PUB. DATE	EVENT	DETAILS
February. 1, 1913	Morris's Record	Lighthouses Erected in one Term With Bond's Two Terms. In perhaps few things has Morris done better, than in the erection of lights to warn the fishermen and seamen of this country. Much credit has been given Bond for those placed during his term. 33 in all, including many small ones; but Morris in half the time has placed more than double the number. Seventy-seven lights have been placed by the present Government, composed of 17 lighthouses, 14 harbor lights, 6 new fog alarms, 3 fog alarms equipped with modern plants, 15 light stations equipped with new lights and modern plants, 19 lights and fog alarms arranged for and in process of construction. Surely a good record, a record which can be verified, if necessary, by the Marine and Fisheries Dept. records.
February. 1, 1913	Why Can't Twillingate Have a Local Council?	Bell Island has recently taken advantage of the act passed by the Morris Government and petitioned for a local Council. The election was accordingly held on Jan. 15th and nine members were elected. The total vote polled was 355. We congratulate Bell Island in its new Council and trust it will prove of much benefit. We rise to ask "what's the matter with Twillingate having one too?"
February. 1, 1913	Trap Out in January	We understand that Messrs. Geo. SAUNDERS and Stanley PARSONS, of the Arm, have a trap out now in the berth where Mr. CHURCHILL did so well last year, and will leave it there all the winter. Surely this is the limit!

The fire brigades were quickly on the scene, and before long had the blaze under control, but not before Mr. MYER's dwelling was badly damaged, and the adjoining one of Dr. STAFFORD, injured by smoke and water. Both are covered by insurance. The loss of jewellery and clothing was considerable.
February. 1, 1913	Our Weekly Budget from St. John's (Part 3)	Over 200 packages of mail matter reached here early Monday via Placentia per S. S. Glencoe. This large mail was due to the accumulation at Port aux Basques since the destruction of Leeche's Brook Bridge.

On Tuesday afternoon the firm were informed by cable of the ship's arrival at Pernam after a very stormy passage, during which the Mate was washed overboard and drowned. This family has been severely afflicted, for this is the third son to be lost at sea within a year, and the sympathy of the whole community will go out to the bereaved ones, in their hour of sorrow and mourning.
February. 1, 1913	Our Weekly Budget from St. John's (Part 9)	The Hospital nurses and their friends had quite an enjoyable time af the opening of the new building on Tuesday night.

