Editor HERALD:
A cloud of suspicion has been rest
ing on one of our well known citizens for
several weeks; suspicion apparently so
well founded and Of such a serious nat
ure that it was thought advisable to
institute searching investigation. A
meeting of the business men of the town
was held and the undersigned were ap-
pointed a committee to wait upon the
gentleman apparently implicated and
demand an explanation. This was done,
and plain, straightforward statement
was made by the suspected gentleman,
which has since been corroborated by
the evidence obtained by the committee.
The explanation Of the suspicious cir
cumstances is perfectly satisfactory to
the committee, as far as our neighbor is
concerned, and they hasten to publish
the fact go that injustice may no longer
be done, in the minds of the people, to
an innocent man. The circumstances
and the proof are of their very nature of
such character that only harm could
be done by their publication in detail,
and it is therefore hoped that sufficient
confidence can be placed in the judg-
ment of the committee to set at rest the
NppbHc mind. AS DR.. u. J. Webb, one
Iof the committee left town before the
investigation was completed Mr.. NJ. G.
True was secured to act for him

Tho Methodist Jubilee.

Last Wednesday evening, May 1st. 4,
was grand time with Grayling Meth
odists. The jubilee was held on that
evening and was success, especially
Id one particular for which the people
met, namely, the paying up OF the last
cent on the church debt. Ever since
the church was dedicated it has been
laborlng under n heavy debt and on
the jubilee evening it was all paid up.
The amount raised was S4Gl.0 90, which
clears the church of all incumbrance.
The church is now in better condi-
tlon than ever before, having been
beautified throughout by the hand
some gift of Mr.. N. Nicholson, made
last Fall, and will compare very favor.
ably with those of more pretentious
villages.
The addresses delivered by Revs.
Caster, Hicks and Nickerson, were
we'll received, and the music by the
Choir, was as 1t always is on such oc-
easions, very good.
The supper provided by the ladies
wa: jubilee feast, and all could have
been served had they waited long
enough, The jubilee lasted we'll into
the night, but at length all went home
glad that they would hear nothing
more about that old debt on the Meth
odist church.

We reprint an article from the Garden and
Forest, entitled danger from Mountain Re-
servoirs," which is deserving of great deal
Of consideration. If this article correctly re-
ports the views of Major Powell, much more
harm is to be expected than good from his
work. The mountain reservoirs which the
Garden and Forest" thinks he refers to
would be SO expensive that they would hard
ly he practicable. There are plenty of depres.
sions on our plains which permit of the con-
struction Of reservoirs with very slight
expense. Nature has made the excavation as
well as the walls and there would be no danger
from any foods to anyone. The only work the
government would have to do would be to
secure bottom that would hold water. The
most effective way is to make cement bot
tom. But this is very expensive. Its found
that the same result caI be obtained by pgd.
ding with adobe soil. Only, it is necessary
that the water should run in for some time
before the reservoir will hold it. 1t is possible
that Major Powell has this kind of reservoirs
In view and speaks Of them az 'smouptain"
reservoirs because within from fifty to hun
dred miles Of the range. Major Powell's plan
of destroying the forests in the mountains
around the sources Of the western rivers is al
post too absurd to receive serious considera-
tion. Natures method o.. holding back the
water by allowing 1t to soak into the ground
is much better than allowing it to run on the
| surface and catching it in dams. The water
that Is soaked into the ground eventually
reaches the great water covrses, only more
slowly and with less likelihood Of damage.
To secure the end that Major Powell has in
view, we want more trees, rather than fewer.
As result, now, cur streams are not swollen

east or about the head waters of the Missis.
| sippi. The snow melts slowly because oil the
shade of these trees and also because the water
sonks into the ground and finds its way slowly
to the larger water courses. The idea of keep
| ing this water ON the arid land is good one,
and we trust some good scheme will be found.
But it will not be accomplished If Major
| Powell's views are carried out.--Colorado

Good Enough.

Some time ago the Treasury Department
was informed that it was desired to take o
number of Chinese laborers to the West Indies,
and application was made for permission to
take them through the United States territory
ip transit, provided bond was given that
none of them would remain in this country.
The matter was referred to the solicitor Of
the treasury. He gave an opinion that there
was nothing in the law to prohibit the land
ing of Chinese for the mere purpose or pass
ing through the country.
Secretary Window, however, was not pre-.
pared to change the existing regulations to
this extent and directed rejection of the ap.
plicntion until thequestion could be consider
ed more thoroughly. No further action on the
subject is at all likely, however, as it is un.
derstool arrangements have been since made
with Canadian transportation company by
which the Chinese will be taken across the
continent without the necessity of entering
United States territory.

The Conemaugh Dam.

The South Fork, or Conemaugh dam, nine
miles from Johnstown, was built by the state
as a feeder to the canal and was completed in
1851. As originally built across the valley it
had a width of base of 800 feet and 80 feet on
the crown, with a height of 80 feet at the
center face, the outside slope being forty-five
degrees and the inside slope twenty-five de.
grees.
The dam was built ofpuddled clay faced in
side with stone and with riprap fgreat stones
on the outside, the proportion being 200 feet
of clay and 100 feet of riprap, diminishing
with the slope. The length of the dam was
$50 feet. The culvert was 12 feet in diameter
and in its center was the regulating pipe.
This dam was abandoned after the sale of
the canal by the state, and the culvert and
adjacent parts were all washed out The dam
was subsequently reconstructed by the South
Fork Fishing club in 1882. The culvert was
closed up with solid stone, filled in with dirt
back.
This dam was 70 feet high and had waste
weir 40 feet wide by 10 feet deep cut in the
solid rock.
The dam did not burst, but the water rose
SO rapidly that the waste weir could not carry
it off, and it overfowed and washed out Il gap
in the dam 1926 feet wide on top and 175 feet at
the bottom. The lake above the dam was two
and nine-tenths miles long by one-eighth mile
in width with maximum depth of sixty
feet, and an average depth of forty-fye feet.
This volume of water was discharged, accord
ing to the evidence Of the engineer in charge,
Mr.. John G. Parks, in forty five minutes.
From all this information it is seen that the
dam did not burst; that its strength was suf.
ficient for the work it had to do; that it was
lower than the old dam, and was provided
with waste weir of large, though, as events
show, insufficient dimensions. The washing
out of the dam was net unexpected; for hours
the engineer saw itinevitable since the water
had risen aLoye the crown of the dam, and
was flowing over it, and this in the impossible.
ity Of increasing the waste weirs, made the
failure of the dam by washing out merely a
question of time.
The engineer sent men ard rods himself
down the valley, warming the people that the
dam was breaking. ManT tiot only saved
themselves, but their furniture, and those in
Johnstown had abundant time to have escap.
ed, but they did not realize the effect of such
flood, and remained in the house no doubt
expecting flood but not sarrent and de-
luge. The damming up of the water against
the stone bridge, no doubt WINS the cause of q
very large part of the loss of life.
insufficient overflow weirs aud the material
of which the dam was built seem to have been
the chief defects in the structure, which was
strong enough. No engineer should think of
building an earth dam at ssclI q point, and
had this dam been built Of rock the overflow
would not have worn it away.
An earth dam has appropriate places, but
one of them certainly is not just above thick
ly Inhabited valley.-Erchdnge
