EVINRUDE 



DETACHABLE ROWBOAT AND CANOE MOTOR 



A practical, powerful and reliable 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. 

 Easy to handle and extremely economical to run. Will last a 

 lifetime in ordinary use. 



Very efficient for towing heavy loads. 



Exclusive features of the EVINRUDE motor: Built-in-the- 

 fiywheel Magneto and Automatic Reverse. 



In addition to the 2 H.P. and syi H.P. models offered 

 heretofore, which are of the i -cylinder, 2-cycle type, a new 

 model is being placed on the market. This new model is of the 

 2-cylinder, 4-cycle type and develops fully 4 H.P. It has been 

 especially designed for speed, giving easily from 8 to 9 miles 

 an hour, with an ordinary boat. All the conveniences and 

 safeguards which distinguished the 191 3 models will be found 

 in the new 1916 EVINRUDE Speed Motor.

but I know that more money should 

 be spent in the field than is now 

 spent, and I also know that the av- 

 erage "Public" is not altruistic as a 

 rule, and a small retaining fee would 

 help his forest patriotism, or what- 

 ever you call it, a whole lot. The old 

 fashioned methods of fighting fires 

 in the forests can never be done 

 away with but can be greatly im- 

 proved upon, and there is no reason 

 why better tools cannot be placed in 

 the hands of the men who have to 

 do the fighting. It is a wide field 

 and high time the actual fire fighters 

 should be given better tools to work 

 with. We carry water now, at least 

 we attempt to do so, in pails, tin 

 cans or anything we can grab, but 

 there is mighty little of it reaches 

 the fire. If water can be got at all. 

 it is the best weapon with Avhich to 

 fight fire, and nobody but a fool will 

 argue otherwise. The introduction 

 of mechanical apparatus to aid the 

 fire-fighters, really sounds solid, 

 and is a step in the right direction 

 and there is no reason why it can 

 not be brought to perfection. 



Trails Come First. 

 Trails, however, are the basis of 

 the whole thing, not built in a hap- 

 hazard manner, but built to the very 

 best advantage. For fire-fighting 

 purposes a trail need not lead any- 

 where definite provided it has a 

 strategic value from a fire fighting 

 point of view. In fact trails, out-
