WHAT WATER POWER CAN do.

The success of the cotton mauufactur-
ing industry in North Carolina is primar-
lily due to the development of its water
power. While Raleigh. Charlotte, Dur
ham and other North Carolina towns,
having no advantage of water power,
have done well with cotton mills, the ad-
vantage will always remain with those
mills that can utilize water power The
powers developed at Weldon and Roanoke
Rapids have given an impetus to manufac-
turing; the power on the Yadkin is going
to revolutionize Stanly county; the trans
mission of power from the Cape Fear to
light Fayetteville and give power to Fay
etteyile factories; the transmission of
power from the Yadkin to run the street
cars at Winston Salem-these are some
of the advantages of water power, not to
mention that all the early cotton mills
in North Carolina particularly in Rich
mond, Randolph, Alamance and CASTOR
owed their success TO the utilization OF
water powers.
The wealth which the Swiss industries
has brought to its people has largely been
due to its splendid water power In the
Engineering Magazine for May, Prof.
Franz Prasil writes:
Nature has not endowed the Swiss
soil with those treasures that in other
lands form the basis on which private and
public wealth is built, through industry
and trade, and yet Switzerland is a lead
ing Industrial country able, with its pro-
ducts, successfully to maintain its posi-
ton in the commercial world.
This is made possible because its many
water powers atone so plenteously for the
lack of coal that very often the saving
in power cost is great enough to pay for
the transportation of products to the Dor
ders of the country, and even as far as
the great world markets, and also because
the people, owing to the thorough train
ing in their technical institutions, and
their intense practical activity at home
and abroad, possess in an eminent degree
the capacity for the production of goods
of high quality. Machine building takes
leading position among Swiss industries.
as is evidenced by the success achieved
at the Paris Exposition. In particular,
the manufacture of turbines has develop
ed to such a degree, in consequence of
the need for making the most of the
country's water power, that it is now car
ried on by twelve companies"

WHICH Is RIGHT

Is Mark Hanna or Russell Sage right
about the markets? Mr.. Sage IS quoted
as saying:
Il say to you what | have said before,
that this market is % dangerous one. The
people are still crazy. There are very
few of the stocks worth as Much as Their
present prices People who hear this will
say that / am a crusty old bear. but
some day they will say that am right
Mr. Hanna takes exactly the opposite
view, and the Journal prints this inter-
view with him:
II am not in Wall Street and do not
understand that game. / am too unso-
phisticated, but l have loaned my horns
to the bulls, and they are doing great
business with them.
''Of course, records have been broken,
but this is "a record breaking year. This
boom shows the confidence people have in
the stability of American property values.
This country has reached 3 per cent
basis. Any security that pays more tnan
that is bound to go to a premium. Look at
earnings and figure how high socks
should go yourself.
Did you give a special set OF horns
to Morgan?"
Guess did. And isn't he making good
use Of them. | hear he is trying &c guy
the English fleets. The British had tet-
ter watch him or he will come back with
the whole empire. That is the kind OF
imperialism | am in favor of.
From yesterdays slump in the markets,
i! looks like your uncle Russell knows
best.

The Farm and Prosperity.

The evolution of a period of national
prosperity is indicated by progressive
~steps-first. an improvement in the,
stock and bond market; next. new life
in all manufacturing interests, this in
volving the employment of labor; next,
improved prices for all farm products,
brought about by the increased con-
sumption, and last of all a market rise
in the value of agricultural lands. This
country is now at the last stage of this
evolution of a period of great prosper
ity, with little short of a veritable boom
all over the country in land values. The
evolution of a period of so called hard
times is simply the foregoing process
reversed-irst. a panicky stock market,
then a curtailment of manufacturing
and discharge of laborers, lowered
prices for farm products, and then to
to finish up, decreased values of farm
land, the farm always being the last
to feel the effect of both conditions.
