1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 65 



Patten or Woman Eiver flowing through Township of Adair is a stream 

 of considerable size, has its source in Province of .Quebec and flows through Joe 

 Lake near south-east corner of Adair Township, thence in a north-westerly direc- 

 tion crossing the north boundary of that township about one mile east of the 

 north-west corner, where it is between three and four chains wide, but we did 

 not use it as a canoe route. From Joe Lake there are two portages south to the 

 Okikodasik Eiver. The one crossing the south boundary of Adair near the five 

 mile post is the shorter and is used by the Indians in high water, this portage 

 is very wet and swampy; the other is the older and longer portage and crosses 

 a high granite ridge and strikes the river about two miles lower down. The 

 Okikodasik Eiver is navigable by canoes from both of these portages to La Eeine 

 Station on the Canadian National Eailway, there being five or six portages 

 varying from five chains to thirty-five chains in length. 



There are no water powers capable of development. 



Game. 



Game was very scarce, only a few moose being seen during the season, and 

 only occasionally evidence of beaver noticed. 



Generally speaking, the Townships of Findlay, Henley and Pliny appear 

 to be suitable for agricultural purposes, with a fair amount of timber suitable 

 for pulpwood. I do not consider the Townships of Scapa, Abbotsford or Adair 

 suitable for agricultural purposes, but there is considerable timber of pulpwood 

 size throughout these townships, but the streams practically all flow north. 



Accompanying this report are a plan and field notes of the entire survey, with 

 accounts in triplicate, and the customary affidavits. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



YouT obedient servant, 



(Sgd.) Herbert J. Beatty, 



Ontario Land Surve3-ov. 



The Jlonourable, the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, 

 Toronto, Ont.
