What with the election, and its uncertainity of result, 'Xmas and' its .usual excitements, and then Municipal elections and. School Board time has passed so rapidly that I was in the new vear befora I realized if. First and foremost I must on behalf of 'the farmers and ethers in this district congartulate Mr D. Kennedy on his magnificant victory in the elec- tion. It was a clean fight from start to finish, ~ although but little known outside his own district, his election evidently expressed the determination of the people of this riding to have 'et least a cleaner and saner view of the life political. . Congratulations are also due to Mayor Pitt. The citizens of Dryden certainly make no mistake in their ideas of the proper man. to represent their views in municipal life, and look to him as the right person to lift their town out or that moribund state into which it seems to have fallen. That the Mayor and his new Council will infuse some new life and vigor into the civic life is the hope of the sur- rounding communities. - Whilst on the subject of Shintdipatie ties it is often thrown out as a sugges- tion 'to the farmers in the Oxdrift district, that they organise themselves. The matter has often been discussed, but always resolves itself into the question, as to what good would be got out of it. They look at the neighbouring orzenisations of Macin West, and Van Horne, on the cast. What bencfit have they derived? What becomes, of all the money raiesd each vear in taxes? Their roads and schools are no better than unorganised portions.t When the benefits ar tangible then organisations will natur- ally follow. on ue *. The development of the water-power north of Dryden will be: carefully It is the | only oné left in the immediate district and if power is to ke transmittad any- where surely the country folk should have as much chance in sharir? in it as the mines. As pointed out before in this column, Dryden's welfare de- pends not on mines or mills, but on a contented and prosperous country side, Take no heed to the farmers'. pleas for consideration in the power scheme and where will the tova be in a few years. OXDRIFT WANTS TELEPHONES At a representative meeting of the Oxdrift district, called for the purpose of considering the nstallation of a tel- ephone system, it was agresd to take {immediate steps lrading to the accom- plishment- of the same. Messrs Crosier Brignall and Corner were appointed a commitiee to meet the Dryden Muni- cipal Telephone Commission, to see if the' System might be extended to in- tude Gadrift. It was learned thal averal residents who are unable tc connect up with the line at present are willitiz to help ereet he poles, as iney know something of the value of mis utility in an emergency. The committee will report to a meeting at the Oxdrift co-operative store on the first of Foran Northern Developinont Branch. SEED GRAIN. NOTICE TO SETTLERS.
