belter methods must be thought out and 

 adopted and especially that the class of 

 labor used in the woods should be better 

 trained, housed and fed. The discussion 

 on this paper was very interesting, some of 

 the older lumbermen holding that condi- 

 tions were too, good already for the men 

 and that machinery could never be intro- 

 duced in this country, east of the Rockies, 

 to advantage. The point was brought up 

 that fire-fighting methods which must be 

 used at even greater distances from rail- 

 roads than in logging had been practically 

 revolutionized by better organization, by 

 training rangers and by introducing machin- 

 ery. A paper on gasoline tractors for log 

 hauling was read by Gerald Power, who 

 stated that he was using two 70 horse- 

 power engines of this type and had found 

 them very satisfactory on a haul of seven 

 miles. He gave figures for costs and other 

 interesting information. The following 

 officers were elected: President, Gerald 

 Power, River Ouelle Lumber Company; 

 Vice-President, Angus McLean, of the \V. 

 C. Edwards and Bathurst Lumber Com- 

 panys; Directors, Messrs. Black, of the J. 

 R. Booth Company; Mack, of the Brown 

 Corporation; Anderson, of the Shives Lum- 

 ber Company, and Wilson and Small, of the 

 Laurentide Company. Mr. Gaylord, of Ne- 

 ha-san-ee Park, joined in the discussion. 

 After the meeting it was proposed by some 

 of the men present that a school should be 

 held each year for scalers, foremen of drives 

 and woods operations, and any other men 

 who cared to work in the woods. Steps 

 will be taken to put this into effect. It was 

 also proposed to have meetings with mov- 

 ing pictures or lantern slides and practical 

 speakers in the small towns and villages in 

 districts from which the woods operatives 

 were recruited, in order to give the men a 

 better idea of their work and its import- 

 ance to the industry. Co-operative lum- 

 bering for those firms working on the same 

 watershed and who already co-operate in 

 driving, sorting and fire protection was 

 also discussed favorably. 



In the evening a meeting of all the co- 

 operative fire protective Associations was 

 held and it was decided to form a joint 

 association called the Quebec Forest Pro- 

 tective Association, on whose Board of Di- 

 rectors the Minister of Lands and Forests 

 would sit as a member, and which would 

 have charge of all matters which were of 

 common interest. This marks a long step 

 ahead in fire protection and will undoubted- 

 ly make for closer relationship and greater 

 efficiency.
