l I . - > (I'M. :. ill THE DOMINION A Conservative Estimate Places These At Over Two Billion Cords on 265,000,000 Acres n ..â€"â€" Onnada to-day possesses the largest resources in the way of growing tim- ‘ber suitable for the manufacture ofl 'Dulp of any country in the world. The continued opening up of great mile- axes of new railroad brings this ever , 'more prominently before the eyes of the World. The result undoubtedly ' now is that this country holds the key ’to the future in the great pulp and paper industry. He would ban bold man who would attempt to calculate. in actual number of cords, or even in acreage, the extent of these resour- ces. in fact, the more. conservative. of our public men, as well as men Yi‘ifiiii‘ii'ed to speak from the forestry ’standpoint, frown upon the pretence to give actual estimates. Perhaps some of the closest work along this line was in connection with the On- tario Government's survey and ex- ploration work in Northern Ontario “some years ago, when an attempt was made to find out as approximately as possible the pulp wood contents of «each section covered by the survey hordes. Speaking ‘ of the territory inorth cf the Height of Land, the re- iport says: “There is little pine tim- ber. the trees being scattered and in- ‘ferior in quality. Some small areas .of red pine and some jack pine Were duet with, nearly all of these varieties ‘vfound being south of Lake‘Abitibi. ti‘he best areas for pulp wood are. on ’Low Bush and Circle ‘Rivers, with ,their tributaries, where it is estimated that anarea of 180 square miles will yield an average of seven cords to "the acre or about 80,000 cords. Along Little Abitibi River, between Harris ELake and the boundary, the pulp wood ‘is estimated at 760,000 cords. A belt reaching from Lower Abitibi Lake along the Abitibi River to Long Sault, eighty miles in length, will average seven cords to the acre. There are false considerable pulp wood areas to 'the west and north of Lower Abitibi Lake. District No. 2 embraces fifty- miles on each side of a base line run ‘west from the 198th mile post on the boundary line betWeen Nipissing and Algoma districts to the Missinabie River, about 100 miles, and also the * 'tract lying southerly along the mis- ‘sinahle River up to near Missinabie Lake. Of the territory explored, sixty per cent. will yield on an average five cords of spruce wood to the acre, in addition to other timber. The prevail- ing timber is spruce and poplar, there being no pine or hard wood. The spruce, especially along the river: banks, attains a size which renders it " valuable] for square timber, and the lpoplar isfllarge and abundant; par- ticularly on the Mattagami River. Special acres would cut fifteen cords~ . of spruce, other acres would cut tif- teen cords of spruce and ten of poplar. Some of these, if all the timber grow- . ing on them were made into cord wood, Would show 60 to 70 cords to ‘the acre." In the Northern Quebec,. it is safe to say that conditions are largely similar to those prevailing in the analagous parts of Ontaro, with the comparison in favor of Quebec, as regard to area. Indeed, of all the provinces, Quebec must take rank as the premier in regard not only to pulp wood production, but also to pulp wood still standing unutilized. British Columbia, it is recognized, has mil- ‘iions of acres from which large qaun- tities of wood can be cut, but it is Video recognized that the number of cords; is almost inealculable. The newly organized Forestry Department iln that province is busy making plans for comprehensive survey and chart work, and from the great energy with which they are starting out on their important work, great things may be expected. The tremendous difficul- ties in the way of having qualified men collecting reliable data in a country possessing such great natural obstacles as “a sea of mountains” and traversed by raging torrents are scarcely realized at their true value by the ordinary public. And the same thing applies to survey work in the: northern wilderness of Quebec and l Lniario. Nova Scotia is not generally credited with being one of the great lumber and pulp wood provinces, yet the; form no mean asset. Dr. Fer- now, who not long ago made a forest survey of that region, gives as his estimate an area of 5,500,000 acres under timber, with. 21,000,000 cords as the probable output, divided up as fol- lows: Mainland, 5,000,000 acres with 500,000 acres with 14,000,000 cords. New Brunswick contains large areas rinch .in pulp wood trees, but so far as we have seen, agonemas been SOUTHLAND SERENADERS. Salem, N. Y.. Sept. 18, 1912~The Culi- cert by the Serenaders in the M.

The team that finishes second wins $5,000 for its driver, while the third prize is half that amount. Occasionally there is a fourth prize, the hardships endured by the contestants and the weather con- ditions governing this award. Every man that enters the contest realizes he is flirting with death, and it is this risk that adds to the interest. Every team has its admirers and a great dealrof money changes .hands on the result. Save ‘for a stretch of thirty-six miles, says E. R. Hinman, an Arctic explorer, the course lies through a barren, treeless waste and the contestants are compelled to cross a mountain range twiceâ€"going and comingâ€"before the end of the jour- .ney. Loose, dry snow covers the course and the entire country as far as the eye can reach. Kept in a eon- ; stant swirl by the bitter Arctic winds, , it blinds dogs and drivers and compels them to stagger along andtrust to luck. The trail is staked with bits ‘ of hunting, but the shifting snow fre- qcently burics these guides and the teams wander around aimlessly for hours at a time, Leaving Nome the first fifty-two miles of the journey lie across the ice of Bering ices. Candle, 202 miles away, is the taming point. : Every precaution is takento see that. the race is honestly run. Each driver is photographed with his team at the starting point and he must bring un- der the finish wire all the dogs with which he starts, dead or alive. The receipt of any assistance on the jour- ney disqualifies him and he must have all his dogs with him every foot of the journey. At Candle each outfit is photographed again and the' pictures must correspond. The race is a‘ go as you please affair, the teams being started within fifteen minutes of one another. There are nine dogs to a ,team. Most of the animals are the Q native dogs of Alaska, but occasionally [there are trams of Siberian bounds and bird dogs in the trace. Teams ! composed of the latter breed won first [and second’prize five years ago, and that race was run under conditions that make it the most famous in the history of line event. Soon after the start a blizzard sets in which con- tinued for two days, and it was feared that all the contestants had perished.
