Martin of Glengoland was terminat- ed by death on Tuesday last, the 8th day of July. Although but fifty-two years of age, the strenuous life of a pioneer had taxed his strength to such an extent as to weaken his ability to further struggle against the fatal can- cer that had developed, till death for which he was fully prepared brought God-given release. William H. Martin, with his wife came here from east Whitby eighteen years ago, and bought the farm at Glengoland which has been his home ever since. His quiet, kindly disposi- tion attracted friendship and respect from all who met him, and sympathy during his great trial has been sincere and widespread. Besides his bereaved wife, who will continue to reside in Dryden, he leaves a son, Evert, of Hudson Bay Junction, and a daughter (Mildred) Mrs R. Hawes, of McCreary, Man, also his cousin Will Martin of Glengoland. The funeral will be held this (Fri- day) afternoon, from Union Church, Dryden. § Referendum Facts-- The New Voters List for 1924, just printed, contain Part III. with the names of persons entitled to vote for Legislative Assembly only. As there is no election in sight, it is but fair to assume that they are to be used for the long-waited referendum, and one more chance will be given electors to take the "dry" out of Dryden. To many the country can never be full of good-will until it has a better supply of good spirits. The Trail Breaker.-- Frank Hazelwood, the famous hun- ter and guide from Big Sandy Lake, was visiting in Town this week, his cheerful ebony countenance beaming with enjoyment of a rare adventure. © Frank mostly leads a rather solitary life out in the woods, down by Dimor- wie, and like all woodsmen is quick to catch unusual sounds. The other day he heard a strange whirring, louder than could be made by a whole covey of prairie chickens. As his keen eye searched the heavens for an airplane, suddely out of the bush drifted a big black monster the like of which had never appeared there before, and Frank for the first time enjoyed a visit at his place of an auto --a Ford containing four passengers. With Hal Dingwall and Ernie Dickson of Dryden rode Mr Gay C.P.R. agent and Mr Finlayson, manager of the Great Lakes Trading Co., Dinorwic, for a friendly call. Frank is overjoyed to think that at last modern invention has broken the trail to his front door and civilation claims him for its own. rrr ae rr THE --O0--0--0-- : -- FRESH FRUITS-- NEW APPLES, per 1 ooo 15¢ 2-Tos for _ 25c¢.

A friendly invitation to join a motor party to Wabigoon last Saturday gave the 'Observer' an opportunity to hear an address by Peter Heenan, M.P.P. in the new Community Hall there. Since the election the representative of Kenora District has not proved so great a drawing-card as he had been. This, partly because his supporters hardly knew where Mr Heenan stood after the disaster to the Drury Govern- ment, but chiefly because Mr Heenan himself appeared somewhat at a loss. His tour of the district a short while ago failed to cause any stir, while he vainly endeavoured to convince him- self that to him, a Labour man, it made no material difference whether a farmer or a conservative was in the saddle at Toronto. With transparent casuistry he at- tempted to adjust himself to the new conditions. He was out to get the best for his constituents, free of partyizam shackles, and cared little what party flag others preferred to serve under. Peter was willing to be friends any- how, and work with any party who offered decent administration. He was conciliatory, but in this humour did not seem convincing. Peter Heenan in a conciliatory moods reminds one of an old woman with her hair bobbed. Fm hE ba But all this is changed. Last Satur- day the Peter Heenan who caught the fancy of Toronto's wittiest newspaper- ~ Municipal Matters THE By-law submitted to the rate- payers last Saturday to authorize the taking over of the Telephone System by the Town, was carried by a good majority. So Dryden becomes the owner of a complete self-sustaining telephone system at a very small out- lay. Without doubt, as secon as circum- stances permit, some effort will be made to connect up with other com- munities, and increase the usefulness of every 'phone by ultimately extend- ing the system over the whole district. --O0--0--0-- The waterworks system is making good progress. The long trench is gradually extending down White St. and a big gang are constantly at work. Another group is coming along be- hind, laying the eight-inch pipe main toward the C.P.R. er Om Oe Om Oe By his victory at the polls last Saturday by 52 votes to 87, Swan Swanson takes his place on the Coun- cil for the balance of the year 1924. Little interest was shown in the elec- tion except by the people in the north side, some of whom feel that a resi- dent of their end of the Town should represent their interest As one who has had an active part in building up the Town, and one of its oldest residents, although he has not previously held any public office, Coun. Swanson can be expected to men, who stampeded the Drury Govt. more than once, and who made the name of his home town a national topic was again with us. Slighted, scorned, supplanted in his right to place the ve-} quirements of his constituency before the government, the fighting spirit off Peter Heenan is aroused, and he threw his hat into the ring ready to go the! limit. No longer detained to fight outside opponents, he crossed the Rubicon to fight enemies at home. Plans made for developing this territory are being held up by creatures of small calibre right here, who are willing to injure their district for the sake of party vantage over himself; the same gang, he alleg-! od, whose mismanagement had put the ' Town of Kenora $1,000,000 in the hole, were now manoevering to gain supre- macy in politics and to that end hold- ing up the district. COLLINS--PITTMAN. A very pretty wedding was solem- nized in St Alban's pro-Cathedral at Kenora, Wednesday afternoon, July 2, at 8 o'clock, when Hilda Kilson, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs C. M. Pittman and Capt. G. Ernest Collins, of Leam- ington, England, were united in the bonds of holy matrimony. The Church was tastefully decorated with wild flowers, Rev. Canon Lofthouse officia- ting. The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore an im- ported suit of fawn poiret twill open- ing over a beaded blouse of French crepe, and a model hat to match. She carried a bouquet of Columbia roses. The bridesmaids, Misses Marion and "| July was a great success. Gwen Pittman, sisters of the bride, were becomingly attired in summer gowns of coral and orchid respectively, and carried bouquets of sweet peas. The bridegroom was attended by his Mrs Pittman, mother of the bride, wore a gown of black Canton crepe, heavily beaded. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents. Mr and Mrs Col- lins left for a short trip to Banff. On ther return they will reside in Kenora. -- Kenora Miner & News. The Union Church.
