Speaking of the subject to the Canada Lumberman, he said the change would be wel- comed by all lumbermen in Canada.

The markets of San Francisco and other large con- suming cities of the Southwest take large quantities of fir. which they have been securing from the mills of Washington State. In British Columbia the same timber is grown, and so far as freight rates to the markets of California are concerned, the Canadian manufacturers will have a distinct advantage. They will be able to ship to those markets in foreign bottoms, whereas the United States manufacturers, by the law of the country, are restricted to the use of American bottoms. By using foreign bottoms, Canadians can obtain a freight rate of about a dollar a thousand less than the Americans. Just at present, said Mr. McRae, there will be no great amount of lumber shipped to the United States from
