Dryden this month, in preparation for the development that every good look, is merely providing an opporm citizen hopes and works for. The re-adjustment period, far from de- pressing our citizens or dulling 'their outlook, is merely prov.ding an oppor- days to come. The temporary closing of the big concern to. us all, and must affect every business in town and district to a greater or less degree. It is to be hoped that the expected return of Mr J. B. Beveridge from Montreal by the beginning of next week will improve the situation, and offer some solution of the present deadlock. In the mean- time the employees are spending their unwelcome holiday attend.ng to their gardens, and doing other ne.essary jobs. Many are employed by neigh- bouring farmers clear.ng land, while a few others have found employment Pitt's Butcher Shop has removed to The Dryden Observer - has also changed its quarters, and is now located in the M'Nea Building, on Queen Street. Tommy Walters made a quick trip to Winnipeg this week. He was sue- cessful in disposing of his summer cottage at Winnipeg Beach, which will enable him to concentrate his attention wholly on his business in Dryden. Hd. Dawkins of Grandview Dairy has taken over the milk route of Wi Tew, who sold out lately. Those who desire aregular supply of good milk are invited to send him a post card, with their name and address clearly written, and the will receive immed- iate attention, Robt. Miller, who lately bought the Latimer Building including the But-. business interests. This week he has purchased the Ice-Cream Parlour, chocolate and confectionery stock and equipment of The Dryden Pharmacy, which he will instal in the east side of his big store. The assurance of excellent service when he opens next week will be seen when the young men about town learn whom he has engaged to satisfy their fastidious regirements in the soft drinks and ice cream parlour. The J. R. Booth Co., of Ottawa, have agreed with their employees to continue operation of their b g paper pending the outcome of negotiations between the manufacturers' and or- ganized labour. This arrangement is highly satisfactory to both parties as it secures to them a continuance of income while future agreements are being drawn up. INCREASED DEMAND for LAND. An increasing demand for informa tion regarding land settlement by the public is reported by the Department of the Interior at Ottawa. This in- creased interest is attributed partly to the fact that Crown Lands in Wes- tern Canada within fifteen miles of a railway, which heretofore have been reserved for returned men, became available for civilian entry on May the 1st this year. In their endeavour to find suitable locations, prospective homesteaders or purchasers will find of marked value the dual service which the De- partment of the Interior through its Natural Resources Intelligence branch is in a position to render. WILL WOMEN FORM 'A NEW POLITICAL PARTY? inson Keyes, that the time has past for a woman's party, and a national party must come in its place. To quote from her article in May "Good Housekeeping," "In my opinion the hardwron victory can never bring about the greatest results until men and wonaen begi to do political work mot as antagon- ists, but as partners. We have for years blamed men--and justly so, I am beginning to feel--because they would not let us work with them; and now, if we refuse to let them work with us, will we show any better spirit than they -have done-- than they are still doing, Ey might of Tecktonius silos. cher shop, is already extending his} It is the opinion of Frances Park- wife of Senator Keyes, "McDonald Service" The name of Dryden is becoming more widely known every day, and the high quality of the produce of its farms is attracting ever greater at- tention in the world outside. On another page you will find the announcement of the McDonald Lum- ber Yards Ltd. in connection with the opening of their yard here. This is an occasion of considerable interest to those in Dryden and dis- trict. The McDonad Yard is well equipped, with a good stock of lumber and other material for building, and we fully believe that customers will find McDonald Service all that they could desire. At this time, when the highly suc- cessful experiments of F. T. Brignall of Oxdrift have shown the great value of sunflowers for silage, and many other farmers are considering whether they would be well advised to put in a few acres of sun-flowers, it wil be of interest to learn that the McDonald Co. are making a specialty They also have on hand a few bushels of Mammoth Russian sun-flower seeds, and a grea' deal of information which is available to farmers. Anyone interested is in- vited to call on their manager, Ear! Fahey, and discuss the matter with him, OC (RG EE-()-GEE-(- SI Bereavement Much sympathy was felt last week when word was received of the sud- den death of Frances, wife of Mr Sidney Bartlett, of Dryden. About two weeks ago she was taken to the General Hospital at Winnipeg, where she had to undergo a delicate opera- tion. She was reported to be doing well, but apparently had collapsed from shock in her weakened condition and she passed away on Tuesday last. She was brought to Dryden early Thursday morning, service being held in St Luke's Church Thursday after- noon. Rev. Mr Roy officiated. After the service the - Dryden Cemetery was attended by a large number of townspeople. The Great War Veterans provided pall- bearers: Harry Franklin, A. J. Lock, Geo. Hunter, and H. M. Davidson. Many beautiful wreaths were sent by the large circle of friends and nre'gh- bours by whom she was loved and respected. CARD OF THANKS. Mr Sidney Bartlett and members of the family desire to express their deep appreciation of thé kindness and sympathy shown to them in their bereavement. EO AEE (GIT () GERD GER) -GIES wah BIRTHDAY PARTY Tor one week, beginning May the 8th, ex-Mayor A. R. Hutchison was at home to his friends. The occasion was the 71st sImiversary of his birth- day. In the case of a man so well known and popular as Andy Hutchison, it would not be possible to receive the congratulations of well-wishers in anything less than a week. To do him justice, he did his best to hold it quietly, but nothing could withstand the pressure of good wishes that were showered upon him. Least of all could the big heart of Andy Hut- chison refuse to acknowledge the warmth and sincerity of the big cir- cle of visitors who called on him. It would be against all the traditions of seventy-one years of a life spent in the closest social intimacy with those who have the privilege to call them- selves his neighbours. In many ways Andy retains the habits of thought of old times. Te him the community is merely an ex- tension of the family. He still be- longs to the period when the raising of a barn was the call to everyone to get in and bear ahand -- when the needs of a neighbour was an obliga- tion and a privilege to help. Still robust and wonderfully active it is the sincere wish of all that the big, commanding figure of Andy be long spared to watch over the growth and development of Dryden -- the town of which he himself was one of the founders.

