equal to all the coal on the continent
rs far as now developed. The power
now taken at the American 500, he
said was equal TO one million tons a
year. and it was the Consolidated Lake
Superior Co. which conceived the idea
of using this suspended power TO turn
it into useful energy. He predicted n
population Of 10000 for the 500 inside
of three years, and further said that
In few years not an important city
in Michigan would be compelled to
use coal. Continuing this line Of rea-
sonlng he said that Canada. which has
many ample water powers undevel-
0ped, would see the time when the do
minion would not use pound of coal,
even for the propulsion of trains any
where between Hamilton and Quebec
He said that all doubts about the sue
cess of the Lake Superior company
had disappeared and assured the peo-
PIE Of the 500 that the present work
was but the beginning. He closed by
thanking the people Of the 500 for
their cordial support given the com
pany from the beginning. and he was
glad To see them get the S5000O0 to

Secretary WINDOWS Liberal Offer to
Souvenir Hunter.
A characteristic story is told con-
corning the late Secretary Window,
who was bald to an unusual extent.
He was believed to be in opposition to
a proposed piece of important legisla-
ton in the interests Of which very
well-fxed lobby was at work. The
lobbying had been carried on eXtens-
lively, and great deal Of the work
was undertaken by women. Window
was scheduled for a speech on some
vital issues OF the day; and 1t was
feared that he was going to turn loose
against this special bit of legislation.
He never referred to it, however, in
the course OF long and striking ad-
dress; and the lobby, taking that as a
favorable indication, sent one OF the
women to try flattery on him, in the
hope of inducing him to show his
hand. She began by expressing fervid
admiration of his speech, which was
the talk of the day in Washington, and
then said:
"Ol 1-Aegad 10 much like to have a
sou.Tir r so to,.takt home' to

Thank you! Thank you!" respond
ed Window politely.

And with a sweep of his arm he re-
moved his wig and handed it in her
direction.
