MAN. " TUNNEL

TRANSVERSE SECTION SHAFTS AND TUNNELS.
The land at Tonawanda is but little higher
than the river. From there northward is a
gradual rise for about ten miles to a ridge
running in an east and west direction.
Lockport being situated on the ridge, whose
crest there Is lower than further west and is
cut by two ravines or depressious. The
work will be all cutting and little or no ean-
bankment will be required. From Lockport
to the mouth of Eighteen Mile creek the
country fails and tho distance is com.
paratively trihlng.
The Niagara river has fall of 3S53 feet
1t is proposed to run a canal from point
opposite Grand Island near Tonawanda,
where the curren: is not very rapid, to Lock
port discharging the water which shall pass
through ii INTO Eighteen Mile creek which
empties into Lake Ontario, and will form
n conduit for about one-third Of the distance.
The utilization of the power Is first practi
cable at Lockport. Between Lockport and
the lake twenty dams are practicable, at each
of which the full power Of the water of the
canal with - considerable head can be made
effective. or course the size OF the canal and
the fall obtained will determine the amount
Of power that can be made available. 1t is

carry them into execution. This company
proposes to furnish 500 horse power each
to 23S mills, which shall be located
from one mile to two and a half miles
up the river from the falls, in no way
interfering with the view, yet easily accessible
by river and railroad, and all this they pro
pose to accomplish by one great tunnel
underneath the town and side tunnels from
the river each with its wheel pit for turbine
water wlieels-the whole series drawing
through the main tunnel to the level of the
river below the falls. Thus they will secure,
at cost of S3000,000 or less, power exceed
ing the combined water power of Holyoke,
Lowell, Minneapolis, Cohoes, Lewiston
and Lawrence, and, unlike theirs, subject to
no vicissitudes of drought or danger of over
flow or destruction of dams, but from sources
exhaustless as the great lakes and in tunnels
as enduring as the solid rock.
The conception is sublime. The completed
work would seem to Guido any of the won
ders of the ancient world. 1t exalts ones
views of the dignity of the human intellect.

falls. And finally the company proposes
charge Of but $40 per year for each horse
power Of water supplied-less than third OF
the average cost at other places-yet when
ell the sites are utilized the income will be 10
per cent. on the total cost These are the
immediate returns looked for; but beyond
lie vast possibilities Of storing and transport
ing the power by electricity to neighboring
cities.
Considering the fact that the available wa
ter power of the country is diminishing as
the forests are cleared, and that in many
manufacturing centers summer droughts and
winter foods are serious menaces, one can
but wonder that the exhaustess power of
Niagara has not already been utilized.
Manufacturers would hardly ask us to credit
them with sentimental reasons for withhold
ing their hands No doubt the principal OBJ
stacle has been the enormous initial cost of
making the improvements, as it presented
itself to most who examined the subject, No
one company could prohtably utilize such n
power; and it was not easy to form a sufii-
cient combination of companies. The fact
that Niagara is on the Canada frontier had
something TO do with it, no doubt; and still
more that it was on the western frontier
when the factories of New England
and eastern New York were established
Some small raceways were made
several years ago, involving not 1000 horse
power in all; but they all come within the
fixed bounds of the park reserved by the
state, and are, of course, discontinued. In
1855 the hydraulic canal was begun, outside
the limits of the reservation; that is, across
the peninsula on which the village of Niagara
Falls is built, and after long disuse it was
reopened in 1878, and now supplies power to a
few manufacturers. Since July 4, 1879, a
Brush dynamo, supplied with power by the
rapids, has been run in Prospect park for the
illumination of the falls and grounds, and
other small uses have been made Of the power.
But all appear trifing compared with the
plan proposed by the new company.
Another scheme for the utilization OF
Niagara's power has been set on foot by GER
tain gentlemen of Lockport, N. Y. Their
purpose is to supply water for the city of
Lockport and vicinity, for manufacturing
and other purposes, by taking it from the
Niagara river at Tonawanda, or some point
between Tonawanda and Niagara Falls, and
discharging the current into Lake Ontario
near the village of Olcott. The watchwords
of this organization are very taking. They
are:
Lake Erie. the mill pond. Niagara river, the
head race. lake Ontario, the tail race No floods.
No droughts No broken dams No idle mills.

NIAGARA FALLS, Feb. bah lovers of
the sublime and beautiful in nature have re-
joiced that the state of New York had at
last taken control of Niagara falls, laid out
a reservation including and preserving the
adjacent beauty, and to some extent regulat-
ing the cost of visit to the great waterfall.
At the same time, all who have seriously
thought of the immense water power there
literally running to waste, have had their
unitarian instincts grieved by the confident
statement that there was no way to utilize
the force without marring the beauty. How
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1888-03-03

Yet the plan is so simple that the most ignor-
ant can comprehend it.
The conditions are these From the head of
the rapids to the cataract the fall is Is feet,
height of the cataract lG5 feet, total fall 23O
feet. The average flow of the river is 275, 600
cubic feet per second; total water power,
therefore, 100000 horse power, from which
the company proposes to take only 10000
horse power At the foot of the falls the
river turns almost square to the right, thus a
straight line from the rapids above to the
edge of the water just below them is the
hypothenuse of a right angled triangle. The
tunnel. therefore, is to begin at II point just
above high water level, but 200 feet below the
top of the bluff, below the falls; thence it is
to run at an upgrade Of one foot in 100
through the solid rock TO a point
mile above the falls; thence it is to
continue one and half miles parallel
with the river, 400 feet distant from it and
100 feet below it, and to be connected with it
by lateral tunnels. OF these each is to have
its wheel pit for turbine water wheel, and
the slope of the lateral tunnel or conduit
such as to secure rapid discharge of the
water The main tunnel is to be "a feet in
diameter, amply sufficient TO discharge all
water the side tunnels may pour into it, and
these, with heads ranging from "a to so feet,
for turbine wheels of the latest pattern, will
amply secure the promised 10000 horse
power, or 800 horse power each for the 23S
factories, for which sites can be provided in
the space secured.

RH0DA'S ENCOUNTER.

1t was n beautiful evening in June,
miles or so up the road, Ouscport Harbor
was dead in its mud, and the our or five
vessels which lay in it at all sorts OF an
giles would not be showing the remoto-t
sign of life until the return OF the tide
at midnight.
Ouseport, as a rule, retired early, and
consequently this two miles Of oad
skirting the crimson shore was altogether
deserted. Above the road was n garden,
raised some eight or ten feet above our
heads, and there sat old Capt. Russell.
He was in an outlook he had built ON
the wall overhanging the road, and ecTEn-
ing a sort of tower to Il spacious, old-fash-
ioned snuggery, half summer-house and
half smoking-room. Here he was to be
found the l~iyelong day, enjoying his
growl. And here he sat on the evening
in question amidst II pile Of sca-charts
and newspapers.
Captain Russell was in a melancholy
mood, but even that he enjoyed; there
was in it n pleasant delirium which
at that ome he would not have
changed for the best company which had
ever crowded round his table when he
was captain of the old TravancoIe East
Indiaman.
That evening was the twenty fifth an
niversary of an event which was the turn
ing point in his life. It was just such an
other evening. tOO-duiet. fragrant with
