Pulp and paper magazine of Canada . ntrolled by Powell River Company, westof Cascade Mountains, are affected.

Whether thisdecision will hold in view of the action ofthe Senate in repealing the entire Reciproc-ity agreement is a question. 238 The Pulp and Paper Jack Pine and Hemlock for Mechanical Pulp Need of a Substitute for Spruce Pulpwood. Few well-ostablishoil industries have ex-panded as rapidly as has the pulp aud paperindustry. In less than a decade the amountof raw material used annually has morethan doubled. During 1900 there were con-sumed in the United States 1,986,310 cordsof pulpwood. The ground-wood process 58 V^ per cent. The domestic spruce con-sumption for this purpose increased 35 percent, and the consumption of miscellaneouswoods per cent. But the largest in-crease was in the use of imported spruce,the consumption of which increased 162 percent. The price of spruce has increased at a. used 598,229 cords of domestic spruce, 120,-820 cords of imported spruce, and 67,791cords of other woods, such as hemlock, jackpine, poplar and balsam, or a total of 786,-840 cords. During 1909 the amount of woodused in all processes was 4,001,607 cords,the ground-wood process using a total of1,246,121 cords, which consisted of 806,282cords of domestic spruce, 317,289 cords ofimported spruce, and 122,550 cords of othermiscellaneous woods. Thus the increase in the total amount ofpulpwood used during this period was 101per cent., while the amount of pulpwood of very rapid rate. In 1900 the average costof spruce used in all processes in the UnitedStates was $ per cord for domesticspruce and $ for imported, while in1909 the average price of domestic sprucewas $ and of imported $ per increase has been reflected in thecost of ground-wood pulp. The manufac-turing cost of pulp, as determined by theTariff Board, increased from $10.
