B. C SHIPS CARRY B. C. WOOD 



A report of lumber shipments from 

 B. C. during the year, states that 

 every vessel of the fleet, built during 

 war time on the Pacific Coast, which 

 has as yet made her maiden voyage 

 was utilized for carrying B. C. timber. 

 The vessels and the destination of 

 their lumber cargoes was as follows: 

 Mabel Brown for Sydney, Margaret 

 Haney for Bombay, Geraldine Wolvin 

 for Sydney, Laura Whalen for Ade- 

 laide, Jessie Norcross for Adelaide, 

 Malahat for Sydney, Esquimalt for 

 Melbourne, Janet Caruthers for Ade- 

 laide, Marie Barnard for Sydney, and 

 the Mabel Stewart for Adelaide. The 

 other two vessels of the schooner 

 fleet, the Jean Stedman and the 

 Beatrice Castle, have not as yet made 

 their maiden trips, but the former 

 will take a cargo of lumber to Aus- 

 tralia on her first run. 



Very appropriate indeed is it that 

 these vessels, made of B. C. timbers, 

 and in B. C. yards, should, on their 

 maiden voyages, be utilized for the 

 purpose of carrying products of B. C. 



forests to various quarters of the 

 globe, remarks the Pacific Coast 

 lumberman. 



THE AIRPLANE SPRUCE HUNT 

 PRINCE RUPERT.— This port 

 has been transformed into a lumber 

 depot following the pressing demand 

 for aeroplane spruce. Every steamer 

 that arrives brings its quota of 

 men interested in that branch ol 

 industry and about the hotel corri- 

 dors one hears in most of the con- 

 versation references to timber limits, 

 clear spruce, tows and tug boats, 

 mixed in where formerly the lan- 

 guage employed most frequently car- 

 ried the suggestion of fishing, and 

 fish curing. From all along the coast 

 there are gathering those who are 

 identified with the timber cruising" 

 and logging business. The Queen 

 Charlotte Islands is the destination 

 of most of those arriving, but there 

 are camps being established else- 

 where along the northern coast, and 

 the season promises to be one of 

 the greatest activity.
