CANADIAN LUMBER INDUSTRY BUSY
I Special To “ Northern Advocate ”3 WELLINGTON, This Day.
Timber interests in New Zealand arc being locked into by Mr. J. H. McDonald and Mr. J. G. McConville, of Vancouver, who arrived from Australia by the Awatea yesterday. They will endeavour to build up goodwill between New Zealand and British Columbia. Mr. McDonald said that the lumber industry, which had suffered along with other branches of the building trade, had been most active last year.
Britain a Heavy Buyer. Demands from all countries served had risen. The Chinese and Japanese markets had almost dried up on account of the warfare. The United Kingdom was a heavy buyer. Larger quantities of timber were being taken by the United States, and some was being sent to New Zealand, from which were imported, Hides, wools, and other commodities.
It was an extraordinary thing in some British Columbians minds, said Mr. McDonald, that Empire good? should be packed in foreign cases. Timber exporters naturally expected consistency from a Dominion such as New Zealand.
