these investigations are well known.
They led, in one memorable case, to an important association being
found guilty of various infractions of the State law and being com-
pelled to disorganize, while its individual members had to pay pretty
substantial fines. The merits of this matter are not of much interest
today. What we are interested in is that it was not long before the
members of the same association worked out a far more efficient and
valuable organization which has made them of even greater influence
in the trade than they ever were before.

At one period, a few years ago, we had an example of association
work going the limit, when the Lumber Trades Congress was con-
ceived and brought into existence, which for one reason or another
lived only for a few years. We had also a Wood Products Exposi-
tion which was held at Chicago and New York and drew widespread
attention to the value of wood as a building material. All these
events, though they may not appear at first to be intimately related,
have been more or less connected with one another, and have been
steps in the development of a more practical usefulness for lumber
associations.

Another line of discussion, quite definitely related to all these
matters, is that which has been devoted in ever increasing measure
to what we have come to understand by the word “service.” The
changes have been rung upon this subject interminably, until some
lumbermen must be sick and tired of it, but the general effect has
been good. Many firms that were going along in their own quiet
ways have been stirred up to a fuller appreciation of the importance
of increasing and improving their businesses and at the same time
being more useful to their customers.

Throughout all these discussions and developments there has
been working out automatically, and to some extent even without the
knowledge of those engaged, a gradual approach towards something
astonishingly simple, once it has been brought to the attention of
the trade, and yet something which has been altogether neglected
during the past, namely; the great possibilities connected with ad-
vertising lumber to the consumer. In the first place the association
movement seemed to spend most of its force in an effort to organize
lumbermen in such a way as to limit production so that it would not
run ahead of consumption. It was thought that this would surely
result in good prices being secured for all the lumber produced and

‘that everyone would then be prosperous who manufactured or sold

proposed would have been in the form of improvements.

lumber. There was a flaw in this theory which was not perceived
at first, but which soon became clearly evident, namely; that it neg-
lected to consider the consumption end of the business at all. Keep-
ing down production is, to a certain extent, a wise course, but when
it is not coupled with some plan for keeping up consumption at the
same time, there is likely to be trouble.

Lately, the consumption end of the problem has been getting a
fair share of attention, and it has been discovered that keeping down
production without paying any attention to consumption is almost
a waste of time, for the substitute man is abroad in the land and is
sitting up nights working out schemes for keeping down the con-
sumption of lumber so that his own products may sell the more

widely. So it happened for a time that the lumber organizations

were limiting production and the substitute manufacturers were re-
stricting the consumption of lumber, and between the two the busi-
ness was in a worse state than ever before.

It was the logical result of the campaign for the restriction of
output that someone should begin to think about keeping up the
consumption and should first of all look into the possibilities of adver-
tising. No sooner had this been looked into than its merits com-
menced to be recognized. We now believe that advertising lumber
has come into existence in the United States for keeps. Unques-
tionably, a great interest is being taken in the matter by manufac-
turers and we hope to see the movement spread until the ordinary
reader has become as thoroughly saturated with information about
the merits of different lines of lumber as he has been with informa-

tion about the merits of the different kinds of automobiles, talking

No Change in Hardwood Inspection _

The refusal of the National Hardwood Lumber Association to
change its inspection rules, as reported in the account of their an-
nual meeting, elsewhere in this issue, is a matter of the greatest im-

ortance to the hardwood trade, both in Canada and the United

tates. We have refrained all along from commenting on the situa-
tion, either pro or con, and have been satisfied with printing the
views of members of the Association, leaving it entirely to the Asso-
ciation to fight its own battle. Now that the battle is over and the
majority of members of the Association have seen fit to leave the
inspection as it was, we feel that we are more free to express our own
views upon the subject.

The Canadian hardwood trade have been slow to adopt the rules
of the National Hardwood Association and to make them universal
throughout Canada, but it has now been pretty thoroughly demon-
strated that these rules are the only workable ones available. The
Canadian trade had in the end come largely to observe these rules,
and had educated the consumers of lumber to doing business upon
this basis. The result was that most of the troubles arising out of
inspection had been eliminated. This was the state of affairs when
the proposition came up to make a change in the rules. To Can-
adians it looked as if this change would tear away the foundation
from under the hardwood trade and leave them in practically as
disturbed a position as they were in before the rules began to be
used in this country. In our opinion such a change would have
given the hardwood trade in Canada a set back of one or two years.
There would undoubtedly have been a great turmoil growing out
of the changed rules, and it would have taken a long time for the
disturbance to settle down.

Changes in the direction of improvement are adways a good
thing, but we deem it a question whether the changes that were
In the first

place, they were the most radical changes that had ever been pro-
posed in the National Hardwood Lumber Association. They would
have done away with inspection from the poor side of the board and
substituted for it inspection from the good side of the board, irres-
pective of what the other side of the board might show. As a simple
_ matter of business honesty this does not seem to us to have been a
proper principle. It appears to be practically on a par with the old-

is our conviction that the changes would have provided far too many
opportunities for the man who likes to manipulate his grades, and
we are glad to learn that the proposed changes have been defeated,
and doubly glad because one of the most active opponents to the
changes was a prominent member of the hardwood trade in Canada.

Great Trade Benefit

izations as being of great benefit, not only to the industries repre-
sented, but also to the people as a whole. “Conservatism,” he says,
“is the hand maiden of prosperity so far as our foreign trade is con-
cerned. The owners of our vast natural resources are the trustees
of the people. When they sell their products at ridiculously low
prices—the lumber, the copper and the coal that come from Nature’s
store-house—they are violating their trust, for ruinous trade spells
a waste that brings nothing in exchange.” Although these remarks
were inspired by a consideration of the foreign trade situation, they
apply with equal force to domestic trade and the lesson they teach
is exactly the lesson we have been trying to teach in our previous
remarks, namely, that the best way to build up trade of any kind
is to treat your customer honorably and not to pass him over when
you see a chance of putting through a deal with his customer.
The statement made by Mr. Hurley is worthy of being prom-
inently displayed in every merchant’s office to act as a guide in the
daily affairs of trade. We commend the statement particularly to

those who sometimes have a feeling that they must pass over the ©

retail lumber merchant and sell to the consumer direct. It is a poor
rule that will not work both ways, and so far as we can learn, the
party who initiates a selfish course of trade invariably suffers more
than the one who is its innocent victim.

The amount of timber scaled as reported at the office of the B. C.
timber inspector, Vancouver, B. C., during the month of May, ex-

Hardwood Rules Remain Unchanged

Proposed Alterations Turned Down at Annual Convention
3 —John M. Woods of Boston the New President

At the annual meeting of the National Hardwood Lumber Asso-
ciation, which was held in Chicago on June 15th and 16th, the most
important subject under discussion was the report of the Inspection
Rules Committee in regard to a number of additions and changes to
the inspection rules. This matter had been under consideration for
some time and the Inspection Rules Committee had finally prepared
an exhaustive report, which we outlined in our issue of June Ist, the
chief points of which were that a grade of selects should be taken out
of the upper end of No. 1 common; that the grade of No. 1 common
should be divided into “No. 1 common A” and “No. 1 common ag
and that the grade of No. 2 common should be divided into “No.
common A” and “No. 2 common B.”

While the Inspection Rules Committee presented these proposed
changes, its members were not unanimous in supporting them, and
when the report was presented to the Association for discussion and
action it developed that there was a minority report also to be pre-
sented, and that the members of the Association had already ranged
themselves into two distinct camps, favoring respectively the majority
and the minority report. One of the members of the Inspection Rules
Committee, Mr. A. E. Clark, of Edward Clark & Son, Toronto, was
an active supporter of the minority report and spoke forcibly in its
favor. The chief point made in the minority report was a recom-
mendation “that there shall be no change made in the rules.”

The discussion upon the proposed ‘changes occupied the greater
part of the time of the annual meeting. Many committee meetings
for discussing the matter were held on Thursday, and when it came
before the general meeting on Friday there followed a debate which
took practically the whole of the day. Finally the majority report
was put to the vote. The interest was so keen that every member
was polled after his credentials had been carefully examined, and
the final tally was strongly opposed to the majority report and its
proposed changes, the vote being 213 against and 141 for the changes.
It would have required a two-thirds majority of the members voting
to carry such a change, so that when it was supported only by an
actual minority, the defeat was very definite.

The minority report was then presented, and its chief point, that
there should be no changes, was carried after further debate. This
‘means that the old rules will continue in force without any alterations.
One or two additions, however, which were proposed by the min-
ority report were agreed upon, making grades for Philippine mahog-
any and for plain sawed red gum (figured wood) and quarter sawed
red gum (figured wood).

' There was also a discussion in regard to the grading of cypress.
The Association has formerly adopted the grading rules of the South-
ern Cypress Association. The 1914 rules of this Association were
changed, however, and the National Hardwood Lumber Association,
not being convinced about the advisability of following the 1916
cypress rules, decided to stick to those of 1914. A resolution to this
effect was therefore passed.

In the election of officers a vote was necessary for the office of
president, the nominees being John M. Woods, of Boston, and S. B.

The vote resulted in the election of

Mr. Woods by 139 to 105, which was subsequently made unanimous.

The other officers elected were as follows:—J. V. Stimson, Hunting-

burg, Ind., first vice-president; F. L. Brown, Chicago, IIl., second

vice-president, and C. A. Goodman, Marinette, Wis., third vice-presi-
dent. The directors elected were as follows:—for three-year term:

Geo. Breece, Charlestown, W.Va.; John R. Thistlethwaite, Washin-

fon, ba;: J. L. Retting, S.-M. Nickey, T. M. Brown, Louisville, Ky.;

ee WV. Babcock, Pittsburg, Pa.; D. E. Chipps, Fort Worth, Texas: is

B. Wall, Buffalo, N.Y. For two-year term, Chas. F. Mitchell; for

one-year term, F. T. Dooley, Memphis, Tenn.

President Wood was conducted to the chair by F. S. Underhill,
and after being inducted into office delivered a neat speech in apprecia-
tion of the honor conferred on him, following which the meeting
adjourned.

Canadian Shingle Exports to the United States

During the month of April 154,389,000 Canadian shingles were
exported to the United States, bringing the total of Canadian shingle
exports to that country up to 1,448,804,000 pieces for the first ten
months of the United States Government's current fiscal year, as
compared with 1,164,899,000 shingles for the same months of last year.

The value of the Canadian-made shingles shipped to United

_ States markets for the month of April was "$313, 812, and the value
of those shipped during the past ten months was $2, 881,475.

Major Frank Carew, who is
a son of John Carew, M.P.P.

also occupied the position of
Paymaster. He was promoted
a little later on to the rank of
Major and is at present in camp at Barrifield, Ont.

Major Frank Carew is a splendid example of the best type of
Canadian citizen, being a successful business man, splendidly set up
physically and keen to assume his obligations both as a business man
and a patriotic Canadian.- His promotion to the rank of Major, when
still a very young man, comparatively speaking, is a recognition of
the thoroughness with which he applies himself to every thing he
undertakes. He is one of the youngest majors in the Canadian forces.

As secretary-treasurer of the John Carew Lumber Co., Ltd.,
Major Carew has had considerable experience in the lumber business

An Inspiration to Readers

Editor Canada Lumberman:— Vancouver, B. C.

The splendid arrangement of your extraordinary Annual Number, in
which you have compiled information from all parts of the Dominion, and
from other countries, thus giving your readers in concrete shape much ma-
terial: of rare value, gives it a just claim upon them for recognition.

While the wonderful amount of thought and energy required to produce
such a creditable collection of information, and the task of securing and
arranging such a splendid display of advertising are best known to yourself,
yet your readers cannot fail to appreciate the value of such an effort in their
behalf, even to the extent of a strong feeling of pride and satisfaction at being
represented by so live and enterprising a journal. Even though the true
value of such work is often under-estimated by busy readers, yet the salient
features of this special issue will be an inspiration to its readers.

Retailers’ Reports

Improvement Noticeable in Several Localities—Quiet Continuing
ek Elsewhere—Below Normal in all Quarters

Hamilton Trade About Steady
Editor Canada Lumberman:— Hamilton, Ont., June 15.
The demand for building material in Hamilton is not very brisk, and
u2 while there is a shortage of popular priced houses for renting purposes, no-
- body seems anxious to supply the demand. There is considerable building
of a speculative nature in the east end, caused probably by the demand for
homes for men who are employed in the east end munition plants, where a
large number of men have been making good wages for over a year.
Comparing the present season with that of a year ago, it appears to us
that the demand is about the same. For two or three years before the war
broke out business was good. Prices were good also, and steady. Last
summer and fall the volume of business declined and prices were cut. Dur-
, ing the spring of this year there was some improvement.

The labor market has been the chief disturbing factor. Men were hard
to get and the wages asked have been higher than seem to be warranted by
the conditions governing our business. Many men have left positions which

.they have filled for years in large shops and plants at good wages, in order
to take positions in munition plants, where fancy wages are being paid which
ordinary business conditions will not warrant.

The financial condition of the farmers in this district is good, but large
purchases have not been made by them this season, partly perhaps because
of the crop outlook, which is not at all favorable, on account of the wet
weather. :

The demand for lumber for manufacturing purposes has been steady.
Some manufacturers are still increasing the size of their plants, although not
to such an extent as in previous years.

Yours truly,
D. Aitchison & Company.

Farm Trade Reduced by Bad Weather
‘Editor Canada Lumberman:— Paris Station, Ont.,

Trade conditions in most lines, and especially in all building materials and
builders’ supplies, do not compare favorably with those of a year ago. The
building trade is very light, particularly in regard to new buildings in the
towns. We were hoping for a fair trade with the farmers, but weather con-
ditions have put a damper upon prospective trade of this kind. The outlook
was very favorable at the close of last season, and even up to the beginning

"* of the spring of 1916, as the farmers had had good crops and had realized
good prices on almost all their lines. Weather conditions, however, have
been extremely unfavorable since the beginning of spring. The continuous
rain has held back seeding and germination, especially on the heavier land,
and farmers are not showing the inclination to purchase that we were expect-
ing before the commencement of spring.

Those farmers who own their farms are in first class financial condi-
tion, but it may be a serious matter for beginners who are working rented
farms. Farmers who have live stock for sale are realizing high prices and
are generally in good financial shape.

Everything Depending on the Farmer

Editor Canada Lumberman:— Brunner, Ont., June 15.

Business with us was about on its usual basis until the middle of April,

- or a little later, when the farmers commenced seeding. Since then it has

; not been so good. On account of the great amount of wet weather, the
farmers are not yet through with their seeding. This is a flat country, with
heavy land, taking a long time to dry out, and therefore seeding has been
greatly delayed. A number of farmers have dropped their building operations
for the season, and the lumber trade, therefore, will not be so brisk as it
was last year. Otherwise the farmers are doing well, as they are getting

“4 good prices for their products.
: As near as we can judge, business will only be about half as large in
: _ volume as it was last year, in the lumber line, unless the weather improves

“very soon. No corn, roots or potatoes have yet been planted, and not all

‘ the small grain. The grass is doing well and fall wheat is fair. Everything
= in our district depends upon the prosperity of the farmers.

to the Toronto Telegram. Briefly, the correspondence is to the effect that
following complaints from all branches of the service, Gen. Alderson, in
ommand of the Canadians, formally protested to the Canadian Government
against arming the men with the Ross rifle, which has proved, according
egto, the soldiers, a failure and a pathetic failure at Ypres and was later to be
followed by a similar failure at St. Eloi.

General Alderson’s protest was received and answered in a style that
unfortunately for the good name of the Dominion is becoming to be regarded
characteristic of the administration of the militia department. He was
to mind his own business and the Canadian soldiers were told to take
the militia department considered good for them and were warned that
any further objections to the use of the Ross rifle would not be tolerated.

Market for Doors in India

A report upon the market for doors in India has been received by
the Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa, from Mr. H. R.
MacMillan, Special Trade Commissioner, and published in the Week-
ly Bulletin. The report says :-—

Nearly all doors in India are solid teak. The usual pattern is
a double opening French door, each section of the door with three
solid panels flush on one side, raised on the other, the double door
being 3 feet 6 inches by 6 feet 6 inches. The retail prices at which
these doors sell in Calcutta are :-—

Thickness
Frame Panels Price per Square Foot
1 in. a Se a 32 cents
1% in. PER sets aoe any ee 38 cents
134 in. A tee 44 cents

The accompanying illustrations show the type of door, both full
panels and half panel half glass. Imported doors have not been used
for the reason that it has been believed that no imported wood would
withstand the climate or the white ants. Sample solid panel Douglas
fir doors which have been in use in Delhi three years have not been
touched by white ants and have in no way been affected by the climate
though the fluctuations in Delhi range from a very dry shade tem-
perature of 112 degs. F. in the hot weather to a temperature of 95
degs. I*. in the rains with an accompanying humidity of over 90 per
cent., conditions as severe as any wood is likely to meet in use.

large hardware, machinery and general furnishing companies in three
or four of the principal cities. The market, which is limited to govern-
ment and other public buildings and the requirements of the com-
paratively small European and wealthy native community, is sup-
plied with doors made to special order. Douglas fir doors are equal to
the teak doors in appearance and superior in manufacture to the ord-
inary Indian-made door; they can be put on the Indian market, if
shipped with lumber cargoes, much below the price for teak doors.
The market, while small, should amount of several thousand doors
yearly. Canadian exporters when making shipments of lumber should
arrange with their representatives in India to introduce fir doors.
The names of the three most important dealers in doors may be ob-
tained from the Canadian Intelligence Branch of the Department of
Trade and Commerce. 7

Can Any Lumberman Furnish this Information?

Editor Canada Lumberman:— Moyertown, Alta.

I am informed that there is in use in some of the lumber and supply camps
in the east, a single rail track built on ties without the roadbed being graded.
The cars in use run on two wheels tandem and the power used is one horse,
which travels beside the car and is hitched to an arrangement similar to a
pack-saddle, thus helping to balance the load on the car. Can you give me
any information regarding this, with cost of the equipment, cost of installa-
tion and maintenance? We are farming twenty miles from the railroad and
one of the big difficulties is the transportation problem.

Advertising—An Aid to Retail Dealefq

The Merchant’s Duty to His Community Involves Active Business
Campaigning—The Uplift of Good Advertising
By J. B.

Two years ago an article entitled “How Advertising Affected the
Construction of My Bungalow,” appeared in one of the leading maga-
zines of the business press. The article started out in this way:

“About five months ago I employed an architect to prepare plans
for a residence for myself and wife. Today the house is completed
and ready for occupancy.

“About four days after
received a bulky package of literature on heating systems.

I gave the architect his commission |
Since that

time I have received in all exactly one hundred and fifteen pieces of |

literature pertaining to house building.

“T am open minded to all forms of advertising, likewise my wife,
so we both determined to see exactly to what extent advertising
entered into the construction of our home. Yes, we had just been
married, so it had to be a bungalow, of course.

“Therefore, the ads of bungalows stuck out from the magazine
pages like doorknobs, but this is too early on doorknobs, for that
comes a little later in the story.”

The article told all about the selection of hardware, lighting
fixtures, and so on, and then it came to the subject of lumber.

“Now about lumber, and in this connection I had a!most. for-
gotten something. Before our contract was let we were solicited by
various retail lumber firms.who wanted to look over our plans. Here
we were initiated into some of the secrets of the trade! One lumber
company said, ‘Don’t let that contractor Smith have the job, for he
owns an interest in the Jones lumber yard, and everybody knows how
punk they are,’ and so on down the line. Before we let our contract
we inquired into the contractor’s lumber-yard affiliations and found
he had none, so we obtained our lumber from a thoroughly reliable
company. And thanks to our architect we got some of that ‘Cypress,
the Wood Eternal,’ that we had seen advertised so much in our maga-
zines and newspapers, and that we desired so much. And we got
an excellent line of pine and oak for inside finishing and trimming.
It’s a pity such fine material should be nameless.”

The writer of this article is quite well acquainted with the person

quoted above, so it also should be stated here that the bungalow
referred to was constructed of hollow tile and stucco. The Cypress
for exposed places and the pine and oak for interior finishing was
all the lumber that went into this house—thanks to the advertising
of the manufacturers of other kinds of building material—lumber
substitutes.

A few years ago we used to read articles telling about the rapidity
with which our forests were being consumed and that the time was
not far distant when there would be no more lumber. Now, if some-
thing is not done to increase the consumption of lumber, we may be
reading articles wondering what we will do with our great unused
forests. The only thing that will sell lumber, as well as shoes, or
breakfast food, is advertising—and certainly the retailer has an inter-
est in this subject. I will not vouch for the accuracy of the state-
ment, but an officer of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation told me recently that the manufacturers of safety pins spend
more money annually in advertising than the entire lumber industry.
To use his words and make a poor joke at the same time, he said that
“Lumber advertising is below the creeping stage.’

In a speech before one of the meetings of the Associated Kaper:
tising Clubs of the World, a member of the firm of one of the large
department stores recently said that a store that did not advertise at
all, or a store that did not advertise properly was simply lacking in
its plain duty to its public. An officer of the Agricultural Implement
Dealers’ Association of Missouri, who is himself a successful small
town dealer, recently made the same statement. He said:

“The merchant who by reason of inferior service in salesman-
ship; insufficient advertising; or poor business methods is not equip-
ped to fulfil to the utmost his proper place in the community, to that
extent is, himself, a factor in the community’s downfall. The mer-
chant’s duty to increase his sales, or his business, should not come
from robbing his weaker brother in business, but should come from
an effort along with him to make the community in which he lives
more productive and thereby to raise the purchasing power of that
community.”

If advertising is a definite part of the service that a store should
render, certainly the lumber dealer occupies an excellent position
for the greatest service. The progress of man can be marked in the
character of his dwelling and its appointments. The word “home”
has always had a sacred meaning. Statistics compiled in large cities
show that most immorality and unhappiness result from congested

I = Piling of Lumber Causes Great Waste

coastal regions, of piling timber over swampy land, subject to flood
or tides, or so constantly wet as to make it very difficult or impossible
to keep down the rank growth of weeds and grasses which cut off
the air circulation and prevent the proper drying of the lumber.

2. Piling sticks which are thrown promiscuously about, or even
piled directly on the ground, and allowed to become infected. Very
few yards pay any attention to this important feature of sanitation.
The almost universal practice is to throw them on the ground when-
ever stacks are torn down, leaving them there until needed for new
piles.

3. Pile foundations of timber which in the course of a few years
become diseased and produce many fungous fruit-bodies which release
millions of fresh, vigorous germs in the form of spores. Many founda-
tions do not permit of proper ventilation beneath the piles, a condi-
tion which often encourages severe decay in the base of the stacks
by the gradual progress of fungi upward from the ground or debris
over which the lumber is piled.

4. Improper methods of stacking lumber,
for sufficiently rapid drying. -

5. Poorly constructed storage sheds, particularly with reference -
to insufficient ventilation beneath. A considerable number of such
sheds have been investigated where very widespread and destructive
outbreaks of some of the most virulent fungi with which the builder
has to contend occurred.

6. Tramways and tracks about the yards which become severely
infected with decay and permit the development of an abundance of
fungous fruit-bodies and spores. This is of particular importance
in the case of elevated tramways from which the spores can be dis-
tributed for long distances.

To sum up, “then, the sources of decay lie in allowing rotting de-
bris to accumulate, in allowing pile foundations, tramway timbers,
track ties and supports under lumber storage sheds to become in-
fected, thus passing the decay on directly to timbers which lie in
contact, or indirectly to more distant timbers through the agency of
spores.

Since decay is due to the presence of wood-rotting fungi the
obvious first principle is to render conditions about the lumber yard
unsuitable for the growth of the organisms. This can be accomplished
by attention to the following details:

1. Location of Yards—Wherever possible storage yards should
be on high and dry land, on mineral soil rather than filled-in debris.
This will greatly simplify the weed control problem and insure pro-
per ventilation around the base of the lumber stacks. Occasional
wetting and silting of lumber by floods, tides and storm waves will
almost invariably cause rot.

In all cases, weeds should be kept under control. This is fre-
quently done by pasturing or mowing. Chemical sprays offer possi-
bilities in this connection also. A concentrated solution of common

which do not provide

salt, (125 pounds per fifty-two-gallon barrel) is effective against a
considerable number of weeds if applied to the younger plants twice
during the year at the rate of one barrel per acre.

A 2% per cent. solution of sulphuric acid would be much better,
but requires considerable care in handling and must be used in glass
containers or other kinds of m«terial which has been enameled or
coated with paraffin.

2. Cleaning-up of Yards —The ..sst careful attention should be
given to this phase of the question. The writer has seen yards where
hundreds of thousands of feet of lumber have rotted in storage and
either been left in the original piles, often with new lumber piled on
top, or else scattered about the yard or its immediate vicinity until
completely decayed. Such material should be thoroughly collected
and burned.

3. Greater care in handling piling sticks and stacking lumber.—
A piling stick infected with an actively growing wood destroying
fungus can spread infection to any part of the pile of green lumber
where it may happen to be placed, so the necessity for carefully
guarding these strips and keeping them from contact with the ground
is obvious. They should preferak’y be cut from heartwood of very
durable timber, such as resinous pine, red gum, white oak or similar
woods, and dried before use.

Many lumbermen prefer to use the lumber itself for cross-strips.
This ordinarily gives little trouble where the boards are properly
spaced and the narrower widths are selected for the cossers. In the
larger piles, a central flue one board wide is often of distinct advantage.
The edge piling of 2 x 4’s as practised at some mills is favorably re-
ported.

Timber should never be allowed to lie, even temporarily, in close
piles on the ground or on decayed tramways.

4. Better construction for pile foundations—Very often pile found-
ations are altogether too low or are poorly constructed, not allowing
sufficient ventilation beneath the sticks. The laying of a few planks
on the ground parallel to the alleys does not make a good pile sup-
port. In the first place, it allows circulation in only one direction,
and in the second place such a foundation is usually too low. Being
more or less permanent structures and partly in contact with the
ground, pile foundations should consist of horizontal timbers set on
concrete or brick piers, or blocked up at intervals with wood, to a
height of at least eighteen inches from the ground. Such timber as
enters into their construction should be either highly durable or else
treated with some wood preservative. Coal-tar creosote will serve as
an efficient antiseptic.

Sound, air-dry blocking cut from many of the low-grade species
of timber having a goodly percentage of sapwood can be given a sat-
isfactory treatment by heating in a tank at about 200 to 220 degrees
Fahrenheit for four to six hours, then allowing to cool in the oil.
The longer horizontal timbers can be given three coats of hot creosote
at 180 degrees Fahrenheit at intervals of twenty-four hours. Heart-
wood in this case is much to be preferred to sapwood.

These remarks apply to the construction of storage shed founda-
tions as well as pile foundations in the open.

5. Preservation of tramway timbers and ties—The decay of these
timbers can be overcome by treatment with creosote or some other
good wood preservative. The work can be done by commercial wood
preserving companies or by the lumberman himself in the ways above
indicated.

6. Dipping stored lumber to prevent infection—Dipping green
lumber in soda solution to prevent bluing is‘at present a recognized
practice in the United States, particularly in the Southern pine belt.
While soda is more or less effective against bluing it will hardly be
of much value in preventing attacks of other fungi. A more toxic

-substance, such as sodium fluoride, is suggested. This substance can
be substituted for the soda dip very readily and would serve the
double purpose of blue-stain prevention and also protection against
incipient decay.

Timber which shows ay trace of decay should never be sold or
accepted for building purposes, as open dormant fungi in dry timber
can often start into active growth when placed under moist, com-
paratively warm conditions.

is contemplating building a new barn next spring, or a new —_ #

fix them up so neatly and attractively that the man who is ge

in who wants to put in a planing mill. It’s no use. If you don t
end his money that way he’s apt to go and buy the Eads
in St. Louis or the Convention Hall in Kansas City. That
n fa man is dangerous as long as he’s got money anyway. One
th bri htest remarks I ever heard made along this line was uttered
yaf rmer who thought he wanted to break into the planing mill
. He let the word leak out and one of those machinery fel-
d up with a full line of pictures and bum cigars. Right
re the farmer got the salesman’s goat; the farmer didn’t

a planing mill. The farmer watched the salesman’s pencil
e saw the total running up above $2,000, he said: “Here,
you needn’t go no further; if I had as much money as
I wouldn’t have a durned planing mill.” :
, of course, it’s a well-known fact that there’s a sucker born
ite, and consequently there’s a fairly good demand for wood-
hinery around the retail lumber yards.

The Retailer’s Planing Mill Equipment

ail lumbermen have always handled woodwork and always
sy should. I mean the ordinary country retailer. Lots of
and is simple to make. The trouble is that stuff that is easy
made by everybody in the business and is therefore sold on
margin. Some dealers imagine because they have handled
for a great many years that they know all about it, and
good idea what it should cost to make it.

mill and advertising mill work every week in the year, and then one
of your oldest friends would come in and ask you if you were fixed
to make a door frame ready to set in the building.

Most of the excitement comes when a fellow tries to figure out
the price to put on a given piece of woodwork. The oldest man in
the world can’t figure out the exact cost of an ordinary job of wood-
work. You can pay a man as much every year as your plant is worth
and he can’t take the work off a set of blueprints and specifications
and tell you. what it will cost to make it. This applies not only to the
small country planing mills, but to the large sash and door houses
in the large cities. Every retailer knows that if he sends the same
plans to a half dozen big woodworking factories for estimates, he’ll
get a half dozen estimates which will vary from 10 to 40 per cent. He
at once reaches the one logical conclusion and that is, that one fellow
is letting his stuff go mighty reasonable or the other ought to be put
in jail for grand larceny. But, stay, don’t judge these poor devils
too hastily. The next job you have, send it right back to these same
mills and the chan¢6s;are the high and low man will change places.
They wouldn’t take a dollar of your money unjustly, and they don’t
do it. Go and look over their books and they can prove to you that
it’s the stock stuff they iob that makes them rich and not the special
stuff they make. If a fellow keeps doing the same thing over and
over again every day, the cost of his product can be arrived at fairly
close, but if he does something different every day, then the fellow in
the office who does the estimating must shut his eyes and grab in
the dark. A good friend of mine who is connected with one of the
biggest sash and door houses in the country, told me that they had a
club in the city where his plant is located, to which only men who do
estimating on woodwork are eligible. There are about thirty men in
his city who belong. Once every week or two they bring all of the sf
estimates they have made since the last meeting and go over them
together. Each fellow tells how he arrived at the cost of the different
jobs. They don’t do this in order to fix prices and they couldn’t,
because the jobs have already been sold. But they do it in order to
post themselves on how to arrive at costs.

He Forgot to Figure in the Cost of the Lumber

This man told me that at one of these meetings a certain job
came up on which most of them had figured. It was an expensive
piece of quarter-sawed oak work done in the form of a dome. Every
man with any knowledge of woodwork knows that such work runs in-
to money fast. One fellow was about $900 low on his bid, and, of
course, all were interested in knowing how he was able to do it so
cheaply. Each item was gone over carefully and every fellow watched
his own figures for the big difference. In the wind up it was found
that the fellow with the low figure had left out the lumber. It isn’t
a difficult thing to leave out something in figuring what it costs to |
make woodwork. At the present time it takes about as smart a man
to let a job alone as it does to bid it in. One thing that a fellow :
nearly always manages to get into a job of woodwork is grief, and oe
another thing he just as often leaves out, but which, of course, doesn’t
usually amount to much—and that is profit—St. Louis Lumberman.

Forestry Battalion’s Work Appreciated

In the British House of Commons recently, Mr. Acland (Parlia-
mentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture), referring to the work —
of the Timber Committee of the House, made the following interest-
ing reference to the operations in connection with the conservation
of home grown timber, for which the Canadian Forestry Battalion
was recently formed and taken to England :—

Perhaps the most important Committee from a national point of
view of these three Committees is the Home-Grown Timber Com-
mittee. This Committee was set up at the end of November last. Its ‘
object was to increase our supvlies of home-grown timber, not by ‘
supplanting but by supplementing the efforts of the timber trade,
particularly as regards the supply of timber for Government De-
partments—the clear, outstanding obiect of its work. To the extent
to which this work can be successful there are two gains: First, the
State obtains timber at a reasonable price, and, secondly, which is "

even more important, we save in freight. of which normally a very
great deal is taken up by timber imports. The work of the Committee ~ ; =
has divided itself into three distinct parts; (1) the organization of pur- ~
chases; (2) the organization of plant; and (3) the organization of ~ |
labor. In all three directions the task has been not to take hold of
anv existing valuable machinery, but to make available machinery _
which would not otherwise have been available for this purpose at all. ES
We have had. in fact, to start from nothing and to build up an organiz- Be
ation which, I hone, is now becoming fairly effective. I will simply o

report results, which are that we have either supplied or purchased,
or are in the process of felling and converting, about 11,000,000 cubic
feet of soft wood for use as scantlings or sleeners and in dug-outs at
the front. and about 32,000,000 lineal feet of pit-pron and wire-en-.
tanglement timber. We have also bought less quantities of certain
hardwoods. Landowners, on the whole, have been most public-

spirited in offering us their timber at prices which, I think, have been
fair to them, but which often have been rather less than they could
have obtained elsewhere from timber merchants. It is a pleasure to
be able to add that the Crown has set an example with regard to the
use of the New Forest and the Windsor plantations such as the Com-
mittee would expect in a matter of this importance.

As to labor for timber-felling purposes, we have been in negotia-
tion as to, or have actually employed Belgians, Portuguese, Irish,
soldiers, Public-school boys, Maltese, Indians, Canadians, German

; prisoners, and labor found through the Employment Department of
the Board of Trade. Of all these different sources by far the most use-
ful and valuable have been the Canadians. I cannot express to the
Committee the energy which was shown by the Government of Can-
ada, as soon as the matter was put before them, and by the officers
whom they appointed in raising a Forestry Battalion, which has come
over here to work in our woods. The Government and the people of
Canada are naturally interested in their own timber, but they realized
that the position of the Empire as to freight was so serious that we
could not now be expected to supply our needs from Canada if it were
possible to supply them here at home. They have shown a true Im-
perial spirit in helping us to supply them in the most practical manner
possible. The only difficulty will be to keep these men with big
enough blocks of timber to cut. We, as a Committee, shall do our

» best, but if any member of the Committee here has a block of, say,
2,000 or 3,000 acres which he would like to see melt away before his
eyes under the most expert felling and conversion of our friends from
the other side of the Atlantic, I shall be most happy to receive his offer.

The Committee has made an arrangement for the employment
of 500 German prisoners. That number will be employed in felling
timber under conditions approved both by the War Office and the
Admiralty. In connection with this timber work it might interest the

Tree Felling Contest at the Front

Canadians and Australians Compete—Maoris the Speediest—French Exhibit Their hae

In a forest in France, during the spring of the present year, the
prowess of Canadian, Australian, and French wood-cutters was dis-
played in a contest, which was of great interest. Describing the event,
the Official Correspondent for Australia gives the following descrip-
tive account :—

A contest had been arranged between Australasians and Cana-
dians in France, to decide which could fell trees in quicker time. It
began really with the French forest authorities who insisted on the
well-known forest rule that no young trees under one metre twenty in
girth may be felled after the middle of May, because if you cut the
young tree after the sap begins to rise it wilk not grow again. The
British officer in control of the forest had obtained an extension until
the end of May, but he had to get felled by then all the young timber
which he wanted before the middle of September. He had borrowed
some Maoris to help, and he noticed how they cut and the sort of
sportsmen they were. He was struck with an idea. “How long do
you think it would take a New Zealander to fell that tree?” asked a

~French forest officer who was with him. “A minute,’ was the answer.
“Unbelievable,” exclaimed the Frenchman. A Maori was called up
and the tree was down in forty seconds.

After that a contest was arranged between Maoris and French
‘woodcutters. Trees had to be cut in the French style, which, it must
be admitted, is much neater and more economical, and about five times
as laborious—the trees are cut off at ground level, and so straightly
that the stump would not trip you if it were in the middle of the road.
[ach team consisted of six men, and felled twelve small trees, using
its own accustomed axes.

It’ was out of this that the big contest sprang. The Canadians and
Australasians challenged one another. This time the teams were to be
three men. Each team was to cut three trees—only service axes to
be used. [But otherwise each man could cut in any style he wished.
The trees averaged about one foot ten inches thick. The teams started
to practice—the Maoris for over a month, the others for about a week;

¥ and the officer's problem was solved.

The teams tossed for trees and for the order in which they were
to cut. I believe that when some question arose out of this toss the
Maoris immediately offered to toss again in order to have no advan-
tage from the result.

- It was interesting to see the difference of style. All three types
of colonial woodsmen cut the trees almost breast high, but the Austra-
lian seemed to be the only one who took advantage of that understroke

- | with a hiss through the clenched teeth which looks so formidable when
a you watch our timber-getters. It was a Canadian team which
ae started. They cut coolly, and the one whom I watched struck one

ing timber. We do not intend to obtain our main supplies thra
requisitioning, but we have obtained the powers chiefly so as to :
the best use of the timber, plant and labor which are available by. 0
centrating on the best timbered districts, in order to avoid the «
stant moving about of the plant and labor. The powers we hay
enable us to do that, and, by so doing, to be fair as between one own
and another. It would be rather hard on the man who is willin
throw his whole possessions into the service of the State if we s
have to take nearly all the timber he has got, while his neighbor
nothing. By using in certain cases the powers of requisitioning,
shall be able to ask both of them to make a fair contribution, in sj
of any legal and other difficulties which are sometimes found
tates.. It is chiefly these difficulties which stand in the way;
never been a case of lack of good will. Owners have alway
willing to sell, but there have been these difficulties, which the
of requisitioning enables us to get over. We may have to reqt
in a case if we know that timber merchants have options on tit
or have made purchases with no possibility of being able to
convert either now or in the immediate future. We want the
now. If the War Office say they want the timber, we shall
take it, otherwise it would not get converted at all. I want
it quite clear that it is not intended to use the powers of req

equipment for hauling wood. You cannot haul wood on skeleton log-
ging cars. Equip some of your cars for wood purposes, and it is not
a very expensive matter, but unless you do have these wood cars and
can keep the wood part of the business going you will find the opera-
tion not panning out, as they say. You don’t go into a lumber opera-
tion without carefully planning the whole system of operating and -
then get your organization together to carry out the work. This idea
should be carried out in pulp and acid wood getting. It need not be
on the extensive plan that has been used to develop the sawmill log-
ging, for it is not necessary, and considerable of the development made
for your lumbering precludes the necessity of further investment of
the kind, for your pulp and acid wood getting. The main item is
railroad building. This cost has been charged to the lumbering ac-
count. The next thing in order is getting your pulp and acid wood
to the railroad or logging road. Contract work now is the proper

contracts. If the stumpage lies up a considerable branch and the

it is very probable that a flume will necessarily have to be built. The

_operator had best build the flume, for it will, in a majority of cases,

fulfill its requirements much better by so doing. =.

Divide Work Into Small Jobs

Now you are ready to let out contracts. Divide up the area into
small jobs and make written contracts with your wood getter. The
average man of this business likes to be classed as a contractor, and
many of them take a certain measure of pride in being independent.
A contractor is his own boss to this extent. Your wood contractors
will be coming and going from their jobs to a greater or less degree,
but by having a large number of contractors and always some un-
developed wood territory ahead, if the job is fairly well managed, :
your aggregate quantity of wood coming will be quite satisfactory. ie
But, like any other part of a logging and lumber business, it takes
organization and careful directing to prove a success. Your contrac-
tors have given acres to cut into pulp and acid wood, and deliver to
and load on the cars at so much per cord, and the wood to fulfil stand-
ard wood specifications. The contractor may deliver his product di-
rect to the logging railroad, or he may have to skid the logs and poles
to places along flume line and cut the wood there and flume it to the ~ é
road. as

In considering the price to be paid per cord to your contractor =~
it is necessary to know pretty closely costs of the work as it could
be done by good workers through the different stages until the wood
is delivered on board the wood cars. The flume, as an adjunct to the
railroad in pulp and acid wood operations, is a necessity. For short ~
distances, it is much the cheaper way of transporting wood, and with —.
plenty of water, isa most satisfactory way of getting your wood out. -@
In the fall season, when it is dry, and water low, you can facilitate :
the flume work by building small dams at the head of main flumes

or tributaries of the stream leading to the main flume, and hold the

water back, letting the water out slowly by means of a little slide 5

gate, allowing just enough to go through to enable you to flume .

wood comfortably. When the water in the dam is exhausted, close the

gate and collect another head of water. ro
We have now gone through the various stages of the work inci-

dent to manufacturing and delivering pulp and acid wood. We now
come to the loggers’ interest in the matter.

The owner’s interest in the stumpage is what profit can be made
out of the operation. The contractor’s interest is for a job out of
which he can make wages. With the owner’s side of the question
there is the interest in the subject which you take, probably. Most =
owners are not in business, especially lumbering and logging, as a i;
matter of philanthropy. It is dollars and multiples of dollars that is
the consideration.

—

Is There a Profit? “Sao

This fact brings us squarely up to the issue: Can the owner 7
realize something out of his pulp and acid wood stumpage? The a4
answer is: “Yes.” With proper management you cannot, in reason, BE
charge any part of the cost of building your railroad to the cost of | 2
producing the wood. You can charge a reasonable cost to hauling 3
out your pulp and acid wood and transferring to the main line cars,
but such cost should be a comparative one as to value of the total — >
product transported over your road. A reasonable cost for delivering

your acid or extract wood, from the stump to the logging cars, ranges —
from $1.75. to $3.00 per cord, owing to location and conditions, this
being considered as being done by contractors. Then you have a small ~
overhead charge for a foreman. This will give you a fair stumpage
value under ordinary conditions for your output. You also have pro- -
duced a good trade for your commissary department; and that trade
is worth a considerable amount, for about seventy-five per cent. of —
the costs of producing your wood goes through your commissary at
a reasonable profit. : 4

Canadian Industry, Commerce
and Finance

Canadian business men, and
_ those in other countries doing
‘3 business, or prepared to do busi-
mess in Canada, have felt the
need. of a concise and accurate
source of information concerning
Canadian industry, commerce and
nance. Such a volume has just
een prepared, and published by
the Industrial and . Educational
Press, Limited, 45 St. Alexander
Street, Montreal.
a The opening chapters of the
ae: book are devoted to a discussion
a of modern business methods as
applied to Canada, in which the
author deals with the three divi-
sions—industry, commerce and
_ finance—in a lucid and authorita-
tive manner. The aim is to pre-
sent the information in such a way
as to make it easily comprehensi-
ble. The volume is of particular
value to the young business-man
and to foreigners doing business
with Canadian merchants. The
information is especially useful
to Canadian merchants at the pre-
: sent time when so many firms are
beginning to do an export trade,
__ to which a considerable portion of
the book is devoted.
First chapter on industry deals
_ with each of the various branches
of Canada’s industrial develop-
ment, in point of extent, produc-
tion and possibilities. In his
_ treatise on commerce the author
treats the subject in all its phases,
: foreign commerce, domestic com-
merce, ocean transportation, in-
land water transportation, rail-
roads, etc., are’ taken up in turn
and the methods and terms ex-
lained. The various markets of
the world are described, and a sec-
tion is devoted to weights and
measures in use the world over.
The chapter on finance deals with
a wide array of subjects. The
_ author first describes the develop-
_ ment of banking and instruments
_ of credit, and then deals with all
= methods in present use, describ-
4 ing each separately—foreign ex-
change, bills of lading and ship-
. ping receipts, etc., mortgages,
itieel, deeds, stocks, bonds, and
__ all classes of insurance are given
attention i in this chapter.
Another useful and principal
feature of the volume is the trade

able | commodities and Canadian
Pp oducers. This list embodies a

bia this summer, unless plenty of
rain comes soon. Several fires
are already reported in various
parts of the province, and every-
thing is being done to prevent
the outbreak of fires. The most
serious fire so far is one reported
from a little south of Port Moody,
during the third week in June.
Other fires are reported from the
Squamish, Powell River, Texada
Island, Green Point Rapids, Blub-
ber Bay, Wolfson Bay, Cortex
Island, Campbell River and Rock
Bay. A report from Victoria states
that many settlers have been
burned out by serious forest fires
in the Fort George and Hazelton
districts, but that not much valu-
able timber has been \lestroyed as

Want Subsidy on B.C. Shipments
At a recent meeting of the Bri-
tish Columbia Lumber Manu-
facturers’ Association, held at
Vancouver, B.C., the following
resolution was passed :—

“That it is the opinion of this
meeting in respect to Bill No. 43
now pending before the House,
while an effort in the right direc-
tion, and should be of general
benefit to the Province and the
Government is to be congratu-
lated to that extent, yet it does
not go far enough, and we would
suggest that a section should be
added whereby a subsidy of $1 a
ton deadweight should be paid to
the manufacturers shipping Brit-
ish Columbia products on ships
built in British Columbia. This,
in our opinion, would stimulate
the exportation of our products
on British Columbia ships and
materially assist the successful
operation of a merchant marine.

Fort George Prospects

The Minister of Lands for Brit-
ish Columbia reports that while
no sawmill timber is being logged
in the Fort George forest district,
present operations being confined
to the taking out of timber for
bridge and road _ construction,
mining development and cord-
wood, the future of the lumber
industry in that country is looked
upon as being hopeful. The
prairie demand for lumber has
enabled one firm to resume cut-
ting from a stock of logs which
has been on hand for years, while
another concern is preparing to
start up again. The recent reduc-
tion in the freight rate on lumber
between that district and Edmon-
ton will have a favorable effect,
and encourage the mills to cater
for other than local needs.

A despatch from Niagara-on-
the Lake under date of June 23rd
states that requirements for men
who desire to enlist in Forestry
Battalions are to be relaxed in
the case of laborers, to include
men up to forty-eight years who
may have lost a finger on either
or both hands, or one or two toes,
providing the lost digits are not
great toes or thumbs. The test
of eyes is also to be reduced.

Ontario

Weather conditions have been altogether against the lumber trade
during the past fortnight, and unless a great change for the better
takes “place within a very short time, it is certain that there will be
nothing to report in the way of good trade for the early part of the
present summer. So general and continuous has the bad weather been
that farmers are far behind in their operations. Their seeding has
been delayed in the great majority of cases and very few farmers are
giving any consideration to their requirements in the way of lumber.
Had there been a good season for seeding they would have been in
the market for considerable quantities of building materials, as most
of the Ontario farmers are well to do and can afford to make a number
of improvements to their buildings. Now, it is probable that most of
this work will be postponed for another year and the retail lumber-
men will be minus just that much good trade.

As there is little in the way of house building in progress in the
cities and as the country district trade is so quiet, the chief sources of
business now are the requirements of manufacturers who consume
lumber as a raw material, and the warehouse, factory, and public
building work in the cities. In Toronto, there is a moderate amount
of work of the latter description in progress, which is keeping stocks
on the move to some extent, although it is only a fraction of what it
would be under normal conditions. In the other cities of Ontario a
small amount of building of this class is also reported.

Manufacturers of furniture and musical instruments continue
active and their lumber requirements are fairly large. The munition
box industry has come to the front again with extensive requirements
in connection with the contracts which were let during the month of
June. Just to what extent this business will be a source of profit to
the box manufacturers and the lumber producers and wholesalers, is
a matter of considerable doubt, as the prices are admitted on all sides
to be so close as to make the proposition a questionable one from the
manufacturing point of view. However, one satisfactory result will
be the actual consumption of considerable quantities of stock which
might otherwise be holding the market down.

The hemlock trade is only fair and it is difficult to dispose of
anything except No. 1 stocks.

Eastern Canada

The letting of extensive shell box contracts, of which consider-
able quantities have gone to Montreal firms, is the most important
event in connection with the lumber trade in that city during the
past few weeks. Tenders are also being called for a large quantity
of rifle boxes, and the trade expect that “between these two lines the
movement of lumber will be pretty satisfactory for a few months.
_ The building trade at Montreal shows no improv ement. The export
‘trade with the United States is moderate in amount. The export
trade to the United Kingdom has recently experienced an important
“reduction in the cost of ocean freight space. Rates declined 90s. per
standard within one week and are now quoted at 275s. This is the
result of the Government having released a number of vessels, and
also is partly due to small offerings of grain. Quite a quantity of
lumber is being exported.

At Ot: John, N.B., the trade has fallen off considerably during the
past fortnight. Practically no new buildings have-been announced
and the prospects in this direction are not bright. Prices locally are
somewhat easier. Refuse stocks are too plentiful, and there is not
much demand for boards. The United States demand for boards is
also very weak and prices are easier. Lath are inclined to be weaker.
The English market has fallen off £3 to £4 per standard and deal
buyers are hesitating about making contracts for future deliv ery.
Freights are a little easier.

The best price for spruce frames at Boston has been shaded a
little and they are now offered freely at $26, while some business is
reported at $25.50. There is a better demand for random than for
frames, and quotations are :—2 x 3, $20.50 to $24; Z x 4, $21.50 to $22;
2x 5and 2 x 6, $21 to $21.50; 2x 8, $24.50 to $25; 2 x 10, $26 to $26.50;
2x 12, $27 to $27.50; Good covering boards 5 in. and up wide, 8 ft.
and up long are bringing $21.50. Matched boards in stock lengths
are offered at $25 to $26. Eastern hemlock prices are steady at Boston
and the volume of trade is fair. Some eastern hemlock manufacturers
are quoting $22.50 on clipped boards, stock lengths. Others will take
$22 and some fair boards may be had at $21.50.

There is a fair demand for shingles at Boston and the removal
of railroad embargoes is permitting a free movement in southern New
England territory. Some good makes of white cedar extras are quoted

at $3.50. Clears at $3.60 “and at $3.55. Fairly good extras may be

Market Correspondence

Uncertain Trade Conditions at St. John, N. B.

St. John, N.B., June 23.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman).—
Locally, the lumber trade market has had quite a setback during the
past two weeks, and so far as material for building in and about the
city is concerned, it has become a pretty hard seller. The month of
May was a month well up to the average of any good year. Asa mat-
ter of fact, it was much better in many cases. Practically no new
buildings have come on the market during the past two weeks, and
the future looks doubtful, although these days one can never tell what
will happen. If a turn for the better should come in the war it will
no doubt stimulate people to open up real estate propositions and
give a stimulus to building, but this is unlooked for at least for some
months to come. Prices locally are not as good as they were. Stocks
of refuse lumber are excessive. Boards are not in demand, going
steadily downwards, as they did last season, but should any demand
arise for them, the price would no doubt go up. Last season the Ad-
miralty stepped in and purchased large quantities for huts, but this
year, so far, very few orders have come on the market for boards.

The American market for boards, as well as everything else, is
weakening, and at present, indications are that the market will slide
off for some time to come. During the winter and spring it showed
signs of good things for summer months, but it has not lived up to
the indications. At Boston to-day the base price is not over $24.50,
and no doubt further concessions will be made.

Laths are also following the downward trend, but not to such an
extent as long lumber. At present, lath are not worth over $2.50 f.o.b.
St. John, but stocks are held largely in a few hands and this will no
doubt be a steadying influence on the market.

The English market is said to’ have fallen off £3 to £4 per
standard; this has made the deal buyers hesitate in buying anything
more for future delivery.

Freights are somewhat easier, but in the same dangerous position
as for some months. A charter was said to have been “made from St.
John at 300 shillings, which is considerably under the last quotation.
Short lumber prices remain firm in shooks and shingles.

The mills are all sawing, but many are short of logs and no doubt
will close down early.

The drives in the river are coming along in good shape and with
the present pitch of water all logs in the main river should be in
booms before many days.

Shell Box Contracts Helping Montreal Trade

Montreal, June 26.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman).—The
most important factor in the last fortnight is the letting of shell box
contracts by the Imperial Munitions Board. Montreal firms have
their share of the orders, two companies obtaining orders, each for
300,000 boxes, which are of a new type so far as Canada is concerned,
and in which a considerable amount of three-ply material is used.
The Imperial Munitions Board has also called for tenders for a large
quantity of rifle boxes, the specifications for which are stated to be
very stiff. A contract for shooks for 400,000 boxes for a British firm,
provisionally placed in Montreal, was subsequently cancelled on the
ground that the price was too high. Many inquiries from Ontario
have been received, asking for quotations on suitable box lumber, but
it is said that there is some difficulty in quoting in view of the con-
tinued scarcity of certain descriptions. Apart from the box there is
no change in conditions. The building trade is much about the same,
and there is no prospect of any substantial improvement. Most of
the permits are for small houses.

A fair amount of business is being done with the United States.
Barges are scarce, owing to a break in the canal, and with lumber-
men bidding briskly for the boats available, freight quotations have
advanced from $2.50 to $3.50 per 1,000 feet.

In the matter of freight charges, the United Kingdom export
situation has undergone a quite unexpected change. Rates dropped
90s. per standard within a week, and at the time of writing stand
round about 275s. This is due to the release of vessels by the Goy-

ernment, but more particularly to the insignificant amount of
offering. The shippers of the latter commodity are holding off,
to the “smaller demand from the United Kingdom, and as lum
rates are largely affected by the quantity of grain shipped and
rates, there has been a sympathetic downward movement in
charges for lumber. A considerable quantity of lumber is being «
ported, some on contracts made at the high figures prevailing at
beginning of the season, but firms are not disposed to book hea
ahead on a falling freight market. Some extensive shipments

Limited Capoten and Indifference of Canadian Exporters Responsible for
Smallness of Trade—Openings for Some Canadian Stocks
By H. R. MacMillan*

The use of timber in India is extremely limited. The annual per
capita consumption of timber, including all forms of rough wood
used for fuel and other purposes, is estimated to be 1% cubic feet,
of which four-fifths is used for fuel. The total quantity of timber used,
aside from fuel, is 96,000,000 cubic feet, equal to about 960, 000,000

- feet board measure, or three board feet per year per head of the popu-
lation. By far the greater part of this is used in the form of rough
logs and poles for building purposes.

The use of imported timber is confined exclusively to the in-
dustrial centres, railroads, public works and military necessities. The
agricultural population uses absolutely no imported timber.

That Indian forests are able almost completely to meet the re-
quirements of the country for timber is due to the splendid forest
administration inaugurated by the British Government half a century
ago. About forty per cent. of the country is under forest. The whole
of this area is administered carefully to prevent destruction by fire
and overcutting, and although at the time of British occupancy the
more accessible forests had been almost ruined, wise management has
already greatly increased their productivity. There still remain in
some provinces,

able machinery and equipment have not been rendered accessible.
It is natural to find, therefore, that the timber imports of India,
aside from teak, which is brought in from Java and Siam to the extent

of $800,000 to $1,250,000 yearly, consist almost entirely of rough lum-

bers for temporary uses only, or manufactured wooden articles intro-
duced by Europeans or rendered necessary by the development of
industries.
So far as can be learned, the total export of rough timber from
Canada to India during 1913-14 consisted of a cargo of railway sleep-
. ers sent in 1914. After railroad sleepers the most important item of
Indian timber imports, from a Canadian standpoint, is that classified
in India as deals and pine. The imports of deals and pine, which
- include all soft coniferous lumber, in the form of timbers, dimension,
rough or dressed boards or box shooks (excepting tea chests) during
1913-14 were drawn from the following countries :—

Douglas fir constitutes boat. 57.4 per cent. of the total softwood
imports of India. This is due to the fact that it more completely
fills the requirements of the Indian market than any of its important
ISuropean competitors.

: Whenever permanent buildings and structures are being erected
_in India, whether in the large coast cities, on important public works
or in smaller towns, the presence of white ants prevents the use of
timber. There are no wooden floors in India and the only wood found
--. in a building is in the doors, door frames, sash and window frames
. and, in the older buildings, beams and joists. Everything else is
3 brick, stone and cement. Modern buildings are built with steel joists.
_ Ant-proof timbers only are used in buildings. None of the imported
softwood timbers are ant-proof. The same policy is followed in rail-
road construction, the sleepers are frequently the only timber on the
- -failroad.

Douglas fir is the only timber procurable in the long len;
for falsework in bridges or large buildings. Even in the

past few months because of freight increases.

The importers in India have eyen been under the impression that no
Canadian ports were in a position to export Douglas fir cargoes. Of
all the managers of timber importing companies in India only one,
when directly asked, was aware that cargoes of such timber as they
secure on Puget Sound could be secured with equal satisfaction and
despatch from British Columbia. Even this gentleman had only learn-
ed within a few months that Douglas fir could be secured in British
Columbia. This incredible state of ignorance on the part of the Indian
importers can only be understood when the manner of handling the
business is known.

There being no liner service from the Pacific ports of North
America to India the timber trade is entirely dependent upon tramp
cargoes. The importation of Douglas fir is therefore in the hands
of companies strong enough to finance cargo shipments and carry
the stocks for the year or so necessary to turn over a cargo in the
Indian market. There are only five or six such companies in India.
All are large trading companies interested in jute mills, coal mines,
general engineering, importation of cotton piece goods, railroad con-
struction, etc., with whom timber is only a side line. The timber
branch of the business is in the hands of a subordinate employee of
office experience. North American purchasing agents of these com-
panies are located without exception in the United States. The tim-
ber buyers in India have not had any inducement to inquire if they
could secure their supplies from brokers or shippers in Canada and
no Canadian shippers have made any effort to get into the Indian
market. Within the last few months the situation has slightly im-
proved. One of the leading importers has established connections
with a Canadian company and several others are desirous of doing so.
The names and North American buying connections of the Indian
importers of Douglas fir have been sent to the Commercial Intelligence
Branch of the Department of Trade and Cormmerce, Ottawa.

Once relations are established so that Canadian exporters secure
inquiries sent out from India there should be no difficulty about secur-
ing a good share of the business. The sentiment of the importers is
all in favor of buying in Canada if prices are equal.

The usual cargo imported to India is 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 feet.
The specification as a rule calls for nothing but merchantable, a
grade which has been found satisfactory for the uses to which Douglas
fir has been put in India. One-third of the cargo is ordinary timbers,
the remainder consists of a small quantity of 5@-inch by 6-inch, 1-inch
by 6-inch, and the balance in %-inch, 1-inch, 1%-inch, 2-inch, 3-inch,
4-inch, 5-inch, and 6-inch by 12-inch in 16-foot to 30-foot lengths.
The importers do not do a retail business. Very rarely does any one
importer bring in more than one cargo a year. The timber is carried
in stock several months at least and is seldom carefully piled or pro-
tected from the weather.

A large proportion of the Douglas fir imported is resawn. All
resawing is done by hand with whip or frame saws and costs about
$10 per thousand feet. If the specifications were varied so as to de-
crease the amount of sawing in India the cost of the timber would
be decreased. As a matter of fact, however, the interest of the im-
porter lies in the other direction, his chief concern is to make his
stock suitable for all needs. He accomplishes this by carrying a
larger proportion than is really necessary in timbers which can be
cut down to any size. The profit on handling Douglas fir is attractive,
there being only a few firms in the business the competition is not
ruinous.

The timber is usually sold out of the yard at $5.30 to $11.60 per
thousand feet more than the landed cost in addition to any charges
for resawing. Very much larger profits have been made during the
The stocks now re-
maining in India (March, 1916) are held at $78.30 to $96.60 per thous-
and feet for merchantable. The ordinary selling price for merchant-
able was in normal times $30 to $35 per thousand feet. All timber
in India is bought and sold by the ton of 50 cubic feet, equivalent
in sawn and square timber to 600 board feet.

Increased Use of Douglas Fir
The increased use of Douglas fir is dependent on the decrease in

the use of Scandinavian and Austrian timber and the increased indus-

trial development of India.

Scandinavian and Austrian pines, which were in normal times
higher in price than Douglas fir, owed their ability to compete to
the fact that they could be imported by persons of limited capital or
credit in small portions by liner shipments, and that they were used
for packing cases, chiefly in the textile industry. Austrian pine was
imported chiefly to Bombay, in rough planks, 1l-inch x 3-inch x 12
feet at about $33 to $42 per thousand feet. Scandinavian timbers,
which were used to a limited extent dressed and matched, were im-
ported at about $45 to $50 per thousand. .

The best prospect for meeting the Austrian and Scandinavian
competition, including the importations of Baltic timber via the
United Kingdom, which is centred chiefly in Bombay, is by the in-
troduction of British Columbia spruce both in merchantable and

and application of fire-resistive wood, one of which naturally deals
with the problem as applied to building lumber and the other as
applied to shingle roofs. The requirements for a successful fire-retard-
ent will be very different for these two classes of use. A good shingle

fire-retardent must be a compound which will be (1) fire-retardent,

(2) permanent, that is, that it will remain unchanged on the roof, (3)
that it will not be soluble in water, so as not to contaminate water for
possible use in cisterns, etc., (4) that it will have a neat and attractive
appearance, and (5) that it will be reasonable in cost.

In the case of building lumber, the question of insolubility in
water is not of so great importance, and it frequently will also be
found that the class of material used, for interior work particularly,
will permit processes too expensive for use on shingle roofs. It will
thus be seen that any investigation dealing with wood in relation to
’ fire-retardent substances is an extremely complex and far-reaching
matter.

The Tests

After a complete analysis of the problem, it appeared to us that
the first thing to be done was to obtain definite information of the
relative and actual fire-resistive qualities of the principal compounds
advocated for rendering wood fire-resistive. It was determined to
make the preliminary investigation with a small electric furnace
developed by the United States Forest Service, to whom we are
indebted for advice and assistance in this connection.

Without going into a detailed description of the apparatus, it
may be said that the furnace is one in which treated wood is tested
under definite conditions, which are identical for all of the tests made.
The tested sections are exposed at the same distance to a plate heated
electrically to a constant temperature (in all of the tests so far made
the temperature was 450 degs. Centigrade, or 832 degs. Fahrenheit. )
The efficiency of the material tested was measured by the length of
time which it took, under the conditions described, to bring about
ignition.

; For these preliminary investigations all of the pieces of wood
tested were kiln-dried. The fire-retardents used were bought in the
open market or were contributed by the companies manufacturing
them. The various compounds were applied to the test pieces as
nearly as possible in accordance with the specific directions given by
the manufacturer. Immediately preceding the tests, the pieces were
carefully weighed, and they were again weighed after the tests. The
difference in weight may be taken as a general indication of the relative
value of the various compounds after ignition had once taken place.
During the progress of the tests careful records were kept of the period
of ignition and the duration of the burning of each piece tested. In
addition to this, records were kept of the general characteristics, such
as the intensity of burning, rate of spread of the flames, etc.

Up to the present time approximately 24 compounds have been
tested. Two series of tests have been in progress, one using red cedar
shingles and the other using yellow pine panels 6 in. x 12 in. x % in.
thickness. The manner in which the tests were conducted was the
same for both series.

The Shingle Roof

The proper construction of a fire-retardent shingle roof involves
not only the treatment of the shingles with an actual fire-retardent,
but also the problem of using a material which will withstand the
action of the weather and which will not contaminate the rain-water.
_It is obvious that a compound may show very high fire-retardent effici-
ency, but very poor lasting power on a roof, either because of checking
or flaking or by being more or less soluble in water.

In order to get some preliminary information as to the perman-
ence of various compounds advocated for application to shingles, a
number of experimental roof sections were constructed, each 6 ft. x
6 ft. These have now been under observation for approximately nine
months. Each roof section has a gutter and a downspout leading into
a barrel, so that the water coming from each individual section is
collected for subsequent examination.

The Problems

It was inevitable that, early in the development of the investiga-
tion, we were confronted with an increasing number of problems and
with a growing realization of the necessity for widening the scope of
the investigations if we were to obtain the practical results contemp-
lated. It should be remembered that the problem of first importance
is getting an efficient fire-retardent shingle roof. The application of
the fire-retardent must result*in reducing the flying-brand hazard, and

this must be done at minimunr expense. The principal investigations _

so far conducted have dealt almost wholly with the question of fire-
retardent efficiency.
The Needs
While these investigations have thrown much light on the pre-
sent status of the fire-retardent question, the principal results ob-
tained indicate in the strongest possible manner that it will be abso-
lutely essential to enlarge upon these investigations before they can

be practically: applied. The present apparatus, while it -has given —

4 parte

and is giving valuable indications, will in all probability have to |
considerably modified. The means at command have not permitted
reconstructing this apparatus or undertaking a number of exceedin
important tests to increase its efficiency. The importance of hay

of the utmost importance, because in the event that one or more st
fire-retardents prove to be commercially practicable, it will be nec
sary to control the character of the fire-retardent, so that one may a
all times know what class of material is being sold. a
The second line of investigations (which should be very conside
ably extended and enlarged) deals with the construction of me
exposed roof sections for testing permanence and possible water ce
tamination. In addition there should be a considerable number
such roof sections available, treated with the same compounds
used for actual ignition tests after varying periods of exposure.
the results obtained in the electric furnace are of great sign
it should not be forgotten that after all a severe roof test u
oughly known conditions will be necessary to draw reaso
curate conclusions. The roof sections which are under ob:
at the present time are too few in number, and were erected
modest means at our command to arrive at a method for mak
determination. It is not at all impracticable to have a very
able number of such roof sections constructed in various
the country in order to obtain data as to the influence of
climatic conditions upon the permanence of the material. It
ready been shown that, after only nine months, some of the c
tested are absolutely unfit from an exposure standpoint, althot
very high value as fire-retardents. _ _
Other Points ~~ Tae
Intimately connected with the problem of rendering roo
resistive is the question of the relative heat conductivity =
shingle when compared with tile, slate and other forms of
ing. A very small beginning has been made in this direc
installation of self-registering thermometers in the garret of
ing having a wooden shingle roof, a corresponding instru;
protected place out-of-doors, and a third in a garret of
covered with a metal roof. While the fire-retarding qua
wooden shingle are of the first importance, the allied pr
conductivity is so intimately connected with the fire-r
that the investigation of the two problems should go hat

Conclusions

The conclusions so far reached indicate that several
are now available which, if properly applied to wooden
give a shingle roof a very high degree of fire-resistance.
compounds at the present time have every guarantee of
so far as this can be determined from a chemical investiga
are insoluble in water and give a roof a pleasing appearan
terior work, or for such places where direct weathering is
importance, a very considerable number of compounds can
mended, ranging from good mineral paints to more expen:
als. The strongest emphasis should be placed on the state
made, that these results must be regarded as purely pre
that it will be absolutely essential to carry out some of t
gested before definite recommendations can be made as to
extended practical application of one or more of the substance
gated. eae

The results certainly indicate that there is every pr
a number of substances will be not only practicable, but
which with simple directions can be applied by the ordi
owner and give him a high degree of fire protection, \
roof or in a building. The time is here now when advz
be taken of the facts so far ascertained by enlarging on
the demonstration tests. When such enlarged determ
been made, there will be no reason why the manufacturers
should not go before the public with a perfectly definite a
statement as to what may be reasonably expected of
when properly safeguarded. P

Machinery and Equipment

What Manufacturers of Logging, Sawmill and Woodworking Appliances are Doing

New Lighting System for Lumber Camps

The accompanying illustration shows an
interesting equipment for lighting service,
which is known as the “Carbic Light.” This
system of furnishing light in isolated places is
especially adaptable for use in connection
with lumber camp operations, being of service
not only for actual bush operations, but also
for the hghting of the lumber camps. ‘The
operation of “Carbic Light” is a very simple
matter. It produces a powerful, white light,
and the equipment requires no attention. It
is portable, and is absolutely safe, as well as
inexpensive.

The special feature of the Carbic system
of lighting is the use of ‘“Carbic cakes,” which
take the place of ordinary carbide of cal-
cium. The carbic cakes are simply dropped
into the machine as required and each of these
cakes will produce approximately 15 cubic
feet of pure acetylene. By the construction of
the generators, the gas is automatically pro-
duced as required; that is to say, as soon as
the lights are turned out generation ceases,
and it 1s resumed when the lamps are again
put in operation. There is, therefore, no
waste, nor is there any after-generation, which
is such an unpleasant feature in connection
with some classes of acetylene lights; none of
the characteristic unpleasant smell of carbide
is experienced. Each cake will generate up to
the last fragment. The operating expense is
below that of ordinary coal oil. One filling of
“Carbic Cakes” will keep the lamp burning
steadily up to 12 hours, giving from 500 to
5,000 candle power as required. This system
is possibly the newest, most simple, and most
efficient method of producing a volume of
perfect light, by which work can be carried
on the same as in daylight. Many lumbermen
are at present using the Carbic Light System
with success. W. L. Foster, 8 Lombard
Street, Toronto, is the Canadian agent.

New R.H. Smith Company Officers
The R. H. Smith Co., Ltd., St. Catharines, Ont., saw, knife and
tool manufacturers, announce the following new officers: President,
Mr. C. J. Shurly, Galt; Vice-President, Mr. R. F. Shurly, Toronto:
General Manager and Treasurer, Mr. Fred Shurly, St. Catharines:
General Superintendent, Mr. H. W. Byrne, St. Catharines; Secretary,
Miss M. M. Parks, St. Catharines. :
The President, Mr. C. J. Shurly, has had a long acquaintance

C. J. Shurly, Galt, Ont.
President

R. F. Shurly, Toronto, Ont.
Vice-President

with the saw trade, having been for many years senior member of
Shurly & Dietrich, Maple Leaf Saw Co., Galt, Ont., from which com-
pany he withdrew some six years ago.

Mr. l*red Shurly, General Manager, is also well known to dealers
and users of saws throughout Canada, having been associated with
his father as representative salesman, as well as having a practical
experience of the business. —

Mr. H. W. Byrne, General Superintendent, has had a wide ex-
perience in the manufacture and use of saws, both in the United States
and Canada, fourteen years of which he spent with the lumbering in-
dustries in the Ottawa Valley.

The new officers have acquired all the stock and holdings of the
R. H. Smith Company, Limited,, have no connection whatever with
any other concern and are purely Canadian in their organization.
They are now remodelling and equipping their plant with new and
improved machinery, which will enable them to maintain the
“Leader” quality of goods.

It is interesting to note that the R. H. Smith Company, Limited,
is the oldest saw works in the Dominion, having been established in
1855 by Joseph J*lint, and has been doing an uninterrupted business
for over 61 years. It is also of interest that the Vice-President, Mr.
R. F. Shurley, and the General Manager, Mr. I*red Shurly, are grand-
sons of the founder.

The slogan of the company is “Goods of Quality.”

A Hose Reel Adaptable to the Lumber Trade

Adequate fire protection is one of
the first and most necessary consid-
erations with every sawmill owner
and lumberman, and any new de-
vice that will eliminate the danger
of fire is always of interest. We il-
lustrate herewith the Montgomery
Faultless Hose Reel, which is meet-
ing with great success, and is par-
ticularly adaptable for installation
in mill buildings. The simplicity
of operation of the laultless Reel at
once commends it.’ One of its
strong and exclusive features is that
it is instantaneously automatic, and
is fool-proof. It can be attached to
the wall, or built in, in cabinet form.
The reel is so built that the water
can be turned on without unwind-
ing the hose, as the staves support-
ing the hese collapse, allowing of its
expansion. Many of the provincial
buildings throughout the country
have been equipped with the Faultless Hose Reel, which is manu-
factured by the Montgomery Faultless Hose Reel Co., 47 Gore Vale
Avenue, Toronto.

produced by Adam Hall Limited, being only 23 inches in diameter,
and consequently lower in price. It is made with a solid steel body,
cast ends and adjustable shelves, and is a successful addition to the

Hoe Chisel Tooth Saws =

Mr.’H. J. Cooper, sales manager for R. Hoe & Company, 504-520
Grand Street, New York (America’s oldest saw manufacturers), has
just paid a business visit to Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Pro-
vinces. Mr. Cooper reports an exceptional improvement in lumber
manufacturing conditions in these provinces, and states that the
future outlook for the lumber industry throughout the whole of the ©
North American Continent is decidedly bright. 7

Naturally Mr. Cooper is particularly pleased with the increased
demand this year for Hoe chisel tooth saws, chisel bits and shanks. —
Hoe products have been before the buying public now for nearly
ninety years, and the fact that their sales this year show a substantial
increase is evidence of their exceptional merit.

Through the efforts of Mr. H. J. Mackin, of the Canadian West-
ern Lumber Company, Fraser Mills, B. C., a donation of 30,000 feet
of lumber has been made by a few of the larger B. C. mills to the
Vancouver Aero Club, for the purpose of building hangars for the
use of the B. C. Aviation School which opened at Coquitlam on
June 15th.

Philip T. Coolidge, who has been assistant State Forester of New
Jersey since January, 1915, has opened an office for timber estimating —
and forestry work in the Stetson Building, 31 Central Street, Bangor,
Me. He will undertake particularly such work as timber estimating
and mapping, surveying, management of lumbering operations, super-
vision of stumpage contracts, and forest planting, having had wide
experience which fits him especially for such lines of work.

“EXTRA” “STANDARD” ‘ACME WATERPROOF”’

These three brands are made for three different services and each brand is the best quality
made from selected hides with the stretch taken out.

‘‘Goodhue Belts” stretch less than any other belt by 15 to 25 percent. This
quality effects a great saving because it is unnecessary to be continually shorten-
ing the belt to keep it taut.

‘‘Acme Waterproof” brand is made for the wet places in a mill and will
give a remarkable service under the most trying conditions.

LEVIATHAN and
ANACONDA have
been sold on a “make
good” basis for over
thirty years. If they
hadn’t made good we
would have been out
of business long ago.
The fact that our busi-
ness is progressing
rapidly is ample proof
of the merit of this
belting.

Why not give us a trial order and let LEVIATHAN or ANACONDA prove itself?

We have practically eliminated all other leather belting from our works and
are using Spartan Belting entirely on the Dry Grinders, which place we are sure
is the most severe use for leather belting there is in the State of Michigan.

We have been experimenting with leather belting for the past three years to
A get a belt that would give us service. We have not limited ourselves to price

: on this belt. For this purpose the life of the belt ordinarily is short, there-
* fore, it is our desire to buy the best belting that we can possibly obtain,

oH regardless of price.

Our Engineer has advised us that Spartan Belting has in every way met with
our expectation and this has reduced our belt expense approximately 40% within
the past fifteen months. Within the past twelve months we have discontinued
using all other makes and are using this Spartan Belt entirely as it has been
the belt which has stood up for this particular purpose.
Very truly yours,

Spartan Belting is daily proving its efficiency in plants of every description—saw mills
as well as machine tool plants. It is proving this efficiency so conclusively that Spartan 1s
fast becoming the universal equipment for all drives where the physical conditions are
quickly ruinous to ordinary belting.

Th: use of Spartan Belting in your mill will mean the solution of your Hard-drive
problems—it will mean greater, more efficient and more economical service. Why not
select one or more of your difficult drives and put Spartan to the test?

--Good Files

Promote Efficiency

You cannot get away from the fact
that when a man is working with
a good tool his pride in his work in-
creases. A file worn smooth irritates
the most even-tempered workman,
while the high-strung, skilled mechan-
ic who works with a bad file for half

an hour-costs his employer more in

(
¥
«

| than possibly a dozen files may cost

wasted mental and physical energy

him—in the final results.

Educate your men to throw away

their files when they reach their ‘‘in-
efficient point.” It is economy. It
is efficiency. It promotes good tem-

per at the bench.

WITH.DUNLOP GIBRALTAR”
BELTING

YOU CANNOT
BEAT “ GIBRALTAR”

Now, more than ever, because of the great scarcity
of leather, rubber belting is coming to its own.

For this reason—and also because “ Gibraltar” will give

you a hundred times more satisfaction than either Leather

or Balata—we urge you to procure a sample of “Gibraltar
Redspecial” from one of our branches.

They are located in Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary,
Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, London, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa,
Montreal, St. John, Halifax.

When you procure the sample, cut it open, try to pull the plies
apart, and note the weight of duck, strength of friction. Then com-
pare “ Gibraltar Redspecial”’ with any other make of belting.

“Gibraltar” is constructed of the very best duck. The rubber
friction is of the highest quality and has adhesive powers second to
none. Separation of plies and stretching are unknown in “Gi-

braltar” Belting. These are some of the reasons why the
sales of “Gibraltar” have reached their present great pro-
portions.

For Drives, Rotaries, Edgers, Lath and Shingle
Machines, or any kind of Transmission work, there is
nothing better than Dunlop “Gibraltar Redspecial ”
Belting.

Why not get on the right “Belt Line?”

it into something for which there is a market, is undoubtedly great.

One need only mention a few of the chief methods in which the
material that formerly went to waste is now being converted for use-
ful purposes, in order to be convinced of the possibility of making
great advances as a result of further study. The most natural way of
using up sawmill waste is in the manufacture of small wooden arti-
cles by mechanical processes, such as sawing, turning, etc. Much
progress has been made in the production of laths, box shooks, small
dimension stock, woodenware, novelties, mouldings, pegs, toothpicks,
wooden floors, excelsior, etc. The problem in connection with these
lines of conversion seems to be very largely one of organization, or
in other words, of bringing the sawmill man into closer touch with
the consumers who manufacture such small products from wood. Pulp
and paper production undoubtedly will consume an ever increasing
quantity of sawmill waste. Many other lines might be mentioned.

Probably the greatest advance in the utilization of sawmill waste
product is that which has been made in the use of sawdust. Its chief
use of course is as fuel. Other uses are as insulating material, bed-
ding for stables, covering for butcher shop floors, polishing material]
for metals, cleaning material, floor sweeping compounds, artificial
wood, moulding, composition board, composition flooring linoleum,
special cement, poruos bricks, low grade pulp for fibre board, etc.
Shavings also are put to many uses either at the plant or in domestic
use as packing material, bedding, material for drying wet land, mix-
ing with concrete, etc.

We have sought only to indicate some of the uses that have al-
ready been developed for wood waste. It will be noted that in the
majority of these cases the use is dependent to a great extent upon
the fact that the material is readily available for the consumer with-
out any considerable added expense in the way of transportation cost.
The cost of transportation is one of the chief causes for restraining the
economic use of much of the waste material of the sawmill. With
increase in poulation, the opportunities for reducing waste will in-
crease. It is, therefore, of much importance to the manufacturers of
lumber that the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada should give
this problem a large share of their attention. That they are laying
plans for doing so and have, in fact, already made a promising begin-
ning, we understand is the case, and we hope that before long they
will be able to publish information upon the subject that will be of
benefit to the industry.

A School of Salesmanship

In working out ways of combining entertainment and profit
through the holding of conventions, our friends across the interna-
tional boundary unquestionably carry off the palm. Their latest
stunt was the holding of a convention known as the S. O. S., or School
of Salesmanship, which was brought off successfully at St. Louis, Mo.,
on June 26th, 27th and 28th, under the auspices of the Southern Pine
Association. During these three days, the most prominent and suc-

_ cessful,salesmen in the association delivered addresses, telling one an-

other how they managed to sell southern pine. Their addresses were
remarkable for their variety and for the fund of practical information
which they contained. By way of a sample, we have reproduced else-
where in this issue parts of the address of Mr. M. B. Nelson, General
Sales Manager for the Long-Bell Lumber Company, of Kansas City,
Mo., whose subject was “Co-operation with Distributors and Con-
sumers.”

Mr. Nelson’s opening remark is one which may be questioned to
some extent. though many lumbermen give it full credit, namely, that
there is no other manufactured commodity produced anywhere in the
world to which so little thought and study are given to the merits of
its use or promotion by the manufacturers and distributors, as is given
to lumber. Mr. Nelson was referring particularly to Yellow Pine
and we are not in a position to agree with him or criticize his state-
ment, but it is a good statement for our purpose and has a sufficient
shate of truth in it to form the basis of an argument in favor of
greater co-operation for the good of the lumber business.

Undoubtedly there is far less of this co-operation than the merits
of lumber call for, and Mr. Nelson places the blame chiefly upon the

sales organizations. Getting down to the root of the matter he finds
that the average young man who goes into the lumber business with
the idea of becoming a salesman, spends a little time at a mill or in
a yard or office, and then considers that all he needs in order to be-
come a full-fledged salesman is an order book, some expense money,
and sufficient familiarity with the vocabulary of the trade to enable
him to talk to the average retailer whom he visits.

We have seen something of this sort of thing in Canada and we
know that it is much more prevalent than it should be. The selling
of lumber is a task which demands far more than the ordinary intel-
ligence and acquaintance with fundamental facts of the business. It
is not now as it was in the good old days when lumber was easy to sell,
or rather when it sold itself. The man on the road for lumber to-
day must not only know what his stock is good for, but why it is
good and in what ways it is superior to the many lines of substitutes
that are fighting for the same buisness.

The first requisite for turning out the best possible class of sales-
mai is to educate him about the product he handles. This should be
done far more thoroughly than is customary during the early stages
of a young man’s business career. The prospective lumber salesman
should be given a long enough term in the wodds and at the mill to
become familiar with the raw material in its natural state and as it
comes to the mill. Such an experience will be a fine preventive in
after years when he is tempted to cut prices. It will recall to him
the fact that the cost of production is not a simple economic term,
but a matter of great importance as a basis upon which to commence
figuring out prices. He should have enough experience in connection
with the retail trade to appreciate the difficulties and problems of the

Why Not Get Closer Together ?

Retail lumber dealers are developing quite a tendency to co-op-
erate with one another in promoting their mutual trade interests, and
are getting encouraging results in practically all cases. One of their
ways of improving trade conditions is to watch the producer and the
wholesaler and make a note of any cases where stock is sold by them
direct to the consumer. When they find someone transgressing in
this way they tell one another about him and make things so hot for
him that he gets no more trade from these retailers until he mends his
ways. No manufacturer or wholesaler who does a legitimate line of
business can object to this variety of co-operation. In fact they ap-
prove of it and are glad to see that the retailers are alive to their own
interests. ;

While the retailer is keen to protect himself in this way against

those from whom he buys, there is a reverse side to the matter which

ought to receive a good deal of the retailers’ thought. We received,
a short time ago, a letter from a successful and progressive retailer in
Ontario, who stated that the manufacturers of hemlock ought to make
their grading more uniform. ‘What is the use of buying some thing
we cannot sell?” he asks. “Some wholesalers tell us we are getting
too particular, but we have to buy what our customers will buy and
not what the manufacturer wants to sell to us.”

The retailer is the man who should know best of all what lines
of stock he can sell to the consumer, and in most cases he is best in-
formed on this point. The problem, to our mind, however, is one of
mutual co-operation, with a view to the production and marketing of
those lines which the consumer requires and with a view also to en-
larging the consumer’s ability to use a greater variety of stock.

It is not the manufacturer’s fault that, in turning out certain lines
of stock which the consumer requires, he also has to turn out other
grades which the logs contain; and having turned them out he must
sell them, or he cannot stay in the manufacturing business. It is up
to the retailer, it seems to us, to make a special point of assisting the
manufacturer by continually seeking methods of disposing of a lar-
ger share of those lines that are not so saleable as others. Individual
cases bearing upon this point vary considerably in their merits. We
have no doubt that the retailer who wrote us about this matter is, to
a considerable extent, justified in criticizing the manufactuerrs for
trying to make him take stock he does not want, by varying the con-
tents of grades. We have a lot of sympathy, however, for the manu-

Bier manufacturers in Northern Ontario, and in many other
canada, are experiencing great difficulty in connection with
capable labor for their mills and are looking forward anxi-
the logging season which will start early in the fall. There

far below the normal average of late years in regard to

encies are, in many cases, utterly unfit for the work, and
case are scarcely half as efficient as the woodsmen of
ago: This particular mill manager cited a case, not an

and finally both parties might be persuaded to hold a joint meeting
of representatives to plan a way of improving the marketing of the
output of the hemlock mills. We would like very much to hear from
manufacturers and retailers regarding their views on this point.

he Labor Shortage Serious in Northern Ontario

great mistake to allow the recruiting to go on in such a haphazard
manner as has prevailed up to date. It has resulted in large numbers
of men, fine soldiers it is true, but fine laborers also, being taken away
from the northern districts of Ontario, while splendid men for mili-
tary service are being allowed to remain at home, largely because the
right kind and proper amount of pressure have not been brought to
bear upon them by the Dominion Government. If the Government
had taken charge of the recruiting business in the way that most peo-
ple in Canada think it should have, from the first days of the war,
there would have been far less interference with labor, and unques-
tionably there would have been a larger and more efficient force re-
cruited in Canada. Nothing would please the lumber manufacturing
interests in Canada better than to learn that the Government, even at

this late date, was taking hold of the recruiting problem and intended

to handle it upon businesslike lines.

There has been so great an interference with the supply of labor
for Northern Ontario, indeed, that we hear many lumbermen express-
ing a conviction that the Government would be justified, and in fact,
that it will be its duty, to work out a plan during the coming winter
for setting interned Germans, Austrians, Bulgarians, and Turks at
work in the logging camps. This matter was mooted to some extent
last winter, but nothing came of it. We do not put it forward as a
recommendation, but as a suggestion, as the necessity for men is cer-
tain to be great, and anything the Government can do to assist the
lumbering industry will be very welcome. zi

Selling Lumber in Department Stores

Leading department stores in thirty-eight cities of the United
States are now selling Douglas fir lumber. It is the first time that
lumber has been sold that way. The innovation is so popular in the
East that it has now become necessary to warehouse stocks in most
of the principal cities.

The Miniature Lumber Company, of Portland, is the promoter
of this new idea in the modern merchandising of lumber and the first
installation of a“‘department store lumber yard” was at the famous
Meier & Frank store of that city. The second installation was at the
Bon Marche, in Seattle.

Now the idea has spread to Spokane, Boston, New York, Chicago,

Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Washington, D.C., Cleveland, Buffalo, Syra- -

cuse, Hartford, Conn.; St. Louis, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Sioux City,
Cincinnati, Rochester, N.Y.; Troy, Newark, Brooklyn, Des Moines,
Providence, Worcester, Mass.; Baltimore, Dayton, Indianapolis, To-
ledo, Detroit, Reading, and Trenton.

The material furnished in the department store lumber yards is
suitable for any ordinary household repairs, but especially adapted to
manual training school purposes. Any person having a desire to build
a library table, for instance, will not only find the lumber for that
purpose quickly available, but also diagrams telling how to construct
the table and a material list of just what is required. The amateur
builder can make no mistakes.

The same thing applies in case the amateur builder decides to try

his handicraft on a cellarette, bird house, arm chair, sewing cabinet,,

tabouret, bedroom chest-seat, ironing board, baby crib, window box,

‘trellis for tamato vines, shaving stand, fern stand, foot rest, dressing

No.2 Hemlock—A Problem in Selling

Retailers Turn it Down—Manufacturers Push it—Co-opera-
tion Needed to Enlarge the Market

By Manufacturer

The complaint of a retail lumber dealer which was sent recently
to the Editor of the Canada Lumberman regarding the grading of
hemlock by manufacturers, brings up a very important question. It
is rather fortunate that the complaint has been made at the present
time as the matter is one of which it will be a good thing to have a dis-
cussion, so as to bring out ideas that will be of benefit to the trade.

During the past two and a half years the manufacturer of hem-
lock in Ontario has had much difficulty in disposing of his No. 2 hem-
lock. As a result no doubt, of this difficulty, some of them have of-
fered a merchantable grade and tried many ways of working off at
least a small percentage of their unsaleable stock. When a manu-
facturer tries to discuss the situation with retailers, most of the re-
tailers will not even give him a hearing on the No. 2 hemlock subject.
Yet if he makes enquiry of their trade he often finds quite a number
who will use No. 2 hemlock and be glad to obtain it at its proper value.
{ft has been noticeable recently that some of the manufacturers have
almost decided to sell to contractors or to anyone who can pay for
the material. [t seems to us that some manufacturers will follow this
plan in the near future if the retailers refuse to assist in placing on the
the market the product of the mills when it is put up in a proper
manner. This situation has been canvassed so thoroughly by manu-
facturers of late, that some improvement is being brought about and
we now find a number of the retail trade have discovered that it is
profitable to handle the No. 2 stock, some even working out ways in
which to make a good profit out of it.

Here are some of the points in favor of No. 2 hemlock. In the
first place hemlock itself is the second best wood for durability that
can be obtained in sufficient quantity to be considered as a factor on
the Canadian market. White and red pine are first on the list, then
comes hemlock, wobbling along, being cuffed from one side of the
road to the other, but never stopping, ungainly and rough in appear-
ance, but “there with-the goods” and there to stay. Its price is mod-
erate and its lasting qualities stand second among Canadian or United
States products, tamarac and cedar not being considered, as they can-
not be obtained in sufficient quantities. Its grip of the nail is very
firm, holding it in place and everything attached to it. The trade
cannot get away from recognizing the good qualities of this wood.

One inch No. 2 hemlock is the most economical wood for sheet-
ing, but a retailer should not sell a customer all the widths that are
made or there will be trouble in putting them on a roof. If a retailer
stocked just two widths of inch No. 2 hemlock, say 1 x 4 in., and
1 x 6in., charging $1 per thousand more for the 1 x 6 in., he ought to
be able to do a good business. These sizes are the easiest to obtain.
The retailer would have no trouble in buying them. 1 x 4 in. is really
the best size, as it goes farthest in sheeting a roof. With 1 x 4 in.
there is no waste. A space of half an inch or even more can be left
between each board. This is necessary in order to obtain the best
results from the shingles, as well as from the sheeting. Then 1 x 6 in.
could be sold to parties who are prejudiced against the narrow width
1 x 4in., and they could be charged $1 per thousand feet extra for sat-
isfying tlieir whim. Other yards could stoekMex Sin. and hese 8 im,
staying strictly by these sizes. The prices of the different widths
would regulate the consumption. In the 2 in. stock, 2 x 4 in., No. 2
quality, is nearly as useful as No. 1, because it has, in the case of
studding, sufficient strength for the job. Often it will not do for
rafters, but a percentage of the stock will answer for this purpose
also. For instance, wane that would not be allowed in No. 1 grade
on account of the appearance would indicate in No. 2 stock that the
piece came from the outside of the log and consequently was the
tuoghest timber, being stronger than the heart piece with square
edges. Then 2 x 6 in. and wider with slight defects can be used for
joisting and will often answer the purpose quite as well as No. 1.

Any grade poorer than those referred to could be sold at a price
that will find a market for it. Retailers may ask who can sell goods
of the above description. If they will put this question to the travel-
ler when he comes around they will be able to get much of the infor-
mation they require. Co-operation between the retailer and the manu-
facturer is the one thing that is required in this whole question. We
know that the retailer has his troubles and so have we all, but by
working more completely in harmony much good can be accomplished
and business will be more of a pleasure than it is at present.

An intimation of the way in which the advertising of a definite
standard grade of wood product produces results is afforded by the
fact that during the week preceding June 22nd, the West Coast Lum-
bermen’s Association received enquiries for
shingles from Russia, China, Japan, and the Society Islands. All en-
quiries contained the suggestion that markets could be developed
with a little practical promotion work on the va oe the peas manu-
facturers. - ;

Lumber to Benefit When Peace “i Declared 3

Captain Robert Dollar, of San Francisco, in a recent intervie
published by the West Coast Lumberman, said: “I think the lumbe
trade is one of the few industries that will immediately be bene fite
by the declaration of peace. My reason for thinking this is that th
excessive freight rates have caused all. foreign lumber dealers to
from hand to mouth, and I am safe in saying that every yard is s
of stock. .I know of several yards whose stock is less than 10
cent. of normal, in fact, some are completely sold out. Unfortunat
different kinds of wood are being substituted for Douglas fir ;
will require considerable effort to regain our lost trade when freig
get down to normal. At present they are about 400 per cent. z
normal. I think that in a very few months after peace is dec
freights will tumble down to normal or very near it. I know
many ship owners take a different view of it, and think that f
or three years we are to have abnormally high freights. If t
correct then my view of the situation would just be reversed, ;
declaration of peace would not help the lumber trade for many # mi
perhaps years. =

“Nevertheless, after much thought on the subject, I taal
my views, and cannot help but predict better times for an
that has suffered more than any other in the United States ; thei
no manufactures deserve a change for the ebtter mote than the
bermen.

“Many industries that have sprung up to manufacture m
of war will come to a sudden stop when the war ends and a
of men will be thrown out of employment. How this will
general business of the country remains to be seen, as it will t
siderable time to readjust themselves to the ordinary ‘rial
commercial commodities, and in the meantime their employes
a great extent be out of employment.”

Canadian Mills Favored |

The traffic manager of the Pacific Coast Shippers’ Ass t
has recently been investigating relative freight rates on lumber fr
Washington, Oregon and British Columbia mills to eastern | m1
and finds that the mills across the border are enjoying lower carry’
charges that are as much as fifteen cents per hundred ag u
instances, says the Mississippi Valley Lumberman.

The rate from Vancouver, B.C., to Montreal by way of the C
dian roads, is seventy cents on double loads of fir, while the B
ham mills just this side of the border pay eighty-five cents tot at
American shippers have found that by pa
freight across the border, they can save sat: by shipping
Canadian lines.

Another case of disadvantage is in the fee Dan mois
lowance.” The Canadian roads. give an allowance of five
pounds on every carload of lumber or shingles originating in Cai
and destined to eastern Canadian points and many stations in N
England. Even though a car travels only a few miles in Canada
then traverses almost the entire width of the United Sats
adian shipper gets this advantage which the Arenas mill
allowed. :

Still another handicap suffered by the Ames mills is th
minimum carload on Canadian lumber is from thirty to forty th
and pounds, while the American lines’ minimum is from t
sixty thousand pounds. Canadian shippers can ship over
lines to Windsor, Ontario, and trans-ship by ferry to Detroi
liver lumber at lower rates than are charged | Ante a
Detroit on American lines..

“Defective” Ammunition Traffic

In the House of Commons, May 13, 1916, Mr. D. D. McKenzie, M.P.,
. = Sam aptae with the following transaction :—

Q Vickers, rosin, Tegal. ata price of $20 per thousand rounds. ‘That the
antity: first intended to be sold was 5,000,000 rounds, and that over 3,000,000
unds was actually delivered.”
According to the Hansard report, Sir Robert Borden, on the same day,
ng the transaction, stated that:—
The only ammunition sold is Mark VI.,
ep eetined as absolutely unserviceable.”
has since developed in the evidence given before the commission of
i cy. presided over by Sir Charles Davidson, that this ‘‘absolutely unser-
vic able” ammunition was sold, through the agency of Mr. J. Wesley Alli-
to. the British Admiralty.
When the Auditor-General in the first instance drew the attention of Sir
omas White to the transaction by asking for an Order-in-Council after
y asking for one from the Department of Militia, he made the following
tement in the letter to the Minister of Finance :—
“I have reason to believe that the ammunition was resold at an advance
ut 25 per cent., and that its destination was not Vickers, Limited. |
“mistaken in this, but Colonel Allison’s connection with the transac-
s not tend to allay suspicion.”
- Sam Hughes, following the lead of Sir Robert Borden in defending
e tr, saction, according to the Hansard report, denounced and threatened
uditor-General in the following terms:—
when the Auditor-General undertakes to say what he has said in
ument which has been read; when he makes reflection upon a gentle-
o has more honor in his little finger than the Auditor-General has in
whole carcass, I want to tell him that I will find some means of reaching
he Auditor-General. .
the same Hansard report the Dominion Minister of Militia said:—
statement was made that it was not known where the ammunition
g. The correspondence brought down clearly shows that it was
by the firm of Vickers-Maxim, one of the most reputable firms in the
ind was shipped to them, and that the money was paid by them to the
f Montreal in England. The statement was made that the ammuni-
resold. That statement is absolutely untrue. The ammunition was
ickers-Maxim and the address given of one of their officers.”
ore the Davidson Commission on May 25, a few days after Sir Sam
' assertion in the House of Commons, Mr. F. Orr Lewis, president
adian Vickers, Limited, gave the following evidence :—
- I state that Canadian Vickers had no interest in the matter, and
firm of Vickers had no interest in it.”
rmore, with regard to the charge that the ammunition had been
an increase of 25 per cent., Sir Sam Hughes stated in the House of
(Hansard report, May 13, 1916) :—
“was no commission paid, offered, or asked for, by anyone in the

General Fraser produced a cable from the Colonial Secretary stating
price paid by the Admiralty for the ammunition was $25 per thousand,

of Commons. A heavy national and Imperial responsibility is plainly de-
veloping upon Sir Charles Davidson, as Commissioner inquiring into the sale
of Canadian Government ammunition, “absolutely unserviceable” and “defec-

tive,” to the British Admiralty—Ottawa Citizen (Independent Conservative).
Prairie Demand Still Active
Mr. W. R. Lanigan, chief of the C.P.R. freight department, with

headquarters at Winnipeg, visited Vancouver recentiy, and in the
course of an interview, said: “Things are running along in a way
which no one should object to in the least. Business is brightening
all of the time. On the prairies there is a tremendous demand for lum-
ber springing up and that lumber will have to come from British Co-
lumbia. ‘The farmers last year made a tremendous fortune from their
wheat, and the result is that they want to build better barns and
houses. Throughout the country there is a spirit of optimism pre-
vailing. There is really just as much prosperity here as there ever
was in the days:of the boom. That wasn’t real money that we used
to hear about then. It was only paper money. Lots changed hands
for sums of money which never existed at all. The real amount in-
vested in a lot was very small, while its actual price on paper kept on
climbing higher all the time. The real business of the commmunity
hasn’t been hurt any by the boom. Not a bit of it.”

Wood Waste Used for Pulp

The use of a steadily increasing amount of wood waste in the
nianufacture of pulp is indicated by figures compiled by the United
States Forest Service. Although the pulp industry showed a decline
in the last year for which complete figures are available (1914), on
account of the increasing cost of raw material and general business
conditions, more wood waste was used than in any previous year.

Approximately 330,000 cords of waste with a value of $1,400,000,
were utilized by 35 of the 200 pulp and paper mills of the United
States. It is thought that as the price of cord wood goes up, the
amount of wood waste used will become greater.

The Canadian pulp industry, the report says, had a vigorous
growth during the last few years and the greater portion of its pro-
duct is marketed in the United States. An average cost of about $6.50
per cord, as compared with the $10 to $16 per cord which many manu-
facturers in this country are paying for pulpwood, is the reason given
for the growth.

It is pointed out that the development of the supplies of spruce
in the national forest of the west and Alaska, together with the abun-
dance of cheap water power, will eventually attract the paper indus-
try to locate in these regions. Suitable pulp timber can be delivered

to desirable mill sites for the next twenty to forty years, it is said, at’

prices of about $2.50 to $4 per cord. It is thought that the low price
of material and power will more than offset the higher freight rates
on the product to the eastern markets.

James L. Grant, ‘who for many years was engaged in the lumber- |

ing business in Goderich, Ont., owning and operating a sawmill, and
for the last decade was deputy customs officer, died at his home on
July 9th, from an attack of grippe.

The Annual of the Canada Lumberman

It is always a pleasure to commend the enterprise of a con-
temporary and to note the progress which a fellow journalist or
a group of fellow journalists are making in the conduct of a pub-
lication. We are prompted to these remarks on turning over the
pages of the annual number of the Canada Lumberman and Wood
Worker, published by Hugh C, MacLean, Ltd., Toronto, Canada.
This is certainly a wonderful issue of this fine Canadian publica-
tion. Some idea of its bulk may be obtained from a statement of
the fact that it contains 172 pages, in which the reading matter
and the advertising are quite fairly divided. It is also due to say

that the contents of this number are well worthy of the country

which it so ably represents. The articles are as varied as they
are valuable, and their views of the lumbering and logging in-
dustry in Canada are presented by a master hand in each instance.

Where there is such an embarrassment of riches it is difficult
to single out features for special mention, and we will therefore
content ourselves with congratulating the editorial staff and the
publishers of the Canada Lumberman upon this splendid evi-
dence of progress and prosperity. We extend to them our best
wishes for a continuance of the same energy and intelligence
which they have at all times manifested in the conduct of this
publication and invoke for them a financial support which will be
fully commensurate with their just deserts—St,. Louis Lumber-

The Fibre Structure of Canadian Woods

A Study of Their Characteristics Under the Microscope, With Special
Reference to Paper Making
By H.N. Lee, A. M*

manufacture of paper, one of the principal things desirable

to know is the nature of the fiber from which the paper is

to be made. By means of careful examination with the
microscope it is possible to determine the identity of the plant from
which the fiber is obtained, to measure accurately the dimensions of
the fiber.and in the case of pulp to obtain considerable data concern-
ing the method of manufacture, together with the effect of the treat-
ment on the fiber itself. It is the purpose of this paper to give a brief
discussion of the following points: (1+) the microscopic structure of
wood, with a short description of other plants yielding fiber; (2) a
comparison of some of the fibers commonly used; (3) the dimensions
of some of the fibers commonly used; (3) the dimensions of fibers
in the tops, main trunk, branches and roots of trees; (4) identifica-
tion of fibers.

From the structural point of view vegetable fibers may be clas-
sified as follows :—

(a) Bast fibers from the inner bark of ordinary trees shrubs and
smaller plants ;

(b) Woody fibers from the stems, branches or roots;

(c) Fibers from the so-called veins of the leaves or from the
stems of the palms, sugar-cane, Indian corn and similar plants;

(d) Surface fibers connected with the seeds, stems or leaves, etc.,
for example, cotton.

Canadian products are largely those of the woody stem, though
flax or hemp, belonging to the bast group, may develop products of
Warmer or even tropical countries,, for example, cotton and the
hemps secured from the Agaves. It is our purpose to consider
briefly that class of fiber included under the heading of woody fibers
from the stem, that is, from the main trunk of trees.

Beginning with the structure of coniferous woods we may take
spruce as a typical example. Figure 1 shows the appearance of the
separated spruce fibers, or tracheids, as they are technically known.
Each tracheid consists of a hollow tube, actually about 3 mm. or
Yth of an inch long, with closed and more or less pointed ends. If
we consider a great number of these fibers placed parallel to each
other and tightly connected by means of a cementing substance, we
have the condition in which the fibers actually exist in the wood.
Taking then, a piece of spruce wood and cutting it at right angles
to the axis of the fibers we see (Fig. 2) the appearance of the trans-
verse section of the wood, showing the hollow spaces representing the
hollow tubes, or fibers. The figure shows one complete year’s growth
or annual ring, in which the larger, thinner-walled tracheids are those
which were formed during the early part of the season, while the
smaller, thicker-walled fibers are those formed during the latter part
of the growing season. The dark lines extending in a parallel man-
ner across the figure are the medullary rays, which are composed of
much shorter cells, placed with their axes running horizontally in
the growing tree. Several resin canals show scattered through the
section, appearing as little open’ spots surrounded by a rim of darker

‘ LTHOUGH many other factors must be considered in the

cells, these latter being the elements which zehially secrete the resit
Looking at a section cut longitudinally along the plane of the ran
we get a view as seen in figure 3. The fibers, of course, extend ler etl
wise, and since the slice of wood is very thin, the tracheids are most
seen only in longitudinal section. In some places the face walls
the fiber occur and then little circular marks known as the border
pits appear. These marks are very characteristic of coniferous
In this view the rays appear as collections of cells, perhaps som:
resembling a brick wall, running in the direction perpendicular to
tracheids. A resin canal also shows in the lower left hand part of th
figure, extending in the direction parallel to the fibers. The
walls and wide openings of the early formed tracheids show here, as
in the previous view, in contrast to the thick walls and narrow ope

ings in the summer fibers. In the longitudinal section cut tagentiall
that is, at right angles to the rays (Fig. 4) the fibers are seen”
tending lengthwise. The dark part of the figure is late wood, the
lighter part is early wood, the section having been cut slightly ob
liquely so as to include both. In this view we also see little bead-
like rows of cells which show the appearance of the rays when they
are cut at right angles to the horizontal direction in which they - run,
One can easily see that they do not occupy more than 10 per cent.
of the total volume of i wood, a

* Functions of Fibres ‘a

In function the fibers both transport sap up and down and mech-
anically support the tree as a whole, while the rays serve to conduct
the sap horizontally and to store up food substances. In structure
and function other coniferous woods are, in a general way, very sim-
ilar to the spruce, but all the woods of this class differ greatly from
those of the broad-leaved class.

The fibers of this latter class of wood on the same scale of magni-
fication as those of the spruce, are seen (Fig. 5) to be much shorter,
though in some cases broader than the spruce tracheids. The nar-
rower ones are true fibers, the broader ones being the vessels or pores.
In the wood (Fig. 6) the vessels and fibers are arranged in a manner
exactly comparable to that in spruce wood. In this figure we see
the vessels, the larger openings, scattered more or less evenly through-
out, while the fibers fill the space between, except where the rays ex—
tend in more or less wavy lines. The fibers, unlike those of the
spruce, do not conduct sap, but serve only to support the stem—the
function of transportation of sap being lodged entirely in the Bla
The rays perform the same function as in the spruce.

Figure 7, of balsam fir, illustrates how much the fiber from this
wood resembles that of spruce, as already seen in figure 1, and shou
we show illustrations of hemlock, the pines, Douglas fic: and other
coniferous fibers, they would all appear very much the same, i.e,
showing uniform, comparatively long and narrow elements. Figur
8, of birch, illustrates the more heterogeneous nature of the elements
from the wood of the broad-leaved trees, such as the poplar (Fig. 5),
chestnut, basswood, maple, etc. In all of these woods the fibers reach
not more than one-third the length of the elements of the coniferous

_ woods, and are, of course, still shorter in comparison with the fibers
of the cotton and linen types. Moreover, it is only in the fiber from
_ the hardwoods that the short, wide vessels or pores occur.

Variations in Size of Fibres

As well as the great difference in the dimensions of different
classes of fibers, as has already been shown, there is much variation
in the size of the fibers from the different parts of the plant. Con-

sidering only wood we find that the first formed wood, that is, the

growth of the first few years, shows very short fibers, as compared
with later growth. Thus, in Douglas fir the length of the tracheids
in the first annual ring averages not more than 1 mm. or 1/25th of an
inch, while in the rings up to fifty years. old the length gradually in-
creases to about 5 mm. or 1/5th of an inch, which length occurs

_ with slight variation in the rings over fifty years from the pith. Com-

_ parison of figure 1, from an annual ring thirty years from the pith,

and figure 7 from older wood, illustrates graphically the variation in

fiber length according to age. The tops of trees, therefore, have
shorter fibers than the older trunk below. The branches, also, as
_ compared with the main stem in the tree have short fibers, while the
roots -produce fibers, which are often longer than those of the trunk
of the same plant. The elements of the root, however, have much
thinner walls, and as a result do not produce as much pulp as the
same volume of stem wood. In some trees it is said that the tracheids
of the early growth of each annual ring are longer than those of the

-_ Jate growth of the same year. In our measurements in Douglas fir

_ we have found the reverse to be the case, i.e., the later formed tracheids
are slightly longer than the early formed ones.
” Groundwood and sulphite pulp are by all means the most valu-
_ able of paper-making materials produced in Canada. In Canada for
1914 the following figures are given for pulp production.

2 A little more than one-half of the pulpwood cut was manufac-
tured into pulp in Canada. The total cut was 2,196,884 cords. Of

the manufactured pulp 424,833 tons were exported at an average
- price of $20.87 per ton. The total pulp produced was 934,700 tons.

fs Methods of Treatment

Groundwood is manufactured by grinding coniferous woods on
natural or artificial stone. In this process the fibers are rubbed off
and finally appear, as figure 9 shows, in short ragged bundles, as
very fine meal, or as more or less single whole tracheids. The larger
the proportion of single, whole fibers, the better is the product. In
this process the chemical nature of the elements is practically un-
affected. In sulphite (Fig. 10) or other chemical pulp, on the
other hand, the wood is subjected to cooking under pressure with
certain solutions and as a result the fibers become separated, and fur-
_ thermore, have part of their substance dissolved out. The resulting
product consists of much more pure cellulose than is the case in
groundwood and the paper made from sulphite is much stronger and
more durable. As a result of the cooking process the fibers are
_ often much twisted and flattened, but their more or less pointed ends

and bordered pits in the case of coniferous woods make it easy to
distinguish them from other somewhat similar fibers.

For examination the paper is broken up into pulp by boiling with
a weak solution of caustic soda, is then thoroughly washed and the
fibers carefully separated out on a glass slide with needles. Before
treating with the re-agent it is desirable to remove as much water
from the fibers as is possible, and in estimating it is best to examine
several mounts to get an average. The reagent most easily used is
chlorzinciodide. The colorations produced by the more important
paper-making fibers are shown in figure 11.

It is sometimes desirable to distinguish positively between the
wood of spruce and that of balsam fir. A simple method is as fol-
lows: wet the piece of wood and cut a transverse section, not too
thin, with a sharp pocket knife. Hold this up to the light and ex-
amine, preferably with a magnifying glass, giving a few diameters
enlargement. If the wood is spruce, resin canals will show as little
darker spots. In figure 2 they are seen as somewhat circular open
spaces surrounded by darker rims—it is the darker rims that give
the shaded appearance seen in the slices cut with an ordinary knife,
as described above. In balsam fir there is no such appearance as
this, so the wood may be positively distinguished. After a little
practice one will have little difficulty in telling the difference between
these two woods, especially if the color, weight and grain are taken
into consideration.

How to Distinguish Wood Fibres

Single fibers from coniferous trees may be distinguished from
those of the broad-leaved trees by means of the marks made by the
openings through which the sap passes from tracheid to tracheid—
these marks being the bordered pits already referred to. Moreover,
the fibers of the conifers are, in general, much longer, and have more
blunt points and the vessels which are seen in the pulp from the
hardwoods never appear in the conifers. (Compare Figs. 5 and Age

Among the coniferous fibers themselves it is somewhat more
difficult to distinguish the fibers of different woods, though this is
possible in many cases. The variations in size, particularly in length,
afford a means of detecting some, but in the case of the more com-
monly used fibers the general shape is much the same. However,
where the tracheids come in contact with the ray cells certain open-

ings occur which vary to a greater or less extent in the various woods
and these openings, appearing as differently shaped marks in the
case of fibers from different kinds of wood, afford a means of separat-
ing such fibers as those from pine, spruce, balsam fir, Douglas fir,
etc. In an analagous manner the fibrous products of the various
broad-leaved trees may be distinguished from one another, but such
identifications can only be made after a careful examination by an
expert.

Co-operation With Distributors and Consumers
By M. B. Nelson*

There is no other manufactured commodity, I believe, produced
anywhere in the world to which as little thought and study is given
to the merits of its uses or promotion by the manufacturers and dis-
tributors as is given to lumber. What does the average lumberman
engaged in the manufacture or sale of lumber know about its merits?
The measure of success in any line of business or industry is the
knowledge applied by those interested. A comparison of what the
average lumberman actually knows about the merits of lumber with
the knowledge of those interested in most any other line of business,
and a comparison of the energy that is expended by the lumbermen
in promoting an increase in the consumption of lumber products, is
all that is necessary to consider to realize our deficiencies.

I consider the sales organization more to blame than any other

_ department of the business. ( The average young man who starts out
-to learn the lumber business spends a short period at the mills, in the
_retail yard or in a lumber office somewhere; familiarizes himself with

lumber terms and grades and the rates of freight so he can quote on

+ whatever item of stock is listed on the price sheet without making too
many mistakes, and, when this has been accomplished, feels that he
has graduated and all that is then needed to make him a full-fledged
lumber salesman is expense money, an order book, and a vocabulary
that enables him to make convincing argument out of information
picked up from the retailers about the low prices which are being
made by his competitors. Apparently no thought is ever given to
doing something that will increase the use of lumber in his territory.
The average sales office measures the worth of a salesman by the
number of orders he sends in.. Some few measure his worth by the
value of his orders as compared with the general run of business they
receive.

Have Turned to the Education of Their Salesmen

In the most successful industries which have, within a quarter
of a century, introduced and created a demand for their products, not
only in the United States, but throughout the entire world, they have
educated their salesmen as to the merits of what they have for sale,
and have spent a great deal of time and money becoming familiar
with the arguments in opposition to the use of their products and se-
curing arguments to combat or overcome such opposition. This has
been most effectually accomplished through systematic organization
where the manufacture has been by one interest or where but a small
number have been interested.

I think the reason the lumbermen have neglected this very im-
portant feature is the large number interested in the manufacture
and distribution of the product, and, further, the fact that the hene-
its resulting from any energy expended in creating a new demand or
combating the inroads of substitutes accrue to the industry as a whole
and in but a slight degree to the individual. It is but human to ex-
pend energy only where the greatest individual results can be ac-
complished. Lack of the proper organization all the way down the

jine is another and probably the greatest cause of our neglect.

First, let us educate ourselves as to the true merits of our pro-
duct in its different uses, and as to the uses wherein it is equal to or
superior to any other known material, by informing ourselves in so
far as possible through the limited store of literature; let us find out

- how long sapwood will last when exposed to the element that causes
decay ; what known treatments will prevent decay, and what the cost
of the same is; how long heart wood will last when exposed to the
elements; let us investigate at every opportunity the practices of and
methods pursued by the retailers, distributors and consumers of our

. product in every section, and if their policies are along lines which
will not promote the general interest of the lumber business take the
matter up with the retailers, buyers or distributors and make sure
they understand that they are doing our industry an injustice.

Disseminating Information to the Retailer and Others

After we have gained a better knowledge ourselves of lumber
with respect to its real merits and uses, let us take advantage of every
opportunity to disseminate information to the retail distributor, en-
gineer, architect and consumer by constant, systematic effort until
we have educated everybody who has anything to do with the hand-
ling of wood to a point where they will be able to defend its merits
and prevent the unscrupulous substitutes from entering our ranks
and defrauding the public to the detriment of our business. I do not
mean by this that we shall not give due consideration to the merit

of any substitute, or that we should recommend the use of lumbe
where we know it Is not equal to something else, because, [ fig
such practice would result to our detriment. Our programme must
be based upon merit, otherwise our efforts will eventually fail.
_ Up to this time only a limited supply of educational information
is available with regard to the merits of our product, and it is there
fore very important that effort be made by all of us to secure fur
ther necessary information as rapidly as possible. -
_ Let the salesmen in the different sections of the country orga:
ize in small groups and meet as often as convenient, and devise meat
whereby the retailer, architect, engineer and large consumers of lun
ber can be properly informed. This can be accomplished by the

man devoting his spare time with his customer in discussing the st
ject, in suggesting to the retailer the many uses which could be mz
of a particular line of lumber in his territory if the proper effort w
put forth by him, and that his business would grow asa result. |
only that, but go out with him to the prospective consumer and

that the proper arguments are presented. If he encounters any qi

tions or problems which he cannot answer satisfactorily, let him
port the facts to his general office.

Organize with Architect, Engineers and Builders

In the cities and large towns where the consumption of u
1s governed largely by the architect, engineer or builder, I wou p-
gest that the salesmen organize with the retail dealers and call
general meeting of all architects, large contractors, engin
builders in that particular section; invite them to dinner son
urday evening, and arrange for a speaker to address them. A:
sure the speaker is requested to give strong emphasis to those poi
which are considered most important to be driven home. Get
quainted with the master mechanic or master car builder in char
any car shops in your territory, investigate, and make sure that the
know all you do about lumber in so far as it affects their line of w
Keep in touch with every kind of construction contemplated in y
territory; go to the architect, engineer, or builder with your cus
mer and try to get as much lumber used in the construction w
throughout the building as the merits of the wood will justify. Yo
will find that if the architects and engineers are properly approach
they will be more than willing to give consideration to most a
thing you have to present. It goes without saying, however, that a
technical men of this nature are very difficult of approach and
more or less prejudiced in their views, and unless the proper dip
macy is used your efforts will not meet with success. ee
Every salesman should be familiar with the building code
every city in his territory, and if there is anything in the code thz
detrimental to the interest of lumbermen, the salesmen located

in many territories to substitutes because these promoters are
ganized and working along more intelligent lines, not only takin
advantage of but creating the opportunities. The consumption o
our lumber is decreasing through the development of the substitutes,
many of which have not the merit claimed. Keep close watch on

Avoid Waste of Time :

How much of the average salesman’s time is wasted? I me:

by this, how much of his time is expended in a direction which |
not result in profit to him, his company, his trade, or to the lt
industry in general? Think how much of this would be conver
into an asset if he should take advantage of all the opportunit
which present themselves—no day would be long enough. Let
endeavor to utilize our time and energy in creating somethi
the selling of lumber we have travelled along the same old
great-grandfathers blazed for us, with the result that our li
to-date competitors have introduced substitutes. They had
something to introduce their product, they had to create a «
for it, and it has made them more resourceful in this directic
they are crowding us off the map, so to speak. They all know
their product is good for and what it will do under all condit
we don’t. Some one of the substitutes knocks lumber, sayin
not fit for anything, and we cannot refute the statement because y
have never made a study of the merits of our product—we let it ¢
and they take our buisness away from us. ae

We have left our selling interests almost entirely to the re
merchant. The average retailer is not interested in timber any 1 n
than in anything else. He is interested, however, in selling any
duct which will net him the greatest profit. Many of the lumber
are selling substitutes to take the place of lumber when lumber w
answer the purpose to better advantage. We cannot blame the re
tailer—he is working for himself; if he can- get more profi out o
the substitute he is going to do it. The representatives of th

jumber is sold to the best advantage, even though it becomes neces-
sary for us to assist the retailer in selling our lumber at our own ex-
pense; we cannot expect them to work for us unless we make it an
object for them to do so. The lack of co-operation among competi-
‘tive salesmen, and as between the salesmen and the retailers, in an
ffort to promote the general interest of the lumber business is hurt-
ng us badly. I believe in co-operation in all things. I compare in my
‘own mind, the struggle of the lumber industry up the hill of success
to a loaded wagon being drawn by a string of mules. If we all pull
ether it will be much easier to reach the summit than if a few pull
a time while the others lay back. Systematic organization is just
‘essential to the success of our business as to success in battle or

‘conducting the peaceful affairs of nations.

=P How the Public Got the Wrong Idea About Associations

_ Co-operation produces power. This power can be used to build
or to destroy individually or collectively. Some associations mis-
d the power they created, and, as a result, the public, not being
iar with the workings of all the associations, came to the con-
on that many or, all of them were detrimental to the general pubic
est. But within the last year or two sentiment has been fast
nging. The public is finding out that not all associations in indus-
tries are used to its detriment, but that when conducted sanely they
are of great benefit not only to the individual interested in the indus-
but to the people as a whole. We are not created equal in ability
ny direction. There are people in all lines of business who are not
capable of conducting their own business successfully. They are
constantly destroying what someone else produced, and, hence, their
operations are detrimental to the general interest, and business fail-
res are the final outcome. A business failure has the same effect as
ie death of an individual in a community. If the individual was a
enefit to the world, then the world sustains a loss by reason of his
th. Failure in business is not a benefit to the people as a whole
use those interested in the industry are not the only ones who
r as a result—the general public comes in for its share. Civiliza-
is built on co-operation.
Through our trade organizations it is possible to gather in and
disseminate knowledge and information regarding our business which
could not be secured and distributed otherwise, and put into effect
hany economical methods, thus benefiting the people as a whole.

_ Through Associations Business Failures Can be Reduced
While through co-operation we cannot make all people equal, we
an make them stronger, and prevent many business failures. Think
-an ideal country we would have if there were no business fail-
es. Through association work we can reduce business failures to
minimum. In some industries, I understand that their associations
so far as to advance money to their members to assist them in tid-
‘ over critical periods. The Federal Trades Commission have
trongly urged that individual concerns interested in the same indus-
co-operate toward their own up-building. If we work intelligent-
r the benefit of the people we will profit by it, but if we work to
detriment eventually we will suffer for it.
salesmen have a greater opportunity to advance this move-
an anyone else because they are constantly calling on the
the buyer and consumer. All of us are failing to a greater or
xtent to make use of the knowledge we possess, many of us
use we are not directly interested at the time. We overlook many

From the Canada Lumberman of

Thirty-five Years Ago

Lumber Trade Booming :—Messrs. McAllister & McLean have
sold their Pettawawa limits to James McLean & Co. The figure re-
ceived, we believe, was ‘something over $130,000, a very handsome
and no doubt satisfactory one to the sellers, who purchased the same
limits something over a year ago for only $40,000. This sale demon-
strates better than anything we have yet heard how the lumber trade
is “booming.”—Pembroke Observer.

A New and Valuable Invention:—Mr. Finlay Ross, of Byng In-
let, has invented and patented a gang of circular saws, which will
probably supersede the ordinary stock gangs of upright saws. Mr.
Ross can, by a simple contrivance, arrange on one mandril any re-
quired number of saws, which may be taken off at pleasure, as easily
as the ordinary gang, by shifting a key and coupling, placed near a”
pulley at each end of the mandril. The inventor claims that his gang
of circulars will cut a much larger quantity of lumber than the usual
gang, and that the face will be smoother. Another advantage claimed
by Mr. Ross is, that as the saws are arranged so as to run with the
grain of the timber they will cut easier and make smoother work
than the ordinary circular saw revolving against the grain of a log.
The logs are fed with press rollers in the ordinary way. There seems
to be a mine of wealth in this simple invention, when fairly intro-

duced.

Muskoka Improvement Company:—A company has recently
been organized amongst the lumbermen of Muskoka and Georgian
Bay, for the purpose of regulating the driving and sorting of saw logs,
constructing slides, booms, piers, dams, etc., on the Muskoka rivers,
the Severn, Musquash, etc. At a meeting which was held at Gra-
venhurst, the company was formed, and $50,000 capital subscribed.
Messrs. H. H. Cook, Richard Power, A. P. Cockburn, M.P.; G. W.
Taylor, and Hon. Alexander Mackenzie were elected directors. The
directors at a subsequent meeting, after electing Hon. Alex. Mac-
kenzie president, prepared estimates of the proposed works and made
arrangements for immediately commencing work upon the most
urgent of these. A similar company, namely “The Upper Ottawa Im-
provement Co.,’ has been in existence for some years, with a capital
of $150,000. The directors are Messrs. Bronson, Perley, Eddy, Gor-
don and H. Hobinson; H. Robinson, president; J. R. Booth, secre-
tary; G. B. Green, acting secretary. The operations of this company
extend from the Des Joachim to the foot of Hull Slide. The organi-
zation has been found of great service to all parties engaging in lum-
bering on the Ottawa. The Muskoka Company will doubtless prove
equally serviceable.

Lacing Belts on the Pulleys

The modern way to adjust a belt is to do it “right on the pulleys.”
It’s the quickest way, the safest way, the most economical way; that’s
why it is the modern way.

About twenty years ago it was thought that belts and pulleys
had reached their maximum of efficiency. We thought that there was
no more to know—leather was “king” of belt materials, rawhide lac-
ing was IT, almost “any old pulley” would do the trick, better bear-
ings were undreamed of, unheard of, and so forth.

To-day there are many belt men who will therefore look upon the
“modern” method of adjusting belts with contempt. They will say,
“Tt’s a useless extravagance,” without looking into the matter thor-
oughly. For, just as we did twenty years ago, belt men to-day are
prone to think that we have reached the maximum of efficiency and
that there is “nothing new under the sun.”

Well, lacing a belt while on the pulley is a new stunt, and it’s a

good one. It has every argument in its favor.

To do this lacing properly requires a machine—a couple of clamps,
one on each belt end—and a rack arrangement for cranking the two
ends together right where you want them. The machine holds the
two ends in correct position for lacing and leaves your hands free to
do the work most efficiently.

Even where the belt is to run fairly slack, or easy, it is plain
that a device like this will prove beneficial. It takes the belt’s mea-

sure, helps do the work, and leaves the belt right where you want it—

all at once.—N. G. Near.

Recent reports from Vancouver state that all the loggers on the
Pacific Coast, north of the Columbia River, may close down for a
period of 30 days beginning some time next week. The reason given
is that the log market is rapidly becoming flooded with a surplus,
owing to the rush that took place when the business outlook appeared

good. Another cause is the scarcity of labor and the high wages that

prevail. ?

Grading B.C. Lumber for Export

In view of the probability of a strong demand arising for British-

Columbia forest products in overseas markets following the close of
the war, the Hon. W. R. Ross, Minister of Lands, and officials of the
Forest Branch, have been devoting a lot of attention to various fac-
tors likely to have some influence in determining the volume of busi-
ness to be done. It is known that the matter of grading has been given
considerable attention, and according to the opinion of men in our
midst who are familiar with the British timber industry, and who
understand thoroughly the methods followed in that important mar-
ket, it is essential that our export lumbermen should grasp the fact
that while it probably will not prove difficult to secure an initial
order, the desirable thing is to hold the trade by giving the customer

_ absolutely satisfactory grades, keeping in mind that the market he

is endeavoring to serve is open to the world and takes only the best
of everything. :

The advisability of the B. C. Government establishing its own
Inspection Bureau, appointing its own graders, and giving to our
lumber the full prestige of the province which produces it, are also
matters which have engaged the attention of Hon. W. R. Ross and
colleagues. It scarcely is in keeping with the dignity and growing
importance of an industry in which the government is a partner to
continue indefinitely to do business under the aegis of a foreign cor-
poration, no matter how satisfactory the relationship has been up to
the present. Under B. C. inspection and marking there would be
little danger of our forest products losing their identity, as has occurred
in the past, and every shipment would help put our province on the
map of the lumber markets of the world.

Some time ago the editor of the Canada Lumberman asked a
well-known manufacturer and exporter for an expression of his views
on the subject of grading for the English market, inspection, etc. His
letter appears below:

“To explain the grading situation in British Columbia would en-
tail a long discussion and be subject to many conditions which could
only be decided by a committee of regular graders. The essential
requirement in grading lumber is knowing the purpose for which the
lumber is required.

“We understand you would like our opinion as how best to com-
pete with Washington export mills in grading, etc. In the first place,
it is necessary to consider the fir timber stands in British Columbia
as compared with Washington. Generally speaking the land on which
the timber grows in British Columbia is more broken and rocky than
in Washington, therefore our percentage of clear lumber is lower,
but our percentage of merchantable (barring black knotted timber)
is about the same, and our percentage of common, where the land
is logged clean, is higher. In other words, the Washington mills
have better clears as a rule and more of them, while in British Colum-

_ bia we have better grades of merchantable export timbers suitable

for construction purposes, as it does not pay us to go after the clears
so hard on sawing rougher logs. This is preliminary to our remarks
on grading.

“In the English market, as before stated, lumber is re-graded
for everything there is in it, and purchased with this object in view.
If an English buyer can buy clears on a specification of 3 in. and up
by 7 in. and up, with average length of say 26 feet, and knows that
he will get a uniform parcel of soft fir, he will pay more than if it is
all red or hard fir, as it will be used for totally different purposes.
And again, if it is just a mixed bunch of clears he gets that is strictly
within the grade of clears on one face and two edges, according to
the specific Inspection Bureau grade, he will be forced to pay the
bill, but will confine his future purchases to mills which supply the
lumber on which he can make the most money.

“A great deal of the lumber sold here under such specifications
would be suitable in smaller sizes, as it is nearly all used for re-
manufacture, some of it even turned into spindles for the cotton
trade. Thus the English lumber importer gets the alvantage of us on
re-grade.

In Washington the percentage of soft fir, or fir of medium hard-
ness, is high compared with British Columbia, and we should grade
out lumber with the express object of competing with a trade they
have established. Nearly all of our exported lumber is re-manufac-
tured and we should get the advantage of a reliable grade instead
of taking pot luck in mixing red fir, hard, coarse grained stock grown
on rough ground or exposed position, and good clears which are uni-
Each
should be marketed separately.

“The. Pacific Inspection Bureau does not take the trouble to grade

_this way, but the individual mill or exporter on the other side is

alive to the problem of putting uniform stock into export cargoes or
parcels, and cuts a camp run of logs of the same stand of timber,
insuring uniformity, while in British Columbia most of the mills buy
their logs in booms from different camps. The mills on the Sound
are using the public lumber dock in Seattle to advantage, but most
of the mills there are not as dependent on it, as they have, as a rule;
large piling ground and wharfage of their own. In British Columbia

= ‘

CANADA LUMBERMAN

AND WOODWORKER

most of the lumber companies’ piling ground or wharfage is very lim
ited, owing to the policy of the railway companies, when opening
the country, in getting control of the waterfront by laying their trac
on the foreshore or close to it. The mills have generally fair frontage
but no depth. This lends itself to loading scows cheaply and would
work to the advantage of a storage dock. ca]

“The certificates of the Pacific Inspection Bureau are used chie
for financial purposes, so that advances can be given against con
ments by banks and lumber brokers, and provided the lumber wil
stand up to the strict letter of the grade as regards commons, n
chantable and clears, the rest is up to the reputation of the sh
mill. British Columbia mills, as a rule, are not equipped for e
business, and unless some encouragement is offered them, s
assembling what stock they have suitable for export, they will ec
tinue to market their stock in the manner in which they can get r
money the quickest. It costs, it is estimated, about 17 per cent.
annum to carry lumber in Vancouver after it is cut, so that the 1
is forced to sell quickly or the profit is gone. This shows how imp
ant a storage dock is, where uniform shipments can be asset

“Salesmanship is also essential, and as in many cases sho
12 to 20 feet would be just as suitable for the market as lumb
on specifications of an average length of 30 feet. One thing th
tended to make export frieght rates high is the long average le
in the specifications, which takes up space and makes stowing
and expensive. The want of shorts and short stowage has prejudi
ship owners and captains against lumber. ; a

“In conclusion, we think the present Pacific Inspection B
answers its purpose and is established, but the British Colu
Government might lend a hand in supervising or franking shipme
from a storage dock or mills having their own wharf, in seeir
shipments are as invoiced or described and suitable for the mark
which they are sent.”

Requisites of the Successful Lumber Salesmen of y
By Alfred Klass, Oconto, Wis. i ie

The secret of nearly every business success is a perfect organiza-
tion. > oe
A salesman may have good ideas, understand the product he s
selling, and have the force to get the business, but make a failure
because of a poor organization back of him. E Ve
A concern of any magnitude needs more than the general
command to keep it on the road to success. A perfect organizati
mieans a place for every one and every one in his place, and the
general manager who knows how to pick his lieutenants is the one
who has a successful business. ‘ . 7
The sales manager and the traveling salesmen are lieutenants
aud the better they are the more successful that branch of the busi-
ness will be. : ;
It has been said that a good salesman is one who can sell a man
something he does not want and yet satisfy the customer. This may
he true; but the salesman who does it is one who knows his prodt
well and for that reason is able to prove to his customer that he r
wants what he is not asking for. In this connection I might cite
experience I had when I was handling the retail end of the busine
A customer called and asked me for a certain amount of 2 x 6-16.
so happened that we were short of this item and I mentioned it
the customer, whereupon he said, “Well, I can use 12-foot just
well, because I am going to cut them to 4-foot lengths and use t
in a sidewalk around the house.” Now it was easy in that case
sell the man something he did not ask for and yet give him exac
what he wanted. There are any number of people in the consuming
world today who are constantly using material that costs them more
than they should pay if they only knew that there were cheaper item:
in lumber that would answer their purpose just as well and at t
same time move something for the manufacturer that he is anxi

to sell. sOREN

But here again we have brought to mind the successful sale:
man, the one who has a thorough knowledge of the product he
selling, has a knowledge of his customer’s needs and ability to n

suggestions that will be adopted.

ut they are pleased to buy, not because it is No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3,
t because it suits their peculiar needs; and here again is evidenced
eed of a thorough knowledge of the product he sells if the sales-
ian wants to meet with the fullest success.
I will not venture a guess as to what percentage of the lumber
esmen on the road today have a practical knowledge of how lum-
yer is manufactured. I believe, however, that there are a great many

ho have never had much education along that line, and I know both
and their employers would profit if they took some time off and
ted the big, red sawmill. I believe it is a fact that the average
ssman today has a very meager knowledge of the different grades,
fact causes both him and his employer considerable trouble at
because he is sure to go wrong some time or other in his eager-
to get an order. He will make promises for a grade that cannot
out, just because the promises line up with what the customer
wat ‘s and the price is attractive; but the day of reckoning comes
e customer gets the stock and finds that No. 3 is not sound
or No. 4 has a percentage of soft rot.

arly part of last year I had a letter from a member of a large
lumber company at Pittsburgh and he told me he had a
r whom he was planning to send out on the road.to sell lumber.
that the brother had had some experience in a retail yard,
wanted him to get some knowledge of manufacturing and
before he assumed the duties of a lumber salesman and wanted
<e him on at the mill, where he could get some knowledge
icturing and grading. He spent about six months with us
bor around the mill and yards, with different inspectors, and
y he left there with a better knowledge of manufacture and

ian most of our traveling lumber salesmen have.

Pt
i.

The Ideal Organization

. my mind the perfect organization is the one that is made up
_who have been trained at the mill and spent not only six
but a year, or two years, if necessary, getting the practical
e needed before taking up the selling end of the business.

ber is not such a simple proposition that any one who is
yod-natured and can approach the buyer with a smile and
ull of cigars is able to sell it successfully. It is true, of
; that to sell lumber one must be qualified as a salesman, know
: of human nature and have a good appearance; but the
s sessful salesman must first be a lumberman in order to handle
oduct intelligently.

have all heard at one time or another this or that salesman
succeeded in “putting one over,” and as we believe that
nowledge is the fundamental basis of successful salesman-
also see that such an education will preclude as imprac-
substitution in sale of illogical items.

t one over” is merely to destroy a future prospect, and the

AND WOODWORKER i

Enthusiasm in the work is indispensable. The salesman who is
not wrapped up in his work cannot possibly get in the same class
with the really successful salesman. This is just as true in the busi-
ness of selling lumber as in any other business. The man who attempts
to work in any position without a real liking for the job will not meet
with the greatest success. So it is absolutely necessary for the man
who wants to win to put his whole ambition and energy into the job
at hand and do it better, if possible, than any one else and at least
better than he would do it if he were working at it in an indifferent
manner. This is true of any job, from piling slabs up the line to gen-
eral manager ; and that kind of enthusiasm spells efficiency. The sales-
man who has it is sure to dispose of his product to much better ad-
vantage than the one without it, and the sales manager who has it is
sure to get his product manufactured in better shape, keep his stock oe
in better assortment and close better deals than the one who is with- :
out it. It is also essential that the salesman who wishes to be suc- .
cessful should be of good report, cultivate personality, be courteous,
patient and accommodating to a degree.

There always comes a time when the manufacturer finds it neces-
sary to call in his salesmen for one reason or another, and just as a
sawmill man would be foolish to let a good sawyer, filer or yard fore-
man go just because the mill is to be closed down for a short time,
so would he make a mistake to turn loose salesmen who know the
trade and who know lumber. It is not always possible to pick up:

equally good ones when business revives. Salesmen who are lumber-
men are hard to get.

Logging in India -The Elephant’s Work

In a report upon the logging industry in Burma, sent by Mr. H.
R, MacMillan, and published in the Weekly Bulletin of the Depart-
cent of rade and Commerce, a description of the teak logging indus-

aN aot Nn

or 180,000,000 board feet per year, worth about $12,000,000 in the log
in Rangoon in normal times. Teak grows scattered in the forest, and
the logs averaging one ton in weight, reaching a maximum of three
tons, must be dragged on the average three miles to streams. The
dragging has up to the present been done by elephants. The supply
of elephants is already giving rise to difficulties, the price having
risen in a decade from $1,300 to $2,600 each. The elephants require
great care and attention; cannot be worked in the heat ofthe day, can
only be worked eight months in the year and where they are con-
gregated in any numbers are subject to anthrax and other diseases.
The average year’s work for an elephant is the skidding of 120 logs
a distance of two miles. The working life of an elephant in logging
is ten to fifteen years. The large companies operating in teak and
the Government of Burma, which works departmentally, large areas
of teak forest, netting a profit of $40 per thousand feet board measure
of timber cut, are desirous of introducing machinery to supplement or
replace the elephant.”

Douglas Fir Ties Popular in England

Douglas fir railroad ties, as a result of recent tests by leading
railways of England, have now become so popular in the United
Kingdom that the British Admiralty is diverting steamers of large
capacity to North Pacific waters in order to secure a supply of fir
for British railroad purposes.

The British steamer Photinia recently cleared from the Colum-
bia river with 4,019,965 feet of ties for Queenston for orders, and now
the British steamer Breconia, after loading about 1,800,000 feet of
ties in British Columbia, is on the Columbia river completing a cargo
which is expected to equal that of the Photinia.

Prior to the European war North Pacific lumber cargoes of
4,000,000 feet and over were not uncommon, but since the war the
only large capacity steamers that have been dispatched there for __
lumber, aside from one Japanese vessel, have been Admiralty vessels
sent specially to transport Douglas fir ties. The first of these Admir-

alty vessels was the St. Veronica, which cleared from the Columbia —
river in March with 3,800,000 feet.

Proper Attention Increases Usefulness of Belts

If manufacturers and dealers in belting could be assured that the
belting would receive proper attention and care while in the hands
of the buyer they could often sell at a much lower figure.

I know of a manufacturer, for instance, who generally uses a
“factor of safety of two” in selling his belting, because he fears the -
belting will be expected to “take care of itself.”

The rule this manufacturer of rubber belting uses is: “Each inch

in width, running 1000 feet per min., will transmit one horse power.” “¢
With proper care this man states that the figure of 500 could be a
used just as well, just as safely, just as durably, but he won't risk it. wi

The New “Bethlehem” Shell Box

The Imperial Munitions Board have issued plans and specifica-

_ tions of a box to be made for the new 18-pounder “Bethlehem” shell.
The outside over all dimensions of the box are 27% ins. x 103% ins.

x 103% ins. It will hold four complete rounds, including fuses and
fuse covers. The kinds of wood to be used are spruce, pine or
basswood for the top, bottom, sides and ends, and birch, beech and
maple for the top and bottom battens and diaphragms. All metal

_ fittings are to be of mild steel galvanized.

-The construction of the box is somewhat different from the
other boxes that manufacturers are acquainted with. It has a re-

through the centre of the box from end to end, fastened with a wing
nut. Two small galvanized steel plates are screwed to the bottom
and top of the box to keep the head of the bolt and wing nut from
cutting into the wood.

Fig. 3 shows a side elevation and end elevation of the box and
on the side elevation can be seen the central spindle, wing nut and
et small steel plates in dotted lines. It will be noticed that the wing
uP nut and head of the bolt do not project past the ends of the box.
This is to allow of the boxes being piled on top of each other. The
battens that go on the ends are mitred and project 7% of an inch over
the end pieces, thus forming a rebate for the end to fit into the box.

The three diaphragms or divisions that go inside the box are
made of 3-ply hardwood glued up. The centre ply is % of an inch
thick and the two outside plys are 5/16 inches, making a total thick-
ness of % of an inch. The specifications state that these thicknesses
are nominal, which we take to mean that the total thickness of the
diaphragms may vary slightly from the measurements given. The
diaphragms are for the purpose of holding the shells in place. Each

Proper Methods for Laying Oak Flooring
By W. L. Claffey

J-DAY by improved machinery, equipment and
quantity manufacture, the cost of making floor-
ing has been so reduced that beautiful oak floors
are now within reach of everyone. [

Oak flooring is generally laid by a profession
commonly known as floor layers, who specialize
in the laying of hardwood floors. These floor layers
may be divided into two classes—good workmen

and a class that are careless. The expert floor layer obtains his repu- |

tation by the high class and perfect work that he turns out. It is
practically his only asset in the game. Many large and prosperous
floor laying concerns have reached their prosperous condition chiefly
through conscientious workmanship in their earlier days. The floor
layer who is careless in his work will never succeed.

It is not necessary to be an expert to produce a good floor laying
job, but it is very essential that considerable care should be exercised
and all the details from the very start to the finish should be care-
fully studied before the floor laying work is taken in hand.

Before starting to lay oak flooring, the stock should be examined
to ascertain if it has absorbed any moisture while at the Jumber yard,
on the wagon, or at the job, as usually during rainy weather, oak
flooring will absorb considerable moisture, mostly at the ends—there-
by causing it to swell as much as one-sixteenth of an inch. If this
condition is not discovered before the floor is laid, unsightly crevices
will appear in the floor. The sub-floor, as well as the plaster work,
should be thoroughly dry before starting to lay oak floors. If in win-
ter, the rooms should have a temperature of about 70 degrees to in-
sure the best results, and the oak flooring bundles should be in the
rooms at least ten days to thoroughly dry out, in case the stock has
been subjected to any moisture, before the main work is started.

Oak flooring leaves the mill in perfect physical condition. but is
very often abused by improper handling before it reaches the job.

‘There are many lumber yards and contractors that almost treat oak

flooring like rough lumber. ‘This is a mistake.

-. The sub-floor should be thoroughly swept and it is well to use a
damp proof paper and where sound-proof results are desired, a heavy
deadening felt is recommended.

The sub-floor should be of serviceable wood, but not less than
7% in. thick, dressed one side to an even thickness. Sub-floors should
be nailed securely to the joists, but not driven too tight together so
as to permit it to swell, then bulging; four-inch to six-inch strips are
preferred widths for sub-floors.

When strating with the first oak flooring strip, it is well to leave
at least 3g in. for expansion space between the first strip and the base-
board, and likewise at the other end of the room, as there is more or
Jess expansion and contraction in all kiln-dried oak flooring.

Oak flooring should always be laid at an angle to the sub-floor

and after laying and nailing three or four

[SKETCH (2)] pieces, use a short piece of hardwood,

2 in. x 4 in., placed against the tongue
and drive it up with a heavy hammer.

The nailing of oak flooring is very im-
portant. All tongued and grooved oak
flooring should be blind nailed. The
best flooring made can be spoiled by the
use of improper nails. The steel cut va-
riety is recommended for 13/16 in. stock
—use 8-penny nails every sixteen inches;
for 3g-inch flooring, use 3-penny wire fin:
ishing nails every ten inches. If even
better results are desired, the nails can
be driven closer.

The floor layer should use discretion
in regard to certain strips that do not
blend in color with the majority of strips.

New Methods Bring New Problems to Retailers

The business of a retail lumberman is associated largely
knots. The values of the different grades of his stock are detern
by the quantity and quality of them. They enter into his relat on
buyer and seller and there is scarcely a day passes but that this fez
of lumber is given his thought and attention, either in ordering
stock or selling it to the consumer. His lumber is graded with ref
ence to knots, but his customers don’t always accept them w
same willingness and understanding as he does, and hence s
his difficulties in selling the stock as it has been graded out t
But there are other features of his business also that are as knott
his lumber and vary in relative character as they do. — Some of thes
knotty questions he has to deal with are chronically troublesome. 1
bother him a good deal until he has learned to mitigate their \ ol
features. - . aes

Probably the most knotty problem the average dealer has to ¢
tend with is his local competition, which in the whole business
ally may be said to be harder to deal with than any other outsid
petition. I have talked with a good many dealers on this subj ct
with few exceptions they all have testified to being troubled with
local competition more than anything else. This is somet
course, that they won’t admit to everybody and they would not
have it known to their competitors. Some dealers have told me
relations with the other yard were pleasant and agreeable both soc
ly and ina business way. Others have said there was a working
between them that they had to be careful about doing anything
would break it up. So in practically every case where there are t
more yards in a town the relation between competitors 1s always
underlying consideration with each of them, and unconsciously th
thoughts and actions are more or less influenced by it. ae

It would be interesting to know how much we are influenced b
our competitors. None of us, I believe, has figured that out, bu
would be a good thing for us if we would analyze ourselves in this
respect. Some dealers pride themselves in feeling and acting ind:
pendently. Nevertheless an x-ray of their mental consciousne:
would reveal a good deal to the contrary regarding their competi

towards us, we cannot escape the subconscious interest which ex

is this feeling, I believe, that is responsible for much of the la ck

Where two dealers are working in harmony one of them
of a more progressive nature and would like to put into practic
of the more modern ideas of creating more business. But his
petitor is averse to doing anything different from what they
been doing, and argues, “Why not let well enough alone?” —
thought, of course, is that if the other man advertises and goes
among the farmers and induces them to build better homes and
other improvements, they will naturally give the business to him,
and therefore the balance of trade will be greater for the progressive

Stating Things as They Are

oe 2 “You understand, of course, that I am not advocating this atti-
tude nor way of doing, but I am stating things as they exist and the
eral feeling among lumber dealers in the country towns. And
ings as they are in this respect are facts that are difficult to change.
I put my thoughts on things pertaining to the lumber business,
*t think of them in the light of what they are in the cities where
ealer rarely meets with the consumer and deals mostly with men

ere of a country yard and its relations to and with no others

ou | advise you not to throw it aside as waste matter, but rather
» a little of your spare time for the purpose of giving it at-

everything there is on the menu, but you look it over and
what you want. You can pick out a good deal in this read-
er that will not only give you a better and broader know-

ws tainaih LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

1e freedom of action that his progressive and ©

advertiser, he is bound to excite the attention of people living out-
side what is considered as the natural territory of his town, for it is a
sure thing that people are attracted to a man who advertises to give
a class of service which they are not in the habit of receiving from a
lumber yard.

A man who is going to build a house is having one of the times
of his life and is open for any information concerning it. And whe-
ther he lives two miles away or is a resident of a neighboring town
he is going to ignore his home dealer who is not as enterprising and
offers no extra inducement, and go and call on the dealer whose ad-
vertised offers of service have attracted his attention. If, perchance,
he brings his wife with him and together they look over the plans
and make their choice of one of them, this dealer will naturally try his
hardest to make a contract to sell the bill of material for it, whether
it will go out of his territory or not. He considers that the stranger
coming to consult with him is the blossom of his advertising and his
selling the bill the fruit of it, and, moreover, it is perfectly legitimate.
But, as all of us dealers have experienced, the dealers in the town
whose territory he has invaded will strongly object to his taking what
they believe belongs to them. And here comes up the knotty ques-
tion I have before spoken of. What is the common sense way of
dealing with it? In the event that the dealers interested are members
of the same association the feeling over it is liable to be intensified.

In the old free-for-all days we made no bones of selling a bill if
we could to any man who asked us for an estimate and didn’t care a
darn where he lived. But ethical considerations have come into the
business since then and as a rule dealers have given more recognition
to territorial rights. It is easy to figure out the territory and Jay down
rules regarding it, but while the dealers may do this in order to pro-
mote friendly relations between them, the other interested party, the
public, is not supposed to have any knowledge of this and would re-
sent anything of the kind if it did. Consequently there is a constant
liability of customers in one territory going over into another terri-
tory to exercise their right to buy where they please, and therefore
making potential trouble between the dealers of adjacent territories.

Ordinarily where the dealers are doing business along the old
lines allowing the trade to come to their yards without any particu-
lar effort to solicit it in a public way there is very little of it going

- from one territory to another, and whenever such a case occurs the

matter can be amicably arranged with the dealer whose territory has
been invaded. But with the injection into the retail lumber business
of the new and aggressive methods of creating and soliciting business
through advertising in the local papers, plan book systems, and all the
other devices for attracting and stimulating people to do what they
didn’t think they wanted, and all this with a view ot getting the
business for the yard that goes after it in this manner, the natural
result will be that it is bound to have a disturbing effect on the rela-
tions of the dealers in the same locality and neighboring towns. It
will probably be more aggravated at first and continue until all the
dealers have adopted the same methods. But conditions are such that
this is not likely to be and the “longest pole will knock the persim-
mons” as it always does in business competition, whether in. the form
of the lowest price or the methods of modern merchanidising. The,
aggressive dealer with the new ways of going after business is bound
to draw trade away from the non-progressive dealers in his locality,
even though he gets it at his own prices, and it is not his fault if
people living in the territories of other towns come and give him their
business.

It Would Penalize Ability

Now, to restrict such a dealer to the narrow limits of an arbitrary
territory is to penalize him for his ability and enterprise. He spends,
say, $500 to $1,000 a year in advertising, and other devices for attract-
ing trade where his competitor don’t spend a quarter or a tenth of
that. Now, is he not fully entitled to all the benefit that comes to
him because of his legitimate enterprise? If his attractive advertis-.
ing brings a customer from another town and he gives him the bene-
fit of his office service and square deal in the sale of his bill, is it rea-
sonable that he should be required to make a division of his profits
with the dealer in that town who hadn’t the enterprise to go after
the trade he thinks belongs to him? Does it seem reasonable to ex-
pect a man to pay a pefalty for his own enterprise?

I have been thinking a good deal the past year on this subject.
I see a new order of things evolving itself in the retail business and
it seems obvious to me that sooner or later we will have to reconstruct
our ideas on the question of territorial limits and divisions of trade
generally. It looks to me as though the trend of things is forcing the -
doing away with them altogether in our consideration. It looks, too,

in the retail business that to him that can get shall be given, and to-

him without the modern enterprise shall be taken away what he hath.
In other words, the non-progressive will be crowded out of the busi-
ness or else he will have to be content with a minor share of the trade.
Good roads, the auto truck, and the service of the modern yard will

eliminate all the old imaginary lines of territory between adjacent ©

towns and the business will be for those who best can serve their cus-

ditions are to-day. I am simply voicing my opinion as to the ten-
dency of the evolution that is going on in the trade.

Many of you are to-day in a state of mind favorable to the taking
up with an intensive system of advertising and some of the other ser-
vice stunts that modern merchandising requires. If you feel this way,
[ would advise you not to be deterred from doing it on account of
your competitor who may not feel as you do in the matter, even though
your business relations may be satisfactory. But before going into
anything of the kind it would be good policy on your part to have a
tall with him and inform him what you are thinking of doing and
propose to him that he do likewise and work in harmony with you to
create more business for both and make the town a distributing point
for all those who are attracted by your advertising and modern ser-
vice policy. If you can get right with him in this regard, you will
find it more profitable, no doubt, than by “playing a lone hand,” be-
cause if you go it alone, your competitor will, of course, in order to
hold his trade, retailiate on you by cutting the price of bills you have
worked to secure and otherwise demoralize the business. Team work
like this will be a competition, or rather emulation of service, instead
of a competition of prices. However, let nothing deter you from con-
senting with yourself to carry out a new departure in your business
methods. If they are of the right kind and you pursue them with
good judgment and sense, you are bound to win out in spite of com-
petitive opposition. C. H. Ketridge, in the Mississippi Valley Lum-
berman.

Operating Costs in the Retailing of Lumber
By Julius Seidel *

The subject assigned to me, and on which I am to speak, is one
that on the surface would appear, or seem to be, extremely simple.
It would be easier of solution were we to discuss the matter from a
local standpoint. To illustrate: when there are several lumber yards
operating in one and the same town, under like conditians as to un-
loading and piling charges, average distance of haul, amount of stock
necessary to carry on business, general expense as to help, rent and
taxation, we could reach a cost that would be uniform and nearly
correct.

The manufacturing or mill end of the lumber business is, in a
measure and to my mind, more simple of solution; yet it, too, finds
many exceptions to the adoption of fixed rules that would definitely
fit all conditions of the industry. In the retailing of lumber the prob-
lem of operating cost becomes, by the very nature of things, more
complex. The fact of the matter is this: Men engaged in the lumber
business have never so segregated their departments as to be able to
say definitely what the operating costs amount to in dollars and cents
on the various class of sales.

A retail lumber yard occupies a unique position in so far as it
“No sale too large for
our capacity or too small for best attention.” F.o.b. shipments to a
factory under construction, a wholesale order for several cars hauled
direct from the track to the building, or for factory use, the jobbing
carpenter’s order, or the catch-penny sale of one. board, all usually
go through the books under the same caption of a “lumber sale.”
When the year is over percentages of doing business are figured by
a summing up of all classes of trade, or sales, dividing the sum total
by the footage in order to arrive at a price per thousand or per cent.
basis. By this method a very vague and very incorrect idea of the
cost of retailing lumber is gained.

Just now the industry is confronted with the matter of service in
deliveries. In the cities the hauls have become longer and the time
set for the delivery, no matter what the amount, shorter. In the
rural districts the demand is becoming more acute for house deliveries.
Everything is leading to a specialization of effort. The farmer feels
that he is better served when the lumber yard itself hauls the lumber
on a lumber wagon, driven by a lumber teamster, who also unloads
the material in a careful way. It is my opinion that we should culti-

-vate and expand upon the service and thus be better able to develop
a real building up of communities.

Lumber, as a whole, is not generally shipped into a point where
‘the dealer has been sufficiently wideawake to handle his business as
a business and to push it with the enthusiasm that is back of city
concerns. :
Computing Operating Costs

In the computing of operating costs we must arrive at two essen-
tial things: labor incurred and overhead expense. Under labor we
have the piling charges, hauling into the yard and hauling out. Very
few yards are entirely free from hauling in, even though they have
their own switch. Hauling about your own yard should, however,
more properly be considered as a piling charge.

1. Piling Charges.—Putting lumber into a pile is only part of
the job. The full piling charge should be the putting into pile and
again putting it on the wagon. This work is costing more every year.

thirty piles of No. 1. Stick piling is slow work, as come
piling in bulk, and the cost to you of giving a customer just the «

2. The Rent Charge—When the lumber is in the yard and pile
that horrible landlord immediately claims a part of the pile, and if
has given you a nicely levelled or rolled lot on a good business ¢
he should get his compensation. Perhaps you are your own la
If you are and do not collect rents on your business lot, on 1
mercial worth under a re-valuation clause, every three to fiv
you are unfair to yourself and a detriment to the lumber business.

3. Employer’s Liability—-Then you reach the matter of liab
occasioned by accidents, and take out a policy so that you may
be wiped out by a judgment, something that may happen wh
least expect it. This means paying a bill for employer’s liab
your labor and teaming, and public liability as well.

