HALF MILLION DOLLAR
PROJECT ALMOST DONE

Sunday afternoon DR.. ]. Fl. Murray
and the editor Of The STAR paid 4
visit to the scene Of the greatest
engineering project attempted In JefYer.
son county In recent years, the big
Kyle Run dam Of the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburgh Railway Company,
three miles west Of Falls Creek, and
about six miles north OF Reynoldsville.
Half million dollars will be put into
this dam, which will hold when com
pleted five million gallons Of water and
supply the B., r. & P. operations at
Dubois with water. The huge breast
works Of the dam, built OF steel and
concrete, stretch across the broad Kyle
Run valley like the walls Of a gigantic
fortress and may be seen cleaning gray
in the sun from distance OF six or
seven miles. The land up the valley
from the breastworks for over mile is
being cleared OF stumps and old logs
and the total area which will be cover
ed with water when the dam is filled
will be between two and three square
miles
The question OF securing an adequate
supply OF water for the industries in
this section is becoming very serious.
The building Of retaining dams,
which will fill in the winter and spring
ahd hold summers supply is a partial
solution Of the problem, but have not
yet proven complete success for the
reason that the leakage below and the
evaporation during the summer is 80
great that unless constant and large
supply is flowing In, the largest bodies
Of water disappear in q short time
during the summer months without
regard to the amount used for in
dustrial purposes.
The B., r. & P. company q few years
ago spent s25O,0OO on large dam at
Cloe, Indiana county, and for q long
time 1t was questioned whether the
dam would ever hold sufficient water to
be Of practical service, owing to
leakage. The company has at last got
1t into condition and at present it is
about half full Of water.

Subsidiary Concern of the Amer
ican Silk Company of New
York Fails.
REORGANIZATION PLANS ALL FAILED

The property of the York Silk
Manufacturing Company, which
was one of the subsidiary con-
Germs allied with the American
Silk Company of New York. in
much the same manner as the
American Silk Company of New
Jersey, which owns the local
mill, was recently attached by
the sheriff and on the Goth OF
August was sold. No bidders
appearing, it was bought in by
representatives of the bond
holders for $3.50. Bonds to the
amount of $5SO,OOO stand
against the company.
Reports from the east received
by the secretary of the Business
Mems Association are to the
effect that all efforts to re-
organize the American Silk
Company have failed and it is
the expectation of men high in
the company's affairs that the
bondholders will step in and
wind up the affairs of the COM
pany at no distant date.
