. Canadian forest industries 1916. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. 3 6 large hardware, machinery and general furnishing companies in three or four of the principal cities. The market, which is limited to govern- ment and other public buildings and the requirements of the com- paratively small European and wealthy native community, is sup- plied with doors made to special order. Douglas fir doors are equal to the teak doors in appearance and superior in manufacture to the ord- inary Indian-made door; they can be put on the Indian market, if shipped with lumber cargoes, much below the price for teak doors. The market, while small, should amount of several thousand doors yearly. Canadian exporters when making shipments of lumber should arrange with their representatives in India to introduce fir doors. The names of the three most important dealers in doors may be ob- tained from the Canadian Intelligence Branch of the Department of Trade and Commerce. Mr. W. P. Kearney, manager of the Dominion Chain Company, Montreal, has been on a business visit to Newfoundland and the Martime Provinces. Can Any Lumberman Furnish this Information? Editor Canada Lumberman:— Moyertown Alta. I am informed that there is in use in some of the lumber and supply camps in the east, a single rail track built on ties without the roadbed being graded. The cars in use run on two wheels tandem and the power used is one horse, which travels beside the car and is hitched to an arrangement similar to a pack-saddle, thus helping to balance the load on the car. Can you give me any information regarding this, with cost of the equipment, cost of installa- tion and maintenance? We are farming twenty miles from the railroad and one of the big difficulties is the transportation problem. Yours truly. E. H.
