To the Honorable Thr Monster of AgncuUure and to the
Members of tlie Counril of Agrirulture of the
Province of Quebec.
Gentlemen,
I have the honor {o make the following report of m
mission to the Paris Universal Exposition. It I scarcdv
necessary to mention here, that, after the return of the
Hon. Mr Dechene from the Exposition in July last
knowing that I would be leaving in a short time to attend
the Exposition m my capacity of Secretary to the Cana-
dian Commission, the Honorable Gentleman asked me to
act in the interest of the Province of Quebec and to
contm..eth«workhehft.lthor. be-^UM. K„rni«hod with
all the iiifonnat.on and necvssarv instructions lor the
thor.)u«-h understandintr of ih.. objects proposed to be
attained. I a,.c«pt..d. with pleasure. hi8 proposnl Ihat Ishould
do ..v..ry thing in iny power to be us.hil to «he Province
ot Quebec. Ui^.n my arrival in Paris I at once reco-ni/ed
tho results of his presence there, the jury havinir
already ,:, several sections, rewarded the Province of
tiu»'bec in quite a special manner.
My duty was to push forward in the same direetion
as he had done, and I believe that I can safelv state that
Cnna-la and above all the Province ofQuebec, wassoremar-
kablysucceslul at Paris that a complete report of the same
s ould have been intrusted to a better qualilied
and experienced chronicler than myself. Fortunately
the correspondents of th. various Canadian news-
papers at Paris have given full accounts of the
bri Iiant exhibition of the products of the Province
and ot the great commercial advantages to be derived
from the rame. All nations at the jrreat Exposition have
recognised the enviable position which she has secured
through the industry of her people and through the
quahtv, and richness of her products and resources The
deveopment of agri-ulture, of manuf\vctures, ot the mer-
cantile marine, of the fisheries, and of general commerce
throughout Canada and particularly in the Province of
Quebec, during the last 50 years, has been a real revelation

The further object of this pamphlet was to reply in

thems..lve.s to persons visiting the Exposition, concrnln..
the trophies of agriculture, of horticulture, of the forest''

Province at the Exposition with the very legitimate desire
to take a position with other nations and to attract fo.ej.ru
capital to ;„d in the development .d' the inexhaustable
resources of our Province, to attract a good class of colonists
to our shoies and lastly to open luw .narkets for the sale
of those products of the country of which nuraerou, and
magnihcent samples were exhibited at Paris.
The Government of Quebec obtained the realization
ot Its object in making th.. country known even beyond
Its hopes. Buies' pamphlet, which was distributed to a
hundred thousand people, and the display ot the various
products, highly spoken of by the ICuropean press and bv
the visitors to the IJxpositioii, testified to the truth of the
descriptions gnen in the pami.hlet.

EXHIBITION
OF THE
Products of Canada, in France*
(A RBVIEW OF THE PAST)
Before euteriug upon the details of the Exposition ot
1900, we believe it will be interesting to take a retrospective
view ot what Canada has done in the past in matters of
European Expositions and of the part taken therein by
the Province of Quebec.
When Jacques Cartier, in 1534. upon his return from
his explorations in the Eastern part of the country, now
known as Canada, was received in audience, by the King
of France, he had naturally to reply to various questions
concerning the inhabitants, their country, the products of
the same, the possibilities of commerce, the climate, the
rivers of the lands which he had discovered.
Cartier had brought back with him upon his ship,
Donnacona, the chief of the then best known Indians of
Canada, accompanied by other of the aborigines so as to
give an idea of the appearance and physiognomy of
these people. He had also in his possession samples of
minerals and other native products to demonstrate the
value of his discoveries.

Almost superhuman efforts were necessary to

J!-xposition. A committee of fourteen members of the
J^ogislative Assembly was named, to which were joined
the Municipal Councils of the Trovince, the wadens and
mayors, the presidents and secretaiies of .jricultural
Societies and of Mechanics' Institutes.
Notwithanding every effort to have the country show
to advantage, large quantities of various products had to
be purchased, as the local and Provincial Expositions
laiied to bring out the required articles.
The crowning result of such vast effort to brin<.
together the desired collection, was that the total value
olthe Exhibits from Canada, wa. under $10,000.00, and
the value of the entire exhibits from British North America
was a tnfie over $15,000.< 0.

The contrast between the abundance of the present
exhibits and the scarcity of those of I«5I. gives a just idea
of the development of the Dominion of Canada during

many interviews and much trouble, and a long corres-

French authorities, it was only on the first of January 181)9

♦h„f Jk *^' "'''"'" ""■ '^'' «°"^«PO"dence it became evident,
hat the space granted to the colonies as a whole, would
leave^to Canada absolutely insufficient space for a perfect
Exhibition of her products. (Jpon Honorable Mr. Fisher's
representations we were enabled to obtain considerable
additional space m the Section of the British Empire
beyond the space already ^ranted in the Colonial Pavilion.
This Pavilion, situated in the park of the Trocadero
m ^ew of the Champ de Mars, and facing the frmou;
Eiffel tower, covered 36,000 square feet, of which Canada
received 27,000 feet. In this Pavilion \.-oductrofe"^^^
kind were exhibited : the Canadian Commission havin^
absolute control. "aviug,
to the countries of their productiott as was the ease il
former Eipos.t.ons. Thus the spaee allotted to Canada in the
imperial section was subdivided between the diffc"enl
classes which couid not be grouped in one block asThe
Canadian Exhibit, although the articles exhibited w re
accompanied by the complete and easily distinsuirhed
address of the Exhibitor. Canada had ,2 000 squtreTeet
m the diHerent classes in the section of the British Em
— li-
lt may be here stated that the space reserved for
Canada was much too small for the products of such an
extensiv.. t.-rritory. In eon>e(iuence of which it was
necessary to make a most judicious selection of articles for
Exhibition, so that the mostp.-rfect samples alone should
be displayed in order lo establish their value or to main-
tain their reputation.
The Government wished to take charge of the Exhi
bition of certain classes but even in these cases, it counted
upon the cooperation of local organizations and of interested
parties, to enable it to complete its collections in mine-
ralogy, agriculture and in the products of the forests and
of the fisheries in which all parts of the country should be
represented. In manufactured articles the spirit of enter-
prize of the private exhibitor had to be chiefly relied
upon.
It was determined that the Federal Government
would undertake the free transportation of all exhibits
from certain sea ports of Canada to Paris. The unpacking,
placing in position and guardianship of articles during
the Exposition as well as the repacking and return to
Canada, of all articles not sold in Paris were equally at the
charge of the Government.

