DISTRIBUTION ‘CENT! ghout British Columbia in the cri- |’ - Sulphite ‘Pulp , In the late 1880's interest was aroused in the possibilities of sul- phite pulp, The inventor of the first Practical sulphite-process was Carl Daniel Ekman, a native of Sweden, who. was in charge of productive operations at a mill at Bergvik in 1874, He went to England in'1879 where a sulphite pulp mill: was built in 1883. The Ekman process was tried out- successfully in the United States and similar’ processes were "| also developed, A mill at Sheet Har- bour, N.S. produced the first.sul- phite pulp in Canada in 1885. But another process, known as the Rit- ter-Kellner, was destined to become most widely used on this continent, Kellner was an: Austrian’ che- mist who*had. been financed’ by. Baron von RitterZahony.' Canadian *| patents for the process. were grant- ed in 1885..In the spring of 1886, Charles Riordon and Captain Ellis, who were interested with John R. Barber: in’ the. Canadian Sulphite | Pulp Company, ‘went: overseas to study the European methods. Following their return, the er- ection’ of a 'sulphite mill began at Cornwall, Ontario,. in’ March *1887 and the. Plant went into operation May 5, 1888, marking. the introduc- tion’ of ¢ ‘another.’ important ‘era -in.| ihe history. of the industry ta Can- ada... 7) About this time, “8.