4. Teaming —The matter of service is now flashed upon yo
public wants “sudden deliveries” and you must be ready to give
body any quantity of lumber, delivered anywhere at any hour ¢
day. So you line up to the horse trader, harness shop and
maker, and you may even flirt with the auto truck salesman, fc
purpose of getting hauling equipment. Since good service is
good money, the buyer should either pay for delivery service
full value or buy his own delivery outfit. Delivery of lumbe
actual labor charge and should not be donated. If the horses
get enough exercise hauling lumber at a profit, better sell some of
and the wagons rather than commit commercial baci by thre
in the hauling on a sale.

5. Improvements.—Of course, you want a shed to keep the fi

summer time, and to avoid using a pick-axe to get a board loose
ing the icy season. Sheds in lumber yards, also stables, wareroom
fences, driveways and roadways, and even an office with very moa
furnishings, cost real money. You may get a notice to clear the
place after the ten years’ lease expires, so better figure on 10 per cent.
depreciation on original cost per year. Lumber yard impron
are worthless when you vacate the lot. ¢ ie

6. Fire Insurance.—Supposing an old tramp, one of those. mean
kind, smoking a corn- -cob pipe, should become infatuated: with one ¢ of
your “soft pine” boards, with just a little resin on the surface sv
ent to ignite when the tobacco ashes fall upon it during the peaceft 1
slumber of trampy dear. Of course, you took out fire insurance be-
fore that could happen, and you got a bill for it, too, and paid i ‘it.
promptly.

7. Advertising.—Well, when the yard is ea to open up-
want to advertise the fact to the world. Should you be a bit old-
fashioned, you will spend less for publicity than you would were you
a pushing chap; but spend you do, and pay you must. \

8. Salesman.—Do you need a salesman? Well, I just lea eae SH
in fact, the best is none too good for your yard. Every retailer I ev if
met has the best solicitor in the ‘ ‘profesh” and a good man is always
worth his hire; besides, you will have some collections to make, s0
he fills two jobs— ‘pushing and shoving.”

9. Office Help.—And you need a mild-mannered, pleasant ‘duis 3
for a clerk, one who can take abuse from both customer and the boss
and never hear it. He is dirt cheap at $60 per month and he is < n
“for keeps” on the pay roll.

10. The Boss Himself—Well, well, we've quite overlooked t
fact that the concern really needs a head to it to make up the or
ization. Bosses do little and come high, but they add dignity to
company. So we engage a boss.

11. Office Supplies—Pretty soon we order the ’phone, desks a
chairs, estimate blanks, dray tickets, filing cases and books. Sever
they are hardly worth charging up, but collectively it takes the s
coin in the corner of the vest pocket to pay the bills. 3

12. That Merchants’ Tax.—Just as you feel jubilant on ha
done pretty well for a beginning in the way of sales a round-fe
red-nosed, round-bellied little man of 250 pounds lays a sheet on y
desk, requesting you to tell the city collector on the quiet how muc
those sales amount to, as a little merchants’ tax money is phe
coin for keeping up community expenses. s

13. Community Duties and Sundry Expenses.—Of course, +a
being in business puts you in the prominent business class and you
entitled to all of the “pay and look cheerful degrees” of that sti
Donations for conventions, church festivals, civic leagues, public w
fare, Boy Scout movements, etc., take a little, and as a matter
course you “chip in” on all of it for fear of being enrolled under t
illustrious order of crabs. Then come the little incidental

repairs, a coat of pa en the floor, c iL

un is down and out. Even so do they sum up and add to the
cost of doing business right.

14. Attorneys’ Fees.—And to cap the climax, we find that, after
ting our incorporation papers, it might be well to have a counsellor.
customer’s lot may have an adhesive plaster that would stick
er than lien paper and, therefore, we have the title solemnly ex-
ied. The farmer’s crop was not what he expected and a little
d deed of trust, with monthly notes, properly drawn by “our”
-is put on record. Of course, a lawyer costs a bit, but he saves
e by avoiding the cliffs. So he is down on the expense account.

5. Profit and Loss.—In spite of your precautions you meet men
1 memories constituted so conveniently that statements, coupled
a request for payment, are handily overlooked and forgotten.
here’s the crook and deadbeat, who feels that you can afford
while he is blamed sure that he himself cannot, as he has nothing
». It is fate or destiny that forces you to devote a page on your
ruled ledger to profit and loss.

Interest on Permanent Investment of Stock.—Then, to top it
you know that those horrid millmen will only allow a sixty-
in which to “ante up” for the stock you buy? That forces
namely, that of making you cash in all your safe investments
sh out to the millman. All your money is, therefore, transferred
yard and there it sticks permanently and for keeps. Now,
is vorth 6 per cent., and on a basis of $25 per thousand feet and
n of your stock three times during the year, it figures just 50
per thousand feet for interest that you must get out of your in-

t. If your sales can’t with certainty produce that on your
s, better get back to loaning out your money to the other fel-

let him do the worrying.

So, to sum it all up, suppose we say that lumber on a 20-cent rate
d by you at $26.50 per thousand delivered on the job. That
1 mean about a $20 cost basis to you on cars. Out of the $26.50
have to get back the actual labor charges and the overhead you
in real money, which, in reviewing the matter, is as follows:

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER ~~~

My sole motive in doing this is to bring vividly before you one
of the great problems of the present. The per thousand feet cost is
of as wide a range as are the opinions of lumbermen on the cost of
each and every item submitted to you, and that makes up the sum
total of $4.70 per thousand, or 24 per cent.

Cost Influenced By Market Price

The cost of business is influenced by the market price, or basis
price, in your town. If your average cost is $15 per thousand, your
investment is lighter than in such towns where averages are well up
to $20 per thousand. In those towns near to a source of supply of
native lumber we can figure on turning the stock oftener. These cases,
however, do not weigh in the balance and would not affect the aver-
ages to any degree.

To be fair about cost, we must go to towns and cities of a popula-
tion sufficiently large to assert themselves and express a demand for
all of the modern woods. The yards that are trying to keep full as-
sortments cannot hope to turn their stock more than three times a
year under normal conditions. Our country, as a whole, has passed
the era of mushroom development and is assuming an air of perman-
ency. Boom sales are past, and we should heed the demand of the
times—to keep more complete stocks, give better and more efficient
service. Recently I had occasion to learn that one of the most suc-
cessful department stores of our city is operating with an overhead
of 27 per cent. Large business formulates a policy and charges for
the service. When it sets aside a fixed sum for advertising, this sum
becomes a part of the overhead expense. The lumberman, however,
considers advertising a donation and parts with the coin begrudg-
ingly. You must make up your mind to set aside a certain amount,
say at least 25 cents per thousand, for the promotion of lumber and
let the consumer pay for telling him the story.

For years it has been my opinion that associations should -enter
upon the field of supplying their members with the means of getting
books of entry, accounting and auditing systems at a reasonable price.
It would create an awakening and standardize an industry which has
been working along the lines of uncertainty as to operating costs.

My own conclusions are that for the house bill trade, for com-
plete service of furnishing a bill of lumber at such times as it is re-
quired, and in such loads as needed, during the construction of the
building, we should add from 30 to 35 per cent. to the f.o.b. market
value at the time of sale. On retail sales to the consumer I do not
see how you can do business for less than fifty per cent. The demand
for auditors and business systems is an outcome and demand of the
times, and the retail lumber business should respond to this demand.
The manufacturers are making a gallant, open, aggressive and educa-
tional fight to educate the trade as to the best use of wood. We musi
appreciate our duty equally as well by supplying and serving. the
public in a manner that commends itself to them. The fundamental
idea is to do the service well and charge for it.

The Minister of Lands of British Columbia reports that while no
sawmill timber is being logged in the Fort George forest district, pres-
ent operations being confined to the taking out of timber for bridge
and road construction, mining development, and cordwood, the future
of the lumber industry in that country is looked upon as being hope-
ful. The prairie demand for lumber has enabled one firm to resume
cutting from a stock of logs which has been on hand for years, while
another concern is preparing to start up again. The recent reduction
in the freight rate on lumber between that district and Edmonton will
have a favorable effect, and encourage the mills to cater for other
than local needs.

Shells for Huns Made at the C. N. Exhibition

Though munitions of war are being turned out in hundreds of
Canadian factories, few but the men actually engaged in the work
know anything of the system employed, the process being one of the
most closely guarded of war secrets. The veil will be lifted when the

Canadian National Exhibition opens on Aug. 26. Permission has been |

obtained from the War Office, through the Canadian Government, to
show the processes of manufacture, and several machines, operated
by skilled workmen, will be engaged for the two weeks turning out
shells and projectiles for delivery to the Huns through the gun muz-
zles of the Allies.

Demand for Lumber in France

_ France does not import large
quantities of timber. During 1914
_ the value of imported timber was
£1,709,625, an average of 3s.
104d. per head. This is just 25
per cent. of the amount imported
by Great Britain.
About 18 per cent. of the area
of France is under forest, which
is under the control of the Gov-
‘ernment, in order to prevent over-
cutting and maintain the produc-
tion. The average quantity of
timber cut per annum is 910,740,-
000 cubic feet, which added to the
. imports, shows an annual con-
4 _ sumption per head of 27 cubic
_ feet, about twice that of Great
| Britain. ,
A large quantity of this timber
4 is used for railway ties; beech
and oak are mostly used for this
_ purpose, their average life being
about twenty years. The annual

the majority—i.e., 5, 500, 000—are

Review of Current Trade Conditions

Ontario

The most frequently discussed matter in connection with the
lumber business in Ontario is the fact that the farmer, who is gener-
ally believed to have made a lot of money out of his crops last year, is
not showing any readiness to part with it for lumber or building ma-
terials. The disappointing spring weather had much to do with this.
Having spent so much time with his seeding, the farmer did little or
nothing in the way of building, and. when the fine weather set in at
last, he had passed the time of year when he likes to start building, or
making repairs. It is not likely that the Ontario farmer will be a fac-
tor of any importance in the lumber trade for the balance of the pres-
ent year. He will of course take a moderate amount of material and
perhaps a little more than he did last year.

One of the interesting features of the trade to-day, though not
one to be pleased about, is the way in which the market for hemlock
has failed to take any interest in No. 2 stock. The small movement
there is in hemlock is all-in No. 1, of which stocks are not large,
while No. 2 stocks are accumulating and are really making the manu-
facturers wonder whether they can be got rid of at all.

The demand for stock for shell box purposes continues strong.
The latest contracts let by the Imperial Munitions Board call for
large quantities of lumber and they are now well on the market. One
hears on all sides, however, the continued complaint that the Board
have got the prices down so low, by calling for tenders, that the pro-
duction of shell boxes is a losing proposition for those who get con-~
tracts, and that the Board is likely to feel the effects of this in the
way of unsatisfactory deliveries. Moreover, wholesalers and manu-
facturers who are selling stock to shell box manufacturers are fre-
quently very dubious as to whether they will get their money out of it.

Most hardwoods are quiet but firm. ‘There seems to be a gen-
eral improvement in basswood, caused to some extent by a shortage
of stocks. A lot of small mills which turned out stock last year have
produced nothing this year on account of unsuitable weather condi-
No. 3 common

Eastern Canada

There is very little change to report in the lumber trade of New
Brunswick, but there has been an important falling off in the cost of
freight space for ocean shipment, during the last fortnight. Our lat-

_ est advices tell of a drop of 125 shillings per standard. There has been

no rush to secure space, however, as the demand in the English mar-
ket has fallen off greatly. Coastwise freights have also come down,
the decline amounting to about $1 per thousand feet. Stocks are not
large and an improvement in the demand would probably stiffen up
prices all round. The American market has steadied down to some
extent and no longer shows the nervousness that prevailed a fortnight

-ago. Local trade at St. John is very quiet.

Building operations at Montreal are still on a small scale and
the local lumber trade is quiet. The trade’in hardwoods was active
a short time ago, but has also become quiet. There is a fair amount
of interest in B. C. lumber, especially Douglas fir. Trade with the
United States is on a moderate scale only, and the same thing applies

‘to that with Great Britain.

Business has been dragging to some extent in the spruce trade of
Boston of late. Lower quotations have apparently made the retailers
anxious, instead of tempting them to buy more extensively. The best
quotations on frames are still held at $25 by large wholesalers. Ran-
dom is in fair demand at the following range: 2 x 3, $20.50 to $21;
2x 4, $21 to $21.50; 2 x 5 and 2 x 6, $20.50 to $21; 2 x 8; $24; 2 x 10,
$25.50. to $26.50; 2 x 12, $26.50 to $27.50. Spruce boards are quiet and
buyers are adopting a waiting policy. Hemlock at Boston has been
affected to some extent by the reduction in the price of southern pine
and by the altered quotations on spruce. Hemlock boards have been
lowered a little bit by some dealers to meet the new situation. Hem-
lock planks are in better demand and steady. Shingles continue in
good demand at Boston with prices firm, but there is a possibility
that manufacturers will be catching up with their orders before long,
and prices may ease off a little. Extra good white cedar extras are
selling easily at $3.60,

ment of output has now developed throughout the Southern States
and to a considerable extent also through the West Coast producing

to avoid trade depression will be to cut down the output, and most

The market at London continues fairly active. Rather large shi

trade it is encouraging to note in a recent issue of the Lumber Tra
Journal, the following remarks: “It should be the duty of importers
do as much business as possible with our colonies and to instil in
the minds of consumers the advantages of the freer use of colo
woods. We know that freights are still high from Canada, but
also applies to all lumber producing countries. It is unfortu
however, that freights on spruce goods cost three or four times
value of the wood.” Deliveries at London docks during the w:
ending June 10 amounted to 6,140 standards, as compared with +
standards during the corresponding week of 1915. pee eK
On account of the temporary decline in freight rates for spruce
shipments, c.i.f. prices at Liverpool have been a shade lower of
but the result is simply to prevent other price advances for the
being. Spot prices are practically as firm as ever, £35 to £36

3.x 7 in. Some merchants are looking for a little weakness in ori

St. John Trade—Ocean Freights Down

St. John, N.B., July 6th.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman).
—The past two weeks have seen little change in the lumber business
at St. John. In so far as shipments and local sales are concerned, the
only change has been in foreign freights, which have eased off over
125 shillings per standard, and are still falling. Very little tonnage is
being offered, but what is offered is not readily bid for, as was the
case during the past twelve months, and if the boat wishes a charter
very much the owners are forced to accept a much lower rate than at
any time in the last year. Coastwise, the same effect is being felt.
Schooners which were asking $5 to $6 to New York, are now taking
$1 per M. less. The great reason for lower freights is the poor de-
mand for lumber, the price of which in the English market has re-
ceded £5 to £6 per standard, with the demand growing less all the
time. Stocks are not excessive, and if any business were offered no
doubt prices would stiffen at once. This would cause shipping to be
resumed and freights would continue to advance. The allies have not
been buying timber to any extent during the last two months. Their
demand has been a large factor in keeping freights and prices at the
high pitch during the past month. If they should again come on the
market it would have a tendency to harden prices.

No sales of any deals have taken place during the last two weeks
and practically no shipments have gone forward. Upwards of ten
million deals are piled on lighters awaiting shipment, and probably as
many more are on the wharves at the mills, with plants still running,
5 mills sawing English deals and two American sizes.

The American market is no weaker than two weeks ago. If any-
thing, it is steadier and the nervousness has subsided to some extent.
The base price still remains at $25, Boston, and the tendency seems
to be to stiffen. Many of the eastern mills which used to saw deals
are Closed, and the logs are going into pulp mills. The months we are
now passing through are always hard ones, and when cooler weather
comes along it usually brings a change for the better.

Local conditions are no better than some two weeks ago. The
amount of building is being curtailed more and more, with no very
good outlook ahead for the fall. Last year a fall crop of houses came
on the market and helped to keep the factories busy all winter. Whe-
ther this will happen again this season cannot be told, but it is to be
hoped it will be the case. Stocks of low grade lumber are excessive
and are lower than some time ago. Spruce boards are not moving
freely, either on rough or matched. Short lumber prices are firmer
than long lumber.

Laths are worth about $2.75 on wharves at St. John. Shingles,
so far as St. John is concerned, are in an independent position, for
very few mills have any cedar logs to saw.

The box shook trade is very busy and has been the only trade
which has not shown a falling off.

All the logs are now safe on the booms. Up to July 1st the Boom
Co. had rafted out over 25,000,000 feet of logs. This is about one-half
the logs in the booms.
to a good pitch and driving has been finished a month earlier than
usua

Messrs. Murray & Gregory, Ltd., have just completed and started
their new mill at Lac Frontiere, Que., where they have 6,000,000 of
logs to manufacture before snow ‘flies, besides a large quantity of pulp
wood. This mill will saw about 50,000 feet per day, and is fitted with
a fast feed rotary and all the best equipment for a modern mill.

B. C. Stocks Attracting Attention at Montreal

Montreal, July 10.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman). With
building operations still on a small scale, the local market is quiet.
Apart from two or three theatres and a small number of schools and
churches, building projects are of little importance. The additions to
factories necessitated by munition orders are now about over, and
contractors are relying for the main part of their work on residences,
but even these are not as a rule of any size. There is a fair amount of
building proceeding in the province, and this of course helps the
Solnme. of trade. The Montreal permits for the month of June were
walued at $748,050, a decrease of $276,065, while for the half year the
_ total was $2,434,344, a decline of $984,765.

Business in hardwoods, which was brisk for a considerable period,
has now fallen off.

An inquiry for about 125,000,000 feet of lumber for French ac-
count—for the Government, it is stated—has been received here.
Spruce, pine, B. C. fir, and various hardwoods are called for. The
specifications include one random lot of over 26,000,000 feet.

Of late there has been a better demand for B. C. lumber, especial-.

The Spruce Market at Liverpool :
In a discussion of the market situation for spruce at Liverp
the “Timber Trades Journal” of London, England, in its issu
June 17th, refers to the subject as follows: “During the past w
the «i.f. market, for lower port spruce, has lost some of the firr
that has characterized it for such a considerable time, and the w
tendency that prevails, whether of short-duration or not, is both
den, and, except among a few importers, unexpected. Allusion
been made to the uneasiness that appeared to be displayed by ma
consumers and merchants, who were of the opinion that the fa
off in freights was the beginning of a slump in spruce, but at the s
time it is impossible to say whether the freight situation, as seen
day, is really responsible, in itself, for the sluggish feeling i - thevtn
at present existing. s
“True, tonnage rates are down, and, reflecting the welaeae it
grain, etc., they may yet recede further, but the lower steamer fix-
tures are for prompt voyages, and so far do not apply to later s
ments; so that the present position may be no criterion even of the
near future, although, with the more definite control of British ton-
nage, the likelihood is that neutral boats will be seriously affected.
“A further setback in freights may not, however, mean corres-
pondingly lower spruce prices, as the highest c.if. figure recorded
this season does not permit of the highest freight paid, |
the possibilities are that the bulk of the shippers’ cargoes alre
chartered for are now disposed of. Further, though additional ch
tering is sure to take place, it is likely not to be to a large ext
as it is understood the tonnage shortage of some weeks ago does
to-day exist, in view of the f.o.b. businessewhich has taken place,
for which the Government transports will be utilized.
“Whilst the freight outlook has played some part in shaki gt the
importer’s opinion of the future, to make it entirely responsible is
misleading. A more reasonable cause is that the weakening is due
to sympathy with the Swedish position; and in the fact that among
the first arrivals from the lower ports were a few unsold carg =
Coming as they did on the top of an easy tonnage market, despond-
ency was quickly brought about, and unless the unforeseen happens,
a better state of affairs can still transpire. Heavier arrivals must be
expected at this time of the year, but, allowing for all, shipme ts
may yet be well short of anticipations.”

Boston Trade Slacking Off :

A Boston firm of wholesalers advises us under recent date, as fol
lows: white pine in the barn board grade seems to be firm. The sp
list is almost all weaker. There seems to be a let-up in buyin
now. There were a great many embargoes in force during the
and some people bought and kept on buying because they coul
get what they bought. Finally they have gotten the lumbee i
it seems to have ov verstocked them, and there has been rather a
eral hold-up in buying. We think the yards are doing a fair
some of them a very “good trade. There is a little trouble thr
New England in certain localities with strikes. Altogether the
seems to be off the boom. However, we have little doubt but
will be a strong trade again by fall. N.C. pine has been the we
thing and the low grades of box and roofers have very mate
fallen off. White pine box, on the other hand, seems to be fairly
and not over and above plenty.

of one piece, as the stability of the case depends largely upon the
ends. The top should also be of one piece. At least one side should
be of one piece. The kind of wood to be used is especially important.
It should be odorless. Such woods as pine have a resinous odor which
attaches to the currants and damages them. The material should be
of light weight and fairly tough. Spruce is probably best adapted for
this use. The annual consumption of quarter cases on this market
is about 2,000,000. Local firms are now beginning to place their or-

Taxing Lumber Off the Face of the Earth

In an address before the Federal Trade Commission of the
States, one of the counsel for the National Lumber Manufa
Association made the following remarks about the a
lumber industry, recently :—

“A: factor of greatest significance is the geographical locatic
the industry as related to the markets. The freight to the mark <€
greatest consumption generally equals, and often exceeds, the
of the manufactured product. The rail haul to the competitive
kets approximates 2,000 miles.

“The local trade consumes about three-fifths of the entire
tion. The entire production in the States of Oregon and Was a
annually during a normal year is 5,600,000,000, or nearly 6.000,06
feet. In round numbers the State of Washington will prodt Ce
4,000, 000,000 and the State of Oregon about 2,000,000,000.

“Common building grades of lumber, such as boards, sh
dimension, are sold at the mills to-day at from $6 to $8. The
er in the east, on the other hand, pays anywhere from $22 to
pending on the keenness of competition, and where it is loca

“To the north lies British Columbia, manufacturing in
tion the same commodity. The industry there enjoys the a
Government. We can rest assured that when peace comes
and more substantial aids will be given the Canadian operat

“The tax element is a prime influence in the urge of ove
tion. The average value in fourteen counties in whith one «
owns land in tracts varying from 5,000 to 30,000 acres, is ‘$26 a
and that is the assessed valuation, and on that basis the ave
for the year 1913 was $1.119 per acre. That i is a little over 2
thousand on the county cruises.

“Outside of those averages in one county they have taxed i
high that the taxes per annum amount to as high as $6 ee

Present and Future of Prairie Trade
By H. Finger, of Finger Lumber Co., The Pas, Man.

Probably no industry in Canada has suffered more from the et-
fects of the war than the lumber industry. While the war has been
the means of a rapid increase in the prices of commodities such as
food stuff, iron, clothing, etc., lumber has not been so favored. The
few advances that have taken place since last fall have'not as yet
placed lumber at normal value.

The export business of British Columbia has not yet attained
the activity hoped for. The demand from foreign countries is there,
but the manufacturers have been unable to secure sufficient ship space
to load. The B. C. mills have, therefore, been compelled to look to
the Prairie Provinces for the marketing of their lumber. This active
competition of the B. C. mills is considered an important factor in
+he tendency to keep the price of our native product, spruce, down to
almosi unprofitable level.

During the summer of 1915 the lumber market was in a demor-
alized state. The big crop harvested in Manitoba, Saskatchewan.
and Alberta changed the situation somewhat, and during the latter
Paice or the year uuere was a real old-time demand tor lumber ana
prices actually went up a notch. The spruce manufacturers were
hopeful that at last a change for the better had taken place and as
the stocks at all the mills were very low and badly broken in grade
and sizes, they prepared for a rather heavy output of logs. I am not
in possession of reliable statistics as to the extent of last winter’s log-
ging, but I believe I am safe in placing the output of Northern Mani-
toba and Saskatchewan spruce at 110,000,000 feet. The logging was
favored with good weather conditions, but at times operations were
handicapped by heavy snowfall. Men were fairly plentiful, but cer-
tain restlessness was noticed among them at times and wages had a
tendency to advance. The scale of wages ranged from $15.00 to
$45.00 per month.

All the drives have been successfully brought to the mills and
sawing operations commenced under favorable conditions. All the
mills are preparing for a big cut, running night and day.

Lately there has been a noticeable falling off in demand, but
prices still remain firm, and it is not considered that the decline is
caused by any real stagnation of business in the Prairie Provinces.
Weather conditions throughout the Middle West have been very un-
favorable for building and heavy rains have delayed seeding to a
certain extent. As soon as weather conditions improve, it is certain
there will be a very active demand for lumber. This demand is

The price is reasonable.

bound to increase as soon as peace is established in Europe.
mendous quantities of lumber will be needed in European coun
that have lveen devastated by the war, in reconstruction, and as soor
as the mills at the seaboard, both Atlantic and Pacific, can obtain be
toms to load, the pressure in the domestic market will be relieved.
It is also quite certain in my mind that with the approach of normal
conditions, public, private and railway construction will be resun
with renewed activity. There are so many needed repairs, so ma
needed public buildings, so many needed new railway lines, the con-
struction of which have been postponed during the last four. year:

better times, that as soon as the sword is sheathed in Europe th
is bound to be a rush in construction all,over this western coun
I am, therefore, hopeful that next year will place lumber at a) ve
that will insure the manufacturer a reasonable profit so as to
pense him for the loss, worry and strain to which he has been s
mitted the last four or five years.

In conclusion, I wish to say that I believe it would be refit

trade generally if a closer relation existed between the retailer a
the manufacturer. Their interests are common; what benefits oi
benefits the other. The manufacturer should ‘study the reta
requirements and fill the orders promptly as called for, but
manufacturer finds he must make an extra charge for special wo

tailers are at times somewhat unreasonable in demanding “
shipment or cancellation.” The capacity of a mill’s shipping d
ment is just so much and beyond that it cannot be increased,
seems unfair that one reailer should demand that his order Leeda
ference over others. Retailers do not always seem to remember the
is such a thing as car shortage, which particularly makes itself
during the season when the grain is being moved. Crowding |
orders could be prevented if the retailers could be induced to
orders ahead and carry sufficient stock of the items for which there
is continual demand.

state that the shipment of B. C. timber and forest products to Eas

supplies for logging operations, to the mouth of the Brochet River, where the
logs are placed in pocket booms to be towed across Lake Mekinak by-a.tug,
and from Brochet River the telephone line continues to Lake Mekinak dam
at a point where the logs are sluiced into the Mekinak River and driven for a
distance of seventeen miles to the main St. Maurice River, twenty-one miles
above Grandes Piles. This telephone line is a great convenience both for
“their logging and driving operations. It is their intention now to have lines
to the different streams that run into Lake Mekinak. This facility of telephone
communication will be a safeguard against forest fires, as well as a conveni-
ence in their operating works.

“T Call That a Perfect

ONTHS, or even years from now, when your most particular
M and perhaps best paying customer calls on you to match the
job of moulding you are running for him to-day, will you be able to
fill his order according to specifications—not approximately ‘‘like
sample,” but ABSOLUTELY? Will he be able to place a piece
from the new run up alongside the old and say, ‘‘ That’s a perfect
match?” The chances are against you unless you have installed
one of the

| Yates Fast Feed Moulders

————— Equipped with Mill-to-Pattern Bits

Mouldings run to day may be matched ten years from now to

ind the one one-thousandth part of an inch with no additional bit expense
Write for

other than re-grinding. Compared to old and laborious processes of
5 oabele forming bits by hand, the cost of milled-to-pattern bits is negligible
Be ond orming bits by hand, of milled-to-pattern bits gligible.

The pattern of the milled bit extends its entire length and cannot
be changed by wear or grinding.

Specialties’’

Being exactly identical in form and all jointed to a perfect
cutting circle on the machine at
top speed, each of the six bits in
the slip-on profile head does its
own share of the cutting. This
means fast feeds and perfect work
with non-productive time cut to
the limit.

Complete data covering all

Yates Moulders so equipped
awaits your investigation.

whose power was never realized, and all Englishmen have, to a great
extent, forgotten the old quarrels, and are endeavoring to be ready
after the war to make a start on an altogether different basis.

Probably no question aroused a more bitter feeling than that of

Free Trade v. Tariff Reform. Learned professors and practical business
men argued the matter for years, but so strong was the party feeling

that, previous to the war, it was the rarest of occurrences to find any
notable change of view from the one side to the other. Few, however,
are now prepared to endorse their former views in their entirety;
some of the leading free trade exponents have declared that the old
conditions are no longer possible; and, on the other side, Mr. Austen
Chamberlain, among others, has stated that he cannot ratify all he
said on this question in past days. The recent Economic Conference
at Paris shows also what a vast change has taken place. Great Britain
was represented at this conference by leading lights in two formerly
hostile camps, and yet unanimous recommendations were made, for
the war has cut right across our old party lines, and an alteration in
our fiscal policy is recognized everywhere as absolutely essential to
our future peaceful development. And even those who still adhere to
the belief that free trade is theoretically our best policy recognize that
we have now allies to whom we are bound by the strong tie of a com-
mon enemy, that these allies have never held the views which have
largely obtained in this country, and that it is therefore our duty to
give way to the majority, and to render our assistance in the eco-
nomic measures which it is thought will be necessary in the near
future.

In war prepare for peace is becoming as great an article of faith
in this country as its antithesis has been in Germany; and, as Mr.
Hughes said in one of his speeches, it is necessary to act at once, or
at any rate to have the ground thoroughly prepared for immediate
action at any moment.

In the timber trade the question will arise whether any import
duty is to be put upon wood, whether the raw material is to be taxed,
or partly manufactured wood, or wholly manufactured wooden
articles ; and, further, whether a preference is to be given to our colon-
ies and allies. The question opens up a very wide field of speculation,
and we can only now glance briefly at some of the aspects of the sub-
ject on the broadest lines. We would not, in the first place, ask
whether the timber trade, or any section of it, would be benefited by
an import duty on wood manufactures (for the interests of a particu-
lar trade are not always identical with those of the nation), but
whether such a change in our fiscal policy would be a national gain or
loss. We quote again from Mr. Hughes, a statesman who has made
a great study of these questions, and who has been specially honored
by our Government :—

“Let me state what are the terms of the problems which will
confront us after the war. First, there are the millions of soldiers
who will return from the war and the millions of others engaged in
making munitions; added to these are the men now employed who
before the war could not find employment. Are you going to tell the
men who fought and saved the Empire that there is no place for them,
or, at any rate, no place worthy of them? Are you going to turn
those adrift who are now carrying on the work of the country? And
what are you going to do with the million of women workers who are
now doing the work of men? Do you not see in your mind’s eye the —
streets crowded with these millions of returned soldiers, munition
workers, workers of all kinds, men and women, all suddenly con-
ironted with the frightful consequences arising out of the dislocation
of industry ?”

One of the great problems after the war will undoubtedly be to
find employment in this country, and we would put this aspect of‘the
question before all others at the present time. If sawn wood is taxed,
and the tax graduated and increased as the sawn wood approaches
the stage of a completely manufactured article, the result, provided
the duty is adequate, will be to keep out of the country the manufac-
tured products and to increase the demand for English labor. This is,
we think, the main argument which will apply in present circum-
stances. It would formerly have been objected that in this way we
are not obtaining the goods so cheaply. Perhaps not, but cheapness
in itself is.no longer a fetish to be worshipped. Strength is required,

26 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

and “the real strength of a ‘nation lies not in material wealth or
amount of trade or ii of territory, but in the number and quality —
of its men and women.”

As to details, a 10 per cent. ad valorem duty on floorings and
mouldings would be more effective for revenue purposes than as a
protective measure; probably 15 or 20 per cent. would be required, at
any rate at first, but even this might not be sufficient to prevent the
large importation of doors, frames, and other fully manufactured

War’s Effect upon European Timber

Aside altogether from the effect upon European markets of the
demand for lumber and timber arising out of the war, it is important
and interesting to note its effect upon the standing timber resources
of those countries that are engaged’in the struggle, and especially
those that are located within the range of operations. Belgium, the
major portion of which is in possession of the Germans, had some
forested land which was, as it might well be termed, more of a scenic
than a commercial nature.
destroyed. Much of the timber was used by the Germans for
military purposes —in the construction of trenches, in road build-
ing, in the erection of shelters, barracks, etc.; considerable was
used for firewood, and it has been stated, with what accuracy it is
impossible to say, that timber not used in this way or needed in the

military zone has been shipped to Germany for home consumption. —

Most probably this is so. As regards Belgium, it would not be at all
surprising to learn, when the war is over, that there remains on Bel-
gian soil no timber of commercial value; that her scenic forests have
been wiped out, and that thousands of her roadside and street trees
have been used for fuel and for other purposes by the Germans.

In Northern France, on both sides of the fighting front, great
damage has been done the forests, not only by the tremendous bom-
bardments which have marked the fighting there, and by the hail of
bullets from small arms which have swept forested spaces, but by the
trench builders, the road engineers, and others who needed timber
for construction work. Thousands of new roads or passageways have
been built for the rapid transportation of guns, munitions, supplies,
and men, to thousands of points along both fronts. Many of the roads
or passageways are of the type known as corduroy roads, the base
being made of tree trunks, overlaid with branches, and these branches
overlaid with earth. These roads alone necessitate the cutting of
thousands upon thousands of trees. In the lining of trenches and the
building of shelters there has been unceasing demand for more and
more timber, and when it has been on hand in the shape of single
trees, groups of trees, woodlands or forests it is fair to assume that it
has been freely used.

Mill Type Construction Making Headway

The awakening of interest in mill construction which is taking
place in Eastern Canada is due to a number of causes that have been
working together to bring home to the public an appreciation of the
exceptional value and service which they get from such construction.
One of the chief factors in this connection is undoubtedly the effort
that is being put forth by the British Columbia Government to inter-
est consumers in the use of the splendid timbers produced in the
Pacific Coast province mills. When the war is over and conditions
again approach normal so far as the general industrial situation is
concerned, we believe that the manufacturers of British Columbia
timber will find a gratifying demand for their products for use in mill-
constructed buildings. Our conviction on this point is based largely
upon the fact that the public are already showing more than usual
interest, and at the same time are being shown in a practical manner
what they can do with British Columbia products.

In Canada we are following, to a great extent, the lead of our
friends across the line, who have been compiling a great amount of
statistical and scientific information about mill construction and have
been placing it before the average reading public. An example of

was one of satisfaction. One cotton mill one hundred and six years
old was claimed to be largely in its original condition and is in use
daily. Another mill built in 1825 was supplied with girders spanning
three bays without a break and all in perfect condition.

In some of the moré modern mills the floors in rooms where a
large amount of water is used are supported by timber girders, which
are creosoted before placing, and the flooring laid with a 14-in. space
between boards. No trouble was reported in the case of girders thus
treated even after several years of service.

When heavy timber floors are used on steel beams supported by
steel or iron columns, a 4-in. by 8-in. nailing strip is spiked or bolted
to the top flange of the steel beam and the nails from the flooring are
held by this strap. The steel post cap is seen but little, while the
cast iron cap with cast pintle is used by nearly all designers.

One of the leading engineers made the remark that manufactur-
ing processes were changing so rapidly and the item of space needed
was of such importance that the heavy timber mill construction type
of building was the logical solution of the problem when changes were
likely to be necessary or additions to plant to be built.

Extremes Meeting in British Columbia

fact we wondered whether they had kept pace with the Forest Branch
of British Columbia in its appreciation of the fact that unless the
material taken from the forests is properly marketed the forester and
the lumberman will alike suffer. Apparently the forestry profession
is behind its representatives in British Columbia heart and soul, as is
shown by a reference to this subject in the June number of the For-
estry Quarterly.

Referring to the publicity work and other efforts of the Forest
Branch of British Columbia, the Quarterly pays tribute to the effi-
ciency of the work, and continues as follows :— :

“To cap the cilmax of this remarkable activity of the Forest
Branch in securing markets, the Chief Forester, Mr. H. R. MacMil-
lan, who is responsible for developing this phase of the Forest Branch,
Was appointed Special Trade Commissioner of the Dominion Depart-
ment of Trade and Commerce, and has been traveling for nearly a
year to-all parts of the world, with a, view to establishing trade con-
nection for British Columbia mill products and furnishing insight
through personal knowledge into special requirements of markets.

“Of course, all this literature, which is distributed freely by the
hundred thousands, is frankly propagandist and advertising matter,
but, considering the source, must be truthful and authoritative, devoid
of extravagant claims which a private concern might make.

“From the forester’s point of view at first sight, this canvassing
would appear out of his freld, but as a matter of fact, application of
forestry methods can only be afforded when the cost of the dead work
—dead for the present—always involved in any forestry work—work
for the future—is covered by the price obtainable for the present pro-
duct. To find profitable markets and extension of use of minor mater-
ials particularly seems to us a most needful undertaking, especially in
British Columbia, where for years the lumber industry has been suf-
fering by its distance from markets.

“There is one result which will come to the Forest Branch from
this well-directed propaganda which must not be underrated, namely,
that it will ingratiate itself with the lumber industry and through that
with the politicians, so that it will be possible more readily to inaugur-
ate conservative processes of forestry practices. We congratulate
Mr. MacMillan on his enterprise in going out beyond mere routine
administrative work.”

While the work that is being done by the British Columbia For-
est Branch and its representatives in promoting the use of British
Columbia timber and lumber is meeting with good results in many
parts of Canada, it is only fitting to remark that probably the most
successful results are those that are being obtained in Eastern Can-
ada, under the direction of the Lumber Commissioner at Toronto,
Mr. L. B. Beale. Mr. Beale has covered much of the territory in
Eastern Canada already, and is receiving many enquiries and a
goodly number of them are turning into orders. This applies to points
throughout Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces.

28 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER :

Shell Box Prices—Are They Adequate’

Lumbermen Finding the Trade Risky—Complain That Shell
Box Makers Cannot Pay for Lumber and Make a Profit

Although we have heard a great deal of discussion recently in
regard to the shell box business in Canada, bearing chiefly upon the
prices at which contracts have been awarded by the Imperial Muni-
tions Board, we have avoided discussing the subject to any extent,
feeling that it was wise to wait until the situation had been developed
more fully and the pros and cons of criticism that we have heard had
been more definitely sifted out. We have heard so much criticism
during the past few weeks, however, that it seems to us that the
situation now calls for some publicity. Briefly, the main point of
criticism that we have heard from many quarters is to the effect that
contracts have been let at such low prices that there is no profit in
them for the manufacturers. It may be thought by- some that this is
an indication of good business on the part of the Government, or
rather on the part of the Imperial Munitions Board, but when the
matter is analyzed it is not difficult to see that by following out such
a course the Munitions Board is really cutting off its nose to spite
its face.

We cannot put this matter any more clearly or forcibly than in

the words of a manufacturer and wholesaler who discussed the matter’

with us recently. This man, representing one of the most important
Canadian firms, finds that in selling material to the box manufac-
turers he is up against a very different proposition to any that he has
had to face in the past. In spite of the fact that he is dealing with
firms that are handling very large orders for the production of shell
boxes, he has to be on the watch every minute of the day in con-
nection with the credit end of the business. He is gradually eilmin-
ating many of the customers whom he took on at first, finding that
it is not safe to give them credit, and that without credit they cannot
handle the business.

“Tn the first place,” this lumberman says, in speaking of the Beth-
lehem box, “there is the question of cost for the production of shell
boxes. The cost of labor, the cost of bands, steel, etc., are all very
much higher than they were for the old boxes, and the price of lumber
should be higher, but we cannot get it. The man who makes a con-
tract for the box, in the first place, cannot cut down his Jabor cost, and
there is a close enough combination among the steel producers to
prevent him from cutting down the cost of steel. The only way in
which he can keep down the cost is by traffiicking around with his
order for lumber until he can get it at the lowest possible price.
Naturally, the first result of this is a tendency on the part of the firm
from whom he buys the lumber to furnish him with an inferior article.
The lumberman has to do this in order to get his cost out of the
order at all. It costs just as much more proportionately to produce
lumber to-day as it does to produce steel.

“Then there is another feature of the situation that is of great
importance. A large portion of the orders given out for shell boxes
during the past two months have gone to’ concerns that are being
‘run by a liquidator, or to concerns whose credit ratings are such that
they are not entitled to thesregular lumber terms ‘of credit. The
consequence is that if you want to sell material to them you either

have to stand out for a straight cash discount before you unload the -

stock or take your chance of ever getting your money for your goods.
Labor has no such a thing as a credit term. It must be paid for each
week. Steel concerns will not give credit. As a consequence, the
box manufacturers pay for their labor and pay the steel man, while
the lumber manufacturer and dealer either holds his lumber or takes
a considerable risk. If the box manufacturer can make good and
work out a profit—which is questioned by most of the authorities
upon the subject—then the lumberman will be paid; but if the box
manufacturer falls down, as it is predicted that many of them will,
the lumber dealer and the manufacturer of lumber are stung.

“The question, then, arises as to what protection the lumberman
can get under these circumstances. Will the Government permit him
to attach moneys due, or will they throw out an application for
attachment, the same as they do when you try to attach the wages of
a Government employee; or, provided they permit you to attach these
moneys, will they then cancel the manufacturers’ contracts for boxes?
In the face of the great quantity of orders that have been placed for
these boxes and of the fact that so many of the manufacturers are now
falling down on their deliveries and dropping out on their contracts,
would it not be possible for the Imperial Munitions Board to do some-
thing in the way of assisting those who are supplying these materials,
so that they may be secure as to their money? ~The supplies of
material are just as necessary to the quick and efficient delivery of
munitions and boxes as the work that has to be done in their produc-
tion, and are just as worthy of consideration from the Munitions
Board.

upon the above points, we have not so far invited our readeate

sure that orders given out are upon a price base that will ‘not ine

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER ~ 29

Why are we not organized for War?

A Northern Ontario manufacturer, writing to the Canada Lum-
berman, says:

“As the season advances the difficulty of securing sufficient labor
to do the work is becoming greater, and the hardwood manufacturer
suffers more than those cutting pine and other soft woods. ‘The
result will be that better prices must be obtained for stocks since the
cost of producing them has increased so much.

“It is almost impossible to think that the Government are inter-
ested in the business of the lumberman and other manufacturers when
they take no steps to organize the country industrially, and that is
what must be done if we are to keep the industries of Canada working.

“It is well known that there are many thousands of eligible men
who are not enlisted, and are not working at the real work of to-day,
viz., producing raw material and turning it into marketable products.

“In these trying times, when the Empire is in the crucible, we
can do with half the ministers, half the lawyers, half the insurance
men, and altogether without the idle, purposeless men who are not
bending their backs and working their bodies to the limit to help keep
up our end.

“Conscription is a hateful word to the free man, but unless
something of that nature is put in force it is hard to estimate the loss
of life and property Canada will suffer. The means are ready. The
Government can any day order every man to present himself for
examination and enlistment, and if not fit to stand against the enemy
on the battlefield, he can be used to supply the place of those who are
gone and those who are fit and willing to go, but will not do so, and
throw away the work of a lifetime.

“Take the sporting games and their supporters. How can men
take part in such play when the gallant lads, who have given their all,
are dying by thousands that the land they love may continue to float
the flag of freedom? It is not fair, and it is not right.

“Prospects for a reasonable cut of logs for the coming season are
poor, and if the Government does not take hold of the work at once
it will be too late to save the day.” ‘

The Lumber Dealer and the Substitute

A subscriber of the Canada Lumberman, after reading an article
which we recently published, dealing with the question of substitutes
for lumber, reports to us that there is much truth in the points made
in this article. “We are so built upon our past,’ he says, “that we
sit quiet and let the substitute fellow have his own way. Pushing the
goods is what does it. Why a man will neglect our goods, which
have been giving him good satisfaction, and use substitutes is hard
to say, but nowadays the barn is covered entirely with steel or with
stove pipe, and with coal tar and rags for roofing, instead of the
wooden shingle that has given splendid satisfaction. Lately I have
been asking myself why the farmers are not building now, when
material is at a reasonable price, and | have been told that the answer
is that they are panicky on account of the war. But they are not
panicky when it comes to a question of buying automobiles. l'armers
in motor cars are coming into town by the score; and, while a new
barn or fence or other improvement would look in place, they are not
attending to them. Jt seems to me that the lumberman will simply
have to act as the allies have until lately—that is to say, “hang on
and hope for better things.”

Prairie Crop Prospects Encouraging

Mr. Geo. J. Bury, first vice-president of the C. P. R., in a recent
interview, said:—“Il have been putting together reports from our
officials, our numerous agents, and several hundred farmer corres-
pondents; | have talked with farmers, business men, and others
throughout the West, and I can come to only one conclusion; the
crop prospects at the present time are of the best. It is too early
for a prediction as to the expected yield. One thing, however, | will
say, comparing last year with this year, the crop prospects are better
than at this time last year. True, there is not so much acreage sown
to wheat, and it is almost impossible to get the acreage accurately,
the estimates of decrease varying from six per cent. to twenty per
cent. But even with a decrease of an average between six per cent.
and twenty per cent., conditions generally are more healthy in the
West than they were one year ago. Apparently more land is being
broken and summer fallowed. Couple with that the same old opti-
mistic spirit that made the West what it is, and one finds a combina-
tion that is quickly dissolving the depression that existed. The only
thing we need now, is more people on the land, and | predict with a
good crop this year, we will see a great influx of farmers from the
south. After the war, the eyes of the people of the countriés now
torn by conflict will turn toward this country, and we will then see

immigrants coming in great numbers.”

30 “CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

John Hendry Passes Away

Mr. John Hendry, one of the best Known lumbermen in British
Columbia, died at his home at Vancouver on July 17th. The late
Mr. Hendry had been failing in health for some time and his death
was not unexpected. He had been living in British Columbia for
44 years and had large interests in timber and mining in many parts
of the province. He was one of the outstanding members of the
industry and one of the active forces in bringing about the great
advances that the industry has made of late years. Mr. Hendry was
a director of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association.

‘the late Mr. Hendry was a man of large interests in timber and
mining throughout British Columbia. He was born in New Bruns-
wick, in the district of Belle Dune, County Gloucester, on January 20,
1843, his father having come from Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1840, and
established large flour and lumber mills at Belle Dune. In the sum-
mer of 1872 John Hendry went to British Columbia, but subsequently
settled in Washington Territory, where ‘he remained until 1873. In
the latter year he returned to British Columbia and entered the
employ of the Puget Sound sawmill. About 1875 he went to the Red
River country, but only remained a short time. Returning subse-
quently to British Columbia, he gradually increased his business inter-
ests until, at the time of his death, or previously, he occupied the
following positions: President of the British Columbia Mills Timber
and Trading Company, president of the Vancouver, Westminster and
Yukon Railway Company, president Nicola Valley Coal and Coke
Company, president British Columbia Lumber and Shingle Manutfac-
turers, Limited, director Western Canada Power Company, chairman
Burrard, Westminster and Boundary Railway and Navigation Com-
pany, vice-president Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, Canadian
Forestry Association, Commissioner of Conservation of Canada, and
president of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association. ,

Sudden Death of R. M. Bertram

Robert M. Bertram, 134 Spadina Road, Toronto, died suddenly
of heart failure at Collins Inlet on July 17th. Mr. Bertram was well
known among the lumber trade of Ontario, having been vice-president
of the Collins Inlet Lumber Company, of Collins Inlet, Ont., with
head office at Toronto. The late Mr. Bertram was apparently in
good health and had gone north for a summer holiday. He is sur-
vived by his wife and three small children.

Newfounndland’s Timber Resources

Sir Daniel Morris, in an address before, the Royal Society of Art
at London, England, recently spoke at considerable length of the tim-
bered areas of Newfoundland. These were generally found, he said,
in the valleys of the larger rivers and on the banks of the lakes and
ponds. In many cases they were confined to strips from one to two
miles wide. There were about six and a half million acres of wooded
lands in the colony. All the known timbered areas in Newfoundland,
except those lying within the three-mile limit of the shore reserved
by the Governmerit, were held under license by private parties or by
companies. The conditions under which these licenses were issued
gave the holder the right to cut timber for a term of ninety-nine years
on payment of an annual rental of two dollars per square mile. In
addition there was a royalty of fifty cents per M feet B.B., payable on
all timber cut on the area, except such as was manufactured into pulp
or paper. In the production of sawn or manufactured lumber there
were a dozen large mills in Newfoundland, and ten times as many
small ones, producing cooperage stock, barrels, shingles, and laths.
{In 1906-7 the value of the exports of sawn lumber reached a total of
£65,000; but this had since fallen off, due, it was thought, to increas-
ing local requirements. Water power was abundant, and leases were
granted by government for terms of years of the right to use the
waters of any river for driving machinery, on payment of a rent and
subject to a fine of £100 for each offence of introducing sawdust or
other injurious matter into the water.

The spruce lumber was of exceptional quality. It was used
locally for general building purposes and for ship and boat building,
and in the case of the smaller logs it provided a very superior material
for manufacture into paper pulp. A very small proportion of the birch
timber was utilized, the principal uses being the construction of the
under-water parts of the hulls of cruisers and for wharf piles, as the
wood was found to last better than most others under such conditions.
It was used for various other purposes, among others that of the
manufacture of furniture.

The smaller timber of Newfoundland was chiefly used for the
manufacture of paper pulp, but since the outbreak of the war there
had been a considerable export of pitprops to Great Britain. An
enquiry had been made by experts into the cost of supplying pitprops
to this market, and one of these experts had expressed the opinion
that the cost need not exceed that of pitprops from the Baltic.

Sir Daniel gave a long list of the forest trees which grew in New-
foundland. Besides the black spruce and the birch already spoken of,
he mentioned among others white pine, balsam fir, tamarac, sugar

maple, black ash, and American elm. Several of these produced yal
able woods, useful for a variety of purposes. Forest fires were th
cause of a loss to the colony estimated at from £1 (000,000 »

£2,000,000 annually ; they were very largely due to sparks from r
way engines. Once an area was cleared, reafforestration took fr fr
thirty to fifty years.

Western Trade Improving

Reports received from British Columbia and prairie proy
points indicate that the lumber trade is showing encouraging imp
ment. This is to a considerable extent the result of the prosperi
the prairie province farmers. On account of the large crops h
last year the farmers are today enjoying good credit with the
and are commencing to spend money to a considerable extent
buildings of various kinds. The good crops that are now
assured for the present year are adding their influence to
ment. The effect upon the lumber situation is outline

Booth Papermakers Get Wage Increase
J. R. Booth has granted a 6 per cent. increase in the wa

A Practical Belt Chart

; chart will be found handy for solving belt problems for
every ordinary condition. You can work it out by just laying
yhtedge across from point to point, and the job is done.
example: What horsepower will a 1.5-inch belt pull when
at 5,000 feet per minute? Find 1.5 in column A. Find 5,000
mn H. Connect the two with a straight line. This straight line
lumn B between 5 and 6. Find the corresponding point in col-
(i.e., between 5 and 6). Lay the straight edge across as indi-
the dotted line. The points of intersection with columns C,
F give the horsepower that one, two, three, and four-ply
transmit.
y belt would, therefore, transmit a little over 9 horsepower.
ply belt would transmit 15 horsepower.
ply belt would transmit about 19 horsepower.
belt would transmit 25 horsepower.
se, the chart can be used “backwards” just as easily. If it
transmit 100 horsepower, for instance, with a 3-ply belt,
vill easily discover how the process is reversed. Let us

( : CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER o

The feeding mechanism must be in perfect adjustment if it is ex-
pected that the stock will travel through the machine. The operator
should see that his drums are not too high nor his idle rolls too low.
Indeed, neglect to take this precaution has often resulted in a ruined
drum covering, in addition to spoiled paper. It is by far the safest
plan to raise the drums to the desired cut and lower the idle rolls to
the desired pressure while the first piece is passing through the mach-
ine. Pressure rolls that are down too heavily will cause hollow places.

One of the-most common causes of scratchy stock is that of not
having the front drum low enough, so that it cuts too heavily, while
the back drum is not raised enough. However, all the drums may be
too low and the pressure rolls too heavy, so that as stock slides along
over the bars, grains of sand get in between stock and bars and cause
scratches.

If waves appear, look to lost motion in the oscillators for the
trouble. Vibration while oscillators are in the centre of their stroke,
causes a slight depression, which disappears at the end of every stroke,
resulting in close-set, regular waves. When stock or paper is burned
and the feed is jerky, the rolls may be too high or the drums too
low, so that the pressure soon wears out the paper and burns the
stock, The same thing happens when rolls are slipping because of
oil having been spattered over them, as a result of oiling up while in
motion.

An irregular line left standing above the stock is usually the
result of a defect or depression in the sandpaper, which is not cut-
ting at that point. The oscillating motion of the drum causes the line
to “snake” lengthwise over the stock. A nail or foreign substance in
the wood will cause the same mark, by tearing out a streak of grit

2 inthe paper. “The only way to correct this is to re-cover the drum.

If drums are run too slowly, sandpaper will wear more quickly
and will not cut as fast and smooth as when running at their proper
speed. Here is where the manufacturer of sandpaper frequently comes

- in for unjust criticism of his brand of paper, whereas, if the truth were

known the fault would often be found in the slow speed of the mach-
ine. Remember this: To perform its work most satisfactorily the
mechanism of the sander must be driven at a specific rate of speed,
We already explained what will happen if driven too slow. If, on the
other hand, the machine is driven too fast, the paper will glaze over
and burn the stock. :

Another thing worthy of some consideration is the proper care of
sandpaper before being used. It is all too common in many plants
to see rolls of sandpaper hung in some damp corner of the shop until

. used. We know, or should know, what dampness will do to sand-

paper. The paper must be thoroughly dry so that the sand will not
come loose from the warmth and strain of service. One will find some
who will favor putting paper into a hot box before using. An objec-
tion to this is that the paper will become too dry if left in the hot
box for an unreasonable length of time. Sandpaper too dry will cause
trouble for the reason that it has a tendency to break and fly, for the
sand will not hold as well as it would if there were enough moisture
to relieve it of its harsh dryness.

The care of felt is something that receives too little attention,
for proper attention will give surprisingly large returns, not alone in
the saving of garnet paper, but in the quality of finish turned out. The
felt should be brushed with a good quality bristle brush each time the
papers are changed.

In sanding birch, oak, elm or any other hardwood with a drum
sander, much depends upon the condition of the lumber as it comes
to the machine. If the lumber is thoroughly dried and smoothly and
evenly planed so that it does not require much stock to be removed
in the polishing of the same on the sander, a much finer grade of
paper can be used throughout the machine and a better finish obtained.

Most manufacturers test glues, varnishes, oils, coal, etc., when
purchasing these for their plants. Why not test the sandpaper?
Indeed this is possible. Experiments will not only show wearing
quality, but one can determine what paper will be the cheapest to use,
i.e., quality and price considered. Records should be kept of these

The sander needs a certain amount of lubrication. So much can
be said about proper lubrication that we have neither the time nor
the space to properly deal with the subject in this article. Graphite
and graphite greases are excellent lubricants. In fact any lubricant
that has body and can be spread out comparatively thin will do
the trick. Be careful when oiling the sander not to smear up a lot
of stock, possibly on trucks near the machine about to be, or already
sanded.

Last, but by no means least, inspect the sander frequently and
see that it is leveled up properly and see that it is firmly anchored to
the floor. We know only too well that vibration is the natural enemy
of all machinery, especially machinery possessing fast revolving parts.
So do not place the machine on a shaky floor. If it is absolutely
necessary to do this then at least support the floor with timbers di-
rectly beneath, which may help some.—Yates Quality,

Pacific Coast Structural Timbers

Their Strength and Suitability for Mill Construction Des-
cribed in Detail in Hand Book by O. P. M Goss

The West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, 1016 White Building,
Seattle, Wash., have published an excellent “Structural Timber Hand
Book on Pacific Coast Woods,” written and compiled by O. P. M.
Goss, Assoc. M. Am. Soc. C. E., Consulting Engineer for the Associa-
tion. The purpose of the book, which is carried out in a most_com-
mendable manner, is to present information relative to structural tim-
ber which will be useful to engineers, architects, and contractors.
Particular attention has been given to Pacific Coast species. In addi-
tion to a large amount of valuable, descriptive and explanatory mat-
ter, the book contains all available and practical statistical informa-
tion regarding the strengths and other important characteristics of
Pacific Coast woods. It will be of value to all who are interested in
the matters with which it deals.

While it will be impossible to give anything in the way of a
summary or even a description of the book, which is a very detailed
compilation of facts and figures, we are glad to have an opportunity
of reproducing part of what it has to say in regard to the construction
of mill buildings. “In recent years,” the hand book says, “improve-
ments have been made, in the construction of mill buildings. These
improvements have been of such a nature as to reduce maintenance
cost, fire risk, and insurance rates, and to insure a longer life for
the structure. This discussion will be confined largely to that type
of building known as the timber-brick mill building.

“There are a number of significant details which should be con-
sidered in the design of every modern mill building. The addition
of these: details is inexpensive, and the accruing benefits far out-
weigh the added cost. Some of the most significant features which
should receive consideration in the design of the highest class of mill
. building, are as follows :—

1. All exterior windows should be fitted with wired glass in metal
frames; :

2. As many subdivisions in the building as are practicable should
be provided, both horizontally and vertically ;

3. Protect timber details where necessary with a brush applica-
tion of coal-tar creosote, or other suitable preservative ;

4. Install an automatic sprinkler system as a fire protection ;

5. Use only large timber joists, girders and posts.

6. Use wide spacing of joists, and thick tongued and grooved or
laminated floors ;

7. Laminated floor timbers should be thoroughly kiln dried he-
fore being placed in the building, to prevent dry rot;

8. Provide stairway and elevator enclosures. Bak

“The cost, durability, and insurance rates on a building and con-
tents are factors which concern the builder who must finance the build-
ing. He will naturally endeavor to get a building low in first cost,
and also low in insurance and maintenance cost. In other words, he
will or should strive to get the greatest possible returns for each dol-
lar spent. .The following discussion bears on the above factors, and
presents information which is of vital interest to the builder.

Durability

“The durability of a mill building may be greatly increased by a
few simple operations. The decay of wood, which is hastened by the
presence of damp air and poor ventilation, starts most readily on the
end grain of timbers such as girders and columns. ‘This fact should
be recognized and methods of construction so modified as to prevent
conditions favorable to decay. Dry lumber should be used wherever
possible and in the construction of laminated floors all lumber should
be thoroughly kiln dried before being placed in the structure.

“Girders or joists which rest in masonry walls should not be
sealed in. An airspace of at least two inches should be provided all
around the end to allow proper ventilation. Two brush applications
of hot coal-tar, creosote or other suitable preservative will assist ma-
terially in preventing decay. Ends of girders or joists should rest
on cast iron plates or joist hangers, and the bearing surface should be
protected by a piece of creosote-saturated felt or asbestos.

“Columns, when resting on concrete or brick piers, should have
ends thoroughly painted with two coats of hot coal-tar creosote, and a
piece of thin creosote-saturated board should be placed between col-
umn and pier. A metal plate between the pier and column end is
also desirable. Creosote applied to the ends of columns between floors
will also assist in preventing dry rot. uk:

“The above details are particularly necessary in buildings which
are unheated, and are desirable in all buildings. The ends of large
girders and joists should never be encased in such a way as to pre-
vent seasoning through the end surface. Seasoning takes place more
rapidly through the end grain than from any other surface, and sea-
soned timber is safe from dry rot just as long as it is kept dry.

“The limited use of coal-tar creosote as above described should
not increase fire hazard. There are, of course, other preservatives

‘pine logs.

He (a

such as zinc chloride and corrosive sublimate which could not p
increase fire dangers. These preservatives are likely to be less ef
tive, however, than coal-tar creosote, and corrosive sublimate is
deadly poison. : “i

Cost

“The cost of mill buildings has been well established, and dia
grams included in the hand book enable one to estimate quick
costs on varying sizes and heights of timber—brick mill bui
with floor loads up to 75 lbs. per square foot. The diagra
based on the following unit values given by Chas. T. Main, ]
Soc. M. E., in the Engineering News of January 27, 1910, for tl
ous materials used :— AS

“The cost of brick walls is based on 22 bricks per cu
costing $18 per thousand, laid. Openings are estimated at
per sq. ft., including windows, doors and sills.

“Ordinary mill floors, including timbers, planking and tog
with Southern pine timber at $40 per M. ft. B. M., and spruce ple
at $30 per M., costs about 32 cents per square foot, which ha
used as a unit price. Ordinary mill roofs covered with tar and
with lumber at the above prices, cost about 25 cents per squ are
and this has been usedin the estimates. Add for stairways, ele
wells, plumbing, partitions and special work. “ne

“Other detailed and very complete information is given
special conditions which will result in variations in the

“In conclusion, the section of the hand book dealing
subject says:—‘‘The modern timber-brick mill building is a
mately 25 per cent. lower in first cost than a fire-resistin
and is given almost the same advantage in insurance rates. —
out the Pacific Coast territory where timber is inexpensive, a
ful, the difference in cost between these types of buildings

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 33

how it is that a Jew merchant goes ahead of the average Gentile in
business. There are several reasons that are not necessary to mention,
but one reason is that he is always at his place of business early and
late to sell service and gather in the shekels that other merchants miss
through being. too independent. Indeed, his willingness to do this
causes adverse criticism of him by his fellow-business men. I have
never known a retail lumberman who was a Jew. There is something
about the business that don’t seem to suit them. It’s well, perhaps,
for the comfort of our present retailers that they don’t’ like it, for if
they sat in the game lumber yards would be open seven days in the
week and no limit to working hours week days.

Now, understand, I am not in favor of stretching the day’s work
any more than is necessary, but it is not good policy for country deal-
ers to be too particular about closing time at certain times of the year
or at any other time when service can be given by keeping open, other-
wise than on Sunday, of course. | have even sold coal on a Sunday in
cases where it was absolutely needed, and didn’t think, either, that I
was cracking the Mosaic commandment against Sunday work.

Should Keep an Assortment.

The use of wood is so universal for our requirements; there are so
many things it is used for other than in building, and the lumber yard
in a country town is practically the only place where it is sold. There-
fore, a recognition of this should be had by the lumberman in keeping
an assortment of such stock as will meet the needs of all kinds of
repairs for things made of wood. It is a standing advertisement—and
a good one—to have it generally known that you can get anything
you want at a certain yard. In the later years of my experience in a

* country’town I tried to do this, and I thought a good deal of knowing

that it was said: “If you can t find it anywhere else go to ‘Kit’s’ yard
and he’ll fix you out.” There were times when I had j in stock more or
less of about every commercial wood that was then in use. I won’t
say there was much profit in it, but I am so constituted that I hate
like the dickens to have anyone come to the yard for something and
not find it. So I studied the kinds of implements the farmers were
using, the sizes of the pieces in their construction, and I kept these
sizes, as well as I could, in ash, oak, and hickory, together with inch
and half-inch poplar. At one place where I was I carried a full assort-
ment of wagon, buggy, and implement stock. This was bought in
quantities direct from the manufacturers, so that I could sell the local
wagon maker cheaper than he could get it from the jobber and pay
local freight besides.

Oftentimes it happens that a machine breaks down when a farmer
is cutting his grain or threshing, and if there is not the right kind of
wood at the lumber yard to repair it some time is lost before it can be
gotten. Many a time I have supplied just such a need that otherwise
they would have had to wait for till it was obtained from a jobbing
centre. Aside from such cases as these, implements and machinery
on the farm are continually breaking or getting out of repair, and
there is a corresponding need for the suitable materials. And where a
farmer knows he can go to the lumber yard and get what he wants of
it he is pleased, too, that he doesn’t have to run around hunting for it.
And if he is not a regular customer, the chances are he will continue
to trade there. Some dealers don’t like the carrying of this class of
stock because customers demand that it be cut off at a length to suit
them which is likely to leave a short end that nobody else will want.
There was a time when I objected to this, too. But, before a great
while, I found that I could comply with such requests and still not
lose anything by it. I sold it by the lineal foot at a price that would
cover the waste of a foot or two off the end of a piece. I adopted this
method of selling all my hardwood excepting common plank for bridge
purposes. It’s mostly a matter of making up your mind to get in this
class of stock for cutting up purposes. If you quote the price per lineal
foot to a customer he may ask how much you will take for the whole
piece. In that case a discount will likely influence him to take it
without cutting. This is the way I sold all cut-off stuff of any kind of
lumber. Sometimes it stretches the good nature of a dealer to be asked
to cut off a piece from an extra wide select, but by charging enough
for it there will be no loss in the long run. Of course, if you have
any clear plank over twenty inches wide, the scarcity of such widths
in white pine makes them more valuable for counter tops or sign
boards. I usually laid such pieces away out of sight. In other woods.
however, you can get all such wide widths you want and have some
for cutting to suit the customer.

Must Accommodate the People.

The main thing of all this is the idea of accommodating people
with what they want and have it generally understood that it may be
obtained at your yard, and that you are competent and willing to help
them select what is best for their purpose. A lot of boys used to
come to my yard here for pieces to make stilts with, and for many
other things boys think they can make. While it was considerable
bother sometimes to get at what they wanted and wait on them, still
it was a satisfaction to have the children come to me for such assist-
ance. The manual training class of a nearby school used to come and
ask me all sorts of questions about lumber and of the different kinds
of wood. Sometimes the teacher would send a note by one of the

“aoe vis ~ em > a U . : e
Airs | 7 — Peep Paige a” Vee _ ce ion! =

pupils asking for information not in the text-books. I know, of
course, that manual training is not common in the country town
schools, but the lumber dealer can, if he will, do something to
develop the building instinct and mechanical faculties of the boys of
his locality. Boys like to make something, to tinker round and fix
things. Some develop this tendency at an earlier age than others.
Some time ago I visited the mantial training department of one of our
schools and I was astonished to see the things made by boys whose
ages ranged from ten to fourteen years. It was fine, too, to see the
zeal and enthusiasm they put into their work. I thought at the time
what an opportunity a country town lumber dealer had to educate
the boys in his town to use lumber and teach them the many interest-
ing things about the different woods in his yard. It would be a good
idea for him every now and then to give an informal talk to the stu-
dents of the high school class. Not only the boys, but the girls, too,
would be greatly interested in an informing talk of this kind. Get
the boys to making bird houses, sleds, little wagons, doll houses for
their sisters, little things useful for their mothers, and any other
little things that suit their fancy.

But, of course, the larger number of country town boys have no
money to spend to buy lumber, and many parents cannot afford to
get it for them; therefore, you may think of this idea as being
impractical. Now, if you are a believer in advertising and practice
what you believe in this regard, would it not be well to divert from
the sum you set for this expense an amount representing the cost of,
say, a thousand feet of common boards to give away to the boys for
this purpose, letting them have it, of course, under such restrictions
as you deem wise, such as requiring them to show what they have
made with it. This lumber you furnish need not be of the regular
lengths. You can obtain a lot of “shorts” from the mill that will
answer the purpose and do as well as longer stuff and at less cost. If
you give the boys the material there is no question but that the
parents will furnish them with the tools to work it and other furnish-
ings needed also. I would also include the country small boy as well
in the proposition.
and help keep up the interest. Then, again, on this line you could
set a day for having the boys bring in what they had made, have a
public display of the assembled exhibits in some vacant storeroom
in town and invite the public to come and inspect what the little folks
had made of their own designing and handicraft. If you advertise
this public display in the local paper, and have it some Saturday, I'll
warrant you will be astonished at the large number of people who will
come to view it. It will beat any movie show in town that day, for
no matter how crude the design and workmanship of any of the little

articles shown they will touch the feeling and elicit the interest of ~

every father and mother who comes to see it. At the close of school
here last month the rooms of the manual training department were
crowded all day with the parents of these pupils and others of the
community interested in school work.

It may seem a whole lot of bother for a business man to under-
take just to minister to the pleasure of a lot of other people’s children,
and on the face of it no possible financial returns for the outlay.
“What’s the good of it all to me?” is the natural question | know
that will be asked by those who are content to keep along in the rut
of the usual and ordinary. I” ll tell you the reason why I have thought
this plan out and given it here as I have.

- One of the problems of the retail lumbermen to-day is advertis-
ing, and the appreciation of the need for it is spreading among the
country dealers. But the great drawback to their doing it is they
don’t know how to do it in a way that will bring the returns they
expect from their efforts. They are conscious that they don’t know
how to write ads for themselves, and this acts as a deterrent against
their trying it; therefore, they muddle along and get business in the
usual way they were brought up to do. Now, I believe the scheme I
have suggested is one that any dealer of ordinary intelligence and
gumption can carry out and make a success of. There is no possible
question about its attracting attention and arousing the interest of
the community, for it is one of the fundamental facts of the social
fabric that the main interests of people are wrapped up in their chil-
dren, and whatever attracts the children is sure to interest their
parents, especially if it is something that will give the children plea-
surable occupation and benefit.

It is self-evident, also, that the friendship of every man, woman,
and child in the community is something to be greatly desired, and
when secured by the lumber dealer or any business man is a valuable
asset and assistance in the growth of his business. The more you
can get people to talk about you in a friendly and praising way the
greater the attraction your yard will have for them when they want
to buy anything you’ve got to sell. Business secured in this way is
of the most enduring kind because it is actuated by the personal good-
will of the buyer. When you do an act that is a social benefit you
advertise yourself, and when people think of building materials they
think of you. So, then, if you can’t write advertisements for the
paper do something that arouses the interest of the children and you
will attract the attention of the parents,—C. H. Ketridge, in the Mis-
sissippi Valley Lumberman.

The Danger Spots in Connection With Sales and Deli’ resi
. —How They Can Be Avoided “iG

A claim, in its final analysis, is the result of a mistake or misu

determine definitely at what points claims develop, and their ca:

A careful study of the matter brings forth the fact that
the causes of all claims develop at three given points :—

First—In taking the order from the customer by the salesme

Second—Execution of the order by the mill. “

Third—Inspection and tallying of stock on receipt of car by
customer. -

In order to treat this broad subject in a logical manne le

solicits and accepts the order from the customer. .

Experience teaches us that the usual causes of claims at tk
point, or at the time of taking the order by the salesman, can be
fied as follows :— ae

Making errors in the description or in the price of lum
transmitting the order to the mill, and by not having all data pe
ing to the order written into the order rather than in an acco
letter. ; : ;

Inserting wrong routing or incorrect rates in the o
mitted to the mill. ao

Making special agreements with the customer rega
and not sending sufficient information to the mill covering

Miscellaneous Items of Interest to Lumbermen

: Mr. Henning Helin, technical manager of the Wayagamack Pulp
& Paper Company, has been elected a director of the company.

Canada’s exports of forest products during the twelve months
ending April for the past four years were valued as follows :—1916,
$51,629,899; 1915, $42,705,384; 1914, $42,797,161; 1913, $43,646,733.

__ Readers may be surprised to learn that there are manufacturers
still using flint and who do not seem to want to consider garnet.
Agreed that flint is sharper at first, but is it not a fact that being
less hard it soon wears dull?

_An interesting order of which were were advised recently while
calling upon a Toronto wholesale firm is one they received for red
pine deals for India. The stock was 4-inch, 3-inch, and 2-inch
unsorted, and amounted to 100,000 feet.

_ The timber returns for the month of May, issued by the B. C.
Minister of Lands, show that the total scale of sawlogs for the pro-
vince amounted to 94,771,871 ft. b.m., in addition to 335,573 lin. feet of
piles and poles, and 20,388 cords of ties, shingle bolts, etc.

A .New York cable report states that the International Paper
Company has plans made for a 200 ton newspaper mill to be erected
in Canada. It is officially stated that this mill will produce news-
print, round wood pulp and a surplus production of sulphite pulp.

- Reports received by Inspector Geo. D. McKay, state that a num-
ber of the larger B. C. Coast logging operators are closing down their
operations for about four weeks during the last two weeks of July
and the first two weeks in August, in order to prevent a glut of logs.

In a letter received recently from A. I. Beaton, Lieut.-Colonel,
Assistant Engineer-in-Chief of the South African Railways, he says :-—

“We are going to experiment with some of your timber for
sleepers—“‘Douglas fir. If they prove satisfactory there should be a
great market here for them.” ‘

A report received at Ottawa from Trade Commissioner Sontum,
of Christiania, Norway, says that the export of woodpulp by Sweden
to Great Britain may again be allowed. While Norwegian prices for
bleached sulphite for export are $186.67 ; easy bleach, $160 to $173.33;
strong, $146.67 to $160, and kraft soda, $133.33 per long ton, net cash
to makers, f.o.b. Norwegian ports, in Sweden prices keep about $65.67
lower.

Crown Timber Agent E. W. Beckett reports from New West-
minster that the small mills in the Fraser Valley are exceptionally
active this season and that the lumber business is showing greater
signs of prosperity than at any time during the past three years.
Many shingle mills also are springing up at points where merchant-
able cedar is available in. Canada, and are buying stocks extensively
from farmers.

Market for Building Timber in

Holland has more

tion of builders the situation is
serious. Timber is now imported
from Germany, Sweden, and Nor-
way. The quantity obtainable is
small, and most of it is of inferior
quality. Continued supplies from
Germany can not be relied upon,
the association believes, as the
German Government has need of
the surplus timber and will pay
a higher price than this country
has paid.

The building association gives
warning that unless relief mea-
sures are taken the supply of
wood most needed for construc-
tion work will be exhausted with-
in a few months and great stag-
nation and unemployment in the
building trades may be expected.

Already several woodworking
factories have ceased operations.
This situation suggests that

American manufacturers and ex-
porters of building materials
might profitably give tenewed and
special attention to the Dutch
market, with a view to both the
present and the future.—vU. S.
Commerce Reports.

Cost of Waste Disposal

A great deal has been said con-
cerning the quantity: of wood
wasted in milling operations, in
the form of sawdust, edgings,
blocks, and scraps of various
kinds, and the public is fairly
familiar with this subject; but in-
vestigations have now been made
which claim to show what it costs
to dispose of this waste. It is as-
serted that every thousand feet of
lumber sawed in the United
States is called upon to pay from
eleven to twenty-two cents to
meet the cost of getting rid of
waste material. The average fig-
ures show a cost of seventeen
cents per thousand feet, but in
some mills it runs as high as
twenty-two cents and in others
as low as eleven. The yearly to-
tal is about $6,000,000 for the
whole United States.

These figures are furnished by
the Forest Products Laboratory
at Madison, Wis., and it appears
that this investigation was the
first ever conducted in a thorough
manner to determine what it
costs to burn the refuse matter at
sawmills.

Review of Current Trade Conditions

Ontario.

Probably the most important feature in connection with the lum-
ber trade of Ontario at present is the fact that the manufacturers in
the northern sections of the province are up against the wall in regard
to the labor problem. From all parts of the province the same story
comes, namely, that the manufacturers cannot find a sufficient num-
ber of men to enable them to load their cars, and at the same time keep
their mills running. Each day that passes the situation is becoming
more critical, and it has already resulted in a considerable reduction
in output. Unless some relief, which at present cannot be figured
upon, is experienced an extensive curtailment is probable. The effect
of this upon the retail trade is rather difficult to anticipate. Every-
thing naturally depénds upon the demand experienced by the retailer.
Even with a moderate amount of trade, however, it seems to-day that
the reasonable course for the retailer to pursue is to anticipate the
requirements of his trade and place orders in advance, as a scarcity of
stocks at mill points and a scarcity of labor for loading cars will make
it unusually difficult to get stocks in the fall if there is an improve-
ment in trade, or even if trade goes along on a quiet basis.

So far as the actual volume of trade is concerned to-day, most of
it is concerned with the shell box business. The demand for white
pine continues strong. Red pine production this year is likely to show
a decline of quite 30 per cent., as compared with last year. The trade
in spruce is fair, and the price advances which took place early in the
spring are steadily maintained.

The demand for British Columbia shingles is active, and prices
continue firm at $2.40 for XX, $3.35 for XXX, and $3.70 for
XXXXX. The demand for XXXXX is improving gradually, the trade
having taken kindly to the decision of the manufacturers not to make
any more XXXX.

The large war orders that were given out recently for shell boxes
have resulted in a good demand for the lower ends of hardwoods. It
looks as though stocks of low ends will be practically off the market
before long. The consumption has already almost wiped out dry
stocks, and will soon be right on top of the new cut in the lower
grades. In the upper ends there is the usual midsummer lull. —Out-
side of the shell box business the trade is quiet, with the exception of
basswood, stocks of which are scarce. The moulding trade is using
up large quantities of basswood. Those who have been enquiring
into the available stock of basswood report that a shortage already
exists. The major portion of the trade are only now waking up to
this fact.

Eastern Canada

Advices from St. John, N. B., state that the export trade to Great
Britain has practically come to a standstill for the time being, as Eng-
lish buyers have stopped making purchases of deals for future de-
livery. No prices seem to interest them at present and they are ap-
parently waiting until the freight situation clears up. It 1s reported
that stocks of deals in Great Britain are heavy and that the demand is
light. At St. John, the stocks of deals are fairly extensive and are in-
creasing, as a result of the lack of forward business. The local trade
is also very quiet, building operations being almost nil. Prices for
low grade stocks are easier and stocks of refuse are extensive at all
north shore points. Laths continue unsteady and shingles show no
change. The American market is also unsteady, but is expected to
improve as a result of the passing of the Mexican war cloud.

The hardwood market at Boston continues steady. The demand
for eastern spruce has improved a little during the past fortnight and
quotations are stiffer, but there has not yet been any actual advance
in the base quotation on frames. Retailers apparently have come to
the conclusion that they need not look for any further decline and are
placing orders. An advance in spruce quotations to $26 is expected
in some quarters. Curtailment of production has been successful in
assisting the market. There is an improved call for random and the
tendency is upward; the range is as follows: 2 x 3 inches, $20.50 to $21 ;
2 x 4 inches, $21 to $21.50; 2 x 5 and 2 x 6 inches, $20.50 to $21; 2 x 8
inches, $23.50 to $24; 2 x 10 inches, $25.50 to $26.50; 2 x 12 inches,
$26.50 to $27.50.

The hemlock market at Boston is not as firm as it was a month
ago, having been adversely affected by the weakening of the southern
yellow pine and North Carolina pine markets. The full range of
quotations on eastern hemlock boards, stock lengths of 10, 12, 14
and 16 ft. clipped, is still $21 to $22. There is a fair demand for
shingles at Boston and the outlook for trade during the balance of
the present season is good. Sales of good brands of white cedar ex-
tras are reported lately at $3.55, and few good makes, if any, can now

‘
-

leg

be had at less than $2.50. Clears are bringing from $3.10 for |
ones, up to $3.30 for the best. Most of the current business is ¢
basis of about $3.20. There is a fair trade in red cedar shir
about $3.85. The lath market is quiet, many retail yards appearit
be well stocked.
United States ih
Reports received from many lumber producing sections 0
United States indicates that the railroad companies are again ¢
into the market and placing heavy requirements. They are sj
active in their demand for ties, ordering more than they have ft
months past. It is also reported that the French Government
the market for six million yellow pine ties. A heavy ¢
movement has been inaugurated throughout the south,
output by more than 25 per cent. Heavy storms and
gulf coast and south Atlantic districts have also inc
tailment. Prices in general have not come back to th
of a few months ago when the decline started, but
downward tendency has been checked and the move i
other direction. The strike of longshoremen and dock wo

tive of the fact that they are highly paid for unskilled labor

Northern pine mills report a good demand and that pract
stocks in shipping condition are moving out. Northern het
hardwoods are in a similar situation. At Chicago, the no
trade shows no change. The demand is only fair, being best
lower grades for box manufacturing purposes. There is a moc
business in Norway and spruce. At Buffalo, the demand for
pine is smaller than it was a few weeks ago, largely on ac
the holiday season. The best demand is for the lower grad
prices are holding firm. The demand for northern pine at North T
wanda is less active. Some of the docks are piled with stock whic
has been impossible to move on account of unsatisfactory labor c
ditions. Some dealers are considering the advisability of bri
negro labor. There is not much change in-the hemlock situa
at Chicago. The best demand is for merchantable and No. 1 st
It is expected that the improved crop situation will stimt
demand for hemlock from country yards. At North Tonawanda
hemlock market is not so strong as it was earlier in the season. F
are unchanged. The hemlock market at Buffalo continues firm, es
ally for the better class of stock. : 5 2 Zaslin

Hardwoods at Chicago continue quiet and are expected to
so during the rest of the midsummer season. The outlook is gi
an active fall trade, both in northern and southern stocks. T
a good demand for fancy woods, such as walnut and mahogany,
are moving at good prices. The leading item of northern hard
is still birch. At Buffalo, the best market in hardwoods is f
hogany. Plain and quartered oak are rather neglected and pri
easier than they were a few weeks ago. There is a fair d
for maple and ash, especially in thick-stock, and prices are
firm. There has been a general seasonable decline in trade.

Great Britain oe

_ The latest reports from Great Britain tell of a considerably iow
basis of prices, both in the c.i.f. and spot markets. The generz
ing, as a result, is that trade has reached a much safer level.
questionably there is a better tone than during the past few
Nevertheless, although values are far below what they wer
time ago, they are still high enough to permit of further
in price per standard, and this risk, although not considered
really immediate one, is always present. Apparently the w.
tion is regulating the volume of trade very closely and the pos
of important changes in the military situation is inducing the maj
of the trade to play safe and not tie themselves up. with large ce
mittments until the future appears more definite. ‘ae

Arrivals on consignment are not depressing the market in
Britain at present. Many of the vessels recently chartered on spe
lation are being diverted to other markets. C.if. prices continue
show reductions, following the course of the freight market
closely. The situation in connection with Swedish battens
interesting example. In March and April good stock of th
from the lower gulf was valued at about £30 per standard.
can now import for about £5 per standard less, and yet are not

felt at this time of year when the first arrivals of Baltic and. White
Sea stocks come upon the market.

Deliveries at London docks continue fairly good, but do not re-
present the actual quantity going into consumption. Apparently
yards are storing considerable holdings on their own premises. Con-
sumption is practically all for special purposes connected with war
work, the building trade having practically disappeared and municipal
requirements being reduced absolutely to the minimum. Stocks in
London at the end of June showed very few changes as compared
with those of a month previous. Forward buying at London is slow
and is not expected to improve until the freight situation becomes
clearer. At Foy, Morgan & Company’s latest auction sale 3rd bright

Market Correspondence

St. John Trade—No English Buying

St. John, N. B., July 21; (Special to the Canada Lumberman ) :—
During the past two weeks practically all sales and shipments from
this port have ceased. The English buyers refuse to purchase any
deals for future delivery at any price, preferring to wait until the
freight situation clears up; until such times as a stationary rate will be
established. This may occur in the near future or may be delayed
for some time. The war will regulate this question entirely. Stocks
of deals on the other side are said to be heavy with little or no busi-
ness offering. A considerable quantity of deals are held here by the
shippers, and no shipments being made causes the stocks to increase
rather than decrease. All the shippers have many millions piled in
lighters, which deals come into St. John on cars from interior mills
and are loaded from cars to s¢ows as the owners cannot afford to pay
demurrage on cars. It is said that at least ten million feet are piled
in lighters awaiting shipment, besides the stocks piled at mills on
wharves. No price can be quoted. There is none.

Locally, the market is extremely dull, very little building is being
carried on and carpenters are complaining that there is very little work
to be had. What the balance of the year has in store remains to be
seen. Prices for low grade stocks are easier. Large quantities of
refuse are held here and all along the north shore. Factory prices are
unchanged, but many times it is said of late they are shaded.

-Laths remain as unsteady as long lumber. Shingles are un-
changed as far as the local manufactured article is concerned.

The American market is very unsteady but is said to have re-
gained slightly from its slump of ten days ago. War troubles seemed
to have caused very much uneasiness with our friends below the
border, but now that the question has been set aside, a better feeling
should arise, and as hot weather changes to cooler, a stiffening of
prices should be felt. The present prices which are being offered
for American goods would not leave any profit to the shipper at St.
John whose logs, in fact, cost more than the sawn lumber would
now leave.

The slackness of the market now being felt here will no doubt
be of short duration; at least we hope so.

Logs are coming forward out of booms in goodly quantities, the
rafting operations should be finished by the middle of August, about
two-thirds of the cut of logs have now been rafted.

Improvement Noted in Montreal Trade

Montreal, July 26.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)—A
slightly better demand for local account is in evidence, and from now
until the fall this condition is likely to continue. Several lumbermen
look for a decided hardening in values later on, basing their opinion
on the view that the next cut will be considerably restricted owing to
the shortage of labor, while the advance in wages, camp supplies, ete.,
will have a material influence in increasing the cost of getting out
lumber. A large number of men hitherto available for lumbering have
joined the colors, and those who remain can command a substantial
increase in wages. Montreal companies not connected with the lum-
ber trade report that it is very difficult to secure men, owing partly
to the inducements offered by the concerns making munitions and
partly to the scarcity of foreign labor.

Some good orders for British Columbia fir for the Maritime Pro-
vinces have been placed in Montreal.

The sash and door business has picked up a little. Box makers,
too, are fairly busy. An order for 30,000 nine-pounder boxes has been
given out here, and the Imperial Munitions Board offered further and
larger orders, but at such prices that the contracts were refused.
Some firms have learned by experience that there is no money on the
basis offered by the board; and, with continual rises in the price of

ments.

Shipbuilders continue well employed with Government work, the
result being that for the half-year just ended the total launches for the
Clyde amounts to 16 vessels,: measuring 58,063 tons, as against 129
vessels of 267,677 tons for the same period in 1914. The yards, how-
ever, are all busy, and a good number of enquiries are reported for
mercantile vessels. Wagon builders have been very busy on repair
work, but no new orders of any account have been placed for rolling
stock. Any parcels of wagon oak planks arriving meet with a ready
sale at good prices. .

Quotations are: 5/6 to 6/6 per c. ft. for first-class parcels of logs, and

cation.

Birch.—The stock returned is hight, but considerable quantities

Quebec yellow pine deals, etc.—The stocks are much heavier, and
chiefly in brokers’ hands. The demand is very restricted, and shipper’s

Liverpool Trade Conditions.

Smith & Tyrer, Ltd., Liverpool, Eng., in their monthly market
report, say:

_ Hardwoods.—Prices are well maintained, and stocks are getting
low. Spruce deals have suffered a setback owing to the reticence of
the buyers. The serious fall in freights has contributed largely to the
weakness of the situation. Hemlock is difficult to move. Birch, both
logs and planks, is very slow; and, although the prohibition on planks
has been provisionally withdrawn, there is no revival of the demand.
Pine, notwithstanding light stocks, is weaker. Pacific Coast woods.—
Although more space is available, business is on the dull side.

London Market Report

Churchill & Sim’s’ wood circular, under date of London, July 5th,
Says in part:

The month’s importation to London has been about on the lines
of the 1915 totals, except that, from the White Sea, shipments were
accelerated this season owing to the number of steamers loaded over
the ice in the late winter and early spring months. In spite of a some-
what increased supply, there has been no great addition to the stocks
stored in the London docks, deals being still in small compass, while
battens and rough and prepared boards are rather more plentiful. The
demand has been none too satisfactory, and the total deliveries from
the port for the half-year show a decline of some 13,000 standards, of
which June is responsible for 3/4,000 standards. Circumstances have
combined to make importers very chary of committing themselves to
further purchases, even at the lower prices now current, the principal

factor being undoubtedly the decline in the Swedish rates of tonnage’

and the disappointing volume of enquiry for stock.

From the St. Lawrence there has been imported: Pine deals,
39,000 pieces, against 16,000 pieces in 1915; spruce, 287,000 pieces,
against 126,000 pieces in 1915; birch planks, nil, against 6,000 pieces
in 1915; and from:New Brunswick, ete.: Pine deals, 4,000 pieces,
against 3,000 pieces in 1915; spruce deals, 328,000 pieces, against
1,134,000 pieces in 1915; birch planks, 28,000 pieces, against 50,000
pieces in 1915. =f

A few pine deals have arrived, but there is little change in the
position of the stock, and prices have only been ‘slightly affected by
the general apathy of the demand. Some large quantities of red pine
were sold during the month, at values which showed some weakness,
directly traceable to the lower quotations which the decline in freights
has made possible. The supply of spruce to the London market was

they patronize or what kind of a room they have, and, in a large
majority of cases they can find good, comfortable accommodation for
much less cost to their house.

Hotel prices have certainly advanced materially in recent years,
most of them now being operated on the European plan which always
means a‘higher cost to “the traveling public, and the salesman cannot
avoid the greater expense if he would; furthermore, I believe a travel-
ing salesinan should patronize hotels where he can get comfortable
quarters and good things to eat, because if he is to make a real sales-
man of himself and become a valuable man to his employers he must
be well housed and fed, but he should always bear in mind that his
urm pays his expenses and will judge as to his real worth, at least to
some extent, by his expense account, which is materially affected by
his hotel bills.

Again, by arranging his route so he will be at the best hotel in
the larger places every night he may think he will meet more of his
fellow-salesmen, have a chance to “swap” yarns with them, have con-
hom company going to some ‘show,’ or perhaps have a little game

f “draw,” but if he indulges in that pastime to any great extent, even
Eons the money won or lost may not affect his financial condition,
it will mean irregular hours, loss of sleep, usually too much smoking,
and perhaps other disconcerting practices which will seriously inter-
fere with that mental alertness so necessary in these days of keen
competition, and therefore frequently be the cause of his failure to get
the customer’s signature “on the dotted line.”

A salesman should always be at his best, mentally and physically, -

if he is striving for and expects good results. Furthermore, he will
really find that the most successful salesmen—the ones who get the
best pay—will try to get away from all the demoralizing influences
mentioned, and will spend an hour or so about every, night writing to
the general office, giving a report on those they called on that day, as
well. as any matter of general interest that may have occurred; writ-
ing to customers they expect to visit during the next few days, calling
attention to some items of stock they know each particular customer
uses, especially if something their firm has a good supply of; sending
in what orders they secured, accompanying them with full and com-
plete information regarding any that may be a little out of the ordin-
ary and therefore require some special attention at the general office.
He will also find that these successful men don’t plan to get to the
big places every night, and, when they are there, don’t go to the swell-
est hotel in town, but to some comfortable place where they can have
every needed convenience at much less expense; nor do these success-
ful men always try to get back to their headquarters Friday night each
week, even if there is to be a good ball game Saturday.

A much mooted question among salesmen is how much should

be spent on customers by way of entertainment, cigars, etc., with the
idea of influencing them to give you more of their business. Person-

ally, | do not believe the average lumberman you call on in your
ordinary every day work expects or wants you to do very much along
this line; in fact, there has been a marked change in this respect dur-
ing the past ten or fifteen years, and I believe you will meet with
better success in the long run if you sell your goods on their merits,
backed up with the character and reputation of the firm you repre-
sent and your own personality. During the lumber convention season,
when you meet lumbermen attending the meetings of their associa-
tions, whether customers or those you would like to sell to, you are
then mingling with them on more of a.social footing, and at such
times it seems more in keeping with the fitness of things to show them
some social courtesies and attentions, to what extent and in what way

.depending on the circumstances, surroundings, and the men you want —

to entertain.

It is not necessary to be extravagant, but if you possess the
happy faculty of doing the right thing at the right time and in the
right way, you will secure a strong hold on their friendship and good-
will that will quite likely result in closer and better business. rela-
tions.

Salesmen’s Wages.

The question of “Salesmen’s Wages” is a big and a broad one,
because there are so many elements entering into a determination as
to the real worth of a salesman to his firm.

Some salesmen have the ability to get a big volume of orders,
but sometimes only at the lowest market prices, or the lowest they are
authorized to make, while others, not so strong on volume, always
get the top-notch prices; then there are others commonly classified as
“order takers” or “pedlars,” who just drift along, seemingly without
much ambition to become a real live one.

Undoubtedly the best salesman is the one who is thoroughly con-
versant with the good and bad qualities of the particular kind of lum-
ber he is selling so he can convincingly recommend it for such pur-
poses as it is best adapted for, thereby obtaining and holding the full
confidence of those he sells to and avoiding pitfalls too many encoun-
ter by recommending their material as good for all purposes; the
one who not only has a complete knowledge of the product he is sell-
ing, but who by.constant, intelligent study, research, and observation
also acquires at least a fairly good knowledge of the competing woods,
and likewise secures every bit of information and data he can about

English Market Conditions

A-report form Halifax, N. S., says:—“The English market for
Nova Scotia lumber continues low. Our deals now secure only be-
tween £20 to £22 for spruce, and as low as £17 and £18 for hem-
lock, Our lumbermen and shippers are now holding off to some ex-
tent in the hope of higher prices. Freights are still low and charters
are not as frequent as heretofore. Shipments are normal but these
are principally on charters which were made when freights were 400
shillings and not 275 to 285 shillings, as now. Whereas in the past
shippers had to take steamers at their owners’ prices, bottoms in
some cases are now offered by the owners, as the lumber people are
not anxious to charter for shipments to a falling market. A slight
rise in freights can be anticipated for the autumn.

“There is not much business in the American market for our lum-
ber. Freights are still high. Prices paid by American buyers for
spruce per 1,000 feet are $20 to $22, according to specification, and
for laths per 1,000, $3.75 to $3.85. Sawing is brisk throughout the
country. The portable mills will probably finish operations this
month, but the stationary mills will operate until the end of Septem-
ber and perhaps later. The English embargo on hardwood planks
having been lifted some shipments have been made, but the market
is not strong, according to reports.

British Government Wants Canadian Timbers
A despatch from Vancouver, B. C., states that the Government
timber office is calling for tenders for 4,000,000 feet of Douglas fir
in 12 x 12 sticks and 1,000,000 feet of 3 x 9 in. timber, to be shipped

on railréad cars and delivered at the ship’s side in Halifax. A large .

order is also open for the supply of spruce to be used for aeroplane
manufacture. Although the British Government is prepared to pay
$200 to $225 per thousand feet for the spruce, the order is said to be
larger than can be supplied from Vancouver. This spruce is to be
cut on the quarter, with the grain at an angle of 45 degrees across
the section so as to secure the maximum of strength. In its subse-
quent manufacture the spruce is made into hollow rods, each rod
consisting of two thicknesses of laminated wood, making it both
light and strong.

. Canada’s Foreign Trade in Weod Goods

The Graton & Knight Mfg. Co. plant today.

Important Additions to Graton & Knight Plant

In the fall of 1914 the Graton & Knight Manufacturing Company,
oak leather tanners and belt makers, Worcester, Mass., decided to
commence the erection of the largest addition that they have ever made
to their extensive plant. The time was rather unpromising for such
extensions, but their foresight has been amply justified by the results.
The Graton & Knight Manufacturing Company’s business has been
steady and solid from the time of its inception, 65 years ago. The
company now occupy a plant consisting of twenty buildings which
are so joined together that,-in the aggregate, they represent one en-
ormous building having over half a million square feet of floor space.

The two latest additions, known as buildings “D” and E,” are of
concrete construction, and have a total floor area of about 110,000
square feet. These buildings have made it possible for the concern to
install some improvements which they had been developing and have
also enabled them to increase their production as the business war-
rants.

The first floor of building “D,” known as the new “Beam House,”
is 225 feet long and 115 feet wide, and has enabled the concern to
double its capacity for preparing hides for the initial stages of tanning.
The arrangement throughout is designed so as to keep the hides moy-
ing in one continuous direction from the moment they are brought to
the beam house from the connecting hide cellar. The hides are thor-
oughly cleaned, soaked, the flesh and hair removed and then sent
along to the tan yard. The entire cortstruction is of concrete and
steel, concrete floors and walls, vats and pits, and everything possible
has been done to promote the convenience and comfort of the work-
men.

The three floors above the beam house are 225 feet long and
70 feet wide. The second floor is used as one of the “setting out”

rooms. From this nese the hides, after being washed, bleached, split,
oiled and smoothed, or “set out” by the latest type of machinery are
conveyed to the ati: ae room located on the floor above. The
fourth floor is used by the lace leather department and is equipped
with machinery of special construction made and designed by 1
company.

Building “E” is 225 feet long by 65 feet wide, and is four enceal
high. The first floor is used for storing hides. On the second floor is
located the electrical department and the extensive supply room. The
third floor is used as a general maintenance department with
penter, machine and pipe fitting and stock rooms, where belting stri
are sorted and matched and where an extensive stock of finished ied
ther is maintained.

The company have also put up a number of smaller ee
during the past year. A completely new heating and power plant
been erected.

The buildings, although of fireproof construction, are equipped
throughout with a sprinkler system and there are innumerable fir
doors, staircases and fire extinguishers throughout. The employee
are provided with plenty of light for their work, over 40 per cent.
the total wall area being of glass.

‘

The search for new uses of wood is widespread and far-reachin J

but the Turks have scored last. The army which they sent to Egy

to fight British and colonials at the Suez Canal was supplied, in pa
with wooden bullets. They had been painted a metallic lustre, a

the unfortunate soldiers doubtless supposed the cartridges were sta

dard. We captured large quantities of these wooden pegs which passed

for bullets when they came from the contractors’ factory. The poor

Turk gets if coming and going! :

a recent interview about trade conditions, said: “The volume

Selecting Factory Lumber
By T. C. James

To many who have made a study of machine wood-working from
the technical side, as pertaining to machine work itself, it may sound
odd for a man to come along and assert that half the battle for suc-
cess in machine wood-working depends on selecting the stock that is
to be worked; that is, on the selection and buying of lumber for fac-
tory and mill work. The buying of factory lumber is generally done
by the office end of the institution; in some plants the men that work
the lumber are never consulted about it. In others, however, they
are consulted and asked for advice about how this or that kind of
lumber will work up, or how this grade works or the other grade. If
both ends of the business work properly together, the purchasing
department will give due consideration to the welfare of the machinery
department in buying stock.

There are several cases that have thrown some peculiar sidelights
on this subject. On one occasion the lumber being used in.a factory
was very easy and nice to work, but it became scarce and’ so high in
price that the management desired to try substituting a lower grade.
A car or two was purchased for experiment, and created a storm of
protest from the men handling the lumber. It was harder to work,
harder to nail, heavier to handle, and more disagreeable generally ;
almost every complaint imaginable was dinned into the ears of the
purchasing department.

Mixed in with this din, however, was very little specific, support-
able complaint against the substituted lumber; the complaint was
that it disarranged and altered the work. It seems, however, that the
lumber really gave fair service and was eventually used, and the
people working it got over their prejudice against it. In this case
there was a certain amount of unreasonable prejudice by the men
doing the work; they didn’t show due consideration for the welfare of
the institution by regarding the fact that there was a chance to save
several dollars per thousand by making the substitution.

There are other instances where the office end and purchasing
department show fully as much disregard for the men at work.
they go out to buy lumber they buy it either because it is cheap,
because they have a fad for certain things, because they like some
traveling salesman, or for various causes other than a proper con-
sideration for the men working the lumber.

What many wood-working plants do, and what every one should
do, is compare notes and combine interests, that the lumber may be
bought at the lowest practical cost, to give the best returns and work
up to fair advantage without being unreasonably burdensome on the
men doing the work. The importance of this point is emphasized,
too, because of the fact that the great burden of the lumber is in low-
grade stock, and everybody is striving for ways and means to utilize
this stock advantageously in planing mills and factories and get
enough out of it to justify working it out.

That 4 is one of the important considerations, and, in connection, it
is a wise man or combination of men’that can figure out just what
lumber will work best in a given factory; not only what specie and
what particular grade of wood, but also there enters a consideration
of the nature of the defects that cause the lower grades and their rela-
tion to the work. There also enters some matters of width and thick-
ness and general working up to get the lumber in such shape that it
will fit in best with each factor of the work.

One of the prominent manufacturing concerns of the country,
that utilizes a good many million feet of lumber a year, maintains a
number of sawmills of its own. Talking on this subject one day, the

manager said they didn’t operate their own sawmills because they
could produce lumber cheaper than they could buy it or because they
expected to make money directly out of the sawmills, but quite largely
because with their own mills they

could have the lumber cut and

trimmed to just such sizes and shapes as would work best in th
factory, something they found impossible in connection with the ay
age sawmill from which they bought lumber. This pertained not on
to dimensions, but to methods of sawing; also to the kind of defects
that might be trimmed out and left at the mill instead of being shippe’
to the factory, thus saving freight.

One day a bright traveling salesman developed an idea which
has used industriously to good advantage, and that was to study
requirements of the different factories and also study the pro
from the different mills he represented. Pretty soon he discovere
that probably one factory could use the low-grade lumber from t
one sawmill to much better advantage than another, because of f
nature of the defects. Some of the defects rendering it low-grade
such as practically ruined it for one factory, whereas the defec
the lumber from another mill could be trimmed out and a much I; ar
percentage of it utilized.

Right here in this idea is the keynote for selecting lumber. _
should study the products from the different mills when opportt
offers, and observe the nature of the defects that cause the la
and how well they work out in the factory. That is, how n
the stock can be utilized after the defects are trimmed out. Of
it-can never be carried out to an ideal point, but it can be n
help a whole lot. One factory may be cutting its stock one
another factory another, and as a result the kind of lumber m
able for one may not be suitable for another. By proper
and conference with the salesmen and mill men supplying th
however, a lot of good work can be done along the line of sup}
that which is best for each factory or mill, all within a given er le ;
specie. This not only benefits the factory and mill, but also
along the good cause of using up to better advantage the b
surplus of low-grade lumber.—The Wood- Worker, Indianapo:

O the saw mill ana woodworking industries we offer an unusually good belting value in our
“‘Acme Waterproof.” This belting is specially made from the best hides to run in wet places
where only the best quality belt can ‘‘make good.” If you require any belting you should

enquire into the merits of ‘‘Goodhue Belts,” then you will buy a ‘‘Goodhue.

According to the conditions under which the belt has to run, we recommend ‘‘Extra,” ‘‘Standard”
or ‘‘Acme Waterproof ’’—each brand the best quality, but each made for a different service.

LEVIATHAN and
ANACONDA have
been sold on a “make
good” basis for over
thirty years. If they
hadn’t made good we
would have been out
of business long ago.
The fact that our busi-
ness is progressing
rapidly is ample proof
of the merit of this
belting.

Why not give us a trial order and let LEVIATHAN or ANACONDA prove itself?

SPARTAN is the first belt to

operate successfully what is con-
sidered the hardest quarter-turn drive
in the State of Washington. It is a
high-speed drive with only five feet
between pulley centres. The belt
makes two quarter turns and is called
upon to drive the entire planing mill.
Previous belts slipped, burned, and
soon played out. Spartan has already
outlasted any former belt, it runs per-
fectly true, does not slip, and is still
in excellent condition.

SPARTAN
LEATHER BELTING

because of its strength, pliability and
pulley grip is particularly adapted to
the most difficult drives in your plant.
Spartan-equipped drives insure greater
production and less cost for operation.

Gentlemen:

In reply to your query of recent date regarding service
rendered by the 14" Spartan Douole Belt you installed on our
quarter turn drive, we wish to say the belt has.been entirely
satisfactory, and owing to its extreme pliability and friction
we feel we have at last secured the right kind of belt for
this particular arive.

“Waterous F orged”
Sawmill Chains |

~ Good materials, first class workmanship, and a proper appreciation of
what is expected from the chain, is the basis of our chain manufacture.

For these reasons Waterous Chains are especially suitable for sawmill

work. Every link is carefully tested during making and before ship-
/ ment, and great strength and re-
liability are guaranteed.

For Heavy Duty

For heavy duty we recommend our short and
long link Coil Chain built in sizes up to
33 lbs. per foot weight. Our flat and round
link Bull Chain also is very useful for oper-
ating with log jacks, and on rough wood and
refuse conveyors.

We build an all-steel Haul-up Chain on which
the largest and heaviest logs can be handled.

These chains are all carefully selected for size and strength
so that only those most suitable for your work will be sup-
plied. This service of selecting the best chain for your use
and installing it to give the best results in your mill, is at
your command.

me: |
We have had fifty years’ experience in this work and can give you advice that is worth

while.
Chain Accessories

a We build sprockets and idlers, drums and end spools to fit any style and size of chain. Our
list of extensible tooth sprockets is especially complete. For nice running sprockets that
) are easy on the chain, we can recommend our make.

SOFT PINE

Being a practically non-resinous wood in the
finish grades, it is not necessary to shellac the
raw surface, but instead the chosen stain of
whatever color is applied FIRST, insuring a
perfectly uniform absorption. Shellacs and var-
nishes are then applied and rubbed down.

We urgently recommend machine sanding as
against hand work on the bench. All finish
should be so worked wherever possible. This
treatment in combination with the above
method of final application insures a beautiful
satin-like surface to the completed work.

Arkansas Soft Pine is properly suitable for
woodwork in fine residences, apartments,
churches and offices. It is being NATION-

‘ Placing Responsibility for Ontario’s
z Forest Fires

) Every time that the Northland of Ontario is visited by a great
est fire, there follows in the daily press an outbreak of absurd
ferences to the causes of these calamities, ascribing them, without
sideration of the actual facts, to the carelessness and indifference
umbermen in not disposing of their slash by modern methods.
) long as the press of the country continue to display ignorance of
= most elementary principles in connection with this situation, and
| publish criticisms of this nature, at the same time failing to note
: real neglect that is undoubtedly the greatest cause of forest fires,
y look forward to an almost annual fire loss of a more or less
nature, and a periodical one which will involve millions in
perty loss and the destruction of many valuable lives, such as the
which has occurred this year and that which occurred only a few

; ago. The newspapers of the country, both Conservative and
il, are at fault in this matter. They are really failing in their
duty by not facing the -situation without considering their
affiliations. Politics, so far as we can gather, are directly
nsible for the failure of the Ontario Government to face this
€ n, and for the inability of the daily press to see it in its real

This is a pretty strong statement to make, yet we are convinced

| stripes and from practically everyone else whom we meet,
mies out of the north country. Since the fire which recently
$0 ‘great a toll of life and property, we have spoken to many men
ire in close touch with northern conditions, and without ex-
Mn they have all expressed the same views. They say, without
| sitation, that the cause of the fires is the policy pursued

e distances from one another. They are practically

isolated, and they make their little clearings in the middle of a forest
country. Each of them becomes a serious fire risk for the timber
located round about him. A settler has in mind, above everything
else, the necessity for getting his land cleared. He works at this,
accumulates a large amount of slash and fallen timber which must be
got rid of, and fire is the only practical way in which he can handle
the problem. He waits until a dry spell has made the material easy
to burn and then sets it on fire. He gets his clearing alright, but in
many a case he does so at the expense of enormous quantities of tim-
ber, and often at a heavy cost in human lives. That is the situation
in a nutshell; what is the remedy?

In the first place the desire of the Government to scatter settle-
ment extensively throughout the vast northland, so as to make a
good showing in regard to the extent of the country covered, is a
mustake. The only way in which such a country can be settled suc-
cessfully is by grouping the settlers; that is to say, setting aside a
fair-sized area at a time and directing all settlement towards it until
it is well occupied. This will give the settlers a community interest,
such as they cannot obtain if they are scattered about at great dis-
tances from one another. The work of building roads will be greatly
simplified by such a policy; the settlers will have one another’s com-
pany, and will be able to co-operate during the season when co-opera-
tion is most important; and they will not be so disheartened as many
of them must be under conditions which remove them from almost
all human companionship. From a business point of view alone, set-
tlement in fairly extensive groups is a better proposition than a scat-
tered settlement. From a fire risk point of view there is no compari-
Scattered settlers are just so many fire risks, and the risk of
each one extends over an enormous stretch of country. Grouped
settlers clear away a considerable area of land and create, instead
ofa risk, an extensive cleared area which will act as a fire guard for
much of the surrounding forest country.

son.

The fire ranging question is the other important factor in this
problem. We often hear it said that the ranging problem is too great
to be solved; that it cannot be handled effectively. There is no truth
in this statement. It is the excuse of incompetence or indifference.
The problem has been solved by corporations and individuals who
own extensive timber limits, and there is no reason why the Govern-
ment should not do the same thing, especially as they have the experi-
ence of the timber owners to profit from. There is nothing insuper-
able about the problem whatever. It is simply a question of organ-
ization and the employment of experienced rangers. One large com-
pany, owning a vast quantity of standing timber in Northern On-
tario, has created a complete fire ranging system within the space of a
single year. It has built roads throughout its limits, has placed look-
out stations on all the important high points of land and has made it
possible to keep a watch upon every bit of standing timber within its
limits. If a fire occurs anywhere on these limits, the com-
pany learns of it almost immediately and the roads and
trails enable the rangers to reach the scene and put out the
flames before they become too large to handle. This is practically
the whole science of forest fire protection; to get to the fire before
it is large enough to do any great damage. The Government can do
the same thing if it makes a serious attempt. The universal verdict,
however, of all who own standing timber in Northern Ontario is that
the Government has not faced this problem and has failed to protect
the timber.

We are not trying to make out a case in defence of the timber
owner against the criticisms of the daily press. Only those who
are not conversant with the situation can utter such criticism. We
are trying to show the Government that they are neglecting their
duty. Their settlement policy is all wrong. They employ rangers
who have little or no experience of their work, according to the testi-’
mony of timber owners. The same testimony tells us that these
rangers neglect their work, and in many a case are shirkers when
the critical moment arrives. We are told that Government rangers
are sent up and down the Trancontinental Railway on speeders, to
put out fires that may develop from locomotive sparks, but that prac-
tically no Government rangers go deep into the bush and guard the
Government timber as it should be guarded, nor is there any attempt

to regulate the setting out of fires by settlers in their clearing opera-
tions. Moreover, campers, prospectors, and others, who visit the
forest areas annually are not followed by rangers to see that their fires
are properly set and thoroughly extinguished before the party strikes
camp and moves elsewhere.

In short, the timber owners of Northern Ontario find the Govern-
ment unquestionably guilty of neglecting their duty, and alone re-
sponsible for the great losses that are so frequently sustained by the
timber owners and settlers themselves. These timber owners have
shown the Government how to handle the problem and they are
naturally indignant at the feeble manner in which both the present
and all former goverments of Ontario have dealt with the situation.

The Labor Shortage and the Market Situation —

Nearly everything that we have heard in the way of discussion
about trade conditions during the past month, when calling upon
members of the lumber trade, has borne upon the situation arising
out of the scarcity of labor. So far-reaching are the effects of this
state of affairs that there is not a single corner of the whole Domin-
ion of Canada, in which lumber is consumed, that is not more or less
concerned. In northern Ontario the manufacturers are daily wonder-
ing how long they can continue operating under present conditions.
In eastern Canada the same reports are heard. In British Columbia,
conditions are even more serious, as that province today is receiving
far more enquiry for the output of its mills than it is in a position to
take care of, either in regard to production or shipment.

At the present time, the interest of this condition is confined
mostly to its effect upon production and shipment and it is serious
enough at that. Before long, the situation will be complicated by the
commencement of logging operations in eastern Canada, and by the
natural increase in the demand for lumber which is to be expected
with the return of cooler weather. The inference is clear that from
the present time onward, until some extensive relief is brought about
by an‘increase in the quantity of labor available, there will not be
any increase in available stocks of lumber, but rather a steadily
_ decreasing supply, and one which will be taken out of the woods and
manufactured at the mills at a much greater cost than has ever pre-
vailed in Canada. The shortage of labor, moreover, is affecting the
railway companies just as much as anyone else, and shipments will
be much less satisfactory than they have been during the past year.

In view of these circumstances we believe that, without laying
ourselves open to the least suspicion of trying to create a demand
on the part of retailers and large consumers, we are fully justified in
advising them to make a definite point of anticipating their wants
to a much greater extent than is usual during ‘normal times. Such a
policy will not only ensure them far better service, but will assist
the manufacturer.

In connection with the market in eastern Canada for British
Columbia lumber, the necessity for anticipating requirements is ex-
ceptionally definite as will be realized after reading an interview
which appears elsewhere in this issue regarding conditions in the

an extensive visit to British Columbia manufacturing points. H
reports that the most important effect of the whole situation is tl
necessity for anticipating requirements on the part of eastern ¢
as they will not be able to get prompt shipments for some t
come. This he ascribes chiefly to the shortage of labor which is’
tailing the output of the mills, also to the effect of the labor shor
upon the ability of the railway companies to handle transpor
and lastly the fact that many of the mills of British Columbia,
in the mountains and at the coast have been obliged to curtail
output during the whole of the present year, on account of a
weather conditions. These weather difficulties commenced with
heavy snow fall upon the coast which stopped logging opera’
during the early weeks of the year and compelled the mills to sh
down for an extensive period. In the mountain districts, very h
floods which occurred during the spring caused widespread da’
to mills, washing away yard equipment, rails, and even mills 1
selves to such an extent that some of them have not yet been abl
to complete the repairs. The railway companies in some cases have
not even been able to deliver the rails required for renewing track
that were washed away in mill yards. ~ + Apa : :

While the advice to anticipate requirements seems to us to bi
unquestionably called for on account of all these conditions, the o
look for trade in Ontario and eastern Canada generally at presen
does not lead to any definite expectation of an extensive moye

ordered ahead, to handle their business satisfactorily. When w

different. Reports all agree that the demand from the prairi

Is It Impossible to Improve Trade Ethics ? a

Why is it that, even in the face of organization among lumber-
men, which has made fair progress during recent years, one still
hears the same old line of complaint about trade ethics which has
always prevailed, and why is it that the number of these complaints
does not seem to grow any less? We do not propose to answer this
question, because we do not know the answer, except that perhaps
the blame may be laid at the door of the “struggle for existence,”
which is blamed for so many things that go wrong in the business
world; or in other words, at the door of the futility of all efforts to
raise the moral standard of trade, because of the fact that the indi-
vidual members of the business community are always changing and
permanent improvement through organization and education cannot
be so brought about as to hold permanently. It all reminds us of those

dreams we often have in which we are struggling vainly to re:

no progress whatever.
frequently. In our waking hours, the futility of our efforts to
proye the trade situation sometimes seems to be just as great and
failures seem to be just about as complete. =

However, having worked off this pessimistic analogy, let us I
a look at things a little more closely and see if we cannot do sot
thing to help. Getting down to facts, take the case of the retailer
a large city and his relations with the wholesaler. In Toronto, f
stance, where the retailers have lately gone quite a distance alon
the road towards co-operative effort in handling many of their ugl
problems, we would expect to find less complaint about the rel;

yetween retailers and wholesalers than in other trade centres, but now
mid then we hear some wholesaler break loose with a line of abuse
inc indignation about retailers that opens our eyes in wonder. If we
asked ourselyés who was to blame we would find it difficult to reach
in answer. A Toronto wholesaler, whose opinions we have always
veld in pretty high esteem, unburdened himself to this effect a few
lays ago, in our presence. The retailers in this city, he told us, are
ust as bad a lot as we know, when it comes to kicking without good
ound for complaint. Is this really the case, or was this wholesaler

eriencing a periodical fit of the blues? It would be hard to settle
matter, but we do know that at that particular time he was
ea difficulty about a car load of lumber which he had shipped
Toronto retailer and which he claimed was fully equal to the
irements of the order. The trouble, according to the retailer, was
tt the percentage of a certain low end of the stock was too great.
e wholesaler held that this was not so, and to justify himself to us
lained that the stock had-been disposed of for the same purpose
re in the city. Of course, he was at a loss, on account of the
of shipping the car from one locality to another, and what he said
the retailer would not be fit to print.

We do not care to say that this retailer was not fair in his
Jealings with the wholesaler, nor vice versa. To get at the merits
the case it would be necessary to enquire into the details of the
saction more closely than we have time for, but we think that we
see where the start of the trouble arose. Assuming that both

the case, there had been a misunderstanding about the details.

other means than to introduce a more definite and businesslike man-
ner of giving and taking orders for lumber. Far too many orders are
put through without the parties to the transaction understanding one
another. There is too much dependence upon verbal descriptions and
too little general agreement about definitions of grades. Being ac-
quainted with many instances of disagreement of this nature we have
tried to become to a certain extent acquainted with the grading of
lumber in such markets as Toronto, but we must confess that, after
hearing lumbermen dispute continually about the grades, sometimes
for hours at a time, without coming to any practical agreement, we
have concluded that either our own mind is incapable of appreciating
the intricacies of the problem or that there is no possibility of agree-
ment because the interests are fundamentally adverse.

These conclusions are both distasteful to us and we are invariably
coming to the further conclusion that, in spite of much discourage-
ment that we have received from some lumbermen, it is possible to
draw up in black and white a set of trade ethics regulations and a
set of grading rules in connection with the trade of the more import-
ant markets, which will eliminate a sufficient number of these diffi-
culties to make the effort more than worth while. We still hope to
see this done and to see a better day dawn for the trade, when there
will be much less mutual recrimination than there has been in the
past. The Toronto trade affords a good starting point for this work.
Indeed, a start has already been made, although it has met with a
certain amount of indifference. The importance of the matter, how-
ever, is sufficiently great to encourage those who are trying to im-
prove the situation, to increase their efforts until they reach a practical
conclusion.

After the War—An Immigration Suggestion

thought to realize how great the opportunity is. The intimacy
created by meeting Englishmen, Frenchmen and Belgians upon the
field of battle, working along side of them in the trenches, meeting
them under a great variety of circumstances, all working heart and
soul for the same purpose, convalescing with them in hospitals and
chumming with them during periods of leave; this intimacy is some-
thing that brings them closer together than they will ever be brought
by any other influence; and during these days our men are in a posi-
tion to urge Canada’s claim for immigration in a way that will lead
in a great many cases to definite results when the war is over.

The reputation that Canadians are making as ultra-loyal sub-
jects of Great Britain is stirring a chord in the breasts of English-
men and of our Allies which will be quickly responsive to the sug-
gestion of settling in Canada after the war. We recall, some months
ago, reading of an Australian who happened to have enlisted, while
in England, with an English regiment. He was in the neighborhood
of one of the great engagements in which Canadians covered them-
selves with glory by their resourcefulness and their fearlessness. Their
energy in repelling attack and in carrying forward an attack against
seemingly impossible odds, so worked upon this Australian’s imagina-
tion that he exclaimed, “Canada for me after the war is over; the
country that can produce such men as these is the country for me.”
That is how the idea will work out in thousands of cases if we see
to it that the Canadians now at the Front and in England are fur-
nished with sufficient definite infotfmation about Canada to talk in-
vitingly to those whom they meet.

One may think, at first, that it is not necessary to go to any ex-
pense to put information in the hands of our soldiers for such a pur-
pose, as, being Canadians, and knowing Canada well, they will natur-
ally know how to attract others toward Canada. But this is not so.
Few of us, if put to the task, could deliver even a five minutes’ talk
about Canada’s attractions for the intending immigrant. Yet if we
were furnished with the small amount of information necessary regard-
ing the really important points we could draw a picture that would
appeal to anyone who had the future before him.

Therefore, we hope that this idea of sending to the Canadians
abroad a reasonable amount of well prepared literature to fit them

for this work, will appeal to those who have charge of immigration

matters at Ottawa.

26 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

The frightful loss of life and property from forest fires in Northern
Ontario need not be accepted by the people of the province as wholly
due to unavoidable causes.

Evidence thus far received indicates that the huge conflagration
had its beginning in “slash” fires started by settlers for the purpose of
clearing their lands.

For many years the menace of settlers’ fires during excessively
hot spells has been increasing, largely for the reason that no machinery
of any sort existed whereby a settler’s so-called “liberty” of destroying
lives and property could be curtailed. On the other hand, the damage
by railways has been rapidly lessening, as patrol and equipment have
been improved, so that in 1915 the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk,
Canadian Northern, and Algoma Central were credited by the Ontario
Government with 110 fires in the railway zone, causing a property
damage of only $4,156. On the Transcontinental and T. and N. O.
(Ontario Government 1915 report) 317 fires were reported in 1915,
the amount of damage being unstated. Investigation shows that both
in Ontario and Quebec the settler and not the railways primarily must
shoulder a very large part of the responsibility for annual forest fires,
with a considerable contribution also from campers, fishermen, pros-
pectors, etc. How is the settler to be brought under reasonable
restraint so that the “slash” fire shall be eliminated forever from the
causes of these North Ontario catastrophes?

In Othér Provinces.

The laws of Quebec, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia place
heavy penalties of fine or imprisonment upon any settler who starts
a fire during the season of danger—April to November 15—without a
written permit from.a qualified forest ranger. The object of these
laws is to make sure that the settler does not select a windy or abnor-
mally dry day on which to carry on his fire operations; also that he
piles his brush in the centre of his clearing, where the risk of contact
with neighboring timber is at a minimum. This places no unreason-
able hardship on the settler and, on the other hand, is a necessary
guarantee for the safety of lives and immensely valuable timber in his
neighborhood. During periods of excessive and dangerous drought
the British Columbia and Quebec forest authorities have power to
place a strict prohibition upon the setting out of all fires in forest
areas for whatever period of time may be considered necessary.

What is the situation in Ontario? There is neither law nor
regulation to prevent a settler letting loose conflagrations in any way
and at any time he may select. No ranger has authority to advise or
interfere with a settler in the employment of fire.

Under a watchful and modern forest administration the whole
period of abnormal drought would have found every settler under a
prohibition to set out fires of any sort. There was no such prohibition.
Settlers’ fires were started at the height of the danger season. Hun-
dreds of lives, entire towns, and incalculable amount of growing crops
and timber growth have been swept away and the whole Claybelt
seriously set back in its development.

The control of settlers’ clearing operations is but one foundation
stone in the modern forest protective service, but had that been inau-
gurated by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests the damage
of the recent bush fires would probably never have reached its appall-
ing proportions.

Before Fires Start.

A forest protection service is not supposed to be able to fight and
overcome forest conflagrations once they have started to swirl across
townships with the speed of a tornado. The real business of forest
rangers, and the governments responsible for them, is to stop fires
from starting. Ontario, particularly in the Northern claybelt section,
now so severely devastated, has practically no real ranger patrol, car-
ries on no preventive campaign, and offers no opposition to the whole-
sale use of fire by settlers for stripping their soil of tree growth.

In the spring of this year the Canadian Forestry ‘Association,
through their secretary, met the Associated Boards of Trade of the
Temiskaming District at a meeting in Haileybury and asked that
joint action be taken to stop the extravagant and dangerous burning
of the northern forest areas by settlers. Some of the members.of the
Associated Boards frankly opposed any interference, asserting that
many of the settlers favored free-running fires, and would not-support
such a measure as was proposed. Other members of the board took a
more favorable point of view, but no joint action was taken.

Irom February to June, 1916, through the representations of the
Canadian Forestry Association, twenty-two of the leading Boards of
Trade of Ontario asked the Ontario Government to bring in legislation
to control settlers’ fires and also to reorganize the entire forest protec-
tion service of the province. The reply of the Minister of Lands and

l'orests to these communications was to the effect that the matte
would be considered. “
The Ontario forest protection service stands urgently in need ¢
three main reforms, which, year after year, have been urged upon t
governments by the Canadian Forestry Association, the Commiss
of Conservation, and other bodies: a
1. Remodelling of the ranger service so as to give real protect

to the forest wealth of the province and supply a fair return in ser
rendered for the money spent thereon. The Ontario system is r
nized generally as out of date and inefficient. >
The employment of inspectors in the ratio of at least o
inspector to ten rangers, so as to get the maximum degree of ae
forest protection. Over an area of ten million acres of timber
under license, Ontario has just eight supervisors, each being requi
to manage, on an average, 36 men, a task so impossible that often
more than one flitting visit to the ranger on duty can be paid in ¢
entire season. An industrial workshop would show bankrupt rest
under such loose inspection of workmen, and the forest patrol suff
in no less degree. 4/tMey

region, most of which is now under tree growth, and these range

A Great Future for the Lumber Trade a
An outline of what the lumber industry may expect in the way
of foreign trade when the European war ends is given by Ernest W.
Tickle, of Liverpool, in a letter to his brothers in the United States
lumber trade. Here is the way he expresses the conditions in th
industry as they will be abroad: “There’s a good—and overwhelm-
ingly good—time coming for the lumbermen of your country
ours when once this cataclysm is behind us, perchance before t
actual end of the bloodshed arrives; because if once the German ar
has to evacuate the present scene of warfare in Northern France and
Belgium, then the first duties of the respective governments of these
mangled territories will be to rehabilitate as quickly as possible the
shattered industries which formerly headquartered there for, as you
know, these were the heart-centres of the commerce and industri
of our allies. Think of the hundreds of factories and workshops
the myriads of homes to be rebuilt, and then try and estimate the
lumber bill that will be wanted for immediately deilvery when once
the job is taken in hand!” "

A notable business feature arising out of the war has been the
revival of the hemlock bark industry in New Brunswick. The sear
city of tanning acids has led the leather tanners to return to the old
bark tanning process, and, as a result, large shipments of the bark are
being made from the province. Bark peelers get about $8 per cord for

the product.

"Mr. E. P. Sharpe, of Muir, Kirkpatrick & Sharpe, wholesale lum-

onth’s business visit to the Pacific Coast. In conversation with
Canada Lumberman, Mr. Sharpe laid special emphasis upon the
that it was becoming more and more important for the Ontario
to anticipate, so far as possible, its requirements in British Col-
stock. Heretofore the Ontario trade has been receiving prompt
snts in British Columbia goods in many instances, but condi-
have changed materially within the last two months. The
for the conditions existing to-day are as follows: The white

accumulated large stocks of these classes of material in the past

The 224th: is doing most of its work in the North of Scotland,
cutting Scotch pine. There is a company at work in the park at
Windsor Castle, cutting trees there, and a third company at New
Forest. There is also a party in a camp near Dover and some men

The new battalions will probably be sent to France. Lieut.-Col.
White was over the ground there and found a great deal of timber

majority, of the men now joining will soon be laying low the trees in
France.

Eight sawmills have been sent from Canada to England, six for
the 224th Forestry Battalion and two for the Forestry Committee
in England, which has supervision over the lumbering operations
there during the war. They are mills typical of the Casadian lumber-
ing industry and are generally known in Canada as portable mills.
although they cannot be transported with the facility of most mills
which carry the name “portable.” They are entirely new to the
british lsles, and their wonderful efficiency is said to be causing much
interest. They each have a capacity of from 15,000 to 20,000 feet a
day, and include the edger, slash saw, saws for making railway ties,
etc., in addition to their big 56-inch circular saw. They have 40 horse-

The case of the Sterling Lumber Company v. Jones, in which a
judgment was given some months ago by an official referee, Mr. R. S.
Neville, K.C., was subsequently taken before the Appellate Division
of the Supreme Court of Ontario and the the judgment of the official
referee was affirmed. The case was an interesting one, involving the
Mechanics” Lien Act. The Sterling Lumber Company and others
had furnished material for a building under construction which was
being put up by the defendant Jones. One James Oliver agreed to
purchase the building from Jones as soon as it should be completed.
This was done, the deed was registered, and the money was paid
about two weeks before the plaintiff’s and other liens were recorded
in respect of work done for and materials furnished to the building
owner. These liens were all filed within thirty days immediately
following the last delivery of materials.

Oliver, before purchasing the house, engaged a solicitor to
enquire into the condition of the deed. He found that there were no
liens registered, and he endeavored to see that all claims were paid.
He took a statutory declaration from Jones to the effect that all work
and material were paid for, and that there were no liens and no one
was entitled to file a lien. When the conveyance of the property to
Oliver was registered the solicitor believed that all claims had been
paid upon which liens might be founded.

The official referee had found that Oliver was an innocent pur-
chaser for value, having no knowledge or notice of any liens then
existing, and that he took his conveyance and registered it, through
his solicitor, in the full belief that there were no such liens, and that
he was therefore entitled to hold the property freed of all liens, and

his executors, the defendants in the action, must succeed.

The plaintiffs based their appeal upon several points, the chief
one being that they were entitled to a lien upon the lands in question,
on which the house was built, having fulfilled all requirements of the
statute to entitle them thereto, in respect of materials furnished, and
that the lien could not be destroyed by a sale or conveyance of the
land; and that Oliver could not relieve himself from liability by
accepting a declaration as to the absence of liens made by the defend-
ant Jones.

In the judgment of the Court of Appeal the views of the Official
referee were upheld throughout.

News Print Exports Greatly Increased

Canada’s pulp and paper exports for the first quarter of the cur-
rent fiscal year surpassed all previous records.. Newsprint exports
for the first three months of the new Government year, April, May
and June, reached a total value of $4,624,632. This is almost one
million dollars above the value of.the exports for the same period a
year ago and more than double the total of three years ago. These
exports were greater than for the entire twelve months of the fiscal
year 1911-12, and double the volume of export for the year 1909-10.

The growth of the trade is illustrated in the following figures of
the export of newsprint:

Output of Forest Products in B.C.

Quantity and Price Both Reduced in 1914, as Compared
with 1913—Shingle Output Greater

A report upon the output of forest products in British Columbia
during 1913 and 1914 has been isued in a market bulletin by the
Forest Branch of the Department of Lands. The statistics for the
1914 lumber cut are based upon reports from 216 sawmills and 49
shingle mills. In 1913 more plants reported production of lumber,
lath, and shingles—namely, 230 sawmills and 52 shingle mills.

"The gross production in 1913 and 1914 follows:

This comparative table shows a reduction in lumber and lath pro-
duction in 1914, as compared with 1913, of 38.3 per cent. in lumber
and 90.5 per cent. in the case of lath. This is attributed to decline in
building operations during the whole of 1914 and to the shock to com-
merce incident to the outbreak of the European war in August of
that year. On the other hand, the production of shingles increased
12.1 per cent. in the same period.

The table also shows the variation in price of all these products.
In every case the price given is net average at mill.

Wood-Using Statistics.

Statistics are also given of the wood-using industries of British
Columbia, showing that the total consumption was 85,827,464 feet
B.M., the average price being $10.37 per M feet and the total value
$890,007.64. The greater proportion of the stock consumed in the wood-
using industries of British Columbia came from British Columbia, the
amount being 84,636,964 feet B.M. From the United States these
industries secured 933,000 feet; from the remainder of Canada they
purchased 74,000 feet; from other countries, 183,500 feet.

In 1913 the United States supplied these industries with $202,000
worth of wood, and of this total $126,000 was for Douglas fir.

The relative importance of the different wood-using industries is
shown by the amounts they consumed, which during 1914 were as
follows: Pulpwood, 50,997,000 feet B.M.; boxes and crates, 23,617,964
feet B.M.; sash, doors, and interior fixtures, 5,054,000 feet B.M.; tanks
and silos, 1,677,000 feet B.M.; ship and boat building, 1,486,000 feet
B.M.; cars, 1,259,000 feet B.M.; cooperage, 1,186,000 feet B.M.;
machine construction, 224,000 B.M.; caskets, 85,000 feet B.M.; pat-

- tries, etc.

During 1914 the production of mine-props amounted to 23,
cords, the average price being $4.71 per cord and the total val
$108,698.59. The greatest production was in Western larch—9,4
cords—which was followed by Douglas fir, 6,091 cords; spruce, 5,
cords; jackpine, 1,657 cords; Western hemlock, 300 cords, and West
ern red cedar, 59 cords.

The production of piles during 1914 amounted to 9,722, 171 : 3
feet, the average value being 6.5c per foot. 7

‘the production of poles during 1914 amounted to 4,339, 234 li

H. R. MacMillan Back from World Tour

H. R. MacMillan, chief forester for B. C., returned recent
an eighteen-months’ tour of England, France, Holland, South —
East Africa, Burmah, Australia and New Zealand, as special
commissioner of the Dominion Department of Trade and Cc r
to inquire into export possibilities for lumber products of the D
ion. Before he considers his study of the question complete
visit China and Japan, for which places he anticipates leaving
short time.

His tour has left Mr. MacMillan convinced of the nece;:
co-operation of the lumbermen of Canada, a keener study
conditions, and the securing of ample cargo space. Inter-
trade would only be successful by operation along the best
lines, and this means that exporters must offer competitive pric
fill orders to specification both as to quality and quantity. In
nection with the difficulties of exporting lumber which have b
much felt since the war, Mr. MacMillan endorsed the building of s
locally. Cargoes of British Columbia lumber would never go begg

Nevertheless, said Mr. MacMillan, it would be something of a
surprise and disappointment to people of British Columbia to learn
that few of the importers abroad knew other than that t Ih
was grown in the United States. Practically all the cise
raw materials were shipped through United States firms, who bill
as American lumber. San Francisco and other American pate
the Pacific coast had studied the export situation, had organized, an
now controlled the charters in such a way that it was leben
their consent that British Columbia got the export opportunities s ~
had. ra

Mr. MacMillan stated that the trade prospects were good. |
many countries, Australia for instance, forests were thinning d
rapidly and there was an increased demand for foreign lumber.
would continue to have competitors in some lines of raw mate!
Russia was practically unknown as an exporter, but Norway <
Sweden would continue to be keen competitors in some lines of 1
business. There was a very ready disposition throughout the Britis
countries to buy lumber within the empire and keep the trade
home. But even so, good business terms were expected, and th
exporter must look to this if he wished to make and hold the mar!
against the strong competitors already established. ‘

irticle on “Shell Box Prices—Are They Adequate?” in the Aug. 1 is-
ue of the Canada Lumberman, is on the right lines, and confirms our
xperience,’ was the comment of a Montreal lumberman with a con-
able business in shell box lumber. “The low price at which con-
s have been let throw a great burden on the wholesaler who is
s to do business, but who is apprehensive that if he sells to box-
firms he will have difficulty in obtaining his money. This, of
does not apply to all firms, but to many who have gone into the
iking game. After our recent experience we have decided to sell
the large companies and to let the unimportant people alone.

From the Canada Lumberman of

Thirty-five Years Ago

The Nipissing District

Some time since, we referred to the development of the Nipissing
district by the building of a propeller by A. P. Cockburn, Esq., M.P.,
to run on Lake Nipissing next season. The proposed steamer, the
“Inter-Ocean,” is expected to be ready to make a trial trip by the end
of June next. The workmen to be engaged in constructing the steam-
er left Muskoka, by way of Rosseau, about the middle of last Decem-
ber. A correspondent, recently writing, says:—‘‘Owing to the diffi-
culties of communication all the settlers in the Nipissing district so
far have settled on the south side of the lake; and there is actually
only one man, with his wife and child, living in all the vast expanse
of territory north of its waters. The establishment of short colon-
ization roads running north and south from the lake; the navigation
of the Sturgeon river and other tributaries of the Nipissing by the
‘Inter-Ocean’; the daily arrival of trains at Callander, and the con-
struction of the Sault Branch Railroad, will give a wonderful impetus
to the settlement of the country. As demonstrating that the winters
in the Nipissing District are not of necessity more severe than those
in Muskoka, the fact is communicated that although last week there
were about two feet of snow at Bracebridge there were only three
inches at Lake Nipissing. The most recent surveys confirm every
statement as to the fertility and suitableness of a large proportion of
that country for settlement by agriculturists. A map carefully cor-
rected by field notes, and issued within the past few weeks by the
Crown Lands Department at Toronto, shows that in the townships
south of the lake and French River 95 per cent. of the land is arable,
and well wooded with birch, white oak, hemlock and balsam. It may
be mentioned that the want of a steamer has been much felt by
lumbermen in this district during the past year. It is not expected
that the enterprise will be immediately successful from a pecuniary

point of view, but there is such confidence in the future of that Dis-

trict that a Lake Nipissing Navigation Company will before long.
be formed.”

Thomas Marcy, of Bigelow, Minn, is the new manager of the
North Canada Lumber Company, Prince Albert, Sask.

wegian vessels laden with lumber in the North Sea.

30 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

Keeping Track of Retail 1 ransaction

A Systematic Arrangement Which Enables One Firm to Trace
and Record All Kinds of Sales with the Least Possible Effort.

Some of the problems in connection with the routine work of a
retail lumber office, that have to be handled frequently every day,
lend themselves so definitely to systematic treatment that in many
cases their solution has become almost standardized in all up-to-date
offices. Once in-a while one comes across a unique method of handling
some of these problems by means of which the work is simplified and
the results are improved. One or two seemingly small matters are
dealt with in this article, but they are matters which, unless handled in
some thoroughly systematic manner will cause a lot of difficulty. A
short time ago the editor of the Canada Lumberman was fortunate
enough to make the acquaintance of Mr. C. F. Middlebrook, formerly
of C. D. Middlebrook & Son, Binghamton, N. Y., to whom he is
indebted for the material upon which this article is based.

In the first place this company have adopted the use of an order
blank which appeals to us as extremely simple and effective. It hap-
pens, in connection with all retail lumber yards, that a good many
orders are received over the telephone. Before these order blanks
- were used telephone orders were jotted down upon such plain bits of
white paper or scrap paper as happened to be handy. This led to
confusion and uncertainty on account of the impossibility of filing

Telephone Order Blank Used for All Orders Received.

such orders systematically. A telephone order blank was worked out
in the first place, and, after a few changes, it was found to be so satis-
factory that it was adopted in connection with all orders received at
the office.

An All-Purpose Order Form.

These order blanks are 7% inches wide by 634 inches high. They
are padded on the right, in blocks of white and yellow sheets alter-
nately. The white original sheets are perforated at the top with three
holes, the outer ones being spaced for an arch file. The yellow dupli-
cate sheet is pierced with only one hole in the centre at the top. Several
of these pads are distributed around the office—at the telephones,
shipper’s desk, etc. When an order is taken the original is placed on
an arch file at the shipper’ s desk, where the order number is put on it.
The yellow sheet is hung on a hook, and is merely a loader’s memor-
andum for use outside, no effort being made to preserve it. The use
of this duplicate removes the necessity for consulting the original of
the order, both in the office and outside, where the loaders are at work.

When an order has been filled the foreman makes out a dray
ticket for it. He puts the date of filling only, on the order sheet, which
remains on the file until the close of the day. In invoicing, the checker
puts the number of the dray ticket on the order blank. After the
checking has been done the order forms are filed alphabetically in a
vertical file, and they are transferred to a permanent file about once in
two years.

When the order forms are in the arch file the lower edge is free,
and when they are in a vertical file the upper edge is free. For this
reason it will be noticed from the illustration that the firm name and
the order number are repeated at the bottom of the form. The order
form also contains a two-line blank for address, blanks for the time

‘items show quantities (feet or pieces). In distributing the day’s

charge sales are attended to, each item being entered in its proper

The Value of Cost Finding*

It is necessary to-day for a manufacturer’s success that he knows
on what articles he is making a profit and on what he is incurring a
loss. A prominent vehicle manufacturer recently made the statement
that he was forced, for his own protection, to install an efficient cost
system. This showed, he said, that he had been in the past laboring
under a wrong impression. He was surprised to find that where he
thought he was making money he was not making it, and that certain
lines he was not pushing were affording a far greater percentage of
profit than lines he was actively pushing.

Unfortunately, the value and importance of proper cost accounts
are often underestimated. So long as the details of a business can be
carried in mind cost records are not so essential, but when this cannot
be done it becomes absolutely necessary for the safe conduct of busi-
ness that costs be kept. They serve three broad purposes—first, they
show the cost of each product second, they permit the elimination of
unprofitable business; and, third, they establish a correct basis upon
which to make future prices.

Arbitrarily making a price may result not only in a direct loss, but
an indirect loss by reason of the demoralizing influence in establishing
a false price for future business. A manufacturer owes it to his stock-
holders, his employes, his customers, and his competitors to accur-
ately determine his cost of production. To sell blindly a product of
which the complete cost is not known almost invariably produces bad
results, not only to the company but to the industry as a whole. Your
most dangerous competitor is the man who does not know what his
goods cost him.

Index to Efficiency.

Another marked advantage of properly kept costs is their value
as an index of operating efficiency. With properly prepared cost
figures the relative efficiency of the various departments of plants may
be watched and compared. The current results obtained in each
department may be checked against those obtained in the past, thereby
showing increases in efficiency, or the reverse, and the results of
improvements in practice. The judicious use of accurately prepared
costs will help to bring to light poor and inefficient management, and
will enable standards to be set for the less efficient departments,
based on what actually has been done in departments that are being
properly and efficiently administered.

It is a fact too little realized that scientific cost keeping is funda-
mentally related to manufacturing efficiency. A cost system in the
hands of an executive who thoroughly appreciates its possibilities is a
most effective instrument of control. A majority of our business
failures can be attributed to poor accounting and inadequate business
information. Bad office methods, inadequate and unreliable costs of
production and distribution cause a great deal of unfair competition
and a heavy business death rate.

I know I am safe in saying that with better accounting many of
our bad business practices would be brought to light and promptly

as good accounting gives reliable information and timely warning.

There is no net profit until everything in the way of expense and
service is taken care of, including depreciation, taxes, insurance in all
its forms, losses from bad debts, price discounts, expense in collecting
outstanding receivables, etc. The omission of such items as these is
the reason that the final profit and loss account at the end of the year
is so often disappointing, and so difficult to reconcile with the profit
percentage that was added to the supposed cost of the goods.

The Attitude of Banks.

There is another phase of this subject which manufacturers should
not lose sight of, and that is the attitude of banks in the matter of get-
ting credit. Banks are paying more and more attention to the account-
ing methods used by the manufacturer to whom they extend credit.
They are willing to give larger loans and very often more liberal terms
to the business man who keeps his books in a way that enables him
to show the bank at any time the true condition of his business. A
business man who can give a bank this information will receive more
consideration with the same amount of assets than the one who can-
not.

If merchants and manufacturers would agree on some standard
practical system of accounting it would go a long way towards elimin-
ating the unintelligent and destructive competition that is so manifest
in many of our industries of to-day.

It is of great importance to the manufacturers of an industry that
they agree on the elements or fundamentals of a cost practice, espe-
cially to make sure that all of the elements of cost are included in their
calculations. This is of vital importance. Make sure that you have
included in your cost an adequate provision for depreciation and every
expense of every description incurred during the year. The test of
the accuracy of a cost system is that it dovetails in and co-ordinates
with the financial books of account. The costs then, in the aggregate
at least, must be correct.

Betterment of Trade Conditions.

Production costs, determined by a uniform practice, have been
demonstrated to improve trade conditions to a remarkable degree.
Excellent results are being attained by trade associations appointing a
man to devote his entire time to visiting the concerns that are engaged
in their industry, getting acquainted, preaching the gospel of good
accounting practice, reconciling differences, and in standardizing
methods. When the person engaged for this work has the subject at
heart, is congenial and persuasive and well grounded in the principles
of cost accounting, the results in improving the general welfare of the
industry are surprising. There should be no selfish motives back of
such service. There should be the same willingness and free spirit to
help and to aid and bring in line the non-member of an organization
as there is manifested in the member. The non-member is usually the
trouble-maker. In the interest of the industry he should be guided by
the experience of others. The fallacies and disastrous results of bad
business practice should be pointed out to him.

Business men are looking upon activities for the general welfare
of their industry in a new light.” They are being governed by the
single purpose to promote the best interests of the community and of
the industry in which they are engaged. They are putting aside sec-
tional differences, and there is the broadest and most generous co-oper-
ation for the general good.

The lack of a correct knowledge of one’s business carries with it
various undesirable results. In the first place. the manufacturer is
unable to conduct his business upon sound business principles. The
result is reprehensible practices as disastrous at times as intentional
unfair methods of competition. In the second place, he severely han-
dicaps himself, in that he is unable, when seeking credit, to produce a
correct statement of his financial condition which would enable a
banker to extend to him the full credit to which he is entitled. He
thereby hampers and limits the possible expansion of his business.

Nearly every business man is perfectly willing to include in his
costs all items for which he pays out actual money, but he is inclined
to overlook those which do not require a visible outlay. and deprecia-
tion is one of these. A number of manufacturers do not charge any
depreciation, and give as a reason that they keep their plant in first-
class condition and it does not depreciate. This is one of the most
fallacious ideas in business to-day. Every machine, building, and
apparatus, like every man, has a certain period of life. and no matter
how much care you take of the machine or how much medicine you
give the man, death is bound to come.

Many manufacturers hesitate to charge off depreciation because
of the mistaken idea that by so doing they are really spending money.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. You have not lost one penny
by making an adequate charge for depreciation; on the contrary, you
have strengthened your business and you are playing fair with your-
self and with your competitors.

The problem of waste, without doubt, is the most vital que
that confronts every manufacturing institution in existence ta
not only in the consumption of lumber alone, but it applies to any ra
material that enters into ‘the process of manufacturing your product

ern machinery and improved methods absorb a reasonable percen
of this increase in cost of materials by reducing the handling

We must then give our attention to other means of waste red
and I now refer particularly to your lumber requirements.

A great deal of abuse and criticism has ben heaped upon the
of the lumber industry over the question of establishing a
inspection rules which will conform more closely to the requires
of lumber consumers. While it is probable that the present
be improved upon in this respect, until this past year no uni
has been made by the consumers to encourage an interchange
on the subject. : lie

The elimination of waste is a factor which appeals to 1
each day as I study manufacturing problems, and it offers |
possibilities toward the solution of our difficulties. This, again, sug
gests the importance of closer co-operation between the con
and manufacturers of lumber. Those among you who are not
with the operation of a sawmill cannot appreciate the remarké
improvement in manufacturing methods of an up-to-date plant.
some extent this has been due to a natural evolution and the nt
of reducing costs, but the idea of conservation has been param
the development of these methods. Why, then, should not the
sumer derive a benefit from these developments through a closer
munication with the manufacturer? It is a surprising fact tha
large number of lumber consuming industries of the present
make no attempt to compute their waste or estimate their cost of
duction. The important feature with them is the total produc
their finished product within a specified time. Quantities of sto
are burned which could be utilized in the production of useful arti
at a profit. I consider this actually a crime. and some means of puni
ment should be meted out by our Government for such gross
needless waste of this country’s resources. oe :

We have come in contact with one case through our se
department which will serve to illustrate this condition. This
pany uses a large amount of lumber each year, and one of our
men who calls on them regularly explained the idea of our se:
plan. The buyer was mildly interested, and agreed to consu

will save money, not only in the purchase of material, but also
waste in their production. This instance is only one of many, an
emphasizes my former remarks regarding the closer co-operatioi
between the purchasing and operating departments. a

The principal factor in the waste elimination is in the selecti
your raw material, and this again reverts to the purchase of
requirements. In this connection we must first consider the kind
material best adapted. It is necessary to know what physical pri
ties in the wood are most essential for the use intended. This

Stock List Evils

NIX years ago, and for some years preceding that time, it was my
® lot to be a part of a retail lumber concern located in one of the
J larger Middle West cities. This town was, and still is, the

- home of several. large manufacturing companies, and conse-
lently our yard was on the calling list of a number of home office
sentatives. Being a market in which large quantities of pine
re absorbed, it may be presumed that these salesmen were among
est on the payrolls of their various companies. These men were

‘ia Le and courteous fellows, with whom we became well
ted and whom we grew to like. Liking them and being human,
e them our patronage, placing orders for various items with
mills as we knew from experience were most likely to ship what
I may say, however, that, with the exception of our trans-
t with the representative of one concern from which we secured

greater part of our requirements, almost every carload shipped into
ur yard was bought by us and not sold by the representative.

A former sales manager-of the National Cash Register Company
nce said that cash registers were not bought, but sold. Unfortunately,
reyerse mainly applies to lumber, for it is not sold, but bought.
We have called lumbet salesmen order-takers until that term has lost
ts force, but its meaning still applies to a vast number of these men.
pears, however, that one of the prominent factors which is con-
Ene eyithis state of affairs is that famous adjunct to every lumber

an’s equipment—the stock list. Instead of using it merely as

a to govern his orders in proportion to his stock, the

age man employs it somewhat as a bill-poster, which, to all intents
purposes, might better be gotten up in big red and blue litho-
phed dodgers and read about like this:

Advice from a Yellow Pine Salesman That White Pine Men May Absorb

to Advantage—Practical Selling Suggestions.
By Robert H. Brooks*

on a factory bill? Many salesmen have a reputation of going in back-
wards, with words about like this: “No. 1 long leaf yellow pine, 8 x 8”,
10’, 20” x 20”—40’, at so much per M for the various sizes, shipment as
per contract.” That part off it, however, should be made incidental to
the fact that geological conditions in the region in which your mill and
timber are located are highly favorable to a dense growth, insuring a
heavy percentage of summer wood and consequent great tensile
strength, that timbers of this character are well within the new density
rule on which contract specifications are based; that your stock will
fully meet their requirements; and, in addition, that your concern
brands its name on each stick, not only as an identification against
substitution on the job or at the city yard, but as a trade mark as well,
which is symbolic of reliable merchandise, behind which your firm
stands with its reputation of twenty years. Drive these points into
your prospect’s mind and you will find him more interested in these
physical qualities which he desires and which are essential to the suc-
cessful carrying out of this contract than in the fact that to get your
stock he must pay a little more money than for unidentifiefid stuff sold
on a mere quotation.

An_Example of Good Work.

One day a man dropped into a hardwood mill and asked the mana-
ger if he had any inch culls which he would like to dispose of. Almost
anything would do, as it was for very ordinary use. This manager
hadn’t any on hand just then, but thought that a neighboring mill
across the railroad track had a pile which was probably about what the
buyer was looking for. “If you like,” said the manager, “I will go over
with you and see them.” So the two men walked over and entered the
yard at the lower end near the pile in question. “There is the stuff,”
said the manager, “and while you are looking it over I will walk up to
the office and see what they will take for it.” So the prospect looked
the pile over and the manager walked along to the sales office. Enter-
ing, he said: “You have a pile of culls down there at the southwest cor-
ner of the yard. How much are you carrying it for on your books?
Perhaps I can sell it for you.” He was told, after reference to the
books, that the stuff was listed at $250.00 on the records, and that he
might have what he could get above that figure. The manager returned
to the pile and found his man just finishing a rough tally.

Said he: “Well, can you use it ”

“Ves, it is just about what I need.”

“All right; make an offer.”

“Well,” said the buyer, “there will be a good deal of waste, but
there is also a considerable amount of it, and I will give $1,000.00 for
the pile as it is.”

“Well, now, you will find that stuff runs pretty good,” said the
manager, “and we could not let it go at that figure, but will take
$1,500.00.”

The sale was made at $1,250.00, the buyer was satisfied, the com-
pany got its book value, plus $1,000.00, or 400 per cent., as the manager
would not accept any division for himself. That is a true story, as
well as a demonstration of what actually was done with an item which
could scarcely be qualified even as a bargain. Of course, the buyer
wanted the stock, but that manager made him desire it $250.00 worth
more than he offered and 400 per cent. more than the owners expected
to get out of it.

Now, take Southern pine stock. Five hundred mills, say, make the
same kind of lumber, sell in the same territory, on the same grading
rules. It is probably the idea with many salesmen in view of this
situation—which is, indeed, a mistake—that with so much stock of
identical character being offered on stock lists low prices are the only
leverage available. However that may appear, it is more than apparent
that such arguments—or shall we say impediments ?—assuredly give
no individual advantage over the other fellow. So, then, what will?

As an example, take finish. First of all, be sure that you sell the
wood which actually is specifically adapted to use as finish, because
some woods are not, and this fact will have to be recognized just as
must the contrary one, that a wood adapted to finish is not usually a
proper one for timbers. Assuming, then that your product is one
suited to the use to which the buyer will put it, know and tell him, for
instance, that your pine is from a district in which the species attains
a state of perfection in timber growth—a fact recognized by forest
service reports and other authoritative sources. If it is so, emphasize
the fact that your wood contains a very low percentage of resin, com-
bined with a lustrous texture and fine grain, which supplies the neces-
sary absorbing qualities upon which a successfully finished interior
trim depends. Also know and point out that your wood has certain
individual advantages under various color treatments. In short, post

yourself on everything to be known about the use of your wood and
you will find the buyer so interested in what the wood will do that cost
will be secondary.

Possibly some of you are thinking that the average dealer knows
the difference between long and short leaf yellow pine or white pine
and hemlock, but beyond that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks.
The answer is, “Try it.” During a recent.tour of inspection by some
fifty Northern retailers through the mills of the South those men saw
and learned new things about wood which they have been selling for
the past twenty-fiears years, and which they never dreamed existed.
Now, about one dealer in every 2500 ever sees a mill stock, so why
not take the mill stock to the dealer in the form of a complete line of
honestly-selected representative samples? If necessary, carry a trunk
to hold them. Show everything, from a strip of waney edging from
which lath are made up to a piece of 8309, with a mahogany and white
enamel combination finish on it. The inspection of such samples them-
selves would get your customer’s mind off that 50c per M less, which
is worrying you so much, and will give you an excellent opportunity
to pump him full of information about your plant, your timber, your
dependable shipping department, and all the rest of it.

The preparation of such a salesman’s equipment would develop
new ideas for presenting the stock as the plan was carried on, until the
salesmen themselves can, on their own initiative and creative ability
pull themselves out of the stock list—low price—rut and on to the
higher plane of real salesmanship. Did you ever watch a $10,000.00 a
year shoe salesman in action? If not, make a point of doing so at the
first opportunity. True, he has to show a range of styles, but to com-
pare with that you have everything from “A” edge grain flooring to
Byrkit lath. That salesman will take a $10.00 shoe and have it cut into
two cross sections, to show the stuff inside and the make-up. He knows
every step in the process of that shoe’s manufacture and all about the
physical qualities of every piece of material in it. Then, too, there
are the chéap shoes for the cheap trade, just as there are cheap grades
of lumber for the yards that cater to cheap contractors. He makes an
analysis of the goods, which is the successful salesman’s greatest lever.

