Some Ask Rediutction in Stumpage Rates Necessity of Raising Revenue, Howâ€" ever, Mentioned Against the Proâ€" posal,. Views of Operators and Others. Everybody recognizes that there is much wrong with the lumber and pulpwood business, but there is not so general an agreement as to the right remedies that should be applied. Of course, the majority of the operâ€" ators are inclined to look for relief to the government in the way of reduced stumpage fees and so on, but as at least one operator suggests this would be only a surface remedy, and more than reduced fees will be necessary to restore the lumber and pulpwood business. "Remedy to Reâ€" vive Lumber business is to Keep Down Production Until General Trade Becomes More Active" is a heading in the current issue of The Canada Lumberman. Some of the lumber companies, like Feldman Bros..of Timâ€" mins, are making business in general and the lumber business in piarticâ€" ular more active by judicious adverâ€" vertising. That method helps a lot. Hill, Clark, Francis of Timmins and New Liskeard, have also followed this plan for years. Recently The Canada Lumberman obtained opinions on the matter from a number of leading lumber manuâ€" facturers. Among the questions asked in the questionairre sent out by The Lumberman was this one: "Should the government reduce the stumpage dues; would a material decrease be justified at present and a reduction tend to give more employment to those who need work. It was also asked if lower stumpage rates would result in any present benefit to the lumber industry. The query was also put forth: What can create a greater demand for and consumpion of lumâ€" ber. Other pertinent questions were as follows: What do you consider the chief contributing factor to the presâ€" ent stagnant situation; what in your opinion would be the most effective expedient to revive the lumber trade, and how does the stock in your yards now compare with that of a year ago? General observations were invited regarding "price, prospects and production." Among the answers received from reprmesentative lumber manufacturers was the following from Hillâ€"Clarkâ€" Francis The Canada Lumberman summarized this reply as follows:â€" "Hill, Clark, Francis, Ltd., of New Liskeard, say that it is difficult to anâ€" swer the question whether the govâ€" ernment should reduce stumpage dues as it is necessary to raise revenue to pay for forestry patrol and other exâ€" penses. A decreased levy might inâ€" crease lumber production but this is not what is needed at the present time as there is enough lumbeimiln the country now. One move t might be made to create a greater deâ€" mand for lumber would probably be adâ€" vertising to instill in the minds of more prople a desire to own their own homes. Overproduction and general depression are the chief causes at the present time for the slackness in the â€"lumber trade. Hill, Clarke, Francis assert that the stock in their yard in 250 less than it was a year ago, and that the most practical remedy to revive the forest products business would be to keep down production until gerneral trade beâ€" comes more active. Concluding, the firm say: "We do not look for much change in price and no immediate signs of an improvement, so far as lumâ€" ber sales are concerned. Production will probably be smaller this winter than it has been for some years but even this is hard to predict." The Fesserton Timber Co. are quotec as stating that a substantial reduction in dues should be made in order to enâ€" able Northern Ontario producers to meet competition from outside. At present it is impossible for them to do so. A decrease in dues, the firm argues, would help in holding the Ontario market. World conditions, effects of the war and overâ€"production, the firm suggests as contributing factors to the present situation in the forest products arena. With respiect to the most efâ€" fective way of reviving the lumber busiâ€" ness the Fesserton Co. add: "Cheaper lumber produced by reducing . dues, charges, manufacturing costs, railroad THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO freight rates, etc., more home building; reduced interest on mortgages on homes;,/lower interest to manufacturâ€" ers, less sawmills; cut of output conâ€" trolled; making lumber manufacturing more permanent so that overhead charges can be distributed over a longer period, etc. All this would create conâ€" fidence and as soon as times change and4 confidence returns, business will ges better." "~h> Canadian Lumberman also prints the