THE CANADA LUMBERMAN. 235 Hkmloch bark is worth $5 a cord at Luding- ton, Mich. Thk Canton, Me., pulp mill consumes 1,500 cords of pulp a month. Thk Flat river Michigan, drive, will this year contain 60,000,000 feet of logs against 200,000,- 000 feet last year. The Eagle mill (Runbun & Co.), Prince Ed- ward County, resumed operations on June 17th after being idle a week on account of a broken wheel. Li mber is being carried from Duncan City, Mich., to Tonawanda, N. Y., according to a Cheboygan paper, at $1 a thousand. The distance is about 600 miles. The Hudson Lumber Company, of Hudson, Wis., recently purchased 100,000 feet of logs, of Donavan Brothers, at $7 a thousand, delivered at Hudson. Mr. Eaton's shingle mill, in Ottawa, was destroyed by fire early on June 18th. It was the work of an incendiary. The loss is about $1,500. There are now but one saw mill and five shingle mills within a radius of five miles of Edmore, Mich., whereas five years ago there were five times that number. The Minnesota & Ontario Lumber Company has about 20,000,000 feet of logs at Fort Francis, Lake-of-the-Woods, Ont., which P. Nester has contracted to boom for the company's mill at Rat Portage. A raft of 7,000,000 has already been taken out. A French technical journal states that one- eighth of the entire German railway system is laid with metallic ties, and one-half of the new lines in that empire are supplied with them. In the future metallic ties will be used in Belgium. Thus, in Europe, iron is taking the place of wood in that important part of railroad construction that has always consumed a vast amount of forest growth. The Grand Rapids Furniture Association has 61 members; a capital aggregating $8,525,- 000, and employs 5,728 men. The annual sales are nearly $7,000,000, and 25,000,000 feet of hardwood lumber are cut up annually. LOGGERS IN THE B
