In aooordanoe with conversation with Yr. Hill thie morning, will you plea8e have Mr. w. R. Smith go with Mr. Tip O'Neill to eee the Ko~on bishop at Card.ton about our desire to haTe a permit issued 80 that we IDaJ build and operate a. tap room at the 'Ifaterton Park Hotel. aame to De located in a building separate and entirelJ detaohed trom the hotel? I enclose oOPY ot report made bl Mr. A. B. Hogg to Mr. Doretl April 19, trom whioh IOU w1l1 .ee that the r.ommiee1oner is in tavor ot grant­ing the applioation and the propert, holdere 1n the Park voted tour to one in tavor ot it, but apparently the Car4aton people mal be oppoeed to the license.

The tavorable pOints which ehould be broUght to 'he attention ot the Kormon b1shop are these:

1. The Great ~orthern's improvement 1n Yater­ton Park 1s one which is looked upon with great favor bl the Canadian Government authorities and trom the stand­point or the Dominion and the JrOvinoe ot Alberta 1t 18 moat de8irable to have a tine tour1 t hotel operated at ' aterton Lake beoause it will bring many travelers into and through Canada who otherwise would not oome.

2. A .ell re6ulated beer room, which would be under our control, we believe would be muoh better than takins the chanae ot our tourists depending on bootleg,.ra tor 11legal spirits ot yariOU8 80rts whiah we oould not a8 readil1 regulate as we oould a beer room and we belieTe bootlegser. will find no field to operate in around our hotel.

3. !he people 11vins in the Park have Toted tour to one in taTor of the propo8ition that the Great Dorthern oonduot the tap room and &. the Park is remoTed thirty mile. or .ore trom Card.ton, it could not arteat Card.ton adTerselJ, but the abaenoe of bootles.era Who

would nee the tra11 through Cardston would be qu1te an advantageous th1ng. .

10 d~bt Mr. Smith and Mr. 0' Ba111 are more fam1liar w1th proper arguments to ua. than I am, but the above are Jotted down a8 obv10us reasons tor the Oardaton people not opposing UI.

- a handsome watch.

IN a fine watch, accuracy is the prime requi-site; it is the supreme achievement of the

watchmaker's art. It is the outstanding qual­ity of the Hamilton, the quality which has won for it the name-"The Watch of Rail­road Accuracy." It is, in fact, so accurate that it is the choice of most of the men who run America's fastest trains. And in a watch there can !Je no substitute for accuracy.

The Hamilton has an inherent dependa­bility. Year after year, it gives reliable service. Each part is fashioned to the minutest preci­sion. There is exactitude and perfection of finish-there are weeks of skillful and patient testing. Almost a year is required to make a Hamilton, so carefUlly is it made and adjusted.

STRIKING RECORD SET BY PULP AND

PAPER INDUSTRY CANADA LEADS WORLD IN

NEWSPRINT PRODUCTION

Growth of Industry One of the Outstanding Features of Our National Progress

That Canada has, within a relatively short space of time, taken her place among the wealthier nations of the world is the resul t of her good fortune in t he possession of vast natural re­sources and the enterprise and energy of her people in developing them .

The pulp and paper industry has been one of the prime factors in the achieve­men't and in this direction Canada made t he most surprising record in her history during the :!"ear just ruo ed. For theo first time sbe delini,tely took the lead of the nations of the world in the produc­tion of newsprint. The production of this commodity in the Dominion for 1926 has been estimated at 1,881,737 tons and on this basis exceeded, by 24 per cent, the figu re for 1925. Canadian pro­duction also exceeded that of the United States (previously in the lead) by about 195,000 tons of newsprint. During th year, seven teen new newsprint units were pu t in tQ operation; of these thi rteen were jnstall ed in Quebec, one in Ontario, two in Bri tish Co'iumbia , and one in M nitoba. In the latter province the timlber is administered by the Depart­ment of the Interior,and the contract entered in to between the operating com­pany and the Government constitutes the most modern pulpwood sale on the continent, aiming, as it does, at a per­petual supply of pU!lpwood for the mill, by application OJ rational, rather than exhaustive, methods of forest manage­mellit.

Canada's newsprint mills started . the present year 0 9Z7) with a ra ed capacity of 7,350 tons per day as compared with 5,700 tons per day in 1926, in which year they produced over one third of the world's new print. If present plans are realized the capacity will be increased a further 1,200 tons in 1927.

