Tuesday, Dec. 21, 1926 GEORGE GRAHAM REAL ACQUISITION TO SENATE. . Never was a Senate appointment more happy than that of Rt. lion. George P. Graham. With a career of many years of valuable public service behind him, he will take into the Red Chamber a dignified personality and energy that sixty-seven summers leave undiminished. Of quiet and happy disposition and a statesman of the highest rank, it is doubtful if there is a more generally popular and able public man in Canada than he. Beloved by his own party and respected by all others, he will take fine attributes to the higher house. If the general personnel of the Canadian Senate was all of the same integrity and high type as George P.-Graham, that body would not be open to the criticism that has sometimes been levelled at it. BIG INTERESTS ARE IN FIELD I'OltTLAMI CAVU, CAMP II It i:KS INTO NEW ST.M1K )' DKYKI.OIV .MKNT, SAYS STttVAKT I'.ltlTOK ThcPortland Canal mining field hat cow reached the stage where the preliminary period of amall local specula-tlon ha passed and outside capital from big corporations is entering to operate the field, according to H. W. M. Rots-ston, publisher and editor of 'The Portland Canal News of Stewart, In an Interview with the Victoria limes. The Portland Canal Is now established as one of the greatest mining camps on the continent arid . with 1927 development will be still more pronounced as a number of properties come Into production, he said. "White a lot of people may be Inclined to Judge the developments In the Portland Canal by the stock market, this H not a criterion of the actual development of this district. As 1926 hie without question, and is acknowledged so by all the mining men In the district, to have been the biggest development year In the history of the Portland Canal. Mr. Ralston said. KXI'KMHTIHKH The feature of this Is that exceptionally good results have been obtained In every section of the district. l)"hlle there were not as many opera-Uons In 1926 as in 1923, due to the lack Df capital In the case of a number of Jthe small operations, still it Is consld-1 ered that more money has been actually 1 spent In equipment and development this year. It has been estimated that In the neighborhood of 1750.000 was so expended this last season.

Construction operations in Canada in 1924, 1925, and during the current year have been on an extensive scale, but there has been tf very rapid expansion in the use of substitutes for wood, and there in lies one of the principal causes of the difficulties surrounding the lumber industry. An investigation of conditions In the United States revealed that since 1909 the consumption of lumber had declined by nearly 20 per cent, while the use of substitutes had In-Teased by 190 per cent As fully two-thirds of the production of Canadian lumber must be disposed of in the foreign markets, our foreign trade is a most important factor. Compared with the exports of logs, lath and lumber in the twelve months ending 30th September, 1925, those for .the corresponding period this year show a slight decline. The United States is the largest outside market for the disposal of Canadian timber products, but the mills in that country proride keen competition in other markets, especially the Australian and Oriental. Shipments of Canadian logs, lumber and lath to the United States for the iwelve months ending 30th September show a slight decrease in comparison with those for the same period in 1924-25, and In view of the great construction program across the border this decrease in sale theremight at first be considered a poor record. In reality, the Canadian operators have done well almost, to hold their own .in that market, as the American mills, particular some of those on the Pacific 'oast which have bond interest to earn, have forced the sale of their products and have thus furnished larger supplies for domestic consumption. A decline In construction In the United States is expected next year, but one of thebest authorities Jiwints out that while the country's requirement for many classes of building have beee met, the present prosperity and the surplus funds available for investment may prevent a marked recession in construction. There js still heavy consumption of lumber for house building In Great Britain, but the market in general has been weak as a result of unfavorable industrial conditions. Fortunately, the decline n shipments to the American and British markets has been largely offset by increased exports to tither countries, notably Japan, which, In the eleven months ending In August last, bought nearlv 2finnnA. 000 feet, of Canadian logs, lumber and timber squares; in the pre-i ious eieven monins its purchases were about 135,000,000 feet. This market seems t have recovered from the weakness caused by excessive importations following the earthquake two years ago, and while competition is keen, it offers excellent prospects for Canadian pi. porters. The trade, with Australia and New Zealand in the pastl jear was oi about the same volume as In the previous twelve j mp. what may prove to be the south-months, but there has recently been a stronger demand which Is'fm "tension of the Dunweii me, likely to lie maintained if agricultural conditions in the cnuntrtoithr ' wy promising outcrops re- ' A. 1 1 i .a . .

It has been asserted that mistakes have been made', perhaps so. But If the srt-nation V carefully gone into- and comparisons drawn with the operations of wme of the Urge and highly efficient operating companies, it would be found that any mistakes that Dunweii may have made are minor as compared with those rhade by some of these same large operating companies, in spite of the fact tnst they t have complete organizations and Dunweii had to create Its own organization. Oood progress Is being msde with the Dunweii mlU. the planning of which and Installation has been done by one of the most competent and experienced firms on the continent, which should ensure Its success.
