claimed
is
better
lumber
and
will
last
longer
than
spruce,
hemlock
or
cedar
which
arc
produced
locally.
It
is
claimed
by
the
managers
of
the
local
mill
that
spruce
or
hemlock
will
last
just
as
long
as
Douglas
fir
In
this
climate
and
that
the
carload
of
lumber
would
keep
local
men
employed
in
tlic
cutting
and
would
help
the
mill
to
tide
over
a
difficult
period,
whereas
nothing
would
be
gained
by
importing
fir
from
the
South.
This
is
a
cas"e
in
which
experience
is
the
only
test.
Prince
Rupert
has
been
here
over
twenty
years
and
since
the
early
days
much
lumber
has
been
in
use.
There
ought
to
be
some
way
of
deciding
definitely
if
local
lumber
is
as
good
as
the
imported.
If
it
is,
it
should
be
used.
We
suggest
that
those
who
have
definite
knowledge
on
this
subject
come
forward
and
make
their
information
public.
We
want
to
know
definitely.
If
spruce
or
hemlock
or
cedar
will
last
for
ten
years
on
loral
sidewalks
we
contend
that
it
should
be
given
the
p
cfcrence
but
if
Douglas
Ur
is
much
better
and
will
last
much
longer,
no
more
can
be
said.
Incidentally,
we
arc
of
opinion
that
local
lumber
can
be
purchased
for
less
than
the
imported
variety.
Wc
suggest
quick
action
in
regard
to
this
-as
the
-contrart
for
the
lumber
is
to
be
let
at
once.