In spite of the great expansion in newsprint production , th e markets in the United Stat e, Great Britain, Australia, and other countries have been able to absorb the increase and the Canadian mills have been able to operate close to capacity. It may be pointed out that most of the pulp and paper mills in Canada are of modern construction and their proximity to pulpwood supplies and power places them in an advantageous position.

MOTOR TOURISTS· WILL THRONG

CANADA THIS YEAR EACH PROVINCE HAS ITS

SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS

Good Roads and Ideal Climate Increase Pleasure of Pilgrims to City and

Wilderness

There is no doubt thlllt the coming onths of 1927 will be the greatest

eason for motor touring, as regards poth citizens and visitors, that Canada has yet known. Many causes are contri­buting to this resuht, the two chief being he spread of the information at home nd abroad that our main highways are

not surpassE'd by any on the continent, a.nd the realization by our neighbors to

mate, so that in summer they may escape from the heat, the congested big w ,, ~ and the famjIiar fieilds to the com e coolness, tJhe uncrowded ways, Jld the new and striking scenes in city, count ry, and virgin wilderness in the Dominion.

The other causes or" this increased in­terest in touring in Ca"nada are so num­erous and spring from so lIIllny different flOUl'Ces in every ,province as to defy t he attempt to catalogue them, but perhapd the most important, so far as visitors are concerned , is the change in Domin­ion Cu tOtIIl . R egula tions which extends the tim e Uni ted States motor tourists may remain in Cana.da, without the de­posit of cash or bonds, from thirty days to ninety days. 'Dhe various provinces are more actively engaged fuan ever be­fore in improving motoring conditions. Most of them have bureaux to deal with the subject, and tourists entering 0. pro­vince, either from another province or from outSde of Canada, will find th!IJt they are able to obtain bunting and fishing p rivileges by applying ,to the provlnclal game offi cers, and . mplyillfS-

with the game laws. On the physical side the cilanges in

th e motor touring situabion in the pa t th irty-six months have been enorm­ous. This year shows a great advance over 1926, a nd those who have nQt been over the roads in anyone of our pro­vinces for three years wil.! find a pradic­ally new situation. Though there is as yet no transcontinental motor road on Canadian soil tlhe highWQy system in every pr·ovince has been extended and improved until, with the building of a few links, the chain will stretch from Atil antic to PalCific. These modern roads have brought more traffic with the result tha t facilibies have kept pace with the

DISCOVER .TRUE SOURCE OF THE DUBAWNT RIVER

Officers of Topographical Survey Correct ISO-Year Old Encr in Hearne's Map

One of the most interesting of the early explorations across northern Can­ada was that made in 1771-2 by Samuel Hearne, who travell ed from FO!'lt Churvhill on Hudson bay rto the Arctic ocean a t the mouth of t he Coppermine, and returned by a more so ut'herJy route through Great Slave lake . H e aCCOlll­panied a band of I ndians in t heir most erratic wanderings and, t hough -without instruments, he kept a record of his courses, and on his return he produced a map . This was accepted a few years later and was incol,])ora ted in Captain C ook's map of t he world. It has since been repl'Oduced on a ll maps of Canada.

From time 1Jo t ime, dl1l' ing t he course of more recen t explorations in to nort h­ern Canada, features of H earne's map have b een identified and adj ustments made. One of his pivotal points, passed on both the outg.oing and return jour­neys, was called 7'helew aza Yeth or Little Fish Bill lake. It lies in t he coun­try north of lake At habaska, and 7'he­lew aza river which drains it has been accepted on >a ll maps since tha t of Cap­tain Cook as the SOl1l'ce of Thelon river. EX'plomtory surveys made into this region during 1926 by Mr. G. H . Blan­chet, D.L.S. of the T opographical Sur­vey , D epartment of the Interior, led to t he rediscovery of H earne's 7'helew aza, determIned its true course, and corrected a geographical error of 150 years stand­ing by proving it to be the headwa ters , or T hcJ.on ri·.' ~~ . By

Lhis explora ion several hundred miles wcre taken from the length of Thelon ri v r and HO miles of new water added to t he Dubawll t , and the TaHson-Tazin River system was emended by the dis­rovery of a new tribu tary dra ining the country 1Jo ;he northeast of T azin lake. This is the Edza zeth Thelcho or "Skin of an Animal" river of the I ndians and is now call ea A.bitau river.

