CM CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION, 



yo 



Senator BOSTOCK. There is just one thing that I would like to say before we 

 adjourn, and that is would this association take into consideration the advisability 

 of meeting in British Columbia next year? I think it would be a very great assist- 

 ance to the forest interests of that section of the country, and if the association could 

 see its way to coming out there I am sure that not only the people but the lumbering 

 interests as well will tender them a very hearty welcome to the province. 



We have big reserves out there, and some big trees, and it may be interesting for 

 ome of the members to see things as big, and bigger, than they have in this part of 

 the world. I might also say that we have some big fish there. 



Without detaining you longer, I would be very glad if the association could ar- 

 range to meet in British Columbia next year. 



Mr. STEWART. Until we know definitely what shape this Ottawa meeting is going 

 to assume I think that perhaps it would be as well for us to leave the matter of the 

 selection of a place for the next annual meeting open. Leave it in the hands of the 

 executive. At the present time it is almost impossible to say where we should 'hold 

 it. If we are to meet in Ottawa it might change our ideas and plans. I think under 

 the circumstances that we had better leave the matter in the hands of the executive. 

 I think we can trust them to do what is right. 



The CHAIRMAN. I would suggest that it would be a good idea that the question 

 of the place of the next annual meeting of the association be left in the hands of the 

 board of directors, and if they find that the proposed conference at Ottawa does not 

 interfere with the annual meeting, that they endeavour to arrange it so that British 

 Columbia be considered when they are making the selection of the place. 



Senator BOSTOCK. I would be very pleased to leave it in that way. 

 The meeting then adjourned till ten o'clock in the evening.
