A decade ago not a single ton of pulp- wood, mechanical or chemical, was manufactured in the Pacific coast Jtovince; in 1919 the total value of he products of this industry amounted to $12,654,257. To-day British Columbia stands third among the provinces of the Domin- ion in the amount of capital invested in the industry. The surprising rate at which this has grown in the last Jew Joars and is continuing to grow, is indicated in the jump effected be- tween 1917 and 1920. It was $22.- a in 1917 and $50,000,000 in This is a remarkable history of development of what will doubtless me one of the most important hdustries of 'the Pacific coast, but is more than probable that the decade will exhibit still more pid expansion. Great Britain and ter part of their paper supplies eyes are turned om Canada, and British Columbia possessing as t does the jeryest remaining stands of timber in world suitable' for HTT er A Pulpwood Ready for the Mills in British Columbia. ~~ < apart from the demand in the United United States are drawing the | the Ps I A the production of pulp and paper. The province's annual export to Australia already amounts_to more than 20,000 tons whilst the demand for pulp from the far east exceeds the Fat available supply. Of the 370,870,000 cords of pulp- wood estimated to exist in Western Canada, British Columbia is ersdit- ed with 2853870,000 cords, consist- ing of 'spruce, western hemlock, and balsam, whilst for the coa: es of pulp a certain amount o uglas fir is used. - It should also be pbserved here that British Colum- bia is highest among the provinces of the Dominion in the average pro- duction of pulp per cord of wood the mechanical process giving an average of 2485 pounds. : To-day there are only seven plants in British Columbia roducing pulp -- groundwood and chemical -- and newsprint. No other industry offers such boundless opportunities of de- velopment.
