A leading Georgian Bay plant—Manley Chew's mill, Midland, A view of yards, showing excellent shipping facilities—Manley Chew's plant, Midland, Ont, is the excellent fire protection system installed. It includes four hy- drants across the yard between the mill and where the lumber starts. Pipes are strung under the full length of each of the trams, with four or five connections. At every connection throughout the yard and under the trams, fire hose have been placed. By this means, in one minute, water can be directed against any outbreak of fire on any part of the yard. This, Mr. Chew believes, is the most efficient system that he has ever heard The output of the mill consists of red and white pine, 90 per cent, being white pine. During the past few years most of this stock has been sold in Ontario, but on account of the falling off in the demand during 1914, the greater part of the past year's output has been sold in the United States, in such markets as Buffalo, North Tonawandu and Detroit. Mr. Manley Chew is one of the most prominent citizens of Mid- land. He is widely known throughout the lumber industry as a man of business ability and one who believes in giving all possible assist- ance to the promotion of the best interests of his town. Both as a business man and as a public servant he has given valuable assistance to his town and county. For the term of 1908-11 he represented the riding of Simcoe in the Dominion Parliament. The season of 1914, according to the officials of the forest service of the United States, carried greater danger from fire to the national forests than any year since their establishment. To meet this emer- gency and to prevent great loss of public property, the amount appro- priated for fire protection was all spent and a deficiency of $349,243.
