The Kenora Examiner Says-- Up to last Saturday the editor of the Examiner has always read with the greatest of pleasure the interesting and clever articles appearing in the Dryden Observer, and with a good deal of satisfaction we occasionally repyo- duced in our paper some of the best articles. : Last week, however, we were very much surprised to read a column and a half of stuff headed "The Highway Fad" and signed Iconoclast. Brother Collison came to Dryden about five years ago and took over the Observer in a very much run-down condition. By steady work and fairly clever brain he has made the paper a potent force to be reckoned with in the district; but we fear he badly spilled the beans by that article which prac- tically condemns the highway"--and so on, for which t'anks brother Wyde- man. Jimmy Jumps the Track-- Dear editor--In acknowledgement oi and in reply to the article of the Ken- ora "Examiner," may I add my little opinion to that of Iconecclast, who ap- pears to have annexed the Examiner's "Angora"! So far as we know, no one contem- plates any farin on the proposed road were it completed temorrow, and the only one already located on the route is our coloured friend Frank Hazel- wood, who manages to cycle to Dinor- wic on the existing trail, and who is satisfied therewith. Mere verbal effervescence aside, we invite the Examiner to expound any concrete need of such a road, Tell us, Jimmy: Have you some El Dorado in that part of the country-- some mountain 'of gold with bits of quartz in it which you yearn to sell at a song as soon as the road goes in? Perhaps you have got a Ford, and crave mileage! In any case, why jump the here for daring fellow's opinion. Your Press may not be free: den's is; arm.
