His latest is the cute little Star Coupe from Dryden District Motor Company. Mr H. C. Buchner attended the Bap- tist convention of Thunder Bay district when he opened the afternoon program with an address on "The power of service." Waterworks by September First THE last obstacle to the immediate construction of the waterworks system in Dryden was removed when a letter was read by Mr J. E. Gibson Clerk, to a special meeting of the Council, Tues- day night, and confirmed by that body. As a consequence, arrangements for immediate construction are now pro- ceeding. It was the general opinion of Coun- cil that the work should be carried out by the waterworks committee, Coun. Ripley (chairman), Coun. Klose and Gould, who are already familiar with the preliminaries so far undertaken, and who had charge of construction of the nucleus of the system now supply- ing the hospital and public school. J. S. Wilson of the Dryden Paper Co. has been retained as engineer of con- struction and is already engaged work- ing out the details. As soon as the necessary material is on the ground, and a competent foreman engaged, digging will commence. In view of present conditions, while there is not the slightest idea of doling out favours to anybody, Council unani- mously accepted Mayor Pitt's express desire, vigorously supported by Coun. Klose, to limit the jobs as far as pos- sible to applicants who are residents of the Town. This will go far to obviate any possible hardship that might arise while the mill is shut down. ok kok THE decision to proceed with a scheme involving the investment of $30,000.00 which appears considerable for a Town the size of Dryden, apart from its im- portance from standpoint of sanitation and health; is further made practicable at this time by the assurance of large revenue from the C.P.R. in its require- ments of an abundant supply of pure water for its engines at this point. To delay construction for any reason be- yond the present year would compel that Corporation to instal a separate system of its own, which would be detrimental to the best interests of the Town for years to come. The present agreement between the Town and the railway Company is the fruit of long negotiations between the Council and the Company's officials, and is expected to operate to the best advantage of both. In a clipping from the Toronto Star sent by an Oxdrift correspondent, the name of Howard W. Strappe appears in a list of mine young men ordained for the Methodist ministry at Toronto Conference. This should be of interest to Dryden and Oxdrift communities, where Mr Strappe worked so faithfully as student missionary two years ago. ao Sion this i is e story of proper destroy 4 od. by Fite Evo Ta policy in THE HOME INSURANCE COMPANY protects against financidl loss Represented by J.

But on no occasion has it surpassed in interest and animation the scene of last Friday when a stream of autos conveyed the party of friends and well-wishers who attended the miscellaneous Shower given by Mrs Whitely, following the announcement of the wedding on June 25th next of Miss Edith, daughter of Mr and Mrs John Hardie of Dryden, to Percy T. Hake, of the provincial police. : After a short interval spent in view- ing the great gush of water at the powerhouse (the source of light and power for Dryden's homes and indus tries), the visitors assembled at the Whitely residence, where in the course of a very pleasant evening the devoted couple were overwhelmed with the shower of splendid presents piled in two big baskets. Mr Whitely, the host, made the pre- Post Office Strike Eastern Canada is tied up by a postal strike. From the lakes west, post office employees may be called out any time.