The jouney en-ta il ed about 800 miles of canoe ;raveL Eighty-six rllipids were encomtered and the portaging amounted to about 75 mil es alii owing for the rcpea ted trips at each carrying place. The genera l route followed as far as the Arctic-Huds m Bay divide was su~gested by reference to several Indian maps. Atha,haska 'ake was left b y a portage route from Black bay to Tazin lake and Abitau river was ascended to its source on a grea t dome-shaped area which here ~orms ,the Arctic-Hudson Bay height of land . The parting of the waters on this Bat-topped divide is in­ten ely intere ting. Slight accidents of topogmphy turn the sma~ l streams t his way and tha t and many such rivUlets, uniting, produce strea,ms which fall away down the slopes QIl.. each side with ever increasing volume.

The divide was crossed by following a number of small lakes and ponds where the streams were too Ell·all for the canoe. Finally , as the Hudson Bay slope was descended, a river large enough for canoe navigation was reached to the north­oost and this was la ter found to corre­spond to Hearne's Thelew aza. The country here falls in long gentle slopes with only a few sca ttered hills breaking its regularity. Short, rapid stretches of river al ternate with lakes of great irre­gularity through which it was difficult to find a course.

Along with the record output and ex­port of newsprint, was an increased ex­port of wood pulp' (groundwood, sulphit e fi nd sulphate) . The official production figures for 1926 are not yet avail3JbJe but the increased export figures are in­di cat ive of in-creased production and a greater demand for Canadian pulp in foreign markets. The 'Production of book and wl;a,pping papers is on a more even keel since the products meet more par­t icuiarly the demand of the home mar­ket , but even here the exports show in­creases in most cases.

In the manufacture of artificial silk (rayon) from wood pulp Canada is pro­gressing rapidly, and Canadian mills now upply , it is said, 50 per cent of the world 's requirements of bleached sulphite for this purpose. It is e,.pected that in the neal' future, several large plants for th e manufacture of ray-on will be est8lb­lished in Canada .

The pulp and paper industry in this country is repre ented by a -capital in­vestment of over five hundred million dollars : it gives direct employment to over 28.000 workers-to whom :1.bout $39,000,000 per year is paid in wages and salaries-in the miNs alone, disregarding those engaged in woods operations ; and in 1926 th e exports, valued a t $173,491,-635, represented 17 per cent of the total export trade.

These facts, strong though they be, are still furth er emphasized if the in­dustry is regarded from the angle of value added to the raw material in the proce ~ of manufacture, or the net value of production. T his net value of produ ction is admitted to be one of the best indi ca tions of the nationa,l va lue of a manufacturing industry and in th e case of pulp and paper the net value is 60 per cent of the gross value, and very much greater, in proportion, than in any other important manuf[l;Cturing industry in Canada.

TOURIST TRAVEL TO YUKON TERRITORY

Steamers and Railway Carry Thousands of Visitors- Striking Scenery-

Big Game

A striking feature of Canadi·an pro­gress in the last ten years has been t he development of tourist tr,avel to and thl'oug'h Yukon territory. This is not to be wondered a t cons idering, on the one hand, how much there is to be seen and enjoyed on such a tni,p and on Vhe other, tha t routes which in tJhe famous goicl rush of 1898 were_ conquered onlly by H erculean la!bours and a t t he risk of life and lcimlb, can now be traversed wi;th comfort a nd amid luxurious sur­roundi ngs. White pass, lake LaBarge, Th irty Mile river, Whi te H orse rapids, Miles canyon, F ive Finger rapids and other once t errilble plJ!lJces, where so ma ny men came to g.rief in the old days, or conquered as tby miracle, may now be viewed from a rlri lway t l18.in or from the deck chilli I' of 'a ipiOweJ{ul weIl­appoi nted steamer. The tourist traffic into Yukon t erri tory is now such t ha t an through tID e season rut least one st.eamer per day lands its passengers at Skagway-the coast terminus of the White P[l;SS and Yukon raJil way . Most of these steamers, which a re models of steadiness a nd comfort, belong to tJhe two Caruadia n transcontinental railways. F rom Skagway the tourists go over this railway line to Burnett, Oarcross and White H orse and from these places take steamer for Taku Arm and Attin, fam­ous distriocts in Bri tish Cdlumibia, or go on to Dawson (Yukon) and N-enana (Maska) .

