After careful enquiry, and much profound thought as to the hidden reason, our high-brow expert is in a position to supply the answer to the problem. There is just one thing keeps onr boys from winning there, and much as we regret to ac- knowledge it, honour demands that the truth be told. The thing that stops our nine from winning at Kenora is--the Kenora team. But there is no need to get down- hearted. With more aitention to practice Dryden has lots of time to improve its team play; and it would not take a great deal tc enable them to give Kenora a run for its money. The score shows the astonishing fact that Kenora got its 15 runs with only twelve hits in the game. So it is easy to see where the weakness is. A Kenora critic states that "time after time the man got to first when he should have been stopped.' When the fielding gets as much at'ention as the batting average, Dryden will show a score worthy of the real qual- ity of the team. Better luck n:xt time. : The match between Weewatin and Dryden Football teams on the home ground of the latter proved a very well-contested game. The one goal of the match went to the visitors, as the result of a penalty kick. Other- wise the game was without any ex- citing incident. The home team showed vatfioy weak in the forward line, being somewhat light as compared with the visiting backs. Tommy Walters, on the right suffered also from a slight lame ess. Harrison at half-back did valuable work for his team, and showed much judgment. The strong defense put up by Hardy and Foulis, with Ted} Burgess in the goal, evened up the advantage of Keewatin in the for- ward line. Their good work saved their side from adverse score on sev- eral occasions. Keewatin, as always in football, had a strong combination, and play- a clever game. They showed evidence of being in far better practice than the Dryden boys. They are, above all, good sports, and will be welcome to Dryden on some future occasion. The event of the day in the matter of interest, however, was the kase- ball game between Dryden and Ken- ora Juniors. Never has better base: ball been seen on the local diamond than these boys showed. On both sides enthusiasm was keen, and some brilliant plays were made. = Button (Kenora) on 3rd let nothing pass him, and was inceed brilliant at times. For Dryden, young Foote hit a three-bagger as well as the onl; home run in the game. Jimmy Bed- dome pitcher, and F. Wil lard catcher held ther opponents down to the limit, and showed sonic. fine: ball. The teams were: G. Button, B. Allan, E. Moore, J. Ward, F. Rozch, N. Holderson, Proudlock and Benny (Kenora). E. Louttit, M. Upton, G. Clark, F. Willard, J. Beddome, F. Foote, J. Offer, N. Dickson, V. Black (Dryden). The game was close and exciting throughout, and keenly contested It resulted in win for Dryden, 12--9 with Dryden ome innings to play. Dryden rooters had the unusual ex perience of watching a team of which they could be proud, and yelled them selves hoarse with delight. . Some class to them kids, believe me.

Legislation providing for a mini- mum wage in the lumbering and pulp and paper industry will be ore of the demands put forward by the Labour group of the Ontario House next session. Though the caling of the next session is eight months away, Peter Heenan, Member for Kenora, is already busy upon the framing of the bill with a view to starting in early in building up support for it. "The proposition is that every in- dustry that is making use of public resources for its raw material should be repuired to pay a minimum wage that will approximate at least the standard of living as laid down by | the family budget issued at Ottawa," said the Kenora member last nigh: during a visit to Toronto. "My idea would be to apply it to sawmills and pulp and paper mills at the outset, though it might be made to apply also to the mining industry." The tentative bill mapped out by Mr Heenan would not deal harshly with any enterprise. His thought is that if an employer objected that he could not pay the minimum wage fixed without operating his bus ness at a loss, then the government should have a right to step in and get at the facts. If it appeared on investiga- tion that there was ground for the objection, then it would be for the Government to make concesions to the employer in the way of reduced dues on timber, to enable wage in- creases to be made up to the mini- mum. The propoed bill would, according to Mr Heenan, give the Government power to take necessary measures where it was found that the inability of an industry to pay fair wages was due to inefficient management.--Mail & Empire, Tor- onto, THANKS.

May 18th, 1921, the infant son of Mr and Mrs Robert McMonagle, passed away, aged 6 wecks and 4 days. DRYDEN MILL STARTED AT a Union meeting held to consider the latest developments of the pulp and paper industries, the final step in the negotiations with the Dryden Paper Co. was disposed of. The men agreed to accept a fifteen per cent wage reduction, but stood out for the eight hour day in all departments. They consider this matter vital to the progress of labour towards the goal to which they have been strugg- ling over the years. That the mill that employs them should not be un- fairly handicapped, however, they agreed to accept the nine hour day provided it became established rule in the industry generally in other parts of Canada. This point was finally cont by the management Thursday afternoon and all departmens are now preparing to get under way at the earliest pos- sible date. No discrimination will be used in the re-instatement of employees, all men being engaged by the foremen of their respective departments. A feeling of profound relief was gene- rally expressed on learning the news, evening at an early date to dissipate the last shred of gloom that has accumulated in recent days. Ed. Taylor has now recovered fron: his accident sufficiently to be able to take a gang to the Eagle River plant of the Dryden Paper Co. They are fitting up the saws ready for cutting up the great booms of logs that float on th ebosom of Eagle Lake after a winter's operations in the neigh- bouring woods Mr Taylor has not completely regained the control of his right arm, but his great experi- ence makes him too valuable to lose further time on that account. He deserves the congratulations of his friends for his recovery. : Dryden Syncopated Septette will again entertain the ciitzens of Dry- den and district to a Dance in the 'Mill Hall on Thursday evening, be- -nent and Backus."--Toronto Star. off. cal and social welfare--to fight the possible, hold a monopoly on their production and grind them down to where they were at the time of our forefathers. on behalf of the committee, thanked the public for their generous suppcrt. also giving thanks to the orchestra Mrs A.

Why Bill Rouses Heenan The mews from Ottawa that in spite of the attitude of the Ontario Government, the Dominion govern- ment -will "introduce legislation to give control of Lake of the Woods waters for power purposes federal authorities, is not worrying | Western Ontario, but is causing a great deal of indignation, according to Mr Peter Heenan, member for Kenora, who is in Toronto. : "I cannot say very much about 7 he said, "all I know is what I have seen in press despacthes as to what is contemplated by Premier Meighen. "The people or the representatives of Western Ontario have not been consulted in the matter at all. Only the Manitoba ower interests have had anything to say in the matter. "I have not the least fear that On- tario will permit might to prevail over right at this time any more than she did when the Prussians tried it. "In my opinion it is an attempt to prevent industrials establishing in Western Ontario, for the benefit of private interests in Manitoba, viz.: the Winnipeg Street Railway Com- pany and the pulp & paper company which is about to establish in south- western Manitoba. "I cannot think that the premier of this country will resort to Mexi- can methods 'of legislation for the purpose of playing cheap politics, and when the Ontario members of she dominion house and the reople of Old Ontario realize what is being attempted, he may find that he will have to pay dearly for it.
