CompanyJmuBt be in dire finitncial 8traits,judging by a recent order issued by the headquarters staff in Toron- to. Beginning wi'h .April 1 the station hjre is closed upatuix o'clock p.m. each diiy and does not open again until next morning. This means a saving of thirty cents a day to the company at this sta- tion. But it means a vast deal more than that in inconvenience to the travell- ing public and financial loss in many ways. It means that the st.ttion remains ill darkness, no tickets can be sold for th9 night train, no baggage can be 'put on or off, no oxpres», perishible or other- wise, can bo secured by that night train. It means that travellers for surrounding points cannot take their usKgago home with them and will have to make a second trip to the station for it. iL)aly the ord- inary conductor'-s ticket can be purchased on the train with the usual percentage added and the usual, indi^'nation added of applying for the usual ten cent refund. There is a pretty intiignaiic population in this soction over the new regulation- This is not confined to Flesherton alone, t!ie order affecli.ig every citizen of the townships of Artemesia and half of O.s- p- ey. Perishable express ciming by night goes on to Owen Sound and returns; next day ; Saturdays it would not return until Monday. Farmers who wish re- pairs for implements cannot get them the same day if ordered by phone and bsgnage cannot be taken home with night travellers. These things will provoke strong pro- tests. On Saturday Artemesia Council heard of the now order and fotthnith passed aresolution condemning the ord- er and strong petitions of protest will be sent in to the RaiUvay Board, which it is hoped will have the effect of restoring the old ordor of things. The commercial travellors are also hit hard and are pu't- ing up a strong kick. The thing looks like a penny wise acd pound foolish in- novation. fiUNPOWDER PLANTS.