hxpct.on. upon his arrival in Pari., had lar-e cards,
indicating the locality of production, plac.-d upon divers
products of the Province of (Quebec and obtained for them
a more prominent position than they had received.
This change, joined to the explanations given by the
honorable c mmissioner to the difF-rent jurie.s, upon the
qualities or he Quebec exhibit... had the effect of havinir
these exm.it.s judged separately and of obtaining special
prizes for the Province instead of p, allotted collect-
ively as exhibits of the Dominion. Kv . ry one is agreed
upon the fact that ,f the Province showed up with so
much splendour, and was enabled to reveal the richness of
her resources and her productions, in a word if the 1 ro-
vince was able to causi' herself to be known and so highly
thought of by the entire world.it is mostly due to the
point iramed by the Honorable Commissioner who caused
the Quebec Exhibits to be distinguished from those of the
other Provinces and who fought so determinedly to obtain
special prizes for them.
Other causes which contributed largely to the know-
ledge and appreciation of the Province of (iuebec at Paris
were the eloquent>peeches of the honorable Mr. Dechene
at the meetings of the National Society of Agriculture of
France, where he gave lucid descriptions of the Province
ol Its institutions, of its revenues, of the immense procrr.gs

Ir consideration of the great advance made in t e
dairy industry in our Province and of the expectations of
our farmers in the profits from the same, it was our dutv
to take a high stand in the section of the Exposition

but a vast forest, but when the colonists arrived the clearing

except Norway, can compare with her in the timber trade'
Farms formerly covered with timber have been trans-
formed into meadows and fields w^here agriculture has
prospered to a marvellous degree. The produce exhibited
are the best proofs of this. Here are seen the wheat, barley
rye und oats from the vast plains of Manitoba ; further on
meats, leathers, mounds of butter and cheese, or in one
word, of every thing which is produced from the great
herds which graze in the regions of the St Lawrence
Kiver."
Before giving the decisions of the jury in class 40 of
the Universal Exposition of 19. 0, it is but right to mention
the Diploma of Honor awarde<! to the Minister of A"-ricul-
tureof the Province by a jury of the most distinguished
men of Europe and of the United States and this after the
most serious consideration of our endeavours crowned
with the most complete success We have secured
the highest testimony in favor of the agricultural classes
of the Province who devote their attention to the dairy
nidustry, a class to which has been awarded the diploma
of the grand prize with the maximum number of points
for the products exhibited.

the reasons given for so doing were the ordinary leasons
It would not be necessary to do more than publish the

It is to hoped that the farmers will redouble their
efforts lo bring the best of milk to the creameries and
cheese factories and that the butter and cheese makers
will not neglect to inform thenselves of and to put into
practice the most perfect systems of manufacture, of packing
and of refrigeration. Other nations, seeing Canada secur-
ing the best paying markets of the world, will do every
thing possible to wrest them from us. Upon this point
there can be but one opinion.
It is quite true (hat many European producers
exclaim : " How can we compete with Canada where the
" G-overnments assist the agricultural classes by every
" means in their power. Here we are insufficiently assisted
" by our Governments. " But whatever may be the
assistance given by the government to the dairy industry,
we must never lose sight of the fact that without any aid
from their governments our foreign competitors keep
themselves well informed of every progressive movement
and know well how to take advantage of it. The Canadian
farmer may then count upon the government giving him
some assistance, but in this as in every other business he
must not forget the uld adage which says " Help yourself
and God will help you."
"With reference to the system of Refrigeration or cold,
storage set up in the Canadian pavilion by the Linde Co ,
it astonished all who saw it. Mr. de Varigny, editor of
the "Temps" of Paris, declared that he had been amazed at
it as well as at the practical results obtained. This journal
further drew the attention of its readers to the surprises
obtained by an examination of our freezing apparatus
which leaves France lar behind in inventions of this
nature.

vhich the neighboring farmers bring their milk and
where the division of the product in cheese takes place ;
this division being based not upon the weight of the milk
furnished by each individual but upon its richness in fatty
matter, which causes great rivalry among the parties em-
ploying the foctory to obtain the richest milk.
And iinally to the system of refrigeration, not only
•during the manufacture but also during the transpor-
tation both by sea and railro.d of the manufactured
product as well as for its preservation in the docks at the
pons where it is received.
With the ol)ject of encouraging the establishment of
<:old storage chambers in creameries the government
allows preniums to all proprietors having them installed
m their factories. The Minister of Agriculture has also
accorded premiums to all factories erecting good ripening
rooms for cheese.
A matter of general observation and attention in the
Canadian pavilion in the Trocadero, was a glass case
through which a current of cold air. produced by a Linde
cooling plant set up in the basement, which permitted
the display of butter, cheese, eg-s, apples, &c., in full
view of the public during the whole period of the Expo-
sition and in a periect state of preservation.
To give an idea ot the annual expansion of the dairy
industry in Canada, it is sullicient toUate that the number
of creameries and cbeese factories in the Dominion were
i7-So, in 1891, and ^049, in 1»09.
At the time of the visit of the jury of class 40 to the
permanent Exposition in the Trocadero, about fifteen indi-
vidual exhibitors and associations as well as a collective
— 28 —
exhibit from the Departments of Agriculture for the various
rroyinces of the Dominion, were entered on the official
cataloguo All the.se exhibitors were not represented
per contra, cheeses of other makers not entered on th^
catalogue were among those submitted to the jury.
The^ produce submitted to the jury consisted in butter
ot very fine quality, packed in wooden cases perfectly
conditioned for exportation and o*" cheese of the quality
inown as Cheddar, some coloured and some uncoloured
It must be admitted that owing to the impossibility
of obtaining cold storage for the butter during its transit
from Liverpool to Paris it had lost something of its
freshness, but the cheeses were perfect.
The Canadian Commis.sioner having requested that
the produce should be examined as a collection, it i. im-
possible to make special mention of each article.
But from the examination of the v.-hole collection the
loJlowing impression was the result : that of its kind.
Canadian cheese may have rivals, but has no superiors,
tor which reason the jury of class 40 accorded to the
collection of the Canadian producers the Diploma of the
Grand I ri.e, with the maximum ot points, and the same
to each of the Departments of Agriculture of the Provinces
of (Quebec and Ontario.
To sum up the matter ihe produce of the dairy in-
dustrymthe Canadian Exposition was one of the most
important and most noticed among them all.'
Before o^oncluding this chapter lot us see how the
jrMo ""^ Agriculture of France, of the 19th
July. 1900, appreciated our exhibit.
— 29 —
The foUowiua: is an extract from an article specially
•dedicated to Canada :
'• Finally st-e the cheese and butt -r of Canada, always
forwarded and preserved fresh by means of the Linde
Relrigerator.
in this i)roduce we see that which proclaims more
than anything else the progress of Canadian agriculture.
During the past year Canada exported over 200
millions of pounds of butter.
Further we have repeatedly pointed out the ever
increasing importance of the dairy industry principally
in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec."
Now let us take a rapid glance at the production of
butter in France, Belgium and Denmark.
France herself obtdned a larger number of prizes than
any other country represented at the Kxposition of Paris
for fresh butter and the numerous kinds of cheese and
condensed milk.
In thQ Machinery Hall, on the Champ de Mars, there
were complete and perfect creameries in which butter
was being made every day. The milk was brought in
from the country passed through several strainers and
then placed in the separators, where the butter was
made in the presence of the pubiic who bought and
tasted it. The machines and vessels used in the%ariou8
operations were kept in the most perfect state of clean-
liness and the men and women, making the butter, were
•clothed in garments as white as snow.
— 80 —
Fresh butter without any salt in it. brings the highest
price, the majority of the jury preforing it to the butters of
Belgiun., Denmark or Canada, which were all slijrhtlv
salted. ^ ^
In Paris, butter perfectly f rosh and swoet as cream is
most in demand and sells at Irom 40 to 50 cents a pound,
Canadian creamery salt butter is looked upon as kitchen
butter and is retailed at from '20 to 30 cents of our money
per pound.
Canadian butter cannot be profitably exported now to
France, while Canadian cheese is highly thought of and
worth from 15 to 18 cen's a pound. The French customs
duties and the city toll (octroi) in Paris are high, but still
French dealers import a considerable quantity of Canadian
cheese from England.
Dairy indostry in Belgium and Denmark
For several years past Belgian land owners have
provided themselves with small separators of various
kinds and make their butter at home. They find
this system more profitable th^m sending their milk to
the cooperative creameries. This practice, which is
spreading, injures the cooperative establishments and
makes the exportation of Belgian butter diflicult as it is not
of uniform quality.
There are 2,5C0 separators or hand skimmers in
operation on Belgian farms and 300 cooperative creameries.

