Himselt an expert lumber- man and a man of accurate information, Mr Charlton's tigares are worth record- iug. In brief, Mr Charlton secs enough pine timber standing to last 150 years at the present. rate ot eutting-this does not consider xetoresnng .and reglowl --.and an asset worth at least $100,000, (KO. He figures it out that there are 26,000 square miles of timbered land in Ontario west oi the Ottawa River and south ofthe 48th parallel of lati- tude, and in Rainy River District. Reckoning this ata million feet to the square mile, he concludes that there are tWenty-six billion teet board men- sure,oi timber yet to be cut. at Car- rent rates, this timber is worthito the Government $91,LX)0,LXX). Add ‘0 this the Crown dues on the eight billion feet under license, and get another 39,000,0U). In this way Mr Charlton nrrivos at his estimate of $10d,(j0J,(rhl. Milch Cows-A _few As a matter of fact. Mr Charlton. rather under than owr the mark Timber sales in the tuturv are likely to bring more money. Since Confedera- tion the, dues have imweawd from 50 cents to $1.25, which shows that‘ the tendency has been upward. . In his calculation Mr Charlton leaves out ofthe reckoning the dues on the Monty- six thousand square miles to be sold. That would give hint another 932,001, 000, and bring his estimate up to 132,0(D,(D0. His estimate of the number otTeet standing may likewise be too modest. As he himself pointed out, the Government report of 1893 estimated thntwthere were ten billion feeton the 20,000 square miles then under lieense. As a matter ot fact, ten [ billion feet has been taken off, and Mr lCharlton estimates that eight billion feet are still standing. Ofeourse. there have been two small timber sales since the estimate of 1896 was made. So far Mr Charlton was talking about pine timber. He said very little about pulpw00d, except to estimate that there were about 288,000,000 cords l available in the northern areas of On- tario, explored during the Bummer. Mr Charlton averaged the pulp-wood " five, cords to the acre, although Col. Matheson estimated the Clergue con- cession at ten cords to the acre. How- I ever, again Mr Charlton preferredto I err on the safe side, and kept his l estimate down to 288,aD,000 cords. At 40 cents a cord. which is the price "can". -..........

At a public meeting in the Town Hall the pros and cons of the steps already taken to push the works were all discussed with perfect frankness by many citizens of the town " well as by Mr. Cowhem and his colleagues. Questions were asked and answered and in the main satisfaction was expressed that the prospects of the National Portland Cement Co. were so good. A strong com- mittee was formed, composed of Messrs H. Parker, John Mekeehnie, Jae. A. Hunter, Wm. Calder, Arthur Jackson and these in company with Mr. Gilbert MeKechnie discussed with Mr Cowham questions of free site, exemption from taxation and other kindred matters. The matter of making calls about which there was some uncertainty, was definitely settled by written agreement. The calls are not to be oftencr than monthly nor more than 10 per cent. The "halt" we spoke oftwo weeks ago isover. The committee are sat» isfied that on it goes ahd stock-taking has been resumed locally. The Di- rectors have gone oat throughout the Province and when a sum of $300,001 _ stock has been disposed of an election ofdircetors will take place and a Dur- l ham man will be on the board. . . . --- -" LANA unl- , ham man will be on the board. The aim is to get to work with the opening of spring, near at hand now; the duty of the hour is for everyone to rally to the support of this great industry which promises to be superior to anything in the cement line in Canada. It is morally certain to be a safe investment and moat desirable that as much as possible be subscribed at home so that profits in dividends may remain in the district as well as the protit from a civic point of view. On Monday evening Mr. Calder received instructions to have the lakes surveyed and certain options purchased. This will be done forthwith. Twenty-eight Ottawa M. Pig. left on Monday for Cement city to see for them- selves before subscribing and it is expected that from these alone tt00,000 will be res lized. We shall from time to time keep our readers informed of progress made or steps taken. Meanwhile the books are open at Mekeehnie's More and We hope to see I. large enrollment. beyond the 9100.000 already subscribed.

Mr Charlton will have anotho pr $115,000,000, to add to his reckoning. In pine and pulpwood the Province has, therefore. according to Mr Charlton's computation, an asset worth 8247,000,. Mr Charlton brought forward two interesting points outside his estimates. He showed that in the six years from I 1866 to 1872 there were sold 5,666 squ. l, miles: and in the 28 years of Liberal rule 4,546 square miles. That is, the former Governments sold at the rateof Farmers and dairymen aiming to have the beat in this line afford to overlook our stock.
