CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 25 A Bad Time for the Dokis Sale. 5 In the House of Commons recently Mr. Perley, , referred to the impending sale by the Government of the timber on the Dokis Indian reserve on the French River. He told the Government that they should not bring on the sale at the present time, as the conditions of the lumber market were so unsettled that they could not possibly obtain a good price for the timber. He also pointed out that insuf- ficient time was being given to examine the limits, as the sale was to take place on June 24.

Mr. Oliver, Minister of the Interior, was not in the House at the time, and no official answer was obtained to Mr. Perley's remarks, nor has one since been given. In referring to this matter in our last issue mention was made of the fact that under the ordinary law, the logs cut on this reserve, being under Dominion .-jurisdiction, could be exported to the United States, although on account of the superior facilities for manufacturing in Ontario there was no probability of pthis occurring. In this case, however, it appears that the Dominion r Government has fallen in with the Ontario custom, and has made it one of the conditions of the sale, that the logs cannot be exported to the United States. The University Forestry Quarterly, Vol. VI., No. 1. has just been issued. It will be found unusually interesting to lumber- men. An extensive article upon "Logging by Steam" is included, which gives an account of the methods of wire rope logging, generally called steam logging, in such a manner as to enable lumbermen to judge of the suitability of these methods to their own conditions. Among the other articles are: "Notes on the Girard Estate," by Jay F. Bond; 'The
