THE TWO CENT
FARE MEASURE

The passage of the bill making two
cents the maximum rate of fare for the
transportation of passengers over
steam railroads in Pennsylvania, which
was approved by the governor Friday,
must be accredited to the persuasive
powers of the Homeless &c." compos-
ed of travelling statesmen /; to the efforts
of the State board of trade and the in
defatigable labors of the boards sec
retary. Mr. S. NJ. Williams.
The Homeless 26" began the crusade
with a demand for mileage books at
$50 straight; that is, without addition
al deposit of $40. This the railroad
companies refused to grant. The State
board of trade was organized with Mr..
Williams as the prime mover, and he
was made its secretary. This stronger
body continued the fight, and so sue
cessfully that mileage books without
the requirement of the $40 deposit
were issued, and when two-cent fare
talk became common the companies
made the fare two and one-half cents.
But that did not halt the movement
for lower fare. This was demanded,
and pledged, in the State platforms,
and the board of trade asked for and
received assurances from candidates
for the Legislature that they would
support bill making the maximum
rate two cents a mile. The pledges of
the successful candidates were we'll
k3pt, and the bill was passed with
only few votes in opposition. The
governor approved the act and it be-
comes law uext fall.
This delay was granted to enable the
railroads TO adjust themselves to the
new conditions. 1t is limited that they
will not obey without contest in the
courts, and that the railroads all over
the country will make common cause
against the rate bills which have been
passed in several States. That, how
ever. is another story. In Pennsylvania
the movement which began with rea
sonable demand for abolition of excess
charges for mileage books has ended
in the rate enactment, thus proving
that the public can rule when it will.

TO DOUBLE TRACK
SUNBURY DIVISION

Following the tour of Superintend-
ent T. W. Allibone and Assistant Eng
ineer W. r. Thompson over the Sun
bury division on Saturday it has been
announced, unofficially, that the en-
tire Sunbury division Will be double
tracked, and that the work will be
completed this summer.
The need for double track on this
division has long been almost neces-
sity on account of the increasing
traffic and the consequent congestion
all along the line. The officials of the
Sunbury division have for many years
been working with the ultimate object
of having the whole division double
tracked, and now it seems that they
have sufficiently interested the men
high in authority of the necessity of
the improvement.
Much of the road is at present
double tracked. Between Danville and
Sunbury there are only four miles
where there is but one track. On the
rest of the division the many sidings
make almost a continual double track
to Wilkes Barre. 1t is the intention
when the double track is finally COM
pleted to institute a number of i'm
provements on the line curves will be
Strengthened out and new bridges will
be built. A new cement bridge in now
in course of erection at Roaring
Greek. This bridge, which was started
yesterday morning, is to be for a
double track. The company is also
making improvements on its telegraph
lines.

Trailing Arbutus.

Danville people who have been out
in the rural districts report that the
pretty and fragrant early spring flow
er, trailing arbutus, is already peeping
through the dead leaves and grass
There are several places near the city
where the flower can be found, but it
grows less plentifully every year, as
many careless persons pull the plant up
by the roots to get the bloom. Care
should be used or in a few years the
plant will become extinct. If those
who gather the flower would use pair
of scissors they could gather the flow
ers quickly and do less damage.
