THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE the IflflflNIfl TRAIN SHflUlfl CARRY Mull A5 Bffllflf Much Inconvenience Through Change in Mail Service Accompanying Change of Train Times. There is general approval of the new T. N.(). train service, but this by no means extends to the mail ser- vice. Since the change of the times, the Toronto train no longer carries mail. the Toronto mail instead having to leave here on the 10.20 train. This is generally looked upon as a unneces - sary nuisance and inconvenience. The 12.01 train to Toronto should carry Toronto mail, and if it did the ser- vice would be excellent. The "l‘. N. (L, of course. has nothing to do with the mail service, this being,r a Domin- ion matter, but the question has been taken up with the postal authorities to have the necessary change made for the public, convenience. The question will also likely come up at the Board of Trade meeting on Mon- day evening.

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING THIS EVENING AT 7.30 The regular meeting of the Town Council will be held at 7.30 p.111. this ex e111ng at the town hall. One of the matters to come before the meeting will be the question of the weekly halt- holidax. â€"\ petition w as recent- l\ circulated to have the half- holiday on Thursdm, instead of \\ ednesdm. The stores and clerks generallv, how.- ever, prefer \Vednesday, and this is the day used by neighbouring towns. In View of this any other day than W ednesdax would be a serious handi- (21p e<pe<ialh in the line of sports. 117. A munter petition to have Wednes- dax maintained as the half holidax v. as also circulated this meek and was \er'y largely signed. Some signed both petitions. it is said, not under- standing the import of the first one circulated. Yesterday was observed as the half-holiday. according In the by-law and unless the (‘ounvil changes the by-law Wednesday will continue to be the. half-holiday. L‘ too muc} disregarded Everybody knows that a certain amount of use of the roads is abso- lutely necessarw at all times‘ot' the year. Yet it is equally true that it is foolish to build a few good roads up in this North, only to see them (les- troyetl by improper use. It is within the power of the Northern Develop- ment Department to close the roads to tral'tie (luring the “dangerous period.” Naturally, the Northern Development Department hesitates to take. such drastic action. ]<‘«_1rtunately prohibition is not imperative. With a little care the highways may he used without injury to the roads or particular inconvenience to the peo- ple. During; the hreak- -up time, do not put on l1ea\v loads. Be sure to have as wide tires as possible. Do not travel. with a heavy load, at. a shatteringr rate of Speed. It. is that “shattering” stuff that often puts a roadway on the hummer. We haven’t many roads in this North Land, and we haven’t had them long. ’While they are here, let’s use them well. “Light-loads, wide tires and a slow rate of spee( ” would make a good motto here and now for the benefit of the new roads of the North Land.

BIITH [[65 El" llff BY TRAIN, VllllNB MAN lllES \\'l1ile on the way to his work at the Hollinger on Monday morning, Frank Pilon, a young man of about 25 years of age was run down by an engine while crossing the tracks in the T. N. 0. yards at Timmins, and had both legs cut off below the knee. The engineer who was unable to avoid the accident. promptly picked the un- fortunate man up and hurried him to medical aid. The young man was taken to the Hollinger Hospital where everything possible was done for him. Despite the shock and loss of blood, he lived until this morning. and at one time it was exen hoped that he might survixe the terrible accident. This (Thursday) morning, however, he passed quitely away about 4 am. The deceased was unmarried, and his home was near Ville Marie, Que. He was an employee of the Hollinger and verv highlv respected bv all who knew him. and there is \er\ general sorrow at the accident. lust how the accident occurred is not known, it beingr uncertain whether he thought he could get across the tracks ahead of the engine. or whether he saw the engine. or just what happened.

Other Very Interesting Meet: ing Arranged to be Held Be- fore Then [WEB 1200 IN THE W DAV FABAHE AT IIMMINS Clever Speakers Address Gathering in New Empire Theatre Satur‘ day Evening The largest of any of the May Day parades held in this camp was the one on Saturday last, when fully 1200 men, women and children marched from Timniins to Schumacher in the morning, returning just after noon. There was a large number of children in the parade, as well as many women, and another feature of the parade was the singing lby choirs of children, women and mixed vmees. The par.- ade was a very orderly one, and while a number of banners were carried, none of these were objectionable. The parade was of the type that would naturally attract attention, without rousing any unnecessary an- tagonism. Another feature that pleased all was the prosperous ap- pearance of practically all in the line of march. All were well dressed and appeared to be well-fed and ear- ed-for. Large crowds lined the streets in Tinunins to watch the par- ade march by. ' At Schumaeher an open-air meet- ing was held at the ball grounds, with speeches and singing. Saturday evening the May ay idea was further observed by a mass meeting held in the New Empire Theatre, 'I‘immins, under the auspices; of the Porcupine Mine Workers and the other unions concerned. The special speakers were Mr. J. S. \Vood- worth, M.P., of \Vinnipeg, who deli} vered an inspiring address on labour questions, and Mr. J. McDonald. of Toronto, who spoke in stirring,r tash~ ion on similar ther'ies.
