 quet on Wednesday evening and 

 other matters to be arranged in com- 

 mon. 



A committee of thr.ee, consisting 

 of the President and Messrs. R. II. 

 Campbell and Gordon C. Edwards, 

 was appointed to arrange the pro- 

 gramme of the annual meeting. 



The following resolution of regret 

 at the death of the late E. G. Joly 

 de •Lotbiniere and appreciation of 

 his work for the association was 

 passed : — 



Moved by Mr. Herbert M. Price, 

 seconded by Mr. R. H. Campbell, 

 and resolved : 



'That the Directors of the Cana- 

 dian Forestry Association desire to 

 place on record their sense of the 



great loss sustained, not only by this 

 Association but also by the friends 

 of forest conservation in Canada, by 

 the death, at the comparatively ear- 

 ly age of fifty-one years, of Mr. Ed- 

 mond G. Joly de Lotbiniere. Like 

 liis father the late Sir Henri de Lot- 

 biniere. one of the founders and 

 first president of this Association, 

 he always took the deepest personal 

 interest in, its work. For a number 

 of years he was a Director and filled 

 the office of President in 1906 on the 

 occasion of the first National Con- 

 vention in Ottawa. His eflPorls as- 

 sisted in making that great meeting 

 the success it was. 



As a member of the Local Com- 

 mittee he worked hard and with 

 great efficiency in arranging all the 

 local details for the Quebec Con- 

 vention of 1911, particularly in re- 

 gard to the outing at Montmorency 

 Falls. At all other times he gave 

 unsparingly of time and tboaght 

 for the advancement of the Associa- 

 tion and the cause it represents, and 

 on his seigniory of Lotbiniere. 

 through a number of experiments, 

 endeavoured to ascertain the most 

 practical methods of protecting and 

 developing the forests of Quebec. 

 Besides this, the Directors desire to 

 record their sense of the loss to his 

 jirovince and country of a citizen 

 whose loyalty, integrity and consid 

 eration for the rights and feelings 

 of others were always beyond ques- 

 tion and who "ever bore without re- 

 proach the grand old name of 

 Christian Gentleman". 



To his family and relatives the 

 Directors of the Canadian Forestry 

 Association offer their heartfelt ap- 

 preciation and sympathy.'
