We ead continually of the 'great

lumber, the Impression prevailing mat
the whole of a log can be cut Into'

make chose not engaged In the Business
understand why log cut to a given
order cannot be made to produce the

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

' ' 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

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.

f , some 60 years ago ' a syndicate - ef
capitalists conceived the idea of pierc
ing the Panama Isthmus and applied to
the United States of America and Co
lombia for a franchise to- do so. asking
that the United States and Great Brit
ain Join In a covenant to guarantee the
, syndicate protection in its operations
' during r the - construction and in the
canal's operation fter construction for
all time and against all nations. -
The Clayton-Bulwer treaty was there
by evolved and promulgated, that Instru
ment guaranteeing to the syndicate all
that . was desired, and declaring also
that the canal should be operated with
s out special favors, and that the vessels
of all nations should be treated alike.
The canal, however, was not built by
' this syndicate,.'' :;
V ; Vo Beaaoa for -Change.
Now, there was a . treaty between
, two nations that was carefully and pru
dently drawn In accordance with all the
conditions at that time apparent and
submitted; why then should , that In
, Ktrument be superceded later by th
Hay-Pauncefote treaty; simply because
- tne - personnel and conditions govern.
