AMERICANS SEEK
CANADA LUMBER
Buyers Flock to Big Centres,
but Supply Is Extremely
Short.

TORONTO, July 7.-Amerlcan lumber
dealers are hard after Canadian sup
plies. There are at the present time
several representatives of American
firms in Ontario, Quebec and British
Columbia trying to buy up ANY kind
OF stun SO long as II is lumber" Their
task Is not an easy one by any means
In fact 1t is doubtful II they secure
anything like an amount to warrant
their endeavors.
Canada Is short o. lumber-shorter
than she has been in n hundred years
In fact II IL only this last few days
that she has abandoned the idea or i'm
porting large quantities OF lumber from,
the United States. Ever since the
armistice was signed orders have been
increasing for all grades and kinds OF
lumber. The situation is now critical
Quebec has sold her entire stocks and
has promised to deliver within a stated
period more lumber to England and
France than the province usually cuts
in an entire year. Seven hundred mill
ion feet OF lumber Is called for In one
set of contracts issued by the imperial
authorities. Enormous orders, also for
European account. have been turned
down owing to the amount of stun now
on contract, and which cannot be deliv.
cred on time owing to the scarcity OF
supplies, strikes and shipping facilities.
Stocks are so short in and around
Toronto. Montreal and London that
building operations have been greatly
checked. Prices are a secondary con
alderation now, even though they are
anywhere from 10 TO IS per cent higher
than a year ago.
An inventory OF last winters cut now
shows that there was a falling off by
atn hat nf he
previous year and approximately 25 per
cent. less than in pre-war years. In
British Columbia. where the lumber In
dustry works through the summer jus,
the same as II does in the winter, the
mills are practically at a standstill ow-
ing to the labor unrest. For two months
or more the coolies were on strike over
an attempt TO cut their wages and just
as this strike was settled the general
walkout was called. The mills are still
practically closed and the indications are
| that they will continue SO for an in
definite period.
So that with its mills closed and more
contracts on hand than can be filled In
several months there is little hope of the
Americans procuring very much. IL any
lumber from Canada
Owing to the scarcity OF tonnage the
British authorities are building boats al
Victoria, Il. c., for the sole purpose OF
conveying lumber to England. These
ships are novel in that they are built
out of the lumber for export. The sys-
tenn is TO bolt the outside logs togethAr
after the raft style. The propellinE
power is in the form OF an engine which
sits on the back OF the ship and wher
| the boat is pulled 10 pieces at the end
of its journey the engine is shipped back
to Canada as ordinary freight. Tn,
, first of these vessels was 10 have SAILED

| ish Columbia for some time owing tc

New Dominion Day
Canada Now a Joint Administra.
tor of British Empire.

TlFTf-TWO years ago the Do
minion of Canada came into
= being. Until then the provinces
which now compose il were separate
colonies under the British crown with
a very limited form Of self-govern-
ment. Since 1857 the status OF Cam
ada has risen until our control of our
own AFFAIRS has become complete, but
by gradual evolution and without any
distinct epochal departure This year,
however. marks such departure. This
year, from the position Of mistress OF
her own affairs Canada advances to
that or joint administrator OF the af-
fairs OF the British Empire. She has
acquired nationhood of her own
within the British League of Nations.
This change has Just been signalled
by the inscription OF the signatures OF
Canadian delegates on the treaty Of
Versailles
BY the act performed on behalf OF
Canada by Hon. Charles Doherty and
Hon. Arthur Sifton at Versailles the
significance Of our national anuiver-
sary becomes obsolete In one sense
and is greatly enhanced In another.
Since We have become a nation the
anniversary of our birth IL OF greater
account than ever but It seems rather
insufficient, since II is the anniversary
OF our birth into a sphere We have
now left behind.
We can't very we'll have two birth
days, so the easiest way Ii TO attach to
Dominion Day the new Significance.
II has been won by the valor and
achievement OF the sons OF Canada in
. Flanders and France and by the ef-
fort and determination OF those who
remained at Unconstitutional IN Of

INDIANS BECOME THRIFTY.
Reservations show Increase I'm
Planting.

