first year, we now hare over sixty in the 

 third year, and the amount of our work 

 has doubled and trebled until I am more 

 than pleased with the progress we are 

 making-, and it is only a question of a short 

 time until, under the present rate of prog- 

 ress, the inspection of a large percentage 

 of the hardwoods of the United States will 

 come under the jurisdiction of this bureau." 

 At the close of Mr. WalVs address, the 



resolution referred to above was adopted 

 unanimously. 



The meeting then adjourned to meet at 

 2 o'clock, at which time the committee on 

 price list was to report. 



During the noon hour the committee rep- 

 resenting the Hardwood Manufacturers' 

 Association of tne United States met with
