Notable examples are Shawi- nigan Falls, La Tuque and Grand’Mére on the St. Maurice, Chicoutimi and Kenogami on the Saguenay, Windsor Mills and Bromptonville in the Eastern Townships, Kipawa on lake Timiskaming, and the Gatineau river. Manufactured in Canada.—A strong factor in this industrial development has been the legislative enactment of the Quebec Govern- ment in 1910, under which all pulpwood cut on Crown lands in the prov- ince must be manufactured within the Canadian boundary. The result has been that, whereas the proportion between the raw pulpwood exported Pulp and paper mill at Riverbend, Quebec and the manufactured in Quebec mills was as 69 per cent to 31 per cent in 1910, in 1925 the figures were reversed—28 per cent to 72 per. cent. It is the private forests, mainly in the Allegheny zone, that furnish most of the pulpwood exported to the United States. Allied Industries.—A group of important industries has grown up based on the pulp and paper-making industry. The materials made by these industries include building, sheathing and roofing papers, stationery goods, waxed and oiled papers, wall paper, fly paper, paper patterns and various other products. There were 36 such establishments in Quebec
