COLLISON, in the Kegs: a Examiner) WALDHOF--the urban portion of a progressive community about thirty miles west of the town of Dryden, and near the end of the finished portion of the highway that one day will connect that important section of Kenora Dist- rict with the town from which its name is derived, was practically an un- inhabited . wilderness little more than fifteen years ago. About that time it attracted a colony of settlers, chiefly of Germanic origin, who with itis more than their bare hands and the rugged thrift that characterizes their race, proceeded to make homes for themselves and their children in that isolated section of Canadian woodland In the years that have intervened these settlers have cleared and cultiva- ted splendid farm lands out of ths virgin bush, many of which in acreage and produce are among the best in the In the last few years sinee the benefit of settlement & main roads have opened a way to their doors, they have taken a lead in community de- velopment that is worthy of attention. Among other things they possess a telephone system--each settler buying his own instrument and doing his share in stringing wires along trees and fence posts for which they pay no rates to anybody but have the advant- age of the service as long as they keep their own telephone in repair. A co-operative store, which was started with a barrel of coal-oil and = case of soda biscuits, has grown until it necessiated an up-to-date Store building which was completed last fall. This year their activites have been devoted to the erection of a new Hall, to which as is their custom, the ern development, and George Oakley, M.L A. for Riverdale, Toronto, and H.
