PULP AND PAPER
GROWTH OF THE PAST
TEN YEARS.
Province Possesses the Largest
ReUlin.ing Stands of Pulp-
wood in the World.
Thebirth and development of the
pulp and paper industry iii British
Columbia has boon phenomenal. A de-
cade ago not a single ton of pulpwood,
mechanical or chemical, was manu-
factured in the Pacific Coast province;
In 1919 the total value of the products
of tbis industry amo mtefl to $12,554,-
267.
12,554;267. 7'o -day British Columbia stands
third among the provinces of the Do-
minion in the amount of capital in-
vested in tlao industry. The surpris-
ing rate at which illi, has grown in
the .last; few years and i8 continuing to
grow, is indicated in tlr : jump effected
between 1917 and 1920 of from $22,-
584,652 and $60,000,000 in 1920:
This is a remarkable hist my of de-
velopment of what will doubtless be-
come one of the most important indus-
tries of the Pacific Coast, but ,t is
more than probable that the next ole-•
cade will exhibit still more rapid ex-
pansion. Great Britain and the United
States are drawing the greater part 'of
their paper supplies from Canada, and
eyes are turned en British Columbia,
possessing as it does the largest re-
training stands of timber in the world
suitable for the production of pulp
and paper. The province's annual ex-
port
xport to Australia already amounts to
more than 20,000 tons, whilst the de-
mand for Pulp from the far east far
exceeds available supply, ..
Nearly Three Hundred Million Cords.
Of the 370,370,000 cords of pulpwood
estimated to exist in Western Canada,
British Columbia is credited with 285,-
370,000 cards, consisting of spruce,
Western hemlock, and balsam, whilst
for the coarser grades of pulp a cer-
tain 'amount of Douglas lir is used. It
'should also be observed here that Bri-
tish Coluinbia is highest among the
provinces of the Dominion in the aver-
age production of pulp per cord of
wood, the mechanical process giving
an average of 2,485 pounds.
To -day there are only seven plants
in British Columbia producing pulp—
groundwood and chemical—and news-
print, . No other industry offers such
boundleass opportunities of develop-
ment. Li addition to the enormous
areas of suitable timber are the tre-
niendous unharnessed 'water powers
awaiting utilization, which are esti-
mated at 3,000,000 horse power. . The
temperate climate of the Pacific Coast
gives assurance of open harbors the
year round, whilst- apart from the de-
mand ha the.United States, there is an
unlimited market for the product of
the mills' immediately across the
ocean.
No Export Embargo on Raw Product.
This may he instanced from the fact
that the entire pulp product of one of
the ,largest mills on the coast goes to
Japan for manufacture there into
newsprint. Up to the present time
the Provincial Government has placed
ilo embargo on the export of the raw
product.
British Columbia is producing suf-
ficient newsprint to supply the whole
of Canada, takng the most recent es-
timates of the annual consumption of
120,000 tons. Figures of the province's
output of pulp and paper of all kinds
for 1919 were as follows:—sulphite,
80,047 tons; sulphate, 9,473 tons;
ground wood, 99,769 tons; paper:
newsprint, 123,607 tons; wrapping;
7,202 tons, In newsprint production
British Columbia already stands third
among the Canadian provinces.
From the sttandpoint of timber re-
sources, waterpowers, climate, ship-
ping, a bright future awaits British
Columbia in the pulp and paper indus-
• try, and the coming decade will see it
placed high among the paper proctnc-
• fug sections of the American Conti-

a parents' association or any other
group of citizens --will guarantee for
one year adequate leacIerehip and
facilities; second, that it will endeav-
or to provide an opportunity forthe

New Kignd. of Lifebuoy.
The newest life-saving apparatus is.
a Danish invention. It is a large life-
buoy, designed to contain a number of
persons, the buoy -shaped body being
provided with a collapsible framework
of ribs covered by a water -tight fabric.
The inner edge of the buoy forms a
circular bench for people to sit on,
and in the middle of the bottom is
fixed a box with receptacles for water
and provisions. The box serves inci-
dentally as a table and lamp support.
In such a buoy a • dozen persons
might spend many days in safety and
relative cc.Infort. When out of use the
water -tight cover, which is supported
by hinged steel rods, is collapsed. and
closed. Thus the apparatus, stowed
on a ship, takes up very little room.
WINTER ItAR,D ON BAI}A
The winter season is a hard one on
the baby. He is more or less confined
to stuffy, badly ventilated rooms. It
is so often stormy that the mother
does not get him out in the fresh air
as often as she should. He catches
' colds which rack his little system;
his stomach and bowels get out of or-
der and he becomes peevish and cross.
To guard against this the mother
should keep a box of 13aby's Own Tab-
lets in the house. They regulate the
stomach and bowels and break up
colds. They are sold by medicine
dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.

