Mud Creek, the outlet of Lake Lamo-

Hammondsport, furnishes water power
to Jesse Munson's saw-mill. Lake La
moka is famous for its cells. A few
days ago the water being turned on full
head at the mill, which was in opera
ton, the waterwheel suddenly ceased
to 90 round. The saws all stopped, and
the sawyer went to see what the trouble
was. He saw sight that staggered
him. Every bucket of the wheel, and
wherever there was space between the
paddles, was iammed full to overlooking
with writhing mass Of cells. The fish
had come down the stream in such num-
bers that they choked the passage
They were packed in the wheel SO COM
pac,'y that they had to be chopped out
with axes from the buckets: Nine hun
dred GELS were removed from the wheel
before operation at the mill could be re-
sumed. This is tbs third time in the
history of this mill that it has been
shut down by cells in the same way

only must fruit-growers stand heavy
loss, but canning and evaporating es-
adjustments will stand idle, and thou
sands of men, women and children will
miss the employment which these insti-
tutions would have given them. There
will be no call for fruit barrels and
many other fruit packages, and the men
who make them will have no trade. In
short there will be q stagnancy in the

the ground gets very hard from being

Suggestions for Industrious waEe-Work.
ers Everywhere.
There is no end of ''plans of lots espe-
cially adapted to the convenience of
workingmen" for sale in and about
Pittsburgh, and there is big demand
for such lots. The syndicate of specu-
lators buy 10 acres, say at 81, 900 an acre,
cut each acre up into 16 lots and retail
them at from $3.50 to $500 lot. This
gives them about $4,000 for each acre,
and it may cost $500 an acre for expenses,
leaving the enterprising spectators
clear 5000 or 800 per cent ON the ad-
venture. Mayhap the speculator is
worthy of his hire, but there is biblical
authority for asserting positively that
the laborer is thus worthy, and logically
he is entitled to have this hire economi-
cally expended.
If instead of 18 workmen buying lots
equal to one acre from spectators,
these 16 were to form little syndicate
Of their own and put up 81, 800, they
could buy two acres for $4,000, thus
giving them double the area in each lot
that the spectators would sell them,
and expend the balance so as to have
roadways, boardwalk, fencing and other
improvements Men who have the good
sense to save money to build their own
homes should exercise this sense little
further and do as is suggested in the
foregoing.
Money invested in this way is as we'll
invested as in savings bank, and prom
ises much largest interest in case some
time hereafter one may desire to sell
out For don't you see each man would
have the advantage of a low price for
his real estate. The 18 with whom we
illustrate this plan would have clean
profit in their two acres Of s., 900 or $475
each as compared with what others pay
real estate spectators. This is pretty
good margin to start off with, and would
certainly assure the individual against