Old Neptune has been very severe with the Furness line recently. The loss of the Florence, with several of their ships badly damaged and returning to some haven for repairs, will in the aggregate, tot up a considerable loss. Up to the present, seven bodies have been recovered from the lost Florence, but none could be identified.
February. 1, 1913	Our Weekly Budget from St. John's (Part 14)	Death has been very busy in our midst the past week and in some cases the call has come with awful suddenness. Herbert HAYWARD, son of the the late A. C. HAYWARD, died suddenly at his mother's home on Thursday, and John CURNEW of Cabot Street, was suddenly called home on Thursday night. The shock to the families must have been a severe one.
February. 1, 1913	Our Weekly Budget from St. John's (Part 15)	The enquiry into the burning of the mail car is still progressing, but whether the losers will get any recompense remains to be proved. There is hardly a town or settlement but has a resident who had some small parcel, which perhaps not of very great value, meant a lot to them.
February. 1, 1913	Our Weekly Budget from St. John's (Part 16)	The last of the R. N. Co's bay boats arrived Saturday afternoon from the West Coast. The Home, with the others, will be put in order, painted and renovated for the next season's work.
February. 1, 1913	Every Story Has Two Sides	Mr. Hodge Replies to Capt. Ned White. (Editor Twillingate Sun) Dear Sir, Will you kindly afford me sufficient space in your esteemed paper to reply to Captain Edward WHITE's misleading letter of last week's issue. Captain WHITE gives the public the impression that I was the purchaser of both qualities fish, namely his at $4.00 and the other lot at $5.00, which is incorrect. I had bought Captain WHITE's fish some two weeks or more before S. S. Erik arrived, and settled up with him at $4.00 and at the time he refers to, I was shipping all my Labrador Fish (then ready) on S. S. Erik to Halifax, and others were selling direct to Messrs. Job Brothers & Company's Agent, who was buying different lots according to quality, and manner in which the fish was dried. The fish Captain WHITE refers to at $5.00, and compares with his own, ex Energy, was more lightly salted and dried harder than his fish was, therefore it is unfair and misleading to try and make the public believe that both lots were equal in value. Had Captain WHITE lightly salted the Energy's fish, and instructed makers to dry it up to full extent, I have no doubt it would have fetched anywhere from $5.00 to $9.00, but as he salted for ordinary bulk Labrador, he should not expect a dry price for soft fish. Reckoning the difference in weight of these two qualities fish, I do not see any difference re net results. Hoping this explanation of the actual facts will be sufficient to show both sides of the story, and thanking you Mr. Editor, for space kindly given, I remain, Yours very truly, J. W. HODGE, per A. H. HODGE
February. 1, 1913	House Moved	That house which was formerly the dwelling owned by Chas. MURSELL and which has been standing for some time in Mrs. Thos. YOUNG's field was hauled to the South Side on Thursday.
February. 1, 1913	Robin Contract Awarded	We understand that the contract for repair of the schr Robin, which went ashore on Copper Rock this fall and was damaged, has been awarded to Capt. Andrew ROBERTS. It is currently reported that the tender was for $400.
February. 1, 1913	New Motor Boat	Mr. Wm. STUCKLESS is having a large motor boat built by Mr. Az. SMALL, of Tizzard's Hr. The boat will be 55 feet long by 9 feet beam.
February. 1, 1913	Prospero Has Problems	It was reported there was something the matter with the Prospero, after she left here about 2 p.m. Wednesday, as she was apparently drifting at the mercy of the wind off the Rags til nearly dark. She also went to Herring Neck and stayed there that night which adds color to the rumor. Made Herring Neck Under Sail. We report elsewhere the breakdown to the Prospero leaving here. Since then we have been able to ascertain that while off this harbor, her steering gear broke down and she made Herring Neck just at dark, under her head sails, with engine running dead slow. She crept in there at about 2 miles an hour, but effected repairs sufficient to be able to proceed next morning. The trouble was caused by steam pipes becoming frozen up, so it is said. Steamer Prospero arrived at St. John's Thursday night, having damaged rudder in ice. Altho' this is late for the Prospero to get here, it will be remembered that three years ago she was at the Coastal Wharf going South on the 8th of February, a beautifully mild day. S. S. Prospero which arrived at Seldom on Friday, reached here Monday night at tea time. Some men who attempted to get to her fell thro' the ice. Tuesday the Harbor was quite an inspiring sight with horses and dogs and carts going and coming from the Prospero which was stuck in the edge of the ice off Paradise.