following paragraph:â€""A leading northern firm say that by no means should the government reduce stumpage on limits already sold. The breaking of the wheat pol, the combines in abatâ€" toirs and steel and the lack of cohesion in the lumber arena are contributing factors to the present ‘stiuation in forâ€" _est products. While the price of wheat and grain is 500 of its former value, lumber cannot be 100©%,." Continuing Canadian Lumberman says:â€"S. McChesney Son, of Timâ€" mins, believe that the Ontario governâ€" ment should reduce stumpage dues in northern Ontario, where unreasonable prices are being paid for spruce, pulp and log lumber. The rate of dues charged in their section of the country is double that in some other prortions of the Dominion. "In view of the presâ€" ent unsatisfactory conditicn of the lumâ€" ber market, we believe operators and manufacturers are certainly justified in expecting a material decrease in Crown dues, But, on the other hand, unless there is a new and greater demand created for lumber, or a market to take care of the surplus stock now on hand, iand that to be taken out this winter, we cannot ses how the situation would be improved," the firm declare. A reâ€" duction in dues would certainly relieve the unemployment situationâ€"but we imagine a greater relief to the situation would be increased Gdemands for the lumber, the reason for this being that. if the government decreased the dues, there is no doubt but that the majority of the manufacturers would carry on cperations on a larger scale. If there is no augmented demand for the extra lamount of lumber manufactured, the market will be placed in a still more difficult position than at pmresent. The baffling question of the whole situation is "how to create a greater demand for lumber and encourage the use of it." Anyone who can answer that successâ€" fully and completely will have made a distinct contribution to the welfare of | the industry. "We have about double the stock in our yards at the present time to what was there a year ago. The present financial situation is, in A measure, to blame for the existing situâ€" ation in lumber and one drawback has been that construction as now carried on in the building industry, is making an ever increasing use of fireproof maâ€" terials of every description," declare S. | McChesney Son. "Another leading firm say that there should be a reduction of 40 to 50 per cent. on all charges made against standâ€" ing timber by the Ontario government. The Ontario lumberman is being driven out of his own market in the province by competition from other pmwovinces where the government charges are subâ€" stantially less. A reduction in dues would tend to give employment to those who need work, if the lumberâ€" man could hold his own market in Ontario and a reasonable share of exâ€" port came to the province. This would make employment for thousands of additional men in the lumber busiâ€" ness. As to what can be done to create a better demand for and conâ€" sumption of lumber they observe that concerted effort on the part of proâ€" ducers with the assistance of wholeâ€" salers and retailers would do much to keep wood in its proner place, beâ€" fore the buying public. One chief contributing factor to the present situation in forest products is the loss of the British market for which a definite and concerted effort should be made by Canadian lumbermen as united body. The general depresâ€" slon has also influenced the lumberâ€" ing business adversely." The Cangdian Lumberman concludes its review of the various answers receivâ€" ed with the following:â€" Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Why should not the river be known henâ€" ceforth as the Kaye Don, when we have already a Wood Street? . GOGQ Figures on Area of _ Forests in Canada\ *: * | tion Estimated in Government Report to be! time 1,151,454 Square Miles, Most of | Red This Area Essentially Forest i'.'elol Land. been a report recently issued by the Doâ€" minion Government, to set any deâ€" finite limitation on the area which will eventually be usable. On 311,234 square miles the timber | is so placed as to be commercially workable and is of sufficient size; and on 554,646 square miles there is acâ€" | cessible growth which, if protected from fire, will produce merchantable timber. The virgin forest on these lands, as well as on part of the land now carrying merchantable timber, has either been destroyed by fire or cut for use, chiefly the former. Therei are, therefore, 865,880 square miles