THE RANGE CLOSED.-The sequel to the accidental shooting of a little girl on tho shore •by a stray bullet from the Foryd Rifle Range is that^ Captain Jones, of H.

This is very gratifying, for no doubt some acceptable improvements will be made which will entirely do away with the danger. Truly, it's an ill-wind—or bullet-that does nobody any good BROKEN WINDOWS.—On Thursday morn- ing Mr Metcalfe, of Mountjoy Cafe, on open'ng tho shop, found ono of the largo nance of plat*T- gla&s in one window with a great hole in it. and a ston3 a.t the bottom of the window.

On Tuesday, a grand garden fete was held in t-iie spacious grounds of Angorfa, Old Colwyn, the proceeds being in aid of th) Church of England Wa,ifs and Strays Society. Tho weather was beautiful, and helped greatly to attract the splendid gathering whioh assembled. Tho grounds were charming, profusion of flowers and treea setting off the soene most effectively. In shady little nooks seats had been placed, all with a view to tin comfort of those pres- ent. Amongst the fashionable -^oople present wore Mary, Countess of Mar and Iveflie, Lady Constanos Erskine, and the Honble. Mrs Brodrick. THE OPENING CEREMONY. The Pvev. Ll. A. Itiohards called upon the Honble. Mrs Brodrick to open the foto. He said they tfero extrem-oiv obliged to Mrs Brodrick for having kindly consented to take the place of Mrs Haworth, Walshaw, who was unavoidably absent. Mrs Brod- rick was always engaged in good works, and they were always pieased to see her at Old Coiwyn (laughter and oheers). Mrs Brodrick, who was given a hearty reception. said she seemed to b3 there under false pretences. She could not claim the credit for tln good attendance; that was due to Mrs Haworth. She (Mrs Brodrick), had only taken the duties in the unavoid- able absence of that lady. It was a great pleasure to li3r to do anything for Old Col- wyn, as she was always accorded such a kind reception there. She would not detain them long, as the object of tin Society was well-known, and ono that would appeal strongly to all. It was a question of help- ing suffering and illtreated children and trying to protect With the ex- ception of some few people the Society would appeal to all classes, and she sincere- ly hoped they would do their utmost to ltelp it on (hear, hoar). Great credit was due to Mrs Bates and Mrs Broadbent, for the way in whioh th-ey had worked. Last year a successful moating had been held in the house, and she was glad that the present one had been rewarded with beautiful weather conditions. She had great pleasure in formally declaring the sale open, and she wished it every success (applause). Mr Wood proposed a vote of thanks to the Honble. Mrs Brodrick, for having at- tended that day to open tho sale. He en- dorsed everything that the Rev. Mr Rich- ards had said. It was to be regretted that Mrs Haworth had not able to be pres- ent, as everyone knew the interest she took in the work. In seconding t.he Vof;3 of thanks, the Rev. Mr Peck, of Norfolk, said it was a curious coincidence, and an instance of the wide organisation, that when in Norfolk a day or two ago, such a meeting was taking plaee there, whilst here, he was 250 miles miles away, he was "let in" for another, tha first day after his arrival in Colwyn (laughter). The object of the Society was to create a home feeling amongst the children. They had various homes where children were eiven an idea of home life and hotm training. He had preat pleasure in seconding the vote of thanks to Mrs Brodrick, who had come from her beautiful horri3 to help in the "home" work for waifs a.nd strays. The motion was carried enthusiastically. A TOUR OF THE GROUNDS. At one end of the grounds a miniature rifle range was in full swing, coming crack shots deriving great pleasure therefrom. Close by, under the shade of the trees, Mr Wm. Underwood's band discoursed sweet musio. On the lower lawn croquet com- petitions were indulged in.

