Necessary to Use Back Road to South Porcupine This week it has been found necesâ€" sary to close the highway from near Schumacher to South Porcup.ne. Acâ€" cordingly what is known as the Back Road has to be used by all wishing to go from Timmins to South Porcupine or from South Porcupine or Dome to Timmins. The closing of the highway was absolutely forced by considerations of safety. Signs put up were ignored. Despite warning signals and other meâ€" thods mattempted to protect the safety of the men at work and to avoid danâ€" ger for the public, cars and trucks perâ€" s.sted in speedy travel and caused endâ€" less danger and alarm. It may have been only a few but even one or two created so much danger that nothing seemed to remain but to close the road, and force a detour by way of the Back Road. With blasting in progress a great part of the time andg with large numbers of men at work on the highâ€" way between Schumacher and South Porcupine the ignoring of the warnâ€" ing signs created much danger. There was also the general danger to the public from the operations. Another factor in the decision of the engineer in charge to close the road for traffic is the fact that traffic is comparatively light on the road now and whatever time the road is out of use now will be saved in the spring. It was considered much better to have the road closed now than in the spring. In Interests of Public and Safety Traffic Being Detoured from Schumacher to South End. Signs have Not been The road from Timmins to Schumaâ€" cher is still open and traffic is carried on as usual to the Coniaurum Mine. From the Coniaurum Mine to South End, however, the road was closed down for traffic on Wednesday mornâ€" ‘ng of this week and will remain closâ€" ed until further notice. Traffic beâ€" tween Timmins and South Porcupine must use the Back Road. In the mceantime Leo Mascioli, contractor, has large gangs of men at work and 1s rushing the construction as much as possible. According to word from London, Engâ€" land, the Home Secretary‘s office has informed Geo. Lainsbury, Labor leadâ€" er, that Mrs. May Brownhill, 62â€"yearâ€" old mother ,condemned to die for the "mercy slaying" of her imbecile son, will be reprieved. Mother Not to Die for Killing of Imbecile Son Mrs. Brownhill, frail woman of Leeds, receiveqd the sentence because she gave her son, Dennis, 100 sedative tablets and gas. Her plea was that she had nursed Dennis for 30 years and killed him only when she learned she would have to underg> an opteration which might cost her life, thus leaving him without her attention. â€" The: jury recommended mercy, but the judge carried cout the law.

Highlight of an otherwise tame elecâ€" tion which saw a very light vote polled was the near passage of the only money bylaw, the $75,000 water extension to Chaputâ€"Hughes subâ€"division here. The byâ€"law was defeated 344 to 272. The post of reeve of Teck townâ€" ship council was filled without an elecâ€" tion when Dick Carter, chief executive in 1926â€"27â€"28, was accorded an acclaâ€" mation at the annual ratepayers‘ meetâ€" ing last week.

New Link of Road to Employ About 4,500 Between Thirty and Forty ~ Camps to be Established for Section of the Transâ€" Canada Highway. Announcement was made on Tuesâ€" day, acccording to The Mail and Emâ€" pire by Hon. Peter Heenan, minister of northern development, that between 30 and 40 camps, housing possibly as many at 4,500 men, would be located on the proposed White Riverâ€"Schreiber link of the Transâ€"Canada Highway, once that road, under the pending Ottawaâ€"Onâ€" tario agreement gets under way. Ladies‘ Night Last Evening at Kiwanis Departmental engineers, Mr. Heenan stated, are now working on the locaâ€" tions and other details, and the govâ€" ernment plans to improve, if possible. in their construction on the type of camp that has been used on other secâ€" tions of the crossâ€"country highway. No decision has been made by the government as to whether the White Riverâ€"Schreiber stretch will be built by contract or by hand labour. At least half of the road will require extensive rockâ€"cutting and inasmuch as this type of construction can be supplied much more cheaply than by hang labour, the feeling in unofficial circles at Queen‘s Park is that a contract will be let. The meeting of the Kiwanis Club this week took the form of a "Ladies‘ Night" on Wednesday evening, and proved a most enjoyable occasion. The event was held at the Legion building, and President Vincent Woodbury was in the chair. References to the reports for the year showed the finances Of the club in good shape and ‘the year a genâ€" erally successful and useful one. _ The evening was featured by excellent musical numbers. Mrs. P. H. Carson‘s solos were much appreciated and won sincere applause on merit. The Hawaiâ€" ian Quartette (E.