Th(^ I'rovince of Quebec was largely represented in
the wood Kectiou. More than thirty satnples oi' our forest
trees were shown to advantage in the Canadian pavilion
and in the court of forestry. There was also a lot of pulp
wood, pealed mechanically— a lot of butter boxes and
other things. In fact so well was Canada represented
both by the Government aad by private exhibits, that she
made an excellent showing in the section of building and
pulp wood.
In the Court of Forestry at Paris, Canadian woods

Besides this there is the certainty that the Canada
spruce forests will never become unstocked owing to the
rapid growth of the spruce tree, and the manufacture of
pulp will be continued for all time because Canada is the
only country in the world which has sufficient water
power to keep the pulp mills in perpetual operatio?i.
In an editorial article, " L; Bois, " a newspaper
published by Mr. E. Julien at Paris, recommended the
direct purchase of wood in Canada, and made the follow-
ing allusions to the forest wealth of the country :
" Canada. — Auain another ccuntry where the lumber
business is the preponderating trade. The specimens
exhibited in the galleries of the Court of Forestry cannot,
notwithstanding their numbers and variety, give any idea
of the importance of the business of which they are the
objeci. Among the specimens shown are sections of white
elm and Douglass fir trees of prodigious size.
" The kinds of woods most generally used are white
and black spruce (epiceas). The first is preferred for the
manufactuie of wood pulp a business of large ])roportions
in the country. White cedar (, thuya), spruce (sapin) are
used for beams, post, fencing, &c. Red and white pine
are highly prized for construction purposes. In Europe
the latter kind, known as Weymouth pine is considered
of inferior quality.
Canada exports annually 133 millions worth of
lumber the greater part of which is sent to Jingland and
the United States. The local consumption is enormous,
it is put down at 40,535,000 cubic meters. Exportation
accounts for about 10 million cubic meters. If the waste,
resulting from the want of vifficient care in working, is
taken into account, it will je toand that the enormous

Could Canada not furnish a j^reat part of this wood
to Rutland ? Our interest should be to study the kind,
size and quality of the timber required for the mines.
The fact that Sweeden and Norway I'lrnish quantities
of these posts to Ivigland shows us that Canadian woods,
which are the same as those to be found ijrowin"- in the
Northern parts of Europe, would be equally suitable for
the purposes pointed out.
Before concluding these remarks on the woods of
Canada, the reproduction of the writings of Mr. Julieii, in
the newspaper '• Le Bois", of the Ist Oecerabet, 1900, will
not be without interest :
'• Up to the present time, he say, French buyers have
not treated directly with the lumber merchants of Canada.
We believe they could avoid buying through the inter-
mediary of (he english houses of London and Liverpool
by con nunicating with the french consulates
The " Patriote de I'Est " wrote :
Here before us we have paper made from wood. For
some years past the consumption of paper has grown
to such enormous proportions that, to supply the same,
recourse had to bo had to new processes. One of these
consists in chopping tine the fibres of wood and converting
into paper the pulp thus obtained. Although still of
inferior quality the wood paper is being more and more
used every day, this arises principally from its moderate
cost. Canada with its immense forest reserves is one of
the countries which furnishes the largest portion of this.
The " Moniteur Officiel du Commerce ", published a
circumstancial report of Mr. Gabriel Hostachy from which