COLWYN BAY NEW STATION. PROGRESS OF THE WORK. About 100 men are now employed upon the construction of the new Colwyn Bay Railway Station, the contractors for which are Mtssrs. J. Kawlinson and Sons, of Ga.rston, Liverpool, Mr Bell being the resi- dent engineer. The first work which had been taken in hand is th) diversion of the line communicating with the goods yard. This at pieoont ascends by a rather steep gradient from the low level goods yard to the main line, but the new road wiil bo laid upon a more gentle gradient. Sincn tho new goods yard was opened, a couplo of years ago, the shunting which had been carried on, necessitating the looorrjotives snorting with heavy loads up and down the ascending approach road in question, has Been a great annoyanoo to the residents and business pocpi? in Station-road, Pen- rhyn-road, Prinoa's Drive and the vicinit but the work will be done more comfortably for all concerned when the now lino is com- pleted in the course of a few weeks' time. Already tha foundations for a considerable portion of the station buildings and a length of the down platform wall are built. When the visiting season is at an end the widening of the bridge carrying th9 railway over the Promenade Aporoach will be taken in hand. The whole of the down island platform and the station offices, etc., will be finished before the up-sidn of the station will be touched. It will then bo possible to divert the traffio on tIt, new- down platform, leaving the existing lines and the nlatform on the seaward side free for th.) uninterrupted prosecution of the works remaining to ba done on that' side The entrance to the station will be exactly where it is now, but tho way to it will be widrr and more commodious. The stone arch bridge over which the foot and vehicular traffic to and from the station now will be pulled down in order that the station approach mav be quite level. TT nd."r the station approach the road to the goods ya.rd will be laid in a tunnel formed of very substantial walls of brickwork, covered by iron girders.

COLWYN BA Y AND THE RAILWAY. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—-The letter published in your paper last woek deserves the serious considera- tion of our Urban Council. The annoyances caused by the railway are very injurious, a.nd I am sure if our local Council would meet the Railway Company on tho question of rates for a fsw years, they would do something towards carrying out the sug- gestions made by the writer of the ietter. We have one of tho beat Promenades in the country, and one of the best pavilions, and both are spoilt by the dinning noise of the railway, and in addition to which three of our bast hotels as Iwen as apartment houses on the Prince's-road are seriously affected by the passing and repassing of the trains, emitting greasy smoke and smuts, and shrieking and whistling and blowing off steam day and night. I do not understand tho references in the letter about the contemplated Bohemo by the District Council in logard to the pier and pavilion. There is a strange rumour about some pronosals with the ob- ject of extending the pier into deLp water to enable the Liverpool steamers to land trippers in Colwyn Bay. I hop?., however, this will never tako piace. The steamboat trippers have almost spoilt Llandudno, and if they oome here, particularlv on Sun- days, thny will very soon spoil the quietude and repose of Colwyn Bay. The recent correspondence in the LSandudno papers shows clearly what ia thought of the steam- boat trippsr. I do not agree with what the writer of the letter you published says about Rhos- on-Sea. being the only place in the district in which fnssh air can be Obtained. Al- though I have some property near the Col- wyn Bay Railway Station, I prefer to spend my summer holidays here at Ola Colwyn. The air is quite as f,\)8h and invigorating at Old Colwyn as ever it is at Rhos-ow-Sea, and if the Electric Tramway can bo extend- ed to Old Colwyn the visitors will be abb to divide their patronage at. reasonable cost, and judge for themselves whioh place tiny prefer. The practice of comparing one place with another is unfair; let us all havn a chance. Wo all contribute to the rates, and if the new compajiy do not ootn- stmct the tramway to Old Colwyn, tb3 Dis- trict Council should lay a small tramw&y along the Promenade, and work it with the electric machinery which lies Ldlo most of the day. The serious drawback In this district arises from the fact that the ratepayers take so little interest in the local govern- ment of the place, and its management is left to the officials. The new Council is not a whit better than the odd, and is far more damgerous—-I am, etc., Wm & LLOYD, Old Colwjau

GRUESOME DISCOVERY AT COLWYN BAY. CHILD'S BODY FOUND IN. A DUSTBIN. i On Tuesday morning, Dr. J. R. Hughes, I the coroner lor West Denbighshire, he4d an inquest at Colwyn liay, relative to the body or a male child which had been found in a dustbin, at Cartref, St. Paul's Terrace. The young woman who is alleged to bo the mother of tilt) infant is a domestic servant, named Ada Long, hailing frola Buxton, but owing to illness she was unable to be present. Councillor Hugh Hughes was appointed foreman of tin jury. Sergeant Jones Hees stated that at about noon on the previous day, from information fi-oiii L*etit.-C?oloiiA-?l T. C?ony,,rs r,ooalved 14 Spencer, V.D., Buxton. lie proceeded to Cartref, St. Paui's Terrace, and in a dust- blii in tib) backyard, lie found tho dead body of a male infant, with its head severed from the body. It was partly covered over by a newspaper, which was saturated in blood. He lumoved the body to the police station wlieio it now lay. Drs. M. Venables Williams and A Mac Lood Hoss stated that they had made a post-mortem examination at the request of the Coroner, and they had come to tho con- clusion that tho child had had a sonar ate existence. The Coroner here stated that tlie inquest would be adjourned until the mother of the child wouid bo fit to appear. The Foreman What notice will you give us before appearing at the adjourned in- quest ? The Coroner Notice to-day. AfVr .'oonsulting with the. doctors the Coroner said the inquest would be adjourn- ed until September 27th. at 11.15 a.m. This is practically all the information ob- tainable at present with refi?rence to the affair, which has created quite a sensation in the town.

