Caven, which occurred at the Gen- eral Hospital, Kenora night. Although Mr Caven had been un- well for several months his death was most unexpected, and on the same day as he passed away, he had received some Dryden friends who were in Kenora on the Jury. The late Mr Caven was the mana-- ger of the Oxdrift Co-Operative Store, here for a couple of years, after which he zssisted Mr A. R. Tiuichison with the manazement of the Tourist Hotel at Kenora, until recently when he was employed with the Northern Devecl-pment Dept.

It is said that this year the ".ans-Caraia Highway from Kenora o 'Fort William will be completed. Of course it is surprising thst this has been done long ago. At least there are no; many countries in the world where a person cannot travel from one end to the other by pubiiz highways. It may be a good excuse tha: C-nada is a very yong country only latel~ disccovered. but mot of us are =' ck of this excuse and feel that some honest effor; should be os 2 have the highway complet- ed.
