Dams in Pennsylvania are not pop
ular institutions. Their record is deadly
and appalling. Two such disasters as
that of Johnstown and Austin cast a
damper over any great exhibit of en
thusiasm. Terrible as these things were,
It is no exaggeration to say that a long
train of trouble, not so spectacular, but
equally deadly, would come with tbo
damming of our streams. Men with
careful, uneiolted minds, who are capa
ble ol seeing the end from the beginning,
condemn the attempt to conserve the
waters of Tionesta creek. It seems to be
a mlsomer to call this conservation. For
that good word, often misused, should
mean the taking care of tbe interests of
the greatest number. It is Inconceivable
that tbe legislature and the governor of
this state should make so fatal a mistake
as to grant powers that carry within
themselves so much to oondf mn and des
troy. Conceive for a moment what the
consequences might be if a dam 300 feet
high existed at Tionesla and gave way.

work at Endeavor was the result of a
small Sabbath School started aud carried
on at upper Endeavor by Mr. and Mrs.

PROMPT ACTI0X REQUIRED.
Menace of Proposed Dam Scheme So
Great as to Call for the Best
Efforts to Kill II.
Monday's Derrick again reminds tlio
people of tbe awful danger that will hang
over them should tbe scheme to dam Tio
nesta creek and the Clarion river receive
the sanction of tbe Governor and State
Water Commission, Tbe s'ebetoe is so
gigantic In Its proportions and so fright
lul in its aspect that many people look
upon Has absurd and refuse to believe
that a charter granting such frightful
privileges to any corporation would be
seriously considered by the authorities at
Harrisburg. It does seem so, but there
Is the cold proposition of tbe applicants,
and unless it Is met by the most strenu
ous opposition there Is danger that tbe
granting powers may feel justified in giv
ing their assent to the desperate scheme.
The Derrick's article follows:
"News from Harrisburg relative to tha
application of some Pittsburg people for a
charter to coutrol the waters of Tionesta
creek and Clarion river s to the effect
that tbe hearing will be postponed until
February 6, and that an opportunity will
be given for all Interested lo be heard,
Protests signed by about 3,000 citizens
bave already been sent in, it is reported,
and more are being forwarded. Tbe
Pittsburg Flood Commission is also
among those wbo are opposed to the lo
cating of such a menace to the safety of
those living in the valley of the Alle
gheny, on twoof its important tributaries.
Advantage should be taken of the post
ponement of the bearing for more activo
work In strengthening the position of
those opposing the grant of the charter,
and placing before fhe State odlcials un
mistakable proof of the sentimeut in this
section. The scheme is so great tbat its
very size and audacity make for Its
strength, because many people whose
property, if not their lives, would he en
dangered by the proposed work, are not
convinced that tbe proposition is a sin
cere one. It looks too absurd to many to
be considered seriously. The situation,
however, Is clear. These people have
made an application for the charter, aud
whatever may be behind it, the granting
of the application would place the control
of these two great streams, with all their
water powers and privileges in the bands
of a corporation, with power under State
laws to erect dams, divert the flow of
water from one stream to another, turn
fertile vallies Into lakes, and destroy the
large Industries now occupying them.
One person said he could see iu the lake
which would be formed tn the Tiouesta
Valley, a good fishing piace, forgetting
that the company would control even the
fishing privilege, and signs of "no tres
passiug" would exclude private indi
viduals from a large part ol Forest aud
Clarion counties.
"A strong effort Is needed at this ti ne,
and tbis week, to kill tbis scheme for all
time. Send in your protests to Governor
Tener, and make It plain that the people
of tbis section are awake to tbe dangers
which are hidden in the water company's
application."
