The representative of the Credit Men's Association, Mr Smith of Winn- ipeg, was present and assured them that he had thoroughly examined the position of the two stores, and was if the shareholders had the necessary cour- age to go ahead. He would guarantee as the shareholders showed faith in their own business. After a lucid statement from the new manager, the president, Mr F. T. Brignall took the lead in increasing | his number of shares, which example was followed by most of those present. A cheerful and hopeful air possessed the meeting, and no doubt was felt of 'the ultimate success of the business under the new management. It is only necessary that action be prompt, and the Co-operative will soon reach an enviable position as a successful concern.

'This step is likely to meet the approval of citizens who are anxious for some abatément of the unherded dog nuisance in town. Some regret is even expressed that the council did |e not fix a flat rate of $25.00 apiece for these useless and often troublesome vagrants. The clerk was instructed to reply to the letter of Mr Sherwood about the separation from the Dryden School would resist any effort of Wainwright to separate. A reply has been dent to J. J.

Something like a record has been claims by the prompt action of the Sun Fire Insurance Co. in the case of the M'Kellar fire.

Mrs M'Kellar, whose home was destroyed by the fire, was enthusiastic in her appreciation of the prompt settlement. ®The Paradis claim, from Quibell, has also been settled by the paying over of $1,000 to the victims of fire. Adjustment of the Thompson fire at Ignace was also made without delay. All these cases were dealt with by Insurance Companies who are repre- sented in this district by Mr D. Lane, Dryden.