loss rivers and streams flowing into Lake Si. John, which

force of 700.000 horse power which oaii be utili^^ed for
manufacturing purposes. This amount of power, is said
to exceed that which could be produced by the whole
of the water courses of Norway and Sweeden."
Mr Ilostachy concluded his excellent report as fol-
lows :
" In 1899, France imported 86,078,319 kilos of manu-
factured pulp valued at 17,.ir,,664 francs, of which
b6,HJ4^20 kil.)s came from Xorvvay, 21,111.2^9 kilos from
Sweeden, and 5,G0o,3o9 kilos from (Jermany. Of chemical
pulp in 1S99, France imported 46.42433:) kilos worth
16,712,761 francs, of which 11,634,716 kilos came from
Germany, 11,364,049 fro.n Norway, 6,;no,774 from
Sweeden, 9,304,407 from Austro-Huiiirary, 3 263,590 from
Switzerland and 2,893,453 from Belgium.
" A market such as that of France which imports
annually 132,502,554 kilos ol pulp both mechanical and
chemical or about 132,000 tons, worth 1,600,000 (rancs, is
not only not lo be despised, but on the contrary is well
worth the attention of all countries, which like Canada
are continually seeking to create outlets for the products
of their toil
"The french market is therefore one, likely to become
a most important outlet for Canadian pulp wood, which,
from the statements of those well informed upon the
subject, will find, especially in the South a proBtable
field for business.
" Further, Canadian pulp wood is included in the
Franco-Canadian treaty and is permitted entry into France
www
— so-
under the minimum customs duty. However Canadian
pulp has been unable to take advantage of this cheap
entry into France owing to the absence of a direct line of
steamers between France and Canada. But this obstacle
no longer exists and every one now predicts that the
direct french importation of Canadian palp wood will ^ive
rise to extensive business transactions and reciprocal
advantages. ^
" We should here remark, thit the french customs
regulations, which require that the pulp should be per-
forated. have often been most inconvenient and a real
obstacle in the way of attempts at exportation into Franc,
by some ot the can.dian factories on various occasions
Jiuch perforation requires special machinery «'hich the
Canadian establish .nents cannot consent to adopt without
he complete assurance ot a large and continuous exporta-
tion and that they will not be liable to see their consi-n.-
ments hampered by regrettable delays.
'• No doubt the french establishments desiripc. t„
supply themselves with pulp from Canada will enterlnto
communication with the Canadian manufacturers and with
the French Customs Authorities, and that by serious action
a solution will be found and all dildculties smoothed
away.
Finally we read in the " Petit Parisien", of the 6th
September, 1900 : . c um
"Every one knows that at the present time wood pulp
s a most exclusively used in the manufacture of the paper
used by the lournalsof large circulation. Certain am.rican

four and so:netimes even thirty-two pages a day! consume
a foimidable quantity of this pulp and people have been
— 40 —
enquiring for some time past, whether all the forest of
Canada and Siberia will suffice to satisfy the ever increas-
ing voracity of the daily press, for the coming century."
" A foreign technical publication treating of the
consumption of wood pulp in the Unitod States alone
gives us the following astounding details.
Thus, can it be credited, that the principal journals of
New- York. Boston, Chica-o and Philadelphia each require
the cutting down of 120 to 125.000 trees par year, whi^h
would form a forest of ten thousand hectares." Christmas
numbers of these journiils, often consisting of eighty pa-^es
use as much as 270,000 kilos of paper, equal to l^wo*
hundred thousand feet of spruce loirs ! and there are
twenty-two thousand of such papers in the United states.
" Canada supplies the greater purt of the pulp requir-
ed for the amorican press. Fortv-ei-ht mills are working
in the Northern forests of the Dominion and the single
Province of Quebec manuflvclures an average of 500 mil-
lions of kilogrammes of paper every year."
" La Tribune ", of Amiens, -published the foliowiu"- :
" Although direct trade with Canada has more than
doubled, there exists in this country a population oflrench
origin, which has preserved the warmest sympathies for
us We should be wrong in not taking advantage of the
special situation created for us.
" Canada contains immense natural resources, lumber
is there in vast quantities ; the people consume our
productions they fallow our fashions and use our fancy
goods, let us therefore establish with them a system of
exchange which will be of the greatest advantage to our

J rovince of Qa.bec was prepared by the Geological Com-
was not so prepared under our own Mining Board which
would have enabled n. to hare had a much more com-
plete exposition, more advantageous and givino- a better
reputation to our mineral wealth.
Mr. J. Obalski, Inspector of Mines, who notified atl parties
nterested to send their products to Ottawa, had aloll^ -
print dT.r"^ "^T ''''''''''^ "'^ ^ «P-*^1 P-»Phlet
printed (Industries Mnierales de la Province de Qukec)
with an Illustrated cover, ten thousand copies of whTch
were printed for free distribution and obtained a ^rand
success. In this way the Province an,i our Mining Com
pames were enabled to make a good showing as proved
by the awards granted by the jury of the Exposition.
Incomplete though it undoutedly was. our exposition
gave a fairly good idea of our mineral resources and
attracted the attention cf miners, capitalists and minera-
logists causing numerous enquiries which cannot fail to
be fruitful in their results.
Following is a short sketch of the products exhibited :

phosphates from Ottawa, of antimony, of talc, of silicate

from Gaspe and ot gold from Beauce, to be found in the
collection.
The whole Canadian collection was clas.^ed in cate
gones; all the iron ores together, the copper ores all
together, etc., but the tickets made special mention of
eachProvmcj from which the various specimens were
taken and were of a different color for each.
The asbestos, mica and copper specimens from the Pro-
vince of Quebec were an attraction to many visitors and
were highly praised for their quality.
In reply to the questions without number, which were
put to the guardians, the pamphlet prepared by Mr
Obalski was distributed.
Without doubt this exhibition of Canadian asbestos and
mica will produce the mo.st happy results lor the country
in Europe. '
At the present moment Canadian mica is sutferin"- from
a temporary depression, caused by the duties imposed by
the United States, with the object of fostering the mica
from the southern states.

(Canada), which furnishes about 90 per cent of the con-
sumption of the entire world. About twenty years a^o
the employment of asbestos was limited, Italy beinir
almost alone in its production the price was kept up to a
very high figure. Since its qualities a.s a non conductor
ot heat. Its hbrous nature and its incombustibility have
become known, it is much ..ought after for various trado
purposes, such as. piston rod packing, packing for hi^h
pressuie engines, for covering steam pipes and boilers, for
the hltration of acids, &c. ; to such an extent that the
demand for it has greatly increa.sed and in all mechanical
trades asbestos has become an article of the first necessity

i«7qT^''" *^^"^*°^ "^^^ ^'*'* discovered in Canada, in
1878. foreign manufacturers were quick to understand its
importance and its production which at the beginning
w^ only a few hundred tons per year, was increased in
1S88. to 4,000 tons. In 1898, it was 15,802 tons with an
additional 7,122 tons of an accessary product called
asbestic, the whole representing a value, at the shipping
point near the mines of $51 1,256. "
There is a capital of two million dollars employed by
the various companies interested in the mines with a
working plant worth about hall a million and 800 men find
regular employment in the business The cost of trans-
portation is reduc. 1 to a minimum owing to the situation
ol these mines ; in fact the Quebec Central Railway runs
through the mines at Thetford and Slack Lake, while the-
mine at Danville is connected with the Grand Trunk
road by a special branch.
Asbestos is also found in the following countries, Italy.
Russia, Corsica, Hungary. Sweeden, Newfoundland!
South America and South Africa; but in most of these
countries it is unworked. in the others it is produced in
such limited quantities and under such conditions that it.
IS unable to stand the competition with the Canadian
article.
The Province should therefore give every encouracre-
ment to this business, which the Paris exposition has been
the means of so largely advertizing.

