EVINRUDE 



DETACHABLE ROWBOAT AND CANOE MOTOR 



A practical, powerful, reliable, two-cycle gasoline 

 motor that can be attached to any row-boat in less 

 than a minute; may also be attached to canoes, duck 

 boats and all manner of small craft. 



Very efficient for towing heavy loads. 



All motors are equipped with reversible, high ten- 

 sion magneto and Maxim Silencer. 



Drive a rowboat up to 8 miles and a canoe up to 

 12 miles an hour. 



Our 1915 models embrace all the unequalled fea- 

 tures of the 1914 machines, plus the new and ex- 

 clusive Evinrude Automatic Reverse which adds 100 

 per cent, flexibility and enables Evinrude equipped 

 craft to manoeuvre in a marvelous fashion. 

 Nearly 40,000 in use.

and 3y2 H. 



The announcement has been made 

 by Hon. Frank Cochrane. Minister of 

 Raihvays and Canals, that measures 

 for the protection from forest fires, 

 similar to those required on private 

 hues, are to be taken on Government 

 Raihvays. On the National Trans- 

 continental a tank car for fire-fighting 

 purpose has been equipped and will be 

 stationed at some convenient point be- 

 tween Edmundston and Quebec. This 

 car has a capacity of ten thousand 

 gallons and is equipped with hose to 

 reach a fire five hundred feet from the 

 track. The question of placing two 

 similar cars at convenient points be- 

 tween the City of Quebec and the 

 Ontario boundary is under considera- 

 tion. Special fire patrols will also be 

 necessary, and the details are being 

 considered. 



Special tank cars for fire fighting 

 purposes constitute efficient means of 

 conserving forest resources along rail- 

 way lines. The Canadian Pacific 

 Railway has two such cars stationed 



at Brownville Junction, Maine, where 

 serious fires have previously occurred 

 The Grand Trunk Railway also has 

 equipped a tank car during the present 

 season placing it at Algonquin Park 

 Station, to be used in extinguishing 

 fires along the railway line between 

 Ottawa and Depot Harbor, especial 

 attention being given to that portion 

 of the line within Algonquin Park. 



We have no wish to see any person 

 punished for something he did not, in 

 point of fact, intend, but the time 

 seems to have come when those charg- 

 ed with the enforcement of the law 

 will be culpable if they do not see to it 

 that some person, who is responsible 

 for fires through negligence, is put 

 upon trial and, if guilty, made to ans- 

 wer for his negligence in some approp- 

 riate way. Such persons are liable not 

 only to punishment, but also to ac- 

 tions for damages by persons damni- 

 fied by their negligence. — (Victoria 

 Colonist.)