February. 1, 1913	Left to Die in Zero Weather	Albert Young Left on Rocks Near Knight Island. A Story is going the rounds, as far as we can glean, the facts are that four men were coming from Lewisport Tuesday and took the outside track. When near Knight Island, Albert YOUNG, son of Mr. Levi YOUNG, gave out. The other three left YOUNG on the rocks wrapped in a couple of blankets, and came on to Farmer's Arm. They met a cart going up and told about YOUNG's predicament. After reaching Farmer's Arm some men went off to look for YOUNG, while the cart they had met informed Mr. ROSE of Comfort Cove. He was sick in bed but got out in search. YOUNG was not discovered till Wednesday, and when we take into consideration the bitter weather Tuesday night, is is a wonder he ever survived. ROSE took YOUNG to this own place and then came down here to inform his father. The peculiar part is that men should leave another to perish like this, and especially that they should walk right past Comfort Cove, with an exhausted comrade left behind in such weather.
February. 1, 1913	Business Shut Down	We are informed that the store of the Union Trading Co. at Fogo has been closed.
February. 1, 1913	Notre Dame Mutual Club Losses	The losses in the N. D. Mutual Club this year will be approximately 3 per cent. The total losses were Alexandra on Labrador, Nina Pearl at Pilley's Isld., Cuckoo at Groais Islands, and Gertie Moors at Gander Bay. The partial losses were Robin which went ashore on Copper Rock in this harbor, and Cornwall damaged at Lark Hr.
February. 1, 1913	New Motor Boats	Mr. EARLE is having a new motor boat built at Tizzard's Hr., and also a new lighter. The lighter will be 40 feet keel by 13 1/2 feet beam. Mr. Geo. SMALL has the contract for the boat and Mr. Luke BOYDE for the lighter.
February. 1, 1913	Anniversary	Magistrate and Mrs. SCOTT are today celebrating the 30th anniversary of their wedding. Congratulations!
February. 1, 1913	Good Work by Mailmen	Much credit due the Mailmen for their efforts with the mail last week. By travelling all night they reached here at brakfast time - half a day ahead.
February. 1, 1913	Horse Ran Off	Dick POND ran away on Thursday morning and gave his owner and the Postmaster quite a chase before he was captured. Evidently the political situation got on Dick's nerves.
February. 1, 1913	Cambellton Notes	At Campbellton we learn that lumbering and pulp cutting operation are in swing, and splendid weather is being experienced. Three Company camps are in operation, besides several hand loggers, while on the South Side several men are engaged in cutting pulpwood. Our old friend, Adj. HISCOCK, visits the camps occasionally. Miss PIPPY of Twillingate South Side is S.A. teacher there.
February. 1, 1913	Licks Iron in Zero Weather	Arthur MERENS, 12 years old of Montreal, had his tongue torn out recently. He tried licking an iron bar in their yard, with the thermometer below zero. As a result his tongue stuck fast. He had been there half an hour when neighbors saw him. His mother brought hot water to loosen his tongue, and when it was poured he jumped back tearing his tongue to ribbons.
February. 1, 1913	Seals Sighted	Mr. PRESTON of the lighthouse reports seeing quite a number of seals in the bay on Saturday. They could be seen with the glass popping up everywhere.
February. 1, 1913	Frightful	A young Boston woman extremely athletic, rides very well, and seated astride her horse, she resembled a beautiful boy. Riding one day in her masculine habit, she had the misfortune to be thrown. An old sea Captain hastened to her aid. Raising her gently, he touched a corset, and shouted in wild alarm to a bystander: "Get a doctor, quick! Here's a young chap's ribs runnin' North and South instead of East and West."
February. 1, 1913	Advertisement	For Sale: One good Carriage Harness, with winter fittings. H. J. HOWLETT.
February. 1, 1913	By Telegraph	Storm on Topsails today temporarily suspends railway service. Railway trains temporarily delayed by yesterday's snow storm are running on time again today. Coastal steamers are also on schedule. Steamer Kite sails next Wednesday for Groais Islands from where she prosecutes seal fishery in March. Two fires in St. John's last night with cold at zero did much damage. Eight parties involved in disturbance at Coakerite meeting at Bay Roberts last week are being prosecuted at Harbor Grace.
February. 1, 1913	Public Notice	Under the provisions of Chapter 23, 2 Edward VII, entitled, 'an Act to amend the Post Office Act, 1891' and upon the recommendation of the Board appointed under Section 1 thereof, Notice is hereby given that three months after this date, a Proclamation will issue for the alteration of name, or renaming of places as under, that is to say: 1.

