DAITER'S New & Second Hand Store Highest Pail ELLIS--HOLMSTROM Charles Fillis, schoolteacher at Wab- Prices From the D. Reid's brother, in Dryden on a visit after an absence of about sixteen years spent in the west. « Mr Reid, who 1s himself a farmer, has a large veterinary practice, and proved rather interesting in his com-~ ments on the changes he had observed since leaving Dryden. Outside + The town itself has of course gr own) out of all recognition since he saw it. But, the extent he expec cted. Why this is} !'so would be hard to explain. Point, ; the very fertility of the soil, by res {ricting the . necessity for EA cultivation to sustain existence, has somewhat paradoxically been a con- tributing factor. cultivated land on the farms is surprisingly low. surrounding his veterinary. experience, that this should be a suitable country for stock. The abundance of feed and water, as compared to the prairie, should en- courage a greafer development of mixed farming. ' Two registered sires, a Clydesdale and a Belgian horse, which he owns, are now in Dick Trist's barn, and are being offered for sale. : W. W. French, of Minnitaki, pro- tests that five permits are issued in a promiscuous manner, and that irres- ponsible people are given to letting fires go when they are granted such permit, without proper understanding of the danger, and contrary to thei spirit of the permit itself. He claims that the C.P.R. is liable and does actu- Hy pay compensation where damage g done by them. But where fires are eg for clearing or other purposes, it is nearly always impossible to fix 'responsibility. He further declares | that it is unnecessary to risk clearing by fire at this time of year, since the {land could not be used this summer, and burning in the late fall would not delay its use. { He named at least a dozen farmers in his neighbourhood, including him- self, who have suffered considerable loss and damage in the last few weeks§ Tand thinks that they and others in {like situation could be protected by | more rigid control over the issuance "of fire permits. : i ry vy | Cadet Drill:-- Dryden Cadets, No. 1049 paraded on i the school grounds Wednesday, where they were inspected by. Lieut. Wall 'of the Princess Pats, physical instrue- "tor on the staff at the Winnipeg gar- rison. i The object of the cadets is of course -. non-military, the interest of the boys 'being directed towards physical train- ing, and the advantages of united ac- tion and conduct The ins Sa selected three boys, Arthur Clempson, Reggie Dixon and Verne Campbell to put the boys through their drill, and was highly pleased with the result. In a. short address he described the evolutions as highly creditable, and commended. to the boys the virtue of courage, loyalty and devotion to hay Gis THE PLEASANT HOUR "NEHEMIAH, the Bold Builder" is the subject for discussion at the Adult ass of the Union Church on Sunday morning.
