"We have received considerable favâ€" ourable publicity from people who have Aalready visited the North Country, but if we are to receive the full benefit we must do more than this, We have the attractions, we have the hospitality which is necessary and all we require is proper means of setting these before the people who are seeking recreation , At the present time some local men have been discussing ways and means for establishing winter sports here, which would appear to be a step in the right direction, but in the meantime the tourist season will soon be here and if we are to get a share of this proâ€" fitable trade we should be busy now. "Ontario and all parts of Canada have profited greatly during the past few years from the tourist traffic. In many places large sums of money have been spent to set forth their local points of interest and attraction to the people of the United States. The North Country has reaped some benefit from the influx of holiday makers and sightâ€"seers, but not at all in propor‘tionl‘ to the unrivalled attractions she has to offer to the visitor from the olderl sections of the continent. There have been discussions over this question or advertising at meetings of our local Board of Trade, as well as in sessionsl of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards, but so far little has been done with a view to increasing the tourist‘ trafiic. j l P oo e e e e e e m "A letter received last weekâ€"end §at| : °o this office leads us to the belief that we| ARTICLE IS LIKE THE BEE in Haileybury may be overlooking! â€"THE STING‘S AT THE ENT something.

It would also open the way for double as many tourâ€" ists to visit the North. In the meanâ€" time, however, while waiting for the belt line of roads, here is the editoria) from the last issue of The Haileyburian: An editorial in The Haileyburian last week refers to the apparent need for literature about the North Land and especially about Haileybury and district. It believes that such literature might help Haileybury to attract visitors there. New Liskeard has such literature. The Advance, for years past has supâ€" plied literature of this type in regard to Timmins. The Advance was under the impression that Haileybury had isâ€"| sued literature along this line not so| long ago. However, The Advance is of the opinion that the belt line of roads for the North would do more than all the literature issued, or to be issued, to attract tourists to this North Land.! Information About the North Land for Tourists "The said fifteen men will no doubt carry a rifle each, though they are certain to set more store on traps. They may or may not set out poisoned baits, since the taking of baits is rnot the special prerogative of wolves. The baits might bring death to martins and ' foxes and other small furâ€"bearing aniâ€" | mals, the killing of which is not deâ€" | stred. As for the shooting of wolves, this happens only through mere chance, so skilful are they at hiding when deâ€" tecting the presence of men. Oftener then otherwise a shooting occurs when wolves are in pursuit of deer and the rifleman chances to be in the path. "From the Soo, that burgh of lively wolves on skates, which would be rare sport indeed. Algonquin Park is singuâ€" larly rich in lakes of all sizes, from mere ponds to Big Opeongo, but durâ€" ing most of the winter the ice lies unâ€" der a thick covering of snow." _ "It is a wise move on the part of the Government, which move®may or may not be the result of the articles from the pen of Jack Miner lately appearing in the press. The fewer wolves the more deer and the more deer the greatâ€" er the number of tourists both within and without the park. The park being an unfenced area deer can overflow therefrom, in like manner as deer can enter the park from outside points to escape hunters of the biped variety, alâ€" | beit in entering it they encounter no end of hunters of the quadruped class.| Algonquin Park the Provincial Governâ€" ment has despatched a party of fifteen professional wolf hunters and trappers to that big area. The party will make a stay of six weeks there, and in addiâ€" tion to being in receipt of wages will be paid bounties on any wolves slain. No doubt they will also be allowed to keep the pelts, which are worth $10 or $15 each, depending on quality, this conâ€" stituting a further incentive to the men to do their best. ! _ Several recent references have been made in The Advance to the number of wolves in the Algonquin Park reserve ; and the need for something to be done | about it. Last year The Advance pubâ€" lished couple of letters from Jack Miner in this regard, and there was alâ€" so letter from another noted natureâ€" lover to the same effect. There have also been several comments on the matâ€" ' ter by The Advance, the most recent of which was the report that the Governâ€" lment intended to despatch a party of | fifteen trained men to kill off as many‘ of the wolves as possible in the Algonâ€" quin Park area. There has been no more clearâ€"cut presentatitbn of the case I against the wolves than that given by Jack Miner who has repeatedly pointed out that it is a simple choice as to wheâ€" ther the wolves or the deer shall surâ€" vive, as it is impossible that both can be allowed to live. The deer would not hurt the wolves, but the wolves certainâ€" ly will exterminate the deer unless some| action is taken to prevent this undeâ€" sirable conclusion. In referring editorâ€" lally to the matter last week The Renâ€" frew Mercury says:â€" ABOUT PLANS FOR KILLING WOLVES IN ALGONQUIN PARK . the Supreme Court of Ohio. It is arâ€" gued in the dog‘s behalf that the little | boy who was bitten made a pass at the dogz in the first place and that the aniâ€" mal in attacking him was only followâ€" | ing its instinctive inclinations. Onâ€" |lockers claim, however, that the big dozg approached the group of children at play and started nosing them. The |little victim became terrified and slapâ€" | ped the dog.« There is an old saying | that every dog is entitled to one bite. Those who have children or who are fond of children will say "No, not one bite." In hitting at the fierceâ€"looking animal that was nosing around him the Cincinnati child, like the dog, was folâ€" lowing its instinctive inclinations. So the question arises: "which has the betâ€" ter right to follow its inclinations in this world, a child or a dog? If the dog‘s master makes himself gnd the Supreme Court ridiculous by by taking such a matter before it a fitting climax to such a proceeding would be to put the dog on the witness stand and conâ€" | vene a jury of dogs to try the case." | "Administration of criminal justice across the line often appears farcical to those who have been reared under the more rigorous British law.

