turnout at the primaries usually means a
the nomination of a satisfactory ticket
nd a better party feeling, ao every mem
ber should make it point to be out and
express bis choice of candidates by his
ballot.
Tub assessed valuation of personal
property In the State will run to more
than 1200,000,000 for the fiscal year ending
November 30 next, according to a tabula
tion at the Auditor General's Department
of figures so far returned. This Is an in
crease of more than $67,000,000 over last
year, or something more than an average
increase of 1 1,000,000 tor each county of
the State.
In the electiou to eliminate the prohibi
tion amendment from the Maine consti
tution the wets now claim a majority in
the state of 2(1. If this proves correct the
prohibition clause which has been a feature
in the states constitution for more than
thirty years, la voted out. It is just about
that many years also since the Democrats
had control of the state two fauts which
can hardly be classed as merely inciden
tal. In an earnest effort to increase the
number of game fish In Pennsylvania
streams, Nathan R. Buller, the new Com
missioner of Fisheries, will not plant any
trout or bass less than yearlings. This la
a policy that anglers have been long
clamoring for. There was complaint that
the planting of many millions ot fry re
sulted In no lucrease in the number of
catchable fish In the streams as the baby
fish were too weak to survive a battle for
existence in strong waters against innu
merable natural enemies. There will not
be any diversified work at the hatcheries,
each of which la to be devoted to some
special variety ol fish with an aim toward
the highest efficiency, according to Mr.
Ruller's plans.
CONGRESSMAN SPEER LENDS HAND
Writes a Strong- Protest Against
Water Rights Monopoly.
Hon, P.M. Speer of Oil City, our able
Congressman, baa taken up the fight for
the people against the granting of charters
nd turning over the water rights of Tio
nesta creek and Clarion river toamonop
aly and baa written powerful and moat
comprehensive protest against such grant
on the part of tbeState Water Commission
at Harrisburg, which we publish in full
Congressman Speer assures his people
thstheis with them tn tbia fight to
finish, and holds himself lu readiness to
oppose this monopolistic grab at every
turn. Following is hla letter:
Oil City, Pa., Skit. 14, 1911
To the Water Supply Commission of
Pennsylvania.
Gkntlkmkn: Aaaoltlzen of Western
Pennsylvania, in the territory to be af
fected thereby, I desire earnestly to pro
test against the approval by your Com
mission of the application now peuding
for cbartera to dam, alore and use for
power and other purposes the waters of
Tionesta oreek aud Clarion river.
The effect ol these cbartera, if their pur
pose can be carried out, la to graut to the
incorporators an absolute mouopoly of
the watera ot these two streams for prac
lically all purposes; and if the project is
feasible, the franchise in the end would
be worth millions oi dollars to its owners;
this would be taking from the people the
benefits which they are entitled to from
these natural resources, aud placing them
in the hands of the owners of these char
ters.
The Commission, as I understand it,
was created In pursuance of a widespread
demand, recently developed, that the
natural resources of the country should
be conserved for the publio, aud not per
mitted to be monopolized for the beuelit
of a few individuals, and that the watera
of our state especially abould be so con
served and kept iincontaminated so aa to
beauitable for publio use. In further
ance of this advanced governmental idea,
at the same session of the legislature
which created your Commission, an act
was passed taking away from water com
panies the right of eminent domain "as
respects the appropriation of the streams,
rivers, or watera of this Commonwealth,
or any of them and the land governed
thereby." Your Commission also must
approve under the legislation creating it
and subsequent legislation enlarging its
powers, of ail cbartera which in any way
apply to or effect the waters of the Com
monwealth. This power no doubt was
given for the very purpose of enabling
your Commission to aid in tbia work of
conserving our natural resources.
Water is as much a public necessity as
air -sod to grant to a few individuila the
monopoly of the water of these two im
portant streams, especially without any
publio benefit from said grant, would be
an outrage upon the communities which
are entitled to the use and benefit of
these watera.
