A Wardrobe, and Paper Company's tages. If there is one business more than another which Canada may reason- ably hope to obtain a world's mono- poly of, that business is the making of pulp and paper. The pulp-wood forests of every other country except Scandinavia are depleted, and those of Scandinavia are not nearly so large as Canada's, while it is common knowledge that the pulp procured from the Norwegian forests is mv inferior to that made in Canada. A number of business men have re cognized Canada's position of advan: tage in this regard, and have organiz- ed the Atlantic pulp and paper com- pany, limited, with an authorized ca- pital of £3,000,000. At the present time $950,000 of seven per cent. cum ulative preference stock is offered to the public for sale at par, payments to be made in the usual instalments, The board of directorate contains such well-known names in the business world as W. C. Edwards, M.P., the Ottawa lunberman, R. ¥. Ellis, vice president of P. W. Ellis & Co., Toroh- to: Charles H. Waterous, president of the Waterous engine works, Brant ford: BR. H. Thompson, paper merch- ant, Bufialo; A, J. H. Eckhardt, Tor- onto; Charles Lyman, president the Lyman & Knox Co., Montreal; J. W. lomberman, Montreal ; Wm. M. Mcintyre, paper manufactur- er, late mechanical superintendent of the Laurentide pulp company; and W. R. P. Parker, barrister, Toronto. Those interested in the company are already congratulating themselves he- cause of the fact that since the pros pectus of the company was issued a few weeks ago, two offers for the pur- chase of the company's entire output of paper have been made. The offers are responsibly backed, and were not solicited. Either offer, if accepted, would pay preferred stock dividend, fixed charges, and leave a balance sufficient to pay a large dividend on the common stock. barring unforeseen contingencies, which can well be taken care of by the saw mill and sulphute pulp. neither of which are included in the foregoing offer. The advantages possessed by the company are: 1. An unlimited wood supply, near New Richmond, on the Baie des Chaleurs, wherf the mills are to be located; the limits contain ab out 193,200 acves, and the wood is mainly spruce, the king of pulp- woods, Enough pulpwood stands on the limit, it is estimated, to last six ty-five years, and spruce will repro duce itself in from twenuy-five to thir ty years. 2. The water-power on the Little Cascapedia river is adequate and cheaply obtainable, 3. Clear and pure water may be obtained with ease for the cleansing processes. The cost of living in the vicinity is low and wages will not be high. 5. The shipping facilities are unsurpassed. 6. And the manager, Mr. McIntyre. has had over twenty years' experience as a practical pulp man. It is predicted 4bat pulp and paper can be made more economically at New Richmond than anywhere else in America. Sutherland and Cameron, brokers, Ottawa, or the National trust company will furnish forms of application for stock. INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. Newsy Paragraphs Picked Up By Reporters On Their Rounds.
