Lumbeting in B.C.

The lumbering industry in B,
B., says the Financial Times, is,
perhaps, reaching the heyday of
its history and cannot expand
much further for physical rea-
sons, such as Jack of labor, in-
adequate capacity to. supply the
‘demand, and lack of increased
transportation facilities. For the
ten months of the calendar year,
1,309,221,177 feet of logs have
been cut in the ‘province,
compares with 1,279,852,662 feet
for the ‘full calendar year of 1916
and with 991,780,200 feet for the
year 1915.
the total log scale for 32917 will
total 1,636,000,000. feet. Not
only is this a tremendous increase
in output, but the value of the
lumber due to the insistent de-
mand has increased considerably.
The value of the output for 1915
was $29,150,000, for 1916 $35,-
628,000, and it is estimated that
the value of .the lumber output
for 1917 will “approximate $48, -
000,000,

been forced to close down, owing,
we believe, to the inability to get
men and teams for hauling.
