" We ead continually of the 'great Waste permitted In the manufacture of lumber, the Impression prevailing mat the whole of a log can be cut Into' merchantable product and disposed of at vwllLv It Is exceeding! difficult to make chose not engaged In the Business understand why log cut to a given order cannot be made to produce the - amount of lumber it scaled In the rough or- that there should be anyslses f " lumber cut from the log that would not apply on the given order or that there hould be any siaes of lumber cut that there, is not in immediate market tor. The foreign markets to ; which " our manufacturers export their products re quire different dimensions, each so dls tinctly different that a single glancet at the specification or an -order will indi cate to the expert for which country it . Is intended and to fill an order,- say of 1,000,000 feet, it may require l.VtiO.OOO feet of. logs to do so, leaving the 1,008, 000 feet of side lumber to be disposed of ..at.a probable Joss.--:;' v. -iv f ? , '; " Market Xa Veeessary. ' ' The ability of the manufacturer to produce a 'high grade of -lumber will ' not constitute success If he la unable to -., dispose of his elde lumber to advantage, ; and should he by any means be de prived of -a market for the latter product he is perforce prevented from producing the former, consequently his operations must cease, at least to an ex tent that will meet the existing condl British Columbia today has the finest and most extensive body of timber on me coast, consisting of fir. spruce and , cedar. There are mills situated on tide water that have the same foreign mar kets that , we . have, available to them and are as capable of supplying those markets as we are and at probably a t lesser cost If they could dispose of the side lumber they Are compelled to pro- . duce In cutting dimension lumber. But -they , cannot dispose of any more than ' the country tributary to them can con urne. therefore their operations In the foreign market r restricted accord ingly. - . "tin the opening: of Atlantic coast - trade to our willmen for the disposition - of : their side lumber, they will be able to increase their sales la the direction of foreign market, but with Jb open ing on the Atlantic there can t no la crease In. the foreign trade.: ' Effect rials to Be Been.. . Should, however, the mills of British Columbia be enabled to reach our mar kets : on the Atlantic, the ' restrictions . that are now upon them In the foreign . trtde would be 'removed, they could readily stretch out and possess' them- selves of the foreign trade we are now enjoying and practically put "our mills out of business by relegating them to local and California trade only. . WUh out anything further on my part. It Is 7 eat,y to perceive what effect this would be on the leading Industry oMbVstate. i ne jsngiiita newspapers, fit congrat ulating the United States on the suc cessful completion" of the Panama canal, ; adverted to the controversy existing between the two nations with reference . to ' the canal tolls , and , the exemption therefrom for coastwise vessels of this country, concluding- with the statement that President Wilson was not in favor of exempting our local vessels from .tolls, and as it was evident that the president controlled congress, Great Britain : could congratulate itself that the provisions contained ln the Hay.
