Proposed State Park.

Assemblymen A. II. Mechling, of For
est county, has Introduced a bill in the
State Legislature for the purchase OF u
tract of land in Forest, Clarion aud JET
ferson counties, consisting of 1919 acres,
owned by the A. Cook Sons company,
and utilize the same for State park
The purchase price would be S62i, 900 and
Mr. Mechling would have a commission
"f five persons appointed by the Cover
nor for tive-year terms to supervise The
park News item.
The Oil city Derrick copies the above
item and the' proceeds to condemn the
project on the assumption that the price
IL too high, intimsting also that there is
nm ulterior motive back of the plan. AS
to the first contention there would seem
To be little ground for argument, since
the price stated il Just what the States
own expert timber estimsters have placed
upon it, and the property is understood
To he worth il in actual stumpage.
Whether il is or not can easily be as
certained, as It is an outdoor proposition,
open to closest inspection, where every
tree can be counted, and those who have
a fair acquaintance with the property ex-
press surprise that the price is not much
greater. AS to there being any "scheUne''
in the prt ject, that would be corectured
only in the minds of those who are ever
on the alert for something of the sort
themselves and who cannot understand
how IN vthinu ca n ha accn.. m pliSh that
has not some species of scheming back of
il.
There is scarcely any doubt but that
the Cook estate, with their thorough
equipment, could cut and manufacture
the timber at good profit over the price
stipulated, 80 that II they are willing to
part with this vast body OF timber, much
of which is in its virgin state and largely
Of white pine, it is difficult TO under
stand where they would have any utter
ior motive in selling 1t to the state, or
any one else who might want to preserve
il for all time to come.
We should hate to think that the Der
rick had been misled into attacking so
lsudsble proposition by any one from
this community who may have had an
itching to get the knife into Mr.. Mech.
ling, Forest county's popular and etfii.
clent Representative at Harrisburg, and
who had to 20 outside the county to work
off his bit of spleen. Forest county is
proud OF its Representative, knowing
that he is there to guard the interests of
the people under any and all circum-
stances and that he has the ability and
absolute honesty and courage to do so. 1t
is proud TO number among its citizenship
such men as the Cook boys, whose very
name has been synonym for honesty,
integrity and fair dealing for more than
half century, and against whom the
breath Of suspicion has never for q
moment rested. Our county would be
proud and feel honored to know that a
portion of its territory had been selected
by the State of Pennsylvania as a site
for what would be one of the most besuti-
full natural parks in the United States.

A Vicious Measure.

To the Editor of the Derrick:
notice the water snake is showing
itself again in Senate Bill No 2s5. This
grants the right of eminent domain, con-
fiscation of property. to water companies
and repeals all laws check ing them. 1t
is most vicious measure.
Ifenacted into law it would give the
water grabbers power to wipe out the
Allegheny valley Tor their own private
gain. and am confident they could not
control floods, as United States engineers
stated.
Hope you are looking after it, as there
is power back of these water grabbers
/ do not understand. You think you
have killed the snake and it pops its head
up somewhere else. N. P. WHEELER.

An Open Mind Upon The tuberculosis
Cure,

Almost rivaling the news of the dis
covery of the SoutL Pole has been the re-
port that in Germany cure for tubercul.
osis has peen disco ered The author OF
this cure, DR.. Friedman of Berlin, has
published o authoritative statement as to
its nature. 1t is generally believed to be
a serum resulting from experimentation
upon turtles. With this meagre informa.
tion it is impossible for any one to orm a
definite opinion about this remedy. 1t
may be the long sought cure or IL may be
a tremendous hoax. Just now the thing
to do is 10 preserve An open mind upon
this subject. Hope that The cure is real.
On the other hand remember that every
year since 1882 when Or. Koch discovered
the tubercle bacilli, the cure for con.
sumption has been announced. Even DR..
Koch himself thought that he had dis
covered it, only TO be disappointed.
The more than five hundred persons
advertising patent medicine cures for
consumption in this country are taking
advantage of DR.. Friedman's announce
ment to boom their own remedies. Have
nothing to do with them. The man who
sells you sugar and water medicine, or
some other mixture as cure for tuber-
culosis is taking advantage of your
credulity in the same way that a faker
fools crowd at a cauntrv fair.
Shun the patent medicine man but pre-
serve an open mind over against Dr.
Friedman's cure. In the meantime do
not stop practicing the rules of health
Live an open air, regular life and the
chances are that you won't have to take
advantage of any cure for tuberculosis. -

tary Pennsylvauia society for the pre-
voutiuu Of TuberCulosis.
