 towns and cities. 



If the experiment in domesticating 

 reindeer at Fort Smith had been 

 successful it would have meant a 

 great deal to northern Canada, and 

 in time might have led to as bene- 



ficial results as in Alaska. Some- 

 thing may come of it yet, or an- 

 other trial of the same kind may be 

 made. But the native deer are 

 there, at any rate, and it remains for 

 Canadian genius to find some way 

 of utilizing them. That Athabasca 

 halfbreed has shown a very 

 example, as a beginning.

"A Matter of Opinion" 



Under the above tithe the Can- 

 adian Forestry Association will is- 

 sue this month fifteen thousand 

 small books of about thirty pages 

 each, with colored cover, for general 

 distribution throughout the Dom- 

 inion. A French edition of eight or 

 ten thousand will be issued simul- 

 taneouslv. 



"A Matter of Opinion" presents 

 to the reader the main arguments for 

 forest protection in the form of 

 soliloquies by The Settler, The Rail- 

 road Man, The Camper, The Fire 



Ranger, The Banker. The Power 

 Engineer, The Taxpayer. Each 

 speaks of the forest from his own 

 point of view and testifies by his 

 narrative to the forward movement 

 in conservation during recent years. 

 These booklets will be sent to all 

 members as soon as issued, and the 

 bulk of the edition will be distri- 

 buted direct to settlers, railroad 

 men, etc., etc., through the Associa- 

 tion's facilities provided by the 

 banks, the railroads, forest depart- 

 ments, etc.
