NEW OFFICES FOR ASSOCIATION. 



Meeting of Directors Authorized Improved Equipment to Carry 

 on the Work.— Annual Meeting, January 20th. 



New offices for the Canadian For- 

 estry Association were advocated 

 and authorized at a meeting- of the 

 Board of Directors held in the office 

 of the Director of Forestry, Mr. R. 

 H. Campbell, on October 28th. 



The Association is now located in 

 excellent quarters on the fourth 

 floor of the new Booth Building, 

 Sparks Street, Ottawa. An assis- 

 tant has been engaged and with 

 these new and better facilities, the 

 work of the Association will increase 

 in volume and in scope. 



Hitherto, the Association occupied 

 desk room in one of the departments 

 of the Forestry Branch and while 

 this courtesy of the Director of For- 

 estry greatly aided the Association 

 in numerous ways, it was felt by 

 many that the growth of the work 

 and the healthy condition of the 

 funds justified a forward move. 



There were present at the meet- 

 ing: Mr. Denis Murphy, who acted 

 as chairman in the absence of the 

 president; Mr. Hiram Robinson, 

 Mr. C. Jackson Booth, Hon. Sydney 

 Fisher, Mr. A. S. Goodeve, and Mr. 

 R. H. Campbell. Letters and tele- 

 grams were received from the Pre- 

 sident, Mr. F. C. Whitman, Mr. G. 

 Y. Chown, Mr. Gordon C. Edwards, 

 Mr. E. Stewart, Dr. B. E. Fernow, 

 Mr. C. E. E. Ussher, Mr. W. C. J. 

 Hall, and Mr. Ellwood Wilson. 



It was decided to hold the Annual 

 Meeting on January 20th. The rea- 

 sons for selecting this date appealed 

 favorably to the directors. Four 

 organizations of more or less related 

 aims, The Canadian Forestry Asso- 



ciation, Commission of Conserva- 

 tion, Canadian Lumbermen's Asso- 

 ciation, and Canadian Society of 

 Forest Engineers, hold their annual 

 meetings early in the year. The 

 Conservation Commission is obliged 

 by statute to meet on January 18th 

 and 19th next. With that fact in 

 view, the other three societies have 

 arranged to group their meetings 

 within the three day period — Janu- 

 ary 18-20, Tuesday, Wednesday and 

 Thursday — so as to increase the at- 

 tendance at all the meetings and 

 arouse an interest otherwise impos- 

 sible. 



It is definitely settled, therefore,, 

 that the Canadian Forestry Asso- 

 ciation will meet on Thursday, Jan- 

 uary 20th, and in all probability the 

 Canadian Lumbermen's Association 

 will hold its sessions the day pre- 

 vious. 



The meeting will not be restricted 

 to business considerations but a 

 number of addresses will be given 

 at both morning and afternoon ses- 

 sions. Negotiations are being car- 

 ried on for the appearance of sev- 

 eral speakers of more than national 

 prominence, so that the 20th of Jan- 

 uary will be a day of interest for 

 every member and friend of the As- 

 sociation who can come to Ottawa. 

 A joint banquet will be held at the 

 Chateau Laurier probably on the 

 night of We'dnesday, the 19th. The 

 Secretary of the Canadian Forestry 

 Association would be obliged for 

 advance intimations from all who in- 

 tend to be present at any of the 

 meetings or the banquet. 



The Canadian Forestry Journal will be sent to any address for one dollar a year.
