Russell Sproat Describes North-

Plenty of Fishing
Editor The Seaforth News, --From
North Bay to White Bear Camp.
Leaving North Bay on the Ferguson
Highway No, 11, through 62 miles of
forest reserve, you find a wide level
gravel highway which is very good.
I think three cars could travel side
by side the whole distance, with its
curves and little lakes. It is a won-
derful drive when you consider a
few short years ago it was just a
crooked trail. Arriving at the village
of Temagami at the head of Temag-
ami Lakes.you find two hotels. three
cabin and lodge sites. The Amech
Lodge, a credit to any place with its
screened cabins, dining hall, shower
baths, etc., also the Hutchings White
Top Cabins, and the Kenmar Cabins
of Mr. and Mrs. Guppy, where the
charge is very reasonable,
The Provincial Forestry Branch,
which is a very important brancl
here controlling all forest lands wi
their fire fighting equipment, sea-
plane, boats and launches, towers
etc. The Tentaganri Lakes district is
covered thickly in places with thic
wooded forests of white and red
pines from which thousands of logs
are cut in both fall and winter and
towed down the lakes and trans-
ported from nearest points by trucks
to two large saw mills near the vil-
lage. The deer, moose, wolves,
bears, porcupine, beaver, mink and
weasel are plentiful in these forests.
A lot of the natives make their liv-
ing in the wintertime by trapping,
etc. A beaver skin is worth fifty
dollars. Each person is allowed to
trap ten beavers: Of course there is
also a lot of work cutting logs, etc.
Might mention Temagami is on the
Trans -Canada Highway, I have talk-
ed to several people who were mot-
oring to Western Canada and Van-
couver. The T. & N.O. railway runs
through and it is a very busy line
with its long passenger trains and
freight trains passing almost contin-
uously, all night service at depot.
Leaving Temagami, at Temagami
clock you will find a large steamer
with a carrying capacity of 225
people. It is sitting there in the
water waiting
for the cease fire and
the war is ended, also the gasoline
rationing; 'But there are plenty of
launches- 35 to 50 ft. in length to
transport the people. The launches
are the Rose Marie, Ojibway, Grey
Owl, Apnea, Sea Lion, Jerry, Judy
and Hain, and a large boat, the Iona.
Most of these boats go out on the
trip every clay and have sent as many
as two hundred on one trip and
1,000 people in the first week of
July. Also take up tons and tons of
food, gasoline, lumber and express,
mail every day, 'over a seventy-five
mile trip all by boat as there are no
roads at all to the different camps
on the lakes. The boats are all
owned and operated by J. R, Sproat,
a Seaforth boy. -
ART FRAISER KILLED
IN FRANCE
Arthur Fra.iser, eldest son of Mr.

according to official word received on
Wednesday. He had been overseas

HURON COUNTY DROPS
TRAFFIC OFFICER
The police committee. of Huron
County Council met Tuesday night at
Goderich and passed the following
notion: "That the position of traffic
officer be abolished and that Norman
Lever, who has held the position
since 1921, be given one month's pay
in lieu of the notice, the abolition to
take place immediately` and the
county clerk be authorized to ask for
applications for a fourth county con-
stable to be stationed at Blyth, each
county constable to look after the
traffic in his own area." The motion
was carried unanimously by the com-
mittee, composed of: Reeve Harold
Moffatt of Tur•nberry, chairman; Geo.
Armstrong of Hay; W. J. Baker; of
Goderich; and Warden Fred Watson
of Stanley. The three county con-
n
t' stables are: John Ferguson of Exe-
ter Helmer Snell of Seaforth and
Charles Salter of Wiuglram.
There are thousands of Islands on
Temagami Lakes of different sizes
from half acne up, and can be
bought at a very reasonable sum
from the Government. The lake, os•
chain of lakes are full of fish. The
water is very deep in most places,
running to a depth of 800 to 1,000
feet. You will get lake trout, pick-
erel, black bass. Only a couple of
days ago a thirty-two pound trout
was caught near where we are stay-
ing at a lodge eighteen miles up the
lake, In fact, I .have been getting a
few myself and if you had dropped
in today Mrs. Sproat would have had
a black bass dinner for you. By the
way, we are in charge here as we
have a phone to contact the boasts of
the boat company and give them or-
ders if any special trips are to be
made back up the lakes.
Leaving here, you come to the
different camps, also Bear Island,
the Hudson Bay Post. a general
store and Indian village, hotel, etc.
You can get most everything you
need at this store. Then there is
Temagami Lodge, Oganta Camp, Fri-
day's Hotel, Chemo Camp, Wabi-
Ion, Wabi and Kee Wat-in boys and
girls camp, and they are all filled til
after the holidays. The ;slides take
the boys out on canoe trips, sort of
sightseeing trips, will be away for
days, and pitch tents in bush over
night. All children's camps have
nurses and doctor. - •