Attractive Yards Draw the Best Ir

Well Kept Stocks, Tidy Driveways, and Neat Fences Transform An Ugly Yard into
One That Pulls the Customer Inside.
By An Alberta Yard Manager

“Orders be Orders,’ remarked Gordon Snow, the tall, slender
local manager, to his yardman, who stood by anxiously watching the
reading of a reply to a request for a new large up-to-date shed, which
is so much the desire of all managers and their assistants. ;

It was plainly evident that the answer had been that times and
general conditions did not warrant any expenditure for new or ex-
pensive plants and with the least expense possible the old one must
be made serviceable, and there was no good reason why it could
not be made so, and, furthermore, be the neatest and most attractive
yard in its district.

Most men want large and expensive sheds, and then never have
their lumber well or handily piled in them, having the short lengths,
or unsaleable items, piled away in the highest part of the gable or
attic or in some other inaccessible, out-of-the-way place so it is never
easily got at, to be put on an outgoing load. It is, therefore, left
there and never disturbed, and although occasionally spoken of, is
always forgotten when loading up a customer. The wide, dry drive-
ways always make a convenient and tempting place to dump loads
instead of immediately piling the material in its proper place.

The instructions were so definite that all immediately set about
putting the old yard in shape. Arrangements were made with the
drayman and all steam plants for their cinders to be hauled into the

there you have it, Mr. Lumber Salesman. In other words, sell yourself
on your own product, after which it will be far more simple to talk

Selling Methods Always Changing.

Lumber-selling methods are changing from year to year just as
are other methods changing from year to year. They have, alas! bee
the last to show improvement, because stock list order-takers ha
been among the common garden variety of sales representatives fe
twenty years, and they are still with us in vast numbers, for t
disease is almost hereditary. Happily, however, there are a few no
able exceptions rising above the rank and file. sol

As to price-cutting, I recall in those retail yard days previou:
referred to a feeling of respect for the fellow who quoted his pr
on pine and stuck to it, on the basis of intrinsic value consistent w
the current market price, and he was the one mentioned from whot
we bought the bulk of our stock from common to finish. To be a
confirmed skeptic is to keep yourself down to the ordinary leve rr

We realize that customs and habits of long standing ar
rooted and hard to change. Nor can a revolution in the old or

stock list order taking method. Yet the majority of stock is
that basis to-day. Hence why cointinue it? The lumber sellin
to-day offers magnificent opportunities for original thinking,
ideas, and distinguished accomplishment in salesmanship.

In conclusion, I would again emphasize that you talk uses
not prices, and, above all things, remember that it takes 150 years
a tree to grow and mature to the lumber-cutting stage, and that
therefore is utterly impossible to present adequately the worth

What was done in Northern Alberta with so little outlay can
be done at every retail lumber yard in the prairie provinces and all
can have a yard as satisfactory and attractive if they will only put
forth the effort.

Spruce from Forest

Description of Processes of Manufacture of White Spruce as Found in
Western Canada—Some of the Difficulties Encountered

By John P.

The man who contemplates building a home for himself, whether
on the prairie or in the city, gives but little thought of the operation
involved which enables him to go to the nearest lumber yard and pick
out just what material he requires for his building purposes. He buys
his white spruce drop siding, flooring, ceiling, dimension and boards,
and notices the smooth finish of the lumber, but he seldom stops to

think of the hard work and the many difficulties that must be over-
‘come before this spruce can be converted into what is displayed for

‘sale at the lumber yard.
Vast stretches of land in Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan

-are covered with as fine specimens of white spruce as anyone could
-wish to see. Last winter I had the opportunity of observing the log-

ging operations of one of the largest mills in the Middle West, namely,
the Finger Lumber Company, Limited, the Pas, Man.

I shall endeavor to give you a brief description of their logging
as I saw it.

The Finger Lumber Company’s timber limits are located along
the Carrot and Saskatchewan Rivers and at present the company is

_ operating on the Carrot River and on the Sipanock Channel which

connects the Carrot and Saskatchewan. The logging operations are
planned a year ahead. The first man sent out is the cruiser and camp
locator. This man locates the places most suitable for building the
camps so that they will be within easy reach of as large a growth of
timber as possible, as the aim is to have one camp last several years.
The cruiser also locates the main log roads and the branch roads lead-
ing into the timber..-.

As early as July the company commences to ship supplies up the
river, such as oats, provisions of all descriptions, and also a quantity

‘of iron. In fact everything necessary for the operation of a modern

logging camp is hauled up. The items required are numerous and it

‘takes a man with a clear head to figure out the right quantities. These

supplies are shipped by water in large barges towed by steamers and
are unloaded at a central warehouse from which they are delivered to
the camps as needed during the winter.

The first men are sent into the woods during August and Sep-
tember, and their task is building the camp. The camp is sometimes
built of logs and sometimes of lumber from the mill. The camp con-
sists of several buildings: the sleeping camp, the kitchen, the barns,
blacksmith shop, warehouses, filing shack, office, etc., but the men are
experienced and work with a will and the invigorating air gives them
zeal and energy so that it takes but a short time to finish the construc-

‘tion of the camp. The next step is a very important one, namely, that

of making the roads. As has already been stated, the roads were lo-
cated by the company cruiser and the main logging road leads from

a convenient place within the limit to be operated to the bank of the

river. From this main road the branch roads lead conveniently to
the timber and serve as feeders to the main road. A modern logger

ter the roads are kept constantly repaired by sprinkling water over
them and this is done mostly during the night to avoid interfering
with hauling the logs.

As soon as the roads are made the cutting of the timber com-

takes great care in making roads, especially the main roads. They
must be graded and levelled and are provided with a rut wide enough
for the sleigh runners. When the ground freezes, the road is iced,
that is, a big water tank drawn by four to six horses and provided with
sprinklers is ‘continually hauled over the road; the water quickly
freezes and a glaring ice road is the result. On this ice road it is‘an
easy matter for two horses to draw loads containing from 12,000 to
15,000 feet and weighing something like fifty tons. During the win-
sawed into lengths of twelve feet and longer. The skidders follow
the sawyers. The skidders’ work consists of dragging the logs to the
skidways along the branch roads. Horses are used for this work. As
soon as the logs have been placed on the skidway they are loaded
upon the logging sleighs and this loading is done with what is called
a log jammer, a tripod-shaped structure with block and line. The logs
are piled on the sleigh seven or eight tiers high, each tier being se-
curely fastened with chain. As soon as the sleigh is loaded it starts

for the landing where the logs are released and placed on roll ways

which stretch across the river. This operation is seen in illustration

No. 1. The logs which have been rolled on to the river may be seen
_in the second illustration.

In a brief way, this is what I observed on the trip to Finger Lum-
ber Company’s camps, but no description in this journal can convey
to the reader the difficulties connected with the work. One must re-
member these camps are located as much as a hundred miles from a
railroad station and it is, therefore, necessary during the logging sea-
son to maintain a line of communication with teams in such a way
that the camps are at least within tri-weekly communication with the
outside world.

It was a pleasure to note the fine camp buildings provided for the
men. Each camp has about 125 men and with such a large number it
is not easy to keep a good sanitary condition, but the daily visits of
the camp doctor were sufficient stimulus to the men in charge of the
camp to keep everything in the most perfect sanitary condition. It was
interesting to watch the men come into camp at night. They had the
elastic, springing walk of the experienced woodsman. They were a
hearty looking lot of men and they certainly enjoyed the appetizing
victuals provided by the chef of the camp and I assure your readers
that the most exacting epicure would have relished the food with
which the tables were loaded. There was vegetable soup, roast beef,
potatoes, turnips, pies and cakes of every description, most delight-
ful bread, and coffee and tea. After the meal the men spent their
time in reading, smoking, mending their clothes, or telling yarns
around the camp fire.

I have endeavored to give your readers some little idea of how
White Saskatchewan Spruce is logged, but the logging is only one
stage of the operations necessary to provide the farmer on the prairie
with building material. When the logging operations are finished,
the driving commences. Driving-in the Carrot River is comparatively
easy, as the banks are high and there are no lakes to cross. The logs
float down with the spring flood and are placed in booms at the mouth
of the Carrot River and thus ends the woods operations.

Next comes the towing of the logs to the mill and converting
them into lumber. :

Cost of Machinery

In connection with factory costs, there is a difficult problem for
every manufacturer to work out, and that is the cost of machinery.
What is meant by this is not the original cost of any given machine,
but the proportional cost of the item of machinery for doing any given
work. This must, necessarily, include the cost of machinery as com-
pared to the work it does, the life of a machine or the amount of de-
preciation in value each year, and the chance, meantiime, of some
‘other more up-to-date machine being invented, necessitating the re-
placing of the machine before it has really served its time.

It is considered that machinery depreciates about ten per cent.
each year. This is, in substance, that the life of a machine should
be reckoned at about ten years. This may be a fair average, but it is
not conclusive. There are machines in use today that are seventy-
five years old. Other machines are sometimes ruined through acci-
dent or something of the kind inside of five years. Some machines
wear out very rapidly. Others last as long as a man. Estimates are
complicated by the claims made for some new machinery that it will
pay for itself in a very limited ‘time.

The matter of machinery paying for itself raises a complicated
question. It goes without saying that every machine must pay for
itself in a certain length of time. Otherwise, it is a loss. But to
make it pay for itself, a certain amount each year must be allowed
to the machine for its share of the work, just as so much.is allowed
for the machinist. This is one way of looking at it. There is another
way. There are those who say that improved machinery will do more
work than others previously in use at the same labor cost. This is
frequently true, but it, like lots of other truisms, depends to a certain
extent, on other things.

In the first place, if it effects a saving over the old machine, you
will have an advantage in first cost until your competitor puts in the
new machine also. Then the situation changes. You haven’t any
more advantage over the other man in the business than you formerly
had, and the benefits that accrue from the saving go to the world
in general by cheapening the articles produced. This is one of the
inevitable results of competition, and is a point which must be con-
sidered in deciding whether or not a machine will pay for itself on
the basis of its work compared to the work of the older machines.

Another factor is the possibility of some other machine being
invented soon after this new one is installed. This other machine
may offer such advantages over the new one that it will become neces-
sary to make a change before the machine has had time to pay for
itself. In this case, if you don’t buy the new machine, you are left
behind by your competitor, who will get it and then have the advantage
over you. It is easy to see, therefore, that this matter of the cost
of machinery, and of machines paying for themselves, is a subject
in which one may get tangled—Hardwood Record.

“Every ton of coal mined in the United States requiries the

ordinarily known as pit props, timber sets, brattices, aa 2 -

New Horizontal Resaw With Interior Return Rolls

If one were to pay a visit to all the sawmills of over 50,000 feet
daily capacity that have been erected during the past five years he
could not fail to notice the prominent place given the sawmill resaw
on the mill floor, or the important part it plays in the mill’s operations.

The day is fast passing in mills of any size wherein the log is cut
to the Jast board on the head rig, for mill men have been quick to
realize the value of the heavy duty resaw as a manufacturer of lumber
and have incorporated it in their operations.

The sawmill resaw, whether vertical or horizontal, has easily
proven its worth as a lumber producer, and as such is running neck
and neck with the head rig for the position of first importance in the
~ mill. Of course, the head rig has the advantage of being the one
_ indispensable machine in any mill, a position from which it will pro-

_ bably never be driven, but as the real lumber producer it is fast being
distanced by the heavy duty resaw.
, 3 As is well known, sawmill resaws are divided into two well-
, defined classes, viz.: vertical and horizontal, the usefulness of each
being dependent upon the log conditions. Thus, generally speaking,
_ the vertical machine works out to the best advantage where the logs
_.are of the best grade and where it is desirable to saw as much to grade
as possible. In such operations the log will usually be cut to the best
grades on the head rig, and the material in the form of deals of double
_ thickness will be sent to the vertical resaw for centre sawing. This
method relieves the head rig of one-half the cutting lines and, gen-
erally speaking, doubles the possible output of the mill.
Where the logs are small or of inferior quality the usual practice
is to install a horizontal resaw, to which may be fed all material that
_ may be dropped from the head rig—the only requirement of such

Infeed End of Yates Type H 61 Horizontal Resaw.

‘material being one sawed surface. Thus a log of small diameter
might be cut through its centre and the two halves passed to the
orizontal resaw for completion; or, in case of a larger log, it could
be heavy slabbed and the slabs cut into boards on the resaw, while
the balance of the log could be cut to grade on the head rig and the
‘deals sent to the horizontal machine for resawing.

_ Horizontal resaws operating on slabs and half logs require some
_ provision for returning the uncut portion of the slab to the infeed end
_ after each successive board is taken off.

In mills where sufficient floor space is available the uncut material
‘is returned on a line of live rolls and transfer chains placed alongside
the resaw. An installation of this kind encounters no serious obstacle
‘in the mill wherein the resaw has received consideration in the mill
plans, but the limited floor space of many existing mills offers no
Opportunity for returning stock in this manner. Many mill men who
have recognized the advantages of the horizontal resaw have been
deprived of its use owing to this lack of sufficient floor space.

_ The accompanying engravings illustrates a new addition to the
Yates type H6 series of horizontal resaws, which has been introduced
to facilitate the return of uncut material to the infeed operator by
sing it back directly through the machine instead of returning it
the customary circuitous route around the mill on a long line of
rolls.

_ To accomplish this the machine which has been named the Type
61 is built with two sets of rolls, revolving in opposite directions.
ne set, the feeding rolls, is mounted in the standard Type H6 man-
elow the saw line in an adjustable frame that may be raised and
d to secure the desired thickness of lumber. The other set—the

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 37

returning rolls—is mounted above the saw line in a similar but sta-
tionary frame and driven at a slightly faster rate than the feeding
rolls.

The advantage of a horizontal band resaw, as before mentioned,
lies in its ability to manufacture material of the lower grades, i.e.,
small diameter logs and slabs, into lumber at a lower cost than it can
be produced on the head rig.

The capaciy of such a machine is governed by the ability of the
men and equipment to properly take care of the stock leaving it. In
all ordinary operations such material is delivered to three outlets, viz.:
the cut board is sent to the gang edger, the slab to the refuse slasher,
and the remaining uncut portion is returned to the infeed operator to
be passed through the machine for a second or third time.

In actual operation it has been very closely determined that a
horizontal resaw carrying 6-foot wheels and a 10-inch blade is capable
of receiving the average mill run stock at a rate of 250 feet per minute.
This speed will permit handling only one piece at a time, but if the
saw is kept continually in the cut a great capacity is obtained. To
illustrate: If an uninterrupted average cut of 12-inch material is made,
a well-built machine of this type will produce 15,000 feet of lumber
per hour. ] |

To assist materially the off-bearers this latest machine of the
Type H6 Series is designed to return the uncut material in as conven-
ient and direct a manner as possible. The uncut section is rolled from
the top of the cut section on to the returning roll, where it is imme-
diately returned to the operator’s position at a slightly faster rate of
travel than the feed. ,

In completing this arrangement the wheel centres of the original
Type H6 machine have not been changed. These were positioned to
receive the shortest saw practical, and when in their normal position
the wheel rims are but two feet apart. With this close spacing it is
possible to feed a maximum width of 24 inches and at the same time

Outfeed End of Yates Type H61 Horizontal Resaw.

return a maximum width of 20 inches, or vice versa, as the stock may
overlap without interference. Slabs wider than this will not ordin-
arily leave the head rig, as it is usually considered poor practice to
slab so thickly that a slab of over 24-inch width will be produced from
any log.

The advantages of a machine of this particular kind will be
instantly realized by practical mill men. It materially simplifies the
conveyor and transfer system of the mill and reduces to a minimum
the floor space required—Yates Quality.

Australia’s Imports of Timber

Australia’s imports of timber from Canada during 1912, 1913, and
1914-15 were valued as follows: 1912, £70,922; 1913, £67,982; 1914-15,
£17,653. Imports of wood manufactures from Canada during the
same years were valued as follows: 1912, £2,850; 1913, £4,077;
1914-15, £3,909. Imports of printing paper from Canada were valued
as follows: 1912, £179,173; 1913, £149,050; 1914-15, £122,688.

The imports of timber from the United States during these years
were valued as follows: 1912, £1,314,314; 1913, £1,511,665; 1914-15,
£1O2b ATS.

Through the incidence of the war and abnormal marine freight
rates the total imports of timber (lumber) into Australia declined from
£2,922,578 in 1913 to £2,153,469 in 1914-15, the contraction in values
being no less than £769,109. Imports from Canada declined by

Review of Current Trade Conditions —

Ontario

The lumber trade in Ontario continues in the peculiar state
which has characterized it for some weeks past. The demand cannot
be said to be good. It is best described as patchy. The supply of
lumber, however, is short, on account of the scarcity of labor at the
mills. Stocks are a great deal shorter than is usual at this time of
year. The result is that wholesalers are finding it increasingly diffi-
cult to obtain such stocks as the limited amount of trade requires.
The prospects of the mills in northern Ontario securing a sufficient
supply of bushmen for next winter’s operations are very slim. Some
of them have appealed to the Government for assistance, but, so far
as we can learn, the Government claim to be unable to give any help.
We do not believe that relief can be expected from that quarter. The
prospects for next year’s cut are therefore anything but good. The
market generally is strong, with an average fair demand.

White pine stocks have been much reduced of late in quite a
number of lines, chiefly in dry stock, and they are likely to be reduced
even more. Most of the mills are having great trouble in continuing
operations. Many of them report that they do not know at night
time each day whether they will be able to run the mill during the
following day. Scarcely any of them can give prompt shipment.
At most of the mills the men are doing double duty whenever pos-
sible, the crews working both upon running the mill during the day
and loading the cars at night.

There is no feature worthy of note in regard to the demand. As
usual at this time of year it is quiet. Wholesalers and retailers, how-
ever, are expecting that some improvement will develop before long.
There is no expectation of a big trade during the fall, but the prospects
are for a fair demand which will show some increase over present
conditions. Wholesalers and retailers will find that they must be
patient with the manufacturers and the railroads for some time to
come. The railway companies are also up against the labor situation
and on account of the exceptional congestion of traffic at Allandale,
deliveries from northern Ontario points are greatly delayed.

The hardwood trade, like that in soft woods is very spotty, but
this is always to be expected during July and August. There is no
surplus of stock, and prices are about as stiff as they have been.
Moreover, the prospect is that they will advance. ‘The threatening
strike of railroad employees in the United States is a-factor that
should be watched carefully. The effect, if a strike is brought about,
would be to advance prices greatly, on account of the stoppage of
deliveries. Flood conditions in the south have retarded cutting opera-
tions to some extent, making a shortage of logs, which is an added
factor in the firmness of the market, in the face of a quiet demand.

Eastern Canada

There is no change to report in trade conditions at Montreal.
The volume of trade is only moderate, most of it being for shell box
business. Wholesalers are expecting advanced prices on account of
the increased cost of labor and camp supplies. The export trade to
the United States shows a little improvement. Trade with the United
Kingdom has fallen off to some extent, largely on account of the
uncertainty in the freight situation.

The demand for shingles at Boston is fair, but there is not much
in the way of business in large lots. Most of the current transactions
are for white cedars, the best of which are bringing about $3.50. Red
cedar shingles are selling at about 40 or 45 cents above the prices for
‘white cedars. Lath are firm, quite a number of enquiries having come
from large yards. Offerings are not so large as a short time ago.
There is a good demand for spruce lath which is bringing about $4
for the best grades.

The deal market at St. John, N. B., shows no more activity than
it did a fortnight ago. No shipments are being made, buyers prefer-
ring to pile such stock as they have purchased, and to wait until
they can get prices that will give them a profit. At present prices
they would not be able to get their money back. The American
market has gone very flat and two of the largest mills at St. John
which were sawing for this market, have been closed down since the
first of August. Freight rates for transatlantic and coastwise ship-
ments continue high and accommodation is scarce. Local trade at
St. John is very quiet. Low grade stocks are easier in price. The
only line of business that seems to have any real life in it is the box
industry.

Probably the most important feature in connection with the lu

Prices are steady and the outlook is for continued strong prices
ing the remainder of the season. Trade conditions in the h
business are closely associated with crop conditions and as th
look in the latter regard is excellent there is good cause for encou
ment regarding the lumber trade. The demand for northern
Chicago is steady and prices are unchanged. An increased der
expected in the very near future. Low grade stocks are moving

Hardwoods show no important changes during the past fortnig
Furniture factories are renewing their purchases to a small e¢
and there is some trade in other lines which gives a fairly active
pearance to the whole market. Manufacturing plants in all pa
the country are busy, most of them producing to their capacity,
that the demand for hardwoods is likely to continue. Stocks throug
out producing territories are not heavy. Many producers have
difficulty in securing sufficient labor and some have been obliged
shut down. It is even expected that the labor situation may -
duce an upward price tendency. Birch and maple are in good
mand and prices are strong. ‘here is also a little revival in the ¢
mand for oak. ; —

Great Britain j

Much uncertainty prevails in connection with the lumber tr.
at London, a result chiefly of the unsettled condition of the fr
market. Very little is being done in the way of speculating in fu
stocks, most merchants being quite content to delay until the posi
has been cleared up to some extent. Official requirements, howe
are still consuming large quantities. The continually increasing
lation of prisoners in England is again resulting in a demand fo

Market Correspondence

St. John Trade—Everybody Marking Time

St. John, N. B., August 7th; (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :
There has been positively no change in the deal market at St. John
during the past fortnight, everything in the way of shipments is at a
standstill, and, so far as can be told, shows no signs of changing. The
buyers refuse to purchase and are shipping no deals; preferring to
pile off cars into yards, there to be held until they can sell at a price
which will give them a reasonable profit. They cannot sell today at
a price which would give them their money back. Stocks at Liver-
pool and Manchester remain about the same as last year, but condi-
tions for using stocks in England are not nearly so favorable as a
year ago. Labor is at a premium and many wood users are out of
business, and will be until the end of the war.

Two of the largest mills at St. John, Messrs. Stetson, Cutler
and Company’s are idle, having closed down on the Ist of August,
and, although well supplied with logs, they do not know when they
will again begin sawing. These mills were sawing largely stock for
the American market, for which, at the present time there is very
little demand. :

Another great trouble is the high priced and scarce freight ac-
commodation. The market in New York will not stand a high freight
rate today, and vessels refuse to take less than $6 per thousand, which
is about twice the usual rate.

The building trades at St. John are also stagnant, but not to the
same extent as the shippers. Very few contractors are busy, and those
who are, have only small works, and repairs from place to place.
Prices for low grade stocks are easier, the mills being overstocked with
refuse, which is selling from the country mills at about $9 free from
cars. Usually we begin to feel a better tone after this month, and it
is to be hoped that this year will be no exception.

Laths and shingles are in the same condition as the rest of the
market.

The box trades are the only ones who are busy in the lumber
trade, and they surely deserve it, as they have had a good number
of years of small profits and bad conditions.

Montreal Trade on a Quiet Basis

Montreal, August 8.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)—
Practically no change in market conditions has taken place since the
last report. A moderate trade is being transacted, with a few orders
on shell box account. Wholesalers emphasize the probability of a
rise in values, the cost of labor and camp supplies being serious factors
in this situation. Collections in Montreal are reported to be poor, but
in the province they are fairly satisfactory.

There is complaint of a shortage of cars, especially on the Inter-
colonial.

Business with the United States has picked up slightly. ‘The
break in the Lachine Canal disorganized water shipments for a time,
but the condition is now practically normal, the break having been
temporarily repaired.

There is no alteration in the pulp and paper markets.
still in good demand, with the supply on the short side. A consider-
able amount is still being sent to Great Britain. The ground wood
market is also strong. Newsprint is firm, and is likely to continue so
for some time. The decision of the New York papers to cut down the

Sulphite is

size of their Sunday editions is evidence of the increasing difficulty of

obtaining supplies and of the substantial increase in prices.

Lumber exports to the United Kingdom have decreased. The
state of the British market just now is not encouraging, buyers being
influenced by the uncertainty of the freight situation. The prohibition
of building operations in the United Kingdom except under Govern-
ment license is also calculated to affect Canadian shipments adversely.
The Government takes the view that only absolutely necessary build-
ings, including dock and similar work, can be allowed. Rates show
little fluctuation, but there is no telling when they will fise or fall.
Space is by no means plentiful for lumber, other commodities with a
preference going forward in large quantities. Several lake vessels of

and most of the consigned stock is being stored on importers
shippers’ account. Buyers are still nervous about the freight sits
tion, and are only dealing on a strictly hand-to-mouth basis. Stock
have accumulated to some extent, but prices are not noticeabh
weaker. Stocks in second hands are exeeptionally light, and an
demands which arise will have to be filled almost entirely fror
importers’ stocks in public yards. a

Cost Accounting in the Factory
By J. D. Clark

a he operator of a planing mill, dimension mill, or other wood.
working plant where “jobs” rather than regular work are handled,
naturally finds the cost-keeping problem more difficult than is com:
fronted in the furniture factory which is turning out the same goods
right along. Of course, the problems of the furniture man are no
simple, because the number of items produced is great enough to s
gest the necessity of discriminating in figuring costs, and it is need
to know just how much expense is attached to the produc tion of €
item.

On the other hand, the planing mill which gets work by biddin
on it in competition with others must find out to the last cent hé

logical to-learn the results of each operation, if for no other re
than to determine whether the original estimate was correct, an
guide against possible repetition of errors. So also with the di
sion factory which is cutting lumber to size for use in some o
woodworking plant. If it has a large cutting order there is a good
chane eof overlooking certain items and of assuming that a price whieh
is’ really insufficient to pay all the charges will cover the reas ire-
ments.

’ ‘The dimension proposition is newer than the planing mill, and it in
view of the rapid growth of this kind of business it may be of interes:

operated. The plan is not put forward as ideal, but is certainly a big
improvement over the rough-and-tumble, hit-or-miss methods whic
often prevail, especially when the dimension business is operated in
connection with a sawmill, as is usually the case.

In the first place, the correct basis of the proposition is obtained
by figuring the cost of the lumber at the price which would be paid if
the manufacturer went into the market for it. In a lot of cases where

manufacturing, the tendency is to disregard the value of the materiz
Obviously this is not a correct method of procedure, since the objec!

take aceount of the, original intrinsic value of the raw material is not

: If the material is kiln-dried, as is usually the case when dimen-
sion stock is manufactured to order, the cost of drying is included, thi
averaging about $3 per 1,000 feet. That is the usual custom charge
and ‘while an individual manufacturer operating his own kilns should
be able to do the work for somethisg less, it will not miss this figure
much by the time the cost of handling, which is a big item in kiln
drying operations, is taken into account.

The system referred to is handled by means of a loose-leaf ledger
each job being figured on its own page. The idea is to enable th
manufacturer to go over the whole proposition and see just how much
he has made or lost on each job. This is a big advantage, comparec
with the ordinary system of grouping expenses without reference té
their application to various jobs.

The first item on the page is rough lumber. The date and quam
tity of each kind and grade of lumber delivered for dimension ee
facing are shown, together with prices, enabling the value of t
material te. be calculated accurately. As suggested, the cost of kiln
drying is included, this being added to the market price of the sto
without the K. D. feature being taken into account. '
, The labor costs involved in the work are then figured in detail
columns being provided for “Cross-cutting labor,” “Ripping labor,
“Resaw labor,” “Inspecting labor,” and “Bundling labor.” — This, i
should be noted, applies to labor expense only, a separate calculatior
being made to cover machine expense. The labor costs are deter
mined by the use of time- cards: for each employe, whose records sk OV
just how much time was put in on each job, and therefore what pra
portion of his wages is chargeable to that job. The jobs, it should i
added, are handled in the dimension plant by number only, so th 2
none of the hands is advised regarding the destination of the materia

The.labor expense is handled more easily in this bar
by reason of the fact that the machine hands and inspectors i
hy the piece, so there is no difficulty about figuring the actual ¢ co!
which is to besincluded on each job. The inspection feature BT as
course, important in this kind of work, as one of the troubles w
many plants have in making good with customers is due to the
that a lot of mutertal is shipped which is not up to specifications.
means that in order to get results the inspection work must be pr
perly taken care of. Inspection in this case does not mean tech
inspection for, the purpose of determining grade, but is used to
whether the material is clear and whether the eeneral character
appearance-of the’stock is up to the specifications. The plan of payir
so much per thousand. pieces for inspection suggests a possible te
dency to speed at the expense of care; but of course any comple
regarding the stock are immediately put up to the inspector, who fe
this resdf is*honid to be careful in going poe es the stock before
is bundled and shipped.:.

' the calculation of those general figures that errors are introduce

’ the sheet, is cost.

August 15, 19 16

to analyze this, power and machinery expense heing grouped a
applied against all of the work done by means of some general or over
head charge. But there is as much individuality in machines as there
is in men, and the plan used in the plant now under consideration,
whereby the cost of operating ¢ach machine for each job is carefull
calculated, seems to be by far the better system. ;

In the first place, the rate is determined by figuring the total capa
city of the machine per year—that is, the normal number of hours
may be expected to operate. This is based on actual tests, and tak
ito account loss of time for repairs, adjustments, etc. Then t
value of the machine is considered, and the expense represented
interest, depreciation, and other charges is figured. Tests are z
made to determine the power consumption, and if electric motors”
used the current consumed can be actually measured and a defit
figure secured for this. 1f steam power is used, the power being tra
mitted from the engine by mechanical means, the distribution of
expense would, of course, be harder to figure, and might have te
applied on a pro rata basis.

The point to be kept in mind, however, is that the object Ht
accounting should be to get away from the use of general charge:
much as possible, and to substitute individual items, because it i

to the actual variations in the capacity, efficiency, etc., of varie
machines. Putting each machine, each man, and each job on a bas
determined by the facts in each case is the only logical plan. ;

In the plant referred to the rate per hour for each machine is eal
culated on the basis suggested, so that by having a record of the
ber of hours each machine works on each job the cost of the mz '
time applicable to it may be entered with the assurance that it will f
very close to the correct data. m

As pointed out above, the rate for machine time is based on
assumption that the time used will be normal. If the plant happe
run overtime, this, of course, reduces the cost to the manufacturer
the normal rate is used, as it would be unfair to allow a cu
whose work was done at night a lower rate than that applied to
manufacture of goods in regular hours. Such an unearned inere
as this, it is also worth noting, might serve to offset unexpected losses
of time due to breakdowns of more than the usual importance.

The record for the finished stock is analyzed with reference to th
number of pieces produced, the amount of lumber used, the waste, anc
hence the net results in thousands of feet. The sales price is indicated
on this calculation, with the sales value in terms of feet. ae

In this particular mill an effort is made to dispose of the waste and
offal of the plant, and a careful record is also kept in this respect. I
shows the character and quantity of all the material, with the iny
tory value, this being credited to the job against which it is figur
These figures are unusually valuable, because they serve not only as an
inventory of the waste (which otherwise would be hard to secure), but
also provide a basis for determining the average waste to be allo
for in the manufacture of the finished product.

The whole job is recapitulated om the same sheet. The gross sales
value of the finished stock is shown, together with the allowar
made for freight and other items. Space is provided to enable
freight to be figured, as many of the sales made by this concern are
a basis of delivered prices, and it is necessary that the transportat on
cost be shown here in order to enable the net results of the job to be
determined. The net sales value, after making the deductions in¢ i-
cated. is then entered.

The next item, determined from the figures already entered on
This includes lumber, which is analyzed as fol-
lows: Total cost of lumber sent to sawyers, less rough lumber laid
out or left over; gross lumber actually used, less shorts and reusa
offal produced. The result of this calculation is the net cost of
lumber. The manufacturing expense is then figured, the items here
being as follows: Cross-cutting labor, cross-cutting machine cost and
burden; ripping labor, ripping machine cost and burden; resawing
labor, resawing machine cost and burden; inspecting labor; bun
labor ; miscellaneous labor; loading labor; hauling labor and expe
The total thus secured gives the total manufacturing and shipp
cost, including the cost of the lumber shown above. ‘ -

The total cost of the product shipped, which means with th
freight allowance included, is then secured by adding the lumber
manufacturing cost, and the result is compared with the net sales vz
realized (already calculated) to determine the gross profit or loss 6
the order. This is gross for the reason that the general selling ¢€
penses, which are figured in percentage on the total sales, must —
deducted. After this is figured the result is the net profit or loss |
the job. 7

One other calculation which is made—and one that would b
interesting if available to every woodworker—is to show the correct
price based on these cost figures. The total cost shipped is enter
plus selling expense, plus cash discounts, plus freight allowance, the
result being the correct delivered price. That enables the sheet to be
referred to from time to time when repeat orders are secured,
insure the right quotations being made on the job.—The Woodworker,

Stationary Engineers’ Supplies on Exhibit

An attractive exhibition was held in Montreal recently in
connection with the annual convention of the Canadian Association
of Stationary Engineers. Belting, packings, and fire hose of all kinds
formed the main proportion of the exhibits.

Sadler and Haworth, of Montreal, had a decidedly novel method
of demonstrating the quality of their ‘‘Amphibia” waterproof belting.
A belt was fitted to a shafting and run continuously through a tank
of water, so that visitors could judge of the validity of the claims
made. <A tanned skin showing the part of the leather used in making
a belt was shown, together with various lines of belting and many
samples of mill supplies, such as dressings, fasteners, and lace leathers.

Darling Brothers, Ltd., Montreal, showed several appliances,
including centrifugal and rotary pumps and Webster heating system.

The Dunlop Tire and Rubber Goods Company, Ltd., Toronto,
made a feature of their Gibraltar red special belting, and also had on
view several lines of packings and fire hose.

The Garlock Packing Company, Hamilton, exhibited many varie-
ties of steam, hydrant, and other packings. The company are exclusive
packing manufacturers, and report a large increase in business,

The booth of the Gutta Percha and Rubber Company, Ltd.,
‘Toronto, showed many of the company’s well-known brands. Belting,
packing, fire hose, rubber tiles, and sheet packing were well displayed.

The James Morrison Brass Manufacturing Company, Ltd., Tor-
onto, had a well-arranged exhibit, containing valves, locomotive in-
jectors, steam regulating and safety valves, etc.

Why Lumber Dealers Should Know How to Read Blue Prints

I will tell what I think of a dealer being able to read blue prints
or having someone in his yard who can do it. One day a woman came
to my office with a set of blue prints for a house she wanted to build.
She asked me if I could make up the bill of material from the plans,
and said she had called at both other yards in the town to have this
done and was told at both places that she would have to get a car-
penter to do it. I told her I had a man who could take off the bill.
I called in the young man, set him to work, and in a couple of hours
he had the bill all ready with the prices. She asked me if she could
have it. I asked whether she thought it would be fair after we had
spent a couple of hours on it, to let her take it to our competitors
for them to figure against me, when they had been unable to make

anteed ?

lumber, let her then take the bill to whoever she might want to, gel
estimates, and if any prices were out of line I would adjust the

ter to her satisfaction. She said, “Well, I guess your prices are al
right; just take the order.”

That set of plans had been sent to the woman by a ready-et
house concern, or a mail order house. hey made her a price on th
inaterial bill, but did not, of course, send her the itemized bill+the
isn’t their way of doing things. Two of the lumber dealers in her tow
couldn’t make up the bill of material. ‘They had no chance to get t
business. The other dealer, the live wire, could make up the mater
bill and he got the order. y

And listen—his price to the customer, at his regular retail pri
were lower than the ready-cut house people had quoted her.

This proves that it is easy for the local dealer to get the busin
if he knows how to figure. The mail order houses and the ready
house concerns send out plans. They send them out broadcast. Th
quote a lump sum price for the materials. They know if the local deg
ers have a chance at the itemized bill the lumber will be bought ;

Decreased Trade in Lumber

Tire lumber trade in France during 1915 was affected unfavorabh
by the war conditions. While the consumption of wood for the con

the building trade, there were large orders placed by the military
authorities and by contractors engaged in work for the Government
On account of the abnormal oversea freight situation the congestion
of the home ports, the extraordinary rise in freight rates, and the Higt
rate of exchange, the foreign trade, both as to imports and exports
fell off as compared with the previous year, and the prices were con
siderably increased. The imports of wood for construction purpose
in 1915 were 380,805 metric tons, against 821,920 tons in 1914; fe
cabinetmaking, 14,209 tons, against 63,208 tons; and staves, 26,07

The Abitibi Pulp & Paper Company, Limited, report that their loss in :
the Northern Ontario bush fires was fully covered by insurance, and operations
were only interrupted for a comparatively short time. The company lost
about 20 houses at Iroquois Falls, together with 20,000 cords of pulpwood.
Their limits suffered only slightly and the interruption in the operation of their —
plant was caused by the destruction of their stock of pulpwood ready for
the mill. i

The sawmill, stave mill, heading mill, hoop mill, planing mill, machine
shop, dry kilns and other buildings comprising the plant of the Feasertodl
Timber Company, at Fesserton, Ont., were completely destroyed by fire
at about midnight on August 5th. The loss included four cars of lumber
which had been dressed in transit, two cars of timber, two cars of 1% inch |
hoop plank, one car of heading, one car of staves and a quantity of other
material, all of which had been accumulated on account of the great scarcity
of labor. lf the company had had a sufficient staff of employees they would
not have accumulated so much material in the neighborhood of the mill. In_
their dry kilns they also had a large quantity of staves and heading which
were undergoing treatment. A number of wagons and other equipment were
also destroyed. The fire was confined to the boundaries of the fire limits
around the plant, none of the stock piled in the yard having been destroyed.
In the yard the company have some 3,000,000 feet of lumber, 2,000,000 staves
and other manufactured stock. The loss by fire amounts to about $80,000,
which was partly insured. Mr. W. W. Carter, president of the company,
has not definitely made up his mind regarding rebuilding, but it is expected |
that a new plant will be built during the coming winter. t

A Successful Dry Kiln

Here’s what a manufacturer of pianos and organs says of a

Trade Mark

“We have two dry-kilns which are operated in this manner, one along
side of the other; one in which we place the green lumber that is shipped
us, what is usually called shipping dry. This stock is all steamed beiore
the suction fan is placed on it. The other kiln we use for lumber that
has been on stick on our yard for from one to two years, and on this we
do not apply any steam, simply running it through in about ten days
for immediate use. The green lumber, however, tn the other kiln is
steamed several days and is put through drying apparatus for about three
weeks before it is taken out. We have never had any case hardening using
this method, neither have we had any warping, in fact, we are perfectly
satisfied with the results.”

We can quote you dozens of cases where our Kilns are giy-
ing excellent service.

Talk it over with one of our dry-

ing engineers or get catalog 220-C.

RCES : PRECISI

Bankers Often Make a
Loan Solely on a

Lacey Report

Many bankers will hardly con-
sider making a loan in the absence of a
favorable LACEY REPORT. Hav-
ing made unsatisfactory transactions on
the basis of an ordinary “‘timber cruise”’
they are, not unnaturally, disposed there-
after toseek the nearest possible approach to
scientufic knowledge of the facts. This is to
be found in a full LACEY REPORT.

While not all bankers are as yet
sufficiently well versed in timber matters
to appreciate fully the security offered them by
the facilities of Lacey & Company, the posses-
sion of a full and favorable LACEY RE-
PORT on your holdings will usually greatly
enhance their value as a basis for financial
transactions,

Of course there are several de-
grees of completeness of LACEY
REPORTS determined by requirements and
cost. Careful bankers, therefore, (like careful

OPERATING OVER

LONGEST SINGLE SPAN

IN THE WORLD

Skidding Logs over 3800 feet

‘ Lidgerwood ” Cableway Skidders have two exclusive and patented features
and these are essential to the success of this style of lumbering.

1.—‘‘Lidgerwood” Cableway Skidders have a mechanical slack puller. The
buggy is held stationary while the mechanical slack puller pays out all
slack required in the skidding line to reach logs lying at a distance each

side of skidder.

2.—‘‘Lidgerwood” Cableway Skidders have a two speed device on the engine
which returns the buggy to the woods at high speed.

We have paid special attention to the construction of Cableway Skidders re-
quired by conditions in British Columbia and the most successful machines
now in use in that province were installed by us.

the old method the heel would come down, and in a short time the wearer would
be walking on it, wearing out the stitching, thus causing it to leak and rip. With
the new process the heel will not flatten out, will always keep its shape, and ihere
are no seams whatever, making a clean smooth Ripless and Waterproof heel.

Made only in the highest quality, all heights of leg, with or without soles or heels.

Why You Should Use It

Klim is in dry powder form.

Klim is not affected by heat or cold.

Klim is cheaper than fresh liquid milk.

Klim is about half the price of Condensed Milk.
Klim is about a third the weight of Condensed Milk.
Klim has the flavor of fresh liquid milk.

our model factories.

The Smart-Woods Company for
many years has supplied lumber-
men, sportsmen, etc., with a super-

tation for fair dealing and honest
merchandising has travelled from

The result has been a tremend-

creased more than four-fold in the
past few years.

lower individual costs when
production is efficiently man-
aged.

That was the idea upon which
we worked when our many plants
were organized under one manag-
ing head. Results have amply
proved our contentions.

[tower inci production means

Never before have we produced
better quality in all our many lines
of equipment for lumbermen, etc.
In the face of rising costs, which
are staggering the majority of or-
ganizations, we have brought out
our 1916 line at prices as low as
last year.

Lumbermen are quick to appre-
ciate better values in their buying.
We have the greatest assurance
from business already consumated
that the present season will out-
strip anything we have done here-
tofore.

We feel this business has
resulted first, from our reputation
for quality and fair dealing, and
second, from our exceptional values
as a direct result of our present
production methods.

British Columbia
Douglas Fir
ina
Mill Construction
Building
Being Erected in
Toronto

_ MILL CONSTRUCTION FOR 100 YEARS HAS BEEN A STANDARD TYPE OF BUILDING FOR FACTORIES,
MILLS, WAREHOUSES, AND STORES. IT IS DESERVING OF CAREFUL CONSIDERATION BY EVERY PROS-
PECTIVE BUILDER OF SUCH STRUCTURES. THE ADVANTAGES OF THE MILL CONSTRUCTION TYPE OF
BUILDING ARE :— |

eA saving of from 10 to 35 per cent. in initial cost.

2. Reduction in insurance rates. (With sprinkler system the rate on mill construction buildings is less than that for fireproof
types of buildings unsprinklered, and but slightly greater than the rate for sprinklered fireproof buildings.)

. Permits alterations and additions to be easily and cheaply made.

. It is specially adapted for structures for temporary use. Where the future development of any portion of a city cannot be
accurately forecasted, making the selection of a type of building for permanent use difficult, the adoption of the mill con-
struction type is indicated. Also where it is necessary to obtain an immediate revenue and conditions do not justify the
erection of a permanent structure, the mill construction building will best answer the purpose.

. Sanitary and healthful.

; Saving of time. Of all types of buildings the mill construction type is the most speedily erected.

- British Columbia Douglas Fir the Best Wood
for Heavy Timber Mill Construction

British Columbia Douglas Fir is the strongest wood in the world sepaiaide in abundance and in all sizes, for posts, beams,
_ girders, and slab floors. It increases in strength with seasoning to a remarkable degree. It is very free from sap, does not twist,

x and is easy to work.

sat The superiority of British Columbia Douglas Fir over other woods for mill construction is recognized by the leading engi-
neers and architects throughout ‘Canada. British Columbia Douglas Fir is obtainable in every part of Canada at favorable prices.

special message—to tell you that we purchase in a very large way
and are at all times able to make offerings of anything in the

grocery line at attractive prices, and owing to our new and modern equip-
ment are in a splendid position to render good service in connection with
any orders for goods with which you may favor us. Our business is large
enough to be run on a department plan and in consequence we are able to
specialize in all the leading lines. We have Coffee, Tea, Canned Goods,
and Dried Fruit departments, all of which are controlled by men who
are skilled in their work and are experts in their particular line.

Our coffee plant is equipped with the latest and most improved
machinery that is known to the trade, and we are able to produce as fine
an article as is possible. In Teas we are very large handlers and buying
and selling in big blocks we are enabled to pick up kinds which are par-
ticularly suited for the camp—good strong cup quality with some flavor
and at a moderate price.

In Canned Goods we are recognized as perhaps the heaviest deal-
ers in the Dominion and always have some attractive trades. You, who
are not already dealing with us, get in touch now—perhaps we can save
you some money and also give you some satisfaction.

“Swift as Lightning!”

The marvelous simplicity of the Dalton, the almost
human intelligence displayed by this wonderful ten-key
adding and calculating machine in working the most in-
tricate problems in multiplication and division that occur
daily in the lumber business, is a revelation to those
familiar only with the ordinary adding machine.

The Dalton automatically places the figures in the
proper columns,.and gives a printed record of the calcula-
-tion. On account of the extreme simplicity of operation,
jt is not merely the fastest adding and listing machine on
the market, but is also the most versatile, as it performs
any calculation required in the lumber business.

The Logging Outlook for 1916-1917

The approach of the logging season of 1916-17 finds the lumber manufacturers of Canada face to face with a series of prob-
lems such as they never had to deal with before, and for which there is little or nothing in the way of definite material upon
which to base their decisions regarding the extent of woods operations that will be advisable.

Never before have the operators experienced such a uniform series of adverse conditions relating to logging operations as
those with which they are confronted today. These conditions can be summed up briefly. In the matter of expense alone there is
| much good reason for a reduction of woods operations next winter. Labor has gone up rapidly in cost and has reached figures

that have never before been dreamed of, while at the same time, the efficiency of such labor as is available is far below what it
: has ever been before; so that a simple comparison of wages does not tell the whole story. A comparison of outlay for labor, with °
a log production, will show an astonishing state of affairs during the coming winter, if conditions continue as they are today, and
no one at present can see the slightest indication of improvement in this respect.

The cause of the increased cost of labor is understood by everyone. It is scarcity of men, resulting from the great numbers
| who have gone to the front, or have found better pay in the prcduction of munitions and other materials for which the war has

created an urgent demand. This being the case, the inclination of all lumbermen is to take the matter philosophically and to say to
' themselves that the business of the war must have first place.

For reasons of a similar nature the cost of food and equipment for lumber camps has also soared, until today food stuffs alone
are costing the camps from 25 per cent. all the way to 100 per cent. and even more, in excess of the cost in the days before the
war; and again, it is a case of looking upon the bright side of things as far as possible and considering that the high cost is, in a
measure, helping us to win the war, by maintaining steady employment for those who remain at home.

Then there is the market situation to consider. Like the other elements of the case, this is more or less of a mystery, so far as
its future course is concerned. No one has any uncertainty about actual conditions prevailing today. In connection with nearly
all markets, trade is abnormally quiet. Home consumption has been reduced to a minimum. Export trade has been spasmodic,
especially the export trade with the United States. Periods of considerable activity have been common of late months in the de-
mand from the United States, and following closely upon them have come periods of idleness, which indicate that such activity
as the United States is enjoying today is very closely regulated by the volume of orders received, or in sight, for the production of
war materials for the Allies.

The export trade with Great Britain has also been spotty, but on the whole characterized by a good demand for anything
that can be delivered; but delivery has been the fly in the ointment, as everyone knows. Many an exporter has looked across the
Atlantic, figuratively speaking, and felt that the English market resembled a fine fruit tree standing on the other side of a very high
wall.

So we do not know what the future has in store for us in any direction, and the cue for all seems to be to act as nearly as our
_ means will permit in a cautious and normal manner, so that we may be prepared to strike a happy mean, and be in shape to make
the best of whatever industrial and trade conditions develop.

It is a time for considering our business activities in the light, not only of their effect upon our own bank accounts, but,
far as possible in the light of their effect upon our whole national well-being. Manufacturers who are financially able to do
_ so, will be justified in operating to a fair extent for the sake of assisting in keeping the wheels of industry turning; and with
_ such conditions as we have today there is no reason to fear that those who do so will be the losers thereby, for unquestionably
j the output during the coming winter will be curtailed to such an extent that available supplies next year will not be too heavy
or the markets.

yi In the present issue of the Canada Lumberman we publish the views of a number of lumbermen upon this situation, and we
have gathered together also an interesting variety of descriptive and practical articles about the logging industry, which will
e our readers a good conception of its greatness and variety, and will show them, we believe, that even this time-honored in-
try in which methods have long ago reached a considerable degree of standardization, is continually developing new lines that
ilt in important progress.

The Reader’s Viewpoint on Current Topics

Shortage of Labor Creating Critical Production Situation

In the following letters we publish the opinions of a number of
well-known operators in regard to the present labor situation.
The interference with shipments which has already resulted from
labor shortage and the curtailment of output which is likely to
develop during next winter, are matters of great concern to every-
one connected with the industry. There is such unanimity of
opinion upon these points that, by presenting the views of a few

prominent operators we feel we are giving everyone in the in-
dustry a fairly complete and quite reliable review of the -situation
which will enable them to regulate their own operations more in-

telligently than would be otherwise possible. We would be glad
to have other letters upon this subject, especially from operators
who have anything valuable in the way of suggestions to make as
to the best course to pursue during the coming winter.

Wages Increased by Eighty Per Cent.

Editor Canada Lumberman:

Labor and supplies for logging operations are this year much more ex-
pensive than in former years. We find the comparisons work out about as
follows:—

1916-17 wages 1915-16 wages

Road cutters ... $30 to $33 $16 to $20
General hands ete ee ee 34 top ven 20 to 22
Log makers and reuurebers vrs 37 to 40 24 to 26
Averages )\. BN .ste alee Naat ue a ee anes 38 21
Advance 3h9..'s ..80 per cent.

The cost of Eipaliee ner year is extremely high. Pork, beef, sugar and
flour have all advanced about 100 per cent. above the prices prevailing before
the war. :

Labor, even at its higher cost, is restless, and men are hard to get who
will stay steadily at work. We feel, therefore, that the cost of logging will
be practically double what it was a year ago, and unless the price of lumber
advances in proportion (which it has shown no signs of doing so far) the
lumbermen must face a heavy loss if they take out logs this winter.

No building operations of any kind are in sight. The only markets of
any consequence seem to be in the manufacturing lines and in box making.

Pulp and paper mills seem to be getting advances in box price of their
finished product, corresponding with the increased cost, and so they can pay
these higher rates, but up to date, no considerable advance has occurred in
the price of lumber. The writer cannot see any encouraging prospect of such
an advance becoming effective, so as to equal the increased cost.—Manufac-
turer.

* x *
Everything Going Up
Editor Canada Lumberman: Three Rivers, P.Q.
The labor situation is certainly serious. Men are very hard to get and
when you have them you are sot sure of keeping them a day. Quite a num-
ber of young men from our mill have gone west for the harvesting, and then
contractors that are putting up some buildings are paying all sorts of wages,
so that it makes the men unsteady, and they jump from one place to another.
I was telling a party the other day it was lucky the schools were not open
or we would have to shut down as lots of the bigger boys are working.
Regarding winter operations it is hard to say at present what the situa-
tion will be. It looks as if it was going to be hard to get all the labor wanted,
but, of course, all mills and most of the contractors will be shut down, which
will give a few.
Supplies are high, which is likely to make the cost of getting out logs
higher.—The Burrill Lumber Company.
* * *

St. John Not Actually Affected by Labor Shortage

Editor Canada Lumberman: St. John, N.B.

So far as St. John is concerned we have not felt the labor situation very
acutely. There has been sufficient labor for our mill and factory during the
entire summer, and we do not anticipate any shortage until the winter season
starts in, when, as you know, the mills cease operation in this section of the
country. At the present moment a number of the mills are idle, on account
of the prices in the American market being so poor. Also, within the next
few weeks several other mills will cease operations for the want of logs.

As to our mills in Quebec, they are somewhat off the line of the railway,
in a brand new country, and labor, while plentiful, is not of the right kind.
As to what the winter will bring forth for the seeds at our camps we cannot
say. Operating costs are steadily advancing both on account of the quality

_time, owing to the shortage of men and the high wages.

of the labor and price of supplies. It looks very much as if logs would ¢
considerably more next winter than they have in late years. Of course,
all depends upon the situation when the war is over—Murray and Gregory,

cost of raw materials and wages that we would have to spend this year if wi
were going to get out a new crop of logs. Unless there is a decided imp
ment in the value of lumber the lumbermen might as well lie back and
nothing this winter, as we see little prospect of getting costs back when y
come to sell the manufactured article. We certainly should get an advance
of 20 to 25 per cent. next year if the present conditions as to cost pre
throughout the winter, and we see very little prospect of their being lowerec

Logging Will Cost Three to Four Dollars a Thousand More

Editor Canada Lumberman: Blind River, Ont.
The labor situation is a problem in this part of the country. We find i
very difficult to keep sufficient men to keep our mill running, and, so far as thi
woods operations are concerned, we do not intend to do over one-half
what we did last year. For instance, we ran six camps last winter, a
doubt whether we will run three this year. We find labor very scarce ani
unsteady and know that it will be very hard to get woodsmen.
Wages started off here at $26 to $35 per month, but I understand now
that they are up to $30 to $40 per month and the men are still looking for
more. Just where the wages will get to remains to be seen.
I understand that there are some lumbermen throughout the Saldeisy who
have had fires through their limits, who are really forced to go in and operat 2)
Again, the pulp people are getting enormous prices for their pulp and os
are after a full stock. The lumber prices do not warrant the lumbermen mak-
ing this extra effort. Any well informed lumberman understands, if he i in-
tends to operate this year, that there will be an additional cost above operat-
ing last year of from $3 to $4 per thousand feet, and unless they can see a
better lumber market coming, there is not very much inducement for him to
go in. However, the companies that have plants and are organized, hate to
stop and break up, as it means practically a new organization when they st:
again, and I presume some of them will keep going in a somewhat curtailed
manner.—John R. Stover.

appearances we think there will be a shortage of men, and inferior workmen
offering. This, together with the high price of supplies and all other ma-
terial used by lumbermen, makes the future for those engaged in the lumber
trade not very bright. The result must be higher prices next year for lum-
ber, or those in the trade will have to go out of business——W. J. Sheppard.

” Expect High Costs Till End of War

Editor Canada Lumberman: Fassett, Que.
The labor situation is as bad here as we have ever seen it. We are ex-
jencing trouble at our plant, as well as in the woods, and at the present
e are short of men for grading the railroad. This work is usually done
Oreigners, but it seems impossible to get them at this time. We con-
late cutting our usual amount this season, and while we expect to be
» or less handicapped for want of labor to cut logs, we think that by the
l, we will be able to secure a fair number of men.
_ We find that wages have increased all around about two per cent. Sup-
have also increased in price, but to what percentage, we are not in a
to advise.
We do not look for conditions to better so long as the war lasts.—Fassett

Getting the Men but Paying Higher Wages

editar Canada Lumberman: Toronto, Ont.
While we had for a short time some difficulty in obtaining men for our
preparatory bush work, nevertheless, we have secured all the men that we
require. During the past two weeks, we could have secured a large gang of
men for bush work for our log operatioss had we required them, but inas-
much as we have not decided the question as to operations, we cannot very
well advise as to the labor conditions as respects our operations.

-_ Wages are, of course, much higher than in other years, and the price of
supplies, principally pork, has advanced very materially. We consider that
the lumbermen should increase the price to compensate for the increased cost
_ of operations.

Ae regards the sawmill operations, we have not had any great difficulty
in obtaining our requisite number of men. Wages have been increased pro-
Beer enntely with other labor—Standard Chemical Iron and Lumber Co.

> Everything Going Up But Lumber

Editor Canada Lumberman: Louiseville, Que.
Jt is early for us to say what the labor situation will be for next season’s
ogging operations, but, so far as we can judge, labor will be scarce and wages
high. As for our milling operations here, we had to raise the wages of our
men about 10 per cent. only lately, on account of the high cost of living, as
laborers find it very difficult to live with normal wages, everything being so
_ We shall probably have to reduce the cut of our logs next winter on
account of the scarcity of labor and also on account of high wages, and it
‘is our belief that it will be quite a problem to cut the usual quantity of logs.
Everything manufactured has advanced in price. About the only manu-
-factured goods that have not gone up, and in fact in some cases have gone
down, is lumber, and, of course, if cost of labor keeps on advancing and price
lumber decreasing, production will be reduced. The same cannot be said
ulpwood, as it is in great demand and paper manufacturers are making
d profits—The Tourville Lumber Mills Company.

[his is the worst fall I ever experienced in Canada, so far as the scarcity

what we can do. Last year we employed 600 men, paying them from $15
a month. This year we have cut down to 175 men and wages are
from $30 to $40 per month. The higher the wages are the less the
we secure from the labor. Every lumberman is cutting down around

Mill Wages Higher than Ever Before

Editor Canada Lumberman: Midland, Ont.

As yet, it is too early to give you the information asked for about our
bush operations, as we have only recently sent our superintendent up to make
a start. We anticipate, however, that labor will be scarcer than last year and
wages higher, although this may be remedied to a certain extent as a result
of some lumbermen not operating to the extent they did last year.

As far as our mill work is concerned we find a decided scarcity of labor
with a result that wages have gone substantially higher than we have ever
paid before with no prospects for any improvement for the balance of the
season.—Chew Bros.

Supplies Costing Much in Excess of Normal

Editor Canada Lumberman: Ottawa, Ont.

There is so doubt that there is a shortage of labor for the lumber busi-
ness, but I am hopeful that with the conclusion of the harvest these conditions
will become less acute.

With regard to the prices of supplies for the bush operations, it is, of
course, well known that the present prices are far in excess of normal, and
the cost of the bush operations this coming winter will; therefore, be con-
siderably higher than in previous years. This advanced cost will also be
affected by the higher rate of wages now prevailing.—J. R. Booth.

Editor Canada Lumberman: Burks Falls, Ont.

The labor situation is affecting us very seriously, both at the mill and at
any work in the country we have undertaken. There is a very great shortage
of labor and, in addition to that, wages are very high and the men extremely
indifferent and exacting. These facts, together with the price of supplies and
the general difficulties of the situation, we believe, have increased operating
costs about 35 per cent, as compared with last year—The Knight Bros. Com-
pany, Limited.

* * *
Operating Costing Twenty Per Cent. More

Editor Canada Lumberman: Riviere Trois Pistoles, P.Q.
The labor situation is getting very critical and good men are getting
scarce for mill and bush work. Wages are too high. Men work less time
and live the same, owing to increase of wages. Prospects for men for next
winter’s operations are not very bright. The increase of cost with us, in
productios, owing to increase of wages, material and provisions, and de-
preciation in quality of men, is about twenty. per cent. compared with previ-
ous years before the war.—Trois Pistoles Pulp & Lumber Company.

Logging to be Very Expensive
Editor Canada Lumberman: New Richmond, Que.
We have not experienced any trouble with-our mill crew, nor do we ex-
pect to have any shortage during the balance of the sawing season. We are
opening up our camps this month, but it is very difficult to secure crews.
Wages will be 15 to 20 per cent, higher than last year, aud the men will not
be up to the average, as a large proportion will be inexperienced youths, which,
added to the high cost of supplies, will make very expensive logging —Mont-
gomery & Sons Company, Limited.

Lumber Prices Must Go Higher

Editor Canada Lumberman; East Angus, Que.

We have not yet got started to any great extent, but so far as we can
judge at the present time, the extra cost of labor and supplies will bring
our operating costs for next year over and above last year at least 25 per
cent. Owing to this.enormous increase in the cost of getting the lumber from
the woods, it is very evident that the manufacturers will have to get a much
better price for their lumber next year—Brompton Pulp & Paper Company.

* *x * *
Operations Costing Fully 25 per cent. More

Editor Canada Lumberman; Otter Lake Station

We are finding the labor situation a very difficult problem, but so far, we
have been able to cope with it. We are contemplating starting two camps in
the near future and evidently they will be started very short handed, but
we are living in hopes that the situation may improve when the cold weather
sets in. The cost of operation this season is fully 25 per cent. in advance of
last year—Hocken Lumber Company, Limited.

A Waney Timber Operation in Ontari

Detailed Description of a Camp, Its Construction, Output, Management, Costs
and Other Features

ber was the chief activity in the logging camps of eastern Can-

ada that nowadays it is a difficult matter to obtain skilled work-

men for the operation of a camp of this class. A few years ago,
however, quite an extensive operation for the production of waney
timber was carried on by J. J. McFadden on the Jocko limits in north-
ern Ontario. These limits are located in the district of Nipissing, just
east of the townships of Lockhart and Garrow, and they comprise an
area of 25 square miles each, 50 square miles in all. At that time the
operation was commenced, it was necessary, in order to reach the
camp from Jocko Station, on the T. & N. O. Railway, about 32 miles
north of North Bay, to travel a cadge road running east for ten miles
to a camp of the Hawkesbury Lumber Company, and to continue
thence four miles further in the same direction to the McFadden
camp. During this first winter’s operation the product was drawn
from the camp by sleigh, a distance of six miles, to a siding, whence
it was transported by rail to Quebec. For the information contained
in the following article we are indebted to an interesting logging report
prepared by Messrs. F. McVickar and R. M. Watt, as a part of their
studies at the Forestry Department of the University of Toronto.

The class of labor employed in the manufacture of square and
waney timber comprises men who are specially skilled in their par-
ticular lines. With the decline of the square timber industry, the
opportunities for young men to learn the hewer's art became scanty.
Naturally, therefore, the men now available are all old-timers and
receive high wages, both on account of their skill and because of their
willingness and general dependability.

The method of procedure in the production of square and waney
timber is entirely different from any other logging operation. To
some extent the organization and handling of the crew resembles
that of an ordinary logging operation, but there are many important
differences. The agent, or walking boss, in the first place makes
his selection of a foreman and the two of them proceed to hire their
crew. In this particular case the crew was assembled at North Bay,
and brought to Jocko Station by rail. Arrived at the station, they
were put to work first of all upon building a cadge road. In this case
the main cadge road had only to be constructed from the Hawkes-
bury camp into the limits, a distance of about four miles. As soon
as possible, the crew were put to work upon the building of the camp.

Mr. McFadden’s plan in connection with this operation was to
take out all the waney stuff during the first winter and subsequently
to remove the spruce and pine saw logs. Economic considerations
dictated his course in not carrying on the two operations at the same
time. Had the two operations been carried on simultaneously it would
have been necessary to have built a double sized camp and to have
employed double the number of men and double the number of teams.
This would have necessitated a much greater outlay of capital for
camp construction and pay roll, as well as for maintenance. All this
capital would have to be invested before any returns came in. Con-

| T is so many years since the production of square and waney tim-

sequently, none of the profits of one operation could have been used
to finance the other. Moreover, if a larger and costlier camp had been
constructed the loggers would not have been able to operate over any
larger territory than from a small and less expensive camp.

The Logging Camp Crew

The average number of men in the camp in connection with this
operation was about 110. This number varied naturally from week t
week, a few men always deciding to “hist their turkeys” and strik
out for other camps, and delay being involved in finding others to fi
the vacancies. The camp crew was divided as follows :— i

[executive force:

The crew was made up of French, Irish.and Scotch, the great
majority being French-Canadians. There were also a few Poles who
were employed as road cutters, a class of work for which they are
particularly well fitted, because of their great physical strength and —
their amenability to discipline, such as is administered at the hands ©
of an Irish foreman. ‘ 4

Camp Layout and Construction

The laying out of a lumber camp is always associated with its
individual problems connected with each new timber area that is to
be logged. The camp at Jocko, consisting of 12 log buildings, cover-—
ing an area of about one acre, was situated on a terrace above a slough.
This location was chosen because it was the most central point for
the waney timber, and also because of its proximity to a good water —
supply. The buildings were of the usual type found in the woods of —
northern Ontario, being constructed of logs, pine, spruce or fir, notched ~
at the ends, and 8 to 10 logs high, the cracks being filled with moss
or plaster. In most cases the logs were peeled before being used
for camp construction, because this gives a cleaner log and less liable ©
to attack from insects: The roofs and gable ends were covered with
tar paper, which it is necessary to renew annually. The single excep-
tion in this regard was the cook house, which was covered with a
prepared roofing. During construction, a crew of 25 men and four
teams were employed for three weeks at a cost of from $1,500 to $2,000. —
The buildings put up were as follows :—Office, 18 feet x 24 feet; private —
camp, 16 feet x 22 feet; cook house, 28 feet x 50 feet; store house, 16
feet x 20 feet; two bunk houses, 68 feet by 44 feet; two stables, 36
feet x 28 feet; blacksmith shop, 18 feet x 24 feet; store house, 18 feet —
x 24 feet; filer’s shack, 8 feet x 10 feet; and lavatory, 6 feet x 8 feet.

The Cook House: This building is exceptionally well ventilated
and lighted, the kitchen occupying a space 16 ft. by 28 ft., while the
remainder of the building is used for a dining hall, the men being~
served at three long tables.

The cook and his two helpers were well supplied with the
necessary cooking utensils for the sanitary and economic prepara- —
tion of food, these, with the other dishes required for serving could —

be replaced for $200. The management evidently believed in the old
adage that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and by
_ the careful selection of proper food and a good cook they increased

the working efficiency of their men. hai 4

The average cost of food per man per day is forty cents.
A store house and root cellar for provisions is located in the rear
of the cook house.

The Bunk House: The two bunk houses accommodating 68 and 44
‘men respectively, are built higher than usually found in the woods,
affording better ventilation and light, and are more cheerful and
comfortable quarters for the men. The bunks are arranged endwise,
_two men to each bunk, and are supplied with three pairs of blankets
oe bunk. The total cost of blankets would be about $750. The

nk houses were supplied with soap and towels, and were kept ex-
‘ceptionally clean and well heated.

The Stables: Special attention was given to the stables; floors
vere made of fir, split and smoother, stalls double width, and kept
clean, by the chore boys.

_ The horses, thirty-two in number, are mostly Clydes, weighing
28 to 32 hundred weight per team and valued at from $500 to

er team. The cost of maintenance per team per day is about
ar, with the following feed, 114 bushels of oats, 60 pounds of hay,

with an occasional feed of bran. Harness per team, $45 to $50. With
the average life of a team at woods work, five or six years, and with
$10,000 tied up in horse flesh, it can readily be understood why they
receive the best of care.

A store house for hay and oats is situated to the rear of the
stables.

The Blacksmith Shop: The woods blacksmith shop requires
about the same equipment as the ordinary village “smithy.” The
blacksmith was well supplied with the necessary tools of his craft,
also a stock of round and flat iron for general repair work. The
entire outfit representing an outlay of from $200 to $250.

The Camp Store: The camp store, or van, occupied a few shelves
in the office, a stock valued at $250 is sufficient to meet the immedi-
ate demands of the men. The following articles being stocked :—
Tobacco, smoking and chewing; boots; oil tans; mocassins; gum
rubbers; woolen underwear; woolen shirts; khaki shirts; mackinaw
suits; tweed trousers; mittens; gloves; handkerchiefs; stationery ;
patent medicines. The system of keeping the accounts its very
simple, indeed. The clerk or foreman, whoever happens to be in the
office at the time of purchase, charges the amount of purchase into the
“day book.” At night the clerk transfers the account to the

“ledger,” to be deducted from the man’s wages at the end of the
season.
Roads: There is a series of ridges meeting the cadge road at

right angles all the way in from Jocko, as well as a constant rise in
general level. The road was built as well as possible under the
circumstances, following in the main the contours of the country.
However, in some places this would necessitate too extensive detours,
so there are some pretty stiff grades. About 20 per cent. is the maxi-
mum for the haul from the railway to the camp, and of course, such
grades are short. For the trip from the camp out with empty sleds,

Ey,

some short cuts have been cut across ridges, and as a result better
time can be made. Some of these are so steep that they would ap-
pear impossible to the novice. The minimum grades are represented
along swamps and sloughs and are consequently negligible.

Little or no grading has been done, chiefly owing to the rocky
nature of the soil, which would make such work too expensive. The
swampy places are corduroyed with poplar, fir and other wood of lit-
tle value. The one bridge over the Jocko River is of very simple con-
struction. Three stringers of unhewed spruce about 18 inches in
diameter are used. The floor is of poles of any wood which was at
hand when the bridge was built or last repaired.

No culverts are used; across wet places and small streams cordu-
roy resting on stringers being employed instead.

A mile of road can be built in a week by ten men using two teams.
The cost of each man in wages and food would average about $2.00
per diem. This, with the cost of horse feed, tools, etc., would bring
the cost of the cadge road to about $175 a mile.

After snowfall the roads are ploughed with a snow plow of
the ordinary wooden type, followed by a patent plow, and finally by a
sprinkler. Oval shoes are used on the sleds, which gives the tracks a
fine surface. No rolling is practiced in their operations. The fore-
man considered that rolling hardens the road from the top down,
so that the horses punch through here and there instead of packing
the snow down to a good firm road surface.

In case of wet snow, the lakes are tramped to penetrate the snow,
allowing all parts of the snow to freeze with equal rapidity. At the
same time the snow is prevented from forming a blanket over the
ice, and thus preventing it from thickening properly. Holes are also
sometimes cut in the ice in time of thaw to permit of flooding and
freezing on the surface, and at the same time relieving the great
strain put on the ice.

Logging roads are, as far as possible, laid out along the con-
tours, or with a gentle slops toward camp. Grades here often run
higher than on the cadge road, but only going towards camp. Their
cost would be in the neighborhood of $100 a mile.

Two miles is the greatest distance from which timber is hauled,
and is considered the maximum distance to which men can walk to
their work without economic loss to the operation.

Logging Practice

From the standing pine to the waney timber at the landing, the
work is divided between two distinct crews.
(a) Actual timber making, cutting crew.
(b) Skidding and yarding crews.
Timber making crew:

_ Crew Tools Cost of tools

1 Liner d ‘Chalk line’'and chalks). aes eee eee 25

2 Scorers <2 pole axes 2. - Se

2 Hewers’ 2 broad axes, right and left handed hae 50

1 Swamper 1 double bitted axe ... 2.00
$21.50

This crew makes from nine to ten waney timbers per day; each
swamper serves two crews; the liner several.

The first operation is carried out by the fallers who fall the
tree, and do their own bucking.

The liner determines how much the log will square out, and lines
it in by means of his chalked line. \

He in turn is followed by the scorers, who hack to his line,
removing the rough outside bark and wood.

The operation is finally completed by the hewers, who, working
‘on each side of the log, right and left handed, are so expert in their
. trade that when finished, the waney timber presents a surface as
smooth as though it had been planed.

The waney timbers are then left at the point of balance, ready for
the yarding crew who simply tip them on to the sloops.

Yarding and Skidding

The snaking trails are built by the “road monkeys,” to wherever
the waney timbers are made and are. merely brushed out so as to
allow a team and sloop to get at them. The sloops are heavy bobs
having ten-foot bunks and six-foot runs, the timbers are chained on to
these ‘sloops leaving one end free to drag.

The skidding trails are built so as to have the least possible grade,
following the contours of the country to a great extent. Bad holes
are filled, while low or wet places are corduroyed.

The skidways are located on the slough near the camp, at the
mouth of the road leading to the railway. The number of timbers
in a skidway varies from 100 to 150, remaining on the skids from the
time they are cut at the beginning of September, till the last log is
hauled to the railway, about March 15th,

Tastes Differ with Lumberjacks
What They Eat in an Ontario Camp and in a B. C. Camp
—Comparisons of Food and Costs.

Feeding the men employed at a lumber camp is a much m jor
extensive and complicated job than anyone who has not seen a loggi 4
camp in operation could possibly imagine. The vast quanti
food consumed at a camp, the difficulties which have to be overcon
in the way of shipment from the place of purchase to the camp, t
cost of keeping a sufficient supply continually on hand, the cost of fp
paring the food and serving it, all combined, furnish sufficient de te
to require a full sized man to look after them with any degree of s
cess. Nevertheless, it is remarkable how the feeding of the camp €
ployees has been reduced almost to scientific uniformity.
accounts kept by the cook. and the foreman, and submitted to
quarters for periodical analysis should enable those who are a
ible to check up the quantities and costs so that the amount 1
for feeding a camp of a given number of men during a definite p
may be estimated with sufficient accuracy in advance. ‘

The statements of quantities and costs which are shown be
were furnished to us by the companies themselves. In the case of
the Ontario camp they refer to a crew of 100 men operating for s
months. The figures shown are reduced to a one month bas
division by 7. The British Columbia figures furnished to us
for a camp of 50 men for one month. We have multiplied thes
ures by 2 in order to afford a basis of comparison with the Oni
camp. The figures shown are therefore on the basis of 100 men
one month in each case. A number of significant omissions will
pear in some of these reports. In the Ontario case the figures sh«
are for the actual goods appearing upon a “board account” subt
by the camp cook for the season of 1915-16. Counting in the
for the cooks and chore boys the actual cost of feeding the men
this camp works out at 53c per man per day. Other camps operat
by the same company showed averages of 5le, 52¢ and 59.

The British Columbia camp for which we have given figures pr
sents a rather different result. Apparently, the party who drew »
the B. C. list omitted a few items, though most of the items involy
a cost of more than a few dollars are included. The B. C. list adds
in value to $1,799.88, which for a camp of 100 men for one mor
would show a cost of 60c per man per day. This B. C. average
man per day, however, includes only the cost of the food, while
Ontario list includes the cooks’ and cookees’ wages. Apparently,
these reports can be considered as typical, it costs about as much
purchase food for the men in a B. C. mountain camp as it does _
purchase food and cook and serve it in the Ontario camp.

umber Production Increasing in Cape Breton, N.S.

l a few years ago, nearly all the lumber consumed in Cape
was imported from other parts of Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
the lumber manufacturing industry not having made any im-
mt steps in the way of development until quite recently. Of
ars, a second growth of young trees, chiefly fir, or balsam, as
en called, has attained such a size as to make it worth while
y farmers throughout the country to go in for the production
umber. These farmers have put up small mills which now fur-
practically all the framing and boards used in the farming sec-
Along with the growth in the lumber industry there has also
considerable development in the woodworking line. The pro-
s of the Cape Breton woodworking plants of the firm of Chap-
ros. & Company, Limited, now ‘find their way to every part
sland and include everything required in the line of finer
g material.

The actual number of individuals or firms carrying on lumbering
business, apart from farming or other lines, in Cape

Breton is very small. Among them there are C. A. Fownes, Nyanza;
Ie. W. Dryden, Baddeck ; the Dominion Lumber Company, an Ameri-
con concern in Inverness County, and Chappell Bros. & Company,
Limited, Sydney. The last named firm operate several mills and
carry on lumbering in connection with their woodworking and con-
tracting business. They also buy quite extensively from the other
operators.

The Cape Breton Pulp Company own extensive limits in the
northern part of the island and are now erecting a large pulp mill at
Murray Ste. Anns.

Cape Breton may now be said to be self-sustained in regard to
the production of small lumber suitable for framing for small build-
ings, while material for large buildings must be imported. The wood-
working firms also have to import large quantities of boards, both
spruce and pine, for manufacturing purposes.

A Logging Camp’s Hardware Bill

Sufficient to Stock a Fair Sized Store—Lumber Price Cut-
ters Should Read This Carefully.

The hardware supplies required in a logging operation include
a great variety of articles. Under the heading of hardware, in the
requisitions for a camp there come a number of articles that might be
considered as scarcely of the hardware type, but for purchasing pur-
poses they are grouped together, as a rule, for the sake of simplifying
the work of making out requisitions. In connection with four camps
operated by an Ontario manufacturer during the season of 1915-16,
each camp employing about one hundred men for a period of seven
months, the requisition for hardware included the following articles:

The Camp Food Bill Steadily Soarin

Where do the Provisions come from and why are they so expensive? The problem
growing daily more difficult 7

How many lumbermen, aside perhaps from those who are actually
responsible for the purchase of supplies for a logging camp, appreci-
ate the extent of the business involved in furnishing loggers with good
food? Everyone in a logging camp understands well enough how
important it is, both from the point of view of results and from the
point of view of the employees’ health that a wide variety of palat-
able and good food should be furnished at the camp table. There is
no doubt, indeed, that’ one of the chief factors in connection with
the successful management of a logging camp is the furnishing of a
good table. Of late years this fact has become increasingly import-
ant on account of the rising cost of labor and the readiness of the
average employee to dig out for pastures new upon the slightest
provocation.

In the solution of the food problem for a lumber camp the large
wholesale provision houses and grocers at such centres as Toronto,
Montreal, etc., play an exceptionally important part. With their
skilled and extensive organizations, their large capital, their intimate
knowledge of world-wide markets, and their specialized knowledge
of the réquirements of lumber camps, they have made it possible
for the camp foreman to obtain, with little loss of time, a range of
food stuffs that would have been considered entirely out of the
question even a few years ago.

When one goes back to the early days of pork and beans and
the few other lines that were then sufficient for the camp menu, and
compares conditions in those days with the conditions of today, the
contrast is almost too great to appreciate. Two factors have been of
chief importance in bringing about this development. One, of course,
has been the growth of railroad facilities in Canada, making it pos-
sible to deliver goods rapidly to the very threshold of the logging dis-
tricts. The other factor has been the business ability of the great
wholesale houses that have established their extensive buying con-
nections and have created large warehouses to act as supply depots
for the men in the camps.

Take the wholesale grocery’ business, for instance, and con-
sider the lines that it furnishes. We do not intend to present an
exhaustive list, but simply to indicate something of its variety. Some
of the most important items are white beans, evaporated applies,
coffee, tea, canned tomatoes, corn, peas, and beans, lard, butter,
prunes, tobacco, salted meats, canned milk, canned apples and rhu-
barb, dried fruits, such as currants and raisins, rolled oats, corn meal,
syrup, etc. These few lines are sufficient to indicate the variety and to
suggest something of the extent of business centralized in the whole-
sale grocery establishments that cater to this trade.

Many Countries Contribute to the Menu

If we were to trace the origin of most of these articles we would
have to journey to practically every quarter of the globe. Take the
case of prunes, for instance, today they are coming almost exclusively
from California. Not many years ago they were coming from Austria,
Bosnia, Servia and France. Of late years the production of prunes
in California has been developed to a great extent and today a very
good grade of prune is coming from that market.

Every camp consumes a large quantity of sugar, both yellow and
granulated. The war has had a great effect upon this article of food.
Just before the war, yellow sugar at Toronto was selling at $4.11 a
hundred pounds, and best granulated at $4.51 to the retailer.
Today the respective prices are $7.46 for yellow sugar and $7.86 for
granulated. The cause of this great increase is rather curious. First
of all it is the result of the cutting off of the world’s most extensive
source of supply in the central districts of Europe, where the beet
growing industry for the production of sugar had been developed to
an enormous extent. These districts used to produce nearly one-
half the sugar consumed in the whole world. The chief producing
districts were Germany, Austria, Belgium and Northern France. In
the other producing countries, the output has been increased as far
as possible in order to offset the reduction of output in central Europe.
Price advances, moreover, have resulted in a slight decrease in the
consumption.

The Price Fluctuations of Sugar

At the outbreak of the war there would have been a far greater
advance in the price of sugar had it not been for the fact that avail-

able stocks on hand were then greatly in excess of the requirements

under normal conditions. In fact, during the summer of 1914, pro-

ducers and holders of raw supplies were facing a situation whiel
would unquestionably have necessitated reduced production if con
ditions had not been entirely upset by the commencement of the wz
As it was, the enormous available stocks kept the price from mat
taining its earlier advance. The advance that did occur was of a mo
or less sentimental nature, but it was soon offset, and not until k
fall, when the over-supply had been worked off, did an advance basee
upon supply and demand take place. Since then the price of st
has gone up about $2 a hundred pounds, but during the past m
there has been a drop of about 40c a hundred pounds. Today
greater part of the sugar consumed in Canada comes from the Brit
West Indies and is refined in Canada. 4
Tea is another staple article at all lumber camps. The principal
tea consumed in the camps comes from China, Japan, India and
lon, being chiefly such as Japans, and Young Hysons and Congous
from China. Coffees are brought from South America, Central Ar
erica, Mexico, China and Arabia. The principal coffees used in
lumber camps come from Brazil.
Of the goods produced in Canada, one of the most import
lines is canned products. All the canned fruits and vegetables f
nished to the logging camps are grown and put up in Canada. An-
other exclusively Canadian product used in lumber camps is salted
meat. The quantity of this line of food consumed is very great, and
in this connection, the wholesale houses are of great service, because
they enable the lumber camps to draw upon their supplies from time —
to time and thus obtain, on very short notice, exactly what they may
require, without being obliged to carry large stocks at the camp. In ~
times like the present when prices are high and stocks are scarce, it
is of much importance to the camps to be able to make use of the
ability of the wholesalers to anticipate the markets’ requirements
and carry sufficient stocks to meet the demand. __ ;

Speaking of market conditions, especially in reference to the
goods required by the logging camps, a prominent wholesale grocer
remarked with much interest upon the fact that the lumber camps
today are using a much superior class of goods to that which they
used twenty-five years ago. In the earlier days, camp employees
were not so particular about their food. They were paid small —
wages and had to eat pretty much what was available. They
had not been educated to an appreciation of good things to eat as —
they are today. Now-a-days, a camp employee wants the best he —
can get, and unless it is served up to him he will not stay. The im-
provement has been both in variety and quality and has involved a
corresponding increase in the cost of labor. é

Higher Prices and Their Causes —:

There is no doubt that the cost of provisions for the men in the |
camps today will average 25 per cent. higher than the cost immediately
before the war. Take the case of cheese, for instance, it has advanced
quite fifty per cent. Teas are about 25 per cent. higher. Meat pro-—
ducts are at least fifty per cent. higher. -Dried fruits are far more ex-
pensive than they were. An interesting line is mustard. Before the
war practically all mustard seed came from Austria and was ground —
and prepared in England. The mustard manufacturers in England |
have had to scour the world since the Austrian source of supply was ©
cut off and prices have naturally gone up to a great extent. =

The prospect for canned goods this year is for very high prices.
In fact the same thing may be said for nearly all lines of groceries. —
Canned vegetables are already scarce and the new pack will be light
because the drought has dried things up. Moreover, the drought —
has had an effect upon consumption. People who in former years —
would be using their own garden stuff, are this year consuming canned —
goods, and have helped to produce a scarcity. There seems to be no
question that canned goods will be both scarce and expensive for
some time to come. ‘ Bes! | e

Meats also will be high in price. The chief factor in this regard
is the war. The armies are consuming far more meat than the same _
number of men would consume under ordinary conditions. Their —
work is such that they need large quantities of meat food. The pro-—
duction of meat is also falling off. The high price of cereals induces
farmers to sell their cattle earlier than under normal conditions, rather
than hold them until they are larger and bring better returns. They (33

and think they are doing better by selling the cereals than by feeding _

them to cattle and pigs. The wholesaler to whom we referred above
expressed the opinion that this situation was likely to develop into
something serious, and even suggested that governments ought to
consider the advisability of regulating the sale of young calves and
_ pigs by law, so as to prevent them being killed off at too early a stage.
_ ‘Taking everything into consideration, it is no difficult matter to
‘predict today that lumbermen will have greater trouble during the
coming winter in securing foodstuffs for their camp employees than
they ever had before, and that prices for practically all lines are cer-
in to be high. Although these views are secured directly from a
wholesale grocer, we believe that the experience of lumbermen will
everything that has been satd. Taken in conjunction with the
neing cost and the decreasing efficiency of labor, the situation
mes critical and seems to involve heavy reductions in the output
logs during the winter of 1916-17.

) Portable Sawmill Problems—

Conditions under which this method is found
. profitable in Great Britain

‘The use of portable mills has become so widely prevalent in
many parts of eastern Canada, and to some extent in other parts of
Canada as well, that most lumbermen understand fairly well the
conditions that are favorable to a portable operation. Not unlike the
conditions in eastern Canada are those prevailing in. Great Britain,
though, of course, there are also many important lines of difference.
The way in which the matter is viewed in Great Britain is outlined
in an article in a recent issue of the Timber Trades Journal of Lon-
don, Eng. Many contrary opinions have been expressed from time to

Hime by men of long experience as to whether portable sawmills are
a profitable asset to the timber merchant, this article says. Many of
lose opposed to them contend that they lead too much to decentral-
ization, increase management expenses, and cause too much dissipa-
tion of energies. Others, again, believe that they are too wasteful,
that they cannot economically utilize a great deal of offal which
vould be used up in a central mill, and consequently that it pays
better to bring all timber home.

_ A great many arguments may be brought forward to support
se contentions, but the most likely factor in creating the adverse
ea in the minds of those who have lost money on portable sawmills
hat they have not had the right man to manage them. It is a very
easy matter to lose money, and a very different proposition to make it.

_ Many mistakes have been made by portable sawmillers in convert-
ing timber unsuited to such methods. In breaking down timber that
oo large for the machinery a great deal of unnecessary waste is in-
red. This particularly applies to sawing plank on a rack bench.
Even if the timber is not too large, a big lot of wood is wasted in
he excessive saw kerf. And with timber that is outsize, not only is
re waste in saw kerf, but the slabbing cuts to reduce the log to
depth of the saw means a waste of valuable timber, and decreases
width of the plank by a very considerable percentage. If the
wyer attempts to keep the plank the full width, and turns his log
meet the cut, the chances are a hundred to one against the cutting
ng accurate; and this, again, would entail waste, and probably spoil
sale of the plank owing to bad cutting. In this sense, then, where
portable mills consist solely of circular sawing machines, they are
profitable for planking, a process which should preferably be under-
en in stationary mills where proper log-sawing machines have been
down for boarding and planking logs in their full width.
Another objection to portable mills is that they are, as a rule, put

in out-of-the-way country places where there is no sale for the
dust, and the inevitable accumulation of large piles of slabs and
ood—items which in a town mill bring the proprietor in quite a
amount annually. There is no doubt that this is often the case,
ay be frequently witnessed in the piles of slabs and sawdust left
d after the mills have been removed. Very often, however, local
s will buy up most of the slabs that may not be required for

the engine at a good price for rough outbuildings and fencing.
in, the arrangement would probably be advanced by those
ve in the portable mill that all carriage would have been
this waste, even if no sale were effected, and that the cost
ge would represent much more than its actual value.
main question that is bound to arise in the minds. of those
d in this subject is: When are portable mills profitable, and
they reach that point where they cease to be a paying pro-
n?
rtable mills are undoubtedly useful to those merchants who

no main stationary mill, and whose principal business con-
elling timber in the round. In a very large lot of home-grown
mixed varieties there is bound to be a considerable quantity

that of finding a suitable site near a plentiful water supply.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 63

of rough timber which would scarcely pay for the handling if put
on the market in the round. Ina case like this a portable mill is useful
for converting the rougher timber to the best advantage, and thus
obviating all carriage except upon the actually marketable article.
By dealing with the timber in this way the merchant is enabled to
make a selection of his better timber, and therefore can demand the
highest market prices.

The merchant who possesses a stationary mill can work a port-
able mill on similar lines if his timber is at such a distance from his
converting centre that the carriage upon the rougher timber would
render it unprofitable to bring it home. But at the same time such a
step would only be warranted by there being sufficient timber to keep
the portable mill employed, and sufficiently close so that the hauling
to it would not be an expensive item, and providing that no attempt
should be made to convert the better-class timber which could be
more profitably worked up in the home mill.

There are one or two classes of trade in which portable sawmills
are profitable for converting practically the whole of the timber. One
class particularly is that of dealing with a fir or pine plantation. In
fact, many portable mills are already down, or are being put down to-
day for this purpose, the timber being exclusively converted on the
spot into sleepers, deals, battens, scantlings, and boards, as well as
for mining and fencing purposes. Practically the last piece is worked
up in this way, and the carriage is absolutely confined to the converted
timber; and at the present high prices ruling for such goods some
highly profitable business is being done in those cases where sufficient
labor is available to keep all ends fully employed.

We are, however, not so much considering this question from the
present abnormal point of view, where such operations are being car-
ried on for temporary purposes only, as for normal times, when the
usual competitive and low-cut prices have to be contended with.

Another class of trade in which portable mills are extremely use-
ful is that of cutting oak wagon scantlings, providing the timber is
not too large to be handled by the machinery with which the mill is
equipped. A very good line to run in conjunction with wagon scant-
lings is that of oak fencing materials, in which case one or two cleavers
should be kept on the spot for cleaving spokes and pales. As far as
we can judge at present there will be a much increased demand for
wagon scantlings immediately the war is over, and if present prices
rule, standing oak will fetch higher figures, and merchants will neces-
sarily have to study the most economical methods of handling their
timber ; and those who have their portable mills for converting coni-
ferous woods to-day will find a good opening for them in this respect.

In some districts where merchants make their main business
that of selling timber in the round, to help themselves with the rougher
butts and large tops they hire the portable mills, and pay the owners
upon a piecework basis of so much per cubic foot for the converted
timber.

One of the greatest difficulties with regard to a portable mill is
During
a dry summer the water has sometimes to be carried a long distance,
and this necessarily adds considerably to the working expenses.

To sum up, we may say that the chief points to be studied in
using a portable mill are :—

(a) The right man to manage, so that expenses are kept down to
a minimum.

(b) The conversion of timber that is unprofitable to deal with in
any other way.

(d) The proper roofing-in of the mill, so that work can be carried
on, wet or dry.

(e) The cultivation of a local trade, as far as possible, for the
profitable disposal of sawdust and offal.

B. C.’s Timber Scale for June

The timber returns for British Columbia during June, issued by
the Department of Lands, show that the total scale of sawlogs for the
province amounted to 120,023,869 feet, board measure, in addition
to 375,905 lineal feet of poles and piles, and 28,840 cords of ties, shingle
bolts, etc. The sawlogs scaled in the various forest districts include
Vancouver, 78,439,270 feet ; Cranbrook, 12,744,444 feet; Island 11,333,-
874 feet; Vernon 7,339,997 feet; Nelson 4,288,647 feet; Prince Rupert

Logging Flume Construction and Its Use

Description of Methods Adopted in Modern Practice of Fluming in the Western
Mountain Districts

By W. D.

Water, in one way or another, is a factor in almost all methods
made use of by loggers and lumbermen in moving forest products
from one point to another any considerable distance. The lakes and
streams of this country have been and are still being extensively
utilized for floating logs, lumber and other timber products from the
forests to some desirable point for the location of mills and factories.

The method most commonly used is to dump large quantities
of logs into some running stream and float them with the current
to the point where the manufacturing plant is to be located. This
is commonly known as log driving, and, in some instances has proven
a very economical and satisfactory means of transportation ; but as the
lumber business has developed and grown in magnitude the forests
lying along such streams as were readily adapted to this use have
been denuded until now those that can be made available for the
purpose at all generally require expensive improvements before they
can be utilized in this manner. This is particularly true of the moun-
tain timber districts in the west, where many of the streams flow
through rough and rugged country, in rocky channels, with such
steep grades and swift currents that it is impractical to make use of
them in floating logs, consequently many large and valuable tracts of
the finest kind of merchantable timber can only be made available by
some other means. Railroads can be made use of to advantage in
some instances, and have been built and utilized extensively. They
are, however, frequently impracticable owing to steep grades and the
high cost of construction and operation.

Wherever such conditions prevail, a flume will usually solve the
problem, and frequently will prove a cheaper and more satisfactory
means of transportation than any other, even when the other methods
mentioned are feasable.

The transportation of logs by flume is feasible wherever there
is an available supply of water that can be diverted into the flume
box at a point having sufficient elevation above the desired point of
delivery, to insure flowage. These are the only two essentials—given
them, all other difficulties and obstacles may be overcome.

The extreme flexibility of the flume as to grades and curvatures,
and the ease with which it may be constructed over extremely rough,
rocky and broken country by trestling instead of making costly cuts,
gives it a great advantage over the railroad in any mountainous
country, and makes its use entirely practicable in places where the
latter is utterly impossible.

Transportation flumes are ordinarily built on trestling, and a
difference of a few feet in the height of the trestles adds but little
to the cost of construction, and none to their successful operation. It
is largely due to this feature that they can be built much cheaper than
a railroad, especially in the mountains. On hillsides, where grading
for a railroad would be heavy, all that is required for a flume is two, or
at most four, footings every sixteen feet. Where large boulders and
rocks are encountered they can be passed over with a flume by means

of trestling, when building a railroad would entail expensive blasting,
cutting and filling. When trestling for a railroad is practicable, they
must be constructed much heavier and more expensively than for a
flume. A flume can be built at a practicable cost, and successfully”
operated on steep and rocky hillsides, over or around rock cliffs, and
through narrow, rockbound, winding canyons, where a railroad could
not be considered possible at any cost.

With reference to the engineering and construction of flumes for
transportation purposes, I will endeavor to outline as briefly as pos-
sible the more important features, as shown by my experience and
study of the subject.

’

Triangular Box Gives Best Results

First, it should be understood that all of the information and data
given is based on a flume box of triangular shape. This design has
been fully demonstrated to be the most desirable and efficient in
operation. Several slight variations, such as flattening the bottom
or building the side walls with a greater or less angle than 45 de- ©
grees from perpendicular, have been tried, but in every instance I am
convinced the triangular box would have given better results. The
principal reasons for this are that, in fluming a log or other stick of
timber of any size, in a box of triangular design, there is always a
space between it and the bottom of the flume box, where water will
be flowing, which assists in buoying it up and keeping it in motion.
The 45 degree angle of the side walls seems to be exactly what is
required to carry water around curves with the least amount of dis-
turbance and slopping, which results in waste and reduces efficiency.
This angle of the walls also seems best adapted to carrying around
curves logs which are either too large in diameter or too long to lay
at their normal level in the water, on account of the curvature. When
such condition occurs the water rises toward the top of the flume box
on the outside of the curve, taking with it the end of the stick being
floated. This leaves the front of the log well down in the flume
box, and with its back end forced up, sometimes above the top of the
flume, thus relieving the tendency for it to bind in passing around the
curves. It can readily be seen that if the flume box had perpendicular
sides. this would not be possible, and that if the sides were at a steeper
angle than 45 degrees from perpendicular, this action of the water
and the log would not occur so readily.

The grades on which a flume may be built and successfully oper-
ated can be as steep as 25 per cent., and under certain conditions even
steeper, or as flat as one-tenth of one per cent., although such extremes
are seldom necessary. Uniformity of gradient is not essential to the
successful operation of a flume. If engineering and construction are
properly done the grade may be changed from one extreme to the
other in a comparatively short distance without materially affecting
its efficiency, although it is always desirable to avoid making any
change in grade too suddenly or more often than the conditions re-
quire, because of their tendency to increase wear on the flume box

and to cause jams or clogging of material being floated. The curva-
ture permissible in log flume construction will depend on so many
different factors that it can only be determined, in each particular

‘case, after all the conditions and requirements have been ascertained

and are understood. The principal controlling factors are: The di-
mensions of largest timber to be floated, the volume of water avail-
able, and the percentage of grade at the curve. Given an ample sup-
ply of water and a flume box of suitable size, any stick of timber could
be floated around any curve. It is seldom, however, that there is
any necessity for curves sharper than twenty degrees, although thirty
and even forty degree curves are sometimes practical.

Generally speaking, if the size of the flume box is figured close to
the requirements necessary to float a log of the largest diameter to
be handled, a maximum curvature of twenty degrees can be allowen
for logs up to twenty-four feet in length, ann twenty-five degrees for
logs over twenty feet in length. Under similar conditions a curvature
of from eight to ten degrees would be the maximum for logs forty
feet in length. It must be remembered, however, that increasing the
size of the flume box (in proportion to the size of the log) at the
curves will permit of their being made sharper, assuming that there is
a sufficiefit supply of water. These statements are based on the pre-
sumption that the longest logs handled will not be cut from timber of
the largest diameter, and that the sharpest curves will not be neces-
sary where grades are exceptionally flat.

Small Volume of Water Necessary

The water supply necessary to make the use of a flume practic-
able also varies to a considerable extent according to controlling con-
ditions. Many people have a greatly exaggerated idea of the volume
of water that is required to operate a flume successfully, especially a
log flume. As a matter of fact, less water is necessary for the suc-
cessful floating of logs up to four feet in diameter than for floating
lumber of the dimensions commonly known as yard stock. In flum-
ing logs the volume of water which it is absolutely essential to have

‘is only enough to slightly more than fill the space in the flume left

under the largest log to be floated when it is lying in the flume box
and being supported by it. By taking the precaution in shipping of
placing smaller logs behind the larger ones, a still smaller volume of
water will be sufficient to flume them successfully. This statement
applies to any gradient which the flume may have at the point from
which the logs are started, providing it is steep enough to give them
headway before they arrive at either a flatter or steeper grade in
floating down the flume.

The steeper the grades are the greater capacity a flume will have
without increasing the volume of water required. Owing to the ve-
locity attained by a log running on the steeper grades its buoyancy
is increased, and this added buoyancy, together with its momentum,
causes it to move faster than the water on which it is floating. The
result is that it banks the water in front of and around itself, creating
an increased body on which to float. On flat grades, up to four or
five per cent., if a log is too large to float free without riding on the
sides of the flume box, its progress will be retarded and the water
will accumulate around and behind it, forming a head sufficient to
keep it floating, providing there is enough water in the flume to fill
the space under the log, as before mentioned. This is, of course, as-
suming that the flume box is large enough to carry the required depth
of water to float the log free. Increasing the size of the flume box
and the volume of water permits the tse of sharper curves.

An unlimited supply of water is, needless to say, always an ad-

vantage, but the point I wish to make perfectly clear is, that it is not
essential to the successful operation of a log flume.

When the natural flow of water available for a flume project is
not sufficient to meet the requirements, storage ponds can generally
be constructed without incurring prohibitive expense, and plenty of
water secured for fluming a part ‘of the time. The capacity of a flume
for floating logs is so surprisingly great that it will usually handle
all that is “required in four hours or less per day. By using storage
ponds the natural flow of water could be increased during shipping
hours from four to six times.

The length to which a flume may be extended without prejudice
to its practicability or economical operation, is limited only by the
possibilities for obtaining a sufficient supply of water and the main-
tenance of a descending gradient. I have had supervision over the
engineering and operation of one flume in particular which was con-
tinuous for a distance of over thirty miles. There are flumes in Cal-
ifornia, used for carrying lumber, which I am informed are fifty to
sixty miles long. Any flumes more than two or three miles in length
should, if possible, be provided with feeders at frequent intervals;
that is, an additional supply of water should be secured and run into
the flume to replenish what will have been lost by leakage, splashing
and evaporation. The water for these feeders may be obtained from the
same stream as the original supply, or from tributary creeks and
springs. Even when all the water visible on the surface has been
taken from a mountain stream at any point, a considerable further sup-
ply will usually appear within a comparatively short distance down
its channels. This fresh supply, or that from any other source, can
be conveyed to the main flow by means of cheaply constructed flat-
bottomed feeder flumes built on a very flat grade, which ordinarily
avoids the necessity of their being of any considerable length. It
is not essential to have these feeders except when the original water
supply is very limited, but they are always a benefit in operating.

Long Length Timber Handled Successfully

In the engineering of the flume on Rochat Creek, in Idaho, which
I built several years ago for the Milwaukee Land Company to float
logs up to forty-eight inches in diameter and twenty-four feet in
length, and poles and piling up to thirty inches in diameter and forty
feet in length, grades to 17 per cent. and curves to 20 degrees were
put in. This flume was the first of its kind built for floating logs,
and it proved a very efficient and satisfactory means of getting out

‘their timber when every other means had been given up as impos-

sible or too expensive. Logs were successfully run through this
flume with less than two cubic second feet of water available.

In considering flumes the essentials necessary to make them eff-
cient, practicable and desirable for logging purposes are simplicity
of design and economy in construction, combined with strength and
rigidity of the structure. Foundations should be carefully prepared
and the trestling and stringers of ample dimensions to give the neces-
sary strength without waste of material. The entire structure should
be carefully and judiciously designed to meet the requirements of each
particular proposition. No fixed rule can be made that will apply in
all cases with regard to the dimensions of any part. Varying condi-
tions necessitate different methods and styles of construction. Where
sawn lumber and timbers are difficult and expensive to procure, round
timber can be used for everything except the brackets and flume box.
I have used round sticks entirely in erecting the trestling for several
log flumes where sawn timbers were difficult to obtain, and expensive.
In other instances I have made use of poles for high trestles in pre-

ference to sawn timbers, when they could be conveniently procured
adjacent to the line of the flume. In one instance a trestle 80 feet
high and several hundred feet in length was constructed entirely of
this kind of material.

The flume box may be built of rough sawn lumber of any width
and suitable thicknesses to meet the requirements. A single thick-

_ ness can be used with battens between brackets on the outside, or two
thicknesses can be used with joints broken and cracks lapped, or a
single thickness may be used by planing with tongue and groove.
When wide plank can be obtained I prefer to use a single thickness
and batten, but when box material must be used in narrow widths it
is preferable to tongue and groove, or use two thicknesses.

The cost of constructing a flume will depend on its size, the diffi-
culties encountered, and the cost of labor and material. A flume hav-
ing sides 54 inches high, measuring along their surface, which would
be large enough to carry logs from 48 to 60 inches in diameter, de-
pending on the species of timber and its specific gravity, could under
the most favorable conditions be built for as little as $4,500 per mile if
all sawn lumber and timbers were used in its construction and delivered
to the construction crew at a price not exceeding $10 per thousand
feet, providing common labor could be secured at a wage of $2.25
per day.

A fair average cost for such a flume would, however, be somewhat
higher, probably from $5,000 to $6,000 per mile. These figures are
intended to include the cost of engineering and the construction of a
telephone line, which should always be a part of the system. Flumes
of larger or smaller size and capacity would cost proportionately more
or less, according to their dimensions and length, except that the
cost of engineering and. telephone line would be approximately the
same, regardless of the size of the flume, The heavier material neces-
sary in large flumes can be worked into the structure at a somewhat
lower cost per thousand feet than the lighter material used in the
smaller one.

The material required to build a flume of the size mentioned, viz.,
with 54-inch sides, would be from 225,000 to 300,000 feet of lumber,
and from $250 to $300 worth of nails and other materials, per mile.

Cheap Means of Transportation

The cost of shipping logs by flume is surprisingly low. ‘The
principal items of the total shipping cost are getting the logs into
the flumes, patrolling and maintaining. There are various methods
for loading or placing logs into the flume. When practicable the cheap-
est and best way is to provide ponds into which the logs are dumped,
and from which they can be floated into the flume direct or through
a short branch flume. In this way one or two men will ship out as
many logs as the flume will carry up to 40,000 or 50,000 feet per hour.
Where a pond is not feasible, skidways can be utilized, built up along
the side of the flume to a convenient height for rolling logs in over
the top of either side. If the shipping point cannot be located where
this method is practicable, a “jammer” can be used to good advantage.
In several instances log chutes have been extended to the side of the
flume and paralleling it, where there was an ample supply of water,
and the logs were shot or propelled to the point where they would
drop into the flume.

The maintenance cost of any flume will depend largely on the
skill and care with which it was designed, engineered and erected, and
the quality of material used in its construction. The principal items
of cost will come from leaks caused by faulty workmanship, settling of
the flume box by reason of these leaks or poorly prepared footings for
the foundations, and the wear of the flume box, the greater part of
which can generally be charged to impracticable curves, either hori-
zontal or vertical, or perhaps both. The wear of the flume box is
ordinarily very slight, even when there is a short supply of water.
The surface of the flume box soon becomes water soaked, and the
wood becomes more tough, stringy and slippei_, in consequence. The
water keeps it thoroughly lubricated and reduces the friction until it
is almost. completely impervious to the wearing effects of the logs
or other material being shipped, even when dragging or riding on
account of scant water supply.

As an example of this, and the low cost of pkeep on a well-
constructed flume, I will again refer to the one built for the Milwaukee
Land Company, There was shipped through this flume. during the
first year of its use about twenty million feet of logs without any ex-
pense for repairs, and with no patrol. The greater part of the fluming
was done after the available water supply reached a low stage, and
was insufficient to float a large percentage of the logs handled, except
as they accumulated their own head to carry them. The only visible
wear on the flume box was on the curves and steep grades, where the
sides were smoothed off almost as though they had been planed. The
most remarkable feature in connection with this record was that the
flume was completed late in the fall previous to the shipping men-
tioned, which was done the following summer. During the winter
there was an unusually heavy snowfall that buried the flume to a
depth of several feet, and in the spring there were freshets and ex-

x Seeneenpes 1, 1916

tremely high water in the creek aiong the banks of which the flum
was built, and in the canyon through which both passed. For so
time portions of the flume were completely submerged, and yet
shipping was commenced and finished for the year without anya re
pairing of the structure.

Generally speaking, there should be a telephone system in conne
tion with the flume to be used for transportation purposes, especis 1

if it is to be of any considerable length, and instruments located
intervals along the line of the flume. These points are common

designated as stations. There should be one of these stations at ey
dangerous point, if there are any, and, in any event, every two |
three miles. Men should be placed along the line of the flume
patrol it from one station to another. The duty of these men shor
be to inspect the structure and watch for weakening places, and rej
them if possible. In case of serious trouble of any kind pertaining
either the flume itself or its operation, which they are unable to re
alone, they would report by ’phone to headquarters, which is ust
at or near the point at which shipping is being done. Barring ser:
accidents the cost of keeping these men on duty will be the only
of maintenance except for a few nails and an occasional piec
lumber. 2
Maintenance Cost is Surprisingly Low

The ordinary life of a well-constructed flume built of such
as fir, larch or spruce, and kept in operation and in reasonab
should be at least twenty years, and under favorable condi
longer.. The only wear on a flume is in the box, and this
with one inch, inch and a quarter or inch and a half lum
has worn enough to require it, and relined as often as r
keep in good working order. There being no wear on t
of the structure, deterioration comes from decay only, and.
depend on the species of timber used and climatic cond

To illustrate the durability of this class of flume, I
following example: In 1893 the first section of what later
into a very extensive flume system was built in Wyomi ac

pany with which I was connected. Lodge pole pine, w h is z
the only kind of timber in that part of the country, was
construction. After this flume had been in successful
about three years I severed my connection with the
left, but returned to resume the management of its affairs a
1908. In the meantime the company had been operating inte
and many miles of additional flume had been constraeaaaas
miles of the first section built was still being used, however, and all
of the hundreds of millions of feet of logs, ties and lumber that
been handled were shipped through it. The flume box had bee
lined three times in places, while other parts had been lined only o:
or twice, and some not at all. The entire original structure was
tact and being used, except where slides or other mishaps had made it it
necessary to replace a few bents, and was continued in use until 1913
when the company quit operating.

Before leaving the subject of log flumes it will, perhaps, be prope per
to make some mention of the lighter, more cheaply constructed cl 4
of flumes used for the transportation of lumber, ties and other p
ducts of the forest. A flume any size from twenty-four to thi
inches high, and of much larger material throughout than that ne
sary for a log flume, is generally all that is required for such servic
and can be built for about half the cost of the smallest practical
size of log flume. Much sharper curves are usually permissible
practicable in their construction. I have constructed flumes of thi
kind for as low a cost as two thousand dollars per mile, and obtai
entirely satisfactory results in their operation. They can be utili
to advantage whenever the conditions will warrant having the saw-
mill located in the timber for carrying the rough lumber to a shipping
point on a railroad. The flume can be built in such a way as to
ceive the lumber as it passes over the trimmer without extra hand
carry it to a yard or planing mill at the railroad shipping point, <
there dump it on sorting chains, which, so far as handine @ is 1
accomplishes the same result as though mill and yard v
ately adjacent to each other, and with no. additional expense aft
flume is constructed except the cost of its operation, which 3
amount to more than a few cents per thousand feet. ,

There are many other purposes besides those mentioned
flumes can be adapted as a means of transportation, where t
prove more economical and effective than any other method.
bably the reason for flumes not being in more common use is
large majority of the people who would have the greatest int
in them as a means of transportation have never had an opport
to become familiar with their possibilities, or the advantages to
gained in using them; consequently when a means of transporta
is being considered, a flume is likely to be entirely overlooked, o
thought of, discarded as i being feasible or of advantage. How-

in general throughout the west would seem to indicate that this means
of transportation will become more generally known in the near future.

Damaged Timber Flume Quickly Repaired

That the operation of a logging flume is accompanied by a cer-
tain amount of risk is shown by the accompanying illustration, which
represents a broken section of the flume operated by the Slocan Val-
ley Lumber Company, at Koch’s Siding, B. C. 17 he break in the
flume occurred about midnight on May 16th last and, so far as the
company are able to discover, was the result of a washout of earth
. upon which the trestle was placed. The amount of damage done was
greatly magnified in the first reports, although, from a superficiai
survey immediately after the occurrence, there seemed to be a very
discouraging prospect of getting the company’s stock of logs flumed
out before the water in the creek receded. The damage was located
at Robertson Creek at a point where the flume crosses the canyon,
about 60 feet below. With so much twisted lumber and broken trestle
lying about in criss-cross shape at an almost inaccessible angle for
the workmen to get started upon repairs, a long tie-up threatened,
but as soon as scaffolding had been put into place the necessary
repairs were completed within four days and sluicing was then re-
sumed. The flume is now in first class shape and the company expect
to sluice out a considerable quantity of timber, saw logs, poles and

fall. The capacity of the intake of the flume is easily one log per
second of the average run of mountain timber.

This flume was constructed by Wm. C. E. Koch and is now
operated by his successors, the Slocan Valley Lumber Company, who
have leased the mill for the purpose of sawing out the timber stand-

having been utilized. Although the flume was erected some three
“years ago, there is little sign of wear and it has given very efficient
service up to date. In some places the flume traverses very preci-
pitous canyons. In fact the whole substructure rests upon trestling,
which was adopted in place of square timber. In the construction
of the fume there was consumed ‘somewhere in the neighborhood of
250,000 feet of timber. It will capably flume sticks up to 80 feet long.

Log Handling for Timber Flume

How They Are Drawn to the Skids, Loaded into the Flume
and Forwarded to the Mill.

logging flumes are discussed in considerable detail in the
article by Mr. W. D. Starbird, M. Can. Soc. C. E., which is
published in this issue. More complete details regarding the
actual operation, and also, to some extent dealing with construction,
in connection with the flume of the Adams River Lumber Company,
whose sawmill is located at Chase, B. C., are given in the present
article, for the information in which we are indebted to an interesting
report by C. R. Mills and H. A. Parker, submitted as a part of their
studies at the Department of Forestry of the University of Toronto.

The topography of the timber berths operated by this company,
and its facilities for water transportation are accountable for the com-
pany having decided to erect a logging flume. The limit under opera-
tion at the time this report was prepared is about 1,000 feet higher
than the mill at Chase. The whole berth slopes to a central valley,
running through which is a creek emptying into Adams River. Big
Shuswap Lake, a short section of the Thompson River, and Little
Shuswap Lake complete the water route to the mill. On account of
the smallness of the logs, comparatively speaking, horses were used
for skidding, instead of donkey engines. From the stump to the flume
is always down grade and pole chutes are used, four or five logs being
drawn at a time by horses. Climatic conditions enable the company
to conduct their logging operations throughout the year with the
exception of about one month during the winter, when the snow is
too deep in the bush. The flume, however, cannot be used in the
winter, or for about six weeks in July and August. During these times
the logs are skidded to the side of the flume, ready to be shot down
when the water is available.

‘4 NHE engineering and construction features in connection with

In the logging operations two men fell the trees, lop the branches
and cut them into log lengths. Careful work is necessary in lop-
ping the branches so as to reduce the wearing of the flume to a mini-
mum. The logs are neither nosed nor peeled. Before the completion
of the flume, skidding was confined to those areas in its immediate
vicinity. The logs were skidded by horses on skidways having their
head blocks within five feet of the flume. When fluming started, a
couple of skids were thrown across onto the flume and two men with
peavies put all the logs that were on or above the level of the flume in-
to the water. Logs below this level were hoisted onto the skids by
horses and decking line.

Chuting Logs to the Flume

The main skidway to any point consists of a three-log chute, with
a road alongside for the use of horses pulling the logs, as the slope
down hill was not sufficient for chuting by gravity. A team of heavy
horses was used to haul four or five logs at a time. This team pulled
on the rear log by means of a chain and dog, the latter being driven
into the log by a light sledge hammer. The lower end of the chute
meets the upper edge of the flume at an angle of about 25 degrees.
The first two logs are forced into the water when the horses are
drawing towards the flume. To put the remainder of the logs, except
one, into the flume, the horses are turned and hitched to a wire rope
passing through a stationary pulley at the flume back to the rear log,
where it is fastened by a dog. A platform is built in the obtuse angle
between the chute and the flume for the use of the horses. Two men
are employed at the end of the chute, the teamster and a man to look
after the dogs.

Skidways were built beside the flume. In the construction of a
skidway, a head block consisting usually of the butt of some large
tree which has been cut off because of its punk heart, is placed on the
ground parallel to the direction in which the skidded logs are to lie.
Two notches, the distance apart depending upon the length of the logs
to be skidded, are cut in it to receive tie front ends of the two skids.
For skids are chosen. two large trees, 8 or 10 inches in diameter at
the base, and which carry this diameter well up. They must be strong,
and as they are usually left on the ground after the logs are removed,
are preferrably of a species which is of little use for saw timber.
These are placed at right angles to the head block projecting over it
by not more than a foot, and with their small ends away from the
flume. Should there be a bend in the skid, the convex side is
always placed tipwards. Unless the number of logs tobe placed on
a skid is very small, a support is placed under each skid. If a suit-
able non-merchantable log can be found it is used, or if not a crib
work is built up. The number of logs on a skidway varies, sometimes
running as high as 125 to 130. ;

Whenever possible, in the construction of the flume, sections were

f CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

put together at the mill where the timber was sawn. Each section
which forms the frame work for the V has a sill of sufficient length
to reach across the stringers and project far enough on one side to
support a plank walk. The V to which 2-in. plank are nailed is sup-
ported by two beams, one on either side. Where trestle is necessary
it is built of unsawn timber. The largest trestle is about 75 feet high
and 500 yards long. In several places the flume runs through cuts
in small ridges, thus cutting off the small turns of the creek bed.
The trough of the flume is of two-inch plank, rising at an angle
of 45 degrees to a height of four feet. Care is taken that there are
no rough joints in the planking which would hold up a log and cause
a jam. The cracks between the planks are battened with 3 in. x 1 in.
strips. The plank walk extends along the side for the use of the men
on guard to prevent jams during the fluming. The grade of the flume
varies from 2 to 25 per cent. On the 25 per cent. grade, the water
runs at such speed that the depth is greatly decreased. To over-
come this, a feed enters just above. It is built with flat bottom and
vertical sides, of dressed inch lumber, held in place by 2 in. x 4 in.
scantling. At the upper end of the main flume the flow of water is
controlled by a dam constructed of rough timber, stone, earth, and

and about eighteen miles east of the Georgian Bay. The town is
situated on the north bank of the Spanish River at its confluence
with the Sable River.

The company have operated from this point for about thirty-
five years, but in 1904 their affairs passed into the hands of the pre-
sent owners and from that date their operations have constantly ex-
panded until at the present date they are among the largest operators
in the province.

The company control an area of timber lands considerably in ex-
cess of one thousand square miles, and operate from eight to fourteen
lumber camps annually, in addition to a number of small jobbers, so
that their annual production runs into several hundred thousands of
logs, consisting mainly of white and Norway pine.

The Spanish River Lumber Company own two large mills, situ-
ated at Aird Island, in the Georgian Bay, and at the village of Cutler,
on the Soo branch, the two mills being capable of taking care of all
the raw material produced in the company’s limits. The product of
the Aird Island mill is shipped entirely by water, but the mill at
Cutler has both lake and rail shipping facilities. Until a few years
ago the company sold their product exclusively to the wholesale trade
in United States centres, but four or five years ago they established
a large wholesale and retail yard at Sarnia, Ont., under the superin-
tendence of Mr. Harry Turnbull, and from this point they entered the

Each guard has about a mile of flume to watch, and has near at hand
a telephone connected with the skidways and main camp. ;

The logs after leaving the flume are left to float down the Adams
River to Shuswap Lake of their own accord. Here they are caught
in a boom, held around the mouth of the river by piling. The boom
is fastened together by ring-dogs and chains. From here they are
towed in bag booms by a stern-wheel steamer, or an alligator, across
the end of the lake, down the short section of the Thompson River
to Little Shuswap Lake, and through it to the mill at Chase. There
are usually six in the boat crew; captain, engineer, fireman, two dee
hands, and a cook. The boom is attached to the bow of the boat, th
boat travelling stern foremost. These boats are also used for gath or
ing up stray logs along the shore of the lake. To gather these th
logs are rolled into the water by hand or with the help of horses. Th
boat is furnished with a boom, one end of which is fastened to #

The company’s mill at Cutler was built in 1915, the old mill hay
ing been destroyed by fire in the spring of that year. A unique fea-
ture of the Cutler mill is that the entire foundation is constructed of
concrete. This feature, together with the fact of the mill being equip-
ped exclusively with band saws, makes it probably the-most modern
and up-to-date plant on the North Shore.

F Special Road Built for Supply Truck
Obtaining large new limits in the Nipissing forest reserve on and
near Sable Lake, which forms the head water of the Sable River,
the Company commenced the construction of a road from Massey to
Ritchie Falls depot (the distributing point for the new limits) a dis-
tance approximately of fifty miles, and by the time the operating
season of 1915 opened, they had completed about twenty miles of the
road to an extent that admitted of the use of a three-ton Packard
motor truck in the transportation of lumbering supplies; an innova
tion in saw-logging operations that must be admitted as being suffici-
ently modern to make uneasy the rest of the departed lumber jacks
of the old school.
The truck operated by the company is a three-ton Packard, 1915_
model. Last summer and fall they forwarded supplies north of Mas
sey with this truck, making an average of 75 miles per day with a
full load and doing the work of nine pairs of horses and wagons. Their

tote road has now been completed and put in shape for truck or auto-
mobile traffic for a distance of 30 miles north from Massey. They
still have about thirty miles to finish, which may not be completed
until next year, on account of the present scarcity of labor. The illus-
tration shows the truck on one of its trips loaded to capacity with three
tons and 500 Ibs. of sacked oats. The road was constructed at a cost
of $500 per mile.
In connection with these limits the company constructed a very
large reserve dam on the Sable River at Ritchie Falls depot, which
ries a head of from seventeen to twenty feet of water, Sable Lake
s five miles distant from the dam, and the lake, having a very large
ral area, it is not difficult to understand that such a thing as a
drive on the Sable River from drought, does not enter into
company’s calculations.
Another large limit is situated on the North Shore of the Georgian
about twenty-five miles northeast of Little Current. The opera-
there are carried on under the local superintendence of Mr. Henry
with headquarters on the limits at a point known as Bay Finn.
exceptionally fine quality of pine is obtained from this limit which
about ninety square miles in extent.
Other operations of the company are conducted from Cartier on
main line of the C. P. R., the logs watering in the main Spanish
iver. Also at Thor Lake, on the main line of the Canadian Northern
ailway, about sixty miles north of Sudbury, the logs reaching the
eorgian Bay through the upper reaches of the Wahnapitae River.
The disastrous wind storm of 1914 which laid low so many millions
of feet of valuable timber throughout northern Ontario, affected the
company to a considerable extent, but until the present season the
apany have been most fortunate with respect to forest fires, when
extent and exposed position of some of their limits is taken into
consideration. This season, however, the almost universal forest fires
entered their district and caused considerable loss, both of timber
and river improvements. A little adversity, however, only seems to
let loose reserve energy, and if the opposition of the elements has in
7 way upset the plans of the company, it is not discernible to the
-onlooker, and causes no interruption to the regular routine.
Naturally, the company employ a very large and varied number
of employees, of almost every conceivable capacity, and their monthly
y-roll forms an item in dollars and cents big enough to make any
easonable person sit up and take a little notice. Needless to say, their
ations are of large importance to the district lying between Sud-
ry and Sault Ste. Marie.
The company mills at Aird Island and Cutler have always been
under the superintendence of Mr. J. O. Smith, of Bay City, Mich., a
tleman of so genial a disposition that he is hail fellow, well met,
erever he happens to put in an appearance. Unfortunately, he is at
nt on sick leave, but if numerous good wishes are of any avail,
will soon resume his activities. During his absence the supervi-
is in the hands of Mr. A. J. McDonell, the secretary-treasurer of
Spanish Mills Company.
There are considerable quantities of valuable hardwoods on the
pany’s limits that have not yet been dealt with, but it is quite with-
in the probabilities that at some suitable future date hardwood pro-
duction will be added to the company’s activities.

oe: Headquarters at Massey, Ont.
At Massey, the company occupy quite a large plant, consisting
eneral offices, warehouses, barns, boarding houses, etc., and close
town on the bank of the Sable River are several large feed
‘ach one hundred by thirty feet, in which the company spring
rses between seasons. In connection their is also a chop-
which all hay, oats, etc., are cut up and then steamed in
s of piping from the mill boiler. The prepared fodder is
to the barns by means of an overhead carrier in,a large

How to Build a Camp Fire

Most lumbermen know how to build a camp fire and how to put
it out when they have finished with it. It is often the expert swimmer,
however, who gets drowned, and by the same line of thought we do
not need to apologize for reproducing the following instructions about
handling camp fires, published by the U. S. Forest Service.

There are several varieties of camp fires, most of them simple
and effective and easily constructed even by a novice in camping.
There must be considered not only the kind of camp fire which gives
the best service but the kind which is least dangerous. The man who
is careless with his camp fire should not be allowed in the woods, for
all too frequently he is responsible for forest fires which do tremendous
damage.

Camp stoves should be taken whenever they can be transported.
They are safer than open fires, more convenient, require less fuel, and
do not blacken the cooking utensils. Collapsible sheet-iron stoves may
be obtained.

In the absence of a stove an open fire must be built. A safe and
serviceable fireplace can be made of rocks placed in a small circle
so as to support the utensils. Where rocks are not obtainable, poles
may be used.

For permanent camps it pays to build a stone fireplace. A piece
of sheet iron will prevent the blackening of the pans and makes a
better draft.

For temporary camps the fire should be built as follows :—

Dig a hole about a foot deep and about three or four feet in
diameter. Shovel away the side toward the wind. Lay green poles
across the hole to support the pots and pans, and build the fire under-
neath.

Fire irons are often a great convenience. A piece of three-eighths-
inch round iron four feet long is bent at right angles a foot from each
end and the ends are sharpened. Two of these irons are placed side
by side, the ends are driven into the ground and the fire kindled be-
neath them. Instead of being made in one piece, the pegs and cross-

' bars may be connected by rings in the ends. They will then fold and

be easier to pack.

Camp fires should never be larger than necessary, and the utmost
care should be taken to prevent sparks from being carried into the
neighboring forest. Clear away the litter for a considerable space
about the fire. And be sure to put the fire out before you leave it.

A shovel is nearly as important a tool as an axe in camping.
Do not count on finding one along the way, but put one in your outfit.

During wet weather look for kindling in burned pine butts or in
pine knots. The under side of a leaning tree will usually contain
dry material. Dead branches that have not yet fallen are drier than
those on the ground. Bark from fir snags is excellent fuel.

Where matches are scarce or when the weather is stormy, first
light a candle and kindle your fire from that.

Hints on fire protection are always timely and fit particularly
well with these instructions about camp fires.

’ The first thing is prevention. Be particularly careful with camp
fire, matches, and tobacco.

Scrape all inflammable material from around the fire before light-
ing it. Make a fireplace either by digging a hole or by poling up
rocks. The fire will then not only be safer, but will draw better.

Before leaving camp see that the last spark is extinguished. Pour
water on the embers and then cover them with earth.

Don’t make your fire too large. Large fires are not as convenient
to cook by as small ones and are more trouble to put out.

If you discover a fire, go to it at once and put it out if you can.
A small fire can be put out easily by throwing handfuls of earth,
sand, or dust at the base of the flame. The flames may also be beaten
down with sacks or with branches, but care must be taken not to
scatter the fire.

If the fire is spreading too rapidly to be attacked directly, cut and
scrape a trail some distance ahead of it. Do not back-fire; this is
work for an experienced man. If a fire is serious enough to require
this treatment, the work should be left to a ranger.

The best tools for fire fighting are the shovel, axe, and hoe or
rake. In open pine forest very little axe work will be required. Shovel
or rake a trail through the needles down to mineral soil, and guard the
trail.

To stop a fire burning in brush the trail must first be cut with
the axe and then scraped. The brush should be thrown to the side
away from the fire. The litter may be scraped toward the fire.

Pick a route for the fire trail that will avoid brush patches if
possible. The crest of a ridge is an excellent location, since the fire
naturally checks at the top.

Do not give up because the fire is gaining headway or because
you lack tools. The fire has probably already been reported by look-
outs, and rangers hurrying to it properly equipped. Stay and help
them; and in the meantime do what you can to keep it in check.

See that a fire is cold before you leave it.

Forest Telephones and Fire Protection

Immediate Communication All-important in Preventing Conflagrations—Recent

Developments that Make Effective Work Possible

By W.N. Millar* —

OR the improvement of fire protec-
tion on the Dominion Forest Re-

serves, the Forestry Branch of the

Department of the Interior has,
during the past four years, followed out a
policy of gradual extension of telephone
lines into the large reserves under its
charge in the four western provinces. The
total mileage thus constructed is at present
about 710 miles, distributed approximately as follows :—

Government

British Columbia Reserves ... 75 miles.
Alberta Reserves : 265 miles
Saskatchewan Reserves 50 miles

Manitoba Reserves ... 320 miles

otells sey: 710 miles

Compared with the 320,000 miles of forest telephone lines con-
structed by the United States Forest Service on the National Forests
during the past eight years, this is, of course, only a small beginning,
but the intention is to enlarge the work of telephone construction as
rapidly as proper experience and skill are secured in the work, and
as funds permit. In line with this intention the Forestry Branch in-
augurated during the present field season a systematic course of in-
struction in certain specific phases of telephone work. Four meet-
ings were held which were attended by some sixty forest rangers
and supervisors of the permanent field staff in Alberta and Saskatche-
wan. Each meeting lasted from six to eight days, and the entire time
was devoted to lectures on the special types of telephone equipment
used on forest protection lines, illustrated by samples of the equip-
ment itself, and to practical work of line construction and the installa-
tion and operation of equipment. All the meetings were held on, or
immediately adjacent to forest reserves, where it was possible to build
a demonstration line under normal average field conditions, using the
regular standard equipment and methods prescribed by the Forestry
Branch. This work was under the charge of the writer, who, in addi-
tion to a theoretical knowledge of telephony has had eight years of
practical experience in the construction of hundreds of miles of forest
telephone lines, beginning with the first lines of this character built
by the United States Forest Service in Northern Idaho in 1908.

Special Line Construction Required

It is not, perhaps, generally realized that the type of line con-
structon adapted to forest protection purposes has, in the past five
years, become very thoroughly specialized and that it differs materi-
ally from the ordinary methods of rural and commercial construc-
tion. This specialization is rendered necessary by the fact that many
forest protection lines must, for reasons of economy, be built through
heavy timber without clearing the wide right-of-way demanded in
commercial construction. Of course, where a suitable open right-of-
way is available construction methods and specifications are similar
to those employed on ordinary rural lines, but this is the exception
rather than the rule.

Briefly described, forest protection telephone systems consist of —

grounded lines built of number 9 B.W.G. galvanized iron wire hung
on trees instead of poles, and using a special split tree insulator in-
stead of the usual well-known type of glass insulator employed on
poles. To prevent damage from falling timber and swaying trees,
certain rules of construction must be very carefully observed. These
provide for a careful equalization of spans, for the leaving of a very
large amount of slack, for the placing of ties on the concave side of all
curves, for the staggering of supports out of a straight line, and for the
employment of special methods of attaching the insulators to the trees
so devised that when an excessive strain comes on the line wire, as
through the fall of a tree the wire will be detached from the support
and carried to the ground, but will not break. The whole construc-
tion aims to produce a line that, while resisting all ordinary strains,
yields at once to excessive strain in such a way as to insure absolutely
against line breakage. In this it differs radically from the well-known
methods employed in. ordinary commercial practice, which produces a
line of extreme rigidity because the open right-of-way insures against
the danger of falling timber to which the forest line is constantly
exposed. ;

The instruments used are the most power-
ful types of magneto sets employing local
batteries and code ringing. Such a set is
the 1317-S set of the Northern Electric Com-
pany, equipped with a 2500 ohm, unbiased
ringer and a .5 microfarad condenser wired
in series in the receiver circuit. With these
sets and a well constructed line it is possible
to get good service over about 125 miles of
No. 9 wire, to which from 20 to 25 such instruments have been at-
tached. For installation on lookout peaks and other exposed sites, a
special armored mine telephone is employed, while for temporary
camps a light self-contained ten pound set has been specially devised.

Perhaps the most cleverly designed of all the equipment, how-
ever, is the aluminum pocket telephone, weighing only two pounds,
which is used by the rangers for getting into communication with —
headquarters from any place along the telephone line in the forest. —
This is a new type invented by R. B. Adams, of the U. S. Forest Ser-
vice, and fills a long felt want for a thoroughly practical long dis-
tance telephone, that at the same time would be so light as to form
only an inconsiderable addition to a ranger’s pack while on patrol.

Cost of Construction and Maintenance

The cost of telephone construction and maintenance is naturally
an element of great importance in forest protection for such lines
almost never serve any other purpose unless used in connection with
a logging operation, and, of course, produce no direct revenue. As
already indicated, the special tree line methods and equipment evolved
from the experience of the past eight to ten years are all aimed at the
production of a line having a low initial cost and a high degree of
dependability with a maintenance problem adapted to the lines’ pecu-
liar conditions of employment. Four distinct cost elements enter
into an estimate for a forest telephone line. These are materials, ©
transportation, line clearing and wire stringing.

Present material prices are so abnormal that little construction —
is now being attempted, but under ordinary conditions the per mile
cost of line materials lies between $9 and $12, according to freight
rates from nearest market. Of this, only about $2 to $3 is for in-
sulators and ties, the rest being for line wire. The equipment for
each station costs from $15 to $18.

Transportation covers the distribution of materials along the line
and camp moving. It naturally depends on the distance involved and
the facilities available. Four hundred pounds of material per mile
of line must be delivered. In any ordinary case it is a small element
in the total cost.

Line clearing is often a large element and always a variable one,
as it depends entirely on the character of the timber through which the
line is built. Of course, only a very narrow clearing is required, 6
to 8 feet as a rule, and often a road or trail is already available. The

How the Telephone is Used

_A brief description of how the telephone is utilized as an aid in
protection may be of interest.
neous communication which a telephone makes possible, re-
of the distance involved, renders possible the rapid summon-
f assistance by a fire ranger in a remote section of the forest, and
the control of fires that might otherwise grow to uncontrollable
rtions. Also, it is equally obvious that where, as in all but the
primitive of fire ranging services, there is a separation of the
foree into an executive and an administative staff, it is possible
eans of the telephone to link up the supervising officer with his
rdinates and thus provide for coordination of the work of the
over a large district and for mutual assistance under the
of a central intelligence. This is about as far as any fire
ng service in Canada has as yet carried the utilization of the
ne in forest protection, while it is unfortunately true that some
-y largest and most costly of all, notably the fire ranging
Ontario, make no use of the telephone whatever, but de-
2 individual, unaided and undirected efforts of a large un-
staff, with what results the recent fires in the north have
. As a matter of fact, however, only the outer fringe of the
of the utilization of the telephone in forest protection
ched when it is used only to the extent above indicated.
‘protection in recent years has taken enormous strides
, and it has been realized at last that the problem of

y bit as difficult and involved a technical and admin-
m as is, for instance, the operation of a lumber busi-
e commercial undertaking. The result has been the
of what is known as specialized forest protection and a
ss of trained experts in the art of protecting forests from
amental problems present themselves. The one is
of fires. The other is the suppression of those not pre-
e nearly all fires are due to human agencies, fire pre-

mn to prevention work.
pression, however, is a wholly different problem, and one
- all prevention efforts that may reasonably be antici-

suppression methods are based upon a very simple and
fact, namely, that every very large fire was once a very
id that the one sure way to prevent the large destructive
irring is to put all fires out when they are small. There
ays by which this may be accomplished. The one is

qualifications are required in the personnel. No elaborate organiza-
tion or inspection is necessary, and very many jobs are’ made avail-
able. Accordingly, this system has been very much favored by cer-
tain governmental fire ranging bureaus, which saw in the comparative
obscurity of the fire rangers’ work a chance to reward many lesser
party workers at public expense without the fact being too glaringly
conspicuous.
Ontario’s Extravagance and Failure

So, in Ontario, for instance, there has grown up what it will sur-
prise most persons to learn is the largest fire ranging staff in the
Western Hemisphere, a staff consisting all told of more than 1,000
men, whose sole duty is fire protection. Of course, fire protection can
be secured by this means, but only at enormous expense, and expense
commensurate in fact with what would be required to protect our
cities from fire according to modern requirements, but employing only
the old-time bucket brigade. Such an expense is wholly impractic-
able over any large timber area, and so we have, even in Ontario,
with its strikingly high per acre expenditure for fire protection, a
constant and widespread destruction of forests occurring, year after
year, throughout the north, but brought to gevvral public notice only
at irregular periods when by chance one of these large fires happens
to involve a village or town as in Porcupine in 1911, or again during
the present season at Matheson and Cochrane. Of course, under this
system forest telephone lines are not utilized because each ranger
acts for himself independently of all others. There is only a rudiment-
ary development of direction by a central intelligence, and there is
therefore no need for direct and speedy means of intercommunication
between the various elements of the fire ranging staff.

The modern method of specialized forest fire protection operates
on a wholly different plan which would be entirely impracticable
were it not for the telephone. There is nothing mysterious about
these methods, however. They are, in fact, nothing more or less than
the application to forest protection of the same factors that have
produced our modern industrial development, namely, specialization
of function, training of workers and the use of mechanical aids to
increase human effectiveness.

Obviously three things must be provided for if all fires are to be
extinguished in their incipiency.

They must first be discovered while they are still in the con-
trollable stage.

They must then be reached by a force of men of sufficient num-
bers and properly equipped to put them out.

They must finally be put out by this force and that so thoroughly
that all danger of recurrence is rendered impossible.

How the Staff Co-operates

The modern forest protection staff accomplishes these things in
the following manner:

Fires are discovered and their exact location determined by a
special corps of lookouts who have no other function to perform.
These lookouts are placed on commanding peaks or towers where
they remain continuously during the daylight hours throughout the
fire season. Each is provided with a special lookout map of his
district, with a fire locating device and with a telephone connecting
him with a central headquarters at which all lookout reports are
received and where the actual work of determining the precise loca-
tion of fires is done.. A large amount of special equipment has been
invented in recent years to facilitate the rapid and precise location of
fires from such lookout peaks, so that now in certain large forest
areas of the western states, it is a matter of minutes only from the
time a fire starts until it is detected and accurately located by a look-
out. The vital necessity for telephone communication at the lookout
station is evident, for obviously, since the lookout merely locates fires
and does not extinguish them, he would be useless without some
means of conveying his information to some other agency. Many
factors enter into the problem of the number of lookouts required, but
as a rule each covers an area roughly approximating a circle thirty
miles in diameter. ;

Once the fire is exactly located, however, and this information
conveyed to a central headquarters, the next obvious step is to dis-
patch a force for its suppression. Since an intensive lookout’s equip-
ment should discover all fires while they are still incipient, this force
need not be larger than one man. This man must, however, be im-
mediately available at all times, and must be both capable of reaching
the fire and equipped to attack and control it when he does reach it.
These requirements are best met by a strong active woodsman, thor-
oughly acquainted with his:own district, who is kept permanently
stationed at some centrally located point in this district and con-
nected by telephone with the center’s fire central headquarters for
the entire region. Such a unit is called a “smoke chaser,” and immedi-
ately when the discovery of a fire in any district, the “smoke chaser”
for that district is to go immediately to the fire and put it out. In
doing this he also has various aids. Improved routes of travel, such
as trails or roads through his district are of prime importance. Means

2 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

of transportation adapted to the country are obviously necessary and
may vary all the way from his own two legs to a motor car. Special
tools for fire fighting, light camp outfits and the new light telephone
are part of a “smoke chaser’s” equipment. Everything possible in
the way of permanent improvements and mechanical equipment is
furnished to this smoke chaser with the one object of assisting him
to get to the fire with the least possible delay and be able to make
the best possible fight against it when he arrives.

Emergency Safeguards

Finally, there is the question of providing supports and reserves
so as to be safe against any emergency. Even though the lookouts
and smoke chasers successfully discover and extinguish 99 out of
every 100 fires, there is always the chance that that odd hundredth fire
which some unforeseen slip in the fire fighting machine has allowed to
escape, will do a large amount of damage. Therefore, it is necessary
to organize the entire available labor force of the local community
so that it may be relied upon to act as a reserve fire fighting force
in case the regular staff is unable to cope with the situation. In this,
the telephone is an invaluable assistance, making possible as it does
immediate communication with all sources of extra labor and render-
ing feasible the summoning of such labor to the points where an emer-
gency threatens to develop.

To some, the system above outlined may appear somewhat com-
plicated or even fanciful. As a matter of fact, this system is to-day
actually in operation over timber lands in the United States bearing
at least double the total timber stand of all Canada. In these forests
a fire that covers a couple of hundred acres is now considered a
disaster and an immediate investigation to determine the cause of
the breakdown in the system is begun. Compare this with the recent
fire in the north, where at least 750,000 acres were involved in one
fire, and it is only one of hundreds, noticed only because it involved
a few villages and destroyed many lives, while the others destroyed
only one of the vital resources of the province, and being remote from
the railroad can be easily concealed.

Finally, abundant figures are available to prove that this system
is not only efficient but cheap. Every business man appreciates the
fact that labor-saving machinery is cheaper than human labor, and
that although skilled employees draw higher pay than unskilled, this
pay is very far from representing the increased efficiency of the
skilled over the unskilled man. Specialized fire protection is made
cheap by using labor-saving machinery and skilled men for the very
same reason that factory made products are cheaper than hand made,
but specialized fire protection and political patronage methods of
employing rangers are two things that are wholly incompatible in
actual practice. The proof is simple. The combination simply does
not exist.

The Telephone in B.C. Logging Camps
By J. D. Gilmour

Speedy and reliable means of communication is one of the necessi-
ties in fire protection ; it is also very desirable in the logging business.
In some places on the coast of British Columbia and in some of the
heavily timbered valleys of the interior, there is no likelihood of com-
mercial telephone lines being built for many years. Until recent times

many logging camps were situated in such locations, without any

means of communication with the outside world except an infrequent
mail service, or in case of emergency long trips had to be made by
launch or trail. Conditions, however, are gradually being changed,
and now many logging camps previously without direct connection. are
linked up by Forest Branch telephone lines.

Such lines are not only a great convenience to the logger, but
are of inestimable advantage to the Forest Branch during the fire
season. There is considerable fire risk inherent in the logging busi-
ness, not only on account of the hazard created by the crew, but haz-
ards due to steam logging with donkeys and locomotives.. In many
parts of the province logging camps are the only available men for
fire fighting and by means of the telephone may be summoned quickly
from the nearest camps to the scene of the fire. The fire season of
1915 on the Coast was the first bad season since the telephone’ line
to the Coast logging camps was constructed, and its worth was con-
clusively demonstrated many times.

Outside the fire season a system of co-operation in maintenance
of such telephone lines has worked satisfactorily, the loggers being
willing to contribute part of the cost during the winter months. Dur-
ing the summer the Forest Branch bears the whole cost of main-
tenarice.

Existing commercial lines are used wherever possible, and the
Forest Branch lines are nearly all connected to other lines belonging
to the Dominion Government and private companies. Precedence is
given to messages regarding fire by all operators. Ranchers are glad
to become voluntary members of the fire protection force, and report
any fires starting in their neighborhood, in return for connection with
the Forest Branch lines. Such instruments are free to the public, toll

HE manifestly urgent necessity for the enactment of a new
-and sensible forest fire protection act by the Province of
Ontario, has been so persistently and convincingly shouted
from the house tops by Mr. Robson Black, the energetic Sec-
- of the Canadian Forestry Association, that most right think-
eople realized the seriousness of the situation some time ago.
however, since the great conflagration in northern Ontario,
the stupid may understand what Mr. Black meant when he drew
res with uncanny accuracy, forecasting the fate that awaited
ds of Trade, etc., what pitiful reading today in the light of those
north country. And all those petitions from municipal councils,
rible and recent events they so nervously sought to forestall.
_ The cause of the great northern Ontario fire was settlers’ fires.
The cause of these fires was the lack of laws governing same, because
the Provincial Government has always been afraid to offend settlers
thus lose votes. Were these pioneer settlers composed of people
erienced in bush life it would have been comparatively easy to
cate them as to the terrible dangers. But they came, most of them,
m parts where there has been no knowledge of bush fires. Many
hem cannot handle an axe when they come to the north. Others
me from foreign lands and know even less of pioneer conditions.
1 the Government try to warn them? Was anything done to
oid or forestall recklessness even after the great Porcupine fire of
1911 had swept through the country? Well, if any efficient measures
were taken they have not been heard of by the writer, after years
experience throughout the entire north region.
Incredible as it is, one is almost forced to believe that the policy
as been one which was recently spluttered in some prattling non-
se by a Toronto daily, advancing with Teutonic logic some sophis-
1 theory that it is better to burn the northern forest anyway.
Nothing further need be written descriptive of the losses and
ages of the fire except merely to state that hundreds of square
iles have been burnt, with freakish pranks selecting a section here
and avoiding another there.

The problem facing us is to prevent the recurrence of such dis-
uraging losses, to save the forest for economic development and
clear the land in such manner as to derive the greatest benefit
all. With this end in view, no doubt the Ontario Government
lready preparing a new Act. But will it be of the right kind?
1 it be prepared by lawyers and arm-chair experts or will the
vice of experienced woodsmen be sought? Then perhaps the fear
£ spending a dollar to save a million may be a ruling influence.

: Timber Owners Have Shown the Way

May we therefore, in view of these forebodings, commend to the
ittention of the Government such efficient fire protective organiza-
is as the St. Maurice Valley and Lower Ottawa systems. Or
ay not attention be directed to the efforts for protecting the large
timber areas of Mr. M. J. O’Brien in the Upper Ottawa and the
<tensive limits of the Mattagami Pulp & Paper Company in northern
rio. As several interesting papers have already been published
ling the first two, attention may now be directed to the suc-
; attending the systems of protection for the O’Brien and the
tagami Company limits.

ied to secure the co-operation of adjoining limit owners in
g up-to-date methods. Failing in this because old hap-
methods seemed too deeply rooted with many of his neigh-
O’Brien inaugurated a system that has proven most effici-
ytecting not only his own areas, but necessarily much ad-
perty where, time and again, small fires have been detected

graph office enables head office in Montreal or elsewhere to get daily
reports of the entire area if desired. To operate such a system suc-
cessfully the rangers need only know reading and writing by way
of education in order quickly to master the Morse code for signalling
purposes. The international code as used by the British and Can-
adian forces is the one used. ,

The duties of the rangers include intercepting all persons enter-
ing the limits. These travellers are treated with extreme courtesy
and promptly educated as to fire dangers. Every possible assistance
is given them and when they pass on, their presence and destination
is flashed to all stations. Though all this may sound elaborate, the
cost of such a system is no greater than the old fashioned method
of having rangers poke along like moles, oblivious of all that is going
on except in their immediate vicinity. Indeed, if all adjoining limit
owners were to co-operate, the cost would be less than the old, ineffi-
cient method.

Mattagami Company’s Successful Protection

Learning of this system of fire protection Mr. A. G. McIntyre,
who, as a technical man has already done so much for the forest in-
dustry in Canada, gave instructions for the organization of such a
system on the extensive timber areas of the Mattagami Pulp & Paper
Company in northern Ontario. During the present summer this sys-
tem has been introduced and plans are developing for its greater
elaboration in detail. So successful has been the operation of this
system that, even in its incompleteness, small fires were detected and
extinguished before they could gain headway, and from the several
prominent lookout stations on these limits dozens of settlers’ fires
visible thirty and forty miles distant were reported long before they
were fanned into the recent great fire. But what could the rangers
do? The Act permits settlers to burn their brush at any time of the
year, and though sensible and experienced pioneers know better, it
must be remembered that most northern Ontario settlers are from
parts where bush fires are unknown, and therefore their consequences
not appreciated. :

Had the Act provided measures against the setting of such fires,
the fire rangers of the Mattagami Pulp & Paper Company could easily
have prevented the spread of these scattered fires by reporting to
proper authorities, but alas, if there are such authorities as field men,
their presence is not much known in the north. And that the Matta-
gami limits, though surrounded by the recent big fire, suffered no
damage, is not entirely due to good luck, the system claims some
credit. Not only can the Mattagami fire rangers cover every square
mile of their limits from their stations, but they can now see across
settlers’ and Crown lands a distance of thirty-five to forty miles into
the limits of the Abitibi Power and Paper Company. It is therefore
hoped that the latter company, with the Ontario Government, will
link up and co-operate with the Mattagami system, and thus it can
be extended to the O’Brien limits, where from their stations several
station sites are visible on the Abitibi limits. ;

An efficient system at less cost than the present haphazard
methods can thus be organized to cover the whole of northern Ontario.

Good Results of Quebec Laws

During the last session of the legislature of Quebec, several
amendments were made to the Fire Act, which are calculated to add
materially to its strength and efficiency.

One of these provisions requires that settlers engaged in clear-
ing operations must, between April 1 and November 15 of each year,
secure a burning permit from an authorized forest officer before set-
ting out clearing fires. Wherever this provision is properly enforced,
it will undoubtedly bring about a very material reduction in the forest
fire loss. One of the most serious features of the fire situation in all
the provinces of Canada is the tendency of settlers to burn debris dur-
ing dry periods, when fire is likely to spread and cause serious dam-
age. A similar provision is urgently needed in Northern Ontario,
where there is practically no control of settlers clearing operations.

Another amendment to the Quebec Act provides that the debris
from settlers’ clearing operations must, before burning, be piled in
heaps or rows at a distance of at least fifty feet from the forest. On
this basis, it is much more practicable to control the fire than where
the old method of broadcast burning is resorted to.

Holders of timber licenses on Crown lands are required to clear

4 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

away the debris on a depth of one hundred feet from railway rights of
way. This is an excellent provision, but should be made applicable
to privately owned lands as well. In many cases, the efforts of rail-
way companies in the direction of fire protection are largely neutral-
ized through the presence of large quantities of the most inflammable
debris on lands immediately adjacent to railway rights of way.

Another excellent provision of the new Quebec Act is that any
fire ranger or other forest officer may summon any male citizen be-
tween 18 and 55 years of age to assist in extinguishing any forest
fire, the rate of pay being specified, and penalty being provided for
failure to obey the summons.

The fire laws of the province of Quebec are among the most pro-
gressive in Canada, but larger appropriations are needed to make
them fully effective. In particular, provision should be made for a
larger staff of inspectors. The present staff is not sufficient to exercise
proper supervision over the fire rangers on licensed lands, nor is
there adequate provision for the protection of Crown lands not under
license —C. L. in “Conservation.”

Ontario’s Unscientific Fire Ranging

The criticisms expressed in our editorial of August 15th regard-
ing the forest fire situation in northern Ontario are forcibly cor-
roborated in a letter that we have received from one of our readers
who is in close touch with conditions in the country that was recently
devastated by fire. Although our correspondent does not care to have
his name published in this connection, his views seem to us to be so
fully in accord with the facts and to justify the criticisms we published
so fully, that we feel we should reproduce them in full. Writing under
date of August 15th this correspondent says :—

“I have spent two weeks studying conditions very closely in the North
country since the recent fire, and would like to make a number of suggestions
to you for your thought and investigation.

“4st. The very inadequate and unscientific policy of the government in
connection with fire ranging, with which you are familiar.

“ond. The necessity for the government restricting the townships for
settlement, in some proper proportion to the number of settlers annually go-
ing into the country. In this way, they will then be in a position to provide
such settlers with proper roads, schools, etc., and this will permit large clear-
ings to be made in one place, which will protect the settlers’ property.

“The lesson unquestionably demonstrated by this recent fire is that the
only safe protection against forest fires is cultivated land. Instead of allow-
ing settlers to go into the bush and cut down two or three acres, setting on
fire hundreds of acres more, it would be a great deal preferable to have them
in communities and close together, so that each settler’s clearing would be
a protection to himself and to the community, whereas a small clearing in the
middle of the bush is no protection whatever.

“3rd. The main lesson to be taken from the Northern fire, it seems to
me, is that the government should certainly give to limit holders the right
and authority to maintain and protect their limits. At the present time, they
are not allowed to prohibit access to these limits to anyone, with the result
that campers, hunters, gum pickers, prospectors, etc., are continually wander-
ing through these limits, setting fires promiscuously.

“When the government sells or leases such a limit to a company, who
proceeds with development, they should give that company the right to ex-
clude any or all persons from these limits without a pass or permit from the
officer in charge of the limit.

“The only successful method to combat the northern fires is to prevent
them before they start, because once a forest fire is under way with a good
heavy wind, no human means can stay it. ;

“With proper fire ranging and such safeguarding, three-quarters of the fires
in the country would never start. The balance could be so minimized that
the danger would be gradually reduced to a negligible item. ~ :

“You will notice in the Toronto World recently, an item relative to this
discussion, claiming that the forests are a menace instead of an asset to the
province. This statement should be very forcibly disputed because under
proper protection and system, the forests and timber lands go hand in hand
with the settler in the development of the country; the rights of such should
be maintained and can easily be arranged not to overlap in any way.”

A Story of Lumber Camp Life

The fascination of life in the virgin forests of Canada has been
the theme of many a novel in recent days. Unquestionably there is a
wide fiield of romance and tragedy waiting in the north land of Can-
ada for the pen of some literary genius to turn into many a stirring
tale. A good story of northern logging life is told in “The Man
Trail,” by Henry Oyen, published by Geo. H. Doran Company, New
York, and sold in Canada by the Musson Book Company, Toronto,
at $1.25. The story gives one a capital, though somewhat lurid view
of the way in which things are done in a lumber camp. Possibly there
is a shade too much melodrama in the book, but it is none the less
a stirring tale and one that holds the reader from first to last. Natur-
ally, as one would expect in such a novel, there is a full grown love
story running through it and the incidents of the book centre chiefly

around the efforts of the hero to make good as a camp forema
order to win the hand of the logging king’s daughter. The si
ful way in which the writer keeps up the interest throughout
book is best shown by reproducing the following typical portion :—

One usually thinks of the logging industry in Northern Ontario
as being confined to the production of softwood logs, but there is
~ quite an extensive and growing industry concerned in the production
of hardwoods. In the early days, the hardwoods were ignored because
_ of the impossibility of getting them to a place where they could be
manufactured. Not being floatable, the hardwoods had to wait for
the arrival of the railroads and it is this development that has brought
~ about the extensive production of hardwood that is now taking place
‘in districts that were at one time more celebrated for their softwoods.
a From time to time we have had the privilege of describing vari-
ous hardwood operations in northern Ontario. It is our pleasure
_ now to give readers of the Canada Lumberman an idea of the way
‘in which hardwood is being produced by the Stone Lumber Company,
Limited, of Sault Ste. Marie, district of Algoma, Ont. This company
_ operate two mills, one of which is located at Marksville on St. Joseph’s
Island, near the North Shore of Lake Huron, and one at Day Mills
‘on the C. P. R. line from Sudbury to the Soo. These two mills are
operated almost entirely on hardwoods, though a million feet or more
of hemlock and pine are included in the year’s production.
‘ The company are the owners of extensive limits on St. Joseph’s
Island. When commencing operations they decided that they could
not log profitably with horses and they found it necessary to build
eight miles of standard gauge railroad running to the centre of their
limits on St. Joseph’s Island. At the end of the railroad are located
_ the yards in which they deck their logs, these yards containing from
5,000 to 10,000 pieces. One of our illustrations shows a section of a
yard containing no less than 18,000 maple and birch logs belonging
to this company. As the railroad runs right through the timber the
company are able to skid a considerable quantity of logs from the
stump to the track. The balance are drawn by a short sleigh haul,
permitting of some six or seven trips per day to the yards. Along-
side of the track the logs are decked on skidways which contain about
400 logs each.

Loading the Logging Cars

_ The operation of loading the logs upon the cars, for shipment to
-the mill, is one which involves the use of an engine and jammer.
With this equipment they can load about one log per minute. The
“use of the jammer is shown in one of our illustrations. The jammer
has 25%-in. guys and a %-in. cable. It is built on a very low truck
and two men can move it from one skidway to another in about
_ twenty minutes. Two timbers, 8 x 12 in., are used to move the jam-
“mer on and off the railroad track. While in operation the jammer
_ rests upon these timbers. The poles of the jammer are 24 ft. long,
“being mortised into hardwood timbers 10 x 10 in., which in turn are
‘bolted to the runners. The runners are 10 x 10 in. timber rounded at
both ends. The axle of the low truck is bolted to the runners so as
_ to permit of the jammer being moved from place to place in the
easiest manner. This jammer will load a hardwood log 19 ft. long, 23

inches in diameter and has frequently done so, though the company
does not make a practice of cutting logs so long. The average length
of its logs is about 12 feet.

In making up a train load of logs the company load 2,500 feet on
each car and four or five cars complete a load. This could be in-
creased to six or seven cars if the company wished to spend sufficient
money to reduce two heavy grades on their line. At the mill end of
the line the company have their operations worked out in a very suc-
cessful manner. The outer rail of their logging railroad is raised 6
inches, and when the patent stake holders are free the stakes drop and
the car practically unloads itself into the log pond. The logs are
then at the foot of the jack ladder and they are sent through the
mill before they have time to sink. The manufactured product as it
comes from the mill is piled directly on the shipping dock.

