Interior of Red Pine Stand Christie yard and are well known to the lumber trade throughout the country. The Strong Lumber Company, Orillia, Ont., are at present logging on almost a pure stand of even red pine standing right alongside of the slash from the operations of the J. B. Smith & Sons limits of-twenty-four years ago, and extending for a mile back from the bay. The logs cut upon this portion of the limit are to be towed to Geo.
