Another Dam Gone.

The Government is putting in dams
along the Ohio river for the purpose OF
improving the navigation of that stream,
and make 1t navigabe the year round.
These dams are built by experienced en-
gineers and upon the best engineering
lines. They are not high. Most OF them
are not above 25 feet in height, and the
amount OF water backed up by them is
small, compared with the proposed lake
to be made with a 300.f)ot dam at Tio-
nesta. One of these Government dams
was recently completed near Gsllipolis,
o., at a cost ofa million dollars. Wed.
nesday little flood from the Great Kama
wha came along and the dam was washed
away. Fortunately the great bed OF the
Ohio river was below 1t, and the flood did
very little damage, other than to the dam
itself. When dam so small as this one,
and constructed with the care that is given
to Government work, gives way before a
food in midsummer, the danger of per-
mitting dam 800 feet high to be built on
such stream as the Tionesta IL too obyi-
Gus to require com nent.-Oil City Der
rick, We are told that no further action
will be taken on the Tionesta dam pro-
ject until the mex legislature meets, pre-
su.nably to get further legislation on the
subject. If this be the case would 1t not
be well to add another plank to the Re-
publican State platform pledgiDg strenu-
Gus opposition to any scheme by which
great corporate interests may steal the
rights of the people away and drive them
from their homes by the building OF gil
gantic death-trap dams over their headsH
This scheme is on foot and the people had
better keep wide awake to the situation.

Mayburg's Big Chemical Plant.

What will be the largest chemical
manu- featuring plant of the kind in the
world will soon be in operation in May
burg, Forest county. The plant will be
that of the Tionests Valley Chemical Co.,
of Msyburg, the owners of which are
Frank Y. Kreitler, all of whom are well
known lumbermen and financiers of
Forest county.
The building of the plant will be made
entirely of concrete; brick and steel, and
when completed the buildings alone will
represent an investment of S350,0OO aud
will be the largest wood chemical pro-
ducts plant in the world for the making
of wood alcohol, acetate of lime, creosote,
charcoal and roofing compound.
The company owns and controls over
90, 900 acres of timber land and they now
have on hand enough material such as
waste from saw mills, second growth
cut timber and other saw mill refuse to
keep the plant in operation for at least
fifty years.
The foundation walls are in and build
ing operations will be rushed so that the
plant will be in operation by the first of
November. Between so and 90 men will
be employed and the pay roll will amount
to about s. 900 month, which will be a
great boon to Mayburg and other Forest
county towns.
The Struthers-W Wells company of War
rem was awarded the contract for the in-
stsllation OF the retorts and other equip
ment and they already have consider
able quantity Of the material on the
ground ready to be installed. This con-
, tract alone called for an outlay of over
$50, 200.
Frank K. Brown, one OF the three own
ers OF the plant and man who is well
known for his business ability will have
personal charge of the plant and will be
its general manager. Mr.. Brown has had
the building ofa chemical plant for the
purpose of utilizing the waste material
from timber tracts and saw mills iu mind
for many years and when the plant Is in
operation next November his dreams will
have been realized.

THIS is surely queer world. Only a
few years ago the clamor WAS for better
prices. Everybody complained that low
prices were running them. and the farm
or was specially aggrieved. Now high
prices are conceded to be the bane of ex-
istence. II we could only arrange it so
that everybody could sell at high prices
and buy at low prices perhaps it would
be all right -Punxy Spirit.

The Progressive Party" was born in
Chicago last week, and its nominees are
Theodore Roosevelt for president, and
Hiram T. johnson, governor of California,
for vice president Practically the same
men elected as delegates to the Republi-
can national convention which met in
Chicago in June, and who bolted that
convention, comprised large portion of
the convention that launched the new
party. The same methods were en-
ployed and the same program was adop-
ted for the placing of ticket in the field
as has been the case in all political parties
for years back. So there you are. The
platform declares in favor of the in
itiative, referendum, recall of judicial
decisions, and woman suffrage, and in
other respects differs little from the other
national platforms adopted this year.
There is less of the fiery ripping up OF
things than was looked for in the third
term party's pronunciamento.

A DISPATCH sent out from Pittsburg
Monday states that "a bill to place har-
ness racing under state supervision and
to legalize pool selling at the tracks will
be put into the next session of the legis-
lature. The plan is to make the state
highways direct beneficiary turning in
to the state treaeury a percentage of the
profits" That would be fine piece of
reform" legislation to place upon the
statute books Of Pennsylvania. Next
thing we know some association of re-
spectacle ~ gamblers will be proposing
legislation to throw open the doors TO all
sorts of vice and crime, making the state
partner in the profits to be derived
therefrom in order to make the law a pop
ular one. Strong men of unquestioned
moral courage will be needed in the next
legislature to stop the raid for vicious
laws which it is proposed to put through.

The great amount Of attention being
paid to the automobile export business
this year lends particular interest to the
think of the Hawaiian Islands as being a
great distance away. and yet the islands
and this country are not separated by
such a great distance. after ALL
American manufacturers have OF late
been finding very fertile market In
Honolulu and other cities In the islands.
In past years European cars have held
much of the attention OF the Hawaiian
buying public. but the pendulum is now
swinging the other way. No doubt the
standing Of the European cars, however.
has had much to do with the selection
of the American machines. and It Is
quite probable that the tremendous
strides made in Europe by the Silent
knight" type motor largely influenced
the selection Of the Stearns-Knight by
one of the largest automobile dealers In
Hawaii
Motoring in the islands 10 said to be
most delightful, for there are many
miles of good roads near sea level. and
many Of the best European cars are seen
on the boulevards daily. The natives
have taken a great aptitude to motoring.
and many Of the young men are proving
very proficient IS chauffeurs. The strides
which are being made by the automobiles
in Honolulu and the other cities are
very pronounced. and 1t is safe to assume
that inside of the next nve years the
high-grade American oars will practi-
selves.
