N Tourists It was stated in every place visited that 0. thesummer business this year was better` ' than ever before and that the tourist traf- E] fic had increased beyond all expectations. The best evidence of the increase in tourist traffic is the fact noted all along that the 9 amount of American money in cirnllation 3 is very large andmuch greater than ever d before in the history of the Blue Water d ( v C 2 01 Highway towns. Another evidence of the increased popularity of the Blue Water district with the American tourists is the fact that a-considerable number of them have `purchased sites for summer homes, and a large number have already built sum- mer homes and camps. Several large beach colonies have been started at various points and frontageivalues have increased gener-* ally all along the route. The Highway Asociation Members of the Highway Association re- port in every municipality a decided in- 1 crease in the interest taken for the promo- I tion of the projected highway and fast be- i coming familiar with the advantages such a ' highway will bring to their respective com- munities. `Members of the executive along the route all report that they` are` highly pleased at the effortsmade by the Associa- tion and have unanimously gotten behind the proposition with a view to putting it across at as early 9. date as possible.

A number of Sarnia motorists who have. made the trip over the Blue Water High- way. have been interviewed and report a fine trip and a good time and are enthus- iastic over the whole scheme. Some of the Sarnia motorists have made arrange- ments to spend considerable time in the Bruce Peninsula. fishing. Also. several Sar- nia motorists contemplate doing some hunt- ing along the northern part of the highway this fall. The representative of this paper can recommend the trip up over the Blue Water Highway as being the most attrac- tive and convenient trip out of Sarnia. KILLED IN FOUNDRY DV Cl El A sad fatal accident occurred at Penetang on Saturday afternoon by which one of the workmen at the Stove Foundry lost his life. Harry Mercer, 45 years old, was, with some other vworkmen engaged in operating the cement mixer which was being used in cer- tain factory extension work, and is driven by electric current. `He was in the act of turning off the current for the day, when in pulling the switch he came in contact with the current.

At the same time gold mining becomes more profitable and the out-put of gold is greater. The present activity of the gold-mining companies is owing to the fall in prices and to the expec-_ tation of further recessions.
