Company, the Illinois Steel Company, the
Pennsylvania Steel Company, and the
Edgar Thomson Steel Company. The
new company, formed by the consolida-
ton of the Lacawanna and the Scranton
Companies, will be known as the Lacka-
wanna Steel e. Iron Company. W. W.
Scranton, President of the Scranton Com
pahy, will become director in the new
corporation, and will contract not to
engage in steel rail making in tue North
ern States for ten years. Walter Scran-
ton, Vice-P President of the Scranton Com
pany, will become sales agent of the new
company. W. W. Scranton was formerly
General Manager of the Lacawanna Coal
s. Iron Company, but gave up that position
several years ago and formed the Scran-
ton Company. with a capital of S75O, 900.

Mr.. LOngini's Dam.

Editor Of the Big stone Pos':
In YOUR editorial of February 81, The
Dam Again" YOU consider my views, re-
gardng the dam, as being short ightcd,
selfish and absurd. Judging from your
standpoint, YOU may he right. We're to
advocate that the dam in question become
the catch basin for the sewerage of your
city, | certainly would be very short
sighted, since have interests on both
sides of the river, and would thus depre
ciate my own property. Ii it is selfish to
have Il hobby, or weakness for cascades,
The editor forgets that such luxury can
not readily be acquired in the city where
| reside AS to my being absurd, because
| advocate Keeping the stream free from
sewerage, the future will bear me out
that my judgment may be rs good as the
views of those who are ready at all times
to sacrifice their ueighbor's property for
public benefits.
Istill maintain for the public good, as well
as for my own, that the dam should re-
main. If you desire, fill it up to within
one or two feet of the water surface, and
then build flood gates over the dam and
have that on which other cities have
spent fortunes to obtain. admit, Mr..
Editor, as far as my right permits me, |
shall be out and out against making
the South Fork of Powell's river the fu
ture cesspool of your city. ! have seen
that stream, in the summer, when there
was not enough water running in it to
carry off the sewerage of an ordinary
