Centre Street at Elm, Oil City, Pa. Hats That Radiate Difference. It's the little touches that lift hat out of the commonplace into the unusual, the exclusive. It may be a slight degree in the set of a feather, a new color combina tion, a different set of the crown, a judicious blending of trimming. But whatever it is, it is here, this touch of charming distinctiveness, in every one of the superb hats that now grace our millinery rooms. As fast as nimble fingers can turn them out, new creations are continually added to the brilliant assemblage. And every new arrival, exclusive and charming as it may be, is marked with the same disregard for ordinary price standards which char acterizes the Smart & Silberberg millinery.

Commission of Pittsburg Is as I am inform ed, to erect at least three datus in the Al legheny river, as follows: Oue near Pan ther itun above Rockniare, 6.1 feut high, second at Tlouesta below Tubbs Run, 66 feet high, third about two miles above Tld loate U fuel high. These dama would make practically a pond or lake or water from Kock mere to Irvlneton, a distauce of about 47 miles. Then build a fourth dam on Tloneala creek almut oue half mile from Its mouth, which dam Is to be 104 feet high In considering such a scheme, the advan tage or beneflta to be obtained and also the disadvantages and damages It would lie to property and buaineaa Kith pttblio and private, should be oarefully considered and estimated. No benefit or advantage could possibly come to the people or business In the vicinity of the proposed dams, 47 miles of the P. R. It. on westerly hank of the river would be submerge 1, rendered use less and if rebuilt would bave to be back ou the hill, where it would be of little prartt cal use to the business of the valley. The business of the Taller would all be destroyed It Is impossible to valus the injury It would be to the oil and gas territory that would tie effected by these dams. It must be under stood that It Is not ouly the property aud business directly in the valley or that which would be covered by the water that would be injured, but all the property aud busiuess adjaoeut, wbloh leads luto the valley aod dependeut on to market would likewise be damaged. The public roads, which Is now a Slate Road, from Tionesta to Irvinton would be submerged, besides about 1 cross roads leading luto the valley would be useless. Tionesta, the i'ouuty Seal, is a prosperous and beautiful town of about As.) population, with Court House. Jail, Stores and numerous (Ine residences, j S.l'l Hauks.3 Hotels, pure water from the tuountaiu springs and streams aud uatural gas for both beat aud light furnished by companies of It own Citiieus. The County Home and farm is situated asout three miles up the river from Tlouesta, with a meoadam road between. The promised itams would cut off all means of communi cation from County seat to County Home, ty ttoodiug I lie sani road, which Is the only war of travel to said home. The Horns farm Jlus the river and that part of rial neat river would be Hooded and also two otber farms adjoining. Also the Cartr fvrm, King and Siggius farms, all good oil territory on west side of the river and all the bottom land at East Hickory. Thess farms are very valuable. Both the towns of West aud East Hickory, and Endeavor would be ruaxU less inundated. The large taunery Co, plaut at West Hickory sorters a like fate. All the bottom laud on both sides of the river from Hickory to Irvineton where there are several good farms of the best of land would be damaged aud would have to be abaudoned. I n fact all the farm ing and business along the Allegheny valley would be destroyed The nam on Tlouesta Creek nf 10;t feet lilfcb would back the water up to Kellettville. t he lumber Plant of Coleman & Watson at Johns Itnn just above ine oreast or tue nam would be covered with nearly 1(H) feet of water. A damage of not lesa than ftiO.000 to $70,000. The town of Nebraxka 7 miles up the Creek lib a population of over 300. their nubile. schools, Homing mills, double saw mill equal to two mills, dry kiln aud saw mill machine shop connected, box factory, hotol, barge and boat yard, large general store and a number of dwelling bonses would lie covered with about 6 0 feet of water. This will completely destroy all the business aud property, besides the farm land, a d of 8600,000 to SOC.OOO. Continuing up the Creek to Kellettville, several farms of bottom land would be destroyed, also the village of Newtown, its public schools. Boss Run public school and Old Town nnlilin school. One million dollars would sceroely cover the damage. In addition to above tbere Is the damage to the oil and iras wells aud territory, which cannot be estimated. There are two County Iron bridges at Ne braska and one Slate Iron bridge above, which would be destroyed. The Tionesta Valley It. B. that connected with T. V. B. B. at Boss Buu would be Hooded. Much valuable timber owned by Wheeler and Dusenbury on Tionesta Creek will be Suits to Order, $12.60 to $36.00. Sw Shirts to Order, $2.00 to $12.00 . T. A. P.

Oil City, Pa. shipped by way of T. V. B. It. and Hickory Valley U, R. via Boss Itun to the Wheeler mill at Endeavor. The dam would prevent this. This Hickory Valley It. B. connects with the P. It. R. at West Hickory on Allegheny river. The dam on the river would shut out this connection, leavino- the large lumber plaut at Endeavor out in the cold with no means of gelling lis products to market either by rail or water. There is a good state highway the entire length of the creek, besides soma seven or eight cross roads leading Into it below Kel lettville. These would be destroyed and no place for their reconstruction. The town ship ot Qreeu would bs divided and cut in to parts and virtually have to be abandon ed as such, as three-fourths of Its taxes coins from properly in the creek valley, and Ihree-foiirlbs of the people of the town ship depend upon the business in the val ley for a living. The general effect on the business of the county, its finances and taxatious would be so depressing that eventually the county as such would be abandoned and the territory added to ad jacent counties. These dams would lie such a menace to the people lu the valleys that they would live ill constant fear of being drowned out like the people of Johnstown, Austin and other places. Some engineers say such dams can be made to bo perfectly safe from breaking out, others say tbey connot. Hut whether they ran or cannot It la Impossible to make the people believe they will be safe. The formation of the hillsides here being shale, loose sand stone aud full of crevices. It will be impossible to get a solid rock to tie the ends ot datus to. The water will percolate around and final ly destroy the dam. It is quite a dlA'erent proposition here than in the inountaius of the west where tbeir is granite rock to lie to. This menace Is not confined to the peo ple In the vicinity of the dams but to all in the Allegheny valley to Pittsburg. The boat and barge industries and running of lumber on the Allegheny river and it trib utaries above Rocktuere will have to stop, no possible way to get them to market it would be destroyed. As there Is to be no locks or means of getting boats or lumber over the dams. The policy of the U. S. Government Is eventually to slack water the Allegheny river aud make it tiavigabli If the proposed dams are built the river could never he made navigable. Hnch a scheme is directly opposed to the policy of the U. S. government. T. F. Uitchey. An Early Autumn Fashion Exhibit in Every Department.
