. Canadian forest industries 1897-1899. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. Pacific Coast Gang Edger. bolts 8" thick, and is fitted with inserted tooth saws 24 inches in diameter. It is a very heavy machine, and is made extra strong for Pacific coast trade. Sidings from the main line of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway traverse the mill yard, and afford the Fig. required facilities for the large trade in this style of lumber which the company has with the North- west territories and the eastern provinces. The shipments by rail, however, are not confined to lumber of such small dimensions, as it is a common thing to see timbers being loaded on cars, the lengths of which require two and sometimes three fiat cars to carry them, that is, from 70 to 90 feet, and running in sizes from 12" to 36" square. The excellence of the company's pro- duct is so well recognized that orders are received from the remotest eastern points ; strange as it may seem, ship- ments are made to points in the pro- vince of Quebec, to Halifax, and even in the face of a hostile tariff to points on the Atlantic seaboard of the United States. The Royal City Planing Mills, Van- couver, have a sawing capacity of 75,- 000 feet per day, and a planing mill capacity of 50,000 feet. There is also a large and perfectly appointed sash and door factory in which, in addition to doors and windows, mouldings, mantel pieces, and all kinds of finishing wood-work for interior fittings are turned out, of the most tasteful description. This mill is entirely occupied with local and eastern orders, and also has in operation a shingle mill. The shingles are made of British Columbia cedar and find a ready market as far east as Ontario. At this mill there is also a box factory turning out boxes of all sizes and de- scriptions. The Royal City Planing , New Westmin- ster, have also sawing capacity of an equal amount as the Royal City Planing Mills,
