February,1900 THE CJLUJLIDJL LUMBERMAN be located on the Ontario side of the Ottawa river or the New Brunswick side of the Resti- gouche river, he would not be allowed the rebate ot $ per cord on pulp wood, but would be classed in the same category as a person export- ing to the United States. This would simply mean that he could not compete with his compet- itor who had a mill in Quebec. The Riordan Pulp Company recently built a mill at Hawkesbury, on the Ontario side of the Ottawa, but they are dependent to some extent on Quebec for their timber supply. Hence they will be ser- iously handicapped by the Order-in-Council. Another disadvantage of the law would be the restriction of the number of pulp mill sites. It is not a difficult task to find a suitable site for a saw mill, but the number of first-class sites available for pulp mills is limited, and any legislation which would further restrict the number must hamper the industry without any compensating advant- age. The effect of this legislation may not be regard- ed as serious at the present time, but as the sup- ply of pine becomes less plentiful more attention will be given to the manufacture of pulp. Then the disadvantages will be more fully realized. The Ontario Government established a precedent for the Quebec Legislature by placing no restric- tion on the manufacture of spruce and pine tim- ber within the province, and permitting it to be manufactured anywhere in the Dominion. The latter government, however, places the provinces of Ontario and New Brunswick on exactly the same footing as the United States. It is improb- able that this was the intention of the Quebec Government, and no doubt the wording of the Order-in-Council will be so changed at the pres- ent session as to give equal rights to all owners of Quebec timber whether manufactured in one province or another.
