Right-Map locating Fort McMur- ray and Waterways in relation to the new gold strikes in the Great Slave and Great Bear Lake region. The water route northward is by way of the Mackenzie river system. was where the good citizens made their big mistake.
 Denouement
 The railway bigwigs got wise They brought the railroad through barren northern Alberta, wandering nearly 300 miles across the muskegs from Edmonton to g. bend on the river three miles above Fort Me- Murray.
 There the Northern Alberta anc Peace River Railway built its station and nailed up 8 sign which carried the one word Waterways" There the railroad built new docks and to- day that is where the river boats load up their cargoes brought north ward on rails.
 For the two C. three months thai navigation is possible during mid summer, river boats haul heavy equipment and fuel oil stores. The rest of the year transportation north of the rail terminus is con- fined to airplanes, which use ski. in winter, pontoons in summer.
 Typical distances from Waterway! to the mining camps are: Goldfields 300 miles; Yellowknife, 615 miles Eldorado radium mine, lone source of radium on the North American continent, $50 miles.

THAR SHE GoEsl
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Thar she goes! the trailer Already for another tour, New curtains and fresh paint, The open road does lure. The wanderer and adventurer In the springtime feels He must be of, up and away. In his house on wheels. Isn't it a nifty job? And very decent abode, Can hold it's own with any car Met with on the road Think of the lovely places, You go as you like, Parking the bus now and then While you take cross country hike ... Think of the life in the open, None of your formal truck, The long road before you, That is if you don't get stuck. Thar she goes! the trailer, At numbering and genteel amble, Nothing like it at that For a rowing, rollicking ramble.

such an expenditure as we are
now making but we are starting

future of the industry and in the
future of our nation. BY build
ing at this time, we are provid-
ing added employment in West

strate the idea that progressive
action now is the stimulus which
will lift all business and indus
try out of the present situation
Of the first 100 houses there
will be 60 four-room houses, "a
