158 CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 



The expenditure for the year 1908 was $3,814.65, thus leaving a 

 balance of $416.74. At the present date (March llth, 1909), the balance on 

 hand is $487.32. 



On the 30th June Mr. J. M. Macoun resigned the Editorship of the 

 Forestry Journal and Mr. F. W. H. Jacombe was appointed Editor. The 

 Journal continues to do a useful work in furnishing information regarding 

 forestry matters, and has been supplemented by a series of 12 short bulletins 

 which were sent to 288 of the leading newspapers scattered throughout the 

 Dominion. 



Last October a Chair of Forestry was established in the University of 

 New Brunswick, at Fredricton, N.B., with Professor R. B. Miller in charge. 

 This is the second Forest School to be established in Canada and its develop- 

 ment will be watched with sympathetic interest by all interested in Forestry. 



During the year Mr. H. R. MacMillan, a graduate of the Yale Forest 

 School, and Mr. J. R. Dickson, a graduate of the Michigan Forest School, 

 have been added to the staff > of the Dominion Forest Service, and were 

 employed in surveys on the Forest Reserves in the Western Provinces of 

 the ten million acres of Forest Reserves under Dominion jurisdiction. One 

 million and a quarter have been surveyed and maps are being prepared. A 

 compilation of the statistics available in regard to the forests and forest pro- 

 ducts was made by Mr. A. H. D. Ross and is now being printed. Notwith- 

 standing the dry season of last year the fire patrol on Dominion Lands did 

 effective work and the loss of timber was small. 



The thanks of the Association are due to the railway companies for 

 special privileges and particularly to the newspaper press throughout the 

 Dominion for many courtesies.
