HON. W. A. CHARLTON. 



President of the Canadian Forestry As- 

 sociation, who presided at the Winnipeg 

 Convention, and opened the Winnipeg In- 

 dustrial Exhibition. 



HONORED IN WINNIPEG. 



At noon on Monday, the openinjjf da}' 

 of the recent Convention, the Winnipeg 

 Canadian Club entertained Mr. R. H. 

 Campbell and Mr. James White, each of 

 whom delivered a short address on the 

 resources of Manitoba. Mr. White gave 

 an outline of the geological formations 

 and th(? water i)owers, and prognosticated a 

 marv(dlous increase in the productivity of 

 the province through the development of 

 the latter. Mr. Campbell touched on the 

 forest wealth, and predicted with firm 

 conviction that if Manitoba would take 

 reasonable care with her forests, there 

 could be a revenue as great as that of 

 the agricultural products, derived from the 

 wood material. 



On Tuesday afternoon, July 8th, the 

 Uon. W. A. Charlton, performed the cere- 

 mony of opening the Winnipeg Industrial 

 Exhibition, one of the great annual fea- 

 tures of the city. Mr, Charlton delivered 

 a short address on the subject of Winni- 

 peg's growth and the general development 

 of the West.
