The break in the Newton Hamilton
dam has destroyed that part of the
pleasure OF the camp meeting people,
who delighted to take a steamboat
ride on the dam occasionally during
camp-meeting time. Since the water
escapes through tho break in the dam,
the river in front of Newton Hsmil-
ton is like common stretch of river
front The fate of the Newton Ham
ilton dam reveals what is to befall
the Lewistown dam. There is at
this time break in the last named
dam, which will enlarge from time
to time till the splendid sheet of water
in front of Lewistown has been re-
duced to the river bed it was before
the dam was placed across the
stream. It is probable the railroad
company would be we'll pleased to
see the dam wash out, for when it is
gone it will take higher water than is
required at this time to reach the
filling for the new tracks in straight
ening the curve in the road along the
dam below Lewistown.