The "Patriots de I'Kst (Ardennes), expressed the
public opinion in the following sentences :
" But apart from all sentiment the galleries of the
Canadian l!.xposition are most interesting. In the first
place we see a magnificent zoological collection, which
would be the delight of a naturalist and which evokes the
admiration and wonder of the whole world The Cana-
dian Fauna are all represented. Birds, reptiles and fish
are all there together ; but what receives the admiration
of all is the collection of fur bearing animals, beaver witii
hairless tails, sables of attenuated form, lynx, seals, bears
and foxes.
" All these animals are denizens of the vast Northern
plains or of the forest which still covers half the Domi-
nion, the trees from which have furnished the material
from which are made the furniture and pianos which are
exhibited elsewhere."
Upon information derived from distinguished taxider-
mists, it became more and more evident that the water
transport of these animals, which had been so long
exposed to the tropical heat of the exposition would be
mos* injurious to them. The Honorable Mr Dechene
imu.ediately formed the idea that it would be an excellent
means of advertizing the [ richness of our country in

fishing an4 hunting, to make a distribution of the ani
mals among the principal museum, and in the most 4fted

CEREALS.
The Departmont of Agriculture of Quebec had prepared
a complete collection of tho cereals of the Province and
the. effect produced by these numberless sheaves of grain
did not fail to heighten the splendour of our exhibition.
The "Journal d-Agriculture" of Paris wrote as follows :
Here are seen in ahundanco heaps of wheat, oats, barley,
mawe bunches of heads of grain and in the middle of all
bundles of timothy, a grass which is very highly considered
by the Canadian farmer, who lind no fodder superior to it
as a horse feed, bags of beans, of peas and of sun-
flower &c., testify to the variety of plants, which are
to-day cultivated in Canada to assure an abundance of
fodder lor cattle, either in its green state or as ensilage.
The above are the products ofordinarv cultivation-
but in the experimental stations, on the model farms, new
varieties are tried, the acclimating ot cereals and other
plants which have pro/ed the best elsewhere, is attempted
and the befet native varieties are selected.
The better to show the importance of our collection, it
will suffice to give the names of those who helped in the
securing of the high awards, the list of whom will be
found in the appendix to this report.

Education and instruction.
On this ground the Province of Quebec occupied as?
brilliant a position as it did iu the other sections of the
Exposition.
It is thert fore a real pleasure to oive praise to the
directors (both gentlemen and lady) of our houses of
ediication, both primiry and supedor, to our teaching
communities both male and female who took part with
such hearty good will and patriotism iu the branch of the
Exposition relating to schools.
They responded with zeal to the call made upon
them and we are indebted to them for the magnificent
success attained by the Piovince of Quebec among its
competitors from the other Provinces of the Canadian
Confederation and from foreign countries.
And I believe that all those who took part in the
branch of the exposition relating to schools, fully deserve
that I should mention their names in the present report.
Among the female communities, thoy are Les Sceurs de
Ste. Anne, of Lachiue ; Les Scours de la Presentation de
Marie, of St. Hyacinthe ; Les S(Eurs de la Congregation
de Notre Dame, of Montreal; The Vuns of the Bon
Pasteur, of Quebec; Les Soeurs G-rises de la Groix, of
Hull; Les Ursulines, of Three Rivers; Les Ursulines of
Roberval ; Les Sa?urs de la Charite, of Quebec ; The
Convent of Notre Dame de Bonaecours, of Montebello ;

intorest in tho development of our primary education
and many of them expresses] tho great satisfaction with
which they notici'd that Canada had made such progress
in education and j)romistd more important results for
the future.
1 believe some of tho kind and flattering appreciations
" ot our school system, of our claos hooks and of the labors
of our pupils cannot fail to bo read with interest
These passages, taken from articles published in the
Educational Reviews of France, do certainly further pro-
claim the success of our exhibition.
I shall first mention M. de Caux, a well known
French Educator,, who expresses himself as follows :
"The "Freres des Ecoles ("hretiennes du Canada" have
" obtained a silver medal at tho Universal Exposition.
" This is an additional award to the prize of superior
" merit obtained by them in other sections. In their show
" case are seen magnificent samples of their commercial
" education in which they everywhere show superiority."
" The other " Congregations des Freres " are also
" splendidly represented. Honorable mentions were
•' awarded to the Clercs de Saint Viateur, to the Freres .Je
" I'Instruction Chretienne, to the Freres du .^acre Canir-
" It muot be observed that these particular awards
" should be regarded as most conspicuous distinctions.
" A Grand Prize was awarded for the collective school
" exhibit of Canada, a Grand prize to the Province of
" Quebec, and gold medals assigned to both the Catholic
"and Protestant school commissioiLs of Montreal

" Wonderful, truly is the teaching of Les .Sa-urs de
Ste. Anne, thoroughly earnest and complete. Their
pupils are taught to think for themselves and one feels
that they are obliged to do a considerable amount of
personal work. We have examined with the greatest
interest, exercises in philosophy, in literature, explana
tions.ot poetry, and of scientific works, algebra and
arithmetic, physics, chemistry and treatises on plants.
All are of the same earnest character. An excellent idea
which is there carried out pratically, is to give false
reasonings and to a&k the pupils either to justify or
refute them. And this habit of correcting others under
the enlightened direction of their learned teachers
shou d induce among these young girls a wise rectitude
" of judgment.
" In the display of Les Swurs de la Presentation de
" Mane we noticed a beautiful work on the celebrated
'• women of Canada. One of the peculiarities of the
" teaching of history in Canada and one to which we do
" not give sulhcient prominence here, is to give a great
"part of it to biographical studies. The lives ol these

