CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 39 Galvin-Walston Lumber Company, Alberta. Western Canada Humboldt, Sask., have registered in The Red Spruce Lumber Company's plant and holdings in Vancouver, , are reported to have changed hands for $200,000. R. Conn «!fe Son, lumber dealers, have recently opened a branch at Moore Park. Man., on the , McGregor-Yarcoe branch. The Guggenheim interests are said to have obtained control of the Western Fuel Company, which owns 42,000 acres of coal and timber lands near Nanaimo op Vancouver Island. The deal, which was for two millions, included the mine at Nanaimo. The steamer Empress of India, sailing for the Orient on October 28th, car- ried the first shipment of Canadian pulp wood sent across the Pacific from Can- ada. There were 160 bales, each weighing 250 pounds, from the new pulp mills at Swanson Bay to Kobe, Japan. Creosote wood blocks, which will be used on the traffic floor of the Fraser river bridge at New Westminster, , have been found to last on bridges for flooring double the time of ordinary planking. The floor is expected to last for ten or fifteen years. The cost is $22,000.

The building was insured, but the loss will nevertheless be considerable. It is un- derstood that the kilns and lumber piles were not burned. Martin Jerome, , Government fire ranger, has returned to Win- nipeg after investigating the damage and seriousness of the swamp and bush fires which have been raging between Cold Springs, Man., and The Narrows. He reports a large loss of property and untold loss of timber and damage to the land. The steamer Princess Beatrice has brought down the second shipment of wood pulp from the mills at Swanson Bay.