The rolling stock operated upon the logging railroad includes two
locomotives, one being a standard 50-ton machine with air brakes,
etc., and a large tender. The other locomotive is a Baldwin dinkey,
25 ton, carrying 180 lbs. of steam, with cylinders 14 x 20 in. The
latter locomotive is the one they are using mostly.

The logging cars were manufactured by the company. They have
33 in. wheels and 5 in. axles. ach car is fitted with a Russell patent
stake holder. The company have ten cars and-are able to double
their present log output when they find it necessary.

Railroad a Paying Proposition

The construction of this railroad was a heavy and expensive task,
but when the saving effected by it is taken into consideration, the
company feel that it has been a most profitable investment. This
method of logging hardwood is designed particularly to reduce the
handling of the logs by manual and horse labor and to allow the
stumpage to be cut closer than would be possible if logged in the
old-fashioned way. Anyone who has had experience in the produc-
tion of hardwood lumber in Algoma knows that the rough and smaller
logs cannot be logged and sawed profitably, as hardwood differs from
hemlock and pine because a thousand feet of ordinary hemlock logs
will make 1,100 or 1,200 feet of merchantable timber, but a thousand
feet of hardwood logs does well if it makes 800 feet of merchantable
timber. The latent defect in hardwood always equals the overcut and
the number three does not pay for its saw bill, though there are buyers
in Ontario who have nerve to offer $6 and $7 per thousand for No. 3
one inch boards.

The illustration of a yard of hardwood logs shows that the com-
pany leaves the woods standing around the log yards. This is done
for two reasons; first, because it affords protection against drift and
storm in winter, and second, because it protects against fire in summer.

The offal from such a cut of hardwood is very large and the Stone
Lumber Company would be glad to sell it to a manufacturer who
could use it either for toys or other small wooden article, or for
chemicals.

The Duties of a Camp Foreman

On the Job from Late Summer to Early Spring—an Out-
line of His Various Responsibilities.
By W. J. Beasley*

The foreman of a logging camp occupies one of the most responsi-
ble of all the positions in connection with the various operations con-
nected with the production of lumber. Upon his ability, perseverence
and loyalty to his employers depends in very large measure the suc-
cess of the whole operation. Only by the most efficient attention to
detail, day in and day out throughout the logging season can a fore-
man secure his stock of logs at a cost that will enable the owner to
make a profit out of them when they are manufactured into lumber and
sold. Moreover, a camp foreman has to do with a class of labor that
is notoriously more difficult to handle than any other class connected
with the lumbering industry. His crew is made up of many kinds of
men who are working in the open throughout the bitterest of Can-
adian weather and unless their wants bodily and mentally are care-
fully looked after their output will suffer.

A logging camp foreman must first of all be thoroughly acquaint-
ed with bush life, that is to say, he must understand the men who
live in the bush and he must know from long experience all the im-
portant details and peculiarities of this type of life. Next to this
knowledge it is most important that he should understand fully the
quality of timber upon which his crew is to operate. As a rule the
custom is for the company to give their foreman a map of the limits;
then he must know the rest.

The first thing the foreman does is to look up a camp site, located
where it will be most convenient for the operations, about the centre
of his cut. In putting up the camps he must exercise careful judg-
ment in their location so that they may be as sanitary as possible.
For this purpose he will make sure that the water supply is on an
elevation above the camps, so that no drainage can reach it from the
buildings. The size of the camps will be governed by the quantity
-of timber the company instruct the foreman to take out. An average
camp in new Ontario will vary from 100 to 125 men.

The cooking staff in such a camp consists of three men, a cook

who generally stays right at his bread tray, a second cook who at-
tends to the cooking of meats and vegetables, and a chore boy who
washes dishes and helps wait upon the table. There is also an outside
chore boy who brings in wood and water, sweeps the men’s camps
and scrubs them not less than once a week. The outside chore boy
also puts out the lights at nine o’clock at night, lights the fires, etc.
Another man takes charge of the stables, whose duty it is to see that
the horses are well cared for. A blacksmith and a woodworker are
employed to keep the horses and rigging in repair. The clerk and the
foreman live in the office, where the clerical work is attended to. The
men already referred to make up what may be called the staff at camp.

Among these men, one of the most important from a material
point of view is the cook. Great difficulty in connection with most
camps is experienced in retaining employees. If a good cook is se-
cured, his services will go a long way towards removing this difficulty,
as good food will keep a crew together better than anything else the
company can furnish. As a rule, the companies in northern Ontario
always supply the best of food stuffs so far as quality is concerned
and a remarkably wide variety, so that it is the fault of the cook if
the men are not properly fed.

The blacksmith is also a man of much importance to the camp,
so that the horses’ feet may be kept in good repair, as horse flesh
costs a lot of money. ;

The men in the woods are usually grouped as follows :—

A cutting gang consisting of three men, one called a fitter, who
notches the tree, and two sawyers who fall it. The fitter then mea-
sures the tree into logs and the sawyers cut it up.

A skidding gang, consisting of team and teamster, two rollers and
two trail cutters. Often there are two teams in a gang, three rollers
and three trail cutters, varying according to local conditions and re-
quirements.

A road gang, who cut the sleigh roads. . There is no particular
number to the road gang. When a man is laid off in any of the other
gangs, the foreman calls on the road gang for a man to take his place
as it is important to keep the gangs full so that they may cut and skid
their full number of logs each day.

The duties of the foreman are of a varied nature, consisting to a
great extent of overseeing and being responsible for the whole opera-
tion of the camp. He inspects his camps every day, to see that the men
are properly cared for and to see that everything is going along
smoothly in the cookery. He makes his rounds every night to the
stables to inspect the horses and assure himself that they are in good

repair. Then he goes to the shop to see that the tools belonging |
the different gangs are in good shape.
After turning the men out in the morning the foreman goes t
the woods and inspects each gang to see that their work is goin
along properly. Then he occupies his time with looking up roads an
marking them out. Then the roads are cut and the skidways buil
ahead of the cutters. Log makers go along each side of the roads an
the teams follow after and skid the timber. When all these oper:
tions have been completed the sleigh haul starts, usually about th
first of January. r
The operation of a camp is dependent more than anything el
upon good roads. In making a road a large V ploogh is first dray
along the track as marked out by the foreman. Then a patent plot
is run over the road, removing the snow almost down to the grou
Following this comes the large water tank, which holds from fort)
sixty barrels of water. This is hauled over the road and automat
sprinkles it so that a solid sheet of ice is formed upon the <
With such a road it is a comparatively easy matter to draw ve
loads of logs. The log hauling is done in the. day time and #
is operated at night. In this way a good road is maintained thro
out the hauling season. : -
In order to keep the roads up during the day time, men are ple
all along in sections, every man having to keep his section in rep:
Wherever grades are encountered upon the road an extra team
located to assist in pulling the loads up. Wherever there are hil
go down a man is located to burn sand and dust it in the runner track,
so as to let the load down as easily as possible.
A loading gang consists of four or five men. The foreman will
arrange how many trips the teams must make to the landing each
day, depending upon the distance to be travelled. At the landing men
are located to unload the teams.
After the writer’s operations have been finished, it is the fore-
man’s duty to see that all the dams on the creek where his logs are
landed are shut down tight so that they will be full when the ice goes
out. When the drive starts, the foreman places men on the dams and
at the rapids to keep the logs running through. When they come
to a lake the logs are boomed and towed across by alligators or
steam winches to the mouth of the river where they are cut loose
and allowed to run to the outlet. There they are passed through a
gap or sorting jack and each company’s logs are placed in its own
booms ready to be towed away to the mills. When the logs are
delivered in the company’s booms at the sorting jack the camp fore-
man’s work is completed. :
It is easily seen from even such a brief glance at a camp fore-
man’s duties that his job is no easy thing. He must be alert and
constantly on the job to make a success of it. To get the best results
from his men he must watch their work closely so as to learn what
they are best adapted for. Often he will have to change them from
one class of work to another in order to get the best results from
them. In short, a foreman must study the dispositions of his men
He must also feed them well and care for them well. To sum up, the
foreman’s best guide is “do unto others as you would be done by,”
which is the best motto’ for him to follow. }
The duties of the camp clerk are quite different from those of
anyone else at the camp. He keeps a set of books in which the men’s
accounts are entered, and he looks after his “van” which is well filled
with supplies for the use of the men. He keeps a record of the num-
ber of logs cut each day, as reported to him when the men return from
the woods at night. He sends a weekly report of the logs cut and
also a monthly report, to the head office. In addition, he records the
logs in a book furnished by the government which is open to the in-
spection of the government scalers at any time. He looks after
supplies, orders what is required and keeps a general tab on eve
around the camp. When the season’s work is finished he subi
books to the head office, where they are inspected.

At my camps the lights are always out at nine o’clock. I do
not believe in ordering men out in the morning before they can see

he duties of a logging camp foreman are many and varied. If

ood man, fit for the position, he will see that the men are
re Prcuicd in well ventilated camps, that they are well fed, and
- good discipline is maintained in and around the camp. Then
ill see to it that every man performs the duties alotted to him,
workmanlike manner. Getting the confidence of the men is a
r of much importance. With this confidence the foreman can get
stter results than without it. The men must feel that any
hey do will count in their favor, and that the foreman knows
ness thoroughly. Nothing will slack a man up more in his
a feeling that some of it is being done for nothing. It is
necessary to remark that the men must be well fed. Good
is a most important factor in their work.

‘In connection with our operation we build good camps, either of
ame or logs, with the required air space for each man, and we make
amps as sanitary as possible with outside water closets placed at
regulation distance from the sleeping or eating quarters. The
ps are furnished with good sweet straw and blankets. Some of
camps are lighted with acetylene gas and some with coal oil

work of the camp is divided among different gangs. First
the log makers who fell the trees and cut them into the

tion of the men who do the peeling, this operation is very much the
same as the other.

From Daylight Until Dark

Logging Foreman and Crew Labor as Long
as There is Light

By Sam Brownlee*

At this time of year the foremen of logging camps are getting
busy on their work for the coming winter or in some cases have
already made a start. When the foreman of a logging camp goes into
the woods he takes complete charge of everything connected with the
camp designated to him by the firm for which he works. He allots
the different men in the crew to their various lines of work. Our
camps usually open their operations for the season some time be-
tween August 15th and September Ist. As a rule I have one hundred
men in my camp, made up as follows; 16 men cutting logs, 18 trail
cutters, 11 main road cutters, 15 men driving teams, 10 men rolling
logs, 5 men loading logs, 4 men unloading logs at the dump, or
river, 11 men fixing roads, 2 men in the blacksmith shop, 1 clerk, 1 cook
and 3 assistants.

When the men are sent out into the bush for their day’s work
they are divided up into gangs; a gang consisting of 2 log markers,
1 team with teamster, 1 chainer and 2 or 3 trail cutters. The log
markers fall the trees and saw them into lengths of from 12 to 16 feet.
The trail cutters follow the log markers and cut the roads to the logs
that have been made. Then the teamster comes along with his team
and hauls out these logs to skidways. The logs are piled on these
skidways by the chainer (the teamster’s assistant) along blazed trails
which I have already made. Later, I send in a gang of road cutters
to cut out a road along this trail. This is called the main road.
We do not begin to haul the logs out on this road until there is suffi-
cient snow to make good sleighing. Then the logs are hauled to the
river or to some navigable stream and left there until spring, or until
the ice is cleared off these streams. Then they are run into the Ottawa
River and once they reach the Ottawa they are taken in charge by the
Upper Ottawa Improvement Company, who are responsible for their
delivery to the mills in Ottawa city.

As a rule we stop making logs about the first of January in each

year. After we have caught up with our winter work we let all the
men go. Then we bring in men to drive our logs out to the Ottawa
River. - When this has been finished the season’s work is at an end.
_ The camp clerk has a number of important duties to perform.
He keeps the time of the men in camp. He also takes charge of the
store attached to the camp. In this store we keep everything needed
by the men and we make a point of selling to them at a reasonable
price.

In order to keep the men at their work it is important to board
them well and furnish them with good comfortable quarters to live
in. We use the very best provisions for our men. We also employ
first class cooks for the camp, as a poor cook and poor provisions are
really very expensive. We also employ a good blacksmith who does
the shoeing of the teams and repairs wagons and log sleighs.

During the past year the wages paid to our men were as fol-
lows log makers $26 per month, teamsters $26, road and trail cut-
ters from $18 to $26, with board included in each case. We employ
an assistant for our blacksmith, whose wages are $40 per month. The
blacksmith receives $70 per month, board included in each case.
The hours of labor in the winter months are from day-light until dark.

We generally put our supplies in the camps during the previous
winter’s operations, as it is much cheaper to haul supplies by sleigh
than by wagon. Besides, the roads are better for that purpose in the
winter than in the summer.

Logging Methods on Vancouver Islan

Description of Equipment and Organization, Felling, Yarding, Transportation
Scaling Operations in a Typical Camp

Logging operations on Vancouver Island, B.C., resemble in
many respects those in other parts of British Columbia. In a typical
camp operating under conditions existing just previous to the war,
the logging operations were conducted along the following lines:

One man was is charge both of the mill operations and the log-
ing. Next to him came the walking boss or foreman of the logging,
with a sub-foreman for railroad construction. The walking boss is
also time-keeper, cruiser, and has charge of the van and the railroad.
Labor was then easily secured but very unstable, as is common in B.
C. camps.

The camp we have under consideration employed about 16 whites
ot 30 Asiatics. With one exception all the most important and re-
sponsible outside positions, such as engineers, loaders, fellers, etc.,
are held by whites. The exception is one of the two loading crews,
composed of a Jap with a Chinese assistant. The cook and cookee
for the whites are Chinamen. The less skilled labor, such as railroad
construction, bucking logs, hewing wood and carrying water for the
donkeys, is performed by Chinamen. The hours of work are from
7 a.m. to 5 p.m. with one-half hour for lunch. The men are carried
to and from work by the company’s train.

The company charges the white men $5.25 per week for board and
lodging. The Chinamen hire one of their number to act as cook,
buy their own provisions and board themselves for about 15c per day.

The wage scale in this camp, previous to the war, was probably
a little below the average for British Columbia, at least of the bet-
ter class of operations. Wages do not include board and were as

The railroad operated by the company is a standard gauge and
runs from the donkeys in the woods to the dump in the lake. It
cost about $3,000 per mile to build. Construction work on the rail-
road is done by a gang of Chinamen under a sub-boss. This gang
is continually employed in extending the line. Stumps and large rocks
are removed from the right-of-way by blasting powder. When a
spur is abandoned, the rails and such ties as are worth while, are
taken up and relaid elsewhere.

There are few cuts or fills and these not large. Grades are
mostly 3 to 4 per cent., the maximum being 12 per cent. Curves
are all under 10 degrees except one of 35 degrees. Guard rails are
laid in all curves. The grading is all finished in earth, no gravel being
obtainable.

The ties are of good quality, 30 per cent. standard. Douglas
fir and cedar are most used. These are cut along the right-of-way and
adjoining by Chinamen. They cost 10c each in string and 12c laid

down. The average life of the ties is said to be four to six years.
They are laid 14 to the rail. The cost per mile for steel is about
$1,500.

Bridges are few in number and small. The larger gullies are span-
ned by stringers and crib work. The smaller ones are crossed by simply
laying two enormous trees across on which the ties and rails are
laid. This latter type is, of course, possible only where large tim-
ber is available, such as is found in this country.

An elevated stave tank of 2,000 gals. capacity placed by the
track a short distance from the lake supplies the engine with water
which is piped from a spring on the hillside and fills the tank by
gravity. .

The dump is a trestlework built out into the water. One side is
elevated about four inches above the other so that the logs roll off the
trucks by gravity when the chains are loosened. The logs are then
boomed and towed to the mill.

The cost per mile of railway is made up as follows :-—

Grading, bridges, ties, laying steel .. $1,500.00
Steel—rails, plates, spikes, bolts 1,500.00

The axes are used for cutting notches for the spring boards and

varying from 30 to 40 feet. In steam logging, long lengths are pre-
ferred because they save handling. A donkey can pull a 40 ft. log out
as quickly as a 16 ft. one in most of this timber.

The felling and bucking crews each cut up 12 to 13 thousand feet,
board measure, per day, at a cost of $1.00 per thousand feet.

The yarding crew proper consists of three men.

the log. The sniper noses the logs and attaches the choker. The
signalman, by pulling a wire to the whistle of the donkey, tells the
engineer when to go ahead, back up, ete.
‘The 18 h.p. donkey works independently on one side of the track,

the other side of the track. It roads and loads the logs 1,000 feet. The
10 h.p. donkey is placed about 1,000 feet from the track and serves
as a feeder to the 25 h.p.

A donkey engine consists of furnace, boiler, engine, 3 drums and
3 cables. All this is secured to a heavy iron frame and is mounted
on a boat. A boat consists of two large logs beveled at the ends
like sled runners and held together by cross pieces.

The cables are built of steel wire with a hemp centre which
makes them more flexible than solid wire. They are as follows :—

Main cable, 1% in. diameter on largest drum.

Outhaul cable, 34 in. diameter on second drum.

Loading cable, 5g in. diameter on smallest drum.

The main and outhaul cables pass from their drums out into
the woods guided by blocks and rollers at the turns and are united
at the far ends. When the main cable is wound in the outhaul is
pulled out and vice versa.

At the extreme end of the main cable are fastened a number of
steel rings to the most convenient one of which the choker is fast-
ened with its load of one or two logs.

The choker is a short piece of cable with a hook at each end.
With this a log is snared about 20 inches from the end by one hook,
and the other hook attached to the main cable. The signalman pulls
the wire as a signal and the engineer winds in the main cable. This
tightens the choker so that the log is pulled along. Once tightened
it rarely slips except in spring when the bark pulls off more readily.
A choker is more convenient for large timber than tongs, because
lighter to handle. The life of a main cable is four to eight months,
depending upon treatment.

The cost of yarding is approximately $1.00 per thousand feet,
board measure.

Loading is done by donkey and gin pole. The latter is a strong
log about 30 feet long which is securely guyed upright on the far side
of the track from the donkey. It is inclined toward the track so that
it leans over the cars when they are placed next it.

The loading cable passes from the small drum or spool of the

to the two loaders proper. It terminates in a steel hook by which
the loaders have the logs pulled forward or back until they are in
proper position to be rolled up onto the car.

Skids are placed sloping from the car to the ground. The cable
is passed around a log, hooked to the far rail and the log rolled up
in the bight of the cable.

The third man of the loading crew tends the cable at the c[_
which is continuously revolving.

The cost of loading is approximately 20c per thousand.

The usual train is made up of the locomotive and three sets of

Unique Railway and Logging Skidder

Logs Dragged by Locomotive on Planks Between Rails—
Efficiency Secured by Suspended Skidding

One of the most interesting of the many new logging operations
created in the Coast district of British Columbia by the great demand
for cedar logs is that of the Mainland Cedar Company. This concern,
of which W. R. Brown, of Vancouver, is the principal member, con-
trols some eighty million feet of cedar, hemlock, fir and spruce stump-
age at Port Neville, about 150 miles up the coast.

The main values of this holding are in its location, being within

two miles of salt water, and the high quality of the cedar stumpage.
Se Port Neville lies considerably south of the so-called cedar belt, and

Ei mber cedar, and which the market will always take and pay for.
Cedar stumpage of this character formerly existing on Burrard Inlet,
Howe Sound and Toba Inlet, is now nearly all cut. No difficulty has
been experienced for some time back in obtaining a price of approxi-
n mately $12.50 per thousand for camp run cedar of this class, the Van-
couver mills competing eagerly for it-

are substantially built of sawed lumber. The bunkhouses are made

Heavy Grades Require Unique Railway Methods

i. From the booming ground in front of the camp the main line
‘railroad extends directly into the timber. As very severe grades were
encountered in locating this road, and the haul being short, it was
decided not to use cars for handling the logs, but to trail them behind
locomotive. This is now being done successfully. Spiked to the
es between the rails are two fir planks 2 x 6 in., and on either side
of these are small hemlock side logs. The huge timbers are presented
from leaving the track at turns and “dips” by these side logs.

The logging operations carried on by Cargill Limited, Cargill,

Ont., in Bruce County, are planned and carried out in a thoroughly

modern manner. The company operate in a mixed stand of hard-
wood and softwood in the Greenock swamp, practically all of which is
owned by Cargill Limited.

~The skidding operations include the use of a Lidgerwood steam
pekidde- which is mounted on a flat car with a 40-foot spar. Cables
are run from the spar out into the bush twenty rods on each side
of the track and the logs are piled up 15 and 20 feet high along the
track. All kinds of logs are skidded together, including poles from

_ 2 inches diameter up to the largest logs. Nothing is left on the land

the brush and stumps.

: The loading operations are handled by a steam log loader made
z: Cargill Limited. This is also mounted ona short flat car. It has
a 30-foot boom and will handle about 1,000 feet to the lift in logs, or

ill load one of the company’s cars in three lifts of poles, or smaller

in a sling. The log loader will also lift the cars off the track

| pile them up at a skidway. This operation is shown in one of
e€ accompanying illustrations. The other illustration shows the

and a flat car, the latter being used for right-of-way work and the con-
veying of supplies to the woods. The Climax does all the handling
of the logs from the skidder to the log dump. Its schedule is ten
trips per day, dragging from 5,000 to 15,000 feet of logs per turn,
and as the haul is down a grade of from two to thirteen per cent.
the locomotive is seldom overloaded.

An Interesting Skidder

The yarding is done with an Empire Cableway Skidder, manu-
factured in Vancouver. This is a very interesting machine, and in the
opinion of many visiting operators has proved itself much superior
to the ground or high-lead yarders. With it the logs are yarded sus-
pended in the air from a skyline stretched from a spar tree at the
track to one in the bush, from 1500 to 3000 feet distant. The Empire
Skidder is built with the supplementing drum principle, by which the
haulback is paid out automatically as fast as the skidding line comes
in, thus suspending the log and eliminating the great loss of power met
with in systems suspending the load by a brake. The large size of
the drums enables the load to travel at a uniform level, thus doing
away with the constant manipulation of the levers, as in other sys-
tems. All leavers are steam operated, so that the engineer has an
easy task.

The speed and large capacity of the machine are remarkable, the
load being conveyed at the rate of 900 feet per minute and the carriage
returning to the stump at twice this rate. The ability to handle large
as well as small logs, to log down hill as well as up, and the great
distance it is capable of yarding efficiently, are a few of the special
merits possessed by this system, which promises to be widely adopted
for British Columbia use.

steam skidder at work, bringing in a load of logs to the track. The
ability of the loader to remove cars from the track permits of it being
kept on the main track all the time, following up the skidder. The
loader also has a device attached to the engine, so designed that when
a car is loaded, a line can be stretched out and the loaded car moved
ahead very easily without any loss of time. While this operation is
going on the boom of the loader is also swinging another car on to
the track.

The logging locomotive operated by Cargill Limited, is a stand-
ard gauge and is equipped with gasoline motive power, thus remoy-
ing all danger of fire in the swamp. ‘The track is standard gauge
of 35-lb. rails. The locomotive makes two trips a day, drawing 12
cars, which is sufficient to keep the mill running continuously.

After the logs are loaded on the cars in the bush by the loader,
they never again touch the ground. They are unloaded in a sorting
mill, which has tracks and conveyors running from it in each direc-
tion and is so located that each block or log is delivered to its pro-
per place to be worked up into the finished product for which it is
intended, the whole process being completed without further handling.

Newfoundland’s Extensive Timber Areas
Pulp and Paper, Lumber and Pit Props Sources of Great Industrial Activity
Pit Prop Trade Increasing Rapidly

By J. W. McGrath

the sawn timber used in the country, from the Lower Pro-

vinces of Canada—particularly from Nova Scotia; and even

as late as the year 1900 large quantities of timber were im-
ported from these countries. Since then, things have changed,
that at present, little or no timber has to be imported, with the ex-
ception of some expensive hardwoods—which the country does not
produce. It seems strange that Newfoundland should have had to
import lumber although she possessed vast forests of different kinds
of timber of her own, but this may be readily understood when it is
recalled that up to 1876 there were but one steam sawmill (of 25 horse
power), and not more than six water-mills in operation throughout
the whole country. Much of the timber used by the fishermen and
settlers along the sea-coast in those early colonial days was hand
sawn, or more commonly known as pit-sawn- lumber. The method
no doubt is familiar to most lumbermen, and though crude and en-

] be TY years ago Newfoundland was importing nearly all of

tailing much hard labor, nevertheless was a great factor in supplying -

the essential wants, not only of the early settlers, but of the great
Dominion likewise.

From 1876 the lumbering industry began to grow and expand, a
knowledge of the timber resources became spread abroad, and several
lumbermen from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec established
mills along the river banks in the best selected forest growths of
the country, but it was not until Lewis Miller, of Crief, Scotland—
a lumberman of world-wide reputation—came to the country about
1899 that lumbering received its first great impetus. Mr. Miller pur-
chased extensive areas of timber lands along the shores of Red
Indian Lake, in the very centre of the country, and at the foot of the
lake the town of Millertown was built; and here was established by
far the greatest lumbering plant and industry known to the country.
Two gigantic sawmills of the most modern type were erected, capable
of manufacturing two hundred and fifty thousand feet of lumber daily.
A branch line of railroad was laid from the main line of railroad to
the mills, and the town of Millertown took root. Lewis Miller had
been operating mills in Scotland and Sweden for many years previous,
and from Sweden he brought to his mills in Newfoundland a colony
“of Swedish lumbermen with their families, who imparted a new life
to lumbering in the colony, and a greater knowledge of the industry
amongst the people of Newfoundland. In addition to the mills of
Millertown, Mr. Miller acquired and erected large mills at Glenwood,
Indian Bay and other places, and from these centres millions of feet
of the finest white pine and spruce were shipped to the lumber mar-
ence ge commanding
the best prices in these markets.

The Coming of Capital to the Island

Lewis Miller remained but a few years in the colony when he
sold out his vast possessions and extensive plants to the “Newfound-
land Timber Estates”’—a company composed of such strong financiers
as H. M. Whitney, of Boston, the Reid Newfoundland Company,
Harry J. Crowe, of Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, and B. F. Pearson, of
Halifax, Nova Scotia. This company further enlarged upon the pro-
perty bought from Mr. Miller by acquiring other timber lands and
mills, and by erecting new mills, and enlarging the capacity of others.
From the date of the establishing of the Newfoundland Timber Es-
tates (1902), lumbering became “permanently established as one of
the colony’s industries.

From 1876 to 1910 the sawmills in Newfoundland increased in
number from 6 to 273, and the output expanded from not more than
one million feet of sawn timber to eighty million feet. At present we
have 312 sawmills of various capacities, which employ 6,000 men for
about nine months of the year. Though we have lately increased
the output of sawmills, we have not increased the output of sawn
timber. This is accounted for in two ways. Many of the larger mills,
particularly those that were erected by Lewis Miller and the New-
foundland Timber Estates, have gone out of the sawing business,
the properties owned by these concerns being sold to the Harms-
worths, and Albert Reid Company, of London England, who have,
within recent years, established large pulp and paper plants, and the
enterprise of pulp and paper manufacture has assumed immense pro-
portions—that of the Harmsworth plant being amongst the largest
and most modern in the world.

Another cause of the shortage of sawn timber output is the in-
troduction of the pit-prop business, Since the outbreak of the Euro-

pean war, many of the smaller mill owners found it more profit
to engage in this industry, because the war had produced a
market among the collieries of England. During the year 191
something like 100,000 cords of this class of wood was shi
England, and the amount to be shipped during 1915-1916 y
be less than 250,000 cords, if tonnage can be secured for trz
tion. In addition to the above output of pitprops about 4
feet of pulpwood is annually used by the pulp and paper mil

side. In half a minute the tree begins to lean and there is a warning
shout. A second or two later, with a loud cracking and rending sound,

it topples and crashes to the ground. Without any apparent effort,
the ‘fallers’ have controlled the direction of its fall almost to a foot.

“Next, without any ado, half a dozen ‘swampers,’ set to work with
the axe, clearing the limbs and straightening up the tree. Simul-
taneously a ‘fitter,” with a wooden rod, divides the stem in suitable
lengths, marking the cutting points with a notch; while two other
men, one carrying a paint pot, measure the tree, enter the size in a
book, and mark the stump and the butt of the severed trunk with a
blob of red paint to show that their work is done. Sawyers then cut
the stem according to the ‘fitter’s’ marking, and the sections are ready
to go to the mill. They are dragged there by horses over deeply
scored ‘trails’ and ‘sloopways,’ and take their turn to come under the
saw.

“The mill itself is a stoutly built structure, made of timber cut
and prepared on the spot, and saws and engines coming from Canada.
It is practically a raised platform covered by an iron roof, but open
at the sides. A log to be sawn is rolled into position on a ‘carriage,’
which moves backwards and forwards to carry it through a circular
saw. Two men, standing on the carriage, control its movements and
the position of the log by a number of levers. Opposite them stands
the most important man of all, the ‘sawyer,’ whose trained eye sees at
a glance what can be made of this or that log. The hum of the engine
and the screech of the saw would drown his voice, so he gives his
decision by signs. As the carriage brings a log back through the saw
with the bark removed, he will hold up one finger or two, and the
‘setter’ on the carriage, by the movement of a lever, adjusts the log
so that the next cut shall be one inch or two inches thick.

“Tt is all done without a pause. For hours the saw screeches and
throws off a spray of sawdust as it slices up the logs that a short while
before were splendid living trees, and all the while other saws, trim-
ming the edges of the boards and cutting off the ends, join .in the
chorus. Is it surprising that the daughter of the keeper of the wood
was reduced to tears when she stood by the mill?”-—London Times.

Logging by Contract—Why it Works Well
A great proportion of the logging operations carried on in Eastern
Canada, particularly in the province of Quebec, are handled by the
contract, or jobber system. It seems that local custom and conditions
have much to do with the way in which logging operations can be
handled most successfully, and in Quebec province these influences
have combined for many years past to make the contract, or jobber
system of logging a popular one. There are, of course, many excep-
tions to this, even in Quebec province, but the jobber system has been
worked out to its most successful development there.

A large manufacturer of lumber in Quebec province, in compli-
ance with a request from us, gives the following reasons why his
company obtain their logs in this manner. “Providing we have a good
reliable jobber,” he says “we are able to operate with more economy
and also with more speed through the service of a jobber than we
could with men under the supervision of our foreman. The reason
for this is not hard to find. A jobber is a foreman to a business that
is ‘his own.’ As man is, after all, essentially a very selfish being, a
jobber will naturally take more interest in his work than a foreman
would. He will keep expenses lower by reducing the waste in tools
lost, etc., and in every detail of camp administration he will exercise
the greatest amount of Wise economy,

“Generally speaking, the jobber has a farm of his own and fur-
nishes the logging crew with produce from it. This produce counts
at a low cost. He also knows his neighbors well and understands how
to buy from them.

“So much for ‘economy’; now for ‘speed.’ Being in charge of
smaller gangs than those under a foreman, the jobber can get more
work out of the whole lot, because he can watch their w ork more
closely and reduce the amount of loafing. He knows every man and
what he can do. The men he employs cannot hope to appeal to higher
authority, and, -knowing this, they are less liable to be unruly. Of
course, such closer sueprvision as the jobber is able to give means
more work done. This fact is well understood by construction com-
panies who employ a foreman to every few men they have working
for them, and we all know that the construction companies, as a result
of close competition and the best of facilities, are better able to put
these labor control experiments to the test then anyone else. -There-
fore the plan adopted by them is a good one for lumbermen to follow.
_ “There are many other advantages to be derived from operating
through jobbers, but the most important thing of all is to find ‘the
< Dee man’ ”

Cuba’s Lumber Requirements ~

In the Weekly Bulletin of the
Department of Trade and Com-
merce a report is published by J.
C. Manzer, special representa
tive of the New Brunswick Goy-
ernment in Havana, Cuba, deal-
ing with the market in Cuba for
lumber. The report in part is as
follows :—

Cuba imports annually about
600,000,000 feet of lumber. This
consists, for the most part, of
pine, spruce and fir, and is im-
ported in the form of inch boards,
running from six inches te
twelve inches in width; planks
two and three inches thick and of
various widths, and deals sawn
to various dimensions to conform
with orders received. This is

September 1, 1916

shipped just as it comes from the
saw without being planed, and
_ when imported in this form is not
subject to duty.

‘The greater part of this lum-
ber comes from the United
,: States, principally the Gulf of

Mexico ports, but Canada sup-
plies a large quantity which
might be increased to a great ex-
tent.

Spruce and pine from New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia and
~ Quebec; also spruce, fir, hemlock
and cedar from British Columbia
_ would be suitable for all building
=e purposes in Cuba. Besides this
a. >

class of lumber, Cuba imports
quantities of shingles, thousands
menor etates for fruit, shooks for
_ packing cases, stave heads and
‘hoops for making barrels, and
large quantities of ‘broom handles.
a Canadian pine, spruce and fir
would be quite suitable for the
manufacture of fruit crates and
packing cases. These are im-
ported cut in exact lengths ready
to be nailed together, and tied in
bundles. Birch, maple and ash
would be quite suitable for bar-
rel heads, staves and_ hoops.
These arrive tied in bundles, and
when put together are used tor
packing beer. Canadian yellow
birch and maple make the best
-. broom-handles.

Canadian lumber will fill near-
- ly all the requirements of the
building trade in Cuba; and as
Canada is a large seller of lumber
_ while Cuba is a heavy buyer, it
; would be advisable as soon as the
war is over, and conditions be-
come normal again, to make an
effort to secure a Jarger propor-

tion of this Cuban trade.

‘ Black Walnut Prices Favor

_ The present year is regarded by
: the United States Department of
Agriculture as a most favorable
time for increased planting of
black walnut trees in the United

able, the amount of potash recov-
erable from one ton of wood con-
taining 15 per cent. of potash is
four pounds.

The present price of potash in
trade centres in the United States
is nominal. The rate per ton is
quoted at from $400 to $500, but
none is available. The price for
the most common form, the muri-
ate, or chloride, containing 80 per
cent. of the pure salt (equivalent
to 52.7 per cent. of K:O) was $38
per long ton in July, 1914.

Canada possesses many deposits
of feldspar with potash contents
ranging as high as 15 per cent.,
thus constituting a considerable
resource of potash if an economic-
al process of extracting it can be
developed.

Several chemists are actively
engaged upon this problem in the
United States. Chemically it has
been solved, but capital is still
hesitant about investing heavily
in any of the dozen promising
methods which have been worked
out on a scale little beyond simple
laboratory experimentation.

Hemlock Bark at a Premium

Great activity in the bark peel-
ing industry in Pennsylvania, is
expected this year, the men al-
ready under contract numbering
from 1,300 to 1,500. The activity
is due to the flourishing condition
of the leather industry as a re-
sult of the European war. The
price of hemlock bark has ad-
vanced $2.50 a _ cord since last
year, the price offered now being
$13. Twenty years ago hemlock
bark sold at $4 a cord, and trees
were chopped down for the bark
only.

The first boat of the two new
lumber ship lines between the
Northwestern States and Atlantic
ports will leave Seattle on Novem-
ber 1, returning from Philadelphia
December 15, travelling the route
by way of the Panama. Canal, and
stopping at San Francisco, Los
Angeles and other ports. F. C.
Knapp, manager of the Penin-
sula Lumber Company, of Port-
land, Oregon, is building his own
ships for his line.

Ontario

Toronto wholesalers report a little improvement in trade, though
really not enough to be spoken of as encouraging. One firm with
which we discussed matters tell us that they have received quite a
number of enquiries and orders recently. Many of these are coming
in by mail, a condition of things that did not even exist three weeks
ago. Another firm reports having 51 cars on order ahead. This,
however, is not so much a sign of plentiful orders as of unsatisfac-
tory shipping conditions. The mills continue to face a daily struggle
in connection with making shipments, being shorter of men than they
ever were in the past, and now they are commencing to be handicapped
even further by a shortage of cars. However, if the retailers and
others requiring stocks will exercise a moderate amount of patience
it is believed that the mills will manage to meet most of their require-
ments with fair despatch. Another wholesaler reports that business
is a shade better than it was during July. “Every time we go out we
manage to get a fair amount of business,” he says. Practically all
of this trade is coming from the retailers, indicating that the farming
sections are the most active at present. The cities, in fact, are doing
very little in the way of consuming lumber, so far as building opera-
tions are concerned.

The hardwood situation in Ontario is steady. Stocks in con-
sumers’ hands are light and the prospects for increasing them are
slim on account of an acute car shortage. Business is still spotty
and has been affected to a considerable extent by the hot weather.
Prices are expected to advance on account of the difficulty in securing
fresh stocks and the broken condition of most stocks on hand.

Eastern Canada

The local market at St. John, N.B., is very quiet, there being
practically no building operations in progress. It is rather expected
that a slight improvement in this regard will develop during the fall,
as the opportunity for investing profitably in the erection of buildings
will be exceptionally attractive. Spruce boards are weak, but are not
selling at less than $16 on the mill wharves.. Refuse stocks are heavy
and about $1 per thousand lower. Stocks of English deals carried over
during the winter will not be heavy. From eighteen to twenty mil-
lion feet will probably cover them all. The price at precent is un-
changed, but there is a slight improvement in the demand. A fair
number of enquiries are coming from the American market and the
base price at Boston has risen to $26. Log driving operations on the
St. John have come to an end for the season, the total number of logs
rafted being about 50,000,000 feet. There are no logs now left in the
St. John River.

The eastern spruce market at Boston shows a better feeling than
it has for some weeks past. Large retail buyers are sending in good
orders. Random is moving well, the best demand being for 2 x 4 and
2 x 8, which are selling at $21.50 and $24 respectively. The full range
of quotations on random is as follows :—2 x 3, $20.50 to $21; 2 x 4, $21
to $21.50; 2x 5, $20 to $20.50; 2 x 6 and 2 xi7, $2050 70 S212 x 3:
$23.50 to $24; 2 x 10, $25.50 to $26.50; 2 x 12, $26.50 to $27.50. Spruce
covering boards 5 ins. and up wide, 8 ft. and up long, are a shade easier
at $21. For matched boards, 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet, the demand is
steady at $24. The trade in hemlock at Boston is a little quieter, the
hot weather probably having had something to do with this situation.
Shingle prices at Boston are steady. Good brands of white cedar ex-
tras are bringing $3.55, and $3.50 is about as low as a really satisfac-
tory extra can be had at. The quotation on white cedar clears is about
$3.20, but some makes are bringing 10c more and some 10c less. Good
red cedar extras are selling at $3.85 and a few fancy lines are bringing
$3.95. An improvement is reported in the demand for lath and quota-
tions are stiffening. A few manufacturers have announced an ad-
vance to $4.25 for 154 in., but careful buyers are able to pick them
up occasionally at $4.

United States

The outstanding fact of importance in the United States during
the past fortnight has been the possibility of a nation-wide railroad
strike, the bad effects of which it would be impossible to exaggerate.
In spite of this threatening danger there has been no noticeable de-
crease in trade activity. In fact, most of the reports received indicate
that conditions are improving. In the lumber industry, conditions
are now considerably brighter than they were a fortnight ago and
it looks as though an important turning point has been reached and
gradual improvement may be looked for, even to the extent of a

the south tell of a general advance in prices, particularly in comm
Juinber, which is today bringing $2 a thousand feet more than it
a few weeks ago. In the upper grades the advance shows an ay
of about $1 per thousand. Some quotations are within $1 of th
basis reached in 1915. The increased volume of trade seems t
chiefly from the retail yard business in central agricultural
Retailers have been buying from hand-to-mouth for a long ti
their stocks are away below normal. Mills had been saree
production extensively. The harvest season was at hand an
shortage was threatened, all of which factors seem to have p
the retailers that it was time to replenish their’ stocks and they di
so almost with a rush. ay ;

The trade in northern pine continues steady and prices show lit-
tle change. Buffalo wholesalers report that the competition of Idaho
pine is not now so strong. There is a good demand for the low
grades of northern pine on account of the activity in the box busine:
Upper grades also are doing fairly well and pattern stock is moyin
A steady trade in northern pine is also re-—
ported from Chicago with prices firm, the demand coming chiefly
from the yards, corporations and factories. Furniture and crating
concerns are expected to declare their needs shortly and some im- —
provement is expected.

The trade in hemlock at Buffalo is about normal. Prices show
a slight tendency to advance. Mills are asking 50c more on car lots
than they were a few weeks ago. On water shipments prices are un-
changed. Hemlock arrivals at Buffalo are plentiful. At Chicago, —
there is a fair demand for hemlock and prices are a bit stronger, the —
improvement being the result of the better market for yellow pine.
A fairly active trade is reported in hardwoods at Buffalo. There is
quite a volume of business on small orders. Thick maple and ash
are in the best demand. Prices are firm all round. The hardwood
trade at Chicago is steady, but quiet. A fair revival in trade is looked —
for in the course of.the next few weeks. Birch continues the feature —
in northern hardwoods and there is also a good demand for thick hard —
maple. -_

Great Britain

Prices of spruce in Great Britain have recently shown an extensive —
drop, as a result almost entirely of the great falling off in freights,
both for Baltic woods and for goods from America. Many importers —
are looking for a strong revival in spruce prices before long and criti- —
cize present owners for disposing of their stocks at the recent low
figures. There has been no marked change in the spot market at
London. The free movement of stocks from the docks continues
and arrivals have not been quite so numerous. Stocks on hand, how-
ever, are sufficient to fill requirements for a good period. Supplies of
spruce deals and battens are fairly extensive. The recent drop in ~
prices has been more marked on batten sizes than elsewhere, and
arrivals have shown some falling off. Deal sizes are unchanged in
price and the demand continues good. Importing firms continue to
show much caution in their commitments and are not inclined to
accumulate stocks of any kind. ;

The c.if. market for spruce deals at Liverpool is rather unset-
tled and recent sales are reported to have left the shipper with a loss,
especially in connection with liner parcels sent on consignment. Re-
cent cargo shipments are being held by shippers for better values.
It is impossible to say anything regarding the outlook for future ship-

and importers are looking for the season to end rather abruptly. Th
spot market for spruce deals at Liverpool is dull and the outlook
uncertain. Prices today are practically double those of a year ago.
The chief sizes showing weakness today are scantling sizes. A de-
mand is expected later on for 9-in. and up. ;

Manchester importers are looking for steadier prices from now
on, especially for spruce. Shipments on the way to Manchester are
believed to be very light, and freights have become firmer of late.
A recent arrival at Liverpool is ‘said to have paid 375s per standard
for freight and it is reported that the Manchester liners cannot accept
any pine or spruce for Manchester at present. For these reasons it

is believed that the slump in spruce has come to an end for the time
being. Enquiries are very scarce.

A moderate improvement is reported in the trade at Glasgow,

there is not a large amount of trade to report, but the tendency is

Market Correspondence

St. John Markets—-Wintered Stocks Likely to be Light

St. John, N.B., August 21st; (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :
There does not appear to be any likelihood of a great surplus of deals
being carried over into 1917 by the mills at St. John. In fact, it looks
as though purchasers of the season’s cuts will not have much to worry
about in the way of stocks which they cannot move, as many of the
mills are already idle, and others will be closing down in the near
future for want of logs. Of course, all of these mills were not sawing
exclusively for the English market, but a number of them were doing
so. Moreover, those mills that were manufacturing for the American
market were sawing all their stocks plump, so that they could be
turned into the English market if occasion required. Undoubtedly,
according to the present outlook, only a comparatively small quantity
of logs will be carried over at St. John this winter. The total is not
likely to be more than 18 or 20 million feet, and most of these will
be long American logs. Prices are unchanged and the demand is slow,
but if anything there is a slight improvement both in price and de-
mand. A moderate volume of enquiries is developing from the Ameri-
can market which is showing a little more sign of steadiness. The
base price at Boston has risen to $26 and there is a firmer tone all
around.

There is no improvement to report in connection with the local
market, which is stagnant. Very little new building is being under-
taken and the factories are simply stocking up with the different lines
of material they usually require, so that they may not be obliged to lay
off any employees. It is hard to foresee what the winter will bring
forth in connection with the local market, but there is still some hope
that a moderate amount of building will develop during the fall, and
thus help the market. The reason for this hope is that conditions
are very favorable today for anyone who is thinking of building. An
owner can put up buildings at exceptionally low cost and when the
war is over the opportunity for a promising investment of this sort
will probably have disappeared.

The spruce board market is still weak, but fortunately the boards
at St. John are in comparatively few hands and will be taken care of
easily. Not less than $16 is being accepted on the mill wharves. Stocks
of refuse lumber are heavy and reductions of $1 per thousand feet are
being made.

The St. John River Log Driving Association have almost finished
their rafting operations for the season, and statistics of the season’s
operations will be available in the near future. Upwards of fifty mil-
lion feet will have been rafted this year, and the St. John River is now
clear of logs from its head waters to its mouth.

Shingles are scarce at St. John and the better grades are hard to
find, so that prices are somewhat stiffer.

Montreal Market Continues Quiet

Montreal, August 25th;
Apart from the demand for shell box lumber, the Montreal market is
quiet. Several additional contracts for boxes have been placed by
the Imperial Munitions Board, and others have been offered at prices
which are unacceptable. Some firms who have completed contracts,
have learned by experience that there is no money in the business on
the rates quoted by the Board, and have declined further orders on
this basis. Such orders are generally the subject of negotiation, with
a result that a better price is sometimes obtained. It is reported that
the Board will ask next month for bids of a further million boxes.
Many firms are behind hand in their deliveries.

Last month there was an improvement in the building permits,
the total being $545,870, as compared with $432,490 in the correspond-
ing period last year. THe statement for the year to date is, however,
$871, 000 less than for the corresponding period in 1915.

The shortage of labor is becoming very serious, and reports re-
ceived here state that in the Ottawa Valley districts several manu-
facturers have closed down their mills. The scarcity is by no means
confined to this section, mills in the province of Quebec finding it
difficult to secure the necessary help.

Shipments to the United Kingdom are fair. Spruce and birch
constitute the. great bulk of the exports, pine showing a distinct fall-

more satisfactory. Buyers seem to have recovered from the frig!
they experienced when freight rates broke. Spruce values have la
been easier to the extent of about 30s to 40s per standard, and there
has been a fair amount of trade. Most of the holders, however,
inclined to keep their stocks, in anticipation of better prices.

ing off. There is no improvement in the British markets, and wi
freights round 300s per standard there is little inducement to 5
forward large quantities, even were space more plentiful than it
The Government are taking considerable room, and prospects are t
this condition will continue for some time. Recently a considerab
amount of lumber has been shipped from here and from lower Quebs
ports by tramps.

The pulp and paper sections are again buoyant. Prices for sul-
phite pulp have made further advances, and until there is a chance
of European supplies going more freely into the United States, the
upward movement is likely to be in evidence. The immense gain in
the Canadian exports in pulp is shown in official figures for the year
ending June 30th last. During that period we shipped 70 per cent.
of the imports into the United States, a gain of 130,000,000 pounds
over the previous year. Ground wood is also a good market, while
the demand for newsprint is again excellent. The exports are increas-
ing rapidly, notwithstanding the rise in values, and it is hinted that a
co-operative association for assisting the distribution of our product
in foreign countries may be formed. A

Serious bush fires in the Lake St. John district are reported, also
in the seigniory behind Murray Bay, behind Canard River, betwee
Bergeron and Escoumains, at Anse St. Jean, at Cape Trinity, along
the Peribonka River and in the National Park.

Ottawa Trade Affected by Labor Shortage

Ottawa, August 25th; (Special to the Canada Lumberman) :—
“Very little change in the lumber market in the past few weeks, but
quite a change in the labor supply,” is the way in which Ottawa lum
bermen express themselves about the situation. Labor, according to
all the manufacturers: here, is the one great trouble at the present
time, and the scarcity has become so noticeable that one mill, that
of the Hawkesbury Company, has shut down on the night run.

This action has been taken because of the scarcity of labor due to”
recruiting and other causes, among which is the demand for harvest
hands in the western provinces, this alone having taken many hundreds
of men from this district. The McLachlin Bros. mill at Arnprior,
Ont., has also been closed down quite recently, but all the others
report a fair amount of business and little change in the market.

Manufacturers say there is little likelihood of any important
change and not any great likelihood of a rise in the selling prices,
although the scarcity of labor is increasing the cost of production. —
It is estimated that in some lines the cost of labor will be increased
to 20 per cent. over a year ago, and while this may later have an
effect on the selling price of materials, no move toward a rise has yet
been made.

The prospects for the building trated are unchanged. Retailers
report little change in the amount of goods passing through their
hands and the general opinion is that prospects are “fair.”

With the return of harvest hands from the west, it is anticipated
that the labor market may ease up a little, though scarcity of men
will again be felt wee the work in the woods opens. The expo
trade is steady. .

News has been received of the death at Minneapolis, Minn., of Mr.
John Sims, a wealthy lumberman of that city, formerly of Ottawa,
where he started on a small scale many years ago. He moved from
here to Saginaw, Michigan, and has many relatives still living in
Ottawa.

Schooners Doing Well in Transatlantic Trade hi

Parrsboro, N.S., August 19th; (Special to the Canada Lumber-
man ) :—The shipments of deals and scantling from this port to Great
Britain since July 19th, total 5,061,182 feet. “This was carried by one,
steamer and four tern-schooners. The shipments consisted chiefly of
spruce, but some cargoes contained a quantity of hemlock lumber, and
the cargo of one schooner was composed entirely of birch deals. A
Norwegian ship which will carry nearly three million feet, will finish
loading in a few days, and several schooners are due to arrive, so there

is not likely to be much break in the deal shipments for some time
to come.

‘he lumber shipments to the United States during the last month
consisted of 632,378 feet of spruce and hemlock boards and scantlings
and 365,000 spruce laths. Several small cargoes of deals have been
shipped to St. John, N.B., for transhipment at that port.

The tern schooner Exilda, which made four successful trans-
atlantic trips with deal cargoes last season, has just completed her sec-
ond voyage this year, and is loading again for the other side. Her
last round trip, which was to Preston, England, was made in seventy
days, which is considered remarkably good time for a sailing vessel.
Another tern schooner, which cleared from Parrsboro on the 17th ult.,
and was delayed two or three days by fog, arrived at Preston today.
Another schooner which sailed a week earlier went across in thirty
days. It will be seen, therefore, that the schooners are doing much
better than some wiseacres thought they could, and they compare very
favorably with the “square riggers.”

The four-masted schooner, built this season in Port Greville, on
the lines of the one that was torpedoed last year on her first voyage, is
now nearly completed, and will be launched, it is expected, on the 28th
inst. Shipbuilding in this vicinity has been greatly handicapped by the
scarcity of men. This, of course, is largely due to the war, which has
taken heavy toll among the sturdy shipwrights. Very few men can be
found today, in the shipyards along shore, who are not above military
age. But, of course, the war is not wholly responsible for the scarcity,
for prominent among the causes is undoubtedly the sharp decline in
wooden shipbuilding of a decade or more ago which left few induce-
ments to young men to learn the trade.

_ The scarcity of shipwrights finds a parallel in the marked scarcity
of sailors, and if it were not for the Scandinavian seamen, some of our
vessels would find it practically impossible to get across. Even as it is,
vessels are sometimes held up two or three days while sailors are
brought from other ports to complete their crews. Freights are lower
than they were six months ago, and the price of lumber has fallen, but
sailors’ wages are higher than they ever were before and the tendency
is still upward. At present the wages of able seamen are at least fifty
per cent. higher than they were a year ago, while even green hands can
command big wages.

Good Advice for Loggers—

Safety-First Principles Tabulated by a Large
Operating Company

A western lumber company with extensive woods operations has
prepared the following set of safety-first rules for loggers and others
in their employ :—

Loaders.—Do not load a car unless hand brake is set up tight,
and if the car be on any grade, see that the snub line with a clevis is
fastened to the car.

When moving cars ahead, as soon as same are spotted, set up
all brakes on ‘both loaded and empty cars.

Take no chances in working or walking under or near logs lifted
in the air with hooks. Never use hooks to lift a log scaling more than
1,500 feet (it is very dangerous to do so as the hooks are liable to
pull out and fly). Logs scaling over 1,500 feet should be rolled onto
the cars with straps fastened from the ginspole, and used as a crotch
line.

Do not fasten a hook to any portion of car, except the car bunk
or axle. ’

Do not load logs upon car at the landing until the track is thor-
oughly cleanéd out, and the rail clear of all mud, chips, sticks and other
obstructions, and all limbs cut off the logs and stamped on both ends.

Always see that the chock blocks on the bunks stand straight up,
and that there is no slack in the chain.

Use no blocks or rigging that are not perfectly sound and safe
ill every way.

Fallers—Never stand close to trees when falling.

Always give plenty of warning to all employees and persons near
before a tree is felled.

Always fall every snag that is in anywise liable to blow over or
fall on you while at work.

Always keep a lookout for loose limbs and sailors, and avoid the
same.

Immediately turn in all tools not in proper shape or repair, notify.
foreman and procure others.

Buckers.—Be careful to cut all logs where measured.

Block up logs so that they will not split while bucking.

Always work on the upper side of a log on the sidehill, so as to
avoid the danger of its rolling down on you.

ually the task of assisting foremen and superintendents to reduce still.

Do not work near or under trees having loose limbs, or sailors,
first have same cut down. :
At all times be extremely careful to keep away from lines, a
from falling timber. In long timber the limbs frequently fly a lor
distance when felled.
Train Men and Construction Men.—Haul no logs until you ar
certain that the load is well balanced, secure and safe. b
Never stand beside or near a train or load of logs that is in motiot
Do not get on or off the cars or engines while in motion, and d
not walk over log cars while in motion.

over the ends of cars). :
Never get under a pile while it is being raised.
If you know or suspect any physical disability or inexperi
yourself or fellow-workman, immediately report same to your
I‘oremen.—Always thoroughly instruct each man as to”
and the dangers thereof, and secure his consent before p

upon any job involving danger.

The following table shows the percentage of accidents o ,
during the year 1915 in the operations of this company: hs

Logging, 27 per cent.; lumber (yards), 18 per cent.;

miscell:
ous, 16 per cent.; sash and door factory, 15 per cent.; mills, 15
cent.; box factory, 7 per cent.; veneer, 2 per cent. ee ok
During the year 1915 there were 92 accidents of vai

the various departments of the company, as against 106
the year 1914. The above figures show percentage of acci

departments as noted.

Logging shows 27 per cent. of all acridents occurring, these being
due to various causes. The majority of accidents in this department
being injuries sustained by woodmen and others cutting feet, limbs
etc., with axes and other sharp tools. This cause and accidents on
railroads provide the greater percentage of accidents ‘in Loggin
Department. Accidents in Logging Department show an increase
1915 over previous year, there being 23 accidents in 1914, as against
26 in 1915. -

The Lumber Department (yards, kilns, etc.) follows, with a per-
centage of 18 per cent. The majority of these accidents being caused
by employes falling off piles, falling lumber, etc. This department also
shows an increase of accidents for 1915, there being 11 accidents in
1914, as against 16 in 1915. hy ;

Miscellaneous departments (ranches, store, teaming, etc.) shows
a percentage of 16 per cent. F f
Sash and door factory and mills follow, with a percentage of 15
per cent. each, sash and door factory showing a reduction of 14 acci-
dents over previous year. The mills show a reduction of 1 accident
over last-year’s record. Ti

_The box factory takes the banner in the matter of reduction of
accidents, there having been only 7 accidents in this department du ee
ing 1915, as against 24 for 1914. Box factory showing a percentage of
about 7 per cent. vat

The veneer plant shows the small percentage of 2 per cent., or
accidents for 1915, as against 5 in 1914. This department, however,
employs only a small number of men in proportion to the other depart-
ments noted. i os:

One fatal accident occurred during the year, this being in the
Logging Department. y-
ment.

On the whole, the reduction in accidents over the previous year is
gratifying to the management. Where the greatest reductions ar
shown over previous year, this is without doubt due to safeguards t
have been installed and the efforts of the foremen and superintendents
of the various departments. A.

In the departments showing increases in accidents, while it is pos-
sible to install guards in few places, the matter of safety practi
the main safeguard. This applies also to departments that have shor
reductions, as fully 30 per cent. of all accidents occurring in 1915 were
due to carelessness of the employe or his fellow-workman. |

Every employe of the company should take upon himself indivi d-

‘

further accidents to themselves and their fellow-employes.
should acquire the safety habit. It is the only habit that will

Progressive Ottawa Firm of Camp Equipment Manufacturers

Five years ago this fall, Messrs. Grant, Holden, Graham Limited,
Ottawa, started business as manufacturers of tents, tarpaulins, lum-
bermen’s and contractors’ clothing. All the members of the firm had
wide and practical experience along these lines, and an up-to-date
factory of four storeys was opened on Albert Street. Within two
years it was found necessary to double the capacity and during the

New factory of Grant, Holden, Graham, Limited, Ottawa.

next four years their business expanded until their connection extend-
ed from Vancouver to Sydney, ‘and with war contracts on hand in
addition to their regular business, they were working night and day
with 400 employees to catch up with orders. In February of this
year, however, fire destroyed their modern factory building. Nothing
daunted, within 48 hours the indefatigable general manager, Mr. S. S.
Holden, had the whole force working in temporary premises ready
to take care of all orders, and plans under way for a larger and even
more modern factory building.

The accompanying illustration shows the building practically
completed and ready for occupancy. It is a modern seven-storey,
absolutely fireproof building of steel and reinforced concrete, equip-
ped with sprinkler system and latest lavatory equipment and modern
dressing room for their employees. The first two floors will be de-
voted to general offices and warehouse space, with the remaining
poets given over to manufacturing. All the latest and most modern
machinery has been installed.

Grant, Holden, Graham, Limited, manufacture a full and com-
plete line of lumbermen’s and contractors’ clothing furnishings, van
goods and camp equipment, tents, tarpaulins, wagon covers and horse
clothing. There is nothing in the lumbermen’s needs in these lines
they cannot supply. Four travellers cover the country from Winnipeg
to Halifax in the interests of the firm, and Messrs. Finnie and Mur-
ray, of Winnipeg, handle ali their lines for western Canada. The
firm ciaim to have the largest exclusive tent factory in America and

and women will be employed in the new factory. The personnel of
the company consists of S. S. Holden, general manager; B. W: Gra-
ham, sales manager; and A. J. Hendry, warehouse manager.

The Calculating Machine for the Lumber Office

The accompanying illustration of the Dalton multiplying, oe
ing, and subtracting machine shows an appliance particularly adaea d
and. almost indispensable to every lumber office.

The fact that there are only ten keys (one for each numeral
makes the operation of the Dalton exceedingly easy. Any one, from
the office boy up, can operate it after a few minutes’ instruction—
can add long columns, find board feet of any number of any variet
of different lengths of lumber, can extend totals, check up lumber
and log reports and tally sheets, prove trial balances, make up pa}
rolls, ete.

Lumbermen who use the Dalton find that it fills the need i

have proved inadequate.

Lidgerwood Portable High Spar Skidder

Canadian Allis-Chalmers Company have just issued a new bul-
letin, No. 55, describing Lidgerwood Portable High Spar Skidders, the
result of the continual development of the tree rig method of overhead
skidding as first installed by the Lidgerwood Manufacturing Com-
pany, twenty-five years ago. This machine has the most modern
devices of the kind for skidding logs, the deflection obtained in the
main cable by the use of the high spar making long spans practicable.
The Lidgerwood Manufacturing Company state that their skidders
are the only skidders provided with interlocking drums, and with a
mechanical slackpuller. These two devices result in high speed out-
haul, skidding with the load in suspension, a reduction of the strain
on engines and cables, and a saving of time picking up each load.
This new bulletin will be sent to those interested, on application.

Gasoline Log Haulers Doing Good Work

Gasoline log haulers are coming into use in several parts of
Canada, and according to the service they have already given, the
prospects are that they will become a fairly general factor in log-
ging operations wherever conditions are suitable. One of these trac-
tors, manufactured by the Lombard Traction Co., Waterville, Me.,
is being operated by F. E. Sayre & Co., Ltd., St. John, N.B., who ad-
vise us that the total cost in Canada is about $5,500. This would include
three sets of three sleds each. They leave one set of sleds in the
yard, one set at the brow and keep one in transit. In this way the
tractor is working steadily all day long. The tractor is doing the
work of about eight pairs of horses. ‘Theoretically, they say that it
should do much better, but like all mechanical apparatus it is liable
at times to give out. In operating the gasoline log hauler, F. E.
Sayre & Company say it is best to get a thoroughly competent man to
ruin it, and also that it is wise to build a proper shed to keep it in and
to have the shed heated.

In operations where the logs are not hauled more than four miles,
they believe they can, in practice, be hauled cheaper, with horses, if
the operator is so situated that he does not have to own his horses,

but can hire them per pair with driver at from $50 to $60 per month.

On hauls of from four to six miles, they find that the tractor is
superior to horses. It can be operated for a day of about nine hours

Contract Logging Preferred by Eastern Operators

The York & Sunbury Milling Company, Gibson, N.B., who ha
all their logging done by contract in preference to establishing rh
own camps advise us that they find this way of doing business mute
preferable. There are many reasons why they favor it. Chief amo
these is the fact that their operations are scattered over consideré
territory, necessitating several camps many miles apart, for operat
from one-half to two millions each. They have not the necess
camp equipments for so many operations, nor are they able to 4
competent woods foremen to take charge of each operation. Of
course, they employ a competent woodsman who has a general super-
vision of the work and their contracts require that the work must be
done to his satisfaction. :

Most of the logging operators in that part of the country have
their own camp equipment and are accustomed to doing work under
contract. The manufacturers claim that the work can be done bet
ter and with less expense when the operator has a money interest
in the work of his crew, and the manufacturer is relieved of so many
details. }

In connection with their manufacturing operations at Pokiok,
N.B., the York & Sunbury Milling Company have installed a log
chute from their mill pond to the St. John River, a distance of about
500 feet, through which they sluice two to three million feet of logs”
each year. These they raft and tow to their Gibson mill, about forty
miles below, using motor boats for this purpose.

Stevens’ sawmill and stock of lumber near New Liskeard, Ont., were des
troyed by fire in the forest fires occurring in that district on August 22nd

A report from Arnprior, Ont., states that McLachlin Bros.’ sawmills
that point have closed down after a run of only three months, this being ©
of the shortest seasons they have ever experienced. The firm, like all others
had a great deal of trouble during the summer with the labor question, at
finally concluded that it was advisable to close down. Many of the employees
have since found situations at Braeside, Pembroke and other points. :

i
The two associated firms of Cockburn, Whaley Company, and Knight,
Cockburn and Whaley, wholesale hardwood lumber merchants, Guelph, Ont.,
are being dissolved and are reorganizing. Mr. H. G. Cockburn, -the founde:
of the business, who has been an active member of both companies is taking
in with him his own son, Mr. H. R. Cockburn, and will continue to conduct
a wholesale business under the firm name of H. G. Cockburn and Son. They
will occupy the same offices, in the telephone building. It is understood that |
Mr. Knight and Mr. Whaley will conduct a business under the name of the
Knight Whaley Company. :

Russia Negotiates for Box Cars

According to a despatch from Chicago, demands for an enormous
quantity of lumber to be used in connection with the construction
of freight cars for the Russian Government may soon appear on the
general lumber market in consequence of arrangements said to have
heen made by New York bankers, on a trip to that country. It is
believed that contracts are being negotiated for between 40,000 and
50,000 freight cars for that government, and as New York bankers-are
interested in the making of a loan to the government it is likely that
orders for a large number of these cars will be placed. Orders for the
number mentioned would necessitate the consumption of between
140,000,000 and 175,000,000 feet of lumber. The first move in the
campaign of extending the freight equipment of the Russian Govern-
ment is seen in the recent awarding of contracts by the Imperial
Munitions Board at Ottawa, Ont., for 7,000 box cars for the Russian
railroads.

_ U.S. Imports of Canadian Wood Pulp Greatly Increased

_ According to a Washington, D.C., despatch, over two-thirds of
the more than a billion pounds of wood pulp imported into the United
States during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, and used in the
manufacture of paper, came from Canada. The pulp importations for
_«191S- 16 have been 180,000,000 pounds less than for the previous tweive
Berths, yet the amount shipped to United States from Canada during

he past year was 130,000,000 pounds in excess of her 1914-15 ship-

ents. During the year just closed nearly 70 per cent. of 1,135,000,000
peu of pulp imported came from Canada, while most of the re-
haining 30 per cent. came from Norway and Sweden.

In the case of Price Bros. Limited, vs. the Shives Lumber Com-
pany, judgment has been handed down by the Superior Court at
3 R imouski, in favor of the Shives Lumber Company. The action was
taken by Price Bros., who claimed $3,616 for timber which they alleged
‘as cut by the Shives Lumber Company on their property on the
per waters of the River Rimouski, the amount claimed being on a
asis of $1 per tree.

Hart & McDonagh, wholesale lumber dealers, Continental Life
Building, Toronto, report that they have purchased a block of birch
d spruce lumber from the Rideau Lumber Company of Ottawa. ‘Che
ck includes over 6,000,000 feet. This new firm of wholesalers
eport that they have met with escouraging success during their first
ason’s business.

=e B. Wall, of the Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Company, Buffalo,
.Y., who with his brothers, M. M. Wall and T. H. Wall are owners
‘tensive timber resources in British Columbia, is on a tour of
tion of this property with a view, perhaps, of the Wall interests

H. Turner, secretary
and treasurer of The Easton Furniture Com-
pany, of Easton, Md., after giving the “More-
head” system a thorough trial.

Until you are draining the condensation from
your kilns and returning it—every drop—to the
boilers at the original temperature—

—you are wasting heat units that cost you DOL-
LARS to produce.

STOP THAT WASTE!

Rejuvenate your entire steam plant by making
the inexpensive “Morehead” system a part of it.
Save fuel by bringing the pure condensation di-
rectly back to the boilers HOT!

Save repairs by eliminating forever the necessity
for the wasteful and constantly out-of-order steam
pump. The simple, easily installed “Morehead”
system will much more than pay for itself the
first year of use.

Write for the proof to-day.

The “Morehead” book shows actual pho-
tographs of some interesting installa-
tions. Don’t you want your copy at once?

When You
Overhaul Your Mill

HERE are wet places in every saw and pulp mill where nothing but the highest class
belting can ‘‘make good.” It is for these wet places that we recommend what most

mill-men swear by—our

“ACME WATERPROOF” BELT

This belt is especially made for a rough and trying service. It has less stretch than any other

belt by 15 to 25 per cent.
When you are overhauling try a Goodhue ‘‘Acme Waterproof’ belt. The Goodhue belts

are ‘‘Extra’ and ‘‘Standard.”’

And Here is Why:

Built in 8, 9 and 10 ft. sizes, there’s a Waterous Band=

mill for every kind of work.

The spring-cushioned, all knife edged tension device is
the most sensitive in use.

Upper and lower guides swing about the exact centre
of the saw blade.

The Upper Guide is raised and lowered by steam, and easy,
accurate and swift adjustment unequalled by any other.
Wheel raising device and tilting device are roller bearing.
Operating mechanism is entirely enclosed in columns. Saw-
dust and slivers, cannot reach it.

Massive design of the bed and columns precludes vibration
during cutting. This mill is absolutely steady doing the
heaviest work.

Every part of the mill is designed to make mill-wrighting”

easy. Adjustments and inspections can be made without
difficulty.

Waterous Bandmills are designed and built in a plant that”

has specialized in the manufacture of Canadian sawmill mach=—

inery for more than 50 years. It counts.

The famous Barienger Braking Device, as used in logging operations
throughout Canada and the United States, has proved a great success.
It has reduced the cost of road building, made shorter hauls possible,
and practically eliminated accidents to horses and men. ‘Timber con-
sidered inaccessible is now easily taken out with the aid of Barienger
Brakes.

For Logging Operations, Bush Work,
Camp Lighting and Saw Mill Use

[h C bi Li ht
Carbic Light gives a clear, white light of from 500 to 5000 candle power.
One filling of Carbic Cakes will keep the lamp burning steadily twelve hours.

This system of furnishing light in isolated places is especially adaptable for
use in lumber camps and also for actual bush operations. The Carbic Light
is the newest and certainly the most simple and efficient method of producing a
steady volume of brilliant white light, the volume of which can be regulated

| BRIGHT as
DAYLIGHT

By comprising Raw Carbide into solid cakes we produce
“Carbic.’’ {n combination with oursimple burners and
generators you can secure a hand portable or stationary
light of almost any desired candle power. The Carbic
Cakes are simply dropped into the machine as required
and each of these cakes will produce approximately 15
cubic feet of pure acetylene. When lights are turned out
generation of gas stops, and is resumed when lamp is
again lighted. There is no waste. The cost of
maintenance is small. For instance, the operating ex-
pense of the Carbic Hand Lamp No. 7 (as illustrated on
the left) is 1 cent per hour. It will burn ten hours on
one Carbic Cake, giving approximately a too candle
power light.

We have an interesting catalog describing
the Carbic Light.
It is Free. te Send today.

Canada’s Banner Province |

Ontario’s timber re-
sources are unrivalled.

No other’ country
possesses such a
variety of hard and

soft woods.

Ontario forests are
adjacent to the great-
est waterways of the
world—the mighty
rivers and lakes pro-
vide unusual facilities

for the lumberman.

Three Transcon-
tinental Railways
across the Province
eliminate transporta-

tion difficulties.

Ontario’s pine producing areas outclass those of any other country {
in the world, both in extent and quality of the timber.

Exporters to the European markets should — investigate the’ |
opportunities Ontario offers for the supply of Dimension Timber, Pit ©

September 1, 1916

Ontario’s wood work-
ing industries, using 34
different kinds of wood,

- provide a ready market

for the lumberman.
Eighty-two per cent. of
wood used in the
Ontario industries pur-
chased within the Pro-
vince.

Ontario leads in pro-
duction of hardwoods,
cutting twice as much

as Quebec, second on -

the list.

Ontario has unlimited
quantities of Spruce

and other soft woods —

suitable for the pulp
and paper industry.

Tremendous pulp
areas areyet untouched.

HOE. Chisel Tooth SAWS

Hoe saws run true and keep their edge longer, because of inbuilt quality and expert
workmanship. Nearly 90 years of saw making experience stand back of our product.
The first saw made in America was stamped with the name ‘*‘HOE.”” Now-a-days when
lumbermen want Hoe products they simply ask for ‘‘The Best.”

For Hard Steady Work—Hoe Has No Equal

Over 100,000 Hoe Saws now in use. Let us send you catalogue and price list of the different sizes.

| 128,350 Laths in Ten Hours

Our Lath-Mill and Bolter have made a test cut in ten hours of 128,350 four foot Laths, 1% in. by 3% in.,
counted, tied and piled, as will be seen in the following letter :—

Messrs. P. Payette & Co.,
Penetanguishene, Ont., Can.

ee, eae

Dear Sirs,—I thought I would
drop you a line and let you know
of the record Lath-Cut we made
on your machines on June 29th,
1910.

We made 128,350 four-foot
laths, 1% in. x % in., counted,
tied and piled, in ten hours steady
cutting from mill-run, and from
slabs and edgings we had saved
out, in order to keep the machines
cutting their full capacity.

We used your No. 1 Four-Saw
Bolter, 2nd your No. 2 Five-Saw
Lath-Mill, and had. two Lath-
Shovers and two Lath-Tiérs, .in
order to keep up this speed. .

This shows extremely well for
your Lath Machines, not only for
the tremendous cut, but they ran
the full ten hours without a bear-
ing getting hot or any stoppage
whatsoever, and making first-class
laths.

I therefore take great pleasure
in recommending P. PAY-
ETTE’S LATH - MACHINERY
to any person requiring up-to-
date machinery.

I remain,
Yours sincerely,
D. J. MacMILLAN,

HARD SERVICE LOCOMOTIVES

Because of the severe conditions under which small
locomotives must frequently operate, they must be
built with the greatest care. Operation at a distance
from shops or other repair facilities is not unusual

This class of equipment must be simple in design to
be easily accessible for repairs.

They must be properly proportioned, must have
necessary strength in each part, and must be ready
for service at all times.

Our standard light locomotives embody the most modern construction, are built for the hardest
service. and to do the most work for the least cost. They are simple in design and easy
to repair.

We can make immediate shipment of locomotives of various sizes.

PiGut filing. costs

in half

Filing is like drilling. The moment the file
wears smooth, it takes twice, or three times,
the energy to accomplish the desired result.
Engineers have got it down to a scientific
basis in drilling. The moment a drill reaches
the ‘‘inefficient point’’ it is discarded, and
this ‘‘efficient point’’ is determined by the

‘amount of power used to drill a certain

dimension.

Workmen are not machinery ; consequently
you have to depend upon the personal ele-
ment and educate your men up to the point
where they will know at once when their files
have reached the ‘‘inefficient point.”” If you
educate your men to this, you will get double
the results at the bench, compared by results
when men have been working with files that
are ‘‘inefficient.”

The Famous Five are:

well worth reading by any manuafcturer, shop

Is one which some architects still
use as an argument against any
southern pine for white enamel
treatment. This is due to their ap-
parent belief that ali yellow pine
at least, is alike.

The illustration shows our big planer
and handling gear for dressing large timbers,

Raised grain however, is a con-
tingency only when the enamel is put upon
pine of heavy resinous content, which must
necessarily be shellaced before the priming
coat of lead and oil is applied. When the
shellac comes in contact with the rosin streaks,
it causes the latter to raise, which brings about
the undesirable final effect.

ARKANSAS SOFT
PINE

Interior Trim is virtually free from rosin, has
a tough fibre and fine grain and does not re-
quire preliminary shellacing. Instead, after
proper sanding, the lead and oil priming coat
is applied direct to the raw wood so that a
perfectly even absorption takes place. No
raising of the grain occurs. When the enamel
undercoating and finishing coats are finally
completed and rubbed, the ultimate effect is a
mirror-like surface which will satisfy the most
exacting architect or home-owner.

} ext Year’s Lumber Price Problem

The thought that is uppermost in the minds of lumber manufac-
urers in Canada to-day is about the outlook for next winter’s opera-
is and the effect that the present labor situation is likely to have
n prices and available stocks of lumber next year. In our issue of
eptember 1st we published the views of a number of manufacturers
pon this subject, and one cannot avoid feeling, after reading these
ters, that the coming winter will be a critical one for the manufac-
ers. In normal times the lumber manufacturer has his full share
perplexing problems to solve. This year it looks as if every detail
o! ff his operations will be a problem of considerable size. he only
items of expense, for instance, that can be counted upon to remain at
all stationary are such as ground rents, stumpage dues, royalties, etc.,
lich are fixed for a period of years by government regulations.
rything else is going up, and there seems to be no means of estab-
shing what the limit of advance will be.
_ What effect is all this likely to have upon the lumber market
t year? The only way to get at a practical conception of the
ot ect is by an analysis of costs and prices. After discussing these
tures with a number of extensive manufacturers, we have summed
up as concisely as we can and present the following as an out-
of the way in which matters appear at present. First of all, as
erating costs, and confining ourselves to the situation in Ontario,
erage basis of labor costs for cutting, skidding, and hauling dur-
the past few years would be from $7 to $9 per thousand feet,
1 represents the labor cost in connection with delivering logs at
‘mill. To saw, pile, and load the lumber the labor cost during the
few years practically worked out at from $3 to $4 per thousand
‘This gives an average labor cost of about $12 for the lumber
e cars at the mill. In this cost there is nothing included for
rent, stumpage dues, interest charges, etc. We are dealing
ith she labor cost, which has been advancing so rapidly of

4 ‘ :
a ». ~

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

- - Telephone A. 2700 - - 347 Adelaide Street West -

In the past the labor cost has probably averaged about 60 per
cent. of the cost of production. We can get at a fair idea of its in-
crease of late months by comparing the present wages with those of
last year. Generally speaking, the wages in the bush last year were
from $26 to $30 per month and board. ‘This year operators are paying
wages running from $40 to $50 per month and board, and the quality
of the labor has deteriorated. ~ We believe we are safe in concluding,
on the basis of many reports received, that there is an increase of 50
per cent. in wages. The labor cost in general may be assumed to
have made a similar advance. An advance of 50 per cent. in the labor
cost may reasonably be estimated as an advance of 30 per cent. in the
cost of production, and this increase will not take into consideration
any other element of increased cost, such as interest upon the greater
capital outlay required, reduced efficiency of labor, ete.

The conclusion that we are forced to reach, is that
there must be higher prices for lumber next year. Working out the
increased price upon the same basis as the increased labor cost, it will
appear to be necessary to add about 30 per cent. to the prices offered
this year. Lumber, for instance, that has been selling at $20 at the
mill will have to bring $26 if the manufacturer is to come out even as
well as he has during the past year.

This is how the situation appears to those who are planning to
go into the woods this winter. Unless they can count upon such an
increase in price for their product they will be operating at a loss.
We do not care to go into the prophesying business, or to express
with any confidence an opinion as to whether prices will go up next
year or not; but these facts are so well appreciated by manufacturers
to-day that we do expect a considerable falling off in the quantity of
logs taken out of the woods during the coming winter. Whether this
decrease will be sufficient to jack up the price of lumber next year is
not within our power to say, as there are so many other influences at
work that may upset the most careful calculations. So far as anyone
can analyze the situation, howeve er, we are expecting a reduced cut
and higher prices.

The Canada Lumberman represents all branches of the lumber
industry and trade, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and, so far
as possible, even the consumers. The facts as we have outlined them
are well understood by many manufacturers. ‘To the retailer they
are of special significance. They put it up to him to do the best he
can in the way of estimating in advance the extent of his require-
ments and considering to what extent the outlook for next year’s
trade will warrant him in buying stocks in advance. It will at least be
important for the retailer to keep his ear close to the ground and to
consider the price situation very critically.

therefore,

Handling the Salesman

One of the most delicate matters to handle that come up with the
wholesale lumber business is the treatment of the salesman who repre-
sents the firm upon the road. If all salesmen were alike and all had
the same tastes and ambitions, it would be an easy matter to system-
atize the work so as to get the best results out of everyone, but sales-
men differ the same as all other men, and each salesman is an individ-
ual problem to his employer. If he has ambition and skill as a sales-
man the only problem for his employer will be how to keep a man
Irom selling his services to some competitor. That is really a happy
situation, which is easily solved, for such a man’s value to an employer
is great enough to make it easy for him to pay the salesman sufficient
to remain with him. Where the difficulty comes in is in handling a
salesman who, though naturally well equipped for his work, has not
the energy and the inclination to keep at it day in and day out as much
for the satisfaction of getting results as for the advancement of his
employer’s and his own personal interests. There is many a man who
has all the elements of a good salesman with the single exception of
the dynamic force that is necessary to keep him forever on the trail so
long as there is game to be bagged. When such a man gets really into
action he is often as clever at separating a customer from an order as
a man of greater ambition, but the latter is the man who hunts up the
next customer and goes after him without loss of time and just as
keenly as though he had not been successful with the former customer.
There are salesmen of the former class who can make splendid records

ad CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

for a time and who then have their off periods, when they seem to
lose all their ginger. Results come slowly, ambition droops, and confi-
dence commences to flag. How is the employer going to handle such
a man so as to get the most out of him and so as to keep him up to the
mark, thereby doing the salesman a service as well as himself? It is
a big question. Every case has to be handled in its particular way,
depending upon the temperaments of the salesman and the employer.

We all take it for granted that essentially salesmen and employers
are all cast in a fairly similar mould. That is to say, that they all want
to get results that involve profit. It is all a question of degree that
makes the difference between some men and others. Take an instance:
One salesman whom we know made himself so indispensable to his
employer that before long the latter found that the only way in which
to retain the salesman’s services was to give him an interest in the
‘business. He would have started a business on his own account if he
had not been given an interest in the one he was working for. He
was a good man, always making new friends, converting prospects
into customers, and working up a continually increasing trade. He
was full of ambition as well as a natural born salesman. There was
no problem for the employer in this case. His course was really dic-
tated to him by his salesman. Another man, a good salesman, with
the natural disposition and gifts for getting orders, happened to be
less generously endowed with ambition than the other one. He had
a good manner, which commended him to his employers, but he drifted
from one position to another, until he fell in with a firm of progressive
lumbermen who knew the selling business as well as the manufactur-
ing business, pretty nearly from A to Z. What they wanted was
results, and if they got results they were ready to pay for them hand-
somely. But the salesman would make fine records for a time and
then poor ones, until at last the crisis came. His employers then had
a difficult problem to face. They did not want to lose a man whom
they believed was a good salesman if handled in a proper manner, so
they had a heart-to-heart talk with him. Then the salesman realized
that he was facing a crisis, and he rose to the occasion. The result
was that he went out upon trial for a stated period. His record was
closely watched, and he knew it was being watched. The territory he
covered was well understood both by him and his employers. A cer-
tain volume of business could reasonably be expected. The salesman
“went to it” with a vim, and in came the orders, far. beyond what he
or his employers had expected. He astonished himself. His employers
were really not astonished, as they had summed up the situation and
thought they knew what to expect. Their judgment was well vindi-
cated.

The point we are coming to is not that this salesman nearly came
to grief by showing a tendency to take the line of least resistance—
that is an old story, not worth emphasizing. The thing we want to
point out is that these employers knew a good salesman when they
saw him and understood how to handle him. They kept on with this
salesman in the same manner, cheering him up whenever possible,
checking up his results continually, and keeping everlastingly before
him that he must show results. They have done themselves a great
service by developing a good salesman, and they have carried the
salesman safely through a period when, with another kind of employer,
he might have gone to the bad.

Salesmanship is one problem. The management of employees is
quite another problem. The man who understands both lines is a rare
bird, but an employee who finds himself in the service of such a man
is lucky, if he knows it, even though he may sometimes think that he
is driven like a machine. In his saner moments he will appreciate the
service that his.employers are rendering to him, and one of these days
continued experience will turn such a’‘man into the best possible kind
of a business man, namely, one who has found out his own weaknesses
and has learned how to handle them himself.

Several large working gangs have commenced operations in con-
nection with the construction of the Canadian Northern Railway line
from Kamloops to the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. This line
will be of much benefit to the district, and will enable holders of tim-
ber to manufacture and realize upon their resources, and, finally, to
open land for settlers.

Paper Shortage Worrying Dailies

Newspaper Publishers Considering Higher Subscription Rates
and Asking Prohibition of Pulpwood Export

President E. W. Backus, of the Fort Frances Pulp and Paper
Company, recently invited western Canadian publishers to attend ;
conference at International Falls, Minn., to discuss with them th
shortage of newsprint and its rise in price. Among those in attendan
were E. H. Macklin and W. McCurdy, of the Manitoba Free ae es
R. L. Richardson, of the Winnipeg Tribune; Chas. A. Roland,
Winnipeg Telegram ; W. F. Herman, of the Saskatoon Star, anc
Hooke, of the Regina Leader. The discussion continued for two d
and covered many suggestions for relieving the present severe ~
under which publishers are working. Mr. Backus reported that |
labor was scarce and wages were high; materials for the prod:
of newsprint had gone up several hundred percent and the adv
ing patronage of the large American dailies had been growing
resulting in increased consumption of newsprint. The paper :
were finding it impossible to gather a reserve supply. Moreov
year they were being forced farther from their mills for their w
For these reasons Mr. Backus gave it as his opinion that the pr
paper would never again recede to anything like the levels
in 1915 and before that time. Moreover, he could not see any {
for relief from the present high prices in the near future.
adian publishers, and Americans as well, were asking for more
than their contracts called for, and the mills were not able to s
the extra tonnage, even though they operated twenty-four
day for six days in the week. He urged the newspapers to
greater economy in the use of newsprint, Western papers, h
were altogether too large, giving far too much reading matter f
amount of advertising carried. He thought that publishers
soon find themselves forced to change their tactics. Several .
can dailies were paying over 300 percent more for their ne
supply today than they were a year ago, and they were oee
a deficit. The only alternative, he believed, was strict econc
the use of newsprint.

The publishers in attendance at the conference ex
opinion unanimously that some radical steps must be taken im
ately to afford relief, drawing attention particularly to the fact
subscription rates were lower than they should be and that too h
a burden was being carried by the advertisers.

In connection with the increasing cost of paper in Giaaiae t is
interesting to report that at a recent session of the Alberta
Eastern B. C. Press Association a resolution was carried in the
lowing words :—‘“That, in the opinion of this convention of the n
paper publishers of Alberta and Eastern British Columbia, the -
has come, in the interests of Canada and Candian industry, for
Dominion Government to take steps to restrict or prohibit the
portation of pulpwood from Canada, and thus to give such encour
ment to the manufacturers of papers in Canada as will result in
benefit and advantage to the Dominion, and in the interests of t
printing and publishing industries of Canada, and that copies of
resolution be forwarded to the Prime Minister of Canada, and to
of the western Canada members of the Dominion Government, <z
also to the secretary of the Canadian Press Association, with the
quest that that organization be asked for its support.”

News of the death of Mr. Franklin E. Parker, of Bay City, M

A synopsis of the information secured regarding foreign markets
rt Douglas fir, by Mr. H. R. MacMillan, during his recent world tour
Canadian Special Trade Commissioner, was given in a recent
ess by the commissioner, delivered before the British Columbia
er and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association at Vancouver. The

The average annual. imports of Dougas fir to the markets I have
d have been:

one, Eeicdtely upon the fixing of peace, receives occasional
aper attention. Up-to-date information in this particular trade
ig may be expected from the Canadian Trade Commission now
ng Europe. My opinion is that the after-war demands for com-
lumber from the Pacific Coast are overrated. The European
ions will, wherever possible, use their natural resources of clay,
te, cement, and stone, and rebuild according to their habits, thus
ucing imports and utilizing the labor of their released populations
one and the same time. The common lumber demands will be met
efly by European and Atlantic supplies. We may expect a year or
business, similar to what we have already received, in furnishing
bers such as Europe does not readily afford, for railroad, public
k, and heavy temporary construction.

Douglas fir entered foreign markets long after the trade had
some fixed in the use of other woods. It has increased its use only
the displacement of other woods, and in that displacement it still
s far to go. Almost everywhere it has been bought first because of
he arge sizes in which it can be secured, and in the second place
use of its cheapness for rough uses. It is now regarded every-
as a satisfactory rough timber, but before the war, only in a
places—Australia and the South Sea Islands particularly—was it
arded as a satisfactory wood for using in any dressed form for
h or joinery.

war has given Douglas fir a great lift, and caused it to be
erally for finish for structural purposes in competition with
timber and pitch-pine (Southern yellow pine) by persons
o would otherwise have continued for years the use of their other
even in the face of enhanced prices.

shortage of Swedish and pitch-pine in many markets has
ized architects, engineers, builders, dealers, and consumers
uglas fir, to a degree which could not have been accomplished
lion dollar advertising campaign. This is as true of the mar-
stant from the war as of the markets within twenty-four hours
firing line. It may be safely said that there is not a woodwork-
hop in the United Kingdom which has not within the past eigh-
months used Douglass fir for every purpose for which Swedish
itch-pine would in normal times be demanded.

eforth it will be a matter of price only. Heretofore Douglas
d only have entered such shops if sold considerably cheaper.

Prejudices Against Canadian Wood.

Phe prejudices affecting the use of any new wood are known to
iris a comparatively new wood on the conservative foreign
ts, and a few of the prejudices affecting its use even yet may be
| from the following instances:
the Admiralty shipyards for a considerable number of years
used Baltic planks 2 x 11 and 3 x 11 for staging while work-
e outside of large vessels. Baltic in this size is very hard to
hen they were getting out their specifications last year they
Douglas fir, and then their workmen were afraid to stand on
workmen right straight through have a prejudice against new
nich we must overcome. The man who orders the timber
does not know anything about timber; the workmen have
d on Baltic all their lives, and the office man thinks if there is
cident he will be responsible if he authorizes a change. It does
any difference to him if it costs more; he does not own the
consequently he specifies Baltic.
n Paris when France was calling for tenders for ordinary
cars. They were going to specify Southern pine. The Cana-
- and Foundry Company’s man was there at the time getting
1s on lumber. The French Government finally agreed to get
on Douglas fir, which was cheaper, and finally accepted it.
ill find it satisfactory, but the feeling was that Douglas

Foreign Opportunities for Douglas Fir

able for freight cars in Canada, and it is subject to much worse weather
conditions and harder usage than in Europe.

Many gold mines on the reef in South Africa still use pitch- -pine
timbers, in spite of the fact that Douglas fir has had twenty years’
satisfactory service in neighboring mines, and is much cheaper.

The South African railways have alw ays refused Douglas fir for
trestles or railway truck construction; they use pitch-pine, even when
it is almost twice as expensive. West Australia, under similar climatic.
conditions, used Douglas fir for freight cars, as does South Australia.

When Douglas fir was substituted in the Rand for Swedish deals
in staging, the workmen refused to work unless the thickness of Doug-
las fir was doubled. They feared it was not as strong as Swedish.

Planing mills throughout Africa use Swedish for all dressed work.
Only a few use fir to any extent.

The effect of trade habits in the use of various timbers is seen
cearly in Australia. Nearly all joinery, mouldings, architraves, etc.,
used in Adelaide are Swedish; in Sydney but little Swedish is used ;
Douglas fir has become a staple.

That the use of this wood should vary so throughout many coun-
tries, being chosen for a particular purpose in one country and refused
for this same purpose in another country, is a strong reflection on our
marketing methods. It does not lead to increased respect for these
methods to find that the same variation of opinions regarding the use
of fir exists between different towns in the same country, and between
different builders, engineers, and architects in the same town. There
is a great lack of standardized knowledge regarding the technical
qualities and wise uses of the wood. The market has drifted.

If the most extensive uses discovered in every city were made a
standard, and the whole of the importing countries were brought up
to this standard of use of Douglas fir, the market would at least be
doubled over night. This would be accomplished by education alone
and not by change in price.

It may be taken for granted that there is no lack of opportunity
for increasing the use of Douglas fir in foreign markets.

The first obstacle to be overcome is the unprofitable nature of the
export business. An overwhelming proportion of the cargo business
returns little or no profit to the manufacturer, because of the low price
accepted and the high grades shipped.

The volume of ‘trade would not be adversely affected if prices were
increased to a profitable level. Such an increase of $3 or $4 would
barely reach the consumer, who in Africa, India, and Australasia pays
$45 to $75 per thousand for rough fir lumber. The first essential step
is that exporters in Canada and “the United States combine to reach a
profitable export price.

Grading Situation of Great Importance.

Another serious question is the grade now shipped to foreign
ports. The exporters are competing against one another in raising
the quality of the grade shipped. The foreign buyer when he buys
merchantable, expects something much better, and by playing one
shipper against another he gets it. The result is that although most
of the fir going into Australia is re-sawn for studding, joists, ra#ters,
and rough building material, a very much higher grade is demanded
than would do for such purposes in Vancouver. The exporting mill
is left with 70 per cent. or more of the log on hand, in the shape of
low grades. The Sydney builder puts select in his fence, roof, or
studding. The Durban merchant re-saws flooring and stepping from
a merchantable cargo. He considers himself unfairly treated if he
receives a merchantable cargo which will not produce a good propor-
tion of uppers.

The buying ability exercised by the foreign buyer is superior to
the selling ability exhibited by the domestic manufacturer. Co-opera-
tion is needed to increase the amount of common shipped for uses
where common is sufficient. A temporary fence built around a con-
struction job in Sydney contained 66 edge-grained clears out of a total
of 122 inch by 6 inches by 6-foot boards.

A beginning towards controlling the self-robbery now practised
by the exporting mills would be made if each inspection certificate
sent out showed a statement of the grade of all pieces in the shipment.
The buyer and seller would then know definitely just how much better
than merchantable each cargo graded.

The reasons for Canada’s small share of the trade are not difficult
to locate. Canadian mills, speaking generally, are only interested in
export when the rail trade is particularly bad. They do not, therefore,
build up permanent connections, nor consider it worth while to develop
in Canadian ports facilities for loading as expeditiously and economi-
cally as in United States ports. .The importers in foreign countries
find it necessary to establish their Pacific Coast buying connections
with the persons who, year in and year out, take care of the export

26 CANACLA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 7

trade, and who, be the enquiry large or small, the specifications pleas-
ing or difficult, will fill the order. There have always been a large
number of mills in the United States who have given particular atten-
tion to this business, who have co-operated to give rapid despatch on
all classes of business, who have developed special facilities for han-
dling export orders, and upon whom both exporting houses and for-
eign importers rely. The number of such mills in Canada is extremely
limited.

Foreign importers, even though in some cases sentimentally in-
clined to favor Canadian mills, do not consider that even the best of
our mills are in a position to handle all classes of business on a com-
petitive c.if. basis, when all the various elements of price, rate of
loading, time lost in coaling, and charter prices are taken into con-
sideration. j

Deservedly or undeservedly, Canadian mills have earned a repu-
tation with foreign importers for failing to quote on enquiries, failing
to make deliveries in the time limit set, and for having an indisposi-
tion to work together so as to be able to undertake extensive ship-
ments, and Canadian prices are considered to be, as a rule, higher
than those in the United States.

No complaint is made against Canadian quality, except that Cana-
dian timber is no longer acceptable for Port Pirie mining timbers,
because of its fancied greater weight. This trade, amounting to about
20,000,000 per year, can be regained when it is shown that. Canadian
timber weighs no more for rail shipment than does American.

The export timber trade is conducted in a perfectly open, unpro-
tected market. Competition forces the foreign importers to form
their Pacific Coast buying connections in those centres where the most
favorable conditions exist for filling any character or any volume of
export business.

The most important foreign importers are British. They would
prefer to place their buying connections in British Columbia. Practi-
cally all, when considering the matter, have decided that not sufficient
mills are equipped for export business in British Columbia to justify
important buyers in restricting themselves to this market.

If we desire a larger share of the growing export trade we can
secure it on competitive terms. Mills must meet United States prices.
They must quote months ahead for export sales.

A Canadian Trading Company Required.

An exporting or trading company is also a necessary part of the
machinery if a large trade is to be built up. This company will per-
form the very necessary service of forming desirable foreign connec-
tions, without which it is difficult to develop business or operate
freights competitively; will finance shipments, distribute business to
mills best adapted to handle it at the moment, and, in short, will look
after the merchandising of the timber. I do not consider it feasible for
the individual mills to successfully work up export business single-
handed. The trend of the business in the United States supports this
belief. There the merchandising of the lumber shipped off shore has
passed into the hands of trading companies who buy it from the mills,
transport it to the foreign port, sell it, and finance the transaction.
much of the expert and speculative shipping element enters this trade
that a lumber manufacturer, working individually, cannot hope per-
manently to compete and get the best out of his opportunities.

Sooner or later the development of Canadian business in other
commodities as well as in lumber will necessitate the development in
Vancouver of a company specializing in the export of Canadian pro-
ducts, and the importing of such foreign necessities, raw and manu-
factured, as must continue to come to this side of the continent. Once
this company has secured the support of a large enough body of Cana-
dian mills to enable it to meet United States price competition it will
be able to form working connections with strong firms in all import-
ing countries, and a sound, permanent export ‘business will be de-
veloped.

Summing up, it is safe to say that the export trade is capable of
great expansion, that co-operation to increase the price to a profitable
level could be made to strengthen rather than weaken the position of
Douglas fir, and that care is necessary to extend the use abroad of
lower grades.

The situation fenaisiee Canadian exports is more serious. Can-
“ada is not now keeping pace with the growth of the trade. Canadians
may think they do not want the export trade; any who think so will in
a few years be found to be wrong. The only possible salvation of
much of our timber investment and the only realization of much of
our timber asset depends upon the broadening of the export market.
This broadening can only come when foreign buyers are satisfied, as
they are not at present, that the manufacturing facilities exist in Can-
ada for handling export business of any character in any volume; that
the manufacturers are prepared, until lumber prices are maintained at
a uniform level on the coast, to meet United States competition, and
that there exist in Canada strong trading companies capable of repre-
senting the foreign buyers’ interests in every way, in quoting competi-
tive c.i.f. prices at foreign ports. No port in the world can expect to
build up export business on any other terms. We must develop the
facilities and compete or go without the trade.

Ontario’s Forest Fire Protection Useless ‘%

Editor Canada Lumberman: Smooth Rock Falls, N. Ont., Sept. 9th
I have followed with interest the various articles in your magazine w
reference to forest protection from fire, but consider that the keynot
the situation is contained in the extracts from an unsigned letter publis
under the heading “Ontario’s Unscientific Fire Ranging,” on page 74 of yor
issue of September ist. I have been for the last eighteen years connected
lumbering firms in the province of Quebec and have recently come to it
and find that the same state of affairs exists here as in Quebec, the li
holder, who pays large sums to the governments is not allowed to pro
limits from fire, as he is not allowed to exclude any one who wishe
through the limits, with the result that fishermen, hunters, gum-pic
in Ontario more than Quebec, prospectors roam at their will
limits, placing fires where and when they wish and often, sadly too
going away without taking the trouble to see that their fires are out.
are the men who cause fires in forest lands. It is very seldom that a |
man carrying on his legal vocation sets fires which do damage to the orests
as he realizes the danger to which he and his living are exposed by fire.
Until the governments give the power to the limit holder to forbid z y-
one without a permit from the fire guardian to pass within the bound:
his limits, it will be lost time for companies to spend money on fire 1
and although I must agree that such systems as are advocated by Mr.
Sweezey in his article on page 73 of the above mentioned number of
journal are a step in the right direction, still, they would be made vastly n
efficacious if the men employed had the Powis to arrest any trespas

There is certainly no question at all as to the superiority of

The day of the “grub stake” logger with the ox-team and skid
ad method of logging is rapidly passing into history. With the
nkey yarder and the line horse, later the haulback, we entered a
era. The old method served its purpose well because the timber,
a rule, was logged close to the water courses. However, as the
ing receded further and further into the mountains, a more scien-
and efficient system had to be developed. Necessity, therefore,
us by degrees the more complex methods in use to-day. As any
becomes more complex the handling of it arranges itself into
ments, and fhese departments develop specialists. So in these
times we have an engineering department connected with the
re modern logging operations.
It is the duty of this department to facilitate the transportation
e logs from the stump to a point where the mill can handle them.
ery simple statement of so great a task—so simple, in fact, that
is apt to pass it over without giving the matter any further con-
eration. Not so with the man who has to solve it. The most up-to-
manner of getting at the solution of this problem in all its details
by means of a topographic map. From it one can ascertain the
tion of logging railroads, camps, water supply, landings, and
ating plans in general. In order to discuss the subject more intel-
ly let us pause at this point to take up briefly the making of a
graphic map. There are numerous methods, but we prefer the
ip method—running three times through each forty-acre tract in
e timber and twice through each forty in open stands. The first
ation consists of establishing a base line through the tract of
aber, preferably through the centre of it, and in such a manner that
the contours will be at or nearly 90 degrees to the strips. On this
se line we establish monuments 440 feet apart and ascertain the
level elevation of each monument. In the office we plat the line
ind the strips at right angles to it, 440 feet apart, to a scale of 330
st per inch. There being no such scale on the market we made one.
lis scale facilitates the platting of all field and office work on the
pographic map.

¥ The Field Party’s Operations.
_ The field party consists of a cruiser and mapper. The cruiser’s
is to estimate the timber and note its condition, etc. The map-
r, equipped with a forest service compass, 10-inch board with plat
ched, pocket aneroid and scale; runs compass, reads the aneroid
ometer, and notes the same on the map. While passing through
e country on the strip he puts in contours as his judgment, checked
the aneroid, dictates. He also checks in on each monument, mak-
a notation of the time of day, the sea level elevation recorded
ereon, and his barometer reading. The difference in elevation
tween two monuments should be checked by the aneroid differences
he office correction. If not, distribute the excess difference as a
Id error, according to the per hour rate as obtained by dividing the
ess difference by the time it took to go from one monument via
trips to the other monument. The 20-foot contour interval seems
ive sufficient detail, and is consistent with the pacing and aneroid
racies. An office aneroid read every hour or a barograph will
ct the fluctuations in air pressure and show the particular time
ay when they occurred. From this office record corrections are
on the field work, as stated above, and the contours connected
strips. When completely corrected for errors in elevation

plans for logging operations and railroad location. The

accuracy of the map for railroading in particular and opera-
lans in general depends upon the personal equation of the map-

preliminary lines were laid out on topographic maps constructed by
them, the length of line scaled, and the grade figured necessary to
reach a given point. When the field location was completed and the
sea level elevation taken the work checked out within five feet. This
is an error of one in eight hundred. Other lines so laid out checked
even better, and one checked one in five hundred. These accuracies
are, indeed, phenomenal and surprising, to say the least. However,
such results cannot be so easily obtained where one man makes the
map and another uses it, because the latter is not aware of the degree
of accuracy used by the maker of the map. For operations in large,
difficult tracts of timber it certainly pays to have maps made early
and accurately. The cost of the map is small indeed compared to the
returns on the investment.

Keeping a Tight Rein on Forest Fires

How does the permit plan of controlling settlers’ fires work in
other provinces and states? This question has aroused public interest
since the disastrous consequences of uncontrolled settlers’ fires in
Northern Ontario in July and August.

“After a careful study of the question,” writes Hon. Jules Allard,
Minister of Lands and Forests for Quebec, “we came to the con-
clusion that the most efficient means of protecting the forests from
damage caused by settlers’ fires, at the same time fostering the agri-
cultural development of the province, was the permit system. This
year there must have been over 2,500 permits granted. There has
been no damage caused by fire for clearing purposes made in virtue
of these permits.”

The President of the St. Maurice Forest Protective Association
of Quebec, patrolling 12,000 square miles of forested and partly set-
tled country, states under date of August 31, 1916:—“We have been
so successful under the permit system that we would under no cir-
cumstances go back to the old way of handling fires. The-settlers
have co-operated with us in every way and their satisfactoion is
universal. So far, we have had not a single fire caused by a settler,
a most unusual and satisfactory record.”

The Chief Forester of the Western Forestry and Conservation
Association, Portland, Ore., says:—“In our Pacific Northwestern
States, the burning permit is as accepted a part of fire prevention as
patrol or fire fighting. No one considers abandoning it. Last year in
the State of Washington alone, nearly 13,000 burning permits were
issued and under them 118,000 acres were burned over. The permit is
an absolute essential of any serious attempt to reduce fire in a de-
veloping forest region.”

From experience gained in British Columbia the unqualified state-
ment is made by the government that unless brush burning is con-
trolled by means of permits, no real fire protection is possible in a
timbered country.

Advises B.C. Exporters to get Together

Mr. P. E. Stainton, representing the firm of J. C. Spedding, Auck-
land, New Zealand, is on a visit to Vancouver and other B. C. centres
in connection with a tour which he is making around the world in the
interests of his firm. In an interview at Vancouver Mr. Stainton said
that B. C. would never get the lumber business of New Zealand or
Australia, unless the-lumber interests of the province went after it,
not as individuals, but conjointly. “There is no use,” he said, “in any
one firm trying to get business down there off its own bat; it will not
have any effect. The only thing to do to get hold of the markets is
to get together and work together, and so far as I can hear that is
not being done at the present time in British Columbia. What you
need is more co-operation. It has been said that America is selling
us their lumber at a loss. It is the greatest nonsense to suggest such a
thing. Did you ever hear of an American doing that? They are mak-
ing a profit and the British Columbians could do the same thing.

“To get this business what is wanted is a trade representative in
centres that will be able to put the lumbermen of British Columbia in
touch with the firms in Australia and New Zealand engaged in the
business. I know for a fact that the Americans act on that principle
and they are getting 97 per cent. of the business. Year after year
British Columbia has been losing and unless you wake up you will lose
the other three per cent. that you now hold, but which you will not
hold very long the way things are going.”

Lumber Cost Accounting >

By William Brims, Vancouver, B.C.

In a factory where only one article is made, and that article in one
quality, the figuring of manufacturing costs is a comparatively simple
matter. On the other hand, in a plant that turns out several materials
of different qualities, going through various processes of manufacture,
the determining of the exact cost of each article in its different grades
requires a considerable amount of time and labor.

The business of lumber manufacturing must be grouped with the
latter class, for, while it is true that all lumber is produced from the
“same raw product, i.e., the log, the raw products differ in quality and
value, and the manufactured article varies to a much greater degree.

It is the allotment of the costs of manufacture to the several grades of
manufactured lumber that presents the greatest difficulty in compiling
a cost accounting system for a sawmill that operates its own dry-kilns
and planing mill.

The writer will endeavor in this article to explain briefly a system
of cost accounting similar to that adopted by Messrs. J. Hanbury &
Company, Ltd., of Vancouver. Mr. J. Hanbury, president of that pro-
gressive company, readily saw, after recently completing his up-to-
date plant, that it would be necessary to keep a close tab on the manu-
facing costs, in order to follow his policy of manufacturing lumber of
the highest quality and, at the same time, meet competition in prices.

The reader will observe, in looking over the forms shown here,
that to get over the difficulty of defining the actual cost of the different
classes and grades of lumber the cost has been based on the total saw-
mill cut, as compared with the total net average selling price of all
grades, and, further, that the cost of manufacture is figured on the
government log scale, with no allowance made for over-run. This was
done to give a conservative showing in costs and to make things
appear not too rosy. There is wisdom in this method, because should
the manufacturer base his costs on the sawmill tally of lumber sawn,
he is likely to overlook the waste in subsequent manufacturing and to
find a shortage in stock when the inventory is taken. Then, again,
when the log scale is used as a basis for computation, the over-run is

-always in reserve to provide for any unforseen expenses.

In going over the forms shown with this article we will assume
that they are to cover the first operating month of the fiscal year, and
that the log and lumber inventories have been taken and valued accur-
ately at the beginning of the year. As all operating expense is based
on the log cut, we shall begin by finding the quantity and value of the
logs sawn for the month.

The first thing is to take an inventory. of the logs on hand at the
end of the month. By using a little foresight in keeping as few as

found by deducting the number of feet in the “inventory at end
month” from the total marked “X” and, as the number of feet
cost of “logs sawn during month” added to “inventory at end
month” must equal the total “X,” the average cost per thousand
will be the same as shown for that total. The figures of the log inv
tory at the end of each month will, of course, be used as the invent
at the beginning of the following month. Having found the quanti
and value of the logs sawn during the month, we will turn to the c
of manufacture.

Several forms of general summary may be evolved from the infor-
mation now obtained, and Form No. 13 is a simple sample of this
form. It shows, in a concise manner, the average manufacturing costs
as set against the average selling prices. The difference between the
“net total average selling price” and the “total average cost of stock
on hand” tells, under the “margin per M feet on lumber sold,” the
profit or loss on each thousand feet sold during the month. Where a
tally of the sawmill actual cut is kept the percentage of over-run over
the log scale can be shown at the foot of this summary.

When shipments are comprised of shingles and lath, as well as of

-lumber of all grades, a careful distribution of sales must be made to

show the actual amount received at the mill for each of the articles
named, and, at the same time, to show the number of feet of clear,
common, and cull Jumber shipped. This distribution can be made
most easily from the invoices, and it should be kept up daily, so as not
to entail too much work at the end of the month. It will be found
necessary to keep a record of the grades of lumber sold, as the net
average selling price naturally depends greatly on the quality of the
products marketed. This average might mislead the manufacturer by
appearing satisfactory when, in reality, the shipments for the month
were of a higher grade than the stock on hand. The manufacturer
has to guard against pushing the sale of his uppers and allowing the
lower grades to accumulate, as when inventory time comes he is likely
to have a rude awakening to the fact that a large percentage of his
stock is composed of culls and other low-grade material.

Percy E. Heeney in Business for Himself

Percy E. Heeney, wholesale lumber dealer, Kitchener, Ont., who
started in business for himself in March of this year, is well known
to a great many lumbermen of Ontario on account of his long con-
nection with the business in its various branches. He was born in
the Gatineau district in 1882 and his father was one of the early
jobbers in that country for Gilmour and Hughson, Hull, P.Q. Mr.
Heeney has had experience in the shanties and sawmills for many
years. In his early days he drove the Kazabazua River for several
years. He has been more or less in the lumbering business since
boyhood, but his first definite connection with it in a business way
was with Geo. C. Goodfellow, of Montreal, in 1904. He lived in
Montreal for nine years, and then moved to Berlin, Ont. For six
months he travelled western Ontario and then he formed the Glen-
garry Lumber Ltd., of Berlin, in 1912, being vice-president and gen-
eral manager of the company until March of this year, when he
started in business for himself. Mr. Heeney deals principally in
American hardwoods, being the sole agent for D. E. Hewitt Lumber,
from Huntington, West Va. He also handles Canadian hardwoods,
B. C. shingles and fir. To a great extent he confines his business
to the furniture trade. Before leaving Montreal he ‘travelled mostly
in the eastern provinces, going as far as Prince Edward Island and
St. Johns, Nfld. At the first of next year he will be placing a man in
this territory.

Reports from Vancouver, B.C., state that all danger from forest
fires during the present year is now practically over, according to
advice received from district foresters. Of course, the situation will
depend entirely upon weather conditions, but with normal weather
the outlook is for no further fires this year.

The West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, of Seattle, is distribut-
ing a “Structural Timber Handbook” on Pacific Coast woods, the idea
being to supply architects and engineers with reliable information as
to safe loads, strength, etc., and at the same time present a lot of
interesting facts relating to the creosoting and kiln drying of lumber,
the merits of wooden silos and red cedar shingles, and other data
calculated to promote the use of wood in place of substitutes. The
Handbook was compiled by O. P. M. Goss, consulting engineer of
the geeceation. .

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND

Retail Costs— How Do Y ou Figure Them’

A Practical Outline of Methods That Have Been Used With Success—Elusive Profit
Chasing—How to Track It Down

The ways in which costs are checked up in connection with the
retail lumber business are so numerous and various that the task of
unifying them would be a big undertaking. There has already been
a good deal of study of the subject, however, especially among retail
associations and on the part of some of the larger, more progressive
yards, and much of the spade work has been finished. Many of the
elementary points of importance are covered in a summary of the
problem which we were fortunate enough to come across recently,
-and which we reproduce for the benefit of our retail readers, both

large and small. The subject of cost finding is discussed in fourteen
concise paragraphs, as follows :—

Ist. Charge interest on the net amount of your total investment
at the beginning of your business year, exclusive of all real estate.

2nd. Charge rental on all real estate or buildings owned by
you and used in your business at a rate equal to that which you would
receive if renting or leasing it to others.

3rd. Charge, in addition to what you would pay for hired help,
an amount equal to what your services would be worth to others,
also treat in like manner the services of any member of your family
employed in the business, but not on your regular pay-roll.

4th. Charge depreciation on all goods carried over, on which
you may have to make a less price because of change in style, dam-
age, or other cause.

5th. Charge depreciation on buildings, tools, fixtures, or any-
thing else suffering from age or wear and tear.

6th. Charge the amounts donated or subscriptions paid.

7th. Charge all fixed expense, such as taxes, insurance, water,
light, fuel, etc.

8th. Charge all incidental expense, such as drayage, postage,
office supplies, livery, or expense of horses or wagons, telegrams, and
*phones, advertising, canvassing, etc.

9th. Charge losses of every character, including goods stolen
or sent out and not charged, allowances made to customers, bad
debts, etc.

10th. Charge collection expense.

llth. Charge any expense not enumerated above.

12th. When you have ascertained what the sum of all the fore-
going items is, prove it by your books, and you will have your total
expense for the year, then divide this figure by the total of your sales,
and it will show the percent which it has cost you to do business.

13th. Take this percent and deduct it from the price of any article
you have sold, then subtract from the remainder what it cost you
(invoice price and freight) and the result will show your net profit
or loss on the article.

14th. Go over the selling prices of the various articles you
handle and see where you stand as to profits, and then get busy

in putting your selling figures on a profitable basis, and talk it over .

with your competitor, as well.

Cost of Doing Business—Figure it Out

An article cost $1.00 to manufacture. The expenses of selling
the article are 18 per cent. For what must it sell to make a net
profit of 10 per cent.?

Nine out of ten men can’t solve it. Can you?

Practically every business arithmetic on the market would give
$1.28, taking the first cost as the basis for estimating cost of sales
and profit.

Imagine our surprise upon being informed that the result is
$1.39, the author insisting that the expense of selling and the cost
should be quoted on the basis of the selling price.

Many failures in business are due to the practice of basing desired
profits on cost. Yet, many business men seem to have persistently
refused to acknowledge that any per cent. of a smaller sum is a
smaller percent of a larger sum; that if a fixed sum is a certain per-
cent of a certain sum, it is a smaller percent of a larger sum, or, to
put it correctly, that if 25 is 25 per cent. of 100, it is only 20 per cent.
of 125, and 25 per cent. increase over cost is 20 per cent. profit on the
selling price.

Applying the above example to the. retail lumber business:

Stock costing $20 per M. should be sold for $28 per M.
Stock costing $30 per M. should be sold for $42 per M.
Stock costing $40 per M. should be sold for $55 per M.

Government statistics for 1914 on 250,000 corporations through-
out the United States give the following information:

10,000 made more than $5,000 profit for the year.

190,000 made less than $5,000 profit for the year.

50,000 showed a loss.

Timber Trade of the Fiji Islands

_ A Comparatively Small Market, But One of Exceptional
Interest to B. C. Shippers

~The Fiji Islands afford a timber market depending exclusively,
n normal times, upon sailing vessels for transport. The market,
re, possesses for the owners of sailing vessels now building on
adian Pacific coast an interest disproportionate to its size,
H. R. MacMillan, in a special report to the Department of Trade
Commerce, published in the Weekly Bulletin.

The total importations of timber into the Fiji Islands during the
ar 1914 are even: in the following tabtilar statement :

' Quantity,
~ Commodity. Feet, B.M. Value.
mult case shooks ........... Ae 4,730,623 £10,598
0 NES 3,750,360 27,145

SUMEIEGOOTS cic cee ee ee es tence 1,385

‘he islands produce no quantity of timber suitable either for gen-
eral building Purposes or for shooks for the important fruit exports.

Douglas fir is the universal building material. There being no
sawmills, all timber is imported in the sizes in which it is to be used.
wt he trade of the islands is in the hands of two importing companies,
who erty. stocks at the principal ports—Levuka and Suva. Sailing
_yessels only are suitable for the trade. Vessels carrying 600,000 to
1,200,000 feet are preferred.
-_ _The long use of Douglas fir under tropical conditions in the Fiji
lands affords a valuable illustration of the suitability of the timber
r service in the tropics. Buildings built thirty years ago with Doug-
s fir flooring, studding, and siding are still standing sonud in Suva.
“White ants are present everywhere, though not so voracious as
arts of India, Africa, and Australia. Douglas fir is regarded in
va as ant resistant. Where New Zealand kauri and Douglas fir
placed side by side as studding several years ago the kauri has
eaten out by white ants and the Douglas fir remains sound.

he only railways existing in the islands are those operated by
e su ‘ar companies, some of which reach a length of sixty miles. Up

! present the sleepers have been of Australian ironbark. ‘The
rice and growing scarcity of this timber renders possible com-
on by creosoted Douglas fir in times of normal freight rates.

2 a large share of the trade.

The > most important section of the timber trade in Fiji is the
ying of fruit cases. No woods suitable for fruit cases have been
on the islands. The Australian woods are unsuitable. The
woods have established over the New Zealand shooks a
y in price, delivery, and sustained quality. So long as it is
to make regular monthly deliveries by the Canadian-Aus-
1e or periodic deliveries by schooner sailings with lumber
anadian exporters will command this increasing trade.

being flooring, drop siding, ceiling, and partition stock. The interior
finish used is wholly Douglas fir, chiefly in Pacific Coast standard
sizes of beaded and V-jointed ceiling and partition stock. Practically
no panelling is used. The market for wide panelling or three-ply for
interior trim is capable of only very slight development. Douglas fir
shelving is used to a limited extent for shelving in competition with
New Zealand kauri. For this purpose wide clears are imported.

{n a trip extending through several European countries, Africa,
India, and Australia, the Fiji Islands were the only point visited where
Douglas fir flooring was in use as a staple article. That Douglas fir
flooring should be in almost as universal use in tropical Fiji as in
British Columbia is an indication that an active policy of market
development would greatly extend its use in other southern and east-
ern countries in competition with the Scandinavian flooring now used
or the tropical hardwoods likely to be developed in the next decade or
two.

The specifications for Fiji cargoes usually provide that each ship-
ment is approximately half rough and half dressed lumber.

Canada at present supplies less than one-quarter of Fiji’s imports
of dressed lumber and only one-third of Fiji’s imports of dressed Douy-
las fir.

Fiji is dependent entirely on outside sources for doors and sash.
New Zealand and Australia have up to the present done the whole of
the trade.

The manufacture of doors is at least three times as costly both in
New Zealand and Australia as it is in Canada. Australia, in particular,
is dependent upon imported timber for doors and sash. This is to an
important degree true also of New Zealand. The fact that Canadian
manufacturers have been able to build up an important market in New
Zealand itself and that where quality is considered, as well as price,
Canadian doors can be sold in Australia, makes it certain that Cana-
dian door exporters may, if they desire, secure the whole of the Fiji
trade. The regular sailings of the mail line from British Columbia
ports to Suva afford Canadians an opportunity for dominating the
door trade as they already have the shook trade.

The names of the chief importers of doors may be obtained from
the Department of Trade and Commerce.

The use of fir doors may be expected to develop a small demand
for fir, three-ply, for interior finish.

In all foreign markets visited the use of fir doors has hech the
chief agent in introducing a further use of fir in panels or three-ply
wainscotting and accompanying interior finish.

Canadian exporters may secure the whole of the Fiji trade if they
desire it at the governing prices. The names of importers desirous of
receiving Canadian quotations when they are next in the market may
be secured from the Commercial Intelligence Branch of the Depart-
ment of Trade and Commerce; Ottawa.

The Iiji trade is important to British Columbia shipping interests
in that it is entirely dependent, even in normal times, upon sailing
vessel shipments. ‘The size of the market and the limited discharging
facilities render impossible the acceptance of steamer cargoes. Con-
ditions in J*iji may further be taken as indicative of the remainder of
the South Sea Island trade, amounting normally to 10,000,000 feet
annually. This trade has in the past gone almost wholly to United
States ports, and has furnished eight to ten sailings yearly for Ameri-
can schooners, most of which receive return cargoes.

The South Sea Islands may not be regarded at the present time
as a market worthy the attention of Canadian exports. They consti-
tute, however, over 10 per cent. of the market open to lumber-carrying
schooners during periods of normal freight rates. Connections formed
in these islands now, by the managing agents of the schooners build-
ing in Canadian ports, will prove valuable when the tramp steamer
again enters the Australian timber carrying trade.

There is no preferential tariff in Fiji for British products. The
general tariff on timber products is as follows:
Timber cut for cases, not exceeding 3 feet in length ..... 12%
Customs tariff,
per cent.
Class of timber. ad valorem.

Representatives of American lumber interests, aided by the

United States Government, laid plans, at a conference at Chicago
recently, for sending expert business promoters to Europe to obtain
a share of the business of reconstruction after the war. The confer-
ence was called by Dr. E. E. Pratt, chief of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. Agents for the lumbermen will leave for
Europe, probably in November, accompanied by Government experts,
to study trade conditions.

Early Days Among Loggers

Reminiscences of a Pioneer Recalling Stirring
Events of Three Score Years

Life along the St. John River during my early boyhood was full
of activity ; and in the forest or on the farm every moment of the day,
from dawn until twilight, was given up to labor. The period was one
of abounding prosperity. The demand for timber from abroad, especi-
ally for masts and spars, was apparently unlimited and as the forests
were cleared away the fertile soil, especially in the intervals, yielded
rich harvests. These opportunities were the goal for an unending
stream of immigrants principally from Ireland and Scotland.

The St. John River, the broad thoroughfare to the sea, was a
constantly shifting panorama of the industries which prevailed along
its banks, from the wilderness above to the city at its mouth where
the tide rolls in with resistless energy from the Bay of Fundy. At
Hartland and Spring Hill I saw, as a child, the products of the forest
go by in an endless stream of rafts, the towboats laden with supplies
for the farms, the canoes of the Indians and white men, the pirogues
of the Acadians carrying to market the woolen garments made from
their own flocks of sheep, and maple sugar obtained in the woods.
Even at night it was not still. Through the darkness flared the flam-
beaux of the fishermen, the lure of the salmon of which its waters
yielded rich harvest.

The lands bordering upon the river from the mouth to Grand
Falls, over which I have seen huge logs plunge like ships in a tor-
rent, were considered from the point of view of the time a well
settled area. Villages and small settlements were numerous and at
intervals between them were small water-mills, taverns and stores
at which the farmers obtained their supplies. In addition to the com-
mon occupations, farming and lumbering, vessel-building had become
a well established industry. It was carried on at Hartland, Squire
Nevers’ place and at Taylor town and Sheffield—the one above, the
other below, Maugerville. It is recorded that Benedict Arnold, who
took refuge in the province and lived for a time at St. John, came
into possession by not altogether honorable means of the Lord Shef-
field, the first ship built on the river. As far back as 1800, sixty-seven
ships were launched on the St. John; and at one time during that
period two hundred square rigged vessels lay in St. John harbor await-
ing cargoes.

For those who were old enough Jife meant, at this time, little
more than hard work. My father gave his attention to the farm
during the summer time. In the winter and spring he was away in
the woods, lumbering or logging. This routine was followed by
most of the men on the upper St. John; and not a few of them, when
the long day was over, came home to thresh grain and attend to the

The most important historical event of which I have a clear
recollection was the controversy in 1839 over the boundary between
Maine and New Brunswick, sometimes called the Aroostook War. In
the diminishing perspective of three-quarters of a century this inci-
dent appears to have been of little consequence, but in the environ-
ment in which I lived it loomed large in its proportions and to the
people of the province it was a matter of grave portent.

The region involved in the controversy was that in which my
father lumbered and was generally known as Madawaska, the territory
originally occupied by the Acadians when they were transferred from
their earlier settlements along the St. John.

Under the shadow of war in 1839 lumbering operations in Aroos-
took County and along the upper St. John generally ceased. On
March Ist eight hundred fusiliers arrived in St. John from Cork and
five hundred British regulars were sent to Madawaska. The farmers
and lumbermen of the vicinity under British jurisdiction were pressed
into service to haul soldiers to Quebec where the garrison was being
strengthened; and on both sides of the boundary the militia was
held in readiness for war, trains of sleighs laden with soldiers and
munitions stretching along the roads through the forests.

Fortunately, the war over the boundary was averted largely
through the efforts of Sir John Harvey, Governor of New Brunswick,
and General Winfield Scott.

At this time the dominating industry along the St. John River
which overshadowed every other activity was lumbering. It was to
the forests that the province owed in greatest measure its prosperity
and its rapid development. From the very outset of its history they
attracted the attention of explorers. French and English navigators
skirting the shores of the St. John River observed that the trees were

of a size far greater than those yielded by the forests of the old world

parable for masts and spars. Nowhere else, it was thought, could such
timber be obtained, and the constantly increasing size of sailing ves:
sels demanded loftier masts for their equipment. %

When the English dominion was extended into Canada, after th
battle of Quebec, the English Government itself adopted a plan p: €
hibiting the cutting of pine trees within three miles of the shores ¢
the St. John River. Later surveyors of the Crown were sent into th
woods to select trees suitable for masts, which they marked
broad arrows. Afterward this plan was abandoned and a law
passed allowing a bounty for trees beyond a certain size. This,
believe, is still in effect, although it is no longer observed. - a

Commencement of the Mast Industry

Immediately after the Revolution, when the supply from —
colonies was cut off, the British Government entered into co:
with New Brunswick lumbermen to provide masts for the
Navy, and two or three firms took up the work. The arrival
first cargo at Halifax on the way to England in a navy
was considered of such importance that it was announced to
British Secretary of State by the Lieutenant-Governor.

The rivalry to obtain suitable trees was keen among these
operators. The importance which the industry assumed may
gathered from the Francklin, Hazen and White correspondence,
cording to which success was measured in terms of the number
size of logs obtained. “I take this opportunity,” Peabody, one o
agents wrote to his firm in 1782, “of acquainting you that I have

Saw the Forests Melt Away 9

To digress for a moment; I doubt whether anyone ha.
realization than I of the extent to which the timber resour¢
United States are being exhausted. When I was a boy the thousar
of rafts floated down the St. John River gave evidence of the wez
of the forests that were falling before the axe of the colonist an
lumberman. Later, when I went to Maine with my father, the
reaches of the Penobscot poured a constant stream of logs dc
the busy mills between Oldtown and Bangor. What the great s
of continent to the westward was to yield in the way of timber
as yet a closed book, some of the pages of which I myself turned
day to day in the way of work and experience. It fell to my le
some measure to blaze a way through some of the most extensive

tributed more than can be easily estimated to its upbuilding. __

are not imposed upon the activities of the lumbermen. What

The Use of Wire Rope

‘ire ropes are in such general use among the sawmills for log-
log handling that some technical knowledge in the selection
re of ropes should be of interest and advantage, so there are
here some features pertaining to rope handling, that were
ped recently at a mining institute under the subject of the care
I rope.

rst essential seetns to be that of selecting a rope of the right
iy for the work in hand. If a rope is too large it is not only
he to handle but the bending strain is increased, and in the
user pays more for rope than if he had bought smaller rope.
idea is to secure rope of just the size needed for the work to
, making the proper allowance for safety.

ually in wire rope calculations the allowance for safety is a
r of 5 to 7. This means that the breaking strain of a rope of a
should be divided by the factor of 5 or 7 and the answer
largest load it should handle. Or, taking it another way,
he largest load that should be handled, multiply this by the
f 5.or 7 and you have the tensile strength necessary in your
id this, in turn, will furnish a gauge to the size of rope that

ficeu. >.

tensile strength of wire ropes range from a minimum of
ands per square inch of cross section for iron to approxi-
00 pounds per inch for the better quality of steel ropes.
means that with an iron rope of one-inch cross section the
ad handled should not exceed 12,000 pounds, using the factor
reas if it were a good steel rope one inch of cross section,
e factor of 5, would be good for handling a load of 55,000

Qa.

When one buys a size or a grade of rope that will not insure a
: factor of safety, the result is a continual over-straining of the
and eventually it will give way under some sudden load, and, if
other damage, it will mean providing a new rope in so much
e that it would have been better to have provided the right
of a rope in the beginning, either one of larger size or of a higher
y of material, so as to insure the proper factor of safety. Besides
ere is the element of danger attached to breaking ropes.
majority of wire ropes are made with a fibrous centre usually
ap, though a number of different fibrous materials are used
‘arious manufacturers. There are some cases where ropes are
heat and soft iron centres are substitutes for the hemp and,
ecasions, steel centres are used. The general run of rope,
, for outside operations are with hemp centres, around which
the lays of the rope. What is means by the lay of the rope
ance in length for each complete revolution or twist of a
* usual length of a lay is seven times the diameter of the
in the case of a rope one inch in diameter would be 7
from the exact top centre of one twist to the next. To vary
orten the length of the lay adds flexibility to the rope, while
the lay increases the stiffness of the rope. In other words,
h comparatively short twists in it is more flexible than one
twists.
‘pointed out that the three desirable factors in a wire rope
sngth, toughiiess, and flexibility. There must be strength
‘to sustain the load with a reasonable factor of safety, which
as from 5 to 7, it must have enough flexibility to minimize
g stress, and finally the wires must be of such a size as to
a reasonable reduction in size through abrasion, and they
ugh to resist the tendency to crystallization and become
from bending and from rapid operations. Sometimes it is found
ne factor here can be increased materially without detracting
other. For example, to get toughness and freedom from
ization often calls for softer metal, which, in turn, will wear
from abrasion. So a sort of happy medium must be arrived
a consideration of the service to be given, and the needs to
> long life and safety in a rope for this service. For example, a
hat is subject to unusual abrasive wear may well be made a
irder, and some sacrifice must be made of the toughening quali-
*t resistance to abrasion. All these things, however, must be
ughtfully and by men who understand thoroughly what

se of rope too small is bad practice and dangerous
d not, for this reason, go to the other extreme and

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 33

use rope too large, because a rope too large is stiffer, using up unneces-
sary power in bending, and it is heavy to handle. The right idea is to
get specific data on the tensile strength of the rope to be used. Then
taken into consideration the largest load likely to be handled and thé
average load handled regularly, and from this figure out the exact
size that will give the required factor of safety.

In using rope one should guard against what is termed over-wind-
ing on the drum. To wind one layer of rope over another on a drum
increases the wear on the rope, especially if it is allowed to wind and
overwind unevenly. Also it is likely to jam and mesh, and, wherever
practical, one should avoid overwinding. Also the guiding sheive
should be set far enough from the drum that there may not be short
angles. This makes the load easier and saves bending strain.

Proper lubrication is another item of importance. This is import-
ant not only in determining, or rather regulating, the wear of the rope,
but in protecting it from what might be termed interior decay. A’ wire
rope must be lubricated for this purpose, because, in winding around
the drum and running over sheives, the rope bends and the strands
and wires move on each other, and they must be kept lubricated to
prevent excessive wear. Also lubrication serves to prevent corrosion.

Generally when wire ropes are made they are thoroughly lubri-
cated through and through, and it is important for the user of the rope
to keep up the good work by supplying lubrication from time to time
as it is needed.

The question of the best lubricant for a rope is the subject of just
as much discussion as the best lubricant for machinery bearings.
There are many different ideas and opinions, but when they are all
summed up, what they amount to is that a lubricant should have fric-
tion-reducing qualities and staying qualities—that is, it should have
the quality of adhering to the metal and staying on the job. About
the best way to determine the right lubricant to use here is the same
as in the case of machinery. Try a few of those offered, study the
claims made for them, and watch the results. In time you will not
only come to understand fairly well what lubricant to use, but also
how often and in what manner to apply it. 3

Careful attention to lubrication will do much to lengthen the life
of a wire rope and to insure good, satisfactory service from it.

A Pacific Coast Lumber Company’s Y. M.C. A. Car

The dedication of a car for the Industrial branch of the Y.M.C.A.,
to be used both for the mill town and the logging camps of a Pacific-
Coast lumber company took place recently. The car is constructed
upon a set of standard trucks and is 60 feet in length and 14 feet wide,
giving ample facilities for general games and lounge room, reading and

‘writing room, also office and bedroom for the local secretary. The

plan herewith shown gives a clear idea of the furnishing and equip-

innovation prove a success, a permanent Y.M.C.A. may be built at
the mill town, and the car utilized entirely by the logging camps.
The Y. M. C. A. work in logging camps is divided into three
main units; physical, educational and moral. The physical work em-
braces boxing and punching the bag, fencing, contests of all kinds,
log rolling, games, etc. The educational work embraces general ed-
ucational talks, literature, magazines and a circulating library. The
moral and religious work consists of personal influences of the secre-
tary on the men and the holding of religious meetings every Sunday
night. Memiorial services are held in case of death occurring in a camp.
These industrial branches are possible under the following con-
ditions. The employer agrees to build-the car and pay the salary

of the secretary on one hand, and the employees agree to raise the
money to furnish and equip the interior and its maintenance.

Membership costs $1 for three months, or $3 per annum, holders

Bad Accounts a Drag Upon Business

A Rational Plan for Extending Credit Based on Co-operation Among Dealers
the Only Feasible Protection Against Loss
By G. W. Bulmer

Credits and terms of sale seem to me to be two of the big problems
the retail lumberman has to solve. The weak spot in the operation of
the average retail lumber business is found in the way we promiscu-
ously extend credit to Tom, Dick, and Harry without definitely know-
ing whether they are really safe gentlemen to extend this credit to.
And we send wagon after wagon load of what we believe to be the
finest lumber that ever happened, and which cost lots of real money,
to Tom, Dick, and Harry, their uncles and their aunts, their sisters
and brothers, without saying a word about when, how, or where it is
to be paid for.

I’ll bet a dollar to a doughnut there is hardly a retail lumberman
that has not noticed with horror that the accounts decorating his
ledger on August 1 amount to more in dollars and cents than his total
sales from inventory since the first of the year. That’s pretty nearly a
fact, is it not? We will all hurry home to get our share of the fine
business that’s coming up, but will find that we haven’t as much time
to devote to it as we would like to have because we must get out and
hustle for our share of the crop money before it is all gone. And, even
after hustling like candidates for office from September to lebruary,
and smoking out everything that. looked like a loose dollar, we find
that 40 per cent. of our previous year’s sales are still on the books, and
we figure we have fought a good fight, but have been whipped to a
frazzle once more. So, in admiration, we take off our hats to the
butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker because they had been
wise enough to find out if good old Uncle Tom had the wherewithal
to pay——and, if he hadn’t, promptly told him that there’d be nothing
doing in the way of credit unless he put up security. So the country
clerk was as busy as a nailer recording securities in favor of those wise
guys, and the lumberman had the pleasure of watching them carry off
not only the cream, but the smear case as well, and the lumberman
humbly sneaked off with the whey.

Now, gentlemen, I’m not going to take up your time talking about
how much this grey-whiskered, bald-headed custom in the lumber
business costs us, but, believe me, the accounts we wipe off the slate,
the cost of collection, the legal fuss, the tieing up of capital that we
need so badly in our business, the weeping and wailing and gnashing
of teeth, the stenographers we employ, the stamps and stationery we
waste, the salaries of collectors and special help, the oceans of gasoline
we burn in our little old cars amount to a pretty penny at the end of
the year, and gather unto their vampire bosoms a chunk of the gross
profits of our business that would prove astounding.

Here’s another way it works out: A business that nets you $1,500
at the end of the year returns 15 per cent. net on an investment of
$10,000, which on analysis, shows that $6,000 is in stock and plant and
$4,000 in accounts. So you smile a smile like a slice out of a water-
melon and next year you get $1,500 out of that same little old business
again. But behold! when you figure up your profit on your invest-
ment you find that you have only made 8 per cent. out of the same
business, and the whole thing comes out in the wash when you find
that whereas you still have $6,000 in plant and stock, your outstand-
ing accounts have jumped up to $12,000 on a total investment of
$18,000. Your smile fades away into a scowl when you realize that
your business is no longer a profitable one, and you wonder if you’re
not getting old, and consider selling the darned old business, lock,
stock, and barrel, and putting your money out at 8 per cent. on gilt-
edged security. And I’ll bet you’d do it mighty quick, too, if it wasn’t
for the fact that half of your operating capital was borrowed. But
that’s another story, too, if you tumble to the fact that your borrowed
capital costs you 9 per cent., and the best you were able to make it
earn was 8 per cent., or a net loss of 1 per cent. in the shuffle.

I want to say this—and I want to say it as loudly as I can—and
I believe every man here will chime in “Ab-so-lute-ly!” when I say
that it’s time the retail lumber dealers adopted, first, some kind of a
system for the intelligent extension of credits, and, second, certain
definite terms upon which our merchandise shall be sold, and sold on
those terms only.

Credit Rating Reports Formulated.

A year ago our company formulated what we call a credit rating
report. One side of this report blank bears the form of a very com-
plete property statement; the other side is a blank form, wherein the
name and address of the person reported upon is inserted, as well as
general information bearing upon his credit standing. Below is a
blank space, on one side of which are listed all instruments and judg-
ments recorded against him, and on the other side are listed all
releases» This information is secured from bulletins published by the
abstractors in business at the various county seats, and the service

September 15, 1916 _

costs $15 a year in advance or $24 a year on time. Even the abstractor
you see, knows the value of cash on the counter.

We don’t wait for trouble to happen, but as soon as a new | nat

comes into a community we put his name down on one of the
reports, as well as the information we can get, and then watch the bu
letins. He may be doing business with the lumber company do:
the street, and we don’t know much about him except in a gener
way ; but when finally he comes in to buy a granary bill on credit at
we turn to our book for a look and find his homestead mortgagec
$1,200, including an interest mortgage for $120 and a chattel mo
on everything he has under the sun, including his two old nags,
and Jerry, hitched to the wagon with which he hopes to haul out
lumber, we can turn him down without batting an eye. We don’t
go to the trouble of having him sign the property statement un
we're curious to know if Ananias is really a back number when
comes to fancy fabrication. Our general report tells the story,
ie nino! use the property statement anyway except when we're
oubt. ; a

__ A year ago we were struck with the brilliant idea that we'd es
lish definite terms of sale and stick to them. All bills were to be
ured in our “Estimate Book.” If the estimate was sold and cash
on the nail, our proposition was to allow 5 per cent. discount from
retail price. If the customer bought on credit we proposed that
immediately sign a note, rate of interest 10 per cent.—no interest to be
charged for the first sixty days if paid when due. We figured to file a
lien or demand other security for all notes where there was the least
doubt about the customer’s ability to pay. Do you think we could
it over? Not on your life. If we had adhered to our policy the tum
weeds would now be growing a mighty forest in the alleys of the 1
ber yards. So, instead of putting into effect a plan that we felt su
would minimize our troubles, we went back to the old way of getti
the purchaser to sign a contract properly, setting forth the terms
sale and taking notes for credit sales where we could get away with i
—-and instead of having what we hoped to have to-day—90 per cent. of
our accounts in the form of notes all bearing interest—we have a
scant 50 per cent., and no hope for the future. ae

Your book accounts are smashing, telling blows on the solar
plexus of your business. How long will the business stand it? Your
customers are complaining, too, of high prices, yet your profit is only —
a very common, every-day profit, indeed. The burden of accounts
your business is carrying is almost entirely responsible for this condi-
tion. :

One man or one firm cannot remedy the situation—cannot estab-
lish definite terms of sale—but if the lumber dealers of a district would ©
put in effect some rational plan for extending credit I feel that it would
be a huge success. As I see it, it is a cinch that something of this kind
must be done, because if you continue to load down your business —
with the handicap of the careless, inefficient methods of yesterday and —
enter in the race with the keener competition of to-day, something is —
going to happen, sure’s you’re born. ; j ;

Let us figure out some system for the intelligent distribution of
credits. Allow the cash customer the discount he’s entitled to; get a
note from the customer at the time of sale, with proper security where —
necessary ; then let us put the plan into permanent and absolute effect,
and I’ll promise you that you’ll grow fatter and sleep easier in the
days to come and you'll find fewer grey hairs in your head and more —
profits in the bank when you size up your business at the end of the
year.

A Unique Logging Railroad Bridge

ee f By Samuel A. Stamm*

Hamilton Creek Logging Company, Hamilton, Wash., is con-
structing the Lyman Pass R. R. This road will have no adverse grade
and a maximum of 3.75 per cent. grade in favor of the load. In cross-
‘ing Red Cabin creek a gap 132 feet deep by 600 feet in length was
encountered. In spanning this a unique bridging structure was
evolved.

_ The bridge is of the single storey bent type; 132 feet in height
from the water level to the top of the rail, and 600 feet long. The
construction material consisted of fir poles in various lengths, from
to 130 feet with 14 inch tops, which were brought in from the
camps. The mud sills varying from 30 to 70 feet were obtained on
the ground. The caps 16 in. x 16 in. x 16 ft. long and 3 in. x 12 in.
bracing material were mill sawed timber. The stringers, hewn with
6 inch face and 16 inch depth by 42 feet long were imported from
camp.

. Fe ence of construction and the details thereof are worthy of
‘mention and will be outlined in the order in which they were encoun-
‘tered in Constructing the bridge. The mud sills are spaced 20 feet
tre to centre. The notches for the plumb and batter posts are 24
es wide and cut to the same level; the ones for the plumb post
being spaced 4 feet 8 inches centre to centre, those for the batter posts
are spaced as figured on the basis of 2 feet centre to centre from the
‘plumb to the batter post on top and a 2-inch per foot batter. The
heel daps were cut on a line at right angles to the centre line of the
bridge, thus aiding the framing and squaring of the bents. Twenty-

- one bents were framed, squared and braced on the ground. The
poles were carried out to the proper bent on the sky line by one
donkey and hauled side wise to place by another donkey; the butt of
the post being placed in the heel dap, the tops spaced 4 feet 8 inches
~ centre to centre of the plumb posts and 2 feet centre to centre from
the plumb post to the batter post; the cap was then made fast to each
post with a 34 in. x 26 in. drift bolt. The top of this skeleton bent
‘was shifted so that the centre of the cap coincided with the centre
line of the bridge ; thus squaring it on the ground, where it was braced
on one side, thereby insuring a uniform turning of the posts on their
_ respective heels while they were being raised. Also that they would
stand square and firm after being raised. Those bents farthest from
the donkey were put together, squared and framed first; each suc-
ceeding one was laid, tier on tier, on the previous one. The bracing
material for the other side of each bent was sorted, as per following
list, and placed off to one side of the mud sill of the bent on which it

as to be used. Longitudinal bracing poles were also distributed
so as to do away with hauling after starting to raise the bents.

Logging Railroad Bridge Across 600 ft. Gap, 132 ft. Deep

The first eight bents were put together in the air, each post being
cut to length and placed in a semi-vertical position, i.e., the butt in
the notch on the mud sill and the top leaning against a false cap
swung from the cap of the last bent constructed. The proper spacing
of the posts being observed the cap was made fast and the offside
bracing put on. The bent was then tilted forward to its final vertical
position, made fast by two planks on top, afterward braced on the
other side and made fast to the bents previously erected with 5-inch
top hemlock poles 45 feet long. After the eight bents were raised in
this manner, a loading donkey on a 54-foot sled was hauled out onto
the structure so that the front end of the sled overhung the last bent
about 15 feet. Its sole office there being to haul bracing material up
to the workmen as it was required to be put on the bents.

The remaining twenty-one bents were raised by the donkey on the
bank with the assistance of a block and one-half purchase, in the ver-
tical to the sky line. This, however, proved to be a hinderance in
view. of the fact that it brought the bent up by jerks and put a heavy
bight in the sky line which threw an excessive strain into the top of
the bent with a tendency toward breaking the top off. This was all
overcome by using a double block purchase in the horizontal, i.e., two
single blocks with crotch lines on the bent, a tail hold to a stump on
the bank and a block lying on top of the cap of the last bent raised,
which block was anchored by a 1% inch cable to the donkey on the
bank. This method brought the bent up very steadily so that there
was no danger of jarring the posts off of their respective footings. °
The haulback was used to snub the bent from going beyond the ver-
tical. After testing the bent for plumb it was made fast with two
planks on top, then the sway and longitudinal was placed. The bent
having been completed the donkey on the bridge was moved ahead to
go through the same process as before.

Having raised and braced all bents thoroughly, the stringers were
hauled out on the bridge and spotted in place. The ends having been
trimmed off and the joints broken on alternate bents, they were drift
bolted to the caps. Bridge ties 6 in. x 8 in., 12 feet long, surfaced
two sides were spaced 18 inches centre to centre.

The consensus of opinion now is that the building of the bridge
could have been facilitated by raising the individual poles on their
proper footings, permitting the tops to lean back against a false

Newspapers recently received from Christiania, Norway, contain
reports of the preparation of plans for establishing a large paper mill
in Brazil, to be financed by Norwegian interests. The Oversea Com-
pany and the Young Company, of Christiania, are taking the lead in
the formation of the new concern, with a minimum capital of 1,250,000
kroner. They will erect a mill at Pernambuco. Shares in the com-
pany will be valued at 1,000 kroner each. The output will be one-half
kraft paper and one-half manilla paper.

The 238th Forestry Battalion, which has been raised by Lieut.-
Col. W. R. Smyth for work in the forests of Great Britain, and pos-
sibly also on the Continent, left recently for Halifax, where they will
spend some time in training before embarking for England. The
regiment, which was recruited in a very short period, is something
like 200 men over strength. A base company will be left over to join
the 242nd Forestry Battalion, now under formation by Lieut.-Col.
J. B. White, with headquarters at Montreal.

Dealer’s Interest in Proper Painting

By R. H. Brooks

As a prologue to the subject of painting it appears pertinent to
bring out one or two phases in the prosecution of the retailer’s daily
business that are closely related to the point at issue and yet which
may have been overlooked by some of you. Therefore, this question:

Next to yourself, your family and your employees, what persons
are most concerned in your lumber yard and the fact that you are
a lumberman? Perhaps your answer is already on your tongue. In
the majority of cases it is your creditors, the tax assessor and your
immediate neighbor, who grows nervous when there is a high wind
at night which blows from your directions

Have You Done Your Part?

Have you, as a merchant, with a useful commodity to sell, done
your part in helping your customer by selling him the wood best
adapted to certain purposes, and have you kept faith with him in
advising and counselling him in the uses of such wood? If you have,
then each man or woman so treated is also interested-in your busi-
ness in more than an impersonal way, because you have done that
vital thing which lifts you out of the storekeeper class and on to the
higher plane where are found the successful merchants of this coun-
try, namely, to a place among those who render merchandising ser-
vice. Did you ever stop to consider that service is the greatest profit
getter known in business and that the more persons to whom real
service is rendered the greater the returns? “Service” is a thread-
bare over-worked and much abused word, but it embodies in its
widest sense every factor in commerce which makes for success.
In your case it means that you tee your ball on reliable lumber; that
you drive with honest sales arguments and that you follow through
with your personal interest in seeing that each wood is used where
the Lord meant it to be used and where you, as a God-fearing lumber-
man know it should be used.

Value of Enthusiasm

“Familiarity breeds contempt, but respect begets admiration.”
Do not get over familiar with the woods you handle, but rather re-
spect them, study them, know them, and then you can admire them.
Once you admire them you become enthusiastic. Following enthusi-
asm comes a desire to tell the other fellow what a fine thing such
and such a wood is, and right away you have your man more inter-
ested in what the wood you are boosting will do than in what it costs.
By boosting I do not mean merely superficial talk, but rather the
expressing of a deeply founded, sincere admiration for the product.

I can perhaps best convey to you the attitude of the average re-
tail lumberman towards his stock by relating as an instance a thing
which we experienced during our exhibit at the Complete Building
Show held at Cleveland. While that show was in session the Ohio
retail Jumbermen held their annual convention there. Of course, many
of them visited the building show. Those lumbermen wore little rib-
bons which told who they were. Our exhibit was clearly identified
by easily read signs. Some of those lumbermen stepped in for an
inspection, but over forty, whom | personally saw, passed it by with
only a look at the sign. I was not offended, nor did I feel slighted,
but it stirred me to the core to realize that so many men of my busi-
ness fraternity, every one of them selling our wood, unconsciously re-
garded themselves as so familiar with Arkansas soft pine that they
could not learn anything new. Yet in that exhibit was information
and display material which would have given each of those dealers
some new idea and most helpful, valuable advice which it would
have profited them to know. Merely emphasizing that familiarity
breeds contempt. In passing just grasp this, that while those lumber-
men passed by on the other side 122,000 consumers visited that show
and a very comfortable percentage of them stopped at ours and other
lumber exhibits and asked questions, rubbed their hands on the woods,
requested literature, information, painting formulas and facts, which
they took home and digested, and, as sure as we are here, a lot of
them know more right now about the physical make-up and finishing
possibilities of the wood which they saw than do those dealers who
will eventually sell them, but who unfortunately think there is no-
thing new under the sun regarding their own merchandise.

Right Wood for Right Use

Your part begins before it is time to paint. First, sell the pro-
per wood for the right use, either outside or in; then, instead of losing
interest beyond the sale, follow through the point of instructing your
customer in the proper painting or finishing formula. Some of you
may be saying that you cannot do this because you do not know
how. Our'answer is, if you cannot that is your own fault, for several
lumber associations will give you the information by any return mail.
The paint manufacturers themselves will do the same thing.

Incident of Cleveland Show
Speaking of painting, during the Cleveland show a woman and
a

her husband were attracted to our exhibit by a frame of fini
specimens, one of which was done in white enamel. She exclai
“Isn’t that a beautiful finish!” but a second later caught sight of tl
word “Pine” at the top of the frame. “What!” said she, on pine?
Why, I have put nine coats of white enamel on my woodwork an
it looks worse than ever.” T asked her if it was “Georgia pine,” an
she said, “Yes,” but before I could tell her the difference between th:
pine which she knew as Georgia pine and the pine of our state st
flounced out. of the booth with a final “Never again!” The whe
trouble with that good woman was that an indifferent lumberm
sold her long-leaf yellow pine for white enamel treatment, when
the general scheme of creation it was never intended for any st
purpose. Long leaf, as we all know, has its rightful use, but—
very qualities which make it desirable for those uses, namely, we
and heavy resinous content, likewise render it less desirable for «
tain other uses, among which is as a base for white enamel.
applied treatment can prevent the pitch from discoloring the ¥
enamel from underneath, and as this fact has been demonstrated t
without number the dealer who continues to sell it for this use ¢
mits an offense against his customer and his business and inju
cause of wood finish as a whole. Incidentally, we found out

it certainly did go that time. It went so far with that womar

Every Wood Has Its Rightful Place

Ivery wood has its rightful place and proper use, and as.
are treated in one form or another with some form of appl
shellac, stain, varnish or enamel, there is a proper formula
You as a lumberman should know those formulas or
tions so that you might not only protect the woods which
against improper treatment, but, in addition, to naturally
upon the mind of your customer the fact that you are an
on building, from the foundation to the painting and decor
In this connection may I quote from one of the ready-cut hous
pany catalogues just from the press: “We have a long-term co:
with the best known and perhaps the largest paint makers in A
to supply us with a special extra grade of pure white lead a
oil paint. Needless to say, we include paint as an economy and
venience to customers. Sufficient paint is furnished for two
outside and inside. You will also receive full quantity of stain
varnish—or paint, oil and varnish for interior use—and shellac 2
putty. Send for our big color card and select the colors you cho
for body, trim, porch, floor, ete.” <n elma Oem

Now that isn’t a formula or specification, of course, yet it is
service in that it submits suggestions and ideas and, as a matter
fact, the so-called “best known” paint manufacturer probably s
along a set of painting instructions for which the house-builc
people get the credit, which is merely another instance to indic
the point. : eet em

No commodity is adapted to any purpose unless it fulfills”
purpose satisfactorily. If you, as a lumberman, neglect to see that
the woods you sell are rightfully used and painted, you invite a booi
erang against the profit side of your ledger. Certain pines requir
shellac or filler before stains or enamels are applied, while oth
species should be stained or treated with white lead first. How
of you know which specification applies to which wood and have t
your customer sof You may put your head in the sand and say
yourself that the supplying of such information is outside your
but if that be your attitude your more enterprising competitor
ask no more desirable competition. ie

So far as. painting in general is concerned, each wood rec
individual treatment, and it therefore behooves you to become p
experts as well as lumbermen, in order that you may render t
of service we have mentioned. More good lumber has been d
ited with the public through the ignorance and misguided pre
of the ordinary painter and the use of inferior paints than we |
any means of accounting, and as long as you neglect your duty ii
direction you will suffer the effects. Doubtless every one of you
recommends cut iron and galvanized nails when you sell a s
bill. You had to come to it because you finally convinced yout
that the wooden shingle itself is one of the best roofing materia
the world if properly laid. Well, then, just so is each lumber tl
best material for a special use if properly painted. In a way, the pair
people themselves have set the pace for us. As far back as 1904 th
established the educational bureau of the paint manufacturers of the
United States, first as an advertising scheme and later as a combined
publicity and research bureau. In the twelve years of their existence
they have accomplished many things which have created service am=
munition for retail lumbermen, but of which, also, the have

oluntarily contributed by a number of the leading paint manu-

During the following year North Dakota being far distant from
of the paint manufacturing centres, and the wear on paints In
Dakota appearing to be slow, it was decided to duplicate the

| igi Logging Costs for Southern Pine

- manufacturers in Canada are naturally interested in any~
pertaining to the production of southern pine, because many of
of lumber produced in Canada have to compete with southern
of their principal markets. Our readers will be interested
the following discussion of logging costs presented by
in at a recent meeting of the Southern Pine Association :
ds of the Association, Mr. Schopplin said, indicate that
companies reporting their logging costs to.this associa-
first three months of the year 1916 took their stumpage
at amounts ranging from $2.00 to $7.00 per thousand, log
1e average for all companies was $4.88 per thousand feet,
$3,986 per thousand, board measure. .
ence in stumpage between log scale and board mea-
rse, caused by overrun, and this question of overrun is
1e of the most mooted questions in the lumber business, as
d in so many ways, by a diversity of causes: First, the dif-
le rules in themselves give different results as to over-
n the same rule applied in different ways produces dif-
as to overrun. Overrun is further affected by the method
ie for defects in logs; by the manner of slabbing; by the
of dging done and by the judgment of the trimmerman in
lumber, and, of course, by many other causes too numer-
here. Asan illustration of this point, the records show
ree months’ period above mentioned, some of the com-
their overrun as low as 5 per cent. and others as
er cent., so that it will readily be seen that there is a
ation in the question of overrun itself.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 37

Cutting covers the cost of severing the tree from the ground
and this cost is affected largely by the locality of the timber, charac-
ter of labor obtainable and to some extent by the height of stump.
The average cost of cutting of all companies reporting for the three
months’ period was $0.385 per thousand.

