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

Jail, Stores and numerous (Ine residences,

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

Coleman & Watson at Johns Itnn just above

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

cover the damage. In addition to above
tbere Is the damage to the oil and iras wells

There are two County Iron bridges at Ne

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.
