CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 131 



Mr. STEWART. I have great pleasure in moving that Mr. W. B. Snowball, 

 of New Brunswick, our present Vice-President, be made President for the ensuing 

 year. It is unfortunate for us that Mr. Snowball was not able to be present at 

 this Convention. He was at Ottawa a short time ago and passed through Montreal, 

 when he called upon me and expressed his sorrow that he would not be able to be 

 here, as he had to go across the ocean. 



Col. LOGGIE. I have much pleasure in seconding that motion. Mr. Snowball, 

 and his late father, for the past fifty years have been leaders in the lumbering 

 industry in our Province, and it would be a fitting compliment to elect him to this 

 honourable position. 



Mr. Snowball's election as president was carried unanimously. 



The PRESIDENT. I have known Mr. Snowball personally for many years, and 

 I feel sure that this Association has done honour to itself in elect ing him, and I know 

 that it would be difficult for us to have chosen a better man. (Applause). For 

 the vacancy of Vice-President, I believe this will be filled by the Board of Directors. 



Mr. STEWART. I think you have overlooked the fact that the Vice-President 

 is elected by this body. It is the Vice-Presidents for the Provinces who are elected 

 by the Board of Directors. 





 The PRESIDENT. Yes, that is the case. We are now called upon to elect the 



Vice-President for the Association. 



Mr. G. Y. CHOWN. I beg to move that Mr. Thos. Southworth be Vice-President 

 for the coming year. He has been with us for many years back, and is one of the 

 older members of this Association. I am of the opinion that we have not sufficiently 

 appreciated the great work that Mr. Southworth has done as the forerunner of 

 the principle of Forest Reservation in the Dominion of Canada. 



He was the first man to start that and it has done great work in Ontario, 

 whose lead has been followed by the other Provinces. 



The nomination of Mr. Southworth was seconded by Mr. Little and carried 

 unanimously. 



The PRESIDENT. I regret to say that Mr. R. H. Campbell, our Secretary-Treas- 

 urer has written resigning his office, stating that he has found himself quite unable 

 to do the work in conjunction with his other work as head of the Dominion Forestry 

 Department. Under these circumstances we must regretfully accept his resigna- 

 tion, as he has told me that he is absolutely compelled to take that course. I 

 would suggest, as Mr. Campbell's successor, as being nominated by himself, sub- 

 ject to the consent of this Association, Mr. A. H. D. Ross, to succeed him as Sec- 

 retary of this Association.