of | productive forest, of which less than' 200,000 square miles are mature, and the remainder is in growing conâ€" ! dition. About 78,257 square miles of forest land in Canada has been set aside in reserves or parks or other-! wise permanently dedicated to forâ€"| est production. Estimated Stand For a considerable portion of the present forest area there is little reâ€" liable information as many regions have not yet been thoroughly explorâ€" ed. The estimated stand of timber of merchantable size (disregarding presâ€" ent accessibility) is approximately 424.637,000,000 feet board measure for saw timber and 1,121,993,000 cords of | pulpwood, cordwood and other merâ€" chantable products. Of the total for saw timber 75 pler cent. is in British Columbia, 18 per cent. in the easâ€" tern provinces and about 6 per cent. in the Prairie Provinces. About 90 per cent. of this is composed of conâ€" iferous softwoods, the remaining 10 per cent. of hardwovds being found chiefly in the eastern provinces. The total for merchantable material cfl all kinds has been estimated at 224,â€" | 304 million cubic feet. omm mm The total value of the various proâ€" ducts of sawmill operations for Canâ€" ada in 1929, according to the rerlrt qusted above, was $146,989,564 comâ€" pared with $139,424,754 in 1928. In the five years ended in 1929 there was an increase of over 20 per cent. in the production of sawn lumber in the Dominion. In 1924 the lumber sawn was 3,878,942 thousand feet soard measure, while in 1929 it was t741,941 thousand board feet. The wreduction of sawn lumber in Canâ€" ‘da reached its maximum in 1911 with a reported cut of 4,918,202 thousand feet. A second record was reached in 1920 with a cut of 4,298,804 thousand feet. This was followed by a decrease in 1921 to 2,869,307 thouâ€" sand feet, but since that date there has been a steady rise in the cut. The figure for 1929 is the largest of any year since 1911. It represents an increase of 9.3 per cent. in quanâ€" tity and 94 per cent. in value cver 1928. WRESTLER NOT AMONG THE MEN IN RIOT AT KIRKLAND In its last issue the Northern News of Kirkland Lake makes the followâ€" inz apology and explanation in regard to mentioning noted Finnish wresâ€" tler as being one of those in the reâ€" cent riot at Kirkland Lake:â€" "A person‘s good name is preâ€" cious thing and for the slur on that of Herman Nykanen in our last issue in connection with the Communist outbreak, the Northern News regre‘ts very much and is peased to make correction. It was purely Case of mistaken identity, his person being confused with that of Arni Waarala, one of those arrested. From sources which were considered reliable the Northern News was informed the man was the one who tock part in the boxing and wrestling show the previous Saturday evening. As a furâ€" ther checkâ€"up, Waarala in a police ceil nodded affirmatively to the reâ€" porter‘s query that he had performed at the Arena and in broken English told him he was a wrestler. The mistake was discovered soon after the issue was Oof the press Mr. Nykaâ€" nen is a member of the Loyal Finâ€" nish Association, which is decidedly opposed to the Communistic moveâ€" ment. He is an exâ€"service member of the Finnish "White" army, in which he serveg as a lieutenant. These facts alone point out the unâ€" likelihood of the misunderstanding ever coming true." Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"The warden of the Utah State prison who singleâ€"handed quelled a mutiny, reâ€" calls the old story of the riot in the Texas town. A hurryup call to the nearest â€" headquarters of the Texas Rangers was sent in, and a few hours later a lone Texas Ranger arrived. "What!" exclaimed the mayor, "Only one Ranger?" "Well," retorted the Ranger, "there‘s only one riot, ain‘t there?" Sault Starâ€"Hon. G.

In addition to deâ€" velopment work considerable ore has been pre;tared for shipment. It is unâ€" derstood that the management has acâ€" cumulated some 7,000 tons of ore of an average grade of $24.40 per ton in gold and arrangements are now being made to ship this to a neighboring mill for treatment. It is estimated that it will take about four months to handle the tcnnage and that it will return approxâ€" imately $100,000 tothe company. It is said to be the intention of the officials to continue taking out ore and that by the time the present tonnage has been Sudbury Star:â€"Senator Robertson, federal Minister of Labor, estimates that Canada will have to spend $100,â€" 000,000 to handle the unemployed sitâ€" | uation.