February. 1, 1913	Correction Re Mr. HARBIN	We are asked to say that the statement published by us last week that Mr. HARBIN was appointed by A. S. RENDELL and Co. to look after Sidney Smith wreck is incorrect. Mr. HARBIN bears his appointment from the Portmadoc Insurance Company.
February. 1, 1913	Saint Patrick's Day	Owing to St. Patrick's day coming in the same week with Good Friday, the usual general holiday in St. John's will not take place.

February 8, 1913	Personals	Mr. S. FACEY and Capt. Frank ROBERTS went to Chappel�s Island trouting on Tuesday. Mr. Wm. G. BULGIN of the Arm, has been suffering severely from erysipelas, his face being very much swollen. Mr. George BANKS of Fogo, drove up Messrs. Stanley LAYMAN, Clerk in J.W. Hodge�s shop, and Lemuel ANTHONY, Blacksmith from Fogo on Thursday, to finish their degrees in the Royal Black Preceptory. They experienced a hard time coming up as they found the ice broken up, and were compelled to go back to Farewell Hr. and cross the neck there. Will anyone going to Lewisporte, and willing to bring a 30 lb parcel, please communicate with the Sun Office. Mr. Robt. BOYDE, jr., at Tizzard�s Hr., has moved into a new shop recently. Mr. Titus LOCKE is building Earle�s lighter, not Mr. BOYDE, as we stated last week. Mr. Jos. KNIGHT is building a large motorboat at Morton�s Hr., about forty feet long, with raised forecastle forward. He will use the boat chiefly for trawling and codnet fishing. Messrs. Louis and J.B. OSMOND and Ed WOOLFREY left for Loon Bay, Campbellton, and Lewisport, Thursday morning. The thermometer recorded 14 below zero on Friday morning. The Prospero reported it 20 below when she was here. It must have been the nip her rudder got made her feel the cold so.
February 8, 1913	Rabbit Hunter�s Burnt Out	Lost Rabbits, Clothes and Grub. Return Home in Stockinged Feet. Messrs. LOVERIDGE (3), H. BARRETT and C. FACEY, who went rabbit hunting on the shore between Loon Bay and Birchy Bay at Ship Cove, had the camp they were staying in, burnt over their heads on Saturday morning last, losing 2/3 of their rabbits, most of their clothes, boots and grub. They had an open fireplace in the camp and some of them were keeping the fire in, when just before daylight, the camp took fire on the roof outside. They rushed out to attempt to put it out, buy were unable to check the spread of flames, and could not re-enter the camp. Messrs. FACEY and BARRETT lost their boots and overcoats, while the latter had a spare �Sunday-go-to-meeting� suit of clothes burnt, as well as his shaving gear, looking glass, tooth powder, etc. Fortunately their guns were outside and they had dogs, so the bootless ones were enabled to ride home, reaching here wet through, about 9 p.m. Saturday. Some 20 rabbits were rescued from the flames, and these were brought home. Of food, only part of a sweet loaf was saved, and this had to provide sufficient for 5 persons �till a dwelling was reached. The camp in which they were staying was a studded tilt, which was roofed with boughs, which had become blasted, and the fire spread so rapidly that there was little time for anything. After the fire, the unfortunates made their way to Comfort Cove, hatless, bootless and cuffless, and a pretty pickle they presented. Mr. EVELEIGH kindly assisted them to procure boots, caps, and mitts, and fitted them out to get home. The young men can all now rise and sing the last verse of �We won�t go there anymore.�
February 8, 1913	Had a Bad Fall	We learn that Mrs. Thomas ASHBOURNE fell down stairs in Dr. LEDREW�S house at Christmas time, and has been confined to her bed ever since. Her arm, shoulder and hip were terribly bruised by the fall, as she fell from nearly the top step to the bottom. She is unable to account for the fall, but supposes she tripped on the carpet.
February 8, 1913	Story Incorrect	We have been informed that the story which we published about Rev. MCKIRDY last week is incorrect, and that he is still at Springdale enjoying good health.
February 8, 1913	Death	The death of Joel WHEELOR of South Side, occurred on Sunday morning 2nd inst., at the age of 82 years. The late Mr. WHEELOR has been ill for some time from a heavy cold. He was a brother of Mr. Mark WHEELOR of the Arm, and Mr. Elias WHEELOR, South Side. Mr. WHEELOR acted as Engineer with Duder�s years ago, when they used to grind the seal fat there. On one occasion he was caught in a pulley and whirled around many times, his feet striking the roof at every revolution. Fortunately he escaped without broken bones. His family consists of 14 children of whom Jonathan, Arthur, David and Peter; Mrs. Wm. OAKE, Mrs. Wm. HOUSE, Isabella married in Toronto, and Jane married at King�s Cove, are the only survivors. His wife still survives him.
February 8, 1913	Kicked by Horse	Mr. Joe WHEELOR of Farmer�s Arm was kicked by a young horse, which he was breaking in last week. The horse struck him in the face with its shoe, inflicting a flesh wound which necessitated several stitches. A report was current that Mr. WHEELOR was dead, but we are able to deny this, and state that he is getting along all right.
February 8, 1913	Mr. COOK Leaves Advocate	We learn that Mr. M.W. COOK, formerly Foreman in the Fishermen�s Advocate office, has severed his connection with that plant and goes with Mr. Wm. DOOLEY on the new paper the latter is starting at Belle Island.
February 8, 1913	Marriage	Purser DOYLE of the �Clyde� was married last week to a Miss FINN of Carbonear.
February 8, 1913	Dangerous Roads	We beg to call the attention of the Road Board to the dangerous condition of the road between Scott�s late premises and Hodge�s. Dick Pond�s load went over the bank Thursday, and Dick came near following suit. A little work with a pick would soon improve matters.
February 8, 1913	Man Killed At Badger	We are sorry to learn of the sudden death of Tom ROWSELL, son of Mr. John ROWSELL of Glenwood, who was killed by a blow from a log at Badger, owing to the sled catching in a stump and partly upsetting the load. Tom was a bright, lively fellow, and was very popular with everyone. He was about 22 years old. The sun extends to the bereaved parents its sincere sympathy.
February 8, 1913	Our Weekly Budget From St. John�s (Part 1)	Two fires occurred on Monday night, about the same time and which rendered 7 families homeless. One took place on Harvey Road and the other on Gower St., East of LAWRENCE'S Carriage Factory. While the firemen were battling with the flames at the first outbreak, The alarm was sent in from Gower St. The night was bitterly cold and the Brigades must have suffered terribly. Fortunately there was but little wind which no doubt saved the city from a disastrous conflagration.

