The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1882-03-15

The friends Of Hon. M, i. Lock-
wood, Of Clarion county, are urging
him to become the Democratic candi.
date for Congress in this district in
the ensuing campaign. OF course the
Republicans propose to elect their man
this time; that is foregone conclu.
zion but the Democrats could not
get a stronger candidate anywhere in
the district than Mr.. Lockwood, and
if there is shadow of chance for
them to win, it lies in the selection of
him as their candidate. If the acci-
dent should again happen, ,-of which
there is not the slightest danger,-
that the Democrats should slip in
their man, what an improvement MI.
L. would be on the present Incumbent.
The Tionesta & Allegheny River
Railway is causing considerable ex-
element in financial circles. Books
have been opened to receive subscrip-
tions at their general Office in Oil City,
at May, Park G. Co.'s Bank in Tio-
nesta, and at 115 Broadway, New
York City. This is a remarkable line

Mr., Whittekin Informs us that the
maximum grade will be about II feet
per mile, aud maximum cirvature 80.
Ike line is crooked but yet it's general
direction is on about direct line be-
tween the termini, South Oil City, and
Sheffield, Pa. Hurry the thing along
and let US have the thing done with /;
there has been talk enough to build
three roads, but it now looks like one
of the certainties of the near future

The lumbermen along the Tio-
uesta are jublant. The rise of Friday
and Saturday gave them an oppUrtu-
nifty to get nice lot of their lumber
out, and on Saturday aud Monday
most of them pulled out down the
river. Messrs. Wheeler & Dusenbury
have run several Alleghenies and have
one, and FIVE creek RATS at this place
yet, and twentysix creek pieces at
ther mills at Newtown. Ford q Lacy
have their lumber pretty much out,
and likewise all the rest at Nebraska.
There is considerable yet to come
from Bearcreek, LamentatiOn, Buck
mills, Bob's creek, Minister and Fox.
burg. The Salmon Greek Lumber
Co. will not be ready to run until the
next rise. We believe they did not
run any on the present water. Messrs.
Brace & Allen of BraceviIe, will, we
understand, build number of barges
for the down-river trade for the pres
ent and coming season. This is as it
should be. Build the barges and
boats at home and then run them
down, instead of running the lumber
and let some one else do the building.
This industry belongs to US and it is
but right that we should have it. Let
others do likewise.
