He urged the people of the North and especially at North Bay to prepare to deal with the profitâ€" able tourist trade that he believed would materialize before more than a couple of years had passed. | i The reports of the address by Hon. Mr. Finlayson, as given out after the event, make interesting reading for all in the North Land. The keynote of the address may be said to be advice to the citizens of North Bay and district to be prepared for a big and profitable influx of tourists when the new highâ€" ways leading into the city are comâ€" pleted. Hon. Mr. Finlayson is quoted as statâ€" ing definitely the highway from North Bay to Toronto would be entireâ€" ly paved within a couple of years, and. that the route to the eastern part of the province, by way of the Ottawa Valâ€" ley, would also be practically comâ€" | pleted in the same course of time. The building of these two motor avenues to tap the eastern and southern parts of the province with unexecelled roads would be the means of developing the tourist industry to amazing proporâ€" tions. He urged the building of lodges, summer camps and suchlike accommoâ€" dation for the touring visistors as means of capitalizing on the oppotâ€" :unity to the fullest extent. _ Wm. Finlayson was "speaking at a meeting in the city hall at North Bay last week where the delegates had gathered for the Liberalâ€"Conservative convention to select a candidate to conâ€" test the riding of Nipissing in the proâ€" vincial byâ€"election. After the nominaâ€" tion of the candidate and the other business of the convention, the deleâ€" gates and the public generally assemâ€" bled to hear the Minister of Lands and Forests. \ Prominent @among his pronounCceâ€" ments was a statement to the effect that a start would be made this Winter at building the Transâ€"Canada link from Pembroke to North Bay. He said the Ontario and Dominion governments had decided upon proceeding with this stretch immediately and that preparaâ€". tions had been made to start gangs from Chalf River west, with a view to continuing through to North Bay. The road from Mattawa west to North Bay is not a bad stretch, and for that reat son the start is being made on a nearly impassable stretch from Chalk River to Mattawa. Touching on this link of the transcontinental route in detail, the Minister said the distance from Pemâ€" broke to Petawawa had been paved, and that reâ€"building operations are now in progress to Chalk River. West of there, a tenâ€"mile stretch had been practically completed in readiness for surfacing next season, and from there to Mattawa extensive operations will be in progress this Winter. This work, he said would help greatly towards relievâ€" ing unemployment in that section of the country. Turning to the Severn to North Bay part of the Ferguson highway, Hon. Mr. Finlayson stated that work now in proâ€" gress will, within two years, carry a hardâ€"surfaced route to this city. This stretch, is being shortened by ten per cent., and nine level crossings are being eliminated. A reâ€"treated surface which has proven its qualities under heavy traffic is being laid at a cost of beâ€" tween $7,000 and $8,000 per mile. The completed road is now extended to a point four miles north of Huntsville, and next year it will be carried to sectia Junction, and it is also the hope of the Department to have the entire route graded and ready for surfacing into North Bay at the end of next year. It will require a year beyond that time to do the reâ€"surfacing work. He said the newlyâ€"built road from Callander south to Powassan would in all probaâ€" bility be opened to traffic for a time this Fall to pack it down under traffic and then closed for a time. He said it is his hope that a commencement will be made next Spring at hardâ€"surfacâ€" ing this stretch. s â€" ns Om‘ the aim of the Department to make Northern Ontario particularly attractive for American visitors, and other tourâ€" ists, and in pursuance of this plan it is the intention to provide a circuitous route from the south to the north and return by way of the Ottawa Valley. He said such a circuit would have unâ€" estimable appeal to motor travellers, 2 tablespoors shortening 1 cup cold sweet milk, more or lees THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO and be of immense profit to the muniâ€";| cipalities concerned. Northern Onâ€" tario, along the route of the Ferguson highway is matchless in attractiveness to tourists, while west through Sudbury | to Sault Ste. Marie or across to Maniâ€". tolin Island likewise offers a highly appealing trip. He said exceptionally good roads now exist throughout Maniâ€" toulin Island, and the attractions are unparalleled. He added that arrangeâ€" ments have been completed for a daily ferry service from the Island to the Bruce Peninsula to give motor travelâ€" lers another route by which to enter or leave Northern Ontario. In answer to questions asked by some of his audience, Mr. Finlayson stated emphatically that it is impossible for the government to consider the reâ€" building or building of lateral roads. They are willing to assist with the building of trunk or main roads, but must draw the line at offshoots. Every availabie doliar is being spent on the construction of main thoroughfares, and, until that scheme is well advanced it is impossible to even consider shoulâ€" dering the responsibility of taking over tap routes. It was in connection with the argument advanced by W. A. Cockâ€" burn and H. Stockdale for improveâ€" ments to the Trout Lake road from North Bay that Mr. Finlayson made ‘particular reference. *"There is no use in discussing or arguing for the buildâ€" ing orgreâ€"building of such roads for the reason that it is impossible for the government to so extend its road buildâ€" ing operations." he said. "If we were to accede to such requests, we would be deluged with petitions for roads Aall through the country. Where would the money come from?" he asked. He plained that a miillion dollars is being spent each year on extending the