A `short decade ago the bridges of the country were built from wood, very few people thought -of using any- thing but wood for fuel, in the farm homes at least, and houses, docks, and ships were to a large extent built from the woods of "Canadian forests. It is only a little more than one hundred years since coke was first used for smelting iron and other metals. In these days charcoal was only the medium. It is still used to a small extent in furnaces and`for- ges, but, with the more perfectedl-ap- plication of electricity to these uses, the charcoal forges` of the goldsmith factories will soon be used no more. Every year which passes sees scores of new devices and inventions which arebrought forward, wholly or in part to supercede the use, of wood with that of metals or other mater- ials. The output of, hardwood shows during the- year 1906 a decrease of over 15 per cent. This is not due `to a diminishingsupply, as yet, nor to any .lessened demand for the arti.- _cle formerly made from it, but to increased cost. In the manufacturing of furniture and musical instruments, especially pianos and organs, there is a. demand perhaps for hardwood greater than in any other industry which we. have. Already the advanced prices of hard- wood affect not only the price, but the quality of the output, and the better class of hardwoods, which were formerly used, are replaced by inferior goods, which are veneered over with some foreign wood, to keep up rappearanes. This is true of almost all kinds of furniture as well. A failure in the hardwood supply would strike a blow at our furniture business which would affect our commercial prosperity most tangibly. l > -Metals have to a very great extent superceded the use of hardwood in the manufacture of farm implements and vehicles; harvesting machines, ,cultivators, and . almost a".*lother im- p.lements are now manufacutred al- most entirely from iron and steel. Hickory and oak are the woods in the most demand in .the manufactur- ing of waggons and other vehicles, and it is said that the hickory supply on this continent cannot last more than ten years longer. Attempts to substitute other woods or. metals for hickory in the manufacture of wheels have so far been on the whole a failure, although it is probable that the perfect1o"n of steel and rubber combination, which has made the bicycle and the automobile possibil- ities, will yet make a suitable substi- tute for this fast disappearing and valuable wood. One of the bran- ches of industry which consumes the largest quantity of our native woods, and for which substitutes of any de- gree of adaptability seem impossible to obtain, is that for the manufacture of packing boxes, and barrels. 2 Tight cooperage barrels, for con- ltaining liquids such as coal oil, win- les, molasses, etc., seem hard to sub- ititute with any other material. Even barrels of a cheaper style have al- most doubled in price during the past few years, and have met with only an increased, rather than dimin- ished demand. This year it has been almost an impossibility for apple packers to obtain a supply of barrels which they require. Other interests, such as `manufactures calling for `their use, have been aected similar- ly. The manufacturing public seems helpless in the matter of Obtaining! any adequate substitution in the form of a shipping package. While on the whole the actual re- quirements of hardwood in our man- ufacturing processes have largely di- minished, another feature has grown up" of late years'which= has made a sweeping demand for woods not formerly considered valuable. That is the manufacture of pulp wood. Home consumption is now almost entirely supplied by native soft woods in pulp and paper, and for "pulp products of all kinds, a foreign demand has sprung up as well, which `threatens the .wood supply -of Can-" ada- V Ex." . The American manufacturers, now almost at a loss to obtain supplies at lhome, are buying up large areas of Canadian pulp-woods. The Austra- -lian -market, which once belonged to the United States manufacturer, now calls for all the manufactured pulp and paper which `Canada. can supply. The_ inevitable conclusion to be drawn_from these facts is that the hardwood supply is vanishing, and there are, certainly hard times close ahead for the industries dependent "upon it. igThe present indications are that in hard woods there, will be a shortage very keenly felt during` the next ten years._ In the case of soft woods the supply is more abundant. l The unmeasured forestsof the Paci- c Coast, the unknown tracts of the north-east, will supply the demands for -many years to come, but: the time "to make. wise provision for future necessities is the present; and a hard- wood, famine will be the inevitable result. of carlessness in the matter. of protecting- our Canadian forests.- I l COLWELL.` t V ' (Too late for last week.)
