. Canadian forest industries 1889-1890. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. March, 1S90 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN. EXCHANGE ECHOES. Northwestern Lumberman. The action of congress on matters which will have a bearing on the Canadian export duty on logs will probably soon be known. Some of the wheel horses of both houses have the question under consideration, and lumber- men are making their way to Washington, where they will get in their work as lobbyists. Without doubt the great majority of manufac- turers would be glad to see Canadian lumber shut out of the United States entirely ; partic- ularly would this please southern and Pacific coast operators. The fact is, the saw mill capacity of this country is enormous, there is plenty of timber to meet that capacity, and the saw mill men think that it belongs ta them to supply the lumber the country needs. The Northwestern Lumberman is respons- ible for the following, which it calls ;< Johnny's Composition": "My Pa he's got a saw mill. A buz saw aint got no mouth, but it gets thar jes the same. Teeth grows all over him, like hairs on a dern catapiller. I hates them things. If I had ter waller round like that I wouldn't try ter be a butterfly. The bes way to feel of a buz saw is poke it with a board. Pa's hired man got three fingers. He says thats nufif to drink by. When I'm big I'm goan have wiskers and chaw teibaccer like Pa. Pa's got a nigger in his mill, I spose cos theys a wood pile there. If I says 'dont monkey with the buz saw' they throws me in the saw dust. That's a chestnut. Lumber goes on live rolls. I guess thems fer feed. Pa says trees has bark, but saw mill dogs ; Timberman. Reports from the camps in Wisconsin are to the effect that the loggers are not even taking time to grumble these days, so intent are they in hurrying the giants of the forest to river banks. The weather couldn't be better if it had been made to order. It is warm
