length. 



Cn the second day, the Western Forestry and Conserv- 

 ation Association leld its regular meeting, and some splen- 

 did papers dealing with the work of that association -and 

 results accomplished in its fire protective and publicity 

 campaign were read. 



Cn Wednesday a Joint meeting of the American Forestry 

 Association and the Western Forestry and Conservation As- 

 souiaticn wus held, and on Thursday the series of meetings 

 was oonoluded by a session of the Pacific logging congress. 



Forssters and visiting lumbermen were at various times 

 the guests of the San Francisco lumbermen, at luncheon , and 

 at an elaborate banquet at the Commercial Club. Throughout 

 the meetings there was apparent a spirit of cooperation be- 

 tween foresters and those interested in lumbering and fire 

 protection, and the trend of the meeting was decidedly of 

 a constructive nature. It was regretted by everyone that 



.Henry 3. Graves, the Porester, could not be present. His 

 paper dealing with the relation of the G-overnnent to the 

 1 r.ber industry was read, however, and was received with 

 r.ucii interest. 



Those who arranged for the meetings are to be congrat- 

 ulated and should be highly proud of the success attending 

 their efforts. The Proceedings of the Society of American 

 Foresters and the lumber trade journals will all, undoubtedly, 

 contain extended reports of meetings. 



1'ha Sierra was represented by ex-Supervisor Shlnn, Dep~ 

 uty Supr ai i* or Ian, District Hangers Wctfford, Priae and 

 la/lor, atui the writer. A man who took a prominent part in 

 he nyeciugs wus K.D.Langille who years ago was well known on 

 the Sisrra as an Inspector. 



Meetings o this kind oannot help but add considerable 

 Impetus to forestry, and should aid in widely extnnding the 

 cooperative spirit which alra.idy exists between foresters 

 and lumbermen.
