The following is an editorial from The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasâ€" inz, last week: Believes Line Between Nakina and Hearst is Safe "The CNKR. time table says it is 143 miles from Nakina to Hearst. . When the ticâ€"up on the southern CNR. line occurred and No. 2 had to be reâ€"routed to Hearst, the train did not have to stick to schedules, being far behind. It was up to the man at the throttle to make the best time he could, and he did. No. 2 made that 143 mile run in two hours and five minutes, which is (gut fractionally less than 70 miles per hour. No bad speed over trackage that has been conspicuously neglected for seven years, and officially damned. +*‘*Nor is this onc isolated instance of what trains can do over that same stretch. When Nos. 1 and 2 were runâ€" ing through here years ago, they would somctimes be late before coming into this division; and rallroaders would tell us in strict confidence, "positively not for publication," that at times they had exceeded even 70 miles an hecurâ€"and never an accident! The Timmins Advance devotes its leading editorial, over a column long, to The Northern Tribune‘s discussion last week of the disruption of passenâ€" ger train traffic over the former Canâ€" adian Northern line between Nakina and Sudbury. Fully approving our estimate of the comparative safety of the two trackages from the consideraâ€" yion of safety for passage of the royal train castbound on June 5th, the Adâ€" vance puts the authorities on the spot and demands investigation and full reâ€" port. We shall not identify our several inâ€" formants who are thoroughly familiar with the Long Lac area, but we will bank to the limit on what they tell us about the lowâ€"lying nature of that country, and the insecurity in spring of the rail line that runs through it. We jearn now that the disruption occurâ€" red at a bridge over the Morrison river, which it was feared would go outl; and the low approaches on each side were préecarious for even freight train. After sending Nos. 1 and 2 around via Hearst, tirst down over the T. N. O. and then tintil last Sunday via Hearst and Oba, the C,. NR. tried backing freights up to the bridge on one side, then hooking on another enzine at the other end, thus avoiding the possibility of toppling an engine through the bridge. That is "getting by" after a fashion, alright, but it doesn‘t make things look too good for the royal train in early June, compared to a 70â€"mileâ€"anâ€"hour speed over the Northern track. ~Subbrdinating a wish to be forebearâ€" ing and abstain from criticizing inciâ€" g@ents connected with the royal trip to bana, newspapers both in Britain and this country have asked who was responsible for sending the royal ship by the North Atlantic route at the worst time of the year for fog and iceâ€" bergs, so that they were delayed for two full days, throwing elaborate arâ€" rangements seriously out of gear. We will leave that discussion to the techniâ€" cal experts who started it, exceopt to say that perhaps somebody blundered. . ale ty P 32 u000000 000000 030 4200000000000 000000 10000 ++ A 1%a Pine Street North Tinmins AND REAL ESTATE IN ALL BRANCHES 23 Fourth Aveaue THOUGHTFUL CARE SIMMS, HOOKER DREW _ _# _ _# # # ® . . * #. .% . .@ t 2t 22 282 28 uP a®, o o s s * * s *s o o o io in io io io io oo *4 4 .

The annual business at the morning session consisted of the hearing of the reports from the Womens‘ Auxiliaries 6f the WM.S., the Mission Bands and affiliated groups of Canadian Girls in Training. All the reports showed the varicous societies to be doing splendid work. The secretaries of the different departments also. presented theirâ€" reâ€" ports telling of the work done throughâ€" out the year. In the afternoon An open meeting was neld which was largely attended and at which a splenâ€" did address was given by Mrs. C. W. Cld 0O q OOAE C m ns ie nc ic mmA m twentyâ€"three years on the West Coast. After. the report of the nominating committee was presented, the Rev. I. E. Kennedy, of Schumacher, chairman of the Cochrane Presbytery, conducted a very impressive and inspiring dedicaâ€" tion service in which the newlyâ€"apâ€" pointed officers pledged themselves to the work of the WM.S. for the year. In The Advance ten years ago: "There are periodic changes and rearrangeâ€" ments made in the Timmins municipal buildings and this will likely have to continue until a complete new and modern type of building is erected in keeping with the rest of the town. The latest changes were made in the past week. The , police office was moved from the front of the first storey of the building and this room given Over to the offices of the assessor and tax collector. With the water rates, as well as taxes being paid in Mr. Channon‘s office the need for further room in that department has been noted for some time past. (Part of the council chamber has been partitioned off to make an ocffice for the police, and while the room is small, it will no doubt serve its purpose for the present at least." "Although for several days the wild geese had betn goinz by on their anâ€" nuai trck north," said The Advance ten years ago, "none had stopped at the lake ncar the Hollinger compressOr plant where. for several years the miâ€" gratory birds have called on the way to their summer fceding grounds. It looked for a time as iIf the wild geese were going to miss their T imnmins call. This scemed especially likely to, some when on Sunday last a large number of the birds stopped at Gillies Lake for a rest on their long alir voyage. Many were afraid that for some reason or another the birds had decided‘ not. to visit here agzain, and there would have been very gencral disappointment if this were the case. Some feared that last year something might have happened to frighten the birds away from here. ‘But on Tuesday all disâ€" appointments were removed as a large number of wild geese Ccamt along to camp at the compressor nouse sanctuâ€" ary. They circled round and found the old place as if they had complete maps and compasses for their air trips and knew exactly where they wished to stop for their needed rest."

He was found dead at his residence, Dr. Boyd, the coroner for the district was called but decided that a JjJury inquest was unnecessary, death being due to naâ€" tural causes. s Miss Theresa Maloney, calm and keenâ€"eved, will be the only Canadian woman in the official party for the transâ€"Canada tour of their Majesties.

Mr. Simms, who was a popular member of the Hollinger staff, left some weeks ago to take up a special course of study in electrical lines and Mrs. Simms, who stayed here to complete the seaâ€" son‘s courses in Gdancing instruction, left this week to rejoin her husband.

Mr. Simms, as presiâ€" ;dent, of the Mattagami Aquatic Assoâ€" ciation and in other public capacities, gave good service here. Mrs. Simms, whose dancing classes for youngsters deservedly won a very hizh reputation, ‘will be especially missed by those inâ€" terested in the growth of grace and physical ~charm in children, her classâ€" es here and at South (Porcupint and the Dome conferring a very decided benefit to the children of the camp and adding materially to the pleasure Of i the adults."

Banficld, returned misâ€" sionary from Southwest Africa, who was the speaker at the annual W.MS. services at the United Church, was the speaker of the day at the weekly Klâ€" wanis Club luncheon at the Empire notel ten years ago. The wide rangyt of information shown and the cloâ€" quence of the speaker made the adâ€" dress one of the most appreciated of events at the club. Mtrs.

While the space for dancâ€" ing was limite«di, the place was crowded most of the evening.

The Black and White Picrrot enterâ€" tainment presented at the New Emâ€" pire Theatre ten years ago under the auspices of the St. John Ambulance Brigade was a decided credit to all those who took part in it, and especâ€" ially to Mrs. Wilkins who directed the production throughout. Singing, dancâ€" ing, costumes, lines and acting were excellent, the dancing being unusually good and delighting the big house presâ€" ent for the occasion.