Under skidding is taken up the cost of getting the logs from the
stump to the upper tracks, preparatory to loading on cars and bring-
ing into the mill. Of course, the cost of skidding is affected by the
method employed ; by the contour of the country ; by the density of the
standing timber on the ground, and very largely by the weather con-
ditions. The methods employed range all the way from the bull tractor
to the four-line rehaul skidder, and the average cost of skidding, as
shown by the records for the three months’ period, was $1.023 per
thousand.

Under loading is taken up the cost of loading logs from the skids
on log cars for transportation to the mill, and this, of course, is
affected not only by the size of the trees, but by the method of cutting
the logs; that is, whether the logs are cut short in the woods or cut
to longer lengths and cut to the desired length at the mill, and it will
also be governed largely by the method of loading used. The aver-
age cost of loading for the three months’ period, according to the
figures, was $0.239 per thousand.

Under the cost of spurs is taken up the cost of laying, lifting
and maintaining tram track to reach the timber, and this is an item
that will show a very great variance with the same efficiency in the
work, according to the contour of the country.

Under transportation is taken up the cost of what is known as
the “main line” railroad, or the-road from the mill to the point of
concentration of logs in the woods and the cost of operating the neces-
sary train crews to bring the logs into the mill. This is naturally
affected by the distance the timber is from the mill, the character of
the country through which the road runs and the grades that -are
encountered in handling the trains over same. The average cost of
transportation for the three months’ period was $0.911, making the
total cost of logs in pond, for the three months’ period, according to
the association figures, $7.141 per thousand.

From the Canada Lumberman ms
Thirty-five Years Ago

Paper Pulp from Wood :—The following is a description of the
process of making wood pulp: The wood, four feet in length, and of
any thickness, is brought in at the basement of the manufactory,
placed in the barking jack (one stick at a time), where two men with

draw knives rapidly peel off the bark. It is then conveyed by an
elevator to the first floor, sawed in two-foot lengths with crosscut
saws, and passed on to the rip-saw, where it is slabbed (that is, a
small portion of wood on opposite sides taken off), to permit it rest-
ing firmly in the grinding engine. It is then passed to the boring ma-
chine (an upright 1% inch auger, with foot attachment, driven by
power), where the knots are bored out. The wood is then placed
in racks of the same size as the receptacle in the grinding engine,
and carried out to be ground. The grinding engines are upright, and
receive at a filling one-twentieth of a cord of wood. The wood is
placed in a receptacle, and by a simple variable, automatic feed
process, is pressed flatwise between two outward revolving rolls,
composed of solid emery, which are flooded with a spray of water,
carrying off the filbrilized pulp in a stream through revolving screens
to the tank or stuff-chest in the basement. It is then pumped into
a vat which forms part of the wet machine. In this vat is constantly
revolving a large cylinder faced with fine brass wire-cloth, which
picks up the particles of pulp out of the water and places them on
the felt (an endless piece of woolen goods which makes between rolls,
for different purposes, a continual circuit of the wet machine). On
the cylinder is turned a heavy roll, called the “couch”; between the
two, where they meet, the cylinder leaves the pulp, with most of the
water pressed from it. The pulp now makes its appearance on the
felt above the concha roll in a beautiful sheet, 38 inches in width,
and is carried along in a steady flow a distance of about eight feet,
where it passes between (the water here being pressed from it)
but not beyond two heavy rollers, the upper one iron, the lower one
wood; it adheres to the upper roll, which is constantly turning,
wrapping it up, and when a sufficient thickness is attained, is cut
off by a knife being pressed to the roll, which 4s attached to the
machine for that purpose. It now leaves the roll in a thick white
sheet, 36 x 38 inches, where it is received by a boy in attendance on
a table conveniently attached to the machine, and folded into a sheet
16 x 26 inches. It is then placed on scales until the weight is 100
pounds, when it is placed in a press and firmly tied into square, com-
pact bundles. It is now ready for shipment to the paper mill.

“If this disease should escape

Ontario

The lumber trade in Ontario continues along much the same
lines as have prevailed throughout the summer, There is a fair
demand only, in the larger centres, being the result almost entirely
of the activity of the manufacturing interests, such as furniture pro-
ducers, farm implement manufacturers, etc. The building trade in
the cities continues to show no life worth mentioning. During the
last week of August and the first week of September wholesalers
report that the country retail trade showed a moderate improvement.
[t is expected that this will be the commencement of a fair amount of
trade during the fall. Ontario farmers have done exceptionally well
this summer with most of their crops and products, and are in a good
position to purchase lumber in considerable quantities. Moreover,
they are, in a great many cases, in actual need of lumber for new
buildings, alterations, repairs, etc., which have been postponed from
time to time during the past year or two. Country retailers report
that this demand is now developing and is responsible for the improve-
ment of the past fortnight.

The controlling factor in connection with the lumber producing
industry in Ontario continues to be the great scarcity of men. The
situation 1s daily becoming more critical. A wholesaler who recently
called on a number of Northern mills states that it has now become
almost impossible for the manufacturers to ship their stock in any-
thing like the quantity required by the trade. All wholesalers report
that they have orders in at mills for numbers of cars which they can-
not obtain. In conversation with bankers regarding this subject lum-
bermen are invariably told that they must be patient, and bear in mind
always that the most important matter to be attended to to-day is
the prosecution of the war, and that, so far as the shortage of labor
and the inability of railroads to handle shipments are concerned, it is
up to manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers to accept what they
can get and make the best of it. This does not mean that the trade
should lie down and wait for something to turn up, but that everyone,
in addition to doing what he can to keep the wheels of industry on the
move, must also be patient in regard to the matter of deliveries.

While the manufacturers at Northern Ontario points are having
trouble making shipments, the likelihood is that long before next
spring the av ailable stocks at mill points will have been greatly de-
pleted, if not almost wiped out. A prominent wholesaler, discussing
this point, reported that a year ago he had plentiful stocks on hand at
mill points, whereas to-day nearly’ all of his stock has been shipped
out, and every foot of it has been sold. Moreover, he is finding it diffi-
cult to obtain small lots, of, say, one to five car loads, at scattered
points where he formerly was able to dig them up without much diffi-
culty. The same condition he reports in connection with hardwoods,
‘stating that the 1916 cut has all been shipped out, so far as it is fit to
ship.

Eastern Canada |

The demand for shell box lumber at Montreal is again the chief
feature of the trade. The Imperial Munitions Board recently placed
another order for 250,000 Bethlehem boxes at Montreal, and this calls
for a large quantity of 1¥2-inch stock, which at present is scarce.
There is also a good demand for ordinary boxes for commercial pur-
poses, and wholesalers are finding the hox trade an interesting end
-of the business. Otherwise business is slow.. Wholesalers at Mont-
real, in common with those in other centres, are looking for an advance
in the cost of lumber next-year, as a result of, the searity of labor, high
wages, advanced cost of food and éqitipment, etc., in connection with
logging operations. The export trade from Montreal to Great Britain
is quiet. The Government-is. taking up a large quantity of vessel
space, leaving only a little for lumber shipments. Rates, however,
are a trifle easier, but not low enough to bring out much demand.

Spruce quotations at Boston have recently shown an advance.
August trade was unusually good. Wholesalers and manufacturers
who sell direct to the retail trade are taking nothing less than $27
base for frames, an advance of $1, and within $1 of the record high
price last spring. Quotations for frames now are as follows: 8-inch,
$27 ; 9-inch, $28; 10-inch, $29; 11-inch and 12-inch, $30. Randon quo-
tations are also firmer, at the following range: 2 x 3, $21 to $225 2x 4,
$22 to $23: 2 x 5,2 316, amd2 se 7% $21 - U2 Bs $2450 to $26;.2 x 10,
$26.50 to $28; 2 x 12, $27.50 to $29. A falling off in the demand for
spruce is reported from New York, but as stocks at mill points are
low, it is expected that higher prices will soon prevail. The building
outlook is. fair, but the yards are holding off and purchasing’ only
what they require from day to day. A better demand for hemlock is
reported at Boston, and prices are stronger. A satisfactory volume of
hemlock business is also in progress at "New York. .

£ .

gapfeabar 15, ee 91

Shingles are firm and active at Boston. Nice white cedar ext
are bringing $3.50 to $3.60 and clears $3.10 to $3.30, but the lo
prices will not bring out the best of this grade. Red cedars are
so active. Lath have been rather unsteady. Manufacturers of 5
lath are quoting $4.25 for 15-inch, but some large retail jar r
they can obtain stocks at $4.15 and even $4.10. For 1'4-inch le
prevailing price is $3.65. ‘

United States

The removal of a fear of a general strike among the etait y
railway companies in the United States engaged in the OF
trains has resulted in business returning to its former en
activity. The expectation is now general that during the
winter season the industries of the United States will experi
busiest time they have had in recent years. Although the
business has been rather slow to respond to the general pi
its condition now is more favorable than at any former
early in the present year. Complaints of car shortage are
from the chief producing centres, though this is more parti
case where there is no competition among railroads for
The approaching demand upon the railroad companies: for
the removal of the crops is causing retailers to anticipate t
ments to a fair extent. Retail stocks, as a rule, are not now |
many sections they are, in fact, below normal.

Reports from the Southern pine manufacturing sectioial
encouraging, so far as the market situation is concerned, but
refer also to the scarcity of cars for shipment. The policy of ¢
ment which has been in operation for some time now is hat
effect upen the market for Southern pine. The Northern pin
at Chicago shows no change during the past fortnight, the 12 volt
trade being only moderate. Improvement ’ is expected 1
factory buying in the near future. Prices continue firm, At P
the trade in Northern pine is a little larger than it was a ‘short
ago, and wholesale yards are busy getting out orders that ere
up by the threatened railroad strike. Orders for future de
not very plentiful, but are increasing to some extent as the vz
season passes by. Wholesalers at B uffalo are finding it nee
add to their stocks by rail deliveries more than usual, on acco
the scarcity of boats and the high freight rates. Increased sa
Northern pine are reported from. North Tonawanda, and
stiffened. There is a good demand for nearly all grades, and
wholesalers are predicting an unprecedented shortage 0 d
stock when navigation closes this year. There is a heal
for hemlock at Buffalo. Country dealers are coming into
more generally than they were during August. Prices are
the slight advances recently reported. Improvement is also rey
in the hemlock market at North Tonawanda. Wholesaler are p
some of the business that yellow pine dealers are unable to |

A little better tone is reported in connection with t
ket in Great Britain, especially in regard to deals. Busi

The spot market at London has been quiet, as most n
are still on the cautious side. The requirements of the

during the week ending August 19 amounted to 11,588 stand

At Liverpool the principal demand is for Government rf
ments, and even in this line there has been a somewhat redu

At Manchester the timber trade at present is only in mod
volume. One of the most extensive sources of consumptio
demand from the railway companies, which continue to use ve
quantities of timber. The general industrial situation at Man
is good, and is leading some of the chief manufacturers to exp
opinion that there will not be any depression of a lasting ¢

Market Correspondence

Montreal Trade Slightly Improved

Montreal, September 11th; (Special to the Canada Lumberman):
The demand for shell box lumber is again the dominating feature of
the market. Additional orders for boxes have recently been placed
here by the Imperial Munitions Board, including one for over 250,000
“Bethlehem” boxes. These call for large quantities of 1% inch
stock, which is difficult to obtain. Box makers are also busy on
ordinary commercial boxes. The result is that wholesale lumber
firms who are specializing on this business report that tradé has
lately improved considerably. In other directions, business is slow,
although dealers state that, except for pine, prices are keeping very
firm.

Wholesalers are generally of opinion that we must look forward
to a substantial rise in prices next year, as the result of a short cut,
due to labor scarcity and higher production costs generally.

An encouraging sign is the increase in the value of building
permits. For the second month in succession, there is an increase
on the period in 1915. During August the total was $601,340, a gain
of $291,575; while for the eight months the value was $3,581,554, a
falling off of $579,808, as compared with last year. Although the
bulk of the work is for small properties, of late there have been sev-
eral projects for building factories.

Only a small amount of lumber is being sent to the United King-
dom. Space is restricted, owing to Government requirements, and
although rates are a trifle easier, they are not sufficiently attractive
to induce large shipments even were room abundant. Unless there
is a._considerable impetus to exports, of which there is no prospect
at present, the season will show a very material falling off as com-
pared with last year. ;

The persistent demands for sulphite pulp have left the mills
with only a very small stock for immediate requirements. Prices
are exceptionally strong, and so far as can be judged, there is no
indication of any break in the market. In fact, the chances are that
quotations will go still higher. A considerable quantity continues
to be shipped to England. Ground wood is also firm. Newsprint
mills have a ready market for all their production, and with the good
outside buying prices are very stiff.

China to Be Big Lumber Market

Julean Arnold, United States commercial attache for China and
Japan, now visiting various cities in the Pacific Northwest, is confi-
dent that China will some day develop into a great lumber-consuming
country whose requirements will naturally be largely supplied by
North Pacific mills. At present China is not buying any great volume
of lumber because of high ocean freight rates and scarcity of available
tonnage. Just before the European war China was consuming about
161,000,000 feet of softwood lumber a year. Generally the Chinese
people are now learning the value of lumber as a building material,

and, with all conditions favoring important development of the coun-

try, the Chinese nation seems almost certain to become a great lumber-

Western United States Trade Conditions

The West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, in a bulletin um
date of September 8, say: On a market admittedly weak in price a
volume of new business was placed with Pacific Northwest saw
last week. Car shortage in Oregon caused transcontinental shipn
to drop off, but the decrease was more than made up in ca
local shipments. Water business, while showing increases
orders and shipments, continues discouragingly below normal. —

Production of lumber has gone slightly above normal.
partially explained by the fact that there is now a tendency to ac
late stocks at the mills, owing to badly broken assortments
anticipation of at least normal fall buying of retail yard material.

Orders are below normal production, 4.58 per cent. on 3,2
feet. Orders are below actual production 8.33 per cent., or 6,056,9%
feet. In comparison with the previous week orders show an improve
ment of 1.46 per cent. ee

South Africa Market Important to Canadians

A report from the Canadian Trade Commissioner at Cape Town,
wouth Africa, published in the weekly bulletin of the Department of
‘Trade and Commerce, states that since the departure of Mr. H. R.
MacMillan from South Africa, special efforts have been made to
secure cargoes of Douglas fir which were cancelled owing to shortage
of available tonnage. Scarcity of tonnage from eastern Canada has
held down the exports of eastern wood, as about only one-third of the
quantity on order has been delivered. During the latter part of 1914
and during 1915 the supply of Scandinavian and Russian wood was
very limited, but during the past four months of 1916 good supplies
have come forward from Swedish ports at only slightly lower prices
than the North American quotations. The imports into Cape ‘Town
in this period are a record in quantity for this port.

The imports of unmanufactured pine into South Africa during
1913, 1914 and 1915 were as follows :—

l‘or the past three years, trade inquiries have been published for
many firms anxious to take up the representation of Canadian box
makers, and a number of trade inquiries have been published from
South African merchants prepared to purchase in 100,000 lots. Busi-
ness has not resulted, and it is hoped that some organization will
take up the manufacturing of box shooks for export on the most
modern plans so that Canada may secure a good share of the present
demand as well as that of the near future, which, competent authori-
ties say, will be in the millions of boxes for oranges only.

Several Canadian handle manufacturers are now represented in
South Africa by first-class agents and good results should be shown
in next year’s returns, although it is a aed and long task to substi-
tute the maple handle for the hickory. There is no “doubt when the
value of the better grade maple handle has been proved to the South
African trade, good results will follow. South Africa manufactures
anfiually from a special hard wood, about 20,000 pick handles; all
other handles used in South Africa are imported, and the importance
of this trade for Canadian maple handles will perhaps be better ap-
preciated by a reference to the quantity of imports of pick, shovel and
hammer handles, which number respectively 66,000; 450,000 and
236,000.

The steamer sailings under Government contract from Canada to
South Africa have continued to carry lumber in good quantities. The
lumber cargoes are not all Canadian timber, but the percentage given
to Canadian lumber has increased considerably during the past eight-
een months.

B. C.’s Fine Exhibit of Lumber and Timber at the CHE.

The exhibit of the B. C. Forest Service at the Canadian Nation:
[exhibition this year was a great drawing card to the thousands :
people who saw it daily. In conception and arrangement the exh
was a decided improvement upon anything of its kind that has fo:
erly been seen at the exhibition. It was carried out upon an
ceptionally ambitious scale, some idea of which can be obtained f
the accompanying illustration. The handsome facade consisted
solid Douglas fir logs and heavy beams. Behind these the sma
exhibits were arranged in six divisions treated in separate wood
follows :—(1) Western soft pine; (2) Western white pine; (3) W
ern red cedar; (4) Douglas fir; (5) Western hemlock; (6) Western
larch and Western spruce. In each section the separate woods
backed up by beautiful panels showing the results secured by various
finishes in oil, stain, varnish, wax, polish, etc. In this way the beat iti-
ful characteristics of the different woods were shown to the very bes
advantage. The exhibit contained everything produced in B. C. in
the way of timber and lumber of commercial value, including an ex-
tensive range of mouldings and turned stock in all the woods. In
each case, moreover, the wood was exhibited both as finished stock
and as board and plank in various grades. The flooring of the exhibit
was of Douglas fir, edge grain. The doors were pine, cedar and fir.
In the exhibit there were also three tables 48 inches in diameter,
three chairs and one settee, illustrating the use of B. C. woods fo 1
furniture. production. The table tops were of rotary cut veneer.
exceptionally interesting part of the exhibit was a fine red cedar chest

B. C. red cedar shingles were shown in all grades, and the exhi
included two sample roofs. Information was given to a great many
visitors upon the best methods of laying and nailing B. C. shingles. £
The exhibit also included an interesting range of wood product 'S
including a boat built in Vancouver, with “unfinished lumber, so as
to show the class of wood used. There were also oars, finished a
in the rough, and a great variety of boxes, including fruit boxes
B. C. spruce, which is odorless and free from defects, making it
ideal package for the conveyance of food. Other features of the
hibit were paving blocks, tight and slack cooperage, wood stave pipe
silo stock, in fir and cedar, verandah posts and balustrades, window
frames and a panel from a clear log 9 feet in diameter. The log
from which this panel was taken contained 17,000 feet of lumber
to the first knot. 4

Mr. L. B. Beale, B. C. Lumber Commissioner at Toronto, whose

offices are in the Excelsior Life Building, was in charge of the |
hibit. Its conception and carrying out were planned by him

reflected great credit upon his originality and energy.

A Few of the Mistakes I Have Made

It is rather a queer occurrence for one of us to sit right down and
“fess up!” Well, they say confession is good for the soul, so I believe
if I admit some of my many errors some of you may “soften” and
say, “Me, too!” Just like the bashful girl and boy—after the boy
pours out his soul to the girl, no matter how well she had guarded her
feelings, she generally admits that she, too, has the “same feeling”
towards him, says the Lumber Doctor in the St. Louis Lumberman.

Now, you perhaps have heard a thousand times at least that
“experience is a good teacher’; so we will admit that fact, and I will
tell you just a few things that you can benefit by avoiding.

A couple of months ago I put every account that I considered
undesirable on my book onto a separate list. Now, in the first place,
don’t you ever let two hundred people who are undesirable customers
get onto your books. That’s bad policy; but if they are there, get your
money out of them, if you can. Well, I did get a lot of them to settle
—in fact, about one hundred and forty. Now, I still have about sixty
of the very worst kind to collect from. é

I have tried coaxing, begging, suing, filing liens, garnisheeing,
and no telling what. I have not given up very many of them yet, and
I won’t till they die, and then |’ il take a try at what is a by them,
which usually is not very much.

I am now working on a contractor who is everlastingly tearing
up the sod because I have told him that he must settle up his account,
because it had not been “red inked” for twelve years.

Now this fellow quit me cold, and is as mad as a wet hen, and I
guess he will cause me all kinds of trouble before he settles with me.
Nevertheless, we are going to settle, or get the courts to settle for us.
I.much prefer the former, but if nothing but courts will do him, he will
get the courts.

Of course, some of you will say I should never have let it run on
-this long, and I guess you are exactly right. But he paid us many a
hundred dollars, although he would pay up no certain bills, but just so
much on account, and ‘let the thing keep running along, and I kept
charging him interest and selling him stuff—and so it got into this
shape.

When I ask this man for money he won’t answer me, or if I try
to stop him and talk to him about the account he won’t pay any more
attention to me than to a hobo asking for a drink. Now, I have sent
him notice that he must set a date to begin to settle, within a week,
and I mean just what | say. I should, of course, have made him
settle each job within three months and twenty days of the time of
purchase of the last material, and then all this would not have
occurred, and I could have either fallen out with him long ago or else
had him for a good customer now, instead of have him “knocking”’ me
at every opportunity. But I didn’t. I lost, and am now telling you
how to avoid such things—and perhaps you will take the warning, and
perhaps you won't till you get “stung” a bit yourself.

I have another contractor who has failed to settle for six years,
who just has a peculiar way of getting the best of everyone he comes
into contact with.

He knows how, and just makes use of the valuable knowledge he
has accumulated.

Let me tell you one thing: Begin right now, and don’t let any job

go by the time for filing a lien, no matter who the party is. Make it a
rule and stick to it; then they can’t blame you. I made it a rule to

charge interest and collect it, and I am $10,000 better off by it. Lots
of them made rules to charge interest one week and broke them the
next.

Run your own business. Don’t let everyone come to you and tell
you what you must do. By this I don’t mean not to take and consider
the advice of others, but I do mean don’t let your customers bulldoze
you.

I have let several “prince-of-soft-silk artists” get me good and
plenty, and then refuse some poor devil $5 worth of credit. How many
of you will “fess up” to having done this? And yet you know you
have.

[ have just sued one of them, and will be ten years getting what
he owes me, and will have his enmity the rest of my life. Whereas,
had I guarnisheed on all the bills he owes me for, | would have the
money and, besides, I would have him “pulling” for me.

Had I notified the parties before they paid the contractor whom |
have filed liens on for unpaid bills by the contractors, I would be
thousands of dollars better off and have a few more customers besides.

Don’t be afraid to notify the owner on anything where you doubt
the contractor’s paying qualities; it is no more than fair. Of course,
he may show his appreciation of your kindness by telling the con-
tractor, but you will get your money, and be that much ahead. It is
better to fall out at first than after they have you a few thousand dol-
lars to the bad.

A mistake I have not made which, no doubt, some of you have, is

to sign contractors’ and others’ bonds.
, This is a great mistake, and lumbermen had better keep off of
this practice; and, furthermore, refrain from signing notes for anyone,
and you will be thousands of dollars to the good. I have an ironclad

contract not to sign anything but a merchant’s license bond, a
stick to it, too; and I don’ t believe I have lost the sale of $100 wort
of stuff by so doing.

A mistake that I have just corrected and quit making is that
giving credit for wet and damaged cement sacks. “Hearken unto
my lads!” don’t send out cement or plaster in bad sacks, and di
accept any bad sacks in return. I have a stamp that I put on eve
ticket that has plaster or cement on it, which says: “Don’t acter
bad sacks, as you will receive no credit for torn or wet ones,” ae

tell you that there isn’t one of you who hasn’t lost money by
back sacks, stray sacks, and wet sacks. Besides, if you stand for
practice you are not treating your competitor who wants to do b
ness on business principles right. There are a whole lot of us”
don’t care much for our competitors, but we shouldn’t fail to :
decent as we can, for our competitors are seldom as black at heat
they look to us.

A good many of us have made the mistake ‘a send out a |
advertising under a one-cent stamp. Not guilty here. But [1
friends who have done it. Please avoid it. i

Another thing to save time and money by is not to fail to y
all sales tickets the address of the purchaser. It saves you mec
time that your yard man won't lose by asking the one who
ticket, and your yardman and your collector won’t have to lo
addresses when they go after the money. Oh, yes, don’t f
make every fellow who receives any material from you on é€
cash or credit ticket sign up the receipt. Don’t be afraid to ¢
this; it has saved us many a dollar, and many customers w
would have lost otherwise.

Another mistake that some of us are still making is to alloy
canning in our lumber yards and foul language. We have thre ze
in our office, and our yard i is just as refined as any place of b

Another way we can load ourselves down with a lot Xm
able stock is to take an order over the telephone and not hay
tomer sign up a verification slip of it before we order.
One other thing that you must not overlook to avoid is, don’t b
everything that is offered you for sale. I have a lot of articles t
have had a hard time trying to move; but they are not going 1
dead loss.
Now, some of those things might move nicely in some con
ties, but have proven a failure in ours. I am just cleaning up a
hog dip that I had on hand for three long years. I have a bu
paint and wallpaper cleaners and a lot of waterproofing compot
hand. Some of these are all right, but the others are not. W
these things I have a whole lot of unfulfilled promises of the fe
who sold them to me. They promised to send a man here to can
with us, and introduce them, but never did. I just traded off a he
metal weather strips, the kind of strip that rises and drops as
door opens and closes. I traded those back to the firm for some s
Sai track and hangers that I sold since and got my money o
them.
Then there is one very important thing. Yes, I believe it i
important than all the rest of them, and that is one that we all
made a great mistake in. It is losing our temper. Now, let
you, every time you lose your temper you lose your money.

Forests and the War

The devastation of the forests by shot, shell, and soldiers in the
warring countries of Europe is described by Percival S. Ridsdale,
editor of American Forestry, Washington, D.C. He says:

Belgium, the major portion of which is in possession of the Ger-
mans, had some forested land, which was, as it might well be termed,
more of a scenic than a commercial nature. Advices indicate that
these forests have practically been destroyed. Much of the timber
was used by the Germans for military purposes—in the construction
of trenches, in road building, in the erection of shelters, barracks, etc.
Considerable was used for firewood, and it has been stated, with what
accuracy it is impossible to say, that timber not used in this way or
needed in the military zone has been shipped to Germany for home
consumption. Most probably this is so. Before the war Germany
imported large quantities of timber from Russia, and in the last few
years preceding the war these imports greatly increased. English
writers, calling attention to this fact, insinuate that the Germans knew
the war was coming and imported as much timber as possible in order
to conserve her own supplies, and to be able to provide for the
expected large demand by the military in case of war.

As regards Belgium, then, it would not be at all surprising to
learn, when the war is over, that there remains on Belgian soil no tim-
ber of commercial value; that her scenic forests have been wiped out,
and that thousands of her roadside and street trees have been used
for fuel and for other purposes by the Germans.

In Northern France, on both sides of the fighting front, great
damage has been done the forests, not only by the tremendous bom-
bardments which have marked the fighting there, and by the hail of
bullets from small arms which have swept forested spaces, but by the
trench builders, the road engineers, and others who needed timber
for construction work. Thousands of new roads or passageways have
been built for the rapid transportation of guns, munitions, supplies,
and men, to thousands of points along both fronts. Many of the roads
or passageways are of the type known as corduroy roads, the base
being made of tree trunks, overlaid with branches and these branches
overlaid with earth. These roads alone necessitate the cutting of
thousands upon thousands of trees. In the lining of trenches and the
building of shelters there has been unceasing demand for more and
more timber, and when it has been on hand in the shape of single
trees, groups of trees, woodlands, or forests, it is fair to assume that
it has heen freely used.

In addition, the destruction by shot and shell -is tremendous.
Trees that have not been blown down or cut through or shattered
have been so badly damaged that they will die; others, pitted with
bullet holes or wounded by other shot, are now open to disease or
insect attack, while there are long stretches of forested lands where
- there has been no fighting, not much is known, but the inference is
' that, owing to the unceasing military demands for timber, the annual
cutting is very much greater than it was in times of peace,-and this
means, doubtless, that practically all timber that has matured has been
cut and used, for France, like England, was in times of peace a large
importer of timber, and, like England, her supply from Russia, whence
most of it-came, has been cut off since the war started.

There is no occasion for concern regarding Russian forests, for
the losses due to warfare are infinitesimal when compared with her
tremendous forest resources. Then, too, even in the forests where
there has been severe fighting, the damage done the trees is hardly
worthy of note, because the forests are so dense and so extensive.
Russia, with her wonderful forests, will have a glorious opportunity
for an immense lumber business when the war is over, and if she can
take advantage of it she will become the main source of timber supply
for all the warring countries of Europe.

Practically no advices have come from Italy regarding any
destruction of forests due to the war, nor has much been reported or
written about Austria’s situation in this respect.

_It is certain that Germany has done a great deal of cutting in
captured enemy territory, chiefly in Poland and Western Russia, and
that she has conserved her own forest resources in the thoroughly
efficient and ‘scientific manner in which she has for so long managed
her forests, but news of what she has or has not done would doubtless
be of some military value to her enemies, and so in America nothing
of importance has been heard regarding her forests.

The effect of the war on the forests of the British Isles will likely ~

be the utter destruction of most of them. The war has created impera-
tive need of lumber, and at the same time has cut off England’s main
source of supply, as well as made prices for what can be imported
almost prohibitive. In time of peace England’s timber imports were
valued at about $215,000,000 a year, and this figure gives some idea of
the amount she has needed since the war started. So great is her
need, in fact, that already many of her home forests have been cut
down, and, as everything must be sacrificed to the war, it is altogether

Conditions in Canada necessitate an
engine that will stand any amount of
strain and hard work in the lumber in-
dustry. With this idea in mind we have
brought out the “Dunbar” engines per-
haps a little stronger than is really
needed. They do their work easily and
willingly, and stand a great amount of
hard usage. Built entirely in Canada for
the Canadian lumber trade.

The man who “wouldn’t spend a cent” on
an International Time Recorder discovered
one day that he was paying for one because
he didn’t have it. When he did really install
one it paid for itself.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

| These are the Three Great Factors in
Commercial Life—the International Time
Recorder is their Watch Dog.

| Just like your lumber and hardware, minutes cost you money. They
| represent your greatest investment and yet they are the one raw material
| that is not carefully and accurately measured.

Meter your time with an International Time Recorder. Get all the
time you pay for—cut the Gordion knot in preparing your time sheet—
promote co-operation and discipline and avoid disputes,

|g There are 260 styles of International Time Recorders—one is particu-
; larly suited to your business. Prices from $100.00 up.

And Here is Why:

Built in 8, 9 and 10 ft. sizes, there’s a Waterous Band-
mill for every kind of work.

Che spring-cushioned, all knife edged tension device is
the most sensitive in use.

Upper and lower guides,swing about the exact centre
of the saw blade.

Massive design of the bed and columns precludes vibration
during cutting. This mill is absolutely steady doing the
heaviest work.

Every part of the mill is designed to make mill-wrighting
easy. Adjustments and inspections can be made without
difficulty.

Waterous Bandmills are designed and built in a plant that
has specialized in the manufacture of Canadian sawmill mach-
inery for more than 50 years. It counts.

that we recently arranged a test on painting
and finishing twenty-five specimens of Arkan-
sas Soft Pine by the Institute of Industrial
Research at Washington, D.C., under the per-
sonal supervision of Henry A. Gardner, Assist-
ant Director.

The illustration shows acorner of our yard piled

your order onto flat cars in our yard. If you need
good timbers in a hurry, give us a trial order.

These experiments are now completed, and
the results have been compiled by Mr. Gardner
into a set of directions for painting and finish-
ing our product. We have put them in pamph-
let form, and will be glad to send you a copy,
Mr. Dealer.

These same directions are also being incorpor-
ated into a more elaborate book on painting
and finishing, which will be ready for distribu-
tion to home-builders a little later on. Every
person receiving the book will, of course, be
advised that Arkansas Soft Pine is sold only
through local dealers.

t is the Matter with Our
Retailers P

> formation of a National Retail Lumbermen’s Association in
States is reported as having taken place recently at a meet-
Chicago. This step is probably one of the most important
en taken in connection with the lumber trade organization
for many years, as it will, to a considerable extent, com-
circle of organization throughout the trade, which now has
al Manufacturers’ Association, its National Wholesalers’
on, and its National Retailers’ Association, as well as a large

ections of the trade and industry. These organizations, by
¢ in many of their efforts, are doing an incalculable good

nything similar in the way of co-operation? With one or two
ie xceptions, the history of lumber trade organization in Can-

been disappointing. Sometimes we are likely to think that
ral disposition of the people in the United States is more
to this sort of thing than it is in Canada, and probably there
ruth in this idea, but there is surely not sufficient in it to

tance of the work and the benefits which it can produce.

, which is making greater progress perhaps than any similar

there are only one or two small local retail organizations

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 95

yurposes for which retail associations are formed is to show manu-
facturers and wholesalers the wisdom of selling to the retailer only
and not seeking the trade of the consumer in the same territory as
their retail customers cover. This is really a fundamental principle
in the proper conduct of any line of retail business, and the organiza-
tions of retail associations have always been able to bring about good
results along this line. In the United States, however, the activity of
the retail associations has gone far beyond this, and the new organiza-
tion of the retailers from all parts of the country gives an indication
of the width of its scope by its first official acts.

‘The National Wholesale Association of Retail Lumbermen, imme-
diately after its formal organization, went on record in favor of the
trade-marking of all lumber products, to show in what mill they were
produced, and the marking of the grade to ensure the consumer that
he is obtaining the particular line and grade of lumber he calls for.
In the past some retailers have made quite a good thing from time to
time out of regrading their stocks, a practice which brought a good
profit for the time being, but which destroyed the confidence of the
consumer.

If the retailers insist upon manufacturers and wholesalers furnish-
ing them with trade-marked and grade-stamped lumber, the manufac-
turers and wholesalers will have to give it to them. The first step in
the direction of such a reform has already been taken by many of the
large manufacturers and associations of manufacturers in the United
States, so that the outlook for putting this particular reform into
effect is very favorable.

The new-National Association of Retail Lumbermen will also co-
operate with the manufacturers in the exploitation of wood for those
uses for which it is best suited. This will dovetail nicely with the
campaign of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association for
In fact, the new organization
finds upon its very inception that much of its field of work is already
mapped out for it by the other large-organizations, and that its appear-
ance in the field is the logical completion of a movement which has
the interests of all sections of the industry and trade at heart.

Retail lumbermen in Eastern Canada have dragged far behind in
this field. While the United States’ retailers have already formed
local and national organizations, we can scarcely say that the retail
association movement in Eastern Canada has been born. Either the
Canadian retailer is neglecting a good thing or the movement is of no
use. In the face of the results secured, both in the United States and
Western Canada, it is not possible to assert that the movement is any-
thing but a good one, and we are forced to the conclusion that Eastern
Canadian retailers are neglecting their own interests by not organizing
both local and national associations.

ee ere Oe Le Ei aher

If there is one fact that stands out more clearly than any other in
connection with the lumber trade in Canada to-day it is the universally
held opinion of manufacturers and wholesalers that lumber is going
to be dearer before it is any cheaper. Our discussions with members
of the trade of late have converted us very definitely to this point of
view. This is not said without a great deal of study or without secur-
ing the views of a large number of men who are intimately connected
with the industry and the trade in their various branches. It is not
simply an opinion set forth by way of a prophesy, nor is it the expres-
sion of a wish that is father to the thought. It is based upon a con-
viction that has been steadily growing and that was carried to a prac-
tical demonstration by the opinions we were able to publish in the
Annual Camp Number of the Canada Lumberman on September Ist.
We felt pretty sure of the soundness of these views when that issue
was published, but we waited a few weeks longer before declaring
ourselves very definitely, in order to discuss the subject in still further
detail with other lumbermen.

While our object in publishing the Camp Number was to place
before readers as interesting and vivid an idea as we could of the log-
ging end of the industry as it is carried on to-day, we found, before
we had proceeded far with its preparation, that it was developing into
an almost continued story of rising costs, increasing manufacturing

- difficulties, and rapidly diminishing supply of labor. While we have

26 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND

dwelt upon these points to some extent in previous issues, we feel that
the situation calls for keeping them continually before the lumbermen
of Canada to-day.

For more than two years the disturbing and depressing effects of
the war have been at work upon the lumber business. Building opera-
tions have been practically nil in Canada during that time. All indus-
try has been going through a process of reorganization. We have had
to face conditions for which we had nothing in all our past experiences
that would serve us as a guide. The demand of many of the largest
wood-consuming industries has fallen almost to zero. Others, it is
true, have developed, and have done much to help in lessening the
shock. Nevertheless, we have had two years, during which by far the
greatest proportion of business developments have been such as to
depress the lumber trade. It may be assumed quite reasonably that
during that time we have passed through the worst of our troubles.

There is no question that with such conditions as have prevailed the’

price of lumber may be assumed to have touched bottom. [Even if the

present conditions of scarcity of available stocks, increased cost of”

production, and possible improvement in the demand were absent, it
would be reasonable to assume that lumber would not be any cheaper
than it has been of late.

WOODWORKER October 1, 1916
st ; if
It is chiefly when we consider the present manufacturing situation
that we are obliged to take the view that higher prices are assured. It
would not be of any use to repeat a description of present trade condi.
tions. We have already gone into them pretty thoroughly, and manu-
facturers and wholesalers are well acquainted with the details. a -
ers, perhaps, in some cases have not yet seen the writing on the bi |
but before next spring we will be greatly surprised if they are not als
well acquainted with the peculiar situation that we believe can 1 b
counted upon to produce higher costing lumber, even thelial 1
demand should be only light.
To tell the truth, we do not at present see much that looks lik
increased demand in the immediate future, but in these baile
the war situation is changing almost hourly and growing contim
more favorable to the allies, one would be foolish to leave out of c
sideration the likelihood of peace being suddenly thrust on us aln
without warning. With a return of peace, although we will
period of disturbed industrial conditions to face, the lumber i
will be oné of the first to recover, because of the fact that lumh

material for many of the industries that will be stirred into “ae
the return of mankind to the ways of peace.

Price Cutting Quite

The man who fails to keep a stiff backbone nowadays, and who
decides that he must get rid of some of his lumber in order to get his
hands upon a little more money than has been coming his way, is
doing himself and other lumbermen a great injury. Price-cutting is a
very enticing proposition. We are all prone to believe in its efficacy,
in exceptional cases at least. The great expansion of the departmental
store business and of many other lines of business conducted on
rather similar grounds has led the average man to believe that iower
prices create demand, and to try to put this theory into practice with-
out considering whether it is infallible and universally true. If one
looks into the matter critically he will quickly learn that price-cutting
creates a demand all right in certain well-defined cases, but that in
others, which are equally well defined, all the price-cutting in the
world will not create an atom of demand, but will, by unsettling the
taind of the buyer, have the opposite effect, and make him wait for
still further concessions. This is the case with lumber. The demand

for lumber in Canada to-day is such that it would scarcely be possible ,

to make the market take a single extra stick, even if one gave his stock
away. The conditions do not exist which permit of the consumption
of lumber stocks in normal quantities.

Price-cutting really is not so great a trouble in Canada to-day as
it sometimes is, because the supply of lumber is not large, and those
who have it have had a long time in which to become familiar with
trade conditions such as they are at present. There are some, how-
ever, who are indulging in this practice, and we suppose that there
will always be more or less of them. _So far as the retailer is con-
cerned, he should be getting full value to-day for everything that he

the manufacturers’ point of view, but it must have its effect upon
trimming his sails for ayes price squalls. _ The conditions are a

around next year. “
Therefore, we feel warranted in advising the price- -cutter to men
his ways, for he is giving good lumber away. We also believe that
we are well advised in toile the retailer and the man who uses lum-
ber as a raw material that they may make up their minds now that
any stock they buy to-day will be worth more than at are paying
for it before many months have past. B-
If these views are well founded—and they are the views that we
find practically every lumber manufacturer and wholesaler ese
to-day—would it not be a good thing for those who call upon the
retailer and the. consuming trade generally to act upon them un i
formly? That is to say, why should not the man on the road and al
those who have to do with the selling of lumber stocks make this thee
chief line of talk from now on? Once the lumber-buying fraternity
in general are shown the actual state of affairs in existence to-day ti
big obstacle will have been removed. Unquestionably there are lar
amounts of money standing idle in the banks which are ear-marked
for the purchase of lumber when the owners become convinced that
no further price reductions can be obtained. The situation is exactly
ripe for bringing out much of this money, and salesmen who continu-—
ally talk this situation up to their customers will be helping to bring
about all the sooner the return of a fairly active market.

Educating the Consumer—A Word from Great Britain

Not very long ago we had the pleasure of publishing in these col-
umns some extracts from a letter written by Mr. Ernest W. Tickle, a
well-known English hardwood merchant, to the chairman of the Lum-
bermen’s Round Table at the International Convention of Rotary, at
Cincinnati, O. Mr. Tickle’s chief point was to call attention to the
good times that are coming to the lumber trade after the war, and to
urge lumbermen to get ready for them. The publicity given to his
letter leads Mr. Tickle once more into print, this time in the columns
of “The Timber Trades Journal,’ of London, Eng., and what he has
to say makes one think that he has been infected by the enthusiasm
germ that flourishes so vigorously at conventions of lumbermen in
the United States.
ent, and, while they apply definitely to the trade in Great Britain, there

At any rate, his remarks are refreshingly pertin-—

is scarcely one of his points that cannot be applied equally well to the
lumber trade in Canada.

“For many months past the thought has kept riiging in 1
mind,” Mr. Tickle writes, ‘‘are we hardwood men doing all that
can to extend our trade Are we even going the right way to”
what little position hardwoods have on the British market ? Or,

without so much as a murmur of protest, let alone a full voiced chorus:
of organized defiance or a single tactical stroke in opposition? a

“Let us first of all consider one or two of the lines where we have

office appliances. Have your readers noticed the pertinacity with

men and, through their salesmen, the consumer, with the idea of the

iblic press all over that vast country, with the result that public

and not a single suggestion of organized opposition have I| heard.
“Our growing love of ‘buying in the cheapest market’ has brought
these troubles upon us, just as it bred the German menace, which has
produced the tragedy of the last two years, and, unless we fight our
hardest, each in his own particular trade, peace, with its increased
taxation and its aftermath of high-cost living, will batten this curse of
‘cheapness’ upon us, till we reach a stage of utter and horrible misery.
f “But if we fight, and fight hard, for quality and service, this war,
with its possibilities of the removal of Continental ‘dumpings,’ ought
give us our chance of re-establishing the old British reputaion of
ighest quality goods and workmanship. Don’t let peace find the
ber trade, and especially the hardwood branch of the trade, at its
policy of ‘laissez faire.’
“It is no use merely talking about the existence of such evils in
our trade, unless the critic feels he has a sug ggestion to offer worthy of
careful consideration by his fellow-tradesmen, and, whilst I do not
claim any degree of originality for the suggestions I want to make, [
hope they may interest your subscribers and raise a cor uate chat in
‘your columns which will result in benefit to our trade.
“Within the last few years business matters are being looked at

long before the days of so-called business science,’ ’ and these funda-
ental verities are being grouped as the axioms on which is growing
this new school of business thought.

“Our great-grandfathers, at the expense of greater physical effort,

Penrod and his son-in-law, Jurden, of Kansas City, and the Pickrel
people of St. Louis, McCowen of Louisville, and a few others got

the ‘misanthropes, have placed the ‘cut out’ in either the third or
fourth place of honor in the furniture woods consumption list.

“Take the hardwood goods, which, perhaps, lie closer to my heart
than anything else in the hardwood trade—maple flooring. The Maple
I‘looring Manufacturers’ Association is daily advancing from victory
to further triumphs by organized publicity, and, in conjunction with
them, I might say I am planning in a small way a campaign to try and
lighten the darkness of the architects round about my own home city.
Let us, especially the younger men in the hardwood trade, who still
have our way to make, get together (whether we be broker or whole-
saler or retailer, or interior finish manufacturer, or furniture maker,
or furniture seller), and see if we cannot form a live organization,
working independenty and yet alongside of the existing associations,
which are too busy looking after the technicalities of the trade, terms of
credit, and such details to consider any extension of their work.

“Let us endeavor to find ways and means of progressive advertis-
ing among the ultimately consuming class, and at the same time
establish a hardwood information bureau, to which the ignorant con-
sumer may apply for light and leading in his groping for that which
he wants, but does not yet know he really does want.

“The new school of thought is directing our attention to the fact
that woman is the great deciding factor in the purchasing world, espe-
cially in all matters intimately connected with the home. Ought we
not, therefore, to seriously consider how best to prove to a woman the
immeasurable superiority of a home fitted with hardwood floors, and
the added artistic touch to the world in which she rules supreme by
the logical use of birch, oak, mahogany, or other hardwoods, treated
in a natural and a beautiful manner, for the doors, skirtings, and gen-
eral interior decoration of her home? ‘Cherchez la femme, but at the
same time do not forget the influence of the architect who designs that
home, whose suggestions so often are law in such cases, and whose
ignorance on the question of the usage of wood in a truly artistic
fashion is just as colossal as it is at once sad and amazing. Let us,
therefore, go thoroughly into the question of reaching the ‘ultimate
consumer.’ Let us realize that it is only by unified action that results
may be accomplished. Let us sink personal interests, the general
commonwealth of the hardwood trade will find our own personal
pockets the richer, according to the way in which we have managed
to maintain our hold on the trade there is to-day, our own personality
will decide the share we obtain in the increased sales, but let us forget
self a bit and work for the glory of our calling. If we can persuade
woman she wants a hardwood home fitted and furnished with the
most beautiful of nature’s many gems—splendidly figured wood—
then the demand will spread from the buyer to the seller and the
manufacturer, and will pass through retailer, wholesaler, and broker
-to the shipper of the wood across the ocean, and ultimately to the
owner of the stumpage so many thousands of miles away, and, in pass-
ing, will leave a coin or two in the hands of all the intermediary inter-
ests, to the benefit of British trade in general and of the hardwood
community in particular. By such means I believe we could within a
year or two double, if not treble, the consumption of hardwoods in
these isles—but it can only be done by concerted force.”

British Columbia Timber Returns for July

The timber returns for the month of July, issued under direction
of the Minister of Lands of British Columbia, show the total scale of
sawlogs for the province to be 140,561,435 feet board measure, in addi-
tion to 610,121 lineal feet of poles and piles, and 36,678 cords of shingle
bolts, ties, posts, etc.

The sawlogs scaled in the various districts include Vancouver,
99,051,896 ft.; Island, 14,535,055 ft.; Cranbrook, 13,269,894 ft.; Vernon,
3,953,905 ft.; Prince Rupert, 3,371,003 ft.; Nelson, 3,086,346 ft., and
Kamloops, 3,069,139 ft. .

In the Nelson district 247,555 lineal ft. of poles were scaled; Van-
couver, 162,503 lineal ft.; Prince Rupert, 53,786 lineal ft. ; Island, 52,909
lineal ft.; Cranbrook, 4] 820 lineal ft.; Vernon, 37,538 lineal ft., and
Kamloops, 14,010 lineal ft.

Of the shingle bolts, railway ties, posts, etc., there were scaled in
the Vancouver district 24,517 cords; Cranbrook, 5,548 cords; Island,
3,911 cords, and Nelson, 2,022 cords.

. Provincial timber sales recorded during the month of July cover
an estimated total of 14,155,000 feet B.M. sawlogs, 125,000 lineal ft. of
poles, and 3,479 cords of shingle bolts, fence posts, and cordwood, to
produce an estimated revenue of $18,811.

Oak is the most suitable wood for carving, on account of its dura-
bility and toughness, without being too hard. Chestnut, American
walnut, mahogany, and teak are also desirable, while for fine work
‘Italian walnut, lime, sycamore, apple, pear, or plum are generally
chosen.

Lumber, Lath and Shingle Output, 19

bcdnien Reduced by One Hundred Million Feet, But Value per Thousand Feet
Shows Advance—Lath Output Greater—Shingles Also Increased

The annual report of the production of lumber, lath and shingles
in Canada, covering operations during the year 1915, has been. pre-
pared by the Forest Branch of the Department of the Interior, Ottawa,
and will shortly be published in bulletin form. The report will say,
in part, that statistics have been obtained from 3,239 mills operating
in Canada during the calendar year 1915. . Reports were received from
396 more mills in 1915 than in 1914. This increase was largely due
to more complete returns from Quebec and British Columbia, made
possible by the co-operation of the provincial forest officials of these
provinces.

The total value of the lumber,
Canada in 1915 was $69,695,477, the separate items being: lumber,
3,842,676,000 feet, board measure, valued at $61,919,806; lath, 793,226,-
000, valued at $2,040,819 ; and _ shingles, 3,089, 470,000, valued at

$5,734,852.

The Douglas fir is also called Douglas pine or spruce, Oregon-pine
or spruce and red or yellow fir. With the exception of the eastern
white pine, and possibly the white spruce, there is no one species
which produces more lumber annually in Canada than does this tree.
The wood is largely used for building purposes. Its striking grain is
making it increasingly popular for interior finish, flooring, panelling —
and doors. It is gradually replacing the southern hard pine in the
markets of eastern Canada.

The wood of the eastern hemlock is used largely for rough con-
struction, frames of buildings, boxes, crates, ties and poles. - Occa-
sionally it is used for pulp manufacture:

The wood of the western hemlock is much superior to that of
the eastern species. It is sometimes sold under the name of Alaska
pine to overcome the prejudice against the wood caused by the objec-
tionable qualities of the eastern species. It is largely used in the
manufacture of boxes and pulp in British Columbia.

Lath Output During 1915

The production of lath in 1915 amounted to 793,226,000, as com-
pared with 625,010,000 during 1914, the average value per thousand be-
ing $2.57 as compared with $2.54 in 1914. The total value of the lath
production was $2,040,819. Ontario led the other provinces with a
production of 309,022,000 pieces. New Brunswick came second, with
288,951,000 pieces, and the production of the other provinces was far
below these two. Spruce was the leading kind of wood from which
lath were manufactured, the production being 320,412,000 pieces.
White pine came second, with 245,390,000 pieces, and cedar third, with
105,254,000 pieces. The increase in the production of lath in Canada
during 1915, as compared with 1914, was 26.8 per cent., as compared
with a decrease of 15.1 per cent. in 1914 as compared with 1913. Dur-
ing the past six years there has been a steady increase in the average
mill value per thousand of lath manufactured in Canada. In 1910 the
average value per thousand was $2.28 and in 1915 $2.57.

Shingle Production in 1915

The output of shingles in Canada during 1915 amounted to 3,089,-
470,000 pieces, as compared with 1,843,554,000 pieces in 1914, the
average value being $1.86 per thousand, as compared with $2 in 1914.
‘The total value of the shingle production in 1915 was $5,734,852. Brit-
ish Columbia led in the production, her total being 1,894,642,000 pieces,
as compared with 1,060,272,000 pieces during 1914. The production
of the other chief shingle producing provinces was as follows :—Que-
bec, 574,797,000 pieces; New Brunswick, 458,987,000 pieces ; Ontario,
93,497,000 pieces; Nova Scotia, 30,733,000 pieces.

The chief wood used for the production of shingles was cedar, the
total being 2,795,441,000 pieces, as compared with 1,777,689,000 pieces
in 1914. The average value per thousand of cedar shingles was $1:83,
as compared with $2.01 in 1914. The other principal woods used for
shingle production showed the following totals :—Spruce, 210,583,000
pieces; white pine, 41,021,000 pieces; Jackpine, 19,544,000 pieces;-
balsam fir, 15,444,000 pieces. All provinces of Canada, with the ex-
ception of Ontario, showed an increased shingle output during 1915.
British Columbia produced considerably more than half the shingles

Retailers Complain of Division Court Costs

At a meeting of retail merchants in Ottawa on September 18th,
Mr. H. Chevrier, a prominent retailer of Winnipeg, delivered an ad-
dress upon the Ontario Division Court Act, drawing attention to the
expense entailed in collecting small debts tnder the Act: A resolu-
tion was passed, to be presented to the executive of the Ontario
Board of the Association, calling upon them to take such steps as may
be necessary to have introduced into, and passed by, the Ontario
Legislature, an Act simplifying the collection of small debts for the
following reasons:

“Ist. Because this act will enable us to collect accounts which are
to-day considered too small to place in the hands of a solicitor.

“2nd. Because it‘will relieve us from the exploitation of so-called
‘commercial adjusters’ or ‘collection agency companies,’ and it will
enable us to do our own collecting inexpensively and expeditiously.

“3rd. Because it will act as a deterent to professional solicitors
for credit, who so often solicit without any intention ot paying, as they
count on the fact that the account being small they cannot be made
to pay it.’

Mr. Chevrier described the simplicity and effectiveness of the act
in vogue in Manitoba for the collection of small debts, whereby the
cost of collecting a $5 debt would be but 50 cents, compared with from
$6 to $7 in Ontario. A magistrate was appointed in each necessary
district to receive complaints of merchants and to issue summonses.
The merchant could use his own employees as process servers, thus
saving a cost necessary in Ontario. In 95 per cent. of the cases in
Manitoba, before the summons became returnable, the debts were
settled satisfactorily out of court.

Reports Good Prospects for Canadian Trade in France
Mr. Frank Pauze, of U. Pauze & Fils, Montreal, has returned to
Canada with the other members of the government commission who

visited England, France, and Italy for the purpose of promoting trade"

with Canada. The commision made extensive enquiries as to open-
ings for exports, and also looked into the question of imports, espe-
cially those which will displace German and Austrian goods. Mr.
Pauze sailed prior to the other members, who joined him in Paris. In
addition to being a member of the commission, he represented the
Canadian Timber Products Association, on whose behalf he made
special investigations as to the opportunities for the sale of Canadian
portable houses. Mr. Pauze also, as a member of the commission,
directed his efforts to enquiries as to the openings for Canadian lum-
ber, especially in France. “The demand is immense,” he says, “but
Canadians will, if they want the trade, have to adopt the right means.
It is difficult to change trade channels, still I think the opportunity is
there if we will only go about it in the proper way. I am of opinion
that we have the lumber which will suit the market, even more so than
the products of the United States, and I also think that we can com-
pete in price. But the problems of transportation and kindred matters
will want careful consideration.”

The members of the commission were received everywhere with
the utmost cordiality. On all hands they found a desire to increase
the trade between Canada and the allied countries, the French people
being particularly anxious to promote closer business relations.

The exhibition of portable houses in Paris proved of great value,
and attracted wide attention. °

Annual Concatenation of Hoo-Hoo

The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the Concatenated Order of
Hoo-Hoo was held at Memphis, Tenn., from September 9th to 11th.
For the first time in the history of the order, the snark of the universe
was re-elected for a second year, in the person of Julius Seidel, of St.
Louis, Mo., who has made an enviable record for himself during the
past year. Mr. E. D. Tennant, of St. Louis, formerly of Winnipeg,
Man., was re-elected secretary-treasurer. The twenty-eighth annual
meeting will be held at New York on September 9th, 1917.

Snark Seidel, in his annual address, reviewed the remarkable pro-
gress of the order during the past year, and outlined many compre-
hensive plans for the work of the coming year. His address was full
of optimism and confidence in the future progress of the order.

The report of the secretary-manager, Mr. E. D. Tennant, showed
receipts of $19,342 during the year and a cash balance on hand of
$1,229. During the year there had been 39 concatenations held, at
which 338 candidates had been admitted. The statement also showed
that 3,900 members had paid their 1916 dues, and 2,739 had paid their
1915 dues.

On Saturday night, September 9th, a concatenation was held, and
a class of six kittens was initiated into the mysteries of the order. Sub-
sequently a session on the roof was held, at which 154 old cats were

‘present to enjoy themselves. A number of enjoyable automobile tours
were taken during Sunday, September 10th, and the order convened
again on Monday, September 11th, when a quantity of routine business
was put through.

Surprising Figures of Ocean Freight Rates

An interesting discussion has been going on in several Eng
newspapers in regard to the heavy ocean freight rates being pi
Ienglish importers of all kinds of goods. In the Cardiff Mail of c
date the following letter was published. It will be of consider
interest to Canadian timber exporters: :

In addition to these inflated rates of freight, very unusual and «
conditions were exacted as regards the discharge of the cargoes. The

It must not be assumed that these heavy rates of freight fall upon
importer, although they materially increase his responsibilities. — ‘They
passed on to the consumers, viz., collieries, ironworks, railways, contract«
and timber merchants in various districts. This again means increased cos

But if our own difficulties are so considerable, they are wonderfully

the prices are high. The Central Powers, in their blockaded position, cannot
do this, and are suffering thereby enced both physically and financiall; y-
We may be quite certain that our government is fully alive to all these matters,

The Hon. P. Pelletier, Agent-General for Quebec, in the ¢
an interview with a representative of the Pall Mall Gazette, expr
the opinion that a strong appeal should be made to the governme

“There are,” he said, “eighteen pulp mills in the Province of Ou :
bec, but the bulk of the produce of these mills goes to the United

States. It is practically the only market they have, although very
many of them are very anxious, indeed, to do business with Great
Britain.

“Although freights are higher in Great Britain pute to the

Within the past few months there has been a comparatively unim-

ant, but nevertheless extremely significant, incident in connection

In the past the great fruit growing parts of the Empire outside

‘The Strength of Wooden Beams

Sometimes woodworkers, lumbermen, and users of wood in gen-
al want to know just how strong a board is, or a beam, whether
ade of white pine, oak, or other material.

- To compute the strength is not always easy, and, anyway, we
e mathematics very much. It is much easier to use a table or a

The length, 5 ft., is 60 inches (column A). Run a line through
the 60 and the 1,000 (column B), and note the intersection with
column C.

Next connect the 2 (column D) with the 4 (column G), and note
the intersection with column F.

Lastly, join the intersection (column C) with the intersectiori
(column F), and the answer is found in column E. The beam will
hold a little over 700 pounds, UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED—that
is, the beam will hold a little over 140 pounds on every foot of its
length.

After using the chart once or twice you will understand its use
thoroughly, and will see how it can be used “backward” as well as
forwards. Should you want to find the depth of beam necessary to
hold a given load, for example, the depth can be found by reversing
the above process somewhat. The process is so simple that I don’t
think I need explain it. Any lumberman or woodworker can “dope it
out” in a short time without difficulty.

Here are the “safe strengths” of the principal woods used in vari-
ous woodworking industries. The factor of safety used is “ten.”
That is, the actual breaking strength of specimens in tests was ten
times as great as these figures. Of course, the safe strength should
always be used, and that is why the larger actual, unsafe strengths
are not given:

Bankers Discuss Lumber Situation

The Canadian Bank of Commerce, which publishes a monthly
circular dealing with business conditions throughout the country, has
the following to say regarding the lumber situation and the manner
in which it is being affected by labor shortage: “In many districts un-
usual difficulties will have to be faced this fall by the operators of
logging camps. Provisions are high in price and men are scarce’ Un-
der these circumstances the output of logs all over the Dominion will
be less than normal and operating costs will be very much higher. An
uncertain factor is the trend of values after the war ceases. Opinion
on this point is divided, but the majority of practical lumbermen ex-
pect that after the war there will be a steady demand for lumber at
good prices. In the meantime it is obvious that the cost of logging
during -the coming season will cause the output to be very much
smaller. In addition present stocks are low and are being steadily
drawn upon, and this will tend to prevent any serious collapse of
prices.”

Newspaper Men Want Export of Pulpwood Stopped

There has recently developed in several parts of Canada a re-
vival of the proposal to prohibit the export of all pulpwood. At pre-
sent it is only pulpwood cut on Crown lands on which'there is an
embargo, and this embargo is in each case a provincial measure,
adopted by all the provinces which own Crown lands. There are in
addition, however, immense areas of land which are owned privately.
Pulpwood from these lands can be exported without restriction. From
time to time there has been talk of a move towards getting the Fed-
eral government to enact a law covering the whele Dominion in re-
gard to the export of pulpwood. This talk has now been put in the
form of a direct recommendation by a meeting of the Alberta and
Eastern British Columbia Press Association, at a meeting held re-
cently in Calgary. .

According to a cable received from London, Sir Edward Morris,
Premier of Newfoundland, has stated that some English companies
propose to try the experiment of floating pit props across the ocean in
rafts, as has been done in the Pacific. Representatives of the companies
have sailed for Canada to charter tugs for this purpose.

A System of Accounts for Retailer:

Fundamental Principles Clearly Explained—A Valuable Report Upon

An All-Impo

Under the title of “A System of Accounts for Retail Merchants”
a valuable report has been issued by the Federal Trade Commission
of the United States. While the report deals with retailers as a gen-
eral class, the information it contains is indispensable to any retail
lumberman, and, with a few modifications to suit particular cases, the
system can be adapted to any retail business. The report may be said
to lay down the fundamental facts for the successful conduct of retail
trade. We have never seen these facts put so clearly and forcefully,

and we believe that all our retail readers will be benefited by reading

and studying the report, which we reproduce, as follows:

There is a tendency among retail merchants to conduct their
businesses without an adequate system for determining their costs.
This condition carries with it various undesirable results. In the first
place, the merchant is unable to price his goods intelligently and con-
duct his business upon sound business principles. In the second place,
he is unable, when seeking credit, to produce a correct statement of
his financial condition which would enable a banker to extend to him
the full credit to which he is entitled. He thereby limits the possible
expansion of his business.

There are several forces at work which compel the retail mer-
chant, if successful, to keep books, and the better and more compre-
hensive his methods the greater chance he has of being successful.

The first of these forces is, of course, competition, which at times
compels him to make close prices. The second, and one of vital
importance, is the attitude of the banks regarding the granting of
credit. Banks are paying more and more attention to the accounting
methods used by the merchant to whom they extend credit. They are
willing to give larger loans and very often more liberal terms to the
merchant who keeps his books in a way that enables him to show the
bank at any time just how his business is progressing. A merchant
who can show progress will undoubtedly receive more consideration
with the same amount of assets than one who cannot. Even if he is
successful but cannot show it because of his bookkeeping methods the
bank will not consider him a desirable credit risk.

Another very important point to which the bank gives considera-
tion is whether the prospective borrower is making proper provisions
for depreciation on stock, buildings, and fixtures, and his books should
be so arranged as to show the amount of these provisions. No mer-
chant can be said to be managing his business properly unless ade-
quate provision is made for depreciation.

The system of accounts outlined in this bulletin has been devised
to meet the requirements of retail merchants. The aim has been to
devise the least involved system which will give the information

rtant Problem

essential to successful management. The best system of accounts
any business is one which furnishes the information required wil
least effort.

The value derived from an adequate system of accounts is ol
ous. The greatest value is that of making comparisons and ana
differences. But before any fruitful comparison can be made be
figures of different periods or between figures of different stor
absolutely necessary that the systems be uniform. With a uni
system of accounts in use, differences in items reflect difference
conditions, while without a uniform classification, differences in
may reflect only differences in accounting classification.

In order to maintain the simplicity of the system no departmet
ization of the accounts is provided for, but any concern op
distinct departments can readily adjust the system to show thei
obtained in each department. ‘

A merchant in order to price his goods properly must |
overhead expenses. With a proper arrangement of his pes
percentage of overhead may be readily obtained. Goods not
high enough to cover this percentage are actually sold at a loss.
most convenient way of arriving at the proper percentage to add
first cost of goods for overhead i is to use the average ratio of oper
expenses to net sales covering a past period. For instance, iF a
chant’s annual sales for the last fiscal year were $25,000 a1
expense of conducting his business was $5,000, his overhead y
per cent. By adding ‘the desired percentage of profit on sales to t
overhead percentage and deducting from 100 gives the percentage
invoice cost to selling price. The invoice cost of an article diy
by this percentage gives the selling price. +

The rapidity of the turnover is a very important element in con
ducting a retail business. It is obvious that an increase in turn
goes hand in hand with an increase in profit. A slow turnover rt
be due to poorly selected stock, to overstocking, or to an i
selling organization. No effort should be spared to increase the t
over to its maximum. To ascertain the turnover divide the co:
goods sold during the year by the cost of the average stock carried.

Books of Account and Statements.

To operate the system.of accounts here outlined requires but four
books of account, namely, journal, general cash book, invoice haa
and ledger. Sales tickets and. credit tickets are used for aces ng
sales and sales returns.
From these books certain statements, particularly a ‘monthly
summary of business, a profit and loss statement, and a balance sheet,

rice concessions and crediting accounts receivable.

_ Transactions which do not go through either the cash book or

arrangement of accounts. )

Accounts with trade creditors and with trade debtors should be
arranged alphabetically, using preferably a loose leaf ledger.

Where the volume of business permits, it is advisable to use three
ledgers, a general ledger, a purchase ledger, and a sales ledger, keep-
ing controlling accounts of the purchase ledger and the sales ledger in
the general ledger.

Where only one ledger is used it should be divided into three
sections, corresponding with the above.

The balances of the purchase ledger and of the sales ledger, or of
these sections of the ledger if only one book is used, must agree with
the balances of the accounts payable account and of the accounts
receivable account. The advantage of these controlling accounts is
that the aggregate of accounts payable and of accounts receivable can
be had at any time without listing the balances of the individual
accounts.

Customers are charged with goods purchased direct from the
charge tickets. These tickets are first listed, then turned over to the
bookkeeper, who posts them to the debit of the proper accounts, list-
ing the amounts he posts, then comparing his total with that of the
first list, which must agree. Credit entries for allowances, reductions,
cash discounts, or returned goods are made from credit tickets in
exactly the same manner.

Posting to the ledger, therefore, must come from one of four
sources—the cash book, the journal, the invoice book, or the sales and
credit tickets. ° ‘.

Monthly Summary of Business.

This record, Form A, will be found very useful for monthly and
yearly comparisons of expenses and ratios. It is arranged with col-
umns for sales, both cash and credit and total, and for the various
expenses of the business. The figures on this statement are taken
from the ledger.

Each month the figures for that month should be added to the
previous total, so that the record will give the totals from the first of
the year to date as well as the monthly totals.

A Real Merchant

-He was a real merchant, or this incident would have had a differ-
ent ending.

A woman called at the yard he was managing and informed him
that she wanted to have a hardwood floor laid in her dining-room,
parlor, and bathroom, but that she had heard that oak flooring was
worth from $65 to $75 a thousand feet, and, if that was true, she wasn’t
going to pay any such price.

The yard manager didn’t say a word about the price of his floor-
ing. He got her attention off of that point quickly by asking her for
the dimensions of thé rooms. He found the parlor was about 14x 16
feet, the dining-room 12 x 14, and the bathroom 6 x 8 feet, and figured
that about 550: feet of flooring would do the work.

“Madam,” he said, “I can furnish you with a fine grade of oak
flooring, enough to lay those three floors, for $35.”

“You can!” the customer almost shouted: “Why, that’s a whole
lot less than I thought it would cost. Is the flooring all right?”

, MES; it is all right. Come out here in our hardwood room and
look at it.”

He took her out, showed her the flooring, showed her a specimen
about a yard square he had for exhibition purposes, which was nicely
finished and polished, glistening brightly.

He booked the order right there, arranged to select a carpenter
who was an expert at laying oak flooring, and sent the woman away
feeling that she had saved a lot of money.

And he got $65 per thousand for the flooring he sold her.—Retail

How To File a Hand Saw

“How to File a Hand Saw,” is the title of an exceptionally inter-
esting booklet recently issued by the Simonds Mfg. Company, Fitch-
burg, Mass., and the Simonds Canada Saw Company, Limited, Mont-
real,.2.G): The information in the book is set forth briefly and clearly
in five lessons. The first lesson is entitled “What is a Hand Saw?”
and gives one a practical reply to this important question. The suc-
ceeding lessons are as follows:—“How do Hand Saws Cut?” “What
is the Way to File a Saw?” “What Further Care Should be Given?”
What are the Tests of a Good Hand Saw?” Under these headings
very full information is given and it is put in such a manner that an
amateur can easily understand it. Good illustrations are also included
showing exactly what is of importance in connection with each les-
son. Any further information desired will be gladly furnished by
the company upon application.

Retailers of U.S. Organize Association

Many Cities Represented in National Body Formed at Chicago Congress—Ambitious
Declaration of Principles Adopted

One of the most important.steps in connection with the organiza-
tion of lumber associations in the United States took place on Septem-
ber 11th, at Chicago, when the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Asso-
ciation was formed at a special congress held in that city. The organ-
ization, as established at the meeting, is composed of representative
lumber dealers from fifteen of the principal cities in the United States.

The meeting was called by Edward Hines, president of the [d-
ward Hines Lumber Company, Chicago, and there were in attendance
ninety of the most prominent retail dealers in the country. The cities
represented included Buffalo, Detroit, Green Bay (Wis.), Milwaukee,
Pittsburgh, St. Paul, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Kansas City, Louisville,
Minneapolis, St. Louis, Dayton, and Chicago. Fred J. Robinson, of
Detroit, was elected president, Julius Seidel of St. Louis first vice-
president, and E. A. Diebold of Pittsburgh second vice-president. [if-
teen directors, one from each city represented, were also elected. The
association will employ a secretary to handle the promotion and edu-
cation work that is contemplated. It is proposed to organize branches
of the association in every city that has a population of over 50,000.

Among the subjects discussed at the organization meeting were:
The improvement of trade ethics, protection of the intérests of retail
lumber dealers, the exploitation of the use of wood for the purposes
for which it is best suited, and the protection of the consuming public
against the sale to it of grades inferior to those ordered. One of the
first steps of the association was to go on record in favor of the trade-
marking of all lumber products, so as to show in what mill they are

_produced, and the marking of the grade to insure the consumer that
he is getting exactly what he asks for. The association will co-operate
with the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association with a view
to promoting the interests of the lumber industry as a whole.

Declaration of Business Ethics

The declaration of business ethics and business methods agreed
upon by the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association covers a
wide range of subjects, of the utmost importance, and while it is drawn
up with special reference to conditions in the United States, nearly
everything in it has a special significance to the trade in Canada, so
that we expect it will be interesting to all our retail readers. The
declaration is as follows :—

Seé. 1. The retail yard lumber dealers having made investments
im necessary equipment and stock for the purpose of engaging in the
business of supplying the needs of a particular community with lum-
ber, the association believes they should be protected in their legiti-
mate business of assembling lumber of various kinds and retailing the
same to the public, and that the manufacturer should recognize retail
lumber dealers as the proper agents for the distribution of his manu-
factured product.

This association, therefore, earnestly protests against the retail
yard lumber dealers being compelled to compete with those manu-
facturers and wholesalers whose lumber they purchase, and declare
that it is the duty of retail yard lumber dealers to take all lawful
measures to ascertain the names of the manufacturers and whole-
salers of lumber who solicit or accept orders which legitimately belong
to the retail lumber dealers and who injure the retail lumber business
by selling, directly or indirectly, to the contracting and consuming

trade.
Dishonest Practices

Sec. 2. Evils now exist in the lumber industry arising from the
dishonest practice of mixing grades, giving short measure or misre-
presenting the character and quality of lumber, which is chiefly done
by wholesalers and in a lesser degree by manufacturers. The asso-
ciation urges all retail yard lumber dealers to condemn such practices
and to take all lawful steps to ascertain who make it a practice to mix
grades, give short measure or misrepresent the character and quality
of the lumber they offer for sale, in order that the retail lumber yard
dealers may protect themselves and protect the public whom they
serve against such dishonest practices.

The membership of the association of lumber manufacturers affili-
ated with the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association is made
up of manufacturers of various kinds of woods, who stand for uniform
grades, for full and honest count, for fair and equitable adjustment
of disputes, and the highest business ethics, and who guarantee, so
far as possible, the character of the lumber they sell; and the members
of this association declare it to be their experience that more satis-
factory relations will be brought about by confining purchases to such
manufacturers, rather than dealing with manufacturers and whole-
salers who are guilty of the foregoing dishonest practices.

Sec. 3. This association heartily endorses and will support the

‘up at all times of a large amount of rolling stock and the continua

efforts of all associations of lumber manufacturers which are devis
ing ways and means for the branding of the product of their member
and thereby assuring, within a reasonable variation, the integrity
the grade, as well as making possible the identification of the s
with consequent protection to the retail dealer and the consumin
public.
Trade Mark

Sec: 4. This association recommends that a national trade-mz

be adopted for the use of the members of the association.

Advertising Lumber

Sec. 5. The retail lumber dealers recognize that their i
lies in the sale of lumber and they are directly benefited by
vertising campaigns which are being conducted by the National
ber Manufacturers’ Association, and by the several associati
lumber manufacturers affliated with the National Lumber
facturers’ Association, for the promotion of the use of lumber.
association, therefore, most heartily endorses all efforts direc
the promotion of the use of lumber and commends those mar
turers who are aiding such promotion by the financial support:
they are giving to the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Associat

This association approves the efforts of the National Lu:
Manufacturers’ Association in advertising the good qualities of
ber and believes that such work should be supplemented by aggres
local campaigns in the various cities whereby the sale of lumber may
be promoted and its good and useful qualities fully expounded to
public and its use increased. bbodeettt

This association recommends to the manufacturers .of
that they place upon their office stationery and advertising mat
the information that they are members of or affiliated with the Natio
Lumber Manufacturers’ Association; and recommends that the m
bers of the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association place t
their office stationery and advertising matter the information that
are members of the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association.

Restrictions in the Use of Lumber — 5.
Sec. 6. This association pledges its support to the members of

the association of lumber manufacturers to do what it consistent
and legally can to aid them in combating all unjust and illegal effo
which may be made to restrict unreasonably the use of lumber in a
district or community. :

Shipments from Retail Yards
Sec. 7. Believing strongly in ethical business methods in fair
and legitimate competition, this association declares it to be its judg-
ment that yard lumber dealers who ship materials to contractors or
consumers located outside of their own territory are not pursu
ethical business methods and are not engaged in fair and legitimate
competition. - * ae
Resolutions : =
Whereas, great damage to the lumber industry has resulted by —
reason of the shipment from manufacturing points of material either
poorly manufactured or of inferior wood or not up to specification or
grade; and ry
Whereas, such business methods have greatly injured the repu-
tation of lumber as a building material and have caused much lo:
of business by the consequent use of substitutes; and "
Whereas, the members of this body, standing close to the con
sumer in the lumber trade, are determined upon giving to the
sumer at all times material fully up to specifications; therefore be
Resolved, that we herewith approve the efforts now being 1
by the various associations of lumber manufacturers to improve
elevate the lumber business by more careful manufacture and g1
and that we in particular commend the movement hereafter to b
all stock showing its kind and grade; and be it further
Resolved, that we condemn as subversive of the best inte:
of the public and the trade the practice which has grown up
shipping of unsold cars in transit, resulting as it does in the

forcing upon the market and the consumer of great quantities of
material of inferior quality and manufacture and in the shipping of
cars in transit the original shipper and point of shipment being gen-
erally concealed, thus making it impossible for the buyer to know what
class of stock he is getting or by whom manufactured ; and be it further

Resolved, that the true interest of the public and the consumer
will be best subserved by refusal hereafter to purchase any materia
so offreed upon cars in transit. F

The One Price Idea in Retailing
_ A Plan That Can Be Worked Out With Benefit to
: Merchant and Customer
_ The manager of a large retail company, who put into practice a
-“one-price” idea and found it a great success, refers to it in a letter to
his customers and prospective customers in the following manner :
_ “We have a special service department in our general office, made
9 of building experts, architects, and draughtsmen, whose duty it is
esign buildings especially adapted for use in our territory, with
tial lists using the best grades in construction for the purpose

f our customers cannot find in our plan book just what they
but can give us a suggestion of their ideas, our service depart-
will plan until our customers get just what they wish. If a cus-
is thinking of building and sees a picture anywhere of a home
uts him, but which does not appear in our plan book, or if the
ment or size in the building he has picked out is not just what
ts, our service department will work out this idea for him in
land submit it.
any times you see a home that you think would be just what
id like to have, yet it looks so attractive that you feel the cost
be more than you would care to put into a building. This may
e true if you avail yourself of the service our company is able
you, which is free of charge and for you to use for this purpose.

ork out problems for the arrangement and design of farm buildings.
Ve want you to come to us for honest counsel as to the best materials
) for such purposes. -
Illustrate my meaning more clearly I will ask, ‘If you were
iy a diamond, would you not go to a man in whom you had im-
licit confidence both as to his honesty and ability to judge diamond
and value? Yet when it comes to buying lumber most people
ume to a lumber yard with grade marks on their bills—a business
lat we know requires just as expert judges to determine grades as the
diamond business. This may seem a pretty broad statement, but |
think I can prove it to you.
“There are three sources of lumber supply for our district.
_ “The spread in price from the lowest to the highest is something
ke $41! Each grade is a different price. Each grade is good for a
ain purpose. They may look alike, but one will be worth nearly
as much as another. Surely great care must be taken by the
_ *©A manufacturer of lumber in one district cuts four or more dif-
ter kinds of trees into merchantable lumber, from which expert
ber graders find twenty-one or more different grades of lumber.
“In another district a manufacturer cuts five or more different

from which expert graders find eighteen grades of lumber.
“A grade of lumber is determined by experts in value according
) the use to which it is to be put. The expert grader must have expert
dee of the uses of different kinds of wood, the different grades
f wood, and every known use of wood, in order to determine the value

The difference in value between the lowest and highest of the
our grades to-day is $38, and the difference in value between
lowest and highest of the eighteen grades to-day is $35.
33 ‘his means that we have 63 grades of lumber from which to
our various yards, with a range in value of over $40 from the
to the lowest.
t me go a little further in this line of thought. I said that
grades were determined by expert graders in value according
use to which the lumber is to be put. The product of different
f trees using the same wording for grading cannot be commer-
a. for the same purpose because of the peculiar qualities of
ious woods. This will give you an idea as to the complexity of

using it to-day is simply because the men who are doing the building
in each of these cities to-day served as an apprentice under the carpen-
ter and contractor who was doing it this way twenty years ago. He
in turn served his apprenticeship under the carpenter who did the
same thing twenty years before, and so on.

“Old-time lumbermen themselves did not teach the user the best
material to use for the different purposes for the least money. They
worked along the lines of least resistance. Our local managers are
taught to be salesmen, and not order-takers, and to sell our customers
the right material for their different uses. When they do this con-
scientiously and honestly, our customers come to us for advice, and
profit by doing so.

“No matter what price is quoted, there is always some grade that
can be supplied that will fit the price made. The customer doesn’t buy
what he really intended to buy. He invariably loses by dickering.

“Users of lumber have been in the habit of getting a lumber bill
made out for a prospective building. Usually this is done without
plans. It is impossibe for any man to draw up an accurate material
list without plans. The user then goes from dealer to dealer to get
this bill ‘figured.’ He only knows the comparative value by prices
given him in a lump sum by these different dealers. I think I have
made plain how one-sided this kind of a proposition is, since there are
so many different sources of supply, with so many kinds of trees, with
an endless number of grades requiring experts to distinguish them
apart and with so great a difference in value between the grades. Why
cannot a dealer sell a bill of lumber for the price you wish to pay for
it and take his assortment of grades from his different sources of
supply that will fill the bill as sold by him at a handsome profit ?”

A Severe Report Upon U.S. Lumber Industry

The United States Forest Service has completed a summary re-
port of its study of the lumber industry, which, according to advance
information contains a severe but constructive criticism of lumber-
men and their methods. The report, it is understood, takes the posi-
tion that the lumbermen generally have not known how to run their
own business. It shows that the lumbermen have been operating in
a haphazard way for years. Not knowing what it cost them to manu-

facture lumber, it is said, they did not know at what price to sell it. .

The result has been, according to authorities, that there has been
little lumber sold in the United States since 1907 at a profit. |

It is shown in the report, according to people qualified to state,
that there have been some exceptions to the general rule, particularly
in the case of the cypress manufacturers and the Northern pine lum-
bermen, more especially the former. By reason of organization, scien-
tific methods and extensive advertising, it is said to be shown in the
report, they have demonstrated that they know more about their busi-
ness than other lumbermen generally know about their respective
lines of business. Cypress and Northern pine have been selling at
prices sufficient to cover expenses and provide a profit, it is said
by government experts.

The price of stumpage has gone so high that it is said to be
demonstrated in the report that there is little chance for the business
of many lumber concerns to get on a profitable basis:

New Invention May Save Shingle Industry

According to information in the hands of the West Coast Lum-
bermen’s Association, an Iowa pharmatist, after seventeen months
experimenting, has produced a liquid which makes wooden shingles

absolutely fireproof. In a test of the new fireproofing liquid, made _

at the University of Iowa by the inventor, a block of wood one-half
inch thick was saturated with the fireproofing and then placed in
running water for twenty-four hours. After that it was thoroughly
dried again and held for one hour over a Bunsen burner, which had
a temperature of between 700 and 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, that being
a much greater heat, it is said, than is developed in a conflagration.
The wood was not burned and only charred very slightly at the point
of the fame. The new compound is reported to be sufficiently low
in cost to make it practical in connection with shingle manufacture,
and when a shingle is saturated the moisture drys out, leaving an in-

soluble mineral fireproofing substance in the fibre cells of the wood,

which cannot be washed out with water and is said absolutely to pre-
vent combustion.

Vessels Not Completed But Already Chartered

The great scarcity of tonnage on the Pacific Coast is clearly illus-
trated by the fact that the wooden auxiliary schooners now. under con-
struction at the Wallace ship yards at North Vancouver, for H. W.
Brown and Company, of Vancouver, have already been chartered to
carry lumber from Vancouver to Australia. One schooner has been
chartered to carry lumber from Hastings mill to Sydney at 120s, load-
ing in March or April. Another has been chartered to carry lumber
to Sydney at 120s or to Melbourne at 130s, loading in December or
January.

The Band Mill and Saw

When the bandmill and carriage track are in correct alignment
the saw should be carefully inspected to see that everything is in
good shape. Tension in the saw is supposed to be of the greatest
importance, but in fifteen years’ experience in filing saws for fast
mills that cut both hard and soft woods tension is shown to be only
one of the things that must be looked after carefully. There are as
many ways of running tension as there are filers, but the following
method will allow the bandsaw to stand up to the greatest rate of feed
and at the same time prevent cracks.

Extreme tension is as bad as low tension and to find out how
deep to go in the case of 12-inch saws see that the saw is perfectly
levelled and tension from edge with a 45-foot circle gauge, making
the curve fit snugly when the gauge is held square with the saw on
pressing it down. Then roll or stretch the entire saw lightly on both
edges to release the strain on the extreme edges as this treatment
will push back the strain line an inch and prevent cracking.

Then run the saw for a few days until either the centre, quarters
or edges develop bright lines or spots from “riding.” These spots can
be easily detected by holding the saw at such an angle as to allow
the light to shine directly upon the blade. If riding develops after
putting in tension with a 45-foot circle gauge go deeper with either
a 40 or 36-foot circle gauge and if bright spots still appear after run-

If bright spots still develop more than
1 inch from the.edges the band wheels need refacing or grinding per-

ning use a 32-circle gauge.

fectly flat. When the bright lines disappear from the centre. and
quarters and only show | inch from the edges the correct tension for
the mill has been secured.

Badly worn wheels require more tension than flat ones. In fact,
the centre or quarters of a saw should never come in contact with
the face of the bandwheels, for when the saw is fitted by the method
recommended the saw is air cushioned and sustains the strain only
on the edges, making it impossible for the saw to snake or cut bad
lumber.

The shape of the saw teeth and the swage have a great deal
to do with the proper running of the saw. The sawdust must be
expelled when it is cut out of the timber and to do this the gullets
must be as round as possible. Sketch A shows a very successfully
shaped saw tooth for hardwoods and mixed woods: B is similar to
A but with only 15g-inch space, which is especially good for all species
of pine. C shows a tooth ruined by the filer grinding back into the
swaged-point harder than grinding down on the back of the tooth.
D is an ideal tooth for the resaw. FE will give especially good service
when the resaw is sawing oak. F is a good pine swage point., G
shows a type of side cutter. H is the best swage point for hardwood.

Oak Flooring and Floor Laying Troubles
By W. L. Claffey*

k flooring troubles originate from many causes. Oak flooring
in a scientific way, and the different processes from the rough
ber to the finished flooring are subjected to the most careful
on and scientific tests. The object of this article is to cite
ases that have come under our observation through an expert
ector whose sole duty is to investigate complaints on oak flooring.

expensive residence, chiefly caused by the dealer, who stored the oak
flooring in an open shed, exposed to the elements. All the ends
absorbed moisture fully one-sixteenth of an inch. When this flooring
was taken to the jobs is naturally left large crevices, starting at the
ends down to about twelve inches. When all the facts of the case
were presented to the architect, he placed the blame upon the dealer
for the improper housing of oak flooring.

Floor layers, before they start on an oak flooring laying job should
invariably make a rule to do some examining work before proceeding.
First, examine the condition of the plaster and the sub-floor, to ascer-
tain if they are thoroughly dry. Second, examine the oak flooring to
find out if it has absorbed any moisture at the lumber yard or in tran-
sit. Third, if in winter, see that the temperature of the rooms is about
70 degrees, and that they have been that warm for a week or ten days
with the oak flooring in bundles in the different rooms. If this is done
it will eliminate a great many of the flooring troubles and save
unnecessary expenses.

The Value of Lumber in Home Building

The modern system of merchandising building materials is to lay
emphasis on what the materials will produce—the complete structure
—instead of-on the materials themselves. In ‘selling material for
specific purposes, it is, or should be, the purpose of the dealer to point
out results rather than to lay stress on the quality of the material as it
appears in the unfinished stage. In lumber—to which this article per-
tains—the dealer may tell the prospective buyer that a certain kind of
material will make good interior finish, but to prove it he uses samples
that have been finished to appear as they will when they are in place
in the building. A number of associations of manufacturers have
come to the aid of the dealer by furnishing free samples of their woods
finished with various stains for the purpose of illustrating what the

wood will look like when the building is completed. This is what -

interests the builder more than anything else. He is buying a home—
not the material that will make a home. And for the average home,
if not for the most pretentious mansion, wood is the most satisfactory
material, for both out and inside.

The Ohio Association of Retail Lumber Dealers is promoting this
idea by the circulation of a pamphlet written by a Cleveland lumber-
man, and the statements contained in this pamphlet should be made
talking points by every dealer in building material, for lumber is the
chief article in the stock of this class of merchants. Some of these
points follow.

Wood is the most available material at all times and in all places. |

It is always ready, and can be secured upon a moment's notice, for a
complete stock can be found in every community.
can be moved, repaired, or rebuilt more easily and more cheaply than
structures of any other material. It is easily worked with common
tools. It is a non-conductor of heat and electricity, as compared with
metal, and a non-conductor of moisture, as compared with ordinary
concrete and brick. It has varied and beautiful figure which no other
material will ever compete with, for furniture, house trimming, and
general decorative purposes, and it is the cheapest material for home
building on the market.

Perhaps one of the best arguments in favor of wood for home
building is the fact that from time to time the color scheme of the
-home can be easily changed. Ideas and styles change, and wood
homes can be easily changed to meet these requirements.

It has been argued that wood does not give the appearance nor
the service demanded by those who desire permanency. The answer
to that argument is found in the hundreds of wood homes built one or
two hundred, or more, years ago, which, properly cared for, have with-

~ stood the ravages of time and are to-day among the best types of
architectural beauty to be found in this country.

Asa part of this argument it is claimed that homes of wood are
invitations to fire destruction, and it is all based on the statement that
wood will burn, while the other materials urged for home building
will not. This is a hopeless argument when the effort is made to
prove that wood homes are a fire menace. Statistics of the large cities,
where the fire hazard is greatest, do not develop the fact that there is
sufficient danger of loss by fire in frame dwellings to substantiate the
statement, or to influence the home builder to the choice. of other
materials.

If statistics proved any such thing the fire insurance companies
would have long ago taken cognizance of it.
rates on detached homes of frame construction are as low as on struc-
tures of any other material similarly located. Interested parties have
of late been working with city officials to limit the use of wood, and
particularly the use of wood shingles, in the building of residences,
but, though they have been successful in a number of instances, they
have not been able to succeed through the presentation of competent
evidence to support their cause. Even in business and factory build-
ings it is recognized that fa¢tory construction, properly cared for, is
not inferior as a fire hazard, to construction of other materials —Mis-

British Timber and the War
_ We have been visiting several
* of the Canadian and other camps
where home-grown timber is be-
_ ing felled and converted, and must
‘certainly say that the work, gen-
erally speaking, is being carried
Out in a practical and business-
like manner. What surprised us
most at every felling station was
the quality of timber being dealt
with, much of that at Windsor,
the Scotch fir in particular, being
“quite as large and of equally good
“quality to any that has been sent
from abroad, a fact that was free-
_ ly commented on by several man-
agers of woodlands with whom
we were in company. Some very
fine timber is being cut from the
hillsides ‘above Gwydyr Castle, in
Wales, the larch especially being
remarkably clean, of great length,
and the timber first-class in qual-
ity. Whole plantations are here
being swept away, and the visitor
after the war will find a sadly
_ changed landscape away amongst
_ these Welsh hills that he loved so
well. But the exigencies of the
war know no bounds. In the New
Forest the Portuguese tree-fellers,
* some 26 in number, are doing use-
ful work, and the rapidity with
_ which the trees are felled and pre-
_ pared for use is simply marvellous.
_ They seem to be an industrious
lot, working from dawn to dark,
and evidently subsisting on what
_ the English tree-fellér would con-
sider as meagre fare.——Timber

yelops a beauty unsurpassed even
by mahogany, which demands ar-
tificial coloring in bringing out its
rich effect. And as for oak, natur-
al, or artificially colored, it cannot
be compared with black walnut
for beauty, durability or any other
qualities that make a piece of fur-
niture which satisfies.

Fortunately for the lovers of
black walnut—and they are as
numerous as those who have en-
joyed the beauty of it in their
homes—it is said the American
supply is far from exhausted ; and
on the other hand, unfortunately
there is such a demand for it in
the manufacture of small arms as
must unquestionably boost the
price of it. Enough black walnut
is consumed in making a single
gun stock to make a couple of
chair legs.

Many a strong, dignified, beau-
tiful and substantial piece of wal-

to the garret within the last
twenty years, and often to make
way for a piece of cheap mahog-

it. Housewives will naturally be-
gin to realize their error, now that
black walnut is coming again in-

be a ransacking of garrets to haul

Review of Current Trade Conditions —

Ontario

The Ontario lumber trade has been fairly encouraging during the
past fortnight. Apparently the retail trade throughout the country
districts and also in the small towns is finding quite a fair demand,
and as most of them have very small stocks on hand, the improvement
is felt also by the wholesale trade and the manufacturers.. One pro-
minent wholesale firm report that they are getting plenty of orders—
in fact, considerably more than they can handle, on account of the
scarcity of cars and of labor for shipment at the mills. This firm, how-
ever, tell us that they are managing to make delivery on a fair number
of orders, and that if retailers will exercise a moderate amount of
patience they will be able to keep them fairly well stocked up. The
actual demand at present, according to this firm and others from
whom we have received reports, is just about normal for this time of
year. One firm, in fact, advises us that it is receiving more orders
than it would expect to receive in an ordinary year during the early
fall months, and that apparently the war situation is not preventing
farmers and others who require lumber from spending some of their
money upon it. This is not an extraordinary situation, because it is
simply a reflection of the fact that Ontario farmers have been doing
very well of late years, particularly during the past year and a half to
two years, and in the great majority of cases now have quite ‘sufficient
money to spend some of it upon buildings without feeling the pinch.
“Every place we go to in the course of our visits to the trade they seem
to be waiting for us now, and not sorry to have us call upon them. A
short time ago we were not really very welcome in many of the places
we called.” This is the way another wholesale firm sums up the situa-
tion. Retailers, however, are not showing any inclination to lay in
stocks by way of speculation. They have contracted the habit of
buying simply what they know they can sell, and are continuing this
practice at present. It is not unlikely, however, that by next spring,
at the latest, the increasing cost of production for lumber will have its
effect upon this situation also, and that some wise retailers will lay in
more extensive stocks than usual, in anticipation of considerable price
advances. The chief demand at present is for pine for various finish-
ing-up purposes in connection with buildings started earlier in the
year. There is a fair demand for shingles, and prices are about steady.

Eastern Canada

Some improvement is noted in the export business from St. John,
N.B., both for trans-Atlantic and American markets. Fair quantities
of deals, scantlings and boards are being disposed of to the Allies,
presumably for trench uses. Shipments of this nature recently
amounted to about 7,000,000 feet in one week. There is very little
trade with England at present for the purposes of home consump-
tion. Stocks of English deals are rather heavy and the trade is quiet.

The production of stock by portable mills in New Brunswick
during the coming winter is likely to be heavier than was expected
a short time ago. Portable mills now figure that they can sell their
season’s cut of deals at from $18 to $19. The high cost of operation
in the woods, however, will necessarily keep down the volume of pro-
duction from this source.

Local trade at St. John is quiet. A fair amount of repair work
is in progress, but very few large buildings are going up. Low grade
stocks are quiet and spruce boards are firmer. Shingles are prac-
tically off the market.

The lumber market in New England is very firm. Spruce dimen-
sion has advanced to $28 and random shows an advancing tendency:
In fact the price of random has stiffened to the extent of about $1
per thousand of late. Pine box lumber is very firm and shows an
advance of at least $1 per thousand, probably nearer $2. There is a
strong demand for spruce lumber at Boston and a good demand for
pine box lumber. Intermediate grades of pine such as common are
also showing a tendency to advance.

The outlook in connection with the building trade at Boston
is exceptionally good. Great activity is expected this fall and further
price advances are predicted. The hardwood market at Boston con-
tinues firm and fairly active throughout the list: Maple is meeting
with particularly good demand and prices are stiffening. Much the
same may be said of plain oak and ash. Stocks of dry ash and maple
at mill points are light. Current quotations on Ist and 2nds inch
include the following :—basswood $44, maple $41 to $43, plain oak
$63 to $65, quartered oak $89 to $91, red birch $57 to $59, sap birch
$47 to $49, white ash $56 to $60. There is a better feeling for hem-
lock at Boston and higher prices are being asked in some cases. Fairly

United States y

The car shortage in the United States has become more
nounced during the past fortnight than it was previously and ¢
plaints are now made from practically all parts of the country. '
lumber industry is suffering along with all other lines of busin
Southern pine manufacturers report an increased demand,
ders in excess of production by 19.72 per cent., and in exce
ments by 10.46 per cent. Many of the southern mills 1
orders coming to hand than they can take care of. An
strong demand is reported for heavy construction timbers
prices. It is reported that the British Government is in the
for seven million feet of yellow pine in 6 x 6 up to 35 cubic
No definite reports have been received, however, as to the
of business. The export trade in yellow pine continues to suffer a
account of the lack of vessels for shipment. Otherwise there woul
be a very heavy export movement: ae tl

Manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest are disappointed to s
extent in regard to the volume of yard stock buying. There
increased enquiry, however, for car material and for railroad
struction material and many mills are receiving more actual cut
orders than for some time past. The latest weekly market rey
of the West Coast‘ Lumbermen’s Association shows some cu
ment in production, 110 mills reporting a production of 68,254,296
feet for the week ending September 16th, which is 11,250,407 feet, or
15.27 per cent. below normal. The rail trade shows shipments ex-
ceeding orders to the extent of 2,375,000 feet, or 5.19 per cent.

The local market at Chicago shows no important change, but
the improvement recently reported is well held. This applies chiefly
to hardwoods. A slight increase is being asked for yellow pine by
some in the trade, but others do not’ think the business at present
justifies it, as local yards have large yellow pine stocks. Hemlock
is moving well. The white pine business at Chicago has been quiet
of late and confined chiefly to low grade stuff for the box factories.
Enquiries for upper grades are numerous, but stocks are hard to find.
There is not much activity in northern pine at Buffalo, but the trade
is about normal for this season. There is no buying in advance in
large quantity, nor is any expected until after the election in Novem-
ber. The lower grades are in good demand on account of the large
volume of building in progress. A good volume of business is reported —
in northern pine from North Tonawanda, with orders on the increase’
and an indication of price advances. Receipts are large. ae

The hardwood situation is improving steadily. The August sales
report of the Hardwood Manufacturers’ Association shows a greatly
increased movement as compared with July. Prices for most of the
woods are reported stronger. Factories in northern territory are
stocking up heavily. Birch and maple are strong and low grade birch
and basswood are being cleaned up. bs

Great Britain

The latest information available from Great Britain indicates tha’
the fall in values of wood goods previously reported has comé to
end and there is a general feeling that an all-round improvement m
be counted upon. A fairly active trade is looked for during
autumn, though, of course, the greatest volume of trade will b
in connection with government work. There has been consid
activity on the spot market at London of late and holders of
are firm in their ideas of values, partly on account of the scare
offerings. Dock stocks at London are below normal, but a fair ¢
tity of wood is on hand in importers’ and merchants’ yards.
best demand continues to be for the large dimensions, espec
good quality deals. Scantlings, on the other hand, are easier. P:
recently have shown extensive fluctuations and anyone selling at p
sent figures seems to be taking a loss.

At Liverpool, the trade continues rather quiet, but better things
are to be hoped for during the fall. Freight room is rapidly becom-
ing more difficult to secure and it is expected that rates will soon
be up again to their former high levels. Arrivals have recently been

almost nil. The success of the Allies in gradually pushing the enemy
back is leading some of the trade to figure upon the demand that can
be expected for lumber to be used in rebuilding northern France and
Belgium. Operators are already commencing to make the necessary
preparations for this business.

Several parcels of Quebec birch planks and boards recently ar-
rived for Robert Cox & Company. Prices are firm and a fair enquiry
is reported. Stocks of St. John and Halifax birch planks are light.

Market Correspondence

St. John Foreign Trade Improving

St. John, N.B., Sept. 21—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)—
During the last two weeks the market has shown quite an improve-
ment, in so far as foreign and American business is concerned. The
allies are again in the market, making purchases of deals, scantlings,
and boards, supposedly for trench warfare. Some six to seven million
feet have been shipped during the last two weeks from this port. The
buyers at St. John claim that the English houses are not coming on
the market for any material for home consumption. The stocks of
English deals are heavy, and trade none too good; so it is in reality to
the allies that sellers here are looking for a market.

A considerable change has taken place in preparing for next win-
ter’s portable mill operations. A while ago it was said there would
practically be no operating for winter business for 1916-17 as far as
portable mills were concerned. Now they claim they can sell at $18
to $19 per M for their cut of deals, and are going in quite heavily. Of
course, the cut will be light, as labor is going to be scarce and high in
cost, and this, with the high price of food of all kinds, will deter many
from doing anything at all.

The usual cut will be planned for on the St. John and tributaries,
but how it is going to be pulled from the yards, even if cut, is the seri-
ous end of the business. Choppers are asking $35 to $0 per month,
Teamsters, etc., are asking high wages, and feed for horses is also
extremely high; so the price of logs must, of necessity, be greater in
some respects than before. Some localities may not be affected as
others.

Locally the trade is quiet. While there is a large amount of
repair work, very few large buildings of any kind are being put up
throughout this section. All low-grade stocks are hard to move.
Spruce boards are firmer than they were, owing to demand abroad.

The market is practically bare of shingles, and will remain so for
some time to come, as logs are about sawed out.

Montreal Trade Experiencing a Fair Demand

Montreal, September 25th; (Special to the Canada Lumberman):
There is a fair demand for box lumber, especially for birch, but out-
side of this trade is dull. It is expected that some very large orders
for shell boxes will be placed next month. At present the majority of
firms holding contracts are behind with their deliveries. Companies
making furniture are busy.

Trade has been seriously interfered with by an embargo on
C: P. R. terminals and by the scarcity of labor. Great difficulty has
occurred in securing cars from various points, this adding to the un-
fortunate position whereby certain mills are unable to give prompt
shipment owing to the labor shortage.

The anticipated short cut has already resulted in prices stiffening
generally. Unless there is a radical change, it is certain that quota-
- tions will have a substantial rise. In addition to the smaller cut, the
serious advance in the cost of provisions and labor will have to be
taken into account in fixing values. Besides, the men will probably
not be as efficient as before. They will be more independent, and
knowing the difficulty of obtaining men may lessen their output
Taking all these factors into consideration, one lumberman expresses
the opinion that the cost of getting lumber will be 100 per cent. greater
than last year.

The shipments to the United Kingdom continue to be ona small
scale. Space is not only limited, due to government demands, but
there is a difficulty in obtaining cars. Traffic is congested in Mont-
real, and there is great delay in securing supplies. Freight rates
are almost stationary. Reports from the other side state that the
market shows little improvement, and some shippers have, in con-
sequence, refrained from sending lumber. A large order for British
Government account has been received.

A keen demand for all the sulphite produced has resulted in prices
again advancing. Advices from England state that the market there
is very buoyant, with buyers for all that is in sight. Canadian ex-
ports to the United States have lately shown a large increase. The

There is no change of importance to note from Manchester. Hic
are firmer, but very little cif or f.o.b. business is reported. Th
freight market shows an upward tendency. At Glasgow, the trac
has been quiet of late. Spruce is reported as one of the weak sp
especially in the narrower sizes, of which imports have been heay
For 9-in. and wider stock, however, prices are steady. The moy
ment of Quebec pine ‘ex quay” has been on a fair scale, but me
of it is going into store. Birch is quiet both in logs and planks.

for any factory would be sec ured by a compilation of cost figures gath-
ered in that factory. And it is a fact that this condition becomes more
practical the oftener each kind of work is repeated. Careful compari-
sons of similar work, taken through the cost accounts, leads me to
believe that the use of a single example for a figuring basis is a very
risky thing to do, for it is a common occurrence to find quite a wide
difference in the cost of similar articles and quantities.

Before taking up some of the reasons why we cannot always use
our cost figures in estimating, let us look at a few of the conditions
and circumstances which are apt to modify any one example of work
put through the mill. In considering the cost of mill work, let us
remember ‘that our totals are made up of three principal divi isions, each
of which is so complex in character that we can very seldom say, “This
cost figure is absolutely correct.” The three items are labor, material,
and overhead expense.

First, considering labor, we find rather a ragged division between
labor and overhead, the rule being to charge up to the job all the labor
of skilled mechanics, and perhaps the labor of bringing in lumber from
the yard and the labor of crating and packing. You will notice that |
say “perhaps,” for.some concerns coming under my personal notice
have carried the handling of lumber from the yard and the crating in
the overhead.

Another item of dispute is that of billing and detailing. Some
concerns will put this work all in the overhead, but this practice is
obviously wrong, as we may see by comparing the work of billing out
$100 worth of cases and $100 worth of moldings. The billing time on
the mouldings should not exceed thirty minutes, while the case work
might easily - require a whole day to bill and detail.

The reason I call attention to this is that when the billing, detail-
ing and superitendence are carried in the overhead and spread on all
work as a percentage, the mouldings will show less profit and the case
work more than they have really earned. In other words, the esti-
mator will have to use his judgment here to equalize the error in over-
head.

After determining which workmen are to be figured on the pro-
ductive list, the next and most difficult problem in all cost accounting
work is to get correct reports of time charged to the various jobs.
This statement is made advisedly, and the extreme difficulty in pro-
curing reliable records of workmen’s time has induced more ‘than one
factory to change their methods time after time, and some of them to
abandon cost-keeping except as a matter of individual tests. This may
sound foolish to most factory experts, but after we have shown that
the mill’s selling price cannot often be determined by its cost sheets, it
will appear that only the data known to be correct is of any real value
as a guide to pricing or as a spur to better methods of manufacture.

If we want to know how much it costs the odd-work mill to make
stock doors in lots of 50 or 100, it is comparatively easy to keep time
on this one item and have confidence in its accuracy. We can repeat
this item until we have sufficient check, and can say that our cost per
door is so-and-so-much, manufactured in convenient lots. We can
apply this information to any lot of doors we figure which approxi-
mates the circumstances of manufacture already recorded. It is
equally easy to determine the cost of sash in different styles and
quantities, without burdening the mill with a blanket cost on every-
thing done.

A critic might say that in recording costs on specific items only -

no record will be made of the waste time which necessarily comes in
between jobs, but this can be estimated at one time as well as another.
The misleading part of this feature in a general cost system is that an
hour of lost time may be accumulated on a job which normally should
require but thirty minutes of actual work.

The writer remembers the circumstances of three batches of out-
side frames going through the mill at the same time! one of which
amounted to about $1,500, another about half that much, and the third
about $200. When the cost of the three was figured up separately, the
first two showed a very satisfactory profit, while the third showed a
loss of over $200, or more than the original estimate.

A careful investigation failed to show where the trouble was, but
the fact still remains that there was a fair profit on the three jobs,
taken together. So we can say with a considerable amount of reason
that it would be folly to double the estimate on the small bill of frames,
in view of the fact that an analysis of the material and probable time
of manufacture was not out of line with the other two jobs.

To sum up the situation of labor cost, I believe that a careful and
reliable figure may be obtained on any class of article by taking only
representative jobs and keeping cost on them separately; and by
separately | mean to take cost data only on one job of a kind at a time.
Then repeat enough times during the year to establish an average.

That the estimating of material on a given piece of work has its
uncertainties is verified in the fact that the requirements for duplicate
work should be the same, but very frequently are not.

Of course, if the practice of figuring from the cutting bills is fol-
lowed and a level per cent. added for waste, it will be possible to dupli-

cate the cost figures on material in case the market stays eve om
if the record is made by the man who brings the lumber in fron

yard, duplicate jobs may show quite a wide discrepancy and
aieos ;

Let us consider the matter of a large order for trim whic
require anywhere from two to six cars of lumber. If there is
work going on in the mill at the same time, using the same kin
lumber, there is sure to be a confusion of charges. and credits.
sonally, I prefer the percentage addition for waste.

Another chance for error in material costs is the omission of
cost of manufactured articles required, such as glass, hardware, f
and varnishes, sash pulleys, and the like. Sometimes these i om
added in all right, but the item of their freight is overlooked. 1
often of considerable importance, as in the case of plate glass. |
and crating material is another item to be accounted for, eit
overhead or in each individual job, and it is my opinion that
be in the latter.

Whether the costs are kept the year round or wherheg tl
worked out as special items as here advocated, the overhez
will have to be determined in the same manner; and, as i
the fore part of this article, the items going to make up-
charges are more or less uncertain and mixed.

One will find in every mill quite a considerable amount «
tive work done by non-productive labor, which is charged tO
and therefore makes the labor cost too low. This i is more apt
in small jobs where common labor helps out in times of s
large jobs where the billing and detailing are put into th

The items of checking, crating, freight, drayage, beatae

Sawmill Belting—Its Requisites and Its Care

By B. F. Hall

Of all machinery, sawmill and planing-mill machinery is the hard-
est to equip satisfactorily with belting.

Master machinists and belt experts can afford to consider them-
selves well posted on belting equipment when they have learned just
what heft and width belts to work in the different places in a sawmill
to give the best results.

Too often in building and equipping a sawmill there is very little
attention paid to the belting. There are several reasons for this. The
belting is, ofttimes, or | might more correctly say nearly always, the
last of the equipment bought, and former purchases, for a large saw-
mill, have been so great, with expenses of building and equipping the
null, in many cases from one and a half to twice as much as was appro-
priated for it, that this, many times, causes the purchaser to buy cheap
belting. He forgets that in doing so he is nearly always buying
trouble. If this purchaser would stop and consider the fact that his
company has spent thousands of dollars in buying and installing the
best machinery, in their opinion, that money would buy, he would see
the folly of equipping this expensive machinery and costly installation
with cheap belting, knowing the fact that the belting is the very thing
that ought to be the best money could buy, because the belting is that
most important part of the entire equipment, though nearly always
purchased last, that transmits the power and keeps the expensive
machinery in operation.

Cheap Belting Does Not Pay.

There is always someone willing to sell belting a little cheaper,
but a long and careful study has taught me that cheap belting equip-
ment, to start with, costs too much in the long run. Competition has
fairly well regulated the price of belting, and real cheap belting, to
start with, has, in all my experience, proved to be the most expensive,
in the sawmill in course of time.

To a great extent successful operation of a sawmill depends on
the belting. A large operator recently told me that he could not afford
to buy a certain belt, although the first cost was very low, because
that belt, he said, stretched so much that the time lost and labor cost
of taking the excessive stretch out of the belt would several times pay
for the belt. I advised him that the best is the cheapest. He bought
a good belt, and his trouble at that particular place stopped.

When the cost of fuel is a consideration (which I am glad to say
is seldom ever the case at sawmills) the user cannot, from a financial
standpoint, afford to use anything but belting for transmission of

power. In fact, counting installation, maintenance, efficiency, cost of
operation, etc., belting is the cheapest of all ways of transmitting

power in a sawmill, and certainly by far the most satisfactory.

Proper Mechanical Conditions.

Regardless of the kind of belting used, whether it is the best or
the cheapest eradés, or regardless of. what material it is constructed,
such belting must be operated under proper mechanical conditions if
the best results are obtained. When | say “under proper mechanical
conditions,” of course I eliminate speed. Some belts in sawmills have
to be driven at so great a velocity that there are no mechanical author-
ities who will admit that it is possible to obtain the best results from
a belt traveling at so great a velocity. The requirements of belts in
sawmills is greater than any other work that belting is made to do.

In referring to different drives, I will only name some of the hard-
est ones in sawmills, because these are the ones that cause the trouble.
As all men who are acquainted with sawmills know, there are some
slow and fairly easy drives in sawmills. .

High mechanical authorities, say that 4,500 feet a minute is the
high limit placed on the travel of a double leather belt 22 inches wide
and wider, to obtain the best results, considering the life and power
received from the belt.

A circular saw with a 24-inch diameter pulley, making 900 revolu-
tions a minute, and driven by a belt, requires the belt to travel 5,618
feet every minute. With the same number of revolutions this belt,
traveling over a 30-inch diameter wheel is traveling 7,068 feet every
minute. Just think of it—this is faster than the travel of the fastest
passenger train on record. I name this to point out the fact that every-
thing must be exactly right if a belt is expected to give even fair
results moving at the above mentioned velocity.

should line with each other, as well as the pulleys to. be lined with
each other. If the crowns on the pulleys do not line, the belt will
divide with the crown on the larger diameter wheel and will be out of
line on the smaller diameter wheel.

Where an idler is used, it should be a flat-faced pulley, because a
crowned idler will lead the belt to one extreme or the other, and if the
crowns on the drive and driven wheels do not line with the crown in
the idler—if a crowned idler is used—it works a hardship on the belt.

The underneath side of a belt should be the pulling side and the

top side the slack side. If an idler is used on a belt it should run ¢
the belt fairly close to the driven wheel, and, of course, on the top si
of the slack side of the belt.

Driven wheels are usually the smaller in diameter, and the

By placing the idler, as above described, it will help to wrap |
belt around the smaller diameter wheel, and by so doing the belt

It is a mistake to use short belts, at any place in a eavmnilll
it is possible to avoid the use of short ones. This is someti
because a long belt costs more than a short one of the same
ply. However, it is a waste of money to use short belts when
to use long ones, because a belt 60 feet long, traveling 5,000 or
feet a minute, will wear longer than two belts each 30 feet, ‘the

as the belt 60 feet long.

length, width, velocity of the belt and the diameter and relative di
ters of the wheels that the belt travels around. Using the old con
vative rule for figuring horse power of leather belting, which, due to
the irregular load on sawmill belts is, I believe, the best rule. A ge ere

power. ;

Belts too wide for the work required of them nearly always show
it, when the belts are at work, by the edges of the belt riding up off
the face of the pulley. I have seen belts ride up %-inch on both edges
off on the face of the pulley. When this is the case the belt is trans-
mitting more power than the machine requires, and a narrow belt
should be used. Belts giving up more power than the maximum
amount of power required to do the work do not last as long as belts
that are not overloaded, but that only develop the amount of power
required to do the work when working under heaviest load.

Very frequently belts are said to be defective and condemned just
because they are too narrow or too wide, and more frequently because
they are too wide to do the work required of them.

The life of circular saw, edger, gang edger and other high speed
belts is short, due to the speed they travel. However, the life of these
belts can be lengthened and money in the long run saved if the opera-
tor will use long, instead of short, belts.

Band saw belts last longer than circular saw belts because they
work over larger diameter wheels and do not travel nearly as fast as
circular saw belts. Three years ago a friend of mine asked me to go
over his two sawmills and advise him what width and heft belts to use
to get best results. In doing so I found three belts that ought to have
been wider than he was using, and eight belts that were too wide for
the work they were doing. In replacing these belts he changed the
widths, and has had no further trouble.

When single-ply leather belts are used the grain side should run
to the pulley and the points of the laps should travel with the wind.
Double or triple-ply leather belts are so constructed that the user has
to run the grain side to the pulley, but care should be exercised that
the points of the laps should not travel against the wind. The idea
that the flesh side of a single-ply leather belt is less liable to slip than
the grain side is all a fake.

Smooth Surface Next Pulley.

The smoothest solid surface of a belt against smooth-faced cast
iron pulley is harder to make slip than if one has a rough surface.
Avoid using a wide single-ply belt, because if the belt is traveling even
at a moderate rate of speed and has a normal load on it, wide single-ply
belting is very liable to become wavy on the edges. Nearly always this
is not the fault of the belt, but it is because the user is trying to make
too light a ply belt do the work where a heavier ply should be used.

Drive belts, from engines to line shafts, are frequently not wide
enough or heavy enough. These belts do not travel so fast, and
usually go around larger diameter pulleys than the higher speed belts
in sawmills.

Hog belts in sawmills are not so troublesome if they are long
belts of the right width and heft, otherwise they are troublesome.

Circular saw belts, edger belts, gang edger belts, gang saw belts,
hog belts, and all such hard places are the most important belts in a

sawmill, and will give very little trouble if long instead of short belts
of the right width and heft are used.

It pays well to get someone who knows to advise in reference to
the width and heft of belts to be used on the different machines.

Before belts are fastened together around the pulleys they should
be made perfectly square at the ends. If they are not square at the
ends, when the ends are butted against each other to be fastened, this
itself will make a crook in the belt.

There are a number of ways to fasten belts—some good and some
very poor ways. Some belt hooks are better than others, but, as a
whole, I consider them a poor fastening. They are stiff and clumsy,

and will eventually cause any belt to break where the hooks are driven |

in. Wire lace is very good for new small belts if put in properly, but
not very good for old belts. Where belts are not made endless, a good
lace leather is about the best of all other fastenings. However, it is a
mistaken idea that a very large string has to be used. Use a small
string, and punch small holes in the belt just large enough for this
string to be pulled through. Do not punch the holes too far from the
ends of the belt. I prefer a hinge joint, because it gives readily as the
belt goes around the pulleys, and is not so clumsy as some other ways
of lacing.

Belts work better, last longer, run more smoothly,
ble, and transmit more power if made endless.

give less trou-

Care in Joining Belts.

Regardless of what method of fastening is used, great care should
be exercised in joining belts, because if they are not square at the ends
and if the edges are not kept even the belt is forced to not work well.

If lace leather is used and the lace is stretched more on one edge
of the belt than it is on the other edge this will let the belt separate
more at one edge than the other, and will make a crooked place where
joined together,

All belts should be slightly narrower than the faces of the pulleys
that they travel over.

The belting should be put in care sof one man. If it requires more
than one man to do the belt work, divide the work so that each man
will have a certain portion of the belting to be responsible for. If it
does not require one man’s time, then give him all the belting, with
certain other work.

Do not use resin, soap, lime, ashes, ete., to stop a belt fron

Creosoted Wood Block Paving
By Walter Buehler.

Creosoted wood block pavement properly laid is, without ques-
tion, the most durable, serviceable, and comfortable pavement in
existence. Anyone riding over block streets cannot deny this.

Its durability, its effectiveness, under heavy traffic, needs no fur-
ther demonstration than the streets in Lower Manhattan or the Loop
District in Chicago.

Its comfort and desirability are amply demonstrated by the miles
of beautiful residence streets in such cities as Detroit, Minneapolis,
and hundreds of others. Minneapolis alone has over 70 miles of block
streets, some of these 14 years old, and this year they are laying over
375,000 square yards. Detroit, with many miles of block pavement
and years of experience, is laying over 200,000 square yards this year.
When the public have used a great quantity of a material over a long
period of years and continue to demand it, that material has surely
stood the acid test.

Proper methods of treatment are now most generally understood.
The important points to consider are: Timber for treatment should
not be too well seasoned; the oil shout be forced in under slowly
increasing pressure to assure a good uniform penetration. All respon-
sible timber-preserving companies can be relied upon to treat the
blocks properly.

Much has been said and written as to the proper quantity of oil
to be used. There are two principal considerations—first, quantity
necessary to prevent decay; second, quantity necessary to prevent
absorption of water and thereby help control expansion. “Two and

one-half gallons of oil per tie in the treatment of a railroad tie has .

been found to be ample to prevent decay. This is about 10 pounds of
oil per cubic foot of timber. Therefore, taking into consideration the
better conditions under which a paving block is laid, better drainage,
etc., it should require less oil to preserve it than to preserve a railroad
tie. For example: The blocks in Indianapolis which absorbed only
6 pounds per cubic foot, are, after 20 years of service, perfectly pre-
served.

The second consideration—that is, the amount of oil necessary to
prevent absorption of water—presents a different problem. ‘UVheoreti-
cally, we would assume:that the greater quantity of oil used the less
space for water, therefore the more waterproof. This assumption
would be correct provided the cell spaces in the wood had anything
to do with the expansion and contraction of the wood. It is a well
known fact of timber physics that if the water is evaporated from a
saturated stick no change in size takes place until all of the water is
out of the cell structure and begins to come out of the wood fibre
itself. That is, as expressed scientifically, the point of fibre saturation
is reached; therefore, a large quantity of oil in the cell structure does
no especial good, but, on the contrary, acts as a reserve supply to pro-
long the period of bleeding. It is also a fact, I believe, that the pre-
servation does not penetrate the fibre, but only the cell structure.
Therefore, the value of the preservative relative to expansion and con-
traction is dpendent upon its ability to penetrate the cell structure of
the wood and paint the fibre structure with a layer of oil, which will
either keep the water in the fibre and the block expanded to its normal
size or keep the water out of the fibre of a thoroughly seasoned block.

As a paving block has six sides, on all of which the fibres are
exposed, a certain amount of surface evaporation or absorption takes
place. This accounts for the trouble with blocks treated with 20
pounds of heavy oil, which expand with the first rainstorm after they
have been laid, when the blocks have been allowed to lie along the
street for a long period before laying, or where thoroughly air-
seasoned timber was used in the manufacture of the blocks. The
quantity of oil alone will not prevent contraction or expansion. Other
factors must be taken into consideration—that is, methods of treating
and laying. A sufficient quantity of oil should be used to thoroughly
treat the blocks, the quantity varying with the quality. That is,
firmly believe that an average of 16 pounds of an oil with a gravity of
1.08 to 1.12 is sufficient.

No other one feature of the creosote block pavement has been Xo)
much discussed as the quality of the oil to be used. In the early days
very light gravity oils were used. These early pavements caused con-
siderable trouble, due to expansion and contraction. The quality and
quantity of oil were blamed for this trouble, and each year found the
manufacturer advocating higher and higher gravity oils, and greater
and greater quantities. This reached its climax about 1913, when the
standard specificaions adopted by the Association for Standardizing
Paving Specifications called for an oil of not less than 1.14 gravity at
68 degrees F., and 16 to 22 pounds of oil per cubic foot. In order to
obtain this high gravity oil it was found necessary by many manufac-
turers to use mixtures of distilled oil and tars. We soon began to
have trouble, due to bleeding of the block pavements, and, in addition,
the expansion trouble was not entirely cured. As a natural conse-
quence, a reaction took place, and, as is generally the case, the pendu-
lum swung to the other extreme. :

It is my personal opinion that, within certain limits, it makes very
little difference what the quality of the oil is, provided that you have a
staple oil and the blocks in proper condition for treatment, thoroughly

loadings under the. same gees. act.

the lumber business during recent years may be laid to the ambi-
of some of my friends in the business who have endeavored to
dily increase their operations and have developed such great
ities that they have in many instances felt themselves compelled

expressed in British Columbia. It is possible to point to various

This brand is especially well suited to the wet places in a saw or pulp mill and will run
true as long as it is in service. When you are overhauling your mill equip it with
“Goodhue Belts” and you will never regret it. They are honestly made of solid leather—
every inch a good belt and they won’t stretch.

Saving $100,000.00 Yearly
on Coal Bills

That may sound fabulous but it is a fact -established
by the Minnesota & Ontario Power Company. Before the
installations of Jones Underfeed Stokers 695 tons of coal
at $3.50 per ton were the daily requirement. With the
Jones Stokers and Dutch Ovens, as illustrated, the mill
waste was utilized and only 5 tons of coal were burned
each week.

This is only one example of many showing the
immense saving n fuel bills effected by Jones Stokers.

We will be pleased to correspond with you regarding
the use of Jones Stokers in your plant. Write us.

If you install a

Sturtevant

Common Sense Dry Kiln

you will have taken the first step toward cheaper drying and
more uniform results. The mysterious valves and dampers
which require the close attention of an expert to success-
fully operate are conspicuous by their absence.

Sturtevant Kilns are built with a thorough understanding of
the requirements of the average plant, and are so simple that
the average attendant can operate them with good results.

Why not get in touch with our experts on lumber

“T’ll Remember that Name

‘SPARTAN’

“The trade mark says ‘Spartan.’ I suppose it was named after those old Spartans—
the fellows who could stand ‘most everything.

“This belt was on the machine when I started in nere three years ago and it has cer-
tainly stood some hard service. Doesn't slip, stretch or glaze. Guess the boss knew
what he was doing when he picked this belt—why, it’s good for years yet. I'll keep that
G & K Spartan trade mark in mind—I may be able to use the information some day.”

The operator is pretty close to the belt. He appreciates a good one because he is
often the loser from a poor one. Any Graton & Knight belt makes good because it
is made from selected hides tanned by superior processes. Heat, cold, strain, water,
oil, or acid fumes have no ill effect on “Spartan” Belting. It’s the belting supreme.

A New G&K
catalog is just
off the press.

plete and ex-
tensive line—

purposes. A

Locomotives on trunk line railroads have the advantage of

the best facilities for inspection and repairs.

Logging locomotives face different conditions. They must
work day after day in the hardest service, and often in
localities where repairs cannot be made without great
inconvenience. That is why we build our logging loco-
motives from interchangeable stock parts. With this
system every part must fit every other locomotive of the same size and design, and long delays waiting for

duplicate parts are avoided. Interchangeable parts kept on hand at our Works for prompt shipment

DEARBORN FEED-WATER TREATMENT

Dearborn Scientific Treatment | A P a
of Boiler Feed Waters i 4 Hit the Bis

In order to intelligently cope with the subject of feed water treatment, a thorough Mark

knowledge of Chemistry, both theoretical and applied, and of steam engineering, both

practical and theoretical, must be at hand. Complete, suitable, and properly equipped lab-

oratories must be maintained and operated by thorough and competent chemists, especially

trained as water analysts, and of equal importance, a suitably equipped manufacturing plant,

for the proper compounding and mixing of such preparations as are prescribed for each specific case
from formula constructed and furnished by the technical department. Without all these you have no
reliable assurance that satisfactory or the best results will be obtained. \

DEARBORN WATER TREATING PREPARATIONS
are scientifically prepared to meet the requirements of the
mineral ingredients and other objectionable constituents
of the water, the percentage of each mineral salt govern-
ing the percentage of the antidotal ingredient in the treat-
ment. By these methods we avoid the use of an excess
or deficiency of any part of the treatment, every pound
being utilized in the reactions taking place. There is no
mechanical, unknown, or unlooked for result obtained
from the use of'our goods; we cause a complete chemical
reaction to take place between the deleterious constituents
of the water and the ingredients of our preparations.

NO MATTER WHAT the type or size of your boiler Jw
may be, Dearborn Service will. give you increased |
steaming capacity and effect important economies. nat ime
IT’S ONLY GOOD BUSINESS for you to:in- yf ae
vestigate any proposition which promises 7,
big economies and big gains in operating i
efficiency. f

SEND a gallon sample of feed water
for analysis.

- Shell Box Inspector Helping
Manufacturers

q is the course of a discussion upon the shell box industry recently,
1 prominent lumberman interested in the manufacture and wholesale
marketing of stocks suitable for shell boxes, expressed the opinion
lat the Imperial Munitions Board, by the appointment’ of an in-
ctor to visit plants and criticize and assist manufacturers, had done
ndustry an excellent turn. It is common knowledge, he said, that
for some time there was much dissatisfaction among box manufac-
tirers over the system of inspection of the work done. In numerous
‘ases the inspectors went to extremes. At one plant they would give
| very severe inspection, working a hardship on the manufacturer ;
i many cases the inspection being performed by men who had no

owledge of the work. At other factories the inspection ran to the
her extreme, amounting really to very little inspection at all, thus
s a manufacturer to get away with practically anything he
| d to turn out. This led to such widespread disapproval among

tires aed to criticize and Perce them in their work. Mr.
near is a practical woodworker and thoroughly acquainted with
hing essential in connection with such duties. His efforts on
of the shell box manufacturers have been much appreciated by
anufacturers themselves.

| conversation with a number of these box manufacturers, we
een informed that the new system has been a great benefit. Mr.
ar has been able to advise the manufacturers just where they
making their mistakes, and to correct them at a minimum of
st, making extensive savings both to the manufacturers and to the
perial Munitions Board. He is not only a practical woodworker,
yefore his appointment had had considerable experience in con-
with the production of shell boxes and is conversant with the
ts of the Munitions Board. We are sure, from information

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 23

received from men who have visited a large number of plants, that
this move was an excellent one, in the interests of the efficient’ pro-
duction of shell boxes, and we only hope that the Board will continue
to place men in control of their inspection who understand what is
required, rather than permit the work to be done by men who may
secure their appointment by political influence. Of course, it is not
to be expected that this new system will meet the approval of those
under whose charge the inspection work was carried on previously.
We believe, however, that it is a step in the right direction and know
that the Imperial Munitions Board is receiving the commendation of
shell box manufacturers in general for the step they have taken.

Loose Credits—The Root of Most
Retail Evils

The retail lumber dealer is concerned, or ought to be, more that
anything else about the class of customer that he is selling to, and
about his personal relations with the customer. Two things are
important in this regard. One is the financial standing of the cus-
tomer and the other is the way in which the retailer treats his cus-
tomer in regard to the credit which he grants him. These two
things really make up one branch of the retailer’s work, that of
credits, and this branch is many times more important than any-
thing else which the retailer has to think about.

Back of the matter of credits there must lie the individuality of
the retailer himself. If he is a good business man he will either take
charge of the credit end of the business himself or put it in the hands
of a man whom he knows to be a specialist at this kind of work. Even
then he will keep close touch upon the work of this man. The great
majority of deals going through a retail office are upon a credit basis
and it is necessary for the manager or the man in charge of the credit
work to arm himself with everything available in the way of informa-
tion and experience that will help him to deal with the numerous
problems he has to solve. In short, the arrangement of any deal for
the sale and delivery of a quantity of lumber from a retail yard re-
solves itself into a problem in which the two parties to the deal are
themselves its chief elements, and it is upon the way in which the
dealer or his credit man proves himself capable of handling these prob-
lems that the soundness and the future development of the business
has its foundation. The retailer must, in short, become as good a judge
of the deserts of an applicant for credit, or in other words of the large
majority of his customers, as a banker is of those who come to him
for loans.

How many retail lumbermen can say to themselves that they
have measured up to the rudimentary requirements of a good credit
man? We do not believe that the number is anything like as large
as it should be. One only needs to take a glance at the ledger of
even the best retail firms with which he is acquainted in order to
see that many a customer who has no right to do so, gets away with
large quantities of stock on the most flimsy sort of promises to pay,
and that the quantity of bad debts written off from year to year is
far too large a proportion of the actual volume of trade conducted.

Why is it so difficult for a retailer to make sure whether his
prospective customer is a safe man to whom to extend credit? The
man who buys lumber, taking him on the average, is much the same
as the man who buys anything else. The retailer ought to be able to
size him up better than he appears to do in many cases. Is it per-
haps that the great quantity of routine and detail which a retailer
has to handle throughout his business day takes his mind off the
credit end and that when a man calls for a quotation he is likely
to see in him only a prospective customer and not a prospective debt-
or? There is a good deal in this idea. We believe that the conduct
of a retail business is not conducive of the production of ability to size
up a customer to the extent that the business demands, and that in
some way or other it is generally necessary for a retailer to give his
credit work the special attention of a particular man who has nothing
else for which to be responsible, whether he is employed in the office
itself or is conducting a bureau for the exchange of credit information
on behalf of the lumber trade in general.

- From an acquaintance with retailers, extending over a number of

he! She WEE ve wie? Jias

24 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

years, we have become convinced that there is something wanting
along this line. The retailers have been far too keen to close their

deals, to book their customers and to deliver stock, than they should .

have been. They have neglected the other end of the business and
have been losers thereby. Many of them have lost far more than
enough money in bad debts to pay all the expenses of ‘good credit
specialists who would have steered them clear of a large portion of
their losses.
a man whose duty it is to interview customers and size them up, from
the credit point of view. No customer who is worth while having
will object to questions about his intentions in the matter of paying
for goods; in fact if he is a good paying customer he will be glad to
let the retailer know that he is going to get his money promptly, as
he will count upon better treatment when he makes this fact known.
But unfortunately, in the past we have seen retailers going to the
other extreme, thinking apparently that good business demanded it.
We have seen them hunting for business with cut price inducements,
and, careless credit considerations that advertised them to the crooks
as easy prey. We have heard of them keeping solicitors on the street

Mill Construction Coming Into Its Own

The awakened interest in mill construction factory buildings,
which is evident in may cities, makes the publication of any specific
data‘on the subject of unusual value. Reinforced concrete buildings
have been the strongest competitors of mill construction, and in many
cities have become the predominating type almost entirely because
they have been promoted and their advantages called to the attention
of architects, engineers, and contractors.

Comparisons on a cost basis such as are contained in Technical
Letter No. 6 of the Engineering Bureau of the National Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association of the United States are bound to be im-

portant factors in turning the decision of prospective builders to mill
construction instead of concrete. This is especially true when the
comparisons, as in this case, are made by an architect and engineer of
high standing. Mr. F. E. Davidson, of Chicago, who is the author, is
president of the Illinois Society of Architects. He writes from the
basis of wide experience and practical knowledge, and has erected
many very high-class buildings of the mill construction type in Chi-
cago. His figures are not theoretical, but based on comparisons of two
actual buildings. _

Perhaps the most striking statement is that “the increased cost of
a strictly fireproof manufacturing building is from 25 to 35 per cent.
greater than the actual first cost of an exactly similar standard mill
building.” He figures depreciation charges at 3% per cent. per year
on standard mill buildings, as against 2% per cent. on absolutely fire-
proof buildings. As to maintenance charges, Mr. Davidson states
that he does not know of accurate records of maintenance which are
more than three-fourths of one per cent. per year for mill buildings,
while the same charges on fireproof buildings do not average less than
one-half per cent. per year. In other words, the maintenance charges
are essentially the same.

On the important question of insurance rating Mr. Davidson

What Forest Fires Cost Ca in 1916

Canada has lost through forest fires in 1916 over nine million
dollars. This. equals more than six times what has been spent on
forest protection work from coast to coast. The enormous sum
wasted through this year’s forest fires, most of which were prevent-
able, would add another $480 to the first year’s pension allowances of
nearly 19,000 Canadian soldiers.

It is noteworthy that while some parts of the Dominion owe to
rainy weather their immunity from fire damage, the season’s record
proves beyond gainsay that in areas where first-rate fire protection
systems were in operation losses of life and property were held down
to a remarkable minimum.

Quebec had some heavy fires in the Lake St. John and Saguenay

‘

In the office of every retail lumberman there should be:

to get in touch with every prospective customer, whether h
bona-fide owner of a building that is being put up, or is a fly- ii

estimated to be six million dollars’ worth of property. There was
practically no forest guarding organization in the fire-swept district,
except along the railway track.

New Brunswick escaped the risks of 1916 with a very small timber
loss, and Nova Scotia had a similar experience. The records of the
Dominion Railway Board show that the private-owned railway lines
of Canada have not been responsible this year for any damaging forest
fires.

Shipbuilding May Become Important Hadastrys i in Canada

directly interested in an extremely important ship-repairing and ship-
building enterprise on the west coast of Canada. The famous firm of
Messrs. Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whitworth & Co., as is well known,
had some time ago realized the potentialities of Canada for shipbuild-
ing purposes, and have been engaged for some time there, but it is
further interesting to hear the suggestion that Messrs. Cammell,
Laird & Co., and also Messrs. John Brown & Co., Clydebank, are on
the point of laying plans for shipbuilding purposes in Canada.

“Whatever immediate foundation there may be for these rumors,
there can be no doubt that the shipbuilding firms of this country are
the most progressive and the most enlightened of any such firms in
the world, and that they may be relied upon not only to continue the ,
lead, which they have held for years, but under the new conditions and
the broader sympathies of the Empire, that they will increase this
lead to an extent that, at any rate for many generations, will enable
the shipbuilding industry of the British Empire to dominate that of
the whole world, whatever activities may be in progress in the United
States and whatever developments Germany may subsequently desire
to put into operation.

“Very wisely the Dominion Government is offering inducements
to these great and reputable firms, and not only may it be announced
inthe future that Canada will be building many of its own ships, but
this division and spreading out of the industry will have a very fine
effect in readjusting the relationship of labor and in making provision
for those new conditions of industrial life that must inevitably follow
as a result of the present world upheaval.”

where is was so nearly inaccessible that it could not be cut for a long
time. The accessible timber, he said, was rapidly being cut, and if
something in the way of reforestration were not done now there would
be very little left of it in the course of fifteen years. He advocated
experiments with Eastern hardwoods in burned-over areas, believing
that this would be more practicable than using the slow-growing fir
and cedar that were native to the province.

At the same meeting the fire rangers discussed methods of pre-
venting and fighting forest fires. A resolution was passed asking the
provincial government to amend the bush act so that it will once
more’be necessary to have a permit for setting out a fire up till October
ist. During the past two years:no permit has been necessary after
September 15th, and the rangers say experience has shown that the
last two weeks in September are frequently the most dangerous of
the whole season.

During the recent visit of Sir George Foster to Victoria, B.C., a
deputation representing the lumber interests of Vancouver Island had
an interview with him and urged him to do what he can to help in
bringing about a reciprocity agreement between Canada and Aus-
tralia and New Zealand. They pointed out to the Minister of Trade
and Commerce that British Columbia can furnish Australia and New
Zealand with great quantities of lumber, and also wood pulp and
paper, while there is a market in Canada for large quantities of meat,
butter, wool, and hides from Australia. An extensive interchange of
goods between these countries could be carried on to the mutual
benefit of all concerned. The deputation also urged the Minister to
use his influence for securing the appointment of a Canadian customs
official in New York.

242nd Forestry Battalion Leaves for Overseas

The 242nd Forestry Battalion,
for service in the forests of Great
Britain and elsewhere, which has
been raised during the past few
months, under Lieut.-Col. J. B.
White, of the Riordon Pulp and
Paper Company, Ltd., Montreal,
was recently completed to the full
strength of an infantry battalion.
C Company of the battalion was
raised in Toronto and other On-
tario points, under Lieut. G. T.
Reid, son of Mr. J. B. Reid, of
Reid & Company, retail lumber
dealers, Toronto. C Company leit
for Montreal on October 4th,

- where the battalion mobilized, and
expected to leave for overseas
about Oct. 15. The marching state
of C Company was 150 men.

The 242nd Forestry Battalion is
officered almost exclusively by
men who have had practical ex-

perience in the lumbering busi-
ness, among them being Lieut.-Col. J. B. White, in command ; Major
Donnoly, formerly with the 60th Canadian Overseas Battalion; Capt.
‘Massiah, formerly with the C.P.R.; Capt. Bourassa, Ottawa; Capt.
Lang, Ottawa; Capt. Fenton, Ottawa, a returned officer; Capt. Suck-
ling, Montreal; Lieut. George Perley, nephew of Sir George Perley ;
Lieut. Strpng, of the Strong Lumber Company, Montreal; Lieut. G.
T. Reid, Toronto, and Lieut. Hughson, Montreal.

During the enlistment of C Company at Toronto the lumbermen
of Toronto took an active interest in the affairs of the company, and
contributed $1,000 to assist in financing it. About $2,000 was also
raised in other ways. The men composing the 242nd Forestry Bat-
talion are specially fitted for the work of felling and cutting timber in
the forests of Great Britain and Europe. They are a fine, husky lot,
practically all of whom have had a long experience in Canadian woods.

Lieut. G. T. Reid, whose portrait appears at the head of this
article, is typical of nearly all the officers of the battalion. He has
spent all of his business life in the lumber business, having had a year
and a half in the bush in Quebec, a taste of the road as a salesman,
and a long experience in the yard and office of Reid & Co., Toronto.

German Architecture in Dugouts on the Battle Line

The recent capture of extensive lines of German trenches by the
allies has made it possible to learn something of the manner in which
the Germans have used wood in the construction of their defences.
The London Timber Trades Journal reprints an-article on this subject,
written by an architect for an English newspaper, in which he says:

“Tudging from the plans of the dugouts captured from the Ger-
mans it is clear that the enemy employed a soldier-architect to assist
the military engineers in making these halls comfortable.

“The timber construction is of the post-and-fan type. In the main
it consists of a series of balk timbers, spaced at intervals of six feet,
doing duty as stanchions; these run through the two floors. The tim-
bers of the intermediate stage are framed into the story posts with
stout beams. A similar system exists to carry the wooden sheeting
immediately under the earth on the upper story. There is nothing
special in the construction employed by the enemy, and in many ways
the British dugouts, while of a more temporary nature, are far
stronger, for they follow the system of braced props which is a feature
of mining practice.

“Vet, notwithstanding the simplicity of the methods employed by
the Germans for what they considered would be in their possession for
the duration of the war, a certain decorative character is to be seen in
the banded neckings to the upper part of the posts, in the paper wave
ornament introduced into the officers’ quarters, and in the birdcage
balustrade to the stairways.

“At first sight the drawings of these elaborate underground halls
recall the posts and framings which in the old days distinguished the
three-decker. Then one thinks of the roof timbers associated with the
factories and warehouses of the century before last, and finally one
decides that timber construction offers many possibilities for small
modern buildings. One lesson to be learned from the example of the
Germans in this is that timber could be extensively and artistically
used for rebuilding farmhouses and cottages in the areas visited by the
devastation of the war.”

The British steamer Crown of Seville, which sailed on September
22nd from Seattle, Wash., for London, carried 3,100,000 feet of spruce
lumber consigned to the British Government. The lumber is used for
constructing military aeroplanes. The shipment was one of the largest
ever made from that port.

Lieut. C. P. Waldie Reported Killed 4

The Canadian casualty list of
October 2nd contained the name
of Lieut. Charles Percy Waldie,
who has been missing since the
battle of Loos, one year ago. The
fact that Lieut. Waldie was then
missing was reported at the time.
A cablegram from the War Office
now announces that for official
purposes he is presumed to have
died about September 26th, 1915.

Lieut. C. P. Waldie was the son
of the late John Waldie, head of
che Victoria Harbor Lumber Com-
pany, of Toronto and Victoria
Harbor, Ont. He was well known
to the lumbermen of the province,
having occupied for a number of
years the position of manager of
the: Victoria Harbor Mills. Soon
after the outbreak of the war he
went to England and took an
officer’s training course in the
Inns of Court. Shortly after qual-
ifying he accepted a commission with the Queens Royal West
Regiment, and was stationed for a time at Worthing, England
sequently proceeding with his regiment to France. Previous
war, Lieut. Waldie had had no military experience, but he wa
of those who felt the call of duty as soon as the war broke out.
was 32 years old, born in Canada and a graduate of Upper Cana
College. He had made a great many friends among the lumber
of Ontario who will learn with the deepest regret of his loss.
F. N. Waldie, a brother, is well known as manager of the V
Harbor Lumber Company and Mr. R. S. Waldie is also well
to the lumber trade. Another brother, Capt. W. Scott Waldie is
the 122nd battalion, which has been in training at Camp Borden
ing the past summer. ae

Pacific Coast Shingle Men Hold Vancouver Meetin;

A delegation of American red cedar shingle manufacturers, 1
bers of the West Coast Lumberman’s Association, held a two-day
sion in Vancouver recently as guests of the Huntting-Merritt Lt
Company; Westminster Mill, Limited; Thurston, Flavelle Lumbe
Company, and the Vancouver Cedar Mills. The meeting was one
the many gatherings that have resulted from the decision of the cedar
shingle interests of the Pacific Northwest to get together for the com-
mon weal of the red cedar shingle industry. The American at
British Columbia mills sell practically in the same market. The
gates represented practically every district engaged in the manufa
of red cedar shingles in the Pacific Northwest. After the bus
meeting which was held in the offices of the B. C. Lumbermen’
sociation a golf tournament was played at the Shaughnessy H
Golf and Country Club grounds. The cup, presented by the Br
Columbia mills, was won by Mr. H.C. Wyckoff, secretary of the W
Coast Association. After the tourney the visitors attended a busi
dinner at the Vancouver Club. Lae.

The evening session was mainly devoted to a discussion of
present national advertising campaign which has been carried «
the association during the present year. It was the consensi
opinion that this advertising had done much to offset the compe’
of patent roofings, and_had increased the building of bungalow
ages, barns, etc., on which cedar shingles were used. Mr. Je
of the Retail: Lumbermen’s Association of Kansas City, state
through the efforts of newspaper and magazine advertising,
had been compelled to supply their customers with red cedar
when, as a matter of fact, they had been gradually getting
substitute roofing habit. The visitors were taken on a tour
spection and visited the Vancouver Cedar Mills, the Huntting-
Lumber Company, the Thurston-Flaveile Lumber Company a

nd
Westminster Mills, Limited. "="

New Brunswick and Maine Lumbermen Organizing

Owners of lumber mills and timber lands in New Brunswick at
Maine met in Bangor recently for the purpose of forming a lum
men’s association, international in scope, and probably the most
portant organization of its kind in northern New England. The as
ciation may also extend into New Hampshire. Another meeting
the purpose of ‘completing organization will be held in Bangor th
month. The organization will be purely a lumbermen’s and ti b
land owners’ association for the mutual benefit of the business men
concerned. ee

H. R. MacMillan Accepts Important Business Appointment

H. R. MacMillan, head of the
Forest Branch of the British Col-
umbia Department of Lands, has
resigned in order to accept the
position of assistant manager of
the Victoria Lumber and Manu-
facturing Company, Limited, Che-
manus, B:C.,..-o& which E. J.
Palmer—one of the most experi-
enced of Pacific Coast lumbermen
—is general manager. Mr. Mac-
Millan returned to Victoria at the
end of July from a world tour as
Canadian lumber trade commis-
sioner; and expected to leave agaiu
for China, Japan, and Russia to
complete his work, but received a
wire from the Department of
Trade and Commerce, Ottawa,
cancelling the previous instruc-
tions sent him.

By the resignation of Mr. Mac-
Millan British Columbia loses an
i official who since taking office a

few years ago has organized the Forestry Branch and brought it to
a stage of perfection which has made it a pattern from which other

‘provinces have been glad to cupy, Mr. MacMillan went to British
Columbia in 1912 from Ottawa, where for nine years he had been as-
sistant of forestry for the Dominion Government. He is a graduate
' of Toronto and Yale Universities, his course in forestry being taken
at the latter institution. Mr. MacMillan has displayed admirable
f judgment and rare forestric insight in the handling of his department,

and the splendid results brought about by the admirable system of '

forest fire protection initiated a few years ago and now brought to
great perfection will in particular be remembered to his credit.

The firm with which Mr. MacMillan is now connected is one of
the largest timber-holding and manufacturing concerns in the pro-
vince, and among the shareholders are capitalists who control enor-
mous timber interests in Washington, Oregon, and adjoining states.
_ This being the case, we may expect that Mr. MacMillan’s ripe talents
_ in the way of forest administration and conservation will still find full
_ scope for action.

a J. O. Cameron Foresees Improved Trade
i) One of the many British Columbia lumbermen who are optimistic

_ about the future of the lumbering industry in Western Canada is Mr.

J. O. Cameron, of the Cameron-Genoa Bay Mills Lumber Company,

@ Ltd., Victoria, B.C. Ina recent interview Mr. Cameron said in part:

z “During the last two years the timber business has been poor, although
_ there wasaregular demand. The mills were prevented from engaging
in the offshore trade by the scarcity of bottoms, the difficulty being
accentuated by the landslide in the Panama Canal. It is now neces-
sary to ship east by rail at a high rate, the timber transported being
principally in the form of box shooks for ammunition boxes and aero-
plane spruce, being bought by the Imperial Government. The skilled
- labor market has been reduced by enlistments, making Orientals more
_ independent and increasing their wages one third. The war has seri-
ously hampered work in the woods, where only white labor has been
employed.” ‘The shipbuilding industry now flourishing in Victoria,
_ Vancouver, and Westminster will, according to Mr. Cameron, be the
_ means of affording relief to the situation by making it possible to ex-
tend the markets. Mr. Cameron stated that he believes that the
growth of timber in British Columbia is more than keeping pace with
consumption, especially since ample protection against forest fires now
- is provided by the Government. The best timber area is yet to be
touched, the mills being compelled to limit their operations almost
entirely to the coast districts until the new timber lands can be reached
_ by railroads.

4 With regard to the establishment of new markets Mr. Cameron
' said that the greatest stimulant that the lumbering industry could
_ receive, after tonnage had been provided, would be the granting of a
preferential tariff with the Empire, to protect the industry from com-
petition with the older established mills on the other side of the boun-
dary. The principal markets would be on the shores of the Pacific, in
China, Australia, and South America, although at present the trade
with Australia is less than it was thirty years ago, on account of the
fact as ears needs a large proportion “of British Columbia’s timber

Death of Erastus Long, of Orillia, Ont.

News of the death of Mr. Erastus
Long, of the E. Long Manufacturing
Company, Ltd., Orillia, Ont., will be
received with regret by lumbermen
in all parts of Canada. Mr.°“Long’s
name was known to practically every
lumberman in the country, on ac-
count of his long connection with
the production of sawmill machinery.
Last spring he laid aside his business
activities and went to his cottage at
Champlain Point to take a rest. Un-
fortunately, his health was already
too much impaired, and he was
brought back to Orillia towards the
end of September, suffering from
paralysis. For a time he seemed to
recover slightly, but the end came on
October 4th.

The late Mr. Long was born in
the Township of Oro in 1868. Asa
lad he went to Orillia and learned
the machinist trade with his uncle,
the late Robért Brammer. Subse-
quently he went to Chicago, and
quickly rose until he became a master mechanic.
Orillia in 1894, upon the death of Mr. Brammer, and took over the
business of the Orillia Foundry. This he developed steadily, until it
became one of the most extensive plants in Canada for the production
of sawmill machinery. In 1906 he took into ae a his half-
brother, Mr. Francis Smith, and Mr. W. W. McBain, and organized
the E.- Leng Manufacturing Company, Ltd. This business grew
rapidly. The present plant was completed in 1910.

The late Mr. Long took much interest in the public life of Orillia,
serving for some years on the Town Council. He was a member of the
Water, Light, and Power Commission which was organized in 1913,
occupying ‘the position of chairman of that body. He “also gave much
valuable service to Orillia in connection with its electric power plant.

The Price of Pulp and Paper—Some Interesting Figures

The monthly commercial letter issued by the Canadian Bank of
Commerce has the following interesting article dealing with the pulp
and ice? situation :

“Although pulp and paper mills in Canada have for some time
been operating at full capacity, stocks of news-print are decreasing.
Prices of raw and partly manufactured. materials for paper- making
are very much higher than they were a year ago, the causes being
chiefly the increase in the cost of production and the greater demand,
Last year the cut of wood for
pulp was far below normal, which has resulted in a shortage at a time
of increased demand and increased cost. A year ago raw pulpwood
could be purchased in Northern Ontario at $4 a cord, whereas this
year the price is $5.25 and higher. While the most important factor
in the increased cost of pulp is the increase in the cost of labor, the
difficulty in procuring chemicals is also a contributory item. Up to
the present the output of Canadian paper mills has not been checked
by these factors, but during the summer fires and floods have caused
some slight loss and interruption, although not to an appreciable extent.
Contracts made during the early part of the year or previously are
being filled, but there is a decided reluctance to contract far ahead,
even at prevailing high prices. Additional increases in the cost of
production are feared, and the demand for pulp.and news-print will
doubtless continue. The new mills planned and in course of con-
struction and the extensions to existing ones will, if carried out as

‘intended, add a per diem capacity of 840 tons of news-print before the

end of 1918. During the twelve months ending: March last the amount
of printing paper exported was 463,204 tons, or at the rte of 1,544 tons
per day, as compared with a tonnage of 292,579, or 975 tons per day,
in the corresponding period ending March, 1914. In the export of and
demand for wrapping paper there are also similar develoments, and
these, even before the outbreak of the war, attained considerable pro-
protions. From 1910 to 1916, according to a diagram shown in the
bank’s report, exports of paper, pulp, pulpwood, etc., have risen from
$15,000,000 to $37,000,000 in value. Exports of paper have risen from
$3,000,000 to $20,000,000; exports of pulp (mechanical and chemical)
from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, and exports of pulpwood have hovered
between $5,500,000 and $7,500,000 during the ten years.

Great Britain’s imports during the year 1915 included the fol-
lowing from~Canada:—wood pulp, chemically dry bleached, £1,104;
wood pulp, chemically dry unbleached, £4,164; pit props or pit wood,
£38,004; railway sleepers, £1,125.

A System of Accounts for Retaile:

Fundamental Principles Clearly Explained—A Valuable Report Upon 2, Ses oe
An All-Important Problem ; caer

The first part of an article on this subject was published in our
issue of October Ist, and dealt with books of account and statements
as explained in a report prepared by the Federal Trade Commission of
the United States. The balance of the report is as follows:

Profit and Loss Statement.

The amounts for making up this statement, Form B, can be had
from the ledger and from the trial balance. It is made up at such
times as the inventory is taken. A physical inventory should be taken
at least once a year. The basis should be cost with conservative
deduction for obsolete and shelf-worn goods. The inventory at the
beginning of the period is, of course, that brought down from the end
of the last period.

When monthly profit and loss statements are desired, and where
the percentage of overhead and profit is known, the approximate cost
of the goods can be arrived at in the following manner: Deduct the
percentage of overhead and profit from 100 and multiply by the
amount of net sales; the result will be the cost of the goods sold,
which, when deducted from net sales, will give the approximate gross
profit on sales.

If desired, the difference between the values placed on the inven-
tory and the actual cost of same can be shown on the statement. Show
the actual cost of inventory and then the deduction under the title
“Stock Depreciation,” carrying the net forward as illustrated. While
this is not necessary, it is valuable information, and this method is
recommended.

The total net profit, as shown by the statement, is that carried to
the credit of the proprietor’s account in the ledger.

Ledger accounts should be kept by the double entry principle,
with all real (asset and liability) accounts, as well as with all nominal
(profit and loss) accounts. A balance sheet of the same date as the
profit and loss statement should be made up from the balances of all
real accounts. The ordinary asset and liability accounts and a logical
classification thereof are shown by Form C.

May Increase Use of Canadian Timbers at the Front

In an interview upon his arrival at Halifax, N.S., Sir Sam Hughes,
when asked about the Canadian forestry battalion in England, said:
“T visited the scenes of operations in Devon, at Virginia Water, and
other points in England, as well as Castle Douglas, Dalbeattie, Grand-
town, Nairn, and Kirkconnel in Scotland, my objects being not only
to see the work of the Canadians, but also to observe the extent of
the supply, and to consider how Canadian timber products could be
utilized at the front. I had previously recommended a committee of —
leading Canadian lumbermen, representing the different provinces, to
co-ordinate the facts and figures regarding the Canadian supply, and
arrangements have been entered into, all purely unofficial, with the
committee in Britain to see, first, what supplies Canada can furnish,
and, second, how they can be gotten to the front. Already it is under-
stood orders have come to Canada in this regard.”

Steam Logging by

By Robert Waddell, Engineering Expert, Washington Iron Works, Seattle, Wash.

I have been asked to discuss high lead logging, but this system
is so bound up with others that it is impossible to treat it alone, and
I think it best to begin with a brief review of the steps that have led
to its adoption.

Loggers are familiar with the methods and appliances of ground
yarding, and with their gradual evolution, from the use of horses and
oxen at first to that of the modern yarding engine. So I propose mere-
ly to call attention to the limitations of this system, and compare
it with others.

First: Ground yarding can only be used profitably on the best
timber lands, such as flat, bottom lands, with as little underbrush as
possible. It cannot be used in swampy ground, nor can it be used
for getting logs down hill on steep slopes. (It can, in cases of neces-
sity, be used for getting logs uphill on steep slopes). But, conceding

Fig. 1—General Arrangement showing Yarder hauling through Main Lead Block.

_ the pick of the timber lands to this system, it still has several disad-
' vantages well known to every logger. Amongst them are: The con-
stant stoppage of the logs being hauled by stumps, etc., the great
amount of brush and dirt brought in with the logs, making doubly
difficult the work of the men around the landings; the necessity of
“sniping” or pointing the logs to expedite their hauling; and the great
loss of time caused at each cycle by the changing of the choker hooks
to pass the bull block on the way to the landing. (See Fig. 1).

Overhead or Skidding Systems: To obviate some of the troubles
named in connection with ground yarding, a variety of “Aerial line,”
or overhead skidding systems have been devised. Nearly all of these
employ a “standing line” or “sky line,’ which is tightly stretched
between spar trees at its extreme ends, and which forms the track
on which a trolley runs. The log is suspended by one end.from this
trolley, and is half lifted, half trailed (or skidded) over the obstruc-
tions in the ground.

