Canadian Forestry Journal, May, 1917 



probable that the ninetieth anniver- 

 sary of the "lumber king's" birth 

 would have passed without undue 

 significance, for in the words of one 

 of his workmen, "He's a fine man, 

 but, he works hard." 



Before the date of the ninetieth 

 anniversary was over it is said John 

 R. Booth, Sr., was back at his plant 

 busy in superintending the operations 

 of workmen in the erection of a new 

 sulphite mill. It was 6.30 p.m. Wed- 

 nesday before Mr. Booth considered 

 it a "dav's work." 



QUEBEC TO SELL LIMITS 



According to an announcement 

 made in Quebec recently, the Minister 

 of Lands and Forests will offer for 

 sale a large area of timber limits 

 situated in different parts of the 

 province, mainly in the Lake St. John 

 region, the Saint Maurice Valley and 

 in the Ottawa Superior district. 



The numerous demands that have 

 been made upon the Forest Depart- 

 ment for over a year are said to just- 

 ify the Provincial Government in 

 making this sale, for which the time 

 could not be better chosen. Quebec 

 possesses an immense forestry domain 

 a large part of which has remained 

 unproductive up to the present. The 

 present occasion is regarded as the 

 most favorable for opening up the 

 industry. 



"Apart from the considerable re- 

 venue that this sale will give the pro- 

 vince, as well as the cutting dues, 

 etc.," says Pulp and Paper Magazine, 

 "the Provincial Government will have 

 the satisfaction of knowing that they 

 are developing the forestry resource's 



of the provinces, and are contributing 

 to an improvement in the paper 

 situation, and that its policy may tend 

 towards a reduction in the price of 

 this necessary commodity."
