Opposed Power Company Plans.

Protests against the approval by the
State Water Supply commission of the
eighteen charters for "power companies"
to be embraced in project to generate
electricity for Pittsburg and western
Pennsylvania through the erection of big
dams and power plants on the Clarion
river and Tionests creek, were heard by
the com mmission at Harrisburg last Fri
day. Representatives of business men
and residents of Forest, Clarion and War
ren counties, leislstors and members of
of the Pittsburg Flood commission were
present.
The project, which is backed by Pitts
burg men, contemplates the erection of
dam 800 feet high mile and half above
the mouth of Tionesta creek, backing the
water up Big Coon creek, tunnelling
through the hill and running the water
into the Clarion river, and on that stream
it is proposed to build two dams of 200
and 800 feet in height respectively. The
protestors contended that the backing up
of the water would drive out lumber, oil,
gas and other industries, interfere with
railways and force people to move in
sections of three counties, involving a
loss of millions of dollars. 1t was also
charged by George A Maxwell of the
flood commission that the project was a
speculative scheme and would interfere
with conservation programs for the Alle-
gheny valley.
Representatives Joseph A. Schofield of
Warren, Frank II, knight of Clarion and
w. j. Campbell of Forest appeared with
the protestants. Attorney T. F. Ritchey
of Tionesta and Hon. N. P. Wheeler of
Endeavor were also among the Forest
county representatives who strongly pro-
tested against the scheme.

The postmasters Of the United States

The postmasters OF the United States
began Monday, pursuant to instructions,
to count, weigh, classify and keep ac-
count of every piece Of mail going through
and coming into their respective Offices.
AS II takes much extra time to do all this
work, and the offices not being furnished
any additional clerical force, Postmaster
Jameson requests that all outgoing mail
be deposited at least 80 minutes before
mails depart, otherwise there may be de-
lay and mail may not be dispatched on
the next outgoing train. This condition
will last during the month of May only.
In its monthly oil report for April
the Derrick says that east of the Missis-
sippi river there is the spring note of in
crease in the oil fields. More wells were
completed in April than in March, the
new production is larger and there were
more dry holes. However, there are
fewer new rigs for the close of April than
at the close of March, but more wells
drilling and net increase in new work.
Among the old Pennsylvania fields the
pioneer Venango and Clarion division
shows the greatest increase in activity,
having an increase of 20 in wells COM
pleted and of q barrels in new produc-
ton. In all of the eastern fields there is
an increase of SO in wells finished, of
9,l29 barrels in new production and "a in
dry holes. The decrease in new rigs is
IA, the increase in drilling wells is 40 and
the net increase in new work is 26.

Events of Commencement Week.

The events of commencement week in
the Tionesta High School began Sunday
evening with the baccalaureate sermon
by DR.. W. III. Crawford, president of AL
legheny College, in the M. Il. church.
The speaker gave a scholarly discourse,
full of good advice, selecting as his
theme "The Life of Light" suggested by
the text found in Ephesisns 5:S, "Walk
as children of light"
Ofthe annual exhibition of school work
in the school building Monday afternoon
and evening, more than a passing men
ton should be given. The work was
handsomely displayed in all the rooms
and was much admired by large num-
ber of visitors who braved the inclement
weather to attend. The teachers and pu-
pills feel amply repaid for all the work
expended on the exhibit. In room No.
the display consisted of writing, num-
ber work, painting, sewing cards and
construction work, the last named being
a distinctively new feature. In No. 2
the exhibit was of writing, number work,
drawing, monochrome paintings and pen
and ink sketches, the last two being en-
trely new features. The display in No.
3 was along the usual lines of writing,
number work, painting, relief maps and
free hand drawing, the last two being es-
pecially attractive. In No. was found
arithmetic, free hand drawing and very
large display of the marked improvement
shown in writing under the Palmer
method of business writing, which was
adopted in our schools late in the term.
This system is the one in use In the New
York City schools. In the High School
the botany specimens, free hand drawing
and demonstrations in physics were es-
pecially attractive and interesting.
Following the exhibit the teachers held
reception for the board of education,
their wives and the senior class, at which
refreshments were served.
The commencement exercises take
place this evening at 1880 at the court
house, of which we published full pro-
gram last week.
The events of the week will close with
the alumni banquet in the Presbyterian
church dining room, Friday evening.