Lippens, the Honorable representative of the School
Committees of Quebec, whose excellent review, " primary
instruction, of Qnehec" long since made us acquainted with
his name and works ; wo vv.^re enabled to make a deep
study of this interesting and remarkable display. The
grand pri/e and th<' many medals awarded to it, by the
international jury all tell ol its value and for all these
reasons 1 am happy to have been able at my ieasure to
learn everything which I promised myself to discover."
Mr Bauilrillard, another ('ducator, wrote in the Hevue
Pedagouique de Paris,
" The Canadian lixhibition at the Trocadero is a real
" revelation to a great many of the visitors. Its importance,
" the countless ri(hos displayed, the taste with which the

apples knowii'as the "Peach Apple" and the "Tetofsky"
and people should not think of exporting these varieties.
This first attempt which has been of no expense to
the fruit growers of the country will be of the greatest
advantage to them ; and should t.ach them th°proper
way to forward to Europt', their autumn apples, the pro-
duction of which is enormous in Ontario and (.Quebec and
for which the demand in Canada is not sufficiently great.
To succeed in preserving these apples beyond their
season of maturity, great care should be taken iu their
pickin'.-- and })ruising should be carefully avoided. Im-
mediately after being harvested they should be placed in

Nothing contributed so largely to making this Pro-

This with the show of cereals was the very best proof to
furnish to the world that the climate of the Province of
Quebec was favorable to the growth of the finest of
agricultural and horticultural products and that it 'v'as a
good place in which to settle and live.
The demands for information were so numerous as
to the fruit centers, the prices of land, on the most popular
varieties of fruit, of the addresses of producers and
exporters of apples and pears in Canada, that J thought it
advisable to publish a circular giving the names" and
addresses of the proprietors of orchards of from five to
one hundred acres, who were known to me. Two thousand
of these circulars were distributed.
A manufacturer of an apple paste wishing to

the eggs, the cheese, the butter and the potatoes of 1899.
It was a isplendid demonstration of our system of prese*--
vation of food products. 1 ho visitors were amazed at the
hoar Irost which continually formed on the br.ss tubes
surrounding the cold chamber. Near those show cases,
maple sugar and maple sirup were exhibited and were a
great suc<es8, owing to the curiosity with which they
were regarded, being products very ]ittl.> known on the
other side of the Atlantic.
Mr. McKinnon, ever at his post to give all information
in French and English concerning the lood i^roducts
which were in his ( harge, distributed maple sugar from
the Province of Quebec and handed round a book of pho-
tographs, illu.strating the Canadian sugar carapsand sugar
bush, with boilers, the manner of tapping the trees, the
transport of the sap and the old and new system of evapor-
ation. Tht se photographs prepared and distributed by
the orders of Honorable Mr. Dochene were greatly admired.
If some day we should succeed in inducing foreigners
to use nJaple sugar in th»^ preparation of chocolates, and
general confectionary, we could count upon a large
demand lor this product.
By some misunderstanding, dilHcult to explain, the
gold medal for maple sugar and sirup was awarded to
the GJov.rnment of the Dominion instead of to the Govern-
ment of Quebec. As all the samples of sugar and sirup,
with the exception of one from New Brunswick, came
from the Province of Quebec th« L'epartment of Agricul-
ture of Quebec, which forwarded the largest lot, should
at least have received a reward equal to that received by
the Dominion. In vain we sought for justice through
the Imperial Commission! It must however be admitted
that British exhibitors complained, as much as those

Canada has surmounted difficulti(»8, has resigned
herself to the pecuniary sacritiees she has b«en called
upon to bear and she has been riirht in so doing, lor we
want new outlets for the surplus of our products which
increases from year to year and let us not forget, it will
never do to stop on the road.
During the Exposition many larire sales of Canadian
fruit wore made by Mr Alex McD Allan, among others
1 00 packages of apples to a merchant of Alexandria, in
Egypt.
These apples, which arrived in Liverpool in barrels as
dispatehed from Montreal, were put into boxes ; each
apple, wrapped up in waxed paper, was placed in drawers
made of paste board divided ofi as are boxes for eggs. A
fast steamer with ventilated compartments carried these
apples to Egypt, the first consignment from C anada to
that faraway land. Let us hope it may attain the success
expected by the shipper and that new orders will follow.
The Noxon Company of IngersoU, also forwarded
from Montreal 160 barrels of apples of various kinds *o itc
agents in Palis, who with Mr. Allan succeeded in dispos-
ing of them at 40 francs the barrel. The duty to enter
France is 15 francs per 100 kilos, the highest tariff of any
country in Europe.
Apples must be very choice to siiit the markets of
Paris and other large French towns. The exporter of
common or badly selected apples, need expect nothing
but loss in France.
With the assistance of the Government the fruit
growers of Ontario were enabled to obtain a reduced rate
of transport. In a single day (^^Oth August, 1900), Mr.
— 85 —
Allan sold 4.000 boxes a88orted appl.s, Duchens. St. Lau-
rence and others. He cabled immediately to his corres-
pondent m Canada and the«e apples wore shipped with
proht to Hamburg. The Ca^^adian ConnnisHion could not
send to I ans a man more competent than Mr. Allan in
the sale of summer and autumn fruit, of which the crop
m Canada is enormous. *
In the Horticultural Court, the United States and Italy
occupied the space near the entrance, next came Italy and
Canada, afterwards Hungary and Austria. The exhibit
from Kussia which was along Mde wa.s most interesting,
especially m the products from the Northern parts of the
empire, where the climate is equally cold as that of the
Northern parts of the Province of Quebec. Although made
of wax. the Iruits were so well made that it was easy to
believe them natural and fresh gathered. Several varieties
have already been introduced into Canada, but 1 believe
it wou d be advantageous to bring over many others,
especially among the aj^ples and pears.
The gardens and orchards of Russia were admirably.
Illustrated as was also the mode of cuhivation.the watering
by means of sprinklers, the system of protection of fruit
trees against high wind... and the sudden changes of t.m-
perature and against the intense cold of winter
There were framed photographs with full description
of each view printed in letters of gold and in french.

