In the market extension work which is being conducted on behalf of the lumber industry by the Hon. W. R. Ross, the export propaganda has naturally attracted most attention from the public on account of the immediate results secured. As is well known, no less than 30 million feet of lumber is being shipped on vessels, specially secured for this purpose, this quantity representing little less than the total provincial export for 1914. The gratifying feature of this business is the large proportion of low grades that have been marketed. As far as the lumber market for Douglas Fir is concerned, Mr. Ross's department (luring the past few months has acted In conjunction with the Industry in handling a very considerable volume of business. Another recent matter of interest has been the issue of the pamphlet dealing with British Columbia timbers, which is one of a scries design, ed to Inform the foreign buyer fully, concerning the qualities and uses of liriiish Columbia woods, and to .insist in establishing new trade connections 'for our liiirilicr industry (Continued on.
