DISSATISFACTION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Received Julv 27, 4.30 p.m. VANCOUVER, July 26. Considerable dissatisfaction is being expressed by British Columbia lumbermen over the fact that it is reported that the Australians refuse to change the name of Oregon pine to Douglas fir. It is claimed that the use of the word Oregon tends to point to the United States instead of Canada. Long ago England changed the name in the 5 specifications. Douglas fir of the highest quality is a product of British Columbia. . * The matter will he discussed when the delegation of lumbermen reaches Australia.
