His analysis of the new municipal body reveals that the three divisions of the Town are fairly repre- sented: two Councillors from the Mill; two whose it pay are agricultural, and reflect the opinion f the surrounding district; and two strictly Town men, directly representing Town opinion. Te feels that, having done our duty in regard 55H [0 the Mill in tax exemption for the past ten years, we are now entering on a new era with increased revenue, and from now on the gradual betterment 1 {of Dryden should attract notice. The new School, when built, will remove from us Ln once the appearance of a country village, d this, in turn, will force consideration of water, fire o protecteion, and side-walks. These, perhaps, | cannot all come at once, but it should be the duty of every citizen of Dryden to help, by constructive sdvice and personal service, to make his home Town one to be proud of, and. well worth living in. J. B. Beveridge Predicts Big | Deaelopment in New Year row that any opinion of mine would be pt to the general public, and it is not our i policy to inflict our views upon other people. owever, it may be true that in appealing to the ymmon sense of the citizens of Dryden regarding The election the other day, I have obligated myseli 0 some extent in regard to the result," said Mr J. 3. Beveridge, vice- -president and general mana- er of the Dryden Paper Company, to a request i) or an expression of his views for publication. I might say that while as a citizen with a large 'ment in Dryden, the personel af the Council ses considerable interest for me, there are | strong reasons why the election this year was a ter of special concern tous. It is important to avery business of any size to pogsess the goodwill of the community wherever it ig located, and as 1 pointed out at the nomination meeting, since the Town holds control of Wainwright Falls and the Company is in a position to develop them; and as both the Town and Mill would be benefitted by development, it would suggest itself to any ne an opportunity for co-operation between Pa he ai ne turally, the return of a majority of can- lidates whose known views were unfavorable to our inte erests would be interpreted as a general axpression of unfriendliness tous. But generally speaking, I believe the new Council is broad nough to entertain our proposition for develop- ment, and we expect the result will be of tremen- dous importance to the Town of Dryden. While our efforts are directed primarily to the up-building of the paper-making industry, we are not regardless of their effect on the gen- oral welfare; and I hope we can be forgiven if otimes we indulge a little satisfaction in be- g that we may have done something toward rthering the progress of this town and district. 5 | Box Chocolates=des!

An unfortunate hunting accident happened here Thursday, a bullet fired by 'Mr O. Keen penetrating the neck of his son-in-law, Mr H. Hesse while hoth.were in the bush after game. Fortunately the wound is not a dan- gerous one, although the young man had a narrow escape. - Mr Keen, who is terribly upset by the affair, was unaware that his son-in-law was in the neighbourhood at the time. The two are among the recent arrivals of settlers from the U.S. Oxdrift Unin Church Sunday School held its annual meeting last Wednes- day night, when the work of 1921 was ceviewed, and officers for 1922 were appointed.

Be ) The annual Children's Concert was given heére on the 22nd. And by the remarks flying around, it was one of the biggest and best ever witnessed. in Wabigoon. 'The fancy drills especi- ally called for deafening applause. Club swinging by a group of children was the cleverest item, and something new. A duet by Misses B. Robinson and M. Betts was worthy of favorable note. The Misses J. and E. Holmstrum sang "Peggy O'Neil," whilst Mr V. Nordrum, Mr R. Norman and Mr C. Betts sang the beautiful and touching melody "In Room 202." After the entertainment the child- ren were presented with gifts by Father Christmas. Refreshments were most enjoyable timemost served.

The home of Mr A. N. Wallin, just be- yond Chase Park had been set ablaze by a defective chimney. Due perhaps to the severe frost, a hose coupling broke when they started operations, and greatly hampered them in their work, by practically putting the engine out of commission. efforts on the part-of the firemen who, after emptying the well, carrie in snow to supress the flames, th = ing is a complete loss.