It is intended (writes a correspondent) to hold tho statutory meeting of the new owners oíi the Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Light Railway on the 17th instant in Lon- don. The owning company is named the Llandudno and District Electric Con- struction Company, Limited, and tlie directors are Air S. Sellon, civil engineer, London, Mr C. H. lligg, member of the London Stock Exchange, M.r T. Stoker, Loudon, and Mr R. S. Portheim engineer, London. The secn^tary is Mr A. B. Macartney, 13, St. Helen's Place, L-ondon, E.C. The total number of shares allotted is 959 shares at £ 100 each, of which 773 arc payable wholly in cash and 180 have been allotted as i'ul'iy paid up. Of the latter 105 are in part payment of the pur- chase price of the undertaking, and thu re- maining 75 as consideration for, amongst otner things, a wayleave over certain lands. The total amount of cash received in n> spoct of tlie 779 shares issued wholly for oasih is t23,780, the ba'-anca of tho L77,900 bsing available as required. The payments oil capital account to date include £ 7,501 for preliminary expenses, including brokers' fees, £ 3,200 for land, wayleaves and case- ments, and option for the purchase of land, and E7,500 to the contractors in re- spect of the works contract. Tho totall pay- ments amount to £ 19,326. By the two con- tracts, datod respectively December 31st, 1898, and February 21st, 1905; between Lord Mostyn and the Llandudno and Col- wyn Bay Electric Traction Company, Ltd., Lord Mostyn agreed to grant an easement over his property upon oertain conditions, including (inter alia) the payment to him of £ 2,000. Lord Mostyn has agreed to modify these agreements in several respects upon terms favourable to the now comnany, inoluding the reduction of the payment mentioned to EI,500, of which £ 1,000 has been paid to him. and the balance of £ 500 is to bo satisfied in fully paid shares of the company, and an. agreement, dated August 23rd, 1906. between Lord Mostyn and the new company embodying these terms will h) submitted to the forthcoming statut-ory meeting for confirmation.

