Mrs. Julia Peehuta, a lionmanian} woman who has been going: out work- l ing by the day. in many homes and ' otiiees in the town during: the past few 1 years, was arrested on Saturday on a ' charge of shoplifting. The way in I which attention was directed to her _ was interesting. With a friend she I visited the police station in 1'ir'1'irtr'iil, with money that she had paid to King Cole who is being held here on charges of theft and fraud in connection with his representation of himself as an agent for the Merchant Casualty Com- pany. While at the police station she dropped three fancy greeting cards on the floor and in picking them up to hand them to the lady, Chief \Vilson‘ noticed the designs on them in casual way. A few days later Mr. A. Shit-i heen reported the loss of a coat froml his store. He told the Chief that it ‘had been taken off the hanger and learried away, the hanger being left with three fancy cards underneath it. He shOwed the Chief the cards as a possible, but very doubtful clue. Thel Chief thought the cards had a familiar look and eventually recognized them. l “Has Mrs. Julia Peehuta been in here "atelyc?" he asked Mr. Shaheen. The latter explained that she had examined the very coat that was taken, but had; decided not to buy it. Later she had been in the store again, but had not 'bought the, coat.‘ 'Perhaps, 1 can find your missing coat," the Chief said iand left the store. He secured a ‘search warrant and with (jhlicer Allen'; visited the home of Mrs. Peehnta.‘ iThere they found the coat sought, andi i also $300 to $500 worth of other goods) There were skirts, blouses, dresses, isweaters, searfs anfother merchand- lize, nearly all superior goods. Other “merchants in town identified practical iiy all of the. goods as coming froml their stores. The diallinger Stores/ lOstrosst'r & Co., W. Ellies and otherl (stores had apparently suti'ered from (the shoplifter. (Mrs. Peehuta admitt- ed to the police that she had lifted the goods. She said she had been at this ; game for the. past three months. Ask- l cd why she had done it she is reported ‘to have replied:--'l am a poor hard- working woman with a family; my lhusband work hard too. I see other women with good nice clothes and I l want the same too." As the goods had not been worn apparently this explan- . ation does not seem to till the bill. The, _ chief is inclined to think the woman a ' kleptornaniae from the quantity of , goods taken and the frequency with F which she must have given way to the temptation to lift goods. tlirs.

The chief changes in the new time- table mean lessened train service for this district. After the first of the year the trains Nos. 46 and 47 will V make Englehart their terminal pointl This means that Timmins, for instance l goes back to the old-style service of" one train a day for Toronto and one for Montreal ,with “The National," however, running daily. As The National does not carry mail the cur- tailment ot' the service, so far as mail matter is concerned is a serious one. The train coming in here after connect ing' with the. 'National each afternoon is scheduled 10 minutes later than at present, the timetable giving its time. of arrival here as 6.30 1).m., instead of 6.20 out, as at present. The only other change is that the train now leaving here at 11.30 ami. each week day and 2 pmt. each Sunday will after tthe tirsst of the year leave here each lday, Sunday included at 2 p.m., or 2.30 pan. The exact time has not yet been announced, but it is likely to be 2.30 1mm. as this time seems to meet with the most general favour. This afternoon train will be of great con- venienee for games. with Iroquois it"ulls this winter, but otherwise there are few bright spots in the changes made in the timetable, the changes; be- ing otherwise so largely a matter of curtailment of service. However, the people have lived through it all in past :winters and so may be expected to ism-rive again this coming year. Mliilllflf NTNNT Illl M!

"vill be the date for voting on the by-law regarding the installation of an incinerator plant for the disposal of garbage, etc. The proposition is that the Town and the Township of Tisdale should go into a joint plan for this work in the interests of the health and convenience of the two municipal ities. The matter has received the _ver'y careful consideration of Iboth icouncils and now only requires the en- .dorsation of the ratepayers to be ef- "eetive. In both Tisdale and Tim- mins it would appear that a good ma- 'jority should he rolled up for this by- law. This year there does not seem to be any great interest shown in municipal matters in Timmns. Whether this is because there is general satisfaction with the rwork of the present Council, or because some of the ratepayers are. going to "spring something" at the last minute” remains to be seen. Up to the present, in any case, there has been little talk of municipal matters, though it is understood that at least two of the present Council are not likely to seek municipal honours again and none of them would put up a tight for a place on the municipal board un- less they felt that their dropping out would prejudice the interests of the T0wn.

Last wvek there were two arrests Negotiations have heen under wag." for some days for a merger of the) Northerown and Y.N.T. properties. The Northcrown people have had their engineers make on examination of the V.N.T., and the Y.N.T. has exu- mined the Northerown properties. Negotiations have been carried on be- tween Dr. McIntosh Bell, representing the V2Cl'., and Mr. B. Stewart, re- presenting tlu, Northerown Porcupine Mines. A further eonfererwebetween these two gentlemen on the matter will be held at Montreal on Wednes- day next and after that meeting it is probable. that a definite proposal may be laid before. the shareholders of the two companies looking to a merger that on its Gee seems to offer every possible advantage to both properties. A merger of the. Northerown and the V.N.'l‘. would mean one of the largest properties in the (Porcupine, with an unusually promising location, being: ad jaeent to the famous 1lollinger Mine. Both the Northerown and the V.N.T. are the result of former amalgama- tions. The Nirrtherown is operating what were formerly the Porcupine Crown and the Thompson-Kr-ist pro- perties. These properties adjoin the V. N. T., the V.N.T. being an amalga- mation (if the. Vipoml and North Thompson properties. The. vein system of the Porcupine Crown is [believed to extend onto tho V.N.T. at, depth and that the best vein of the Thompson-Krist is also to be found on the V.N.T. lndeed, the general opinion is that the North- crown and V.N.T., 'heoause of their proximity and the ore formation of both, would both be advantaged by a merger that would moan the working of the two propoi'tios in common. HOLLINGER MILL WINS PROM MACHINE SHOP. Thure “as an interesting Week-end‘ hockey game hetuven the men of the:' Ilollinger Mill and Machine, Shop, and the Mill won to the tune of 8 to :1. Mr. w. Cr. Smith was referee, and he still lives and smiles. Art Jackson also is alive, 'but he is too stilt to smile. 'Ht wasn't a hockey match," Art says, "it was a Christmas eraeifixion." Joe MeGrath on the other hand can smile better than ever. 'He. had such a, good rest. lie searee'l'y moved. The story" goes that he was afraid to move for fear he might get near to Joe Everard who had openly boasted that he would tlatten the genial Joe first against the fence and then against the ice until he would be in shape for use as a corru- gated protection fur a photo going through the mails. Alex Borland was in goal for the Mill and Roy Upton in front ol' the nets for the Machine Shop.
