THE Disappointment. that will be felt among the farming Communities of the Dryden District will be modified by the satisfaction of having so nearly won the seat. In a riding where the farmers are not in a majority even in their own party, it is a matter pride that their candidate so nearly achieved victory. That they had the measure of success they had, is due greatly to the I support of those labourites who worked with them in the campaign. While the returns were being given out at the Theatre, the early returns raised the hopes of the Kennedy sup- porters to a high pitch of excitement; but the late reports from Port Arthur dashed their expectations. : Although the final figures are not yet in, the probabilities point a margin in favor of Keefer, Conservative, al- dewn his lead. through, and has resulted in the rural districts going strong for the Pro- of about 1200 outside of Port Arthur. Mr Keefer polled a large vote in Port Arthur and Keewatin, with a surpris- ing number from the disrict generally; while Mr, McComber, (Liberal) drew most of his support from Port Arthur and Schrieber. The vote in the main was a heavy one, except in Dryden, about two hyn: dred failed to visit the poll. A report from Port Arthur states!

The December meet ing will be held on the 15th, to allow time for preparations to me made for Mayor Pitt occupied the chair. A great mess of business was handl- ed in an expeditious manner, in- cluding matters of unusual interest to Citizens. Under this head would be included such questions as the new School by-law, and the application of Contact Bay Mines Limited, for a supply of hydro-electric power. Regarding the new School, a by-law was ordered to be prepared®to permit a vote of ratepayers to be taken on the new School. The Notice regarding the By-law will be found on the back page of this issue, with the'question to be voted upon. Hydro Development The question of power was introduced by the reading of a letter from Con- tact Bay Mines Limited, which is pub- lished below. The Clerk was in- structed to write the Company regard- ing the matter. The question is chiefly interesting from he facts disclosed as to the great developments at the mines with the bright prospects they reveal. The Contact Bay Company, have al- ways been distinguished for the re- straint and moderation of their state- ments, and the present announcement is made for the purpose of their ap- plication to the Council .and not for advertising effects. The letter follows i= Rochester, N.Y, November 19, 1921. Mayor Alfred Pitt, Dryden. Dear Mr Pitt,--The results of the development of our mining property are such as to justify us in proceeding to the erection of a hundred ton mill When the development pplan now under way is completed we expect there will be disclosed and blocked out a sufficient millable ore supply for at least two years' operation of the mill. Furthermore, the extensive vein system on our Bonanza and Self claims, and the surface showing, seem to make it probable that ultimately a mill capable of handling' at least five hundred tons a day will be fully justi- fied. the selection of a Council for 1922 ordi (authorizing the issuance of bonds to cover the cost of the hydro power de- Dryden May Develop Waler Power It is my understanding that de Town of Dryden is the owner of an undeveloped water power in which can be developed several thousand horse power, and that a by-law or ordinance has been voted by the Town velopment. If the Town is ready to proceed with - that - enterprise, this Company is prepared to make a con- tract for the furnishing to i as soon as possible of sufficient hydro electric power to operate our power plant and mill, and to pay for such reasonable compensation. It is my understanding that the power devel- opment proposed by the Town will afford much more power than the needs of the Town will require. I am not prepared to advise definitely as to the quantity of power his: Company will need, bu will obtain that informa- tion if you or the Town authorities so desire at the earliest possible moment and advise. Mr Harris, the contractor on the development work, can proba- bly give you a pretty close estimate of the amount of power we would need for a hundred ton mill, and for our development and other work, and he can also probably estimate the total power required for additional milling units up to five hundred or one thou- sand tons milling capacity per day. I feel that the Town of Dryden ought to do whatever it consistently can to aid and ensure the extensive development on our property, partic- ularly in view of 'the fact that the carrying out of the plan I have out- lined will result in giving to the Town a substantial income from the sale of the hydro-electric power it may de- -| velop. I would thank you to take this matter up with th peroper authorities and to furnish me at your earliest convenience zll available information regarding the mattre. Very truly yours, J. N. BECKLEY, President. The Mayor's Reply Dear Mr Beckley: -- I have yours of the 19th, inst. and I am fillng this with the Town Clerk for discussion at the next meeting. It will take me altogether $00 long to go ino he details of our power. Generally speakin, the Town has control of this power, but as the The question of power is a most important one. We have contracted for the delivery of from twelve to fifteen hundred cords of wood, and Mr Riley is proposing to get such addi- tional wood supply contracted for as will give us sufficient fuel for com- plete operation of power and milling plant down to the end of 1922. But 1 it is impracticable to depend on wood as a permanent fuel supply. We must either make our arrangements ultiy- . mately for oil burning boilers: or for . hydro-electric power. development will cost lpwards of a hundred thousand dollars, until some definite proposition is in sight, I am afraid the difficulty of finance is pretty great. It goes without saying that pour de- velopment, and the use of power in the Mining District secures the favor- able commendation of the Ratepayers, but these are days of caution. However, we will take the matter up, and give you the Councils reply. Sincerely Yours if op A.
