The Minister of Lands is ar-
ranging for the exhibition of fin-
ished forest products of British
Columbia at all the Trades Com-
missioners’ offices throughout the

trade the rough article. Finish-
ed products tell their own tale

a leading expert, who will con-
sult with the millowners upon
the best means of utilizing their
wast products. At present the
wastage-in lumber is enormous,
