AT THE RECEPTION BY THE COMMERCIAL CLUB ; SEVERAL PROMINENT DELEGATES AS THEY 

 APPEARED TO ARTIST FRANK WING OF THE MINNEAPOLIS "JOURNAL." 



On the evening of Wednesday, Au- 

 gust 26, Secretary Wilson addressed a 

 mass meeting at the Plymouth Church. 

 This address was on the general subject 

 of ' ' Forestry, ' ' and designed to give his 

 listeners a correct notion of the work 

 being done by the Bureau of Forestry 

 and by all who are interested in forest 

 extension and preservation. 



A gratifying feature of this meeting 

 was the attitude of the press of the 

 " Twin Cities" especially, and of even 

 more remote places. Excellent and 



accurate accounts were given by, the 

 St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Minneapolis 

 Journal, The Times, the St. Paul Globe, 

 The Despatch, and others. Many gave 

 important editorial comment, marked 

 not only by a genuine interest in the 

 subjects presented at the meetings, but 

 also by an evident knowledge and con- 

 viction on the several points under dis- 

 cussion. 



Future issues of FORESTRY AND IR- 

 RIGATION will contain addresses deliv- 

 ered at this session.
