® OTTAWA, Mar. Ld - VOLUME VII. DRYDEN, Ontario March sth, 1926 No. XXXVL Heenan May Get Labor Post. 2--While no official statement is obtainable from: the gov- ernment and Mr Heenan declines com- ment, it is rumoured in political circles : at the capital that Peter Heenen,; Liberal-Labour, Kenora, will shortly be offered the ministry of labour in the King Cabinet. Having been identified with indus- trial unions for two decades, six years service in the legislature to his credit, and even now carrying a union card of Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, My Heenan is regarded as the logical man in government circles. Further- more, the administration recognizes the necessity of Ontario representation in the cabinet and Mr Heenan is regarded as sure of holding his seat in a by- election. It is learned here that the premier has been swamped with tele- grams from Northwesc Ontario urging Heenan's appointment. Liberal and Labor sources have made representa- tions. Heenan's selection is regarded as especially likely in view of northwest- ern Ontario's insistent demand for cabinet representation. BOOTS, BOOTS, BOOTS It Pays to Buy Good Footwear.

E. GIBSON, Agent, Dryden Farmers Given An Opportunity F. T. BRIGNALL, Bistrict Dir- ector of the U.F.O. announces an opportunity to meet a few of the leaders of the movement in the Community Hall, Oxdrift, on Tuesday next, March gth, at eight o'clock. Although the notice ist short, due to circumstances, it is hoped that all will do what they can to secure a good turnout. Distance makes it hard for this district to keep in close touch with headquarters; the more reason to make an effort when opportunity does come. A display of interest by our farmers is the strongest possible argument with Toronto to come and visit us occasionally. Mr Brignall has been assured that J. J. Morrison himself wil endeavour to pay a visit here this summer. Prove your interest ir this possibility by attending thc meeting on Tuesday night. Mr Morrison's letter to Mr Brignall in part is given below: . "If you would let me advise, I think you should have one meeting at Oxdrift. The crowd you will have is entirely new, and they are not coming home immediately after the Coun- cil meeting. They are leaving Winnipeg on the 8th, and could be with you on the gth, and then go on to Fort William, 'where another meeting will be held to aid Mrs Garver. The ones who will stay over are: Mrs Souter, Vice-President of the U.F.W.O., a pioneer in New Ontario, who lives in: Nipissing District, and is thoroughly acquainted with condi- tions in the North; is a good speaker and I know the peoplc up there would like to hear her-- Bruce McNevin, Vice-President of the U.F.O., whose home is in Victoria County, and who is alse a good speaker, and Harold Me- Kechnie, Grey County, Vice-Pres- ident of the Y.P.O. 1 hear he is also a good speaker, a good man on the Board, and I think a com- ing man. Now, my reason for wanting you to hold this meeting is that you can tell these three Vice- Presidents exactly the condition= under which you are labouring We received your report of the riding convention, so that I think that we now understand the situa- tion fully. Yours very truly J. J. MORRISON. Connections Complete Telephone connection between Dryden and Winnipeg is now est- ablished, and already in operation. C. W. MacDonald, C.P.R. expert who sperintended the installation of the service, called up various people here, Wednesday, to test the system. And the results were highly satisfactory , the voices coming clear and distinct over the long wire. The editor was given the opportunity to satisfy himself of this fact through the courtesy of Mr Macdonald. The rates to Winnipeg are the same as to Fort William, under the agreement signed this weel between the Town and the Mani- toba Government Telephones. Perhaps nothing could do more than the telephone to overcome the sense of isolation that has held back this district from develop- ment. We are hardly better than an eskimo colony the way we have been cut off from the rest of the country. Now all we need is that long looked-for highway--an open road to the world outside.

The members of the Committe on Field Husbandry of the Onario Agri-, culture] and Experimental Union are prepared to distribute material for ex- periments with grains, potatoes, roots, fodder crops and fertilizers, Fully 2600 varieties of farm crops have been tested in the experimental department of the Ontaric Agricultural College, Guelph, for at least five years. These consist of nearly all the Canadian sorts znd several hundred new varieties and strains, a few of which have been originated at Guelph and have done exceedingly well in the carefully con- ducted experiments at the College, and will be used for the co-operative ex- periments throughout Ontarie in 1926. Each person in Ontario who wishes to join in the work may choose any one of the experiments for 1926, by filling out the proper form of applica- tion and retrrning the same to the Director of the experiments in Field Husbandry at as early a date as poss- ible. The material will be furnishtd in the order in which the applications are rectived. until the supply is exhausted. All material will be furnished entirely free of charge to each applicant, and the produce will of course become the property of the person who conducts the experiment. In return, the Com- mittee on Experiments desires to ask that each experimenter will sow all the plots belonging to the particular ex- periment which he has chosen for 1926, and that he will be very careful and accurate in his work, and will forward to the Director a complete report of the results obtained form the test. All seeds and ferilizers will be sent in good time for spring seeding, provi- ded the applications are received at an early date. The supply of material being limited. those who apply first will be surest of obtaining the desired outfit, Forms of application can be secured from M. F. Cook, agricultural repre- sentative at Dryden, from whom also all particulars may be obtained.

McFadyen attended Tuesday night's meeting of Dryden Town Council, and asked that Council would enlarge their Building Bylaw to furnish a guide in making decisions relative to the issuing of per- mits under the Bylaw. The directions were so general at present that too great responsibility was thrown on the Inspector. This matter of simple routine soon got itself tangled with the horrible sus- picion that Magistrate R. H. Pronger had knowingly and with malice afore- thought, committed a breach of the by- law. And all those groaning under the burden of laws in general, tingled with suppressed hope. Seen in regard te the matter, Mr Pronger was shocked, even horrified, at the very idea that anyone could even imagine he would take such an attitude "THREE FLOWERS" Skin and Tissue Cream.

He had employed a : contractor to move an old building he! had bought at Bedworth; the man had | appeared doubtful a: to whether he. would succeed in moving it into town. Next thing he knew, the building had been placed on a vacant lot near his residence, and he was now considering where it could be placed. He had al- ready applied for a permit, which he expected would be issued as soom as the building officer had approved of it. If there had been any breach of the town bylaw, it had certainly not been intentional. The Building Inspector corroborates the fact that a permit has been applied for. A slight change made in the bylaw | reduces the license for pool tables from $20 to $15 for one table. . The license | fee of $10 for a second, and $5 for all other tables in one building remains as before. The Mayor and Town Clerk were: authorized to sign the agreement with' was instructed to investigate the ar- rangement for the supply of Dryden power and report to next meeting. The building inspector raised the question of having specifications for buildings in different sections of the town included in the bylaw.- It was left to the Property committee to go into the matter with the inspector and report.

Premier Ferguson said that there was nothing legally wrong in this an Mr Lyons defended his attitude a being honest and proper; but M Lyons felt that both he and the gov- ernment must be above the least suspicion. He therefore resigned his cabinet post, but declared that he would remain a member for the present ses- sion at least.
