Mr. Speer on Parcels Tost. In bia speech favoring an establishment of the parcels post, made on the floor of the House of Representatives last Thurs day, Uon. Peter M. Speer referred to the strange anomaly in the rural service that bas transportation lines between theclties and the country districts, and yet will not permit the carriers to carry articles. Mr. Speer said: "While the rural carrier comes to the farmer's door with the daily mail, and while the farmer may want some little article of merchandise brought to bim, which be may need, yet that rural carrier is not permitted to bring it. He goes on with bia wagon empty. The farmers themselves have built, as we all know, what we call farmers' telephone lines, so that tbey are now not only in communi cation with each other iu that quick way, but also with the towns and with the stores at which they deal. Tbey can phone to their store for anything they may need, but how ia it to be brought to tbetn? The country storekeepers in the email towns can not afford to send those articles out. The fanner, If he needs the article, will bave to quit his work and spend half a day in going for it. If be needs a plowpoint, It he finds that some body is coming to visit him to-morrow and he wants a few pounds of lea, there is no way that it can be brought to bim, and yet this rural carrier is going to pass the door and could easily bring whatever article Is needed and deposit it there, If permitted to do so by our laws. "When this rural service was begun the carrier waa permitted to bring these little articles, but it is not permitted now. That Is a part of the rural service which would be beneficial to thecountry people, and in a like way a similar service to that would be beneficial, I believe, over the entire country. Why ia it we can not bave it? "It is a strange thing that we should boast that we are the most civilized, the most advanced of all nations, and that we bave the freest government ol any in the world, and yet bave not this parcels-post system, while every ether civilized na tion in the world has it, and many of those that can not claim to be more than half civilized. Tbey bave it even China, and it is successful there. Why Ib it we can not bave it here? The people are de manding it, the Post Office Department is in favor of it, and bave been advocating it for years, and yet it is impossible to get this legislation through." In these remarks Mr. Speer voiced the wonder of many people throughout the country, who cannot understand why with expensive facilities for transporting articles, ibey are not utilized. Mr. Speer then referred to the opposition ol the ex press companies to tlie system, and the argument that the parcel-post would hurt local merchants. He said he bad no sympathy with any one who is not will ing to buy bis goods at home, and be lioved that Ihe parcels-post "will he of groat benefit to the local merchants. I think it will help them to hold the trade of their communities, because their pat rons who deal with them can call tbera up on the phone and have articles sent out, and in that way, by being able to convenience their customers, it will en able them to hold their trade. And, more than that, by having the general parcel post system tbey can easily supply what their patrons need. Tbey can send and get it tor you, and in that way tbey can hold your trade anil prevent your going to the larger towns to do your business. Now, 'bin is not entirely theory. It is something that baa been demonstrated, as I untterctand, in piactiue where the parcels post bas been In use," Clarion Water Charters Granted. In a dispatch from Harrlshurg under date of 24th Inst, is given the following facta concerning the charter grantson the the Clarion river. We are afraid the correspondent Is too optimistic as to the death of the applications for similar rights on Tionesta creek, and that our people should not be lulled to sleep by these "quieting" stories, but should keep a sharp eye on what's transpiring at the State capitol: When the State Water Supply Com mission decided to grant charters to the cam pan lea applying for Incorporation to establish dama along the Clarion river for the purpose of furnishing water for power and other purposes, it stipulated that the applicanta should comply with certain , provisions devised for the pro tection of the people residing or owning property alcng the stream. At the same time tbe commission held up the applica tions lor charters to companies that pur pose damming Tione-ta creek and divert ing ita watera into tbe Clarion by tunnel. It is probable that the people along tbe Tionesta, who made such vignroua pro test, will never bear of the applications again, as the tendency in tbe commission was to postpone action from time to time, and let tbe applications die a natural death. At tbe meeting of theconimiialon yesterday tie Tionesta charters were not taken up or considered in any way. The commission, however, adopted a set oi restrictions for tbe Clsrion river companies wbicb the latter must accept or they will not be chartered. These pro visions are the result of much investiga tion on tbe part of tbe commission, and are as follows: "Provisions to be attached to tbe ap proval of the charter applications of tbe Clarion river water power project. "Approved tbe day of , A. D. 1912, upon the following conditions: "That tbe company hereinabove named shall not construct, erect, or build any dam, wall, wing-wall, wharf, pier, em bankment, abutment, projection, or other obstruction, in or along any river or stream, nor