In 1e contact with indivduals of other and similar communities each town and distfict must ben- efit in the widening of understan- ding and broadening of vision. The problems and opportunities of all these western districts are much alike. All are possessed of great variety of timber, mineral and agricultural wealth; all are blessed with great possibilities in undeveloped water powers, and only need exploitation to attract the most desirable colonists, Since the real aim of life is to increase the number of happy and prosper- ous human creatures, it may well be said that the future of Western Ontario is full of the promise of Breat good for civilization. Many of us will live to see the day when an immense population of pros- perous -and contented people dwell in peace and plenty where once but a handful of redskins pitched their wigwams on these Canadian plains. ONE YEAR ago this month there was held at Dryden the fir€t con- vention of representatives from all sections of that great part of On- tario that lies north of the U. S. from the Great Lakes to the bor- der of our sister province, Mani- toba. The purpose of that confer- ence was to discuss the feasibility of constructing a great coloniza- tion highway from the head of the lakesto Winnipeg, and resulted in the formation of the Central Can- ada Colonization and Highway Association, : This week saw a second and far greater Convention under the aus- pices of that Association, consist- ing of those who are interested in the developmert of Central Can- ada. At the invitation of the pres- ident, Alfred Pitt of Dryden, there was gathered at the city hall, Fort William, and received as guests of the twin cities, the biggest aggre- gation of delegates from all the public service bodies of this rapid- ly developing section of the Dom- inion that has ever gathered~for any purpose, In thé short period between the two conventions was anything accomplished that was worthy of the time, the energy and money that was expended to bring these people together? The matter of the 'Highwas~has been brought to the attention of the two provincial governments; and some progress has been achieved in the making of surveys of part of the route; much useful information has been secured, and the favorable consid- eration of the two provinces is assured, together with the finan- cial backing necessary to build the vond. on ed Da But the real progress has been WALDHOF C.

Fitz and daughter Martha, were visitors in Winnipeg this week and were accompained home by Arthur Fitz who has just re- turned from Sask., where he spent the summer. And communities advance with the growth of their ideas. Already the scheme which almost seemed ert at its inception has be- come simply the central feature of a far greater purpose -- the up- building and development of a greater Central Canada. Where a year ago we were only a scatter- ing of isolated groups striving each after its own petty affairs, wé have become a community with a singleness of consciousness 'and, purpose that is as powerful as itis utfited, = : The great achievement of the Convention was the forming of a Union of Municipalities for the districts of Kenora, Rainy River and Thunder Bay. This body will substitute a continuous, well defined policy for the disunited, spasmodic cfforts that have dis- counted our attempts at better- ment in the past. With men like N. M.

The Dance given under the Auspices of the Waldhof En- tertainment Club, turned out to be a great success. The School House is quite a size, in spite of} this it was crowded with people from Vermillion Bay, Kenora and Eagle River.
