Make Dominion Ideal Country for Development of Five Hundred Million Invested --Quebec Has Largest Newsprint | and Largest Kraft Mill in World, HE Dominion of Canada .is te- day the second argest producer of pulp and paper in'the world, ranking next to the United States in the manufacture of these: commodities and the pulp and paper industry now occupies the leading position among the manufacturing industries of this country, The important position to which Canada has attained in this respect in the last twelve or fourteen years ig due mainly to her wonderful resources of forests and water- powers, In 1913 there were 48 pulp and paper mills in this country while in 1926 the number had ineréased to 115 mills, The value of the pulp and paper _ produced Annually in these mills is now over $270,000,000 and the exports alone in 1927 were valued at_$176,600,000. It is estimated that Canada's pulp- wood forest area amounts to 330,000 Snare miles and while a good deal of the wood on this area is not avail- able for the production of pulp and paper under present conditions, these orm an asset of tremendous value and possess great possibilities for future development. Available water- powers in Canada have been esti- mated at over 18 million horse-power and at the present time over 1,000,- 000 horse-power (is being utilized by the pulp and paper companies, The development of these natural re- sources has gone hand in hand and in most cases the mills are establish- ed at a water-power site expansion being taken care of either at the original site or by the development of electrical energy close at hand, The growth of 'the the pulp and paper induatry is strikingly illus- trated by figures" showing the gon- sumption of wood for this purpose amounted to 483,000 cords; in 1913 for the first time, the consumption in Canadian mills exceeded the amount exported by a small margin and in 1926 the consumption had risen to over 4,000,000 cords or more than eight times the quantity wsed in 1908. This large increase in the consumption of weed is naturally reflected, jn. the figures showing the output of "wobd-pulp which increased from 307,000 tons in 1908 to no less than 3,280,000 tons in 1926. Leads World in Newsprint The principal grade of paper manu- factured in Canada is newsprint and in this branch" of industry the Do- minion is now the world's leading producer, The optput of this grade of paper in 1927 was 2,087,000 tons and the newsprint mills of Canada now haye a daily capacity of nearly 9,000 tops. The domestic consump- tion of newsprint is not large, being about 150, tons annually and the greater, part of the newsprint pro- uced' is exported, The principal market for Canadian newsprint is the United States and of the 2,087,000 tons produced in 1927, 1,882 tons were absorbed by that market. Can- adian newsprint, however, is well kriown in other countries and cop- siderable quantities are exported to South America, Australia, New Zea- Jand, Great Britain and other over- SEas countries. In' addition to newsprint paper Canada produces considerable quan- tities of other grades of paper such as bbok papers, writing papers, tapping, tissues and paperboards nd 'while, of course, the output of these grades is on a smaller scale jt ps growing in importance and Can- adian papers are well known in the arkets of the world. In 1917 the otal production of paper other than newsprint amounted to 114,993 tops ile dn 1926 the output had increas- d ta 377,000 tons or more than three mies 'as Progress W years. . apid Strides The pulp and paper industry is an pportant factor in the foreign trade pf Canada, as shown by the trade turns: giving the value of the ex- ports for this industry.

Canada's position as a producer of pulp and paper is well assured and will become more im- portant with the passage of time. The wonderful natural resources of the Dominion made it the logical home of this industry and the future holds promise for continued development and still greater progress, INK IS FACTOR FOR GOOD WORK ON A NEWSPAPER Impression Depends Even Quality of Spread THICKER THAN PAINT Modern Methods Call For Automatic Distribution and Control Good presswork, so necessary in turning out a first-class news. paper, is not possible unless those responsible for the last process in the art of printing are supplied with an ink that will work well on the multiplicity of rollers with which modern presses are equip- ped, and will show up to the hest advantage reprodugfions of photo- graphs, Thicker Than Paint Printers ink is made hy mixing best quality lampblack with boiled linseed oil, and carbon, to which a small quantity of soap and resin has heen added.

From the fountain the ink is car- ried to a series of distributing rollers by the fountain roller or ductor, and then to the form roll- ers, the number of which varies according to the size and capacity of the press. Little ink with plenty of rolling is one of the secrets of good presswork. The flow of ink in a modern press is automatically controlled. and the Orange Rivers, leaves here shortly.

Difficulties The rollers, used to ink double- demis and double-royal forms, were made from molasses and glue.
