There ia a strong suspicion that tbis Is another attempt to gobble up the water rlghta on Tionesta creek, and to accom plish, by another way, what proved a failure last year through tbe strenuous opposition of the people of Clarion, -Elk, Forest, Venango, Jefferaon and Warren counties-Oil City Blizzard.

During the past two weeka and especially within the last ten daya a constant string of teams may be seen passing and repassing through our streets loaded with ties, lumber and other wood materials to be loaded on cars at this sta tion. When one reflects that twenty or more years ago this sort of hauling was supposed to be at an end In this vicinity, It Is quite wonderful, we say, where the material all comes from. Theflnealeigti Ing, the best we've bad In years, Is a boon to tbe operators, affording them the easiest and cheapest transportation possi ble, and the heavy lae on the river and creek, making perfect Ice bridges, brings tbe railroad transportation near to band, as it were.
