The railroad engineering corps reach
ed Tionesta last Saturday with their line
and have completed the preliminary
work here, moving on down the river.
They will go as far as President before
moving their headquarters, keeping on
the east side of the river. While "mum's
the word' with them, and no one has
learned from any information gained
from them in whose employ they are, it
is very generally agreed among those on
the outside that the survey is being made
in the interest of the Erie Railway, and
that, sooner or later, that company will
be running cars over the route.
The fish and game committee of the
legislature is considering the bill to i'm
pose gunners license of Sl.25 upon
resident hunters in the state. Amend
ments are being prepared to allow per-
sons to hunt upon their own lands with
out license, and covering one or two
minor points, and it will then be reported
favorably from the committee. 1t is pos
sible that such a law may prove popular
move, but we doubt the wisdom of tax
ing a farmer. or his son, who may chase
a rabbit or squirrel over onto his neigh
boris place, dollar and quarter for fol-
lowing up the game and bagging it, We
don't believe the country people would
relish that sort of legislation to any great
extent. The act will provide fine and
Imprisonment for all who fail to take
out license, and that feature might get
whole lot of people into Jail.
