Ray. Amsler, the eight-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Amsler, took a
bead-first tu.nble from the top of one of
the small arches at the river bridge last
Friday noon, alighting on the back of bis
bead on the roadway. Although he was
badly shaken up be showed clear grit
aud went on to scnool. Later be became
Violently III and was unconscious the
greater part of the night but is able to be
about as usual now. The boys have a
habit of running over the top of these
bridge arches aud if the practice isn't
stopped we'll have a "roal" accident to

Two cans of black bass and five cans
of auuflsb, each specimen about three
Inehos In length, were received here Fri
day afternoon and planted In the Alle
gheny river by local sportsmen. There
was one big basa In the shipment, which
came from the State hatchery at Union
City. Quite a lot of the large basa were
also placed In the river between here and
Oil City the ssme day by Oil City parties.
The planting of adult fish for propagation
purposes Is new to this latitude up to a
year ago when the head of the State
hatcheries deoided that the practice of
planting fry was only furnishing food for
bigger fish and he decided to plant no
fish that were not ready tospawn or which
are not big enough to take care of them
selves. The first test of this experiment
locally was early In the spring when a
large number or adult trout were planted
In nearby streams. Many of these were
no doubt taken out by fishermen but
enough remained In the streams to ensure
a perfect restocking ol the waters In
which they hsve their quarters,
A burglar entered the Globe Hotel at
West Hickory between one and two
o'clock last Wednesday morning and
stole f 13 SO from the pocketbook of Clar
ence Olney, the olerk of the hotel. The
tblef gained an entrance by prying up a
wiuduw iu the sitting room. A fter turn
ing out the gas lights he entered Mr, 01
ney'a bedroom on the ground floor and
carried nut bis trousers. Leaving the
trousers In the sitting room he took the
pocketbook to tbe office, where be left it
on the clgsr case after taking out the
money. Mr. Olney says the rascal was
kind enough to leave hi in ten cents, The
thief then went up stairs and entered the
bedroom of one of the boarikjrs, who be
ing a light sleeper was awakened and
spoke to him. Tbe tblel answered biro,
turned and walked down stairs and es
caped by tbe window through which be
bad entered. Tbe boardor thought at first
It was the proprietor, Harry S. Can field,
but when the man passed under a gas
llghln the hall discovered his mls'aka.
The thief was a short man with light hair,
waa bareheaded and without a coat, and
was wearing rubbers. He is positive he
can identify the man and saw a stranger
whom hedoclares was tbe man walking
down the railroad track below West
Hickory a few days later. Nothing but
tbe money was missing from the hotel.
The same night the Forest Hotel at West
Hickory was entered and a quantity of
eatable atolen. A burglar got into the
Hotel Ryan at Tidiouto, by tbe fire es
cape, at an early hour Tuesday morning,
but was frightened away by the proprie
tor's wile before be found anything to
steal. A pair of suspicious characters
were seen here and si West Hickory and
it Is supposed the same gang is responsi
ble for all the depredations.
Forest Gas Co. Strikes Big Well.
It was the Forest Oas Co., of Tidloute,
and not the Enterprise Transit Co., which
struck the big well reported last week.
The latter company's venture on the
headwaters of Bear creek Is reported to
have come In dry.
The big well Is located near Coon creek,
noilbwest Irom tbe mouth of Judy run,
tract 6501, Green twp.,nn the Forest Gas
Co.'a lease, and Is undoubtedly a hum
mer. CIihs. Gesin Is the contracting
driller and he also drilled tbe Enterprise
Transit Co.'a well, finishing both about
tbe same time, wh'ch accounts for the
error in last week's report.
The Gas company's well la said to have
filled a 250 barrel tank in a three hours'
flow, when It became necessary to shut it
in for lack of tankage. This would be at
the rate of2,(K)0 barrels a day, but that
fact rat. not be determined until means
have been provided whereby the oil can
be saved. At any rate the showing is for
a bummer.
Tho strike Is in the fourth sand, and
the drill has penetrated it only to the
depth of six feet.
Latkr -We learn from an authoritative
source that thj well flowed freely when
ever opened up, and up to tbe last of the
week 280 barrels of oil bsd been run into
tbe pipe lines from It. It bad stopped
flowing when opened up the first ol this
week. The crew began work Monday to
drill It through the ssnd, since which
time no report has been received. Before
that time the well made a, flow each time
It was agitated.

sold his five-sixteenths interest in the
lumber business of Coleman dc Watson,
owners or tbe Clapp lands timber lu Tio
nesta township, to John F. McCormick
aud Thomas R. Uarter, of Lock Haven,
Pa. G. F. and II. U. Watson and John
Coleman, of Williamsport, Pa., purchased
the Clapp timber on August 1, 1011, the
purchase consisting of tracts 2822 and
2827, comprising 2,H0 acres. Tbe timber
on these tracts consisted principally of
virgin pine, upon which the woodman's
ax bad never beeu laid, although there is
also much hemlock and bard wood. It
waa In fact tbe only pine timber tract left
in this section that bad up to this time

