SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 



AN 



American Forest Congress 



WILL BE HELD AT 



Washington, D. C., January 2-6, 1905 



UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE 



, AMERICAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 



This Congress is called to consider the forests in their relation to the great 

 industries closely dependent upon them, such as lumbering, transportation, 

 irrigation, mining, and grazing, and to forward the conservative use of the forest 

 resources of the country, to meet the present and future needs of these great 

 industries. 



That this Congress is of national importance is shown by the fact that the 

 President of the United States will address it, and has promised to receive its 

 delegates ; while the presence of many of the foremost men of our industrial life 

 at its sessions assures definite and far-reaching results from its deliberations. 



Altogether, this Congress promises to be the most notable event the forest 

 movement in this country has known. Delegates will be present from the gov- 

 ernment bureaus having forest and irrigation work in charge ; from the various 

 lumbermen's associations ; mining, stockmen's, and woodworking associations ; 

 engineering societies, and many other representative organizations. 



The attendance promises to be the largest that has ever been present at a 

 meeting devoted to forest subjects in this country. The official call for the 

 Congress will be issued by the American Forestry Association in November ; 

 arrangements for special railroad rates are in progress, and information on this 

 point, as well as on hotel and other matters, will be announced at an early date 

 by the committee in charge.
