AUQUIPPA ON THE P. & L. E. R. R. Plan i FIRST PUBLIC SALE OF LOTS AT ALIQUIPPA Tate Place Ttaflay , AjriLK The Interest manifested by people generally who have savings to invest in a town so solidly started as ALIQUIPPA, and by those who are trying to make an investment, expecting to realize by the sale of their purchase on an increased value, which the low prices set by the company have made doubly sure, is a guarantee that the first sale will be wonderfully successful. For the past three weeks the office of the Aliquippa Steel Co., Room 30, Westinghouse Building, has had a steady flow of people, who call to see the plans and assure themselves that the new town is a straight deal, and not a land speculation, the only object of the owners being to dispose of their property at a big profit, and let the purchasers make the town at Aliquippa. The three big factories, and others asking for factory sites, intend to stay and build the town. Thousands of dollars are and will be, invested in them, assuring work to a large population and continued prosperity. All the improvements have been made at the expense of the companies, for which the lot purchasers will not be held re sponsible, although receiving full benefit. They have their railroad switches in, their works up, gas wells drilled, boardwalks down and other permanent improvements made. No lots will be sold until April 14, although over one-fifth of the lots have been picked out already, many of whom offered to build immediately if given a deed, and will be allotted to those selecting them only on condition that they be at the sale to secure them. It is not the intention to sell the cream lots in the plan before the sale. All will have equal chances. Attend the sale if possible. In the meantime see the plans, and if not able to be at the sale, get a friend to secure a lot for you, and make money by so doing. SALES EVERY SATURDAY AFTER APRIL 14. ALIQUIPPA ON THE P. & L. E. R.

We estimate a thing largely from the struggle that is involved in obtaining it. No sooner does a new thing arrest our at tention, than we project an interrogation as to its cost. It oiten happens that the superior is rejected ana the inferior ac cepted, because the former would come to our hands without expense, while the latter would not. This is a childish trait to be sure, a trait that years of wisdom will rec tify, but such years are sometimes tardy in coming sometimes do not come at alL and thus it is that, Though with time, we grow ud tall. Traits don't change much after all. These remarks may serve as a preliminary to some observations on lost hydraulic force, on some of the unutilized force which it seems we have not yet learned to appre ciate, and only because either there is no cost in generating it, or because of that diffidence that always hesitates at the threshold of a new idea. It generally re quires large expenditure in the field of mental dynamics to drive methods from their old accustomed rats, as the habitual kink is ever inviting a return. Power of the Allegheny Elver. There is a power, a force in the currents of rivers that, once harnessed, would repre sent an enormous commercial value. Let us consider any river, the Allegheny, the Honongahela, the Beaver, the Ohio, any river for that matter, when at a fair stage of water, and calculate its force at some given point. This may run from hundreds to many thousands of horse power, and there are hundreds and even many hundreds of such points where there is the same force, and a simple matter of multiplication dis closes an aggregate power of most amazing' magnitude. Now, is there not some practical, some efficient and economic way of getting at least a fair percentage, if not all of this force? Of course, the first thing to respond to this query is the old primitive,-clumsy and vexatious dam, where, in a perpetual con test with natural forces, oar well-meaning but not overly mechanical forefathers gen erally got worsteH, as their dam structure was sometimes daring high water called on to resist hundreds of times the amount of force that their mechanical requirements CHOICE PBOFEKT1ES.

