NIAGARA SIT TO WORK

That the white man sets every thing
10 work, is remark that has often
been made by negroes and savages,
and now the white men OF New York
have DIT cided that the Niagara river
above the falls must do its share OF
work along With other things In &C.
cordance with q law OF New York
State just come inc operation, the
Niagara Tunnel Company will cut a
tunnel from the gasworks along the
bank OF the river to carry of the waste
water from the mills. Operations are
soon to begin with room for 157 mills,
each with 100 feet front. The dredg-
ing OF the river is now going on, by
which vessels with grain and other
commodities can reach the mills. At
Minneapolis, Mimi, the falls OF st.,
Anthony have made the Place wealth
by grinding wheat into -four for it, aud
now Niagara is to be supplied with
employment in a similar manner.
There will be large city built up in
time, which may be called Flouriown.
As the manufacturing will be done up
the river, the beauty and enjoyment
Of the falls will not be interiered with,
but the hsckmen will cary on their
grinding there as usual.
