C B Th es %% M w ht i m»\ ANOTRER. T. WAtCK AND Still NO Onf HUMT ‘The "T,. N. 0. Luck *‘ will yet beâ€" come a proverb In these days when practically all railroads are havi mg accidents aâ€"plenty, the T. N. Railway is among the leaders in tlus line, hardly a week passing without one or more wrecks,. on the Peopleis Railway, but the T. N. O. offsets this illâ€"luck by a form of good luck. This good luck is suggested by the T. N. 0. boast that it never kills or inâ€" jures a passenger. This rule is apparently extended also to the emâ€" plowees of the railway, for.in all the gecidents that happen it is rarely inâ€" deed that any of the trainmen are even shaken up particularly. On Wed nesday last the T. N. O. had a strile ing‘example of its doubleâ€"edged luck ’â€"â€"-'good and> bad. Through the turnâ€" ing of.a switch at Kelso No. 1 was run off the track. The engine was turned right over before the train stopped, ‘but that was about all the damage that was done. The engineer ‘and frremanâ€"stayed right in the engine, it is said, but were not hurt at all. None <of the passengers were injured and little property damage resulted from the accident. The Freck only caused a delay of bout an hour and a half. It was a striking e\ample all round of N. 0. Luck."" Engine Turns Over dn No. 1 But T. '. N. 0. Luck There were many fishing parties *during the weekâ€"end and on the holiâ€" day, with the variabte *‘ fisherman‘s luck."‘ There was one party went up the river, had all sorts ofâ€"trouble with lthe motor boat and other things, and then did not catch a single fish, Others however, had much . better. fortune, and there were lots of fish caught Auring the past few days, though, as usual, the biggest of them got away. _ o o. SUDBURY TO SPEND : $100,000 FOR NEW HOUSES. In order to allow the Housing Comâ€" mission to proceed with the erection of more houses in Sudbury under the Government scheme, the Sudbury Town Council is isguing debentures to the extent jof $108 000.00 to provide the necessary funds. The Sudbury Commission claims that a comfortable house,costs about $4,000.00 to put up. Eight houses are now being erected with the money left over from last year. . The debentures will ‘proâ€" vide for other badly ngeded houses.. Last week arrangements were made by the two congregations concerned to have a union of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches at Colalt, ‘the ‘union church to start on its way on the first Sunday in July. Rev. A. W. Aceceding to despatches in the daily papers, Mr. Harry Oakes, preâ€" sident of the Lake Shores Mines at Kirkland Lake, and connected with many other‘ North Land mining proâ€" ‘perties now and in times past, recentâ€" ly -arri\ ed in Paris ‘by airship from London, England. He was en route to Monte Carlo. Another despatch in the newspapers the same day last week 5 d to "the story that the operators of the mines at Cooke City, |: ‘Montana, had been approached by the Alaska Airplane ‘E*orporatlon with a| view to contracting for carrying. out ore and bringing in supplies while ~waiting the completlon of a railroad. to the mmes. Accurding to the desâ€"} patch the airplane service would not only be much qmel\er but it would cut the cost of tlansportatwn to about {oneâ€"half of what it is by the present {slow wagon roads.. Putting these two items together, is it too mmh fo exâ€" pect that, Mr Harry Oakes on his next visit to the North ma; come ready t6 supply an airship servâ€" ice for the ntines and prospects of this North Land that are held back from chance of development by lack of o transportation facilities? ]t‘ may be noted that The Advancee simply puts thé matter in the form of a queatxon‘ without suggesting. anyâ€"ans‘wer.© The ddl]\’ newspapers, however, now that the suggestion is made, are very liable to come out w ith tne statement J;hat what" is now . only ‘an nnpvobable posmblhty 18 accmdmv to their imâ€" aginative enterprise an inev itable acâ€" tuality. _ P22 > Hone, pastor of the MethGdist church at Cobalt, is leaving in June, and the Preshyterian minister, Rev. . V . Me Leanchas also resigned to alldw a new pastor for the union church to be seâ€" lected. Rev. F. L. Brown, superintend ent of Methodist Missions for Northâ€" ern ‘Ontario, and ‘Rev. J. D. Byrnes, who holds the similar position in the Presbyterian Church, were in Cobalt, last week in connection with the proâ€" ceedings to amalgamate < the two churches into a Union church. COBALT PRESBYTERIANS | AND METHODISTS UNITE. HARRY OAKES TRAVELS * TO PARIS BY AIRSHIP. FATHER WORKED IN STORE CHILDREN HAD SMALLPOX. were recently several cases before the Magistrate at Sudbury where charges were made that certain families had recently contributed to the spread of smallpox by neglectâ€" ing quarantine and other â€"precautions. One claring case 6f this kind was that of: a Sudbury merchanpt â€" named Leandre Provost. His children had smallpox and at the same time he kept his store open and served in it himself though living at home andâ€"constantly being inâ€"contact with the danger of infeetion. . Prevost was fined $"5 00 and COStb defence concerned itself largely with the argument that the persons charcred by the law were ignorant of what they m'eraxeal- ly dbing. One of the doctors giving evidence said that 28 or 30 eases had developed m a montn, due largely to the \sas the. people ne(rnected vaceinâ€" _atlon and evaded qualantme He said the‘ people: knew smallpox all right only too well, but ance gettm it in their own families trred to ev ade| any further loss or discomfort by cealing the fact. One of their favour ite trieks, accovdmg to t\hls doegor, was to call in a doctor in early stages of the disease when it would: "not be absolutely dnagnosed Then they would tell the doctor in a day or two that the patient was all right and he nead not return. They could then use the argument that neither . the doctor nor the family knew ~that a certain sickness â€"was tribu to:the spread of the disease such> methods .as those suggested abowe. This: investigatwn eansed the smalipox: An investigation ‘hyd to be undertaken by the: Health Authorities on acconnt of the way-thg p§ople conâ€" hg‘i:!g of charges against several: as noted above.
