Col. Hughes Urges Claims of Coboconk District to En- tension of Trent Canal In the House on Monday, December 3. Col. Hughes proposed a motion for the construction of a branch can- al from the main waters of the Trent Can-a1, at the Village of Coboconk, on the height of land, Balsam Lake, northward up the Gull River waters for about 60 miles. He took it for granted that the main Trent Ca.- nat would be pressed to a. speedy completion. Summarized, the argu- ments advanced for the constuctio'n of the work were: (1) The policy of lev the Go\‘emmen~t as in the canal from Lake Simcoe to Newmarket ; (2) the great quantities of valuable hard- wood and other timbers tributary to these lakes which could not be 113111- ed over the rugged hills to the rail- way, but which could be readily brought down in, scows ; (3) the ben- efit, to farmers along the route, there being about 20,000 persons tributary to the route now ; (4) the opening up of large new areas for farming and grazing, for the settlers areno long- er lumbermen for nine months and farmers for three. They are farmers twelve months out of each year, and are all doing well ; (5) incidentally it would be a great tourist route, and nearly $2.000,000 was last year left in Muskoka alone. He suggested that there should be a lock and dam at Coboconk, thence through Mud Turtle Lakes to Nor- land. A lock there and at Elliott’s Falls would lead into Moor’s Lake. thence via a. small lift at Moor’s Falls or Leary's. There would beg clear stretch through the beautiful waters of Gull Lake to Minden ; and thence by a slide lock operated by water power access could be had to Mountain Lake ; thence With a dam: between Horeshoe and Mountain Statistics show that in New York'fity elbne over 200 people die every week frag Yod know how quickly Mcofl' EmalJi’on enables you to throw off u coughorcold.

He asked Col. Hughes to withdraw the motion, as the ob- ject of furnishing the House with the data had been aecomplished. He pro- mised to look into the matter, and bring the matter before the Minister Wet-Proofâ€"Cold-I Wynn want a pair of rubber: that will last until {ou're tired of themâ€"«ubbets that will keep your eet bone-dry thougbmfiou wade all day in slushy allowâ€"rubbers that ' wear like flint and fit like 3 â€"â€"go to a live dealer's and l) a ' u firm...” annL ” All “13 ”'5. 30 m lum Double Wear In Every Pair ; unva. y--v Col.

The motion 'was withdrawn. I On Wednesday Col. Hughes asked fiwhat water powers are still possess- ‘ed-by the Government of Canada 5 along the route Of the Trent' Canal, :what water powers had been leased or 'disposed of, and what were the terms. {In each case he was informed by Slr Wilfrid.Le.uriaer, that the inlormation wouldbe too voluminous inthe form of a question, but there'was no ob- jection to granting it as a. return to the House.
