To this amount of manufactured lumber may be added about 

 two hundred and fifty thousand tons of square timber ; this is 

 not far from the annual amount manufactured in this province. 

 Four dollars per ton is about a medium price; this gives a prod-

Long lumber $1,041,840 



Square timber 1,000,000 



Other lumber as above 000

 products, we simply give this ia problematical. It. probably (alls
