Death of "Farmero Dean.

Isaac E. Dean, known to almost every
body throughout the oil regions as
Farmer" Dean, died at the home of his
brother, G. W. Dean, Oil City, Louisiana,
Aug IL, 1911. The cause of his death is
not given in the reports. He was 65 years
of age and leaves one daughter, Mildred
Dean, of Blockville, two brothers, Walter
L. Dean, of Memphis. Tenn, and G. W.
Dean, of Oil City, La, and one sister,
Mrs. w. N. Gale, of Blockville. Burial
took place at Shreveport, La. He was
born near Jamestown, N. Y, and early
in life won prominence in the oil busi'
ness in which he had been engaged for
near hall century. Coming to the oil
country In 1854, he had been connected
with the developments of oil and gas in
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio since
that time, his last operations being in the
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana
fields as they came into prominence. A
man of more than ordinary native ability,
personal presence and physique that
would attract attention in any gathering
of men, a spirit of independence and a
gift for argument, either in personal con-
versstion or from the public platform,
Mr.. Dean was prominent in many ma
tional campaigns as public speaker,
usually taking up the new things in
politics, such as "green back ism," "free
silver" and the like.
For number of years, from 1896 to
1899, he was resident of Tionesta where
he made many friends by whom the
memory of the kindly, charitable and
sympathetic man that he was will be
cherished for many years to come.

A MODERN NUMBERING PLANT.
Expected That Clapp Lands Timber
viii be Manufactured Near
TiOnesta,

The fact is practically assured that the
new numbering firm of Coleman 4 Wat
son will locate their plant at the mouth of
Johns Run, on the south bank of Tio-
nests Creek, about mile from the
borough limits. II plans now almost
mstured are carried out it will mean
storage dam for stock across the run be.
low which band mill of modern design
and equipment will be erected, which
will have capacity for turning out
large amount of lumber daily and on
which extra long timber can be handled.
dam will also be run across Tionesta
creek, over which bridge will be built
Ofsufficlent strength to permit of locomo-
tive and loaded cars being carried oyer,
thus forming junction with the Sheffield
d Tionests railroad, which, il is expected
will be running trains early next sum-
mer.
The company expects to build barges
at their plant, having large amount of
timber on their tract suitable for this class
corporations. For this reason the dam
will be built across the creek on the
banks of which the barge yards will be
located, the dam furnishing backwater
sufficient for storing the big boats, and
running thom TO the river in all stages of
water. We understa and that a contract
will be given to Messrs. George Miller
and T. Frank Joyce, both practical men,
for the erection of the dams and the piers
and abutments Of the bridge, all of which
are to be of concrete.
A railroad Of standard gauge and
equipped with first class rolling stock
will be run from the mill plant to timber
tracts, formerly the Clspp lands, which
practical engineers say can be reached
on easy grades in distance of three to
four miles. OF course it is understood
that this does not include the spurs that
will be necessary in order to each the
timber on all parts of the two o-thousand-
acre tracts and which will require per-
hsps as much more railroad.
1t is estimated that Messrs. Coleman &
Watson have sufficient timber to keep
their plant running five to seven years,
and giving employment to seventy-five
or more men, many of whom can have
their homes in Tionesta, thus obviating
the necessity of building houses at the
plant
