OREGON PINE
CHANGE OF NAME DESIRED. REFUSAL BY AUSTRALIANS. (United Press Association.) (Uy Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) VANCOUVER, July 26. (Received July 28, at 5.5 p.m.) 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 to .Canada. Long ago England changed the name in 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.—Australian Press Association.
