was constructed across New Brunswick legislation was passed that 

 each survey party should take extra precautions. He trusted 

 that this convention would be of great assistance in the preser- 

 vation of our natural inheritance. 



His Honour G. H. V. Bulyea, Lieutenant-Governor of 



Alberta 



said the addresses had been profitable to him and he hoped to 

 get more information as to how to preserve the timber resources. 

 In his province, lying east of the mountains, there was a consider- 

 able extent of forest, north of the Saskatchewan River, but at 

 present the two Prairie Provinces had to get their lumber from 

 British Columbia. The question of preservation was of vital 

 importance to the people here, for if the price of lumber went 

 higher it meant much to them. He thanked the President for 

 his invitation, and said he came for information. He confessed 

 he had practically no knowledge of the lumber interests, but he 

 appreciated the fact that every protection should be given to 

 the forests. 



Hon. W. H. Gushing also represented the Province of Alberta. 



A Resolution Committee was appointed as follows:
