GIBSON, Agent, Dryden For Clean Sport Dear Editor,-- I read with much pleasure your article in last weeks paper, dealing with the organization meeting of the Dryden Amateur Athletic Association, and the preparatons for the coming season of sport. And was pleased to see that they are again prepared to launch forth their efforts and keep the banners of Canada's greatest outdoor sport to the front. The Association is to be con- gratulated upon their selection of officers for the year, and if given prop- er support, together with the execu- tive ability they possess, nothing ean mar the success of the coming season. If one wished to be critical regarding the past season's activities "and good constructive criticism should always be in order," it might be wise to point out, that despite the efforts of the officials in charge of the game, there was much unpleasantness frem a spectators stand point, caused by the continued nagging of the umpires. Also among players and, last but not least, a little too much bad language. This will be ong of the lirst duties of the officials to clean up on this uncalled for condition of affairs, "Bad language has no place in the world of sport," and the player who cannot govern himself as a gentleman has no business on the field, and the game is far better without him. The great American Public are fond of outdoor sports, as is evidenced by the hundred of thousands of people annually atlending games throughout the length and breadth of our country. But they will soon become conspicious by their absence unless the officials and players get together and endeavor to put up a high-class form of amusement and thereby hold the interest and res- pect of the paying public, Let us make this a banner season in Dryden and District, and give us more outside games to keep the boys step- ping keen to see who will make the "All-Star" team. --Yours for clean sport and a Banner year. --A SUPPORTER. DIAMOND DRILLS ON DOME SHOW GOOD RESULTS (Daily News-Chronicle) PORT ARTHUR, April 22.--Diamond drills on the Dome property at Red Lake are down from thirty to sixty feet at three places and the showings are even belter than they were on the surface, This is the latest report from the new mining area as brought out by -§J. Elliott, of the Elliott-Fairchild air service, and given to Geo. Wardrope, of the Red Lake Transportation Com- pany. What it Means-- In elaboration of the statement that diamond drilling has shown improve- ment at depth it might be mentioned that a few days ago Jules S. Bache, President of Dome Mines, Ltd., teld shareholders, at the annual meeting in Toronto, that the surface indications were the best his company had ever encountered at surface on any proper- ty. At that time good values in gold had been found over a length of ap- proximately 930 feet with a width of approximately 60 feet. Dome has already paid in cash on its Red Lake hcldings the sum of $75,- 000, including the original $25.000 paid last fall. If they go through with the option taken for the Howey syndicate, they will have sunk $1,- £00,000 in Red Lake, of which $1,000,- 000 will be in the ground. That the McIntyre people are also well satisfied with what they have un- covered to date is indicated in various ways, says Mr Wardrope, who tells that the company's accountant; Mr Shaw, was called to the property by airplane route a few days ago. Transportation-- Mr Wardrope was in charge of op- erations for the Red Lake Transporta- tion Company during the winter sea- son. While the roads were hard the company operated seventy teams, three Fordson tractors, two motor trucks and a snow motor. The only accident of the season was a few days ago when a tractor fell through the ice and sank in thirty feet of water. It will be raised. This eompany, in which Colonel Kenneth McDougall is also interested, will become active again when the lakes open up for the summer, which is expected to be some time in May. They will put on eight boats and establish three stoppng places. The boats will be gasoline propelled, and the stopping places be- yond Hudson will be Pine Ridge, Pag- wash Lake and Red Lake, Scene of Activity-- Just now movement to and from the mining camp is pretty well suspended, that is in the matter of heavy transport, although the veteran prospector and musher who knows how to handle himself, is still to be seen on the route. Meanwhile Hudson is bustling with activity, It has three hotels, four restaurants, two banks, the Imperial and the Toronto, four warehouses and docks and one hundred tents. "MALARIA GERM CURES PARESIS. DELLAS, Texas, April 21.--The age- long hoplessness of pareties may be turned to hope by the humble malaria germ, The treatment of paresis by infecting the patient with malaria was announc- ed as "an actual discovery of the age," in a lecture at the American Medical Association's convention. Cases considered beyond aid of any other treatment were reported to have been restored to apparent normality. Killed by Train THE mangled remains of a man's body found on the railway tracks early on Sunday morning by a brakeman were sufficient evidence of a tragic occurence during the hours of darkness. Coroner Morison and provincial constable Hake were immediately notified, and took charge of the removal of the body to Anderson & Harris' undertaking rooms where it was identified as 'that of Pete McDougall, a well-known road foreman in the employ of the Northern Devel- opment branch. A Coroner's Jury was immediately summoned who, after viewing the body, proceeded to examine carefully the scene of the occurrence. There were no eye-witnesses to the. affair, but the sad story of the dread happening could be read in the mute bits of evidence scattered along the track between the freight shed where his pipe was picked up nearly to the water tank west of the platform where the body was found, Deceased had evidently attempted to cross the tracks at the station where a freight train was standing, between two cars. The train on which traces of the accident were found later had been engaged in shunting operations shortly after one a.m. When the train pulled ahead, McDougall was caught and evi- dently hung on for some time; when the train reversed to shunt on to the other track, he had dropped down on to the rail,>and twelve freight cars and the engine passed over him, mangling the body, from which the head was totally severed. No blame can attach to the train crew, who were unaware of his presence and. could not see him in the darkness. The movements of Mr McDougall were traced by the police up to mid- night, when he had lunch at the hotel, after which he had gone for a short walk and, it is supposed, was on his way to the hotel when the accident happened. After adjourning for a few days to await the formal medical examination, the jury again met and returned the following verdict: "That Peter M'Dou- gall came to his death accidentally, by being run over by Extra Freight No. 5351 and not otherwise." The Jury were A. A. Gould (fore- man), M. Bailey, F. Russell, W. H. Dingwall, Thos. Cullen, Frank Baker, Thos. Scott, Cyril Durance, Arthur J. Olempson, C. J. Wright, E. A. Klose, Dan. Hutchison. McDougall, who has been working in his district for some years on road he men who worked under him as with hose who knew him in his leisure time, leaves a widow and several grown-up children on his farm near Virden, Man. He was about sixty years of age, and a well set up man, apparently in the rime of life, There is genuine sym- pathy throughout the community here 'or the loss" of a respected citizen as well as for the manner of his tragie taking off. The funeral from Anderson & Harris parlours to Dryden Cemetery was held Thursday afternoon. BEDWORTH, April 20.--The many friends of Arthur Walker are glad to know that he is able to be around again after having had a very success- {ul operation in the Dryden Hospital tor appendicitis. He met with a very rainful accident some weeks ago and while still suffering from the effects was obliged to undergo the operation. PLASTERING and REPAIR WORK DONE. _Apply E.

'ng for over two years, was brought to the hospital a few weeks ago when it was hoped to build up her strength to sustain on operation in the attempt to save her life; but she collapsed under the anasthetic before the operation could be completed. The services of Dr Gibson, F.R.C.S. (Eng.), the famous specialist, had been obtained in the case, which was regarded as unusually tfficult. But in her weakened condition "he ordeal was too much for her.

But, although she had consulted some of the greatest surgeons, she returned on their advice to Canada for the operation.
