Considerable disappointment was experienced when it was 
ascertained that this Bill had been so altered in Committee as

acknowledged.

was held in Washington in January 1905, and a copy of the 
Proceedings was purchased recently and added to the Society’s 
library. 
Canadian Forestry Convention. 
A convention organised by the Canadian Forestry Association 
was held in Ottawa in the course of last month. It was attended 
by representatives from all the Canadian provinces, and was 
presided over by the Prime Minister, and the proceedings were 
opened by the Governor-General. If the Proceedings are 
published, the Council propose to purchase a copy for the 
Society’s library.

advantage ought to be taken of the Register by proprietors and 
others requiring estate men, and the Council again appeal to 
them to make use of it.
