' .l.`here is a good Ideal of unreason- nbleness in the criticism by some To- W ronto journals on the Grand Trunk management in the present `trying bltuation in this section of Ontario. (Whatever grounds there may have been tor complaints against the ser- .vice last fall. there have been less for that of the A,win.t7er service so far. Not for many. manywears has there been such a heavy snowfall so early in the ._winter as in this season. Many cuttings have been filled up and the almost daily 'fl'urries and high winds have rendered .`them almost impass- ible, yet the lines [have been ` kept Aspen `and operated with as little de- lay ;as possible. In the old days, when -such conditions existed. the lines were trequently plosed for days tandsome- times as long as `a week, and Jtherc. was less complaint then than now, when the lines are kept open.
