CANADIAN PULP WOOD SCARCE.
No Supply for United States Paper
Mills After October Next.

OTTAWA, Can, Feb. l3.-That
United States pulp and paper mills
purchasing their pulp wood from Can
adian sources will be unable to secure
any such raw materials after October
next is statement officially endorsed
by the Canadian Pulp and Paper assoei-
alton, national body representative
Of the industry in ali parts of the
Dominion. The scarcity Of pulp wood
IN this country IS due to difficulty OF
cutting, owing to an unusually severe
winter and heavy fall of snow, and a
serious tangle in the railway transpor-
tation facilities. Difficulty of getting
ears or having them hauled TO the Unit
ed States border would in itself be suf-
ticient TO embarrass the numerous
American companies who, owning no
limits III Canada, are compelled to buy
their pulp wood in the open market.
Labor is also phenomenally scarce, the
government having sent to England and
France thousands of expert wood-cut
tiers in tho 'forestry battalions.
