THE SUMMER TOURIST TRADE.
In the sketch of the C. P. It.'s con-
struction program, a p iagraph from
which relating to,theG h-U.alerich
line we published last week is me state-
ment which deserves more t u pass-
ing notice. Apart from the grain and
other through traffic which the new
line will handle. "it will nisei wake
Goderich a favorite. suuutier resort. on
account of the new fast service to snit
from Torun to."
The C. P. it., of course. did out dis-
cover Goderich, and this town has
leen a favorite s11nuler rest ut for It
good many years : nevertheless the
C. P. H. connection may 1w exleelel
to bring us a considerable additional
summer trade if we make proper pro-
vision for it. Inded, with such facil-
ities for rapid and easy conanlunica-
tion, with Detroit. Toronto, Buffalo
and other cities as Galerich will have,
this town might soon he placed in the
very front tank of the most popular
tourist resorts in Ontario.
The question is,"Are we going to do
anything to provide for the tourist
trade that might tw attlectell to this
town ? We have the prettiest town
in Canada : we have a delightful sum-
mer climate --hut other things ate
needed. It is not aquestion of provid-
ing accommodation for the 'nuhnlwr
that have usually tonic to spend the
summer with us : but of preparing to
accommodate the h larger trade
that might easily be brought hen• if a
systematic, energetic effort were grade
\to encourage this business. Half -
'hearted efforts have leen mauls in the
pike., but if we are to take advantage
of 'the Opportunities that now offer a
definite plan to attract and retain the
summer tourist trade should be de-
cided upon and pursued in an intelli•
gent and persistent tnanne•r. it is a
matter which the Board of Trade

Such strong oppoieit' has been
