TIMAGAMI LAKE AFFORDS IDEAL VACATION SITE Ontario Provides Wilderness Playground for Summer Tourists. Do you sometimes feel a yearning for the great outdoors, the •woods, the streams and the lakes? The Province of Ontario is the wilderness playground of today, onetenth of its area is water, thousands of lakes, many of which have never been explored save by Indians and the French Canadian trappers and guides. In about the middle of the Province is located the great Timagami Forest Reserve, one hundred miles in length and ninety miles in width. This primeval reserve comprises 3,750,000 acres of virgin timber. Picturesque Rake The largest of the many lakes'in this reserve is called Timagami (a name taken from the musical Ojibway tongue and, meaning, “deep, clear water.") This lake is thirtyfive miles long and two miles at its greqfest width, octopus in shape, withits great arms and bays reaching out in all directions. Its water and its shore line is actually 3,000 miles in length. Picture this wondrous, sparkling Gem of the Northland (as Timagami is appropriately called) with majestic virgin forests fringing its shores and its bosom bejeweled with 1600 islands, —one more picturesque than the other: it bewilders the mind, mere thoughts fail with which to describe it. What a wonderful' place to camp, and such fishing! It is hard to imagine a more wonderful vacation than could he spent amid such wonders of nature, without discomfort or inconvienee and just overnight from the great city of Toronto. It is also but a few hours’ ride from Cobalt, where one may react) and visit the mines working the greatest silver deposit in the world —truly an experience worth while.

Family Camp Unique. Timagami Island, the largest and most central island in Timagami Rake, embraces in itself 800 acres of timber, the estimated value of which is 12.003,000. On this island is situated Camp Eucaroma, a family camp owned and operated by Robert D. Morgan, a fisherman, big hunter and practical outdoorsman who likes nothing better than to make helpful suggestions to the uninitiate® and those less familiar with the game. Eucaroma, embodying Mr. Morgan’s ideal of a real North Woods camp, is unique in its possessions of modern comffirts while yet retaining that charm or rustic sequestration that is the ideal of dreams. A • magnificent haven of rest and recreation, it welcomes not only the hunter and the fisherman but his family and. fellow vacationist as well. To you and to all those who love nature and who long for the great outdoors —a glad invitation is offered for a vacation spent in wholesome environment and with memories sweet and lasting. RUNS CAFE 40 YEARS Knox Proprietor Estimates Over 4,000,000 Meals Served. D. E; Cannon, manager of the Nickel Plate Restaurant at Knox, Ind., estimates that since the opening of the restaurant forty years ago, when the Nickel Plate Raidroad Was first built, over 4,000,000 meals have been served to hungry tourists. He attributes the success of his business to the fact that at all hours, one is always assured of the best ©f well cooked food. AUTO COST SMALL Only 5 cents of the average wage and income dollar of American workers during 1925 went for motor vehicles, according to estimates made by the National Automobile Dealers’ Association. This is compared to 6 cents which went for pleasure resorts, not including theaters and similar amusements. ENORMOUS GAS WASTE Dr. James F. Norris, president of the American Chemical Society, says that the gasoline waste caused by inefficient motor engines Is a

THOUSANDS TO TRAVEL FAMOUS ROAD

Lincoln Highway Provides Motorists With Coast-to-Coast Lure. Coast to coast will be the lure of thousands of motorists this year, and coast to coast is the offer of perhaps the most famous and most highly improved highway in the country. The Lincoln highway, stretching a distance of 3,140 miles from New York to San Francisco, is one of the most remarkable highway engineering achievements in the history of the United States. From the plains of the East, the road winds along the rolling prairies of the Middle West, across formerly insurpassable desert, over majestic mountains and through forests of tali timber to the land of sunshine and flowers. The motorist forgets even the vastness of this highway project in his amazement at the natural wonders he passes. Cross-Section This memorial road gives the tourist a cross-sectional view of America, revealing all its vastness and splendors. At the same time it recalls to his mind the adventuresome days of the stage coach, of Indian warfare and pioneering.. There was hardly a sign post -to guide the traveler in those days. And many a skeleton told a tragic tale along the hot, dry sands of the western desert. No Dangers Now Now ihere is .as much assurance of comfort and safety in driving over the same trail as there is in your own city. The Lincoln Highway Association, which has sponsored the construction of this route ■since its inception in 1913, has had sign posts and control signs set at convenient intervals along the entire stretch and has spent more than $70,000,000 in the construction and improvement of the highway. Asa result there isn’t a mile that can t be traversed with safety, and there are only a sow stretches that still need some precaution in traveling. Even these are fast being improved, so that it is expected the in a year or two the entire stretch of 3 140 miles- will be in first-class shape. * Os the eleven states the highway crosses, New Jersey, Illinois, Wyoming “and California offer fully -improver doarbeds —a distance of 900 miles. Few Poor Stretches In Pennsylvania, Indiana and Nevada, the highway is near comple? tion and the work of improvement developing so rapidly that there will be little cause for complaint. Ohio has a bad section from Upper Sandusky to Wyandot. Immediate constructions of this road, with federal aid, is expected. Meantime paved detours are available and well marked. lowa and Nebraska are also progressing in road development, although rainy weather would find the tourist in mud in certain territories. In these States, and in Utah, it is suggested that the tourist wait after a rain before venturing along a dirt stretch. . Trip In 20 Days Despite these difficulties, a motorist can make a comfortable trip along the Lincoln Highway in twenty days. The first auto to cross the continent along this general route took forty days. Last year one motourist —in much of a hurry—made it in 102 hours and 45 minutes elapsed time. The best time for driving over the Lincoln Highway is between June and October, with September as the ideal month. But many motorists start early, and even now are beginning the trek to the great West. No extra gasoline or oil need be taken, although it Is advisable to have an extra, can in the car while driving west of Cheyenne for use in case of pmeygepey. At times, in This territory, the driver is , tjijrtafive miles from the nearest service ite kier. • *• •-•••• •-•••{
