Will Harness the River.

Il Is proposed now to utilize the pow
er Of the Colorado River, which tears
its way through the Grand Canyon with
force enough to move the machinery OF
thousand mills. For many months
hydraulic engineers have been studying
the project and they have just made a
report.
They declare that in $50 miles of the
rivers course a dozen times more cleo
trlcal energy can be secured than is
taken from Niagara Falls. Part of the
canyon is in the forest reserve and it
also passes through several Indian res
ervations.
If the Governments consent can be
secured it Is intended to install this
summer plant of sufficient size to fur
nish electrical power to cities, towns
and mining camps within comparative
ly easy reach of the Colorado. and then
to increase the scope of the company
until all of Arizona and most of the
lower part of California can be supplied
from the canyon torrent.
If success attends the plans Of the
company one of the chief results will be
the placing ir operation of many mines
Of value which have long been idle be-
cause Of lack Of power.
The plans of the company include the
furnishing of motive power and light
to all the cities within reach and to cleo
trfc railways. 1t is proposed to build an
electric line along the rim Of the canyon
for a distance of fifteen miles, the bet
ter to enable tourists to view the Won
ders of the great chasm.-New York

WHY NEW YORK LEADS TRADE.
Her Route to the West Has the Least
Resistauce Against Gravity.

hcT Route TO the west rms the Least
Resistauce Against Gravity.
The completion of the Erie canal rev.
olutionized the trade of the United
States. Before Its opening Phiiadel-
phia was the commercial metropolis of
the country, and nearly all the foreign
commerce. except that landing at Bos-
ton. passed over its docks. At that
time, moreover. many II not most of
the vessels discharging at the ports of
the United States returned In ballast.
With the completion OF the canal there
was an open door between the East
and the West. and thereafter every
vessel discharging at New York was
certain of return cargo Under such
circumstances is 1t strange that the
foreign commerce should concentrate
itself at the latter portf
There was another item. too: wheat
which was $1.50 bushel at New
York, brought just one-third of that
sum at Buffalo; the difference in price
represented the cost of transportation.
With the completion of the canal the
latter was reduced to 40 cents and the
farmer got the other go. Ia It surpris-
prising that with such tremendous
gains New York should have become
the Empire Slater And yet 1t was all
In the selection of the natural trade
route-the line of least resistance-the
minimum lift against gravity.
And even to this day the same trade
route Is making history as rapidly as
1t did in the early decades Of the CEN
tury. From Buffalo to New York City
a magnificent railway system, with Its
six tracks, parallels the canal and the
Hudson estuary. From Buffalo to tide
water the millions of tons of freight
are lifted in the aggregate about 500
feet; from Chicago along the shores of
the two lakes It Is not far from 1,10O
feet.
In the case OF the trans-Appalachian
roads the aggregate of upgrades varies
from 5000 to 5000 feet. This Is the
entire lift against gravity. And that
lift means hundreds Of extra locomo-
tives and train crews. 1t means, more
over, that IN the first the cost Of trans
portation between the East and the
West must be reckoned on the basis
of the Mohawk gap route; and, what
ever may be the economic history OF
the United States in the future. Its de
yelopment will be lnseparably connect
ed with this great line Of least resist
| ance.

Lemons for the Toilet.

Few women nowadays but know the
value of lemons and the fruit is so
cheap that the toilet table should not
be without this little yellow DOCTOR"
as some call it. Lemon juice Is whiten-
ing either for the hands, neck or face.
A piece of lemon rubbed on the teeth
removes discoloration, but the teeth
must be btushed afterward or the acid
will injureN them. A piece Of lemon
tossed in the wash water is refreshing
and likewise softens the water.

Lines.

The BUSINESS NEWS Of THE WEEK

Retail trade the past week, with
some houses, has been very good,
Monday and Tuesday. especially be-
ing good days. The dull season is at
hand however and no one expects big
things. The clearance sales will be
the features of the stores for the next
few weeks and should make trade
active.
In the whole sale circles the condi-
tions are aboat like last weeks.
Trade is little quiet with collections
slow. Some Of the whiskey houses are
enjoying splendid trade but with the
other houses the volume Of business
holds up aboat the same.
The manufacturing concerns report
business good. For most lines 1t is
off season, yet the hang over orders
are coming in very well. The Lack
Singletree Co. received good sized
o.der this week from Salt Lake City
for bill of goods. They have repre-
sentatives in ten cities now and are
running with full force this summer,
although it is out of season to get NJ
stock for current demands and for the
early fall trade
The Sutherland Medicine company
is hooking some good orders for Pine
Tar Honey this month and July
August and September, tits expected
will prove exceptional months. The
sale of this medicine has assumed
wonderful proportions and the bust
mes. done this year will run into large
figures. River trade continues good
and all the boats are getting a SHARE
of it. Passenger business is fine. The
railroads, too, are having good pas
senger traffic, the summer travelling
having set in in earnest.
There is much rejoicing over the
final settlement Of the furnace project
and the positive assurance that the
furnace will soon be in blast Gentle
men who should know say that Padu
cabs prospects for big iron industry
in the next few years are splendid and
that it will give all lines of retail