One of the simplest of these systems is the two line skidding
system installed by the Washington Iron Works, with whom I am
associated, at the Fernie Lumber Company, Fernie, B. C. (Fig. 2).

It is operated by a special three-drum donkey (Fig. 3) but can
- be almost equally well operated by any two-drum engine, such as a
half-breed or road engine, with some minor alterations.

A suitable spar tree is picked out near the railroad track, another

at the opposite end of the section to be logged, and a sky line
rigged between them. The engine shown in Fig. 3 has a spec:
third drum for tightening the sky line, which is locked by a r.
and pawl when the proper tension is obtained; but other. and
rough-and-ready methods of tightening the sky line are ofter

On the sky line runs a two-wheeled trolley, made of boiler
with manganese steel sheaves, and provided with a block hun
underside of it. The yarding or skidding line is led from the skic
drum of the engine up the head-spar through a block, out thr
the block under the trolley, and ends in the hook for engagi1
“Chokers” on the logs. The trip or haulback line is led from th
drum of the engine out through the woods, through a block or
tail spar, and out to a shackle on the trolley. By pulling in this
line the trolley is run out to the woods to the desired loca

ty (7

late Lite Hook

skidding line is slacked out, hooked to the log, and then |
bringing the log with it. Logs can be yarded from a limited :
each side of the sky line, and when this space has been cleared,
tail spar must be picked and the line moved. t
It is plain that, for any considerable span, the weight of 1
of the skidding line hanging between the trolley and the
must make it difficult if not impossible to “get slack,” that i
off enough line to enable the hook to reach the log. A tag-line i
fore attached to the hook, and by hitching this to some
stump momentarily, slack may be pulled as desired up to a r
1,000 feet, but for greater distances it is advisable to use inte
supports for the sky line, and a special opensided trolley must
to pass the hangers. This system is at its best on compa
level ground or slopes of not more than thirty per cent. in sm
ber of from 200 to 500 feet to the log. Variations of this syste
the North Bend system (Fig. 3) and others, but the essential principles
are the same as described. The capacity per day may average 30 to 4
thousand, even in such small timber, and the speed of line used is
commonly about 500 to 600 feet per minute.

Lidgerwood, Hawthorne and Other Interlocking System %

system, notably as to span, slack pulling, and grade of slope.

come some of these troubles, several more powerful (and also more
somplicated ) arrangements have been devised, the most notable being
the Lidgerwood (Fig. 4) and the Hawthorne. Both of these systems
er ploy the sky line as I have already described it, the skidding or
yarding line, and the trip or haulback line, but both have in addition
a slack-pulling line by which the skidding line is reeled out to the
nook tenders regardless of the size of the span or weight of line.
In the Lidgerwood system slack is pulled to the trolley, and carried
out by man power from the trolley to the log, while in the Hawthorne
em slack-is pulled to a portable trip block, which is hitched to a

stump near the logs to be yarded, thus eliminating all handling of the
ine by the crew. The most notable feature of both systems is the
interlocking of the skidding and haulback drums on the engine, where-
by the skidding line comes in at exactly the same speed as the haul-
back line goes out and the tension on the two lines is maintained
without the use of brakes. This feature enables the rig to be used
for downhill yarding on the steepest hillsides, for crossing swamps,

ture of power. . ;
_ The Lidgerwood skidder is usually mounted with its own log-
loader just ahead of it, on a steel flat car, both engines taking steam
from the same boiler. The car is provided with four hydraulic jacks
at the corners, by which it can be set up on blocks, or “crabbed”
sideways off the railroad to its own setting at the foot of the spar tree.
_. These systems are at their best among moderate-sized timber,
and for spans up to 1,000 feet, although spans of 1,500 feet and more
have been successfully operated. The average capacity in favorable
ircumstances may reach 50, 60 or even 70 thousand feet per day per
machine, in Puget Sound forests, and the line speed may be from
400 feet to 800 feet per minute.

_ MacFarlane System: This overhead system is notable more from
its originality than from its popularity, as there are very few in use.
_ There is the usual head and tail tree, but the sky line instead of
being fixed is wound on the skidding and trip drums of the engine,
nd the whole span is raised, lowered, or traversed as would be the
skidding line in the ordinary system. This feature, as you can see,
entails a very massive design of engine, with large drums and very
powerful brakes; and the operation of such a quantity of heavy cable
makes the work of the woods crew more precarious. I have seen much
time lost by the crew “bolting” into the woods after hooking a log,
and-having to return a corresponding distance to replace the chokers
when they slipped.

_ High Lead System: I have mentioned the MacFarlane system

because it marks a step in the evolution of the High Lead than
any particular merits it possesses. Its principal weakness, as |
aid, is the great size of drums and brakes to keep such a ten-
the lines as will lift the log off the ground. But if we were
e no attempt to keep the log off the ground, this objection would
, and we should then have evolved, to all intents and purposes,
lead yarding system. :

.a little difficult to describe the rigging and method of opera-
hout the aid of diagrams, but I shall try to put matters as
as possible. Suppose we choose a spar tree near our railroad
ne as possible, and cut the top hamper from it. We
vires all around to convenient stumps, using from

ravines and other natural obstructions, all with the minimum, expendi-

L erokins

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 31

four to nine, according to the height of the tree. At least two of
these guys must cross the railroad, to be used for loading. To the
top of the spar tree we attach the high lead block, which has been
designed specially for this work, and takes the place of the old bull-
block. It is built with large diameter sheave, and large oil reser-
voirs in the side plates. This block is commonly from 100 to 18@
feet from the ground, so it is essential that it should hold enough oil
to last about a week at least.

The weight of the block may be from 700 to 1,300 pounds, de-
pending on the size, and the greatest care should be taken to see
that the straps and rigging that support the block are strong enough,
and well put on.

The yarding donkey may be set in any position from right against
the spar tree to 150 feet away from it—the latter position is the safer
if any accident happens to the rigging. From the main drum of the
donkey the line is led up through the high lead block and out into
the woods, while the trip or haulback line may be led in the same
way, or along the ground if preferred, to the trip block which is at-
tached to a convenient stump.

The logs are pulled from every direction radially towards the
spar tree as a centre, and are dropped promiscuously in a pile at the
base of the spar. It would be impossible with this system to pull
the logs to a landing (unless a separate donkey were used for the
purpose) so no attempt is made to arrange the logs parallel to the
track. The pull on each log as it is being yarded, comes from the
top of the spar, which tends to lift the front end of the log over any
obstructions, and makes an enormous difference in the speed and ease
of yarding. Also, there is no sniping or pointing of the logs required,
and the condition of the logs reaching the mill is greatly improved by
the absence of stones.

I havé it from mill men that the trouble from stones in the logs
is only one-tenth as great with the high lead as with ground yarding,
and this makes a very considerable saving in the upkeep and life of the

23 Cinch Rope Block
Caen

saws. A great deal less brush and mud is also pulled in with the logs
from the high lead system, which makes the work of the loaders
much more tolerable. '

_ The capacity of an ordinary compound geared yarding donkey
is commonly increased from 15 to 30 per cent. by the change from
ground yarding to high lead yarding, but the full benefit of the high
lead can only be realized by using a machine capable of higher line
speeds. For this reason the firm with which I am associated have
put on the market the Simplex Yarder, a long stroke, direct geared
donkey, having considerably higher line speed than the ground yarder,
yet powerful enough to be used for ground work if required. Line
speeds for ground yarders vary from 200 to 270 feet per minute, and
for Simplex yarders from 300 to 350 feet. The haulback drums have
been correspondingly speeded up, as it is just as important to get the
line out into the woods quickly as it is to get home the log. With
modern “Simplex” yarders it has been found quite possible to aver-
age from 100 to 125 thousand a day, and in one exceptionally favor-
able situation 200 thousand a day has been yarded.

These great capacities of the yarder have necessitated a corres-
ponding speeding up of the loading facilities, for it is no use yarding
125 thousand if your loader can only get rid of 60 or 70 thousand a
day. The difficulty is rendered greater by the logs coming in promis-
cuously, and lying across each other in a heap at the base of the spar
tree, so that ordinary loading engine has no chance of loading even
half the output of the yarder. As far back as 1910, the Washington
Iron Works designed and built what they called a “Duplex” loader;
from the fact that it consisted of two entirely independent and similar
units, which handled both ends of the log simultaneously with two
loading lines; and this engine has proved to be the one touch neces-
sary to complete the success of the high lead system. The machine
consists of two nine by ten and one-quarter double cylinder reversible
engines, mounted one above the other, each driving a loading drum
directly bolted to its gear, An extra drum is provided on the lower
engine for car spotting, but the essential feature of the loader is the
driving of the loading drums without the use of frictions, and the

32 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

reversibility of the engine to do away with the use of brakes and haul-
back lines.

When I described the rigging of the spar tree, I mentioned that
two at least of the guy wires should pass across the track, to be used
for loading ; and I shall try now to make this part of the system clear.
On each of these two guy lines crossing the track is mounted a small
two-wheeled trolley, or “loading jack,” which is anchored, by a tag-
line from the spar tree, so as to hang directly above the track. To the
underside of each loading jack is suspended a loading block (prefer-
ably of the oil-reservoir or auto-lubricating type) and on the spar
tree itself, at a point some distance below the high lead block, are hung
two more loading blocks. The loading lines are led from the two
drums of the loader up the spar tree, through the two blocks on the
spar, and down through the blocks: on the loading jacks. At the end
of each line is fixed a set of tongs (which must be of high tensile
steel) by which the log is lifted.

Two men take each one of these tongs, and run out to the pile of
logs, slack being paid out to them by steam. If only one end of the
log to be loaded is accessible, that end only is caught by a pair of
tongs, and the whole log pulled out of the pile by one loading line.
As soon as the other end is clear, the other pair of tongs is hooked

‘in, and the log can then be pulled along, one end at a time or both
together, till it comes to the side of the track. It is then lifted bodily,
and hangs from the jacks, parallel to the car, and directly above it,
from which position it can be lowered gently on to the car. This meth-
od of holding the logs by both ends makes the operation of loading
logs at least twice as rapid as the older plan, and is at the same time
much easier on the cars.

With this machine we have found it easily possible to load four
cars per hour, working from the pile delivered by a high lead yarder,
and this output is far beyond the capacity of the yarder.

To complete the description of the high lead system, I should
like to refer to a special combination of high lead yarder and loader
which we have furnished several firms with, amongst them the Cherry
Valley Timber Company, Stillwater, Washington, and the Everett
Logging Company, Tulalip, Washington (Fig. 5).

These rigs were designed for camps possessing very complete
railroad facilities, and consist each of a Washington Simplex Yarder
having an extra large boiler, a Washington Duplex Loader, without
boiler, taking steam from the yarder boiler, both being mounted on
a steel flat car. The flat car is specially constructed for the purpose,
having trucks that will swivel all around the circle, and being pro-
vided with four 6-inch hydraulic jacks, one at each corner, supplied
from a pump driven by the loader. The loader is at the front end

Fig. 5—Complete High-Lead Unit Consisting of Washington ‘‘Simplex’’ Yarder
and ‘‘Duplex’’ Loader (Patent applied for) with oil burning equipment,

Cherry Valley Timber Company’s Camp, Stillwater, Wash.

of the car, the yarder in the middle, and at the back is a large oil
and water tank.

This combination has many advantages over the separate mach-
ines on sleds, where the railroad facilities are ample. A setting can
be very rapidly changed, far more rapidly than where the donkeys
are on sleds and have to pull themselves along, as the whole car can
be crabbed on to the railroad by the same method as I described for
the Lidgerwood, and then pulled by the locomotive to the new setting.
I have with me two excellent photos of the rig at the camp of the
Cherry Valley Timber Company, Stillwater, which I shall pass around.
_ The rigging of the spar tree is very clearly shown, also the loading
jacks and blocks with the log hanging from them (Fig. 6).

I believe I have described the essential features of the various
methods of handling logs as fully as I am able in a limited time, and
without the aid of diagrams or views; but there are still some facts

October 15, 1916

and figures on the cost and performance of some of them that you
might care to listen to. I give them with due reserve, as every pra¢-
tical logger has his own idea as to the cost of operating, and is ir
clined to doubt the figures given by a competitor.

First, a comparison of the cost of building a landing for gra
yarding, and rigging a spar tree for high lead yarding shows that
landing may run from one hundred and fifty dollars up, while th
spar tree works out at about sixty dollars. In cases where two side
are yarded, one spar tree will take the place of two landings, wh
makes the comparison sixty against three hundred, and the ¢

Fig. 6—High-Lead Yarding at the Cherry Valley Timber Company’s
Camp, Stillwater, Wash.

about ten cents a thousand for the loading, and two cents for thi
spar tree. gq

In this estimate I have taken not merely the cost of the actual
landing, but the whole cost, including blasting, as the stumps must be
removed and the road cleared for ground yarding at the landing,
which is not required for high leading.

Next, as the time required to string out lines. Once the spar tre
is guyed, it takes about an hour and a half to string out the yarding
and loading lines for the high lead system, and about the same for
ground yarding. For the overhead system, such as the Lidgerwood,
the Hawthorne or others, considerably more time is taken, as there
are at least two extra lines, and one of them, the sky-line, has to be
set up tight.

The actual figures covering four years working on the Me
& Ring Logging Company, Washington, give a daily average capaq
city of forty thousand for the ground and an increasing average of
fifty to seventy-five thousand for the Lidgerwood and high lead sys-
tems, these two being in this case about equal in efficiency. I maj
say that the timber is fairly small, rinning about five hundred feet te
the log, so the case is more favorable to the Lidgerwood system the
it would be with larger timber.

The comparative costs for the three systems, obtained from the
same company, give (all in cents per thousand) for the ground yard
ing 120 cents, labor only, Lidgerwood 91 cents, labor only, and high
lead 81 cents, labor only. For ground yarding upkeep of engines onh
12 cents, high lead upkeep of engines, 12 cents, and Lidgerwood up:
keep of engines 9 cents. For ground yarding cost of wire only, 1
cents, for high lead 14 cents and Lidgerwood 13 cents. “q

Again, in commenting on these figures, I may say that the yare
ers used-for high leading were old fashioned ground yarders, of
nearly obsolete type, and the Lidgerwood machine was absolute
modern, so that the upkeep charges show very unfavorably to t
high lead system. This upkeep charge is more than double what
given by other firms employing up-to-date machines. Taking #
figures as a basis of comparison, we see that the total cost is slightl
in favor of the high lead system, whilst both the Lidgerwood and #
high lead systems are far ahead of the ground yarders. Both t
Lidgerwood and the high lead are delivering from 25 to 75 per cemt
more logs at about thirty per cent. less cost per thousand feet. From
Mr. McDonald, at the Cherry Valley Timber Company, I have re-
ceived practical confirmation of the relative efficiencies of the ground
and high lead systems that I have just quoted, and for the cost of
wire he gives 15 cents per thousand for the ground system and Kf
cents a thousand for the high lead system.

United States Investigator Tells of Lumber Markets and
How to Get Into Them More Extensively

~The West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, at its monthly meet-
on Sept. 29th, had the privilege of hearing an address by Roger E.
‘immons, special investigtaor for the Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
ic Commerce, who recently studied lumber trade conditions in South
America. Mr. Simmons referred at considerable length to the markets
t Douglas fir. There was an erroneous impression, he said, to the
f that South American business men possess little intelligence
id low business ideals. On the contrary, their standards will compare
avorably with those of this country. A characteristic for which
American business men are noted is their loyalty. Mr. Sim-
said: “Secure confidence by open, square dealing, protecting the
s of your clients, and you will find South American patrons
those loyalty you can depend. The personal equation enters
ely into business. Friendship and loyalty comes in return for ser-
' In speaking of the class of dealers engaged in the lumber busi-
ss, he said that the yards are always located on important streets,
all lumber is stored in enclosed sheds, the buildings are imposing and
of good character, and are not located on the outskirts of the towns.
Some sheds have sufficient room to accommodate 3,000,000 feet, and
in times of normal business imported stocks of lumber totalling over
200,000,000 feet are carried on the southern continent.
_ Despite the fact that the forests of South America are‘vast and
contain great quantities of timber, Mr. Simmons said that American
ufacturers do not have to fear the competition of native woods
‘bécause the species are so scattered in the forests, are so
ve to log and manufacture, that the price is extremely high and
allow the payment of large import duties on foreign wood. The
‘ood that occurs in thick stands is classified as a softwood in
and is variously called Brazilian white pine, Parana pine, or
A ria. It produces an inferior type of lumber, much subject to
rarping and twisting, and is very susceptible to the attacks of fungi.
msequently it is not to be greatly feared as a competitor of American

Ni Ss. y : :
Mr. Simmons said that the high import duties on rough lumber
are imposed by the governments in the hope of helping local manufac-
turers of lumber, but, instead of accomplishing the desired result, they
ure causing the people to run largely to the use of substitutes for wood
n building construction. The duty on surfaced lumber is prohibitive,
ne believes that the interests of the American lumbermen may be
ed by exporting cut-to-size stock for stiles, rails, panels, furniture
and car material, etc., in the rough, so that the remanufacture
be accomplished by local industries of the countries to which the
por go. He said that while all of the countries of South America
sent possibilities for the increase of the exportation of lumber, he
ves that none afford the opportunities of the section termed the
ver Plate.” ‘This district is termed one of the largest, if not the
rest, import markets for lumber in the world.

Douglas Fir Shipments.

‘In speaking of the opinion regarding Douglas fir caused by the
od of handling exports, Mr. Simmons said that no complaints
iave been made as to the grades received, the volume of the cargoes,

the manner in which they have been prepared for shipment. He
aplimented the West Coast lumbermen by saying that is the only
e in which the South American dealers are perfectly satisfied
h a wood imported from the United States and their treatment by
exporters. In speaking of the inspection of shipments, he said :
result of your wisdom in estabilshing an inspection bureau and
steps to transact export business on a standardized and busi-
se basis is especially apparent in Chile, where Douglas fir in the
competition of the chief native woods is meeting over half of
public’s demand. To my mind, this is the most notable achieve-
£ American trade in South America.” To put Douglas fir on
satisfactory footing in the Plate market it is only necessary
yy the same principles that have built up such a large trade in
and Peru. The importers, who are the principal lumbermen,
- enormous stocks, and frankly say they will oppose the introduc-
of a wood. such as Douglas fir, that will force them to carry dupli-
ocks of two woods suitable for the same building purpose,
‘n yellow pine occupying the position of standard stock lum-
As both woods are usually quoted at about the same figure, the
factor will not exert any influence. Mr. Simmons says the situa-
it stands does not appear promising for Douglas fir, yet he
s that the West Coast lumbermen can open up a large and
ble market by active co-operation of all the manufacturers and
nization of export selling agencies. How this may be applied
ase the market is best told in his own words: “Through co-
n and export selling agencies you are in a position to arrange
s of the principal importers in the Plate section for the placing
eo of Douglas fir on consignment, to be paid for as it is sold.

the guidance of the importer. If the trade becomes interested, as
undoubtedly it will, importers will not seriously object to the innova-
tion. Such a plan would not interrupt present business relations nor
oppose customary system of procedure, while it provides for placing
the wood on the market for examination.” He said that he did not
believe that the establishment of local yards stocked with West Coast
woods in the Plate district would be a successful way in which to
introduce the woods, both because of the enormous costs that would
we to be sustained by the importers and the natural prejudice of the
trade. -

The importers of Chile, like those of the Plate section, have strong
and effective organizations, a good knowledge of trade conditions and
credits. By organized effort they have developed the lumber business
to its present magnitude, and intend to protect and maintain their
advantages. As in Argentina, there is a market for an increased sale
of Douglas fir, but, according to Mr. Simmons, the best manner in
which to increase the trade is not by becoming interested in local
lumber distribution, but by the co-operation of American exporters
with Chilean importers in an educational campaign to enlighten the
people as to the proper uses of wood. He says: “An educational cam-
paign is the imperative need in Chile, but more so in Peru, and of
equal importance in Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil, where it is
necessary that the people be informed how to use and what woods to
use; that proper seasoning, will prevent shrinkage, warping, and in
many cases decay; that woods can be treated to prevent rot when
exposed to dampness and also made fire resistant ; that wood does not
contract or expand with the temperature, and that it does not hold
heat or cold as steel does, and that painted lumber in the open will
probably utlast galvanized iron.

5" Regarding other possible markets for Douglas fir, Mr, Simmons
said:

“In Brazil there exists an immediate opening for marketing a
softwood to substitute for Swedish pine, this lumber to be brought to
Brazil only in the form of deals, 3 x 9, 14 to 18 feet long. The quan-
tity used ranges from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 feet annually. With the
outbreak of hostilities in Europe the supply of this Swedish lumber
has eeen practically cut off. The American wood that will success-
fully meet requirements at proper prices will not only find immediate
demand, but doubtess a permanent trade in the future.

“It is well for manufacturers of Douglas fir, with the operation of
the Panama Canal, to look to the possibilities of trade with Venezuela,
where lumber is admitted free, provided it arrives in sizes no less than
12x12 random lengths, varying from 16 to 40 feet. Douglas fir is
more readily applicable to these sizes than any other American wood,
and for that reason West Coast mills should not overlook Venezuela’s
markets.

“Lying off the coast of Venezuela is the Island of Trinidad, owned
by England. Over 10,000,000 feet of American lumber is consumed
there annually. Recently a consignment of Douglas fir salvaged from
a wrecked vessel nearby was brought to the island. It was the first
time the wood ever appeared in that market. It made a favorable
impression, and doubtless after the war enquiries for quotations will
be asked, with prospects of this lumber becoming a market standard.”

In concluding, Mr. Simmons said:

“Increased sales for United States lumber in South America can
be said to depend, first, upon filling orders with lumber properly con- *
ditioned, accurately measured, and uniformly graded; secondly, trade
extension by publicity and demonstration.

“Nothing can further these factors to greater advantage than the
co-operative export selling agencies that you propose to organize. No-
where is co-operation among lumbermen more essential than in the
development of foreign trade. I am sure if American lumbermen are
to make the most of the great opportunities that are before them in
South America they must at once perfect organizations which can
successfully not only seek foreign business, but can study to take care
of its proper transactions in such a way as to be satisfactory to foreign
purchasers and to reflect favorably on our lumber industry and the
American business character.”

A cable from Great Britain states that Col. Pelletier, agent general
for Quebec, recently left for Canada to assist with arrangements now
in progress for the development of Quebec timber lands in the special
interest of returned soldiers. Two Engilsh groups, it is reported, are
subscribing one million dollars each for the purchase of timber lands,
which will be cleared of pulp and other wood and then thrown open
for farm settlement on easy terms.

, P. P. Clark, ex-warden of Hastings County, Ont., died at his home
in Belleville recently, after several months’ illness. The late Mr.
Clark spent most of his life in St. Ola, where he was engaged in the
lumber business, owning a sawmill and conducting a general store.

Imports of timber, hewn and sawn, into New Zealand, during

Lumber Experts Going to Europe

United States Government and Lumbermen Co-operate
to Study Foreign Trade Opportunities.

The United States Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of
the Department of Commerce have examined a large number of lum-
ber experts in order to find the most suitable men to engage in an
investigation of European lumber markets, in accordance with a plan
recently decided upon by the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation, the Federal Trade Commission, the United States Forest Ser-
vice, and the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Those who
passed the examination with the most credit will be given an oral
examination at Washington, before a board composed of representa-
tives of the lumber industry and the officials of the three. government
branches concerned.

In regard to the investigation, Dr. E. E. Pratt, chief of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, has made an announcement to
the following effect: Five trade commissioners are to be chosen, who
will be specially qualified to secure and report detailed information
about the requirements of European lumber consumers and the meth-
ods and capacities of European lumber producers. All the expenses
of one commissioner will be paid by the government. The cost of the
others, including the services of a Russian interpreter, will be borne
by the National Lumber Manufacturers* Association. All will be
appointed by the Department of Commerce.

Before the end of November the commissioners appointed’ will be
holding conferences with manufacturers throughout the country, so as
to ascertain precisely what information will be of greatest value to
them. After this the commissioners will leave for Europe.

One commissioner will study lumber requirements in the United
Kingdom, Holland, and France. A second will cover Southern Europe
and Northern Africa, including Spain, Italy, Greece, Algiers, and
Egypt. A third will study conditions in the Central Empire, covering
the markets of Germany and Belgium, and perhaps those of Turkey,
and the production of Southern Germany and Austria. A fourth com-
missioner will go to Norway and Sweden, to make an estimate of the
lumber-producing power of those countries. A fifth will study condi-
tions in Russia, Siberia, and Roumania.

The investigation is to be one of the most thorough ever under-
taken, and-may extend over two years. It is expected that by the end
of the war enough information will have been collected to be of assist-
ance to American manufacturers who are then ready to handle Euro-
pean trade.

The commissioners will be expected to have a thorough acquaint-
ance with American woods, their varying qualities, the uses for which
they are best adapted, the dimensions and grades in which they are
usually marketed, and the woods that compete with them. They will
make a complete study of the European building trades, and of the
kinds, qualities, and dimensions of lumber that are most popular for
all sorts of construction—in fact, they will study every variety of mar-
ket in which the American lumber exporter is interested.

A special study will be made of the furniture trade, the methods
and requirements of cabinet-makers and carpenters, the use of Ameri-
can oak, gum, and other hardwoods, and the demand for soft and hard
' varieties of these American woods. The names and addresses of lum-
ber importers, large users, etc., will be furnished, together with the
character of their supplies.

In the course of his announcement Dr. Pratt said:

“The destruction of European forests resulting from the high
price of coal and the ravages of war will undoubtedly increase the
demand for the lower-grade mill products, and thus afford an outlet
for much material that is now in this country, either wasted outright
or wasted in part by being put to an inferior use, as once black walnut
was used for fence posts and cross ties. The possibilities of building
up a market for this part of the tree will be particularly studied.

“Tf we are to do business ‘with Europe successfully to-morrow,
as well as to-day, it is important that we know what our chief com-
petitors are doing, and for this purpose investigators are going to
Sweden and Russia. They will make estimates of the timber stands
of those countries, the means that are being developed to insure a
steady supply of good lumber, the cost and methods of logging, the
efficiency of the sawmills, the methods of selling and delivering the
finished product, and the general competitive power of those coun-
trics.

“During the progress of their investigations the commissioners-

will make preilminary reports on the more important phases of the
work, and these reports will be bulletined at once to the lumber asso-
ciations and distributed by them to their members. On their return,
they will tour the country, according to the usual practice of the
bureau’s special agents, advising with the lumber manufacturers as. to
the most profitable opportunities in European markets.

“The fact that the United States lumber producers have been
exporting to Europe some $50,000,000 of wood and its manufactures
annually is the best evidence of the future market that waits the lum-
bermen across the sea.”

Organization of American Lumber Industry for Export Tra
The information brought out at the recent conference betwee
United States Government officials and representatives of the Amer
can lumber trade, briefly summarized, is as follows :—
Belgium.—T he forests have been entirely destroyed and
nation so wrecked physically and financially that it will have tol
entirely rebuilt, and this rebuilding will have to be financed by f#
Allied powers. 4
Northern France—Northern France will have to be entirely
built. A great deal of railroad construction will have to be u
taken ; so much indeed that it is said the number of ties, sleep
timbers is beyond estimate at the present time. This same cor
holds true with regard to the farm buildings, villages and cities 0
section. This need will be definite, regardless of the outcome o
war. ‘
England.—The forests of England and those of Scotland
been almost entirely cut in an endeavor to secure material neede
the front and for building construction brought on by the war.
ber will have to be imported for practically all future buildi
new forests grow to take the place of this timber.
Italy—The supply of Italian timber has been almost
used either in Italy’s war operations or exported for the be T
allies. It is said that great quantities of lumber are in
demand. 4
Spain.—Because of the geographical situation Spain has
called upon to supply lumber to the warring nations, with the
that all marketable timber has been cut. ee.
Germany.—So far it has been impossible to secure an
upon the conditions of Germany’s timber, but it is -
it has cut as much timber as possible from the invaded
France, Belgium and Russia and has conserved home
much as possible. However, it is expected the demand fror
for foreign lumber will also be very great.
Russia.—The supply of standing timber in Russia is
both in the Baltic Provinces and in southern Siberia, but
lack of development of the timbered sections and poor trai
facilities the timber will not be available to the Allies for some tit
after peace is declared. Much development work will have to be de
before Russia takes a dominating position in the lumber world.

How to Secure These Foreign Markets

To secure this business, it was declared to be necessary only
the American lumbermen to go after the trade systematically,
an advance knowledge of the needs of the various nations, and
securing of information as to markets and business practices.
stated that the French Government has already offered to buy
ous quantities of railroad timber on twelve months’ interest-
notes.

The Government called this conference in the belief that
a function of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce to
the lumbermen to develop this market efficiently and the lum
voted to join in the movement by partially financing the expense
trade commissioners to proceed at once to Europe and begin gath
ing information. The method of working out the underwriting of
expense was left to a committee.

The most illuminating exposition of conditions abroad was
by John E. Rhodes, secretary of the Southern Pine Association,
sent a representative abroad sevéral months ago, and whose re
already fragmentarily at hand, show that the demand for Saehae
be beyond belief. France, it was shown, as well as other |
powers, is strongly prejudiced in favor of American tasebaest:
plan of rebuilding France, as being outlined by French governm:
authorities, is to have towns and villages on the community basis.
model farms on the American’ plan. The picture of utter de
presented by Mr. Rhodes, as part of his showing of the op
for American lumbermen, was striking. It so impressed |
sentatives of other lumbering regions that. they agreed tha

care for this great market, regardless of whether the interes
tricts themselves were exporters or not.

Hull Merchants Want Canadian Stocks

Timber merchants at Hull, England, continue to manifest i

in Canadian timber, but state that it is now impossible to arrai
shipping space from Canada. One Hull firm largely interes
maple floorings and blocks writes that within the past two years
have bought about £12,000 worth of maple floorings from the U:
States and £1,500 from Canada, and now have orders placed in
United States for £4,000. They state that American firms, altho
handicapped by ocean space shortage, are yet managing to make de 1
eries, though this has proved impossible i in the case of. Canadian firn

that the steamship companies have refused all business in this com-

From the Canada Lumberman of

Thirty-five Years Ago

BLACK WALNUT.—A Gloomy Outlook for Furniture Men —A

_ few years ago black walnut was a drug on the market, and was not at

all popular with furniture manufacturers and dealers, but recently it

_ has been so universally sought for and used so extensively for almost

pevery, kind of furniture that latterly it has become very scarce, and

“now it is found next to impossible to obtain a sufficient supply to

_ meet the increased demand, at almost any cost. An idea of its scarcity

P Reise value may be gained when $100 per thousand feet has been paid

this year for the same quality and quantity of black walnut as could

be purchased last year for $70. The rapidity at which the supply has

- decreased is owing to the impetus the trade has received through the

‘organization of a large number of extensive furniture companies in

the United States. The immense number of sewing machines (the

wood-work of which has been manufactured from black walnut) that

have been annually turned out, both in the States and in Canada, is

one of the principal causes of the rapid consumption. A prominent

dealer in the city states that there are now ten anxious buyers dis-

tributed throughout the States to every one there was two years ago,

_ and that there is more difficulty in procuring a few thousand feet of

the precious lumber now than there was in securing half a million

feet three years ago. When walnut first came to be used it was

obtained from Port Stanley, the Counties of Kent, Essex, and South

Neegeaet and it also grew in abundance on the banks of the Thames

_ River, Ont.; but now the Canadian supply is ‘exhausted, and lately it

has been obtained from the State of Indiana. There was such a great

| : similarity between the wood of the two countries: that manufacturers

~~ had no choice and paid the same price for either. Since the Canadian

supply has failed, the immense drain on the forests of the State of

_ Indiana has caused the supply to give out there, and now the walnut

_ (which is of a lighter shade and consequently not so good) is obtained

_ from the States of Arkansas, Kentucky, Kansas, and South Tennessee.

If walnut is not replanted at once the outlook for good furniture

in the future will be very dreary. If it were planted along the shores

_ of Lake Erie or in the counties before mentioned, or in any part of the

_ province west of Ontario, in twenty years’ time it would pay 5,000 per

Be cent so says an old arboriculturist. In the meantime the prospect is

gloomy in the extreme, and dealers look forward to a speedy and com-

iY plete exhaustion of the supply.

Editor’s note—The above was written 35 years ago. It is inter-

_ esting to note that the recent revival of interest in walnut as a furni-

_ ture wood has been met by the appearance of plentiful supplies from

United States manufacturers. First and seconds one-inch walnut is

_ worth to-day about $120 a thousand feet, without the duty. A Cana-

_ dian consumer, paying the duty, would be able to get as much walnut
3 as he wants at about $129 a.thousand feet.

_M. J. Scanion's Views on the Western Situation
M. J. Scanlon, of Minneapolis, vice-president of the Powell River
ey ed, British Columbia, in a recent report regarding the
_ future of the lumbering industry of Western Canada, said: “There are
several things that are acting against the lumber industry i in the West,
_ one of these being the scarcity of tonnage to carry the lumber, and
then there is the fact that the demand from Mexico is not so great as
it used to be. Then British Columbia has to reckon on the competi-
_ tion from the East, which is becoming a formidable factor. The people
of the United States would use more British Columbia lumber were it
t for the fact that we cannot get the class of lumber we require there,
d also that the freight rates are so high. That leaves us only one alter-

- mean to say that we have abandoned British Columbia as a lumber-
_ producing centre. Far from it, but what I wish to convey is that at the
_ present time, under conditions due to the war, our business connection

alts have gone up by oS and tates and we have to get lumber
where, we take it from the nearest and cheapest place. After
war a different state of affairs will arise. The forests of the East-
n States are being rapidly depleted of their supplies, while all the

ies, and that overproduction i is still going on, though not to the same
it as formerly. My opinion is that when times get normal, when

for reconstruction work and then will come a time of prosperity for
both countries.: The one great handicap that we are up against in the
United States is the labor situation. There is a scarcity of labor, and
there is no question of that, and until the war ends there will continue
to be a scarcity. Before the war started we were getting 1,200,000
immigrants yearly. The war has been on two years, and that makes
2,500,000, and you can easily understand the effect this is having on
the abor market.”

B. C. Lumbermen Want More of Australian Market

The royal commission to discuss,the best means of extending the
Empire’s trade has an appointment to sit in Vancouver, and the ship-
ping men, together with lumbermen there, propose to lay before it the
advisability of doing something to overcome the disadvantages under
which British Columbia lumber mills operate. The chief drawbacks
are lack of tonnage ahd the higher cost of production in British Col-
umbia than in the United States. E. W. Hamber, a director of the
Dominion Bank, and also closely identified with the lumber interests,
discussing the subject recently, said that naturally the question as to
why so much of Australia’s business goes to San Francisco when the
supplies of Douglas fir in British Columbia are so vast and so access-
ible presents itself, and leaves the impression that the mills at the
coast are not under management as effective as are those in the neigh-
boring states, which supply 228,672,576 out of a total of 238,773,612
feet imported by Australia. Mr. Hamber says as to this:

“The logging operations in British Columbia are more costly,
owing to the topographical nature of the country. It costs the British
Columbia lumberman more for his machinery and sundry require-
Owing to the
surplus of labor in the United Staes the wages of the lumbering
camps, mills, and factories are lower on the average than those pre-

vailing in British Columbia. In most cases San Francisco shipping
interests control the vessels carrying cargoes of lumber, consequently
our mills are handicapped in this regard, as is only natural wherever
preference can be given. American-owned vessels will load at Ameri-
can ports and assist American industries. It would also be found that
cargo-carrying vessels, through different added expenses, make a
slight discrimination to the ‘detriment of British Columbian ' ports,
making a difference of some 25c to 50c a thousand on the freight.”

Canada enjoys a preferential arrangement with South Africa,
which amounts to about 2% per cent. on the value of the lumber, with
the result that she does 64 per cent. of the total lumber trade with that
Some arrangement with Australia similar to
that with South Africa is sought. Australia would not be willing to
give a reference unless a reciprocal arrangement can be entered into.

Credit Men Honor Montreal Lumberman

Mr. W. Rutherford, of William Rutherford and Sons Company,
Limited, represented the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association at a
dinner organized by the Canadian Credit Men’s Trust Association,
held in Montreal on October 3. The object was to discuss the sub-
ject of legislation as it affects commercial questions, particularly in
the matter of credits. Mr. Rutherford suggested that Government
aid should be asked, because the more losses that were eliminated
from the various accounts of the companies the more there would be
for the Government to collect on earnings. Ninety per cent. of the
traders were honest, but business men had to protect themselves
against the shyster.

What Manufacturers of Logging, Sawmill and Woodworking Appliances are Doing

Do You Have Trouble With Your Boilers?

Boiler trouble which so frequently occurs at sawmills, planing
mills and woodworking plants, often causes expensive shutdowns and
the consequent loss of time. Sometimes even it results in an ex-
plosion wrecking the whole plant. We would therefore call our read-
ers’ attention to the announcement of the Dearborn Chemical Com-
pany, of Canada, Limited, on page 2 of this issfie.

The services of the Dearborn Laboratories are offered free of

charge to all power plant operators who experience difficulties due -

to unsatisfactory boiler feed supplies, it being only necessary that a
one gallon sample of the water used be submitted for analysis, to-

fit am ain 5

gether with a small sample of scale, representative of the accumulation
present in the boilers, and a description of the plant equipment and
conditions under which the boilers operate.

No charge will be made for the analysis, and a copy of the results
obtained will be furnished, together with a statement as to the com-
parative quality of the water when considered for use as a steam
boiler feed supply, recommendations as to the most suitable treatment,
and a careful estimate of the cost incurred in the successful overcom-
ing.of any and all troubles experienced, attributable either directly to
the water being used, or to the conditions under which it is being used.

P. B. Yates Plant Being Enlarged —

Yates Quality (formerly Berlin Quality), the interesting monthly
house organ published by the P. B. Yates Machine Company, of Be-
loit, Wis., and Hamilton, Ont., in its issue for July-August contains
a number of specially interesting illustrated articles. One of these
shows the extensive new plant which is being put up by the Com-
pany at Beloit. The cover of this issue is an illustration of the steel
work in progress upon the new plant. No less than 21 important ad-
ditions have been made to the plant of the company during the last
thirty years, and now the present need for more room has led to
the erection of still another addition, which will be the largest of
all, occupying a full city block adjacent to the present plant. The new
addition will be 266 x 296 feet and will contain 110,000 square feet
of working floor space.” In this way the company will secure an in-
crease of 38 per cent. in their working floor space and their annual
production will be greatly facilitated.

Installing Large Water Wheels

The S. Morgan Smith Company, York, Pa., have received con-
tracts for the installation of water wheels for the Ouiatchouan Paper
Falls Company, and Price Brothers, Ltd., the latter for their Rimouski
pulp mill and their Jonquiere pulp mill. The turbines are required
chiefly for driving grinders, and range from 350 h.p. to 1,800 h.p.

. Sturtevant Fuel Economizers

The B. F. Sturtevant Co., Boston, Mass.. have issued a bulletin

(222) describing their economizers for use in power plants and paper

mills. The bulletin is extensively illustrated and shows installations
of their economizers in a number of important plants, including those
of the Abitibi Power and Paper Company, Iroquois Falls, Ont.; the
Brompton Pulp and Paper Company, East Angus, P.O., and the St.
Lawrence Pulp and Lumber Corporation, Chandler, P.Q. Sturtevant
economizers have also been installed in a number of other Canadian
plants, including those of the Spanish River Pulp and Paper Com-
pany, Espanola, Ont.; Ontario Power Company, Thorold, Ont.; Mira=

Timber Preservation for the Farm

How the farmer may preserve his buildings by the proper
preservatives for timber is told in a bulletin just issued by the
partment of Agriculture, prepared by George M. Hunt, chemist in for-
est products at the Madison, Wis., laboratory of the Forest Service.
The bulletin is the summary of years of experimenting with timber
various ways on the farm, and through the laboratory, these e»
ments being made also in co-operation with agricultural expe
stations. The bulletin gives an exhaustive review of the causes of

methods of impregnating timber with various preservatives, and
vocates coal tar creosote as the best preservative for general use.

ment of the staves for such wooden silos is properly done there is

Miniature Sawmill as a Window Display §==»—S>

A miniature sawmill was displayed recently in the windows of T.
McAvity & Sons, Ltd., St. John, N.B., to attract attention to the lines

New Vessels Will Develop B.C. Trade

Annual Capacity for Forty Million Feet Now Being Built
—Only Canadian Cargoes on Outward Trips

In a recent communication to the Department of Trade and Com-
ce, Mr. H. R. McMillan, Special Trade Commissioner of the Do-
on Government, says that he regards the condition underlying
future trade in Canadian lumber as very greatly improved. With
special reference to British Columbia, he calls attention to the fact
that in regard to the supply of bottoms, work is now actually going
ward on nine ships, which, when completed, will carry about

9,000 feet per year, worth with outward freight earnings about
000,000. Three of these ships are being built in Victoria and six in
Vancouver, and all are being financed by Pacific Coast lumber
panies. Already the cargoes have been sold in Australia for load-
early 1917. These ships are being built under the British Col-
umbia Act, upon terms by which the outward-bound cargoes must be
Canadian. Eight of these ships will be launched and outfitted with
320 horse» power Diesel engines. The ninth will be prepared for
engines but will be operated under sail until the engines, which now
‘cost double the normal prices, can be purchased advantageously.
There is a likelihood that other companies now investigating the ques-
tion will build ships. The markets for which thesé boats are being
built are Australasia, China, and Africa.

Ms _ _Improvement of Producing Facilities.

Mr. MeMillan says that oversea buyers have already advanced as
‘one argument in favor of buying in the United States the more
extended lumber manufacturing facilities existing on the Pacific Coast
of that country as compared with Canada, but upon having discussed
this point recently with the leading operators of mills and several of
‘the leading owners of stumpage, a conclusion that a betterment of
Canadian conditions is now in sight was reached. —

Some few years ago several Jumber manufacturing companies
were started in British Columbia under such an unreasonable load of
overhead expenses that they could not compete in the open. market,
‘and, as a result, have now been closed down during the past two or
three years. Even when operating the plants just mentioned they
‘were equipped chiefly for the railroad trade, and the over-production
on the railroad market was too great for them to be able to operate.

On account of the recent interest aroused in export trade a reor-
ganization of these companies has been contemplated. Representa-
tives are now writing down the assets to a reasonable figure for opera-
tion as soon as conditions warrant. There is a strong likelihood that
yeral other mills built only for the rail trade will equip themselves
scows, docks, and other facilities for handling export shipments.
This change in policy on the part of the rail mills will be a great
improvement, as it will enable them to assist when a large volume of
export business offers, thus increasing the facilities of the ports and
rendering them partially independent of railroad market in times of
local depression, and will relieve internal lumber over-production.

Mobilizing Possible Export Lines.

_ Export of timber from the Canadian West coast up to the present
has consisted of a few staple lines, but it is intimated that a trade will
be developed in shelving, door stock, pattern stock, shingles, pine
rs, and spruce box lumber which will compete with Oregon and
fornia, and in spruce and hemlock flooring and linings which will
pete with Scandinavia. Although these articles are now produced
in British Columbia, they have never been assembled for export, and
when this can be done the overseas buyers will find it easier to assem-
assorted cargoes. Mr. McMillan intimates that the present would
an opportune time for capitalists to establish on the Pacific Coast
‘port houses, favorably known and with strong foreign connections.
says that at the present the whole Pacific Coast lumber export
e is in the hands of such houses in the United States. This ques-
ion has been discussed with several of the larger lumber companies
to whose interest it should be to enter this trade. All of these com-
panies have developed certain connections, and it is hoped that new
onnections will be formed in foreign countries. ;

them revised. Of course, this is an international matter, but it
e hoped that the trustees of the Grading Bureau and other
ies concerned may be able to do something in the way of
g the rules. :
is learned that a national advisory board is being formed in the
d States, to include representatives of the Federal Government,
holders, and manufacturers, in order to consider the serious
questions arising out of over-production of lumber on the
c Coast. The United States Federal Government is reported to
ding representatives of the timber industry to France and Ger-
‘to study the after-war demand for lumber.

. McMillan states that the Chinese lumber market is the

plement of the European, Australian, and African mar-
t: i tis t.) b>

kets. The three last named markets take only 30 to 40 per cent. of
highest grade timber in the log. The remaining timber—all low grade
—is then left to dump on the domestic market, and the Chinese and
South American markets take this low grade. The manufacturer ship-
ping to Europe, Australia, and Africa is in a bad position if he cannot
at the same time contract to ship his low grade to China and South
America. Unfortunately the trade in China is almost all in the hands
of two companies—the Chinese Import and Export Company (a Ger-
man organization, backed financially and officered by Germans) and
the Robert Dollar Company.

Several Canadian mills are interested in the Chinese business with
a view to operating some of the new boats in the Chinese trade, bring-
ing back cargoes of sulphur and rice. A few of the mills in British
Columbia are hopeful that they may establish relations with a com-
pany in China that would enable them to make a contract to cut a
fixed quantity of thirty to forty million feet per year. Smaller mills
and larger ones also hope that a package trade may be built up on the
several lines now running regularly to Japanese and Chinese ports. It
is believed that commercial development in Japan, especially now
during the activity of shipbuilding, will afford an opportunity for the
development of this class of trade. The box manufacturers also are
very hopeful of developing an export trade with China.

Shipbuilding in Nova Scotia

Continued activity is reported from the shipyards along the bay
shores of Cumberland and Colchester Counties, in Nova Scotia. The
keel was recently laid at Port Greville of a three-masted schooner of
400 tons.. Another vessel of similar class at the same place is rapidly
nearing completion. At Spencers Island a schooner of 425 tons is now
in frame. This is the first ocean-going craft to be built there in fifteen
years. The Glooscap, one of the largest sailing ships ever built in
Canada, was the product of that town’s skill. A schooner of 430 tons
is nearly ready for launching at West Advocate. Its three masts are
90-foot Douglas fir sticks. All of these vessels are being built primar-
ily for the lumber trade, and have been specially designed to meet the
requirements of that service.

Hoffman Brothers’ Fire Did Not Interfere With Business

Hoffman Brothers Company, Fort Wayne, Ind., report that a fire *
which occurred in one of their isolated buildings on the night of Octo-
ber 6th destroyed only one of their six veneer saws and a small amount
of veneers, but did not in any way affect the orders which they have
or materially decrease their production. Three new mills were in pro-
cess of construction before the fire, as it has been necessary for them
to increase their capacity to meet the demand for their product. Their
new “Plant C” will be in full operation about the 20th of October. The
firm manufacture veneers and hardwood lumber, and do a large busi-
ness in sawed veneers (single ply), in the domestic hardwoods, such as
quartered and plain red and white oak, ash, cherry, hard maple, domes-
tic black walnut, etc.; also band-sawn hardwood lumber.

Veneers for Piano Cases, etc., in Demand in Australia

There is an active demand for veneers for making piano cases
and for high-class cabinet-making. Walnut veneer is especially
favored in the Australian piano industry. Canadian manufacturers
sending a range of small samples, together with quotations upon the
basis of free-on-board steamer Montreal or St. John, are assured of
their veneers being promptly brought under the notice of the principal
Australian importers.

Good Fire Record in Dominion Railway Belt

Two hundred and ninety-nine fires occurred in the Dominion rail-
way belt under the jurisdiction of the Dominion forest rangers in the
season of 1915, and the loss of merchantable timber was somewhat
extensive. In the season just closed 90 fires occurred up to September
28, and of the total amount not one could be classéd as a real hazard,
and damage to timber was practically nil. Of the 90 fires in 1916 no
ess than 26 occurred in September.

Cost of Machinery

In connection with saw il
_costs, there is a difficult problen
for every manufacturer to work

October 15, 1916

out, and that is the cost of mach-

inery. What is meant by this is
not the original cost of any given
machine, but the proportional cost
of the item of machinery for do-
ing any given work. This must
necessarily include the cost of
machinery as compared to the
work it does, the life ofa mach-
ine, or the’ amount of deprecia-
tion in value each year, and the
chance, meantime, of some other
more up-to-date machine being in-
vented, necessitating the replacing
of the machine before it has really
served its time.

It is considered by a contributor
to the American “Hardwood Re-
cord” that machinery depreciates
about -10 per cent. each year. This
is, in substance, that the life of a
machine should be reckoned at
about ten years. This may be a
fair average, but it is not con-
clusive. There are machines in
use to-day that are 75 years old.
Other machines are sometimes

thing of the kind inside of five
years. Some machines wear out
very rapidly. Others last as long
-asaman. Estimates are compli-
cated by the claims made for some
_ new machinery that it will. pay
for itself in a very limited time.
_ The matter of machinery pay-
ing for itself raises a complicated
question. It goes without saying
+ that every machine must pay for
4 itself in a certain length of time.
Otherwise, it is a loss. But to
make it pay for itself, a certain
_ amount each year must be allowed
to the machine for its share of the
_ work, just as so much is allowed
for the machinist. This is one
' way of looking at it. There is
another way. There are those
who say that improved machinery
will do more work than others
“previously in use at the same la-
_ bor cost. This is frequently true,
but it, like lots of other truisms,
depends to a certain extent on
_ other things.
In the first place, if it effects
a saving over the old machine,
~ you will have an advantage in
§ first cost until your competitor
puts in the new machine also.
_ Then the situation changes. You
haven't any more advantage over
| the other man in the business than
_ you formerly had, and the benefits
| that accrue from the saving go to
| the world in general by cheapen-
ing the article produced. This
a is one of the inevitable results of
. _ competition, and is a point which
must be considered in deciding
whether or not a machine will pay
for itself on the basis of its work
compared to the work of the older

Another factor is the possi-
ility of some other machine be-
invented soon after this new
is installed. This other ma-
e may offer such advantages
the new one that it will be-
e necessary to make a change
efore the machine has had time
© pay for itself. In this case,
you don’t buy the new machine,

-tuined through accident or some-’

. botanical exploration.

you are left behind by your com-
petitor, who will get it and then
have the advantage over you. It
is easy to see, therefore, that this
matter of the cost of machinery,
and of machines paying for them-
selves, is a subject in which one
may get tangled.

The Man Who Named the
Douglas Fir

Douglas was the family name of .
Lord Selkirk, founder of the Red
River Settlement, and it was the
name of other men who have been
prominent in Western Canada, so
that considerable doubt exists in
the popular mind as to the par-_
ticular man after whom the fam-
ous Douglas fir was named. It is
found that it was not named after
a founder, governor or chief jus-
tice, but after a remarkable man
in a humbler sphere of life. It
should also be noted, too, that
while the name of Douglas will al-
ways be associated with the com-
mon name of this magnificent tree,
yet the scientific name fails to
show any connection. It is called
scientifically Pseudotsuga, literal-
ly false hemlock. It is not false
hemlock. It is a much finer tree
than any hemlock, and it is to be
hoped that a later generation of
botanists will change the name
and give Douglas a place in it.

Regarding Douglas, Dr. Charles
S. Sargent, Director of Arnold Ar-
boretum at Harvard University,
has this to say, in a footnote in
his famous work “Silva of North
America”:

“David Douglas (1798-1834) a
Scotch gardener, sent by he Hor-
ticultural Society of London, to
explore the forests of the North-
west Territory, is from his cour-
age, energy, and success in the
presence of great difficulties and
dangers, and from his untimely
and “horrible death, a conspicuous
figure in the annals of American
Douglas,
who had been trained by Sir Wil-
liam Hooker, and had madea
short botanical journey in Eastern
America in 1823, was sent in 1824
by way of Cape Horn to the Col-
umbia River, where he arrived in
April, 1825. He spent two years
in Oregon, discovering some im-
portant trees, including Abies No-
bilis (noble fir), Abies amabilis.
(Lowland fir), and Pinus Lam-
bertiana (sugar pine), the largest
of its race.

Review of Current Trade Conditions |

Ontario

Although there is nothing specially interesting to report in con-
nection with the lumber trade situation in Ontario, as compared with
that of a fortnight ago, the general condition of the trade is fairly
satisfactory, and there is quite a fair volume of consumption in pro-
gress in all parts of the province. Of course building operations have
little or nothing to do with the volume of trade, and the building factor
has now probably been eliminated pretty well until next spring. The
general industrial situation and the extensive recruiting of men from
all parts of the province are still causing manufacturers to limit the
extent of their operations. The outlook at present is that the produc-
tion at nearly all Northern Ontario points will be very heavily reduced
during the coming winter. A wholesaler who is in very close touch
with this situation says it is a known fact that the production of lum-
ber on the north shore of Lake Huron will be cut down by at least
75,000,000 feet next summer. He also expresses a belief that the out-
put on the Georgian Bay and north shore will be 40 per cent. short of
normal. The chief reason for the curtailment is the greatly increased
cost of taking out logs in the woods during the coming winter.

The shortage of stocks is already making itself felt on the Ontario

market, and there is a fair demand and prices have been stiffening.
During the last month there has been an advance of from $1.50 to $2
a thousand on most of the soft woods that are produced in Ontario. A
wholesaler, discussing matters with us, advises us that September was

a splendid month with his firm. We have reports of a similar nature

from several other firms. This particular wholesaler has found a better
demand in practically all quarters, not only in Ontario, but for export
to the United States and to Europe. There is a shortage of common
lumber in 4, 5, 6, and 8-in.—in fact, these lines have almost disap-
peared, and stocks in nearly all other lines are low. There is a good
demand for culls, and prices are strong.

Eastern Canada

The market at St. John, N.B., continues to improve. The actual
demand has not increased to any great extent, but buyers of deals for
foreign account are taking more interest in the market. Evidently the
allied powers are expected to use great quantities during the present
fall. There is considerable activity in the making of contracts with
rotary or portable mills ‘in the interior, and a large number of these
plants are expected to operate this winter. As high as $18.50 to $19
is being offered for these winter-sawn deals. St. John operators are
seriously handicapped by the great shortage of labor and the high cost
of provisions, feed, etc. No contracts for the full 1917 cut of deals have
yet been reported, but some are expected before long. Stocks of deals
held at St. John are light. Freight rates are unchanged. Much im-
provement is reported in the American market, particularly in New
England, and prices have advanced $3 per thousand during the last
two months. Further advances are expected. The demand is keen,
and enquiries are coming in steadily. The New York market also is
improving. The car shortage is a serious handicap to the mills in con-
nection'with this trade. The rafting season on the St. John has come
to an end, and it is expected that the final statement will show a total
of between fifty and fifty-five million feet.

Boston wholesalers report that they expect the supply of lumber
to be short during the coming year. Stocks on hand are now shorter
than usual. The mills are not able to run full time as a rule, and it
costs them about as much to do three-quarters of a day’s sawing as it
did previously to do a whole day’s. Pine prices are rather unsettled.
About six months ago they showed signs of stiffening up, but when
the English demand fell off the prices went back to where they had
been previously, and the situation seems to have continued on this
basis up to the present. A strengthening tendency is shown in the
price of barn boards. One by ten-inch are selling at $40, and 1 x 8-in.
at $38. For 1x 10-in., No. 2, the price is about $37, and for 1 x 8-in.,
No. 2, about $35. For 1 x 10-in., No. 3, $31.50 is the selling price, and
for 1 x 8-in., No. 3, $30 to $31. Ten-inch are worth fully as much as
twelve-inch at present, as stocks of this size are short. Canadian
spruce boards at Boston have stiffened, and are now bringing $25 to
$27. Spruce dimension 10-in. is worth $30; 12-in., $31 ; 9-in., $29, nad
8-in. and under, $28. Spruce, random lengths, 10 and 12-in., are
bringing $29. The smaller sizes are also somewhat higher, being
worth in random lengths as follows: 2x 3-in. and 2x 5-in., $22 ; 2x4-
in., 2 x 6-in., 2x 7-in., and 4 x 4-in., $23; larger sizes up to 8-in., $24 to
$25. Some people are asking a little more than that for random spruce.
Lath are selling at $4.25 for 1 5/8-in. and $3.80 to $4 for 114-in.

The demand for shingles at Boston is steady and quite satisfactory
for this time of year. White cedar extras are selling at $3.45 to $3.60

‘to 2 in. 16in., best grade, are worth about $3.75. Washington per!

Great Britain

The lumber trade a London has recently been enjoying a ¢
siderable increase in the volume of business, largely on acco
extensive orders placed by the British Government. Most of
tracts call for early delivery and the result is a general impr
in the demand for certain “spot” sizes, followed by a sudden
in prices. Importers, agents, brokers and merchants are
optimistic. The market, however, does not present anyth
way of a stable appearance and quiet times and busy times
as likely to succeed one another in the near future as they
some time past. There has been a good demand for deals, e
for 4 inch, due to the shortage of White Sea goods. Eleven ir
are selling at abnormally high prices. Spruce and whitewood a
in strong demand. Da

At Liverpool, trade has been rather quiet. Spruce arri
been in fair quantity and have come forward on easier rates of freig
so that good opportunities have been offering for holders to reduce
their prices to a moderate average. The demand, however, has not
been strong, and importers are not showing much of an inclination to
increase their stocks. The easier freight rates did not hold for any
length of time and they are now on the up grade again, showing ey
indication of reaching their former record heights. The probabi
is that liner parcels will be very scarce as so much more attractive
freight is offering. The demand for floorings is poor and stocks are
heavy, so that holders are satisfied to get out without any actual loss

The trade at Manchester is quiet. Buyers apparently have de-
cided not to take on stock until there is a more confident feeling al
round, particularly as regards military requirements in the matter of
men. There is, however, a steady consumption all the time in

still at 250s, October shipment, at latest reports. Timber imports
to all sections of the Manchester canal for the eight months ending
August 31st, 1916, amounted to 205,525 loads, as compared with
259,328 loads for the corresponding period of 1915. a |
Business continues quiet at Glasgow. No alteration is reported
connection with spruce, although the sales recorded are at rather firn
prices than before and the general opinion is that prices have touc
bottom and may be expected to stiffen up to some extent. Th
mand is very light, most of the sales reported being of a retail ch
acter. bs

United States

The car shortage situation continues to be the most impo
feature in connection with the lumber trade situation in the
States. No relief is reported as yet, and lumber shippers in all
of the country are experiencing much difficulty. The scarcity of
is most pronounced in the South, and comes at a time when m
turers, after a long period of low values, are commencing to r
heavy demand at more satisfactory prices. On account of the ¢
scarcity, however, they are not able to take full advantage of t
improvement in the demand. Every railroad in the country is s
of rolling stock, and never in their history have they experiencec
great a demand for their services. Apparently there is no immedi
improvement in sight. Retailers are finding it difficult to obtain stocks
and many of them are trying to anticipate their wants for the balance
of the year so as to avoid further trouble if possible. Stiffer prices at
likely to be the result. ; i

The railroads are experiencing the greatest volume of business in
their history, and practically all of them are showing handsome profi
thus making railroad improvements possible and additions to roll
stock. The car foundries all over the country are filled with orders
equipment. The lumber industry is commencing to benefit from

situation. The demand for wood for car purposes is creating new
business for manufacturers in all sections.

The Southern Pine Association’s trade barometer for the last week
in September indicated that shipments were less than production for
the week by 10.69 per cent., while orders exceeded production by 9.66
per cent. The actual production of 153 mills for the week was 13.21
per cent. less than normal. Evidently the Southern pine manufacturers
are continuing to curtail so as to prevent the accumulation of exces-
sive amounts of stock in their yards. The trade barometer for the
West Coast Lumbermen’s Association for the week ending: October
3rd showed that the production was 11.16 per cent. below normal.
Orders were 2.87 per cent. below actual production and 14.98 per cent.

Market Correspondence

Improved Trade at St. John, N. B.

St. John, N.B., Oct. 10th—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)
—During the last two weeks the market has shown further signs of
improvement. Although the demand is not improving, there
seems to be a more optimistic feeling among the buyers of deals for
foreign account, whether for private parties or some of the allied pow-
ers at war. Most likely the latter are the chief buyers, as most of the
powers have stopped all selling to private individuals or Arms within
their boundaries, absorbing practically all stocks themseives. L[vi-
dently they are using large quantities again this fall, no doubt prepar-
ing for the winter campaign.

Prices for spot deals are firm. Contracts are being made quite
extensively with rotary or portable mills through the interior of the
province. It is said that there will be a very large number of portable
mills operating during the coming winter. Many farmers who have
small lots of logs are hauling them to the mills, having them sawn, and
selling the deals, instead of floating the logs to St. John and then sell-
ing them to the mills. Stumpage is increasing very materially in price,
and parties having wood lots of their own are asking almost prohibi-
tive prices for the standing timber. Many of the stationary mills pre-
fer not to buy at these prices, as they know it means loss, but many of
the portable mill owners come along and pay these prices. Nine times
out of ten they come out in the spring in debt, many times losing all
they possess. As they are forced to give security to the deal buyers
for advances, they put up their whole winter’s labor and many times
the fruit of their farms. So long as the purchaser of the deals is not
called upon to pay more than the contract price, he does not care;
rather it is the custom to spur on the portable mill men in this unde-
sirable way of cutting. During the last ten years the failures in the
business have been enormous. It is said that as high as $18.50 to $19
is being offered for winter-sawn deals, with scantlings, fourths, etc., at
$16 to $17. Many are said to be going in to cut with these mills.

Entire plans for logging for the St. John mills during the coming
winter have not as yet been arranged. The tremendous scarcity of
help is a great drawback in getting started for the woods. Many of
the men who are at home are digging the fall crop of potatoes, and
Maine, which always calls away a good many province men, is this
year offering higher wages than ever. It is hoped that as soon as the
harvesting is over men will not be so scarce. Of course, it is a fore-
gone conclusion that logs will cost more this year than before. With
$10 to $15 per month extra wages, much higher price for provisions and
horse feed, and inferior help, only a good winter will keep down the
cost of logs within reason. Unless the operator can sell his deals dur-
ing the coming year for a great deal more than in the past, he will have
to face a loss. As yet no contracts for full 1917 cuts of deals from
mills here have been made, but no doubt before long some sales will
have been made with the St. John mills.

Stocks of deals held here are not heavy. Many of the mills have
been idle all summer. Others have only had a short season; in fact,
to-day only Randolph & Baker, Stetson, Cutler & Co., and Murray &
Gregory are sawing at St. John, and will be the only mills to do so up
to freezing, all the others being sawn out of logs.

Freight rates remain about the same as of late. ‘Little or no
change can be said to have taken place. Coastwise few vessels are
offering, even though the freights are $6 per M feet to New York.

The American market has shown a vast improvement, especially
in New England. Prices have advanced.$3 per M during the last two
months, and this does not seem to be the end. The demand is keen,

yards are finding it necessary to place orders outside for much of their
present requirements. Prices show a tendency to advance, and are
expected to go up one dollar or more within the near future. The
demand is good also at North Tonawanda, but wholesalers are having
difficulty in filling orders on account of the scarcity of stocks. Some o
the lower grades are very scarce, and, as vessel shipments have beer
light, some dealers are purchasing stocks for rail delivery. Prices hay
been advancing of late, and higher quotations all round are expe
before the season is over. A better business is reported in Northe
pine at Chicago. The demand has increased considerably, especia
for Nos. 1, 2, and 3 in yard stock items. Prices are firm. There is;
average demand for hemlock at Buffalo, and prices have been impro
ing slightly, in sympathy with yellow pine. At North Tonawanda it

als by vessels will result in higher quotations as the season adva

Better Prices for Lumber at Ottawa

Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 10th.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)—
In the last month a heavy movement in lumber has taken place in
Ottawa, particularly in the middle or lower grades of white pine.
Prices have advanced from $1.50 to $3 per thousand on the grades”
mentioned, and before spring it is confidently expected that there will
be another sharp advance. My

The cut of lumber throughout the Ottawa Valley and Georgian |
Bay districts will fall quite materially below normal. 'g

_ One of the features of the situation is the lack of facilities for
shipping, owing to so many embargoes existing, particularly where
war munitions are being handled. There is a considerable shortage -
of labor, but this has been partly relieved of late on account of nearly
all the mills in the Ottawa Valley being closed down for the season. _
__ The wages of bushmen are higher than ever before, and difficulty
is met in getting a sufficient number of men for the woods. F

Quite a number of lumbermen are going into the woods much
more extensively than last season, partly on account of the large num-
ber of fires that have occurred on different limits and by their desire
to get the trees that were killed by fire cut this season and thus pre-
vent worms from getting into the timber. “a

Throughout the summer the mills in Ottawa have only been fairly
busy. Retail business has been rather poor, and not much building
has been done. All the retailers now report conditions much improveall
and trade generally better. y,

Improved Trade Conditions at Montreal zit
Montreal, Oct. 10th.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.) a
There is a fair demand for lumber, trade having slightly improved
since the C.P.R. raised the embargo on goods going to their Montr
terminals. Sales of box lumber have decreased. The Imperial M
tions Board has declined, for the time being, to take further deliveries
from some firms making the smaller boxes, on the ground that there is
an overproduction, although the firms are, as a matter of fact, behind
with deliveries. | .
Some descriptions of lumber, particularly in spruce, are hard te
obtain, and orders have been declined on this account. Wholesalers
find great difficulty in getting delivery from the manufacturers, who
have been handicapped by the scarcity of help. fy A
The local yards are doing a quiet trade. Building continues to be
slow, and, even were more contracts in hand, it is questionable whether
the demand for lumber would be much brisker. Contractors are find-
ing it very hard to obtain labor, and firms who are anxious to secure
men, especially for out-of-town jobs, can only get a small percentage
of their requirements. i ae

ever, for three months. The total of $205,456 is $145,440 below that of
the corresponding month for 1915, while the aggregate for the year is
$3,787,010, a loss of $725,248.

A moderate amount of lumber is going to the United Kingdom, a
tramp having been loaded for an English port. In normal times at
this period shippers have all they can do rushing goods forward, but
there is no indication that the end of the season will see anything
approaching this condition. British markets do not encourage any
large shipments. Freight rates, too, are against any heavy deliveries.

Sulphite and ground wood pulp are very scarce, and it is difficult
to get supplies for immediate requirements, most of the mills being
sold ahead. Ground wood has been selling at $31 per ton. Some mills
are considerably increasing their grinder equipment, although the pro-
duction will not come on the market until next year. The sulphite posi-
tion is very strong. The Riordon Pulp and Paper Company will com-
mence making bleached sulphite at their Merritton mill at the end of
this month.

North Shore News—Heavy Reduction in Cut

Thessalon, Ont., October 7th; (Special to the Canada Lumber-
man):—There will be a reduction of about sixty per cent. in the
log output of the north shore this season. Some of the larger firms
are not doing any logging at all and those that are operating are only
taking out about fifty per cent. of their usual amount.

The Thessalon Lumber Company, which has been operating at
Nesterville, Ont., for the last ten years, has been succeeded by the
Bishop Lumber Company, Limited, with H. H. Bishop, the well-
known Chicago lumberman as president, and A. E. Bishop, secretary
and treasurer. Archie McGee, a veteran lumberman, is woods super-
intendent. The new firm are.commencing business under the most
favorable circumstances, with one of the finest mills in the province,
and plant in the woods that is second to none. They have purchased
a large limit of 36 square miles on the Mississaga River from the
Georgian Bay Lumber Company, and are operating there at present.

Wages in the woods are very high, being $35 to $45 per month
and board, and sometimes $20 for railroad fares. The majority of
the men are coming from the province of Quebec.

The mills have been very busy this’fall shipping lumber.

Halifax Market Report

The Halifax, N.S., Chronicle, ina recent issue says :—“Since our
last report on this market English prices reacted somewhat for the
better and then eased off again. A number of small cargoes offered
at the higher prices and prices then declined. On the west coast of
Britain the price now quoted is £22, but the south coast and London
prices have improved a little, prices now quoted being £24. Since
our last report freights went down as low as 200 shillings and then
reacted to 250 shillings. In fact the last fixture for a Nova Scotia
charter was as high as 275 to 300 shillings. Though our shippers were
actually looking forward to a rise in freights in the hope that the mar-
ket would respond, it has not done so, and the general situation in
deals is by no means as bright as Nova Scotia lumbermen would wish
for. There are at present too many cargoes offering on the English
market and a lot of cargoes have been stored, on account of the pre-
vailing low prices. Also the consumption has decreased, because of
the enlistment in the army of so many workers. Deal shipments to
the United States from Halifax have been fairly active and, though
there are some pessimists on the subject, local shippers expect to see
normally large shipments from this port. The American market lately
has improved somewhat both in lumber and laths, hemlock scantling
now bring $21.

Great Forest Fires in History

The Northern Ontario forest fire of July 29th last takes rank as
the third mose serious fire catastrophe in the history of this continent.
The Hinckley fire in Minnesota in 1894 was responsible for 418 lives
and the burning over of 160,000 acres. The famous Peshtigo fire in
Wisconsin in 1871 killed 1,500 and devastated 1,200,000 acres of tim-
ber. In 1825 occurred the Miramichi fire in New Brunswick and
Maine, with a loss of 160 lives, six towns, 1,000 head of cattle, and
damage to 3,000,000 acres of forest. The Clay Belt fire in Ontario,
with 262 lives lost and 800,000 acres fire-swept, takes its place with
the great disasters of history. The Porcupine fire in 1911 killed 84
persons.

It is noteworthy that Wisconsin, Minnesota, Maine, and New
Brunswick have taken comprehensive measures to prevent further
disasters by organizing their forest patrol systems on modern lines—
building trails, lookout towers, telephones, etc., as well as carefully
supervising settlers’ clearing fires, one of the worst sources of danger.
Ontario, which has given the continent its two more recent fire catas-
trophes, has made no such move to modernize her forest guarding
system. ‘

A Good Time to Create Business by Power of Sugges

It is an old-time habit with lumber dealers to depend wholly
the trade that voluntarily comes to them. They have always indu oer
in the notion that when a man has made up his mind to do some but!
ing or repairs he would, of his own volition, come to the lumber ya
and get the materials he needed for the job. This was, and perhap
now, the attitude of the large majority of the lumber dealers ot 1
country in both city and country places. The exceptions are thi
whose enterprise and ability prompt them to discard the waiting i
and push out and stimulate people to make improvements who di
realize they needed them. I heard a preacher say, in his sermon
Sunday, that people generally do not use but a very small portio
their personality and mental ability. These enterprising deale
speak of use a larger per cent. of their ability than the average
does, and hence their greater success in their business. _

Some great writer has said that every human being has it
brain everything that another has. It is only a matter of stim
and cultivation to develop it. Every mental faculty is inhere
every normal being, but more pronounced in some than in other:
hence we see the different degrees of business acumen and abil
more developed in some business men than in others, and these1
ally are farther along to the eminence of achievements. Now, if
true, and I believe it is, that all men have the same inherent fz
don’t you think it would be a good idea to take an inventory of you
mental faculties, particularly those that apply more directly to you
business? Ask yourself if you are getting out of yourself all you ;
capable of. Don’t you believe there is a possibility of your being
to develop your business to a greater extent than you have or are 1
doing? Is your ownly ambition to “lay down” on what is in you
wait for things to come your way? If it is, you’ll never make a
cess in business or anything else. But if you have the ambition
purpose to make a success in -your business take stock of yourself
see wherein you are deficient and then go to work and cultivate th
very things that you feel the need of. ~ “5 -

The majority of you who are reading this are in small to
where the spirit of improvement is listless and dull, which is ger
attributable to a lack of means to do much of anything, but the re
reason is from a lack of stimulation. Most everybody likes to se
improvements going on, but generally at somebody else’s expense, ar
yet, in many cases, these same folks are as well able to do som
of the kind as those are who are doing it. It is the same way out a
the farmers, who, cufious to say, are usually ready and willi
spend money freely for any improvements in farm implements a
are so prone to be niggardly in the matter of building improy
especially anything for their dwellings and relative conyeni
Now, this is one of the greatest of the problems for the
dealer—how and by what methods to stimulate and cult
tory for the development of more business. It is not
after a man and ask him to build and make improveme:
when he don’t see or appreciate the need of them. You
your time on such a man, and at the same time discouraging
which is the worst part of it, for it dulls the edge of you
that is a serious thing for a business man. 7

On the contrary, the thing for you to do is to study out |

want to sell him the materials for, because, believe me, the first thit
in a sale is to make the customer feel that he ought to have it and the
next is to make him want it. ; :

How to Increase Your Sales. _—

amount of farm implements and machinery that I saw standi

farmers extended generally over the country through which

dealers were doing to counteract this indifference of feeling «
part of the farmers toward their own financial interests.
Now, we all know that, as a rule, the farmers are a thrifty c
people, especially in the smaller things. But in many of the lz
would seem they are blindly wasteful, and more on account of h
than anything else, which is a charitable way of putting it, for
cannot lay it to a lack of general intelligence. They are usually ge
buyers and sellers, as you have all experienced. But in caring for wl
they raise and their improvements they are, in the main, indiff.
and neglectful. Experts in agriculture even go so far as to say
American methods of farming are the most wasteful of any civi
country in the world. Be that as it may, we all know that the ave
farmer is neglectful about caring for his farm buildings and the

haps this is the main reason to account for the rusty, dilapidated
appearance of the farm buildings and the small number of them on the
places. Where many of you are doing business, however, the greater
number of farmers are working a close-fisted landlord who has retired
to live in the town and is spending his remaining vitality in kicking
against improvements in the town. And therefore you lumber dealers
who are-running yards where the retired landlords are not so numer-
ous have a better opportunity to cultivate your abilities for creating a
demand and supplying it. And there is hardly one of you but who
has a wide field for exercising himself in this respect by inducing
farmers to purchase material ‘for sheltering their farming tools and
other machinery which they may have. I know you have the old
habit of neglect to contend against, and this calls for a greater degree
of intelligent effort on your part. It is not enough simply to call their
attention to their leaving their stuff out to be damaged by the weather,
but you have got to be able to figure it out for them what that damage
amounts to in dollars and cents and what it will save them every year
by caring for and putting it under shelter.

Get Together in the Campaign.

It would be well if you could enlist the co-operation of your com-
petitor in this effort, for it concerns him as much as it does you, and if
you ¢an do this you can work together in planning a campaign for
waking up the farmers in the locality to the great loss they are suffer-
ing every year from this one cause, which is preventable. You cannot,
of course, get out and see every farmer on his home place, and there-
fore I would advise using the local paper to reach them. If you are an
advertiser there is no doubt but that the editor will freely publish
something every week bearing on this subject. A constant reiteration
of it in this way will attract the farmer’s notice, and before long it will
“cet under his hide” and set him to thinking about his own neglect of
his implements. When they become convinced that this is a losing
game for them they will begin to do some figuring themselves and go
to the lumber yard to see what it will cost for a building to shelter
their implements.

When they do this you must be prepared to show them the plans
and the cost of the cheapest form of a shed to something of a better
character and costing more. The idea of having these different plans
and estimates is to show each enquirer something that will be within
his means to build at that time. Some of you who are not much
acquainted with the details of building construction may call in one of
your best carpenters to assist you in making out the bill of the items.
He will readily do this for the chance of getting the job of doing the
work. These several plans I would put a-definite price on for the
structure complete. Then the customer will know just what it will
cost him. When the farmer is too busy with his work to stop it for
building I would even contract to do the whole job, including the
delivery of materials. This will apply as well to putting up other
buildings on the farms, because there are lots of farmers whose inten-
tions in the spring are to do some building in the fall. But when fall
comes something has happened or conditions are not what were
expected or they are too much occupied to do what they can get along
without till another year. This latter reason is often the more preva-
lent, and is one that the lumber dealer should have the enterprise to
take advantage of by saying:

“Here, Jim, if you haven’t time to attend to it, Pll put that build-
. . = . . . 4 .
ing just where you want it, and it will cost you complete just so much
and no more.”

This is what the future lumber dealer is going to do—sell build-
ings complete, just as the ready-cut and some lumber concerns are
now doing.

Should Also Know Farming.

And, while I am on this point, I want to say to the younger men
in the business, both dealer and his second man, that along with the
knowledge of the lumber and building business should go a knowledge
of the farmer’s business as well, so that you can talk intelligently with
any farmer about it. The taking of one or more of the farm papers
would materially assist you in doing this. It would be more valuable
to you than you may imagine, for your business is intimately con-
nected with that of the farmer.

For a few years when I was running a country yard I was a corre-
spondent of the Department of Agriculture for a certain part of my

county, and I sent in regularly reports on the crop conditions in my —

district. To get a fair average I had to obtain information from a good
many farmers. It made me a little extra work, but one can always find
time for what he really wants to do. Don’t forget that what I did in
this proved of great value to me, for it led me to seek and obtain a lot
of other information about the business of agriculture throughout the
country. In time I got so I was well posted, and many of the more
progressive farmers around there used to come to the office and talk
with me on these things I was posted on. It doesn’t hurt a lumber-
man’s business any to have a good knowledge of the farming business
and to be headquarters for all such information. Every young man

I some time ago arrived at the belief that a young man is fortuns

such an opportunity to develop himself. He has not a particle of

true development, because it comes from within and works out
like the germ in a kernel of corn. If your town is small there 2

the right idea is to refine the low grade lumber and eliminate the de-
fects so that the finished stock in a good packing box is good material
of high grade. Also it should be well dressed.

For the better grade of boxes good planer work is essential to neat
appearance and good printing, and even for the cheaper boxes where
defects remain in the lumber a good order of dressing serves to im-
prove the appearance enough to enhance the value of the package
materially, and in that way to justify even a little extra cast. The
fact of the matter is, however, that good dressing need not cost more,
and frequently does not cost as much as poor dressing.

The two factors of importance in box factory planer work are
smoothness and even thickness. The smoothness of the surface is
desirable; first for the improvement it makes in the appearance, and
second for the sake of good printing. Our best packing boxes have
some very artistic printing done on them. The box sides and ends
are made to do advertising service as well as serve the prime purpose
of protecting goods in shipment.

It is the box printing that makes the other factor important, that
of giving a positive, even thickness to the finished stock. The makers
of box printing machinery have long complained that one of the trying
problems comes from the fact that too often box stock coming from
planers will vary in thickness, which makes it difficult to do good
printing. The box boards not only’ will vary a little in thickness as
compared to each other but some will be thick on one edge and thin
on another, some will be thin on the end and thicker in the body and
some will be wavy. All of these shortcomings make for poor printing ;
‘consequently every maker of box printers is persistently arguing for
better planer work to the end that more artistic printing may be pro-
duced. A

Some of the unevenness in planer work comes from stock that is
dressed at different times. When the knives are fresh and sharp and
cutting freely the machine is set up toa given thickness. By and by
as they become dull and wear away a little the stock becomes slightly
thicker. Then they are sharpened and set up again and may be ad-
justed to the original thickness and maybe to a thicker thickness from
part of the recent run. So there is need to have some positive stand-
ards for thickness and to adhere to them religiously in order that box
stock when it reaches the printer may vary but slightly in thickness.

One of the most common and troublesome faults in planing box
stock lies in the careless adjusting of knives to bed plate which results
in making stock thicker on one edge than the other. This makes
proper printing very difficult, especially if the lumber is hard and un-

yielding, because to get an impression the dye or type must imbed
itself on one edge or the printing will be very dim on the other.
Taking it altogether box factory planer work is really more exz
ing than cabinet work, or house trim. The surface of box factory lum-
ber should be as neatly and smoothly finished as casing and base or
as furniture stock, and in the matter of thickness it is more impo
to have exactness in the box factory than in millwork, because of #
requirements for good printing. a
Therefore, instead of regarding box factory planing as a line
work in which anything will answer so that it gets the stock throug
we should really consider it as a work calling for the most up-to-d

These men wake up refreshed and ready for hard work, because they
sleep on comfortable, sanitary ALASKA Double Deck Steel Bunks.

Sanitary Steel Bunks for Your

Men Mean Dollars in Your Pocket

You know the economy of good tools, and you doubtless make a practice of buying on a quality
basis, because the best is the most economical in the long run.

Are you just as particular about the equipment of your men’s sleeping quarters? If your men
sleep on old-fashioned, vermin-infested, hard, wooden bunks, you cannot expect them to go at
their work with energy.

“Alaska” Sanitary Steel Double-Deck Bunks are absolutely vermin-proof; they are just as com-
fortable as a Pullman berth, because of their twisted-link fabric springs that “give” BUT NEVER
SAG; and they are as rigid in frame as a steel bar.

Easily knocked down for shipping, and as easily set up. Light, yet strong. Guaranteed to give
satisfaction. With Alaska sanitary mattresses and pillows, they make the ideal combination for
sleep comfort in camp.

Overcome Labor Shortage

The present labor shortage is going to seriously affect every lumberman in
Canada. Costs of logging and all camp work will be much higher than ever before.
N ow is the time for Camp Superintendents to look after every little economy pos-
sible and every idea for more work with fewer hands. One big step in the right
line would be the installation of a |

BARIENGER BRAKE

If you work in hilly country or have any upland logging to do you will be
counting on some extra expense for winding roads or on sand hilling, straw hilling
or whatever means you propose using to bring your loads safely to shipping points.
Any of these methods are costly and slow and require much labor. Not only that,
but the chance of accidents to men and horses is ever present. With a Barienger
Braking device you can bring your heavy loads straight down very steep in- ’
clines with absolutely no chance of danger. This will save you much
time and work and will greatly reduce your expenses all round.

The Barienger Brake is now in use in al. parts of the country with ex-
cellent results. Itis no experiment. Read the letters below

Gentlemen:—Am pleased to write you at this time
that the BARIENGER BRAKING DEVICE which I
bought of you early last Winter worked out in good shape.
I set this BRAKE up on my longest and steepest hill which is
about 2500 feet long and the average grade is fully 45 degrees and
in some places more than this. Our average loads were about five
cords of frozen spruce, or better than ten tons, and we handled these Sa:
loads very nicely and without any of the expense of “sand-hilling” which
has been a very considerable item heretofore. One time we loaded ten cords
or over twenty tons and the BRAKE handled the load just as well as it did the

} lighter loads. I hope to be able to put one of these BRAKES in each of my
Camps another year and figure that I will be able to build my roads enough steeper,

at and in consequence enough shorter, to save a good share of the cost of BRAKES and

CABLE. (Signed) Ovila Proulx.

Planer Belting

Amphibia Planer is one of the very few brands of Leather Belting that will give
really satisfactory service in the Lumber Industry.

The results of exposure, oil, grease and greenwood on ordinary leather, renders
a very special waterproof tannage absolutely necessary when preparing the leather
for transmission purposes.

“Goalher Like gold bas no substitute

Hundreds of large firms
are securing this service
right now with Amphibia.
We believe you are just
as progressive as the best
in the country and we
want you to try a sample
run of this better leather
belting.

A mere description of this
process as used in Am-
phibia Planer would not
convince you., What you
want is results. You want
continuous wear and per-
fect power transmission on

every shaft and pulley. A
y |

IT’S WATERPROOF

Write us today. Say under what conditions you want the belt to run. We will
recommend an Amphibia Leather Belt for your purpose that will break all your
previous records for economy in full power generated and transmitted and in low
up-keep.

O the saw mill and woodworking industries we offer an unusually good belting value in our
‘‘Acme Waterproof.’”’ This belting is specially made from the best hides to run in wet places
where only the best quality belt can ‘‘make good.” If you require any belting you should

enquire into the merits of ‘‘Goodhue Belts,” then you will buy a ‘‘Goodhue.”’
According to the conditions under which the belt has to run, we recommend ‘‘Extra,” ‘‘Standard”
or ‘‘Acme Waterproof ’’—each brand the best quality, but each made for a different service.

VANADIUM STEEL Best for Saws

_ Arrow Head Saws are manufactured from Vanadium Steel, which
is the highest grade Saw Steel made. Vanadium Steel will take a
highér temper and hold a cutting edge longer than any other steel.

All the steel we use is subject to a searching chemical analysis so
that it is practically impossible for any defective material to go into
Arrow Head Saws. Then the accuracy of our grinding machines and
the skilled workmanship employed enable us to make an absolute
guarantee that the Arrow Head Saw will cut 20 per cent. more in the
same time with the same amount of labor than any other saw made.

Crosscut Saws are of an even thickness and gradually taper back
5 gauges at the centre of the saw, which means that less-set will be
necessary and less kerf to cut. For ease and speed in working and
long service Arrow Head Saws will be found superior to all others.

F ostering the Timber Trade—Science
Be and Tariffs

An address upon “The Empire’s Timber Trade” was delivered
gy before the Timber Trade Federation of the United Kingdom,
‘by Professor Groom, M.A.D.Sc., in the course of which several refer-
ences were made to subjects of interest to lumbermen in Canada.
After a reference to the importance of co-operation between technical
Pence and industry, the speaker said it was now widely accepted :—
(1) That our industries shall be fostered or protected by some
‘means of tariff or duty.

(2) That the British Empire shall utilize its resources to the
maximum possible, which may involve a tariff policy known as Col-
onial Preference, for trade within the Empire.

se (3) That whether or not tariffs are introduced there must be
. the closest co-operation between scientific and practical work.

_ There was the question as to whether timber grown within the
Empire should receive a preference. No doubt most of the countries
vithin the Empire would agree upon some form of preference. At
the present time the nation was generally in favor of utilizing the
sources of the Empire. The trade should set about preparing its
sé at once so as to be ready with a propaganda after the war. The
trade had already experienced how the government tackle timber
irs, and would know whether they wanted that to continue in
future. If the trade decided to take action the time had arrived
et about carrying it into effect, and a strong committee should be
ppointed to deal with the matter.

_ The question then arose as to how technical science could assist
industry and contribute to the fullest utilization of the timber resources

he Empire. A piece of wood in the forest was worth 3s. per cubic
sot. When turned into mechanical pulp, it was worth 7s 6d.
irned into chemical pulp, it was worth 15s. Turner into

er, its value was 35s, or in wood pulp yarn 45s, but when
d into artificial silk it was worth £7 10s. That would afford them
idea of the value of technical science. In 1913 we imported coni-

ferous wood sawn into logs amounting to £23,000,000, pitwood £4,-
500,000, woodpulp £5,500,000, oak logs £1,750,000, manufactured
wood of various kinds £4,500,000, hardwood £4,000,000, making a
total of £43,000,000. Of that £43,000,000 the country lost most of
the wastage in cutting the wood. Researches had shown that the
waste material could be utilized to great advantage. Another large
portion of the timber was lost by decay, such as in pit-props for coal
mines, and timber used for building. Increased preservation of tim-
ber would save a large amount of money. The British Empire lost
a considerable amount of money every year through importing timber
not grown within the Empire.

The British Empire included a wider range of woods than was
possessed by any other empire in the world, and research was urgently
needed into the qualities of the lesser-known woods grown within the
Empire. Some were very light in weight, and others
heavy. Some might be regarded as useless for timber, through being
unobtainable in sufficient quantity. At the present time Great Britain
imported huge quantities of coniferous timber, some of which might
be grown at home, although it would take forty years to do anything
in that respect by means of afforestation, but the fact remained that a
large amount of money could be saved by simple research into the pre-
servation of timber, in order to prevent premature decay, either in
coal mines or in buildings. In 1913 they imported woodpulp to the
extent of 5,500,000 pounds, most of which should have been manu-
factured at home.

Douglas fir when fumed with ammonia assumed a most artistic
brown color, and in fact it was a good method of treating this wood,
Until now the wood-dyeing industry had almost exclusively been car-
ried on abroad, so that when a man wanted certain kinds of false
ebony he bought them in France or Germany; whereas they could
produce it from applewood of about 3s per foot, but when it had
been converted into false ebony abroad it usually realized about 25s
per foot. The making of false ebony was an extremely cheap and
simple process. :

A comprehensive scheme required the services not merely of .the
timber technologist, and. the practical timber merchant, but also of
engineers, chemists, and the practical workmen connected with the in-
dustry. The work required not only the laboratory, but also the re-
sults from the workshops. The government had recently published
a White Paper in regard to their views of scientific research as affect-
ing the industries of the country. He thought an Imperial Bureau
should be established in London, having. not merely a timber de-
partment, but a well-staffed, well-equipped chemical, physical, engi-
neering, and fuel departments, as well as workshops. The bureau
would be in the closest touch with the various countries of the British
Empire, and every facility for obtaining technical advice and prac-
tical advice. Probably various works would co-operate by allowing
their plant to be used for carrying out practical tests, and. by co-oper-
ation a well-thought-out scheme would not only be of national benefit,
but of Imperial benefit.

Finance Minister Takes a Hand in
Price of Paper Controversy

At a recent conference between Sir Thomas White, Minister of
Finance, representatives of the Canadian pulp and paper industries
and the Canadian publishers, a discussion took place regarding the
price of paper which has been advancing rapidly with the prospect
of still further advances. Sub-committees of the pulp manufacturers
and the publishers were appointed and these met at the call of R. W.
Breadner, the Dominion tariff expert, to endeavor to reach some basis
of contract price for the coming year. At the conference the news print
men quoted figures for renewed contracts at from 50 to 60 per cent.
higher than those now obtaining. It was admitted that the figures
were not based on the present cost of production, but the anticipated
cost, and the conditions under which the pulp industries expected to
operate. Sir Thomas White asked the publishers what they had to
say regarding the matter. Their reply was to the effect that their
worst féars had been realized,

Finance suggested that representatives of the two industries should
get together and hold a conference. He intimated that if the con-
ferences were not successful the government would be forced to take
the matter up and deal with it. Sir Thomas pointed out that the
newspaper industry was at all times a semi-national institution and
that in times such as the present it was more than ever essential to
the country as a whole.

As the Canadian publishers see the situation it resolves itself
into a matter of giving them, as Canadians, the right to keep prices
at a reasonable level, allowing for a fair profit above the cost of pro-
duction, instead of permitting paper to be exported so extensively
to the United States as to enhance the price in Canada to levels
which they consider unjustifiable. During the fiscal year ending
March 3lst, 1916, Canada increased her exports of paper by about
$5,000,000. During the twelve months ending June, 1916, Canada’s
exports of paper were valued at $21,250,296, of which $17,759,018 went
to the United States and the balance to Great Britain. During the
previous year the exports were valued at $16,200,635. Exports of
news print paper from Canada to the United States during July, 1916,
were valued at $1,534,795, where as in July, 1915, the value was
$1,218,321. In addition to paper Canada exported to the United
States pulp wood valued at $6,102,170 and wood pulp to the value of
$10,793,647.

That these exports constitute an important source of supply of
raw material for United States publishers is unquestionable and is
clearly shown by a reference to the subject in an editorial in “The
Paper Mill,” of New York, which says :—

“The Canadian newspaper publishers have exerted their influence

Optimism on the Loose But Well Meant

The Peterboro Review, Peterboro, Ont., in a recent issue con-
tained the following interesting editorial:

“A Boom in Lumbering:—Labor agents of the big lumbering |

companies of Ontario are offering men $45 a month to work in the
woods, with the prospect that the pay will be increased to fifty or
sixty dollars before the end of the season. One company in Parry
Sound district intend to operate six camps during the winter. This
would call for nearly seven hundred men to fill all the camps. So far
the company have not been able to secure the services of more than
twenty, although they have agents out in every part of the province.

“The condition of the lumber trade is always at this time of year
an excellent barometer of the business situation. If that industry
is depressed, the same is likely to be the case in every other line.
Only one year ago the operations were limited and wages did not
exceed $22 a month, as men for that work were plentiful. aay

The present boom in the lumber business is cheering, indicating
as it does a revival in the building trade, practically dead since the
beginning of the war, next summer. Normal industrial conditions are
likely to be restored, a satisfactory assurance, in view of the fact that
even if the war is continued, labor will be employed less and less in
the manufacture of munitions. :

Canadian Crops for 1916 watls

The Canadian Census and Statistics Office has published the
second or provisional annual estimate of the yield of the principal grain
crops of Canada in 1916. The reports indicate that the areas estimated
to be unproductive of grain are, if anything, larger than those already
deducted; but, pending further enquiries, no change has been made
in the harvested areas as reported last month. The results now pro-
visionally estimated are a total yield of wheat of 159,123,000 bushels
from a harvested area of 10,085,300 acres, a yield per acre of 15.78
bushels, as compared with 29 bushels last year and 15.67 bushels in
1914. The total yield of oats is now placed at 338,469,000 bushels from
9,795,000 acres, a yield per acre of 34.55 bushels, as against 45.76 bush-
els last year and 31.12 bushels in 1914. The yield of barley is 32,299,000
bushels from 1,328,800 acres, or 24.31 bushels per acre, and of rye
2,058,500 bushels from 101,420 acres, or 20.30 bushels per acre. For

Wooden Freight Car Regaining Favor

____ _ The rapid substitution of steel freight cars in the place of wooden
ears, which was taking place up to a few years ago has apparently
been checked by the great demand for steel for other uses and the
consequent difficulty in getting delivery. A return to the wooden
freight car is being reported by many of the large railroads, and,
now that they have had a good trial of the steel car the wooden car
‘is likely to get a better reception than formerly.

Railroad companies, after several years use of steel cars have
commenced to wonder whether there is any profit in pulling a 60,000
pound car around the country when a 30,000 pound car will serve

equally well. Investigation based upon actual operation has proved
that wooden freight cars, with properly distributed metal parts, would

‘save the railroads millions of dollars annually in coal consumption,
wear on wheels and other parts of the under portion, and in avoid-
ing the hauling of unnecessary weight. This statement is made on
the authority of Ralph Budd, assistant to the president of the Great
. Northern Railroad. Mr. Budd adds that a few years ago, practically

all freight cars of every type were almost entirely built of wood, but
with the advent of the steel car, the demand for wood for certain
types of cars received a severe setback. However, during the last
six or eight months there has been an increasing demand for lumber
for freight cars, possibly as a result of the shortage of steel or the
difficulty of obtaining it for several months after orders. It is now
generally believed that the wooden car had again come back into favor.
On this subject Mr. Budd says: “From an operating standpoint a loco-
metive will handle 100 cars weighing 30,000 pounds empty as easily
as it will fifty cars each weighing 60,000 pounds empty. There is no
reason why cars should be built to weigh 100,000 pounds for goods
of which you could not possibly load more than 20,000 pounds. Cars
should not weigh more than the load they carry. General merchandise
averages only five to eight tons per car, and to build cars of 80,000
pounds capacity to carry five to eight tons seems absurd.”

It will mean much to the lumber business if Mr. Budd’s ideas
prove to be correct.

Editorial Short Lengths for Busy Readers

The Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior have sent
‘eut a large number of blotters for distribution in schools and else-
where. These blotters bear printed warnings as to the danger of
fire and the value of timber, arranged in various appropriate forms
for different classes of people, including a set of Simple Simon rhymes
for the children. Incidentally.the blotters are the product of the
Forest Products Laboratory of Canada.

The Board of Trade of the city of Toronto are making an effort
to alleviate the difficulties arising out of the scarcity of freight cars
_ by urging their members to do everything they can to assist the rail-
way companies in making prompt shipments. They have sent out a
circular addressed to shippers and receivers of freight in which they
say that Toronto is suffering from the effect of embargoes placed by
the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Railways against less than
earload traffic from all points consigned to Toronto, as the result
of the accumulation of freight within the terminals awaiting de-
livery. They urge shippers and receivers to assist in the following
- ways:—(1) by promptly loading and unloading all freight; (2) by
cancelling any orders given railways that freight will not be accepted
on certain days or at certain hours, and arranging to receive freight
at any time during the working day; (3) by notifying railways and
-cartage agents, through the Board of Trade, that they will accept
and ship freight on Saturdays until 4,30 p.m’ The railways and cart-
age agents are prepared to handle freight on Saturday afternoons if
merchants will so arrange. The Board is satisfied that much relief
can be obtained by carrying out these recommendations.

The Dominions Royal Commission held several days’ sessions in
Toronto recently. On the concluding day one of the witnesses un-
der examination was Prof. B. EK. Fernow, Dean of the Faculty of For-
-estry at the University of Toronto. Dr. Fernow advocated federal
jurisdiction over the licenses for cutting timber in Canada. At present,
hhe said, each province regulated its own licensing system, and as a
result there were wide differences between the laws of the various
ovinces. For instance, in Ontario a licensee could cut without
iit, whereas in Quebec the operations were subject to a number of

est Branch of the Department. of the Interior in organizing fire pro-
tection on the Dominion Forest Reserves, and drew attention to
the fact that Ontario had fallen far behind in its forest protection
policy. Ontario was badly in need of a system of. protection similar
to that of British Columbia, which included lookout towers, tele-
phones, trails and organized fire fighting forces. He said that Canada’s
total stand of commercial timber was between 500,000,000,000 and
600,000,000,000 feet, and that the cut in any one year had never ex-
ceeded 5,000,000,000 feet, so that the supply might be considered in-
exhaustible or at least reproducible, by merely keeping fire out of
the forests.

An official statement by the Secretary of the National Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association, on the United States lumber production

for this year, based on the comparative production and rasa ¥
of over 500 firms, in 1915 and 1916, is as follows:

The totals for the first eight months of 1916 compared with the
same period in 1915 show the following:

Increase in softwood cut ...
Increase in hardwood cut

Increase in total cut ...

Increase in softwood Hinidents
Increase in hardwood shipments ...
Increase in total shipments ...

13.4 per cent.
14.2 per cent.
13.5 per cent.

9.2 per cent.
30.0 per cent.
10.5 per cent.

These reports indicate 13% per cent. more lumber produced
and 10% per cent. more lumber shipped by the end of August, 1916,
than at that date in 1915. Since car shortages and less favorable
market conditions may result in a somewhat smaller production dur-
ing the last four months of 1916 than during the last four months
of 1915, it is possible that by the end of the year the total production
will be in the neighborhood of 10 per cent. greater than in 1915.

The best estimate of the United States Forest Service is that
the lumber production of the United States did not exceed 38,000,000,-
000 feet in 1915. On the basis of the statistics received by the Asso-
ciation it looks, therefore, as if the total production in 1916 would
be in the neighborhood of 42,000,000,000 feet.

WhenPeace Comes—What About Trade

Will We Be Prepared or Groping in the Dark ?—The Situation as It Appears to
Prominent Lumbermen and Bankers

No one subject is being more widely discussed by lumbermen
to-day than the present trade situation and what it may be
expected to develop into after the war. Realizing the great inter-

est taken in this subject, particularly in the latter part of it, we
have secured from a few prominent Canadian lumbermen and trom

one of the greatest authorities upon financial affairs in Canada
their views upon the question. Every lumberman will be interested
in these interviews and letters, and will benefit by reading them
carefully. We would like to hear from others on the same subject.
It cannot be discussed too much.

Sir Edmund Walker—An Interview With the President of the
Canadian Bank of Commerce.

THINK the surprising thing to-day is not so much what we are
l accomplishing as what we have accomplished in contrast to the
position when the war broke out. You will remember that we
were only a few months past the point of greatest expansion in
the history of Canada, and that the difference between our exports and
our imports and the interest of our indebtedness abroad had, at the
end of our fiscal year, March 31, 1913, put us on the wrong side in
international affairs to the extent of at least $425,000,000. When the
war began it was perfectly evident that Great Britain must lend us
the cost of the war, which, as a matter of fact, she did for part of the
first year. At the end of the first year, however, we had improved our
international position by about $130,000,000, and by the end of the
second year we had reached a point where we were able to pay the
interest on our foreign indebtedness and also pay the cost of the war,
without much, if any, outside aid. Of course, we had some loans in
the United States for ordinary capital expenditure, which could not
be stopped suddenly ; but, without any further help from Great Britain
for our own war expenses, we began to lend money to Great Britain
to cover part of the cost of the munitions we were making for her.
That transition was a great accomplishment.

At the present moment we have been able to take up the second
Canadian war loan issued in Canada for $100,000,000, and it has been
subscribed practically twice over. That really means that outside of
the banks there were subscriptions for one and a half times the
amount, and in addition to that we have agreed to make a further loan
for munitions, making a total of $150,000,000 from the banks, besides
sums from the Canadian Government direct, which have not been
disclosed to the public.

An Amazing Accomplishment.

Taken as a whole, this is is an accomplishment that amazes us
all. You will, however, hear a certain amount of complaint from
Great Britain that we do not take so large a percentage of Imperial
obligations against munitions made here as we should. Now, if we
were a neutral country, not at war ourselves, we could take perhaps
70 or 80 per cent. of the cost of the munitions made, in Imperial obli-
gations, but it is only out of the proceeds of munitions made that we
can pay the cost of our own wat debt, and it is only what is left after
doing that, which can be taken in Imperial obligations. The British
public should understand that better than they do.

Let us consider the effect of making munitions from another point
of view. When the war is over we shall have a great many factories
equipped with plants which did not exist before. We shall have a
great many existing factories which were more or less struggling
with debt before the war, but which will now be free from debt and
will be in possession of capital. In a word, we shall have a great
accumulation both of money made and of plants created as a result
of the munition contracts. That means that whatever industrial work
we have to do when we face the peace conditions we will be infinitely
better equipped in plant, in capital, and in experience of the working
man than we ever were before.

The Transition Period.

What the period of transition will be from the moment the war
contracts stop and the soldiers begin to come home until the time
farther on, when our plants are employed to a normal extent, I do not
know, and I think no one should trouble himself too much about an
uncomfortable time that we must all pass through, the length and the
* weight of which we cannot any of us guess. :

When the American War was over I think the national debt of

Conditions To-day and After the War, by pene M

As to present conditions, all industries, including that
production, are suffering from a shortage of labor, and there
appear to be any relief in sight unless more female help can

of stock would be moving at good prices if labor to handle it we

Owing to the foregoing, the cut of logs this winter is going to
much below the average, and, in addition to this shortage, the cost
production is going to be fully 25 per cent. above normal. Almc
every article used by the lumberman has increased tremeniddeal

25 per cent. to 30 per cent. more for his product during 1917, he is
going to be in a bad way.

‘There is every indication of a car famine this winter. The rail-
“ways are not making anything like prompt movement of freight, and
we fear a very serious condition will prevail as soon as winter is on us.
“After the war conditions” is a very different problem. No one
knows when the war will end, or what is going to be the condition of
the warring nations when peace arrives. So far as Canada is con-
cerned, there is only one thing to do, and that is to prepare for the end
by making the most of the present. The war is teaching us many
lessons, some of which we seem slow to learn. One thing is sure, and
that is our participation in the conflict is adding a heavy burden on
our taxpayers which it will take years to discharge. We must, there-
fore, buckle to in real earnest, and make the very most of our natural
resources, as well as train ourselves to the highest point of efficiency.
There need be no fear as to the outcome if we only do our best and
make such preparations now, so that when our boys return from the
wart they will find our house in order, and our government prepared, if

_ necessary, to give employment on public works and improvements.

A Toronto Wholesaler’s Views, on the Situation After the War.

“After the war we may look for a general slump in the prices of
agricultural products and manufactured articles—in fact, probably a
shrinkage of values all round; but not likely much shrinkage in the
_ value of pine lumber. In ordinary times of depression there has gener-
ally been a diminished demand for lumber. The feature has been a
_ lack of trade rather than a falling off-in prices. Sales under such con-
ditions would hang fire for a period of probably a year or two, but ulti-
mately come back to former levels when better financial conditions
warranted the consumption of lumber in improvements.
The chances are that those lines of business will suffer most after

the war which have benefited most by the war. Lumber is not one of
the commodities that have benefited unduly by the war, and I think

-we may safely say there has been no increase in price consequent upon

the war. There may have been a larger demand than otherwise, but
since lumber has not been enhanced in price in consequence of the war,
it would seem reasonable to suppose that it will not depreciate in
price after the war. These remarks refer chiefly to red and white pine,
which are not subject to the same fluctuations as hemlock and yellow
pine.

There is bound to be a shortage in the output of logs during the
coming winter, for the reason that men are scarce, wages 50 per cent.
higher, and supplies nearly 50 per cent. more expensive. These fea-
tures will add to the cost of production at least $4 per thousand.

Now, even if peace should be declared suddenly, it is not likely
that the men at the front could be returned to Canada in time to make
up for the deficiency of labor in the near future. In the event of peace
being: declared, the soldiers will probably be kept under arms until
peace negotiations are well under way, which is likely to take a year,
and then, even by taxing shipping accommodation to the utmost, it
would be almost impossible to bring all the men back to Canada within
a year. It seems, therefore, that after peace is declared it will take
one and. a half to two years to restore labor to pre-war conditions.
Thus the outlook for cheaper production of lumber for the next year
or two does not seem promising. Of course, the demand may not jus-
tify the market price going up proportionately to the cost of produc-
tion, but increased cost of production should bolster up the market
value of the product.

Another feature tending to curtail the output is that manufac-
turers are hesitating to put large gangs into the woods this winter for
fear that, even if they get the logs out, labor next spring may be so
scarce that they will be unable to turn the logs into lumber. This
would mean an investment lying idle for an almost indefinite period,
with the added danger of depreciation in value of the logs.

tion of hostilities, and the declaration and establishment of
peace, there are many and widely differing opinions. It is
: . quite impossible to predict with any degree of certainty when
the war will end, or under what conditions peace will be declared, but
“one thing is already very evident, that the liabilities incurred during
the war will remain without reasonable probability of their being re-
‘duced by indemnity. The interest on wasteful and unproduction ex-
penditure will have to be paid by nations with lessened resources,
or at best diminished capital. This can only be done out of in-
-ereased revenue, which cannot be raised without heavier taxation.
In many cases the merits or faults of direct or tariff taxation will
not be worth discussion under the dire necessity of applying both
“to their highest possible productive limit. In tariff-adjustment all
questions of free trade or protection will receive little attention, when
the main object is to obtain the largest possible revenue, which does
not necessarily result from the highest scale of taxation. In direct
taxation such a rate as encroaches on capital gradually dries up the
“spring at its source, or to use a homely illustration, kills the goose
that lays the golden eggs. A high tariff and a low one are alike in
‘being poor revenue producers, whatever else may be said in favor of
‘either. There is a point at which the customs duty will yield the
highest obtainable revenue, but it is not the mose desirable one from
either a protectionist or free trade point of view, though the future
hancellor of the Exchequer or Finance Minister will have to seek
diligently, and unswervingly apply it, regardless of representations
or pressure from either side.

R Teer ct es the conditions that will obtain after the cessa-

Future trade will inevitably be hampered by the tariff taxation
of ourselves and others, yet it is from the results of increased foreign
trade we can haye the best assurance of meeting our future obliga-
tions and increasing the wealth of our country.

Our present foreign trade may be divided under three heads,
that with the United Kingdom, that with foreign countries, and that
th other portions of the Empire. Our trade with both the former
large and well established, and such further development as it is
able of has the attention of our business men, but our trade with
e last is comparatively small, and although it has received special
ernment consideration and attention does not increase very rapidly.
‘customs revenue from it is not so large as-to be a matter of very
at consideration or of the first importance. It is a business that
ms capable of great expansion if due encouragement be given it,
ind specially if all obstacles to its growth be removed.

Dominion Federation

The present Dominions were formed by the drawing together
under federal government of the provinces that now form integral
portions of them. Each of these provinces formerly had its own cus-
toms boundary with the right of levying tariff duties. A great im-
petus was given to integral trade by the inclusion of the provinces
in the common customs boundaries of the Dominions. Would it
not be possible and advisable to go one step further in the same
direction and adopt free trade between the Dominions, with some
general exceptions, such as spirituous and fermented liquors, for ex-
ample? The exceptions would be a matter of detail for discussion
and adjustment, if the principle were agreed upon and adopted.

Would it not be possible to form a Dominion council to discuss
such matters, the council to meet in London, so as to work closely
in connection with the home government, but to consist entirely of
representatives of the self-governing colonies in the first place? Such
a body might find it possible for the Dominions, while detaining
full power over their own tariffs, to give the United Kingdom a uni-
form customs preference, under whatever tariffs they severally adopt-
ed, of one-quarter, one-third, or one-half, as might be found satis-
factory to all, and agreed upon. This would have the great merits of
simplicity and uniformity without interfering with individual action.

With free trade between the Dominions not only would business
increase, but the sentimental tie would be supplemented by that of
mutual interest, not an undesirable thing, even to those who, like my-
self, believe sentiment is stronger than any other consideration. The
loss of revenue would not be comparatively great. Our business men,
and through them our entire communities, would get to know each
other better and be more closely drawn together, while increased
trade, advantages and wealth would benefit all, and that without
any great loss of present revenues, or even of prospective revenue
under present conditions.

Shipbuilding in Canada—A Great Opportunity

It is evident that for some time after the end of the war the
present scarcity of tonnage will continue, enhanced rather than dim-
inished, till matters adjust themselves. Troops and refugees will have
to be sent home, building and repair material, especially timber, deals
and lumber will have to be transported to devastated countries. Emi-
gration will have to be provided for, and food supplies taken to vari-
ous points. Not only this, but stocks of all kinds will have to be
replenished.

Now Canada is doing very little to provide for such business.

schooners and an odd steamer. This is not because there is any
scarcity of orders. It would not only be possible, but easy, to get
these here as elsewhere, and get them readily on equal terms, but
' such shipyards as we have are generally busy, and not long ago con-
gested with work, according to Sir George Foster. There is, how-
ever, an initial difficulty in the impossibility of obtaining the neces-
sary steel for shipbuilding in any reasonable time.

Two Canadian companies own the finest deposit of hematite iron
ore in the world, accessible for tide water shipment. One hundred and
forty-four thousand tons of this were shipped to Germany and Hol-
land in 1912-13. There are also at tide water enormous beds of
coal in Nova Scotia, within a short voyage of the iron ore deposits.
Why then should we not have an abundant supply of steel, and a
shipbuilding industry similar to those of the Clyde and Belfast, in
the Maritime Provinces or elsewhere?

Short Stocks and High Prices for Lumber ~
Good Trade for Those Who Have the Goods | ae

By C. W. Wilkinson, Union Lumber Company, Toronto ms)

My opinion is that freight rates will hold up for at least a year
after the war. My reason for thinking so is that there are twenty
vessels in the North Atlantic service. These twenty vessels, if they
were all used for the carriage of troops, would take about 1,000 men
to the vessel—that is to say, 20,000 men to a trip. They would make
a return trip in about three weeks, and that would mean that carrying
troops alone, they would require a year to bring back 240,000 men.
Unquestionably they will be used for the bringing back of troops in
preference to engaging in the freight or passenger business.

After the war business will be good in the export line from Can-
ada, so far as the lumber trade is concerned, because the large majority
of lumber used in Great Britain—in fact, in Europe—has formerly
been produced by Russia—considerably more than one-half of the
total consumption. If the war stopped to-morrow, Russia would have

-to disband her enormous army, and it would be a difficult matter to
get enough men into the woods in Russia now to produce any lumber
during the coming winter. If the war stops during the winter, the
woodsmen could not go into.the bush until next fall, and it would be
the summer of 1918 before they had any lumber cut which could be
placed upon the market?

In Russia there were large stocks of lumber before the war. At
Riga, one of the most important shipping ports, there were 400,000,000
feet of lumber in stock when the war broke out. Some time ago over

- 200,000,000 feet of that had been commandeered by the Russian Goy-
ernment and used. Possibly by next spring the balance will be used
up for local consumption. So much for what Russia produces; that
country, however, will be the scene of much reconstruction after the
war. Russia has been run over by the enemy, more than any other
country, and therefore it will have to be looked after to a great extent.

Another large European lumber producing country is Sweden.
Although not a large country, Sweden manufactures and exports a
great quantity of lumber. In competition with Swedish goods, Cana-
dian lumber gets the preference. Our red pine is worth more than
Swedish reds. With anything like an even break, I would not be at
all surprised if Sweden finds the competition of Canadian lumber a
much more difficult proposition in the future than it has been in the
past. Besides, it is not unlikely that Sweden will find a higher tariff
against her among the allied countries.

Then, of course, there is the enormous trade that will develop in
France. France was always supplied with lumber from other coun-
tries. She bought practically nothing from Canada, most of her sup-
plies coming from Sweden and Russia.

It looks to me, therefore, as though the export lumber business
after the war ought to be pretty good for those who have the goods.

Another thing that must not be overlooked is that it is becoming
harder each year to take out lumber. Man power is becoming scarce
and the cost of production is advancing. Even if the war were to end
to-day, it would be two years before it would be possible to over-pro-
duce in Canada.

So far as local conditions are concerned after the war, I am under
the impression that we will pass through a stage exactly like that
which we experienced when the war started. Business was very bad
at that time. There is no doubt that the country to-day is living
practically on war business. The consumption of lumber to-day is,
directly or indirectly, connected chiefly with something relating to the
war. All of this business will come to an end when peace is declared,
or shortly afterwards. No doubt the Government will not cancel all
its contracts immediately. It will do what it can to smooth over the

~éffect of which would be that other countries, whether enem

Advancing Prices—-Will They Be Permanent?

Trade conditions with us have been fair this year. The demand
has not been large, but prices have been firm and well maintained. It
would appear to us that whether, the volume of business be large or
not, prices of lumber and lumber products must advance, as tinder

_ present conditions no lumberman is able to estimate what it will cost

him to replace any stocks he now has in his yard.

During the last twelve months the costs of production have in-
creased to a much greater extent than lumber prices. We figure that
labor and supply costs have increased on an average of at least 30 per
cent., and that the efficiency of the labor we are getting has decreased
at least an equal amount, whereas lumber prices have shown an aver-
age increase of not more than 12% per cent.

We would not care to express any views as to what is likely to
develop after the close of the war in the way of volume of business,
but it would appear to us that there can be no reductions in’ lumber
prices, and that there must be an increase, if present conditions con-
tinue, and at the present time it would appear that we can expeci no
reduction in supply and labor costs for some time to. come.—Keewatin

Little Known Forest Products Widely Used

In addition to the ordinary uses of wood with which we are famil-
iar, mankind is dependent upon the forest for a variety of products
whose appearance does not indicate their origin, say members of the
United States Forest Service. Numerous as these products are, and
as extensive as is their use at the present time, science is constantly
learning new constituents which enter into the makeup of wood, and
is finding new uses to which these constituents and those already
known can be put. Powder for munitions or blasting, disinfectants for
protection against contagious diseases, and artificial silk for clothing
are among the products obtained in whole or in part from wood.

Charcoal, as everyone knows, is essential for the manufacture of
black powder. All of the acetone used as a solvent in making nitro-

cellulose powders is derived from acetic acid, a product of hardwood.

distillation. Great Britain, it is said, is dependent upon the United
States for acetone used in making cordite. Black walnut is a standard
for gunstocks, and has been so much in demand for the past two years
that the supply of this valuable wood has been considerably reduced,
and other woods, notably birch, are being substituted. From Europe
comes the complaint that there is a shortage of willow for making
wooden legs.

Pure wood alcohol is the only substance which can be converted
commercially into formaldehyde, which is universally used for disin-
fection against such contagious diseases as smallpox, scarlet fever, and
tuberculosis. The experts at the Forest Products Laboratory have
‘conducted extensive experiments on the production of grain or ethyl
alcohol from wood, and have been successful in experimental work in
raising the yield and lowering the cost of production. If this process
can be put on a commercial ‘basis, the foresters say, it will result in
putting the millions of tons of coniferous sawdust and other material
which is now wasted every year to a profitable use.

By converting cellulose, one of the elements of wood, into a gela-
tinous material, known as viscose, a wide field is opened up for the
utilization of wood waste, and a new line of products, varying all the
way from sausage casings to tapestry, is added to the already lengthy
list. Many of the so-called “silk’’ socks, neckties, and fancy braids
now on the market contain artificial silk made from wood.

About nine-tenths of all the paper which we use is made from
wood. Besides the detailed investigations of the methods of making

_ newsprint paper, and of the production of paper from woods hitherto

unused for that purpose, which have been conducted, kraft paper,
which compares favorably with the best on the market, has been pro-
duced experimentally at the Forests Products Laboratory from long-
leaf pine mill waste. This kraft paper is brown in color and is very
It is used for a variety of pur-
poses, and, cut into strips, is spun or twisted into thread, which is
then woven into onion and coffee bags, matting,’ suitcases, and wall
‘covering, similar to burlap, and furniture closely resembling that made
from reeds, as well as other articles of common use,

Within the past year the Forest Products Laboratory has, by co-
operating with manufacturers, succeeded in getting a dye made from
mill waste of osage orange put on the market as a substitute for fustic,
which is imported from Jamaica and Tehuantepec.

Shipments of lumber east bound through the Sault Ste. Marie

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 31

From the Canada Lumberman of

Thirty-five Years Ago

Consumption of Lumber in Toronto.—( From our own correspon-
dent.)—I have been endeavoring to collect a few statistics relating to
the retail lumber trade in this city, but find it exceedingly difficult to
procure figures that can be fully relied upon. The reasons for this
may be explained as follows: Upon interviewing A, he gave me a long
column of figures purporting to be a correct statement of his sales from
the yard during the year 1880. Upon enquiry, however, I found that
included in this statement are sales by car load, made by him to B and
C, who are also yard men, but had bought sev eral cars from A to retail
from ‘their yards, A happening to have the particular kinds of lumber
they needed. Upon making application to B and C, they in turn in-
formed me they had also sold considerable by car loads to other retail-
ers, all of which was comprised in the figures handed me as being
yard sales. Other retailers informed me they could not give me the
quantities they had sold, but could give the figures in dollars and cents,
so that to obtain fisures that may be taken as reliable is simply impos-
sible.

Another serious disadvantage under which the retailers labor here
is the want of organization or cohesion amongst themselves. They
seem to view each other with a kind of suspicion and distrust, so that
each man, so to speak, runs on his own track, heedless as to what his
brother chip may be doing. As witness the following experience when
visiting a few of the yards: Questioning the first I called upon as to
what price he obtained for joisting and scantling up to 16 ft. lengths,
his answer was $11 per M; on repeating the question to No. z his
reply was $11.50 per M, and No. 3 stated he would not sell under $12
per M, so that it virtually seems to be a matter of go-as-you-please
amongst them. Now, this is certaintly not as it should be, and noth-
ing tends more to demoralize the trade than such want of unity; but
if a lumbermen’s exchange was once in proper running order, so ‘that
grades could be properly established, prices regulated, "and dead-beats
shown up, and, in short, a thorough interchange of ideas take place
between one another, it would certainly be greatly to the advantage of
all concerned. ;

Another evil under which retail men are laboring here, and one
which could easily be abated by acting in concert, is the custom in
vogue amongst mill men of supplying consumers by the car load, at
rates as low, or nearly so, as that charged to the retail trade, even
going the length of bringing down half.a car for a consumer and dis-
posing of the remaining half car to the retailer. Now, this is certainly
unsatisfactory, both in principal and common justice, to the retail men,
and the yard men could soon apply the remedy if thoroughly in ear-
nest. Doubtless some of your readers will remember the tactics used
by the retailers in Chicago to remove the same trouble, and in which
I believe they were thoroughly successful. It operated in something
like the following manner: After notifying the wholesale men that
hereafter they (the retailers) would demand a royalty of $— per car,
according to grade, on all lumber sold to consumers, they calmly
waited and watched. Some of the wholesalers laughed and derided
at the demand as something preposterous, but those who disregarded
the demand soon found to their cost that they had not all the laugh to
themselves. The retailers simply blackballed all such, which meant
nothing more or less than this: We purchase no more lumber from
you until you accede to our demands; and in this way the remedy was
prompt and efficient, and there is no reason why the same means could
not be adopted and carried out here, and to the ultimate benefit of all
concerned. The lumberman is generally termed the prince of good
fellows, but sometimes there crops out amongst the best of them a
slight disposition to grasp at all the trade within their reach, and this
is more often the case among wholesale men, so that, in dull times
especially, the course taken by them in the matter of selling to con-
sumers has driven many of the retailers to the wall and has ultimately
been the cause of considerable loss to themselves.

During the year 1880 there has been sold from the yards here, in
round numbers, 30,000,000 feet lumber, 13,000,000 shingles, 15,000,000
sawn lath, and, in addition to this, there has been sold by car loads to
consumers, direct, as much more, besides a considerable quantity sold
by the factory men, who all do more or less of a retail lumber business,
and the sales of the present year bid fair to far outstrip those of its pre-
decessor, as buildings are springing up in every direction; and it is
much to be regretted for the future of Toronto that many buildings
now being erected by speculators are of such material and workman-
ship as not to add to the future glory of this, the \WWestern Metropolis.
Still, there are a number of quite pretentious and substantial buildings
now going up; and one thing to’ be noticed is, that the architects are
now demanding that all lumber used in the construction of good build-
ings shall be fairly dry, so that this will necessitate a much larger
stock of lumber to be kept on hand by retailers to meet the demand in
this respect.

Cost Finding for Mullwork Factories
d Out in Co-operation by a Large Number of Plants— a:

A Staderd Sracei Worked Oat 3 eae

Most of the articles that we have been able to publish of late in
regard to cost accounting have related to the retail ‘lumber business.
We have seen very little in the way of information about millwork
cost accounting. Lately, however, we have received a copy of a book-
let entitled “Standard Cost Finding System,” issued by the Millwork
Cost Information Bureau, 1309 Lumber Exchange Building, Chicago,
which contains a description of the system of cost finding adopted by
the bureau in connection with millwork factories. There are so many
varieties of millwork cost accounting that anything in the form of a
definite and practical system, which can be applied alike to all mill-
work factories, whether large or small, must be valuable, as it will
help to produce uniformity of methods and enable millwork factories
to analyze their costs according to scientific business principles.

The system adopted by this bureau is the result of the co-opera-
tion of all its members. It does not represent anyone’s individual
ideas, but the best features of all systems have been. studied and a
new system drawn up upon the most modern and practical lines. The
bureau has not only adopted the system for the use of its members,
but also undertakes to furnish accountants for the installation of the
system, having found that the help of their accountants 1s necessary
in order to start a firm off properly, and that it is really cheaper to
install it thoroughly in this manner than to attempt to do so without
stich assistance.

The introduction to the description of the system states that, in
addition to actual expendifure, allowance is made for interest on
capital at 6 per cent. If the turnover is three times per year, this only
amounts to 2 per cent. of sales. It also allows for depreciation on
buildings and equipment. If proper depreciation has been allowed
prior to the time of installation, or if buildings and equipment are
new, it allows the following amounts per year: 3 per cent. on brick
buildings, 5 per cent. on wood buildings, 10 per cent. on equipment.

Any method of distributing expense to individual orders or opera-
tions that accounts for every item of expense incurred in the running
of a business is worthy of much respect.. On the other hand, no mat-
ter how fair the distribution may be to the various classes of product,
a system that does not account for every dollar spent is very mislead-
ing, and, therefore, a dangerous proposition.

Many cost systems charge direct material and direct labor to the
individual job and distribute all the balance of the cost (burden)
equally to all classes of product. There are four methods commonly
used.

Method I.
Burden Equals 200 Per Cent. of Direct Labor.

By this method the burden on one pedestal using $1 worth of
material is more than on 1,000 feet of moulding, using $15 worth of
material. Suppose example No. 1 used mahogany in place of yellow
pine, material would value approximately $75, and the burden would
still be $6.

By this method if the moulding (example No. 1) is mahogany t

There are two classes of labor. Direct labor is-that labor
practical to charge “direct” to the individual order, and, as e

STANDARD COST FINDING SYSTEM

GENERAL OUTLINE

Chart No. 1

Lumber burden, divided by the number of feet of lumber handled,
equals the average amount per thousand to add to lumber. As
explained later, the burden on yellow pine, which costs approximately
$30, and may not have to be kiln dried, is much less than on mahog-
any or quartered oak costing four or five times as much and requiring
kilning.
Lumber burden includes the following:

All labor in yard and kiln and liability insurance for same.

Interest, taxes, and insurance on value of average stock carried.

Interest and taxes on ground occupied by yard, sheds, and kiln.

Interest, taxes, insurance, and depreciation on shed, kiln, and
equipment.

Maintenance and repairs on shed, kiln, and equipment.

Such part of power plant expense properly chargeable to kiln.

Such part of barn expense used in handling lumber.

Such part of office expense used in purchasing lumber.

The delivered purchase price of lumber and lumber burden equals
the factory cost of lumber.

“Other Direct Material Burden.” — Other direct material is of

- three classes—glass, stock, and material ordered special for the indi-
vidual order. This burden is arrived at in the same way as lumber.
Stock would include a carrying charge on the value of the average

_ stock, in addition to the items of expense that special material would
carry. The burden on glass, in addition, should absorb certain sup-
plies, such as putty and points. Glazing time is direct labor.

In small mills where it is impractical to divide the stock in this
way, and where there is very little stock carried, it would be more
simple and very nearly correct to consider all direct material, other
than lumber, to require a carrying charge of, say, 10 per cent. of the
invoice price of same. Do not forget that the direct material does not
include office material, repairs, and supplies, and also do not forget
that the factory cost of material, as shown by Chart No. 2, is not the
total cost, as it does not include the commercial burden.

Labor Burdens.

“Machine Burden.”—Machine Burden is the amount you have to
add “per hour” to each direct machine man’s wages to equal the sum
of the following:

‘1. All of the expense that the machinery operation directly occa-
sions (or machine expense).

2. Machine man’s portion of such other factory expense not occa-
sioned directly by the bench operation (or factory expense).

“Machine expense” is that expense peculiar to the machinery
operation. It includes the following: Such part of power plant
expense properly chargeable to machinery, carrying charges on
machine investment, indirect machine labor, maintenance and repairs
on machines, and depreciation. This is the cost per hour of running
each machine (not including wages paid machine man). Floor space
is taken into account in the factory expense. Depreciation of machin-
ery is included at 10 per cent. In planing mills making special work
we do not recommend different machine burdens. Although all
machines do not occasion an equal amount of the machine expense,
we recommend not to exceed two machine burdens in the odd-work
factory. In planing mills where any machinery operation is special-
ized it may be necessary to use more than two classes of machine bur-
dens, according to conditions, as explained later. In factories manu-
facturing both stock and odd work it is necessary to use “department
burdens,” in which case each department is treated as a separate fac-

’ tory and the machine burden determined for that department, exactly

the same as Chart No. 3, and distributed “equally” to all machines in
that department.

“Factory expense” is all factory expense that cannot be charged
“direct” to the machinery or bench operation. We recommend that
factory expense be distributed to machine and bench burdens on a
basis of “direct hours.” Machine expense plus machine men’s portion
of factory expense equals machine burden.

“Bench Burden.”—Bench burden is the amount you have to add

“per hour” to each direct bench man’s wages to equal the sum of the
following:
1. All the expense that the bench operation directly occasions.
2. Bench man’s portion of such other factory expense not occa-
sioned directly by the machinery operation.

Commercial Burden.

All of the expense | incurred in disposing of the factory product
is “commercial burden.” Certain items of expense have already been
charged to material, others to labor, and the balance is “commercial
burden. ” The best method of applying the commercial burden to the
individual order is the percentage method. The percentage meces-
sary to add to the factory cost to equal the total cost is determined,
and this same percentage is used in costing individual orders. For
planing mills and most sash and door factories one commercial bur-
den is sufficient. However, in some organizations the expense of
disposing of the factory product varies so much that it is necessary
to determine more than one commercial burden. For instance, car-
loads are sold to jobbers and branch houses not entailing any sales-
men’s or estimators’ expense. Mixed cars are often sold by sales-
men, not entailing any estimators’ expense. Shipping expense is
charged to all classes of work as commercial expense based on factory
cost. General ca anaes is all expense not previously charged or speci-
fied in Chart No. 4, and is charged to all classes of work based upon
factory cost. The commercial burden for plan estimates equals salar-
ies of plan estimators and draftsmen, its share of the following: Sales-
men salaries, shipping and general expense; for list estimates, salar-
ies of list estimators, its share of the following : Salesmen, shipping
and general; for open orders and mixed-cars, its share of the follow-
ing: Salesmen, shipping and general; for jobbing, salaries of those
who devote their time to jobbing, its share of the following: Shipping
and general.

Lumber Burden.

Refined on basis of ‘‘value” and “treatment.”

Our standard distribution of expense contemplates only one lum-
ber burden, which is an average cost of handling all lumber used.
_ This is correct for all practical purposes for planing mills doing a
general millwork buisness. The factory manufacturing both stock
and odd work should determine the cost of handling the lumber for
both classes of product.

Interest, taxes, and insurance on average stock of lumber vary
per thousand feet in accordance with “value” and turnover. Conse-
quently, these three items would be different on a thousand feet of
Western pine than on a thousand feet of quartered oak. Therefore,
these items are based upon the delivered purchase price of lumber.
As they rarely amount to over 3 per cent. of the delivered purchase
price, it would be unnecessary to determine more than one lumber
burden, unless you manufacture stock extensively, in addition to mill-
work.

Kiln and planer expense may not be necessary in the treatment
of certain kinds of lumber.
these items only against those kinds of lumber using same.

In this way various lumber burdens are determined in accord-
ance with the value and treatment. One average lumber burden is
practical and fair to the millman. The only reason the stock factory
needs more is it is cheaper to handle the lumber he uses for stock
manufacture, and if he does not determine various lumber burdens he
will burden his odd work with too little and his stock work with too
much expense.

Machine Burden.

Refined on basis of value of machine and power used.

Our standard distribution of expense contemplates not more than
two machine burdens. Interest and depreciation, also power expense,
vary for different machines. In an odd-work factory not specializing
on any particular product it is unnecessary to have more than two
machine burdens. Most of the products made use both small and
large machines. Factories manufacturing both stock and odd work
should use more than one machine burden. The investment varies
about in the same proportion as the power used, so for all practical
purposes the power plant and machinery expense can be distributed
to machines on the horse-power basis. More than two or three
machine burdens would be unnecessary, because all products would
use some of each class, and any inequality would be evened up.

The best and most accurate division of power plant and machin-
ery expense is to determine the total horse power of, say, the stock
door department—that is, the power used by all machines making
stock doors—and determine one burden for all these machines. This
will give you the average cost of running each machine used in manu-
facturing stock doors, and as they are all used in the same proportion
the total costing will be accurate. This is more fully explained under
“department burdens.” Unless you specialize or manufacture stock
extensively, do not make the mistake of using more than two machine
burdens.

Department Burdens.

As explained under “Machine Burden,’ the power plant and

machinery expense is determined for the entire door department. The

Consequently, the stock factory charges

November 1, 19 16

other factors making up machine burden, such as indirect labor, ind
rect material, and floor space, are less per machine hour in the d
department than in the cabinet department. Consequently the
machine burden is determined for the door department, and t
amount divided by the machine hours gives the amount of burden | on
each machine used in making doors.

It often happens that some of the machines in the door depart rt-
ment would be utilized to make other products than doors. Yor
must remember that the machine burden in the door departme
an average burden of all machines in that department, and, just bec
some of these machines were available for other uses, is not sufficien
reason to use the door burden in costing these orders. In other word
after the burden is determined for making doors this burden should
used only in costing door orders and the burden determined for
inet work used only in costing cabinet orders. Orders made
unusual conditions should be burdened only with the usual ex
determined for that class, as in no other way is it possible to bu
average cost. An unusual high or low cost on an individual o
lost sight of, unless it is distributed evenly against all orders o
class—which will be done in determining the burden from ti
time to meet these conditions. The selling expense on an order
sisting of one carload of doors might be ten times as great z
another order of like amount, but both orders would be costed,
the same commercial burden, and the only effect of an unusual
tion like this would be its effect upon the commercial burden
used in the future. It would surely be lost sight of in any other )

This method of department burdens used by classes makes it
sible to determine the result of manufacturing each class b
month. It is not necessary to debit and credit material to de
ments. The material used on each class is figured from the cut
bills. This saves an endless amount of work, and makes it pe
for you to know accurately your profit or loss on each class of w

If you do not manufacture extensively stock doors or sash, d
make the mistake of using department burdens.

Turn back and compare the four incorrect methods, formerly used,
with our methods shown above. To the cost of the lumbes on cars 3
add for labor handling up to factory door; also all yard and k
expense. This establishes the price for lumber charged to the vario
jobs. No one can question that in so doing we are placing that pa
the burden exactly where it should be. Example No. 1 takes care
its share of the burden, and would do so even though mahogany we
used in the place of yellow pine. Example No. 2 is consistent, as
little lumber is used, and, consequently charge for lumber burder ;
small.
Now look at the machine burden. To the actual wages paid ope

tor is added the established rate per hour to cover its portio
machinery and factory expense, and in so doing the machinery
factory expense is distributed on jobs requiring machine work in
exact proportion used. Cabinet work or trim will carry its proper p
of the burden, no more, no less. To the actual bench wages paid
added the established rate per hour to cover its portion “Of factory
expense. Thus all factory expense, exclusive of power plant and |
machinery expense, is distributed equally to the machine and bench
operation on basis of direct hours, and consequently the burden on
bench work will take care only of the correct portion of the expense —
used. To the factory cost is added commercial burden’ on the pereeras
age basis, based on factory cost.

Fire Prevention in Dominion Parks

Portable Fire Engines with Remarkable Capacity Adopted
by Government—Prevention Methods in Use

One of the most active government departments in the struggle
against the destruction of timber by forest fires is the Dominion Parks
Branch of the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, which is under the
direction of Commissioner J. B. Harkin, and has given a great deal of
study to the prevention and fighting of forest fires in the Dominion

parks. The branch has now adopted a portable fire engine which

gives remarkably good results. Most of the Dominion parks are
located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, partly in British Colum-
bia and partly in Alberta, and the problem of transporting the fire
engine in such a broken country was a very difficult one to solve. — In
an address recently delivered before the Commission of Conservation,
Mr. Harkin, referring to the portable forest fire engine, said:

During the last year our special activities in flre protective work
have related chiefly to the development of a portable gasoline fire
engine for putting out fires when they occur, and to a campaign of
education calculated to prevent the starting of fires.

In fegard to the engine, [ think it needs no argument to convince
anyone that the surest way of putting fire out is to apply water. In
forest fire fighting it is well known, especially in a mountainous coun-
try, that very little can be accomplished with buckets. It is a physical
impossibility for men to carry water under fire conditions for any
length of time, and it is equally true that usually when a man has
climbed up a rough hillside with a bucket of water there is very little
water left in the pail when he reaches the fire. It is the experience of
nearly all who have been concerned in forest protection that most of
the hie fires are what are called secondary fires—that is, fires that
have been placed under control once and left in charge of a watchman.

Very often a big wind storm comes up, carries the fire forward
despite the efforts of the watchman, and a conflagration is the result.
It was figured that if water could be got on such a confined area
quickly and in quantity we could remove one of the most serious
forest menaces. It was this that led us to figure on a portable gasoline
fire engine. :

It is obvious that light weight and high power are essential. A
great deal of time and thought was given the subject. We were for-
tunate in securing the co-operation in this work Mr. J. C. Johnston, of
the Railway Commission Fire Branch, whose mechanical aptitude
and varied experience in fire fighting and fire equipment proved in-

valuable last spring. One engine was completed last spring. Its
weight, stripped, is 118 pounds, and, equipped with solid oak base,
vtc., for work, 143 pounds. The engine is rated 6 horse power. It
delivers 20 gallons of water a minute through 1,500 feet of hose.
Assuming that it would take one man with a bucket ten minutes to
deliver 10 gallons of water at a fire you will see that this engine will
do the work of 200 men, and, of course, do it at insignificant cost. The
outfit is provided with parallel handle bars, by which two men carry
it anywhere.

There are narrow gauge trucks by which engine and hose can be
taken by horse power over the timber trails. The engine in its field
tests has exceeded our expectations. Let me read you some extracts
from reports in this connection. J. E. Sibbald, chief fire and game
warden, who was in charge of the engine part of the time, reported as
follows:

The engine enabled us to burn the brush in large piles within a
clearing of 40 feet in very dry weather without scorching the standing
trees; also enabled us to keep fire from spreading along the ground
and to entirely extinguish fires before leaving in the evening. Not
on fire started ‘up after being put out. We carried the water in one

- instance over a steep hill 200 feet high and along a clearing for 600

_ feet, the gauge showing a pressure of from 85 to 90 pounds. This

_ enabled us, by holding the nozzle close to the edge of the fire, to make

a ditch from four to six inches deep all round the fire from the force

_ of the water. This will relieve us of digging a trench round a fire, as
_ it is through the hidden roots that fires always spread.

C. Phillips, fire warden, who continued in charge of the engine,

wrote: — ‘

The whole apparatus was given a very fair four-day test at the
Alien Detention Camp at Castle Mountain last month, while the aliens
were burning large piles of brush and small timber, and the pump
_ undoubtedly kept the fire within the required area. Water was taken
_ from the river and pumped through 800 feet of hose to points where
_ required, varying from 50 to 150 feet above the water level. A pressure
_ of 90 pounds was obtained at the outlet of the pump and a stream of
_ water was thrown about 40 feet at the nozzle.

Ata test in Ottawa the engine was taken to the foot of the locks
_and, while the engine was not working as well as it should. through

unfortunate mistake in the mixing of the gasoline and oil, it worked
steadily and put water up 173 feet to the top of Parliament Hill. An
gine of that kind that can be taken any place in the mountains, by
_man power if necessary, should be of great value in extinguishing
_.

fires which are guarded, and possibly may be of great use in direct fire
fighting. The intention is to use a battery of engines. One engine
would pump through 1,500 feet of hose to a readily portable canvas
basin, and a second unit would pump from that on. We might require
a good many units, because we are never sure of having water close to
a fire. The installation is not expensive; were it so it would be useless
to consider it. The engine cost $210, the hose $165, or a total cost of
$375. By ordering in quantity we could, no dout, secure a considerable
reduction in these prices.

Motor trucks are used for transporting the fire fighting engines
and other equipment over the roads in the Dominion parks and have
been giving great satisfaction. On the rear “Fire Auto” is printed
prominently and the character of the country in which they success-
fully operate is shown in an accompanying illustration.

In continuing his address, Commissioner Harkin related the good
work accomplished in removing inflammable material from the imme-
diate vicinity of a railroad crossing, one park director saying: “We
were fortunate in having a camp of interned aliens engaged on road
construction there, and, as the road ran parallel and close to the rail-
way, we had them do a considerable amount of clearing along the
railway tracks outside the rights of way.” The result was so satisfac-
tory that the efforts of the aliens were utilized in other places.

A very detailed and widespread campaign of education was under-
taken, and the active co-operation of private firms was secured, that
rendered by the match companies being typical of all others. Mr.
Harkin said: “It is admitted tht we are creatures of habit. Habit is
at once our strength and our weakness, and we should therefore
develop careful habits in regard to fires.” He continued:

Educating the Public.

“With this object in view we started our educational work with
match boxes . We figured that, in the final analysis, practically all
fires originate from matches and, therefore, that a match box would
be a good medium of education. We took the matter up with the
match companies of Canada, and they all agreed to put the fire warn-
ing notice on their match boxes. They had to change their labels,
and they did it entirely at their own expense, because they thought the
cause a good one. On every match box put out in Canada, except per-
haps a few safety match boxes, there is a fire warning notice. That
means that nobody can take up a match box without seeing this notice,
and we hope by the process of affirmation and reiteration to influence
every man to some extent.” :

Because hunters are liable to cause fire the matter of preventing
forest fires was taken up with the manufacturers of ammunition, with
the result that now all boxes of shells contain a warning against care-
lessness with fires. One ammunition factory is pushing the plan with
much energy and is supplying dealers of sporting goods with stickers,
to be placed on all packages, appealing to the people to be careful of
The campers are another prolific source of forest fires, so that
matter was taken'up with the manufacturers of tents, and the result is
that nearly all of the companies are inserting a warning inside the
tent where the camper will see it the first thing in the morning and
the last thing at night. A notice is also stitched to the outside of the
tent. In an attempt to reach the woodmen, the axe manufacurers were
appealed to, and at least one company is affixing a label to the handle
of all the axes made that reads: “No work for the axeman if the forests
are destroyed by fire. Save them by extinguishing camp fires, cigar
and cigarette butts, and live ashes from pipes.” As many people
handle a telephone directory daily, fire prevention literature was
printed in all the directories at the request of the commision. Placards
were posted in the cabs of all engines operating through the parks
appealing to the trainmen to be careful and avoid setting fires, as the
destruction of forests means a lessening of tourist traffic and conse-
quently loss of employment for railroad men. Fire notices were posted
in the railroad coaches, and notices were printed on dining car menus,
in the time tables and similar places. Notices were placed in all hotels
in the parks, and an attractive card hung in each guest room, showing
the danger of forest fires. This card was also freely distributed in
stores, restaurants, etc. As most of the visitors to the park do some
horseback riding or driving, metal fire notices were prepared and
attached to the reins of all livery saddle ponies, in such a position that
the rider could not grasp the reins without noticing it, and the other
was attached to the dashboard and seats of all livery rigs. In addition
to all this, many placards were posted by the government on all roads
and trails in the parks.

One of the remarkable things about this campaign of education is
that almost the entire expense was borne by the private companies. In
speaking of this phase of the matter, Commissioner Harkin said: “So
far as carrying on a campaign of education is concerned, our experi-
ence has been that the business men of Canada have sufficient interest
in fire prevention and forest protection to co-operate at their own ex-
pense in carrying on a campaign of education.”

Paper Mills to Use New Woods.

Washington, Oct. 30.—As the
result of studies which have been
made at the Forest Products La-
boratory on methods of handling
wood chips suitable for paper
pulp, it is announced that Wiscon-
sin paper companies are now ne-
gotiating with the railroads for
shipment to their factories of ex-
perimental train loads of chips of
Western woods adapted to paper
making. Previous investigations
by the Forest Service have de-

' monstrated that good grades of

paper can be made from a num-
ber of Western woods. The ex-

perts now estimate that some of
these woods, when cut into chips
and dried and baled, can be de-
livered to the mills in Wisconsin
at a very small advance over the
cost of chips made from local tim-
ber. - If a favorable freight rate
can be obtained, they say, the
great quantity of pulpwood on
the national forests should prove
to be a considerable factor in sup-
plying favorably located paper
mills with the necessary raw ma-
terial. In Wisconsin alone, it is
stated, there is an annual market
for over 300,000 cords of pulp-
wood.

British shipping 39 per cent., and
Japanese 33 per cent. Up to the
time the recent purchases were
made American shipping had fall-
en off to 2 per cent., British ton-
nage had fallen off to 30 per cent.,
Japanese tonnage had increased to
55 p.c. of the total; Dutch ship-
ping had jumped from practically
nothing at all to 13 per cent. Eng-
lish tonnage fell from 150,000

Ontario

During the past fortnight there has been a decided improvement
in the lumber market situation throughout Ontario. About a month
ago it was difficult to find any wholesaler or retailer who would say
that trade was good. In fact everybody was talking about the vol-
ume of trade being very low and the demand practically dead in
many lines. Today the situation seems to have changed in prac-
tically all lines. Undoubtedly the outlook for next winter’s logging
operations which will probably be smaller than ever before, and
more costly, has had much to do with the improvement in trade, Re
tailers have realized pretty generally that anything they buy next
spring will cost them far more than what they have been paying
previously, and that if they get into the market now and obtain such
stocks as are available they are likely to come off much better than
if they wait. In addition to the small output to be expected next
winter, another factor is helping in the improvement that has lately
developed. This is the recognized scarcity of many lines of stock.
Last winter’s production was none too heavy and the quantity of
stock consumed during the past simmer, both in Ontario and abroad
has cleaned up many lines. One has only to recall the extensive
export demand and activity locally in the furniture factories, box fac-
tories, etc., to. account for the disappearance of the moderate stocks
that have come from the mills during the past year. The indications
are that we may look forward to at least as good trade during the
coming year as during the past, and this being the case there is
only one conclusion that seems reasonable, namely, that next. year
stocks will be both short and high in price. The improvement which
has taken place in the market is therefore a logical one.

It is not possible to specify particular lines which are showing any
special activity. So far as the building trade is concerned it continues
on a very quiet basis, being practically non-existent in the large cities
and only moderate in the small towns and country districts. As usu-
al, during the past year, the chief consumption continues to be for
the important wood consuming factories, especially those that are
turning out shell boxes. There is no news to publish at present in
regard to new shell box contracts, though many manufacturers are
expecting something before long on account of the placing of con-
tracts for various kinds of war supplies by Great Britain, in Canada,
to the extent of some $60,000,000, which was recently reported.

Eastern Canada.
Reports of improved trade conditions are received from most

points in Eastern Canada. During the past fortnight the trade at St.”

John has improved greatly, particularly in connection with purchasing
ahead for British, French, and United States markets. The price of
deals for next year’s cut is about the same as for last year’s, from $18
to $20 per thousand feet, according to the quality and specification.
Scantlings and fourths are bringing about $2.50 per thousand feet less
than merchantable. Enquiries from the United States are increas-
ing. Prices are about $16.50 per thousand feet for scantlings and nar-
row planks. Lath are firm at $2.75 per thousand, and the demand is
good. Stocks of shingles at St. John are practically nil, so far as the
better grades are concerned. Prices are stiffening for the local trade.
At Montreal the lumber trade has also shown improvement dur-
ing the past two weeks. There is a good demand for shell box lum-
- ber, and the general trade situation is also better.
October has been better than during any previous month this year.
Enquiries from the United States are increasing, and the volume of
trade is greater. Exports to the United Kingdom are going forward
steadily in fair quantities. Shipments of birch have been increasing,
and are now of considerable extent. Ocean freight rates continue at
from $275 to $300. .
The spruce market at Boston continues firm and offerings are
light. Random quotations are quite firm. The car shortage in
eastern Canada is preventing Canadian spruce from entering the
Boston market extensively. Current quotations are firm on the fol-
lowing basis :—2 x 3, $22.50 to $23; 2 x 4, $23.50 to $24; 2 x 5, 2 x6
and 2 x 7, $22 to $23; 2 x 8, $26 to $27; 2 x 10, $27.50 to $28; 2 x 12,
$28.50 to $29. There is a fairly good demand for shingles at Boston
and offerings are moderate. The best white cedar extras are held
at $3.60 and clears at $3.30. Red cedars are firm and are bringing
$3.85 for satisfactory makes of extras. Lath continue firm and offer-
ings are becoming smaller. Some producers are now refusing any-
thing under $4.50 for 15@ in. and $4 for plump 1% in. There is not
much trouble in disposing of anything in the way of good hardwood
stocks at Boston, so long as prompt delivery can be guaranteed.

United States ‘

The general trade activity of the United States conti
practically the only thing preventing the trade from even g
pansion is the inability’ of the railway companies to supply
transportation facilities. All reports agree that retail tr.
tending, that buying for next spring is broadening to som«
that prices continue high, labor continues scarce and th
are buying more freely in the steel market. Collections a:
to be good, and interior merchants are paying off old 4
parently therefore, United States manufacturers are in
position to weather a storm of almost any kind. Manu
the west coast report a decreased eastern rail trade, b
has been offset in an increase in the cargo trade fol
more plentiful tonnage. Production of the west coas
tinues below normal. California sugar and white pine n
report satisfactory demand. Southern pine man
suffering more severely from the car shortage than any
manufacturers. Extensive curtailment of production
the output of southern pine down practically to a level

-mand, and manufacturers are able to obtain a better pri
have for a long time past. Prices in some cases have ad
terially and are on the average about $1.50 per thousand
they were a month ago. Business is offering freely at these p
but only a small portion of it can be booked on account of th
shortage. : ae 7

Great Britain

The advancing tendency in c.i.f. prices in Great Britain
checked to some extent of late. The experience of cif.
spring was not a very pleasant one and they are holding
as a result of what they learned at that time, and are
the course of spot values very closely. Recently there ha
few runs on particular dimensions and prices have gone up
but the general level of prices has not been affected and react
set in as soon as the special orders have been completed. V
prices have been paid for 3 x 11.in. deals and for all 4 in. stock.
rates from the Baltic have become more steady and prices
goods have shown a tendency to reach a fairly definite bh
spruce market is still rather unsettled and shows a greater
between spot and c.i.f. values than in the case of Baltic y

heavy in view of the reduced consumption. I
is certain to be corrected with the end of the shipping seas
development of winter requirements. Some merchants are
their stock more firmly. Business is rather slow, but the get
tone is better and looks as though it will continue to impr ove. ¢
tions ex quay seem to be about, £28 for 9 in., £26 for 6 in.
to £25 for the smaller sizes. At Foy, Morgan and Compan

Statistics show that stocks of spruce at Mersey points still

a pretty heavy showing in spite of curtailed imports. The cor
tion has fallen off recently and has brought about rather w
conditions for c.i.f. transactions. Importers in general are
‘cautiously on account of the uncertainty of the future situation.
f.o.b. contracts have recently been placed, most of the stock b

requirements. Quotations for unsorted spruce, c.if. Belfast, were
recently reported at £20 15s for 3x 4 to6in. The demand for pine
in Great Britain has not been very keen of late, but the volume of
receipts from Eastern Canada will probably show up fairly well as

St. John Trade Much Improved

St. John, N.B., Oct. 24.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)—
The last two weeks have shown a very material improvement in the
purchasing ahead market for British, French, and American markets.
Of course, the British and French trade is purely for war material,
very little, if any, being bought by private account, the governments
preferring to handle about all the supply and also to be sure of any
stock they are buying ahead. How much they will want and the way
they are able to transport it will have a vital effect on the market. At
any moment they may stop purchasing, and-this will cause a severe
setback, as private individuals cannot purchase and pay the extreme
freights that are being asked by steamships. Very little-building is
being done in England—in fact, any persons who attempt to build any
work costing more than £500 must first obtain a permit from the gov-
ernment. ‘

Prices for deals for next year’s cut are about the same as last year
—from $18 to $20 per M, according to the quality and specifications.
Of course, the smaller the specification the lower the price, with scant-
lings and fourths about $2.50 per M less than merchantable.

The American market is firm, with many enquiries coming into
the province. Prices are netting about $16.50 per M for scantlings and
narrow planks.

Laths are stiff at $2.75 per M, with a good demand.

The shingle market at St. John is practically bare of all better
grades. Of course, there are some Ex. No. 1 and second clears. The
prices are stiffening for local trade:

The St. John River Log Driving Company have just completed
rafting operations, having rafted 54,000,000 feet during the past season.
This is some 3,000,000 feet less than rafted in 1915. It is made up as
foHows About 48,000,000 feet of spruce, 4,000,000 feet of pine, and
2,000,000 feet of cedar. Practically no logs are left in the River St.
John, from the source to the mouth, which is unusual. A few are at
Grand Falls, but this is usual, as they go in to the falls in the spring
and remain there until the following spring.

At the present moment it is almost impossible to forecast the log
cut for 1916. With the scarcity of help and the high price of food both
for man and beast, it will surely cost more to log this winter, but all
localities will not be affected to the same extent. Places where there
is a large population of farmers and lumbermen, with good crops of
oats, etc., will not be as hard hit as those in other sections.

Better Trade at Montreal

Montreal, Oct. 24.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)—Condi-
tions in the lumber trade have considerably improved of late. This is
due mainly to the demand for shell box lumber, but the situation is
also better as regards the general trade. One wholesaler stated that
October promised to be the best month this year, and another declared
that business was quite brisk. There are still complaints of difficulty
in obtaining certain lines from the manufacturers, who are hard hit by
the decrease in the labor supply.

Pulpwood prices are hardening, and supplies are also limited.

Enquiries. from the United States have increased, with a larger
volume of business passing.

The Imperial Munitions Board have called for tenders for further
quantities of boxes. The board have also placed an order here for
cartridge boxes.

Exports to the United Kingdom are still going forward in fair
quantities. The amount of space in liners is restricted, owing to the
heavy consignments of produce, but this lack of room is.in a measure
made up by two more tramps which have been loading spruce here.
The call for pine has not been very keen, although the volume of this
lumber this season will probably be found satisfactory, considering all
the conditions. A considerable amount of birch is being shipped, and
more would go but for the difficulty of securing British Board of Trade
permits. Freight rates are about the same, 275s to 300s being quoted.

The sulphite market continues buoyant. Stocks on hand are small
and the demand is as good as ever. Several projects for adding to pro-
duction are being carried out, and the new year will see a much heavier

in freight rates all over weakened, but are now somewhat steadier.

First quality—For broad deals 12 inch and up by 3 inch only
occasional enquiries were received, and transactions were difficult to
carry through owing to the high figures wanted and also the competi-
tion with the cheaper Siberian wood. Regulars and undersizes were
not wanted.

Spruce arrivals were too heavy and the demand very disappoint-
ing. Buyers in the face of the falling market purchased lightly and
only for immediate requirements and consequently stocks show a large
increase. The competition of cheap Swedish deals and box shooks
was keenly felt. Under pressure to sell values showed a substatntial
reduction, but are now considered to have about touched bottom, and
the tendency is towards steadier prices. Stocks are and a less-

Spruce Stocks Heavy on Glasgow Market

Cant & Kemp’s, Glasgow, in their timber market report, under
date of October 2nd, write as follows :—There is little change to report
in the position which developed in the latter part of the previous
quarter. Buyers are showing no desire to make extensive purchases
and seem quite content with the “hand to mouth” system of buying
which has been a feature for some months, while the fall in freights
was no doubt the primary cause of this policy, other factors have in-
fluenced its continuance. The considerable imports of spruce, for
instance, coupled with the fear of a much lower rate of consumption,
have given buyers the impression that they will be able to get their
needs supplied whenever necessary without much difficulty. The re-
cent rises in the freight from Sweden, which had reached a low level,
compared with earlier in the season, will probably haye a firming in-
fluence on spruce. Yellow pine deals have met with a poor demand
and there is ample stock unless there is some unforseen development.

