Friday, April 15. 1910 ___. _...-__. -_.... ._. --.._d Railway Commission Representative Visits .Fenelon Falls. Mr. A. J. NixOn, Chief Inspector for the Board Of Railway Commissioners” came to the Falls by the noon train on Wednesday. to’ hear the complaints which had} been formulated by the Board oijrade and sent to the Board of CommissiOners recently. Mr. Nixon, ‘accompaniedeby officials of" the Grand Trunk, arrived in a special car. ' The G. T. R. representatives were : Mr. W. R. Tiflin, Superintendent of the Nor- thern Division, Allandale ; Mr. J. D. McDonald,,.District Passenger Agent, Mr. C. S. Proctor, Travelling Passenger Agent, Toronto ; and Mr. John Irwin, of Lindsay, Local District Manager. After inspecting the station the party were met in the ladies’ waiting room by a delegation of citizens, and the required changes briefly explained and discussed. The principal thing asked for is a passenger train service that will enable the people of the dis- trict through which this line of the G. T. R. runs to go to Toronto and back the Same day, which c0uld be accomplished by having a fast passen- ger train leave Halibut-ton in time to catch the morning train from Lindsay to the city, returning in the evening. It was pointed 'out that Bobcaygeon gets a service of this kind from the C. P. R., and has nothing like the traffic possibilities of this district. Suggestions as to improvements in regard to freight accommodation and in the station and premises were also made. -.The question of lighting the Station was brought up, and Mr. Titfin said that if. the town would accept a "proposition of two dollars per light per annum, ‘lights would be put in mmediate‘lyf- “9131‘. Mason, M. P. P., and Messrs. _ Jos. McFarland, M. H. McCallumj‘WmLiMc'Arthur, J. L. Ar- nold and _T. Junkin took part in the discussion. ' Mr. Nixon promised to lay the mat- ter before the Commissioners, and that it would receive the most careful con- sideration... -.'The party went north in the afternoon, accompanied by Dr. Mason and bin McCallum, and were met by delegates at Haliburton and Kinmount. ' ’ The need of better train service in this section cannot be questioned, and there is very small doubt, if any, that ' the G. T. R. would enjoy just as large profits after the change as they do now. Dru-Mason drew the attention of Mr. Nixon; to the situation at Mount Albert not leng ago, when the Grand Trunk could not see its way to giving more than a single train service until the Canadian Northern came in. Then it put on a double service, making, with the C. N. R., four trains daily where one was thought to be all that could be prOfitably operated. It is one of the peculiarities of rail way and other corporations that they are unable to see a profit'in giving really good accommodation until a rival concern invades their territory. They can then. do all the things they could not do before, and still make money, at the same time that the opposition is making money too. ' The Grand Trunk people should get rid of the-idea'that they are going to have to run a double service for the traffic now actually existing. The traffic would increase. But, as Chairman Mabee of the Board of Commissioners has said, the accommodation of the public is the main consideration, not the profits of the railways. Almost every railway in the country has been bonused or subsidized by the people. This divi- sion of the Grand Trunk was substan~ tially bonused. The district deserves all that is being asked for, and a full acknowledgement Of the fairness of its claims, and corresponding action by the Railway Commissioners, is confi- dently anticipated. Messrs. Dickson and Clarry Exonerated. The charge brought on March 11th, by Mr. Haughton Lennox, of South Simcoe, implying that there had been col- .lusion. betwwn M r. L. ls‘. Clarry, barris- ter, late of Hastixigs’,figgg Mr. Jgujei ' purposes, was at the same time acting as. ‘ legal agent of' the government in the Dickson, P. L. 8., government valuator of aileged droivned lands, with the know- ledge of the government, was ventilated in the Public Accounts committee on April Ist. The charge in effect was that M r. Clarry, while acting as solicitor for the claimants (mainly in the township of Asphodel) to compensate for damages. from the raising of the water for canal matter of verifying the land titles of persons to whom damages had been awarded, to the lands affected. It came out in the committee that Mr. Lennox had been very zealous in the matter, having spent several days in the vicinity of Hastings interviewing the residents and generally working up a case. He evidently felt that he had a big scandal up his sleeve. M r. Sexsmith, in whose riding the alleged scandal took place, should be satisfied with the zeal display- ed by Mr. Lennox. In the committee Mr Clarry was first examined and told a plain, straightforward story, apparent- ly not at all to the liking of Mr. Lennox, who seemed at times anxious to have the witness accept his views and versions of facts. Mr Clarry's evidence, which was supported by the evidence of some half a dozen other witnesses from Asphodel for whom he had acted, showed that there was, as had been practically charg- ed, no collusion between Clarry and Dickson, and that the former’s arrange- ments with his clients, none of whom had any fault to find with the commis- sion charges, had been open and above board, and with no attempt at conceal- ment. It was proven that while Clarry had subsequently acted as agent for the Department of Justice through which payments to him were to be made, it was onlyrafter the awards for damages had been made and the relation of soliciâ€" tor and client'closed. Nor was it shown that the Department of Justice had any knowledge of identity of the agent, em- ployed to verify titles, with the solicitor who had acted for claimants in respect of damagesto lands. The hearing of the case was adjourned till Wednesday. The report of Mr H. W. Alward of the legal branch of the Railways and Canals Department,who was commissioned by the Minister to investigate the charges made by Mr. Lennox in the House before the Easter recess with reference to al- leged collusion between Mr. L. F. Clarry, acting for the Justice Department, and Mr. James Dickson, acting for the Rail.- ways and Canals Department, in impro- perly assessing damages for lands flood- ed by the Trent Canal works was present- ed to Parliament on April 5th. Mr. Al- ward, after examining some seventeen witnesses, including land-owners, m‘unic- ipal assessors and other conversant with the conditions under which the claims for damages were adjudicated, finds that there was no collusion between Messrs. Dickson and Clarry, that there were no claims improperly paid, and that the in- terests of the Dominion were in every instance properly looked after. His re- port, based on the evidence of the parties in clOsest touch with the legal proceed- ings, exonerates both Messrs. Dickson and " Clarry of any wrong-doing, and shows conclusively that both Depart- ment of Justice and the Department of Railways and Canals have nothing to defend in connection with the case which Mr. Lennox tried to make out. â€"â€"'â€"'â€"_'_..-_______._.._- Fenelon Falls Council.

During the past few weeks we have been securing more evidence against the liquor traffic. The public have recently read of the murder and suicide near Guelph, which was caused by drink, which is a curse to humanity and to any civilized country, this tragedy is equal to the Bobcaygeon crime, which brought about Local Option. The farmers had a chance for a breath- ing spell last Sunday, and the snow which came on Monday gave them a setback, but seeding will be a general thing the latter part of this week. Houseclenning is going on in nearly every house. The satisfaction of getting the work done must certainly be a con- solution. The school reopened after the Easter holidays. The trustees have made con- siderable and important improvements._ Mr. and Mrs. Thos. I-Iewie and family left here last Wednesday for some point in Alberta, N. W. T. Mrs Hewie has not been enjoying very good health and her physician advised her to take this trip. It is: an everyday occurrence to see men behind the plough. The member ' for Victoria and Haliburton spends many precious and costly minutes and hours talking about the man behind the gun, something which is of no importance, anda great many farmers who support Sam have grave doubts in their minds as to the benefit they are receiving in rc~ turn for their votes. _ The Rev.
