At 700 board feet per cord, this makes 255 million cords of pulpwood available in the province, Of the 149,334 square miles of forest land only about one-third now carries timber of commer- cial value, and on 97,333 square miles of forest land the mer- chantable timber has been cut or destroyed by fire, aceording to the 1eport. Previous to 1917, only about 30 billion feet hag been cut in the province. Since most of this timber was cut on the coast, and from the heavier stands, the area logged probably does not ex- ceed 2,000 square miles. The orests on the remaining 95,333 square miles have been devoured by fire. The report eStimates that be- sides the area on which the com. mercial timber has been com- pletely devastated by fire, about one-half of the area still tim- bered with merchantable stands has suffered severely from fire. ee ee 1 aoe News Notes ee et ee Fe Fe ee ee et Fee Fountain pens free.
