CONFERENCE DATE CHANGED.
Big Gathering Of Meihodists Postponed 10
March 20

The date of the next meeting OF
the Central Pennsylvania confer
ence of Methodist Episcopal church
which will convene i'll Harrisburg
has been postponed from March 70
to March 20. The conference will
be held i'll the Fifth Street Method
ist Episcopal Church. The presid-
ing elders of the conference have
just received word to this effect
from Bishop c. G. McCabe.
Pay day in the mining and lum-
Der regions of the conference,
which has two districts in these
regions, interfe"es with holding the
meeting on the original date, and
this is the reason OF the change.
1t happens that the men in these
districts are paid off from March 10
to IS, and this last date being but
day prior to the convening of CON
ference it was thought wise to
change the date, owing to import
ant collections from these districts.
BY the change the eXchequer of
the conference will be increased by
several thousand dollars.

Roads Ordered to Consume a year.
State Highway Department Has Been Asked
10 Build Fifty miles OF Read.

That the people of the State are
interested in and desire to have
good roads in their re; pective dis
tricts is evidenced by the rapidity
with which they have taken advan-
tage of the good road act passed by
the last Legislature and applied to
the newly-created highway depart
ment for aid in the rebuilding of
roads. The department thus far
has received applications to COM
ply with which it will be kept busy
for a year. The number of appli.
cations on file is 20 and they ask
for the erection of so miles ofroad.
1t will keep Highway Commis-
sioner Hunter, Assistant Commits.
sioner Statler and the other attaches
of the department hustling to have
the roads completed by next win
ter. The first duty of the Commis.
sioner after an application has been
filed is to inspect the road which is
to be improved in order to ascertain
the best method of procedure and
estimate the cost of the work.
Next plans and specifications of the
proposed road are drawn and bids
received for its construction. These
duties together with the superin-
tending of the work of building the
roads, will consume at least a year
of the time of the department,
The work is now being rushed
as rapidly as possible. Commis-
sioner Hunter and Assistant Statler
have been inspecting the roads in
counties which sent in the first ap-
pication and work on the plans is
now in progress. 1t is the inten.
tion of the department ito do as
much of the inside work as possible
during the winter so that every
thing will be in readiness for actual
work upon the roads soon as the
weather will permit, next spring.

tween pheasants and blue rocks.
