. Canadian forest industries 1908. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER side of forest preservation better than any other forest reserve in exist- ence. Temagami is a region of lakes and woods—a land lake that oi which poets dream and minstrels sing. It is rich with Indian legend and Indian nomenclature. The word "Temagami" is derived from the Indian word meaning "deep ; One of the arms of Lake Tema- gami is known as the Bay of the Shining Woods, a beautiful title given to the spot by the Ojibways because of the presence of a heavy birch growth on its shore. Over the whole region are written similar quaint and beautiful conceits of its original inhabitants. Americans—and in that body may be included residents of both Canada and the United States—may speak of the Temagami region with pride. The famed Lakes of Killarney do not exceed it in beauty, nor any region of woods and water excel it in splendor of scenery. Lake Temagami alone has 3,000 miles of shore line and hundreds of islands, each a subject for the painter's brush. The waters are alive with fishes and the woods with game, and all the delights of canoeing and camping await the visitor.

At this time of year, when the woods call so invitingly and persistently, the Temagami region has a value not to be measured in dollars and cents.
