gestion on terms submitted by other members. The final draft 

 is then made for the central collating committee." 



The subcommittee on Utilization and Protection has divided 

 the field geographically among the three members, the Rocky 

 ^lountains and Pacific Coast being one assignment, the North, 

 East and Lake States being another, and the Appalachian and 

 Southern region a third. 



Each member of the Committee is to make not only a revision 

 of the logging terms contained in Bulletin Gl, but also to prepare 

 a list covering the terms used in lumber maunfacture. Results 

 are placed on "three by five" library cards, in order that they 

 may be readily classified. One member has already defined some 

 250 terms, and hopes to greatly increase these during the next 

 month. "I have found it somewhat difficult to properly define 

 some of the terms in a brief and concise manner, but I think that 

 we will be able to work that out satisfactorily before long. It 

 has seemed both to Kirkland and myself that it was very desir- 

 able that special stress should be laid on the terms used in manu- 

 facture, since at the present time there is no glossary of such 

 terms available, and personally, I have devoted more attention 

 to this part of the work than I have to the logging terms." 



The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway has announced that con- 

 tracts have been let and other arrangements made for the in- 

 stallation of crude oil as locomotive fuel on their passenger 

 engines to be operated between Prince Rupert, B. C, and Jasper, 

 Alta., a distance of 718 miles. It is expected that this instal- 

 lation will be complete by next June. The announcement does 

 not cover the use of oil-burners on freight engines, it being under- 

 stood that these will continue to use coal, at least for the present. 



The entrance of the Grand Trunk Pacific into the list of oil- 

 burning railways will nearly double the oil-burning mileage of 

 Canada, the total of which is 726 miles at the present time, all 

 in British Columbia. This is made up of 477 miles of Canadian 

 Pacific lines, 134 miles of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo, and 115 

 miles of the Great Northern. 



A most successful and enjoyable meeting of the Society of 

 North-Eastern Foresters was held from July 18 to 20 in the
