. Canadian forest industries July-December 1922. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. Attractively piled lumber showing the facilities of a mechanical piler in half, reduction of the unpiling costs and doubling the storage capacity in the yard without increasing ground space. It is also contended that lumber-lifting equipment saves the expense of build- ing more foundations, reduces the loss in boards and quickens the drying of stock through high piling. Of great importance in any lumber yard, whether the location is an ideal one or not, is the pile foundation. Adequate pile founda- tions, embodying the permanent elements of plant fixtures, can scarcely be secured without resort to concrete blocks. The size of the foundation block and the number properly supporting any one pile are determined largely by experience, but the elements affecting the consideration are dimensions and species of the stock for piling, the height of the pile or quantity to pile, involving the subject of hand-piling from ground level, mechanical stacking or the elevated tram arrangement and the character of the ground upon which the pile rests. The points are variables, largely depending upon indi- vidual practice and conditions at particular mill Sir George Passes Another Milestone Sir George Halsey Perley, of Ottawa, former High Commis- sioner for Canada in London, Eng., and widely known in busi- ness circles from his connection with the forest products industry, celebrated his 65th birthday on September 12th and received the congratulations of many friends in various parts of the country.
