The president of Celgar, T.

-officials, other than those in
the Arrow Lakes, are located at
‘the company’s head office in’
“Vancouver.

” Preliminary investigations in-
to the woods resources of the!
Arrow Lakes region indicated
that there were good posibili-|
ities for their utilization, and,
following negotiations with the,
Provincial government, Celgar
was given a reserve on certain
Crown lands in the Arrow
Lakes drainage in October,|
1952.

At the same time, the com-!
pany purchased sawmill proper-!
ties and private timber holdings,
‘Two of the sawmilling operations,
acquired were William Waldie’
and Sons at Castlegar and Big!
Bend Lumber at Nakusp.

Altogether, Celgar acquired
production uniis which repre-
sented over 60 per, cent of all
the timber harvested in the Ar-
row Lakes region.

As you+know, the forest
stands of this region, like all}
the commercial forests of the
northwest, are very largely com-
posed of coniferous species.

for possible economic uses of

The inventory showed a
total of seven major commercial
species, of which hemlock and
sptuce account for nearly half
of the mature inventory.

Of the total mature inven-
tory, 62 per cent was classi-
fied as pulp wood, and 39 per
cent as sawlog species and
quality. As the timber which
is not suited to lumber was
of such heavy preponderance,
the establishment of a pulp
mili appeared to be the key
to the proper utilization” of
these wood resources,

After careful study, the
‘kraft process was selected as
it can pulp all species of wood
found in the area, and can also
utilize defective and under-sized
logs not suitable for lumber
manufacture,

However, the use of the
cedar, white pine, Douglas tir
,or the better grades of spruce a3
pulp wood adds nothing to pulp
quality, but does add consider-
ably to the, operating costs of 4

Concurrently with the in-
:vestigation of pulping - process,
it was necessary to examine the
potential market. Due to the in-
terior location of these forests,
this market is, for all practical
purposes, limited to North Ameri-

in predicting the large growth

and we knew that other firms
were actively engaged in de-

A check on projects under.

‘mitted showed that the industry
was embarking upon an unpar-
alleled wave of expansion. This
surge of is now

pleted.

The total direct costs of all
studles, surveys and investi-
gations up to this time exceed-
ed $500,000. This preliminary
planning formed the basis of
our proposal to the provincial
government, which led to the
issuance of Tree Farm Licence
No, 23 in July, 1955,

In accepting this licence,

Celgar gave certain undertakings,

virtually complete, and it is now
possible to se2 the results i2
terms of productive capacity.

At the end of 1954, the
North American kraft pulp capa-
city was just over 13,000,000
tons per year, of which 1,440,000
{ons were Canadian.

At the end of 1959 including
essentially all the projects now
under construction, the capacity
in North America will be 17,-
850,000 tons per year, of which
2,340,000 ‘tons will be Canadian.

In these five years, the pro-
ductive capacity of the kraft
pulp industry in North Ameri-
ca will have increased over
35 per cent, and the Canadian
Segment over €0 per cent.

the Company’s plant site near
Castlegar.

‘First logger in the area,
probably closer to Blueberry

pany which applied for a timber
licence on 1,000 acres of land on
Kelly Creek, a few miles south
of Robson. Residents remember,
the remains of the old Bell Mill
.ear Blueberry.

Joe Deschamps was the
Timbr King in the early part
of ‘the century and he and his
crews cut the virgin timber
from the valley along the west
bank of the Columbia.

By 1907 the flats from Cast-
legar to Blueberry had been
pretty well cleared off by Des-
champs’ loggers.

He had one camp at the
railway’ siding of Stewartsville,
situated. within the Kinnaird
village boundaries just about
where the road to the Castlegar
dump crosses the CPR tracks.

Stewartsville was a busy
place, with several camp build-
ings, bunkhouses, stables, etc,,
and it also had seven gin-polés
for loading logs on the flat cara.

Large tracts of land were

thrown open for homesteading

all through the logged area
and most of it was brought)
up for speculation by “Mac”

Annable, whose name was giv-

en later to a town near War-!

field where he had a sawmill.

An early resident near
Stewartsville was H. H. Cleugh,
whose chief, claim to fame is
that his wife was reported to
be-a niece of General Ulysses S.
Grant ‘and she kept up the tra-
ditions , af.the. cld..south to the
best of her ability in ‘the rough
environment of the logging camp.

Mare’ Dumont, in reminisc-
ing of the early days, remem-
bers how Mrs, Cleugh could se

gown and carrying a dainty par-
asol and fan as she walked about
the dusty roads of Stewartsville,

The old buildings at the
Stewartsville camp were still
there in the summer of 1920,

when a spark from a passing
4rain ignited ‘the  tinder-dry
roof of one of the buildings. In
