out considerably. The party left at
700 o'clock and returned at $50.

To Our Subscribers.

: The Herald has for the last four
months been telling it's readers that
papers will not be sent subscribers
four months in arrears. If you
don't get your paper the chances are
you are in arrears.
The high cost of paper and all
other items that enter into the r.ak-
ing of a newspaper were never as
as high as at present, and the gov
ernment has ruled that no subcrip-
tions should be continued that are
four months in arrears.
If you don't get your paper, blame
the editor. He surely knows what
it is to have complaints.

Taking Coal From c. T. r. Coal Pile

For sometime parties have been
helping themselves to coal from the
pile stored by the Grand Trunk.
There seemed to be a well planned
arrangement which has worked sue
cessfully UP to short time ago,
when detectives got busy and caught
several parties with the goods. The
plan generally carried out was to
put coal in bags and get a team to
haul it away, all being done in the
night time. -
1t is not known what action the
government will take in this matter
but possibly if this plan of help
ing ones self to government proper
