A 1` R� 2 -__ To Duluth 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. >CItRANL 4 90 tJI CS Nui< i riLLWN VN 11-�i<1v SCALE- - 16 M i les to 1 Inch.

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. S. L. SQUIRE DeptaY Minister 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.
