However, by a later date the roads may be in better condition for travelling, and a greater number will be able to be present. xdrift Pioneer Passes Away.-- Mrs Mary Tuckey, one of Oxdrift's oldest residents, passed away Monday morning at the home of her son Joseph. _ Mrs Tuckey, who was in her 80th . year, came to this district from Elora, {Ont., with her husband and family "nearly thirty years ago. After a few i years spent in Dryden, they moved on "to the farm at Oxdrift, now occupied by-her son James. She took an active part in the life of the early days, few of her contemporaries now being left. Besides Joseph and James Tuckey and Mrs Con Snider, Oxdrift, she has a daughter living near Winnipeg and another at Arris, Ont. Her husband "died twelve years ago. | After a service conducted by Rev. H. A. Rivers, she was laid to rest in Oxdrift Cemetery. THE enthusiastic crowd that attended the meeting called by ex-Mayor Pitt last Monday night indicated that once moment {o get something going. To a community and district that knows its possibilities and the tremendous devel- opment just ahead, that may begin at any moment, the quickening force of the Red Lake discovery has come as the herald of the new day that begin- ning with Red Lake and extending to the other resources of the district, will open ur such scurces of natural wealth as shall add to the prosperity of the whole of Canada. In quiet yet forceful language Mr Pitt outlined the situation. While the eves of the world are directed to this part of Canada, and advance agents of corporations and syndicates great and small are searching for hidden natural resources to which the power of great capital can he profitably applied, was the critical time for Dryden to be alert te direct the attention of these repre- sentatives of the outside world to the possibilities of the whole district over which was scattered the unmeasured riches of which Red Lake was only a sample. Here was Dryden's great opportunity. They had the choice to sit back and watch the traffic created by Red Lake diverted to other, more wide-awalke communities, or bestir themseives to bring the advantages of their own district before the public. There was every indication that the spring break-up would see a swarm of opportunity seckers from every part of the continent to Red Lake. It was wot likely that all who came would be able to secure suitable claims. These people need not go back disappointed. There were thousands of acres in this ryden's Opportunity. more he had struck the psychological, in which the surface indications were similar to those at Red Lake. Let an effort be made to encourage prospec- tors to come here. Already claims were being staked to the east of the new gold field almost as many miles from the first discovery as this was south. His suggestion was that the business men of Dryden raise the sum of $500 among themselves, and form a citizens committee to expend it in such a way as to advertise the Town and district to the best advantage. To start the fund he would contribute the first $100. Then the tension that had held the meeting so far broke loose. In the eager discussion that was joined in' by everyone present, the sense of long- suppressed desire for action found ex- pression. Plans and ideals, that have hitherto striven for utterance through fraternal, political and other channels, became cc-ordinated, and wove theni- selves into a definite plan. The sug- gestion was made that as the proposed scheme would benefit the town and district generally, the Council should be approached to make the first con- tribution of $500, and contributions frova other sources could be added as required. The chairman, Mr Pitt, in view of the large proportion of ratepayers present, called on them for a show of hands as to the advisability of this. As a result a committee was chosen to wait on Council the following night, and ask for a donation. The members of this committee are Messrs A. Pitt, J. Guthrie, C. Wright, H. Pronger and A. Durance. This was unanimously agreed to, and the meet'ng adjourned after arranging for the committee to ireet on Thursday evening to make district that had never been prospected the necessary arrangements. Lively Council Meeting The regular meeting of Dryden Town Council held Tuesday night was attended by an unusual number of spectators attracted by rumours of controversial matters that were expec- ted to come up. And the visitors were not disappointed. The prospect of an early closing bylaw which will shortly be passed, and even the granting of $50C conditionally to the citizens' com- mittee, both faded to insignificance in compariscn with interest displayed in the latest effort to fire the cop. This latter question came up when a letter was read from Constable Colliss who asked whether Coun. McKay, as chairman of the Police Committee, had authority to demand his resignation. Asked by Coun. Klose as to the reason for such action, Coun. McKay brought no specific charge against the constable but veferred to instances where he said the latter had not been aggressive in the execution of his duty. After a long discussion Council agreed that unless a definite complaint was proved, and backed by a recommendation of the Police Committee, they would take no action against the policéman, as the position was a difficult one and liable to stir some displeasure at times. So the metion of Coun. McKay found no seconder, and was dropped. On the recommendation of fire chief Anderson, who showed the necessity, it was decided to purchase another 600 feet of fire hose. Out of six applicants Peter Moline was again appointed scavenger for the season, although his tender of $1050.00 was not the lowest. It was, however, agreed that his experience and previ- ous satisfactory services entitled him to preference. and out-weighed the consideration of a lower tender. It was decided to accept the arrange- ment with the Manitoba Telephones to supply current for charging the long- distance batteries at the station in ex- change for the connection established 'with Winnipeg and Fort William. After hearing Mr C. Wright, spokes- man of the citizens' committee else- where referred to, a motion by Coun. Council guarantee the Committee the sum of $500 for the purpose of adver- tising the mining district contiguous to Dryden, provided the man or men sent out are satisfactory to Council." re Red Lake railway from Quibell, and the Clerk write them to that effect. In view of the general interest in the police situation, some explanation would seera in order. Council did not pass upon the conduct of the constable g Hime. the constable fired, and building up a since no charge was laid against him. They objected to the procedure ia that Mothers of young babies are extremely conscientious. They do everything in their power for the happiness and wel- fare of the tiny person entrusted to their care. R Every touch of their finger on the soft little body tells them how delicate and tenedr baby's skin is. : No powder can be too safe, too pure, for that rose-petal surface. No care can be too great to save it from chaf- ing ov eruption. With the careful mothers, the use of More Mothers Choose This Powder for baby Because It is Safe for Baby's Skin baby powder is as much a part of their routine as baby's feeding. They use it after baby's bath, every time the diaper is changed; they rub it over the chubby body to cool it and keep heat rash away. Many times a day they use it. And because of this frequent and intimate use, the choice of the powder itself becomes highly important. Because they know how sure and safe and socthing it is. More mothers all over the country are using B& EB baby powder, more than ever before. +.

An earlier attempt to secure his discharge. came from sources not in sympathy with. the O.T.A., while the present one i i¢ supported by those who demand a rigid enforcement of the law. Both | cases had the appearance of having started with the determination to have case against him later. Last year and this year, Council declined to comply with the demand of a zealous minority on either side, the present Council es- pecially stating its determination to support the policeman in his duty without fear or favour, while prepared | to deal justly with any proper case of either laxity or officious interference.

This taken in conjunction with the circunistance of its being geograpiicaily situated in the district adjacent to Red Lake, would almost seem to justify the. irrepressible optimism of the § Company's President, and should § prove at least encouraging to the* shareholders, who have had their own experience of disheartening circumstances. i Buoyant in spirit as ever, Mre® Wachman jocularly and without vindictiveness alluded to the un- kind fate that has overtaken the chief of his former persecutors. "The law of compensation goes right ahead," he says in his whin- sical way; "one by one they fall by the wayside, while friend Wachman stays on the job in spite of them." Wachman is quite a sport, all right. There may be a bit of the gambler in his makeup too, but he must Lave a wonderful faith in his destin:* to stay with the game so persistently, for he comes of a race that is not known to stick with nothing but a losing hand, and it would appea that following the aforesaid | of compensation, the time for Robert. Wachman to pick a winner should be at hand.
