It towers‘straight up from the landscape, with a smaller mountain joining it i1 front, the whole outline giving th« appearance of a huge fur cap witdA a peak on it. Any imaginâ€" ative person acquainted with the folk lore of the North woods could see that instead of a mountain back of Cheminis lake there must be an imâ€" mense drop in the garth, and Paul Bunyan is passing along in this valley, his peaked fur cap just showing above the earth line. Anyway, inâ€" stead of looking like a chimney, as some say, Cheminis mountain does appear to be Paul Bunyan‘s cap. And Cheminis mountain must be going some when it can cap Paul Bunyan.

A number of men are being taken in and the work, it is planned, will continue through the winter. The property is said to be a particuâ€" larly promising one. It is located near the Jacksonâ€"Manion and other properties that are making good showâ€" ings. Mr. Gillies himself, who is a miining man of wide experience, is greatly pleased with the prospects in that section.‘‘ TO OPEN DUNCAN CLAIMS IN NARROW LAKE AREA SMOKED BY_ MORE MEN THAN ANY OTHER BRAND N CANADA and lies, and lie;! There have ‘been people who quesâ€" tioned the wisdom of the Christmas tree industry, on the grounds that it tended to deplete Canadian forestâ€" wealth. Authorities, however, seem to agree that there is nothing to such a theory, For every tree used at Christmas, Canada has been permitâ€" ting about a million to be destroyed by fire. This would mean that inâ€" stead of worrying about the Christâ€" _mas tree trade, which brings money to many who need it badly, Canada should centre its efforts on stopping the forest fire business that causes loss only to all concerned. The auâ€" thorities consulted about the Christâ€" mas tree industry agree in saying that certain species of trees, such as balsam and cedar, can be used for few other purposes. They are called ‘‘weed‘‘ trees, and like most ‘‘ weeds‘!. have little value and very speedily: reproduce themselves. _ Cedar, of course, might be used for fence posts, but usually there are more of the common cedars than there are fence posts in demand. The clearing of land also supplies a good percentage of the trees used at Christmas time, while others come from the necessary thining out of commerceial forests. One authority on the subject also says that to an increasing extent, Christâ€" mas trees are coming from farmers‘ grownâ€"up pastures, swamps, and wastelands, and many settlers make a comfortable little income from this business each year when conveniently situated as regards markets. In 1925 the revenue of Quebece farmers from Among the special Christmas inâ€" dustries of Canada that of the furâ€" nishing of Christmas trees is probably the chief. Christmas trees froimm woods in every part of Canada will be found in every nook and coyner _of this continent, wherever Christmas is celebrated. _ Canada herself uses about a million Christmas trees acâ€" cording to the careful estimates made by statiscally inclined persons. In the United States, there are ten million Christmas trees used, and of this number Canada supplies between three and four million it is said. Taking the average cost of all these Christmas trees at twentyâ€"five cents it will be seen that the industry is a millionâ€"dollar affair. As many of the trees are sold at prices ranging from $1.50 to $5.00, it will be seen that the trade will absorbh the number for which no price is paid, if the average figure per tree is placed as low as twentyâ€"five cents. The chances are that the average price of the Christâ€" mas trees traded in each year in Caâ€" nada would run considerably above the quarterâ€"dollar mark. Last year a million trees were shipped from Newâ€" Brunswick to the United States. Quebec shipped about half as many as New Brunswick, and Ontario probâ€" ably shipped 250,000 trees to the United States. famous for their toy industries for Christmas trade, the sale of toys at Christmas exceeding the sale for the rest of the year. In recent years Caâ€" nada has taken an improved position in the manufacture of toys, dolls, etc., but it has to be admitted that the maâ€" jority of the Christmas toys are still imported. In this connection, it should be noted that the partially disâ€" abled soldiers trading under the name of ‘‘Veteraft‘‘ are making all sorts of toys and other articles for Christâ€" mas buying. In some lines, such as desks, blackboards, chairs, etc., they are producing articles that excel in their lines for quality and artistry. In any case, Vetcraft should be given the preference in Christmas buying wherever possible. People in Canaâ€" da owe this to the soldiers, and they owe it also to themselves for the Veteraft goods are certainly superior. It is interesting at this time to note the special industries that Canada has around this season of the year. It is true that some of these special Christmas industries hold good for only a brief season, but they are proâ€" fitable while they last and have an imâ€" portant bearing on general business, â€"probably more than is commonly realized. The North Land has a speâ€" cral interest in these special Christâ€" mas industries, this country making a little out of one of them in partiecuâ€" larâ€"the sale of Christmas® trees. (Germany, (Switzerland and some other European countries used to be Canada Has Several Special Christmasâ€"time Industries Chief Among These is the Supplying of Christmas Trees. Holly Industry and Flowers and Plants Also Important. Demand for Canadian Poultry and Apples Around Christmas Time. The sale of decorative pliants and cut flowers is particularly brisk at the Christmas season and it is remarkable the manner in which this industry has developed in the Dominion, though there is still a very import trade carried on. In the past year, indoor plants sold in Canada numâ€" bered 13,076 and had a value of $146,â€" 581, while ecut flowers sold numbered 15,269,144 and had a value of $1,295,â€" 028. ‘Still more remarkable is it to discover that many of these move to United States at the Christmas seaâ€" son, even the Prairie Provinces enâ€" gaging in this trade. At the city of Medicine Hat, which first came into prominence as the centre of a gyreat ranching territory, are greenhouses with a production greater than any with one exception in Canada. The Another Christmas industry worthy of note is the increasing quantity of holly going from Canada to United States each year, not to mention the homeâ€"used holly. Holly production in Canada is confined to the Pacific coast of British Columbia, but this very limitation has resulted in the deâ€" velopment of a thriving little indusâ€" try. An expansion of cultivation is taking place there as the demand across the line becomes brisker. The relatively few ranchers engaged in the industry find it a profitable underâ€" taking, and according to one of them eight hundred dollars per acre is a fair average income from this pursuit. this source ran, according to estimate, to $100,000 and was substantially greater in the Maritimes. In the anâ€" nually increasing demand there is opâ€" portunity in certain sections to plant woodlots and follow a thinning out process each year, ensuring a steady addition to income.

The North Land has a share in this trade, but nothing like it will probably have in years to come, for the North is more or less~ specializing in poultry. In this country, thanks to the poultry associations operating here, there is a tendency to feature thoroughbred and registered poultry, and this means study and attention, and from study and attention good business will be the more likely to come. The shipment of apples overseas for Christmas has developed into a big business. This is a form of ‘‘Chritmas box"‘‘ that rightly appeals to many people. Shipments are made to the British Isles, Belgium, Denâ€" mark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerâ€" land. This sort of ‘*‘Christmas box"‘ is usually much appreciated overseas, and it is also a good advertisement for Canada. The apples are put in boxes containing 150 fine quality Canadian plants are developing a proâ€" fitable trade with many United States points at Christmas time. All the poultry in Canada is not used by Timmins Charity Turkey Stag. This year the Stag shipped in here from the West some 800 big turâ€" keys of finest quality so as to assure a merry Christmas for this town. But a very large business has developed in Canadian â€" dressed poultry, particularly to the United States. _ This business is especially brisk at Christmas time. The Canaâ€" dian Pacific Railway Publicity Dept., which supplied some of the facts and figures used in this article, did not give actual figures of the shipments of poultry, but the department didâ€" say that for years the Maritime Proâ€" vinces have supplied Boston, New York and other large eastern centres, while more recently the Prairie Proâ€" vinces have made a successful bid for a share of the trade.
