A man was sentenced: to two months in jail the other day for stealing coal from the CPR. He said he picked it up on the tracks. but the CPR. 1;!)1108 showed that he had filled his bag from the coal pile in the yards. marks in the snow proving this. Also when the police chased him he could have gotten away but he persisted in hanging on to the bag and so was delayed enough to be caught. Fm'ther, it appeared that he was taking the coal to sell. rather than to use. People from Haileybury and New Liskeard suggest the possibility of the Nipissing Central Railway, a subsidiary of the T. 85 N. 0., being discontinued in the spring. This is the electric street railway that for a number of years has connected Cobalt, Hailey- bury and New Liskeard by frequent electric car service daily. For the past few years the service has not been pay- ing its way and now there is question ias to whether it will be continued. gThis electric line has been hard hit by the motor traffic and the keeping open of the road between Cobalt and New Liskeard for motor tramc has not help- ed the situation any. Franchises held by the railway in the municipalities concerned have been expiring one by one and it is understood that the Hail- eybury franchise, which expired last month, was the last franchise is force. None of the franchises have been re- newed and it is understood that no plans have been made for their renew- al. The general opinion in Cobalt and New Liskeard is to the effect that the T. N. 0., which controls the electric railway, has the idea of dropping the street car service and replacing it with a bus service and additional trains, erhaps, on the T. N. O. The dis- tance from Cobalt to New Liskeard is; approximately ten miles and a bus‘ service would seem to ofler a cheaperl and equally \convenient method of I handling the traflic ncw carried by the } electric street railway. While there will be little room to find fault with the T. N. O. for discontinuing a service that can only be run at a steady loss, at the same time there will be general regret at the discontinuance of what may be termed a regular historic service. The Nipissing Central was started as a privately-owned line, con- necting Cobalt with Haileybury in the early days of the silver camp. Later it was extended at the one end to New Liskeard and at the other to Kerr Lake. About 20 years ago the T. N. 0. took over the line from private ownership and it has been conducted as a sub- sidiary of the T. at N. 0. ever since. It saw the growth of the area and no doubt contributed to that growth by the service it gave. Times change, however, and now there is the chance that changed days will see the end of the Nipissing Central's usefulness. Electric Railway May be Discontinued in Spring Last week Premier John Hunter de- voted the week of his holidays to visit- ing important centres throughout the province. Wednesday he addressed a gathering of Trail Ranger and Tuxis boys in the Y.M.C.A. at Kingston. Thursday he assisted in launching the bond. selling campiaign in Toronto. Friday he addressed a large gathering of boys in St. Catharines. Sunday he spcke in three churches in Hamilton. This week he was in Peterboro on Monday; Brantford on Tuesday, Gait on Wednesday; St. Thomas on Thurs- day and Woodstock on Friday. Satur- day he will assist Dr. Langford and Gordon Lam) at, the Boys’ Work Con- ference at Stoney Creek and on Sun- d‘ay evening he will address a special boys‘ service in the United Church at Port Oolborne. Last week J. M. Finlay addressed a Father and Son banquet a: Bracebridge on Monday, a conclave of all the groups in the Barrie district at Barrie on Tues- day, and the Trail Ranger and Tuxis Boys at Midland on Thursday. On Sunday he spake a: a boys’ service in the United Church at Ingersoll. _ money I tended the three enthusiastic meetings Fheld recently in Kingston, Hamilton and Chat-ham. The significance of these gatherings lies in the fact that they are but an expression of the grow- in; sense of responsibility on the part :f mature men for the carrying on of Trail Ranger and Tuxis work. Chas. Daniels of Peterborough. addressed the Kingston meeting; Dr. A. S. Dunton of Paris, H. Stainton of Toronto. the Hamilton meeting and J. D. Fayne cf Toronto, the Chatham meeting.
