TOLL ROADS TO
GO, SAYS BLACK
Highway Commissioner Push
ing the Work of Freeing
80. Highways From Gates

Forty-one and half of the 525
miles of road remaining in Pennsyl-
\ania will be freed by purchase of
rurnpike rights by the State Highway
Department in conjunction with
counties within the next twenty days
and will be added to the 197.07 miles
from which the commonwealth has
removed the tollgates since 1913.
Thanks to legislative liberality more
progress has been made in the last
Two years and a half in getting rid
of toll roads than ever before and
since the commonwealth has adopted
the policy of working with counties
which have been willing ito go fifty
fifty" on the cost it has been able to
do much to relieve the State.
The first appropriation was of
100000 made in 1913 after the leg
islative commission of 1909 had re-
ported that there were 1872 miles of
toll road in Pennsylvania, and that
all should be freed for the benefit of
the people of the State. In 1915 an
appropriation of $274,000 was voted
and this year half a million dollars
was appropriated, largely because
the legislators found that counties
were willing to bear part of the cost.
The present plans call for prompt
action in a number of counties. In
Westmoreland county the Donegal
Mt. Pleasant tunpike is to be freed
on basis of share and share by the
State and the county and it's pur-
chase will remove the last tollgates
in the Keystone State west of the AL
leghennies, according to the depart
ment officials. In Lancaster county,
where there are $50 miles of toll road
a campaign is being waged to free
them gradually. Similar moves are to
be made in York, Mifflin, Delaware,
Montgomery and other counties and
the combined action of Dauphin,
Lebanon and Berks counties will late
this month take away the last toll
gates between Harrisburg and Read
ing at cost of $4,000.
Notable purchases of toll roads in
clude those in Lackawanna, 4.3I
miles; Lancaster pike, Philadelphia
to Paoli, IA; Bucks. 20; Somerset, s;
Center I; MIA in, 5; Franklin, So;
Fulton, 1S.6, and Adams, 81. The
first turnpikes were formerly freed
by the late Z. NJ. Bigelow when COM
missioner and his successors r. J.
Cunningham and F. b. Black have
participated in similar ceremonies.
The present mileage includes 394.-
SIS on State highways, which the
Highway Department can condemn
and 13O.35 not on such highways.

Enola. Pa. Aug. 6.-According to
the quota allotted to the towns in
the county Enola will be required to

contain mostly members of the Enola
home guard company, which has
been drilling on the Y. NJ. G.. A. ath-
letic field for several weeks. Men
desiring to join the company will
sign applications. which will be in
dorsed by the local chairman of the

FUND FOR BELGIAN CHILDREN
 IS STEADILY GROWING

The fund for the relief of Belgian chll- dren, started here at the suggestion of the governor of Aluska, Is steadily growing, and during the past weel, many contributions have been sent in to Treasurer Richard C. Button at the bank. No canvass for con trbuticns is being made but arrangements have been made whereby lists are being posted at Flat and Discovery, besides the one at the bank in IditGrod.
 Since thc arrival of the mail here it h2- been learned that the United States gov ernmcnt has placed a generous sum at the dispcsal of Mr Hoover's commission for the immediate needs of the Belgian people, but according to the Literary Digest, which has been active in the relief work, While the loan will meet the immediate pressing needs of the commission for relief in Bel givm. the people of America should not cease their giving. All who have had an opportunity to read Mrs. Charlotte kel- loge's book. recently published on Women of Belgium, will readily understand the numerous ways in which charity that is not merely feeding the bodies can be car ricd out to the benefit of a stricken people whose rehabilitation deserves the assistance of the world"
 Dr. H. R. Moore, of the Flat drug store, has kindly consented to accept contrbu- ticns for the fund, which he will forward to Mir Button.
 It is learned that in March last pr. Moore sent S25 to the fund of the Literary Digest for Belgian relief, and this month sent 8 like amount.

GEORGE RILEY RETURNS
 FROM TOLSTOI COUNTRY

J. F. Riley was passenger from Dike man on the Prairie Belle, arriving last Wednesday. He came from Tolstoi, where he has been for some time past looking over his operations on Boob creek. He reports that work or the Emmet fraction has been discontinued for the present, owing to sloughing in the drifts. The paystreak is directly under the bed of the creek, and is thawed to a considerable distance The plant is now being moved to discovery claim.
 Reports at Tolstoi are to the effect that Harry Madison is taking out good money on Esperanto creek. Work is also under way on one or two other creeks, but most of the prospectors have left the district temporarily, and 1t is rather quiet in that district. Mir. Riley expects to see a re newal of prospecting work in the fall.
