OQ. Self, was .ecen to be on fire. The alarm was given and; in a remarkably short time the brigade | was on the job and had two streams of ; water going in addition to one from the; old chemical engine. | With a 15-below temperature and a strong west wind blowing, the situation looked dangerous for awhile. But soon the powerful effect of the highpressure a } " streams was apparent, and within half an hour of the alarm the brigade was master of the situation. The lower section containing three cars had been used as a garage, the upper floor being the Lodgercom of the AF. & AM. Between damage by fire and water the building is probably a complete wreck and the valuable con- tents entirely destroyed. Estimates o! the los vary from ten to $15,000, which is mostly covered by insurance. d The Municipal water system recently completted for fire protection has am- ply demonstrated its value already, in the first test to which it has been put. !

"action they desired; point, the meeting Annual Convention : Edna Reid Concert-- I The name of Miss Edna Reid stirs recollections 1 iu] pleasant At the annual meeting of the Port (hose whose memories carry them Arthur - Kenora political association held in the Township hall here Wed- nesday evening, the main topic for dis cussion was the question of transfer of allegiance to the Ontario division of the Progressive party. : A. R. Hutchison, president, occupied the chair, and outlined the position of the farmer movement in the new poli- tical line-up. After an hour's talk of a general nature, the entrance of F. T. Brignall, U.F.0. Director, brought a flood of light to bear on the whole question. Myr Brignall explained that the U.F.O. were definitely out of poli- tics. As far as they were concerned, members could take whatever personal but in no sense could they identify the U.F.O. with any political movement or organization. It had never been the policy of head: quarters to dictate to the Clubs, and now more than ever farmers were given absolute freedom of action in polities. Starting afresh from this new stand- quickly decided their intention to form a branch of the Progressive movement. The election of officers resulted in the choice of A. R. Hutchison as presi- dent; ¥. T. Brignall, vice-president; J. H. Sherwood, secretary-treasurer. The one point left uncompleted was a stay of proceedings until communi- cation could be established with the Rainy River section of the riding, to ensure co-operation of the whole farm- ing community, tee of the whole, each one on return to nis own district to bestir himself and secure the active interest of his neigh- nours in the new organization. Et Judge Chappel Presides | (theme the work of Judge Halli- His Honour Judge Chappel presided over the District Court, which -sat in Dryden Wednesday of this week. Thro' an afternoon and evening the time of the Court was occupied, although th number of cases for adjudication ws small, and some of them relatively un- important to such a degree as to incur caustic comment from the Judge in rve- gard to the apparent eagerness of some people for litigation. Divested of the accumulated animosity and "feeling," some of the matters under dispute might easily have been settled without recourse to the law. One case that might be of general interest was that of A. Moeser, Wald- hof who sought to recover damages for tosses caured by his' neighbours' cattle trespassing on his crops. His claim, which might have succeeded in organ- ized territory, failed of proof that the said cattle were so unruly as to cross a well-built fence line. In unorgan- ized territory the settler must protect his own crops by proper fencing, and prove his neighbour's liability. His Honour suggested that many such 'matters could be arranged by Town- ships organizing; that, however, was for themselves to decide. In this case he would find plaintift non-suited, which would permit him, if so inclinde, to again bring the matter before the Court provided he found more evidence and took steps to better inform himself as to the law in unor- ganized territory. owls Brownies make good pictures That's one-half the story.

Department of the University of Manitoba, a lecture was delivered in Union Church Wednesday evening by Professor D. E. Harvey, of the Department of History, under the auspices of The attendance was not large, altho' well up to 'average for such affairs. But what they may have lacked in numbers was more than © HTM d Professor Harvey chose for his burton of Nova Scotia, who is not one of» the world's great satirists, but was the first humorist on this continent to achieve world-fame, all American and Canadian humorous writers of the last hundred years frankly acknowledging him as the fore- runner and master of them all. Alarmed Dy a movement that he feared would result in the separation of his beloved Nova Scotia from Canada and the British Empire and annexation to the United States, Judge Halli- burton sought to combat the danger in a succession of broad- sides cloaked in the most delici- ous humor, albeit pointed by the sharpest wit. To the instant success of his patriotic campaign the present existence of a strong Canadian National consciousness is due in no small measure. Mayor Pitt, who occupied the chair, in thanking the lecturer for the enjoyable evening spent, re-' ferred to the unrest exhibited in some sections of Canada to-day, with its more or less open discus- sion of possible annexation to our powerful neighbour, and suggest- ed that a revival of the Hallibur- ton spirit might be timely and of more than merely academic in- terest to Canadians generally. Eternal vigilance, he asserted, is the price of national safety. Death of J. F. Finken----- Tuesday afternoon at 4.30, the death occurred in the hospital here of John, Francis Finken, who had been brought in from hig farm about eight miles | north of Dryden, in an advanced stage of pneumonia wesulting from an at- tack of 'flue early in the winter. The late Mr Finken came to this country from London, England, over: thirty years ago, and his first few vears in Canada were somewhat ad- venturous. He worked at the placer mining in the cariboo, where he held ; one of the richest claims; but in 189%, es pn erie trated by rheumatism. During the long illness he had lost his mining claim, and his capital was largely used ap.' Since 1914 he has lived in Wainwright where, in company with his neigh- bour and partner, Mr S. Banks, he has devoted his life to farming and clearing land. Deceased was 68 years' of age, and so far as known has no relatives in this country. Service was held in St. Luke's Church, Dryden, by the Rev. 8. N. Dixon, which was largely attended by friends and Cemetery.
