OREGON PINE.
LATER DEVELOPMENTS. Yesterday The Dominion published interesting statements . from a local authority concerning Oregon pine from Vancouver its cheapness, its equality with kauri for buildins? purposes, the prospects of tho trade developing, etc. . . Additional interest is given to tho subject by tho arrival of half a million feot ;of 'Oregon pino from Vancouver on board tho Indravclli yesterday, together with a,, sample lot of cedar for Auckland.
Alarmed Southern sawinillors are comparing notes on the .situation. Yesterday a party of Christchurch timber • merchants travelled to Groytown and had a> privato conforonco on the question with West Coast sawmillcrs. It is felt that tho appearance of Oregon pine on tho horizon threatens the welfare of the local timber industry. What action the Now Zealand millers will tako to meet the danger has yet to be learned.
