purpose that would be received by every part of the country. I just want to say that 

 if we are to continue we must have a distinct portion of Rod and Gun set aside and 

 : as a forestry department. I do not know whether I would favour a 

 quarterly, but it is for the Association to decide it, or refer it to a committee to act. 

 I would, therefore, suggest to Father Burke, that the rest of this report might be left 

 to a committee on resolutions. I have a committee named here, which I will move 

 later, and Father Burke is among them. They can take up the report and report 

 back again to the meeting. 



Mr. LITTLE. I think Mr. Stewart is right, and that we should have a committee 

 appointed. If you have means enough to print a quarterly, do it. I would like to see 

 the name ' Forestry ' going around. Heretofore, people have seemed to think the idea 

 of growing forests visionary. 



FATHER BURKE. Mr. Secretary, when does your contract with Rod and Gun end ? 



Mr. SOITHWORTH. Mr. President, if I am in order I would move that the present 

 arrangement with Rod and Gun be terminated, and that a special committee be ap- 

 pointed to report at a subsequent meeting of the Association at this session as to the 

 method to be adopted in the matter of a publication of the aims and objects of the 

 Association, the committee to report to-morrow morning at the morning session, or this 

 afternoon. 



Mr. STEWART. The way I understand Mr. Southworth's motion is that the present 

 arrangement with Rod and Gun be terminated. If we carry that, that ends the present 

 arrangement with Rod and Gun. 



Mr. SOUTHWORTH. Yes, that the present arrangement be broken. 



Mr. JOLY DE LOTBIXIERE This motion will practically terminate all our arrange- 

 ments with Rod and Gun. Don't you think it would be just as well to leave to the 

 "iiunittee the advisability of terminating the arrangement? 



Mr. SOUTHWORTH. Terminate them if you wish. I am anxious to get some- 

 thing done. 



FATHER BURKE. I second that motion for a committee. 



Mr. STEWART. I want to know what Mr. Southworth means by the motion. Does 

 he mean that this committee would not be allowed to deal with Rod and Gun at all ? 



-Mr. SOUTHWORTH. It means that the present arrangement is unsatisfactory and 

 ought to be terminated. If we like to renew it that is another matter. 



Mr. JOLY DE LOTBIXIERE. I withdraw my opposition. I understand Mr. South- 

 worth's position. 



I h.- CHAIRMAN-. Is it the pleasure of the Association that this motion of Mr. 

 Southworth's be carried '. 



Motion agreed to.