The gathering of the fruit and the mode of paekinir
at the school ol practical horticulture ol Astracan were
shown by the government of the same name. I shall

remarks on this subject by a relerence to the orchards ol
Mr. S. de C'laK>iiiupp of Nordewsky in the government
of St Petersburg, the plans of which I examined. They
show clearly what iraportan. e the Itn.^sians attach to the
protection of fruit trees. I venture to hope that these
examples thus sot before us will induce those in Canada
intending to lay out orchards, to do the same thing.
Mr. Classinapp has planted on two sides ol his
orchard a hedge of pine and a row of birch trees and on the
other two sides one row of accacia and one row of birch
trees. He has also planted one row of hazel or lime

Under the authority of the Honorable Minister of
Agriculture I purchased fruit trees in France for the fruit
stations of the Province. -Apart irom the Russian trees
the collection of the varieties of apple trees will include
100 Remette du Canada, the true russet, justly hiahlv priced
and generally popular in Europe. The CJanada Reinette.
grown m Ontario, is not the true Reinette du Canada
exhibited by the horticulturists and nursery-men of
France and Austria.
We will also receive about 100 plum trees for rhe
fruit stations, all are handsome European varieties,
specially noticed by the jury of the Exposition for their
beauty and great fertility as well as for the hardiness of
the tree. Ihere are 38 ^-arieties of hardy pear trees and
an assortment of well known apple and plum trees to be
experimented with at the truil stations.
NoTE.-All the plants purchased by us a. well as
those kindly presented to us have arrived at the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. As it was too late to forward them
o the stations they were immediately plant, d for distribu-

TOBACCO
Russia exhibited some very good samples of tobacco
gro^n m the Crimea and on the borders of the Black
6ea. The variety called " Lubu " is very aromatic and
IS highly prized. This variety which came originally from
Turkey, does not succeed in the North where the climate
IS similar to that of the Province of Quebec. The Mak-
horka variety does best in the North and in Siberia.
The display of tobacco, made with intelligence and
good taste accompanied by photographs of the planta-
tions and descriptions of the merits ofeach variety from
each part of the country, was very instructive.
The Government encourages th.> culture, instructs the
country people on the care to be given the plantations
and on the curing of the leaf. The model of a drver
was exhibited. ^
The growing of tobacco in the Province of Quebec
has become an important business, but one which has
— 90 —
not been profitaMe lor the past two years, owing to the

In Ruesia two botanic! species of the tobacco plant
are grown. •' Nicotiana tobacum " and " Ni^otiail

und varKUies. All the varieties ot the first kind, giv^ .^

tobacco manufactured lor the u.e of the well to do classes
01 the poimlation, wi;h regard to the varieties of the other
Kind, they all give tobacco of an inferior quality, which is
either smoked m pipes or ,n the form of cigarettes made
by the smoker himself with paper of the ordinary kind.
Of these varieties the Makhorka is also employed lor the
destruction of noxious insects which are injurious to agri-
culture and to the cattle.
The cultivation of the superior kinds is carried on
pnucipally in the Province of Kouban and in the Govern-
ments of Koufair ,r.arnsoun Trapezound), ol Tauride (Aia
feoulouk Ameriran,, of Bessarabia (Angouchete. and in
certain parts of the Governments of Samara and Tcher-
nigov I Goundi for cigars).
In all other localities the tobacco grown is of inferior
quality such as Makhorka and Bakoune. Some of the
sui- .nor varieties, such as those for making cigars (Goundi)
yield only a coars. tobacco with little aroma and are only
used for making cigars of an interior Quality. The superior
qualities, aromatic turkish (Dubec and others) up to the
present have only been grown in small quantities here and
there m the Crimea and in the Transeaucasus, althou-h
experience has proved that Dubecs of superior quality and
in no way inferior to the true Uubecs may be produced
and obtained in these localities.

already laroely indebted to his shop, will seize the lir»t
opportunity to carry their milk elsewhere The lactory
must therefore be coutent to treat an interior milk, it must
then fall back upon its last resource, that of reduciu" the
cost of manufactitre. The premise.s of the creamery are
often small and dark, the lloor })eing sometimes only the
earth beaten down. The cheapest labor is employed.
The product;must then necessarily be of inferior quality
and if in spite of all this it still reaches a foreign market
it seriously prejudices the name of Russian })utter.
Every thing that we have said about the bad con-

enable us to take a correct view of the serious injurv

In the handsome Spanish Court, retrospective Spanish
art was disphiyed, a splendid collection of carpets irom
the palace at Madrid and other products of the country.
As there was nothing- exhibited in the agricultural
li '.. which would be suitable to our climate, I have nothin-
to do but to point out the false position which Canada,
ho ds towards Spain ; in 1899 Canada exported to Spain
only $.09,178 worth of produce, while in the same period
she received from Spain goods to the value of $513,018.
Still Spain in 1899 imported for local consumption,
loreign goods to the value of .^165,74&.9;52.
Canada's sales to Spain consisted of deals and deal
ends from the Province of Quebec and of nothing else.
Lumber from Russia and especially from Finland are
admitted into Spain since 1888 at reduced rutes by special
stipulations annexed to the treaty of commerce between
these two nations. Russia on her part establishing reduced
rates for Spanish wines, oils and fruits, commerce between
these two countries naturally increased.
Should Canada cross her arms and neglect this trade
with Spain ?
1 he question is a sufficiently serious one to attract the
attention of the Government of Canada, of the chambers
of commerce and of business men generally.
After these reflections I left the Spanish Court and
visited the exposition of

In lookingover ray notes Irom Paris I see that Swit.
xerlaud a small country of three millions of inhabitants
devotes itseli principally to weaving and working in me-
tals in all th.ir branches ; but that still the dairy business
has also an important position Notwithstanding a direct
consumption in 1899 of 0.900.000 litres of milk the
employment of 2,.J00.000 litres in the raising and futtemno-
of animals ; 600,000 litres of milk were used for makin'
condensed milk and 5,900.000 in the manufacture ol butter
and cheese.
Accoraing to an official statement distributed in Pari,
the annual exportation of Switzerland amounts to
Averay:,> valti.' in frau,-^
Cheese (hard; 38,019,000
Condensed milk 18,063.000
Fresh butter 7^5 000
It is astonishing to see that Switzerland exports
nearly half as much condensed milk as it does cheese.
The representative of Switzerland at Paris declared
that this business is very profitable in spite of the compe-
tition of Holland which exported to England in 1899
37,()42,304 pounds of condensed milk and
The United States which
exported 3,228,o 12 pounds
Norway 11,972,576- "

Canada does not appear as having furnished anv of this.
On the contrary in 1890 Canada imported from Great
Bntain condensed milk to the value of §h,c.8« and from
the United States in lH9^. s.^4,883 and in JSLP, §137.711

