. Canadian forest industries 1903. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. January, 1904 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 27 NEW CROWN TIMBER AGENTS. The activity in lumbering operations and the growth of settlement throughout New Ontario has called for the appointment of additional Crown timber agents. The department has decided to divide the Algoma agency and ap- point two agents for this territory, which was formerly in charge of the late P. C. Campbell, ofSaultSte. Marie.
