Friday, May 3131;, 1907. Railway Companies and Accidents. The fatal accident at the Esplanade level crossing in Toronto, last Friday night, is indignantly commented upon by the whole city press. Under the above heading the World says : “Probably in no other civilized com- munity in the worldâ€"â€"save those on this continent-â€"could there be any doubt re- garding the duty of railWay Companies to conduct their service under proper regulations for the protection of the general public, and to provide bridge accommodation necessary for the public safety and convenience. Yet there is the utmost dilliculty~amounting almost to impossibilityâ€"to get the" Dominion government and parliament to recognize the responsibility resting upon them to compel railroads to adopt precautions absolutely required, or to punish the inâ€" dividuals responsible oithor for their lack or for their breach. The truth is that corporation influence so dominates Dominion politics that nothing short of a popular" upheaval will su’cceedin re- storing the relations between the state and the public service companies to their proper basis. “The loss of life, both in Canada and the United States, in connection with railroad accidents occurring from pre- ventible causes, is appalling. cally everyone, even a railroad ollicial, admits that safety should be the prime consideration in public transportation. But, day in and da: - m. if». companies continue to massacre and maim’ passen- gors on their trains, and pedestrians and others who have lawful occasion to cross their lines, simply because regulations arcignorcd and proper and reasonable safeguards are not provided or are igâ€" nored. With Canada’s rapidly growing population and the increase in rail- road traveling, and in the use of level crossings, more stringent government supervision is imperativoly demanded, remedies as will compel railroad compa- nies to operate their lines with due re- gard to the pub l" sxl‘cly. And there should be, too. ngul-zn-mntal enquiry inâ€" to every railway accident, whether acâ€" companied by loss of life or not, and that of a character which will reveal its cause. Defective tracks and appliances, imperfect or disregarded regulations, can thus be ascertained, and efficient measures taken to protect the people.” That ’s the talk! But when will the “ efficient measures " be taken ? Not for a long time, we fear. The-railroad com- panies will not do anything, except un- m- compuésion . and they have so much " pull " in various ways that it is exceedâ€" inglydillicult to induce the wielders of compulsion to hit them with it. .Thc (llobc says: “ it needed no prophet to (“m-toll that what hannencd on Friday night was sure to happen.” Then why did n't.tho Globe foretell it, and keep on forctelling it in every issue until the citizens got wrathy and forced the au- thorities to take action. It is unendura- lilo that the lives and limbs of the resi- dents of Toronto, and of visitors to that city, should be at the mercy of a “ soul- corporation”; 'but we fancy that they will be for a good while longer, un- less action in the matter be expedited by tho kiling or maiming of some distin-_ guished personage at one of the level crossings. It a member of the cabinet, the president of a. railway company, or oven a more millionaire, got run over by a train, it would be a mighty good thing for the common people, and nearly all the papers would be lamenting the loss of so “ valuable " a life. ‘ may."

Of.a._kindly nature : and jovial disposition, he was respected and liked by all-who knew him. He first 1later in the township of Verulam, where wife and one son predeceased him sev- eral years, and he is survived by three sons, Thomas, of Ti1bury, Ont., Robert ,and Johnston in the North-west, and five daughters, Mrs. Thos. J unkin, Verulam, Maggie, Toronto, Miss Sarah, Port Hope, and Miss Jemima, of Fenclon. Mr. Pat- , torson was a staunch Liberal in politics and a member of the Baptist church. His funeral on Tuesday was very largely attended, the Masons and Independent Foresters attending in large numbers. Janus ELLIS. J amcs Ellis, almost universally known as “ Big J im Ellis,” was borrrinNér-ulam township seventy-one years ago, and spent his youth in that township. In his early manhood he followed the hunber- ing business with various firms then op- erating in this locality, almost always in the capacity of foreman or “ boss." His unfailing good nature, fondness of a joke, along with his fine physique and strength, made him an exceptional favor- ite with his men and endeared him to his friends. Many an anecdote is told of “Jim” and his exploits. About thirty years ago he moved to the Parry Sound district, following the receding lumber trade, and there he became as well known and liked as in his native place. 'A vacancy occurring in the agency of the Crown Lands for that district a. few years ago, he was appointed to the ollice and discharged its dutiesfaithfully until the time of 'hi‘sdeathpwhich occurred at ll’arry Sound‘ on May 24th. The inter- ment at Fenelon Falls on~Sunday, May -2lith. was attended'by'alarge number of his old friends.

