RETURN       _ 

To  an  Address  of  the  Honorable  the  Legislative  Assembly  of  the  9th  day 
of  November,  1852,  respecting  the  improvements  made  on  the 
Ottawa  River  and  its  Tributaries,  by  private  enterprize  in  connection 
with  the  Timber  Trade. 

A.  N.  MORIN, 

Secretary. 
Secretary's  Office, 

Quebec,  28th  May,  1853. 


Quebec,  24th  May,  1853. 

Sir, — I  have  the  honor  of  submitting  herewith  a  Return  of  Expenditure  by 
private  Individuals  on  Improvements  to  facilitate  the  descent  of  Timber,  and  in 
Saw  Mills,  on  the  Ottawa  and  its  Tributaries,  as  required  by  Resolution  of  the 
Legislative  Assembly. 

This  Return  can  only  be  considered  as  an  approximation.  There  are  several 
parties  from  whom  no  information  has  been  obtained  as  to  their  improvements,  and 
others  whose  statements  are  deficient  and  imperfect. — Some  have,  no  doubt,  over- 
estimated their  expenditure,  and  others  have  not  been  able  to  give  theirs  fully, 
from  not  having  kept  separate  account  of  it  in  their  business.  For  these  reasons 
this  Return  may  not  afford  a  very  correct  comparison  of  the  expenditure  by  the 
parties,  or  of  the  present  value  of  their  Saw  Mills,  but  the  total  may  be  considered 
as  being  rather  under  than  over  the  real  amount  of  expenditure  in  Improvements 
and  Saw  Mills  taken  together. 

The  amount  of  expenditure  exibited  for  Improvements  for  the  descent  of 
Timber  is  £151,847  7s.,  and  for  Saw  Mills  £179,876  5s.  3d.,  in  all  £331,723 
12s.  3d. 

The  expenditure  of  parties  in  making  farms  in  connection  with  lumbering 
establishments  is  not  included  in  this  Return,  as  it  would  be  difficult  to  daw  a  line 
of  distinction  between  them  and  ordinary  farms.  The  expenditure  for  lumbering 
farms,  if  ascertained,  would  probably  make  an  addition,  to  the  above  amount,  of 
£25,000. 

In  explanation  of  the  nature  and  importance  of  Improvements  for  the  descent 
of  Timber,  I  beg  to  refer  to  the  Appendices  accompanying  this  Return,  especially 
to  the  letter  of  Messrs.  J.  Egan  &  Co.,  (Appendix  H.),  in  which  the  very  beneficial 
effect  of  lumbering  establishments  in  the  encouragement  of  Agriculture  in  the 
Ottawa  Country  is  briefly  and  conclusively  exhibited. 

I  have  the  honor  to  be, 

With  great  respect,  Sir, 

Your  very  obedient  servant, 

A.  J.  RUSSELL,     ' 
The  Honorable 

The  Commissioner  of  Crown  Lands, 


16  Victoriae.

16  Victoria.  Appendix  (M.  M.  M  M.)  A.  1853. 


Aylmer,  Ottawa, 
Uth  February,  1851. 
A.  J,  Russell,  Esquire, 

Surveyor  of  Crown  Timber  Licenses, 
By  town. 

Sir, — In  compliance  with  your  circular  of  the  2nd  instant,  asking  for  state- 
ments shewing  the  improvements  made  by  us,  and  in  connection  with  others,  on 
the  Ottawa  and  its  tributaries  for  lumbering  purposes,  we  herewith  enclose  you  the 
accompanying  Documents  made  out  as  accurately  as  possible,  which  will  afford  you 
all  the  information  in  our  power. 

We  have  expended  on  the  Quio  and  Bonnechere  Rivers,  in  Saw  Mills,  to  the 
amount  of  five  thousand  and  fifty-one  pounds  five  shillings  and  three  pence  cur- 
rency.— f£5051  5s.  3d.) 

On  the  following  Tributaries  we  have  constructed  sixteen  thousand  seven  hun- 
dred and  nine  feet  (16709  feet)  of  dams,  piers,  slides,  &c.  The  average  height  of 
Dams,  about  nine  feet,  made  of  solid  square  timber  and  log  work,  on  the  most 
approved  system,  The  slides  are  all  of  square  timber  and  planked  4 J  inch  sawn 
stuff.  The  cost  of  which,  including  blasting  and  various  expenses  in  clearing  the 
streams,  amounts  to  twenty-five  thousand  seven  hundred  and  seventy-five  pounds 
two  shillings  and  six  pence  currency,  (£25775  2s.  6d.)  as  per  following  statements :

We  cannot  give  the  exact  extent  of  the  works  constructed  in  connection  with 
others  as  the  amounts  were  contributed. 

