Domestic Market Develops.

The domestic market for Canadian
pulp and paper products-includins' OF
course, tho United States. which ABB
serbs about Sc per cent. OF the totai
output-has developed amazingly In the
last sIx or eight years. The develop
ment was accelerated. to some extent
during the war, by the Increased use
of newsprlnt as we'll as by the fact
that Scandinavian and European pulp
was virtually shut out OF this market
for the time being. Foreign competi-
ton Is again asserting Itself. but the
Canadian product is more than holding
its own. The market continues strong.
with no signs OF any retrogression. For
short time. after the signing OF the
arnnistice, the demand for kraft and
other paper used for commercial pur-
poses fell orf-owing, doubtless, to the
general belief that slump in prices
would be one OF the Immediate conse-
ouences OF the cessation of war. When
the slump failed 10 materialize, how
ever buyers came into the market with
renewed strength. The demand for this
class of products temporarily eclipses
the supply.
Newsprint paper. the staple commod-
Ity~of the industry, is OF course in con-
slant and steady demand. with the In
dications of an upward trend in prices
owing TO the impossibility of overtak
ing the consumers requirements Some
new machines have been added TO the
Canadian mills in the last few months.
and other expansions are planned, but
the demand more than keeps pace with
these additional Developments.

Changes Made by War.

As TO the pulp situation, one Of the
effects OF the war was to change the
relative positions OF the Canadian sui
phite pulp industry and that OF the
European pulp producing countries. so
that the cost OF production was lower
In Canada than in Europe-a reversal
Of pre-war conditions. Russia, the great
source OF Europe's wood supply, went
out OF business entirely, while Germany
and Austria, formerly the chief pro-
ducers OF high grade pulps, ceased TO be
market factors. The war period, too.
witnessed much progress in the methods
OF acid making and in the tumbler bark
ing OF wood. the one improving the
quality and the other increasing the out
put and diminishing costs
Carl R!ordon, a leading authority on
the Canadian pulp industry, says:
THE chemical pulp industry OF Amer
lea, and more particularly OF Canada.
stands to-day on the threshold OF a
great development News print has long
since passed into the category OF staple
commodities, OF which America not only
supplies her own wants but has much 10
spare for export. Now II is the turn OF
chemical pulp Ten years ago a large
part of the chemical pulp consumed in
America was imported from abroad. the

Another important measure of growth
is found in the consumption OF pulp
wood, which in 1918 was 1,4o5.Ss6 and
in 1917 was 2.104.334 cords, or an in
crease OF nearly so per cent. during the
same period The total cut OF pulpwood
was 2,355,55o cords in 1918 and 3,122,-
1888 cords in 1917. exports of pulpwood
having risen from e49,714 cords in 1915
to 1,0l7,S54 cords in 1917.
The production OF wood pulp in Can
ada in 1917 in all classes OF mills
amounted to l,464,30s tons, compared
with 1,2s6,0s4 tons in 1915 and l,0I4.-
sos tons in 1915. or the ial7 product
sO4,472 tons were ;.sed by the producing
mills in the manufacture OF paper, while
65s.s36 tons were made for sale. The
amount received for pulp sold was 1884,
s24,S26, or an average price ton for
all classes of pulp of S49.75. The aver
age value OF the different kinds OF pulp
made for sale was $20.06 for ground
wood, sT2.3l for sulphite fibre and $3.50
for sulphate fibre. The export price OF
mechanical or ground wood pulp in 1917
was S2s,S2 and OF chemical pulp S1S.Ol
The value of the entire output OF wood
pulp II calculated at the average price
Il ton realized for that portion which was
sold would be S72,S49,323.
The consumption OF pulp wood in al

or cut from own limits, was 2,l04,3SI
cords, of the value OF sls,sl74s3. IN

or nearly 4s.7 per cent, in the two

Of Sagadahoc county from $17OO
to $4,000 per annum.
The statement Of facts accompany
ing the act says in part:
THE salary Of the clerk Of courts
was fixed at $1,000 per annum in 1906
when the fee system was abolished
throughout the State and the only
change that has ever been made in
it was a small increase Of 500 in
1915.
"The population of Sagadahoc
county as a whole has increased and
the population of the city of Bath dur
ing the last five years. at a conserva
tive estimate. has nearly doubled. The
business of the Office of clerk of
courts has very largely increased,
not only on account of the increased
population and litigation, but also on
account of the enactment of various
statutes which impose upon the clerk
new and additional ministerial duties.
THE general high cost of living is
perfectly well known, but it is per-
haps not so we'll known that the cost
of living in Bath, as shown by gov
eminent reports, ranks it among one

CHICKEN THIEF
IS WORTH $500

Granville. Oct. 31-Hunters coming
out of lockwood report that farm
err near one of the camps, seeking to
catch a chicken thief trapped a silver
gray fox one night this week. The
fox was alive and uninjured when
found next morning and is said to
be worth about $500. The silver
gray fox is very rare in the Maine
woods today and for this reason is
very valuable. 1t used to be very
common in Maine and many years
ago when the islands in outer Penob-
scot Bay were discovered they
abounded with silver grays and for
this reason were called the Fox Is
lands and are still called by that
name although better known as Vim
alhaven and North Haven the names
under which towns were incorpor-
ated.
The lockwood man feels amply re-
paid for the loss of a few chickens
for the fox will net him a neat little
seasons income.

1T is true that the present in

equally true that he had a right to
expect that unusual conditions would
