gone down to Florida, and cars from Fjlorida have visited the North in past summers and will likely do so this year and following years in increasing numâ€" bers. The fact that a great part of the proposed international highway already Ras been constructed and in use simply proves the proposal is not as vistonary as it might appear at first glance to some. In any cags Timmins and other North Land will find the proâ€" position of more than passing interest. Por the present this North Land is probâ€" ably more concerned with the idea of the Transâ€"Canada highway than with ‘highways, but as Canada‘s part of the to the United States system of roads.

Wth a vision of an international highway extending from Timmins gold fields in Nonthern Ontario, in Canada, through the United States, to Miami and Key West, then by ferry to Havana and overland to the western edge of Ginar del Rio, than again by ferry to Yucatan, through Mexico to the Panaâ€" ma Canal, and thence to the southernâ€" most reaches of South America, Col. J. A. Rountree has been in active service of the United States Good Roads Asâ€" sociation for more than two decades. The clipping from The Havana Post sent to The Advance reads as follows:â€" Rountree Envisions Highway Connectâ€" highway is already in use, the call for the special attention of this country is not so great, though it may be said that the project will find a :2arge measure of support here. As an added encourageâ€" ment to the people of: the South who are dreaming of a gravel international highway of immense,. length and inâ€" terest, it may be noted that likely beâ€" fore the southern connecting links are completed the North Land will have extended its Ferguson highway through to James Bay. It is probable that in the course of the next few years the growth of settlement north of Cochrane and the demands of the tourist and other traffic to Moosonee or James Bay will warrant the extending of the Ferâ€" guson highway to the northern sea.
