THE PROGRESS .01. THE P1IOVINCIAL'
PLAYGROUND—THE TIMBER LIMITS
—A LAND OF LAKES AND STREAMS.
Mr. Thos. 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

When asked as to whether the
lumbermen were not denuding the
land ofall its titllbet he said that
theyawere only taking off the pine
that at the rate they were cutting

before the vrholo of it .was got ower.