Council met as Court of Revision. The members having, been; sworn, Mia. Carew was elected chairman. Mr. James Pogue- appealed, complaim ing that his assessment was too high.. The assessment was confirmed, and changes were made in.the roll. in.oases where parties had sold property‘since the assessing was done, etc: The roll was confirmed, and the Court ofaRevision then adjourned. The move took the chair, and the min- utes‘ot last meeting were read and com l l l .w o. 1"» 5% Maw-â€" firmed. ‘ ' Mr. Taylor complained that a lawyer was not engaged in the appeal of Brodie & Forrester against the award of the fence-viewers. The sum of $200 was granted to sup- plcmcnt a grant of $400 by the govern-a mont; $100 Was granted to be spent on the road between Coboconk and McFar= lane's, to supplement a grant of thesam‘s‘ amount by the government; and Mr. John Wilson was authorized to get ce- ment tile for two culverts.

The Provincial Government has Voted $75,000 for the purpose of teaching the school children to be loyal. For our part we do at think much of this flag busi- ness. The last year Mr. Thomas Mark taught school here he had a flag-staff put up and purchased a new flag; and that flag was hoisted every public holi~ day, and whenever there was a death in the community the llag could be seen at half mast ; but since M r. Mark left the ling has never been raised. So we can see quite clcarly that the Government is going to try and inculcate a spirit of loyalty amongst the school teachers, as Well as amongst the pupils. A few new shingles on some of the school houses would do more good than a flag", and the one in S. S. No. '4, FcncIOn, could be inâ€" cluded in the number. The press and the public denounce the expenditure of such a large sum of money for.loyalty purposes. - ‘ On Wednesday, the 16th, Mr. Robert Eyrcs raised his new barn. Mr. Thomas: Archer was civil engineer of the struc- ture. The first of this week Mr. J. B. Powlcs shot a very large hawk. lt measured 3 feet 9 in. from tip to tip of its wings, and we would judge, from its general makeâ€"up, that it could knock out. any hen, or rooster either, in the first round. 1 Mr. Robert Jackett, of Fenelon Falls> has leased the Robe farm for ranching purposes, and already has about forty head of cattle on it. The grass is not growing very fast, as the sun has been. goingdown behind an iceberg for some » time past, and getting up cold in the morning. ' On the 24th Mr. Alex. McGee deliv- ered ten or twelve head of cattle, which were shipped from Cameron. They were a fine lot, and no doubt would command; a good figure. _ There has not been much improvement in Mrs. E. Kendall's condition since last week, and her many frinds are anxiously hoping to hear thal she is getting better- Victoria Day passed oil very quietly here. Mr. N ormun Martin took a spin up to Cameron in his automobile, accom- panied by his father. Mr. John Willock is busy framing the timbers for Mr. H. W. Johnston's. barn, and Messrs. Lane and Wesscls are doing the mason work. Some snow fell here on Monday cvon- ing, but not enough to maks sleighing. This kind of weather, if continued, will cause a lot of auction sales next winter. Burnt (Correspondence of the Gazette ) The 24th of May was royally celebratâ€" ed at Burnt River, and the weather was all that could be desired for a holiday. The people of the surrounding.country came in early and enjoyed themselves. The ice cream stand run by the ladies of St. Luke's church was so well patronized that the supply was not equal to the de- mand. The dinner and tea under, the same management appeared to give such good satisfaction that the provisiouwas entirely exhausted. We will let the Fenelon Falls boys t all aboutjtho football games. We don't want to blow (for them) ; all the sum: w; are pleased that they came, and hope that they were so well pleased that they will come again. At the concert in tho evening the hall was packed full, and all present were well rewarded, as the concert would have been a credit to' a much larger,- placc than Burnt River.