We  particularly  call  your  attention  to  the  great  outlay  of  capital  invested  by 
those  in  the  Timber  Trade  generally  on  the  tributary  streams,  to  make  them  navi- 
gable for  the  descent  of  Timber.     If  such  improvements  were  not  constructed,  there

could  only  be  a  limited  quantity  of  Timber  brought  to  market  unless  the  Govern- 
ment would  have  made  the  Tributaries  navigable, — which  private  enterprise  has  ac- 
complished, and  for  which,  the  parties  interested  in  such  expenditure,  have  no 
reduction  of  duty,  but  have  to  pay  the  same  amount  as  those  who  have  not  expended 
a  six-pence,  and  too,  in  many  instances,  parties  avail  themselves  of  the  improvements 
free  of  charge  ;  these  are  facts  which  you  are  aware  of.  It  must  be  borne  in  mind, 
that  the  slides  and  improvements  on  small  streams  are  getting  out  of  repair  annually, 
and  consequently  require  constant  outlay,  and  in  ten  or  twelve  years  have  to  be 
constructed  anew.  By  referring  to  the  Collection  List  you  will  find  that  nearly 
all  the  Revenue  is  collected  from  Timber  cut  on'  the  Tributaries  of  the  "  Ottawa." 
We  have  contributed  annually  to  the  Public  Revenue  of  the  Province,  about  six 
thousand  pounds  for  many  years  past,  to  which  may  be  added  slide  dues,  as  in 
the  present  year ;  say,  two  thousand  five  hundred  and  sixty-three  pounds  six 
shillings  and  three  pence  currency,  making  in  all  a  total  of  about  £8563  6s.  3d. 
currency. 

We  give  constant  employment  in  our  establishment  to  about  two  thousand 
men,  at  an  average  rate  of  wages  from  $14  to  $16  per  month  and  board,  who  con- 
sume about  six  thousand  barrels  of  Pork  and  ten  thousand  barrels  of  Flour.  We 
employ  about  sixteen  hundred  horses  and  oxen  during  the  winter,  which  consume 
about  60,000  bushels  oats  and  provender,  and  twelve  hundred  tons  of  hay.  The  oats 
at  average  cost  of  two  shillings  and  three  pence  delivered ;  hay,  four  pounds  per  ton ; 
we  thus  give  employment  to  hundreds  of  farmers  in  the  Valley  of  the  Ottawa. 

The  progress  and  prosperity  of  the  country  keeps  pace  only  with  the  Trade  ; 
when  it  is  depressed,  all  feel  it  alike.  Timber  may  now  be  considered  the  chief 
Export  of  the  country,  and  requires  every  encouragement  to  foster  it. 

We  would  not  have  troubled  you  with  these  statistics  connected  with  our  busi- 
ness, but  feeling  confident  of  the  utter  ignorance  which  prevails  even  in  our  country 
of  the  Timber  Trade  and  its  magnitude,  we  avail  ourselves  of  this  opportunity 
of  placing  at  your  disposal  such  information  as  we  are  possessed  of. 

There  are  other  establishments  as  largely  interested  as  we  are  who  can  give 
you  similar  information.  We  cannot  close  our  remarks  without  mentioning,  that 
the  men  employed  in  all  departments  are  of  sober  habits  and  no  liquor  allowed 
them.  The  majority  belong  to  the  Temperance  Society,  and  are  most  careful  of 
their  money. 

We  are  your  most  obedient  servants, 

(Signed,)  JOHN  EGAN  &  Co.

Atlmee,  December  SOlh,  1850. 

Sir, — I  have  received  your  letter  of  the  18th  instant,  wherein  you  ask  my 
opinion  as  to  what  the  works,  on  the  Little  Bonnechere,  commenced  by  you  and 
Alexander  M'Donell,  will  cost  when  complete,  according  to  the  plan  submitted. 

In  reply  I  beg  to  state  that  the  improvements  marked  in  the  plan  are  in  accord- 
ance with  the  levels  taken,  when  I  was  on  the  spot,  and  when  complete  will,  to  the 
best  of  my  judgment,  cost  the  sum  of  six  thousand  pounds.  I  must,  however, 
remark  that  these  improvements  on  the  plan  are  not  sufficient  to  ensure  the  descent 
of  any  large  quantity  of  timber  for  the  following  reasons:  That  the  improvements 
being  so  near  the  source  of  the  River  and  the  Lakes  that  supply  the  Stream,  and 
the  descent  and  fall  so  rapid,  that  without  reserving  the  water  in  the  Lakes  and 
River,  so  as  to  command  the  supply  for  passing  the  Timber  after  the  snow-water

has  run  off,  particularly  as  the  Madawaska  and  Petewawe  carry  off  the  greater  part 
of  the  water  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Bonnechere  at  this  point. 

I  would  remind  you  that  when  laying  out  the  works  on  the  plan,  the  following 
I  considered  absolutely  necessary,  namely — 

From  the  upper  point,  marked  on  the  plan,  following  the  course  of  the  stream 
to  its  source,  at  least  three  reserve  Dams  with  Flood  Gates  and  one  Slide  ;  and  at 
the  outlet  of  the  six  Lakes,  one  Reserve  Dam,  each  with  Flood  Gates — those  last 
will  be  on  both  sides  of  the  River,  from  the  Basin  upwards  ;  and  when  all  those 
latter  works  are  completed,  you  can  command  the  water  as  you  please,  by  shutting 
the  Flood-gates  every  night,  so  that  the  water  will  not  run  off,  and  open  them  every 
morning  when  passing  the  Timber.  This  can  be  done  without  using  the  main  sup- 
ply in  the  Lakes,  which  in  my  opinion  cannot  be  overlooked,  as  the  main  depend- 
ence to  ensure  the  descent  of  the  Timber. 

This  latter  work  will  cost  at  least  fifteen  hundred  pounds,  amounting  in  all  to 
the  sum  of  seven  thousand  five  hundred  pounds. 

I  am,  Sir, 

Respectfully  yours,