A little bit of smuggling must be carried on somewhere between the mainland and St.Pierre Island.

February 8, 1913	Our Weekly Budget From St. John�s (Part 12)	The St. John�s Meat Co. have opened a meat store in the West end, and the enterprising proprietors, Messrs. CAMPBELL and MACKEY, deserve success in venturing out on such a speculation. The staff of Butchers are from England, and the meat imported from Argentina, Australia, and Chicago. If the number of persons who visit their stores are indicative of a prosperous business, then their venture must be a success.
February 8, 1913	Our Weekly Budget From St. John�s (Part 13)	Three cases of small pox were recently discovered at Bell Island, and it is thought the family contracted the disease from a person who visited the island some time previous from Broad Cove, where there are over 20 cases under quarantine. The Health authorities fear that other cases may shortly develop, and have taken all necessary precautions to prevent the disease spreading.

February 8, 1913	Our Weekly Budget From St. John�s (Part 15)	A sad case of double drowning occurred on Saturday afternoon, when 2 young men lost their lives. It appears that Joseph MOYST and his nephew, Fred JANES, with Sam BARTLETT, went out the narrows gunning in a small boat. Near the North Battery, the punt became jammed in the slob ice, and the three men not being able to free her, drew the attention of men at Hynes� premises, by firing several shots. The tug was immediately dispatched, and taking the punt in tow, steamed quickly out of the slob and up the harbor. After a few yards from the ice, the boat commenced to fill with water, and when near Stabb�s wharf, sank, stern first, carrying JANES and BARTLETT with her. MOYST saved himself by holding on to the towing rope.

Mr. MINTY takes with him an experience in business, and the good will of the Arm folks, as he has been prominent in things social there, and is the Chief Officer of the Arm Boys Brigade. The Sun wishes Mr. MINTY good luck.
February 8, 1913	The Trap Berth	We learn that trap berths at Long Point were taken last week. Surely this is going too far with this trap berth business, and it is time the fishermen � especially those who have traps � held a meeting and arranged some regulations. Two or three schemes have been suggested. One is to grant trap berths something similar to the way land is granted, the fees to be placed toward fishery improvements. Another scheme suggested was that all trap holders should draw lots for berths. A third scheme would be that all trap holders should put prime berths to auction, and the price of the berths be divided evenly among those who secured none, or placed to the credit of a general accident insurance or similar fund. Such a fund could form an insurance scheme to that trap owners could insure their traps against loss or damage. Certainly some such scheme could be found workable, and it is to be hoped the fishermen here will take up the matter.
February 8, 1913	Leo ELLIOTT's Letter	Dear Sir: I have a few words to say about Brother Albert YOUNG, and four more of us travelling from Lewisporte. I have to say, the piece in the Sun last week was lies. Instead of Tuesday, it was Wednesday evening that we put him on the island. What could we do? If we stayed with him we would have all perished. Instead of two blankets, it was four he had on him. I want to tell the man that put it in last week, he must have had a dream! He said how ROSE took him to his own house. He was however, taken to Mr. CULL's. ROSE came down and said he was very sick. Albert YOUNG was well enough to eat when they got to him though. I want to explain this to people, that we did all we could for Brother YOUNG. When he gave out, we covered him up on the island. We were keeping to the windward shore, when we saw two men skating to Comfort Cove. We called to them and they heard us, turned and came toward us. We told them where Albert YOUNG was, and they told us to go on to Farmer's Arm, and they would go to the island and get him. One of the men gave me four buns and that helped me quite a lot. We got to Farmer's Arm, and told a man to go to Comfort Cove after YOUNG, and he went. When he got there, the men were looking for him. They did not get him that night, but found him next morning. When I reached Comfort Cove next morning, they had him at CULL's, and he came back to Farmer's Arm with me that evening, and stayed there that night. Next morning we left and got here at 1 o'clock. Leo ELLIOTT.

