The law requiring the township au-
thorities to remove loose ton from the
highways once a month is still in vogue.
although one would hardly think so from
the appearance of the average public road.
In many localities the law is apparently
a dead letter, and stones are allowed to
remain in the roads the year around. The
work of removing the loose stones is so
easy of accomplishment that it would
seem scarcely necessary TO call attention
to the law so frequently.
1T was reported that G. II. Lowe Il Co.
had struck a good gasser in the we'll they
are drilling on the farm of Mrs. E. Ii.
Fredericks, in the extreme northern cor.
ner of warrant 5l5S, Green township,
near the Golinzs oil aud gas field, but the
report could not be confirmed, owing &c
the distance of the we'll from any tele'
phone communication. The Forest Gas
Co. are drilling a deep well at Bull run
about a mile above Golinza. 1t is ex'
pected to go to depth of 1900 feet.
