These Suits for Boys lrom A fiendish act was perpetrated on Monday night which happily failed of its intended effect. Some person gained access to the room in which. slept Miss Ethel Barnes and her little isister, saturated the bedding with fees] oil, set it on fire and then escap- ed hnrridly. The blaze woke up the little girl and she rsised an slam. Her father rushed upst “rs and soon smothered the fin The thing hsppened about. ’1‘ rennt who committed it we: he some one who threw st Kiss smothered the fin happened about. '1‘ committed it was one who throw Borneo ono nigh mo ' 'K‘W‘u T501333; rennt who be some nt Iiu wooh To show how reports fly we may simply refer to the fact that a few weeks ago Mr. Jas. Russell of Fort William, spent a day or two visiting his people here, and was scarcely seated in his father’shouse before the report went out that Jim was down with the smallpox. He was here only a day or two, and though he has the use of only one leg he was able to go seven miles an hour on his bicycle, at any time during his visit, and further more he was back doing busmess 1n Fort William before some of the gossip mongers had him good and sick of the smallpox. We never mentioned this before. In fact we didn't give the matter more than a passing thought. If everyone would be honest with himself. honest with his neighbor, and avoid the criminal negligence that, we regret to say, some are guilty of, the most of diseases that visit us at some times in our lives would soon be stamped out, and furthermore it is our firm belief that in all cases of contagious disease the schools should be at once closed. We may just say in conclusion that Durham is not an unhealthy town, and we think the facts in the case will hear us out in what we say. and moreover, we truly believe there is no danger in coming to town so long as you keep away from actual contact with those who are deceased. ' The Board of Health. and the Council also, have adopted measures to confine the disease as much as possible by placarding the houses and placing the occupants under quaran- tine at the will of the medical at- tendant. whose duty it is to advise the Health Officer when the placard should be removed. If those whose families are afflicted will not submit to the regulations and keep them- selves isolated for the prOper time, the Board of Health and the Council are surely not to blame. More than that they should institute legal pro- ceedings and have the law respected, During the present summer we have had cases of diphtheria. There is, we understand. not a single in town now. From first to last we be- lieve there was not a single death to occur where the patient was taken in time, and subjected to what is now-a-days regarded as proper up-t0« date medical treatment. So rapidly. in fact. did the afflicted ones recover under the administration of anti-tox- me. that those who knew diphtheria years ago would scarcely believe the present ailment to be a kin to what was formerly regarded as fatal. We had an epidemic of typhoid here last fall, a number of our citi- zens having been laid up with the disease. The wiseacres of the town attributed the visitation to a number of causes, some of which might have been right, and the charge would be attributed to one or other, and uni- versally believed had it not been learned that during the same time that we were afflicted here the dis- ease was more or less common throughout the whole of the North American Continent. It wasn’t our ceSSpool, it wasn’t our river that affected those in the rural regions of the Prairie province. Opinion of our correspondent. we take the most charitable view of the situation and conclude he is in- fluenced too much bv the ”hear say ” evidence that finds a prolific breeding ground in the town of Dur- ham, and is well nurtured in town and country alike as it leaves its birth place. Our Traverston correSpondent lets himself loose and opens out on the Durham Board of Health. and muni- cipal machinery generally. We feel that we would be exceedingly remiss in our duty were we to allow his charges to go unchallenged. We have no doubt our worthy cor. speaks in good faith, but when he insinuates that we as a people live in the midst of pestilential cesspool, he argues from insufficient data, or he is mak- ing a wilful misrepresentation of facts. ' The following concludEd the Trav- erston budget last week :°“ We have a wold to say about the gem-produc- ‘ing, lever-breeding cesspool in the town of Durham, There'sa screw loose or a cog ajar in the health pro- tecting machinery somewhere, or the town wouldn’t be ravaged by disease so long. Not only the town but the whole countryside is threatened. We wonder if a visit from the Pro- vincial Health Inspector wouldn’t be of some benefit? The disposal of the sewerage of the town might at- tract his attention and some other matters, we presume would get a sifting, The vicinity is talking ofi boycotting the place, unlessa change' for the better takes place.

June 22nd, 1901: The Peninsular Portland Cement Company had a car load of the pro- duct of the Cement City Mill put to the most severe tests recently in Chicago, and the city engineer pro- nounces it the best ever used there. Our marl here is of the highest grade and will produce a betterarticle and the grade of cement manufactur- ed will be the BEST.

By the surveyon‘s’ measurements and levellings, \Vil«'lers Lake is 232 feet'higlier than the location of the Cement. mill. consequently very little power will be necessary for trans- portation of marl from the Lake to the Mill.
