Fraser of Cameron and Heap, wholesale stores and Mr W. A. Dowler, K.C. chairman of the Parks Board, all of Fort William, were here over the week-end, the guests of Mayor Pitt. Mr Dowler who is a keen student of agriculture, said "We have hurridly visited the country from Wabigoon to Vermillion Bay a distance * approximately forty-five miles. We saw land continuously adapted to agri- culture with the exception of a short ridge between Eagle River and Ver- million Bay which we are informed, is only a narrow uplift. We dropped off at four or five farms, among them that of Mr Fred Brignall where we found about twenty acres of excellent ensilage sunflower intended for the finishing of beef cattle. We found farming conducted on a sc'entifie, ad- vanced and paying basis incorporating the growing of clover seed for export from the district, winter feeding of cattle for export; petato growing for export and the production of honey for export and home consumpation, in- dicating that agriculture has advanced of a fixed productive industry which should form a most solid foundation for steady advancement in the trade and commerce of Dryden and Dryden District. We found that very definite steps were taken by farmers in the sunflower and 5 ! and heavier winter feeding. On inquiry wo learned much the same conditions prevail here as at the head of the Lakes in respect to Butter production, that the agricultural community 'had not yet realized its responsibility to produce the full quota of Butter re- quired for local consumption, preferr- ing the present gain of higher receipts for Milk and Cream, from a limited production, tothe Surer gain of such an increased production as would sup- ply home needs, increase the volume of their respective farming operations add to the fertility of the sril, turn their ensilage and coarse feed into money in the shape of Butter and Meat products and build up the gross volume of trade and commerce in town and country. There is an amount approximating twenty-five thousand dollars sent out of the country each year for Butter. This amount is en- tirely lost to the community whereas if the farmers produced the requisite amount of Butter, the community would benefit in cash to that extent affecting both the farmer and trades- man. We noted with great interest the ex: tions carried on by the Dryden Paper Company, and were indeed suprrised at the development which have been taking place at Eagle River Falls. We learned with much interest of the future possibilities of this develop- ment and were again surprised at the further construction work started at lower falls on Wabigeon River which we visited and in the manner in which this Company is making provisions for the future in ¢he matter of power re- quirements and inthe most substantial manner in which the work which they are doing is being carred on. It seems as if the citizens of Dryden have the ] greatest earnest of constantly increas- ' ing activities arising out of the opera- tions of this Company. | We visited two of the mining camps { carrying on operations here and were ; : very much impressed by what we saw. The nmafnér of their operating indicat- ed well devised and well thought out plans, and the deduction that a casual observer would make from the way the work is being projected and carri- ed out are that the Company knows what it is about, and is planning for a real mine conducted on a sound bus- ' iness-like basis. ; / { We were amazed at the extent of ¥ ar * £060606050050000800000060 A.J.

From the strike in the Amer- jcan coal mines the shortage cannot now be made up in time to meet the needs of the comng winter. In view of this serious condition, it is well to draw attention to the fact that there is still a chance to secure your requirements in coal for next winter if you act at once. Mr J. Winterbottom is taking orders for coal, and can accommodate those who will put in their order at once for Egg, Stove, Nut and Drumheller coal, The price is bound to go up as winter draws near, and those who delay will be unable to get a supply at any price next winter. : : To protect yourself and make sur of your coal, it will be well to see Mr Winterbottom as early as possible and make arrangements for delivery when you need coal. Otherwise you may be oft in a very difficult situation when cold weather comes. The government is anxious to impress the seriousness of the matter on our attention. J.

A. TOOLE \: Kenora The Best in the Land Great prepaartions are being made to celebrate the opening of the new hall at Oxdrift next Thursday, August 24th. The programme will be of an unusual kind, and will attract great interest from everybody. The first thing will be a baseball match between Oxdrift and a selected team from Dryden, starting at 3.30. The opening ceremony will take place at five o'clock, followed by a Chicken Supper provided by Oxdrift Women's Institute, : But the big attraction will start at 7.30, and will consist of a programme by the best talent that can be secured in this district. - Concerts are pretty often dull affairs where the audience is fed up with tuneless playing, tire- Dear Mr Toole.--I am asked by some of the citizens of Dryden who fancy themselves base ball players to chall- enge an equal number of Kenora citizens to a friendly contest in Base Ball. - As challengers we ask that the game be played in Dryden. If the game proves as successful as I an- ticipate, a return match can be played in Kenora next year, or upon receipt of your challenge. : <n We propose the game should take place some time in September, and we beg to submit the following ruling: | None of the players shall be league players, and the gate receipts shall be divided in the proportions of two- thirds to the winning team and one- third to the losing nine. Proceeds may be devoted to any issue decided upon by the lucky winners. N.B.--Our two- thirds will be applied to the use of the Dryden Base Ball Club. I am having this chalienge pub- lished in the Kenora Examiner, The Dryden Observer and The Kenora Miner. The desire on our part is to promote friendly relations, and give the has-beens a chance to get in the limelight. NN Jt is suggested that yourself and myself umpire the game. some songs and stupid recitations. But this is not a concert. It will be two hours of bright entertainment by the best and cleverest people that can be found, Nobody will be asked to play or sing to tickle their own vanity. They will be there because they can do something that will be a delight for the audience to see or hear. Never before has Oxdrift had the advantage of a piano at its entertain- ments. On Thursday night we will have a splendid insttrument, and people who know how to play it. Also a real Concert Orchestra to play sel- ections and accompany some of the! songs. We will have the latest music, | full of pep to make young blood tingle. -- other selections that will grip you with the charm of sweetest melody; ' a highland dance or so; and for older folks we can promise some of the fine old songs, sung as you never heard them before, that will tighten your heart-strings and draw tears to the eyes for the sweet memories they bring back. And never a dull moment all the time! You are going to enjoy yourselves and be glad you were there. You never could guess who will be there either; this is going to be a big surprise, and will give you one of the most pleasant evenings of your life.
