People in the st. Claire Valley Still Camp
Ing on the Hills.
louisville. Pa, June 22-After twenty
hours of work at drawing off through the pipes
the water in the immense leaking reservoir Of
the Pottsville Water Company in the st. Claire
Valley has only lowered six feet and the
danger of the entire breast giving
away at any instant has increased. Experts
and the builders of the dam frankly confess
that they cannot understand how the bank is
holding together SO long under the wear Of
the escaping waters. The people of st.
Claire and surrounding towns are still
on the hills, where they spent the night.
Pottsville and other safe places entertained hun
dreds Of them last night. st. Claire councils
are being urged to end the suspense by the use
of dynamite and the excitement is be-
yond description. The Reading Railroad
Company has suspended traffic on the
branch in the threatened valley and has re-
moved goodly part Of its engines and rolling
stock to safe points. Large construction gangs
are ready for instant call and large guam
titles Of new material have been brought
to nearby points. There are no food
gates to the dam, the only outlet being
two twelve-inch service mains, and these can
only release the water in about double the vol
ume that is running in from the feed streams.
This is why the water lowers so slowly. The
water escaping by the leak would if put together
fill main the size of -four barrel Pottsville
is being supplied from other dams Of the COM
pany. Many collieries and other industrial es-
adjustments are idle from lack Of hands in con-
sequence of the excitement.