Surnames and Their Origin
FRASER
Variations -Frazer, Frasier, Frazier.
Racial Origin—Norman-French. ,
Source—A locality.
This is another- of the few Highland
clan names which, though borne by
Celtic families, trace back to an origin
in Normandy.
All of these clan names were formed
in the same way, ,by knights and
nobles from the army of William the
Conqueror, or the sans of such fol-
lowers, who, either to strengthen the
foreign relations of the conqueror, or
because -they were not satisfied with
the spoils of war which fell to their
lot in conquered England, sought their
fortunes in the north at the court of
the Scottish king.
They were, as might be expected,
men with reputations as mighty fight-
ers, and as they were independent of
blood relationship with the factions
around the throne, they were, of
course, welcome additions always to
the royal Scottish organization.
But the Frasers, like the others,
quickly formed alliances by marriage,
and adapting themselves to the cus-
toms of the Gaels Upon receiving
grants of hand in the Higlilancis, rapid-
ly assumed leadership of existing
clans and gathered around then clan
organizations which they strove to
make more powerful.
The Frasers are found first settled
in Tweedale during the reign of Mal-
colin III. They got their foothold in
the Highlands through marriages into
families of the Orkneys and Caithness
chieftains.
The original Norman form of the
name was "de Frisell" or "Frasell,"
and simply denoted overlordship of a
place of that name in Normandy, be-
ing a family name only in the sense
that it was hereditary because the feu-
dal power was hereditary and des-
criptive.
COC hi RAN
Variations—Corcoran, Coghrane.
Racial Origin—Irish.
Source a -A given name.
The family name of Cwhrau holds
a high place in the annals of ancient
Ireland, prior to the Anglo-Norman in-
vasion, in which it appears a 'aO'Cor-
crain." -
The name traces back through the
O'Carrol, or the "O'Oearbail" clan to
Owen More ("Eoghan Mor" being
closer to the old Irish spelling) or
"Corcra," meaning "red;" . hence the
family name of "O'Corcrain," meaning
"the descendant of the Red One."
In the year 1040 there was an
O'Corcrain who was abbot of Iniscal-
tra, renowned as the most celebrated
ecclesiastic of western Europe, both
for his religion and his learning..
But being among the most bitter
and relentless autagonists the Anglo-
Norman invaders of the Middle Ages
had to meet, the clan of .O'Corcrain
suffered bitterly at their hands; and
es the Norman sway extended the
clan sank into a politicalinsignia-
cance that it was never able to over-
come.
Cochran, Corcoran and Gobhrane,
with or Without the prefixes "0" or
"Mac," are merely anglicized versions
of this family name, once powerful in
the ancient Irish kingdom.

HOW TO BE HEALTHY
DURING THE WINTER
Many Troubles May be Avoided
if the Blood is Kept
Pure.
DQ not let your blood get thin this
Winter, Per people 'who have a ten-
•dency towards anaemia, or bloodless-
ness, winter is e trying reason. Lack
of exercise, lack of fresh air, and a
more restricted diet are among the
things that combine to lower the tone
of the body and weaken the blood.
As soon as you netice the tired
feeling, lack of appetite and shortness
of breath that are warning symptoms
of thin blood, take a short course of
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Do not wait until the color has
entirety deft your cheeks, until your
lips are white and your eyes are dull.
It is so much easier to correct thin-
ning of the blood in the earlier stages
than later. This is well illustrated in
the case of Mr. 13 M. Day, Newcastle
Bridge, N.B., wlio says: "From my
own experience with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills I can most heartily recom-
mend them. Some time ago I was
badly run down and my blood seemed
thin and watery, accompanied by the
usual symptoms of this condition. A
friend- recommeneded Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and after taking several
boxes I felt like a new man."
You can procure Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills through any, dealer in medicine
or they will be sent you by mail at
50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50
by writing direct to The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
The Skipper's Only Fib.
The deep-sea fisherman often has a
sharp tongue and is not likely to get
the worse of a verbal duel. But
George, the skipper of a Ya.l►nouth
trawler, who figures in North Sea
Fishers and Fighters, by Mr. Walter
Wood, certainly met with his match.
Owe whether he knew it or not.
"There's land people who come and
bother you with foolish questions," he
complained in recounting the hard-
ships of a skipper's life. "I try to put
'em off, but can't allus do it. There
was an old lady who worried me past
endurance with her questions, askin'
if the herrin's were caught in barrels,
as she'd sometimes seen 'em that way
in shops. I told her no, and then she
aggravated me to that extent that I
told the only fib I ever spoke in my
life.
" 'How do you kill 'em when you've
caught 'em?' she asked.
" 'We bite off their heads,' I answer-
ed.
"She Iooked at the catch of herrin's
we had. 'My! . laly!' she murmured,
welkin' away. 'How tired your poor
jaws must be!' "

Peanuts in Baby's Bath.
'When a new baby arrives in China
it is the custom of the mother's par-
ents to supply it with several outfits

grandparents are wealthy it is not un-

will be as numerous as the eggs. tire,
quently the .number of eggs given

A Quick Relief
for Headache
A bradache is frequently caused
by badly digested food; the gases
and acids resulting therefrom are
absorbed by the blood which in
turn irritates the nerves and
causes painful symptoms called
headache, neuralgia, rheuma-

Mather Seigel's Syrup will correct
faulty digestion and afford relief.
