CANADIAN LUMBER MEN SEIZE 'TRADE Carloads of British Columbia Shingles Are Sent .;. Into Montana. WAR'S END ANTICIPATED Uepartment of Commerce Urged to Aid Oregon and Washington In terests by Sending Representa tives Into Europe at Once. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash-I Ingrton, Nov. 12. The government of BritiBh Columbia, proceeding on the assumption that there will be a big boom in the lumber trade following the cessation of war in Europe, if not be-1 lore that time, continues to put forth I every effort to aid the lumbermen of that province in capturing- and controll ing foreign markets. j When the United States put lumber! on the free list. British Columbia lum bermen were aided by their local gov ernment in capturing a large part of the American market. Then came the war, which had a depressing effect "Pen the lumber, as well as other lines of business, but anticipating that the war must end, and with its termination will come a heavy demand for lumber, the British Columbia government has renewed its activity, and is laying plans to wrest from the Oregon and Wash ington lumbermen a large share of their former foreign market. It was months ago that agents of the British Columbia government were sent into the Eastern states in the hope of building u) a market for British Co lumbia lumber, shipped by way of the Panama Canal. Canadians Go Abroad Also. Only more recently, according to ad vices received by the Department of Commerce, agents of British Columbia have toured Australia and New Zealand with a view to building up a lumber market for the Canadian lumbermen. And now these agents are in England laying plans to supply that country, and probably a part ol Continental Eu rope, with lumber as soon as the de mand opens. The British Columbia gov ernment appears, in this respect, to be ahead of our own Government, for while tin agent of the Department of Commerce but recently returned from the Orient and Australia, and is now Jn conference with Wee Coast lumber ex porters, the representatives of British Columbia appear to have covered that same route in advance of the American representative, and to have now de parted for Europe. If the United .states Government is to extend the same aid to Pacific Coast lumbermen that is being given British Columbia lumbermen by their local government, it will be necessary, without further delay, to get represent atives of the Department of Commerce into Europe to study the demand for lumber and to aid in building up a Kuropean market for Pacific Coast lumber. In reporting to the Department of Commerce on how British Columbia is advertising its timber.. Vice-Consul . C. Woodward, at Vancouver, says: ' CampalKn Is Extensive. "The British Columbia government is carrying on an extensive campaign to increase the export and Canadian sales of the timber products of the Province. Air. H. R. McMillan, formerly head of the Forestry Department of thi3 prov ince, now, a representative of the De partment of Trade and Commerce of Canada, recently completed a tour of Australia and New Zealand for this purpose. He is now on a similar trip to Great Britain." During the first seven months of this year 380.690.517 feet of logs were scaled in British Columbia, as coin pared with 310.734.77:: feet during the corresponding, months of 1914. As in dicating prices with which Oregon and Washington lumbermen must compete. Consul Woodward reports that sales of fir logs are reported in British Co lumbia as low as $4. and that current quotations run from J4.50 to $6 and $8. Cedar is placed at J6, S.50 and J12.60. That British Columbia lumber busi ness is fast picking up is shown by his statement that during July the pro vincial timber sales amounted to less than r.,f00,000 feet, as compared to 10. 100,!so7 feet of logs, VS.OOO linear feet of piles and poles and 1234 cords of pulp wood sold in August. Ready Market Found. That British Columbia is finding a ready market for its lumber in the United States is attested by the fol lowing paragraph in Consul Wood ward's report: The plant m 'lie Shiili Lumber & Shingle Co.- (Ltd.), on the north ami ot the Fraser Hiver. u. few miles below New Westniin tr, British Columbia, lias Just been com pleted, at an approximate ost ot $150.01). It recently made Its initial shipment three ears of phliiRles to Montana, The mill i one of the. largeRt and most modern on the coast, and tlio machinery installed is of the latest d-siii. it Is uwncd and operated by Amerteans. Timber products exported from British Co lumbia to the United States, Invoiced throuch tho Consulate General at Vancouvei. for the three quarters ended September 30. 11M4 and l'olo, were valued at $4,0-l,0wo and S5.ti,4.-il. respectively.- Another interesting statement in the report is the following: The American sailing schooner Hugh lluKan. owned in Vortland. Or., has been -hart'red reeentlv by local agents to carry tioo.ooo feet of lirltish Columbia lumber to fhangnai. China. It is stated that in former ears a large percentage of the China lum ber tr.tde was handu-d by l'actflc Coast mills, but in later years the trade has been secured bv Australian firm, owing to their close proximity to that market and their abundant supply of hardwoods. This is the firsi Amertran sailing vessel chartered in this trade for a number of years. The recnt clearing of the Norwegian steamer Admlralen from tireat Point Rapids, Uritish Columbia, for New York. via the Panama Canal, with a 4,OOO.OlM consign ment ot 'British Columbia shingles, was of peculiar interest to the trade, on account 'f the charter being direct between ths British Columbia manufacturer and the pur chaser, heretofore practically unknown In the British Columbia shingle trade as ap plying to American markets.
