'Hambly, in opening the meeting, outlined tha history and possitilities of Spot in Dryden, and urged its value and im-, portance to public welfare. He thought it was not even yet realized: that all e'tize~s, and especially mar-, ried men, should neglect no op oitun- ity to further the srorting fostivets of the race. He expressed his 1 eacure on retiring from cffice at the progress made so far, hut urged that increased interest should result in g eater effort. He could not but reco~nisa the appropriaieness of making some reference to the valued work of the late T. A. Macl-enrie in the i terest of Sport. An in"efaticable worker, his place could in e-sily be filed where the Drvden Athletic wa scon- cerned, and in no section of pu lic life would he ke nore g e t'y missed. H. R.

CONFECTIONERY, FRUIT Ford Motor Company | Opens Branch. \ ONE more evidence ofthe growing importance of Dryden in the b siness world is suppli ied by tle fact that the Ford Motor Company has decided to establish a branch here, incorporating | the Dryden district from Quibkell to | Dryden and east. A few cars fully equipped with self-starters, ete., a 1-ton truck, and] tractors ate now on view at Wil on's Livery Barn, and a full line of Ford accessories is being installed to meet local requirements. ; Hal Dingwall, who has had much experience in the automobile business is in charge as sales manager. OXDRIFT. Co-operative store at Oxdrift. 3 A largely attended meeting from around Oxdrift ard district was held n the clover grewers ball Frid y of last week, to organize a Co-operat ve Society for the purpose of starting a general store in Oxdrift. After some discussicn as to whs- ther it were advisable to have the clover growers start a store rather 'han form a new compsny, tie ma- jortiy decided on having the two businesses separate. W. W. Howell, the Secretary, kad he necessary pap:rs on hard, wth a ~opy of suitable By-laws, and afie: a sumber had s'gaified their intentien '0 take shares, application was rad: to. the Government for a char er. When this arrives steps will at orce! he taken to secure a qualified mzna- ver to establish a store. In a letter regardirg the applica tion for the Charter, Mr F. C, Hart, kets branch says: -- "With regard to your inquiry, the Kenora District Seed Growors' Assso- ciation was, I understand, organized for the definite purpose of producicg and marketing clover seed ard other 'arm products, and buy ng farm sus- plies. The charter did not in-lude household supplies, and the clear in- tention was that it was not a siore business. oo I chould think the wiser course wculd be to form a separate Company, and it ness for both cloves growers and the store business.' mead NOTICE. T. J. Latimer announces that he has sold his Butcher Shop to Mr Rob-1t Miller, who will take over tke busi- ness from Monday, 2nd Mav.

It is the particular desire of Council ¢ all citizens interested in the = 2 nitation and apperaance of Dryden -- ild be' present, and be given op- Trp to express their views. e Town Hall at 8 o'clock Tuesday ving should be the meeting place live citizens. _ YOU MUST E for yourself whether you are one of them. Another question to be brought up for discussion will be that of a Build- ing Bylaw. We constantly kear the explanation given that the number of vacant lots down town is the rea- for delay in promotnz waterworks and drainage system in Town. A practical Building Bylaw wouls tend to correct that recrattcble con- dition, as well as lower the oppressive : nee rates that at present ex'st. reventing the erecticn of fire- other m enaces to progres. ty. Those who seek to bene m locating in Town should be ohl ed to bear a fair share of its respons bilities, and chould justify their right to such privileges by a wi ess to invest in the Town in proportion to the expected advanta- ges. & Clean-up Week will be decided on at Trexday's meeting of Dryden Town, Council. The regular monthly meeting was held on Tuesday, April 5th 'Mlayor Pitt presided. Coun. Hilt Norgate, Matthews, and Golde. being also present. After minutes of the previous meeting were read and approvea of, matters affecting the health and sanita tion of the Town were onsidered. jack Brookes appear: - in connection with his 'appli- cation for the post of scavenger. After being carefully instructed in regard to the duties, he was appointed Town scavenger, at a salary of $500.00 The health inspector was next instructed to see that all house- holders were notified to have all yards put in order, with