The full effect of the prohibition of various hardwoods and fancy
woods is now apparent and no further lots are likely to get forward.
In spite of this fact, the demand is very trifling, and there are still
some parcels in first hands for sale.

Shipbuilders are still mainly employed on government work.
There has been a little more enquiry from this source, but until they
can get ahead with merchant work there can be no great volume of
business.

but appears ample for the demand.

Quebec red pine—The stock of timber is “nil.”

Quebec oak.—The stock is considerably increased and meeting
with a fairly ready sale at good prices.

Quebec elm.—The stock is lower, and prices keep firm, though
the demand is not very active.

owing to the competition of home ash. Quotations are—5s 6d to 7s

Co-operation of Employer and Men

Logging Results Improved by Good Treatment of Men and
Mutual Esteem Between them and the Employers
By D. S. Painter, McCloud River Lumber Co.*

There can be no doubt at all in the minds of any who have the
control or handling of labor that to obtain efficient results there must
be co-operation, at least, between yourselves, the company you repre-
sent and the men in your employ. There is great need for the employer
and employe to work together, and the present time is particularly
appropriate for co-operative effort.

Years ago, when practically everything was done by human hands,
labor was plentiful—there was little or no competition—the employer
had not personal interest in the welfare of the employe—paid them
almost nothing, and the output per man was in proportion to his pay.
The education of the masses has changed all this. They are to-day a
higher type of man than they were then, and, being such, demand more
consideration.

In this day of keen competition and modern improvements in all
kinds of machinery the operator must get all he can from the labor he
employs. The question is, “How to get the best results, and how his
labor must be handled to get these results.”” The answer is, “Welfare
work.” Within the meaning of these two words wonders can be
accomplished. The constantly increasing disposition on the part of
the employer to regard the interest of his employes with the degree of
concern that attaches to his own affairs is hopeful. It is not so long
ago that the employer believed he had no interest in the person of his
employe beyond the door of his mills and factories. He knows now
that he owes something more than the opportunity of giving a man a
mere job. He knows that if the greatest economy in production is to
be secured, the people who make up his organization must live in an
environment and under circumstances conducive to highest efficiency.

Camp Improvement Noticeable.

A beginning has been made in practically all of the logging camps
and industrial towns already. Compare the vermin-infested bunk-
houses and the fly-breeding camps of a few years ago with the sani-
tary surroundings in which the loggers and mill employes live to-day.
This change has been made voluntarily in some instances by the
employers, but with others it was necessary to pass laws governing
sanitation in camps. Give a man a good place to sleep, good, whole-
some food to eat, pleasant surroundings for his hours of rest and
recreation and his whole being is more in accord with the manage-
ment that makes such things possible. A manager who is located a
distance from his operation does not come in contact, and therefore
does not know his men. His demand is generally “maximum economy
and output,” which means low wages and as much work as possible.
Most all labor troubles have been caused by a mutual misunderstand-
ing. The industrial woods are full of schemes these days to bring
together in the spirit of better understanding the employer and em-
ploye. Some of these efforts have succeeded admirably, while many
have failed. The motive, however, has been in the main honest, and,
as a consequence, encouraging headway has been made. What we
want are the methods by which a better understanding, which results
in more co-operation, can be obtained. One of the best indications of
finding the right path through the thicket of industrial misunderstand-
ing is the disposition on the part of both to listen to each other.

The best way I know of to get the employe to listen is by forming
a plant organization, which should meet at least once a month—every
two weeks if possible. Let the employer be represented by the mana-
ger and department heads, a programme of topics arranged that are of
interest to the employe—work being done, methods of doing it, com-
parisons with methods used elsewhere, etc. Each meeting a single
topic is taken up, a paper on this is read by an employe and afterward
thoroughly discussed by those present. You would be surprised at
some of the able papers presented at such meetings.

We tried this at McCloud, and it certainly did a great deal to
improve the feeling between the men and the management. At these
meetings, after the programme has been finished, anyone present who
has any suggestions or criticisms to make regarding anything around
the plant, whether for the benefit of the company, his neighbor or
himself, is requested to make these suggestions, and he knows that
anything he may say, if he is sincere in his statements, will not be
held against him. A frank, outspoken man is a good deal more valu-
able to you than a “behind your back” grumbler. ;

Publishing a House Organ.

There was a time when a close relationship used to exist between
the logger and his employes—when the operations were of small mag-
nitude. Then the employe went directly to his employer with his
grievance or his suggestion, and they talked it over, face to face. Now,
however, conditions have naturally changed. Some substitute for the
old relationship must therefore be instituted in order to supply a
safety valve for individual grievances. The method spoken of above I

believe to be an excellent one. One of the best guarantees aj
misunderstanding is publicity. This can be obtained by publish
house organ in connection with the organization spoken of z
The publishing of a periodical, say, monthly can be made to show nc
only the correct intention of the employer and employes, but it can ]
used as a sort of forum through which an exchange of ideas
methods may be discussed. Of course, the direct value of a hou
organ will depend largely upon the prevailing conditions in the orga
ization using it and the man or men you may put in charge of edit
Tt } ; i
Another idea along these lines has been the installation of sug
tion boxes, placed in the commissaries of logging camps and mills ;
factories of industrial towns. Employes are advised that any sug
tion they may have to make or any ideas that might be wor
can be written up and dropped in the box and they will be gi
consideration. A committee consisting of camp foreman and
employes, who should be well liked and leaders, is appointed to
periodical collections from these boxes. This establishes a re
means of communication between the working organization
management. A financial recognition of suggestions or ideas
goes a long way toward keeping the interest in this work up.

The establishment of the Y.M.C.A. cars in the camps of the Nc
west, from what I can find out, has been a good thing, not
the employer, but the employe, who is beginning to appr
something is being done for him. The scoffers are gett
less every day. They will soon be eliminated. New ideas and
will be adopted from time to time, all leading toward the g
fection in social and industrial development which can ¢
only through co-operative effort. é.

Bonus System An Incentive. r
The adoption of the bonus system in logging is recei
recognition every year. This is another step in co-operati
‘The reward of success is large to both sides. To the
comes directly in increased earnings. To the employer it ¢
equally directly; for if under the stimulus of wages proj

the profit per thousand in logs is correspondingly increass
stimulant to individual effort by the incentive of indivi
without breaking down the men’s safeguard of a recogni:
wage rate. ns
Fundamentally there are but two ways of paying n
services: One is day wages, where a man is paid acco
time he spends, regardless of the quantity of work done
the other, piece rate, where he is paid according to the q

have standardized their cost accounting, and issue a statement to their
members each month, showing what the cost of operation has been
for that particular month and for the season to“date. Each mill or
logging operation on the published cost sheet is designated by a num-
ber, without the name being given. Each operating member can then
see at a glance how his cost compares. with others, and in this way
watch closely for any particular part of his operation that may be high
in proportion to the others. This all works toward the betterment of
those concerned, and is co-operation between yourselves, which is just
as important to the industry as that between you and your employes.
Taking it all in all, an industry’s prosperity depends on the big word
co-operation and the little word individual, mixed with a lot of well-
directed energy, making a composite effort which spells success.

The Care of Saws

The proper care of cut-off saws is an item in every up-to-date
mill where trimmers and gahg slashers are used. Much has been
written about broken cut-off saws, and highly intelligent informa-
tion given. A sufficient amount of set should be given cut-off saws.
They should be filed or ground square in front, with pitch line to
centre, with the back beveled. This makes the best tooth for a
cut-off saw, swing or stationary. Each tooth is a cutter and a raker.
Experts tell us that large cut-off saws should be left with a little
slack on the rim, sufficient not a wave in motion. Again, cut-off saws
should be at least one gauge heavier than the standards. Keep the
saws sharp. The average reader will be surprised to make power
tests of same machine and same kind of stock cut with a dull and
sharp saw. Short cracks can be centre punched on each side, which
will arrest them. Cracks over three inches long should be drilled.

There are two extreme conditions under which lumber may be
resawed to get best results. One when it is green and fresh, and the
other when it is thoroughly dry. To resaw it anywhere between,
with it partly dry, means excessive warping and checking. It natur-

ally follows therefore that whatever kiln drying is to be done should ~

be done in advance of resawing. This drying out offers an opportunity
also for straightening warped and crooked boards. One can resaw
boards with curves and crooks in them and get along very well, but
if they are warped and cupped, the best thing to do is to make some
effort to flatten:them out before resawing.

A band saw is as treacherous a thing, when you approach a
point nearing its capacity, as anything one can imagine. It may be
working fine at 60 feet feed, and push it up to 70 feet and it will
begin to make trouble. The result is usually an inferior quality of
work, much more than offsetting the gain in quantity. The saw can-
not be rushed beyond what it is put up for, to do good work. Neither
can the saw be underfed and good results obtained. Either will soon
get the best fitted saws to working badly. :

To fit up saws to stand the highest test of efficiency, you must
carry all the weight consistent with good practice, as well as ten-
sion to the highest degree that the plate is capable of withstanding
without danger of cracking. In the case of a saw wearing narrower,
.you can decrease the weight, but do not decrease the efficiency of
the saw. On the other hand, with a still wider saw and conditions
the same, carrying the maximum tension the saw will stand, if you
undertake to increase the weight because wider saws are recom-
mended to carry heavier weights, you are subjecting your saws to
fracture from heavy strain.

As to the brazing of band saws. Be sure you cut the blade to a
line squared across from tooth edge, as the back being crowned
or convex would not do for squaring the ends. After the saw is cut,
see that both ends, when laid down on the leveling block, lie flat.
This is very essential in making a good braze, as if one corner should

not fit down closely you couldn’t possibly grind the lap evenly all .

the way across, which is necessary in making good brazes. After
the ends are flattened down properly, joint them until the full thick-
ness is square, or until edges are sharp. Be careful to get all the
cold-chisel marks out if you use one to cut the saw, and be sure to
keep the ends square.

Always leave the ends of laps the thickness of 26 or 28 gauge.
By so doing, when your laps are clamped together, the pressure is
all concentrated on the part where it is needed; and the irons don’t
mark or compress the plate on each side of the lap, leaving an un-
sightly scar, which won’t file out in finishing without making the plate
too thin at the point, which would weaken the braze.

After the two ends of the saw have been brazed together the
spot will be found to be soft. If the saw is left in this condition
it will likely bend and kink at the braze, entailing considerable trouble
to put right again. The saw should be taken out of the clamps as
soon as the brazing irons lose their color and become black, and the
saw should then be allowed to cool rapidly in the air. If this is
done at the right moment the saw at the braze will be much harder
than if left in the clam, until cold.

As frequently happens, the operator is not particularly interested
in the machine, its adjustment, care or output. He has merely to put

4 iia te ie ha? bal - 8, Bet
4 A $e , re

the stock through. In this case, the saw may or may not
work. Most likely not; and if the filer does not take an inter
and the saws do not work right, it immediately reflects back.
Every filer should make it his business to see that gu
in proper adjustment. _ But don’t stop at the saw guides;
the entire machine. Look at the guide support. See if it shi
perly on the guide column. Indeed, it pays to look ahead as
behind. — a
It has always been an established fact in the minds of pra
operators that accurate knife-setting was impossible and noy
joining them while in motion has added much.to approach the ¢
of accuracy, they overlook the importance of getting each as ne
possible within the cutting circle before they do their jointing.
Too much jointing does not tend to improve the quali
chine work. On the contrary it leaves a heavy heel on the |
and lessens their cutting qualities. 2
Again, careless setting causes many ills that jointing
ing cannot overcome. You cannot expect that because
more knives cutting, it isn’t essential to set each one accurat
think that the balance will do the work. It’s a bad habit to g
and it will never get one anything to overlook this feature of

for a minute. Flour plays a very big part in the diet of every camp, and to get the best pos-

ishing and good. Do you know that almost all the large lumber camps in this country stock

B. C. Industry Enjoying Improved Demand

W. A. Anstie, general manager of the Forest Mills of British
Columbia Limited, Revelstoke, B.C., recently visited Vancouver on
business. He reports that for some months past the demand for lum-
ber has been exceeding the supply and that the mountain mills are
working to capacity in order to fill prairie orders. When the moun-
tain mills shut down for the winter he expects that the coast mills
will find a continuous demand for lumber from the prairies and that,
as a result, the price of lumber is likely to be well maintained. Mr.
Anstie expects the lumber industry in British Columbia to experience
a revival in the spring of 1917, and a year hence that it will be in a
more flourishing condition than for some years past.

Knock Down Portable House for War Areas

According to a report in the Timber Trades Journal, of London,
Eng., Mr. Alphonse Gravel, of New Orleans, who has spent his busi-
ness life in the lumber trade, has designed a wooden house in knock-

down form for the devastated war areas, to be erected immediately -

on the cessation of hostilities and used until such time as new houses
of bricks and mortar can be constructed. Mr. Gravel’s house is com-
posed of sections that are all interchangeable, so that there is no
necessity for marks to distinguish them, and the sections of one house
will fit in all the others. The frame is so designed that only two
standard unit sizes of each part, and the two standard insertions will
produce any size frame required. The floor and ceiling sections are
of three standard dimensions, and will fit a room of any given size.
The wall sections are so constructed that when put in place they form
with the posts that separate them from each other a dovetailed joint
which is securely clamped with bolts and is impervious to the weather,
and makes the building stronger than one built in the usual manner.
The frame is put together with suitable casting and bolts, which are
already fitted before shipment and can be quickly assembled together
by any intelligent man with the help of one or two laborers. The
building contains no parts which are too heavy to be readily handled
by two men. Mr. Gravel was at one time a manager of a large wood
working establishment near Quebec, P.Q.

Music and Movies for Camp Employees

Keeping the employees of a logging camp contented is a big
proposition nowadays, but it has been solved by at least one large
western company in a simple enough manner. “It will not be neces-
sary for the woodsmen employed by our company to go to the city
to see the latest wrinkle in movie theatre attractions, because we are
to build a movie house for the men,” said the president and manager
of this company. “We have decided upon the new diversion in the
life of our employees because we feel that they are entitled to amuse-
ment and are entitled to the very best. We purpose supplying nothing
but the very best class of films and constant renewals of programme.
But that is not the only innovation we are introducing among our
workers. In each lumber camp, some far from the railroads, you will
find the very best ‘of phonographs the company could buy. The com-
pany also keeps the phonograph supplied with records. Our boys in
the heart of the forest can hear the very best bands, the best orchestras,
the best singers, the cleverest chatter of the ablest comedians every
evening after they are through with work. We have erected a hotel
for our employees. Every man has a room to himself, a bed to him-
self, and every room is lighted with electricity. The food is first class.
We supply this hotel accommodation, for about ninety cents a day.
We have not a man on our payroll, laborers I mean, who is receiving
less than $2.50 per day, and most of them are getting $3 and $3.50. I
decided some years ago that if employees are to be made content they
must have good surroundings. That is why a large number of our
men that we brought from the east when we first opened up are still
with us. There has been some talk of threatened labor trouble among
the timber workers, in which I do not take much stock, and I will
venture right now that there will be no labor trouble in the ranks
of this company. A large part of our men stay with us the year
around and we kept our hotel running all last winter.”

When Should Birch and Basswood be Cut?
Editor Canada Lumberman:— Huntsville, Ont., O 0

Some of the lumbermen who have hardwood limits along ri

_ The practice referred to is to cut down the trees in June,
leaf, and allow them to remain whole till autumn, when they a

floated, but it also has the effect of destroying all the good ‘propert

qualities of the several kinds render them specially adapted for.

The result must be that lumber, sold as birch and basswood, is ©
such in name, having lost all the qualities of these desirable woods, 2 n
great injury will be wrought to the trade. The practice should be disco

Proper Care of Lumber

‘The care of lumber after it is cut is as important as proper saw-
ing and grading. Lumber from sap and crooked logs not only springs
in sawing, but. warps, checks and stains very quickly. The smaller
mills cannot afford to dip their stock, so they must stack it right
from the saw.

It is astonishing the indifference or carelessness exercised in
stacking lumber. The illustrations show the evil effects of poor, also
the result of proper stacking. Fig. 1 shows the reckless method of a
few; Fig. 2 some improvement, while Fig. 3 shows the correct way.
In stacking for dry kiln it is not so important to keep sticks properly
set, as there is not the excessive weight to spring the lumber. Fig. 1
shows the flat stacking. Only when lumber is to remain for a short
time on sticks should this be resorted to, as there is no drainage.
The careless method of placing the sticks ruins a lot of lumber from
excessive weight, especially on a high stack.

When permanent stacking is done, it will pay to make good
foundations. Concrete is best and will prove to be the cheapest. In
Figs. 1 and 2 the ends are exposed; some Iumber end-checks so badly
as to damage it. The sticks should extend a little over the ends, as
shown in Fig. 3; the ends are also better protected from weather.
Give about 24-in. slope in 16 ft. All piles should be one width, say
12 feet, then 12-ft. strips can be used all over the yard. These strips
can be saved from the edger (the smaller mills seldom make lath or
pickets) and should be dry—the wider ones used at each end.

Fig. 3.

Some care must be exercised to get a good foundation. For a
heavy or high pile, use 2 x 10 heart, 24 inches long, checked (that is,
crossed) then a 12 x 12, cut the proper slope, will answer. Note that
neither end of the lumber is exposed. If it does not pass over a trim-

covered. Sticks should be not more than 4 feet apart with 1-inch air
space between boards.

All sap lumber, up to 4 x 6, should be stacked, and all piles when
finished should be covered. Lumber properly stacked and air-dried
brings a better price and there is a saving in depreciation of enough
to more than pay for the stacking. Less room will be consumed and in
case of fire it can be controlled better. There are other methods in
use, principally the “X” stacking, but the one here described is in most
general use. 2

A look at some yards pretending to stack properly will often show
a few zigzag sticks, warping or springing the lumber. As stated, lum-
ber often springs badly, particularly from crooked logs. Stacking
cannot overcome edge springing, but flat springing, when properly
stacked, will not déteriorate—The Woodworker, Indianapolis.

ae, 2 Zz Transmit 100/
7 of Your Power

_ Why pay good money to generate power and then employ a poor belt that will only transmit
a fraction of that power.

If you equip your mill with Goodhue Belts you can transmit 100% of the power generated.
Goodhue Belts stretch 15% to 25% less than other belts aind have just the right amount of
“cling” on the pulley.

Gentlemen: - .

You will undoubtedly be interested to learn of

the service we have derived from the 24" 3-ply Heart Belt we

installed January 7th, 1913. This belt drives our entire factory,

it has not been taken up since it was placed in operation, and is

etill giving perfect satisfaction,

Since installing this 24" Heart Belt, we have
fomnd it to our advantage to standardize on your Heart Belting

throughout our plant. This will indicate more forcibly than

words the satisfactory service we have derived from the use of your
belting,

Yours very truly,
NICHOLSON-KENDLE FURN. CO.

“‘There’s no use arguin’ agin’
a success.”

—Josh Billings. je
ree ”
A 2 - 4 ; ; fea £23 :
This bit of homely philosophy explains why
the Nicholson-Kendle Furniture Company, and :
others, standardize on Heart Belting. ‘
Manufacturers to-day are considering as never eu ‘A

betore efficiency and economy as applied to plant
operation, and a belting must be “a success” —
must make good before “that particular belting is
adopted as standard equipment.

In all industries wherever STRICTLY FIRST
QUALITY HEAVY ‘belting is required, Heart
Brand is the selection, because it is made from
the choicest oak tanned leather, tanned in our
own tannery, slowly, uniformly, and expressly
for belting purposes—because it is made care-
fully, intelligently, and honestly—because it is ae |
graded to a certain specified standard of quality ;
—because it is “‘a success.”

You, too, may place full dependence upon
Heart Belting, for “There’s no use arguin’ agin’

a success.”

Locomotives on trunk line railroads have the advantage of

the best facilities for inspection and repairs.

Logging locomotives face different conditions. They must
work day after day in the hardest service, and often in

localities where repairs cannot be made without great

32-Inch Edger

Among the details of this sturdy high capacity edger we may mention :—
The two main frames supporting the bearings are built so as to be stiff and rigid, and are well braced

with cast iron, tie-plates. It is designed for portable or small stationary saw mills. By a slight change
this machine can be made right or left hand to suit mill.

The arbor is 2% inches in diameter, and made of the best machine steel. The drive pulley is 10 inches
in diameter. and 8% inches face. ;

The arbor runs in three bearings, 6 inches

long, all of which are lined with the best babbitt, and fitted
with covered oil-cups of ample capacity. i

There is one fluted feed roll 5 inches in diameter on either side of saws. These are power driven by
means of belt and gears. There is a roll on top, in centre of machine, over which lumber can be passed back.

Saws used are 16 inches in diameter and will cut stock 5 inches thick. Machine is fitted with collars
for two saws, one stationary and one moyable.

The saw shifter casting has a long bearing on the sliding rod, which makes_ it shift easy. There is a
lever jaw casting supplied to connect to saw shifter.

When overhauling your mill ask us about repair parts or new equipment.

The Resaw Feed Works

The mill man who possesses a keen sense of the importance of a well designed Feed Works seldom
goes wrong in his selection of a Sawmill Resaw.

He has a right to assume that its builders know, or should know, enough of ‘the principles of band
sawing to build a machine that will properly carry the blade and give it the required protection—
yet even on that point there is plenty of chance to go wrong. But when it comes to the matter
of properly getting material to the saw and keeping it everlastingly at it, he knows that depends
entirely on the resaw feed works and the care and forethought with which it has been built. Into

A Critical Moment — the Canadian
Lumber Export Trade

More than a year ago the Canada Lumberman published a number
of articles specially designed to awaken among lumber manufacturers
aud exporters in Canada an adequate appreciation of the importance of
studying the export markets for Canadian timber and lumber which
will develop after the war, and even the markets which can be
| expected to develop during the course of the war. For the time being

the best that we could do in the way of stirring up interest was in
connection with the trade which then seemed likely to develop first of
all, namely, that in ready-to-erect, portable houses. The
astern Canada that were in a position to take care of such trade did
_- form an association, which went to work systematically upon the pro-
blem, prepared plans and specifications, constructed and shipped to
France a number of sample houses, and sent a representative to
l’'rance, who, we believe, has been able to promote their interests with
some measure of success.

firms in

So far as the general lumber trade is concerned, however, although
we believe that individually they are keeping closely in touch with the
situation as it exists to-day, and are keeping their ears to the ground
to learn of future developments as far as possible in advance, there has
been nothing done that we have learned of, in the way of organizing,

handling, and developing the business collectively and efficiently. We

believe that an organization should be formed immediately with this
object in view. Our conviction in this regard is strengthened by the
~ course which has recently been taken by lumbermen in the United
_ States, as reported in the Canada Lumberman of October 15th, an
association having been formed for the definite purpose of sending a
number of skilled. representatives abroad to get in touch with the sit-

' ber. The fact that the United States trade and industry are taking
his step makes it all the more imperative for Canadians to do the
e thing. It is, indeed, a pity that we were not first in the field.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 21

Now, however, unless an effective organization is established, the bulk
of the trade will go to the United States, and not only that, but the
influence of this aggressiveness on the part of our competitors to the
south will be of a lasting nature and give them the upper hand in
foreign markets long after the abnormal demand growing out of the
war has passed into history.

The Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa has already
done something towards paving the way for the development of Cana-
dian trade in this'connection by sending Mr. H. R. MacMillan on a
trip around the world to study the foreign markets for lumber and
make reports upon them. Regarding the situation, the Department of
Trade and Commerce, in its latest weekly bulletin, says:

“Canadian lumbermen in all the provinces of the Dominion should
get together and concert measures for the efficient disposal of their
products in the wide-opening markets of the world.
immense demand for lumber in Europe during the reconstruction
period following the war. Why should not Canadian lumbermen get
their share of this trade? In Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,
India, China, the West Indies, and South America there are oppor-
tunities for the sale of Canadian lumber awaiting organized efforts on
the part of the great lumber interests.

“As a result of a conference between the various lumber, manufac-
turing organizations of the United States and representatives of the
United States Government, a corps of experts will start for Europe
early in November to study the conditions of the lumber market likely
to prevail during the reconstruction period following the war. The
expedition is being largely financed by the lumbermen themselves.

“Before taking up the question of how to organize the American

There will be an

lumber industry to best secure the great volume of foreign lumber
business that must come to the United States even before the Euro-
pean war ends, detailed reports were given of the conditions abroad by
the varied interested organizations, as well as from goverrimental
agencies.”

After summarizing the conditions in various European countries
to-day, so far as the demand for lumber is concerned, and the situation
that will develop when the reconstruction period begins, the bulletin
says that the enterprise of the United States association will not end
with sending experts to report on market conditions in Europe. The
lumbermen propose to organize export associations, with foreign sales
agencies, to secure and distribute orders for American lumber.

The lumbering interests represented at the conference agreed that
American lumbermen of all sections should unite to secure this mar-
ket, regardless of whether they are exporters or not.

There is still time to work out an organization of this nature in
Canada and to get into the field before our Southern competitors have
effectively forestalled us.

organization formed to increase our share in the business abroad, and
they stand to lose enormously if the aggressiveness of the United
States is allowed to instill into the minds of Europeans the idea that.
the best source of supply for them is in the United States.

It will not take long to work out and create an effective export
association in connection with the Canadian lumber manufacturing —
industry if it is gone about in an enthusiastic manner. The expense of
sending representatives abroad will be infinitesimal compared with
the value of the results or compared with the cost of neglecting the
opportunity.

Co-Operation the Foundation
of Success

At the annual meeting of the Western Forestry and Conservation
Association, which was held recently at Portland, Oregon, a number
of excellent addresses were delivered, among them being two that
vere of special interest to Canadians. Mr. M. A. Grainger, chief of the
British Columbia Forest Service, told of what British Columbia is
doing to help its lumber manufacturers. Over one-third of the Forest
Service staff have gone to the war, and therefore the work suffers to a

L | CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

great extent ; nevertheless much good work is being done. Conditions
confronting the industry in British Columbia are similar to those con-
fronting the manufacturers of the Pacific Coast States. The govern-
ent realizes that forest conservation can only be carried out with the
co-operation of the lumbermen and the development of the market for
lumber products, as well as through the proper adjustment of produc-
tion to demand. As market extension presents the only way in which
immediate results can be secured, this is the problem the government
attacked first ofall. The chief efforts of the Forest Service, therefore,
were directed towards the markets overseas and those of the Canadian
prairies and Eastern Canada. \ movement has been planned and is
being carried out for increasing the consumption of lumber in the
prairie districts, with the co-operation of the government agricultural
authorities and the agricultural experts of the farmers’ universities.
The farmers’ experts are anxious to improve farming methods and
conditions, and such a movement goes hand in hand with a campaign
for increasing the use of lumber which is really necessary ini order to
promote better and more profitable farming.

‘The method in which this campaign is being carried out is a prac-
tical one. Ten booklets have been published, containing information
upon farming subjects, giving complete lists of building materials for
the erection of any buildings advocated, and also including detailed

exhibits are being sent out in charge of trained men and displayed at;
iarmers’ conventions, fairs, etc. Free motion picture entertainments
are also being provided.
‘The value of all this work depends entirely upon the enthusia n
put into it and the thoroughgoing and effective way in which it is
ried out. Similar methods are being followed in Eastern Canada, I;
the lumber products are being advertised to the general public then
as well as directly to government and municipal engineers, architect
contractors, lumber wholesalers, and the trade generally. The Ea
representative makes a point of being on hand whenever buildi
codes are being revised in a city, or when specifications for big ¢ ’
tracts are under consideration, and makes a special point of see
that the legitimate claims of British Columbia materials ar
considered. The next few years will see many big problems

otal upon one tapout point. Instead of sitting and

eration.

‘The most important discussion of the grading of hardwoods that
“has occurred for many years was that which took place last June at
the annual meeting of the National Hardwood Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion in Chicago and resulted in the changes submitted by the grading
rules committee being defeated, leaving the rules practically as they
stood. It will be recalled that there was a vigorous fight upon the
matter at that time, and that those who desired certain changes, while
taking the defeat philosophically, were not disheartened, but deter-
mined to keep up the agitation. The Northern Hemlock and Hard-
wood Manufacturers’ Association have held an important meeting to
discuss this situation, and adopted a proposed set of changes to the
National rules. ‘These changes will be submitted for final approval to
the Michigan Association, and then will be discussed once more by the
Northern Association, after which the plan is to make a strong effort
to have them adopted by the National Hardwood Lumbermen’s Asso-
ciation at its next annual meeting.

Canadian hardwood manufacturers, wholesalers,
have become closely allied in their interests with the National Hard-
wood Lumber Association, many of the manufacturers and wholesalers
being of that body. They have watched the grading rule situation
closely and jealously, their interests being so intimately affected by
the grades established. At the meeting last June, when the changes
originally proposed were defeated, the efforts of Canadian members of
the association had much to do with the result. They will; therefore,
‘be interested in learning about the move taken by the Northern Hem-
lock and Hardwood Association, and for this reason we present the

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 23

oods Operations in Ontario Reduced

Reports from Manufacturers Show How Labor Scarcity and High Cost of
. Provisions will Curtail Coming Winter’s Output

Stocks Low—Output Small—Demand Increasing.
: Marmora, Ont.
Editor Canada Lumberman:—

Lumbering operations in this vicinity during the coming winter will be
very limited indeed. The scarcity and high price of labor and the marked
increase in the cost of supplies make it almost impossible to carry on logging
operations at all. As nearly as we can make out at the present time, we feel
that the prices of lumber must advance very sharply, at least 25 per cent., and
probably 50 per cent. in some lines, over what they have been during the past
summer. We do not expect that our cut will exceed a million feet, and will
probably be even less than this, for lack of labor. About one-half of our cut
will be hemlock, one-quarter of the balance pine, and the rest will be made up
of basswood, ash, and cedar. Dry stocks are getting very scarce throughout
this section, and, judging by numerous enquiries from Canadian, as well as

_ United States, firms, dealers are anxious-to contract for all they can get, even
at considerable advances over the prices that have prevailed this fall. Sales
are considerably better than last year, and our stocks are already running low
in many sizes—The Pearce Company, Ltd.

j * * *

Twenty-five Per Cent. Reduction.
Thessalon, Ont.
Editor Canada Lumberman :—
We figure on putting in about 12,000,000 feet this winter, which will consist
‘of about 75 per cent. white pine and 25 per cent. red pine. We put in last
year about 16,000,000 feet, and it all depends on labor conditions if we put in
12,000,000 feet this year or not. Labor is hard to get; wages are high, as well
as provisions and material. We figure that it will cost at least five dollars per
M. feet more to lumber this year than last, and the lumbermen will have to get
a large increase in the price of their lumber next season in order to meet the
large increase in cost of production. It looks to us as though during the
coming season there will be quite a shortage of lumber, as most of the opera-
tors are decreasing their output, and some are not lumbering at all this winter
owing to the high cost of production and scarcity of labor—Hope Lumber
Company.
* * *
Higher Prices Certain for Next Season.
Midland, Ont.
Editor Canada Lumberman :—

Last winter we took out stock approximately as follows: 5,000,000 feet
bush scale white pine, 775,000 feet bush scale red pine, 250,000 feet bush scale
spruce, 35,000 feet bush scale cedar. Owing to conditions existing this season
from the standpoint of the high cost and scarcity of labor and the expensive

: supplies, we have concluded to reduce this output by at least one-third. What
we do take out, so far as classes of timber are concerned, should bear about
the same ratio as last winter’s' output. In view of the substantial increased
cost of production and the reduced output, we anticipate higher prices for next
season.—Chew Brothers.

Will Take Out Large Amount on Account of Fires.

7 Ottawa, Ont.
Editor Canada Lumberman:—

Last season we took out about a million feet of spruce, a million and a
} half feet of red pine, and about four million feet of white pine. This season
-our output will be about a million and a half feet of spruce, two million feet of
red pine, and about twelve million feet of white pine. We do not know what
quantities our neighbgrs are going to take out this season, but we think some
of the lumbermen who have had extensive burns during the past season will
take out more than they intended; but, in any event, logging operations will be
just about double the cost of last year, owing to the very high rate of wages
‘and exorbitant price of all foodstuffs—Shepard & Morse Lumber Company.

Doing Nothing This Winter.
Peterboro, Ont.
Editor Canada Lumberman :—

‘Owing to the scarcity and high cost of labor and supplies for operating,
and with the prospect of not being able to get help to saw or handle lumber
next summer, we have decided not to take out any logs this season. Last win-

' ter we took out two and a half million feet of pine and one and a half million
feet of hemlock, cedar, etc., logs, with an advance ‘of 40 per cent. in cost for
driving and sawing and no increase in the selling price of lumber.—Estate of

We figure on bringing out this year about 2,500,000 feet of hemlock, 250,000
eet of spruce, 250,000 feet of birch, 250,000 feet of pine. In other years our

stock ran up around 5,000,000 feet, but, owing to the shortage of labor, last
year we did not get this amonut, nor do we anticipate getting more than about
3,250,000 feet this year. Last year we took out 3,000,000 feet of hemlock,
285,000 feet of spruce and balsam, 550,000 feet of birch, 250,000 feet of pine,

Logging Operations Reduced One-half.
Pembroke, On:
Editor Canada Lumberman:—

Owing to labor and the price of supplies, we are only putting in three
camps this season, about half our usual winter’s operations. We will take out
probably from ten to twelve million feet. Besides this-quantity we have twenty
million feet of old logs in the water, not yet sawn. About 60 to 70 per cent. of
this winter’s operations will be white pine, balance red pine and spruce. The
market for lumber at present is exceptionally good, all lines being in demand.
Prices have advanced on many lines materially since last spring—The Colonial
Lumber Company, Ltd. ;

A Poor Outlook for the Log Supply.
: Sudbury, Ont.
Editor Canada Lumberman:—

It is very hard to say how many logs we will take out this season. If we
cannot procure labor faster than we have been doing up to date, we will not
get out enough logs this year to run our mills on a day shift. Last year we
took out about three-quarters of a million pieces, which we have just completed
sawing. We would like to get as many this year in order to have work for the
mills next season, but the outlook is doubtful, owing to the shortage of labor.
We manufacture only pine—Spanish River Lumber Company, Ltd.

Expects a General Reduction of About One-half.
Otter Lake, Ont.
Editor Canada Lumberman :—

We are taking out about the same quantity of logs this winter as we took
out last, but in our vicinity the cut appears to be reduced by about 50 per cent.
Trade conditions are much improved of late. Stocks are scarce and prices firm,
with some advances. The cost of operation has increased from $5 to $8 per
M., and consequently we must look for a considerable advance in order to con-
tinue operating—Hocken Lumber Company, Ltd.

have only sufficient men for one camp. Cannot say at present what quantity we
will be able to take out.—John Harrison & Sons Company, Ltd.

The Hardwood Situation in Canada

Good Trade Certain During War—Little to Fear After

Peace Comes—1917 Output Sure to be Small
: By, A. E: Clark

Early in the year 1916 we had an overwhelming situation to
handle, arising out of the fact that in addition to more oe ie a
organization in the hardwood trade situation 1n Canada and the : oe
States because of the war, our difficulties were increased by the sritish
War Office refusing to permit the importation of certain hardwoods
into Great Britain. The good grain crop of 1915, however, has had a
steady tendency to improve the Western trade as well as the Eastern
trade, until at the present time the furniture, agricultural pikepe
and piano trades are in a very much improved state, if not back ic O5e
to normal conditions. The huge munition orders placed in Canada,
with their great requirements of boxes for the consignment of these
soods, have eaten into the supplies of hardwood a great deal further
than any casual observer would imagine. In all probability, if the
situation were thoroughly examined and an estimate made, it would
be found that the embargo against Old Country shipments has been
practically, if not fully, offset by the consumption of hardwoods fol
these munition boxes. This, with the improved local condition and
the tendency on the part of the manufacturers of lumber to go easy 1n
their production last year, together with a certain measure of shortage
of labor, has gone far to place the hardwood situation back upon a
healthy basis. At the present time there is possibly less hardwood,
both in high and low. grades, on the market for immediate shipment
than there has been for several years. This applies very particularly
to birch, basswood, elm, and maple. We are now facing a condition
of good demand, short supply, and very little prospect of relief from
our 1917 production. We have a shortage of labor as the main cause
whereby it will be impossible to get much more than a 50 per cent.
cut. Added to this is the huge increased cost of production, which
any cautious manufacturer is inclined to consider seriously before
going ahead. Anyone who looks at it from all these points of view
must realize that if he is to get any kind of an adequate profit from
his operations the increase in price will have to be very considerable.

We have still practically a year to go before the lumber that will
be preduced in 1917 can be marketable, and the manufacturer natur-
‘ally asks himself what the condition will be at the end of 1917, when
this lumber is to be put upon the market. Will he get his increased
costs out of the production, plus a reasonable margin of profit, or will
the war be over and a certain measure of demoralized trade be facing
him, making it impossible for him to get back the capital he has
invested? There are certain reasons for viewing the situation more
or less in this light, although any sort of normal conditions at all
should surely be able to take care of a possible less than 50 per cent.
production. In my opinion, the situation should be approached cau-
tiously, but everything points to a reasonably good market. The
slump in trade which naturally will be due us from a good many
sources when the war ends should be, in a considerable measure, off-
set by the demand for export, since there has been no hardwood
exported, at least in any quantity, during the year 1916.

The war has no doubt done much for the lumber manufacturer in
the way of improving efficiency and showing him where hardwood can
be used to advantage in manufacturing articles that he has not thought
of previous to war times, and has created a considerable number of.
markets that will remain after the war. Should the war continue,
with its difficulties in the way of securing adequate supplies of mahog-
any, the field for local hardwood lumber in general, and birch in par-
ticular, should be a large one.

I would sum it up that, with war conditions prevailing for
another year, the hardwood trade will be exceptionally good, and if
the war does come to a speedy end, the hardwood manufacturer
should not have very. much to fear.

Suggests Eliminating the Primsoll Line

Now that the Dominion Government is taking such an interest in
helping the lumber manufacturers to develop foreign markets nothing
is being left undone to insure British Columbia exporters as to many
advantages to help in securing trade as it is possible for the govern-
ment to give. Asan example of this attitude the present agitation to
remove any Plimsoll regulations from British ships carrying lumber
to Australia is worthy of notice. At present Australian regulations
prohibit British ships entering any Australian port loaded below a cer-
tain mark. An American schooner can load lumber at either a Cana-
dian or American port until the water comes half way up the hatch
combings and still enter Australian ports, thus allowing the American
vessels to carry from 150,000 to 200,000 feet more lumber than British
vessels of the same capacity. Thus it is said that the British vessels
are placed under a disadvantage. As there is no Plimsoll mark in
Canada and ships have to be loaded only to the satisfaction of the
underwriters, the question of loading regulations in this country will
probably be easily settled, but the question given prominence now is

what steps will be taken by the Canadian Government to induce
Australian Government to change its regulations so as to enable
vessels built in British Columbia, and other British-owned boats, to
load lumber on the same basis as the American vessels. Hy
As a reason for removing all restrictions regarding a Plims
mark for vessels loaded with lumber Capt. Robert Dollar, of San Fra
cisco, Cal., is quoted as having said at a recent hearing on the matte
in Washington, D.C.: “Vessels carrying lumber on the Pacific Coa
must be free from any load line regulations while carrying lumber, br
if they are carrying anything else they must be subject to the sai
regulations as other ships.” Representations have been made to
George Foster and other government officials regarding the neces
of placing British-owned vessels on an equal operating basis w
those of any other nation, and it is the prediction that before the fe
teen ships now being built in British Columbia shipyards are ¢
pleted—the vessels are to be largely used in carrying lumber f

reached between the Canadian and Australian Governmen
regard to any details affecting the overseas trade. :

Nova Scotia’s Revival in Shipbuilding

Click of the Caulker’s Mallet Again Heard—Great Quantities of
Timber Consumed in Vessel Production
By Elihu Woodworth

Necessity is the mother of shipbuilding in Nova Scotia. This
means that among the early settlers of this province the need of ves-
sels became so imperative that men with no knowledge of the art of
building ships were induced to attempt Rete construction. At first
the early settlers devoted their energies to the destruction of the for-
est, and millions of feet of prime lumber and thousands of cords of
excellent fuel were burned on the ground to clear the land and prepare
it for cultivation. In course of time the landowners began to realize
that burning their timber was not the best method of getting its value,
and, consequently, they tried to discover a more profitable way to
dispos@of what was left. They soon learned that there was a demand
for ton-timber in England, and that spruce deals and boards could be
sold at paying prices at some of the provincial ports. They had excel-
lent material for ton-timber and knew how to manufacture it, and
they had an abundance of spruce timber ready to be converted into
merchantable lumber, but they had no facilities for getting their goods
to market. Their urgent need was ships, and ships of any kind they
But they were a resourceful people, accustomed
to overcoming difficulties, so when they could not get by other means
the vessels they so urgently needed, they resolved to build them for
themselves. Accordingly they commenced ship-building, and, as they
did not know their trade, they learned it as their work went on. Pro-
bably the first vessel they turned out would not compare very favor-
ably in finish and appearance with those built in the same localities
to-day, but they were staunch and strong, and admirably adapted to
the purposes for which they were built. At first the number of ship-
builders was limited, but when their ventures proved successful many
others were eager to engage in the business. Sturdy brigs were built
and loaded-with ton-timber, and sometimes when they reached the
English market both the vessel and cargo were sold. Small schooners
were built for the coasting trade, and sawmills with a single saw,
which were erected on nearly every stream and known derisively as
“Sackknife mills” supplied cargoes of deals and other lumber. Ship-
building soon became a large and profitable industry. Larger and
better vessels were built, and found plenty of employment, and the
time soon came when Nova Scotia ships were to be found on every
sea. Builders who did not care to employ their own ships could sell
them at remunerative prices, and the shores of the province were
spangled with shipyards.

Decline of the Industry.

A change was inevitable, but its approach was so gradual that it
found many unprepared. Shipbuilding had undoubtedly been some-
what overdone, and the result of the keen competition that ensued was
low prices for ships and greatly reduced freight rates, but the final
blow was struck with the advent of the tramp steamer. Then freight
fell to figures which would not pay a sailing ship’s expenses, and the
demand for large sailing vessels ceased entirely. Practically all the
shipyards were closed, and fine vessels registering from 1,500 to 2,500
tons were sold for a tithe of their value and converted into barges for
carrying coal or gypsum. The only sailing vessels for which any work
was left were coasting schooners of moderate tonnage and a fleet of
small schooners engaged in the fisheries. A very few builders still
had faith in wooden vessels, and turned off an occasional tern schooner
to trade with the West Indies and South America, and a few small
vessels had to be built every year to replace the schooners lost on
fishing cruises, but the general concensus of opinion was that wooden
shipbuilding was dead, never to be revived again. Then came the
great war, the undreamed of scarcity of bottoms, and the consequent
sharp advance in freights. [very available tern schooner was requisi-
tioned and loaded with lumber for the United Kingdom, although
many claimed they would be failures as ocean carriers. When these
vessels made successful voyages and proved superior to the few

“square-riggers” that could be obtained, there were indications that a
revival of shipbuilding was coming, but the revival did not fully
materialize until the present year. Take, for instance, Parrshboro

_ Shore, which was formerly a famous shipbuilding district and which
has never gone entirely out of the business.

Last year Parrsboro
Shore turned out a fine four-master of over 500 tons register, but this
season three fine vessels have already left her shipyards—one a tern
~ schooner of 425 tons, another a four-master of 528 tons, and a second
_ three-master has 418 tons to her credit, while four others are still on
the stocks, only one of which will register less than 400 tons. More

than that, each of the five shipyards will build at least one vessel next
} ae some of which will be larger than this year’s output.

Activity at Many Points.

On the Soi shore of Nova Scotia there is great activity in the

shipyards, and some builders are forced to decline further orders.
Shelburne is building nine vessels, but some of them are fishing
schooners of about one hundred tons each. The same is true of Lun-
enburg, with eight vessels, and of Liverpool, Mahone, and Conquerall
Sank, with five each to their credit. In a dozen or more places where
only one or two vessels are being built scarcely any are under two
hundred tons. Strangely enough, ‘the revival has not yet spread to all
the places formerly noted for shipbuilding. The south side of Minas
}asin was once dotted with shipyards and swarming with shipwrights,
but now, with scarcely an exception, the shipyards are silent and
deserted, and the click of the caulker’s mallet is no longer heard.

The revival of shipbuilding has not only greatly enlarged and
increased the facilities for maiketing our lumber, but is putting to
profitable use an unbelievable quantity of raw material. Nobody unac-
quainted with the shipwright’s art can form any adequate conception
of the quantity of lumber of various kinds that must be used in build-
ing a ship. If such a one could see in one pile the timber required to
build a vessel of any specified size he would be sure the pile contained
enough material not only to build the ship, but to furnish a cargo for
it after it was built. Some of the timber used is too crooked to “make
merchantable lumber and is worth little for any other purpose, but it
becomes extremely valuable when used as part of a ship. To give it
that value, however, it must be supplemented with a vast quantity of
the best lumber the forest can supply, and the profitable disposal of
that lumber is only one of the advantages afforded by the revival of
shipbuilding.

War a Boon to Wooden Shipbuilding Industry

Mr. A. B. Mackay, of Hamilton, Ont., who was recently in To-
ronto, gave an interesting interview to the Globe, in which he spoke
of the dev elopment of the shipbuilding industry in Eastern Canada.
“The high price of steel,” he said, “has been responsible for the return
to the lakes of wooden sailing vessels, which had become almost obso-
lete when the modern steel craft made its appearance a few years back.
Since the outbreak of the war the building of steel vessels for the mer-
chant trade on the Great Lakes does not warrant the outlay of a large
amount of money by shipowners. Consequently several marine trans-
portation interests which contemplated adding to their fleets have hesi-
tated about placing orders on that account.”

At Meteghan, N.S., a four-masted schooner is being constructed
for Mr. Mackay, which he expects to have launched about the middle
of this month. On its maiden trip it will carry a cargo of lumber
from Yarmouth, N.S., to Montevideo, South America, a distance of
over 6,000 miles. The vessel is being constructed of hardwood frames
and spruce planking, and will cost about $75,000, which is said to be
the highest price ever paid for a vessel of this type in Canada. Mr.
Mackay stated that he has already placed orders for six more schoon-
ers, at a cost of almost $500,000. The present cost of construction, he
says, shows an increase of about 75 per cent, as compared with the
cost fifteen years ago.

“The war has been responsible for unusual activity in the wooden
shipbuilding industry in different parts of Nova Scotia,” added Mr.
Mackay. “Before the war many of the shipbuilding industries had
practically gone out of business with the gradual disappearance from
the lakes of the wooden vessel, the great bulk of which were built in
the Maritime Provinces. At present there are between thirty-five and
forty wooden sailing vessels under construction within a radius of ten
miles, and there would be many more if labor was available. The most
of these vessels are for transatlantic service.”

Extensive Operations in Northwestern Ontario

Reports from Fort Frances, Ont., state that the Shevlin-Clarke
Company now have seventeen camps in process of formation, which,
when completed, will give employment to 2,000 men. These camps
are scattered from Rainy Lake east to Atikokan. The report also
states that the company will take out the largest cut of logs it has
taken out for some years. Labor is scarce and wages are running from
$30 to $40 per month and board. The company expect, however, that
when threshing has been completed in the West the supply of labor
will be more plentiful. Altogether between the Shevlin-Clarke Com-
pany and others there are expected to be some 2,700 men engaged. in
the woods east of Fort Frances this winter. '

As the price of pulpwood has advanced, it is expected that at least
100.000 cords will be taken out in the above district this winter. There
will probably also be about 1,000,000 ties, poles, and posts taken out in
the same locality.

New Manager for Knight Brothers Company, Limited

Mr. J. H. Cole, whose portrait
we publish herewith, has resigned
his position as secretary-treasurer
of the Magnetawan Tanning and
Electric Company, of Toronto
and Burk’s Falls, in order to take
the position of manager for the
Knight Brothers Company, Ltds
of Burk’s Falls, Ont.

Mr. Cole was born in George-
town, Ont., and educated there.

He joined the staff of ‘the Knight
srothers Company in 1899, acting

Will Prairie Trade Again Go to the United States?
Grand Forks, B.C., Nov. 4th.

The lumber industry of British Columbia is now in a prosperous condi-
tion. The former over-production has disappeared and the prospects point
to a severe shortage of lumber during 1917.

Editor Canada Lumberman:

A number of the mills will not operate next year for many different
reasons. Several of the larger plants suffered largely by floods, while others
are cut out of their available timber.. Others are out of business owing to
over-capitalization.

The farmer on the prairie, although having 25 per cent.
receiving about 75 per cent. more for it. All through the provinces of Man-
itoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the retailers have allowed their stocks to
become depleted, hoping for a reduction in prices. The retailers all want to
buy lumber, while the stock in the hands of the mountain lumbermen is sixty
‘ million feet less than this time last year, and in the hands of four of the
largest mills.

The forests of thé States and Eastern Canada are being rapidly depleted
of their supplies, and when the war is over and times get normal there will
not be sufficient lumber to take care of the orders that will flow in.

There are several lumbermen in Ontario who own timber and mills in
British Columbia, lying idle. Some of them own very valuable timber and
very accessible. It is quite possible that they are not in touch with the industry
in British Columbia and do not understand that the opportune time to operate
has arrived. If the British Columbia mills cannot supply the demand for
lumber it will naturally drive the business to the mills in the United States,
and especially to those lying along the borders of the prairie provinces. If
the retailer is forced to buy his lumber in the United States this money will
be lost to Canada forever. The provincial government has assisted and will
assist in keeping the money within the province, and it is quite possible that,
if the true state of affairs were known to the Ontario lumbermen, they would
decide to operate and assist in keeping the market for British Columbia and
the money in Canada.

Needless to say, the mills now operating to any extent, from a selfish point
of view, are not pointing out the above facts—-W. Mark De Cew, President
and Manager, Western Pine Lumber Company, Limited.

Fir Mill at Vancouver and Cedar Mill at Roche Point—Splendid Equipment for
Handling Export, Local and Eastern Canada Trade

The recent opening of an office
in Toronto by the Vancouver
Lumber Company, Ltd., in order
to take care of their trade in East-
ern Canada was an event of much
interest to the lumber trade, both
in the East and in the West, and
is an indication of the fact that
the market for British Columbia
lumber products in Eastern Can-
ada, which has been more or less
spotty in the past, has developed
of late into one of sufficient extent
and variety to warrant the special
attention of British Columbia
manufacturers.

We have drawn considerable at-

taken by the trade of Eastern
Canada in the lumber products of
the Pacific Coast, and we ‘are
pleased to have an opportunity in
the present issue of giving our
Eastern readers some idea of the
facilities for pr oduction and shipment of lumber enjoyed by the Van-
couver Lumber Company, Limited. Two large mills are operated by
this company, the chief one being known as the Vancouver Lumber
‘ Company’s fir mill, which is located on False Creek in the city of Van-
couver. The other mill, at Roche Point, on Burrard Inlet, known as
the cedar mill, is operated by a subsidiary company, under the name of

the Vancouver Cedar Mills, Limited.

: The fir mill has a sawing capacity of 200,000 feet in ten hours, its
principal equipment furnished by Canadian Allis-Chalmers, Limited,
being one double cutting and one single cutting bandsaw, two resaws,
edgers, automatic air trimmers, etc.

A Stetson Ross timber sizing machine is located at the end of the
sawmill in a wing, and beyond this wing are the skids to which the
timbers are conveyed by travelling chains and rolls. From the skids
the timbers are loaded on to cars or barges for export abroad. The
sizing machine will dress timbers up to 20 in. x 30 in., and the longest
length handled is 94 feet.

The filing room of the sawmill is located on ‘the top floor and,
machine shops are on the ground floor.

The log pond in False “Creek is a large one, and easily carries suf-
ficient logs for such extensive operations as are carried on at this:

lant.
: The power plant consists of an Allis-Chalmers 24 in. x 36 in. twin
steam engine, a turbo-generator, Allis-Chalmers-Parsons type, of 750
kw. capacity, using the exhaust steam from the twin engine, and the
usual auxiliary engines. The company also has its own electric light-
ing plant, which supplies current for illuminating the offices and mills.
The boilers are fired with sawdust. The surplus edgings and trim-
mings are conveyed to a large burner, erected by the Muskegon Boiler
Works, Muskegon, Mich. This burner is of the double core, water-
cooled type.

‘In connection with the sawmill, the company operate seven
“North Coast” dry kilns, with a capacity of 20,000 feet per kiln. At one
end of the dry kiln is located a covered shed for cooling, sorting, and
regrading the kiln-dried lumber, preparatory to its use in the planing

mill or being stored in the main dry sheds, of which there are four,
with a capacity of 1,000,000 feet each.

*looring, ceiling, siding, and all kinds of mouldings are manufac-
tured in the planing mill, located a short distance from the sawmill.
The equipment of the planing mill consists of one American, four
Woods, one Stetson-Ross, and two Berlin fast-feed matchers and two
Woods stickers or moulding machines. The most important piece of
equipment in. the planing mill j is the cedar bevel siding machine. This
is a combination resaw and sizer, with a capacity of a ‘carload or 60,000
feet of bevelled siding per day. All the machines in the planing mill,
are equipped with automatic feed tables; and the entire planing mill is
driven by electric motors, which obtain ‘their current from the central
power plant.

The loading platform runs parallel with the planing mill and the
dressed lumber shed. Two railroad sidings are operated, one running
to the sawmill for the loading of timbers and the other running to the
planing mill for loading finished lumber and yard stock. These are
connected with the B ritish Columbia Electric Railw ay, which affords
connection with every railway running out of Vancouver. The com-
pany 18 thus enabled to make shipment to any point.

Cedar Mill at Roche Point.

The cedar mill operated by the Vancouver Cedar Mills, Ltd., is
located at Roche Point, on the north shore of Burrard Inlet, about
seven miles from Vancouver, and is one of the best equipped plants i in
British Columbia for the production of cedar lumber and shingles. It is
on a site of about 17 acres, and has over 1,400 feet of water front-
age. This site was originally acquired by the Red Fir Lumber Com-
pany, Ltd., who erected a substantial mili frame and large hotel build-
ing, which w ere subsequently taken over by the Vancouver Lumber
Company, Ltd. Then the mill was remodelled in accordance with the
most modern manufacturing ideas. This plant has two log intakes,
the main intake looking after the logs that are suitable for manufac-
turing into cedar siding and other cedar lumber, the other intake being
direct into the shingle mill. Shingle blocks are produced from logs
entering both intakes, and are conveyed by travelling chains to the
shingle mill, where they are cut into suitable sizes for the shingle
machines, twelve in number, all upright, made by the Sumner
Machine Works. Each of these machines has a capacity of 30,000
shingles per ten hours, and a chute beneath each machine conveys the
shingles to the graders on the floor below. There the shingles are
graded and packed and the bundles are conveyed by gravity “folls to
the entrance to the three shingle dry kilns. When the shingles come
out of the dry kilns they are put through a repressing machine, which
tightens and blocks the bundles into a neat and symmetrical appear-
ance. Then they are carried by gravity rolls to the water front and
loaded in railroad cars on a barge. The lumber from the cedar saw-
mill is also conveyed to the barges by gravity rolls, and the barges are
shipped to the fir plant at Vancouver. There the cedar lumber is
manufactured in the planing mill into cedar bevel siding, etc. With
the facilities and equipment now supplied by the company it is able to
make shipment of its products in mixed or straight carloads, as may
be desired by its customers.

The outstanding feature of the cedar plant is the extensive use
made of transmission systems and gravity carriers. Wherever pos-
sible, the handling of stock is done mechanically, with the result that
the operating force required does not exceed 85 men when every
department is in operation at full capacity. The equipment of the
cedar sawmill consists of log haul, log stop, Simonson turner, overhead

edger; 24 ft. overhead trimmer and slasher, with air lift for saws, and
a very complete outfit of live rolls, transfers, etc. In the main line of
rolls from the bandsaw and directly opposite the back edger table is
loctaed a steam gang lifter for throwing the shingle cants from the
live rolls to the transfer chains, which carry them to other live rolls for
delivery to the cut-off machine. This machine carries a 60 in. circular
saw, for cutting off the cants to the proper lengths for shingles. The
filing equipment is located on the third floor, ‘directly over the band
mill. The main part of the cedar mill is 46 ft. wide and 152 ft. long.
A wing on one side contains the gang cut-off machine, and is 32 ft.
wide by 64 ft. long. The engine room is located on this side of the
mill, in a wing 32 ft. wide and 32 ft. long. The engine is 18 in. x 24 in.
Sumner twin slide valve engine, with balanced valves. It rests on
solid concrete foundation, and has ample power for driving the mill at
its fullest capacity. On the opposite side of the mill in a wing 24 ft.
wide by 30 ft. long is located the lath equipment, consisting of lath
bolter, lath machine, lath trimmer, transfers, and conveyers.

Shingle Mill Equipment.

The shingle mill equipment is located in a separate two-storey
building adjacent to°the north end of the lumber department. This
building is 42 ft. x 150 ft. long, and is of heavy timber construction,
substantially supported on concrete piers. The shingle blocks are con-
veyed to this plant by an endless chain from the cant cut-off machine
in the sawmill, and by another conveyer from the log cut-up mill.

The shingle dry kilns are located to the west of the mill, a suffi-

cient distance away to afford protection from fire, and are three in
number, each being 20 ft. wide and 120 ft. long. They are fireproof,
being of hollow tile and cement construction. After the shingles pass
through the kiln they enter the cooling shed, where they remain a sul-
ficient length of time to eool gradually. Then they are passed into the
storage shed, still in the original load and on the same trucks on which
they entered the kilns. This shed is 64 ft. wide and 108 ft. long, and
has a capacity of several million shingles.

The steam plant for supplying steam to the engine dry kilns is
located in a separate building north of the sawmill and east of the
shingle mill. This building is 52 ft. wide and 82 ft. long, and is of
heavy timber construction, with crib walls and substantial concrete
piers. The steam plant consists of five high-pressure, double-butt
strap horizontal tubular boilers, each 72 in. in diameter and 18 ft. long.
Three of these boilers are set in one battery and two in another. The
battery of three boilers is connected with an induced draft system of
the Miller type, and the other battery has natural draft, with stack
located outside the building. The boilers are furnished with Dutch
oven furnaces, automatically fed with mill refuse by a conveyer from
the sawmill. The battery of three boilers is for the sawmill and the
battery of two boilers is for the shingle mill, but they are all piped
together with the required valves betw een, allowing either of the
departments to operate independently.

The refuse from the entire plant is conveyed a sufheleee distance
away to avoid all risk, and is consumed in an open fire, the dump being
protected by a wire mesh screen 30 in. in height.

The capacity of the cedar plant is about 100,000 feet of lumber and
350,000 shingles in ten hours. It will be readily realized by the trade

in Eastern Canada that with this large output and the output of the
fir plant at Vancouver the company are in an excellent position for tak-
ing care of the requirements of the Eastern trade, either in straight or
mixed car loads.

The timber limits of the Vancouver Lumber Company, Ltd., are
mostly located on the mainland and islands, about 100 to 150 miles
north of Vancouver. About half are held under old-time leases and
the balance are licenses, and the timber on them is conceded to be of
the best quality in British Columbia.

The chief markets of the company in the past have been on the
Canadian prairies. They have also developed an extensive trade,
however, in the United States and in parcel and cargo shipments by
water to various markets across seas, as well as a local trade at Van-
couver and other British Columbia points. Their extension into the
Eastern Canadian trade is a logical development of their successful
policy of expansion. 2 Cn Hh ;

One of the best-known products of the Vancouver Cedar Mills,
Ltd., is the “Big Chief” brand of shingles, which are manufactured on
upright machines, specially designed for the production of a vertical
grain shingle, and produced from the finest quality of cedar grown in
the world. These shingles are among the finest that can be found upon
any market. The “Big Chief” shingles are 16 in. long, 5 butts to 2 in.,
and each bundle measures full 10 in. in thickness when dried. They
are 100 per cent. clear, 100 per cent. heart, and have 100 per cent.
covering efficiency. They contain no sap, and are of random widths,
but none less than 3 in. wide. The company are also among the few
manufacturers in British Columbia who are authorized to manufacture
and sell the “Rite-Grade” shingles, which are now being so extensively
advertised. Besides these special brands, the company manufacture

all the other grades of 5 to 2 (5x) and 6 to 2 (3x) shingles that have
justly established British Columbia shingles as the best in the world.

The Vancouver Lumber Company, Limited, have their general
offices at Vancouver and branch offices in the Excelsior Life Building,
Toronto; at 343 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, and at 709 Great
West Permanent Building, Winnipeg, Man. ‘The officers of the com-
pany are as follows: J. E. Tucker, president, Lon Beach, Cal.; A. L.
Clark, .vice-president, Dallas, Texas; E. C. Knight, secretary and
treasurer; E. S. Sanders, manager; Liggett N. Thompson, sales mana-
ger. Mr. Charles Plant is their representative in Eastern Canada, and
has charge of their office at 701 Excelsior Life Building, Toronto.

Insurance on Standing Timber

Risks on standing timber against loss by fire have not been con-
sidered a profitable line of business by insurance companies in the
past. A few exceptions could be mentioned in cases where specially
fine risks have been insured, but as a practically general rule there has
been no development of this line of insurance business. During the
present year, however, policies have been written by the Phoenix
Insurance Company of London, England, upon standing timber in
Oregon and Washington, with certain restrictions, the rates varying
from 1 to 1% per cent. Risks are taken only upon timber that is
accessible to markets and not unduly exposed to fire hazard, and only
one risk is taken in each fire zone, or area indicated by the company.
No risk is taken for a greater amount than $17,500 in any one such
area.

W.R. Brown, in an article on this subject in “American Forestry,”
goes into some detail in discussing its possibilities. He summarizes
the fire experiences within the territory of various fire prevention asso-
ciations, and his figures include the 22,000,000 acres under the super-
vision of E. C. Allen in the twelve Western private fire prevention
associations which he supervises; the New Hampshire Timberland
Owners’ Association, with 1,000,000 acres; the Northern Fire Protec-
tive Association of Michigan, with 2,000,000 acres; the St. Maurice
Valley Fire Protective Association of Quebec, with an area of 8,000,000
acres—the total of four associations being 33,000,000 acres. The
expenditure for forest ranging and fire prevention is approximately 1
cent an acre for the first three and % cent an acre for the Canadian
organization. In the Western associations the fire loss for the year
1910 was one-half of 1 per cent. In each association since that time it
has been much less than that figure, except for 1914 in the Canadian
association, when one fire got away and the fire loss of the year was
three-fourths of 1 per cent. upon the timber valuation. Taking all four
areas together and summarizing the figures for each which Mr. Allen
gives, the average yearly losses respectively were as follows: 1910,
005 ; 1911, .000171; 1912, 0002328; 1913, .0012636; 1914, .00253; 1915,
00427.

The writer concludes from these figures that in such protective
areas fire isurance should cost for the loss ratio not over one-half per
cent. annually, with another one-half per cent. added for administra-
tion cost of the insurance plan. He gives some further experience upon
which to base this conclusion. In Minnesota during the last ten years,
with its forest wealth of $280,000,000, the average fire loss has been
about $100,000, or one-thirty-fourth of 1 per cent. annually.

Fire the Greatest Enemy of the Forests

Mr. Elwood Wilson, superintendent of the forestry division of the
Laurentide Pulp and Paper Company, Ltd., Grand Mere, P.Q.,
appeared before the Dominion Royal Commission in one of its recent
sittings at Montreal and expressed the opinion that the next twenty-
five years would see the disappearance of the wood pulp supply in
Canada unless conservation measures were adopted. He stated that
three things were essential, namely: The adoption of a scientific
scheme of reforestation; a proper system of fire protection, such as
that in use in British Columbia and on the lands under the control of
the Laurentide Company; and a system that would do away with the
dangerous disposal of waste now prevailing throughout Canadian for-
ests. During the past thirty five years, he said, 30 per cent. of the
pulpwood lands of Canada had been burned over and rendered useless
for generations to come.

At the same session of the commission Mr. Carl Riofdon, manag-
ing director of the Riordon Pulp and Paper Company, Ltd., stated that
the long haul to Europe and the consequent high freight rates made it
almost impossible for Canadian paper and pulp manufacturers to com-
pete with the manufacturers of pulp in Europe, located chiefly in Swe-
den and Norway. He expected, however, that when the war was over,
the higher taxes prevailing in Europe, the higher cost of production,
and the higher cost of capital would increase the price of European
pulp materially, and enable Canadian manufacturers to develop these
markets more successfully.

Mr. R. H. Campbell, Director of Forestry for the Dominion Gov-
ernment, stated that the annual loss by forest fires in Canada might be
placed conservatively at an average of $5,000,000. He considered that
fire prevention was of greater importance at present than afforesta-
tion.

Transportation of Big Logs by Flumes
Economies Secured and Efficiency Promoted as Compared with Railroad Logging—

Quantity of Water Required Remarkably Small.
By W. D. Starbird* if

The advantages offered by the use of flumes in the transportation
of logs are becoming better known and more appreciated by loggers
all over the country as they have greater opportunities to familiarize
themselves with their operation and observe the satisfactory results
that are invariably being obtained with them.

The first flume ever constructed for the exclusive purpose of trans-
porting logs and long timber, so far as I am informéd, was that built
for the Milwaukee Land Company, on Rochet Creek, Idaho, some six
years ago. It proved a success beyond expectations, and demonstrated
the value of this means for making accessable timber that could not
be taken out at a practicable cost by any other method now in use.
Since its construction several other flumes have been built at various
points in the Inland Empire and British Columbia. The owners and
operators of all are well pleased with the results they are getting, and
wherever one has been used new friends and enthusiasts for the log-
ging flume are being made.

In a paper read at a meeting of this organization shortly after the
flume for the Milwaukee Land Company was completed I endeavored
to give, in a general way, some idea of the many advantages of flumes
in the transportation of logs and described in considerable detail their
engineering, design, and construction. Since then I have written sev-
eral other articles, all of which have been given publicity through the
columns of the lumber journals.
convey some idea of the many important advantages to be obtained by
the use of flumes in connection with logging operations and how read-
ily they may be adapted to almost every condition and requirement of
log transportation whenever there is an available supply of water to
draw from and a descending grade.

It is with special reference to the question of water supply that I
will deal in this paper. I have repeatedly stated in other articles writ-
ten on this same general subject that much less water is required in
the successful transporting of logs through a flume than is generally
understood. I am confident that flumes as a means of transportation
are being overlooked or discarded in connection with many difficult
logging chances on account of lack of information or misinformation
on this very important point, when their use would convert an unprofit-
able operation into a money-maker.

Flume Transportation for Large Logs.

This is no doubt especially true with reference to the handling of
large logs here on the coast. Many loggers operating in coast timber
probably assume, without investigation, that a flume is not practical
for handling their timber on account of its large diameter and the

To float it the flume must be completely filled with water.
Water is commonly measured in cubic second feet, which

The quantity of water necessary to fill completely a triangula
box, with sides 72 in. high, would, if the flow is unobstructed,
velocity of about 16.75 feet per second on a 1 per cent. grade,
volume would be about 300 cubic second feet. Such a large ve
of water would not be available in many instances, where the cc
tions in all other respects would be favorable for a flume, and its
advantageous. i. “<
It has been fully demonstrated, however, that no such
amount of water is necessary for successfully operating such a
in transporting a log six feet in diameter. When a log of this d
ter lies in a triangular flume box, supported by its walls, on a
cent grade, the space under it will only allow 11.33 cubic secon
of water to pass through. The log will operate as a dam to hold
accumulate in the flume all the flow of water in excess of this |
tity until a sufficient head. to float it is raised. This head will
tinue to be held with the log as it is carried forward, except

small wastage underneath, due to its not moving as rapidly a
water. .

Effect of Velocity and Momentum.

As the grades get steeper, logs will attain a constantly i
yelocity and momentum, which will add to their buoyancy to
extent that a much smaller quantity of water, in proportion,
required to keep them in motion. For this reason the amount of
that will carry logs over a 5 per. cent. grade will usually be
sufficient on all steeper grades, unless they are being loaded i

will be necessary. Double the quantity of water that will pass
a log of the largest diameter to be handled, on the steepest gra
to 5 per cent. over which the logs are to be shipped in the flume
be found ample for satisfactory fluming, and ordinarily one
half times what will pass under the log will be sufficient. _

Therefore, the fluming of a log six feet in diameter over
cent. grade will require 11.33 cubic second feet of water, f
one-half of that amount, making a total of 17 cubic second f
most 22.66 cubic second feet, which is double the quantity
pass under it when lying in the flume. This is only a little m
one-twentieth in the first instance and one-fourteenth it

by logs. To flume the same size of log over all the varying grades
from the flattest to the steepest that are practicable will require, at
the most, about 50 cubic second feet of water, that amount being
double he quantity required on a 5 per cent. grade to fill the space in
the flume under a log of the size specified. This is not a very large
stream of water, but it will suffice for the purpose of fluming these
logs, as well as 300 cubic second feet, except for a little loss in ship-
ping capacity, on account of the slower movement of the logs.

To give a more comprehensive idea of how small a stream this
amount of water will make, it will fill a triangular flume box, on a 5
per cent. grade, to a height of slightly over 27 inches, measuring along
the surface of its walls. To fill a 72 in. box on a5 per cent. grade will
require 673.74 cubic second feet of water. Note the difference between
this amount and what is actually required for successful fluming.

To flume logs eight feet in diameter will require a triangular box
96 in. to 100 in. high, measured along its surface, and on a 2 per cent.
grade, taking double the quantity that will pass under it, 70.5 cubic
second feet of water, having a flow of about 15 feet per second and
54,000 feet per hour. On a 5 per cent. or steeper grade 112 cubic
second feet of water will be required, figuring on the same basis, and
its velocity will be, on the 5 per cent. grade, about 24 feet per second
and 86,400 feet per hour. On a 2 per cent. grade its velocity will be
about 17 feet per second and 61,200 feet per hour.

Great Carrying Capacity of a Flume.

An important factor in connection with the water supply required
in fluming logs is the great carrying capacity of a flume, which makes
it possible to. transport a large quantity of timber in a comparatively
short space of time. The larger the timber to be handled the greater
this capacity becomes in proportion. Logs might be shipped end to
end, if they could be gotten into a flume that fast. Generally speaking,
‘logs are and should be loaded into a flume and started where the
grades are flat. This applies to shipping from ponds, rolling in, chut-
ing in, and every other means of getting them started in the flume. If
necessary, the grade should be flattened at landing places.

As an illustrtaion to show the extraordinary capacity of a flume,
take, for example, one built for carrying logs up to six feet in diameter,
over varying grades from 1 per cent. to anywhere above 5 per cent.
Let us assume that logs are going to be shipped from ponds and roll-
ways along the line of the flume, where grades will average 2 per
cent., which should be a fair average grade from which to start ship-
ments in a flume.

In computing the shipping capacity of a flume we must take the
velocity of the water on the flattest grade over which the logs are to be
flumed, assumed in this case to be 2 per cent., and to carry them over

the steeper grades we must have, say, double the quantity of water

required to fill the space under the log on a 5 per cent. grade, which
for a 72 in. log has previously been shown to be 50 cubic second feet.
The unobstructed flow of this volume of water on a 2 per cent. grade

_ will be approximately 14.8 feet per second and 49,680 feet per hour.

Therefore, if logs could be placed in the flume, end to end, and they
traveled at the same speed as the water, 49,680 lineal feet, or 1,552
pieces of an average length of 32 feet, could be shipped per hour.
After making a liberal allowance for all retarding influences at least
one log 32 feet in length could be shipped for each 100 feet of the flow
of water in the flume, or 496 pieces per hour, if they could be started
at that rate. It is, however, usually impracticable to get logs into a
flume that fast, especially logs as long as 32 feet and over in length.
Consequently the shipping capacity of a flume is limited to the num-
ber of logs it is possible to get into it, and not by the number it will
carry.

The number of logs that can be loaded into a flume will depend
on the method used. If shipping from a pond, there should be noth-
ing to prevent starting two or three long logs, or as many as five or
six short ones per minute, and under any circumstances it should be
perfectly safe to assume that one log of an average length of 32 fect
can be shipped every minute, or 60 per hour. This would allow 828
feet of water flow to each log placed in the flume, and a space of about
796 feet between logs, which would be unnecessarily slow shipping, as
far as the flume is concerned, and should be doubled at least, especially
if the water supply is limited. Reports from several flumes now in
operation handling short logs state that five to six pieces per minute
are being shipped.

Average Scale of Fir Logs.

Logs 32 feet in length, averaging from 10 in. to 72 in. in diameter,
would scale, according to the Columbia River Official Log Scale,
slightly more than 3,000 feet to the piece, but I am informed that the
common run of Columbia River fir logs will scale on an average of
from 1,000 to 2,000 feet to the piece. This would give a fluming capa-
city, in board feet, of from 60,000 to 120,000 per hour, if no more than
one log per minute were shipped. Even at that rate, a flume will have
such a large carrying capacity that it will transport the entire daily
output from almost any logging operation, in from one to two hours.
Therefore, a continuous available flow of water supply, equal in
volume to from one-twenty-fourth to one-twelfth of what is required
while shipping will be all that is necessary for a successful flume pro-
position, if this supply is held in storage while the flume is not in
operation.

In this way, by using storage ponds, a stream of water the con-
tinuous flow of which is about four cubic second feet, will be suffi-
cient to supply a fluming head for two hours out of each twenty-four,
that will transport at least 120 logs up to six feet in diameter, averag-
ing 32 feet in length and amounting to from 120,000 to 240,000 feet
board measure, and 91/3 cubic second feet will handle the same num-
ber of logs of equal length up to eight feet in diameter. This is allow-
ing a continuous flow, during shipping hours, equal in volume to the
requirements, as previously shown, for fluming the logs of the largest
diameter specified in each instance. If the extra large logs are sorted
out and shipped separately, a much smaller supply of water will give
an equal shipping capacity.

Storage ponds can usually be provided in connection with any
flume proposition by building a dam at or near the head of the flume,
where the required capacity can be secured. Ordinarily some suitable
location for such a dam can be found where it can be constructed at a
nominal cost, and where it will answer the combined purpose of stor-
ing both water and logs.

When for any reason this method of conserving the available
water supply is not feasible or practicable, even greater shipping capa-
city and better results may be obtained from a more limited water
supply by the use of a chain of automatically operating locks.

Since it has been fully demonstrated that logs can be successfully
shipped through a triangular flume box by a head of water accumu-
lated with tlfe log operating as a dam, when the continuous flow is
greater than what is required to fill the space under it, in the flume, it
must follow that any other effective means for accumulating the
necessary head will operate in a like manner.

Adaptability of Lock System.

When locks are used for this purpose they would consist of a
number of small storage tanks or reservoirs, built into the continuous
line of the flume at intervals, the frequency of which will depend on

See

View showing a very low head of water on a five percent. rade—Boom
sticks and piling that were successfully flumed with it

the amount of water available in proportion to the size of the logs to
be shipped and the gradient on which they are to be operated. ‘Their
size and the length of each unit would be determined by the same
controlling factors. They would be built along the same general
lines as an ordinary box flume having a flat bottom and perpendicular
side walls, and should be kept:on or close to the ground, in order
that they may be utilized as landing places in shipping logs. Any
size of box, from six feet wide by four feet high to twelve or more
feet in width by six or more feet in height, as may be required, will
be practicable and can be used. Their length should be at least three
times that of the longest log to be handled, and may be as much
longer, as the conditions seem to demand.

They should be built on a very flat grade, regardless of how steep
the grade may be along the line of the flume, in connection with which
they are installed. The different units will be joined together by inter-
vening sections of triangular flume box, the size and construction of
which will be equal to the requirements for logs of: the maximum
diameter to be handled and uniform with that of the balance of the
complete line.

These sections will be given enough gradient to take up and com-
pensate for the flat grades of the locks, and may be as steep as are
practicable on any other part of a flume line. At the lower or for-
ward end of each lock its bottom will be gradually tapered in to a
point and the walls flared outward to a connection with the triangular
box, in a manner that will avoid any sharp angles. The connecting
triangular flume box will be given a eradually increasing gradient
from where it leaves this lock until the maximum necessary to bring it
on a level with the next succeeding lock is reached. This gradient
will be maintained to a point where it can gradually be flattened again
and the triangular box brought to a junction with the lock on a level
and gradient uniform with that of the lock. A square end in the lock
will be all that is required for joining the two together, which will be
done by framing the triangular box into the square end, keeping the
top of both on the same level. A gate will be placed where the trian-
eular flume commences at the lower end of the lock, so designed that
it can be easily and quickly raised entirely out of the way or lowered
into place.

Locks for Rollways.

Each of these locks constitutes a small storage reservoir, and
provides the most economical means of getting logs into the flume. If
properly built, in proportion to the requirements, logs may be safely
rolled into them from skidways provided alongside, and the cost of
their construction need not greatly exceed that of any other part of
the flume in connection with which they are used. Any number of
them at more or less frequent intervals along the line of the flume may
be utilized as required, either for loading in logs or accumulating a
shipping head of water.

In the operation of a flume provided with a chain of such locks
the procedure would be to lower the gate in the one from which ship-
ping is to be commenced. As soon as it fills with water from the sup-
ply, assumed to be continuously flowing through the flume, logs will
be rolled in, up to its holding capacity, the gate raised,.and fluming
out of the logs started. As fast as more space for logs is provided in
the lock they will be rolled in, and the operation of rolling in and flum-
ing out continued until the head of water is reduced below what is
necessary for these purposes, when the gate will be closed until a new
head is accumulated.

The gates in all the succeeding locks below the one from which
shipping is done will be kept open, as each lock will operate automati-
cally in accumulating a head and discharging it with the logs passing
through. This will be accomplished by the water rushing in with and
in advance of the logs from above faster than it can discharge through
the narrowed mouth at the lower end, the gradient of which is flat
and so constructed and arranged that it will operate in a similar man-
ner to the neck of a bottle, only allowing to pass through the quantity
of water required to carry the logs of the largest diameter it was
designed for handling.

Cost of Locks or Reservoirs.

In considering the cost of locks,or reservoirs such as have been
described, it must be taken into account that they are a part of the
continuous flume line, and each lineal foot of their length replaces that
much triangular flume. Therefore, the difference between what it
costs to construct a foot of triangular flume and the cost per foot of
the locks will be their only actual cost in relation to the complete line.
This additional cost will result from the greater amount of material
required more than from extra labor, and should not amount to more
than $1 to $1.50 per lineal foot, depending on their size. Their length
would be from 80 to perhaps an extreme of 200 feet. and two or three
per mile of flume would be the limit required. On this basis it would
add from $160 to $900 per ile to the cost of the complete line of
flume. The cost of a single storage dam might easily exceed their cost
in conrection with a flume several miles long. It is, of course, impos-
sible to make any definite figures along this line because of the widely
differing conditions that may control each separate installation.

November 15, 1916

In connection with this subject some information and data on the
cost of flumes and their operation will probably be of interest. So far
as I know, there has not yet been a flume built for handling logs z
large as eight or even six feet in diameter, and therefore, no defini
figures can be given regarding the cost of constructing or operatin
them. Taking, however, the actual detailed cost of flumes built for
handling logs up to five feet in diameter as a basis for figuring, th

six feet in diameter will be from $8,000 to $10,000 per mile, and th:
of one for eight foot logs $10,000 to $12,000 per mile. @
The cost per thousand feet for handling logs through a flum
including the cost of maintenance, varies according to the volume |
shipping and the length of the flume. Reports from several flu m
that have been in use for two or more years show that it does r
exceed 25 cents per thousand at most, and may be reduced to 12
cents, or even less when very large quantities of timber are flumed.
Advantages and Availability of Flumes. oe
There are several features regarding the availability, adva ta
and economy of flumes in the transportation of logs that sta
prominently :
1. Their feasibility, wherever there is a water supply and
ing grades.
2. The small amount of water actually necessary for their
tion, :
3. Their adaptability to almost any conditions.
4. Their extraordinary capacity, even when the available w
eye is extremely limited.

the Sik of constructing a flume when: Gatti to handle pene
much less than that of a railroad, and when built to handle
the largest size will not exceed and se!dom equals that of a
constructed under similar conditions. The cost of steel st

ber in a flume will be that of logging and sawing, plus the s
value of the timber used.
The cost of transporting logs by flume is much less fiiane
road. To operate a railroad requires experienced, expert lé
quently hard to secure and not always dependable. In the o
of a flume no skilled labor is required, and, in fact, very little
kind, all of which would seem worthy of careful consideration
choosing a means for log transportation. La

Slump in German Woodworking
Industry

A Berne correspondent of the
Press Association states that Ger-
many’s great woodworking in-
dustry has suffered enormously
through the war. At the end of
1915, in the first sixteen months
of the war, no less than 8,300 fac-
tories and workshops had been
closed out of a total of 20,900 ex-
isting before the war.

The home trade was worse than
the foreign, since with the call to
arms the creation of new homes
and households practically ceased.
Hence there was little demand for
furniture or household utensils.
The export trade, which was very
gteat, has also suffered severely.
Toys and pianos, and other music-
al instruments, to the value of
nearly 200,000,000 marks, or 10,-
000,000 sterling, were sent abroad
in 1913; last year’s total is esti-
mated at less than 25 per cent. of
this sum. Unlike so many other
industries, the woodworking fac-
tories have found little employ-
ment in the war. At first they
were engaged in making baskets
for munitions, and later other em-
ployment was discovered for them.
One piano factory has been turn-
ing out barbed wire, and a furni-
ture factory has been making
shells, but for the most part the
wood workers have been of little
use in the munition field. Every
week more factories are being
shut down.

Review of Current Trade Conditions ~

Ontario.

Reports received from a number of lumber manufacturers 1m
Northern Ontario show that the output of logs during the coming win-
ter will be considerably reduced, the decrease varying from 25 per cent.
to 50 per cent. at different points. The shortage of labor is the chief
factor responsible for this situation. During the summer of 1916 the
output at the mills has been considerably less than in former years,
also as a.result of the shortage of labor for operating the mills. Dry
stocks are already becoming scarce in many parts of Ontario. Enquir-
ies from Canadian points and from United States points indicate quite
a revival in trade. i
anxious about their supplies, both for next year and for the next few
months. Contracts are now being made for stocks at considerable
advances over the prices that prevailed early in the fall. The volume
of sales is much better than it was a year ago.

There has been a tendency on the part of hardwoods recently to
lag in some respects. This can be definitely traced to the fact that in
connection with the production of shell boxes the [Imperial Munitions
Board have been favoring the box with a veneer diaphragm rather
than the box with the solid hardwood diaphragm. ‘ As the great
majority of this veneer stock is imported from the United States, the
local hardwood trade suffers to that extent. Otherwise, the hardwood
trade has been reasonably good. Factories are busy, but the shortage
of labor is a serious drawback, and is prevénting many of them from
producing at their full capacity. The United States demand for hard-
woods is good, with a slight tendency to hold back during the past two
or three weeks on account of a certain amount of hesitation caused by
the presidential elections. Throughout the producing centres in Can-
ada and the United States available stocks are low, and the same
thing applies to yard stocks. The outlook, therefore, is that producers
can count fairly definitely on a good demand for their output. The
piano trade, the furniture trade, and the flooring trade are all active,
and are consuming considerable quantities of stock. This is using up
all the lower end and is rapidly eating a hole into the good stocks. A
material shortage is reported in 1 in. and 1% in. first and seconds
birch in Canada. Other sizes and grades are also reduced in stock to
some extent. With two months yet to go in the present year and any
sort of an adequate car, supply,.the trade will undoubtedly find that
their requirements of dry stock to carry them from the beginning of
1917 up to the next sawing season will be very inadequate. © The
demand for 2% in. birch for rifle stocks in the United States continues
quite strong, and the supply is pretty low. The shortage of foreign
cars in Canada is hampering shipments to the other side, and, so far as
producers are able to see, it looks as though the situation in this regard
will be worse before it is better.

Eastern Canada.

Further advances are reported from St. John, N.B., in the price of
deals for future delivery. The allied governments are taking this
material for construction purposes in the war zone, and are paying
good prices, as high as $30 per M. f.o.b. the wharf having been paid
for long deals of good average widths. The demand is improving,
and the mills are showing a greater inclination to sell rather than hold
out for higher prices. All the mills in the St. John section are sawing
English deals. Ocean freight rates are about 275s per standard.
Stocks of deals at St. John are not heavy. Good prices for deals have
resulted in many rotary mills operating in the woods, and these are
getting from $3 to $3.50 per M. for sawing. The high cost of pro-
visions and labor, however, are likely to keep down the profits on such
operations. The New England market continues firm at a base price
of $28, and it is expected that $30 will be reached before next spring.
The spruce board market in New England and the market for cedar
shingles are not so encouraging, prices being at best $17 per M. for
boards 1x4 in. and up at the mills and $3.60 per M. for white cedar
extra shingles delivery Boston. Some of the St. John mills will carry
over good stocks of logs and others will have none at all. Logging
operations are now in full swing.

Continued improvement is reported from Montreal, both in the
wholesale and retail lines. , Prices have been advancing, and are
expected to show further increases, as the demand continues strong.
Activity in the export trade has increased with the approaching end
of the season. It is expected that the total exports this year will be
equal to those of last year.

Boston reports state that buyers are more inclined to come into
the market lately than they were a month ago. At the same time the
volume of production has decreased greatly, and the result has been
firmer quotations. Spruce frames are now steady at $28, according to

United States. ,

Business in the United States showed no signs of slowing up
a result of the presidential campaign. Now that the electior
we can look forward to even greater activity than there ha
ing the past few months. The reason for the failure of t
to interfere with business was that the whole country had si
more to think about that was of importance. From all parts
country reports are received of extraordinary activity, mai
having orders on hand that will keep them running to capaci
practically all of 1917. > a

there is an enormous demand for lumber throughout the
States, and, with sufficient transportation facilities, manufacturer
and distributors of lumber would have no complaints to make. —

The Southern pine trade has felt the car shortage greatly, becau

deals, which are not any too plentiful even at present. The require-
ments of the army in connection with the operations in France and
Belgium have been increasing, and are expected to do so during the
progress of the great push. At Foy, Morgan & Company’s recent
auction sale, 3 x 8 and 3 x 7 inch unsorted Quebec spruce sold at £28

The way in which buyers are taking up stocks at the auction sales
indicates that they are inclined to pay big prices for any goods that
can be handled at once.

The spruce situation at Liverpool shows very little change.
Higher prices are confidently expected in the near future. First cost
prices are expected to be higher, and importers are recognizing the
fact that Canadian manufacturers are sharing in the labor difficulty
and higher costs that are affecting the situation in Great Britain. In
regard to future business, shippers are apparently refusing to consider

Market Correspondence

St. John Trade in Much Better Condition

St. John, N.B., Nov. 8.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)—
During the last two weeks we have had further increases 1n the price
of deals for future delivery. Seemingly the allied governments want
certain supplies for building in the war zone, and are paying good
prices. Of course, this is all war prices, and possibly is no criterion of
a steady market. Nevertheless, the prices are being paid, one concern
having sold long deals of good average widths as high as $30 per M.,
f.o.b. their wharves. The demand is increasing, and practically all the
mills are disposed to sell rather than await higher prices, as it seems
too long a risk. No mills in this section are sawing for the American
market, all sawing English deals. Ocean freights range around 275
shillings, which is excessive, but not quite so high as in 1915 and the
early winter of 1916. Stocks at St. John are not heavy in respect to
deals from St. John mills. Many rotary mills are going in the woods
this winter, as the prices being offered by the deal merchants are good
and at first glance look profitable, but when the high price of provisions
is taken into consideration, along with the extreme wages, many will
be disapoointed when the spring of 1917 opens and they begin to figure
where they stand. Portable mills are in great demand all over the
country, prices for sawing ranging from $3-to $3.50 per M. This is
much higher than paid previously.

It is to be hoped that the prices now prevailing, along with the
demand, will remain steady and not fall off during the coming year.
When one looks at the position of the operator it is hard to say that he
is deserving of any other treatment than this. Prices in New England
are still holding firm at a $28 base price, and it now looks as if a further
increase would take place at any time. In fact, it is felt that by spring
a base price of $30 will be reached, with a good demand. The only
market which is not good through New England is the spruce board
and cedar shingles. No fancy prices can be had for either article, and
buyers need some coaxing to pay $17 per M. for boards at the mills,
IXX and up, or $3.60 per M. for extra cedar shingles delivered Boston
rate of freight.

The next month will see about all the mills at St. John idle, as the
season is fast drawing to a close. Some of the mills will carry over a
good stock of logs and others will have none. No doubt a large quan-
tity of bank logs will be cut this winter, for which good prices are now
being offered. With the extreme high prices being offered for both
logs and lumber, it is no time to gamble, but it is far better to sell on a
safe price.

During the last ten days an association of lumbermen. from’ East-
ern New England was formed and a meeting held at Bangor. All the
largest and many smaller mills were represented, along with many log
operators, and as soon as possible this association will be in full swing,
and will no doubt fill a long-felt want, as for a long time it has been
a cutthroat business from the manufacturers’ standpoint. This asso-
ciation should be successful from the start.

Logging is now in full swing all over the river, and no doubt if
we have a good winter and plenty of help the cut will be normal.

Pacific Coast States Report Increasing Orders

The weekly review of the lumber market, issued by the West
Coast Lumbermen’s Association of Seattle, Wash., under date of No-

delivery now exceed 9,000 carloads, according to the weekly trade
barometer of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association. There has
not been a time in recent years when unfilled orders have shown such
an accumulation—not even in the severe car shortage of 1907. Last
week, in the transcontinental trade, new business taken on amounted

anything except advances upon spot values, claiming that highe
prices are necessary to meet the increased freight rates that
expected, as less tonnage is likely to offer for lumber during the n
few months. ‘The Manchester market is rather quiet, on acca
chiefly of high prices, shortage of men, and absence of building
activity. Prices show practically no change. Spruce is not so stron;

Timber Trade of the British Empir r

Encouragement of Inter-Imperial Trade—The Tariff Problem—Co-operation Between
Practical Man and Scientific Investigator

Under the auspices of the Timber Trade Federation of Great Bri-
tain, an excellent address was delivered recently by Prof. Percy Groom,
M.A., D.Sc., F.L.S., at the London Chamber of Commerce, his subject
being “The Empire's Timber Trade: Its Future and Technology. are
his introduction Prof. Green referred to the need for co-operation
between the practical man and the technical expert. Continuing, he
said:

Great Britain has, I believe, awakened from her apathy. It is
now realized that the real trade warfare is between nation and nation,
not between employer and employe, nor even among trade rivals of
the same country. It.is recognized that each industry in the country
should organize so as to defeat the foreign trade foe. To accomplish
this, fundamental problems concerning the maximum production and
adequate supply and transport, with the difficult associated questions
of labor, will have to be solved.

In this organized trade warfare of the future several ideas are
now more or less widely accepted:

1. That our industries shall be fostered and protected by some
kind of tariff duty.

2. That the British Empire shall utilize its resources to the maxi-
mum possible. This implies on the one hand promotion of trade
within the Empire, and may involve the tariff policy sai ig as colonial
preference.

Thirdly, and I wish to emphasize this as much as possible,

whether or not tariff changes are introduced, there should be the clos-
“est application of scientific principles to industry.

Protection without increased rate of production is a premium con-
ferred upon physical idleness; protection without improved organiza-
tion and improved application of scientific principles is a premium
placed upon a mental lethargy, and in either case protection acts as a
narcotic.

In view of the impending changes of conditions of the timber
trade the most thorough and complete organization of the timber and
wood-consuming industries is‘a paramount necessity ; for the complex
problem has to be solved as to how the conditions of these industries
are to be changed so as to promote national, and even imperial, inter-
ests without seriously disturbing the timber trade. It is obvious that
every member of:the timber trade in this country should be able to
contribute his views and thus should become part of such an organiza-
tion.

But what are the impending changes of conditions? These are not
merely, on the one hand, changes as regards capital available or as
regards .demands for wood to repair damage done in the war and
catch up arrears of work. The mental attitude of our nation and
empire is anew one. There is little doubt that definite protective tariffs
will be adopted. But, so far as timber is concerned, it is not a mere
question of grading the tariffs as regards raw material or manufac-
tured articles. The question will also arise as to the extent to which
woods grown within the British Empire shall be given tariff prefer-
ence. There is little doubt (in fact, |] have none) that more than one
country of the British Empire will ask for such preference as regards
its woods and wooden products. Apart from recognizing the grand
response made by the self-governing countries of the Empire in this
war, the British nation is generally in favor of utilizing to the fullest
the resources of the British Empire. The principle itself is already
decided. The questions are the extent to which this principle can be
_ applied to the timber trade, and, if accepted, the means by which it can
best be applied. Is the Government, with such advice as it elects to
take, to decide this matter as a whole or in detail Or will the timber
trade take organized action and prepare its case and advice? Timber
merchants have already had experience of the Government’s conduct
of timber affairs, and will know if they desire this long-lasting and
revolutionary change to be dealt with in the same manner.

- If the timber trade decide to take action the time seems to have
arrived for determining how the facts are to be collected, and the case

it is known that some exporters will exceed their former total.
shipping by tramps has, toa certain extent, offset the limited amo
of space on liners.

The position of the pulp cian ed remains about the same. §S
phite is still buoyant, and is likely to remain so for a considera’
period. Contracts have just been made for delivery next year at y
high prices. There is a great scarcity in Europe, which will cause
strong (eae on Canadian mills. Ground wood is very firm |
scarce. Newsprint continues in great request, and, with the iner

If it were deemed advisable to form a general intetite 21
mittee to perform this work, such a committee could also”
the matter of ensuring the fullest co-operation between.
science and the wood industries.

These matters are outside the main subject of this ad
cause they are beyond the confines of technical science. Yet
to mention them because, if science is to be of the utmost s
an industry, it, must be in touch with the industry asa
implies organization of the latter.

Science and the Timber Trade.

Now arises the question, How can technical and scientific
aid the timber industry in this country and contribute to t
utilization of the timber resources of the Empire?

Here I would like to emphasize the fact that such re
be of commercial value, even if no change of tariff or
impending or accomplished.

In reference to the application of science to daily life
one fact worthy of note is the frequent largeness of bees :
return or the great enhancement of value of the resul
This fact is illustrated by very varied applications of s
covery. For instance, scientific research stamped out Ma
and the mere commercial saving on the capitalized expendi
sents a business profit of 30,000 per cent. To take an exa
vided by Drs. O. Witt and Max Mueller, the value, of, we

anies and cedars of West Africa and Honduras, greenheart of Guiana,
boxwood of South Africa, and hundreds of less known woods, many
of which are valuable and obtainable in quantity. Research is wanted
as to the properties and uses of these woods, especially the less known
ones. Some will be found useful and valuable, but others often light
in weight may be regarded for the moment as useless as timber.
Though obtainable in quantity, they represent obstructions to the
forester and to the timber dealer. Again there we come to the neces-
sity for investigation of utilization of waste material.

The dominant fact in our imports of timber is the enormous item
(more than £30,000,000 annually) represented by softwood. - The
great deficiency in the British Empire, and this country itself, is in the
_ supply of cheap, readily accessible, coniferous timber. How, then,
can we save as regards this item?

Afforestation will do something to fill this gap possibly forty
years hence. By checking the decay of pitwood alone we should pro-
bably be able to save the import of £1,000,000 worth and a large sum
similarly in buildings.

Can we find in our Empire substitutes for some of this coniferous
wood? Outside the aid that Canada and Newfoundland can give us,
the question may at first sight seem a foolish one, considering the
proximity of our supplies of Baltic fir. But I will examine several
items.

In 1913 we imported wood-pulp amounting in value to nearly
£5,500,000. It may seem a startling statement to make that the world’s
policy in regard to wood-pulp is a wrong one, yet the statement 1s
partially justified and will be true at least before long. The conver-
sion of cheap coniferous wood capable of use as timber is wrong,
because the world’s supply of such is absolutely and relatively decreas-
ing, while the consumption (apart from wood-pulp) is rising. For this
reason alone only such wood should be used for pulp-making as is a
bye-product in sylvicultural operation of growing full-sized timber or
is a bye-product of the clearing of the country for agricultural pur-
poses. But another consideration steps in. This material, soon
destroyed’after conversion into paper, should be grown where produc-
tion is most rapid. Now, if a plant has sufficient water, its rate of pro-
duction of material of plant substance, whether this be timber or not,
is very greatly increased by every rise of temperature. For instance,

one giant thick Malayan bamboo grows a yard in height every day,-

thus attaining its height of 120 feet in comparatively few days. The
place of production of paper material is in the hot country, and par-
ticularly of that of cheap pulp should be the moist tropics. Research
on the light tropical woods will provide suitable material. Time fails
me to deal with the difficulties involved at present, apart from price
and transport, and the fact that means must be found to utilize the
waste, which is greater than in the case of the coniferous wood-pulp.
While on the subject of wood-pulp, one question appears to me to
require answering. That is, why we allow wood-pulp to be imported
into Erigland from countries that actually import the wood from which
it is prepared. The import of timber direct would give us the useful
bye-products of the sulphite industry. A similar question arises in
connection with the match industry, for I believe that Sweden imports
much aspen from Russia and sends it here in the form of matches.
Sweden in 1913 sent us more than £290,000 worth of matches. Among
the soft light woods of the British tropics we can probably find some

appropriate for match-making, our imports of matches being in 1913 _

about £500,000. Wood for making pulp must be cheap, whereas wood
for making the best matches is costly, so that the exploitation’ of
colonial wood for this purpose is a promisig proposition. Another
costly coniferous wood for which a substitute is required is the pencil
cedar. In this connection I may mention that the German Govern-
ment, in its endeavor to promote the*use of German colonial woods,
compelled certain government departments to use pencils made with
a pencil cedar from German East Africa. This is only one case of the
general German policy to advertise and promote the use of its colonial
woods.

Other examples of enquiries that might be instituted are the sub-
stitution of hardwoods for pit-props in deep coal mines or for paving
blocks in certain kinds of streets. For instance, on reference to the
latter the question arises, Why does the jarrah paving last so much
better in Australia than in France or England? Can we improve oir
methods of paving so as to economically permit jarrah or other hard-
woods produced in the Empire to be used’more widely in preference to
Baltic pine under certain types of traffic

In addition to all these investigations concerning the saving of
imported softwood and its possible replacement by imperial-grown
hardwoods, investigations and advertisement of the prospective uses
of some of the less-known Canadian softwoods are desirable.

But, as a whole, the main question of supplies of cheap softwood
can be solved only by afforestation.

Prof. Groom then devoted attention to a consideration of the dif-
ferent varieties of hardwoods secured from various parts of the Empire.
In conclusion, he said:

Another important subject for investigation is that of the utiliza-
tion of waste products, these being in the form of slabs, small frag-
ments of wood, shavings, and sawdust. Those merely engaged in

‘sawing and planing timber will know the resultant wastage; this was

age will be increased if the amount of raw timber imported is increase
at the expense of prepared wood, and where the wood is further. man
ipulated the waste products increase. To show the vastness of tl
amount thus lost, | may mention that I know one establishment w
in normal times has an annual wastage representing timber of a
£20,000. Now, in reality every so-called waste fragment of
represents so much power by which we can do work, for so long
wood can be dried by the sun it can be profitably employed to pro
power to drive engines, either by use directly as fuel or by yielding
and charcoal, or it can be utilized to produce light. These f.
also of significance in forest countries where coal has to be i
from far away. Waste wood can be utilized to produce or hel:
production of substances used in the manufacture of explosives ;
as cordite, acetone; antiseptics such as creosote, carbolic acid,
form; solvents such as both common kinds of alcohol and acetone;
material in the form of grape sugar; celluloid and collodion, and ;
ficial silk. It can be moulded in melted wood. Some of these |
cesses are already adopted abroad, and even to some extent i
land. Some, such as the manufacture of alcohol, require enco1
ment by modifications of the existing law. The chemical utili
of wood especially lends itself to co-operative efforts in large
and to the cases of unmarketable woods in the tropics where
obtainable, and even sometimes in this country (for instan¢
case of oak-coppice). Although largely the matter is not one
tigation, for we have much knowledge on the subject, yet in
cases greatly improved methods and improved machinery wi
upon research. =

The Wood-consuming Trades Interested.

Moreover,.in large towns industries manufacturing small a
such as boot heels, toys, and the like, could be established.
Any comprehensive scheme of research should include wit
purview investigation of the problems concerning industries
using wood. Such a dependent industry, for instance, is the m
ture of pianos. Pianos to the value of many thousands of pot
annually imported into this country from Germany, those pian
ing in quality from the cheapest to the best in existence. —
doubt that with research conducted by the co-operation of
ers with a physicist, a steel expert, and a timber tec
should soon learn the secret of making pianos with the rich
tone that renders the best German pianos so famous. This
the numerous cases in which consultation among representa
various wood-using industries would be of the greatest benefit
such consultation may have far-reaching results owing t
linking of industries. An interesting case | may mention is
African bass trade, which before the war was captured |

large quantities of bass-brooms from Germany, though

An Imperial Timber Bureau.

As a scheme for discussion I might suggest the establi
an imperial timber bureau, placed in London, and in connec
an institution having not merely a timber department, but well-s
and equipped chemical, physical, and engineering and fuel
ments, as well as workshops. The bureau would be in the |
touch with the various countries of the British Empire, and the
and allied trades be available for supplying technical advice, ec
ing investigations, and diffusing information among the tra
professions dealing with wood. s

Small works might have to be established, or experiments in
ing works might be made with the permission and co-opera
their owners. The working of such a scheme in co-operation wi
timber industry, and especially the Timber Trades Federation, wou
I believe, lead to the vast increase in the exploitation of woods grov
in the British Empire, to the establishment of neglected industri

A Chart for Quickly Determining Belt Slip 4

We often read about “per cent. of belt slip,’ without knowing
exactly what we are reading about. Now, belt slip is something
very definite—so definite that it can be measured with a rule and a
watch, and the purpose of this chart is to simplify the effort con-
nected with measuring belt slip. a

If you want the formula on which the chart is based, this is i

dn a
Per cent. of slip = (1— ——) %
DN
Where d = diameter of driven pulley in inches;
ES = r.p.m. of driven pulley ;
= diameter of driving pulley in inches;
N= = r.p.m. of driving pulley.

In the first place, sketch “F” on the chart shows the correct wal
to increase the diameter of a pulley when a belt is on it. It is ‘th
same as measuring from “middle to middle” of belt so far as th
result is concerned, but, more convenient. ‘5g

Unless the belt thickness is considered you may sometimes get
some surprising results, and you may say that “there is no

48 inches, and it runs at a speed of 200 r.p.m. (note the dotted line
drawn from 48, column A, to column E, and note where it ba

after). Next, the diameter of the driven pulley is 24 inches, and if
runs at a measured speed of 300 r.p.m. (Note, again, the dotted ne
between these two points and the intersection between 5 and 6 in
column D. This point of intersection is what we want). a

‘Roughly, each little space in Column D represents 14 per cent
of belt slip. Since the two points we have located are about
spaces apart the total belt slip is, roughly, 28 per cent. Actually, a
cording to the above formula, the slip is 25 per cent. To get the exa
slip on the chart without doing any computing, draw a line from t
“upper point” to “O” of either “1B,” “2B,” or “3B.” I have cham
“2B” be cause it is closest to the points of intersection. Note t
point of intersection of this latter line with column C, and throu;
that point of intersection and the “lower point” in column D the las
straight line is drawn, and it will be found to cut “2B” at 25. Th
slip, therefore, is 25 per cent. -

I have chosen an exaggerated case for the sake of simplicity. 4
little experience with the chart and you can tell closely “with you
eye” whether or not there is any serious slip, remembering that each
space in column “O” represents about 14 per cent. slip, a half space
7 per cent. slip, etc. :

If the two main lines between columns A and E intersect at th
same point in column D, there is no slip. In this example, if w

FLOUR FOR YOUR CAMP

The best economy in the world is to buy that commodity which, being good, is the
cheapest value on the market. This simply means, when choosing flour, don’t be alto-

gether influenced by price, but get a wholesome, nourishing, uniform product that will
bake up into appetizing food. That is why we recommend for your camp

Cream of the West Flour

The Hard Wheat Flour that is guaranteed for Bread

For years this flour has been held up as an excellent example of the “pure food” idea,
and we are jealous in guarding that reputation. Your men will readily respond to your
efforts in giving them good food with more work and cheerful dispositions, which means a
big money saving to you.

Our horse feed is distinctly good. Bullrush Crushed Oats (best grade Western oats)
and Geneva Feed (crushed oats and cracked corn) are both worthy of attention for your
stable.

the lines between columns A and FE will both eer act the same point
in column D, and “1B,” “2B,” and “3B” become useless, of course.

In using this chart you don’t have to really “draw lines,” at all.
Just lay a straight edge across or stretch a fine thread across and note
the points of intersection.

It will be noted that the range of the chart is very wide; from
3-inch pulley diameter to 300 inches, and from 10 r.p.m. to 10,000 r.p.m.
It therefore will easily cover all ordinary cases.

Widely Known Lumber Trade Journalist Passes Away

J. D. Crary, founder, publisher and managing director of the New
York Lumber Trade Journal, and one of the founders of the New
York Lumber Trade Association thirty years ago, and its secretary,
died on November Ist, at his residence, in Brooklyn, N.Y., after a long
illness. The late Mr. Crary was a man of signal ability, and left the
impress of his personality upon the lumber trade, with which he was
closely associated almost throughout his whole life.

Who Knows About This?

Prince Rupert, Bac:

Iditor Canada Lumberman :—

We would like to know if there is a book of any description pub-
lished for the purpose of estimating the amount of lumber used in
boxes of various sizes. If you can give us the name of the publishers
we will greatly appreciate it—Georgetown Saw Mill Co., Ltd.

Are the Forests Worth Protecting

As long as Pacific Coast lumbermen are willing to sell these great
yellow fir trees, that took 400 years to grow, for $9 at the mill, I don’t
see why we should bother to prevent forest fires. . . . The retail
price of fir lumber in Australia is $56 a thousand. A difference of $2
a thousand here at the mill they would not-notice or bother to change
their retail price for. The only. change they ever made in their retail
prices is to advance or lower them $6 a thousand—H. R. MacMillan,
before the Western Forestry and Conservation Association.

will be cut this fall by nine lumber companies, who will employ more

than 10,000 lumberjacks.

Saves Much Labor

The Barienger Brake will help you out wonderfully in this season of labor
shortage. Every camp superintendent should investigate its merits im-
mediately. It means money saved right from the outset.

Instead of building costly roads in that hilly tract of timber
Or instead of sand or straw hilling, simply install a
Barienger Braking Device and bring out much
. heavier loads with perfect safety down
otherwise impassable _ inclines.
No chance of accidents.
It saves much time.

tical lumbermen and has been in use for

years in the Canadian woods, as well as in

lumber centres all over America. Read what one

The Hendun Lumber Company, Ltd., has obtained a charter, with head
office at Timmins, Ont.

Work has started on the erection of a planing mill for Hector McLea
Orillia, Ont. The building will be one storey, 50x90, frame constructioi
brick boiler house. The owner will be in the market for engine, boiler,
planing mill equipment.

Reports from Port Arthur, Ont., state that a large wood pulp mill wit
erected there in the near future. It is stated that the plant will have a capac!
of 150 tons of wood pulp per day, in three units of 50 tons each, and that tl
cost of the plant will be $1,000,000. It will be located in the sorts end om
city, at Bare Point, where the municipality has given the company 100 acres ¢
land. A large paper mill will be added at a later date.

Heavy rains have resulted in raising the level of the Ottawa River to Such
an extent that the two pulp mills at the J. R. Booth plant, which were clos
down some time ago because of low water, are running again and gi
employment to about 800 men. The rain has also swelled the Gatineau Riv
and thousands of logs which were stranded on sandbars are passing down to

sac

the Gilmour and Hughson mills, which have been reopened. ’ 3

Dominion Hardwoods, Ltd., manufacturers of hardwood specialties, Deser
onto, Ont., who recently lost their plant by fire are building a complete factor
for the manufacture of broom handles, pail handles, tie plugs, fish boxes,
fish floats. The plant will be modern in every respect, equipped with the lat
machinery, and will be in operation about the end of November. The bui
ing and equipment has cost between $50,000 and $60,000. The broom han
plant will have a capacity of from 35,000 to 40,000 handles per day. The p
handle plant will have a capacity of 100,000 handles per day. The compa
are very favorably situated in regard to timber, having an assured supply fror
option and otherwise for twenty years.

An agreement has been signed by the Ontario Government granting to”
Mr. J. A. McAndrew, of Toronto, the right to cut timber from 180 square
miles of unoccupied lands in the Townships of Hanna, Reaume, Mann,
John, and Aurora, in the District of Temiskaming, upon condition that large
mills be erected within the territory for the manufacture and treatment of
timber and wood and wood products, giving employment to 100 hands. he
lease of this area was decided upon by the Government early in 1914, wher
tenders were invited, but Mr. McAndrew’s tender was not approved unti
October 14, 1916. A joint stock company will be incorporated, with subscribed
capital of $300,000, to erect the mills. Exclusive of sawmills, the expenditure
upon woodworking plants must be $100,000, according to the agreement, and
the daily output of these plants shall be the product of 75,000 cords of wood.
The lease is for 21 years. It is likely that the plant will be erected in Coch-
rane or at a point on the Frederickhouse River. A rossing plant will also be
erected for the treatment of pulpwood. Articles to be manufactured
include box shooks, cigar boxes, laths, broom and pick handles, wooden spools,
doors and sash, and all wood accessories. Plans for the woodworking plant
are now being prepared. ;

will be an increase of 4,000,000 feet over last winters output.

Savoie & Co., Manseau, P.Q., have recently added several new machines to
their dressing mill equipment. They have also increased the power plant in
this mill, and now handle on an average two carloads of lumber for dressing
in transit daily. The company have also opened two ranges, seven miles long,
to colonization, and have built a good road in the middle of the district. They
are building a sawmill'to manufacture lumber and timber required by settlers,
and report that they have already had considerable success, having sold sixty
80-acre lots to settlers.

Sealed tenders are being received by the Minister of Lands for British
Columbia until the 22nd day of November, 1916, for the purchase of license
X695, to cut 11,180 cords of cedar shingle bolts on an area adjoining lot 14,
Olson Lake, New Westminster District. Two years will be allowed for the
removal of the timber.

A scarcity of logs has resulted in the closing down of the sawmill of the
Columbia River Lumber Company, Ltd., at Golden, B.C. The log shortage is
the outcome of the difficulty in securing labor in the logging camps. The
total cut during the four and a half months’ operation at the mill this year has
been 20,500,000 feet. If it had not been for the early closing and the time
during floods in the summer the output for the season would have been about
35,000,000 feet.

Timber inspector George-D. McKay reports that if the supply of
labor keeps up logging operations on the British Columbia coast will
probably be maintained all winter. The logging output during Octo-
ber scaled over 70,000,000 feet in the Vancouver district. Very few
mills have any stocks of logs in their booming grounds. Nearly all of
them are living on a hand-to-mouth basis, using up the logs as rapidly
as they arrive. However, there is a great labor shortage, and some of
the camps may be compelled to close.

A recent report from New Orleans, La., states that the British
Admiralty will furnish a number of vessels for the shipment of a por-
tion of 30,000,000 feet of Southern yellow pitch pine which is on order

‘‘Itisn’t going—it’s dragging.”

‘(What's the matter—men sore?”

‘‘No! There snocomplaint. Grubis good;

men seem willing enough—but they don’t

‘‘Say, Thompson, why don’t you get real
beds for the men, /ike the one I'm sitting on?”

‘(Holy mackerel! I ain’t running a Ritz-
Carlton Hotel at my camp.”

‘‘T don’t mean brass beds and Ostermoor
mattresses; I mean sanitary steel bunks with
real springs. They will be money in your
pocket.”

‘You mean money out of my pocket.”

‘‘No, sir! The trouble with your men is lack
of rest. They don’t get a good night’s rest
on those hard, wooden bunks of yours that
can’t possibly be kept free from vermin ;
they can’t do a day’s work. Those old
bunks are costing you a pile of money, be-
cause they are keeping the men from doing
their best work.

‘Tell you what, Thompson, rip out the
old wooden shelves that your men are trying
to sleep on—put in ‘Alaska’ Sanitary Steel
Bunks—and you'll find that your men will
turn Out about 25% more work. I proved
it myself, and so did Miller.” (So have

THAT BIG ITEM

TIME

and Unfailing

International

Compute it

It is one thing to buy a commodity—another thing to get it,
and still another matter to be sure of full measure.

The most elusive raw material that you buy, and the one
which represents your greatest investment, is TIME.

Hour-glass methods of time keeping are no longer practical in
a modern plant. You need an International to keep an accurate
account of the millions of minutes you buy each month.

There are 260 different styles of International Time Recorders.
One of them is perfectly suited to your requirements.

When You
Overhaul Your Mill

belting can ‘‘make good.” It is for these wet places that we recommend what most
mill-men swear by—our

this belt is especially made for a rough and trying service. It has less stretch than any other

belt by 15 to 25 per cent.

When you are overhauling try a Goodhue ‘‘ Acme Waterproof” belt. Other Goodhue belts
extra” and ‘* Standard.” |

Labor is Expensi

The labor problem will be very serious for many lumber camps this year. Men
are scarce and wages correspondingly high. Labor saving devices
should have your most careful attention. Investigate this Bar-
ienger Brake. It will save a great amount of work, especi-
ally in hilly country. No need for expensive roads,
sand or straw hilling. This Braking device
will allow heavier loads to be brought
down very steep inclines with ab-
solute safety.

It will save its
cost in no time and
will make money for every
camp operating on hilly land.

The Barienger Brake is well known
in Canada and has given excellent service for
years. Read the letter below from one Canadian
Lumber Camp. We have very many just as enthusiastic.

“Strength of Gibraltar,” while not our phrase, aptly applies to the
rubber belting made by us and sold under the name “Gibraltar Red-
special.” ;
fe fe fe

It would be interesting to us if you, as a user of belting, would, before
making your next purchase, get a verdict on “Gibraltar” from some of

your friends.
fe fe fe

Ask them if a stronger belt than “‘Gibraltar”—one giving more service
with less loss of power—can be obtained anywhere; if any other product
will survive heavy loads better; and, if, in withstanding the jerky strains
consequent on fluctuation of power, any other belt can show a higher quality
of friction in uniting the plies than “ Gibraltar Redspecial.”

fe fe fe

We have evidence aplenty, in the form of voluntary testimony,
which shows that for strength, durability and general service “Gibraltar
Redspecial”’ is matchless. In the Biggest Saw Mills, Biggest Pulp and
Paper Mills, Biggest Manufacturing Plants, one “driving force” is nearly
always in evidence—Dunlop “Gibraltar” Belting.

fe fe fe

For Drives, Rotaries, Edgers, Lath and Shingle Machines, or any kind

of Transmission work, there is nothing better than Dunlop “ Gibraltar

Redspecial” Belting.

And what Dunlop “Gibraltar Redspecial”? means to users of
Transmission Belting, Dunlop “Samson” ensures to users of Conveyor or
Elevator Belting.

The General Trade Situation

The car shortage which has been handicapping business so
greatly in the United States during the past month and for which
there seems to be very little relief in sight as yet, has fortunately
not been of anything like the same dimensions in Canada in connec-
tion with transportation up Canadian railroads. While there is con-
siderable delay and difficulty in connection with shipments from New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec points into Ontario, on account
of the scarcity of cars, the situation elsewhere in Canada is not so
acute as is usual at this time of year and the indications are that at
an early date plenty of cars will be available for a normal volume of
In fact the real trouble today is not so much shortage of cars
as shortage of labor for loading and unloading cars at points of origin
and consignment. Recently this shortage of labor has given rise in
some cases to embargoes upon shipments to certain important mar-
kets, such as that which was put into effect by the C. P. R. in con-
nection with shipments into Toronto early in November. If there were
a fair supply of labor today there’ would be reasonably satisfactory
loading and discharge of shipments. Of course, the shipment of lum-
ber into Canada from United States points is affected by the shortage
of cars in that country, but from a number of reports that we have
received from large shippers we are able to state that Canadian ship-
ments are not really suffering from a car shortage, something for
which we have to be extremely thankful in these days of general
industrial disturbances.

The lumber trade situation in Canada today is encouraging. Dur-
ing the past month or two there has been. an unquestionable improve-
ment in all lines. The demand which had been to a considerable

extent stationary almost since the outbreak of the war, with the ex-

ception, of that for shell boxes and other war materials, has com-
menced to improve. The statistical situation of the industry has been
bettered steadily during the past two years. Production has been
curtailed to a great extent by natural rather than by artificial causes,

and during the present winter it will be curtailed to a far greater ex-

i

tent than ever before. The retail trade have learned of this situation
and are now buying stocks, knowing that next year they will be able
to sell anything they have on hand at prices considerably in advance
of those prevailing today. Large consumers are coming into the
market extensively for similar reasons, foreseeing that they will have
to pay more next year for their stocks than they are paying today.
This situation has been brought about logically by the scarcity of the
supply, the high cost of production and the fact that demand is steadi-
ly increasing. Today, it begins to look as though the buying move-
ment will reach much greater proportions within the next month or
two than it has already attained and that the new year will find most
of the yards and consuming industries supplied with stocks to carry
them through until spring. For this reason we expect a decline in the
volume of trade during the early months of 1917.

The hemlock situation is interesting. At the mills today, manu-
facturers are asking $19 to $20 for No. 1 hemlock, good sizes. De-
livered at Toronto the price comes to about $21.50 to $22, and we hear
that some manufacturers are considering the advisability of asking
higher prices still. Without wishing to restrict the improvement in
the hemlock trade, we cannot avoid expressing some of the views
we heard while calling upon the wholesale trade, namely, that manu-
facturers of hemlock must not overlook the yellow pine situation.
Stocks of yellow pine that will take the place of the above stocks of
hemlock are being offered today delivered at Toronto. for $21.75 to $23.
There is practically no margin between the two lines. From past
experience the hemlock manufacturers know what happens when the
flood gates for yellow pine are opened. Hemlock simply has to take
a big drop when this happens. It may be the better course now not
to ask higher prices for hemlock unless the situation in connection
with yellow pine improves sufficiently to warrant such a step beyond
any doubt.

The export trade situation is also interesting today. The latest
information we have regarding ocean freight rates is not encouraging.
It indicates another extensive increase. A month ago it was possible
to get space from east coast points to Glasgow for 260 shillings per
standard. Today, very little space is offering, and for it the shipping
companies are asking 325 shillings per standard. The course of
ocean freight rates during the past year and the present situation in
connection with the submarine activity of Germany lead to a general
feeling that space will be more expensive next year than ever before.
In September, 1915, the rate was about 150 shillings. In November,
charters were made from Boston to Glasgow at 180 shillings. Then
the rate advanced from 185 shillings in December to. 260 shillings in
February and “first open water” quotations reached 400 shillings, as
compared with 175 shillings to 250 shillings a year ago. No contracts
are yet reported for “first open water,” 1917, it beifg still considerably
too early for such business.

Metalor Lumber Clad Barns— Which?

A recent issue of the Uxbridge Journal, published at Uxbridge,
Ontario, contains an article headed “A Lumber or Metal Clad Barn—
Which?” It is interesting reading because of the subtle way in which
an attempt is made to convince the farmer that a metal clad barn is
more permanent and cheaper than one of wood.

A comparison is made between two barns, each 36 feet wide and
56 feet long, with side walls 16 feet high, and having a gambrel roof.
It is assumed that the frame will be of lumber in both cases, and will
cost $500. We are next to assume that the farmer will be in a state
of doubt and anxiety as to whether to cover the roof and the sides
with metal or with wood. In the comparative estimate, the best show-
ing that can be made is that the metal clad barn will cost $155.75 more
than the all wooden barn. The metal covering would be galvanized
corrugated iron at $6.00 per square.

Without looking into the details of metal prices or checking the
accuracy of the lumber costs, the forced arguments in favor of the
metal barn are found to defeat themselves. It is stated that the de-
preciation on the metal clad building, according to the “Valuators
Tables of Insurance Companies,” (whatever they are), “is never
greater than 1% per cent. per annum, while on a wooden building it

26 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

is not less than 214 per-cent.” (it is not clear whether this deprecia-
tion figure comes from the same source). The metal clad barn costs
$1,282.75 with a depreciation of 1%4 per cent., or $16.03 per year, and
would last 80 years before the complete cost was expended in repairs.
Now look at the poor wooden barn. With an original cost of $1,127
and depreciation of 2% per cent. the building would last only 40 years
before the complete cost had been expended in repairs.

A wooden barn which does service 40 years is a pretty fair in-
vestment; yet many have greatly exceeded this life. If a metal barn
has ever been built which lasted this long no one has every heard of it.
It will be a sad day for the stock which is sheltered only by what was
left of galvanized corrugated barn siding after 80 years, or even ten
or twenty years. Not long ago farmers in northern Michigan were
beseiged by metal barn covering salesmen, and some of them were
persuaded to buy metal covering for their buildings. If the advocate
of the metal barn talked to a few of these farmers now he would get
a decidedly different impression of its lasting qualities.

We have seen a roof of old fashioned black iron, which by being
kept well painted, had lasted 27 years. We have also seen galvanized
iron roofing which rusted through in less than ten years. How any-
body can talk about the metal barn lasting eighty years and get away
with it, is more than we know. Surely no sane farmer will believe it.

Export Timber Trade of Quebec

At a recent sitting of the Dominions Royal Commission, held in
Quebec, P.Q., one of the witnesses was Mr. John Burstall, of the
firm of J. Burstall & Company, timber and lumber merchants, Quebec.
In the course of his testimony Mr. Burstall said that the amount of
timber handled in Quebec for export was a very large one, but late
years has seen a material reduction. Practically all the pine, oak, elm
and birch logs brought to Quebec are for export to Great Britain,
though there is at times a fair local demand. The average of five
years export, from 1904 to 1908 are given as :—

Pine: 1,447,229 cubic feet, or 28,940 loads of 50 cubic feet.

Oak: 433,904 cubic feet, or 8,660 loads of 50 cubic feet.

Elm: 355,707 cubic feet, or 7,115 loads of 50 cubic feet.

Birch: 179,551 cubic feet, or 3,550 loads of 50 cubic feet.

In 1915 the export was :—

Pine: 346,440 cubic feet, or 6,930 loads of 50 cu. ft. Value $285,221.

Oak: 187,160 cu. ft., or 3,740 loads of 50 cu. ft. Value $139,332.
Elm: 173,040 cu. ft., or 3,460 loads of 50 cu. ft. Value $162,233.

Birch: 273,920 cu. ft., or 5,480 loads of 50 cu. ft. Value $99,391.

For 1916 the figures are not out yet, but will probably show an
increase in oak and a decrease in the other lines.

The method originally employed to take the timber to Quebec
was to float it down in rafts! To-day, however, the timber is mostly
made at points too far away from navigable waters to allow of it
being floated, and it all comes by rail. This has naturally enormously
increased the cost, especially as some of the distances are great.

To take the most important woods separately :

White Pine :—This comes chiefly from Ontario, and is the finest
known wood for deckplank for steamers or for pattern making. It
does not split or shake as does Oregon pine, which is sometimes used
for the same purpose. The logs have to be of good average, say 20
inches calliper or so, and there is only a percentage of this sized tim-
ber in even the best pine forests of Canada. The British Admiralty,
the machine makers in the Manchester district and shipbuilders are
the consumers of this kind of pine. The war has very adversely
affected the consumption of this line.

White Oak:—This wood is largely produced in the northern
States, practically all the export goes to the larger railways of Britain.
The timber has to be 18 feet and up and 13 inches and up, and runs
55 to 60 feet average cube. The business is generally rendered diffi-
cult, owing to the competition in selling with oak which comes from
the southern States, and also Odessa and Dantzic. These latter ports

are, of course, closed now, and this has had an effect on the oak ship-
ments here.

Rock Elm:—The best of the different kinds of elm is produced
in Ontario, Michigan and Wisconsin, and is used chiefly by the British
Admiralty, and the shipbuilders. It is usually 20 feet and up and

and runs about eleven feet average long. ss

The above mentioned lines comprise anos all the wood shippe

Bathurst Company May Build Ships

New Brunswick Lumber Manufacturers Planning New
Venture if Government Grants a Subsidy.

Mr. Angus McLean, general manager of the Bathurst Lumber
Company, Ltd., Bathurst, N.B., advises us that his company is consid-
ering the formation of a company for the building of wooden ships.
The carrying out of the proposition depends upon whether the Domin-
ion Government will provide a subsidy for the industry. The Bathurst
Lumber Company, Ltd., have been figuring on this matter for a year,
Mr. McLean says, “but under present conditions it is difficult to put
the plan into operation. There is an acute scarcity of labor for indus-
tries already established, and an entirely new industry would undoubt-
edly be handicapped by the same cause. The business would certainly
require governmental nursing for a few years, until it became estab-
lished. In fact, we would not care to start a proposition of this kind
unless the government offered a subsidy. Any subsidy, of course,
would be general. Bathurst has no claim to preferential treatment.
The government is being urged strongly to grant subsidies for this
objeet, and I fully believe it will do so during the next session of par-
jiament. If Bathurst gets its share, we will organize a company with
local capital, and start building two ships, to be ready for launching in
the spring of 1918. Our plans are necessarily in abeyance until we
know definitely what the government intends to do. Wooden ships
can be built. here as well and as cheaply as anywhere. We have an
abundance of the main raw material right at hand.

“The demand for new shipping, which is almost bound to grow
greater as the war is prolonged, will still further augment the rise in
the prices of vessels, and the inevitable result will be that the more
ships built the more expensive will shipbuilding become. The world
simply must have more ships to make good the shortage, and it is
almost true to say that practically anything that floats will be pressed
into service. Any less there may be in the comparatively slowness of
voyage of the smaller wooden ship will be more than offset by the less
amount of interest such a ship will have to earn to cover charges on
her working capital. Bunker coal for steamers is certain to maintain
a high figure for some time to come, and here, again, the sailing vessel
wins out.

“We propose to build sailors of from 500 to 1,000 tons. Nowadays
when we speak of ‘sailors’ we do not necessarily mean ships dependent
for their motive power upon wind exclusively. Various types of inter-
national comhustion engines can'be adapted for quite large vessels, as
they have been for automobiles, aeroplanes, and launches. We shall
probably fit either gasoline or crude oil:engines into our ships, and the
making of these in themselves may in time become an important indus-
try in Bathurst.”

Great Britain Reducing Paper Imports

According to the latest issue of the Weekly Bulletin of the De-
partment of Trade and Commerce, there was a substantial decline in
paper imports into Great Britain during the month of September, the
quantity being less than in any previous month of the current year
and only a little over one-half the total during September, 1915; also
32.8 per cent. less than the total for September, 1914. The receipts
during September in the last three years were as follows:

Cwts. Approximative.
september, 1916". ...8... 640,740 $3,262,270
September, 1915.......... 1,118,220 328,530
September, 1914 -........ 954.559 2,541,105

In spite of the decrease in quantity during September, 1916, the
total value records an increase of 28.3 per cent., which illustrates the
marked advance in the price of paper. The total quantity of paper on
reels imported shows a decrease of 61.3 per cent. The main bulk of
the total imports came from Newfoundland, 56.88 per cent. Imports
of print paper and writings not reeled fell 35.4 per cent., compared with
September, 1914, and there was a decrease of 15.0 per cent. in packings
and wrappings. Shipments of strawboard showed a decrease of 17.1
per *cent., and those of mill and wood-pulp boards a decrease of 21.66
per cent. compared with September, 1914.

Lumber Price Fluctuations, 1913-1915

_ According to the. report upon wholesale prices in Canada for the
year 1915, published by the Department of Labor, Ottawa. there was
an almost continuous decline in the price of lumber from 1913 to the
end of 1915. In preparing a chart of lumber prices thé average prices
from 1890 to 1899 are taken as the standard, and the advances or
decreases since that time are quoted in percentages, the standard being
considered as 100. In the year 1910 the prices of lumber, including
all the chief lines of lumber produced in Canada, stood at an average

_ of 160, indicating an advance of 60 per cent. over the prices during
the standard period. During 1911 the prices advanced rapidly during
the first three months, reaching 167, where they continued during the
next three months, then falling to 163 during July, August, and Sep-

tember, and closing the year at 164. During 1912 a gradual advance

occurred, with slight fluctuations, until at the close of the year it stood
at 170. The year 1913 opened with rapidly advancing prices, which
continued throughout the first nine months, reaching 185 at the end of
September, and easing off to 184 at the end of December. This
decrease, which commenced about October, 1913, was continued prac-
tically throughout 1914 and 1915. At the end of 1914 the price was
179 and at the end of 1915 it was 175.

French Market for Canadian Pulp

A recent report from Mr. Philippe Roy, Commissioner General
for Canada-in Paris, includes a memorandum prepared by the French
Epinal Chamber of Commerce regarding conditions under which
chemical and mechanical wood pulp are imported from Scandinavian
countries, particularly Sweden, into France. It is hoped, the Commis-
sioner says; that Canadian manufacturers may get in touch with the
Epinal Chamber of Commerce and learn how to meet the necessary
exporting conditions, so as to enlarge the French market for Can-
adian pulp. The report says :—

According to sellers, conditional terms of delivery vary greatly.
Some dehiver with a freight guarantee, others without guarantee as
to freight rates, unless freight is charged at the rate ruling at the
time of shipment. Some adopt the date of departure for the rate of
exchange, others the day of arrival. All the demurrage charges are
borne by the buyers. In the case of pulp in a dry state, that is to say,
absolute dryness with an addition of 10 per cent., prices c.1.f. Rouen
current up to the present, demurrage not included, are as follows

Chemical pulp: 72 frances per 100 kilos dry.
Mechanical: 45 francs per 100 kilos dry.

These prices are meant to be c.i.f. Rouen, transit, handling and
demurrage charge, being at the expense of the buyer. Exchange is in
crowns at the normal rate of 72. Average quality is similar to that
supplied by Canada. Delivery takes place until the closing of the
Baltic ports by ice. Even in average grade, Scandinavian pulp is
preferred. The small business transacted with Canada does not in- .
crease because Canadian offers were made by brokers without experi-
ence (some even taking hundredweights for tons), who gave no de-
tails as to accessory conditions which may increase prices from 30
per cent. to 40 per cent. The time would now be appropriate to pre-
pare business for delivery between December and May, when the
closing of the Baltic does not allow transportation, unless the Swedish
railroads are used to Gottenburg.

The Scandinavian production offers wet pulp at prices from 3 to
3.50 francs lower than the prices previously indicated.

Cumulative Demurrage Introduced by U. S. Railroads

United States railroads have filed cumulative demurrage tariffs
with the Interstate Commerce Commission, to become effective De-
cember 1, 1916. These tariffs increase the demurrage charges, after
the expiration of the free time, to the following rates: $2 for the first
day, $3 for the second day, $4 for the third day, $5 for the fourth and
each succeeding day. At points where track storage is provided for it
is proposed to assess $2 per day in addition to the track storage, but
the $3, $4, and $5 charges will apply only when the addition of $2 to
the storage rates makes a sum less than the advanced demurrage
charge. On behalf of the members of the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers’ Association, a protest has been filed. with the Interstate Com-
merce Commission for the suspension of these tariffs pending hearing
and investigation. £

Flume Builders May Expropriate Where They Please

An interesting and important judgment was given in the Supreme
Court at Vancouver recently regarding the power of a timber com-
pany to expropriate a right of way through another’s property for the
purpose of constructing a timber flume. The case was one in which
R. A. Olds and G. F. Crocket had applied for authority to expropriate
for a right of way for flume through the lands of Mary Jane and Anna
Collins. Counsel for the owners of the land in question stated that -
his clients wished the flume to follow the creek, but the loggers
wanted to run it through the middle of their land. “Surely,” he said,
“his clients had some rights on their own lands.” ‘Not in this case,”
said Chief Justice Hunter. A man who wanted a right of way to bring
timber from Timbuctoo could get it under the act. Like a railway
company, they could run their right of way through the other party’s
front parlor, if they desired to do so, and the only remedy was a
claim for compensation. . :

3ritain have been the subject: of many short articles and news
despatches in the press of Great Britain and Canada, but no really
extensive descriptions of their work have appeared until quite recently.
We are pleased to be able to publish in this issue a couple of interest-
ing illustrations of the work of this battalion and some detailed descrip-
tion of their work, secured from various sources.

Lumbermen in Canada will recall that the first Canadian forestry
battalion to go overseas was known as the 224th, and that other bat-
talions of a similar type have followed subsequently, while still
another is being recruited and is now nearly up to strength. The latest
reports received regarding the work of the 224th Forestry Battalion
state that part of it has been working in the forests of the north of
Scotland, cutting Scottish pine. One company of the battalion has
also been at work in the Royal Park at Windsor Castle and another
company in the New Forest in Hampshire. For these operations
eight sawmills were sent over from Canada, six being for the 224th
Forestry Battalion and two for the Forestry Committee in England,
which has supervision over all lumbering operations for the Govern-
ment during the war. These mills are typical of the Canadian lumber-
ing industry, and resemble what we know in Canada as “portable”
mills. They are, however, quite a novelty to the people of the British
Isles, and their remarkable efficiency has attracted favorable comment
wherever they have appeared. The capacity of these mills is from
15,000 to 20,000 feet per day each, and they include edger, slash saw,
saws for making railway ties, etc., in addition to the 56-inch circular
saw. Power is furnished by 40 h.p. locomotive boilers.

The Method of Operation.

A London correspondent, describing these operations, says:

“Not even in the days of the Armada and the wooden walls of
England was there such a tree felling as is now going on in Great
Britain. In every wood the sound of the axe and the saw can be heard,
and lumber camps as picturesque as any on the Missouri are to be
found as far apart as the Scotch fir woods and the Windsor and New
forests, where the Canadian lumbermen are working. Behind the
statement of Mr. Acland in the House of Commons, that the Home
Grown Timber Committee had been successful in securing supplies
there lies a story of one of the best efforts that has been made by any
government department to meet the present war emergency,

“The emergency work of the committee has included not only the
importation of Canadian lumbermen, but the importation of Irishmen,

and even of Portuguese, who are now employed in cutting pit props
to supply the Welsh coal fields.

“By an order-in-council, under the Defence of the Realm Act, thea
committee has been empowered to commandeer all the timber _
resources of the cuournt*y, but so far their action has been limited to
negotiation with the land-owners, who, Mr. Acland says, ‘have met”
them most fairly.’ This step was rendered necessary by the fact that i,
the Government had no large supply under its own control. Britai
was not alone in failing to anticipate the consumption of timber which
war would entail. Tn none of the belligerent countries, not even in
Germany, had a proper estimate been made of the demand that woulda
arise for ash wood for wagons, for fir for trench work, for woods for
hutments, and for the thousand other needs of the army.

“There remains, however, this difference, that Germany and the ©
other countries had their supplies at hand in the best possible condi- —
tion of storage—in their forests—while the British even now, when
tonnage has become so important a factor in the war, are importing
some six or seven million cubic feet of timber each week, If in these ©
circumstances the German submarine warfare had been more suc-
cessful, there would have been necessary a wholesale destruction of
British forests which would have laid England bare for a generation.

“Now much is being done to use Britain’s own natural resources,
and much more will probably be done during next winter, if the war
lasts as long. Some definite plan must at once be laid down for affor-
estation after the war, and the three essential things the Government
at that time must be certain about are where to plant, what to plant,
and whether they have got the plants to carry out the scheme. Of
these three the last comes first.

“The plants must be ready when the labor released after the war
is available, and here a little war time discovery on the. part of the
committee is worth mention. They have discovered that Scotch fir
makes better railway sleepers than imported pitch pine.” 4

Regarding the work of the 224th Forestry Battalion from Canada
in converting “the standing timber of Great Britain into war material
the London Times, in a recent issue, ‘says: : : i

“The lumber camp is all Canadian—men, machinery, and methods.
‘The men, who are drawn from all parts of the Dominion, have the
bronzed, healthy look and the easy, confident swing which we have
learned to look for in Canadians. The khaki under theit blue overalls
proclaims them soldiers; they draw military pay and they know the
rudiments of military drill; but first and last they are woodsmen, with __

their craft at their finger-tips. Every man knows his task and does it
with an enviable independence of orders or instructions; yet from the
first stage to the last the work proceeds smoothly and harmoniously.
Let us follow the process, under the guidance of the officer in charge
and the sergeant who is ‘foreman of the bush.’ ”

Then follows a description of the actual felling of the trees and
their conversion, in the portable mill, into such widths, thicknesses,
and lengths as are required. To all intents and purposes these opera-
tions are similar to the operations on Canadian timber limits, the
details of which are well known to Canadian lumbermen.

Canadian Portable Mills.

Describing the mill, the London Times says:

“The mill itself is a stoutly-built structure, made of timber cut and
prepared on the spot, the saws and engines coming from Canada. It
is practically a raised platform, covered by an iron roof, but open at
the sides. A log to be sawn is rolled into position on a-‘carriage,’ which
moves backwards and forwards to carry it through a circular saw.
Two men, standing on the carriage, control its movements and the
position of the log by a number of levers. Opposite them stands the
most important man of all—the ‘sawyer’-—whose trained eye sees at a
glanée what can be made of this or that log. The hum of the engine
and the screech of the saw would drown his voice, so he gives his
As the carriage brings a log back through the
saw with the bark removed, he will hold up one finger or two, and the
‘setter’ on the carriage, by movement of a lever, adjusts the log so that
the next cut shall be one inch or two inches thick.

ming the edges of the boards and cutting off the ends, join in the’

chorus. Is it surprising that the daughter of the keeper of the wood
was reduced to tears when she stood by the mill?”

- An interesting reference to the uses of timber at the front and
behind the lines is contained in a recent issue of “Country Life in Eng-
land,” which says: :

“War has turned out to be a great consumer of lumber. Passing
by for the moment the wooden huts and wooden carts for lodging and
transport, the miscellaneous crowd of wooden boxes, cases and imple-
ments fashioned for equipment, how dependent on wood is the soldier
when he takes the field! It did not take him long to learn that in a
country like Flanders, with modern guns pointing at them, trenches
must be deep to be of the slightest use, and that if they were deep
would not stand wet weather unless propped with wood. Conjure up
a vision of the wood being employed in the trenches, not of one army
only, but of many, and it will be understood that the timber-swallow-
ing power of the coalpit as compared with that of the trench is as the
swallow of the minnow compared to the swallow of the salmon. And
yet the trench represents only a feature of the total, especially in

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 29

these days when military science orders that front line trenches should
only be lightly held. Behind are the much more elaborate dug-outs.
In the original trench the danger experienced was that of rain bring-
ing ona landslip. The occupant in more than one instance was buried
up to the shoulders in earth, and shot by the enemy before he could be
extricated. In the early dug-out many lives were lost by shrapnel and
splinters. [From these they are now fortified by a roof built of heavy
beams laid side by side. Let it be realized what a consumption of
timber this means. Yet, practically speaking, there is no choice as to
material. Steel is possible, but is in too much demand for actual
fighting stuff. Cement has been tried, but will not do.

“On the road behind the lines there is an immense employment of
heavy timber, without which the present advance, for example, would
not have been possible. When the great guns used by the Germans at
Verdun and by us to demolish their trenches between the Ancre and
the Aisne have to be got forward, the only way to do it is by tempor-
ary railway lines. Hence the demand for sleepers. And every sleeper
signalizes that a large tree has been felled. Any intelligent student of
the daily war news will be able to imagine without difficulty what a
prodigious quantity of timber is being used up for this purpose alone.
Nor can there be much need to enlarge on the other military demands
for wood. It has been used ffeely, not only in bridge building across
rivers, but to make a bridge or passage over roads that in the fearfully
wet weather would otherwise have been impassable to heavy military
traffic. The army is like a monster which has to be fed continuously
on great shiploads of timber. The Home Grown Timber Committee is
in this sense a great destructive agency, since it exists for the purpose
of feeding this tremendous appetite as far as this can be done from
home. Portugal, Spain, and France have contributed a vast share. The
demand is almost exclusively for softwood, which is so much easier
carried, manipulated, sawn, nailed, and so on, than hardwood.”

The illustrations accompanying this article give a good idea of
one of the sawmills used by the 224th Forestry Battalion. This mill
was built by the Canadians on the spot. The men shown in the illus-
tration are rolling logs ta a point from which they will be hauled up
by mechanical power to a platform where they are loaded on to the
circular saw carriage; on the other end of the mill the timber comes
out squared and ready for use. The other illustration shows timber
which has passed through the mill being piled, ready for shipment
when required.

Old Eckardt House, Unionville, Ont., Built of White Pine
—Home of Early Ontario Lumbermen

One of the most interesting and historic houses existing in Canada
to-day is shown in the illustration of a log house, published herewith.
‘This is the old Eckardt home at Unionville, Ont. “Che building 1s con-
structed of white pine timbers and was erected in 1792. It is still
occupied by a family (numbering no less than thirteen), and 1s visited
by large numbers of people from Toronto and elsewhere who are inter-
ested in such a remarkable relic of the early days of Ontario. To lum-
bermen the building is doubly interesting on account of the fact that
it is associated with the early lumbering industry of the province.

The original Eckardt to come to America was one Philip eckardt,
who settled in Philadelphia and came originally from Bruges, in Bel-
sium. He followed his trade as a millwright and carpenter, and built
several saw and grist mills on the Schuylkil River. Philip Eckardt
had three sons—Philip, Abraham, and Gottlieb. ‘The son Philip fol-
lowed his father’s trade as a millwright and carpenter, and moved to
the northwestern part of New York State, up the Genesee Vailey, and
built a number of mills, some being near Lockport, New York. When
at Lockport this Philip Eckardt was approached by a representative ol
the British Government with a proposition that he should form a
colony in Canada. The result was the settlement at Unionville of
some sixty families. Each of these settlers had to have a trade and be
thoroughly conversant with pioneering. The government made them
certain grants of money annually for ten years and gave them a con-
siderable grant of land. These settlers arrived in the fall of 1792, aud
selected the Township of Markham for their land grant. They had a
difficult time at first, as the land had not been surveyed, although the
government had promised them that this would be done in advance.
As a result they put in a trying winter, during which they had to put
up with great hardships in the way of scarcity of food.

Philip Eckardt immediately commenced the construction of saw
and grist mills at Unionville. ‘The sawmill was placed on one side of
the river and the grist mill on the other side. These were known as
the German mills, and the place goes by that name to-day. The mills
were located about 234 miles east of Thornhill and three miles west of
Unionville. Some of the oak timbers of the old mill are still on the
ground at this place and are in a remarkable state of preservation.

The settlers came across Lake Ontario on their way to Canada,
bringing their stock of animals, household belongings, mill machinery,
all in one load, and landed a little way up the Don River, about where
Queen Street now crosses it. The river was a much larger stream in
those days than at present, and the surrounding country was all forest.
Flat-bottom boats were built, and the mill machinery, women, chil-
dren, and furniture were sent up the north branch of the Don to the
site of the mill.
blazing a service road as they went. The British Government formed
a number of colonies of this sort at various points in the present Pro-
vince of Ontario, such as Kingston, Unionville, Dundas, Newark (Fort
Niagara), etc.

A great deal of valuable information regarding the life of these
early pioneers is available, which we regret that we have not space
enough to reproduce. A few more points of interest, however, may be
mentioned. For instance, the debt that the Province of Ontario owes
to such people is in a measure indicated by the fact that they were the
first people to settle and cultivate the land, to establish various lines
of trade and industry, and to lay the foundations of future growth and
prosperity. In connection with the sawmilling industry at Unionville

it is interesting to note that this mill turned out all the timbers and
lumber then used for the erection of houses for the new population.
In the building of houses and public buildings at Little York (now
Toronto), considerable quantities of the product of these mills was
consumed. Of course, the output of a mill in those days was very small
compared with the output of modern mills. It is even said—partly, we
suspect, by way of a joke—that the owner of the mill would start saw-
ing a log and then go home to dinner. Upon his return he would find
the log pretty nearly finished.

It is of further interest to learn that the Eckardt house shown in
the accompanying illustration was the birthplace of a family of no less
than sixteen children, and that all the sons stood six feet and over,
some of them being six feet five inches. The house originally had a
lower and an upper veranda. The holes above the first floor windows
show where the upper veranda beams projected. The interior layout
of the building is also interesting, and indicates the methods of life of
our Ontario forefathers. Nearly all houses built in those days were
On the ground floor there is a large dining-room
and two bedrooms—one for the parents and one for the minister, who
presumably lived with his flock, changing homes from time to time.
The kitchen was generally in an adjoining room, frequently under a
separate roof. The first floor was one large room, and was occupied by
all the girls of the family. The top flat was also a single large room,
and was occupied by all the boys. The lower part of the outside wall
of the Eckardt home has been boarded in, but the old timber construc-
tion still exists behind the boards. ;

Our other illustrations show, one a picture of Mr. A. J. H. Eck-
ardt, to whom we are indebted for the information published above;

ing upon one of the oak timbers of which the sawmill was constructed.
‘The other picture is of another interesting old building in the same
neighborhood, that of Webber’s Hotel, at Hagerman’s Hill, about a
mile and a quarter south of Unionville. This,also is of white pine,

and was built about the same time as the Eckardt homestead.

several limits, but as they did not bring the reserve price, they were
withdrawn.

Resources of the Upper Ottawa

Great as are the better known resources in timber and water
powers of the Lower Ottawa region, comprised within the area drained
below Lake Temiskaming, they do not excel the 10,000 square miles
of undeveloped country in the Upper Ottawa region, extending from
Lake Temiskaming to the Grand Lake Victorian Basin.

Whilst the Lower Ottawa has for generations been pouring out
its wealth of pine timber to the world’s markets the Upper Ottawa has
remained untouched because spruce and not white pine has always
been the predominant forest there. ‘To-day there remains very little
white pine in the Lower Ottawa, or indeed anywhere in Canada.
Spruce there remains in abundance, but in localities where pine has
been so plentiful, as in the Lower Ottawa, the spruce is naturally not

_ growing in such pure luxurious stands as in the regions where pine

has never predominated.

Thus we find to-day the Upper Ottawa Valley, which was never
much of a pine country, a rich virgin spruce forest abounding in
water powers, great and small, and ready to offer up its resources
at a time when the pulp and paper industry is preparing to take a
world lead in Canada.

To anyone who has not cruised inland from the rivers of the
Upper Ottawa the wealth of spruce is unbelievable. Casual observers
of the morbid pessimist class have been known here as elsewhere to
cry calamatiously, like the car window observer, because the whole
timber wealth of the region did not roll out to the river banks for
inspection. - If the natural resources experts want to see timber, and
especially spruce, it is necessary to leave the car window or canoe
and get inland, usually a quarter of a mile at least, for the spring floods

which overflow the banks of rivers and lakes prevent the maturing
of large spruce in any quantity along shore.

ny Besides, winds contri-
bute towards restraining a heavy growth to the water’s edge. And
along railroads the laxity of control in burning right-of-way cuttings

_~ has often been responsible for long strips of burn both sides of the

track. Once inland beyond the influence of these agencies the density
of growth in the north country becomes evident.

In the Upper Ottawa I have found black spruce in thick growth

in areas of over a hundred square miles, which, when followed in their

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 31

more or less irregular outlines, will average 10 to 15 cords per acre.
Some sections of 10 to 25 square miles will yield 20 cords per acre,
and many localities of 100 to 600 acres contain 30 cords per acre on
small sections, the number of black spruce trees of 7 inches upwards
on such sections being as high as 520 to the acre.

The operating facilities of this whole region are particularly
attractive owing to the possibilities of steamboat natvigation in
stretches of 50 to 75 miles on lakes and rivers. The whole region
of some ten thousand square miles can be reached with comparative
ease, and that active operations may soon be looked for in this sec-
tion is quite probable considering that some thirty million cords of -
spruce, exclusive of several million cords of poplar, stand ready for
the axe.

All this wood may be cut, floated down and delivered, for a cost
of $3.50 to $5.00 a cord, at the great water power sites of the Quinze
River, situated near the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway,
and one hundred miles nearer markets than pulp and paper mills now
operating with eminent success.

In a distance of fifteen miles from Quinze Lake to Lake Temis-
kaming the Ottawa (or.Quinze) River can develop powers aggregat-
ing 250,000 h.p. up. Besides this, several other water powers farther
up the main Ottawa can develop 5,000 to 20,000 horse-power each.—
R. O. Sweezey,.in the Canadian Forestry Journal.

Southern Pine Manufacturers Expect a Prosperous Year

One of the Southern pine manufacturing firms, in a recent letter
to its salesmen advising them of an advance of $1 per thousand feet,
to go into effect at once, expresses the conviction that 1917 will be an
ceedingly active and successful year for the Southern pine industry.
In order to account for these assertions the company gives the follow-
ing reasons:

“First—Decreased lumber outputs:

“(a) Owing to the scarcity of labor in the North, many manu-
facturers have stopped the operations of their plants, and we are reli-
ably informed that, on account of the scarcity of labor, the logging
averations of many Northern manufacturers will be so crippled during
the winter that there will be enforced curtailment during the entire
year of 1917.

“(b) The present car shortage is also forcing a curtailment in lum-
ber production throughout the South and Northwest. Many manufac-
turers have, from necessity, been forced to shut down, while most of
the larger ones are pursuing a policy of curtailment necessitated by
their inability to secure equipment necessary to take care of their out- —
put. :

“Second—High prices of competitive materials:

“The high price levels reached during the past year by steel,
cement, and other substitute materials have forced the use of Southern
pine for structural purposes so that the interior demand for lumber is
unprecedented. This will, without doubt, result to our benefit fo-
years to come, as an opportunity has been afforded to put the pioper

. grade of select structural material to test which will prove convine-

ingly that heavy wood construction is economical, practical, and last-
ing.

“Third—Present prosperity of country at large:

“The present prosperity of the country guarantees civic business
and individual improvement and expansion. Railroad earnings are
such that carriers are now in a financial condition which will permit
of immediate necessary improvements, increased terminal facilities,
and increased equipment. Within the last week the Michigan Central
Railroad has placed orders for 6,750 cars, approximating an expendi-
ture of $9,000,000. The Great Northern Railway has also come into
the market for 2,000 all-wood box cars. These are only two of the
signs indicating that the railroads, the largest consumers of lumber,
are again becoming active purchasers and consumers. Ship yards
which have lain dormant for years are now running to full capacity,
and have firm business in hand to take care of their output for the next
year and a half to two years.”

The determination of the Quebec Government to prevent the care-
less setting of fires in the forest was illustrated at Mont Laurier re-
cently, when Judge C. B. Major inflicted fines and imprisonment on
tour settlers who had defied the permit law requiring them to obtain
a written permit before burning their slash. Fines of $30 and costs,
$25 and costs, and $25 and costs, or terms of 24 days and 15 days’
tmprisonment, were imposed upon three settlers, who chose to pay
their fines. In the fourth case a fine of $25, or 15 days in jail, was
imposed, andthe settler chose the term in jail. These prosecutions
were all commenced by the Lower Ottawa Forest Protective Associa-
tion. .

The 230th Forestry Battalion, which is now comfortably located
in winter quarters at Brockville, Ont., is receiving new recruits daily
from all parts of the country. This battalion will be sent to France to
cut lumber, and will relieve soldiers now engaged in similar work, thus
permitting them to go to the front. The 230th will not be sent to the
firing line.

Coal Tar Creosote Penetration of Douglas Fir Secured by Special Methods

Without Injuring Strength of Timber
By O. P. M. Goss*

The creosoting of Douglas fir on the Pacific Coast has been prac-
tised for more than twenty-four years, and has proven an unquesuoned
success. Douglas fir is a difficult wood to creosote, and for this reason
it has been necessary to give it special study in order to get the results
which are possible to-day. It has been necessary in treating this wood
to modify methods of treatment which have been successfully used
throughout the eastern portion of the United States.

Both the boiling and steaming processes have been used in cre-
osoting the various forms of Douglas fir. These methods have given
excellent results in the treatment of piling and other forms, in which
a loss in strength of the wood of from 30 to 40 per cent., due to the
treatment, is not objectionable. The greatest objection to these treat-
ments has been the loss in strength which they have caused when

treating such forms as bridge stringers, ties, or other similar forms in .

which it was necessary to retain practically the full strength of the
wood after treatment. ‘

The United States Government began a series of tests about nine
years ago to determine the effect on the strength of creosoting Doug-
las fir bridge stringers by the boiling and steaming process. Results
of these tests are published in United States Department of Agricul-
ture Bulletin No. 286, and show that the loss in strength in these
forms, due to these treatments, ranged from 33 to 35 per cent., based
on the modulus of rupture.

It is well known among those familiar with Douglas fir that it is a
structural timber of the very highest merit. It has been used for con-
struction work for practically every conceivable class of construction,
and, because of its wide application, it iseparticularly desirable to
develop processes of creosoting which are thoroughly effective and
which do not cause any material loss in the strength of the wood.

