by the secretary of the Business

the expectation -of men high in
the company's affairs that the
bondholders will step in and
wind up the affairs of the com
pany at no distant date,

HALF MILLION DOLLAR
PROJECTJLHOST DONE
Sunday afternoon Dr. J. H. Murray
and tbe editor of Tbe Star paid
visit to the scene of the greatest
engineering project attempted in Jeffer
son oounty in recent years, tbe big
Kyle Run dam of tbe Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburgh Railway Company,
three miles west of Fall Creek, and
about six miles north of Reynoldsville
Half a million dollar will be put into
this dam, wblob will hold when com'
pletrd five cqllllon gallons of water and
supply tne B., R. A P. operations at
DuBoi with water. The huge breast
works of the dam, built of steel and
concrete, stretch across the broad Kyle
Run valley like tbe wall of a gigantio
fortress and may be seen gleaming gray
in tbe sun from a distance of six or
seven miles. Tbe land up the valley
from tbe breastworks for over a mile Is
being cleared of stumps and old logs
and tbe total area wbloh will be cover
ed with water when the dam is filled,
will be between two and three square
miles.
Tbe question of securing an adequate
supply of water for the industries in
this section is becoming very serious.
Tbe building of retaining dams,
which will fill in tbe winter and spring
ahd bold a summer's supply is a partial
solution of the problem, but have not
yet proven a complete success for tbe
reason that the leakage below and tbe
evaporation during. the summer is so
great that unless a constant and large
supply is flowing in, the largest bodies
oL water disappear in a short time
during the summer months without
regard to the amount used for in
dustrial purposes.
The B., R, & P. company a few years
ago spent 1250,000 on a large dam at
Cloe, Indiana county, and for a long
time it was questioned whether the
dam would ever hold sufficient water to
be of practical service, owing to
leakage. Tbe company has at last got
it into condition and at present it I
about half full of water.
