There are numer- ous labor-savin<f and time-saving logging devices on the market and the reason they are not in more general use is evidently a lack of knowledge of their application and cost iinder our local conditions. On the Pacific Coast a logging congress is held every year. It is attended by large numbers of practical loggers, machinery men and others interested in forest exploitation. At these meetings the experiences of various operators from British Columbia to California are exchanged, and the latest inventions and methods of logging are not only described but are demonstrated in the woods. As a re- â sult, wonderful progress has been made in the last few years, and the logging business has been practically revolutionized. Attention is also given to the human element in logging, and a great improve- ment in the living conditions of the men in the camps has been ef- fected through these meetings. Logging Conference for the East Is it not possible to organize such a conference in eastern Can- ada ? Many operators are experimenting in new methods, but the value of their experiences is lost for the want of a medium through which to impart their knowledge of the results to others. At gather- ings of this kind the manufacturers of logging machinery have not only an opportunity to bring their products to the attention of the industry, but they learn much from the practical woodsmen which enables them to improve their machines. We have annual gatherings of manufacturers of pulp and lum- be
