34 Canadian Forestry Journal 



The following resolution was read by Mr. J. Fraser Gregory, 

 of St. John :— 



We, representatives of Boards of Trade tViroughout the 

 length and breadth of the Dominion, delegates to the Canadian 

 Forestry Convention in session assembled: 



Resolve, that we heartily approve the interest taken by our 

 National Government and the Premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, 

 in calling this Convention and the assurance we have that the 

 preservation of the forest shall receive the great attention it 

 requires and demands. 



That we will report to our various Boards the valuable 

 lessons we have learned, and have them each and all impress on 

 their Provincial Governments the advisability of following the 

 example set by the Federal Government in taking steps to 

 protect, conserve and perpetuate their forests. 



On Saturday, through the kindness of the Grand Trunk 

 Railway and Mr. J. R. Booth, a visit was paid to Mr. Booth's 

 timber limit at Madawaska, where a pleasant time was spent and 

 a shanty dinner was thoroughly enjoyed by all. 



The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Forestry Association 

 will be held at Ottawa, on Thursday, the 8th March, 1906, in the 

 offices of the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior. 

 Only the election of officers and other necessary busmess will be 

 dealt with, owing to its following so closely the Forestry Con- 

 vention. 



An important announcement made at the Forestry Conven- 

 tion by the General Manager of the Bank of Commerce, Mr. B. E. 

 Walker, was to the effect that all the managers on the staff of the 

 Bank would be made members of the Canadian Forestry Associa- 

 tion. This promise has been promptly fulfilled. 



The Canadian Forestry Convention has the honor of recently 

 welcoming to its ranks His Grace Monsignor Bruchesi, Arch- 

 bishop of Montreal, and His Grace Monsignor Begin, Arch- 

 bishop of Quebec. 



Owing to the pressure of other business, it has been necessary 

 for Mr. R. H. Campbell to retire from the editorship of the 

 Forestry Journal. The next issue will, therefore, be under 

 other editorial management.