At Amos, Quebec, on Tuesday of this week Jeanne Corbin, formerly a school teacher at Sudbury, and latterly said to ‘be the editor of a journal, "The Worker" was sentenced to three months imprisonment for voicing seditious utâ€" terances at a meeting of bush workers at Noranda some months ago. Miss Corbin has spent considerable time in Timmins in recent years and when in trouble with the policse on more than cne Occasion her address was given as Timmins, Ont. At the trial at Amos, Mr. Justice Romeo Langlois, Quebec, said he thought it useless to recommend the woman to make better use of her lalents and the term of three months was imposed. At the same court Joseph Henry Donohue, who has made his headquarâ€" ters chiefly at Kirkland Lake, and who is described in despatches as an agiâ€" tator, was convicted of the same ofâ€" fence as Miss Corbin. He drew a penâ€" alty of six months in jail, though the jyudge said he was taking into considerâ€" ation the fact that Donohue already had been a prisoner for some eighteen months,. Miss Corbin and Donolhue were the ast two in a large group who were charged with seditious utterances or otherwise creating trowble in connecâ€" tion with the rioting and other ‘disâ€" order at Noranda and district. nephew," she said.

In the case of Beryl Meserve, of New Liskeard who was charged with criminal negliâ€" gence, the grand jury returned a true bill. The trial of Meserve was continâ€" ued at the general sessions, at which Judge Hayward is presiding. Judge Hayward is taking the place of the senior judge, Judge Hartman, who is on the sick list. In the case of Meserve, the defenâ€" dant charged with criminal neégligence is also accused of having been intoxiâ€" cated while driving a motor car. On this count the grand jury also returned a true bill. The charges are sequels to an accident last October in which three youths were hurt, one of them being rather seriously injured. There was one civil action at the Haileybury court, but after counsel in the case had agreed to strike out the jury notice, they also agreed with His Honour to have the evidence taken at a special sitting of the court in Kirkland Lake on January 30th, both parties to the case being Kirkland residents.

Priâ€" vate Car Painted and Bears Number. The T. N. O. Railway Commuission were in Timmins on a tour of inspecâ€" tion of the line on Tuesday evening. They came here by business car, the private car idea having been abolished by Premier Hepburn. The car used was formerly the "Whitney." It is unâ€" derstod to be the same car inside, but it has been painted outside and the word "Whitney‘" obliterated, the car instead being now only No. 200, the figures "200" being painted where the name used to be. This is not likely to be the idea of the commission, for everybody surely recognizes the fact that it is only business sense to use A business or private car for the work of the commission when on the road for inspection or other trips. Included in the party on the cars coming in here on the 9.05 train were: Mac Lang, chairman of the T. N. O. Commission; A. H. Cavanagh, general manager; A. J. Parr, general passenger agent; A. C.

The Temiskaming apd Northern Onâ€" tario Railway now has a modern, upâ€" toâ€"theâ€"minute stock pen and chute for the loading and unloading of horses, cattle, sheep, etc. There is a high fence also erected along with a good corral. The new equipment has been built on the east side of the track beâ€" low Kirby avenue, alongside of the Mcâ€" Collâ€"Frontenac property. The need for the stock pen and chute has been apparent for a long time. On their recent visit to Timmins the need was called to the attention of the comisâ€" sion. "Have it built at once," was the decision, and that is just what was done.
