PAGE EIGHT Railway News (Continued 'trom page 6) Vernon, B.C.--The Canadian Pa. tific Railway has completed at Okanagan Landing an extension of its ice house at that Joint, giving about 20 per cent, addifional stor. age cap:city, Besides this there will be an mptoved method of icing ears which will enable the workmen to crush the required ice in advance of arrival of cars, so that when cars conie off the lake, the loads may be ut to ice house and the entire train ced with one movement of the switch engine, This should ma- terially hasten the movement of the fruit from Okanagan Landing. It is expected that cars will be iced in about four minutes each. The amount of ice put up at Okanagan Landing this year is 8,500 tons, It was brought from Banff and is exceptionally good, and should be adequate for 3 very prosperous season. sh -- How medical. advice was conveyed by wireless and acted upon with benefit to the sufferers was told by r. E. W, Drury, su n of the Canadian Pacific liner "Metagama," upon the arrival of that vessel from hada at Liverpool. During the etagama's ward run five wireless messages were received from three steamers, viz, "Canadian Raider," "Dun. bridge," and "Agadir," asking for advice: (1) With regard to the treatment of the chief engineer of the "Can- adian Raider," who was suffering from kidney disease, (2) A man on the "Dunbridge," who had sustained a severe crush- ing of one of his hands. (3) A fireman who had been the victim of a serious accident on the "Agadir." ive replies were sent at the in- stigation of Dr. Drury, the "Meta- gama" being at the time at least 200 miles distant from the vessels named, Replies were that 'satisfactory progress was attending the treat- ment of patients in accordance with Dr. Drury's instructions. east Calgery.--*1 did the company out of $2.50 and I have hard'y been able to sleep ever since. | enclose a 're- mittance for this amount, am - sorry for what I've done." This was what a man now resid- ing in Eastern Canada wrote J. E. Proctor, District Passenger Agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway. He apparently has been much troubled ever since he "put it over," and has done what his conscience dictated. "Do you receive many of these kind of letters" asked a press representa- tive when Mr, Proctor showed him the letter? "Oh, yes, quite a lot," said the District Passenger Agent, "probably on the average one a month in this division alone. | can- not .say what it. might be before the v#)le of the Canadian system. Of cw ree | am referring to the pas- senger department alone for there are mary others,' Mr. Proctor eall- ed for his "conscience" fyle, which bore out his remark that it is a very frequent occurrence for people "to lose sleep" after defrauding the company, Some of these rum into fairly large amounts; for instance, one of them some iittle time ago re- turned the company $75. He had taken advantage of a settler's rate, but instead of going on the land he went to Vancopver and engaged in some other occupation. On one occasion a map wrote enclosing $5, of which amount he said he bad de- frauded the company, and this oc- curred many years ago. Montreal.--The Dominion Express Company have had in operation in Montreal during the past few months a unigue system for the con- veyance of Express shipments in transfer between stations in the city, and the distribution of delivery end collection shipments in districts situated four and five miles from the railway stations. This is the tractor trailer system. The tractors are simply two-ton trucks, with a fifth wheel or turning plate mount- ed on the chassis in place of the ordinary truck body; and in the cen- tre of this fifth wheel is one portion' of the automatic coupling device. The trailers are large, completely enclosed bodies, with a capacity of three and a half tons, or 518 ft. cubie measurement, each mounted on two rear wheels, with solid rubber tyres. and two small front wheels, with folding legs, to hold the trailer up and permit of movement to any de- sired position when free from the tractor. On the front of the chassis of the trailer are two small wheels for mounting the track of the fifth wheel on the tractor, and permitting turning of the equipment within 8 small radius when coupled vp: alse the other ior: of the coupling de- vice by which the tractor and trailer are coupled up. The process of coupling and un- coupling is a matter of seconds only. merely involving the raising of a lever. The driver never leaves his seat. On the road the trailer brakes itself automatically. The station staffs attend to the loading and unloading of the trail- ers, which handle forty to fifty loads and travelling from ninety to 100 miles each daily. 'The whole system is operated on a regular scl le.

E. Phillips Co. To Begin Active Operations Next Week The factory of the W. K. Phillips Company, the construction of which was. recently completed, is being equipped with machinery for the commencement of manufacturing operations. A Reformer representa- tive visited the factory yesterday af- ternoon, the first time in two weeks, and found that rapid progress had been made. In the large main building, one storey high, and of ewita brick, the machinery is now being installed with a large force of men at work. The wing saved from the flames dur- ing the Thornton fire has been re- paired and renovated and is now in use, and in fact it has been for some time. To the rear of the main fac- tory another building is going up, The Reformer learned that the company has plenty of orders om hand and expected to begin active operations next week. Manufactur- ing material has been brought in in large quantities to ensure quick ex- ecution of all orders. The company already has quite a payroll and hopes to increase same from time to time.

W. Graves of the Missouri Supreme Court went out to feed his chickens the other morning he found that in the night the flood waters of Moreau River, which, washes the bluffs at the rear of his suburban property, had deposited a shack on his land. In the shack was a whisky still which had evidently been in op- eration recently. It had a capacity of about ten gallons a day, but to date nobody has claimed it.

MILD INFLUENA EPIDEMIC HER: Said To Be Subsiding Now-- Whole Families Have Been Stricken An epidemic of influenza or the old "flu" in a mild form, as one doc- tor put it yesterday, has been going the rounds In Oshawa for the past six weeks or more, but. according to reports is gradually subsiding. The Reformer gathered from a loca) doc- tor yesterday, who has been very busy, that there have heen quite a number of cases, whole familles hay- ing been taken down with it. Like the "flu" of three years ago this mild form spreads very quickly, usu- ally beginning with a slight cold and developing aches and pains like the old grippe, and a general indisposi- tion. Its duration has been from four days to as long an «nree weeks. Dr. Rundle stated yesterday that the epidemic showed signs of sub- siding, although he was still having five or six cases a day come in. So far he had only known of one death through the development of pneu- monia, an indication that the disease was not anything like the one which took such a heavy toll of lives, At the Public Health Department it was stated that while a very large number of people were suffering with colds, some of a very ssvere type and lasting generally three or four days, so far no doctors had been heard to diagnose the illness as influenza. -- A Baby Bonnets F.
