Trolley Survey Progressing.

Last week corps of engineers
began at the top of Cove noun
tain and surveyed for the pro-
posed trolley line between this
place and Fort Loudon. Begin
ming at a point on top of the
mountain just north of Mer-
cersburg pike the surveyors came
in an almost straight line to near
the foot of the mountain to the
field lying between George Mag
sam and Dallas Myers places.
From there they swung round to
where the two pixies fork east of
town.
On the east side of the noun
tain they went northward, slop-
ing along the side to a point near
where the old toll gate stood on
the Chambersburg pike. From
there they paralleled the pike,
keeping between it and the top
to Cape Horn. They then swung
to the right to Rocky Hollow,
and from there to the station at
Fort Loudon. AS we understand
it, the trolley line will not cross
either of the two pixies on the
mountain.
A public meeting was held in
the schoolhouse at Webster Mills
Tuesday evening, at which time
the promoters of the McConnells-
burg and Fort Loudon Rail Road
Company gave out such informa-
tion as they had secured to date.
Application for the charter has
been made, and as soon as it is
received the sale of bonds will
begin. The general grade OF the
line surveyed is about 6 per cent.
with not more than 3 per cent,
on curves which will guarantee
safety at those points.

A Chance to Make Money.

Country people may make mon
ey next summer by reason of the
heavy auto travel that is sure to
occur.
Two good reasons may be given
for the expectation of heavy auto
travel on the Chambersburg and
Bedford pike, which is now a
link in the great Lincoln High
way. One reason for increased
travel is that tens of thous-
ands of Americans who go to
Europe every summer will re-
main in this country on account
of the great war now going on in
foreign countries. For many
years this travel has been so
great that parts of some Europe
an countries depend upon it al
most solely for support. Anoth-
er reason for the expectation Of
increased travel on this, and, on
other great thoroughfares, is be-
cause of the Worlds Fair in Cali
fornia this summer. The Lin
coin Highway links have been
connected until they reach from
coast to coast, and tourists have
been assured that the road is in
good condition. Not only will
the tourists who annually spend
millions in Europe make use of
the new route to California, but
thousands of others who enjoy
auto travel will take this wonder
full trip. Travellers to foreign
countries took with them their
autos, and the money they dis
tributed at the wayside inns is
amazing. Farmers wives, and
boys and girls, who are fortunate
to live on the Lincoln Way can
coin money by erecting neat
signs at their gates telling of |
delicacies that can be had there. |
Tourists will buy clean, cool milk, |
buttermilk, cream, fruit, berries,
homemade pies, nuts, sand
wiches, fresh crisp vegetables
that are eaten raw, eggs, and
many other articles that come
from country homes if they are
assured by the neat and clean
appearance of the vendor that
the articles are pure, clean, and
wholesome.

New Bridge at Harrisburg.

The Cumberland Valley Rail-
road, a part of the Pennsylvania
System, will within short time
start work on a modern arch
bridge to replace its present steel
deck truss bridge over the Sus-
quehanna River at Harrisburg,
Pa. The new bridge will cost
approximately $75O,0O0. This
will be the first construction work
of any magnitude to be underta-
ken by any of the lines of the
Pennsylvania System for more
than year.
The proposed bridge will have
46 spans and will carry two
tracks. The present piers will
be utilized and a number of ad-
ditional ones built. The bridge
will be 1000 feet long the same
length as the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads now famous stone bridge
over the Susquehanna River at
Rockville, Pa, just above Harris
