Mr. James, the Anglican rector, a man widely known and liked throughout the peninsula with a par- ish as big as half .a county in South- ern Ontario, The reverned gentleman does not stand on dignity and has a way with him that wins the respect and regard of the folks on the Penin- sula: We visited at the home of Dr. A.

A couple of miles further on the road takes a sharp turn inland and winds and twists ro- mantically up and down over a series of slopes, known up there as the For- ty Hills. But the highway is in pret- ty good condition all the way to Brinkman's Corners. • The last stage of the journey from McVicar's in to the Tub, a stretch of about 14 miles, is the least enjoyable portion of the trip. It was no doubt this road to which they refer when tell us that the undulations and gyra- tions of the road down from Tober- mory make the hardened fishermen Bruce County and before the coming of the auto the north end of Bruce. county known as the Peninsula, was as inaccessable to most of us as is the help kill a rattlesnake, while in the North Pole.

AT WINGHAM CHAUTAUQUA COMMENCING AUG. . -8th. Mr. Robert Holmes of Toronto, and formerly of Wingham. (Specially contributed for the Wingham Advance -Times.) It is rather surprising -how little is generally known. by the majority of our Canadian people about the grand summer resort region this country possesses in the District of Muskoka. In fact it has oftenbeen said . that residents to the South of us, know and appreciate Muskoka, more than Many Canadians. do. The weather for the past two sea- sons has been so variable, that it has not been very favorable to any sum- mer resorts, but even the weather cannot put much of a damper on the attractions of the Muskoka Lake Re- gion and the grand Highlands of On i tario. Muskoka's three large lakes' are Lake Muskoka, Lake Joseph and Lake Rosseau. It is generally conceded that Lake Joseph Is the finest of the three, and all are studded with beaus nihil .;Shands, mbstly forested - to • the water's 'edge.. There are very many other smaller lakes in this charming Northern land, in fact they are count- less, in number, The Muskolie lakes `empty their waters through what is known as the Muskosh River at Ba- la—where there is a picturesque falls —a very curious thing about the out- let of the lakes is that about four mil- es below Bala, there is another great- er falls and wild rapids, where two great rivers are formed from the one, the Southerly River still known as the Muskosh bttt the Northern one known as the Moon River, both flowing to the Georgian Bay, and strange to say,. though they start from the same Palls: anear Bala, where their waters separ- ate, their mouths are some forty mil- es apart. A large Indian Reservation also divides them on their way; They are both deep and rapid rivers and many diowning fatalities have occurr- ed in them, particularly at the falls and rapids referred to below Bala. On most of the fine Islands and many points on -the main land there are very expensive and magnifioient summer homes, and some of thens ev- en winter homes as well, Many df the most elaborate ones are owned by millionaires from the United States, mostly from New York, Pennsylvan- ia and Ohio and even from Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and the Virgin - specimen of the fine lake trout, • even bass and pickerel are not .by, any means as numerous as they should. and would be were they properly pro- tected from wanton •destruction, and more stringent laws passed adproper-' ly enforced, to Inuit the number to be taken., There is too an appaling scarcity of bird and animal life, where both were at one time in years gone by, so numerous. Even the :Beaver (Can- ada's National Animal) have almost entirely disappeared, only a few fa- milies of them remain and only on the smaller and secluded inland lakes and rivers. Blueberries, raspberries and thim- bleberries' particularly the latter, pro- mise very prolific crops. Automobile roads 'to the Muskoka District have been greatly improved within ' the last two years. Now there is a splendid Highway running North of , Beaverton through Wash- ago and. Severn River, to Gravenhur- st, thence to `Bala on one side and 'Bracebridge, Port Carling, etc., on the other. Thereare also very good roads on both the East and West sides of the Lakes. One of the finest scenic roads is known as •t -be Penin- sular Road that runs between Lakes Joseph and Rosseau. Only a narrow neck of land divides thee two' charm- ing lakes which join their waters, at Port Sandfield and the three lakes meet at Port Carling, which is the great central port of the Muskoka Lakes. The waters of. Lake Joseph are re- markably clear and pure, those' of the blue Lake Rosseau come next, white the waters of the lower and larger Lake Muskoka, have rather .a brown- ish tinge, caused mostly by former ex- tensive lumbering operations•. A fine fleet -of steamers of the Muskoka Navigation Company cover- all overall the principal points on the Lakes. Robert Holmes.
