G. Lewis. B. C. Douglas Fir It is only within comparativelyrecent years that the commercialwoods of the Pacific Coast havebegun to invade the eastern mar-kets. During that time Douglasfir has won for itself a placeamong the most important woodsof Canada. During 1912 a totalof 889,861,000 board feet of thismaterial was sawn Into lumber inCanada, forming over a fifth ofall the lumber produced in thatyear and holding third place onthe list.
