A ,letter to the Chairman, from the
Clerk of Ashfield, asking that some
resurfacing be put on concessions 4

Chairman.
County Engineer.
After an unusually severe spring
as affecting the roads, I am pleased
to report that most of the County
Highways are in as good condition as
can be expected. It is not possible
to maintain the roads as they exist
at present in suit a condition that
they will not became rutted and
muddy during a season in the spring,
but considering that this season pre-
vails for only a few weeks each
year, and that comparatively little
traffic uses the roads et that time,
the extra cost of constructing a road
that will withstand all conditions of
weather and temperature is not as
yet felt to be justified. An effort is
made, 'however, to :have 'all roads
trimmed and planed so that they are
in 8 smooth condition for the remain-
der of the year, when the traffic is
heavy and a smooth read is demand-
ed.
It is found that our roads construct-
ed of crushed gravel ‘are much more
efficient and withstand the wear of
traffic and the effects of the elements
niece better than ordinary gravels.
This is due to the interlocking tend-
ency of the angular particles of
which the crushed material is com-
posed, to•gcther with the excellent
binding effect secured by the stone

muddy surface is not :produced dur-
ing wet weather as is the case when
the bonding material contains an ex-
cess of clay- Considering further
that the surface of the crushed gravel
road is composed of such material
as may be dragged smooth, the con-
jobin made. elintion is reached that such roads

The wealth of that vast stretch of country in Northern Ontario. reaching over 750 miles from the boundary of the
Province of Quebec on thr east, to Manitoba on the west, and north from the Great Lakes to the pathless regions of James
Bay, is not confined to its minerals, its timber or its ,lay lands,
This country has matchless stretches, well worded and watered by chains of charming lakes and rivers, where game
fish are abundant and where the deer, the moose, and Nark hear freely roam. Civilization is gradually pushing the
frontier bath, and in the process creating new summer resorts farther and farther from the active centres of commerce,
where the tourist breaks his journey for a few days on his "Across Canada" tour, and the holiday seeker spends his
vacation. Thus the country capitalizes its scenery and sells it to the tourist.
Minaki, which derives its name from the Indian (Mee -Naw -Kee), meaning "Beautiful Country." Leone of the beauty

miles east of Winnipeg, on the Winnipeg River, one of the great rivers of the North that drains the Lake of the Woods
chain of waterways into lake Winnipeg.
Minaki inn, a modern summer .hotel, is located in a beautiful park overlooking Sand Bay, and daring the pest fes
years many summer homes and clubs have been built in the vicinity, making a large summer colony,
Minaki is historic ground, as it was by wpy of Winnipeg River that Wolseley made his say to wasters Caesar
