Opportunities for Electrification At the present time the electrification of lumber millsappears to present one of the greatest opportunities for theelectrical industry. The total capital invested in the lumberindustry in Canada amounts to $234,793,646, of which approxi-mately one half is represented by mills. Here we have afigure of .$117,396,823 in lumber mills alone. This is represented by over 2,500 sawmills, scattered. An electrically driven lumb-r shfter over the whole of Canada. These are not all of large size,hut they all use power of one kind and another. Out of mills, not five per cent are electrified. The tide seemsto be turning, owners are becoming convinced of the manifoldadvantages of electric drive. What remains to be done isto go after them intensively and make two of Canadas great-est basic resources, her water power and her great forests,each a help to the development of the other. In our next issue an account will be given of the usesof electricity in the logging end of the industry. Exportation of Electric Energy from Canada The table given below, taken from a statement of theDepartment of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa, just publish-ed, gives some interesting fi,gures relative to the productionand exportation of electric energy in Canada for the year ending March 31, 1922. It will be noted that the totals givenare applicable only to those concerns
