 terminal for Evansville. .\l this time Mr. Schultze is not receiving any 

 lumber via river, all of it being shipped by rail. The cost per car to get 

 the lumber to his yards is well over .$100 a car, depending, of course, on 

 the distance that the material has to be shipped. He said the cost is 

 eight or ten times greater than it would be if the lumber was shipped by 

 river.

Ben S. Woodhead, president of the American Wholesale Lumber Dealers' 

 Association, returned from a trip in the West and is very enthusiastic 

 over the fact that manufacturers are evincing a kindlier feeling toward 

 the association, and are ready to co-operate in making the compulsory 

 arbitration feature of the association one that will function to the benefit 

 of wholesaler, manufacturer and retailer. In fact, he expressed the opinion 

 that this principle alone would do more toward bringing the men conduct- 

 ing the lumber industry together than anything that could be put for- 

 ward. While away Mr. Woodhead attended district meetings of the asso- 

 ciation at Minneapolis, Spokane, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland and San 

 Francisco. 



The double circular with gang mill and power house of the Peavey-

 150,000 feet a day. An effort will be made to have it in operation by 

 January 1.

TORONTO 



The Shevlin-Clarke Lumber Company of Fort Frances, Ont., recent de- 

 fendants in government litigation, have successfully tendered on four 

 square miles of timber area in the north of the township of Halkirk, on 

 the north shore, and between Black Sturgeon Lake and Red Gut Bay, in 

 the district of Rainy River. This berth is said to be very advantageously 

 situated for the company's operations and is regarded by the Provincial 

 Department as containing very line timber. The Shevlin-Clarke Company 

 have just taken out supplementary letters patent to increase their capital 

 stock from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 by the creation of 1S,000 shares of 

 $100 each. 



The acceptance of the bid of W. T. McEachern of Port Arthur for timber 

 privileges upon a 75 square mile tract in the Nipigon Forest Reserve was 

 announced this week at the Ontario Parliament Buildings. The berths are 

 in the vicinity of the Jellicoe and Nezah stations. The timber is sold with 

 the condition that it be manufactured in Canada. 



The revision of the system of timber scaling was foreshadowed at a 

 discussion of the ultimate standardization of the scaling system during a 

 conference in Toronto recently between timber agents and the Minister of 

 Lands and Forests for Ontario. Such questions as the abolition of the 

 Doyle rule and shanty book records were also discussed. 



There is little prospect of the lumber companies of Ontario securing 

 their much-needed supplies of labor until the harvest is gathered in West- 

 ern Canada and the railroads release men engaged on road work. This may 

 be late in the season for lumbering operations, which should be In full 

 swing at the present time. Superintendent William Meath, of the Gov- 

 ernment Employment Service, estimates the present requirements of the 

 lumber companies at 5,000 men, and said it was Impossible to secure for 

 them more than the occasional bushmen dally.
