While there he learned • that Paul Smith, the celebrated hotel man of the Adirondack Mountains, has intitnated that he wilt erect a hotel there if circumstances are fav- orable, The park abounds with game of all kinds, and the park game wardens have been doing good work in keeping oft polrtchers.

Southworth, Clerk of Forestry, .Crown Lands :Department, returned to theecity yesterday having spent about a week's tirne in the Algonquin Governnlent'Park, The •only comfortable: way,; of reaehi lig the park is over the - tttawa, Arra prior & Parry Sound/Railway, and it was this route that gr. Southworth took. Ile said ,to a Galobe repo:oter last evening that from a tourist's :point of view it was `almost una.p- •proitchable. The railroad for its greater length, ran aloTrg the banks of rivers pr skirted the shores of lakes. The Madawaska River is spanned no less• than eight times. The timber there, of course, engaged the e•reater part of Mr. Southworch's attention. Although ' forest fires have occurred this season in close visirtity to. . -the park, the timber limits within the ,boundaries of the park have escaped alined untouch- ed. Pine of the best quhlity grows there it) great quantities.; Nearly all the timber out there is 'exported in deals to Great Britain. One saw milt is in -the course of erection, which will have a daily capacity of 60,000 feet, and be understood .that its total output for the season had been contraetea for. t "One living in the city," said Mr. Southworth, "has no idea of the niag-" riitude of the park. 'Down here you naturally associate a. park, with flower beds, gravel walks and exten- sive lawns and shade trees, but the Algonquin Park is. a different thing. Some 42 miles wide by 46 miles long, it is one immense tract of forest land,., dotted with lakes, which eonneeted by ri1ere end streams, provide the only 'Deana of travel.
