In a personal communication from a
friend living near Pittsburg tbe following
trite reference is made to tbe hideous dam
schemes:
''Glad you can keep up your fight on
tbat water scheme. Guess If any opposi
tion comes, It will have to be up your
way, for down bere along tbe Ohio folks
know very little about it. Tbe dam (pray
pardon) schemers seem to have tbe Pitts
burg papers heeled off to keep mum, and
only the 'saving' to Pittsburg Is men
tioned. A room in tbe Exposition shows
pictures of sites proposed, levels, and tbe
like. It looks good and 'listens' better
when recited from tbelr side tbe feuce.
Little illogicalities like 'eight or nine
months to fill' (referring to a dam on the
Clarion) do not appeal to most people as
such. From tbe very silence of the ruts
burg papers on the subject, suspicions
arise that your diagnosis is correct : Pub
lic Funds, Private Gain, Private Avarice,
Public Disaster. Here's wishing you
win out."
Each day brings forth new evidence
that tbe whole scheme is a plot to grab the
water powers, and tbat with full knowl
edge tbat tbe public will receive not one
fartbing of benefit. Surely tbe gigantio
Water Trust is back of it all.

GRAND JURY BKPORT.
The Grand Jury reported that they bad
acted upon four bills of indictment, of
which two were found true bills and two
ignored.
They further reported as follows: Tbat
we have visited and Inspected the county
buildings and find the oourt house and
Jail in good condition, interior and
grounds well kept. We visited the coun
ty borne and found tbe farm In a good
thrilty condition, apparently in good state
of cultivation. We visited tbe different
rooms and wards and found tliem nice
and clean; the inmates well cared for. We
further report of the need and building at
once of a tire proof vault sufficient for the
storing of books of record. ' We find those
now in use In tbe court bouse not suffi
cient or safe. Tbe need of repairing the
walks on east side of Eliu street on
oourt house grounds. The need of a
ditch on east side of court house grounds
to connect with borough sewer on May
street. We find the trees in court house
grounds stand too thick; would recom
mend the removal of a sufficient number
and trimming of others to allow grass to
grow and a sod to form beneatb those re
maining. We recommend tbat a new
linoleum be placed in the Prothonotary'a
offioe. There are some supplies needed
for the Jail, bedding, etc. We recommeud
tbe painting ol eave troughs on Jail and
oourt bouse. We further report the roof
un the main building or tbe county home
Is in need or repairs; It leaks and is de
stroying the plastei; also roof ou old barn
is in need of repairs.
We, the Grand Jury of September
Term, 1912, do protest against legislation
for or building of dams iu the Allegheny
river and Tionesta creek. We further
report that It would be injurious to the
best interests of the people and destruct
ive of the best agricultural lands lu For
est county. That said operations would
destroy, lu our opinion, about one-fourth
at least of the arable or agricultural terri
tory aud be destructive of the lumber
intorests, our railroads, our highways
aud be in short a calamity to our county ,
