Canadian Forestry Journal, September, 1918 



St. Maurice Pulp and Paper Com- 

 pany, gave evidence regarding lum- 

 bering on the North River, where 

 sinkage, covering a period of three 

 years amounted to 18.9 per cent. 

 Included in the figures given were 

 328 cords which were taken from the 

 bottom of the river by a scow. Nine 

 per cent, was written ofT for sinkage 

 on spruce and from thirty to forty 

 per cent, on balsam. The loss on 

 sawlogs was given at nine per cent, 

 and on four-foot pulp logs sixteen per 

 cent. 



An interesting sidelight on the 

 scarcity of woods labor which is 

 hindering lumbering operations this 

 year was shown when counsel an- 

 nounced that one company had paid 

 thirty thousand dollars to employ- 

 ment agencies alone to get men to go 

 into the woods. 



N. B. PROSECUTES SETTLERS. 

 Fredericton. Sept. 5. — A resident 

 of Nashwaak will appear before the 

 Magistrate at Fredericton, N.B., on 

 September 17lh to answer to a 

 charge of having set. a fire without 

 the necessary fire permit on the 26th 

 of August. As it was a dry windy 

 day, this fire would have done very 

 serious damage to the surrounding 

 forest if twenty-five men had not 

 gathered quickly to extinguish it. 



A similar case will be heard in 

 Anderson, Restigouche Co. on the 

 same date, against a settler who, 

 after being personally warned, set 

 fire to his slash without a permit 

 on another dry windy day, and this 

 fire was not extinguished until after 

 five hundred dollars damage was 

 done.
