The death of Mrs Walter Davies, an old resident of Dryden, occurred last week, following a long illness. Inter- ment took place at Fort William last Saturday. Auto owners are seriously annoyed over expensive tire punctures caused by tacks placed on the roadway down Bedworth way. Older residents of that ' ' fax Chief, will stand at Trist's livery stable after Monday next. The summer | part who appreciate the harmful re- action of the practice on Bedworth it- self, ave co-operating in an effort to catch the offender. E. G. Rognon, lately returned from Rochester, N.Y., is highly pleased with developments at Contact Bay mines. The Anglo-Canadian Explorers Ltd. have secured the option on a valuable group of claims directly south of here, just west of the Manitou. A new cross-cut is being made at the 400-£t. level at the Bonanza. At the Wachman mine operation is being concentrated on shaft No. 1, where a separate boiler and compres- sor plant have been installed for the purpose of sinking the shaft deeper. We learn on reliable authority that John Taylor & Co. of London, England, the largest gold mining operators in the world, who were active here twenty years ago, are once again heavily in- terested in some claims in the Dryden area. The Financial Post, one of Toronto's biggest newspapers, in an 80-page special editicn issued last month, gives full particulars of the mining and other possibilities of this district. Besides a whole illustrated page tell- ing of Dryden district and its produce it gives authoritative information re- garding the future of gold mining in this area. $70,000,000 a year are being pro- duced from the mines in Ontario, and all surface indications here are similar to those existing in the richest mining districts of the province. Continuance of the scientific methods now employed at Contact Bay must some day result in locating a highly-remunerative vein of the high-grade ore that is continu- ally being exposed. An address to Women and Girls will be delivered by Miss Collins, Delegate of the Women's Institute, in the Town Hall, Dryden on Thursday June 19th on any of the following subjects.-- "The Principles of Dress." "A Girls Preparation for Life." "Home-making Ideals." "Women's National Outlook." "Women Subject to Law in Ontario." "Institutes, Their Aims and Achieve- ments." Oxdrift Pienie-- The Oxdrift annual picnic will be held Thursday, June 26th, on the new grounds near the Post Office. It is expected the Dryden Juniors will meet the Oxdrift Giants again in the afternoon for a baseball. In the evening a dance will be held in the Community Hall, in aid of the Hall fund. The Gammon Orchestra is expected to be in attendance. Everybody welcome. Bedworth Picnic:-- The annual picnic of the Bedworth School and Community will be held at Sandy Beach, Thunder Lake, on Tues- day, June 24. A novel programme of sports is being arranged. Bring your basket and enjoy yourself with the rest of the crowd. . Feeling Running Strong-- Owen Sound, June 9.--By the most decisive vote ever recorded in the Presbyterian General Assembly on the Church Union question, the Commis- sioners adopted a resolution depreciat- ing strongly the action of the Private Bills Committee of the House of Commons. The Private, Bills Committee recent- ly recommended tha the bill be amended so that: Church Union could not come into effect until after courts had decided whether the bill was constitutional previously. Greetings From Anglicans-- Owen Sound, June 9.--Referring to the possibility of union between the Anglican church and the other great churches of Canada, Dr MacKenzie Naughton of Owen Sound, represent- ing the Bishop of Huron, before the Presbyterian General Assembly today said that with many men this might seem possible, but with God all things are possible. He spoke of the great question before the Assembly, that of church union, and expressed the hope that, whatever occurred, true unity and sympathy of all true be- lievers would be preserved. --AUCTION SALE-- at the SCHOOLHOUSE, Eagle River, Tuesday June 17th, at 8.60 p.m. The Old School Property will be sold by Public Auction to the highest Cash bidder at time of sale.

James Lyons, minister of lands and forests, on his recent visit to this district, to proceed with the construction of the Ontario division of the all-Canada Highway, is already being fulfilled. Work has actually started. . A. G. Crane, district engineer, made the first move at Kenora Monday, by giving instructions to erect two camps for construction of the highway to Manitoba boundary. Since returning to Dryden Wednesday afternoon he is proceeding to locate about six camps between Dinorwic and Vermillion Bay, men and material having already been despatched to continue operations at Dinorwic end. Specifications for the road to hand indicate that the surface ! will be built of the best material ob- tainable. It is intended to proceed with the work rapidly, to obtain the fullest ad- vantage from its early completion, as well as provide employment as far as is economically possible under present conditions. Add $1,250,000 for the Highway-- Toronto, June 10.--Influenced by con- ditions of unemployment existing in the Province, the Ferguson Govern- ment has decided to increase by $1- 250,000 its contemplated expenditure during the summer on highways. The original program called for the ex- penditure of about $5,500,000. Farmers Rejoice in Fine Weather-- Winnipeg, June 11.--Clear skies and higher temperature prevail through- out Western Canada, and the farmers are rejoicing in the prospects. Agri- cultural authorities are of the opinion that the lateness of the season will not prove necessarily a handicap to a good crop if the weather is Lay favourable from this time. 11 dis- tricts have had ample ih for the time being. i Completion within Three Years-- : Completion within three years of the trans-Canada Highway in a direct line between Fort William and the Manitoba boundary, an increase in the i tax on pulpwood and hardwood to en- courage manufacture here, the increase of the bounty on iron ore to one per; cent per unit, and a system of forest patrol by hydroplane to cover the entire north country were among the measures advocated for the develop- ment of Northern Ontario by Hon. Harry Lyons, minister ef lands and forests, in an address the other day.
