Industries of Forest County.
To the Editor of the Derrick.

To the Editor of the Derrick:
Please allow word regarding timber,
oil, gas and farm lands in Forest county,
bordering on 1'ionesta creek and its trib-
utaries that would be destroyed and cut
OFT from market by the proposed dams of
the Pittsburg Water Commission: Col
lins, Brown, Kreitler Il Co., who own
about so, 900 acres of tim ber land in For
est county. They have four large saw
mills In operation, also large chemical
plant in process of construction. They
have enough native timber to work upon
with their present force at least 10 years,
and by that time there will be a second
growth on large portion of this land
that will keep them busy several years
more. Had forest fires been kept out,
nearly all of these lands would have
grown splendid crop of second growth
timber by this time. They are natural
timber lands and could be perpetusted as
such. On one tract now owned by this
company, containing about 1000 acres,
my father cut all the marketable pine,
removing the last of 1t in 1865. Another
party numbered off the same tract, re-
moving most of the large hemlock up 10
about the year 1879 Now there is stand
ing upon this same tract at least l5, ,O00, 900
feet OF splendid pine and hemlock timber.
This company has now arranged To keep
fol- est fires out. 1t is keeping men to
watch the timber, and also preparing to
reforest portion of t. These lands have
rich deposits of oil aud gas. The COM
pany is using its own gas, producing
gasoline plant 10 operation. A large per-
centage of the land has not yet been
drilled or tested for oil and gas. The
large chemical plant in process of con-
struction, under the super vision OF rank
X. Brown, is one Of the most expensive
plants in the State, costing approximately
$500, 900. II can be supplied with chemi-
cal wood from the company's own lands
for period of at least 25 or 80 years. II
has standard gauge railroad from Ne
braska to Sheffield, distance of about 80
miles, and is extending il to Tionesta, six
miles further; besides several miles OF
railroad used to haul the logs, bark, wood
etc., to the several plants. The company
owns its rolling stock and carrie, an ex-
tensive freight and passenger traffic. The
promoters of the Pittsburg Water Com
mission, in making up their list of esti-
mated values only take into account that
portion of this valuable territory that
would be submerged by their dams
while in fact the Tionesta valley is the
one and only outlet for this entire prop.
erty and also for the vast properties o
Wheeler & Dusenbery and others, which
we will consider later, Practically, g
large dam at or near the mouth of Tio.
nesta creek would mean the annihilation
of this entire valley with its rich timber
oil, gas, farms, railroads, etc. By the
way, there are better turnpike roads ex.
tending all over this county than in any
adjoining counties. 1t would be i'm.
possible to operate these railroads. They
could not climb the hills and successfully
handle the product of the county. With
your permission l will have more to say
again. ID. B. ToBEY.

Queer Character Who Was Invaluable
to New York Lawyers.
Lawyers of this city who handle will
cases requiring a search Of early rec
ords lament the retirement Of Back
number John" for he was the first and
searcher-in- -chief in digging up facts
from the archives.
"Backnumber John." despite his
name, never lost touch with the events
of the day. His speciality, though, was
the accumulation of back numbers of
newspapers, back numbers Of maga-
zines, back numbers Of religious tracts
back numbers Of comic supplements,
and back numbers Of almost anything
that ever was printed. He included in
his stock Of back number newspapers
publications from nearly every city OF
the country and from many foreign
cities.
Even IL "Backnumber John" did not
have the particular copy Of an old
newspaper needed by lawyer who was
Strengthening out tangled suit, he al
ways managed to get the desired pub
lication in the course Of a few days.
How he did 1t was trade secret for
which he made his customers pay well,
His system of payment was the
strangest feature Of, his novel business
He fixed the price he demanded by the
age Of the paper desired. "one penny

any paper in the world, in addition to
the original cost of the paper" was his
rule. il was a lucrative trade. A pa
per a year old, by this rule, was worth
1886 above the original price; a paper
two years old was worth $3.50, and a
paper ten years old brought $3.50.
And when it is borne in mind that very
often he supplied newspapers thirty,
fifty or even 100 years old, the profits
of the business are apparent.

Poor Old Joe.-Mr. Austen Cham
berlain, who has created some little
stir by his remarks on the useless
discussions" in parliament. tells an
amusing story of visit his father,
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, once paid to
the Zoo, says Pearson's Weekly.
The famous statesman paused be-
fore the hippopotamus and, having
beckoned to one Of the keepers to
whom he was quite we'll known, he
asked the brute's name. The man
blushed, but made no reply.
Come, come" said Mr.. Chamber
lain, what do you call the BEAST
You have a name for it, haven't your
yves, sir" stammered the man.
"Then what is it?" asked Mr.. Cham
berlain sharply
The poor man seemed to be laboring
under great emotion.
u don't like to say 1t, sir" he re-
piled.
why not?" rs - .
"You-you wouldn't like 1t, sir.
"Oh, never mind that" Mr.. Cham
berlain replied, his curiosity now thor
oughly aroused; tell me its name"
The man sighed hopelessly..
You really won't like 1t, Mr.. Cham :
berlain, sir. We've calls i'm Joel"

Tall Story Of Tall Corn.-The big
corn yield in Kansas last fall recalls
the story of big Kansas corn at the
Philadelphia centennial. Among the
Kansas agricultural exhibits at the
fair was some corn on the stalks grown
in the Neosho river bottoms. 1t was
twenty feet high ani the ears looked
as long as stove wood, says the Kan
sas City Journal
An old lady from Vermont gazed at
1t and declared that the stalks were
spliced. Then she took another look
and changed her mind. But said she,
'it didn't grow that big in one year. 1t
must have grown for two seasons"
The man in charge Of the Kansas
exhibit was somewhat Of a prevarica-
tor himself. Lady" said he, in great
solemnity, I'VE are almost ashamed to
exhibit this corn. This has been hot,
dry year in Kansas and we have not
been able to raise very large corn. But
we felt that 1t wouldn't do to have q
Kansas exhibit without corn. so we
brought this little stuff along. In a
really good year the corn grows SO
high in Kansas the eagles build their
nests in the tassels knowing full well
that they are out Of range OF the far
mers' guns"

ly, concentrated juice and lemon peel
packed with brine. Not much concen-
trated Juice is produced and the meth
cd OF evaporation is crude. 1t Is an
acid bitter syrup used by. manufactur-
ers of liquors. The salted lemon peel
Is used in the akers' and confectioners'
trades. The oil Of lemon is used for
fiavoring purposes, in the manufacture
of perfumes and in pharmaceutical
preparations. Citrate Of lime Is ex-
ported to the United States. England
and Germany, where the citric acid is
freed from the lime by the use Of sui
phuric acid and is then filtered through
bone black and crystallized.
In 1908 the cost of labor in the lemon
areas varied from forty to seventy
cents a day, averaging fifty cents; wo-
men got from thirty to forty cents q
day; boys from twenty to thirty cents.
But emigration following from the at
tractiveness OF rich farms in Tripoli
may be expected to further advance
wages, which have already been ad-
vanced somewhat by emigration to the
United States. These changes, togeth-
er with the duty of one and one half
cents a pound on lemons and seven
cents a pound on citric acid, will ulti-
growers of lemons from undue compe-
tition.
