November, 1896 THE OJLJZAJDJL LUMBERMAH 13 also shows the Chaudiere docks. It is said to be one of the best ever taken out, both as regards quality and manufacture. At no other point in the Dominion is the manu- facture of lumber carried on so extensively as in the Ottawa valley. Within the past few years the quantity disposed of in the British market has greatly increased, and many manufacturers dispose of their entire season's cut to one shipper. Amongst the largest operators are Messrs. J. R. Booth, Bronson & Weston, W. C. Edwards & Co., Gilmour & Hughson, the Hull Lumber Company, Pembroke Lumber Company, Hawkes- bury Lumber Company, Wm.