It is with a confidence begotten of long years of experience, that the « oldest steamship company operating on the Atlantic services, looks forward to an even greater era of progress in the Entering upon its 90th anniversary of steady progress in a life of service to the public, the presentâ€"day Cunard Line with its palatial "Berengaria," stately "Aquitania‘" and _ speedy "Mauretania," aptly described as the greyâ€"hound of the Atlantic; together with a large fiset of consort vessels, maintain a regular service between the principal ports of Great Britain and the North American continent. _ Officials of the company commented recently on the satisfactory progress made during the past year when many thousands of passengers were conveyed to and from Europe with regularity and safety by the many services of the Cuâ€" nard Line and its associated companies. which showed a big increase over numâ€" bers carried during the preceding yvears age of 78, when his son Edw;u'd fol lowed 11_1 his footsteps. One of the proudest moments in Cunard‘s life was on July 4th, 1840, when he set sail from Liverpool on beard the "Britannia‘" on its inaugural run for Halifax and Boston, the foreâ€" runner of the present great fieet of Cunarders, totalling toâ€"day nearly a million tons of shipping. After battling with the hazards of the Atlantic for 13 days, he triumphantly steamed into Halifax harbour on the morning of the l7th, finally arriving in Boston a few hours later where he was acclaimed by the populace for his outstanding achievement, receiving no less than nearly 2000 dinner invitations during the first day of his arrival in Boston. Samuel Cunard lived to see his great conception take practical form, and was knighted by the British Governâ€" ment for services rendered during the Crimean War He died in 1865 at the | M ho tor 2 n in onl h t ts P38 .404 2 { was finally awarded the contract, and ‘gave orders for the construction of four ‘paddle-wheel steamers of the following | dimensions: 1154 gross tons, length 207 breadth 34‘ 2", depth 24‘ 4" with a horse power of 740 and a speed of 8.5 ’knots. These vessels were known as 'the ‘"Britannia," "Acadia," "Columbia‘" and "Caledonia‘" and were to be deâ€" livered in 1840 to carry on the mail contract awarded to Cunard‘s comâ€" pany known at that time as the British and North American Royal Mail Steam i Packet Company. Perhaps the best known and most easily remembered of these vessels was the famous old "Briâ€" tannia," which was the first Cunarder to cross the Atlantic under her own steam. After experiencing some little diffiâ€" culty in raising sufficient capital to embark on his ambitious enterprise, he What seasoned mariners consider to be a remarkable feat was the Cunarder "Mauretania‘s" recent fast midâ€"winter ]crossing between New York and Engâ€" land which was accomplished in 4 days 23 hours and 3 minues, at an average speed of 25.42 knots. This time figured from New York to Eddystone lightâ€" house, Plymouth, is only a few hours longer than the "Mauretania‘s‘ best time of 4 days, 17 hours and 50 minâ€" utes, at an average speed of 27,22 knots registered between the same points, last August. In view of the severe gales that have been experienced reâ€" cently, which have made even express liners between 2 and 3 days late, this fast crossing will probably stand as the most outstanding on the high seas, this winter.

"But the captain was not satisfied and the manager found a week later, when inspecting the mine, that a round had been drilled on the poorâ€"looking vein. "I had a machine idle, no place to put it, so thought I‘d take out anâ€" other round," apologized the captain. "You‘ll keep going back to that face whether I give you permission or not, so I might as well give you permission," remarked the manager. "How much farther do you want to drive?" he querâ€" ied. "Only 30 feet, no more," was the promise.
