Canada Lumberman And Wood Worker 1911

Excerpt from Canadian Woodworker, 1911, Vol. 9 Toronto. - With a view to supplying the settlers in an extensive area of Northern Ontario with a convenient market for their pulpwood, the Provincial Government has decided to offer for sale two important pulpwood concessions, one in the Abitibi, and the other in the Rainy River District. Orders in Council were passed by the Government authorizing the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines to ask for tenders. A bonus in addition to the regular dues will be asked for the tenders. The right to cut pulpwood over the area of square miles contained in the Abitibi and Rainy River concessions carries with it an obligation to erect pulp and paper mills capable of handling the output of spruce, not only from the concessions, but from the surrounding country as well.

At the time of his death in 1907, John Waldie, founder of the Victoria Harbour Lumber Company, was identified as "the second largest lumber operator in Canada." A young Scottish immigrant who came to Wellington Square (now Burlington, Ontario) in 1842, he rose to prominence as a wealthy merchant and ship owner. In 1885 he entered the lumber business. Active in local and federal politics, and a friend of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, he invested capital in mills, people and forests. Local history and genealogical connections are part of the Waldie story, headquartered at Victoria Harbour in Simcoe County. Documentation of the forest that the company logged, their nature, amount and sizes of logs harvested with the descriptions of the forests as they are now, throws new light and shatters some of the current myths. This little-known story provides insights into days of rampant entrepreneurialism, the world of the lumber barons and the overall impact on our Ontario forests.