HAVOC BIG DAMS WILL WORK.
United States Engineers Here To Gather
Data And Report On Feasibility of
Frightful Project.
United Statos Engineers, C. E. Ash
craft, II. S. Robh and E. F. Archibald, of
Pittsburg, whose mission in this com
munity was fully stated iu the article
copied from the Oil City Derrick last
week, have been in Tionesta a greater
portion of the past week, and if there Is a
prominent citizen in the town or neigh
borhood that had not met aud conferred
with them it is probably because be was
not aware of their presence. As has been
stated, these gentlemen are in the service
of the Federal Government and are here
to look over aud check up on the work of
enginoers that were sent out one and two
years ago by the Pittsburg Flood Com
mission, and as we understand it, upon
their report as to the feasibility ol the
plans of the commission, will determine
largely the course of the government as
to Us joining or refusing to join In carry
ing out the dam projects.
It is the business of these gontiemen to
gather all possible data bearing on the
amount of damages which such a project
would entail upon the people of the terri
tory sought to be taken up by the build
ing of these immense dams. Very much
of. this data has been furnished by our
citizens and if they have given biased
figures, the engineers have gone over the
ground in person, and we believe they
have found that the - figures have in no
case been exaggerated. In a trip up the
creek as far as Kelletlvilie and back by
way of Endeavor, they must have been
astonlst.ed at the vastuess of the bavoo
which the construction of these dams
would work.
Trie 103-foot dam at Stow b-md on the
Tiouesta creek would wipe out the Cole
man it Watson lumbering plant and
railroad, ball a mile above it, which is
just about ready to begin operations on
the great body of virgin pine timber on
tbe Clapp lands. The state road, the
Collins standard gauge railroad, every
foot of farm land with the farm buildings
would be sub, norged by the great lake.
The entire villago of Nebraska would be
under 00 feel of water, taking in the ex
tensive lumbering mill, barge yards,
boat scaffold, hotel, grist mill, the four
room school building, two-story town
ship bouse, county bridges and all of the
pretty homes, the large body of virgin
aud second growth timber up Piuey run.
Exteud ing further up the creek the two
Coon creeks would be flooded for miles
together with all the second growth tim
ber, the State road would again be wiped
out, together with tho tine State bridge,
aud on up the valley tbe standard rail
road, the farms and buildings lying along
the banks of the creek as far as Kellett
vi lie. At Ross Run the Wheeler & Du
senbury railroad aud creek bridge, and
backing up this stream the public road
coming down from Whig Hill would he
ten feet under water, aud a school house
and more farms would bo destroyed.
Kelletlvilie would be Hooded at every
sudden rise iu the creek, aud the two big
mills, tbe kindling wood and handle
factories employing several hundred
meu, and every building in the town
proper, and there are too many to enu
merate, would be flooded and people
driven to the hills. Without entirely
uew roads, starting at Kelletlvilie and
climbing over tho hills, the people of that
section could not reach their county seat,
as every avenue of travel would becutoff.
Over on the other side of the divide, by
the Allegheny river dams the ideal little
city of Endeavor would be wiped off the
map. We call it a city because it has
every commodity and com fori of tlie cities
uatural gas, electricity, a splendid sys
tem of water works, hydrants for fire
protection and the dwellings all plumbed
up lu modern style. The two great saw
mills, handle factory, planing mill,
church, kindergarten, four-room high
school, splendid moduru homes, all tlx he
wiped out. And down a little farther the
splendid town of EaHt Hickory, with its
stores, churches, large grist mill, iui
meuso stretches of farm lands under a
high state ol cultivation, the Hickory
Valley railroad aud river bridge, would
alt go. '
West Hickory, one of the liveliest bust
nesa towus in the county with uearly four
hundred iuhabitanls would be 40 feel un
der water. Tho large tannery of Smith
.t Co., furnishing employment fur nearly
hall' the town and in which is iuvested
half a million dollars, hotols, stores, aud
other business places, the splendid new
f 10,000 high school building, elegant
church and parsonage, splendid homes,
farms extending neatly two miles in
length by uearly a mile in width, in
which is Included the famous Carter
farm with its many large buildings, aud
all under the fluest state of cultivation,
would be ono vast lake of water.
On the opposite sido of the river the
County Farm would be wiped off the
map, with water extending to the very
doors of the splendid County Home.
Every road and avenue leading to this
property would be cut oil', and to roach it
at all would require the building oi a
road back over tiio mountain, thus re
moving it a distance of at least twelve
miles from the county seat, aud that over
a dozeu hills. Here again would occur
the obliteration ol a Stale highway, and
all the fine farm lands lying soutli of the
county home down to the very breast ol
the tiii-foot dam.
This proposed dam is located within
the borough limits about 20 rods above
Riverside cemetery. It would flood
Tubbs run for two miles no doubt, al
most if not actually destroying the water
supply plant. Tionesta Borough would
be located botween two vast walls of
water not two miles apart, with only
artificial structures of uncertain strength
to hold these mighty lakes from swallow
ing up everything In their pathway
should, they break, unquestionably they
would break sooner or later, perhaps at
the first filling, and not a soul in the town
won hi es'-apo. Furthermore hundred ol
lives all the way down the Allegheny
valley would be sacrificed.
Who would dare to spend a night In
Tionesta?
This In a general way gives some idea
nfttie ruin aud desolation which these
dams would work in Forest county, but
not the half has been told after all, a do
tailed statement of which would bo al
most impossible to give. While , the
gentlemen who are liere to Invesliu ite are
not talking for publication, they have by
their courteous bearing Inspired our pen
plo to believe that tho report which they
shall make to the government will be one

who are so vitally, Irightlully, cuueerued.

OWING TO ABSOLUTELY RELIA
BLE QUALITY STANDARDS
Our Boys' Department has grown to be a large part of our business. We point this
out because it means that we give more real value for each dollar than you can get
where conditions are less favorable. These facts are exemplified in our Boys'
Special
SCHOOL SUITS, $5.00
The fabrics in these suits have the stamina to retain brightness of pattern and
to hold shape. Weaves in demand are Scotch Cheviots, English Tweeds, hardy
American Worsteds. Also high-duty, non-fading Blue Serges.
Coats are made in correct yoke Norfolk and double-breasted models.
Practical mothers will note with satisfaction the large amount of high-class
work in them. Trousers are in the fashionable knickcr styles, two pairs to a suit.
These suits constitute, we believe, a record value for that price.
