A WINTER FOREST SURVEY PARTY IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN. 



oak trees. The paper used is tough- 

 ened by a special process which pre- 

 vents easy tearing. In this connec- 

 tion, it may be mentioned that re- 

 cently in Copenhagen a new German 

 textile, in which paper is spun with 

 about 20 per cent, of cotton, was ex- 

 hibited. Fiom this, paper under- 

 clothing, sheets, jerseys, bandages and 

 horse blankets were made, but it is 

 admitted that the cost of production 

 is too high to allow of its competing 

 with cotton and woollen cloth in 

 normal times. Probably the largest 

 use of spun paper in the United 

 States lies in the manufacture of 

 fibre rugs, in the production of which 

 no fewer than twenty-five factories 

 are engaged, one of them turning out 

 something like twenty-five tons of 

 rugs daily. Most of these rugs are 

 made made entirely of paper, but in 

 some instances an admixture of cotton 

 or wool is used. The possibilities for 

 sulphite pulp in the manufacture of 

 toys was a topic upon which Sir 

 George Foster recently dilated at a 

 manufacturers' convention in To- 

 ronto, and at a school near South- 

 port, waste paper, after being pound- 

 ed and kneaded, is now being used in 

 place of clay for modelling purposes. 

 Altogether there seems to be no 

 limit to the potential uses of either 



pulp or paper, and there is no doubt 

 that in the near future considerable 

 developments in this direction will 

 have to be recorded. 



NEW FORESTRY FIRM 



C. A. Lyford and H. E. Brincker- 

 hoff have formed a partnership under 

 the name of Clark c^- Lyford for the 

 practice of Forest Engineering, with 

 headquarters at 15 E. 40th St., New- 

 York. They will act as Eastern 

 Agents for Clark & Lyford, Ltd. of 

 Vancouver. 



THE NEW ASSOCIATIONS 



In the formation of the Southern 

 St. Lawrence Forest Protective As- 

 sociation, the majority of the limit 

 holders and owners of free-hold lands, 

 from the county line between Dor- 

 chester and Bellechasse right do^vn 

 to the Gaspe peninsula will have one 

 President, and one Secretary-Treasur- 

 er, but will divide the territory in two 

 sections, the Eastern and the West- 

 ern, each Section to have a vice-presi- 

 dent and Manager chosen by a board 

 of five Directors; the whole Board 

 of ten directors will have charge of 

 all matters pertaining to the whole 

 Association, but each Section will 

 be independent so far as funds and 

 administration are concerned.
