foot of Lakes Timiskaming and Kip- 

 pewa with the object of regulating 

 and keeping uniform the flow of 

 water in the Ottawa river. 



Mr. R. W. Brock, Director of the 

 Geological Survey of Canada, then 

 gave an address on 'Forestry and 

 Mining,' A comparatively small 

 amount of timber, he said, was used 

 in Canada for mining; the metal 

 mines, with an output of three mil- 

 lion tons, use one and a half mil- 

 lion feet, and the coal mines, with 

 an output of eleven million tons, re- 

 quire about twelve and a half mil- 

 lion feet. The estimated reserve of 

 coal — 172 billion tons — would re- 

 quire, perhaps, 172 billion feet of 

 timber. Wood was also required in 

 mining for fuel and the forests 

 would also aid in the supply of 

 waterpower which the mines needed. 



Mr. Von Aueberg's paper, pre- 

 sented by Dr. Tory, was taken as 

 read. It gave a short description of 

 the forests of Alberta, and out- 

 lined a plan of administration and 

 exploitation. Absolutely essential 

 points, the writer considered, were 

 the organization of a sufficient force 

 of trained men, permanently em- 



ployed, and the selling of forest pro- 

 ducts at a profit. 



After some interesting remarks 

 by Mr. G. Willrich, U. S. Consul at 

 Quebec, on the pulpwood supply of 

 the province, the report of the Com- 

 mittee on Resolutions was presented 

 by the chairman, Hon. W. C. H. 

 Grimmer, and, after some discussion, 

 adopted. It will be found elsewhere 

 in this issue. 



The chairman then declared the 

 meeting adjourned. 



Friday Afternoon. 



On Friday afternoon the local 

 committee tendered the visitors a 

 reception at the Kent House, Mont- 

 morency Falls. Leaving the city at 

 2.30, a merry crowd proceeded by 

 the Quebec Railway Light and 

 Power Co.'s cars to the Falls. 



On arrival at the Kent House the 

 guests were graciously welcomed by 

 Madame E. G. Joly de Lotbiniere, 

 assisted by Mesdames McLimont and 

 Panet and other ladies. Varied 

 amusements Avere provided for the 

 guests, including dancing in the 

 ballroom and coasting on the slides 

 outside. Dainty refreshments \yere
