REPORTS OF WINNIPEG MEETING. 



Copies of the detailed Report of the Win- 

 nipeg Convention were mailed to all our 

 members over a month ago. Those who 

 have not received their copies should notify 

 the Secretary as soon as possible as there is 

 a large demand for this Report and copies 

 are going rapidly. 



CHANGE OF ADDRESS. 



Since the Canadian Forestry Journal is 

 no^y issued monthly our mailing lists are 

 revised with like frequency. Members who 

 have changed their addresses, or who do 

 not receive the Journal regularly and prompt- 

 ly are requested to write to the Secretary. 

 Do this now before you forget it. 



THE BROILLIARD MONUMENT. 



At the 1913 Annual Meeting of the Cana- 

 dian Forestry Association the sum of $25. 

 \yas voted toward the monument to Broil- 

 liard the eminent French forest engineer. 

 The Secretary is in receipt of a letter from 

 the President and Secretary of the Committee 

 announcing the inauguration of the monu- 

 ment at Morey (Haute-Sa6ne) France on 

 Oct. 1. The function was carried out on a 

 large scale and in a manner worthy of the 

 man and the profession. 



TO PROTECT OTTAWA'S WATER 

 SUPPLY. 



In connection with the decision of the 

 City of Ottawa to take its water supply 

 from Thirty-One Mile Lake in the Gatineau 

 country lying north of Ottawa in Quebec, 

 th(; character of the watershed becomes of 

 importance. The report of Sir Alexander 

 liinnie the consulting engineer on the possibil- 

 ity of the water being contaminated in the 

 future shows that the whole drainage basin 

 Ih well wooded, not more than three per 

 cent being cleared and the total population 

 does not exceed one per square mile. With 

 th(; selection of this scheme out of several 

 proposed the necessity for the creation of a 

 park on this drainage basin becomes apparent. 

 Th(; land is not suitable for agriculture. It 

 is necessary that settlements be kept away 

 from it if Ottawa's water supply is to be 

 kept pure, so that here is the best reason for 

 the establishment of a permanent forest. 

 The matter should be taken in hand at once 

 and go on with the development of the 

 water works project.
