“OREGON PINE”
OBJECTION TO NAME (United Press Association—By EUatrlc Talestraph—Copyright) (Australian Press Association.—United Service) VANCOUVER, 26th July. Considerable dissatisfaction is being expressed by British Columbia lumbermen over the fact that Australians are reported to have refused 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 Stales instead of to Canada. Long ago England changed the name in specifications. Douglas fir is of the highest quality, and is a product of British Columbia. The matter will be discussed when a delegation of lumbermen reaches Australia shortly.
