CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER Quebec and pulp and paper nulls at Haw keslmry, Out., and Merritton, Ont., and G. H. Perley it Company, of Ottawa, owning limits and sawmills in Que- bec, have combined their properties.

The new tirm will be called "The Riordon Paper Com- pany, Limited," and will produce newspaper and building paper, sulphite pulp, spruce and hardwood lumber, and clapboards. Considerable develop- ments will be undertaken in the near future. The Provincial Department of Lands, Forests and Mines has received a communication from Senator W. C. Edwards, head of the Edwards Lumber Company, calling attention to the advent of what is commonly called the spruce bud worm, among the growing spruce up the Gatineau river. Que. The depart- ment was notified that the Dominion Entomologist has been sent to investigate and has reported that so far not much damage has been done, Quebec alone suffering, but that the utmost care must be taken to prevent a spread. Mr. Aubrey White, Deputy Minister of Lands for Ontario, has instructed the pro- vincial forest rangers to investigate and report whenever there are any evidences of the pest. Great ravages have been wrought in the spruce forests of Maine from this cause, and the Government of that State has spent thousands of dol- lars in its efforts to combat the pest. So far Ontario's timber has escaped. The E. P>. Eddy Company, Hull. Que., have erected a conveyor to carry and distribute wood along 500 feet of ground between their sawmill and factory. The carriers start at an elevation of GO feet, and descend till the ground is reached, 500 feet away. The device is to save hauling, and by its use four teams and fifteen men can be dispensed with.
