FISHING TACKLE 
Deal Direct With the Manufacturer 
Security in buying tackle 
comes from the honor of 
the house that builds it. 
We serve a multitude of 
anglers who insist upon 
■‘value received” for the 
money they spend and we 
have no comebacks. Our 
name on a rod or reel sym- 
bolizes the highest achieve- 
ment of this highly developed art. Since 
1867 we have made and sold Tackle. This 
is surely a recommendation in itself.

During the WAR 
our Hatchery received little attention and mo^t 
Sportsmen were thinking of other things than 
fishing; but now we are anticipating a demand : 
for stocking and can offer some splendid fry for 
spring delivery, as well as a limited number of 
larger brook and rainbow trout. Eyed eggs of 
both during the season. Correspondence invited.

THE MEN OF 
TEMAGAMI 
(CONTINUED FRO-M PAGE 215) 
making the trip single handed. In the 
evening by the time I had cooked and 
laid out his supper, made the camp and 
cut his brush for him, it was long after 
dark. I still had my own tent to make 
and I was mighty tired. ‘I want you to 
fix my bawth,’ he says. ‘Heat the water, 
you know, and all that.’ He had one of 
those rubber baths with him. I stared 
at him for a moment. Then I said flat, 
‘You go plump to the devil;’ left him and 
made my bed. Yes, sir, I was mad!” 
“And what do you know about this!” 
added Tiny. “The next morning he was 
fine as silk to me — the rough treatment 
seemed to do him good. 
“Only once again I balked. This same 
gent sprained his ankle on a portage. 
It wasn’t swollen much and he got along 
alright on a clean trail but I guess it 
hurt some going over the boulders. We 
came to another lift-over, short and good 
going. ‘I want you to carry me over 
here,’ he said. ‘Alright,’ I answered. 
‘I’ll take the stuff and the canoe over 
first. You wait for me here.’ I carried 
dunnage and canoe across and then de- 
cided to sit down and wait for him. I 
was blamed tired. He came after a time 
— when he got tired waiting. Say, he 
was mad! ‘Why didn’t you carry me?’ 
he asked. ‘You told me to wait for j’ou 
over there.’ I didn’t answer but started 
down to the canoe. ‘I say,’ he called after 
me. ‘You told me to wait for you.’ 
‘Alright, why didn’t you wait?’ I yelled 
back and went on with the loading. But 
he wasn’t so bad after all, though I 
don’t want any of his fx'iends on my 
hands. He said I had treated him real 
well and gave me fifteen dollars extra.” 
M ost of the guides of Temagami are, 
of course, of Objibway stock and 
come from the Bear Island reserve. 
The services of these are always to be 
had by tourists, sportsmen, or others, on 
application to the forest rangers or to 
Stevens, the genial proprietor of the Te- 
magami station dining-room. French- 
Canadians — descendants of the old cou- 
reurs-de-bois — north country trappers 
and American woodsmen, are on the roll- 
call. My guide, himself, came of New 
York German stock. “Ten years ago I 
ventured into this country,” he said. 
“The States was always a pretty good 
home to me and I’ve no kick coming down 
that way. But, once a fellow falls into 
this life, makes a hit and takes a liking 
to it, he hates to go back w’here the rivers 
are slow and the bush only grows in 
patches. Often I think I’ll take a run 
down south ’cross the line but when I get 
down to serious figuring I find I’m here 
for keeps. Look at it from all direc- 
tions — it’s a life that is hard to beat.” 
Seek far and wide, ask of the wise men 
of the East and of the West, or go deep 
into the wilderness yourself and talk 
with other men of the open places, and 
you’ll find no finer band of men than 
Ontario’s guides of the North. Brown or 
white, Objihway or Canuck, they are 
diamonds in the rough, but Nature’s gen- 
tlemen — every one.
