CHILLIWACK. FEB. 14, 1906. FORESTRY IX CANADA. The "Forestry Convention" recently held at Ottawa is likely to result in far reaching benefits to the Dominion.

The mass. of information laid before the various meetings was of a most valuable nature and manifested wide research on the part of those chosen to address the Convention. Especially was this true of that delivered by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, which was most comprehensive in its scope and accurate in its detail. The Governor General also contributed a valuable paper on the subject. The objects sought to be achieved by the Forestry Association may generally be summed under three heads.

1st. The conservation and preservation of the present timber Wealth of the country. 2nd. The creation of new reserves by out planting large tracts of land with trees suitable to the several districts. 3rd.

The modification of climatic conditions following the planting of trees in districts which are at present treeless. These are matters which surely demand the serious attention of all who are interested in the Dominion's future. The people in the United States are suddenly waking up to a realization of the fact that the wholesale spoilation of tle for est weattn oi tnat country is proving most disastrous, and strenuous efforts are now bein made by the Department of Agri culture to remedy the evil. What has been and is being done on the "other side" serves as a most valuable object lesson to Cana dians and it is not likely to be milled ed.

In the East it is constantly laying down supplies at Midway and completing the purchase of njfht of wav between the Knttl River and the Okanajran. A few days ago it closed a bargain with Davey Mc Bride on Anarchist Mountain for right of way through his rauch, and roost (if the right of way has dow beetj adjusted. In the West the gradus are Hearing Nicola, and Lie steel is being laid from Spences Bridge. But the eutire siguificanee of tbra move at Okanagan Landing; will not be known for a niODth or two. The new steamer to take the place of the Aberdeen on Okanagau Lake is explained as the initial step towards establishing daily service down the lake, but the barge are to nf the same size and build as those used Uv the Conipauy ou the Arrow Lakes and elsewhere for transporting trains A railway slip is also to be put in nt Okanagan Landing, to permit running the trains on th barges and carrying them down the lake to Peuticton.

That cars will be taken down the lake toPenticton to unload them there and send them hack on the barge empty ie not at all probable. 'Hie more likely course will be to build down the valley ftom Penticton to the point where the main line from Mid way to Stances Bridge is met, and deliver materia to the construction gangs by the carload. All the Great Northern's steel which will cover the route between Midway and the Hope Mountains must be laid from the one end at Midway. The C. P.

R. on the other haQd is enabled, if it chooses, to rave uo fewer than four different sleel gangs to cover the same portion, viz, one workiug westward from Midway, one eastward from Spences Bridge, and two from Pontic ton going east and west to meet the gaDgu from either end.

Tlie recent large slaughter of horses ou accouut of the epidemic nf glanders has had the effect of making good horses, especially of the heavy draught classes, very haul to secure. Nearly all the homeowners who have had animals destroyed are now trying to tecure good, sound ones to take the places of the slaughtered horses, and are having considerable trouble in doing so. One homeowner told The to day that he wautod two or three teams, and although lie had bee.i lookiug for them for severnl days, had not been able to get. any. He added that, it was practically impossible to buj good heavy draught hordes at the present time, as there were very few for sale.
