Appendix No. 41. 

 QuETico Provincial Park, November 2nd, 1921. 



Honourable Sir, — I beg to submit my report for the fiscal year ending 

 October 31st, 1921. 



We have had an average staff of ten rangers during the year whose duty 

 was to patrol, repair and build cabins, cut trails, roads, etc. The rangers work 

 in twos and the cabins are built so that at the end of their respective sections 

 every alternate cabin serves the rangers of two or more sections. 



We have built two cabins this year, one on Windogoostan Lake, near the 

 eastern boundary, and one on Baptism Lake, also on the eastern boundary. 

 The road to Kawene from Eva Lake was very much improved by the blasting 

 of rocks, for which purpose a box of 60 per cent, dynamite was used, but owing 

 to the unseasonable weather, the drainage was not completed this year. A 

 road for fall and spring use was cut around Eva Lake on the west side, a distance 

 of about ten miles to connect with the road from Eva Lake on the one end and 

 with the road from French to Eva Lake on the other. This road is over a very 

 rough country, but will serve its purpose during the opening and closing season 

 of the water and ice routes, and was particularly needed in case of serious sickness 

 or accident. 



I would respectfully draw your attention to the number of tourists who 

 enter the Park from the American side compared with what enters from the 

 Canadian side. Of the angling permits sold, over one-fourth entered from the 

 American side, and of the guides, nine out of thirteen were engaged on the 

 American side. This is owing partly to the'access to the Park from the American 

 side, but principally because the Canadian National Railway through trains 

 were not scheduled to stop at Kawene, the chief point of entrance on this side. 

 The result is that the moneys spent by these tourists is spent with American 

 merchants instead of Canadians, as we would desire. I would respectfully 

 recommend ihat every inducement and convenience be offered to intending 

 tourists to enter the Park from the Canadian side, so that their provisions and 

 outfits might be purchased in Canada, and also that Canadians might be access-
