Note--We promised a con- tributed article last week for this week's 'issue on the Manitou, and although some might say, we are getting too much Mani- tou, there are those who answer that one cannot get too much of the Manitou. % Well, we went to the Manitou and there were six of ms. Six of varied personalities and yet, so easily classified. Finance 'and shrewd business were represented by H. Humph- reys and Wm. Richardson. Medicine by Dr. Morison and Dr. Gibson. Religion by Alfred Pitt and John Howes. So it was a happy -- from start to finish. Fishing is good only when those who comprise the party are congenial and six people are; only congenial at the effort of sacrifice. It is hard to believe that Wm. Richardson spent four days without uttering a cuss word, but such was the influence of the Rev'd. Howes. It is harder to believe that Alfred Pitt, lived several score hours without a grouch, but such was the influence of H. Humphreys. It is hardest to believe that Dr. Morison spent more than half a week without talking, gall stones, goitres and gangrene. As a matter of fact, we are not asking you to believe this, This will be impossible and so, he and Dr. Gibson, discussed all the diseases from asthma to zy- These doctors simply must live their lives without heed or thought of others. How much nicer," if Mr. H. Humphreys had been allowed to forget that he had nerves. How much nicer, if Mr. Rich- "ardson, had been permitted to forget his bones were brittle. How happy would Alfred Pitt have been, if when he gallantly offered to carry a sixteen foot canoe over a half a mile portage, he had been allowed to do it, and not advised against it be- cause he was too fat. And yet, it was a happy six of young, middle and old age.. * Came the day to take the boat from Wabigoon to Beaudro's Landing. : Three hours of glorious sun- shine, quiet water 'and green scenery.

GIBSON, Agent _@ engine, this was how Dr. Gibson »f Winnipeg drank in the sun- shine, water and scenery. Dr. Morison, speaking of an old mutual friend, "Dr. Galen has become quite a pathogenetist, so I am told." Dr. Gibson, 'I scarcely think so, he is still more of a patholo- gist."' And so on and on for hours while the lovely scenery rushed past them unnoticed. But the remainder of the par- ty, drank in the scenery and something else and the scenery was repaid. % 5 Gone are the glories of the ola Gold Rock Portage., Gone the terrors of six miles of mud. Gone the wasted three hours walking. Now the Merrill truck takes us over in forty minutes and it is still daylight when we catch a glimpse of the village and the arm of the Manitou. And such a supper prepared by Mrs. Merrill. Mr. Richardson reached for the beans several times and the rest of us became tired, politely asking for and passing food to one another. * Came the dawn, and the break- fast gong, and then ho for the fishing. Ten miles down the Upper Manitou, blue water this time and pine scenery, with Doctors Morison and Gibson discussing the respective merits of Insulin and Salphepathica for rheuma- tism. And then Polly Lake and Noonan Lake and some other lake without a name, and of all the days that make one hate to leave this earth and go to Hea- ven, this was the one of joyful sunshine. Several friends, including Chas. Merrill, without a rift of jealousy, envy or malice, each outvieing the other in service. All devoted to one thought, to outwit the bass. And sensing such perfect bliss, the. fish came along hasting to be caught. Home at dark. Did we eat, did we tell each other, did we sleep? Ask the Rev'd J. Howes. * Next day. nature frowned and said, '"'These chaps are too happy, I will try their boosted patience with rain."' (Gently tapping in the morning, fiercely drizzling by noon, great- ly deluging in the afternoon, Pluvius tried his best, but to no avail; we fished and laughed. Ask My. Humphreys if it can rain in the Manitou and he will tell you, like no place on earth, and yet, the day of rain was equal to the day of bright Sun- shine in pleasure and in catch. What are wet clothes when one has the bush skill to light a | fire and dry? A nice regulation fish box full of iced bass came into Wabigeon on I ridagy, the result of our. catch and the various friends in Dryden have enjoyed them, fried and boiled. We are home blithely singing, ¢"Here's to the Manitou, land of wish, Ho! for the Manitou, it's lakes full of fish, Jackfish and muskie, and bass, Drink to the Manitou, cone, fill up your glass." Board of Trade? Is a Board of Trade necessary in Dryden? Many of us think it is, and in order that the ques- tion may he decided, a meeting will be held in the Council Chamber on Wednesday evening, September 9th, at 8 p.m. All who are interested in sec- ing a live Board of Trade organ- ized in- Dryden are urged to _piek'rel attend.

Neely, a well known resident of Dryden and Oxdrift died at her home here last Friday morning, been in apparent good health. The late Mrs. Neely, who be- fore her marriage was Edna I. Salton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Salton of Oxdriit, was just 43 years of age. The Salton family was one of the first to settle at Oxdrift and Mrs. Neely was very well known in that community where she had always been actively asso- ciated with the United Church Ladies' Aid and Sunday School as well as prominent in Wom- en's Institute work. About two years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Neely and family moved from Oxdrift to Dryden where they have re- gided on the Pulp Mill Farm. Besides her husband Mrs. Neely leaves to mourn her loss five children; William Ernest, Edna Lillian, Clarence Edgren, Emily Gertrude, and Edward Dixon, and her parents Mr. and Mrs. A. Salton, Oxdrift, and three sis- ters, Mrs W. Pollard, Mrs. R. Pollard and Mrs. S. Richardson. The utmost sympathy of every- one is extended to the bereaved relatives. The funeral, the most Targely attended ever held in the dis- trict, was held from the United Church, Oxdrift, on Sunday, Rev. J. W. Howes conducting the service. Burial tock place at the Oxdrift Cemetery.

THE NORTH TURNS FROM DIVISION TO A HELPFUL CO- OPERATION The most impressive feature fo the organization meeting of the General Council of the north was the wide representation it drew from practically every section across 900 miles of terri- tory. One hundred and ten dele- cates registered,--almost double the number of those expected. Nine * tenths of the north wag represented in some form,--or lacking that sent its endorsation, --with the rather startling sult that about 70 per cent. of the people north of the French River lent their support. The new organization thus can fair- ly claim that it speaks as the voice of New Ontario. The next most outstanding fea- ture of yesterday's gathering was its spirit of cooperation. A couple of times there were chances of serious clashes, with resultant wreck. But the good sense of the delegates prevented a rift which would ruin a move- ment upon which so large a part of the north had set its hopes. There was a fine spirit of give and take, and a tolerance that was new. Sudbury and Rainy River gave a fine exhibition of the new spirit in composing their road differences; and this unex- pected outcome gave all the- delegates assurance for the fut- ure, When the lion and the lamb can lie down together something has plainly happened. When rival districts in New Ontario can make up their minds to pull together, we can have hepes for a new day in the north. The new spirit will mean pro- gress. A body which will seek to promote the general good in the north is a new manifestation of a progress toward goodwill. There is to be a new north, and the CQeneral Council is its prophet--Soo Daily Star. ANNOUNCEMENT The marriage of Mr. John Kolthoff Lund of Dyment, Ont. and Miss Emma Bortne of Dry- den will take place in the Unit- ed Church, Dryden, on Thursday 24th, 1931, at 2 rer o'clock.

Three picked teams will partici- pate and games will be played as follows: at two o'cloeck Whit- ing's Elks will play Wabigoon and the winner of this event will play Adair's Tigers at four o'- clock. There is much speculation as to the outcome of the final game. This has been an interes- ting season of baseball and the winning of the cup will be no mean accomplishment. In the evening under the aus- pices of the Baseball Club, a dance will be held in the Pulp Mill Hall from 9 till 12.830. No lunch will be served so the ad- mission will be only 50 cents. Russell's.
