The Relation of Timber

The ultimate prosperity of Brit-
ish Columbia is to a very great
degree dependent on the good-
will of its citizens towards the
industrial forces that are develop-
ing its: ‘natural resources,

It is a common fault ‘of all
countries richly endowed with
natural wealth to minitnize the
hardships and overrate the re-

in the conversion of raw ‘material
into the finished product. -

The sympathy of the public
with the industrial groups that
are building up national wealth
is only effective when it is the
outcome of an intelligent know-
ledge of the scope: of those indus-
triesand a study of their economic
issues.

-In the case of the Brltish Col-
umbia lumber industry it is diffii-.
cult to account for any Jack of
interest in its problems by the
citizens of the province for the
reason that in no country in the
world, perhaps, has.a basic indus-
try so entwined: itself with the
destiny of the community. : = "-

NOTARY PUBLIC

We suspect that the lumber
industry of British Columbia is
so omnipresent that: it is very.
much taken for granted, even by
those who are dependent upon it
for a livelihood:
It is a commonplace to us that
‘we are the owners of one of the
very finest stands of softwood
timbers in existence: We dimly
‘ecornize that our forest indus-
tries haye been the main factor
in transforming our settlements
into cities .and- our. waterfronts
into wharves. We have an idea
‘that but for shipments: of wood
products by-land and -sea our
