ABOUT MBR.SHAW‘S PROPOSED TRIP ACROSS THE DOMINION Further Pariicular; Regarding the Auto Trip Planned to Give Publicity to the Transâ€"Canada Highway Proposal. It is interesting to note at the present moment when there is so much being said in favour of different routes for the Transâ€"Canada highway that all the trips planned to show the feasibility of the highway have used the route through Hearst. It was from Hearst that Messrs Needham and Gus Mcâ€" Manus left some months ago on their plan to complete the Transâ€"Canada journey. It is from Hearst that Messrs Shaw and Steers, of Hamilton, will proâ€" ceed to bridge the gap through Ontario next year. The Sault Ste. Marie Star had much to say about muskeg west of Hearst when Needham and McManus started their journey some months ago, but evidently though this route is diffiâ€" cult the one by way of the north shore of Lake Superior as advocated by The Star is absolutely impossible. There was great interest at the Cochâ€" rane meeting, and also at Timmins whon he spoke at the Kiwanis Club here, in regard to the motor trip Mr. Shaw planned for 1931 to give publicity to the Transâ€"Canada highway. In desâ€" patches from Hamilton last week exâ€" tended reference is made to this proâ€" posed trip as follows:â€"â€" It will be recalled that last suminer E. Wharton Shaw, of Hamilton, was in Timmins and other centres of the North Land where he spoke of the p3assible routes of th> Transâ€"Canada highway. In a word or two, it may be summed up that he thought the route along the Ferguson highway to Cochran: and «mut +A tIITanrc‘t and thon WSEtCZ’iV and Ferguson highway tOo Cochran? @And west to Hearss and then westerly and southerly to join reads already in °xâ€" istence in the Lake Nipigon area W2aS the best route, but he supported what was termed a "comproimise" route beâ€" cause he believed that pulitical influâ€" ence would be liable to work against th2 route suggested as the best.. This "compromise" was ncthing more nor less than the building of a road from sudbury northwards and connecting up with the one from Hearst; in cther words, duplicating the Ferguson highâ€" way by building a road north from Sudbury and calling it part of the Transâ€"Canada highway. When he preâ€" sented this theory to the meeting of the Associated Boards at Cochrane it as voted down. The Associated Boards, while agreeing that such a feeder would be all right, felt that by as a feeder and to be built by the proâ€" vince, but not as a part of the Transâ€" Canada highway. no stretch of imagination could it be termed part of the Transâ€"Canada nighâ€" way. It was a feeder. and as such was a provincial matter solely. The Assoâ€" ciated Boards were ready to endorse it "A Transâ€"Canada motor expedition is planned for next year by two Hamilton citizens, E. Wharten Shaw and V. E. Steers, who hope the expedition will asâ€" sist in promoting immediate construcâ€" tion of the Transâ€"Canada highway as na‘ional undertaking of the firss imâ€" portance. From Sydney, N.S., to A!â€" berni, on Vancouver Island, clear across the continent, is the aim of the expediâ€" tion which expects to take about seven months, from April 15 to the end oi Novembesr. "Public meetings will be organized in the larger towns through which the exâ€" pedition will pass, in order to give all interested parties an opportunity to exâ€" press their views on the Transâ€"Canada highway. The coâ€"cperation of mots clubs and public bodies is hopsd for by the sponsors of the trip, with the aim of concentrating the public demand for a national highway. "The main hazards of the expedition, the roadless sections of Northern and Northwestern Ontario, have been careâ€" fully examined and detailed plans have "On reaching the end of the road the tractor will be dropped and in its place a certain amount of gasoline will be carried although this will not be much as supplies will be placed along the railroad. The tractor will lead the expedition and will tow the truck and trailer whenever necessary. When unâ€" fordable water is encountered the ponâ€" toon tanks will be assembled, the side and fioor boards of the trailer being deâ€" signed to form when assembled with the tanks, a raft of a substanial naâ€" ture capable of carrying the heaviest unit of the expedition, namely the tracâ€" or. Three trips must be made over sach water crossing, the truck, trailer, and tractor being taken over separateâ€" "The total railway mileage over the roadless section is 519 miles. It is assumed that the expedition will have to cover a total distance of 600 miles in traversing these sections. sible speed to Hearst so as to be ready to start just as socn as the conditions at that point allow. There is no single obstacle which is insurmountable. The route is reasonâ€" ably easy for the first 200 miles, there being many places where 10 miles or 15 per day will be accomplished. The chisef? delay will be caused by the numâ€" erous streams which must be crossed. The first really bad section, starts at Bearamore about 250 miles from Hearst and continues to Hydro about 40 miles. This is rocky country with numerous lakes, and it will be necessary ‘to make many detours away from the railroad. The possibility of utilising the lakes to get through some of these places is the cnly thing that makes success possibie. HUNDRED AND NINETYâ€"THREE REGISTER AT NORTH BAY "The expedition‘s equipment will inâ€" clude a one and a half ton truck, one semiâ€"trailer, a canoe with outboard motors, tractor and a set of pontoons. "It is planned to start from Sydney, NS., as carly as the road conditions allow, which should be early in April, and the expedition will make all posâ€" "On the west of Port Arthur the route does not offer any serious. difficulties until Vermilion Bay is reached. But from there to Kenora which is 56 miles is the worst part of the whole trip. This is again rocky country, and again the passige of several lakes is the only solution. When travelling on the road the tractor and all the miscellaneous equipment and the members of the exâ€" pedition will be carried on the trailer, and a distance of at least 200 miles a day can be made with ease. new office which is in the city enginesr‘s dopartment. Of the 193 men registerâ€" ing one stated that he had 12 dependâ€" ents and six cthers had 11 dependents. There were six who had teon dependents and many others had seven, eight or nine depending on them. Only a very small percentage of the applicants were returned msn, there being less than 29 all told under this heading. A numss: of single men also registered but they were not included in the number quotâ€" | c "It was originally intended to take the expedition on a more or less straight line through the Northern bush. This idea was quickly abandonâ€" ed on looking over the country. It was found that to do this it would be necessary to cut a trail at least 10 feet wide through not less than 500 miles 0o* forest. Success is only possible at reaâ€" sonable expense if the railroad rightâ€" ofâ€"way is utilized as much as possible. This does not involve the use of the actual track but only the cleared rightâ€" ofâ€"way which extends 50 feet on each side of the track. North Bay has opened an office for the registration of all unsinployed. At present nothing is being done for singie men, and the plan is to give singls men work cnly after the marrisd ones are provided for. Up to last week there were 193 married men registered at the new office which is in the city enginesr‘s dopartment. Of the 193 men registerâ€" ing one stated that he had 12 dependâ€" ents and six cthers had 11 dependents.