It would seem sufficiently clear that
the Intention of the legislature of 1905 was
to prevent aoy aunb a monopoly by tak
ing away the right of eminent domain aa
already stated, and if it is possible uuder
the law lor those who may obtain these
charters applied for to monopolize the
atreama under them, it will be on account
of some defect in the wording of the law
rather than in the intent of those makiug
it.
Personally I am of the opinion that no
charters can be legally granted to enable
the Incorporators to accomplish what
they desire, but if it were believed they
could do so then the capitalization is en
tirely inadequate, and to grantchartera ol
this character ia a violation of the rule
which has been adopted in this Common
wealth of requiring those applying for a
charter to show a capitalization fairly
sufficient for the purposes lor which the
incorporation ia msde. If these charters
when granted are valid and if the project
ia feasible it gives to these Incorporators
a most valuable franchise which they
have thus acquired for practically noth
ing and which they can exploit to their
own financial advantage by turning these
valuable franchises over tn persona who
may have and are willing to furnish the
money to do the work. The Common
weslth should not grant valuable fran
chises for that purpose and therefore in
all cases of this character the capitaliza
tion should be ample for the purposes of
charters. I believe it would be the clear
duty of the Commission to take into con
sideration all phases of the question and
especially the rigbta of the citizens in the
localities of these streams and entitled to
advantages thereof; and since our legisla
tion appears to have been intended to pre
vent such a monopolization of our
streams, it should not be permitted by
the Commission even it by some legal
technicality the right to grant such char
ters may exist. Such grant Is clearly
antagonistic to the intent if not the word
ing of our statutes and, aa I believe, a
violation of the common law rigbta of the
citizens. Respectfully yours,
P. M. Spekr.

A Tionesta Woman Honored.
One of tbe most pleasant features of the
twenty-fifth annual convention of the W.
C. T, U. of Forest county, held at En
deavor, Sept., 13 and 14, was the making
of Mrs. Martha Derlckson, of Tionesta,
State Life member. Tbia requires the
payment of $25 Into tbe state treasury,
and the Forest County Union did this as
a alight token of appreciation for tbe good
work she has done in this cause since its
organization aa a oounty twenty-five
years ago.
Tionesta local union was organized by
Maor Hilton In 1860. Mrs. Derlckson be
came one of its charter members, later
organizing aeveral local unions, serving
as oounty president for nine years, and
always working fearlessly regardless of
tbe saorifice required. In those early
days, before publio sentiment bad beoome
educated, it meant sacrifice of not only
time and money, but even friends, and
tboee who labored in tbe work of tbe
Womau'a Christian Temperance Union
often auffered persecution and Injustice.
Time haa wrought wondrous changes,
and today the organization which baa re
cently honored this true and tried mem
ber ia recognized aa one of tbe most vital
and potent forces for the promotion ol tbe
publio good in this broad land of ours.
In a very appropriate presentation
speech, Mrs, N. P. Wheeler voiced tbe
sentiment of the county, saying it waa
only fitting that we so honor this beloved
and faithful worker.
Mrs, Derlckson was deeply moved, and
in thanking the union for the honor con
ferred upon ber, said nothing could give
ber greater pleasure than being for life a
member of the organization ao dear to her.

Tbe heavy rain Thursday night and
Friday morning raised tbe water iu tbe
creek almost back full, tbe rise being
very welcome, as the creek bad become
so low that tbe stench was very offensive,
When coming borne at night the cows
bave a habit of coining down tbe railroad
track until just above tbe island. Those
which belong on the other side of the
creek wade across. The condition of the
creek all summer made It possible for
them to cross without any inoonvenlence.
But when tbey reached the place to turn
into the creek Friday evening they found
a different proposition. Some of them
shook their heads and went around by
the bridge. Others waded in for a few
feet and backed out. But one cow owned
by John Peterson boldly plunged into
the water and started to swim across.
Tbe current was so strong that it looked
for some time as though she would be
carried away but she boldly struggled on
until she made It across the creek. The
current had carried her so far down that
the bank was so high she oould not make
a landing there. After hesitating a few
seconds she plunged In again and floated
with the current down stream until she
came to a good place to land below the
bridge, where she again made for the
bank and walked out very tired but
Victorious,
