Hail as Large, os Hens Eggs on Lake Superior Bridge Gale Once again Alberta has demonstra- ted her superiority in the matter of weather. We have experienced noth- ing of the terrible gales from which Ontario has been sufleting during the pant week. In Chatham last Friday, another terrific electrical storm pass: ed over. Hail as large as hens eggs fell and thunder was terrifying for two hours. Lightning tore a hole in the Carnegio library tower. Three barns were burned in this vi- cinity. At-Fort William an electricul storm, accompanied by a. stronhg wind, struck the city early Friday morning. increasing in velocity un- til about 10 o'clock, when it began to abate. At 9.20 the C. P. R. foot bridge, connecting the aeper with the dock and freight sheds, wan car- ried away. The yards, which at this point are of considerable width, were filled with cars on which the wreck- ed footbridge fell. No 2 express from the went had just arrived. and was standing under the bridge, but owing to the manner in which it fell the train escaped injury, and there was no delgy. to traffic A despatch from Port Arthur on the heaviest gale frofm the cast in years is blowing to- day. The seas are washing clear over the breakwater and tossing the oats tied up at the docks. No boats are leeving this port and all on the lakes must be svekimy shelter. The wind is blowing forty miles an hour. *The big sous are caused by its direction. ie + TEPeeereteeeeterert eet + WILL PUBLISH THURS- DAY: In consideration of the fact that Friday next, Mey 14. is Arbor Day and, provincial holiday, the Plaindealer will be issued Thursday afternoon and ali advertisers desiring change will kindly hand in their FHePeTee eee eee THEH eet etyeoee the Leduc district where make aiterstions in wark weramer by anather governt ny GOOD SPORTS FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON Agricultural Association Arrange Attractive Arbor Day Sports Holiday Will Be Observed With Ath- Jetic Events and Horse Races at Exhi- bition Grounds 1t has been so long since Strath- cona had . good day of general sports that many: people shad begun to consider all hopes fora civic play day wore dreams of the distant fu- ture, but the suddenly announced resolution that the Arbor Day can- sation from work wouk be celebrat- ed with gdod programme, of sports Ginpelted such notions Tho arrangements for Friday's lat of horse racing, and athletic vents were recently iiwagurated and have been industriously carried forward At first the agitation was to cole- brate May 24, but as this wourt have conflicted with the plans of nearby towns, this proposition was abandoned and the proposal to cole brate, on Arbor Duy was brought forward.