February 15, 1913	Telegraphic News	Feb. 8th � Evening Telegram announces today that Sir Robert BOND goes to England by Allan liner �Sardinian�, leaving here Monday, but expects to be back before Assembly session closes. Herald says it learns his business in England is to consult a specialist as to condition of his health.
February 15, 1913	Why They Got No Trout	Three gentlemen, two of them Clerks in a store on the South Side, met a peculiar accident last week. They had been trouting at Chapel�s Island on Thursday, and were returning home heavily laden with spoils of the chase, when near Trump Island, their horse upset the load � men, trout and all � and galloped off for home as fast as he could go, leaving our heroes deposited on the ice, able to do nothing but gaze regretfully after the fast disappearing horse. They gathered themselves together, but were compelled to leave their trout (they say they had more than one) and sadly wended their way towards Gillard�s Cove on foot. What was their surprise to meet their intelligent horse returning to look for them, when they neared the South Island. It is said by unkind persons, that the horse was so ashamed of the catch of trout, that he took this means of relieving them of the embarrassment of having to explain why they didn�t get more. They are now busy explaining how they didn�t get the trout home.
February 15, 1913	Letter Two Months from Pilley�s Island	We have been handed an envelope, the cover of a letter, which was mailed at Pilley�s Isld. on Dec 9th, 1912, and reached its owner here on Feb. 6th, 1913, practically two months on the way. The letter was registered and contained a sum of money, and this makes the delay so much stranger. Every registered letter is entered on a letter bill when it leaves a Post Office, and if each Clerk or Postmaster through whose hands it passes, checks the letters of packages on his bill, there cannot possibly be any mistake. Altho there is room for improvement in many branches of Postal work, in this case it is not the fault of the system, but due to the carelessness of some Official, to whom it could be directly traced, if the Postmaster General were communicated with.
February 15, 1913	Promotion for Nurse ROLLS	Miss K. ROLLS, or rather Nurse ROLLS, as we suppose her proper title is, sister of Mrs. L. EARLE, of this town, is now back in Pasadena from Chicago, where she has been taking a post-graduate course in nursing. She shortly goes to Los Angeles, California, where she will take up a position as Superintendent in a new children�s hospital there. We offer congratulations on Nurse ROLLS� success.
February 15, 1913	Trap Berths (Part 1)	Referring to the trap berth question which we raised last week: - it has been argued that to give a grant of a trap berth would not be fair, as it would put one man in possession of the prime fish spot year after year. On the face of it this seems reasonable, but if you study it you will see there is nothing more unreasonable about granting a man�s trap berth, than in granting him a gold claim or an agricultural grant. No one kicks because a man who discovers a gold vein gets a grant for it, and gets rich from it. His energy, perseverance and investigation discovered the claim for him, and he is entitled to the result of his labors. Similarly, if by experimenting, a man discovers a good trap berth, why should he not be entitled to a grant, or at least a lease for a term of years, in return for his energy. We do not know anything about the trap berths over which there seems so much talk at present, but we presume they were discovered by someone after experimenting with different places, and the discoverer, to our mind, is the person who is best entitled to hold it.
February 15, 1913	Trap Berths (Part 2)	We see no reason why there should be any change in order to permit someone else to get some fish therefrom. You might as well argue that because Mr. Jones has a splendid garden, that can grow double as much as his neighbor Smith�s piece, that Jones should allow Smith to use his garden occasionally, and that it is unfair for Jones to be always getting good crops. Personally, if we were a fisherman, we should agitate to have some definite regulation for all. Rules are the back-bone of civilization, and while things are left to simply first come first served, there will always be rows and disputes over them. A trap berth does not yield the same results every year, so we fail to see why they should be worth squabbling over. If John Jones puts out his lines in January to hold a trap berth, he may find it valueless in June and July, and have all his trouble during the winter for nothing. Anyhow, we do not believe anything but a trap (and a genuine trap that would take fish at that) should hold a trap berth; and the man whom greediness, or jealousy of his neighbors good luck, causes to put out a codnet or piece of linnet to hold a trap berth, should be disqualified. If a man likes to risk his trap all winter, well, he is entitled to get fish for his trouble, but a piece of linnet should not be allowed to do the trick.
February 15, 1913	Nearly Poisoned	Mrs. Wm. NEWMAN came near being poisoned this week. She was suffering from la grippe, and asked her mother to hand her some medicine on the shelf. This Mrs. BAIRD did, and mixed a dose which her daughter drank. Then she discovered that she had taken a lotion which her father was using for external application � a deadly poison. They awoke Mr. Harold BAIRD to go for the Doctor, but he with much presence of mind, immediately mixed a mustard emetic, and gave Mrs. NEWMAN, which caused her to vomit the poison, and relieved her immediately. We learn that the drug taken was not dangerous, but the scare was great.
February 15, 1913	Stranded on Duck Island.	Messrs. Ed. YOUNG and Titus STUCKEY, who were called to Campbellton Sunday morning on account of the sickness of the former�s brother there, made a quick trip going and returning the same day. Unfortunately they were caught in the blizzard Sunday night, and landed on Duck Island, off Kettle Cove, where they were compelled to spend the night. They must have experienced very cold weather.

