RockaRax River Dams.

Last week THE JERSEY CITY NEWS gave
an account of the condition of the dams
along the Rockaway River, showing that
they were in a very dangerous condition.
The region threatened is much agitated
over the matter, and the subject is much
discussed. In a recent interview Henry
Baker, who has long been a resident and
has interests in the various water powers,
said
EVERY dam along the Rockaway River
collapsed January s, 1S41. The break was
cansed by the heavy ice in the ponds
breaking suddenly and pushing out the
dams. When the break came it flooded
Dover and did considerable damage. /
am not certain, but l think the dam at
Washington Forge has broke once be
tween that time and last September. The
u of its breaking then was because
the finmeh had rotted away and would not
stand the pressure behind it. AS soon as
the fiume gave way the dam followed.
The two dams above here lave not broken
since 1871. The forge was destroyed by
fire twelve years ago, but excellent care
has been taken of both forge and mill
dams. Both ponds are small, however,
and should they break could do but little
damage.
Lower Longwood Pond could do no
damage, as it is only about half full, the
dam never having been repaired since it
broke. Upper Longwood dam has never
been repaired since it was rebuilt in 1871,
and / have been told the timbers are rot
ting away. 1t is a very large body of
water, held in check by a very high dam.
The tfmbers of the dam are interlocked in
the rock escarpment or either side and
then defect up stream, where they are in
terlocked again.
eff this dam should break it would I'M
doubtedly flood Dover, and would, in all
probability, tear out the rolling mill dam
with the volume of water let down,
What the damage would be l cannot esti-
mate, but it would undoubtedly be

To the Gazette.
1t is with much pleasure that 1 notice
in THE GAZETTE an effort to inaugurate
an immigration movement for the benefit
of Northwestern Texas.
This is q step in the right direction and
feel sure the people of the west and
northwest win heartily cooperate in the
move. Everyone realizes the failure of the
state Immigration effort in Texas, caused
by diversified interests-each one pulling
for his own particular locality, and when
things did not favor his section boiling
and Withdrawing. This was demon
strated by San Antonio in the state con-
Yention.
Now the move suggested by THE GA
ZETTE viii be Invested of any such diff
Guilty, as there is no diversity of interests
in the northwest and harmony and unity
of action would insure success.
The people of the west are proud of
Fort Worth and her people, and ali con-
cede THE GAZETTE to be the best paper
in the state, always ready to aid i'll the
development of what we believe will
soon be one of the finest sections of the
South.
Heretofore the opinion has prevailed
that the plains of West Texas were des-
ert-ft only for stockraising. 1t has
been demonstrated beyond doubt, how
ever, that this was common error.
The means are at hand for opening up
and developing the west, which will
make it one of the most fertile sections
of the state. Could you now visit the
plains of Western Texas on the line Of
the Texas and Pacific railway you would
see grapes peaches and plums equal to
any in the state; also pears, apples,
ounces and apricOts all growing luXu-
riantly, though not yet in bearing.
There is an abundant water supply for
400 miles west of Abilene. East of the
PecOs river irrigation can be extensively
carried on by the use of windmills; west of
the Pecos the PecOs iTrigating canal Will
soon be completed to PecOs City. Al
ready upon this canal several farms have
been opened up and can show growing
crops which will compare favOrably with
any country. In addition to this artesian
wells can be had anywhere within twenty
miles west of Pecos. These facts
point to the early settlement of our
section and in view of them it is of the
utmost Importance that we should move

migration organization for the north
west. You may rest assured of the
hearty cooperation of the people of our
section, and we viii send representative
to the convention, whenever it may be
called.
l could say more upon this subject, but
my letter is already too long, for which
l must crave your indulgence.

the news company and / cent
to the train boy This is fair
division, as the publisher furnishes
all the stock and takes all the risk. The
news company pays heavy bonus to the
railroad company for the exclusive priv
iIege of selling papers, fruits, etc, and
the train boy, giving his services only, is
enabled TO make good living. The
''good heartedness and carelessness of
the travelling public and the dishonesty
Of some of the train boys combine TO
make the cash results of the practical
workings of the business quite different
from the theoretical results above stated.
The return privilege, established princi-
pally in the interest of the public, has
been very much abused. Purchasers
leave their paper on the car seats or
give them to the train boys, and instead
OF settling in cash the boys return the
soiIed papers Thus the publishers get
nothing but soiled papers, the news COM
panies get nothing and the boys get all
the money, one-ffth honestly and four
fifths dishonesty. Only two solutions of
the difficulty present themselves. One
depends upon the good viii anu spirit of
fair play of the travelling public, who can
remedy the evil by keeping the papers
they purchase, or by throwing them out
the car windows to enlighten residents
along the railroad.

Gigantic Industrial Projects.

Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
en- examination of the list of new en-
terprises in the South as reported in this
issue of the Manufacturers Record
shows that the past week has been
marked by the organization of many en-
terprises, large and small, of a widely
diversified character, but standing out i'll
OvershadOwing Importance have been
number of gigantic projects successfully
cOnsummated looking to the develop
ment of many schemes Of great
extent. Prominent capitalists Of
New York and Virginia organized
into a So, 900 200 company have COM
pleted the purchase of immense iron ore
properties in Southwest Virginia, and
operations on a very large scale for min
ing and iron making will be carried out.
Philadelphia bankers, including such as
the DreXels and others Of that standing,
have paid $500 600 in cash for about one
thousand five hundred acres of land near
Dallas, Tex. and organized an $500 600
company, which will build up some
very extensive industrial enterprises
at that city. The sales of real
estate at Dallas for the week were
over one million two hundred and sixty
thousand dollars. Minnesota capitalists
ore regions, having carefully investigated
the Bessemer ore districts of Llano and
Mason counties, Texas, have bought
large interests there for over nine
hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
and this purchase will doubtless be fol-
lowed by heavy developments. Near
Fort Worth 5000 acres of land have been
sold to Denver people for over
FIVE hundred thousand dollars,
and other heavy transactions have also
been made. At Chattanooga an extern
sive street railway system has been
bought for $3.50 900 and electric
ity will supplant horses as motive
power; Virginia has organized a
$500 600 mining company; Kentucky
$500 200 coal mining and coke making
company and also a 5000 900 coal min
ing company; West Virginia a 5000 600
electric company; Maryland a $50 900
mining enterprise; Dallas 500 900 brick
works, and Chattanooga $40 200 brick
works. At Birmingham the contract has
been closed for building steel works;
Florence, Ala, has secured wrought
iron works and foundry and bagging
factory At marlborough, the
new Kentucky town which English
capitalists are spending $40 200 200 in
developing, contracts have been signed
fer gas, water and electric works and ice
factory and plans adopted for extensive
railroad machine shops, round house,
etc, to be built by the Louisville and
Nashville railroad.
These great enterprises reported in this
week IS issue of the Manufacturers Rec
ord but serve TO mark the extent of the
industrial activity which stretches over
the whole South from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande.

d JOURNALISTIC MOUNTEBANK.
Time was when the Chicago Times was
one of the greatest newspapers in the
country, and a power in the Yves tern
land. It's leading editorials were strong
its paragraphs bright and sparkling
and its news features unsurpassed. Edi-
tor Story was a man of great pluck
and enterprise, and some of his sensa-
tional performances in the way of getting
matter are still the talk of the profession.
But when the old editor died his magnifi-
cent newspaper property fell into char
latan hands, and the once splendid
Times is a feeble sort of concern without
intelligence or direction, and without q
small share of the patronage which it once
enjoyed.
One J. J. West managed to get con-
troll of the Times and has been cutting up
high jinks IN the management thereof.
Having no money he established personal
credit by putting his name in the paper
as editor, and he traded on it until he
and the Times are both involved in what
appears to be financial ruin. Since the
troubles of the paper have become public
property the other Chicago papers have
been saying some pretty tart things
about West. The News relates the fol-
lowing:
1t hasn't been SO very long ago since J. J. West
was book agent, and the sudden spring from
the position of a friendIess book agent to that
of the chief editor of a Chicago daily paper
which had once been great was little too much
for him. He was wont to sit in his corner room
and read from proof to some of the hands edito-
rails which he said he had written but which the
help knew he had not a.
Some time ago there Kere sbtne letters in the
Times anent Amelia Rives- CAanIer' S. novels.
The papers attracted good deal of attention on
account of the gingery way in which they were
written, being very nearly as salacious and
naughty as the work of that much advertised
young person. Mr.. West quietly laid claim to
being the author, when it was well known about
the Office that such was not the case.
1t was a favorite diversion of his to go to the
theaters, where he demanded box, and there
parade himself before the people, his particular
foible being to have the Office boy come tearing
down the aisle with a bunch of proofs. which he
would apparently correct amid great pomp and
circumstance.

ties have been improved, the business of
our ports has been increased, and every
interest in Georgia has felt the quicken
ing touch OF prosperity. No idle fear of
railroad combina ions should brighten
Us into undoing the upbuilding
of our home interests. All combi-
nations cease to be dangerous
to the people when they are con-
trolled by the people, and to this COM
plexion the railroad problem has come at
last. If railroads want to combine, let
them combine-they cannot hurt the
people so long as the people remain on
top.
With our state and Interstate commits
sions on guard we need not fear unjust
discrimination on the part Of the rail-
roads, and, after all, that was our great
est nger-discrimination in favor OF or
against persons and places, and not mere
combinations. These points should not

Building Up Texas Cities.
Austin Statesman.


The figures in the forthcoming report
of Commissioner Foster, now being col
Iected from official sources, will explain
the rapid progress for the last few years
of such places as Houston and Dallas.
The statistics show an amount of capital
invested in manufactures as surprising as
gratifying. Houston, the manufacture
ing Statistics of which were published a
day or two since, makes & splendid show
ing in this direction. In that city nearly
two thousand persons are directly
supported by manufacturing enter
prises, to say nothing of the
advantages to the business of the
town by the expenditure OF the money re-
ceived by them in wages. This it is that
has done more than anything else of late
years to make Houston one Of the most
thriving marts in the state, and that has
built her up in the face of many adverse
surroundings into place of 30 900 peo-
pie.
Dallas makes even a better showing
and NAV be termed the manufacturing
center of Texas. What is the result? A
rising city claiming 90 200 population,
and q prospective population five years
hence of IS 900. People go where they
can get employment. Dallas is furnish
ing it. One result is the rapid apprecia-
ton of rea1,estate values along With the
building up OF the local trade.
Witilssuch examples before her it does
seem to us that Austin will be pursuing a
policy absolutely suicidal if she fails of
inaugurating system OF manufactures
which are building up other cities all
around her. The more is the reason
since she possesses advantages that
neither Dallas nor Houston ever had.
What would they do had they the mag
nifcent water power possessed by Austin?
