From the foregoing the observing ma
at once sees the progress this count
is making. It iw said and held by
We beet speakers that a wonderful f
Lure lies before this fair land, a
poets slog of the time when Caned
ehall rival her United State+ multi
in population and'wealtb.
But itis declared that like all new
countries Canada has one drawback
and that is her roads. Soria of them
might properly be .called "LWo-flfy"
roads. The government haw reallted
the inportan.'e of Looking foto this
fustier and, as stated before, a Good
Road( Comwissioo will endeavor to
make the t.hroughfar•es throughout
the province of Ontario like the old
Roman roads which have to some ex-
tent made England famous. Surely
any person can see the truth of thew
words and how the American Head

closed a deal with the International
Harvester Company for *31 order for
hotween 40 and 50 complete road-tuak-

to approximately $100,000. When Mr.
Moore took the order he knew the, he
