"Post" owned by the St. Maurice Paper Co., Three Rivers, Que., and situated at La Riviere aux Rats ritory are: Brown Corporation Ltd., La Tuque; Laurentide Company Ltd., Grand'Mere; Belgo-Canadian Pulp and Paper Company Limited, Shawinigan Falls; St. Maurice Paper Com- pany, St. Maurice Lumber Company, Wayagamack Pulp and Paper Company Limited and J.

They are direct- ed towards a post or a section of logging operations in a cer- tain part of the company's limits. This is done by rail or by boat; in the former case by using the National Transcontin- ental and in the latter by means of some small boats plying be- tween Grand'Mere afld La Tuque on the river which is navi- gable for a four-foot draught a distance of eighty miles. At convenient points, in the heart of their respective ter- ritory, companies maintain posts, towards which radiate all their traffic. There each company maintains a staff of clerks, who receive reports on the progress of log operations in the sector to which they are attached. These posts are connected with the head office by telephone and telegraph. Generally such posts are located along the river St. Maurice or a railroad and there is also a general store or a kind of warehouse.
