Northern Ontario
For the purposes of this sketch, may be briefly described as that
portion of the Province of Ontario lying north of the southerly
boundary of the Districts of Nipissing and Muskoka.
The tourist entrance to this area —by road from the east —is at
Pembroke, in the Renfrew District (105% miles west of Ottawa,
the Dominion Capital), at which point the Provincial Highway
ends. A very fair earth and gravel road extends in a westerly
direction from Pembroke to Sault Ste. Marie —a distance of 421
miles —passing en route through Petawawa, where the militia camp
is situated, Mattawa. Callander, North Bay, Sudbury, Thessalon,
and many other towns and villages.
The Provincial Highway from the South ends at Severn Bridge —
from which point a good gravel road extends northerly a distance of
130 miles to join the last -described road at Callander, which is
situated on Lake Nipissing about eight miles S.E. of North Bay.
This road carries a heavy traffic into and through the Districts
of Muskoka and Parry Sound.
At many points roads branch off in easterly and westerly
directions which have been constructed and maintained to carry
the traffic into the points of interest in a most interesting section
of the Province.
It is hoped in the near future to have a road northwards from
North Bay into the Districts of Temiskaming and Cochrane (where
the Cobalt silver, Porcupine gold, and many other mining camps
are located). This road is now under construction, but at least one
more season will be required to advance the construction work
to such a stage as to permit automobile traffic, and to gain access
to Cobalt. Before the road is opened advantage will have to be taken
of the facilities afforded by the Ontario Government Railway, over
which cars may be shipped to Cobalt, 103 miles north of North
Bay, from which point earth and gravel roads have been constructed
to serve the needs of this fast developing territory as far north as
Swastika and the Kirkland Lake Gold Camp, and as far west as
the Gowganda Silver Camp.
At Swastika another barrier is encountered, necessitating the
use of the railroad to traverse a distance of seventeen miles.
From Sault Ste. Marie a road runs northerly and westerly in
the direction of Michipicoten on the shore of Lake Superior and
this road is travelable for tourists for a distance of about twenty
miles and is now being extended around Haviland Bay, closely
following the shore line.
This road will provide one of the most scenic routes in the Pro-
vince and its proximity to the United States will undoubtedly attract
many of those who at present use the excellent roads already con-
structed in the State of Michigan.
At the head of the Great Lakes an excellent network of roads
has been provided in each direction from the Twin Cities of Fort
William and Port Arthur, but access to these by the eastern tourist
is only gained by steamboat or rail, but by crossing into the State
of Michigan at Sault Ste. Marie, continuous auto travel may be
maintained by way of Duluth, Minnesota, from which point a good
gravel road carries the traffic to the Twin Cities, crossing the
International Boundary at Pigeon River. By whatever means
the tourists reach this delightful section of Ontario, they will be
abundantly rewarded as there are many points of interest to
delight them.
Another district of Northwestern Ontario only accessible by
rail or United States roads is the Rainy River District, reached
by crossing the international bridge from International Falls,
Minnesota, to Fort Frances, Ontario. From this point an excel-
lent gravel road carries the traffic to Rainy River, a distance of
sixty miles, following closely in many places along the banks of the
Rainy River.
Side Trips on Byways'
Should Not
Be Neglected
O 10 O
0NTARIO is a beautiful Province.
Many of the beauty spots are
located off the main travelled high-
ways. They can be reached by
excellent county and township roads
which are found throughout the Pro-
vince.
a o 0
UNLESS you are in a hurry to reach
some definite objective point, we be-
lieve the enjoyment of any trip can be _
considerably augmented by leaving the
heavily travelled Provincial Highways (shown
by heavy red or blue lines) and making use
to some extent of our excellent County Roads
(shown by lighter red or blue lines).
On County and Township Roads, the
traffic is much lighter and the peaceful quiet
of these byways, the absence of noise, rush
and clamor, is sure to be appreciated.

The Highways of Ontario
The Highways of Ontario have now reached an advanced stage
of improvement. This is true to such an extent that we no longer
have any hesitation in broadcasting the news and inviting motor
tourists to visit Ontario, Canada's Premier Province.
For the past twenty-five years, the Provincial Government
has been interested financially in the improvement of Ontario's
roadways, and the beneficial result of this interest, coupled with
local endeavour is clearly demonstrated from the fact that out of a
total of 67,821 miles in all, 31,162 are improved gravel, 5,025 are
paved.
The first interest was in 1901 when one million dollars was voted
to enable the counties to finance their highways. Only twenty-
five years have passed and during that time County Road systems
have been established in all the organized counties of old Ontario,
Provincial Highways have been taken under the wings of the
Department of Highways, and a greater mileage of surfaced roads
is found in Ontario in proportion to the total road mileage than is
found in any other Province or State on the North American
Continent. To -day good roads, not always paved, but smooth,
safe roads which the motorist can use with comfort, stretch from
one end of the Province to the other and lead to many beautiful
spots where rest and health are found for all who seek.
