tion six pulp mills with a capacity of 630 tons, and eijrht paper 

 mills with a total daily capacity of 375 tons. These mills manu- 

 facture all grades of wood pulp, and most varieties of paper. 

 They not only supply the bulk of the home market on certain 

 lines, but of recent years have developed an export trade. 



Canada has the greatest area in the world of forest suitable 

 for the manufacture of pulp, her spruce lands alone being es-

Mr. J. F. Macka-^;, Business Manager of the Toronto Globe, 

 in a paper on "The Newspaper Publisher's Interest in Forestry," 

 made a strong presen : ation of the interest of the newspapers in

 14,000,000 feet, and that if the government would hand over to

 plant worth $750,000.