JANES and his crew arrived this week and will return again Monday to Indian Cove, where they are wood cutting out towards Chapel�s Head. Practically everyone in the place has been attacked with �la grippe� this winter, and the Medical men have had a busy time. We understand that Mr. Peter GRIMES of Herring Neck will sever his connection with Mr. LOCKYER there, and join Mr. Wm. ASHBOURNE�S staff here. Mr. Wm. NEWMAN, who is on his way from Toronto here, has been heard from at Sydney, from whence we understand, he wired saying he had $1000 stolen from him and was cleaned out. Mr. John SHEPHERD lost a fine horse owing to the animal dying on Sunday last. Mr. W.T. HODDER arrived from USA via Lewisporte on Sunday, after a very round-about trip. Rev.

February 15, 1913	Our Weekly Budget From St. John�s (Part 1)	The ice is so treacherous this winter that persons crossing, should exercise extreme caution! On Saturday, four men attempted to cross Kent�s Pond and narrowly escaped drowning. They were over 15 minutes in the water before help arrived, and the rescuers had some difficulty in getting the men ashore, who were very much exhausted.
February 15, 1913	Our Weekly Budget From St. John�s (Part 2)	An old defective chimney in the West End of the City, took fire on Monday, and but one or two of the Firemen took a ladder, and had buckets of water passed up, no doubt a big fire would very soon have been in progress. It is high time for the safety of the town, that these old rookeries were razed to the ground.
February 15, 1913	Our Weekly Budget From St. John�s (Part 3)	In all conscious, it is bad enough to see a drunken man about the streets, but one has to witness such a scene as that which took place early on Monday morning! We are forced to exclaim with the historian of old, �Where are we and whither tending!� Just before daylight on the morning in question, the Constables on their beat on George St., came across a young woman in a beastly state of intoxication, and they had extreme difficulty in bringing her to the station. One would scarcely think that in this enlightened age, anyone could be found to treat a poor weak woman in such a way.

The Court may be kept busy this spring, and many of the best fishermen think some law must be made, to put an end to such unseemly actions, and fix a date before which no fishing gear shall go in the water. A case will be heard in Court on Monday next at 11 a.m.

April 5, 1913	Death	We regret to record the death of Mrs. Henry RIDEOUT of Back Hr. which occurred at her home on Sunday morning at the age of 69 years. The deceased had been confined to home for a long while, and lately sustained an attack which hastened the end, which was not altogether unexpected. She lived a good Christian life and commanded the respect of those around her. She leaves a sorrowing husband and five children to mourn their loss. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved in their trouble.

April 5, 1913	Our Weekly Budget From St. John�s (Part 5)	On Wednesday, shortly after noon, an awful accident occurred at the floating dock. It appears Mr. MURPHY, the Supt. Engineer, was docking a schooner, and an unusual thing for him, he wore his overcoat, which it was thought was the direct cause of his death. It is believed that in stooping down to look into the cock well, his coat became caught in one of the cog wheels. He yelled to his assistant to shut off steam and stop the machinery, which although done instantly, was too late to save the poor fellow's life. He leaves a widow and four children.
April 5, 1913	Our Weekly Budget From St. John�s (Part 6)	Mrs. BELL, of the Crosbie Hotel, received the sad news from Winsor, N.S., of the passing of her young son, Willie.

The day was beautifully fine and hundreds wended their way to Signal Hill and other points of vantage, to watch the Commodore majestically steaming through the narrows. Although the reports are favorable, the ventures have not done well, but on the whole, an average voyage is anticipated. The seal skinners recently made a demand for an increase of the skinning rates, and after a conference with Messrs. Job and Munn, a compromise was effected, which satisfied both parties.

