CORPORATIONS HAVE MONOPOLY ON STATE'S WATER RiGHTS.—During the past week the Philadelphia North American published a series of articles showing how various corporations in the State have gobbled up practically all the water rights in the State worth having. The article in Monday's paper was devoted to the rights owned or controlled by the Pennsylvania railroad company, either in- corporated or unincorporated companies and in the list are the following in Cen- tre county: At Rising Spring station, a spring. At Oak Hall station, a mountain run. At Zerbe station, a mountain stream. At Curtin station, awell. At Port Matilda station, a spring. At Holsters Plug station, a mountain run, At Martha Furnace station, a well. At Scotia station, a well. At Snow Shoe Intersection, Wallace run. At Rhoads station, a spring. At Mount Pleasant station, Armigh run. At Sandy Ridge station, a spring. The fact of the matter is, the above are merely water tanks from which the com- pany secures the water for its locomo- tives. And if all the others mentioned by the North Americanare of this same class we are at a loss to understand its zealous efforts to manufacture a mole hillinto a mountain.