In 1926 over seven thousand tourists visi ted these pla.ces of WbOlJIl over one thousand went down the Yukon to D aw­son. 'Dhese numbel'S are exdusive of the big game hunters who go north in the autumn and who outfit a t Wihite­horse foar the hunting grounds whi·ch from tha t :point 'are ,rellJdhed by launch, motor car or pack train. The th11itJ.Iing scenery of the mountains with the deep canyons, nIshing rivel'S, and snowcapped peaks and the grandeur of the Yukon river, the great highway to the Klon­d)"ke and ·this land of the midnight sun, are the chief a ttractions of the route. Another lure of the trip is the oppor­tunity to see placer minin.g by hydrau­lic and dredging methods conducted on a scale not exceeded anywhere. The tourist is enabled to get a diose view of operations by taking a short run out fwm Dawson by automobile.

. A feature that has tended to· increase the popularity of these routes, resorts and hunting grounds is that, by means ~ wire and wireless, tourists can keep in al most constant touch with their homes and offices in any part o.f the continent, wbil e at the same time enjoying am the advantages a nd the health-giving free­cLam of this great northern playground. AliI transportation .agencies sl1]}ply pal'­tj'cul3!rs aJbout tours, and information regard1ng hunting tr ips may be (Jbtained frOlJIl the Gold Commissioner at Dawson or the T erl'itol1ia l Agent, Wh itehorse, Yukon.

In the year 1925 there were in Can­ada e ighty establishments manufactur­ing wood-pulp and sixty-nine manufac­turing paper. Some of these made both

-products. Forty-five manufactured pulp only, 34 paper only, and the re­maining 35 made both pulp and paper.

For sixLeen years the runs remained smaH and it. was not until artificial planting had 'been resorted to that any a;p.preciab1e improvement was noticed in the sit ll'ati'on. Beoall'se no sockeye were getting wbove H ell 's Gate ,canyon, the ha tchery at Stuart 1ake was closed for a number of years. In 1920 it was re­opened and an experimental d istribu­tion of eggs and fry was made the next year. At tJhe end of the four-year cycle one of the best runs in years was re­ported.

Last year the big shi'pment O'f 15,000,-000 sockeye eggs was made to the upper waters of the Fraser and it is con­fi dently hoped that a continuation of these methods will result in firml y re­estwblshing the Upper Fraser as a great sockeye spawning area.

The north boundary of Alberta is that ,part of the sixtieth parallel of latitude between longitude 1100 and longitude 120 0 west of Greenwich. A portion ot this boundary extending westerly from Slave river to Little Buffalo river, a distance of thirty-six miles, was sur­veyed and marked on the ground by the Topographical Survey, D epartment of the Interior, during tJhe summer of

1925.

'cANOEING ONE OF OUR GREAT SUMMER SPORTS

Ideal Conditions for Its Enjoyment Throughout Canada- A Typical

Trip

Men competent to speak on the sub­j ect declare tha,t the canoe has pro­vided a. distinctive note in Canad ian lit­eI·ature from the time of Champlain to the present day. I ts mention appears in the chansons of the voyageurs and it i the ,theme of m any Q[ our modern po t. J or is this to be wondered at, bince Carua is of all tlhe wonld pre-emin­ently the land of the canoe. The natives of other new countries had can<>es for inland waterways but fo r the most part they were clumsy inefficient affairs which disappeared before rtbe superior water craft of the white man. Not so the birch-bark canoe of the Indian tribes who dwelt in Canada. Their craft was adopted by the white explorers and traders, and to-clay, now tha,t new ma­terials are available, canoes made in Canada, whi<:h are the best in the world, a re modelled on the lines of t he redman's birch-bark, and are each so light as to be readily carried by one man and so seaworthy as to outride storms on our grea,t inland freshwater seas and even on Hudson bay itself .

Never coun try had such a canoe and never canoeist had such a country as Canada. At hundred of railway sta­t ions and steamboat landings the canoe­ist can drop his craH into ·the water and in an hour have penetrated so far into the wilderness that ~~parently no sound more modern t han t bellow of the ...-- ...... ~ ...".. &. ,. r n +" p· 1nnn h AFl ever .brok n 1 s prImeval sth ness.

