A wumrzm 65th Year.` Four 1 Railroad history was made by Si A_llandale_ trammen last Friday W and Saturday in rushing succor to .3. the entombed miners at Tlmmins, tr where thirty-nine lives_were lost in H the Hollinger Mme disaster. Last 8` Saturday night at 6.2-5 a train left W Toronto with Conductor Herbert Curtis in charge and Engineer b. Elliott Ogden at the throttle and 3` arrived in North Bay` at 11.21 the H same night, covering the 227 miles A in. a non-stop run of 4 hours and 8, 56 minutes, or an average of over .` 47 miles. an hour. This record has never been equalled" or even ap- I preached on either the Bala or Al- landale divisions. The regular running time is 9 hours and 20 minutes. Passenger engine 5086, ` one of the latest types, was used, = and the train, composed of the engine and two cars, with s ecial crew and equi ment from ash- lngton, D.'C., adright of way over all traffic. ' The First Relief Train It was also an Allandale crew, Conductor `Charles Hurst and En- gineer Albert Elliott,` who had charge of the first relief train which left Toronto . last Friday ; night at 8.30 and arrived in North Bay the following morning at 2.- o 33 a.m.,_or in 6 hours and 3 min- _ utes. This train carried life savers and gas masks from the Queen City and was hauled by engine 1585, of practically the same type as that which pulled the other tram. It was not a through run, how- ever, and ome trouble was en- countered _at Gravenhurst, where a fteen-minute delay was neces- sary. . 'M-ms. hvn um-fm-mances have sary." These two performances been the talk of the railway world of recent days and have an unusu- al local interest in that both eon- tductors and engineers are well known local men with splendld re- l cords.

It is estimated that so far 1,200 I Barrieites have been vaccinated, of whom 800 are school, children. Vaccination - in the schools _was halted temporarily Tuesday awai_t- - ing a fresh supply of vaccine. The incubation period for small? ` pox is one to two weeks, but the danger point is usually past on the 10th day. The local authorities are hopeful and condent that no fresh cases will develop and have taken the sternest measures to ni-p it in its_ inci-piency. The disease is a. mild form, Dr. Little states. Its `origin was traced to the Cree- more-Stayner district, where a loc- al woman. visited. She did not con- tract the disease. but members of her household did.