in any manner change or diminish tbe course, current or cross sec tion of any river or stream uiilesssnd un til Ihe company hereinabove named shall bave submitted to the Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania complete maps, plans, profiles and specifications and aticb other information and data as the said Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania may deem necessary re lating to any proposed dam, wall, wing wall, wharf, pier, embankment, allot ment, projection, or other obstruction, and a majority of tbe members of the Water Supply Commission of Pennsyl vania shall bave approved the same: "That within 12 months after the date of the issuance of letters patent there shall be presented to tbe Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania the follow ing data, determined by actual physical inspection, test and survey: "An accurate map ol tbe area Hooded by eacb dam, with contours sufficient to calculate the quantity of water lmponded at various depths, also revised data con cerning rainfall, runoff, availablestorage, and tbe effect upon tbem by drought or freshet conditions. Also the extent to which tbe reservoirs formed can; be used to ameliorate floods in the Clarion and Allegheny rivers. "Design of eacb dam with spillways, drains, and other appurtenances, show ing ita proportions, with stress diagrams, demonstrating the stability and adapt ability to the site selected. "Definite Information obtained by suitable Investigation concerning the character of foundation upon wbicb the dam will rest, and of tbe geological struc ture of the side slopes of tbe valley. "Method proposed for utilizing the water power, In sufficient detail to advise tbe Water Supply Commission of Penn sylvania of the location and character of power station, with ita equipment, and of tbe distribution of the power developed. "Tbe data as to aide slopes, foundation, proportions of dam, spillway, power sta tion, and other appurtenances, to be ac companied by reports from at leant two engineers of recognized standing, and familiar with similar structures as to tbelr stability, efficiency, and adapta bility for tbe purpose and location Indi cated. VTbat the requirements of the corps of engineers, United Slates army, in charge of the Allegheny river, as to tbe mini mum stream discharge, must be em bodied in any plan for using tbe water stored, as well as the rights of lower ri parian owners to bave available at all times at least the minimum stream flow, as determined by tbe Water Supply Com mission of Pennsylvania must be pro tected; "That the construction of tbe dam must be under the personal supervision of an engineer skilled in Ibis branch of bis profession, who must be constantly represented by competent inspectors to insure that the construction Ib carried out in atrict conformity with tbe plans and specifications which may be approved by tbe commission, this to be entirely inde pendent of such Inspection and oversight as the commission elects to give to tbe work. "That tbe company hereinabove named must satisfy the commission, by written testimony, before tbe expiration of 18 months from the date of the issuance of letters patent, of their ability to carry the construction forward promptly and con tinuously, a requirement which is de manded by the influence which tbe pro posed improvement will have upon tbe property values affected. "That tbe operation of reservoirs, In so far as tbe control of floods and the main tenance of low water flow la concerned, bhali be subject to the direction and juris diction of ihe Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania; "That in disposing of tbe power pro duced by the said company, the prefer ence shall he given to individuals, cor porations or communities within tbe State of Pennsylvania upon equal terms and conditions of fay meut for the same. "That the charter shall not go iuto effect until tbe company shall accept tbe same, by its proper officials, covenanting at the same time that a failure to comply with tbe conditions hereinabove named shall work a revocation of its privileges by SBld charter granted; said acceptance shall be filed iu the oilice of the Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania, and a copy thereof in the office of the Sec retary of the Commonwealth, within thirty (30) days after the issuance of let ters patent by the liuvemoi of the Cpui-monwealtb." another Dam Hursts. A new concrete dam burst near Sara nao Lake, N. Y., this week; damaged property to the extent of over l(K),000, rendering 50 lain 1 1 lea homeless, aud loss of life was only prevented by alarms sent out over the telephone. The report says that what caused the break is not known as the dam was new and there was but little flood pressure upou It. A uew dam, and r resumably built with the greatest of care, and jet It broke. Nor was it a large dam, as It held back a lake only two miles long, with an average width of less than half a mile. Contrast the size of this structure with the one proposed to be built In the Tio nesta vallev, to form a lake 40 miles long and 10 miles w.dn, and the menace to the dwellers In the Allegheny valley can be easily determined. Water pressure ia a serioua matter to withhold, especially in a country where the bed rocks are coin poned of sedimentary formation, porosis and readily saturated with water. The Im mediate danger of the proposed scheme has been checked, hut a watchful care should still be kepi upon Ihe proceedings ot the Water Commission that the people of this section may not be caught unpre pared.
