Eastern Provinces The prolonged mild and wet weather have seriously retarded lumber opera- tions on the Restigouche river in New Brunswick. The Creek sawmill in Dalhousie, , formerly owned by Mr. Chris. Don- aldson, has been bought by Mr. John Playfair. The new owner has moved out the machinery, so that the hum of the saw will no more be heard in that quarter. In order to supply the Canadian market more cheaply the Escanaba Manu- facturing Company, of Escanaba. Mich., is arranging to erect a factory near Montreal. Que. Wooden butter dishes, pie plates and probably clothes pins, will be turned out. The electric log piler recently installed by the Maclaren Lumber Company at Buckingham. Que., has proved a success. The logs are hoisted to the railways by means of an endless chain which is ruu by an electric motor installed on a flcat placed in the eddy. A merger of various timber limits in the Murray Bay district of Quebec is understood to be in progress, aggregating in all something like a million dol- lars in value. The largest holders are Americans, believed to be chiefly inter- ested in the Baie St. Paul Lumber Company.
