Bad Country Roads.

Editor of The Tribune.
Dear Sir: So we cyclers are to pay toll
on the turnpike road between Providence
and Clark's summit How long are these
relies of barbarism'' to last anyway?
A toll road between Scranton and the
towns on the other side of the mountain
through the only pass in which a good
road is possible should make us blush.
One can see some reason for charging
even cyclers on the excellent pleasure
roads built on the mountains, but when
there is but one place to build road IN
order to reach a certain town that road
should be free to everyone. 1t should De
kept in condition after the very bad sys-
TEN now IN vogue until better plan is
adopted by the state.
The Justice of placing tax of cents
on a whcclman who is compelled to BUMP,
bump, ZiZ-Zag and gee-haw over the dy-
orage toll road has always been a CUES
tion and always will be as long as there
are toll roads The country cyclers who
complain about this new imposition
should blame themselves for good por-
ton of their troubles. They will tolCr-
ate miserable toll road because their
fathers and grandfathers before them
did. For the same reason they will use
wagons with tires from three-fourthS Of
an inch to two inches wide, thus cutting
up the road, chopping and grinding the
surface to powder and digging down deep
to pull out every cObble within foot Of
the top.
These same farmers and their sons who
go over the same pieces of road summer
after summer digging the sands, sods and
rocks out of the cutters and depositing
them in the most promiscuous manner
on the otherwise fairly smooth highway,
consider they have made the road" |
have passed by farm houses on the
pOrches of which stood three or four 1i-
cycles. The road in front of the same
houses would be almost impossible ON
account of stores, yet not one farmer =
cycling son would move a muscle to
remedy the evil.
Why don't they use wide tires when
everyone knows they are infinitely better
than the narrow on any KIND OF road?
| Why don't they clear their own road OF
| the loose stones and smooth down the
| sOds If they are bound TO throw them in
| the way? Why don't they leave the small
| trees and shrubbery grow along the
| highway to help Ino!stcn the roadbed and
| cheer the traveller? And why don't they
make an effort through the proper legis-
! lative channel to abolish toll gates?
| hear the echo "why don't theyH' All
| these things would practically cost the
| farmer not one cent more than at present
| II Is unfair to expect fine macadam
| roads In the country at the expense of the
| farmer, but he could certainly impro Ee
| matters very much II he only departed
| from the antiquated methods of his f0th-
| srs and used some lS9S-common sense
| The only way TO prevent imposition Is ,tc
get rid of the impositor and II is high
time that all of us should stir about. In
| tho meantime, however, young cycling
| farmers, just give wide tires and the
| stones in your roads some thought

knowing the provisions of the recent

for information as to the liability of
the association for tax.
Commissioner Scott ruled that horse
racing, the ordinary speeding of horses
was not taxable, although the act de-
mands a tax of 800 on enclosures con-
tanning circuses, feats of horseman-
ship or acrobatic exhibitions. Commits

SMALL GAME PLENTY.
Luzerne County Sportsmen Anxious
for Seasons Opening.

Sportsmen in Butler valley are long
ing for the opening of the small game
season, says the HazletOn Sentinel. Ev-
cry indication now points to a remark
able plentifulness of all kinds of game.
In some parts of the district squir-
rels are so plenty that they are becom-
ing destructive to fruit trees and corn
fields, while great damage is being
done along the mountains by raccoons
pheasants and wild turkeys preying
on the new corn. The abundance OF
the berry corn has been very favorable
to game of all kinds, and even deer
seem plentier in the Mt. Yeager fast
nesses than they have in some year.

BARR IN JAIL AGAIN
He Was Arrested on a Very Serious
Charge

r. L. Barr is in the city prison once more
and is charged with having obtained mon
ey under false pretenses. A short time
ago Barr met an old soldier named Pa
poleon Vain and scraped up an acquaint-
ance. He told the old man that he was
hungry and so preyed upon his sympathies
that Vain gave him money. They met
several times, on each occasion Barr being
the gamer through the meetings. He
learned that Vain had a small sum Of
money which he wanted to invest in a Goa
and wood business. Vain intrusted S1OO tc
Barr for the purpose of starting such a
place.
A day or so later Barr returned and told
Vain that he had been robbed but had ar.
ranged with L. P. Ganther, a friend, tc
advance him the necessary money to re.
pay the old soldier. Barr gave Vain a
check for the money on the Farmers and
Merchants bank, purporting to have beer
signed by Ganther. A pass book was also
produced showing. apparently, that thi:
amount had been deposited in the same
bank. Vain got suspicious and went tc
Officer Fowler, who took no chances o.
Barr escaping, but placed him under ar.
rest on charge of having obtained money
under false pretenses. The officer visite,
the bank and learned that no such accoun
had been deposited there and the checl
had also been forged. Barr was befor,