refuse] and ashes properly piled for con- venience of the scavenger. Citizens are reminded in the interests of a clean Town to avoid all causes of delay to the work of Town officials, Rules and regu- lations thot oh they may be at times vexatious, are after all § necessary to the general good of he community, and a hea'thy public opinion can always be re lied on to support an official in the exercise of his plain duty. A general effort wiil be made to put the Town in a ti idy condi- tion and keep it so. The Constable was notified to give all possible publicity to the law concerning dog tags and payment of the necessary license. The equipment needed to bring the Fire Brigade up to a high state of efficiency will be secured as soon as the list is received from the captain, D. Anderson. The Mayor and Clerk were em- powered to sign the mote to the Stromberg-Carlson Company, in accordance with the agreement of last year. Accouts to the amount of 81463. 3 were passed for pay- ment. This was all the business, and Council adjourned. A special meeting of 'Dryden Council was held on Saturday 2nd April, to consider the matter of sending a representative with the Kenora delegation to inter- view the Government in regard to the Regulation Bill to control the waers of our district. In view of the fact that formers' Clubs are sending down resolutions en- dorsing the attitude of Dryden Board of Trade on the question, it needed but little discussion to show that he Council were unan- 'mous in heir desire to co-operate with Kenora. Coun. Herb Wild® was appointed to join the Kenora party on its way east. The pur- nose of the trip is to strengthen ond uphold our member, Mr P. eenan, in his fight to have On- tario retain control of its own water-powers. | Dryden Mill Shuts Down THE unsettled oandltions that exist ally,, is today being reflected here Dryden. In: common with all indus- trial agreements, that existing be- tween the Dryden Paper Company and its employees expires on Satur- day, April 30th. Negotiations have been in progress between "these latter in the attempt to reach a working agreement for the coming industrial year. So far, no settlement has been reached an situation is rather a delicate on At meetings of the Union held this week proposals and 'counter-propesals were heard and submitted, finally being condensed into the following definite offer from the Compan The Company to aczept the existing agreement, which includes the 8-hour day and the fullet recognition of 'the Union, with the single alteration that the men submit to a readjustment of wages in the form of a 15 per cent reduction on present rates and the elimination of the bonus. 'In all other respects t hepresent conditions to remain. At a fully-attended meeting of local No. 105 [.LB.P.S. & P.M.W. held on Wednesday, a ballot was faken on the above proposition, with the result that the offer was finally rejected. The men generally concede the point that a readjustment is inevitable, but consider that the present cost of liv- 'ng does not justify the acceptance of so great a reduction. As a result, after the present agreement expires on Saturday the men will not: return so work until more satisfactory terms can be secured. There is no' strike, they claim, but they cannot afford te resume work unless better returns can be secured for their labour. : A notice was posted in the M: 'hat, for the present, the plant would "lose down until sufficient orders were on hand to enable them to con- tinue operation without interruptio At the request of Mr Beverid the men agreed to' allow the Power: house and Fire Pro'ection staffs to remain on duty, to avoid unnecessary hardship and to protect property. The negotiations have heen condue- fed on both sides with consid : The officials of the Union, while re- cognising that the position is! grave, are inclined to be reticent, but express 2 desire to avoid all cause for meed- less animosity. There is as hone that a new development arise to hasten settlement early next week. Failing that, there is no know- 'ng how long the trouble may last, as the whole papermaking industry is in a state of disruption. aad In reply to a request f x a e any final ) e Comuany had act- lly lost money the last few months trying to keep. things going, and now found it impossible to continue pro- duction at present rates when there was no. market and the outlook was anything but bright. Naturally, it was his desire to have the plant in operation as soon as conditions ren- dered that possible.
