They Were exceptionally keen, ambitious and clean minded, a few of them wage-earners, most of them in public schools. It was the evening of the day on which the four murderers had been electrocuted. A member, aged fifteen, addressed the chair as follows: -- "I.move that the whole club stands for two minutes in honor of the four gunmen who died to-day!" Which the club did. Many of the boys com- mented, with thrilling admiration, on how gamely the men had died--as related at great length in the news- papers. Making boys' heroes out of hired cutthroats seems to be a doubtful pro- ceeding. A Serious Danger All along the fences in nearly any direction you may travel, tent worms may Be seen. These pests are be- coming very dangerous to tree vege- tation, and 1t would seem that it was quite time for the township councils to take this matter up and compel the destruction of these pests. To getrid of these worms would not be a difficult task if carefully undertaken. They are all in their tents at sundown, and could be collected and burned, or destroyed by pouring coal oil on them A thorough cleaning of fences of this brush growth would often be a very good thing, both from improved appearance, and because a pest col- lector would be removed. Some of the apple trees are so bad- ly infested that any good farmer would be alarmed; and those who are not good farmers should not be allow- ed to endanger the trees because of neglect or carelessness. It would be a great blessing if the farmers would make up their minds to rid themselves of this pest. It can be done and it should be done. Clean out the fence corners. All in the Way You Look at It. A Port Perry citizen had been. in communication with the C.P.R,, re 'the Raglan road crossing, before the accident that killed Mr. Nesbitt' horse. The officials replied to the complaint, stating that an inspector had been sent to investigate, and he reported that the road was but little used, and there was no need for action. This road is the direct line of trave] between Port Perry and Oshawa, .and .|is considerably travelled. The argument of the inspector amounts to this--There are not many + | people to be killed or hurt, so don't | bother, Itisa very natural report to | com frou a man whose business it iy PORT PERRY BRANCH fo nee oy The crossing at Myrtle Station is very bad. A building' blocks the view on one hand, and a curve in the road on the other. Then there is quite a steep grade at the crossing which makes 1t difficult to stop a rig quickly These dangers will not likely be removed by the C.P.R. until they are so ordered by the Railway Commis sion. There are thousands of such crossings in the country, and each one has been booked as dangerous, and the letters of complaint relating there- to have been duly fyled. The Reach Council is the body that can have these crossings rendered safe to the travelling public; and this ean be accomplished by bringing the mat- ter to the attention of the Railway: Commission, and paying such share of the cost of safeguarding as the Commission may decidé. The Storm A hailstorm of unusual severity visited this district on Wednesday evening of last week. It passed through Saintfield, below Greenbank, and Seagrave; across the the lake to Scugog Island, and on to Blackstock. Some of the hailstones were nearly as large as hen's eggs. A great many windows were broken, The following are some of those who suffered froma this cause: Mr. James Leask, 158 panes in two houses; Mr. John Wat- son, 80; Mr. George Mark, 20; Mrs, O'Neill, 45; Mr. Wm. Pollock, 50; and a few out of Mr. John Mark's windows. On Scugog Island, Messrs H. Demara, John Pearce, and Chas. Hope had windows broken, and the same thing happened to the windows in many houses in Blackstock. Mr. Wallace Bruce, near Seagrave, had an unpleasant experience in the storm. When the hail came down his horse became frightened, and it was some time before he had it under control. During that time the big hailstones were peppering down, leav- ing bruises wherever they struck. Fortunately grain and fruit were not far enough advanced to be des- troyed to the extent that would have been probable later in the season. Some fields of grain, however, that were beginning to show up nicely, appeared as though they had been freshly plowed after the storm had passed. No Room Messages of sympathy are being received from many sources by the bereaved countries who mourn their dead, cut off without warning when the Empress of Ireland sank in the St. Lawrence.. Our petty differences, jealousies, and hatreds are silenced.in the face of death, for "in a world where death is there is no room for hate.