The Postal Facilities at Rhyl. SUGGESTED CLOSING OF BOOFOR STREET OFFICE. Some time ago the Postmaster General was asked by the Rhyl Council, acting 011 the suggestion of Mr J. Asher, lor a "post office to be provided for the Wellington- road district. The request was certainly a very reasonable one, seeing that the dis- trict is yearly growing in importance. Mr J. Asher, with the Town Clerk, put the application in proper order, and suggested that if necessary tho Department would be guaranteed against loss under the Post Office Guarantee Act. A reply was re- cciv^ou. fchst tiie Department could not sec their way to grant the request, but that was not sufficient for Mr J. Asher, who renewed the application in quite a different form. However, the Postmaster General has now replied that he will not be able to give Wellington-road a sub-Post Office unless the Bodfor-street Sub-Post Office is closed. If the Council will agreo to this Wellington-road can have an office at onpe. In the letter it is pointed out that Bodfor- street Office was necessary before the chief office was enlarged, but that it was not felt to be absolutely necessary now. Before deciding the matter the G.P.O. wero desirous of ascertaining whether any large section of the community would be incon- venienced by the closing of the Bodfor-street Office. This letter came before the Council at its meeting, on Monday, when Mr J. Asher urged the Council to decline to deal with the Bodfor-street Office at all. He did n not leel that it was the right thing for the Department to bring in that office while dealing with the request for an office to bo pLaced in the populous and rising district of Wellington-road. The office was satisfied that the Bodfor-street Office was necessary in 1891, and that being so they would have to take upon themselves the responsibility of closing it. He did not consider it fair that the Council should be called upon to decide it, and it was unfair, unjust and pal.try for the G.P.O. to now cdose the office after the occupier had spent so much money there. It was usual when an office was to be closed to earmark it, and when death or a resignation occurred not to con- tinue it. He suggested that the Council should leave the matter with the Town Clerk and himself to further deal with. Mr S. Perks proposed, and Mr Jos. Wil- 1 .1 'I liams seconaea, tnat the Council inform the G.P.O. that they were not prepared to ex- press an opinion as to the closing of Bodfor- street Office, and that they repeated the request for an office in Wellington-road. Mr J. H. Ellis proposed that the General Purposes Committee deal with the whole question. He was not sure that Wellington- road would be the best place. People com. plained that they wanted another office nearer the front. He pointed out that Mr Asher objected to such committee, vet suggested that he and the Town Clerk should be a sub-committee. Mr Asher replied that he certainly objected to the General Purposes Committee taking and shelving everything. He knew more about the postal requirements of Rhyl than did Mr EIIIs. Mr Whitley seconded Mr J. H. Ellis, and felt that they should go into the whole matter. Mr Jos. Jones supported Mr Asher, and added that they should object to closing Bodfor-street. Mr Clews agreed with Mr Asher, but that gentleman said he would not act if the General Purposes Committee wanted to deal with it. On a vote being taken it was decided by seven votes to six that the General Purposes Committee deal with it. Mir Asher then proposed that the General Purposes Committee be confined to dealing with the letter as to Wellington-road and Bodfor-street. He Certainly objected to the committee going gteegtachaaiiig all pver the toIlh 1

Hughes,T. H. Roberts,W. Conwy Bell, J.P., R; E. Griffith, W. Morris, Jno. Roberts, W illiam Williams, Jno. Morris, Hugh EcL- wards, and the officials. [THE WORKHOUSE. It was reported that 123 parsons were in receipt of relief in the Workhouse, a.s against 104 last year, and that 124 vagi-ants had been i-elievod, as against 210 at the corresponding period last year. The Master reported the ii-,Ceipt of parooLs of papers from Miss Harrison and Miss Finch, St. Asaph. THE RECENT CONFERENCE. A formal report as to the recent Poor Law Couloieno) was made by the Clerk, who with Miss Owen Jones, Mr Jno. Wil- liams, and Mr T. C. Jones had represented the Board. Mr Jno. Williams expressed njgret that a large number of Guardians did not at- tend the. Conference. He felt that it would be bitter for all concerned if Guardians took a greater intere.st in the Conference, as they would realise thi responsibility of their position (hear, hear). The usual vote of thanks was accorcled the members and officials who had attended the Conference. PAUPERISM. The Clerk stated that it was the in- tention of Uk) Local Government Board to supply. Boards of Guardians in future with statistics, showing tlte nun|ber of paupers relieved in the various Unions. He fel*\ that it would bo well if the Guardia* sttidi-ed those figures as the St. A Union stood very high in the list of Welsj1 Unions. If they compared St. Asaph ffitjj Ruthin and Wrexham, they would that some of their figures were very hlS*1 indeed. Looking at tlie number of adults to be relieved on account of sickncss, cident, or infirmity, lie found that Asapli had 27, as against 12 in WroxhOJI" 11 in Holywell, 8 in Llanrwst, and lJl Ruthin. The same result was evid^11 under other headings. The matter was left for the conside1" tion of the Guardians. AGAINST GROCERS' LICENCES. Mr Hugh Edwards, of Rhyl, called the Board's attention to the fact that of brandy had been purchased for m-edicin^' purposes from a grooar's. He felt it *v?j the duty of tlie Board to do all thoy caUL to discourage grocers' licences, and stam.p them out if possible.

Mr J. H. Ellis said the Council were the best people to say whether there would 1)3 any inconvenience in closing Bodfor-street Office. Mr J. Asher did not agree with that. He felt that people should deal with it ih,) understood Post Office work-that was jot the Rhyl Council. A red herring was oeing drawn over the path. Mr Whitley said they might think that the new office should be in Water-street or on the front. It was eventually decided that the General Purposes Committee deal with the letter, but on the understanding that the Council strongly objected to the closing of the Bodfor-6treet Office.
