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.

NEW STORAGE DAM TO 

 PROTECT ST MAURICE FLOW. 



Work has commenced on the large 

 new storage dam being built by the 

 Quebec Government to control the 

 flow of the St. Maurice River. This 

 dam is forty-four miles from the 

 nearest railroad, the National Trans- 

 continental, and barges and steamers 

 are being provided to carry supplies, 

 cement, etc., to the first rapid, a dis- 

 tance of twenty-eight miles and from 

 that point to the dam site, sixteen 

 miles, a railroad will be built. This 

 dam will be the largest water con- 

 servation scheme in the world and 

 will hold back twice the amount of 

 water stored by the enlarged Asso- 

 uan dam on the Nile. It will be 

 about 2,000 feet long and eighty feet 

 high at the highest point. There are 

 miny large lakes above this dam, 

 one being over thirty miles in length, 

 and the level of all of these lakes will 

 be raised. The timber which will be 

 destroyed is for the most part scrub- 

 by black spruce, balsam, birch and 



poplar and little of it has any com- 

 mercial value. There are no settle- 

 ments of any kind, only one Hudson 

 Bay Post on Lake Obiduan, the 

 country being inhabited by Indians. 

 Tenders are also being asked for a 

 dam to be constructed at the outlet 

 of Lake St. Francis, on the St. Fran- 

 cis River, on the south shore of the 

 St. Lawrence, which serves a num- 

 ber of important industries which 

 have been much hampered by low 

 water in the summer time. 



MORE FINES FOR SETTLERS. 



Continuing their vigorous prose- 

 cutions of Quebec settlers for start- 

 ing dangerous fires in their clearings 

 without a Government permit, the 

 prosecutors acting for the provincial 

 authorities succeeded in convicting 

 six more settlers before Judge Goy- 

 ette at Nominigue on November 4th. 

 By making three months imprison- 

 ment the option to non-payment of 

 heavy fines Quebec is rapidly im- 

 pressing the fact on the public mind
