terday. He says that the Weyerhauser
syndicate. which has just closed a deal
for 100000 acres of Northern Pacific tim
Der lands in this state has invested cav
lily in Canadian timber lands within the
past ten days.
Tho Canadian government he said
yesterday, ION December 20 held sale
of 400 square miles OF timber land in the
Algoma, Nippissing and Rainy river dis
trcts. A large number Of the Michigan
and Minnesota lumbermen were there and
did some lively bidding. Representatives
of the Weyerhauser syndicate purchased
about LIS square miles, and several other
American representatives took smaller
slices.
1.-THE terms of the sale prohibit the ex-
port OF the logs to the United States. 1t
Is believed to be the intention of the
Weyerhouser people to hold the area, as
the demand for lumber In the United
States during the coming years is bound
to advance prices of Canadian timber
lands before long.