hardâ€" surfaced road from Severn to North Bay and other similar sums are being e e o , disbursed in other sections of the North. The government, he said, is proceedâ€" ing with road building through Norâ€" thern Ontario as quickly as the availâ€" able money will permit. Speaking of the route of the Canada Highway, Mr. Finlayson said he did not mind touching on the subâ€" ject in North Bay for the reason that there is no doubt of the city being on the route, however it may course CroSss the country. He said the route is fixed through the Ottawa Valley to North Bay, and from Port Arthur to Fort William to the Manitoba boundary. There is also a link extended east to Nipigon. Of the three routes being urged through North Ontario, he said, all had their appeals. He said he would not even venture an opinion aAs to which of the three should be folâ€" lowed. However, North Bay would be interested in knowing that the Federal Provincial Governments had agreed on t,he route from Pembroke west to North Bay, and that the construction work would be started this year. Mr. Finlayson stated that North Bay is very advantageously located, and is bound to benefit directly or indirectly from all roads built in Northern Onâ€" tario. He lauded the citizens for their civic pride, as evidenced in the interest they take in improving their city. The eastern entrance to the city, the streets h. t a hh and the general appearance of the city is very creditable, and reflects the inâ€" terest taken by the people in their community. He said his Department had suggested that they coâ€"operate in the improving of the western entrance to improve the road routes and at the same time add to the city‘s attractiveâ€", ness. He hoped that this work will be proceeded with in due course. He reâ€" marked the steady and substantial growth of the city, and said the people are fortunate in having three large railâ€" 4c acd stt d way payâ€"rolls to sustain it when deâ€" pression and slumps are felt in cther places. "You do not reach the heights that other places may, but certainly you do not reach the depths of depresâ€" sion that boom places have to face MJ NJ A | Acdcactdiud . oi s eventually," he said. He concluded by encouraging the citizens to anticipate and prepare for great increase in the tourist traffic by arranging to properly cater to the Summer visitors. Mr. Finlayson said he would leave North Bay on Wednesday evening for Algonquin Park to visit a newlyâ€"apâ€" pointed park superintendent, and from there proceed on motor trip through the Upper Ottawa Valley. He said he had come to North Bay from Toronto in a little over five hours. "There canâ€" nt be much fault with the roads when a person can do that," he remarked. Motoring down to London on the Great North Road at the weekâ€"end my attention was caught by a new type of danger sign. This was picture of large black cow on a white ground. bearing underneath the word "Farm." It was striking enough to be noticed by motorists, but not sO blatant as to detract from the picturesqueness of its surroundings. I asked an official of th> motoring club responsible for its erection if this were novelty. He just told me that in fact the sign has only just been up, and it marks the first step in a new scheme which will shortly come into force. It is proposed to put up signs which bear a simple design depicting the type of risk which motorâ€" ists may expect to find immediately on their route. Thus, that constant source of danger, the humped bridge is soon to be heralded by a black and white picâ€" ture. ("‘London Day by Day" Telegraph.)

Recently near Blenheim, a Michigan driver got into a smash. He is now serving seven days in jail for being inâ€" toxicated while driving; he must pay costs of $24.50 and also $40 damage to the car he hit, and all on court order. And what is more, the offendâ€" ing drivers‘s car is being held by the officer‘s until the court orders are carâ€" ried out. Now, there was no dead set made upon this Michigan driver. The new law was just simply enforced. With a real set of teeth, this new law, which is a very fair one, will do much to cncourage safe and sane drivâ€" ing, and at the same time reduce acciâ€" dents to a minimum. ADVOCATES BOUNTY OF $25 FOR KILLING OF WOLVES The wolf menace is still a matter of concern and there does not seem to be many in a position to know just what should be done who do not advocate an increased bounty as the best means of curbing the wolf menace. This is the suggestion of John Franz, a trapper for sixty years, who recently wrote to The Canadian Forest and Outdoors on the matter. After the experience of sixty years in trapping, the opinion of John Franz should surely be of special value in the case. So, here is what Mr. FranZz SayS:â€" "On reading an article on page 137 of the March number of Forest and Outdoors, on the wolf question. I think I can make a few suggestions that would help on that subject, for I am an old trapper. I have seen this fur trapping grow from poverty to wealth. This was in Wisconsin. T later trapped timber wolves in Norâ€" thern Wisconsin and have trapped lynx and bob cats. "We had in Wisconsin the same conâ€" ditions that your article speaks of and they got control of his royal majesty, Mr. Wolf, in a few years‘ time. Your article speaks of poison. Never allow that, for every wolf you poison you will poison ten other valuable fur bearers. A wolf won‘t eat any frozen meat. He will kill a deer and eat all he wants and never go back again to the deer. When Wisconsin put enough bounty on the wolf so it paid the trapper to trap in summer time, they soon reâ€" duced the wolf tribe. "The cheapest way to get rid of the wolves is to put a $25 bounty ‘on each wolfâ€"you won‘t be bothered with wolves in a few years. A good trapper can catch five wolves easier in sumâ€" mer time to one in winter time. . A wolf changes his habits in winter, just the reverse to summer. I can catch a wolf in summer as easy as rabbit, and find him the hardest animal to trap in winter that roams the woods."
