DRYDEN OBSERVER Brings Home the Bacon The Dryden Senior Ball team took a trip to Kenora and Keewatin on Wednesday to play two scheduled ball games. The first game was to take place at Kenora at 2 p.m. At two o'clock it did not look as if there would be any game at-all as an ideal rain storm was getting in its good work. But it did not last long and the boys stuck around, anxious to play rather than make the trip again. "Play ball" was called at 3.15 with Rimstead and Frost for Kenora and Kozak and Armstrong for Dryden. A couple of men walked, a man get- ting hit and a few fumbles gave Ken- ora three runs in the first innings. Dryden came back in the second with two runs, two more in the third.and one in the fourth making it 5--3 in favor of Dryden. At this stage of the game a little loose ball-playing gave Kenora 2 and Dryden 1. The game ended in favor of Kenora, 7--6. Making up their mind to bring 'home some of the bacon, the ensueing game with Keewatin saw Duncan "the little big man," and Armstrong for Dryden, and Carey and Christen- son for Keewatin. The Dryden gang got going and made eight runs in the first, four in the second innings and a couple more in between made a score of 16--5 in favor of Dryden, then the game was called off on account of darkness. Boolah was sliding home in the Keewatin game and some how got tangled up with the Ump. who was standing at home plate. When the dust cleared away Boolah was sitting on the Ump. playing horse-back. It did not take the Ump. long in telling Boolah he was out. You shouldn't ride the Ump. Boo- lah, they don't like it. § Miss Mona Morris, Miss Myrtle Beddome, Dunc Reid and Doc Gra- ham chaperoned the team on its trip. P. A. JONES, Dryden and Dinorwic Plain and Ornamental plasterer.

For all we know about him he may possess virtues that his leading editorial of July 21st successfully conceal- ed: but, also, for all he knows about us, we may have worthy qualities that didn't appear in the Dryden Observer on July 4th. But in spite of these unknowns-- perhaps because of them--this editor, for no sufficient cause com- mits actionable libel against us. He calls us "dastardly knockers," and "contemptible creatures." We surmise as well that in the same editorial, he publishes other libels much more serious than these. Why? Let us sample him, pan him, assay him and thereby, per- haps, find out. Observing superficially at first, as our custom is with specimens, we note that when this editor has something to say he rises superior to syntax. For that we call you brother: we have trouble with our grammar too. But in- accuracy in the simple rules of writing warns us: perhaps he is inaccurate in his facts as well. We'll presently see. We note his courage. He be- longs to that fine, old-fashioned type--so rare these days--who calls a spade a spade. He says right out loud, that "men of the Rockfeller type, should be "doing terms in Sing Sing (prison) in- stead of rolling in millions ;" and he pins the guilt of a "diabolical steal" where he thinks it belongs, even though he touch "a Lieuten- ant-Governor" who "had a 'Sir' stuck on his name." How we love to here a real fighter talk! The poor Lieutenant-Governor is dead --God rest his bones--would that he could enjoy it too! We observe his paper. Its name is double--"The Kenora Exam- iner" and "Central Canada Min- ing Record." A mining papet in a mining district; he'll know his subject, and he and we will have one . common cause. Shake for.

These are mines where we toyed with picks and powder in shafts and drifts some twenty years ago, more and less. Now we are back with you again, wiser we hope, still mining, still keen, still striving to develop this district. You'll welcome our aid--dear me; how you have needed help these many years ! A man, so inaccurate, so unfair, so unavailing in his own vocation, is unlikely to be sound either in his theories or in his: facts. Nor does he appear to be. He advocates conservation, but confuses it with reservation and stagnation. Would he recommend the Mikado to be reserved for generations yet unborn? One would suppose not, reading his paper. = Those who live in this generation have some rights, and sound economic science doesn't know conservation except after production has actually started. He states as a fact that "in- competence of the grossest kind" killed the Mikado. Tom Deacon, twice Mayor of Winnipeg, found- er and owner of the Winnipeg Bridge Works, was in charge of the mine during part of its de- clining years. We would not call Deacon an incompetent: He explains the retrograde con- ditions of this district by pointing to a world depression of twenty years ago and to the world war. He does not seem to know that mining should boom when com- metce lags. ; He called us names: before we judge him dangerous, let us in- quire if we first gave offence. Our only offence against the Examiner so far as we are aware was to write an essay on our mining problems which was published under our names in the Dryden Observer on July 4th. We did not mention him, nor his affairs. We can only conclude that the essence of our offence has been that, be- ing prospectors, exasperated with everlasting failure, © we dared to become vocal. By inference, we suppose it 18 the duty of prospectors, according 'to this publicist, to keep on toil- ing, and suffering want, and achieving ' despair, to keep on growing old before our time, and dumbly to die and to be buried under our own ore dumps (lack- ing money for a more decent burial), but never to utter a pro- test nor to offer a suggestion. Leave such things to editors. ALEXANDER WILSON & FRED ALLAN BRANDT. DRYDEN, July 26th, 1922. DYMENT Dyment's contribution to the Red Cross Hospital totalled $175.00, an amount not very large in itself but re- markably large when our poor circum- stances are considered, Every cent of this amount was given cheerfully and the hyperacid knocker--so well known |in other localities--who thinks more of getting top prices for his potatoes than of helping a worthy cause, had very poor chances here. All Dyment responded with a smile which promises good for the future. The ladies here are organizing a club. That is, they are so far only making 'preparations, but as we all know they generally get what they want. ; . - Miss Veitch, the nurse, visited us last week nnd examined the children.
