. Canadian forest industries July-December 1912. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. Logging Engine at work, Lotbiniere Lumber Company Kingsbury Yard Scene, Lotbiniere Lumber Company Charles A. Smart, of Montreal, will be president and managing di- rector, and Col. J. W. Woods, of Ottawa, one of the vice-presidents. The consolidation of these two Canadian bag companies into the Smart-Woods Company, Ltd., draw's attention to the large interests held in Canada by a United States bag companw, known as the Union Bag and Paper Company of New Jersey. This company, which has a capital of over $30,000,000, has immense timber holdings in the province of Quebec, and has also recently established a pulp mill near the city of Quebec at a cost of half a million dollars. It controls the following companies operating in Canada: Charlemagne and Lac Oureau Lumber Company, which has 600 square miles of timber lands on the Assomption and the Lac Oureau rivers; also mills at Charlemagne, near Montreal, and at St. Adele and Montcalm. Gres Falls Company, which owns 1,173 square miles of timber land on the St. Maurice and its tributary rivers; also saw mills, terminals, etc., at Three Rivers, Que. The St. Gabriel Lumber Com- pany, which owns 285 square miles of timber land on the Maskinonge and its tributary rivers; also mills and terminals at St. Gabriel de Brandon, Que. In addition to these lands the company owns 485 square miles of timber lands located on the tributaries of the St. Maurice River. These Canadian properties aggregate 2,550 square miles. When the company acquired these woodlands, six or seven years ago, it was estimated that there was sufficient timber upon them to meet the requirements of the company for the next fifty years. But as the company does not now wish to reserve the timber for its own use only, it is selling a large amount of lumber, the average being about 35,000,000 feet a .year. The pulp mill near Que
