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.

No Good Reason Why the Allegheny
or Mononsrahela Doesot
BUN EVERY WHEEL LNPITTSBUfiG.
Alr-Tight Drams With Paddles Attached to
Dynamos Would Do It
WE HIED HOT BUBN A P0D5D OF COAL
IWJlITTEIf lOB THZ DIStATCH.3
As a rule, that which costs is best appre
ciated. 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

Still, so far as their knowledge of forces
went, their method was logical enough and
was entirely in keeping with their environ
ment. Bat now, leaving the dam out of
the case, simply throw a wheel with ampl
blades on the current, hold it there, let is
be 20, 30, 40 or 60 feet in length, as the
case may call for. 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

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.
