A SOLDIERS' MEMORIAL.
The attendance at the meeting for
the consideration of the Soldiers'
Memorial on Tuesday evening
brought out a much larger number
of people, than last week's meeting
did. Maybr _Cooper occupied the
chair and Mr. J. Scott was appoint-
ed secretary for the evening, Mr.
R. E. Manning reported for the com-
mittee, explaining what had been
done toward arranging for the erec-
tion of a tneinorial. Mr. Ball had
a design, prepared especially for the
place, of a monument to be erected
in front of the postoffice and the
meeting had the opportunity of ex-
amining it. It was an exceedingly
handsome design and would 'cost
in red granite $10,000 and in grey
$5,000. After some discussion a mo-
tion that the council be asked to sub
mit a bylaw to the people at the Jan-
uary elections for the raising by de-
bentures of $10,000 for the erecting
of this monument was defeated. The
general• feeling of the meeting
seemed to be that while $10,000 was
not too much to spend for a memor-
ial it was a lot of money to put in-
to one piece of granite, especially
as the site was not approved by the
large majority of those present,
Discussion was'very free and the
general wish seemedtobe to arrive
at some decision which would meet
with the approval of the largest
number of people and be the most
fitting tribute to the memory of the
men,
The idea of a park, with a smaller
Monument, and a fund which would
care for the annual up -keep of the
park, found favor with many and
it was thought would not cost any
more than the large monument.
Reeve Ford reported .that Mr. S.
S. Cooper had told him that he was
quite willing to sell his property.
facing • on Ontario and Wfllisen
streets for a parksito, Also the
suggestion was - matte that a new
Public school must be built in the
very near future -and as it would
not likely be built on the old site
that it would be available for a park -
site. One of the objections against
this Man IVIS the fact that at least
two or throe years would elapse be
fore such a plan could be carried
out, Tho result was that a com-
mittee, consisting of Col Combe, M.
R. Sharpe, Mrs. Fair and Mrs. Bry-
done, was appointed to make
equie-
res regarding the gemming of a site
and report
to a public
meeting as

If a suitable and practical s01Om0

LUCKY. HUNTERS.
Clinton hunters have all returned,
Meetly with bulging game bags. Dr,
'Fowler and Messrs. Ilari'is and Seek-
er were hunting big game in the
northern woods and each got a deer,
Messrs. R. H. Johnsen and R. Ball
were duels shooting at Sombre and
report good luck also. The h. c, o.
1. should get a knock -out blow in
these households during the -next week
or so. How long will venison keep
fresh and nice?
ACCIDENTALLY SI-IOT.
Mr, N. A. Phoenix of Hamilton,
who was on a hunting trip in the
Parry Sound District, was accident-
ally shot by a am -tirade who . was
handling a loaded revolver. Two
shots penetrated the fleshy part of
the left arm above the elbow, indict-
ing injuries which will lay hini up
for some time. .Mrs. Phoenix was
visiting in Clinton when her husband
returned from his trip and although
he returned sooner than he had in-
tended" he diel not tell her the reas-
on and she was unaware of his ac-
cident until she returned home Sat-
urday last. A larger number of ac-
cidents than usual seem to have hap-
pend in the hunting fields this seas-
on, although this one happened in
camp and must have been the result
of carelessness in the handling of -'a
gun. '

LESSENED TRAIN SERVICE.
._The uncertainty of the coal situa-
tion is going to have the effect of
curtailing passenger train service on
the G. .T R. and the local agent in-
forms us that the change will core°
into effect on. Nov. 30111, unless a
change in the situation renders such
a reduction unnecessary. The probe -
is that -there will only be one
train.each way on the L. H. & B.
and possibly the early train from To-
ronto will be cancelled. We struggled,
along with inadequate train service
for two or three winters when the par
was on but it seems the circumstan-
ces have not been muck improved.
CAR BURNED.
Dr. Gaudier hacl a curious exper-
ience on Tuesday evening, He was
calling on a patient on the 11th of God-

engine and put ft and his grip inside
and jumped in himself. Just as he
started he noticed a smell of fire and
got out to see what was the matter
and before you could say "Jack Rob-
inson"' the whole thing was in a
blaze. The doctor Managed to save
his grip and the robe he had .just
thown ie but could not even save the
spare tire which was attached behind.
As is usually the case wih a man of
his profession Dr. Gaudier macre good
use of his ear and if the roads keep
clear he will miss it during the next
few weeks.
Fortunately he had the car in-
sured with C. B. Hale, who is mak-
ing a prompt settlement of the claim.
