McGill University has a testing plant which isas good as any on the continent, which is placed at thedisposal of the Department, and we are now testingDouglas fit both from the coast and the interior ofBritish Columbia and from Alberta, so as to try itfrom all conditions. The work has proceeded well,and results, which are now about readv for publica-tion, show this timber in a very favorahle light.
