Mayburg's Extensive Chemical Plant.
Work is being rushed forward rapidly
on the new chemical works being built at
Mayburg. The plant, when completed
will be the largest or its kind in existence
and will employ several buudred men.
The building ia being built of concrete
and will be very substantial. It will
cover many acres of ground and when in
running order will mean steady employ
ment for many years to come, aud the
busy town or Mayburg will continue its
activity, notwithstanding tbat Its lumber
ing days may soon bo numbered. The
new operations will keep bouses occu
pied and may require the building or
others. In tbe future another plant will
be built iu addition to Ibe large one, to
use a chemical by-product which will be
used Tor Ihe treatment of railroad ties, in
creasing their life by many years. This
treatment N similar to creosote, now be
ing used extensively by different railroad
companies. T. D. Collins, the Forest
county lumber king, Is the heaviest stock
holder in this new enterprise, while F. K.
Brown of Clarion baa also large holdings
and will be Ihe manager or the Arm. It
Is estimated tbe output or the new plant
will be about as follows: five carlouds of
charcoal, and 12,000 gallons of crude
alcohol daily. Four carloads or acetate or
lime weekly. It is estimated that about
2oo cords of wood will be birned daily.
There is now piled up about thirty
thousand cords of chemical wo id ready
lo be used on tbe Arm's ground sdjolning
the factory.
The plaut will be ready for operation
Ibe first day of February, 1013, if nothing
unforseen happens to change the plans of
the owners, and when completed will cost
about half a million dollars. The above
la a rough estimation, as it takes a per
sonal view to get an idea of tbe colossal
undertaking which Is going lo make
Mayburg one of ibe best little villages In
this county.
Governor Tener Against Water
Grabbers.
IIarrisburo, Pa., Deo. 11. Governor
John K. Tener came nut flat last night
against any bill which would restore to
water companies the right of eminent do
main, such aa they enjoyed prior to tbe
act of 1!H)5, and will oppose auy measure
which would tend to give such rights to
water power companies.
For some time It has been reported that
an organir.alion recently formed would
ask the legislature to repeal tbe act of
10U5, taking away tbia right, on tbe
ground that, It tbe stale could not utilize
ihe water rights, capital should be per
mitted to use them under slate regula
tion. When the governor was at-ked
about bis attitude on a repealing act lor
Ihe law of 11)05, be said: "I am opposed
to any legislation granting water com
panies the right of emiuent domaiu."
Numerous water companies were char
tered between 1900 and 1005 with tbe
right of eminent domain, but Gov. Sam
uel W. Pennypacker put a slop to it with
a law which be is said lo have drafted.
It declares that no water company char
tered after the passage of the act could
have the right or emiuent domaiu. This
act is said to be marked out tor repeal,
but from the position ol tbe governor it
will hardly become a law uuless It Is
passed over bis veto.
The governor will support the slate
Water Supply Com mission in its plan or
conserving tbe water rights of the slate
together with possible power sites. And
no charters will be granted until after
thorough investigation Is made.
With the Governor agaiust Ihe grabbers
it will be impossible Tor them to gel tbe
legislation they aro seeking.

lage of Rhoerda, Hese Cassel, Germany,
May 23 1837, and died at the borne of ber
daughter, Mrs. 8. S, Smith, Pittsburgh,
Pa., Dec. 11, 1012, after an illness of about
two weeks of grip- e.
The deceased came to America with her
