A very attractive booklet desceriptive of Waterton Lake park has been published by the Dominion Department of the Interior. _ The booklet is beautifully illustrated with pictures of the scenery, the animals and the flowers to be found in the park. No doubt many will be tempted to visit this Government park through the alluring literature issued. This tempts The Advance to suggest to the Provincial Government the possibility of similar effort in behalf of the tourists‘ paradise through which the Ferguâ€" son highway passes. A booklet devoted to the beauty and interest of the country served by the new North Land trunk road would be a revelation and a joy. This North Land has natural scenery of greatest interest and beauty. The Dominion park booklet depicts vistas of wonderful beauty. So might a booklet on the Ferguson highway country. The charm of the great lane running through the Temagami forest reserve with its virgin timber would be hard to exeell. The vales, the mountains, the rivers, the lakes, the long stretches of green sward and the tossing pines of the North Land delight the eyes of all lovers of beauty and nature. In flowers, the North has a profusion, many of beauty unexcelled in the tropics. _ The orchids native to this North are worth study. The wild roses make bowers of beauty. The clover in bloom on wide stretches is a picture typical of the North. In addition to the natural beauty of the North there is a variety to the seeing eye that lends additional interest. The mines, the lumbering, the pulp and paper industries and the agricultural development of this North are worth seeing for their owm sake, but beyond this there is the charm of forest, river and lake and mountain and vale, with trees, flowers, shrubs, and many interesting kinds of fish and game not yet slaughtered by the thoughtless. The viceâ€"president of the United States is reported to have secured a lodge on Manitoulin Island for its beauty and restfulness. Hundreds of similar charming spots are available in the great North, often overlooke:l! by those in the. country itself. These beauty places, however, must be known to be appreciated, and the Government should not overlook the opportunity of presenting to the world at large the attractiveness of the land served by the Ferguson highway. must be known to the opportunity of land served by the Toronto is at last gaining these days the city is referred perienced vampers wanted.

Until a year or two ago this district eseaped any serious harm from the various menaces of the automobile. That luck has now departed apparently, and this district is faced with the automobile problem. There is not any question but that the problem may be solved, if the automobile drivers, the authorities and the public work together. After all, safety may be assured by the observance of a few simple rules dictated by thought for others. There must be absolutely no intoxicated person in wharge of a car. There must be observance of the rules of the roads and the regulations regarding lights. There must be no carelessness, no recklessness. There must be no taking a chancee. And there must be no speeding. Drivers must be competent to handle their cars, and .skilful enough to avoid the confusion that often is the forerunner of accidents. With such simple rules as these, and giving the other fellow a fair sportsmanlike deal, whether he be pedestrian or fellow motorist, the automobile accident may be largely eliminated. No thoughtful person desires to do away with the automobile. No one as yet has suggested a form of 0. T. A. to appiy to automobiles. But if it is a matter of the automobile or humanity, the people are sure to choose to hold their own lives safe., An important concern dealing in oils is at present devoting full page spaces in the newspapers to warning the public against the danger of the automobile. In its agitation for sane driving and careful use of the roads, the ol company referred to is showing rare business shrewdness and farâ€" sightedness, Unless the orgy of maiming and murder on ithe highways is curbed, sensible people will soon cease to use automobiles. People toâ€"day are too modern to permit an invention of their own to exterminate them. The accidents through automobiles are a decided injury to the popularity of motoring, and unless there is a decided reduction in the number of people crippled and killed, the manufacturers of autos, the dealers in oil and accessories will before long feel the effects of the public opposition to wholeâ€" saie damage and death. Automobile manufacturers and dealers would do well to join the oil company and the newspapers in agitation for the reducâ€" tion of the death and damage toll from automohile accidents, An important conicern dealing in oils spaces in the newspapers to warning the automobile. In its agitation for sane driv the ol company referred to is showing ri sightedness,. Unless the orgy of maiming curbed, sensible people will soon cease to are too modern to permit an invention of The accidents through automobhiles are a de The people at last are rousing themselves in regard to the terrible toll of life taken by the automobile traffic of the day. The Ottawa Journal in recent seathing editorials condemned the whole system of traffic responsible for such loss of life, such damage to property and such injury and danger to humanity. The Toronto Globe and other leading newspapers speak in equally emphatic terms. _ The readers of these and other newspapers are msaking appeal to the motorists, the authorities and the general public, for a stopping of the frightful damage and appalling slaughter through imâ€" proper use of the automobile. A few years ago the automobiles made the roads dangerous for pedestrians. Toâ€"day the highways are an equal menace to the motorists themselves. No matter how eareful an individual motor driver may be he has to take the chance of damage, injury or death through some other car driven by a drunk, a fool or a speed fiend. In a letter to the daily newspapers, Hon. Sir Thomas White places the public attitude on the question of automobile traffic in very effective way. He points out that either automobile traffic must curb its destruction or the public will rise and curb the automobile traffic. The whief cause of the appalling list of automobile accidents, Sir Thomas White believes, is due to the high speed standards. Man‘y will agree with this. All the talk to the contrary, whether from motor manufacturers or whoever else may speak, high speed makes the (quick control of a car a physical impossibility. And the accidents all occur in seconds. Just why there is necessity for the present type of speed will puzzle the thoughful. A high rate of speed seems useless, to say. the least, when it only leads to the cemeteryv. SEVERE CRITICISM OF THE NUMBER OF AUTOâ€" MOBILE ACCIDENTS.

Each wedding brought out a large array of automobhiles duly deâ€" corated for the ~occasion and the events attracted much interest. Mr. J. Heppleston, formerly manager of the A. E.

Small breaks in a road are usually the chief contributing cause of bad roads. These small pieces of broken road gather the water and lead to more serious trouble. Attention to the small holes and breaks in a road means the keeping of the roadway in good condition. A plan that would provide attention for every bad strip of road as soon as such a poor spot shows up would seem to be a good system indeed. No doubt the Government may be able to work out a system of road patrol that will assure attention for every little bad spot of roadway as soon as it develops. A plan of that description would appear to be Apparently this is a specially good year for pansies, and just as eviâ€" dently the North Land is particularly suitable country for the growth of these charming flowers. All over town there are gardens and plots made beautiful by pansws of unusual size and striking colourings and designs. One garden on Main avenue has a wonderful array of large pansies, beautiâ€" fully coloured and brilliantly tinted. Some of these pansies are of the double variety and measure three inches across, being unusually large. Other gardens in town have similarflowers of equal size and beauty. Probably few flowers give as great a return in beauty and attraction for so little work and care as the charming pansy. Considering the time and trouble and cost, it is better to devote attention to Pansies than to Lizzies or even other Janes. And it is muech safer. Lakeview, near Toronto, on Saturday last had one of the most remarkable double weddings on record. The two brides were sisters, Mary and Henrietta Hutchison. The grooms were brothers, Geo. H. and Albert T. Wren. ‘The groomsmen were brothers. The bridesmaids were sisters. The flower girls were twin sisters. The two couples left on their honeymoons together, and on their return will live in adjoining houses, with the home of the bride‘s parents on one side and the home of the groom‘s father and mother on the other side. This double wedding was certainly a family wedding. Much more might be said.