Germany is a progressive country ; its inhabitants
are economical and good traders. Imitators of the
manufactures of other nations, they strive by copying the
forms and paterns to produce them at a lower price
sacnhc.ng quality if necessary. The agents of manufac-'
turers armed with their samples, travel in every country
in tfie world and know how to make an admirable show-
ing for Iheir goods.
A report of the Minister of Customs of Switzerland
(in October last) mentions that in 1899, 2430 German
commercial agents had entered their samples in Switzer-
land and that England had only sent 340 ;- the contrary
of which existed ten years ago, when England did more
business m Switzerland than all other nations together;
Here in Canada, Germany increases her sales year
after year. In 1899 she sent us $7,382,490 worth of goods
(of which sugar and molasses represented $2,750.166) ; In
return she only bought from us to a value of $2 219569
which included a sum of 1791,015 for Indian corn from
the United States which was loaded at Montreal.
In 1899, Germany imported to a value of one billion
one hundred and thirty-eight millions, nine hundred and
seventy thousand dollars from foreign countries. In these
importations Canada took a very low place having only

Canada's exhibit is most truly typical of the country
It represents All the principal resources of the nation
apparently are exemplilied, and m such a way as to give
a very lair idea ol their relative importance. A British
Columbian cannot help feeJing proud every time he sees
what she has contributed. He is at once home again in
her fertile valleys, and with great tree., mountains and
mines.
One cannot tail to conclude that in mineralogy agri-
culture and forestry, in their many subdivisions, our
country has a magnificent futuie assured. And the
benefits that must insure to Canada from this world-wide
advertisement of her marvellous resources, it is impossible
to estimate. He would be indeed bold who should en-
deavor to fix a limit to that constantly widening circle.

Mr. Leignel is grateful for the civility extended to
him by the department, which reflects such'a strong spirit
of loyalty in this French country. Education in c'lnada,
in which particular the Province of Quebec stands pro-
minently forward, is well up to the highest standard of
the civilized nations of Europe.
Mr. Eegelsperger, Doctor of Law, and lecturer on
public law, thanks the committee for the works offered

Sir,
You were good enough to present us with som. verv
good small ch.eses from Canada (MacLaren's) for the
banquet of the syndicate of tha Colonial Press. We I'l
found It excellent and delicat. ia Jlavor. The lar<re oheeVe
was also very -(.od and was highly thought of bylill oUs.
With thanks, Mr. Commissioner pleas, acc.pt the
expression of my respectful sentiments.

I have not seen fruits in my country equal to those of
Canada many way and 1 am well acquunted with all
the world fruits
Cold storage of Canada is surely the best in the
world m my mind and no country can compete with
Canada s fruit with success, as they have quality, form and
colour and keep longer than all others. The Coramis
sioner is also well known by our import .rs and I buv of
him now with all success. ^

At THE ExposiTioN.-Now that the Exposition is
about to close its doors let us again refer to the various
stenographic exhibits, among others to that of the i racti'^al
school of commerce at Limoges, where our colleague Mr.
Canet is the professor. It is to be found on the champ de
Mars class VI in the pavilion of technical instruction ; to
that of the primary and commercial schools of Canada in
the Canadian pavilion at the Trocadero and to those of the
Russian Commercial schools at the Invalides &c
From a commercial point the Canadian exhibit offers
to strangers a most interesting view, and the ingenious
display made to attract the attention of those seeking
information is most admirable.

know, what would be the cost, free in Paris (free of duty
and transport) of maize. Also, could it be imported at
about the same cost as millet and hemp seed.
My friends and I are greatly pleased with the Canada's

rejoice to realize my country's improvement, development
and increasing prosperity.

The thoroughly practical character of the Exhibit
combined with effective and tasteful arranaement (which
is m Itself a work of business capacity) cannot fail to strike
the observer with highly favorable impressions.
In my own case, these impression are of cf urse made
peculiarly agreable, because of the many pleasant a'^socia-

prodr-ts of the country which must hold a firm place in
the regard of those who have partaken of the hospitality

ances, showing by practical examples how perishable
articles may be kept in good condition for a considerable
time without use of preservatives, ic deserving of special
mention. The products of the fisheries and hunting
grounds were represented by a line collection ojfurs and
canned fish, and a carelully-prepared collection oi stntJed
and preserved ajiimals, birds a'.id lishes ; the exhibits of
Hour, maple suaar, beer, whisky, gin, and wine show»:d
the large and varied resources of Canada in many descrip-
cions of food. The vast and varied mineral resources of
the Dominion were represented by a collection of iron,
coal, aurilerous quartz, nuggets of uold. ai<bestos, nickel.
&c. Furniture, cheap as well as artistic iuid <.ecoiiiiive,
stoves, and other appliances for h.-ating and \ entilution,
shoWc->d the provision which has been made for the
climatic conditions of Canada. General manufactures
were repre-ented by specimens of pottery and porcelain,
glass and crystal, stationery and paper, the latter Irom the
wood pulp produced from the Canadian forests ; cottons
and woUens and silks, both in the piece and in the shai)e
of clothing; chemical and pharmaceutical manufactures,
leather boots and shoes, perfumery, cutlery, brushes,
portmanteaux, huts, camp beds, and rubber goods The
valuable timbers of the forests made a large display, and
the carriages, bicycles, and canoes showed that Canada is
able to produce the appliances oflocomotion of the best
kind both for business and pleasure.

Twelve i'xperts were appointed to assist the jury in
their examination of (he exhibit ol butter, milk and cheese.
On account of the time of year, however, if was a matter
of the ^^reatest difficulty in manv cases properly to
appreciate the various exhibits of these articles Many of
the .samples submitted were alto-ether out oi condition
and the jury often had tojudge only bv the importance ol
the firms exhibitinjr

Wfcan only confirm what we stated in our prelimi-

were so few British exhibilors-fonr only. These were
fairly rej^resentative, aiul a Gold Medal was awarded to
each ol them by the class jury.

This colony .sends a collective exhibit, showing her
vaa and var^d iorest resources. The whole has been
most admirably arranged by Mr. Macoun, Ottawa.
Although Canada has been very ahabbiiy treated
regards space, she has one of the best exhibits in this
class and the jury was unanimous on the point. Yet she
had less space allowed her than other countries whose
exhibit and forest resource, are much smaller.
Few of the goods in this exhibit, with the exception
o spruce, oak, and Douglass pine, are shipped to Frlnce
Ihe high rate of freight, and above all fhe scarcity of
regular liners, is the main cause. ^