It would turn with s force proportioned to the velocity of ths current and the amount of surface against which the current would exert itsel There) might be gangs or strings of such wheels, as the water in its flow, having turned th first wheel, would in no way be incapaci taieu irom turning a succession ol wneeis. Drums Afloat on the Water. These wheels may be water-tight drum and thus be rendered buoyant, with attach ment similar to a common fiejd roller, or they may be erected on flats, bat in any case must be securely anchored in position. Their force can readily be communicated to the shore in a variety of ways, where their separate forces, may be combined to run a single large dyamo, or as many smaller dynamos, all concentrating their currents to be carried over wires to such point as needed. It would be only a simple matter to pro duce specially adapted wheels for this pur pose, the trouble being rather in selecting from the many forms that suggest them selves. It is not maintained that any of the methods here suggested may not be im proved on, the purpose being not so much to advocate any particular plan as to call attention to the paramount fact that a great field lies almost entirely uninvaded, so far as utility is concerned, along the lines of more modern conceptions of hydro-dynamics and electro conversion. Yes, there will be kicking, to which tha propulsion executed by a Texas steer would cut but a sorry figure, foranewideato your average human has much the same effect as has a red bandana on a male of the Spanish bovine species. Anyone that has seen a ferry boat operated from a cable and trolley wheel, with the vessel held slanting to tha current, will see that the same current might have propelled a fleet of boats just as readily as the one. Nor would it bs necessary to first carry the power to the shore with belts or shatting. More Power Than Pittsburg Uses. The dynamo might be placed on a float right alongside and the electric current bs cabled direct from the wheels with over head wires out of the way of vessels on nav igable rivers. The annual expenditure of force in river currents, 20" miles above and 20 miles below Pittsburg, exceeds in horse power all the force gen erated by steam in Allegheny county. Here is a most inviting field awaiting the invasion of the intelligent engineer; here is an inexhaustible source and quantity of power, a harvest over-ripe; do we not know enough to thrust our sickles into the field and reap? Here is a power whose generator Is ths sun, and for the little that harnessing need cost, for the cheapness with which it is afforded, we could well afford to lie over during the ice period, although that would be easily avoidable. The great fact to be impressed is that here is a vast natural force requiring neither mining, blasting, lifting nor hauling the clean thing, without the usual tax encum brances which the handling and transporta tion of all avoirdupois in volves and sines we now know something of the inter-convertibility of force, since we can trans form it to other forms of energy that are reauuy ana economically transmission, let ns agitate the matter, let us discuss it, let us exchange thought on the subject, and let us act. The Ohio river at Cincinnati repre sents the drainage of 70,000 square miles, on which is delivered annually about 292, 723,200,000 tons of precipitation, a very large percentage of which force is gathered together, concentrated and represented in minor streams and rivers, and nearly all 03tl It Ially Xooks Absurd. What do we do? "We go down into tha bowels of the earth at vast expense and risk of human life and mine coal, we build towns and cities on territory belonging to water ways, that we may have water in abund ance and take the chances of frequent dam aging inundations; there we erect furnaces and proceed to burn the coal to cook water in cylindrical iron kettles known as boilers, and with the steam thus generated, we do our manufacturing. We are all familiar with the old ditty that represents "Yankee Doodle" as having been unable to see the town on account of so many houses and we are at that identical stage with reference to force. We cannot see force because of the amazing quantity that seems to bar all vision. We are doing even worse than they who paid $1 25 per bushel for coal to pump oil wells, when each well had natural gas enough to ran half a dozen wells. We squat down on tha margins of rivers so as to have the water handy with which to cook force 'with coal, while in every hour more force is going past than we can make in a week, and force too that is nearly as cheap as the air we breathe. How like everlasting boobies we shall ap pear to our successors, without expensive round-abont methods of cookery along streams, while the streams seem to say, "Blockheads! Why don't you hitch onto us direct? Don't you see that we are just wasting the very thing you are after, spoil ing with it? Do you think you can com pete with Old Sol, the god of day? Why, all the furnaces on the earth to his, are not so much as a friction match to a volcano! You make us tired gazing at your ignor ance." A Solution of the Smoke Problem. , But while It is true that this force could not be made available in some industries, especially such as involve chemical action wrought by intense heat, yet those that are based on fashioning merely, on mechanical action chiefly, would all fail within the lines indicated. The earth and the heavens would to a much lesser degree be polluted with soot imperfect combustion and la many indirect ways there would be accru ing benefits. 9Iay Some Time Store the Energy. "But," says an objector, "these rivers all have their low stages, when their force is at a minimum what then?" Well, the fact is, they have then about all and probably more force than we need, and the harvest- ing of this force can go on perpetually, and by the time the new order is fairly under way, necessity will stimulate improvement in storage' of force, so that, when the hourly gathering is not so mnch as wa need, tha force in stock can be drawn on. The unvarnished truth of the matter is we are laying ourselves open to reproach in the scientific future, whose dawn is alreadr gilding the intellectual heavens. We shall be referred to as having occupied about tha same plane, and as having had about tha same conception in mechanics, hydro dynamics, conservation and correlative of force, as the old Puritan witch burners and hangers had on personal liberty and com mon sense. The mere matters of detail' need never perplex, these are always easily and readily managed. There is just about as much 'scientific need to dam a stream to get power as there wonld be to dam the air currents to get forca to turn the wheel of a wind pump. If wo had these river channels to dig and had to supply their waters artificially, we would consider them as something wonderful in their capacity for furnishing force, just as We are ten times more willing to dig a canal and boast about its capacity for tonnaga than we are willing to take up a ready-mad a i natural channel and improve it with locks. One of the saddest features of the situa tion is that the mechanical saviors are not only frequently obliged to wear a crown of thorns, but must often lie down on a bed of cactus and in the end be crucified between the two thieves, ignorance and larceny.