It is not the purpose of this article to describe in detail Ontario's
roads, but only to advise the motor owner in this Province or the
visitor that Ontario's highways are alluring and attractive and
that the picture just ahead is always worth while.
Perhaps it is not generally known that the Highway from Windsor
to the Quebec border, via London, will all be paved at the end of the
present year and that a person will then be able to travel over 700
miles of pavement without a detour;
That a person can travel -with comparative comfort from Toronto
to Sault Ste. Marie, via North Bay, over an improved road, much of
it paved; that the east shore of Lake Huron has a road leading
from Sarnia to Collingwood, much of it of high-class gravel con.
struction; that Muskoka and Georgian Bay, that the Highlands of
Ontario, that the Kawartha Lakes or the Ottawa Valley are all
connected with roads which are constantly being maintained under
a patrol system.
More than a million and a half motor cars entered Ontario last
year from the United States. This year many more will follow
and we trust that each party, having been courteously treated and
having viewed nature at its best, will be an advertising agency who
will tell of our rushing rivers, our peaceful lakes, our towering pines
and of shady brooks teeming with fish. Our roads will be compara-
tively free from detours, will be patrolled by officers whose business
is to give direction and information to make highway travel safe
and to make preventable accidents impossible.
Hotels, camp sites, summer cottages, farm houses, all have
entered a competition in extending a Welcome and in insuring a
happy holiday. Should you at any time consider touring by motor
through Ontario, the Department of Public Highways, 110 University
Avenue, Toronto, will be only too pleased to send complete informa.
tion covering conditions, best routes from point to" point, etc.,
or to outline a complete tour covering whatever period is desired.
An interesting booklet giving full information respecting road laws'
fish and game regulations, etc., as well as describing the more out-
standing points of interest and summer resorts, will also be gladly
forwarded upon request.

Extract from United States
Tariff Regulations of
Special Interest
to Tourists
Article 355.—Residents of the United States return-
ing from abroad may bring in free of duty:
Articles up to but not exceeding $100 in value
acquired abroad for personal or household use, or
as souvenirs or curios, if not intended for sale or
purchased on commissions for other persons. Such
articles purchased abroad by returning residents
may be admitted free notwithstanding they do not
accompany the passenger.
r Article 356.—Each member of the family is en-
titled to the exemption of $100 for articles pur-
chased abroad of the character described in para-
graph 642 of the Tariff Act of October 3, 1913. When
a husband and wife and minor and dependent
children are travelling together the articles included
within such exemption may be grouped and allow-
ances made without regard to which member they
belong.
Canadian Customs and Licenses
For a period of one month a motorist who is a resident of the
United States may bring his car into Canada for touring purposes
only and return to the United States either by the port of entry or
by any other port, without having to file a bond with the Canadian
Customs officials. All that is required is that he fill out at the
Customs Office on the border on entering Canada, a form in which
particulars are given respecting his car. This form is made out in
duplicate, a copy being retained by the Customs officer, and one
by the motorist, which is to be surrendered to the Customs officer
at the port of exit on leaving Canada.
The motorist should carry with him the automobile registration
card identifying his car, as this must be displayed on demand of the
Customs officials.
If the tourist intends to keep his car in Canada for longer than
one month, it will be necessary for him to provide a bond. Under
this bond he may keep his car in Canada, and use it for touring
purposes only, for a period up to six months in one year, but at the
expiration of -this -time no extension or renewal will be permitted.
U.S. Customs and Licenses
For a stay of not more than ninety days in the United States,
a bond is not required of a non-resident motor tourist. A letter
from the U.S. Consul identifying the owner of the car and the make
of the machine will be accepted as a passport. At Lewiston, Niagara
Falls and Buffalo, a card of membership in the Ontario Motor League
will be accepted in place of this Consular letter.
In no case should a Canadian tourist leave Canada with a car
not of Canadian manufacture without securing a tourist's permit
from the Canadian Customs officer at the boundary. In some cases
wherethishas been neglectedfull dutyhashad tobepaid on the return
of the car into Canada. The motorist should carry with him the
automobile registration card identifying his car, as this must be
displayed on demand of the Customs officials.
The United States Customs regulations provide that automobiles
of foreign manufacture imported into the country for touring pur-
poses, provided such owners are non-residents of the United States,
are entitled to free entry, under bond, for a stay of six months.
The tourist is required to furnish a bond for double the estimated
duty and a Consular invoice, including a declaration, sworn to before
a United States Consul, that the automobile is being brought over
for touring purposes only.
