The Dam Proposition.

The people of Tionesta along the creek
valley and vicinity have enjoyed short

Paul, j. P. Fife and H. W. Douglass to APP
propriate the waters of Tionesta creek and
destroy the business of the whole valley.
Now we are face to face with another prop.

both pro and con relative to the present
scheme. These gentlemen seem to be per-

shipped by way of T. V. II. Il. and Hickory
Valley Il, Il, via Ross Run TO the Wheeler
mill at Endeavor. The dam would prevent
this This Hickory Valley Il. X. connects
with the p. K. Il. at West Hickory on
Allegheny river. The dam on the river
would shut out this connection, leaving the
large lumber plant at Eudeavor out in the
cold with no means Of getting its products
to market either by rail or water. There
is good state highway the entire length
of the creek, besides some seven or eight
cross roads leading into It below Kel-
lettvile. These would be destroyed and
no place for their reconstruction. The town.

to parts and virtually have to be abandon

and three-fourths of the people of the town.
ship depend upon the business in the val
ley for living. The general effect on the
business of the county, its finances and
taxations would be so depressing that
eventually the county as such would be
abandoned and the territory added TO ad-
jacent counties. These dams would be such
a menace TO the people in the valleys that
they would live in constant fear of being
drowned out like the people of Johustown,
Austin aud other places. Some engineers
say such dams can be made to be perfectly
safe from breaking ont, others say they
conDot. But whether they can or cannot
1t is impossible TO make the people believe
they will be safe. The formation of the
hllsides here being shale, loose sand stone
and full of crevices, IL will be impossible to
get solid rock TO tie the ends of dams to.
The water will percolate around and final
ly destroy the dam. 1t is quite a different
here than in the mountains of
the west where their is granite rock to tie
to. This menace is not confined to the peo.
pie in the vicinity of the dams but to ali in
the Allegheny valley to Pittsburg. The
boat and barge industries aud running of
lumber on the Allegheny river and it trib-
utaries above Rookmere will have to stop,
no possible way to get them to market il
would be destroyed. AS there is to be no
locks or means of getting boats or lumber
over the dams. The policy of the U. $.
Government is eventually to slack water
the Allegheny river and make it navigable
II the proposed dams are built the river
could never be made navigable Such
scheme is directly opposed to the policy of
the U 5. government L. +. Ritchey.

ABOUT CHINESE PRINTERS.

The difficulties of making up form
of Chinese type, although considera-
Bile, are not relatively so great as one
might imagine, for while Kang Hsi's
dictionary, the standard and most
comprehensive work of its kind In the
language, contains some 40,s90 char
acters, it has been found that for all
pactical purposes font need con-
tain only about 1000. OF course, with
a font of this size the Chinese print
er, in the course of setting up book
will frequently find that he lacks
dozen or SO unusual characters, a diff
ficulty which he readily meets by hav-
ing these missing symbols hand-cut on
blank type by skilled engravers, who,
thanks to the old wood-block system.
are to be found in practically every
town in China.-Newark News.

THE CHEAPEST NECESSITY.

In regard to the cost of living it is
but fair to review the subject through
out its whole range. One of the in
dispensable items of expenditure is
lower in price than formerly. A daily
newspaper as an essential of life, So
cially, in public affairs, and in busi-
ness. Its cost has been cut down to
the smallest coin, the irreducible min
imum. Newspaper publishers in la
ter years have also assumed the pay
ment of postage amounting in some
cases to $4,000 or more year, the
Globe goes on to say. At the same
time the quality of the news service
has been bettered, for leading journals
introduce improvements as soon as
seen to be desirable. Newspapers are
thoroughly competitive and alert in
individual enterprise. If penny went
as far otherwise in the primary ex-
penses of living as in the purchase of
a good newspaper there would be gen
eral congratulations on the public
gain.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

PIGEONS AS PHOTOGRAPHERS.

An unusual amount Of interest has
been aroused by an exhibition of
military carrier pigeons in Berlin.
The birds have been divided into class.
es, based on their different capacity
for long distance flights. The first
class includes birds that can cover
a distance of 800 miles in a single
flight, the second class distance OF
2l0 miles, the third 1870, the fourth
100 and the fifth of 60 miles only. A
special class comprises birds whose
travelling capacity has not yet been
decided. The wonderful manner in
which these birds can be used In mill
tary operations has astonished spec
tators, both in the obtaining Of in
formation and for the purpose Of taxi
ing photographs. By means of
small apparatus fastened round the
neck of the pigeon it is possible to
take photograph of given spot at
u given time. Being able to calcu
late exactly the time that it takes a
pigeon to reach place. the camera
which 1t carries is set in such way
that a. shutter opens and cl,sei again
and the photograph is taken ut the
exact moment that is desired, Only
highly trained birds can be used for
this pigeon post, and it is not sur
prising that the price that is realized
for them is as high as s100 each.

five years old and still able to pitch
ball up to the big league standard is
the remarkable record Of "Cy" Young,
who is training in the south with the
Boston Nationals in preparation for
his twenty-second season as pro-

the town Of Gilmore, o., forty-five
years ago today. After a season or
two with clubs in cities near his home
he went TO Cleveland, where he play
ed from 1890 to 1899. After leaving
Cleveland he was with st. Louis two
years, and went to Boston in 1900,
when the American league placed a
club in that city. He helped Boston
to win the American league and the
worlds championships and remained
there until 1909, when he was dis
posed Of to the Cleveland club. In
the Inter part Of last season Young
returned to Boston TO play with the
National league club in that city and

alleged that Hyde, himself and VIII


liam ]. Cummins, convicted on q
charge of embezzling $4,000 from
the Carnegie Trust company, met in
Hyde's office in 1910, while Hyde was
city chamberlain. Here they confer
red with Joseph D. Reichman, former
president of the Carnegie Trust COM
pany, convicted later of making a
false report to the state banking ex-
aminers, and, according to Robin,
Hyde told him that if he would come
through with a loan to the then tot
tering Carnegie Trust company, he,
Hyde, would see that the municipal
deposits were increased in Robins
Northern bank. II Robin had refused.
according to the story, he was threat
ened with having the city money then
in his bank withdrawn. The bank
was in no condition to stand such
Withdrawals, and he had to acccde to
Hyde's demands, Robin AYERS.
Sentences in the cases Of both Rob-
in and Cummins have been held up,
and it is rumored that they are likely
to turn states evidence against Hyde,
hoping in this way to escape serving
terms in prison. 1t is understood that

sided over the trials of Cummins and
