The two engravings from which reproductions have been made on this and the 

 adjoining pages were received from Mr. H. R. MacMillan, Special Trade Commis- 

 sioner of the Dominion Government, and Chief Forester of British Columbia. At 

 the time of writing, February 16, 1916, Mr. MacMillan was at Lahore, India. The 

 pictures graphically illustrate the success of torrent control in France. The first 

 shows a torrent in the Lower Alps, the bed of which has been built up by barrages 

 behind which sediment collects. Picture taken in 1887.
