Opposed Power Company rians.
Protests against the approval by the
State Water Supply commission of the
eighteen charters for "power companies"
to be embraced in a project to generate
electricity for Pittsburg and western
Pennsylvania through the erection of big
dams and power plants on the Clsrion
river and Tionesta creek, were heard by
the commission at Harrisburg last Fri
day. Representatives of business men
and resident or Forest, Clarion and War
ran counties, leislators and membeis of
of the Pittsburg Flood commission were
present.
The project, whlob is backed by Pitts
burg men, contemplates the erection of a
dam 300 feet high a mile and a half above
the mouth of Tionesta creek, backing the
water up Big Coon creek, tunnelling
through the bill and running the water
into the Clarion river, and on that stream
It is proposed to build two dams of 200
aud 300 feet in height respectively. The
protestors contended that the backing up
of the water would drive out lumber, oil,
gas and other industries, interfere with
railways and force people to move in
sections of three counties, Involving a
loss of millions of dollars. It was also
charged by George A. Maxwell of the
flood commission that the project was a
speculative scheme and would interfere
with conservation programs for the Alle
gheny valley.
Representatives Joseph A. Schofield of
Warren, Frank II. Knight of Clarion and
W. J. Campbell of Forest appeared with
the protestants. Attorney T. F. Ritchey
or Tionesta and Hon. N. P. Wheeler of

tested against the scheme.

From tbe Olean, N. Y. Evening Herald
of the 28th ult., we cull the followiugcon
cerning tbe deceased:
"Tbe death of William Egbert Wheeler

lage of Portvillo but to tbe entire com
munity. He was interested in so many
of tbe affairs in which the common people
are interested, and was also connected
with so many extensive business inter

help to causo an irreparable loss.
"Mr, Wheeler was a pronounced chris

bis death and for many years prior, Mr,
Wheeler was president of tbe Portville
school board. He was a generous con
tributor to the endowment fund of tbe
Portville Free Library, As to bis bene
factions It Is known that they were very
considerable, but he was always very
careful to avoid ostentation or publicity
of his charitable operations.
"For nearly thirty years Mr. Wbeeler
was manager of the Portville Tanning
company, which was formerly the lead
ing Industry of the village. This com
pany discontinued business in lH'M. Mr.
Wbeeler was well known not only in
Portville and Olean and vicinity, but
throughout tbe country as a very success
ful business man ol large wealth. He

dent of the board or trustees of Randolph
Ho:ne foi the Friendless, to which insti
tution be bad contributed largely.
"He was connected with E. G. Dnsen-
bury and John Dusenbury under the
firm name of Wheeler A Dusenbury,
which said firm has extensive lumber
and oil interests In Forest and Warren
countios in Pennsylvania. He also bad
extensive lumber interests Iu Northern
Michigan and in California and Oregon.
