Products to be on Exhibit at Toronto An interesting exhibit of B. C. timbers and their manufactured products will probably be on view in the near future in the Board of Trade rooms, Toronto. The Forest Branch of the Department of Lands has requested the Canadian Manufacturers' Association to find space for an exhibit of this nature and the best available place is the Board of Trade quarters. The exhibit consists of four sections so de- signed as to occupy very little floor space and will include samples of B. C. finished, doors, mouldings, etc., together with an interesting series of logging, manufacturing and shipping scents. Accompanying one of the panels of the exhibit is a set of four printed descriptions of the chief timbers of B. C, namely, Douglas fir, spruce, red cedar and hemlock, so arranged as to bring very clearly and forcibly to the at- tention of the observer the utility and value of these woods. The descriptions of the four chief British Columbia timbers which are part of one of the panels forming the exhibit contain much infor- mation, part of which is as follows:— British Columbia Douglas Fir British Columbia Douglas fir (also known as Oregon pine, yel- low fir and red fir) is Canada's timber giant. It grows up to 250 ft. high and 10 ft. in diameter. Many billion feet are now standing. It lias great strength, as is shown by results of a large number of tests. The results of these tests are given, and they show Douglas fir to hold the premier place in competition with such timbers as long-leaf pine, short-leaf pine, western larch, loblolly pine, tamarac, western hem- lack, redwood and Norway pine. Douglas fir is used for structural timber, piling, railroad ties and cars, bridge and trestle timbers and general house-building. "The fact that B. C. Dou
