ELECTRIC POWER PLANTS
New Workers Acquire Control in the
u. S. & Canada.

New. York, Dec. 31.-New York men
now have acquired control Of the greater
electric power plants of the United States
and Canada, says the Herald. According
to the census the total electric power in
America in 1900 was 311,016 horse power.
The additions on the American side Of
Niagara Falls, are IS, 900 and IS, 900 horse
power plants, to be installed as fast as
each 1000 horse power unit is completed.
probably by next August. On the Ca
madam side 100000 horse power is in pro-
cess of construction for 1904 by one COM
pany and $4,000 horse-p power for another
company. At Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, 57,-
900 additional horse power has just been
turned on.
At Niagara Falls the financial support
of the Niagara Falls Power company and
the Canadian Niagara Power company is
furnished by New York capitalists.
At the 500 the Michigan Lake Superior
Power company, with $1,000 horse power
on the Michigan side and the Algoma
Company Commercial, Ltd, with 10000
horsepower on the Ontario side, are
owned by New York men.
The Great Falls, Mont, Electric Power
company is backed by ]. P. Morgan and
James j. Hill.
In California the longest electric trans
mission system in the world Is largely
financed by q New York capitalist. and the
Pixies Peak Power company. OF Colorado,
is larEeIySowned by New Workers.
In addition there are upward Of fifty
electric power plants, operated by tur-
bine water wheels having a total Of 800
miles Of circuit in which New York has
heavy financial interest. An estimate Of
$5O,O0o,O0O is believed to be the minirn UNI
sof New York's cash investment in electric
power plants.

ROYAL BANK OF CANADA
An American Syndicate Bids for a
Slice Of the Stock and
-. :-.z .4. Gets It. ..~-.-.--..

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build
ing; Washington. -,
Washington, Dec. S1.-Another notable
instance of the disposition of American
capitalists to invest in Canadian enter
prises Is shown in the offer of an Ameri-
can syndicate to take 5000 shares of
stock of the Royal Bank Of Canada. at
$3.50 per share. The syndicate Is COM
posed Of some of the most prominent
bankers and capitalists in New York and
Chicago. The price offered is much in
excess of the present market value Of the
stock, which has recently been quoted
at about s1s5 per share. The directors
Of the bank have accepted the offer sub
ject to the approval of the shareholders.
IF the sale is approved new stock will
be- issued to the members of the syndi-
cate, the bank having been authorized at
the last session of parliament to issue
100000 new stock.
According to the report of the Cana
dian government last October the total
assets of the Royal Bank of Canada
amounted to $50, 216,964. The present cap:
ital stock fully, paid is $4,000, 900 and the
surplus $1,7O0, O00.. The bank has a..
branch office in New York city and the
management expects soon to open an Of
flee in Chicago. The remaining $500, 900
of unissued authorized capital stock will
be offered to shareholders, pro rata, pre-
sumably, at an early date. The Royal
Bank of Canada was until about two
years ago known as the Merchants Bank
Of Halifax. The name was then changed
to prevent confusion with the Merchants
Bank of Canada, which has it's head office
| in Montreal. E-.'|--- s-."

Slightly Better Records Than
the st. Paul Experts.

The tournament to select a team to
represent Minneapolis bowlers at the ma
tional tournament in Indianapolis In Feo-
ruary probably will begin next week. some
thirty-five men already have entered ana
all those intending toztakeaa part are re-
quested to hand in their names and en-

St. Paul also intends to send team 10

has been arounsed in regard to the relatlVe
showings Of the twin city aggregatlons'
more especially since an intercity match
between the rival skies will probably be
arranged before the national tournament.
A comparison, Of the high average men IN
the Minneapolis and st. Paw Aeaguss

better records. Following are the ind1-
yidual averages Of the men in each league
who have rolled better than l7o:
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-12-31

Tt will be seen that sixteen Minneapolis
PLAYERS have averages of ITO or over, Whlle
only twelve st. Paul men nave reached
the standard. OF the sixteen local bowl
ers however, four have rolled in less than
ten games, so that only twelve are really
entitled to be classed in the first rank.
Comparing the records Of these twelve
Minneapolis men, woolley, Sandblem, Oh
ness, Hughes; Hansen, Buehler, Stadden.
Ruge. Mcknight, Fillmore, Kayser and
!Mueller with the averages of the st. Paul
texperts, it is seen that the local stars
have rolled in the aggregate 81 games,
against 299 for st. Paul The Minneapol1-
tans secured a total Of $685. pins, to
,5314s for st, Paul. The grand average
for the locals In, the gil games was 17S 2-3,
against 177h for st. Paul. This is
slight margin in favor Of the locals. .
Comparing the six leading men OF each
league Woolley, Sandblom, Olness,
1Inehes, Hansen and Buehler, have aver
aged 1925, to $50 14-15 for Vandertunk,
Schaller. Jungbauer. Keller, Gosewich and
Graham. the six highest men in the St

two pins In favor, of Minneap polls. wool
lev who leads the local lei: g, is slightly
over four pins ahead of Vandertunk.
> The A1inneapolis league will reopen the
schedule next week, after a respite or a

college presidents against the present sys
tenn of mass plays in football games, DR..
Carl Williams, head, coach xof the Univec-
Sity of Pennsylvania eleven, has come out
as a strong advocate of this style of play.
DR.. Williams declares, that a change in
the rules will only work harm to the
game - -..:.-. -. -. ~ ~. .g.,-

liams. ITO do so would be to deprive
the game of it's distinctive character and
to seriously impair, if not ruin it. The
cutlery about brutality is much exagger-
ated. The present regulations reduce The
chance of smuggling or roughing to mini
mum. The brutality is in the; man, not
in the rules. If a. player wants to be
brutal he will be in any style Of attack. !.
THE American game would soon degen-.
crate into something similar to the Eng
lsh game II the rules should be changed.
English football is only a preparatory
game, not calling for the strategic skill
the Americans have gradually developed.
In the American game weight and
strength are not The sole requisites. Never
before were speed. agility and the power
of quick thought SO essential to the sue
cessful player. Often a lighter player is
preferred to a heavier one, because he Is
less clumsy, keeps his feet better and is
quicker to profit by openings in the OPP
posing defense s@5 -l- ~. -
DR.. Williams does not believe that this
agitation will result in any changes in the
rules. There has been no marked increase
in fatalities he says, and he thinks he is
warranted in saying that the only players
who got seriously hurt are members of
smaller college elevens, who have not re-
ceived proper training, and hence are not
able to stand the seventies Of the game.
