A land created on a Titan plan, of towering mountains, sweeping forests, horizon-bound plain, fertile valleys, expansive lakes and mighty rivers; all enterprise is conceived on a mammoth scale, and so in bringing these magnificent natural assets under human con- trol, undertakings have in many in- stances surpassed in magnitude any- thing previously un- dertaken.

Her forest resources are second to none and she is the world's first fur producer. She is surpassed by only one country in the production of pulp and paper and by one only in her wealth of water powers.
