DROUTH GRIPPING WEST.
MILLS CLOSING DOWN.
Engines Ruined by Poor Water-
Coke al Gone Near PittSburg.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I

Pittsburg Dec 20.-It is feared that within
the next ten days almost every industry in
Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio will
have to close down. The drOuth is the worst in the
history of this part of the country. The Weather
Bureau cannot see any relief in sight. There is
only half foot of snow the level. If this
melts it will only be equal to six-tenths of an
inch of rain. and it viii take at least one inch
of rain besides TO be Of any benefit.
The Edgar Thomson steel plant has ordered a
large part of the plant to close down The fur
naces have no coke and the boilers are all cor
roded with the sulphur from the coal mines.
In the country districts, especially in the
mountains. nothing but melted snow can be had
for watering stock or for house Firemen
have hung up their hose in scores of towns.
Mines have closed, after using sulphur water
until corrosion had eaten boilers and pipes 70
shell. This Is working hardship. as fuel can
not be had. The south is suffering for coal, and
not mine along the NIunongahea River is IN
operation. Streams that have never been dry
within memory of man have not been covered
with water for month and pools frozen
solid.
Workmen at the National Tube Works. the
Duquesne and Homestead mills say conditions
at these places cannot be explained, and orders
TO close down are expected hourly. The fur
naces of the Shenango and Mahoning valleys
have only two more weeks coke on hand. Even
if the Connellsvie region supply the coke.
the railroads cannot haul il. and this at a time
when the boom In iron and steel is at it's best.
The Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio
railroads are suffering from the drOuth. Most
of the engines being used by the Pennsylvania
between here and Harrisburg have been dis
abled by the eating away of the boilers, which
has been caused by the poor water used The
troughs lying between the tracks, which held
water that the engine scooped up in passing. are
dried up and the engines must be supplied from
other reservoirs of water at the disposal of the
railroad

years and one for twenty-five years. This is
the first definite result of the efforts to break

It had been expected that the sentences would
