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 efificient 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.

cure a supply of water for consumption 

 or power, and in this case could obtain 

 possession of several thousand acres of 

 forest land extending from 5 or 6 miles 

 on each side of the Lequille stream which 

 now supplies water to the town. The 

 Forest Protection Act would permit of 

 the appointment of resident sub-rangers 

 in daily touch with the property and 

 which should be the means of elimina- 

 ting the fire risk. Under the supervision 

 of one man this property could be work- 

 ed to paying advantage from the date of 

 purchase. It would give employment to 

 the indigent, particularly in the winter. 

 The town would get its firewood and 

 lumber, etc., at first hand. It should be 

 the direct means if properly looked after 

 of relieving taxation and provide a fu- 

 ture income to the municipality. Other 

 towns in the province are similar to 

 Annapolis in having all the conveniences 

 of a modern city, but held down to the 

 fraction of a cent in the tax rates, and 

 urgently need some other source of 

 revenue, than a direct personal and pro- 

 perty tax.

The Canadian Society of Forest 

 Engineers, with headquarters in Ot- 

 tawa, has been granted a provincial 

 charter. The corporation, which is 

 without share capital, is for the pur- 

 pose of advancing its members in 

 the theory and practice of forestry 

 by the discussion of technical and 

 professional topics, to promote a 

 better mutual acquaintance among 

 Canadian foresters, and to take such 

 steps as may appear to be advisable 

 for the object of promoting in Can- 

 ada the interests of the forestry pro- 

 fession as a whole. The incorpora- 

 tors are Dr. B. E. Fernow, Dean of 

 the Faculty of Forestry of Toronto 

 University, Robt. H. Campbell and
