Campbell, in association with @ number of other local men is making a strong effort te establish a dairy in the town of Dryden. The advantages to the town and district are so obvious as to hardly need mention. Public opinion, especially among those engaged in agriculture, is ripe for acceptance of such a proposal; as a matter of fact, it has for years been a question with many why a dairy was not established here long ago. The great productiveness 'of this district has been denied its full reward by the distance to important markets! and the consequent heavy freight charges, resulting at times in valuable crops going to decay because they could not be marketed except at a loss. The establishment of a good dairy would do more to compensate for this disadvantage than any other known plan. No part of Canada is better Rev. P. C. adapted to the keeping of Bays, Anglican, W. L.

The committee who organised the nce for the benefit of the community hall fund at Oxdrift last Friday scored a splendid success. The attraction of the Gammon orchestra brought a big bunch from Dryden as well as a large number from other other point includ- ing places as far apart as Waldhof and Wabigoon. Everybody had a whopping big time and the varied programme gave every- body a dance The same orchestra has already been engaged for another dance in the, Oxdrift hall on Thurs- day the 30th of August.

The Final Word TOMORROW, Saturday the 18th of August is the date appointed for tak- | ing the vote on the Bylaw prepared at the request of the Dryden Paper Co., giving that Company a fixed assess- ment for this year. The request and the reasons for the request were fully set forth in our last week's issue, and as the case is sub judice we will reserve comment for the present, merely graph from the letter of last week: "The success of this Company vit- ally affects every employee; and the prosperity of Dryden, its merchants and residents generally is bound up with the prosperity of the Mill. We feel that the ratepayers will not knowingly add anything to the diffi- culties of the present management in its efforts to place the operations of the Plant on a successful basis." @ £3 ° © Diaorwic Picnic ~ DINORWIC, Ont--A sunday schoo! picnic was held on Tuesday the 17th at Mrs Rhind's Creek-side.

Myr Jack Greenwood returned on Thursday from Vancouver where he has spent seven weeks vacation. ALL HANDS ON ROADS. Mr Edit In a letter of your issue of August 10th by Myr W. W. French, he indirect- : ly invites public criticism. I therefore will submit you my view on it. As to the "wide road". That Mr, French thinks a road 20-feet wide as {it is done around this district where- ever are any made too wide? does Mr French think that $3.50 for hand labour and $6.50 for teamwork 90. for a 10-hour day on Government roads is high wages compared with! the high cost of living of today? And does he think agriculture is encourag- quoting one para-{. Monday 'IT'S GOOD IF And' I can tell Mr | French that people get discouraged | of growing anything at all on account | .. of having no roads to get the proper | machinery on their place. This is what hinders agricultural production | and not the settlers working on the roads as is invaribly the gase if a man {is not too selfish to help the general | ; welfare of the community. I say, all hands on settlement roads where we can get in and out with | machinery and to market facilities' and - after this, and not before, will "agriculture flourish. But if Mr French means by the wide road, the eastern Ontario high-! ways which are cut out 86 feet, I agree with him that-it is money un-, necessarily: spent, but then why does! he not say so. He misleads people to! think that it is our settlement roads which are too wide. And as to the second part of his letter regarding taxes, I will say that, up to now a very unjust tax system | is in use as far as municipalities are | i =i | i concerned. Namely, the party who! does improvement on his land or build ings, has to pay a fine in the form of | increased taxes. Now that is not right to my thinking. The party who does not make improvements on his or her ' land should pay the higher taxes. There ave, in several townships, land- holders, which were granted to vet- | erans of the South African War, which! have never done a thing to their hold- ings and only hold them for specula- tion. pay the higher taxes and this would! i put their thinking caps on and proba-' ! bly sell it to another party at a reason- able price who will work said land. As it is, these Veteran Lands are only | a nuisance and hindrances to the welfar of fire traps. Thanking you, Mr Editor, for the space in your greatly improved paper. - I remain yours truly E. G.