April 19, 1913	Complaint of Rowdiness	A great deal of rowdiness prevails in some of our streets after dark, and there is need of the Policemen taking an occasional stroll around. Some of these young hooligans take a delight in creating disturbance, assaulting passers by, and injuring property. Fines are foolishness, and in some cases a public application of the birch would be effectual. Fun is all right, but some of these youth have yet to learn that to injure a persons property is not fun. If some of the Officials were as busy suppressing this, as in sending egoistical reports of Court proceedings to the press, it would be much better for the community. What Twillingate wants is not people who advertise their virtues, but those who will get down and do something � not talk.
April 19, 1913	The Telephone Co.	The poles for the telephone line have been cut; the contract having been give to Mr. EVELEIGH, at New Hr, he being the lowest tenderer, and as soon as arrangements completed with the Government as to permission &c., the matter will again be taken up and finalized. While at Channel we inspected the system there; a similar one to what is proposed here, and found it worked well and gave good satisfaction.
April 19, 1913	Astray All Night	Two young men, ANSTEY of Back Hr. sons of Messrs John and Robert ANSTEY respectively, had quite an experience Friday night. They had gone out in punt to look for seals when the ice packed in between them and the shore. When they did not arrive before dark, their parents went to look for them, and fired guns to guide them. Fortunately they got a lead of water off the Shag Rocks, and reached home at 2 a.m. Saturday, nothing the worse.
April 19, 1913	Mr. ASHBOURNE for Bermuda	Mr. Wm. ASHBOURNE, who was in the hospital at Sydney, is somewhat better in Health. He has been advised by the Doctors to recuperate in Bermuda, and has gone there, where he will likely spend a month before returning to this Country.
April 19, 1913	The South Island Coal	We learn that work on the coal indications on the White Hills, South Island, will be undertaken by Mr. Wm. ASHBOURNE, who holds the mineral grant for practically all South Island, as soon as the frost is gone. Quite a lot of lumps of coal have been found by different parties from all around that district, and hopes are high that a regular seam will be discovered. Lumps of from two to ten pounds have been brought out, and the assay gives the coal as a very superior quality of steam coal, rich in hydrocarbons. We are almost afraid to be too optimistic, but sincerely hope for Twillingate�s sake that a considerable seam may be located.
April 19, 1913	Schooners Preparing	Capt. Frank ROBERTS and crew, and Capt. Robert YOUNG and crew, left via Lewisport for St. John�s this week, to fit out their schooners there.
April 19, 1913	Free Fish To States	In accordance with President WILSON�S message, the United States Govt. has revised the tariff, and placed fish on the free list. This makes the entry of Newfoundland fish possible, now the duty has been removed. This will clear the way for a lot of Canadian fish, and Newfoundland is bound to profit thereby. There is also an opportunity for the revival of the herring industry which has latterly fallen so. It seems passing strange to the layman, that with such opportunities as we have, tons of our herring are not smoked and exported. Some day some outside company will come in and put them up, and we shall kick ourselves because we neglected golden opportunities.
April 19, 1913	Promoted To The Quarter Deck	We learn that Mr. Ned ROBERTS, son of Capt. Andrew ROBERTS, is now promoted to the quarter deck, and takes charge of Horwood�s three master. He left this week for St. John�s to join her. We offer him our best wishes.

The �Lloydsen�, the last of the sealing fleet, arrived at Harbor Grace of Tuesday moring with equal to 13,000 young seals. It will be remembered that this steamer �.. her stern post and rudder �. forcing out of Channel, and was compelled to return to St. John�s for repairs, which delayed her nearly 3 weeks before she was ready for the hunt. All praise to the pluck and perseverance of Capt. Alphaeus BARBOUR and his crew, for they are worthy of it. Capt. KEAN of the �Erik� reports the past spring the most anxious he ever spent. After all the young seals were cut up, 48 of the crew refused to work or to hunt for the old and armed themselves with spikes threatening mischief, the Capt. decided to land the mutineers which he did at Bonavista.

Judgement in the Trap Berth dispute between Jas. ADEY and John SHEPPARD, was given in favour of ADEY. As we foretold, this greedy rushing for trap berths is having its sequel in disputes and cases in Court.

HODGE vs Captain Ed WHITE for alleged sale of second hand salt, without accounting for the proceeds of the sale, was also heard, but was postponed until further evidence could be procured.

April 19, 1913	Sun Visits Coal Discovery	The Sun visited the White Hills where the coal has been discovered, in company with Messrs. S. LOVERIDGE and H. COLBOURNE. The spot where the lumps of coal have been found is a small valley which lies near the top of the range of hills between Gillard�s Cove and Little Hr. The coal is found in small lumps lying among the turf and the bog, as tho washed there many years ago. Some small pieces of slate were also found, but we were unable to find any similar formation near. While it is too early to say much, we fear we are not very optimistic. We understand Professor HOWLEY has stated that the formation is against the probability of coal being there, but until some definite exploration work has been done, it is impossible to say much. We hope, however, that some good may come of it.
