60 CANADA LUMBERMAN Cargoes of B. C. Fir Arrive East by Boat On June 20th the "Canadian Carrier," one of the fleet of the C. G. M. M., left Vancouver with a cargo of lumber for Eastern ports. The route was by way of the Panama Canal, the vessel being the first steamer, we understand, to make the trip to Quebec ports via the canal. The "Canadian Carrier" arrived at Three Rivers on July 26 with a cargo of nearly two million feet of B. C. fir, about half of which was unloaded at Three Rivers for the construction of the Three Rivers Pulp & Paper Company's mill. The balance was destined for Sorel and Montreal, on account of the Canusa Export Company, Limited, Montreal. The latter company's stock was shipped by the H. R. Mac- Millan Export Company, Limited, Vancouver. The "Canadian Voy- ageur" of the same line is en route with a similar cargo. Will Not Erect Big Pulp Plant It is understood that the Three Rivers Pulp & Paper Co. of Three Rivers, Que., have abandoned the idea of establishing a large ground- wood plant in that city, owng to the rapid drop in the price of ground- wood pulp. When the project was first spoken of over a year ago, mechanical pulp Avas then commanding $150.00 a ton. Now it is almost a drug on the market at $25.00 a ton, and it cannot, it is said, be pro- duced for that price. It is understood that those behind the company will build a two-machne newsprint mill instead at Three Rivers, and use all the groundwood and sulphite they manufacture for the making of paper. It is not likely, however, that anything definite will be un- dertaken until the financial situation is more buoyant and the outlook for newsprint more encouraging. engineering and starts his work in September next. He is a graduate of the Sheffield Scientific School and the Yale Forest School, and is the winner of one of the much-coveted Swedish fellowships. He re- cently returned from a year's study in that country. It is a tribute to the work of the department of forestry of the University of New Brunswick that the provincial foresters of both New Brunswick and British Columbia are graduates of the New Brunswick school, and other graduates are holding responsible positions both in and out of the Dominion. Exhibit Car Attracted Big Crowds The Forest Exhibit Car, with French and English-speaking offi- cers aboard, has completed a successful tour of the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway. In addition to the stream of visitors to the car through the day, evening meetings were held at which addresses on forest protection were given and motion pictures shown. Parish priests and other local leaders took a prominent part in these meet- ings. The evening attendance varied from 650 at such points as Metabetchouan and St. Gedeon, to over 3,000 at Chicoutimi. At the latter place the grand stand of the Fair Grounds was used by the audi- ence and a special platform erected for the speakers. Forestry Schools Doing Effective Work As announced in a recent issue, the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, N.B., has created a new chair in forestry. Since the de- partment was established some thirteen years ago there has been but one technical forester in the employ of the university. The demand for foresters has been so heavy in recent years that a second instructor has been appointed, and it is hoped that-still further development will come in the near future. Albert V. S. Pulling has been professor of forestry for some years in the university, and is widely known in the eastern provinces for his interest and enthusiasm in the work. Bertram E. Claridge has been appointed professor of forestry France May Shut Out Canadian Pulp It is understood that France has granted Finland a new tariff schedule, which admits into France wood products at minimum rates. The question now arises—will this shut out Canadian pulp, and how will it affect the Canadian mills? There has been developed with France a satisfactory trade in pulp, and it was expected that this might be followed up by considerable business in the paper line. The pulp exports from the Dominion to France for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1920, amounted to $1,022,014, and for the year ending March 1st, 1921, they had more than doubled, being $2,155,415. Ten thousand copies of a new Forest Book in English and 10,000 copies in French are being prepared by the Canadian Forestry Asso- ciation for presentation to senior Boy Scouts and to senior boys in the French-speaking communities of Quebec.

Transmit 100 of Your Power Why pay good money to generate power and then employ a poor belt that will only trans- mit a fraction of that power. If you equip your mill with Goodhue Belts you can transmit 100% of the power generated. Goodhue Belts stretch 15% to 25% less than other belts and have just the right amount of "cling" on the pulley.