And CanMa invites her own children and those of other count ries to take these canoe tri ps. All she asks is that tourists kee the game laws and do not burn down the forests. Canada needs the forests in her business-they con­stitute a very important part of her bu iness---and then, no visitor would desire to come back the next year to fi nd a blistered and blackened brUle. 'There are hundreds of canoe routes in all parts of Canada and for the con­venience of intending voyagers the De­partment of the I nterior has prepared maps and detailed directions for a large number of t4ese in all the provinces.

The following is a short description of a tvpical rou~d canoe trip in the Mari­time Provinces. The t rip travel'Ses the b autiful network of lakes in Annapolis and Queen' counties, N()va Scotia-ome of them, I" ke Rossignol and Kejim­

Another portage leads to Kolly lake and a third short portage to Al ma lake (about 9 miles from the starting po int) on th e is­lands of which severa.] guides' romps are localted. From the southwest corner of Alma lake the rou te turns south t o the Medway river through Medway, Dean , and Eel lakes, rand bends 'Southeast­wardly to t he large PonllOok 'lake, 34 mil es from the detrain~ng point. A di rect westerly course is D OW followed and a way is threaded through t he ex­tensive network of la kes between P on­hook hke and beautiful Rossignol lake, only three short portages, of less than haH a mile each, being necessary.

The number of ga therings in Canada thi year wi ll make for increased motor travel in al\! parts.

In tJhe P rairie P rovinces and Brit­ish Colum'bia many gatherings will be attended by mrotoris , while the open­ings of scenic highways to and through national parks and the completion of connecting links in the Rocky moun­ta ins and on the Pacific coast will mean that from sea to sea there will not be a portion of Canada that will not witne'5 grea ter motor tourist activity than ever before.

Wi th the building of a completely equipped and modern hotel rut Waterton Lake park, this charming reservation wilJ at Ilast Ilake its rigihtful place among the most attractive of Canada' national pl aygrounds. As is well known this park lies contiguous to t'he United States Glacier park. Geography has vi rtually made them one playground and the building of a hotel in Canada by the Great Northern Railway Company-an organization which has done much to de­velop Glacier park- and the establish­ment of regular b oat and bus services between the two reserves, must result in greatly increasing the travel to t he Waterton Lakes park .

The inauguration of a through bus ser­vice from Waterton to Banff, thence to Lake Louise and F ield, will not only faci litate t ravel between Water ton Lakes, Rocky Mountains, and Yoho parks but also with the United States Glacier park. In the United States there exists already a highly developed system of highways which touches all the main national parks in the western States, and con­ne<:ting bus lines make it possible for visitors to travel easily from one to the other. The new t ransportation facilities in connection with the Canadian parks will no doubt cause many tourists to ex­tend thei r trips int o Canada and to en­. ioy the wonders of the Canadian Rock­ies in the open-air, open-sky way.

"BEOTHIC" WILL MAKE ANNUAL ARCTIC PATROL

1927 Expedition Will Visit Present Posts and Cruise Westward to Heart

The establishment of a new post "on the sou thern end of Baffin island and a reconnai 'ance survey in the very heart of the Canadian Arctic a rchipelago will be carri ed out during the annual patrol of the Dominion's northern iSland pos­sessi()ns this summer.

The S.S. Beothic, wh.i.ch made last year's patrol, has again been chartered and will saH with uhe expedition from North Sydney, Nova Scotia, a;bout July 15. Besides the usual quota of supplies for t he po ts already established, build­ing ma terials, supplies, and other equip­ment will be taken north for 1Jhe new post to be erocted at Lake Ham ouI' on the southern coast of Baffin iSland. The fi rst point of call on the northward journey will be the Danish port of God­havn, North Greeruand. P ond Inlet , on Baffin isla nd wi ll !be the first of the Canadian posts visited, alter which the expedition will go to Dundas Hral'bour, Dev()n island; Craig HaJ1bour, Ellesmere isJ.and ; Etah, North Greenland ; R ice Strait and Baclle Peninsula, Ellesmere island, in t he order named.

Leaving Ba.che P eninsula the ship will begin the southward journey, touching at Dundas Ha dlOur before the projoctecl cruise up Lancaster sound, Barrow strait, and Melville sound is begun . I<:e and harlbour condiitions along these waters wilq be invesbigated with a view to es­tabliShing a post, at a later date, on Bathurst island, Cornwallis island, or Melville island.