RnorNA, sask, July THE Indian In
Canada is a solved problem. The Gov
eminent years ago established boarding
and training schools for his benefit
The new generation is educated. The
old fashioned Indian who wrapped him
self in r. blanket and was content 70
live on Government rations is a thing of
the past.
The modern Indian is farmer He uses
the same scientific methods OF soil cult
walton and the same improved farm ma
chinery as his white brothers, and aver
ages as many bushels of wheat TO the acre.
He raises cattle. horses, sheep, hogs and
poultry. He lives in comfortable
house. He has hts automobile. He
markets his produce and buys his sup
plies. He is civilized, in short, and In
d. pendent.
The new status OF the Indian is en-
pha sized by a report on crop conditions
in the western Canadian Indian reserves
made by Commissioner Graham OF the
Indian Department On the three west
ern reserves the Indians have 10000
acres planted to wheat. oats and barley
this year. This includes $1,000 acres
on the greater production" farm oper'
ated by the Government for the In
dams benefit in Saskatchewan. Witt
n favorable summer season the Indians
will harvest 100000 bushels OF wheat
oats and barley in addition TO much hay
and fodder for live stock.
TIE Indians are following the lead
of white farmers in western Canada ant
are going in for mixed farming. Their
herds OF live stock are growing rapidly
and are being improved by pure bred

LESSON IN CAUTION
TAUGHT BY FAILURES
Canada Feels Reaction From
Expansion.

Special Correspondence to the Cdrddidr
Section Of THE SUN.
TORONTO, July IA learned essay
might be written on the relative places
OF optimism and pessimism in the de-
ada. Point is given TO this idea by a
few recent occurrences In the financial
history of the country, such as the fail
ure OF the Standard Reliance Mortgage
Corporation at Toronto and the criticism
OF tho City Council OF Calgary by the
Public Utilities Commission OF Alberta
The former incidents, as readers of
THE Sun know, was the fruit OF specu-
lation in unimproved lands near Toronto
| by subsidiary OF the mortgage corpo-
ration. Large areas were bought and
held. or money loaned on them, in the
expectation that tho boom would extend
| and make the market gardens TO blossom
as n garden suburb. The Alberta COM
missions protest was based on the fail
ure OF the city OF Calgary to avoid
deficits and TO administer it's finances az
| prudently as the commission thought
| should be done.
Calgary was not the only Western
city. by the way, TO suffer from over
expansion during the boom years. when

TORONTO, July City Aldermen are
often criticised for displaying parish

Section Of THE SUN.
To perpetuate their close ties of mutual
service in the great war, New Workers
who served under the British nag have
banded together and formed an associa-
ton. The name Of this new organization
Is THE British Great War Veterans of
America" and it is expected that within
a short time a suitable homo for Its
members will be secured.
The first meeting of the British vet
Grams was held on Thursday last in their
temporary quarters, the American Rail-
way Express Hall. Madison Square Gar
den. when provisional officers were
elected. +. c. Badgley. a well known
member OF the British War Mission. was
chosen president, while the other officers
elected were: First vice-president, ]. II.
II. Muirhead: second vice-president, NJ. j.
Mulligan secretary, c. G. Campbell ;
treasurer. st. John Belts. The executive
committee is composed OF Messrs. East
wood, George and c. l.. Richardson.
The British Great War Veterans of
America is being organized practically
along the same lines rs the American
Legion It Is afflliated with the Great
War Veterans Association OF Canada.
Inc, and efforts are now being made
to form an afflliation with tho American
Legion.
When tho British veterans first or
gained, they received an invitation to
become a Post of the American Legion
but later It was found that membership
in the latter organization was open TO
those who are American citizens only.
This precluded the new organization
from Joining the Legion. as the major
ity Of it's members are British citizens.
II the American Legion consents to an
affiliation with the British organization
the latter will form an important link
between the two great bodies Of war vet
Grams on this continent-the G. w. V. 4
OF Canada and the American Legion.
1t is estimated that there are between
three and four thousand men residing in
New York who have fought with the
British and Canadian forces. Member
ship in the British Great War Veterans
of America is open to all Of these, and
the officers confidently hope that most OF
these men will become members OF the
association. Already over four hundred
applications for membership have been
received.
Applications for membership should
be addressed TO the secretary. British
