His impressions gained on the ground astonished him beyond mea- 'sure. His preconceived ideas on this newer part of Canada were found to be considerably at variance with the actual facts. He was most agreeably surprised to find that the severe weather conditions which he had been accustomed to regard with dread, were enjoyed by the people who dwelt here, and in fact simplified the operations of those adventurous people who are developing our natural resources. The tremendous activities at the Redeemer and Bonanza mines were a revelation to him, and showed that mining on a large scale could be suc- "cessfully carried on even in a Canad- ia.: winter. : Mr Blanchet had his attention drawn to this part of the world by the financial operations of the Wach- man-Olson interests, and was so im- pressed by the opportunities offered here that he has decided to associate the great financial house he represents with the concerns already active here. 'He has agreed to finance the develop- ment of the Wachman-Olson prop- "erties, for which he predicts a wonder- ful future. v This mine has been operating under the greatest handicaps for about three years, but has stood the severe tests despite all difficulties, and from now or should make rapid progress with the great support derived from the ample capital necessary to. bring the properties to a productive basis." We look forward to a tremendous devel- opment in the near future, and confi- dently expect the Dryden mining dis- trict to record a striking success before any more monils have oma l TOWN OF DRYDEN.

Taking the trip ali through, it was certainly enjoyed be able to make it. The boys from the Sioux have a fine point. From the moment you get off the train they take you in hand and keep a watchful eye over you until you are leaving and shaking hands again. A bunch of good sports. Curly Brooks chaperoned the boys and he certainly handled his job to perfection. Between Curly telling ws that Richan was just over that little hill, or behind that bunch of bushes, and Dusty War- ren telling us the storoy of his first christy stiff, or how he runs down rabbits, the distance was soon covered.

As it was, nearly two hundred paid for ad- mission. The game turned out to be a humdinger with Dryden on- the long end of a 4--1 score. The spectators, after congratu- lating the team, told them that it was cone of the best games sceil at the Sioux. Dryden favs have a4 treat in store when th: Sioux visits us. After twenty minutes of clean, fast hockey the bell found the teams tied 1--1, Johnny Wilson scoring for Dryden. Boys certainly tried hard to break the tie, but young Shelly was "on" In the second period the Stoux = Saturday night and nothing was getting past him. = After twelve minutes of hard; fast playing, Johnny scored his second count for Dryden.

The back check- ing of the Crescents, and the saves by Shelly, were too much for the Railroad Boys.. Boolah thought he was playing pool in this period, and tried a carome with success {rom the fence to the goal tender, to the net for the third goal of the game. Johnny took the puck down and scored for the fourth goal, with just a minute to go. 'To pick out any of the Cres- cents 'and say they out-shone their team-mates would hardly be fair. The boys all playzd wel, and they played hard. The back checking and combination work of both teams was superb.

OLDEST TEMPLE IN WORLD UNEARTHED IN BABYLONIA PHILDADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 21--An ancient temple whose history goes so far back beyond the reign of Pharoah Tutenkhamun, that nobody knows ex- actly how old it is, has been found in Ur, the Chladldean city, which was the home of Abraham in Babylonia. The discovery was made in exca- vations conducted jointly by the Bri- tish museum and the university of Pennsylvania museum. "The latest reports indicate that some ancient temple, built about three milleniums before Christ, was found. Ailltions and repairs were made - by King Nebuchadnezzar. "However, the work is in its early stages and it is impossible to Say how {much history will be reveals Last week we recieved a little: flood E spent. a few days with friends at Wab-| Hay Well Have: a IO | Reg'lar Paper 'then AN announcement for which Dryden | Town has long been anxiously looking [* forward has at last been made by Mr J. B. Beveridge, managing director of Dryden Paper Co. The Company will be able to deliver power from the new plant at Wainwright Falls in a- bout a month. The waiting period has been fully taken advantage of by the brotherhcod of beefers to solemnly warn every- 'Jbody that the hope of benefif, from the new power was a delusion znd a snare ard that all who were active in pro- riwting the enterprize were partners in a conspiracy to fool ihe town. If we were to listen to hal crowd, atwut the only us: we wouid have for Falls would be to go over them with- ou: even a barrel, and so end our troubles; but we still hanker after the ncticn that the world is not quite so rotten as they'd have us believe. Fire Fiend Takes Toll Three serious fires have occurred in the Dryden area within the week. The river, which was completely burned while the owner, John Wilson was ab- sent at the mill. The shack and all its contents were completely destroyed. He carried: no insurance. Saturday afternoon the smoke of another fire could -be seen from the Town, and the word went round that the home of Dune and Mrs McKellar was on fire. Owing to the distance the local fire brigade to render help, and the house was burned to the ground. For the present, the family are staying with the son-in-law, Hugh Robinson. : Public sympathy has been greatly stirred over this misfortune, in view of the effort the McKellar family are making to get ahead. It is something of a coincidence that on Monday the old Orvis store at the corner of White and Princess been mentioned that Alex Kennedy 'was the last merchant tenant of the in. what. was lately the McKellar home. The places are" widely separ- ated, and of course there was no con- nection between the two fires. The: old store, now the 'property of Mr F. Madder; had been converted in- to: a dwelling' house, and was occupied by the son-in-law, Wm. Dempster, 'with' his wife and four children. The alarm' was given about 2.30 Monday afternoon, and the brigade promptly tured: out; but it was obvious that. it would: be: impossible: to save the building. The' only hope was to prevent the fire' from spreading and laying waste that portion of the town. Owing probably to its age, the building burned with great fury, the heat being nearly unbearable at'a dis- tance of twenty yards. The place was one of the oldest structures in Dryden being the first store building erected, and proved one, of the most spectacu- lar fires ever seen. The flames belched {from the west end enveloping the electric light and telephone pole, and _|severing- the wires. Telephone ser- vice has been interruped since as a result, although Sid Bartlett had the electric light wires connected within Despite the desperate efforts of the firemen to get within range, the sight of the splutter of chemical from the end of the hose was farcical so far as the fire itself was concerned, al: though good effect resulted from their work in the protection of nearby buildings. Many of the men barely escaped injury from the intense heat, and still the nozzle could not be got close enough to 'produce any noticeable effect. : Such energy as they displayed de- serves better support from the town, in the shape of better appliances and an effective water supply. All possible assistance should be given the Town Council in heir present endeavour to secure a water system for the Town, and the pitiful showing of Monday last should supply the final argument (if such were needed) for the immed- jate solution of the problem. Mr and Mrs Dempster have taken up their residence for the time being at the Madder home, from whence they can plan to the best of their abil- ity to start all over again, as the loss amounts to everything they possess, although the building itself was in- sured. first to go was the shack west of the] no effective effort could be made byl was. also given to the flames.
