Editor Oil City Derrick: Notice to all property owners and citi zens ol cities, villages and farms located on the Allegheny river between Tionesta and Pittsburg, should be called to tbe statement in tbe Oil City Derrick issue of June 13, 1012, regarding the charter for incorporating a company composed of Messrs. W. H. Douglass, J. P. Fife and J. R. Paul, with a capital of the large sum of $5,000.00 to build a dam on Tionesta creek for tbe purpose of furnishing power to the surrounding counties. The object of the incorporators is a very good business proposition, but the con tiuual danger to people living along the Allegheny river more than offsets any advantage which would be gained by cheap power and light. What would our property be worth in Oil City, should we have a disaster visit our valley such as happened to Austin last fall? How many of our shops and industries would re build in Oil City? Wbst would the re sulting blow caused by loss of life and properly mean to Oil Cit? How many of us working people would have to start all over again to save up enough to buy our hornet? Having seen tbe dam of the Bayless Paper Co., which caused such destruction in the Valley of Austin aud Costello, and noting itssmallness in compailson to the one proposed to be built on Tionesta creek, I tbink that we, the property own ers, taxpayers and men of families, should protect our homes and property, by making a personal protest against tbe chartering of the company, the same to be mailed direct to the Water Supply Commission at Harrisburg at once. N. A. Bkioblky, No, 9 Petroleum street. Oil City, Pa., June 13, 1912. Tbe Water Supply Commission has signified its willingness to keep the peo ple of this community informed as to when the consideration of these charters will be taken up. It was stated tbat tbey would be taken up at the regular monthly meeting to be held this week, but as tbe County Commissioners and others bave received no such notice it is taken for granted the matter will not come up at this time, otherwise our people would bave been notified. Fryburg Has a Disastrous Fire. The Fletcher block with a frontge of CO feet ou Main street and two stories high and the residence of Dr. II. N. Hess at Fryburg, Clarion county, were destroyed by a lire ol supposed Incendiary origin early Friday morning. The larger build ing was owued by George A. Fletcher, who occupied the greuter portion as a drug store. The other business estab lishments were John F. Smecker's bar ber shop and Albert Deitz's bowling al ley. Mr. and Mrs. Deitz occupied tbe second floor as living rooms. It was about 2:30 o'clock in the morning that Mr. and Mrs. Deitz were awakened by tbe best in Ibeir bed room and found tbe ceiling above them on fire. They ran out doors in their night clothing and gave tho alarm. Frantically all the community respond ed and men, women and children formed a bucket brigade. There is no fire fight ing apparatus and the water supply soon ran short and as a result the business block and the Dr. Hess residence, one of the landmarks of tbe village and erected more than CO years ago, were destroyed. Some of the best furniture was removed from the Hess home before the Haines reached It. The losses are approximately as follows: George A, Fletcher, store and building, $1,000; insurance $2,000. Albert Deitz, bowling alley and billiard room and personal effects, Including two gold watches, $100; insurance $400. J. F. Smecker, barber shop, $200; no insurance. Dr. II. ti, 1 1 ess, house and contents, $:;,0iH); partially insured. The Washington Hotel, Lutheran church and several other bbildiugs were badly scorched, hut the vigilance ol the bucket brigade prevented a further spread ol the flames. The fire was started at the rear of tho drug store and the lateness of the hour and lbs fact that there had been no lights in that end ofthe building eitlier day or night gives strength to the theory of in cendiarism and the community is thor oughly alarmed snd apprehensive, not only through this lire hut lour that were of similar origin and which occurred within short intervals last winter. The barn of Joseph Fessenmyer was the first, then the barn of Baker A linker, owners of the grist mill, snd In turn the town ship school house at the edgo of town were setslire but were discovered In time to be saved.
