'We ask the cham- pions of the scheme to tell us: ( 1) whether it is not so that prevailing opinion expressed by forestry experts places the real cause of timber im- poverishment in the ravages of fire or insect pests, and in impropen methods of cutting or utilization; ('3) whether the area over which pu'lpwood can at present «be exported from privately owned woodlands is not so insignifi- cant in extent as to make the »con?3e-: q'uentces so freely attributed to this cause appear grotesquely exaggerated . (3) rWhether every reason alleged for :pnohi-biting the export of .pulpwood 18 not a reason equally strong for prohi- biting the export of raw lumber. These are questions which, in some form, ’have .been put again and again. “"9 apologize to readers w'ho must feel I 'wun wuuw mun 3v an I mammann rmrwnnm "'vSo we are presented with a "fear- ful picture of Canadian forests being progressively denuded, and American operators reaping a golden “harvest at our expense. The suggestion is that export of pulp-wood is the cause to be blamed. I-xn1')ressive,â€"even fin- alâ€"if it were only true. But the weakness of the story lies just here that timber loss is in only the most trifling degree due to the cutting of pulpwood, that it is due in no appre- ciable degree at all to .pulap’wood expor- tation, and that the puhprwood ermlbar- goâ€"so far from stopping American gains at Canada’s expenceâ€"wo-uld rat’her depnive Canadian woodlland owners of a business with the United States no iless legitimate than the e:- portation of wheat from prairie farms on the exportation of apples from the Annapolis Valley. 1 \The Advance has received and .1111builished two or three letters on the Embargo question from the writer signing the pen-name of "Econo- mist.” Below is another letter rfrom the same writer in which some geod points are made. The letten, in part. is as follows- ' "The campaign for a pulspwood embargo goes merrily on. All the arguments in its fax or have indeed, been met again and again. But as otten as they are repeated it is pre- 'l1a11s worth while to repeat the reply. “A 'twofoild appeal is made to 11s A ( 2) that we should conserve our nat- 11ra1 resources in timber 12) that we should show ourselves patriots by supporting Canadian against Ameri- can industry. \These are plausible reasons. If a puprood emlbargo could serve either object without doing more harm of another kind at the same time, we should welcome it.

But our defence is that they have never yet been answered, and that the cham- pions of embargo .proceed with their delusive assertions just as if such questions ‘had never been asked.

ADVANCE The next regular meeting of the Town Cousncfll: will be held on Monday afternoon, May 11th, commencing at 4 pm. “Mr. Fullerton spoke briefly of the progress made on the roads at the northern end of the district. At pre- sent a road has been cut from Swas- tika within three miles of Seseki- nika, this ultimately to form part of the great north highway. A road is being constructed directly from Matheson to Timmins, but at present it can be utilized only part of the way. A wooden bridge, between 600 and 700 feet long, will have to be built at Night Hawk Lake, and until this link, is provided, traffic must be diverted to Connaught, where the road from Porquis Junction to Porcu-l pine can be joined. There remains: five miles of work on this latter roadi yet, this to be done in the Frederick-1 house Lake section, Mr. Fullerton said.” “This information was gleaned from C. H. Fullerton, Director of col- onization roads, 'by Mayor Armstrong and Councillor Lendrum, who have justfireturned from a visit. to the city on municipal business. The intention of the Northern Development Branch is to award contracts in five mile stretches, Mr. Fullerton stated. He told the deputation that it was un- likely the road could be kept on the west side of the T. N. 0. tracks at Temagami and that indications point- ed to two crossings being necessary there. He rather hinted that there was a likelihood of overhead bridges being construced at these points. In the last issue of The Northern News. of Cobalt a review is given of an interview with Mr. C. H. Fuller- ton, Director of Colonization Roads. The Northern News says :â€" “'l‘he new trunk road will be open from Cobalt to Teinagami by the early summer of 1926, according to the present intentions of the Northern Development branch of the Provin- cial Department of Lands and For- ests. Tenders will be. called for im- mediately for the construction of that particular section of the highway, 3 distance of about 22 miles, and also for a portion of the road extending 10 miles out from the present ter- minus at the North Bay end. It is undecided whether contractors will he asked to speed up their work so as to finish these stretches by December of this year, or whether they will be given a year from the date of the signing of the contracts, which will be about June lst.