The tests above referred to, which were made by the United
States Government, showed the necessity for concentrated study on
the subject of creosoting Douglas fir. This matter was taken up by
the Association of Creosoting Companies of the Pacific Coast and by
the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, and a large amount of
experimental work has been conducted in an effort to develop the most
satisfactory treatment for this timber. Acknowledgement is made of
the co-operation given in this work by the Forests Products Labora-
tory, Madison, Wisconsin, and the Seattle Timber Testing Laboratory,
both of the United States Forest Service and the University of Wash-
ington, Seattle, Washington.

High Temperatures Injurious to Strength.

Results of past experiments have indicated that the application of
high temperatures was unquestionably one of the causes for the loss in
strength in creosoting Douglas fir. In the application of the old boil-
ing process the temperatures commonly ranged from 230 degrees F.
to as high as 260 degrees F., and the seasoning period lasted approxi-
mately 24 to 36 hours. The application of these high temperatures for
such long periods of time was unquestionably injurious to the strength
of the timber. Briefly, the old boiling process was applied about as
follows:

“The timbers were placed in the retort in a green condition and
boiled in creosote oil under atmospheric pressure for 22 or more hours,
at a temperature ranging from 230 to 260 degrees F. This boiling
period was used to season the timber and properly prepare it for
receiving the oil. When the boiling period was completed, pressure
was applied, rising from zero to as high as 145 to 185 pounds per
square inch. The pressure was continued over a period of four to six
hours, at a temperature of approximately 200 to 230 degrees IF. By
this method 10 to 14 pounds of oil per cubic foot was injected into the
wood.” =

The steaming process of creosoting requires higher temperatures
than the boiling process, but they are applied for a shorter length of
time. The following description gives some idea regarding the vari-
ous operations involved in creosoting Douglas fir by the steaming
process:

“The timbers were placed in the retort in a thoroughly green con-
dition and steamed at a pressure of approximately 90 pounds per
square inch for a period of four to seven hours, at a temperature rang-
’ ing from 325 degrees to 335 degrees Fahrenheit. A vacuum of approxi-
mately 20 inches was then applied for 18 to 20 hours while the tem-
perature ranged above 220 degrees Fahrenheit. At the end of the
vacuum period creosote oil was introduced and pressure applied, rang-
ing from zero to 160 pounds per square inch. This pressing period.
continued for two to four hours, at a temperature of approximately 208
degrees Fahrenheit. By this method 10 to 14 pounds of oil per cubic
foot was injected into the timber.”

Preservation of Fir Stringers and Ties

In both the boiling and steaming processes the temperature:
applied are high enough to injure to some extent the fibre of the wood
‘hese processes when applied to piling or other forms in which som
loss in strength is permissible have given good results where t
treatments have been applied in accordance with the best practice.
such forms, however, as ties and bridge stringers, in which it is 1
sary, in order to get the best service from the timber, that it
practically its full strength, these processes have not proven enti
satisfactory. Because of this fact special efforts have been made
order to develop a treatment which would be effective and whi
would not prove detrimental to the strength of the timber.

Boiling Under a Vacuum. ; G.

Experiments were made on material creosoted by the Barr
cess, which involves heating the timber in a partial vacuum |
purpose of seasoning before the oil is introduced into the cyl
This treatment did not involve the use of high temperatures, and
sequently resulted in but a very slight loss in strength of the timbs
It did not seem, however, to prove effective in uniformly seasonin;
large charge of material. Apparently the transmission of
through the partial vacuum was not effective, and the results in
eral seemed to indicate an ununiform seasoning of material.
material which was placed adjacent to the heating surface was ur
ally well seasoned and received a good oil penetration, but that
from the centre of the charge would not seem to receive anything
the same degree of seasoning. These experiments indicated that
medium used for transmitting the heat as would naturally be expec
was not effective. The next logical step seemed to be to season

and to introduce some medium which would transmit the heat di
to all surfaces of the material being treated. In an effort to acc
plish this result the boiling under a vacuum treatment was app
‘This treatment is a slight modification of the old “Boulton Process,”
and has given excellent results in the treatment of bridge stringers or
other heavy timbers subjected to cross-bending tests. This me
has for some time been practised by the Colman Creosoting Compar
of Seattle, the only difference being that the boiling was done under a
low vacuum of 10 to 12-inches, which is less effective than the higher
vacuum. This treatment is now applied at the various plants on tl
Pacific Coast about as described below: Le ee ia
Boiling Under a Vacuum Process.—The timbers are placed in t
retort and creosote oil introduced at a temperature of 160 to 1
degrees F. Heat is applied and the temperature of the oil gradua
raised to 190 degrees and held at this temperature for from five to s
hours, a sufficient length of time to warm the timbers through. Wh
the timbers are thoroughly warmed a vacuum of 24 to 27 inche
drawn on the oil, still maintaining a temperature of 190 degrees
This vacuum is drawn through an overhead pipe extending from
top of the retort 36 feet vertically into the air and returning to tl
condenser. The purpose of this pipe is to prevent the creosote oil
from boiling over into the condenser during the vacuum period. This
vacuum is started at approximately 18 inches and, as the timber
sons, is gradually raised to 24 to 27 ins. The full period of vacuum i
to 16 hours. It is continued until the rate of seasoning of the timb
1/10 of a pound of water per cubic foot of wood per hour.. After
finished rate of seasoning is reached the vacuum is broken and pressu

on the oil started, which rises as high as 120 to 135 pounds per square
inch and continues over a period of four to six hours. The tempera-
_ture of the oil during this pressure period drops from 190 to 180
degrees F. By this process 10 to 14 pounds of oil per cubic foot may
be pressed into the wood.”

Bridge Stringers.—In order to test out the efficiency of creosoting
by the boiling under a vacuum method two shipments of green bridge
stringers were selected and creosoted in four different charges. These
' stringers were shipped to the Bureau of Standards, City of Portland,
for test. The stringers were selected in long lengths and were cut in
the centre, one half being creosoted and the other half tested in its
natural condition. The two halves of the stringers were as nearly
equal in quality as it was possible to obtain. The results showed
practically no loss in strength in the creosoted material.

Railway Ties—The large volume of lumber used for railroad ties
has seemed to warrant a very~careful study of this subject. Accord-
ingly, the lumber and creosoting associations have devoted consider-
able study to this subject, and have made a large number of experi-
nents, both independent and in co-operation with some of the rail-
roads, in an effort to develop the most satisfactory method of prepar-
ing and creosoting Douglas fir ties.

An untreated tie in the track is serviceable only up to the time
when it develops weaknesses due to decay. From this time on it
becomes worthless very quickly. This is largely due to the fact that
a tie in the track is subjected to very heavy stress under normal traffic
in compression perpendicular to the grain. The mechanical life of a
Douglas fire tie untreated is probably at least fifteen years under nor-
nial railroad traffic. Such ties, however, in service last only six or
seven years, due to decay, which eventually entirely destroys the tie.
Douglas fir has the required strength to give long life in the roadbed
when used as a tie, provided it is possible to prevent the development
of decay. The experiments which have been made to date have aimed

at two principle objects:

Machine designed to perforate Douglas fir railway ties before
3 creosote treatment. °

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 33

1. To prolong the natural life of Douglas fir ties by preservative
(reatment.

2. To apply the preservative treatment effectively without mater-
ial injury to the wood fibre.

If the above points are accomplished it is certain that a greatly
increased length of life will result from the use of Douglas fir ties.

Perforation of Railway Ties.

In investigating this subject an effort has been made to take
advantage of the fact that creosote oil enters wood along the fibre
with very much greater ease than in any other direction. The idea
was, therefore, conceived by the writer to perforate the timber to pro-
vide a means of controlling the distribution of the creosote oil. This
same thought had come to others, and Mr. B. Kuckuck made some
tentative experiments in co-operation with the St. Helens Creosoting
Company, of Portland, Oregon, about’ 1913. The perforations used
were made by means of a drill, which bored a small hole about 1/16
inch in diameter.

It has been found that more satisfactory perforations may be
made by punching the holes rather than boring, and by making per-
forations at short intervals it is possible to get a thorough penetration
of oil in the timber equal to the depth of the holes without subjecting
it to a severe treatment. A tool which seems to give good results is
shaped as shown in Fig. 1. It seems necessary to cut the fibre of the
wood in order to get complete distribution of oil with a mild treat-
ment.

A machine was designed and built by the Columbia Creosoting
Company, of Portland, Oregon, for perforating ties. This machine
runs at a speed of about 70 per minute, and will perforate ties as rapidly
as it is possible for laborers to handle them. The vertical rolls per-
forate the sides and the horizontal rolls the top and bottom faces. (See
illustration.) The ties should, of course, be bored for spikes before
treatment.

A good spacing for the perforations arranges them so that it is
only necessary for the creosote to pass along the grain a distance of
3% inches and across the grain about 1/16 of an inch from each per-
foration in order to give complete penetration on all faces of the tie to
a depth equal to that of the perforations. The size of the perforations
is approximately % inch across the grain.

The question as to the effect of perforating upon the strength of
the wood came up immediately for considcration. For the purpose of
securing reliable data on this subject strength tests were made on ties
in both the natural and treated condition.

Thirty-one air-seasoned ties were selected for carrying out these
experiments. The ties were of the ordinary grade, and were selected
so that all tests were made on clear material and in such manner as to
eliminate entirely the influence of defects. These ties were all tested
in compression perpendicular to the grain. A steel plate 6 in. x 10 in.,
1 in. thick, was placed across the face of the tie, covering an area equal
to 60 square inches.

A section three feet long was cut off one end of each tie and tested
in a natural condition. One half of the remaining section was per-
forated to a depth of three-fourths of an inch on all faces, in accord-
ance with the spacing referred to above. This six-foot section was
then placed in the retort and the following creosote treatment was
applied:

The ties were heated in creosote oil under atmospheric pressure
at 170 degrees F. for four hours. Approximately 100 pounds pressure
per square inch was applied on the oil for three hours, at a tempera-
ture of 170 degrees F., after which the oil was drained off and a final
vacuum of approximately 24 inches was drawn for one-half hour.

After treatment the ties were tested by the writer. These tests
showed that there was no loss in strength, due to the creosote treat-
ment, as shown by the average results, and also that the perforations
made in the ties before treatment had no detrimental effect upon the
strength. Fig. 2 shows the effectiveness of the perforations in secur-
ing uniform distribution of oil-in three of the ties. Perforated sections
show a uniform penetration to a depth slightly deeper than the depth
of perforations, while the unperforated sections show very slight and
ununiform penetration in comparison. These results indicate the pos-
sibility of gaining marked increased efficiency in the use of railway
ties when creosoted by the method above indicated. The principal
reason for the fact that no loss in strength occurred is that by means of
the perforations it is possible to secure an effective penetration and
distribution of the oil without the use of a severe heat or pressure
treatment. :

A good method for preparing railroad ties of Douglas fir is as fol-
lows:

Cut ties in winter and early spring. Perforate and openpile for
air-seasoning, taking advantage of the summer months. The ties may
then be creosoted in the early fall and winter or at any later date.
Handling ties in this way will insure an absolute protection against
decay, and will enable the wood to be creosoted without loss in
mechanical strength. These two points will insure the greatest value
possible in the way of service from this form of material.

Ontario.

The lumber trade in Ontario continues to show encouraging 1m-
provement. Reports to this effect are received from all quarters—
manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers—and the only drawback at
present is the difficulty in obtaining stocks, resulting from two principal
causes—first, the shortage of labor at the mills, and, second, the diffi-
culty in making shipment as a result of labor scarcity for loading and
unloading cars. For a time this situation led to an embargo upon C.E is,
shipments to Toronto, and no car lot shipments were made during the
first two weeks in November. This embrgo, however, was subse-
quently raised, and shipments are again being made. Shipments of
stock from Uinted States points into Ontario are very light, on account
of the great scarcity of cars existing across the border.

In Ontario the improvement covers practically all lines. Hem-
lock manufacturers are asking $19 to $20 for No. 1 hemlock, good size,
and $21 is being suggested. Delivered at Toronto, the prices would be
about $21.50 to $22. - This brings the price of hemlock to a level where
it may find considerable competition from Southern yellow pine, which
is offered, delivered at Toronto, at $21.75 to $23.

Further reports which we have received from manufacturing
points corroborate the opinion already expressed that from now on we
may look forward to a continually increasing shortage of stocks at
mill points, Which is certain to result in higher prices between now
and next spring if the demand continues at all active. The improve-
ment during the past month has been the result of retailers becoming
convinced that the market is definitely on the upward trend and that
they will be saving money by buying at present. This has brought
about an extensive buying movement, which is likely to continue until
the end of the year, when a falling off in the demand may be expected.
The trade will then probably continue on a more or less quiet basis
until the spring demand makes itself felt. The situation, then, is one
which it is impossible to foretell at present, but it is quite safe to count
upon a shortage of stocks and firm or high prices throughout the first
half of next year, until new stock is ready for the market. These con-
ditions apply to everything that is produced in the lumber line in
Ontario.

There is practically no change to report in the hardwood situation.
Canadian stocks are firmly held and are light. American hardwoods
are in much the same condition, and the prospects for obtaining further
supplies with any regularity are poor, on account of the car shortage.
Ontario exporters to Great Britain report that the freight market is
again advancing. Very little space is offering, and shipping companies
are now asking 325 shillings per standard.

Ottawa manufacturers report that trade is more active than it has
been for some time past. The building situation in Ottawa has also
shown improvement, several large buildings having been started re-
cently. The export trade is very quiet. Logging operators are having
continued trouble in regard to securing men for the woods, although
they are offering higher wages than ever before.

Eastern Canada.

The steamer shipping season from St. John, N.B., is.now com-
mencing, several steamers being due for cargoes for the allied govern-
ments. It is expected that large quantities will be sent forward this
winter, extensive sales having taken place. Prices continue firm. St.
John stocks are not very heavy, as some of the mills were idle nearly
all summer and others only ran for part of the summer. About
20,000,000 feet of deals are on the wharves at St. John and much of
this is long stock for the American market. Practically all the St.
John mills will be closed down within the next few days. Stocks of
logs carried over will be light, only about 15,000,000 feet. Men are
very scarce for logging operations in the bush. Many operators are
putting in portable plants and sawing their logs in the woods. Stocks
of spruce boards, planks, and narrow widths are practically off the
market. There is a good enquiry from United States and Ontario’
points, the latter being mostly for shell box material. Lath are very
strong, and are selling at New York to-day at $4.50, and $5 is expected
before long. Nearly all shingles at St. John have been cleaned up.

New contracts for shell boxes have been received by a number of
Montreal firms, most of the contracts being in the neighborhood of
40,000 boxes each. The building trade has been improving consider-
ably, a number of important contracts having been let, both in Mont-
real and outside points. Many lines of lumber are very scarce, and
the shortage of cars is making it difficult to obtain sufficient stocks.
~The improved demand has stiffened nearly all prices, and further
advance is expected. Improvement is also reported in the United
States trade, and it is expected that this will continue.

also been improvement in the demand for first and seconds. St
Canadian pine in Great Britain are low, and anything like a
demand would cause a serious drain upon them, especially in
the fact that stocks in Canada are also low and the cut is not ex |
to be large. The situation, together with the advancing freight r
makes English holders of pine feel well satisfied. There is also a ¢
demand for birch planks, and prices have advanced. Birch logs,
ever, are not in much demand at London. Stocks of rock elm i
Britain are low, and there is a good demand in most parts of th
try. Generally speaking, the spot market at London has not
much alteration, but deliveries are up to the average, and the
is steady and fairly strong. Values are showing a tendency to ad
in all directions. ; arse

There is a strong demand for boards, both planed and unp! a
and arrivals have been reported regularly in spite of the large nui
of vessels that have been sunk. There is a marked shortage o
battens, and flooring boards, but stocks of unplaned boards are

demand is reported from practically every quarter, manufacturers are
still hampered by the great scarcity of cars. The whole outlook for
the lumber trade is promising, so soon as the car shortage situation
shows improvement. The Southern pine situation continues very
strong, and the recent advance of Sila thousand in the price has been
easily maintained. The chief factors in this situation are a steadily
increasing demand and the determination of manufacturers to keep
their production well down. Since the first of November some of the
larger manufacturers have notified their salesmen of three successive
advances in price, all of which have been well maintained. Manufac-
turers. are now confidently expecting that the trade will continue
strong at least for the balance of the year.

Reports from the West Coast show continued curtailment of pro-
duction, the extent being 12.34 per cent. The Pacific Northwest is
feeling the car shortage more severely than other parts of the country.
The demand continues good, nd increased orders are reported from

Market Correspondence

Strong Demand for St. John Stocks

St. John, N.B., November 24.—(Special to the Canada Lumber-
man.)—The movement of lumber at the Port of St. John has not as:
yet commenced, although the next few days will see the beginning, as
some steamers are now due for cargoes for the allied governments. No
doubt large quantities will be sent forward during the winter, as large
sales have taken place. Prices for present and future deliveries remain
very firm, without any weakening influence, so far as can be seen at
the present. Stocks are not heavy at St. John, many mills having been
idle nearly all summer and others only running a short season. There
are probably not over 20,000,000 feet of deals on the wharves at ot.
John, included in which are many deals sawn for the American rmarket,
but which are of sizes that can be diverted into the English market.
A goodly quantity of these long American deals have been sold at very
high prices, going to the allies for trench and sundry war material.

No sales for next season have taken place within the last two
weeks, as a great many of the mills sold some time ago. Within the
next two weeks all the mills at St. John will be idle. No large stocks
of logs will be wintered. Probably in the vicinity of 15,000,000 feet
will be carried over, a good many of which are double-length logs.
Logging is now in full swing all over the provinces. Men are ex-
tremely scarce, wages being little inducement to get them to go to the
woods. Any person who can get a portable mill is planning to saw
the logs right in the woods and haul out the sawn timber; but even
though many are planning cuts, unless labor can be found, the cut will
no doubt be below normal. While the operators are crying out that
logs will cost more, it is almost impossible to say at this date what the
extra price will be.

No stocks of spruce boards, planks, or narrow widths are avyail-
able. Inquiries are coming very freely from the American market
and also from Ontario points. Large quantities of shell box orders are
held by Upper Canadian concerns, who are looking around for sup-
plies, but unable to find them at any price.

The base price on the Boston market is steadily improving, and
before many days will have reached $30 per M., and that may not be
the high point. Random is being sold at from $26 to $27 per M., f.o.b.
Boston points. New York is fully as good as Boston.

Vessels for coastwise business are extremely scarce, and therefore
little movement is taking place coastwise.

Laths are improving steadily and, if freights could be had, large
quantities would move out. The price to-day is $4.50, New York, and
will no doubt reach $5 before long, which will be an unprecedented
price. Shingles have all been cleaned up at St. John. Only a few ex.
No. 1 remain.

Further Improvement in Montreal Trade

Montreal, November 25.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)-—
The placing of several new contracts for shell boxes has helped to
maintain the improvement in the lumber trade. The contracts, as a
rule, run to about 40,000 boxes for each firm, at varying- prices, and the
orders are well distributed. There is also a much better demand by
contractors, who have lately secured large contracts for Montreal and
more particularly for outside points. A considerable amount of buy-
ing for these jobs has been done in the city. Ammunition plants and
extensions to industrial plants figure conspicuously in the new work.
Building is particularly active in the province, and this has also been
a factor in the situation. in Pe

There is, however, a continued scarcity of certain lines of lumber,

numerous quarters. Although stocks at mill points have increased on |
account of the car shortage, most of the unshipped product is well ©
covered by orders. The extensive shipbuilding developments in the —
Western States and British Columbia give promise of early relief
from the shortage of vessels for shipment by water. At present there —
are 53 wooden vessels under construction at Pacific Coast points, —
which are consuming approximately 106,000,000 feet of lumber, and
contracts have been let for 11 others. 3
In the hardwood markets improvement is reported in the demand
for oak, both plain and quartered, and prices have advanced. There
has, in fact, been a general improvement in the hardwood situation.
There is a strong demand for mixed stock in all Northern hardwoods,
and stocks at mill points are being reduced. Maple and elm have been”
affected strongly by this situation, and considerable advances in price
have been the result. Piano and automobile industries are buy
large quantities of maple and elm. The trade in basswood continues
quite active, and there is also a satisfactory movement of birch,

and many enquiries addressed to the mills bring answers to the «
that there are no such sizes available, or that they are sold out
stocks. This condition is aggravated by the small supply of cars
points where lumber is obtainable. Quotations have advanced und
the stimulus of the better demand, and it looks as if they will go
higher. Manufacturers are asking more money in the new con
now being made, and one large firm states that the cost of prod
pine lumber will run into about four dollars, per 1,000 feet, due

with indications that a much higher level will be reached. ae
Pulp and paper conditions are unchanged. The demand is as
brisk as ever, and contracts have been entered into for very lar
amounts for next year—one company has sold practically all its sul- —
phite output in 1917 at exceptionally good prices. The ground wood ~
position is still good. Next year will witness a substantial additi

extensions to existing plants are now in the course of erection. —
Wayagamack Company is adding to its pulp mill. The price of pu
wood has, in consequence of the increased demand, advanced so much
that some lumber manufacturers have decided in 1917 to devote. the
energies to this branch of the industry and to cease sawing logs.

Ottawa Trade Improving

Ottawa, November 25.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman.)—
More business has been done this month by the lumber manufacture
of Ottawa than during all summer and fall. Manufacturers all ha
the same story—all are busy. Li ae

Within the last month contracts aggregating about $100,000 hay
been divided among local manufacturers for shell boxes. These
mostly made of pine and spruce, and the mills have had a great run on
these two varieties. This work has caused most of the increased busi
ness. F ‘
Another factor contributing to better business is that sev
large buildings have been started in Ottawa, and the demand
material has caused the manufacturers to be fairly busy getting it ov
The local demand otherwise, however, is quiet. : ;

There is very little export trade in progress. It is difficult to
secure space, and freight rates are also unusually high.

Operations in the camps are well under way. It is becoming very
difficult to get men, although thescale of wages was never higher.
Prices of lumber continue to advance, particularly pine and
spruce. ie

London Market Keport

Churchill & Sim, London, Eng., in their monthly wood circular,
under date of November 3rd, report as follows: Deliveries from stock
during the month of October did not greatly differ in quantity when
compared with those of October last year, but there is a decrease of
some 6,000 standards in the overside total. The aggregate stock of
softwoods is some 3,000 standards less than that of October, 1915. The
market has shown consistent improvement during the month, and this
applies to all sizes of wood used in the building and casemaking trades.
Swedish and Norwegian shippers sent increased quantities, but the
Russian supply was smaller, while the importation from Canada
showed a very great falling off as regards London. A very large busi-
ness has been arranged from the northern ports, especially from
Sweden, for late autumn and early winter shipment, and prices have
been enhanced by the dearness of tonnage and the dangers to which
neutral shipping has been lately exposed.

The importation to date has about kept pace with that of last
season, but fewer floorings have come to hand, and the stock of them
in London is smaller than usual. A large business has been put
through in Swedish productions during the month, especially to Lon-
don, where prices have again been higher. Values for all sizes,-espe-
cially scantlings, were upon the up grade, the demand showing itself
capable of taking up whatever shippers were able to supply upon a
delivered basis of payment. Stock-notes towards the end of the month
were getting depleted of the sizes most currently in demand, and for
the present there seems to be no check to a continuation of present
conditions.

From the St. Lawrence has been imported: Pine deals 276,000
pieces, against 415,000 pieces in 1915; spruce deals 1,089,000 pieces,
against 1,785,000 pieces in 1915; birch planks 132,000 pieces, against
284,000 pieces in 1915. And from New Brunswick, etc.: Pine deals,
32,000 pieces, against 65,000 pieces in 1915; spruce deals 572,000 pieces,
against 1,790,000 pieces in 1915; birch planks 44,000 pieces, against
314,000 pieces in 1915. ,

There has been a notable reduction in the supply of both pine and
spruce from Canada during the year, and values are consequently
tending gradually upwards. The quantities available from the lower
ports also show a great falling off, but spruce prices were slow to
recover after the fall in July, and only recently have been showing
signs of improvement now that it is realized that there is likely to be
no surplus quantity in the country for the requirements of the winter.

Liverpool Spruce Market More Active

Smith & Tyrer, Ltd., Liverpool, Eng., in their monthly trade cir-
cular, under date of November lst, report as follows: There is more
activity in most directions, and the general situation is more satisfac-
tory and promising. The shortage of labor, owing to the war, is
bound to have its influence on the situation. Hardwoods are with-
out change. Spruce deals—Unsold cargoes are now very limited in
number, and there is a more active competition for those available.
The consumption has been disappointing. Prices are firmer, and are
likely to advance during the winter months. Hemlock has been in
better demand, but only at low prices. Birch has been difficult, owing
to the import restrictions, but an improved demand was experienced.
Pine is unchanged. Pacific Coast woods—There is an active demand
for clear spruce, and considerable business is reported, but other de-
scriptions have been on the quiet side.

Liverpool Market Report

Alfred Dobell & Co., Liverpool, Eng., in their monthly timber
market report, under date of November lst, say: Spruce deals—There
has been no set-back in the improvement, which is well maintained
and likely to progress, notwithstanding that stocks have the appear-
ance of being ample.

Douglas fir has arrived in very limited quantities. There has
been very little demand for clear planks or squares, but merchantable
logs 50 feet long and up are wanted, as these lengths are practically
exhausted. Prices are firm, and the difficulty in securing freight room
continues.

Barbados Market Report
S. P. Musson, Son & Company, Barbados, B.W.I., report under
recent date as follows: Lumberstuffs—There have been no arrivals of
either white pine or spruce during the fortnight. There is some

enquiry for the former for future shipment, but sufficient sales of the

~sold by the Link-Belt Company, Chicago, Ill., whose products

latter have been made to supply the market for some time. Shingles— __
Gaspe are wanted, and could sell to advantage.. Cedar laying —Large
sales have been made for prompt shipment, and we do not think there
will be any opening for further quantities for the present. Shooks—
We note the arrival of a small parcel for dealer’s account. Wood
hoods.—No receipts.

Type A Edgers—Canadian Allis-Chalmers, Limited

Canadian Allis-Chalmers, Limited, have issued a new bulleti Be
No. 1723, describing their Type A. Edgers. These edgers are the
present form of the original Allis heavy timber edgers, having a one-
piece solid cast frame containing all the bearings for the arbor and
feed rolls. The designation “Type A” has been adopted in order to
distinguish them from their other designs. Cie ea

Before the introduction of these machines all edgers were too —
light, their frames not having sufficient stiffness to hold the high —
speed arbors in line and provide a rigid support for the saw shif “a
In this design it was their aim: first—to provide a single bed plate or
frame to support all arbor and feed roll bearings, stiff enough to
keep these parts in line and running cool whether the frame was sup-
ported properly on the mill floor or not; and second—to provide shift
ing mechanism of the most simple, rigid, accurate and convenient type.
How well this has been accomplished is indicated by the excellen:
record of these edgers for quantity and accuracy of lumber producec
and by their acknowledged popularity in the estimation of sawmi
operators. ? ’ Bi:

manufacture of wooden barrels and other packages,
for staves and heads, and other material required,
reauired, labor necessary, and the prices obtained for the finished product?
If you can give us any information on these points, or put us in touch with
anyone who can, we will appreciate it very n uch.—Colonial Lumber Com-
pany, Antigonish, N.S.

A bulletin on the “Wood-using Industries of the Maritime Pro-
vinces,” published by the Forestry Branch of the Department of the
‘Interior, shortly before the war, contains the following information:
The manufacture of barrel stock is the fourth most important industry
in the Maritime Provinces. Reports received from cooperages in 1912
gave the following figures for the Maritime Provinces: Slack staves,
39,939,000; slack heading, 2,746,062 sets; slack hoops, 6,227,900; tight
staves, sawn, 1,389,083; tight staves, bucked and split, 12,000; tight
heading, sawn, 177,113 sets.

[eleven woods are reported as being used in this industry, and all
these but willow were used in making slack staves, although spruce,
balsam, fir, birch, pine, and poplar in the order named were used in
ereatest quantity. Every one of the eleven woods was used for slack
heading, with spruce, balsam fir, pine, ash, poplar, and elm leading in
the order named. Almost 90 per cent. of the hoops are mdde of spruce
and birch in about equal quantities. Elm, poplar, maple, ash, and
beech are also used, and small quantities of alder were reported.
Many of these woods are used for “half round” hoops, and the con-
sumption of wood for this purpose is difficult to estimate in board
feet. Spruce, birch, balsam fir, white pine, oak, and beech are used for
sawn tight staves; balsam fir, spruce, and oak for “bucked and split”
tight staves; and spruce, whité pine, balsam fir, birch, and oak for
sawn tight heading. :

Wood for staves should be as tough and stiff as possible, although
for slack cooperage great strength is not required so much as in the
case of tight cooperage, where the slightest failure of a stave would
mean the loss of the contents of the barrel... Heading woods do not
require toughness, but only stiffness and the quality of holding their
shape. Wood for hoops must be tough. Apart from these qualities,
cooperage woods are chosen chiefly on account of cheapness and
abundance, although clear stock is imperative for tight cooperage and
‘very desirable for slack staves. Slack heading is often made of knotty
material.

The material for this industry is all purchased in the form of logs
and sawn into cooperage stock. Firms who purchase manufactured
stock and merely assemble barrels are not included. The average price
paid for raw material was $18.71, which is only 69c above the general
average for all industries. The wood was all purchased in the Mari-
time Provinces.

The cooperages purchased more elm than all the other industries
combined. They paid the highest prices reported for balsam fir, birch,
poplar, beech, and hemlock.

Further information regarding this subject is being obtained, and
will be published later. Readers of the Canada Lumberman who can
send us information regarding machinery and tools required, labor
necessary, etc., are requested to communicate with.us, so that we may
furnish as complete information as possible to the enquirers.

L. B. Beale Back in Toronto

L. B. Beale, British Columbia Lumber Commissioner at Toronto,
has returned from a visit of several months to the Pacific Coast. While
in British Columbia Mr. Beale visited practically all tie large lumber
manufacturing plants of that province, and he reports that business
conditions are showing remarkable improvement. In fact, all the
manufacturers are encouraged in regard to the outlook, and are pre-
dicting a prosperous year during 1917.

British Columbia’s 1916 Fire Season

The fire season of 1916 in British Columbia has been a rather
exceptional one. Until the last week of July the weather was favor-
able and there were no fires in the Vancouver and Island forest dis-
tricts. About the end of July a long drought set in which was not
broken until October 28th. During this period the fire hazard was
greatly intensified. The fire fighting expense in the Vancouver and
Island forest district was about $7,500, which is about one-half the
amount spent in 1915. The area burned over in these two districts
covered 10,000 acres, compared with 140,729 acres in 1915. Included
in the area burned this season there were 300 acres of merchantable
timber and 8,648 acres of logging slash. The damage done last year
amounted to $85,000. This year’s damage was only $10,505. The
total damage amounted to 1,135,000 feet of merchantable timber dur-
ing 1916, of which about one-half will be logged without much loss.
During 1915 the damage amounted to 73,000,000 feet, of which 43,-
000,000 feet was reckoned as salvable.

‘x

We are expecting to put out a fair stock of logs in connection with our ‘
New Ontario operations during this winter. Labor, however, with us, is ”
scarce, and may be the means of curtailing the amount we had planned to ~
put out. However, it is our intention to put out what logs we are able to. “
Stock we put out last year was comparatively light. The outlook for the —
coming year is very favorable—much better than it was a year ago —W. K. —

Conditions affecting the log crop in this locality are such as to rende
it impossible to give anything more than a guess as to the amount that will
be taken out. As for ourselves it is not the amount we will take out that hz
to be considered, but the amount we can get taken out, in view of the high

cost, and particularly in view of the scarcity of labor. -

We hope to get about 4,000,000 feet of hardwood and softwood, sufficient
for the season’s cut, but we are prepared to be disappointed and have to be

We expect to take out during the coming winter about four million feet

basswood and elm, and 250,000 feet of white pine. This will be more 1
double the stock we took out during 1915-16, but the cost of producing
stock we feel satisfied will be fifty per cent. more than in 1915-16. Wage
provisions are fully fifty per cent. higher than at the same period last
The men are not better, and in fact, it is more difficult to get the full g
of good bush men*than it has ever been in the past.

Lumber Retailers Ought to Boost Their Stock — a a
The state of mind which leads a lumber dealer to depreciate to
the public the value of the product from which he makes his living .
is beyond comprehension. Attention has recently been called to the
remarks of a city dealer, in which he is quoted as having said that
“Lumber now is often of a lower grade, some of the second growth ;
being used. Practically the same prices exist.” ete i, Oe
We have always maintained the fact that lumber is as good to-
day as it ever was and in some cases even better if the right lumber is —
used in the right place. The different lumber associations are spen
ing huge sums of money to promote the use of lumber, and they are __
entitled to the support of the lumber yards. Every retail lumber ‘
dealer should put his shoulder to the wheel to help this good work; _
they should help to build up and not try to tear down, as above indi
cated. We all know that lumber is abused enough by others, with-
out adding abuse from our own dealers. They (the 7 ee
realize that if the general use of lumber can be increased 25 per cent.
in the community it will mean more business for them at fair price
The trouble with the local: conditions tqday is that there is ne
enough business to go around, and if business can be increased and |
give everybody a fair share it will surely have a tendency to tmprove Ng
the lumber yard trade. For this reason alone every retail oe
yard dealer should be a booster of lumber, and not be a knocker by
telling the public that lumber is poorer than it was years ago.—E. .

AUETIM,

Paid for themselves the first year,
is the report the Mills-Carleton Lumber
Company makes on its three Packards

‘‘For delivering lumber, the motor
truck is the on/y means,’’says E.M.
Carleton, Vice-President of this im-
portant concern, which has exten-
sive yards at Cleveland, Ohio.

‘‘We are positive, from our cost
accounts, that our Packards paid for
themseives and made a profit be-
sides, in the first year each was in
service.

On a recent test, one of the com-
pany’s 4-ton Packards backed up
Mr. Carleton’s words by earning
$28 in 8 hours and 18 minutes—
more than four times as much as a
competing team of horses.

The Packard made four trips that
day, totaling 72 miles, and delivered
15,132 board feet of lumber.

The Mills-Carleton Company
bought its first Packard truck in
1910—standardized on Packards
in 1914—and bought another Pack-
ard last March.

Lumbermen who purchase Pack-
ard trucks usually re-order. Seven
sizes of silent worm-drive Pack-

International Co-operation Necessary

Pacific Coast Manufacturers of Canada and United States Urged to Work Together
for Promotion of Export Demand for Lumber

At the “Forest Industry Conference” held recently at Portland,
Oregon, an important address was delivered by Mr. H. R. Mac-
Millan, former special lumber trade commissioner for Canada, who
is now assistant manager of the Victoria Lumber and Manufacturing
Company, Limited, Chemainus, B.C. Mr. MacMillan’s subject was

“International Co-operation,’ and he spoke as follows :—

“I have been listening very c arefully to the chairman’s constant
expression of optimism that a great foreign market will develop in
some hitherto undiscovered part of the world and take care of all
of these problems. Now, it is just that kind of optimism I want to
condemn. It is not going to get anybody anywhere (laughter), and
I am surprised at the chairman that he should so constantly reiterate
one of the basic evils of the business.

“This association is very properly the place to discuss co-opera-
tion. They introduced co-operation and, consequently, success, into
the fire protection business; and now they are coming around to co-
operation in something which is much more important than fire pro-
tection. I suppose at ‘the very most our losses from forest fires have
not been greater than $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 a year. Just this $2
a thousand, which we can get any minute we really want it, and go
after it, on a Douglas fir cut alone, would be $20, 000,000 a year. (Ap-
plause).

“So co- operation in marketing is just ten times more important
than co-operation in stopping forest fires. In fact, so long as the
people in this country are content to sell these 400-year old trees on a
$9 basis on an export list, 1 don’t see why we should not continue to
have forest fires ; we would be money ahead. (Laughter and applause).

“I am down here to speak of the necessity for international co-
operation. International co- operation is necessary here on three dif-
ferent points; and from the Canadian standpoint, so far as I know it,
the Canadians are extremely anxious to expand, and work in inter-
national co-operation. The first thing is educating the public to a
knowledge of the conditions under which the lumber industry labors.

Progress Demands Co-operation

“Supposing you carried out this work, as you are certainly do-
ing, and in a short time have adjusted your stumpage situation ; what
good is that going to do you in the foreign market if the Canadians
have not kept pace with you? We all know that we have not got
nearly so much timber as you have. We probably have about a third
that is available for export, a third as much as you have in the Douglas
fir region. That little third is just enough to upset all your combina-
tions and calculations for as long as anybody in this room is going
to live. Therefore, so far as the coast is concerned, the Canadians
and the people of the United States must operate together. You can
do nothing unless the Canadian progress is made equal to your pro-
gress. And at the present time, in a public understanding of the lum-
ber situation and in the preparation of adequate and expert machinery
to take care of the lumber situation, the Canadians are not on a par
with you here in the United States. It is a very humiliating confes-
sion to make, but we must make the progress that you are making,
and the only thing, or one great feature of encouragement, is that we
speak a common language “and can learn from what you have done.

“The second part of the international co-operation is not so neces-
sary. It is simply a case where we should add our little to what you
are going to do; and that is that these foreign countries must be taught
to use our lumber more wisely and to use more of it.

“I was very glad to hear the gentleman who just spoke refer to
the conditions in South America. I was not in South America, but
every place else I was I found the situation ludicrous, if it had not
been so pathetic. I found no person selling lumber in any place I
visited, which was the whole of the British Empire and some other
countries. There is no person selling our timber anywhere. I argued
for the best part of two days with the Society of Civil Engineers in
South Africa to induce them to believe that Douglas fir was a good
timber to use for temporary bridge construction. I saw them pull
down old buildings in Cape Town and take out second-hand pitch
pine timbers that were cut in every conceivable direction with mor-
tises and tenons and saw them up and use them for railway carriage
building at the large cost of 7s 6d per board, when Douglas fir, a fresh
cargo from this coast, was offered to them in absolutely sound timbers
at a third the price. They don’t believe in Douglas fir. I mentioned
Douglas fir, as it happened to be the only wood in which Canadians
are interested. The same condition applies to every west coast wood.

“Tt is inconceivable to believe that hundreds of millions of dol-
lars can be invested here in. holding timber lands and bringing the

Dewees a 1916 as

manufacture of lumber to the highest point of manufactured produc- —
tion and not a particle of care taken of the cargo after it is loaded
on the ship. (Applause). But that is the condition that exists.
American Lumber in China x ;

“The chairman mentioned yesterday morning, I think, what a
wonderful opportunity China presented. China will be a market | for
railway sleepers, but if you went over there at the present moment
and attempted to give them creosoted Douglas fir railway sleepers
you could not do it. The people who have been creosoting Dous
fir for export here have evidently had their whole ambition staked
selling one cargo; they probably did not care about selling anoth
At least, that is the only thing an observer in that country can ji
Cargoes have been sold in India that have fallen to pieces in the
slings, and others have only lasted from two months to two
in the track; and the result is every potential purchaser of De
fir sleepers in either China or India is now an enemy of the Da
fir business. he
“We found people in almost every town selling cement, iro
all manner of substitutes; and for every little thing that dey
which is wrong with any commodity on the market, there is an
there, in a minute, to adjust the situation. A Douglas fir
rives, some little thing goes wrong about it, and there is nobod
to look after it, and they immediately look for something else.
“T can give you an instance which will show you how the fo
purchaser learns about woods. The city engineer of the city of
bourne, a city of about 700,000 people, depending almost entirel
imported soft wood, is in a position to condemn any wood
any public building. Naturally his condemnation of a wood for pub
buildings leads to similar condemnation by private owners. —
are very largely guided by government authority. If the wood is n
fit to put into a public building, the retailer hesitates to ae! t il
stock and it is condemned throughout the trade. ;

Introduction of Redwood into Melbourne

“The city engineer of Melbourne was looking for a fireproof iy
to use in halls, stairways and in all public buildings. He was building
a lattice work fence around his garden at home and he had a lot of —
redwood lath. He built the fence himself and had a lot of short aa
and shavings left, and the boiling of their washing was done over an ~
open kettle outside. “He left those shavings and short pieces and
thought they would be very fine to light the fire with for the wash--
ing. The washwoman came and struggled all day, without lighting ¥
the fire, and when he came home at night he ran into a domestic temp- | q
est. Then he discovered “here was fireproof wood;” and since that
day every public building in Melbourne has had to be lined with red-
wood and all the halls. That is where the man got his information. —
(Applause).

“Now that is simply typical of wetiak is going on amongst oy
lions of potential users of west coast woods. hat same man, it hap-—
pened, built a house for himself. Somehow or other he discovered —
dry rot through defective ventilation in the basement joists of his —
building. These joists were Douglas fir. Something went through
the floor, I don’t know what it was, a stove or something like ee
and since that time in no public building in Melbourne is Dor 5
allowed to be used for basement joists. ‘Chat is the way they pee
information, by blundering blindly from one fact to another, a ;
a when they arrive at it, if it is not a fact, it is a prejudice. — a

Douglas Fir in South Africa Se ‘a

“I remember one incident that occurred in the gold mining dis
trict on the Reef in South Africa. The price of the Swedish 3x 9)
that they had been using for scaffolding in the mines went so
that one of the mine purchasing agents, a keen chap, who contr
the purchase of about 30,000,000 feet of timber annually and onl
one group of mines—thus controlling to a certain extent the purck
made by other mines, because if he brought in a large quantity ¢
timber the others used the same sy spake = hess > to introduce ea
las fir 3 x 9 in the mines. “4

“The laborers refused to stand on 3 x 9 Douglas fir for fear it
would not hold them and insisted on two thicknesses being put wher-
ever the Douglas fir was used, with the result that it was put out
of business. his man had no time to fight labor unions. If he had
been deeply interested in using Douglas fir, or some one else had been
there who would have produced the facts in favor of the Douglas fir, —
he might have insisted on using it. At the present time there is enough ©

corrugated iron imported to replace 3,000,000,000 feet of timber, and

the proportion is constantly increasing, so far as I can find out. The
per capita use of soft wood timber in Australia is only 24 feet per year
—almost an unlimited opportunity for the development of the market.

“T could discuss this for hours, it seems to me, because it is a
boiling, burning subject—the utter insanity of the manner in which
we have sat here at home and howled about hard times and failed
to develop the foreign markets. , a

Getting More Money for the Product

“The second thing is the question of getting more money for the
timber we do export. With every exporter I met, the very first inquiry
he made was as to the mental condition of the people who made and
produced and sold this lumber. They cannot understand it. (Laughter ).
In fact, they don’t believe yet that it is true. The first thing. is
entirely price. We sell lumber here at $8 to $10 base. The freight
in normal times is $10 to Australia. The duty is from $2 to $7 a
thousand. The landed cost c.i.f. and d. is in the neighborhood of $30.
In normal times they retail that lumber throughout Australia for $56
a thousand. An extra $2 or $4 to us would make absolutely no dif-
ference to the consumers in Australia; they would never hear about it.
The only alterations they ever make in their price lists in Australia
are alterations of $6 a thousand, 60 cents a hundred; so they probably
would not bother with little increases of $2 in the f.a.s. price.
(Laughter ).

“When the freight rates jump from $10 a thousand to $20 a thous-

and it does not affect in the least, so far as I can find out, the consump-
tion of lumber in Australia. They used the same proportion of lumber
in building when the price was a little lower. The difference between
$55 a thousand and $60 a thousand in a country using 20 board feet
per capita per year does not amount to anything. They would never
hear about it.
. “The next thing is, if we spent a small proportion of the increased
price that we get, say 25 cents a thousand, which would be $150,000
a year for the Douglas fir region alone, we could probably pretty
nearly double our sales.

“There is another mistake we make in the export market, and
that is that the spread in ‘G’ list, on long timbers, large timbers,
selects and clears, is a gift to the purchaser. We are bonusing every
purchaser who buys a long timber. I have been greatly interested
always in exhibits that this association has had here. I was informed
a short time ago that a gentleman here on the Columbia River sold a
cargo specification for $8.50 a thousand. I think he would be the
most interesting exhibit that this association could have had to present
to the lumbermen assembled here. (Laughter and applause).

“T have in my pocket, or in my hand, rather, a short statement,
which is worth reading, taken from a Sydney retail price list of Janu-
ary, 1915. I am talking about Sydney or Melbourne all the time, be-
cause there is no use of talking about one hundred places when the
conditions in one are simply multiplied in all the others. This refers
to what they do to,our ‘G’ list when they get it down amongst the
consumers. On a timber 41 to 50 feet long we charge extra $3 a
thousand; the Sydney retailer, when it costs him.$30, landed, sells

on a base of $56.80; and then where we add $3 he adds an additional -

$13.20. So on a timber 12 x 12—41 feet and 50 feet long, he’gets a
profit of nearly $30. For 51 to 60, where we add $6, he adds $15.60;
61 to 70, where we add $9, he adds $20.40; 71 to 80, where we add $13,
he adds $25.20. ;

The Question of Prices

“Now I would like to ask if any person in this room believes
that one of these 300 or 400-year-old trees, which we own and protect
from fire and stand around here and discuss for a day or two in every

year, should be administered wholly for the benefit of the Sydney -

retailer? And that is just what has happened.

“The same condition exists in the larger dimensions, 31 to 40 feet
long. This is an additional charge. For 14 x 14, we charge $1 extra;
they sell it at a profit of a little over $16 base and add $2.40 for having
it big. They don’t grow it; we grew it; but they get the money for
growing it. For 16 x 16, we charge $2, and they charge $5. For 18
x 18, we charge $3, and they charge $15. They appreciate that that
Was an expensive tree to grow, therefore they tack on $15 profit.
(Laughter). For 20 x 20 we charge $4, and they charge $20. And
they get it, too. There is no cutting on these price lists: (Laughter).

“For clears we charge, on a 1 x 6, $7.50 a thousand; the wise
Sydney men get together and they say, ‘That stuff is scarce upon the
west coast of North America; we will charge them $12 a thousand
for it. They charge them $12 and they get it. And that goes on
all the time.

Australian Buyers Have Us on the Run

“There is another thing I was pretty nearly going to forget, and
that is that these Australian buyers have us on the run. We may
flatter ourselves that we have a grading bureau here and we sell them
what we want to sell. ;

“After we have cut the price down to a basis where we can’t look
' it in the face, we go to work and compete on grade competition, and

December 1, 1916 —

the result is that cargoes go in there one after another which
away above merchantable, even when only merchantable is oat 4
That is the fault of the shipper. . 1a
“T don’t mean to intimate for a moment that it is the fault of the
grading organization. The shippers are putting in altogether too good
timber. The result is, walking down the main street of Sydney about
three months and a half ago I saw a temporary fence put up around
a bank building—just one of those fences to keep passers-by fre
stumbling over the brick and mortar. I counted the first 122 boards
in that fence and thirty-six of them were 1 x 6-6 foot edge grain pe
fect flooring boards. If they paid for this lumber what they shoule
pay, according to the quality which is inherent in it (it belon
this country and not Australia), they would not use it for tempora
board fences; they would not think of it. a
“The trouble is they are being given by us a champagne tast
which we have not got the financial capacity to keep up. We
continue to feed them this stuff on the present price. They are
the idea these Douglas fir trees grow to be four feet square, abs
square, clear to the heart, and all you have to do is slice thes
cut clear boards. They have to buy our timber (so far as
at the present moment, they have no other possible source
and what we should do is to get together and insist when tt
they buy the whole log; that every cargo carries a certain prop
of common. They can use common in building a city in Au
as easily as we can use common in building a city in North
It only requires that we should have control of the trade an
control and deal fairly with them; but make them take our |]
well as our upper grades; and then the cargo business will
assistance to the interior lumberman. But so long as we se
high grades foreign and keep the low grades home to burn
into the interior, the cargo business can only benefit the car
and it cannot benefit them at the present level of prices. |
_ “The only suggestion I have to make is that, having |
this co-operation in fire protection, in which you have co-o
us Canadians out of the good of your hearts, that you
enter with us into a co-operation for the good of your
putting the lumber before the foreign purchaser in such a sl

will pay for it.” (Applause).

_ He must have an existence before the operating +
formed. Many a lumbering proposition would never have be

an observing woman remarked to the writer, after he had
tract of timber, that a good many men had looked it over, a1
some day one with more money than brains would appear
they would sell it. The sale soon took place, and with d
results. Here is where our hero must shine. He must be a ¢
timber estimator. He is a good judge of the quality of the id
mated as well as its quantity. He has gained his knowledge and ji
ment by continuous estimates and study of various forest stand
further by following the logs through the mill and comp
outcome with his own prior estimates. He is conservative

Then our manager makes himself perfectly familiar with
conditions. Here is where he must be onto his job or costs”

He insists on being his own engineer, and determines grades and

skidded, but the amount of available stumpage must determine to
what distance he can push his steeb and thus cheapen the actual skid-
ding. The nice balance between railroading and skidding must be
determined by our manager, and here is just where the most expensive
mistakes are sometimes made. Local conditions must determine what
shall be done. Each stream, each mountai1y and finally each logging
proposition as a whole may require different treatment, and the real
office of the manager is to determine how each situation is to be
handled for economical production. |! ccause A has been successful
with one method of logging is no reason why B should use the same
method. :

Our manager must determine the relative merits of standard and
narrow-gauge railroading. _ Personally we have never been able to
persuade ourselves that the narrow gauge was economical for the
handling of not only logs, but bark and wood as well. It has been our
experience that if we are to handle large stocks of logs with conse-
quent heavy equipment, track and ties must be practically as durable
for the narrow as the standard gauge, and there is, consequently, little
saving in the cost of construction and no saving in the cost of opera-
tion, and an actual loss in the handling of bark and wood. The size of
the operation and the possibility of future railroad development will
have some bearing in determining gauge.

Looking backward, our manager finds that much progress has
been made in recent years in logging methods. However, he is not
satisfied, but it still working to improve upon the past. The method
that has the most pressing appeal to him is to deliver the timber to the
mill in the whole tree, or practically so, where it can be'cut for both
grades and lengths under the eye of one man, who shall be specially
qualified for that work.

Conscious of the value of stumpage, our ideal manager is con-
stantly working on the problem of eliminating waste and conserving
all of the economically valuable wood. This means that he insists on
securing all the valuable timber and bringing to the mill such, and
only such, parts of the whole tree as are commercially profitable. For
the residue he is seeking avenues of disposition in other directions, and
here he calls to his aid the chemist and the government. There are,
no doubt, commercial possibilities in all wood waste, and the govern-
ment could render no better service than to aid the lumberman in find-
ing uses and a market for all such waste. These latent values some
day the magic wand of the chemist, under government aid, will make
real. fants Wy

He believes that the lumberman has an obligation to future gener-
ations, and so uses all means to conserve the newly-growing timber.
The recent statement of the chief forester of the United States that by
reducing waste it is possible to harvest a continuous crop of hard-
woods from the present stand, and at the present rate of production
quickens his pulse and stirs him to renewed efforts to lessen this waste
and help to conserve these valuable hardwoods. ‘To this end he com-
bats the forest’s greatest enemy—fire. Especially during dry seasons
he insists on carefully hooded and screened locomotives; all trains
fully equipped with hose and buckets; the outlook tower being care-
fully manned, and constant watchfulness to prevent the smallest begin-
ning of fire.

Our ideal manager is a crank on cost accounting, and is able to
show from month to mouth not only all the varied items that go to
make up his totals, but adds thereto ample depreciation to consume
his plant during its operation. Only thus can he keep from deceiving
himself as to visible profits up to the close of his operation. However
others may figure that low-grade lumber costs less to produce than
high-grade, for himself he can prove by detailed accounting that his
small and low-grade logs cost more to saw, trim, grab, skid, roll, load,
and haul to the pond than the larger, high-grade logs.

He is a strategist, and knows how to handle men. He looks after
the physical comforts of his men. His model camp is well lighted and
ventilated; has ample storage and kitchen facilities; the dining camp

is clean and roomy; sleeping quarters are kept clean and orderly; he ~

provides a well-equipped reading and writing-room; pure water is
always supplied, and the sanitary conditions are well looked after, for
any man below par physically or mentally is the worst asset of any
camp.

_ He has an open mind and, while keeping his own counsel and
doing his own will, is eager for suggestions from both superiors and
inferiors. He is not like the laws of the Medes and Persians, that
change not, but is ready to discard the mistakes of yesterday for the
light and wisdom of to-day. Especially does he solicit suggestions
poe the men immediately about him, for they are rich in practical

Of necessity he must be the chief counsel of the business. New
problems of the greatest concern present themselves daily, and he has
constant need of all his faculties. Hence he must keep his mind clear
and body fit at all times. In short, he is a personality unhampered by
the past, believing all things of the future, living, thinking, planning
ae accomplishing day by day the highest results in the game of Ium-

ering. ;

an interview stated that the Federated Malay States are endeavoring
to obtain supplies of wood pulp from British Columbia. The source of
supply for the Malay States has been interfered with by the war, and
British Columbia offers the greatest advantages in connection with
securing future stocks.

The Brown Corporation have a first-class, modern dressing plant
in connection with their mills at La Tuque, Que., and they make a spe-
cialty of dressing, re-sawing, and ripping lumber in transit. They have
such excellent facilities that shipments can be put through promptly,
and the plant is modern in every way. La Tuque is located on both the
Canadian Northern and Transcontinental railways.

E. C. Atkins & Co., Indianapolis, Ind., report that Mr. T. A. Car-
roll has been appointed manager of their advertising department, to
succeed Mr. H. I. Benham, who has resigned. Mr. Carroll has been
in charge of the company’s trade service department and is therefore

_ Mr. Benham, resigned in order to enter a new field of business.

THE

MOST MODERN MACHINE

FOR

SKIDDING LOGS OF ALL SIZES

The “LIDGERWOOD” Portable High Spar Skidder

Operating over the longest single span in the world—over 3800 feet

The portable spar is mounted upon a steel platform, and the
spar can be readily: lowered for moving. The platform can be
either mounted on trucks, remaining on same during operation,
or built with legs, and provided with hydraulic jacks which
lift it off the trucks or car upon which it is moved from one set-
ting to another, and allow it to straddle the track during opera-
tion, the empty cars passing underneath the machine to be
loaded.

The engine equipment varies according to the requirements,
methods of loading, whether by boom or guy line, guy tightening,
car spotting, etc. We equip these skidders with engines adapted
to meet every requirement. The main skidding engine and its
auxiliary engine or engines may either be mounted on the same
car with the spar or on separate car.

The LIDGERWOOD skidders are the only skidders pro-
vided with interlocking drums, and with a mechanical slackpuller.

The method of interlocking the drums makes it possible to

suspend the logs at any height. They can be skidded with the
ends dragging along the ground or entirely suspended.

This interlocking of the outhaul drum is done by one set of
vearing, but when the outhaul drum returns the carriage a high-
speed gear is thrown in and the carriage travels back at high
speed.

When the-carriage is run out into the woods with the skid-
ding line the operator at the engine, by means of the slack-pulling
drum, pays out all the slack that is required in the skidding line
to reach logs lying on either side of the main cable. The slow
and tedious pulling of the slack by hand is done away with and
time and labor saved on each trip.

These two devices giving high speed outhaul, skidding with
the load in suspension, a reduction of the strain on engines and
cables, and a saving of time picking up each load, give high capa-
city, low cost for operation and maintenance, and handle the logs
without damage to the timber.

We have paid special attention to the construction of Cableway Skidders re-
quired by conditions in British Columbia and the most successful machines
now in use in that province were installed by us.

The International Makes
A Perfect Pay-Roll

What do you pay a year for compiling pay-rolls?
—a small fortune if you don’t use an International

Just this item alone—pay rolls—is sufficient to make an Interna-
tional worth while in your plant. Each employee makes up his
own pay in his own time by punching an International Time
Recorder.When pay day comes you have a simple and accurate
time sheet from which to work.

An International in your plant will have the moral effect of pro-
moting co-operation, discipline and contentment.

There are 260 styles—one particularly suited to conditions in
your organization.

There’s No Better Proof of the

-worth of Spartan Belting than the work
it is doing on difficult quarter-turn

driv

The unusual pliability of Spartan
Leather enables the belting to operate
successfully on short centres—hugging
the pulley tightly when taking sharp
turns over small pulleys, thereby trans-
mitting maximum power most econom-
ically on the hardest quarter-turn
drives.

The quarter-turn shown was de-
signed by our own engineers, and to
insure highest efficiency it was, of
course, Spartan-equipt. These eng
neers are at your service, too.

No. 2 Lath Machine

E have brought out our No..2 Lath Machine with the view of meeting that
ever increasing demand of mill men in Canada for a light, medium capacity
Lath Machine, that will turn out a first quality product.

Made with a one piece frame just as our larger No. 3 Machine. All the parts
are strongly constructed and have that easy accessibility that we have madea feature
of all E. Long Company Machines. We believe this very feature has done a great
deal to make the machines so popular with the trade.

Just as with our larger Machine, the saws are adjustable for ordinary lath or
for pickets, staves, etc.. In fact this machine will turn out work an exact counter-

part of the No 3 Lath Machine, except in quantity. We shall be glad to give you
further details and prices.

Who Pays the Power Bill?
Who Pays for Pulleys?

YOU—the Management—pay for the
power that drives your factory. And, re-
member—you pay for the power you waste
as well as for the power you use. Ex-
haustive scientific tests prove conclusively
that the actual cost per year for running

metal pulleys as against wood pulleys

averages $5.00 per pulley.

Dodge Wood Split Pulleys cost 40 per
cent. less than metal pulleys and are 50 per
cent. more efficient. They help you cut
the cost of your power bills. Next time
you require pulleys see that the
“requisition ” calls for Dodge Wood Split
Pulleys and not for steel pulleys.

A Merry Christmas to the Trade

The arrival of Christmas this year finds the lumber trade of Can-
ada in quite a different condition from that which prevailed a year
ago. Last year we were looking back upon a year and a half of war,
The volume of business
transacted during 1915 had been extremely light; prices had not been
satisfactory and the outlook was uncertain. During 1916, although

the war has continued with us, the pendulum of trade has swung back,

and lumbermen have a good reason for celebrating Christmas this
year in a merry manner. Leaving out of consideration for the time
being the depressing conditions arising out of the war, the lumbermen
of Canada to-day are well justified in taking full enjoyment out of the
Christmas season, for the trade situation has changed for the better in
a remarkable way since Christmas, 1915. The volume of lumber con-
sumption has increased, the demand has strengthened and broadened,
and, last but not least, prices of practically all lines have advanced, so
that everyone, from the manufacturer to the retailer, is making a mod-
est profit upon the stock he produces or handles. The probability is

‘that these favorable conditions will be increased to some extent during

1917 by the increased scarcity of stocks arising out of the high cost of
labor and supplies and the consequent reduction in woods operations.
[t is reasonable to feel, in fact, that the lumber trade has settled down
into what may be considered as a normal war time condition, charac-

terized by increasing operating costs, higher prices, and increasing

inability of production to keep up with demand, all of which, though
they involve a reduced volume of trade as compared with normal
times, result in a Sound trade situation. Unquestionably the outlook
for the lumber trade at the end of 1916 is more encouraging than it
has been at any previous time during the war.

We wish our readers a Merry Christmas for 1916 and a Happy
New Year, with the hope that when Christmas comes again in 1917
trade conditions will be as favorable as they are to-day, and that they

will have been supplemented by the blessings of a victorious peace.

Real Forest Fire Protection for
Ontario

The announcement made by the Minister of Lands, Forests, and
Mines for the Province of Ontario that his department is coming into
line with those of several other Canadian provinces and adopting
modern methods of fire prevention, so as to put an end to the enor-
mous annual losses of standing timber, is a welcome piece of news.
It means, we feel safe in predicting, that if the methods used in the
other provinces are properly adopted and rigidly put into operation in
Ontario, We have now experienced the last of our great conflagrations
in the forest districts of Northern Ontario such as that which during
the past summer wiped out of existence hundreds of settlers, together
with their homes and effects, and caused incaleulable damage to our
standing: timber. It means, too, that the families going into Northern
Ontario to settle can depend in future upon practical protection
against such calamities, and so feel encouraged to undertake the task
of settling in the new country. Undoubtedly the prevention of forest
fires will have the double effect of saving timber and giving a stimu-
lus to settlement.

A great source of difficulty in the past has been the conflict of
iuterests between timber owners, settlers, and prospectors, together
with the inability of the individual settler to protect himself against
the carelessness of others. This can now be entirely done away with.
The time of year at which the Minister has made his announcement
is a fortunate one, because between now and the next danger season
in the summer of 1917 there will be time enough to arrange details
and appoint the necessary staff to put the system into effect suffi-
ciently to reduce greatly and probably almost eliminate the fire losses
that we could otherwise predict with certainty for next year.

Elsewhere in this issue a report of the Minister’s announcement
is published, giving in detail the changes that are proposed. The
announcement was made to a deputation arranged by the Canadian
forestry Association, which represented many important individuals
and associations directly interested in the preservation of the standing
timber of the province or in the prevention of forest fires. Some of
the associations represented, such as the St. Maurice I‘orest Protective
Association, Limited, and the Lower Ottawa Forest Protective Asso-
ciation, Limited, have already proved the adequacy, simplicity, and
reasonable cost of modern forest fire fighting methods, and have given
the Ontario department the benefit of their experience and co-opera-
tion. The trail has already been blazed by these associations, and it
simply remains for the Ontario department to organize the necessary
staff in order to place the protection of the province on an equal foot-
ing with the best system in North America.

The plan as outlined by the Minister is to create a branch of the
Department of Lands, Forests, and Mines and to give it entire control
of the fire prevention problem. The head of this department will be
Mr. E. J. Zavitz, who has had long experience in connection with
forestry problems in Ontario and is an excellent man for the position.
Under Mr. Zavitz there will be a staff of inspectors and rangers. If
the methods in use elsewhere are adopted, this staff will be organized
in such a way as to provide an ample number of rangers, under a
corps of inspectors, who will each be assigned a definite number of
rangers to inspect. The percentage of inspectors to rangers will be
greatly increased as compared with the present practice in Ontario.
The rangers will be entrusted with the duty of patrolling for fires and
enforcing the permit law which it is the intention of the Government
to enact for the regulation of settlers’ fires.. A close season for setting
out settlers’ fires will be established, during which no fires will be
allowed except with the permit of a ranger and in a ranger’s presence.
This provision has been the means of practically wiping out the
danger from settlers’ fires wherever it has been adopted, and in the ©
course of a year or two the settlers have realized that the plan is
greatly in their own interests. In some districts the settlers, appre-
ciating the value of the protection they receive, have, of their own
accord, assisted financially and otherwise in rendering the system
more effective. Breaches of the permit law will lead to punishment
by fine or imprisonment. Wherever this practice has been adopted

22 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

there have been a fairly large number of fines during the first year, a
great reduction during the second year, and practically no fines during
the third and subsequent years.

Supplementing the reorganization of the fire protection staff, the
department will increase its equipment for fire prevention and fire
fighting. It will build trails, telephone lines, and lookout towers in
the woods, making it possible to locate, report, and reach a fire in the
shortest possible time. All these improvements can be carried out at
a surprisingly small cost. In fact, it is not unreasonable to expect
that in the course of a year or two after the work of reorganization

‘7 ae -— ot il

December 15, 1916.

has been completed and the trails, lookout stations, and telephones
increased in number, the cost of fire prevention will be easily within
the amount expended at present for the same purpose.

The announcement of this change of policy on the part of the
Ontario Government is the most important event in connection with
the history of forest protection that has taken place in the province.
The lumber industry and all those who depend upon it for their raw
niaterial will watch closely the carrying out of the scheme, and un-
doubtedly will give their fullest co-operation wherever it can be of
service.

Western Retailers Great on Co-operation

In the prairie provinces of Canada retail lumbermen seem to be
made of some different kind of material from those in Ontario and
other parts of Eastern Canada. Recently the Canada Lumberman has
taken upon itself to point out to the retailers of Ontario the self-evi-
dent truth that they have within themselves the power to improve
greatly the conditions under which their trade is conducted, by form-
ing an association and co-operating to bring about a number of
reforms that are urgently needed and, at the same time, adopting pro-
gressive policies that will enable them to conduct their affairs more
successfully and smoothly. One would think, if he had not had some
experience to the contrary, that a proposition of this nature would
méet with general approval and that it would not be a difficult task to
put it into effect. However, this is not the case. We took consider-
able trouble in selecting a list of 100 of the best known retail lumber-
men in Ontario. To them we sent a letter clearly outlining the pro-
position and asking for an expression of opinion, not for publication,
but simply to guide us in deciding whether it would be advisable to
call a meeting for the purpose of discussing the formation of an asso-
ciation of Ontario retail lumbermen. Of these 100 retailers some half-
dozen replied in favor of forming an association, one or two were in
doubt, and one opposed it directly. We followed this with a second
‘letter to the same effect, and received a few more replies. We have
secured in all, as a result of writing 200 letters, just ten replies favor-
able to an association, two or three expressing doubt, and one directly
opposed. We presume that the balance of the retailers have thrown
our letters into,the basket. One would think we were trying to sell
them something they did not want, or to rope them in for something
not in their own interests.

So much for the retailers in Ontario. We do not try to explain
their lack of interest in such a proposition; we simply give it up for
the time being, but at the same time we will tell them a little about
what is being done in the prairie provinces.

Elsewhere in this issue the retailers of Ontario will find a report
of an address given to the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto Board
of Trade by Mis. A. B. Estlin, of Winnipeg, Man. In this report they

will get an idea of what has been done in the West by men whowe
trade circumstances are in many cases similar to their own.

service which is of direct money value to them far beyond the cost of
membership, and it has been able, for this reason, to enroll in its ranks
80 per cent. of the retailers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
‘The service given is of a varied nature.

ings required on the prairie, such as barns, silos, gramaries, farm
houses, etc., a number of examples of each kind being included. An

vided.
in converting a prospect into a customer and satisfying him that he is
getting good value for his money. An insurance department has also
been established, which has reduced greatly the cost of carrying insur-
ance upon retail yards. All this has been done with the least possible
amount of trouble to the members themselves. In fact, the members

find that co-operation of this kind simply involves the payment of a

comparatively small membership fee, sufficient to provide for the
employment of a competent staff, and that such a staff can handle
everything satisfactorily. So far as meetings are concerned, practi-
cally only one meeting a year is found necessary. Everything works
automatically. ,

What is the difference between the retailers of the prairie pro-
vinces and those of Ontario that the latter cannot work together also?
Of course, the prairie yards are mostly yards only; very few of them
conduct planing mills in addition. But, generally speaking, the busi-
ness problems are on a similar plane, and we cannot see any reason
why Ontario retailers should not prove themselves just as live and
progressive as those of the West. The simple state of affairs is, that,
up to date, they have not done so, although we have sought frequently
to point out to them the value of such co-operation and have shown
them how it has worked out successfully elsewhere. If anyone knows
how to explain this puzzle we would like to hear from him.

Reciprocity Results Without Any Formal Agreement

About six years ago President Taft and Sir Wilfrid Laurier were
‘engaged in the exchange of negotiations looking toward the passage
of a reciprocity treatment between Canada and the United States,
which was quite agreeable to the people of the United States at that
time, but did not meet with the approval of the people of Canada. Of
the merits of that proposal from a Canadian point of view there is
little to be said to-day, as the whole question is dead and buried, but
of the simple fact that two such nations as Canada and the United
States can confidently leave it to their industrial and commercial
leaders to develop their mutual interests whenever feasible, in a man-
ner which puts into effect many of the advantages the reciprocity
arrangement might be supposed to promote, we have lately had an
exceptionally interesting illustration. During the past few weeks
developments have taken place in the pulp and paper industries of
Canada and the United States that clearly indicate the readiness with
which industrial changes will take place along the line of least resist-
ance, so long as they are reasonably free to do so. Two events in par-

ticular illustrate this point. One is the acquisition by the Riordon
Pulp and Paper Company, Ltd., Montreal, of the Ticonderoga Pulp

and Paper Company, Ticonderoga, N.Y. The other is the purchase of

the mill and timber lands of the Partington Pulp and Paper Company,
St. John, N.B., by the Export Paper Company, Rumford, Me., and the

Bryant Paper Company, Kalamazoo, Mich. The latter two companies

have joined hands in the purchase of the Partington properties, and
have incorporated their newly acquired plant and business under the
name of the Nashwaak Pulp and Paper Company.

One does not need to seek far for reasons for these developments.
The Nashwaak Pulp and Paper Company will produce pulp at St.
John, N.B., and will furnish the Export Paper Company and the
Bryant Paper Company with raw material for their large outputs of
paper. A similar motive unquestionably prompted the other deal,
that by which the Riordon Company acquired the Ticonderoga plant.
On the one hand we have a company that has enormous quantities of
pulp and is anxious to secure a paper mill and on the other hand a

Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association has given to its members

company that is manufacturing large quantities of paper but lacks a
pulp mill. The parties to these deals are undoubtedly preparing to
turn out their finished product in its most complete form with as full
control as possible over all the manufacturing processes from the raw
material to the article ready for the consumer. The fact that an inter-
national boundary happens to exist between the sites of the different
plants does not affect the necessity or the wisdom of the deal, and it
has not required any reciprocity encouragement to bring about either
transaction. The irresistable logic of events has resulted in concrete
examples of a proposition which it was not possible for the govern-
ments of the two countries to persuade the people of Canada to foster
artificially. The wisdom of letting well enough alone seems to have
been amply demonstrated, as we in Canada are now securing, without
the giving of any quid pro quo, the advantages that we would have
secured by the enactment of a reciprocity agreement.

And when one comes to analyze the situation, does it not come
down to a very simple one, namely, a statement that industry can be
depended upon to seek its own best interests without artificial regu-
lations providing for the giving and taking of just those considerations
which will be exchanged as a result of the laws of supply and demand?
Moreover, we have in both these deals a very definite proof of the fact

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 23

that Canada does not need to seek favors of anyone in connection with
the marketing of its raw materials for the production of paper. "We
are logically the great source of supply for such raw materials for the
whole of North America and for other markets as well, and yearly
our strategic advantages in this connection are becoming greater as
the supply in other countries is depleted. So far as we in Canada are
concerned our problems in connection with pulpwood, pulp, and
paper will be to increase the amount of manufacturing carried on in
Canada until we turn a much larger percentage of our pulpwood and
pulp into paper, instead of exporting them to mills in other lands.
Under present conditions we are obliged to send out large quantities
of pulpwood and pulp to the paper mills of the United States, but
these mills are daily being obliged to get in closer touch with the
sources of raw material in Canada, even to the extent of buying up
large quantities of Canadian timber and purchasing Canadian mills.
The two instances reported above are straws showing the direction of
the wind and foretell a continually increasing tendency on the part of
the pulp and paper industries of Canada and the United States to get
together in order to make the most out of the timber resources of
Canada. This way of bringing about reciprocal trade developments is
infinitely better than an artificial method. -

Editorial Short Lengths for Busy Readers

_ Eyer since it first appeared as an article of luxury, there have been
frequent statements that the automobile has been a damage to the
lumber business because of the expensive habits it induced and the
supposed dissipation of savings that might otherwise have been in-
vested in home building.

Sometimes it is worth while to look at the other side of the~

question. There is an active organization of the lumber purchasing

agents for the automobile factories, and these gentlemen insist that.

on the basis of the present production, they are buying annually
500,000,000 feet of hardwood lumber, chiefly maple, elm, birch and

ash, and that in addition large quantities of yellow pine and other

softwoods are used for the crating and boxing of machines for export.

One prominent automobile manufacturer alone is now purchas-
ing fifty million feet of lumber per year; one large manufacturer of
automobile bodies will need forty million feet of lumber during the
coming twelve months, and another body manufacturer is using
twenty million feet yearly, chiefly maple and elm, btit also some sap
gum and sound, wormy oak; another body maker is using ten mil-
lion feet yearly of elm, gum, ash, maple and poplar. One manufac-
turer of automobile wheels is using the equivalent of twenty-six mil-
lion feet of hickory a year, and another very large wheel manufacturer
says that the average set of automobile wheels contains about 33 feet
of hickory—so figure it out for yourself.

And then there are garages. There are now three million auto-
mobiles in the United States. The average one-car garage, if built
with wood, takes about two thousand feet of lumber. Nobody knows
how many garages have been built or will be built next year, but

there will be a tremendous number of them, and a vast amount of

lumber required in the aggregate.

If you are a prospective garage builder, write to the National
Lumber Manufacturers’ Association for the latest publication entitled
“Your Garage—How to Build It.” It’s all meat and easily digested.
Whatever you do, don’t send away for a ready-made metal garage.
It will cost you about twice as much as a wooden one and will be
half as satisfactory.

Mr. J. C. Manzer, special representative of the New Brunswick
Government in Havana, Cuba, has forwarded the following informa-
tion on the lumber situation in Cuba: Stocks of lumber are consider-
ably reduced and prices are firm. Consumers are paying from $8 to
$10 per M. more for all grades of lumber than they were paying one
year ago. Cuban lumber dealers recently received notice from export-
ers in the United States that they were preparing to ship 1,000,000.000
feet of lumber to Europe the first year after the close of the war. Up
to the commencement of the war the United States was shipping to
Europe about 100,000,000 feet annually. Dealers here consider this

notice as a preliminary to another increase in price. Among the car-
goes of lumber arriving recently was a largé schooner loaded with
spruce from Bathurst, New Brunswick.

The highly valuable white pine forests of Ontario, Quebec, and
New Brunswick are in danger of extinction by the outbreak of white
pine blister rust, a disease originally brought over from Germany on
pine seedlings. Infected areas have been located in Ontario—in the
Niagara Peninsula, and in Simcoe, Durham, Wellington, and Victoria
Counties. In Quebec several outbreaks have been found near Mont-
real. An investigation has been under way for some months by
provincial government officers, but to prevent another disastrous visi-
tation such as cleared off most of the tamarack and chestnut trees the
most vigorous measures will have to be taken by all governments,
lumber companies, and individuals. The disease spreads through
eooseberry and currant bushes, which are used as a “host” plant. The
rust forms yellow patches on the under side of the leaves, then de-
velops late in June into spores on the currants and berries, and is car-
ried by the wind to the white pine. No preventive is known other
than destruction of the two kinds of berry bushes and of all five-
needled trees found to be infected. The governments of the Eastern
States have made appropriations for an immediate campaign to locate
diseased sections and to suppress the infection.

The Canadian Pacific Railway and Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P., are
having an interesting and important dispute regarding the ownership
of a lot of property on the water-front at Vancouver, Mr. Stevens

Ontario Adopts Modern Protection

Minister Announces Improved Fire Prevention Plan Including
Settlers’ Permits, Telephones, Ete.

An important announcement was made by Hon. G. Howard Fer-
guson, Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines for the Province of
Ontario, to a deputation which waited upon him recently, to urge fur-
ther and more efficient methods for the protection of standing timber
from fire. The deputation was arranged by the Canadian’ Forestry
Association, and included prominent representatives from all the in-
dustries interested in the forest products of Ontario, both from a manu-
facturing and consuming point of view; also representatives from
Boards of Trade, banks, fire insurance companies, etc. The request
of the deputation was divided under several heads. The chief sug-
gestions were that fire rangers should be given complete control
_ over settlers’ clearing fires, by the enactment of a “permit” law; that
control of the rangers should be centralized under a skilled manager
and a capable inspection staff of sufficient size to make frequent in-
spections; that the work should be facilitated so far as possible by
the use of modern mechanical equipment, including trails, telephones,
lookout towers, etc. :

After listening attentively to the addresses of a number of mem-
bers of the deputation, Hon. Mr. Ferguson said that the Governmeent
could only work out a successful system of administrating the forest
resources of the province with the co-operation of those who were
interested in their preservation and use. After he had come into
the department as its Minister, one of the subjects to which he had
devoted considerable study was that of forest protection, and fire
prevention in the north country, and they had fairly well developed
an extended and reorganized system, when the clay belt fire calamity
of this year overtook them. The conditions prevailing at the time
of the fire were unique, but, of course, it was not dealing with the
question of prevention of fire or control of its origin, to analyze those
conditions. In fact, the province needed some change in the methods
of handling the problem, as compared with those of a few years ago.
In earlier days it had been largely a question of administerating the
timber resources. Mining had developed, however, and, more re-
cently, increased attention had been given to colonization work. The
government had endeavored to meet all these changing conditions as
fully as possible. During the past year they had placed about 1,400
settlers in Northern Ontario. The settler was essentially an asset
to the development of the country. He would not like the public
to think that the Government had done nothing, however, in the
way of developing further fire protection for the fire resources. They
had, in the Nepigon reserve, established a very efficient system and
had developed along similar lines in other districts.

The department had now come to the conclusion that it would
be necessary to readjust the whole fire protection system, so as to
meet the conditions prevailing at the present time. He had had cor-
respondence with a number of lumbermen, and interviews and com-
munications with the different governments, upon this subject, had
collected all the information he could, and now had pretty definitely
arrived at a conclusion regarding the future. The intention of the
Government was to establish a separate branch of the Department
of Lands, Forests and Mines, that would deal entirely with the ques-
tions of forestry, fire prevention and protection. There would be
a head of the branch’ with entire control of the whole work, He
would be given a wide range of authority, an ample staff of com-
petent men and all the means necessary to see that the requirements
of the situation were carried out. He had also reached the conclusion
' that the only way in which they could secure actual control of set-
tlers and others in the north country was by adopting some. system
of permits or control of fires set out during the close season. He
thought also that they would have to extend their telephone systems
and lookout tower systems. Perhaps they would appoint a few mount-
ed rangers. The whole problem was one of getting together and
concentrating their fire fighting forces as soon as -a fire was dis-

covered... Up to the present time the department had spent a very.

large sum of money on fire protéction and* proposed to’ continue
doing so. The justification of such expenditure could not be ques-
tioned by anybody. | ts ols ne AG
It is understood that.the Government intends to appoint, as the
head of the new branch of the Department, Mr. E. J. Zavitz, who for

‘many years has been in charge of the Forestry section of the Lands’

Department.

The deputation which waited upon. the Minister was arranged
chiefly by Mr. Robson Black, secretary of the Canadian Forestry As-
sociation, and included among others: Lt.-Col. J. B. Miller, president
of the Canadian l*orestry Association, who introduced the speakers;
Sir Edmund Walker, President Canadian Bank of Commerce; W. E.
Bigwood, President Canadian Lumbermen’s Association; J. C. Elliott,

Strong Objections to Demurrage Hearing

Urgent representations were made récently to the Dominion
Board of Railway Commissioners by lumbermen in many parts of —
Eastern Canada, to the effect that the proposed hearing of the railway —
companies’ application for permission to increase demurrage charges
from $1 per day to $4 per day, and reduce the free time on lumber from
72 hours to 48 hours, which was to be held on December 11th, gave no
time to prepare a case against the railway companies. The Canadian
Lumbermen’s Association, the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto of
Board of Trade, and the Montreal Lumbermen’s Association all sent
in protests. Sir Henry Drayton, chairman of the Board of Railway a
Commissioners, advised the railways and the shippers to try to arrange
a compromise. A number of conferences were held on December 12.

free time on lumber should remain at 72 hours, but that the demur-
rage charges should be as follows: For the first day after the free time,
$1; for the second day, $1; for the third day, $2; and for the fourth and

subsequent days, $5. It is expected that this arrangement will be rati- _
fied by the board. This, of course, is a temporary arrangement, to last
only until April 30, 1917. ; Sy ®

Beach Combers to be Severely Handled ake oa

An interesting judgment was recently given by Judge McInnes
at- Vancouver, B.C., in connection with the prosecution of a man
named Charles Dorey for “fraudulently keeping in his possession logs
belonging to the Vancouver Lumber Company.” The prosecution was —
brought under an act placed upon the statute books about three years
ago, and recently amended, making it an indictable offence, with lia~
bility to three years imprisonment, for anyone, without the consent of -
the owner, fraudulently taking, collecting, keeping, or selling any tim-
ber, mast, spar, saw log, or shingle bolt found adrift or cast ashore in __
Canada. This was the first prosecution under the act, and the judge
was lenient with the defendant, expressing the opinion that it was
rather hard upon him to be made an example of when probably he had
no intention of infringing the law. Accordingly, he imposed only a :
moderate fine, but he pointed out that future offenders would be dealt
with more severely, the act having been passed for the protection of
th lumbering industry.

Toronto Lumbermen Will Hold a Banquet - oa a

At a recent meeting of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto
Board of Trade it was decided that-a lumbermen’s banquet should be
held in Toronto during the week between Christmas and New Year’s,
to which all lumbermen and members of. several affiliated trades
should be invited, including the dealers in builders’ supplies. It is”
expected that a very large attendance will be secured and that the
occasion will be the most interesting and successful of its kind that has
ever been held in Toronto. A special banquet committee was ap-=
pointed, consisting of Messrs. W. F. Oliver, A. E. Clark,-A. K. John-
son, and H. Boultbee. A special programme will be carried out, and
a number of good things will be arranged in the way of entertainment.

The citizens of Brockville, Ont.. recently gave a banquet in honor
of the 230th Forestry Battalion, stationed at that point. =

Western Retailers Doing Good Work

Plan Books, Blue Prints, Specifications, Etc., Furnished at
Cost—Insurance Rates Reduced.

At one of the recent weekly meetings of the Lumbermen’s Section
of the Toronto Board of Trade an excellent address was delivered by
Mr. A. B. Estlin, of Winnipeg, Man., formerly president of the West-
ern Retail Lumbermen’s Association, and one of its board of directors
for many years.

Mr. Estlin, in opening his remarks, stated that the Western
Retail Lumbermen’s Association was now about 27 years old, and it
enjoyed the largest representation it had ever had. It included retail-
ers from the three prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and
Alberta, and 80 per cent. of the yards were represented. During the
last two or three years the association had made very considerable
progress, and was now taking up vigorously the work of educating
both its own members and the public in regard to improved methods
of doing business. ;

One of its most important steps had been the recent adoption of
the plan book business. The association was now getting out the
second edition of this plan book, in which plans and full information
were given regarding all the usual types of buildings required in the
prairie provinces, such as granaries, silos, barns, houses, etc., a limited
number of each class being included. In connection with each plan
prices are given based upon the average prices of everything that goes
into the construction of the building, and owing to the number of
books the association had got out they were able to furnish them to
their members very cheaply. The plans included were specially
suitable for prairie customers, and were all prepared by the associa-
tion’s own staff. The buildings represented had all been actually
erected, and the prices, details, etc., were checked up and corrected
from actual results. Thus as the work proceeded and new editions
appeared the plans were improved according to the experience
obtained. The association was very proud of its plan books because
everybody else was copying them. The books were being handed out
practically at cost, and they had gone even further than this, having
established an architectural department. When any lumberman got a
customer who intended to put up a building he simply had to give the
association a rough sketch of the building on a piece of paper. The
staff of the architectural department would then make him out a set
of plans, blue prints, and specifications. In addition, the association
furnished a book of quantities for each type of building shown in its
plan book. Not content with all this, they had also drawn up and

were furnishing a standard estimating sheet which was adaptable to

every kind of building. All these lines of service had proved of great
assistance to the trade in general.

Another line of work the association had taken up was in connec-
tion with insurance on retail yards. About ten years ago the retailers
in the prairie provinces had been suffering greatly from the high price
of insurance upon their yards. The basis rate of the board companies
at this time was $2.50 a thousand, and the exposure charges also were
very high. The average cost of insurance was probably about $3.50 a
thousand. That was a very heavy charge because the retailers had to
carry large stocks. So the idea was conceived that they should get up
an insurance company of their own. In order to start it they had to
have a little money, and as they had none at that time, they proposed
to the board of directors of the association they should lend the insur-
ance institution $10,000, not to be used, but as a basis of credit, upon
which a fair rate of interest should be paid. This matter was arranged
and the insurance plan was worked out. It was figured that in order
to put the plan into successful operation at onte it would be necessary
for each man to pay in an amount equal to the insurance premiums

that he would be paying under a board company rate, this amount to°

he considered as a guarantee. This step was taken as a precaution
to enable them to call up to that amount and not hurt the insurer dur-
ing his first year. The money thus secured was called the guarantee
premium deposit. The association had kept up this plan every year
since, but as the basis rate decreased the amount of this deposit also
decreased. Instead of $2.50 a thousand, which was the rate during
the first year, it had now been brought down to 75 cents. .

The association have at the present time about $3,000,000 of
insurance in force. They had repaid the $10,000 borrowed from the
board of directors of the association, and, roughly speaking, they had:
$40,000 or $50,000 of capital. Moreover, they had never had to make

a call that in any, way. approached what the board companies had-been

charging. Last year and for the previous four or five years thev had
paid 48c._ Insurance on his own company’s yard at Melita, Man..
which had formerly cost them $350, was now costing them only $48,
and, in addition to that, instead of having a whole lot of trouble if
they had a fire loss. being lumbermen themselves, the policy holders
were dealt with as brother lumbermen, and the practice was to cive
them as fair an adjustment as possible. — a

' Another feature of the insurance plan was that they only covered

- charges.

up to $7,000 in any one yard. They had been able to get other com-
panies to take the excess insurance which they did not carry them-
selves. Of course, the assocation also made a charge for exposures,
like any other companies. During the past year they had not made
losses in excess of previous years, although there had been a far
greater moral risk than in the days before the hotels went out of busi-
ness. He could not explain this difference, but statistics showed that
it existed. Their latest statements showed that they had about $5,000
surplus on the season’s business.

The work of the insurance department had been wholly voluntary
on everybody’s part, with the exception of the staff, consisting of the
secretary and stenographer. All the rest of the work had been done
by the members of the association free of charge. As an association,
therefore, with the excellent record they had made, they felt very
proud of their work.

At the conclusion of Mr. Estlin’s address a number of questions
were asked and an informal discussion took place. The chairman, Mr.
J.B. Reid, expressed the thanks of the Lumbermen’s Section of the
3oard of Trade for Mr. Estlin’s instructive address.

Going After Freight Rate Refunds

Toronto Lumbermen Ask Railway Commission to Make
Railways Pay Back All Overcharges.

At the meeting of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto Board
of Trade, held on December 8, Mr. J. L. Campbell introduced a dis-
cussion upon the subject of freight rebates, drawing attention to the
established policy of the railway companies to delay and, whenever
possible to avoid, the payment of refunds for excess freight charges
improperly collected. Mr. Campbell referred to the difficulty experi-
enced by all shippers in following this matter up closely. Lumber-

men could not all be experts in the matter of freight rates. Some-
times they were charged excessive rates without knowing it. When-

ever they did make the discovery that they had been overcharged and
wrote to the railway company pointing out the error, the latter would
acknowledge receipt of the letter and that would be the last they
would hear of it unless ‘they kept after the railway company. Then
they would get another letter saying that the matter was being taken
up further. From three to six months would pass by without any-
thing being done, depending upon the laxity or diligence of the ship-
per. If he did not keep after the railway company to the very end he
would never get his money.

There was a great grievance here that ought to be remedied. In
many cases the local freight agent made mistakes in figuring the
charges. Sometimes these mistakes were overcharges and upon rare
occasions they were undercharges.. “The auditor of the railway com-
pany, in examining the books, would come across these mistakes. If
he found that the shipper had been undercharged the railway com-
pany never lost sight of him until it got the rest of its money. The
auditor who located these undercharges must, of course, also find the
overcharges. If the railway companies were permitted to come back
on the shippers for undercharges they should also refund the over-
However, this was not done. As a matter of honesty it
should be done. If the auditor found an overcharge and the railway
company buried it it really bécame a crime. It seemed to Mr. Camp-
bell that it would be a wise thing to take some action to make the rail-
Way companies adopt an honorable policy in this regard.

There was a similar case to be found in the matter of unclaimed
bank balances. The banks, however, made some attempt to find the
man entitled to the money. By reason of these balances being left in
the banks they accumulated to a very substantial sum. This money
did not belong to the banks, and as it came from the people at large it
should be returned to the people. A law had been passed obliging the
banks to hand this money over to the government. Mr. Campbell

.could see no reason why the same rule should not apply to the railway

people. When the auditor found an overcharge he should make a note
of-it and send ina return regarding it to the railway people. The rail-
ways should then return the money to the shipper, and, if the latter
could not be found, they should hand the money over to the state.
This would bea fair deal for the people.

That the amount of money improperly retained by the railway
companies in this manner was very considerable was clearly shown
by the fact that numerous companies had been estabilshed for the pur-
pose of checking over freight bills and making claims against the rail-
way companies. These companies did a good-sized business and
secured a considerable amount of money, showing that the amount
taken from the pockets of the people unjustly was very large.

After Mr. Campbell’s discussion of the matter several other mem-
bers expressed their approval of his remarks, and many definite in-
stances were given of the action of the railway companies ‘along this
line. It was finally decided that the secretary of the section should
write to the secretary of the Dominion Board of Railway Commis-
sioners asking them for a hearing upon this subject. ;

Plan for Single Band Saw Mill

Herewith are submitted the plans of what I consider one of the
most successful single band mills in the cauntry. In erecting a new
mill the question arises, how to arrange it for convenience as well
as to avoid unnecessary labor expense. Anyone contemplating the
building or rebuilding of a single band will do well.to consider the
arrangement shown in the sketches.

The engine and boiler rooms, as well as dust room, can be located:
at will, but should not be directly connected with the mill building.
If possible, the engine and boiler room should be located on the left-
hand side of the building, while the filing room should be on the

right-hand side, as shown at arrows,—R. C: Leibe, in The Wood-
worker, Indianapolis:

Montreal Lumber Association Annual Meeting

Mr. Arthur H. Campbell presided at the annual meeting of the
Montreal Lumber Association, held on December 4th at the Board of
Trade. In his report Mr. Campbell referred to the increase in railway
freights east of Port Arthur, including those on lumber, which was
asked for by the companies in. February, 1915. The proposed advances
were: In cases where the rate was 15 cents or lower, Yc advance; x
over 15 cents but not exceeding 25 cents, le advance; over 25 cents —
but not exceeding 35 cents, 1%4c advance; over 35 cents but not ex-
ceeding 45 cents, 2c advance. The association was represeented at —
the hearings in Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto by Mr. P. D. Gordon, —
Mr. W. A. Filion, the president, and other members, and by the mana-_
eer of the transportation bureau. After more than a year’s considera-
tion, the Board of Railway Commissioners granted the increases asked © =
for, and the advanced rates became effective on December Ist. The
judgment, however, provided that the present difference between the
local rate and the export rate must be continued. Reference was also,
made by Mr. Campbell to ocean rates, which during last winter |
advanced to 400s. per standard, and then steadily declined until Sep-|
tember, when they were down to 200s. From that date they again
advanced, ranging from 300s. to 325s. at the close of navigation. ~

A few days ago the railway companies applied to the railway) oo
commissioners for an amendment to the Canadian car service rules SO
as to provide that the demurrage charge for each 24 hours, as provided —
in rule No. 1, be increased from $1 to $4, and that the additional 24
hours beyond the 48 hours free time allowed for loading or unloading, __
amongst other goods, boards, deals, and scantlings, be cancelled. The
lumber trade is most strenuously opposed to the railways’ application, —__
being of the opinion that the car shortage is attributable, not somuch —_
to the misuse of cars as storage houses by the shippers as to the fail
ure of the railway companies to add sufficiently to their rolling stock __
during the last two or three years, to the shortage of labor, and to the
heavy business offering as a result of the war. When trade is so
handicapped and consumers are suffering to such an extent by reason
of the phenomenal advances in the prices of all necessaries of life, it
was most inopportune to allow of the further handicapping of trade
and additional increases in the cost of carrying on business. The hear- ‘-
ing was fixed for Monday, December 11, in Toronto. Conferences
were held at Toronto on December 12 and 13, resulting in a compro-
mise arrangement, as reported elsewhere in this issue. ee! .

The president expressed deep regret at the loss by death of Mr.
George J. Esplin, one of the charter members of the association, and
of Mr. G. A. Grier. ee i)

for staves and heads, and other material required, labor necessary, and the
prices obtained for the finished product? If you can give us any information
on these points, or put us in touch with anyone who can, we will appreciate
it very much—Colonial Lumber Company, Antigonish, N.S.

Information in reply to this question was published in our issuc
of December Ist. To this we are able to add the following information
furnished by the Sutherland, Innes Company, Limited, Chatham, Ont. :

The principal timbers used for the manufacture of wooden bar-
rels are as follows :-—

For staves—Elm, birch, spruce.

For heading—Basswood, hardwood and spruce.

For hoops—Elm.

The principal timber used is mentioned first in each case. Prices
will be governed by quality, proximity to market, and market con-
ditions. There are no fixed prices. This firm would probably want
to manufacture principally spruce staves, as they have little elm in
their vicinity. —

Information we7have received from an experienced manufacturer
in Nova Scotia is to the effect that they manufacture staves from
spruce and fir, and heading from spruce, fr and pine. The machinery
required is a saw for cutting the wood to proper lengths, a stave saw
for sawing the staves, and two jointers to take care of the output
of one stave machine.

_ Regarding the cost of operation, this firm states that a great
deal depends upon the man who operates the stave saw. Some men
* will saw 6,000 staves per day, some 8,000 and some 10,000, the latter
being practically the maximum figure. According to their experience,
the cost of sawing and jointing staves is approximately $1.60 per
thousand. This applies to normal conditions. At present, on account
of the high wages paid to all classes of workmen, the cost- would be
increased to some extent.

The price of the finished product depends, like that of all other
manutfafctured goods, upon supply and demand. During 1916 and
1915 staves have been low in price. The apple crop has been less
than average, and arrangements had been made for supplying a large
demand from this source, the result being that there has been a sur-
plus of stock until quite recently. This has now been practically
cleaned up. The foreign demand has also been less than usual on
account of the war and the disturbance of trades and industries using
staves.

The situation in conneciion with the stave market in Nova Scotia
is indicated by the fact that our informants have not been cutting
staves for about a year, although they have three stave mills and had
a contract for some 2,000,000 staves for the year 1914. Since that time
they have been cutting only for the local demand for apple barrels.
They report that according to their experience at the present time, no
one can cut staves for less than $6 a thousand f.o.b., shipping point.

The freight rate situation has also been a serious difficulty in
connection with the production of staves during the past two years.
Freight rates have increased enormously in all directions, both by rail
and water, and the cost of placing staves in the hands of the con-
sumer is nearly double. This company nearly closed a contract for
6,000,000 staves, on a delivered price, to a southern port in the autumn
of 1915. At that time they estimated that freights on lumber would
probably advance during 1916 to $7.50 or possibly $8 per thousand,
and they were figuring on this basis. Fortunately for themselves they
became a little more cautious than usual and decided to quote only on
an f.0.b. basis. The result was that they lost the business, which was
really an advantage to them, for the freight rate on lumber to the
same port increased to $16 per thousand during the same year.

In conclusion, this firm reports that unless the consumers of
staves advance their ideas in regard to price materially, they will

‘have to find some substitute, as no one can cut staves at the prices
that have been ruling during the past year. ;

Another manufacturer in Nova Scotia reports that he uses fir,
spruce and poplar, for apple and potato barrels. His machinery in-
cludes a stave saw, shingle machine which is used for both shingles
and heads, head rounder, planer and stave jointer, and a cut off saw
for sawing logs to the right length. One cord of wood makes from
1,000 to 1,200 staves, according to the quality. Five cords of wood

_ will saw into 1,000 pairs of heads. Staves are selling in his locality

at about $6 per thousand, heads at $60 per thousand pair, and hoops
at about $6 per thousand. Staves are supposed to be sawed 14 to a
barrel, coopers are charging Sc per piece for making. Milling ought
to cost $1.25 per thousand for staves and $20 per thousand pairs for
heads (not including wood). Barrels at this point are bringing 29¢
or 30c each. He reports also that a good stave sawyer ought to put
out on an average 8,000 pieces per day.

Contraction in Imports of Timber Forecasted.

While the stocks held in Melbourne on June 30 last were not far
short of the usual average, yet the sources of supplies were materially
altered.

The inability to arrange charters from the Pacific Coast gave New
Zealand timber mills an exceptional opportunity, of which full advan-
tage was taken, to increase their exports to Australia—particularly in
white pine and rimu.

With abnormal costs of all building materials, dearer money, and
increased taxation, speculative building has ceased in Australia, and,
on expert authority, the present outlook poimts to a marked contrac-
tion in importations of timber for some time to come.

The Serbian Timber Mills Near Melbourne.

Failure has followed the enterprise of the Australian capitalists
who, a few years ago, constructed large timber mills, equipped with
modern plant, near Melbourne, for cutting Siberian pine. The timber
was imported in logs, then duty free (now subject to 5 per cent.), in
comparison with the duty of 6 shillings per 100 superficial feet on
dressed timber.

The logs were comparatively small, but, despite considerable
waste in the cutting, the company expected to find a ready market for
flooring, lining, and weather boards in competition with Baltic timber,
which enters largely into the Victorian trade.

Increased oversea freights also contributed to the non-success of
the mills, but it is now admitted that the chief cause of failure was
that the first essential was the mills should have been erected along-
side the forests.

The mills, which were closed some time ago, are now- under offer
to the State Government of Victoria for the purpose—after necessary
alteration to the machinery—of cutting hardwoods on crown lands and
in connection with the established state timber seasoning plant.

A second reading has been given to a bill introduced into the
Quebec Legislative Assembly by Mr. R. Tourville (of the Tourville
Lumber Mill Company) amending article 1627 of the Revised Statutes.
This article, in its present form, provides that the holders of timber
limits and all persons having timber to float may, during the winter,
haul timber and provisions across the property of persons holding
lands within their limits, provided that they shall be liable to indem-
nify the owners for any damage they may cause. The amending bill
seeks to have the time limit changed from during the winter to all the
year.

Is Forestry a Business Proposit
An Outline of the Profits it Returns to the Government, the Public and the Lumberman—

Market Extension Fire Protection, and Timber Estimating.
By M. A. Grainger*

I remember, when we started the Forest Service in British Col-
umbia, many good people, and especially lumbermen and business
men connected with the industry, shook their heads very doubttully.
“The logging and sawmill industries of the province are business
propositions,” they said; “commercial propositions, which can only be
carried on by business men in a practical, business way.” Well, that
was five years ago, and since then we’ve carried on some forestry in
British Columbia, and I think people generally have a better notion
of what forestry is. I’ll tell you some of the forms forestry has taken
here.

Take selling lumber—that is forestry. Go through these enor-
mous timberlands of ours and size up the situation. What do you find?
You find this: Four-fifths of the annual growth, four-fifths of the
annual forest income, that Nature asks us every year to turn into dol-
lars, is wasted. We don’t use it; we take out a mere thirty million
dollars from the woods and leave the other four-fifths of one’s lumber-
ing prosperity behind. Why? Just because the markets for British
Columbia lumber are insufficient. What’s the remedy? Obviously
bigger markets and more of them. Get these markets and this appall-
ing waste of raw material will be stopped. Market extension means
true forest conservation; and that’s one reason why increasing the
markets for British Columbia lumber is true forestry, and why the for-
est service carries on its market work, co-operating with our lumber-
men in every way it can. You are familiar enough with the methods
we employ—they are the usual publicity methods, advertisemeits in
papers and periodicals, exhibits, and all that sort of thing. But the
essential part of the work is its punch, and the punch is delivered by
active, persistent, skilful, personal work by the man on the job.

It is not merely a question of finding new markets for British
Columbia lumber to be sold in. It is a question of protecting the mar-
kets we already have. . Where would the province be if any serious
proportion of its existing lumber business were wiped out? It could
not happen, you'll say; people have got to buy lumber; it is a staple
article, like wheat. Well, they’ve been carrying on a searching inves-
tigation into the lumber trade of the United States, and this is what
they've found as a result—just one-fifth of the entire lumber market
that existed eight years ago has been wiped out; wiped out by substi-
tutes—steel, concrete, bricks, patent roofing, asphalt paving; wiped
out in some cases because the substitute was the better article, but in
far too many cases simply because the makers of substitutes used
modern selling methods and the lumbering industry did not. There’s
no better selling method than giving good service to the consumer;
helping him to use your material and to get the best value out Of it.
That’s the method we’ve adopted in this business forestry, or forestry
business, of ours. Many a sale of British Columbia lumber has been
made this year to prairie farmers who have been supplied by us with
building plans and bills of material showing them how easily and well
they can build barns or sheds or chicken houses with British Columbia
lumber. And, just as we have done in this case, we hope to co-operate
with our lumbermen and get all the best selling methods carried out
in this community effort to increase the sale of British Columbia
lumber.

In short, persistent market work, provided it has a punch in it, is
one of the most practical methods of forest conservation. We’re not
the only pebble on the beach in this market work—our American
friends are putting over some progressive ideas. For instance, in the
interest of forestry they’ve allowed the export mills of the Pacific
Coast to form a selling combine, the Sherman law notwithstanding,
and they’re sending five lumber commissioners to strengthen their
grip upon European and other markets. It is interesting to note that
these five are being selected from candidates who have been put first
through a series of severe practical examinations, a new idea in for-
eign commercial service and a great change from the time-honored
method of giving foreign commercial jobs to good Americans with a
pull. :

Forest Protection—A Publicity Problem.

_ Now, take another side of forestry—the protection of standing
timber. Lots of people think this just means fighting forest fires, bit
that’s not the point at all. Forest protection means two distinct things.
Firstly, it means educating public opinion. Just as a breakfast food
company keeps banging away with advertisements in newspapers,
inside street cars, and on fences, until no conscientious family can sit

down to an ordinary breakfast without a guilty feeling that they’re -

neglecting their duty if they don’t eat “Fruit Skins” or “popped
wheat,” or some other patent breakfast food. Just as public opinion

Now this work of education is carried on to prevent

is simply this: Good organization, supervision, the traini:

work in which it is so fatally easy to waste large sums of mo

and experience. You can easily waste more money on som

Where Posterity Comes In.

Now I’ve touched on four aspects of forestry in Briti
forestry as selling British Columbia lumber, forestry <
tection, forestry as stock-taking of timber resources, and
collecting money. Too utilitarian you may say. How ab
ity? How about taking long views to safeguard the futu
about the development of a permanent forest policy? Do not
my meaning—these things must never be forgotten by any p

few topics as an after-luncheon speaker should. Forestry, in
broad conception, is merely a great form of agriculture—the harv
ing of Nature’s successive timber crops—and we in the West, in
business of harvesting the present enormous crop, must not negle
to safeguard, in every practicable way we can, the next crop that
now growing. aq

bers I think you will agree that we need a timber-testing laboratory
at the provincial university.

Dominion Government Constructing Wooden Vessels

An order-in-council has been passed by the Dominion Govern-
ment which will result in the development of closer trade relations
between Eastern and Western Canada, by way of,the water route
through the Panama Canal, at the same time promoting trade between
Canada and the West Indies. An immediate result will be the con-
struction of two vessels of 2,500 tons register each, one at. Vancouver
and the other at Victoria, to participate in this trade. The vessels will
be operated by the Department of Railways of the Dominion Govern-
ment. They will be constructed of wood, and will have sails and aux-
iliary power, similar to those now under construction for the export
lumber business, as provided for in legislation passed by the British
Columbia Legislature last winter. It is expected that they will be the
forerunners of much larger vessels to be placed by the Government
on the same routes at a later date.

Plant of the Brown Corporation at La Tuque, P. Q.

The accompanying illustrations give one an excellent idea of the
extent and layout of the plant of the Brown Corporation at La Tuque,
P.Q. This company succeeded the original incorporators, the Quebec
and St. Maurice Industrial Company. The mills are located at La
Tuque, which is situated a little over one hundred miles north of
Quebec city on the St. Maurice River, and has excellent water power
facilities. La Tuque is located on the line of two railroads, the Can-
adian Northern and the Transcontinental. The Brown Corporation
have splendid lumber manufacturing facilities, their sawmill, and plan-
ing mill being of the latest and best construction. The product of
these mills has a reputation second to none for being well manufac-
tured and of good grade. The company are making a specialty of
dressing lumber in transit and are giving very reasonable rates for
dressing, resawing and ripping. In fact they are making a specialty
at present of dressing and resawing in transit. In addition to their
lumber manufacturing facilities the company are extensive manufac-
turers of sulphate kraft paper.

British Columbia Exporters Co-operating

Arrangements have been completed in Victoria, B.C., between all
the exporting manufacturers of lumber in the province, with one
exception, to pool their output for export purposes and have it handled
by the Canadian Trading Company, which was incorporated for this
purpose recently under British Columbia legislation. This company,
through its connections in London and San Francisco, will be able to
guarantee tonnage for lumber shipments within. a very short time,
and has also chartered all the vessels now being built in British

Columbia yards for the lumber trade, with one exception.

Ottawa Foresters Hold Meeting

The first regular meeting of the Ottawa Foresters Club for the
present season was held recently, the president, Mr. R. H. Campbell,
director of forestry, occupying the chair. The chief event was an
address by Mr. Roland D. Craig, of the forestry staff of the Commis-
sion of Conservation, who spoke in regard to the forests of British
Columbia, illustrating his address with a number of magnificent pho-
tographs. An interesting discussion followed the address. Mr. Clyde
Leavitt, forester for the Commission of Conservation, who recently
attended the convention in Albany, N.Y., to discuss the best means of
fighting the white pine blister rust, gave an account of the proceedings -
at that meeting.

Canadians Interested in U.S. Freight Rate Discussion

The Interstate Commerce Commission of the United States
recently heard evidence in regard to the effect of the proposed increase
in freight rates on lumber shipments over the Bangor and Aroostock,
Maine Central, Canadian Pacific, and Canadian government railroads.
New England lumber dealers claim that the rates proposed are higher
than those in other sections of the conutry and would close them out
of the New York market, and to some extent out of the Long Island
Sound markets. A number of Canadian shippers also testified, stating
that the advanced rates would enable them to do business in Southern

New ‘England, where competition had formerly kept them out of the
market.

Catching Up to the Demand for Paper

According to the latest report of the News-Print Manufacturers’
Association, stocks of news-print on hand at Canadian and United
States mills showed a substantial increase during October, as com-
pared with the preceding month, the figures showing an increase of
about 1,800 tons, indicating that the mills were at least able to produce
in excess of shipments, which is taken to mean that the climax of the
unusually heavy demand that began in October, 1915, has been
reached and a decline has commenced. The report states, also, that it
is expected that from now on the mills will show a steadily increasing
accumulation of stocks.

Pencils Made in Canada

The William Cane & Sons Company, Limited, of Newmarket.
Ont., have been experimenting in the manufacture of lead pencils
since the outbreak of the war, with a view of replacing German-made
lead pencils by pencils made in Canada. They now announce that

they are in a position to supply the Canadian market with pencils
made in Canada.

out continually.

Dominion Fire Rangers’ Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the Dominion fire rangers was held at
Revelstoke, B.C., recently. Reports were presented by all the rangers
present, which showed that good results had been secured in the pre-
vention of forest fires. A number of resolutions were adopted, among
them being the following:

“That the provincial government be requested to extend the per-
mit period for the season from September 15 to September 30.”

“That the provincial government be requested in future when
constructing new roads to dispose of the debris as they go along,
instead of leaving it lying at the roadside, as it is a great fire danger.”

Toys Made of Wood

The accompanying photograph gives an idea of what is being
accomplished in Canada in the way of manufacturing wooden toys and
novelties to replace the lines that were formerly imported from Ger-
many. A study of this collection might offer suggestions from which
other articles could be evolved. There are undoubtedly many articles
that could be designed and worked out by studying the things that
children are most interested in. |

toy, gun, miniature wagons, etc., are articles that boys always clamor
for. Then, again, there is the quoit game (the shield-shaped board
with numbers on), swinging clubs, dumb bells, etc., for the older boys
and girls.

There is plenty of scope for the man with an inventive mind to
work out something that could be manufactured at a profit, but we

would strongly advise anyone going into the manufacture of wooden
toys and novelties to study the market carefully before going into it
to any extent, as there are undoubtedly some toys on the market
for which there is very little demand.

Wilfrid H. Pauze Conducting Successful Wholesale Trade
at Montreal

In. September last the firm of Pauze & Gohier, Cote des Neiges
Road, Montreal, was dissolved, and the business taken over by Mr.
Wilfrid H. Pauze, the partnership having lasted five years. Mr.
Pauze, who has been in the lumber business eighteen years and was
at one time a member of the Montreal City Council, specializes in
British Columbia lumber products, particularly British Columbia fir,
which has of late come into more extensive use in the East. His stock
covers about $80,000 worth of materials, including an extensive variety
of doors, mouldings, flooring, sheeting, verandah columns, turned
posts, British Columbia red cedar shingles, and red cedar clap boards,
in addition to Beaver boarding and Bishopric wall board. Besides
this, various lines of lumber are stocked.

Mr. Pauze has excellent facilities for handling doors, mouldings,

etc. The sheds cover an area of 2,000 feet, and the principal one of

three storeys is probably the largest in Montreal. It is arranged so as
to minimize handling, the stock being unloaded and loaded direct into
C.P.R. cars, which come into the yard over an 800-foot siding, running
alongside the sheds. The business is of a wholesale character.

An exhaustive catalogue in English and French is issued. Besides
this, Mr. Pauze reaches the trade through samples of standard pat-
terns of British Columbia mouldings, made up in sets of eight. Each
sample is numbered, which facilitates the ordering of any line. The
sets are put in such a form that they can be hung up in an office ready
for immediate use.

Forester Receives Important Appointment

John D. Gilmour, formerly with the Forest Branch of the Depart-
iment of Lands of British Columbia, has resigned in order to accept
the position of general logging superintendent of the Anglo-New-
foundland Development Company, Ltd., a branch of the Harmsworth
Company, owners and operators of immense pulpwood holdings in
Newfoundland. Mr. Gilmour will assume his new duties during Janu-
ary, and will be stationed at Grand Falls, Newfoundland. Mr. Gil-
mour is a 1908 graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College and also
of the Department of Forestry in the University of Toronto. He has
had experience in the employ of private lumber companies and also in
the Forest Branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Forest
Branch of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa. Since 1912 he
has been on the staff of the Forest Branch of the Department of Lands
of British Columbia, being district forester at Cranbrook from 1912 to
1915 and on the head office staff at Victoria during the past year.

Sees a Great Future for Western Canada Trade

Mr. Austin A. Briggs, advertising manager of the. Dunlop Tire |
and Rubber Goods Company, Toronto, returned recently from a busi-
ness trip through Canada, including a visit to Alaska. Speaking of
his experience to a representative of the Canada Lumberman, Mr.
Briggs said that, next to the kindness of the Western Canadians, the
most outstanding impression upon his mind was made by the anti-
quated immigration regulations kept in force by the United States in
Alaska. The same regulations that existed at the time of the gold
rush in 1898 seemed to prevail still. Most of the people going to
Alaska, Mr. Briggs said, were from the United States or from Western
Canada, the majority of them being tourists. The best time for tour-
ists to visit that country was in the month of June. Mr. Briggs visited

a number of western points, and was greatly impressed with the im- —

mensity both of Canada’s industrial progress and her possibilities.
He also called upon the branches of his company at Victoria, Van-
couver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Regina, and toured the
country in the vicinity of these branches in order to get a grasp of
the opportunities for business in their particular lines. He has re-
turned with a great fund of enthusiasm in regard to the outlook for
the country’s western organization and the prospects for greatly in-
creased business.

Saskatchewan Output will be Large

Reports from Prince Albert, Sask., indicate that extensive woods
operations will be carried on by the Prince Albert and Big River lum-
ber companies during the coming winter, and that woodsmen are
already going into the bush in considerable numbers. Altogether
between four and five thousand men are needed by the two companies
for this winter’s operations, and the indications are that the supply of
labor will be scarce. ‘

The chief subject of discussion among the lumber trade of Ontario
continues to be the situation in connection with logging operations
during the winter. Unquestionably there will be a greatly ioe,
output of logs, and the cost of taking them out will be far in excess :
anything ever experienced in previous years. When these logs ae
the mills next spring they will be few in number and high in cost, an
the mills themselves will undoubtedly be facing a serious shortage of
labor, so that the manufacturing costs will be increased to a greater
extent even than the cost of logs. There is only one way out of such
a situation for the manufacturer. Prices will have to be increased
next year. The extent of the increase cannot be determined until
fairly complete returns have been secured of the winter's operations,
and some insight is had into the labor situation that is to prevail next
year. Moreover, the outlook at present is that there will be a normal
demand for lumber next year, and this will be an added influence in
the direction of stiffening up prices.

The quantity of hemlock taken out of the woods during this win-
ter will probably amount to only about 40 per cent. of that which came
out last winter. A curtailment is also certain in the output of red
pine. Last year the red pine output was almost 40 per cent. below
that of 1915, so that a decrease this year will have a most important
effect upon the trade situation in this particular line of lumber. Quite
a number of important white pine manufacturers are not taking out
any logs this winter, and those who are operating are finding it very
difficult to obtain sufficient labor. Some operators are remaining out
of the woods because of the high cost of logging, while others are
doing so because of the probability that, even if they got a fair supply
of logs at a reasonable cost, the expense of sawing them into lumber
next year may be too great to warrant any mill operations.

There is nothing to report in connection with the trade situation
beyond the fact that prices continue to stiffen, as will be seen by .con-
sulting our quotations elsewhere in this issue. The extraordinary
demand for lumber as material for war purposes has resulted in the
low grades being practically all shipped out from the mills, while the
upper grades have been meeting with a fairly satisfactory demand of
anormal nature. There is very little spruce of any kind to be obtained
in Ontario to-day.

Eastern Canada.

The lumber trade at Montreal shows no important change, being
still in a-fairly satisfactory condition for this time of year. The large
amount of shell box orders continues to assist in the movement of
stocks. Enquiries are quite plentiful, the real difficulty being that of
obtaining stocks of dry lumber. Many manufacturers report that they
have nothing on hand to sell. The situation is such that wholesalers
are predicting further advances in prices of pine and spruce, to the
extent of from $1 to $3 per thousand feet. There is a fair volume of
building demand, and the outlook in this connection is improving.
The export season has come to an end, and shows:an increase in the
total of shipments from Montreal during the year 1916, which is con-
sidered satisfactory in view of all the difficulties the trade has had to
meet. :

Abnormal conditions continue to prevail in the St. John market.
The price of deals is far beyond anything ever experienced, but as
there are practically no stocks left for sale, the manufacturers are not
much interested in the situation.
small stocks for spot delivery are getting as high as $25 per M. feet for
deals of the poorest specifications. This is a situation which is not
expected to keep up indefinitely, but probably will last for some time
yet. The French and English Governments have purchased large
quantities of deals for trench work, and extensive shipments are now
going forward from St. John. Even if the manufacturer were selling
much stock at these prices he would not be making a great profit to-
day, as logging costs are so excessive. It looks as though practically
all the St. John mills will be closed down shortly. Logging operations
have not been very successful up to date, on account of the unfavor-
able weather for yarding. The local trade at St. John is fairly active,
but not much is looked for during the winter months. Stocks of mer-
chantable spruce boards are light and prices have advanced. Shingles
are scarce at St. John, and are likely to continue throughout the win-
ter. The box business is very brisk.

Boston wholesalers are not experiencing any difficulty in main-
taining quotations on a firm basis. The base price for 8 in. frames is
strong at $30, and $31 is asked for 9 in., $32 for 10 in., $33 for 11 in. or
12 in. frames. Even on this basis sellers will not promise delivery in
less than a month. Stocks of random are also light, and quotations
are firm on the following basis: 2 x 3, $24; 2 x 4, $25;2x 6and 2x7,

$24: 2 x 8, $28; 2 x 9, $29, and 2 x 12, $30. Stocks of 2x 8 are very

are firm, and good covering boards, 5 in. and up wide, 8 ft. and up long, —
bring $22. The hardwood market at Boston is firm, and prices include ©
the following for 1 in. first and seconds: Basswood, $44 to $46; maple,
$42 to $45; red birch, $57 to $59; sap birch, $47 to $49. Hemlock is |
also in good demand at Boston, plenty of sales of clipped hemlock —
boards being reported at $22. The railroad situation has great
reduced competition from Southern roofers. Shingles also are firm at~
Boston, and retailers are having difficulty in securing supplies. The
lowest price for extra white cedars is $3.60. The range on white clears
is $3.30 to $3.50, but some manufacturers are asking more. New |
Brunswick manufacturers are having difficulty in getting cars to make —
delivery. The lath market at Boston continues active and strong.
Some sellers are now asking $4.65 for 154% in. For 1% in. the marke
is firm at $3.90.
United States.

‘The car shortage in the United States appears to be just as acute —
still as it has been since the beginning of autumn. Shipments of lum-
ber designated for government use and materials that are to be used
by the railroads themselves are being moved regularly, but all other
stocks are being delayed. Railroad companies are buying large quan- —
tities of cars and increasing their rolling stock as rapidly as possible. —
They have never before been required to handle such enormous traffic
as during recent months. Business conditions throughout the United
States continue favorable, so far as producers and dealers are con-
cerned, though the consumer is having a pretty bad time of it, as prices
are advancing constantly in practically every line. Even lumber has”
begun to take a share in the increase. Building operations are still
extensive in all parts of the country, the winter season not having had
any effect as yet in the way of reducing the volume of building opera-

and the lumber trade is feeling the benefits of this situation.

Manufacturers in Pacific coast states are feeling the car shortage
seriously. Reports from 130 mills show unshipped orders on hand for
rail delivery of 10,779 carloads of lumber. Shingle mills are also
experiencing great difficulty in making shipment. Pacific Northwest

“4

. 5 A a

~mills are operating at less than normal capacity, production for the ‘

latest week under report being 14.72 per cent. below normal, while

orders were 2.61 per cent. in excess of production. Extensive ship-
ments are reported from Bellingham, Wash., to Australia. A number a
of Southern pine mills which recently withdrew from the markeet 7
have succeeded in shipping out all the business they had on hand, and ’
are expecting new business at the advanced prices which recently "a
came into effect. Southern pine manufacturers in general are now “
securing much more satisfactory prices than previous to the develep- — :

ment of the car shortage. 4

The -hardwood situation is similar in many respects to that inthe __
soft woods. The demand is quite up to normal, and is steadily increas- a
ing, while buyers are urging manufacturers for prompt deliveries.
Northern hardwoods are all in strong demand, and prices are being
advanced. Stocks of birch, maple, and basswood are low, and the \
demand is exceptionally strong, so that buyers are finding it hard to” he
fill their requirements, particularly for thick stock. Hemlock manu-
lacturers are enjoying splendid trade, and stocks at mill points have
been greatly decreased. » A very satisfactory volume of trade is
reported in Northern white pine, but difficulty continues in regard to
obtaining shipments, on account of car shortage and the inability of
manufacturers to supply the demand for uppers and thick stocks as”
fast as required. Price advances have been reported on white pine.

Great Britain.

The trade situation in Great Britain shows no change of late, and ~
this is a satisfactory report to be able to make, both from buyers’
and sellers’ points of view. Although prices are pretty dear for the
buyers, they are making good profits, and as to sellers, they are ex-
pecting still higher prices in 1917. It is generally concluded that con-
tracts at current c.i.f. prices are good business. The demand is well
sustained. Stocks in shape for immediate delivery are moderate, and
are bringing good profits to their owners. A continuation of present
conditions must involve a steady advance in prices in Great Britain.
Spot prices are now very firm, and no one seems to imagine that they
are likely to fall for some time to come. From the merchant’s point
of view, the market is established for the winter, although some are
looking for further considerable advances. ;

At Liverpool there is a general belief on the part of merchants “J
that present-day values for both hard woods and soft woods are not sig?

anything like as high as they may ultimately become as a result of
shortage of shipping accommodation and other important factors. In
the near future they are looking for another upward tendency. The
actual consumption of timber is much smaller than it was some
months ago, but importations have been restricted abnormally, and
trade has suffered by the migration of labor to other lines. Sales of
timber have been growing smaller, but stocks are now depleted to a
serious extent, and arrivals are even smaller in proportion. Stocks of
spruce at Liverpool are considerable, but much of this has already
been sold, and prices are advancing. Recent quotations for scantlings
were about £26. Quotations for 3 x 7 in. were £27 10s.; 3 x 9 in.,

Market Correspondence

Montreal Trade Continues on Sound Basis

Montreal, December 12.—(Special to the Canada Lumberman. )—
There is little change in the situation, the market being still in a satis-
factory condition, having regard to the time of the year. Were it not
for the demand for shell box orders the position would not be anything
like as good ‘as it is. Wholesalers do not complain of the lack of
enquiries, but of the great difficulty of obtaining dry lumber. Manu-

facturers in many instances say they have nothing to sell so far as dry

stock is concerned, or that lists are withdrawn and quotations can only
be secured on enquiry. \Vholesalers state that prices are advancing,
and they will have to pay at the least from one to three dollars more
for pine and spruce, while some manufacturers are by no means in a
hurry to sell the new cut, believing that the market will go still higher
next year.

Several building contracts have just been let, and the demand
from this source is fair. The erection of a large munitions plant in
the east end of the city resulted in some excellent orders. There
appears to be a decidedly more optimistic feeling as to the building
outlook. The number of empty houses has decreased, and more capital
is being invested in buildings, although some of these are necessitated
by war requirements. The recent revival is shown by the building
permits of last month, which are valued at $865,530, against $435,745
in November of 1915. ;

The export season closed the first week in this month, when the
shippers rushed all that was possible to be taken. As a whole, the
year has been better than was at first expected, and tonnage, although
scarce, was more plentiful than first anticipations foreshadowed. The
falling off in British requirements checked exports during part of the
season, some firms declining to ship with freights at such high figures
and markets uncertain. The situation so far as space is concerned was
relieved somewhat by the engagement of tramps, which loaded here
and also at lower ports. Freights were as high as 400s. per standard,
but they had a smart decline, falling 90s. in the course of a week. This
rather upset calculations, and for a time little lumber was sent for-
ward, exporters not caring to take chances on a falling market and
being in the dark as to how far the decline would go. They naturally
desired to get the best rates, and held their hands until the market was
on a more stable basis. The lowest point touched was 200s. per stan-
dard, and the latest quotations were around 300s. .

St. John Markets Quite Abnormal _ UE ere
St. Tohn, N.B., December 7—(Special to the Canada Lumbeiman.)

—-The St. John market is in the most abnormal state on record. Prices a
for deals are beyond anything before experienced, but practically ne
stocks are left for sale. So the situation means very little to the mi oH a
man who disposed of his goods a year ago. Millers who have goods eon
for spot delivery are getting unheard-of prices, $25 per M. feet eee: et oe
a very reasonable price for deals of the poorest specifications. This,
of course, is not expected to keep up, but no doubt a good market _ a
will be had for a considerable time. Large quantities of deals have
been purchased by both the French and English Governments fo
trench work, and are now going forward from St. John, N.B., in larg
quantities ; but, even though these prices are being paid for spot deliv- |
eries, it leaves the miller in a very poor position. The man who has
logs to sell thinks that this will-keep on forever, as does also the labor-
ing man, both of whom are selling their products at high prices: 1f
anything should happen—and no doubt it will—to lessen the prices f ;
lumber, the mill man must be the loser, as he will have to pay all th
increased costs, and is taking a long.chance on the market. Labor
St. John is very scarce, the men having gone to the winter port w
forcing all the mills excepting one or two into idleness. It will 1
only a few weeks until the other mills also will be silent.” It is ver
hard upon the manufacturer, whose season is very short at the best,
be forced to close up his mill at least a month earlier than usual. The |
American market also remains very firm, showing no signs of weaken- __
ing at the present moment. The base price in New England has __
reached $30 per M. feet. The New York market also is firm, but there
is very little, if any, lumber to go to this market from St. John. a
Freights are higher than early in the season, liners being now quoted
at around 300 shillings, against 210 shillings early in the season. Many
firms are making large commissions on the freights secured early.
The getting of logs is progressing very slowly as the weather up
to date has been very much against it, being unfavorable for yarding.
The woods have been wet, and any swampy country has not been get-
at-able at all. Logs are surely going to cost the operators a good
price. If anything happens to the operator’s market he will lose very
heavily. it

quence will be undertaken this year. The winter months will probably
be extremely dull.
Stocks of merchantable spruce boards are very limited, indeed,
and prices have also advanced.

The Corbet Automatic Steam Towing Winch

The accompanying illustration represents the Corbet automatic
steam towing winch, manufactured by the Corbet Foundry and Ma-
chine Company, Ltd., Owen Sound, Ont. There are many features
in connection with this winch that commend it for the use of all who
make use of towing apparatus. In the first place, it permits the use of
steel flexible cable, instead of the old-fashioned Manilla rope. All
marine men will appreciate the importance of this feature, knowing
that when using Manilla tow lines they have to purchase a new one
every year, whereas the steel cable will last at least fifteen years.
They will thus be able to save in a short time sufficient to pay for one
of these steam towing winches.

In the second place, a substantial saving is effected in the labor
cost. The use of the Corbet steam towing winch does away with the
assistance of one or two men on each tug, thus cutting the cost of
operation considerably. In addition to these features it is important
to note that the steam towing winch is a great time saver in the
operation of the tug, as a raft or scow can be brought close to the tug
while the latter is ander way. Another important feature is the addi-
tion of a spool, which can be operated independently from the drum
by means of a friction between the gear and drum, thus permitting the
machine to serve two purposes at one time. The winch shown in the
illustration accommodates 1,050 feet of 1-foot hawser, or 950 feet of
1 1/16-foot hawser, which passes through the automatic hawser leader.

Corbet Automatic Steam Towing Winch

The leader travels to and fro across the front of the machine, thus
preventing the hawser from climbing on top of itself on the drum and
permitting the hawser to be drawn in when the tug is at any angle
with the article it has in tow.

The machine is operated by one lever, which starts, stops, and
reverses, only one man being required to operate it. These machines
are now installed on some of the best tugs on the lakes, and have
already had thorough testing. Those who are using them have sent
in enthusiastic letters of recommendation.

The bed of the winch shown in the illustration occupies a deck
space of 5 ft. 3 in. x 5 ft.3 in. The engine is made up of two 8 in. x 8
in. cylinders, which operate the drum and spool by a pinion 10 in. in
diameter on the crank shaft and a gear 42 in. diameter x 4 in. face on
the drum shaft, thus giving the machine abundance of power.

This description of the machine will show tug owners that it is a
very valuable piece of equipment for their work. The machine is
made in four sizes, each size accommodating two sizes of hawser, viz.:

Deck space required.

No.-1 machine will accommodate 1,200 ft. 34 in. hawser 4 sq. ft.
: 1,000 ft. % in. hawser
No. 2 marchine will accommodate 1,050 ft. 1 in. hawser SuSg. tt.

950 ft. 11/16 in. hawser

No. 3 machine will accommodate 1,500 ft.14% in. hawser 6 sq ft.
; 1,350 ft. 1% in. hawser
No. 4 machine will accommodate 1,600 ft. 134 in hawser 7 sq. ft.

1,400 ft. 1% in. hawser

The engines in Nos. 1, 3, and 4 sizes are placed outside of the
frames, so as to permit the machine to be built more compact and
lower, thus preventing the tug from being tipped when pulling at right
angles with the tow.

Two wealthy young students at Yale University who disappeared
on November 4th were recently located working in a lumber camp
near Prince Albert, Sask. The fathers immediately left for the woods
to bring their boys home.

Cost of Production Always Ahead

Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Manufacturers Find
Selling Price Still Behind the Cost .

At the regular fall meeting of the Northern Hemlock and Hard-
wood Manufacturers’ Association an address was delivered by Mr.
E. A. Hamar, who discussed the increased cost of logging and manu-
facturing in the following manner :—

We all remember last year’s heavy losses with chagrin, and we
are not looking forward to a repetition of that disastrous experience
with any degree of pleasure. Why did we operate at all during that
year? I remember talking to a manufacturer in another line at that
time who seemed to be very much surprised to think we would con-
tinue to manufacture at a loss. He asked: “Why don’t you shut
down?”
indicate red and are on the wrong side of the balance sheet?

The whole trouble with us is, that we do our figuring afterwards “4

instead of before. We are optimists and not opportunists. I think

this is the history of the industry, and therein lies one of its greatest

weaknesses.
There are a great many ways of figuring the cost of lumber, and
perhaps most of them are right; but we cannot get away from the

fact that it consists primarily of cost of stumpage, carrying charges, —

logging, freights, mill operating costs and administration expenses.
On a basis of $2.50 to $3.00 for stumpage I dare say that nearly all
of our members lost money last year and very few are making any
this year; (1 am speaking now and this discussion deals only with
those members manufacturing largely hemlock and the lower priced

hardwoods, for there are a number of plants still cutting a large amount

of pine and high-priced hardwoods to which these figures would not
apply. Conditions have been materially improved this year through
foreign intervention. Lumber, however, has been a laggard; so that
we have not been as fortunate as the other fellows; especially those
manufacturing iron, copper and brass goods. These manufacturers
and others have had very handsome advances; while on the other
hand, owing to the very same causes, lumber continued down the to-
boggan well into the last half of the past year, since which time we
have had a gradual increase in prices. This increase was forced by
conditions over which we had no control, until at the present time
we. have an advance of about 15 per cent. Compare this with an
increase of 10 to 20 per cent. in wages and an increase in mill and
camp supplies, with the possible exception of hay, of 20 to 100 per cent.

For the sake of arriving at something concrete let us assume
that we lost $1.00 per thousand last year (I know, of course, none of
you will admit to losing that much), add to this loss $1.00 per thous-
and increase in logging and 60 cents increase in operation at the plant,
we show that an increase of $2.60 in price is necessary to let us out
even. We have no more than had this advance. Or putting it another

way, we might summarize as follows: ,

Our present selling price of hemlock at $1.50 to $2.00 off list prices
is netting us about an average of $15.25 to $15.50 for all grades, No.
3 and better or for the product of the log; and maple is not doing
much better. It would appear from figures submitted that it is going
to keep us hustling to produce lumber the coming year at our pre-
sent selling price. In my judgment prevailing prices are $2.00 a
thousand too low. The market warrants an advance, and we are going
to get the advance, for we must have it. . ,

There seems to be one thing peculiar to the hemlock business,
and that is, that the cost of production keeps up with, and about two
jumps ahead of the selling price. Away back in the 90s we were sell-
ing for $9.50 and producing for about the same figure; in 1903 and
1904 we were up to $12.50 and the cost of production was still play-
ing tag. In 1917 it will cost us $15.50 to $16.00 to produce; I am
not wise enough, howeer, to guess at the selling price. Will it take
a lumber famine to put prices where they belong, and are we to have

a lumber famine? The only reason we have not an over-production

right now is owing to the shortage of labor and that shortage is

Sanitation and First Aid in Camps

Description of Plan Followed and Benefits Resulting from
Systematic Methods in a Southern Camp.

An interesting address upon the results of two years’ sanitation
and first aid in logging operations was delivered at the recent Southern
Logging Association meeting at New Orleans, La., by Dr. C. L. Vines,
physician of the-Crossett Lumber Company, Crossett, Ark. Although
the logging operations in the South are different in many respects
from those in Canada, there are a number of problems relating to the
health of employees which are common to both countries, and for this
reason we believe that many of our readers will be interested in Dr.
Vine’s address, which was in part as follows:

The problem of maintaining a constant and dependable supply of
material to a modern sawmill depends:as much upon the maintenance
of a body of men and-animals in their maximum of efficiency as upon
access to suitable timber and means for its transportation.

Experience has shown that to maintain an effective personnel in
camps the same careful attention is required as in permanent towns,
and good results will only be obtained when the former makeshifts of
medicine, surgery, and preventive medicine will have been supplanted
by modern methods. ‘The establishment of camps in remote regions,
away from the facilities of community life, has caused the development
_of highly efficient systems of camp sanitation, which, together with a
routine method of caring for injuries to minimize risk ae untoward
results, has made logging possible where formerly, because of insalu-.
brious conditions, it could not have been attempted.

The adoption of routine sanitary and preventive measures has
given such brilliant results in the two camps of the Crossett Lumber
Company that, as the title of this paper states, a description of the
work done and the results obtained in a short time should prove a
matter of interest for those in charge of logging under similar condi-
tions. The two camps of the Crossett Lumber Company supply the
mills at Crossett, Ark., with all their timber, and are located in the
lowlands of Southern Arkansas and Northern Louisiana, an average
distance of eight and twenty miles south of Crossett; the camps are
named Toler’s and Duncan’s, after the foremen in charge, and here are
maintained the woods crews and their families. The nearer camp—
Toler’s—was established four years ago, and is located on somewhat
rolling ground in a clearing of pine woods; drainage is excellent, the
off-flow being to the south and west, through two natural stream lines.
The lower camp—Duncan’s—was built one year ago, and is situated
on flat prairie land adjoining the woods; drainage of the camp site
here has been effected through the digging of ditches, which connect
into a common drain along “the main line of the railroad, by which
surface waters are carried well away from the camp. Each camp
accommodates about 115 families, or about a total of 900 in both, white
and colored in approximately the same numbers, of whom some 230
constitute the woods crews. All of the houses in both camps are trans-
portable, each room constituting a unit, which can be disconnected and
loaded on flat cars for moving. On installation the number of rooms
required are simply put together, the junction being effected through
accurately fitted doors. As now installed, the completed houses con-
sist of one, three, or five rooms, depending upon the space required by
the size of the families. All houses are electrically lighted, the cur-
rent being generated in each camp by steam power, from which the
street lights of the camp are also supplied. The water supply of both
camps is derived from driven wells, 112/feet in depth at Toler’s and 90
at Duncan’s, the water being pumped into overhead pressure tanks,
from which it is piped to all houses. The water at both camps has
been bacteriologically and chemically examined, and has been found
to be of an excellent quality. The water discharged from the houses
is collected in small ditches and quickly carried off. There is no
standing water or natural collections of water about either camp.

Closets are of the dry earth system, and are systematically
inspected and given attention; the contents are removed twice a week
during the summer season and lime applied; once a week during the
winter, by a scavenger, who hauls the material to points well beyond
the camps, where it is buried. The closets are limed during the week
by the householders. The public closets in both camps receive the
same treatment.

Garbage and household refuse are collected in closed galvanized
iron cans, from which the contents are removed once a week by the
scavenger.: There is a small barn in each camp for the accommoda-
tion of a few animals. The barns are cleaned daily, the manure being
hauled by the scavenger and buried.

One of the most effective measures with reference to the preven-
tion of illness and injury has been the broad use to which the Y.M.
C.A. organizations at both camps have been put. In accordance with
the principles of these institutions, their educational effectiveness has
been directed towards instruction of all of the people in the principles
of disease prevention. Illustrated lectures, demonstrations, and mov-
ing pictures of sanitary and first aid methods are given at frequent
intervals, and have proven very popular. An annual course in first aid
relief is given by the writer to all foremen, upon the satisfactory com-

Superiority of the Wooden Pulley

Analysis Proves It the Most Efficient and Least Expen-
sive Type to Maintain.

Editor’s Note—The most common appliance in mills, et
and machine shops is the pulley. Wherever belt transmission 1s ac
the pulley-is in service. The cost of installing and eee mills
where considerable machinery 1s employed constitutes a et ae
cent. of operating expenses. For that reason the pulley is as ‘ oe
interest to every man who uses one or more. The article Ww rich ol-
lows was prepared by the National Lumber Manufacturers Associa-
tion, and is reproduced from the Hardwood Record. si

Are you using wood pulleys or are you not? If, instead, habe are
using steel pulleys, you are paying some 50 per cent. more at the a
set for your pulleys than if you bought wood pulleys. In this a are
you getting 50 per cent. greater efficiency and durability, o1 ae
simply favoring the steel trust with a welcome contribution, which,
considering its source, it is more than glad to accept: ;

Wood pulleys have been on the market for over thirty years, and
that is too short a time to be able to say how long they will last. Mey
wood pulleys built thirty years ago are still in use and as good as hee
Steel pulleys have been on the market sixteen years, but owing to the
inevitable crystallization to which they are subject when in service,
this period has been more than long enough to demonstrate their
average length of life. So much for durability and its corresponding
lack in the two types of pulleys. ee

There is only one class of service for which a wood pulley is not
suited, and that is when exposed to excessive moisture, a service 1n

which a regular leather belt cannot be successfully used. In such —

service a wood pulley should not be used, nor a sheet steel pulley
either. Long continued exposure to excessive moisture will cause a
wood pulley to go to pieces. Moisture penetrating the riveted joints
of a steel pulley cause rust and corrosion, and in a short time the
joints work loose and the pulley is gone. The pulley for wet places is
the cast iron pulley. ?
Wooden Pulleys Are Cheaper.

The following table gives a comparison in price to the user be-
tween wood and steel pulleys. Only the most popular sizes are shown,
but the comparison holds equally true for all sizes:

Sizes. Wood. Steel. ~ Excess cost of steel.
ox 3 $ 1.16 $ 1.82 57 per cent.
12x 4 1.60 2.55 59

24x 6 3.96 6.02 52

36x 8 8.04 13.20 64
48 x 10 14.98 26.81 85

60 x 12 24.28 46.20. 90

Iron pulleys are even more expensive. Now, if you pay that much
more for iron and steel pulleys, you ought to get that much more
service out of them. But do you?

Wooden Pulleys Transmit More Power.
A number of years ago Haswell, the leading American authority

on mechanics, made a series of exhaustive tests of wood and iron-pul-—

leys, and the findings of these tests have never. been controverted.
Haswell proved that the coefficient of friction of belts running over
wood pulleys was 47 and over iron pulleys 24. That is, that with the
same belt tension you can transmit, even according to his conservative
figures, on the average nearly twice the power over a wood pulley that
you can over an iron pulley. Over a steel pulley you cannot transmit
so much even as you can over an iron pulley, for steel pulleys are
never perfectly round, and their faces are covered with high and low
spots, so that for both reasons the belt is prevented from coming in
perfect contact with the pulley face. This saving of power trans-
mitted, rather than waste in belt slippage, is very considerable in. the
course of a year.

Wooden Pulleys Weigh Less.

The following table of weights is instructive, especially in view of
-the claims of the steel pulley manufacturers that their pulleys are
light. These figures are approximate as representing several makes of
wood and steel pulleys, but the ratio of comparison is correct:

Sizes. Wood. . Steel. Excess weight of steel.
Gx 3 134 lbs. 7 Ibs. 300 per cent.
12x 4 8% lbs. 19 Ibs. 124
24x 6 31 Ibs. 41 Ibs. 32
‘36x. 8 79 |bs. 121 Ibs. 53
48 x 10 155 lbs. 245 Ibs. 58
60 x 12> 245 lbs. 384 Ibs. aye

What do you gain by putting this extra weight on your hangers
. and shafting? The answer is, nothing; while in addition you penal-
ize yourself severely every minute that your hangers and shafting
carry this weight, and every working minute that your engine has to
turn’ it... ; ; '

Keeping Co-operative Logging Co
By R. C. Staebner* ea
Keeping the cost of logging is, of course, necessary to the cc
of any well-ordered lumber business, for several reasons. Pro
production of any commodity can hardly be carried on with
ing what the finished product costs, and the logging costs is <
and often the largest, expense in lumber manufacture. Moreo
record of the logging cost is necessary to enable the manage
owners of any plant to know if their work is being done as chea
possible. Such records form a basis for comparing present w
vious work, thus enabling one to learn the corrett lessons fro
own experience. : iS

Doubtless all members of the congress keep a record of
ging cost, and probably none know exactly what it does cost

much of the expense of this work each should bear. For inci

It follows that a classification system must first be worked out—a
satisfactory and practical separation and definition of the sane
items of expense that are worth keeping separately. It is easier to do
this—to know what costs we want to keep separate—than it 1s to actu-
ally get the data for these accounts. _The greatest difficulty here is to
eet correct and intelligible distribution in the cost reports turned in
from the field, as they must usually be kept by the foremen, who often
have great difficulty in keeping a simple time book correctly. |

~ Suppose, however, that all this has been accomplished ; that we
have before us a correct and complete record and proper distribution
of all the costs for two stated periods on the same operation. We
want to learn what we can from these data—what the cost is and why;
is it too large, can it be lessened, and how? Our first impulse is to
compare them, item by item. But, after all, we cannot learn much
from this cost sheet unless we are very familiar with all the conditions
under which the work was done. Because the cost of logging depends
on a great many varying factors, such as topography, soil, and rocks,
species, size, and distribution of timber, character of undergrowth,
weather conditions, character and efficiency of labor and supervision,
efficiency of equipment and machinery, and so on. So that a higher
figure now actually represent more efficient logging than the lower,
because done under harder conditions.

However, such a set of cost sheets on any single operation, used
with experience and judgment by men thoroughly familiar with all the
conditions on that job, is undoubtedly a great aid in keeping expense
in line, and the efficiency of the work where it ought to be, and is
worth all it costs.

What is the cheapest and most efficient method of logging? The
answer to this depends on the following points:

1. Is the actual accounting classification the same? Does every
item on each cost sheet include no more and no less than the corre-
sponding one on the others? Most likely not, as the cost accounts of
the different members are at present kept.

2. Are all the influencing factors such as those outlined above,
which so largely determine the logging cost, the same for all the opera-
tions? Certainly not on any two operations we know of.

If it is possible and practical for all the members of an association
to adopt a uniform classification of accounts, and if every member can
be sufficiently familiar with every operation, its methods and all the
influencing factors, then comparative costs will be of great benefit.

One association attempts a comparative cost sheet for the whole
logging operation, from the stump to the mill. This sheet requests a
_ statement from each member as to the costs of the different items of
the work, coupled with a great many specifications of the conditions
and methods which determine costs. For example, character of the
country, class of timber, number, rating, weights, models, etc., of the
different classes of locomotives, cars, skidders, and loaders, descrip-
tions of the track, stock, and tools, the organization of the crews and
methods of doing each kind of work, the character and efficiency of the
labor, and the wage scale. All this information is to be contained on
a single sheet about the size of an ordinary business: letterhead.

This is undoubtedly of some interest in a general way, but we do,

not believe it is of large practical valué in the solution of the logging
man’s problems. In the first place, when comparing costs we do not
know the exact weight to give each influencing factor, nor how to
weigh justly the composite of all. Furthermore, it is doubtful if,these
factors can be stated with sufficient definiteness to convey a clear im-
pression of the exact conditions.

It seems that the problem is too large to be handled in this way.
There are too many difficulties to be overcome. The solution rather
lies in breaking up the subject into smaller parts and tackling them
one at a time, into parts so small that the influencing conditions and
methods can be exactly known and measured and infelligently com-
pared. The comparative method that will yield us the most profitable
results is the one that will answer the questions. Am I doing any par-
ticular piece of work by the best method for the given conditions? If
the method is correct and the costs are out of line, does the fault lie
with the labor or the machinery and equipment?

We can arrive at this solution by keeping the labor and material
costs on a certain phase of logging, together with an exact record of
the influencing factors, then getting together and comparing our
results. We advocate, then, the assignment of a meeting, or a day, to
some particular phase of logging work, and going into it thoroughly in
all its details, asking each member to keep the cost -of all the items
going into this particular piece of work, together with a careful

_ description of the method used and exact data on the influencing fac-
tors.

The length of time such records should be kept depends on what
may be termed the unit ofthe work. As an example, the unit for the
skidder would naturally be a set, and the records should be kept from

the beginning to the completion of a set, whatever the actual time may
be.

For instance, a meeting might be assigned to the discussion and
comparison of overhead steam skidding costs, and records kept by
each member, somewhat as follows: :

1. A careful description of each set, with a topographic map, if
possible, and a statement of the character, size, and density of the
timber and the character and density of the undergrowth. :

2. The machine used, with specifications as to boiler, engines,
number and size of drums, their arrangement, and cost of the machine,
also the size and kind of lines used and the cost of rigging the machine.

3. Crew and wage scale, character and efficiency of the labor:

4. The method of rigging spar-trees, the type and size of blocks
used, the methods of putting out and changing the lines, and the costs —
of this work. 4

5. The method of working while skidding, distribution of crew,
average and maximum amounts skidded for each set, with the labor “a
cost of the same. ed

6. The method of moving from one set to another, the distance
moved, time consumed, and cost. a)

cae Lee
7. The amount and cost of coal, oil, waste, etc., used on each set.
8. The lost time due to weather conditions, breakdowns, ete. |
9. The total amount skidded and the total amount of‘labor and
supplies. 1 SE =

By keeping the cost of these items as set forth above we cam arrive
very closely at the actual cost of skidding for the conditions repre-
sented, except for the depreciation of machinery and wear on the lines,
which can only be obtained from longer time records. A eee .

At the end of such a discussion as this, if the matter were thor-
oughly gone into we would have a set of truly comparative figur DE, P
Because, besides the actual cost, we would have before us the methods —
and conditions which determined them. The members using stez
skidders would be able to judge accurately of the comparative «
ciency of each method and outfit under stated conditions, and the pos-
sible improvements in the details by adoption from others. Those
members not using overhead skidders should be in a position to decide
correctly if they were feasible under their own conditions, and to selec
the best machines and methods of using them, without going through
the long and expensive process of working the whole thing out by triz
and error. > ce

By going into every phase of logging work in this manner an
association could gradually compile a set of intelligible and working
data, which could be used to determine the best method of doing any “i

This offers, it seems to me, the only way to profit by comparative
costs, and the only chance for real advance in the science and art of
logging. It is the method by which the great advances in technical
processes in all modern industries have been worked out, a step at a
time, by studying in detail a certain phase of a process under condi-
tions that could be measured, disregarding for the time the other pro-
blems. It is the simplest and easiest method, and opens a way for the —
final solution, one at a time, of the numerous and complex problems | hile
confronting the logging man. It will bring results that we can usein
our daily work. It is practicable, and does not entail a rigid system of __
keeping accounts. It can be gathered as our daily work progresses, __
and without an undue amount of extra work nor a disturbance of our =
regular accounting system. Finally, the real problem of efficient log-
ging is the correct selection of detailed methods for each phase of the 4
work, which is most feasible after gathering a set of figures of this —

sort.

Robert Dollar Interests to Centre at Vancouver - ae

Mr. Robert Dollar, owner of the Dollar Steamship Line, was ¥
recently in Ottawa, and from there proceeded to Vancouver. He has
announced definitely that he will, in the near future, commence the
construction of a large sawmill on Burrard Inlet and that Vancouver a.
will be made the headquarters for his great line of steamships. It
is reported also from Vancouver that he has purchased the sawmill
at Ruskin, B.C., which formerly belonged to the E. H. Heaps Lumber __
Company, Limited. This plant has a daily capacity of 100,000 feet
of lumber and 500,000 shingles.

Lieut. George E. Bothwell Killed

Lieut. George E. Bothwell, formerly in the employ of the Forestry - _
Branch at Ottawa, is reported as having been killed at Courcelette. At
the recent meeting of the Foresters’ Club the president, Mr. R. H.
Campbell, reported that the manner in which Lieut. Bothwell met his
death was as follows: After a successful charge, Lieut. Bothwell’s unit
was rounding up a party of German prisoners who had surrendered in
a dugout. One of the prisoners retained possession of a revolver, and
when Lieut. Bothwell’s back was turned shot him through the back of
the head, and he died instantly.

According to estimates recently made, it now costs 40 per cent. —
more to construct a wooden vessel at Canadian Atlantic ports than
it did five years ago. rs Sean e

BARIENGER BRAKE
Saves Much Labor

This famous Barienger Braking Device will save you a
great amount of needless labor, especially in upland
logging operations. No need for costly roads,
no need for expensive sand- hilling, straw
hilling or other temporary methods
of bringing down the heavy
loads.

With a Barienger
Brake you can bring
much heavier loads down
otherwise impassable grades, even

when no road provision has been made
The safety feature alone is worth many times
its cost, besides the advantages of time and labor
saved. This Brake is not an experiment. We will be
glad to send you photographs and letters from many
Canadian lumber companies showing our device in_ successful
operation. It has been in use for years, and every user is enthusiastic
over the excellent results.

“Strength of Gibraltar,” while not our phrase, aptly applies to the
rubber belting made by us and sold under the name “Gibraltar Red-
special.”
sto sto de

It would be interesting to us if you, as a user of belting, would, before
making your next purchase, get a verdict on “Gibraltar” from some of
your friends.

fe fo fo

Ask them if a stronger belt than “Gibraltar” —one giving more service
with less loss of power—can be obtained anywhere; if any other product
will survive heavy loads better; and, if, in withstanding the jerky strains
consequent on fluctuation of power, any other belt can show a higher quality
of friction in uniting the plies than “ Gibraltar Redspecial.” —

We have evidence aplenty, in the form of voluntary testimony,
which shows that for strength, durability and general service “ Gibraltar
Redspecial”’ is matchless. In the Biggest Saw Mills, Biggest Pulp and
Paper Mills, Biggest Manufacturing Plants, one “driving force” is nearly
always in evidence—Dunlop “Gibraltar” Belting.

fe fe fe

For Drives, Rotaries, Edgers, Lath and Shingle Machines, or any kind
of Transmission work, there is nothing better than Dunlop “ Gibraltar
Redspecial” Belting.

Transmission Belting, Dunlop ‘‘Samson” ensures to users of Conveyor or

The Waterproof Wonder

Amphibia is more than a waterproof leather belt—it is really a waterproof
wonder. In the saw mill where rough, wet, oily conditions prevail and often
frost, you will find Amphibia the ONE belt that can ‘‘make good.”

The leather used is specially tanned from choice hides and manufactured into

A Service that
Others Cannot Afford

The B. F. Sturtevant Company not only builds
more fans than all competitors combined but
in addition offers better service to customers.
For their benefit there is maintained a Re-
search Department working specially to pro-
duce fans which will be “Better.”

The Research Department is entirely separate
from other branches of the business and their
sole object is to develop and improve our ap-
paratus entirely unhampered by the demands
of routine or commercial work.

| This constitutes a service that other fan man-
ufacturers whose facilities and resources are
much less cannot afford to give and is assur-
ance to customers that Sturtevant
Fans are of high efficiency and
of good mechanical construction.

Saw and Planing Mills

In a Goodhue Belt you get only the best leather with the stretch
taken out of it. A Goodhue Belt will always run evenly and
‘‘clings” to the pulley transmitting 100% of your power

For the wet places in the mill we have a special waterproof leather
belt—‘‘Acme.’’ Other Goodhue Belts are ‘‘Extra” and ‘‘Standard’”’ recommended according to
the conditions under which the belt has to run.

Goodhue Belts stretch less than any other belt by 15 to 25 per cent.

This is 1916
Not 1816

Only of comparatively late
years have we of the lumber and
timber industry begun to adopt modern
methods. In all too many cases we have not
yet begun.

The latest types of manage-

ment, machinery, manufacturing
methods, reclamation of by-products, mer-
chandising and advertising still have been
adopted all too grudgingly.

So in the buying, selling and
estimating of timberlands the 36
years’ experience of James D. Lacey & Com-
pany represent by far the most successful effort
to improve on the methods of a century ago, a
LACEY REPORT remains the one real
guarantee of virtually accurate knowledge of
stumpage values, and the International Files
of James D. Lacey & Company constitute by
Sar the greatest existing body of facts concern-
ing timberland ( both in and out of the market).

All our facilities are at your

SEFVICE in any timberland transaction.
It often transpires that we know more about
a tract of timber than the owner of it.

We should be pleased to send you our Booklet, ‘“Pointers.”?

This Pl th T ission Dri
has been. in steady use for six years in a certain New Hamp-
shire lumber mill. From each December to the following June
or July it has been run night and day. There are 18 ropes.
The sheaves are 11’ and 5’ 6” diameter and their centres 72’
apart. The engine generates 700 H.P.

Plymouth Manila Transmission Rope gives service of this
sort because it is made correctly from fiber of superior quality.

We also manufacture Plymouth Manila Rope for general
lumbering use, Plymouth Manila Mill Carriage Rope and
Plymouth Sisal Lathyarn—the most satisfactory and economi-
cal tie yarn on the market to-day.

Put your cordage problems up to us.’ We have specialized
at this business since 1824.

Locomotives on trunk line railroads have the advantage of

the best facilities for inspection and repairs.

Logging locomotives face different conditions. They must
work day after day in the hardest service, and often in

localities where repairs cannot be made without great

inconvenience. That is why we build our logging loco-
motives from interchangeable stock parts. With this
system every part must fit every other locomotive of the same size and design, and long delays waiting for

duplicate parts are avoided. Interchangeable parts kept on hand at our Works for prompt shipment

No. 3 Lath Machine | |

For the mill whose requirements call for an enormous output, we recommend our No. 3 Lath Machine.

Designed primarily to work in conjunction with our No. 4 and No. 3 Bolters. The well known capa-

cities of these Bolters, both in quantity and quality, will give you an idea of the product turned out by our
No. 3 Lath Machine.

Covering a period of years, we have placed these Lath Machines in all parts of Canada.

The reputation they have established has led to repeat sales in the majority of cases where increased
capacity was desired.

Simple in construction, strong in frame and bearings, with all parts easily accessible for adjustment,

our No. 3 Lath Machine is without doubt the leader in this field.
