. Canadian forest industries 1905-1906. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. VI. Canada Lumberman Weekly Edition August 2, 1905 BRITISH COLUMBIA TIMBER IN DEMAND. American capitalists close to the manage- ment of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway are reported to be seeking to acquire ex- tensive limber lands on Moresby Island, the southerly island of the Queen Char- lotte group, in British Columbia. Within the next thirry days application will be made to the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works for permission to cut the tim- ber on 107 square miles of land on Mores- by Island. For each square mile so taken up the Government fee will be $140 per annum. The identity of the capitalists behind the applicants tor this land is unknown beyond the fact that they are Americans. It is supposed in some quarters that the McGoldrick interests of Ohio may be the background applicants, but this is only surmise, and is largely based on the fact that the Ohio people have recently ac- quired hundreds of square miles of timber lands from the coast right through to Pine River Pass along the route tributary to the Grand Trunk Pacific line. An extensive acreage of timber limits on Stuart and Fraser Lakes has been taken up by a number of Vancouver- ites. These lakes are not far from Fort George, and presuming that the Grand Trunk Pacific enters the province through the Pine River Pass, it will have to swing along toward the sea coast by the Nechaco, Endaco and Bulkley Rivers, and so the timber bordering on Stuart and Fraser Lakes and through all the country in that vicinity will be tributary to the new line. The Vancouverites who are paving the way to the ownership of the timber lands along the proposed transcontinental route are Messrs. Robert Kelly, F. C. Wade, , G. I. Wilson and J. Y. Rochester.
