EEPOET OF THE No. 3 



The Algoma Central is also building its railway extending north from the 

 junction with the Canadian Pacific at Hobon to the junction with the National 

 Transcontinental at Hearst, and an additional staff of fire rangers will have to 

 be placed on these lines during the coming summer — probably an additional 200 

 men. 



The expenditure on account of fire ranging in the Province has been a large 

 one, but the results have justified the expenditure. 



Culler's Examinations. 



Culler's Examinations were held during the year at North Bay, Kenora, 

 Fort Frances and Port Arthur. Forty-seven candidates were successful at these 

 examinations and were granted certificates authorizing them to act as cullers. 



(For list of cullers see Appendix No. 46, page 103.)