Heenan EE PETER HEENAN, "M.P.P. paid a short visit to Dryden lastWednesday. Mr Heenan shows traces of the; efforts he has made lately on Lehalf; of the Provinee, and especially this' District, in the session jst ended. but is as keen and energetic as ever. For the next month he will give attention to any pressing matters brought to his notice, but will seek opportunity to recuperate ag much as possible in the bracing air of his home district. Some time in June he will be able to visit Dryden district once more, and will be glad to hold a public meeting of his constituents, and con- sider matters in which they are specially interested. Owing to the shortness of the notice given, many were disappointed in not being able to hear their repre- sentative, but on his next visit it is hoped better arrangements will be made for his Tecepiion. In response to an invitation from J. H. Hill, president of the I.B.P.S. & P.M.W., Mr Peter Heenan, M.P.P., visited Dryden on Wednesday last, and addressed a short meeting in the evening. - In opening his remarks he expres- sed regret to find that industrial troubles existed in Dryden. It was, however, but a reflex of world con- ditions. It was a time for calmness, prudence, and caution for all. | He outlined the facts of the fight for the power control of the waters of Western Ontario. He declared it was out of the question. that any Government of this Province would ever be allowed to legislate the rights of the Province outside of the control of Ontario: It was his opinion that although the Drury Government had done more for this part of the Prevince than any previous government, it had yet mch to do before Western Ontario had received its proportionate share of support from Toronto to develop its great possibilities. The opportun- ities and resources of the section west of the Great Lakes were not yet fully recognised. The revenues from Western Onta- rio were behind the guarantees that helped to give hydro-development, radial railways and good roads to the older sections of Ontario. What he wanted was not to restrict the bene- fits to the east, but to urge the co- operation of the people of Western Ontario, so that they might secure corresponding advantages to assist in their development. Good roads, for instance, were essential to progress, and so long as he represented the Kenora District in the legislature, so long would he strive for proper recog- ition of their needs from the govern- ment. Mr Robt. Wachman, president of the Wachman Mining Co. is again in Town, after spending the winter at the head office in Chicago. He has left matters so well arranged down there, that he declares he will now take up his permanent residence in Dryden, until the richness of the Wachman Mines here have been com- pletely demonstrated. Mrs Wachman will arrive shortly, and will make her home here, to be with her husband. The tremendous expenditure: of money and energy which the Wach- man Mine represents, considering the short time since it was opened, is a revelation to those who are experi- enced in the obstacles that have to be overcome. The great organizing ability and energy of Mr Wa hman have been taxed to the uttermost to achieve these results, and now it is hoped that the reward for his efforts will soon be in evidence. He has secured the services of Mr Powell, one of the foremost as well as one of the most successful of min- ing engineers. Mr Powell's name is associated with some of the most noted gold mines on this continent. Mr E. G. Rognon, of Contact Bay Mines, Ltd., returned from Rochester and New York city last week. He reports the financial situation as ver reserved, but improving. He has been very successful in his mission, however, and predicts a busy season at the mines. These have been partially closed lately, but now a considerable staff 'is steadily em- ployed there. welcome. say." Ey mbes [rns Mr Rognon will return to the east in about two weeks: to complete his business, after which he 'will devote hig: personal attention to the develop- : ment of the mines, where many men 2.4 MOVING PICTURES AT -- WRIGHT.
