Lumbering Provides The

British Columbia’s Rail

Imagine the effect on our rai] trans-
portation systems if half their outward
freight traffic were withdrawn.

Figures issued by the Dominion Bu-
reau of Statistica show that one-half of
the rail freight traffic originating in
British Columbia. is made up of forest
products.

Last year the railways carried well
over 2,000,000 tons of-lumber, shingles,
and other wood"products out of British
Columbia, :
At a low estimate the amount paid in
freight exceeded $25,000, 000,
