r. d. o. Johnson. the civil engineer, who
is estimating the feasibility and cost of the
construction of the Meramec River power
canal, says that there is precedent for such
an undertaking., and that at present there
seems no adequate reason why. at Meramec
Highlands. within thirteen miles of st.
Louis. a power station should not be es-
tablished which would be a miniature Mag
ara in commercial value.
The plan is to cut across country with n
waterway leading from the Missouri River
and empty it into the Meramec. thereby
gaining a fall of forty-nine feet, nine feet
gradual decline and a perpendicular drop
of forty feet.
Attorney H.. ]. Cantwell and others inter-
ested say that the success of such a scheme
depends entirely upon its cost. Mr.. Can't
well said: 'It looks as II We will be able
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-04-13

to furnish 20.NS-horse power at a cost OF
SIS per annum per horse power. whereas
horse power furnished by coal in this city
now averages s5 or $50 per nnnum per
horse power
The long channel proposed from Centaur
to Creve Occur Lake. thence south to
Meramec Highlands, would involve Il total
fall of only nine feet. But from the crest
of the bluffs at Meramec Highlands to the
river bed would be a sheer descent of forty
feet. Here would be the source of the
power. The irresistible weight of the de-
scending water. controlled by fumes and
pipes. would turn wheels which would set
in operation necessary machinery fer trans
ferring the power into electricity or COM
pressed air.
Mr.. Cantwell says that the legislative
difficulties In connection with the scheme
are insignificant. connected with the en-
cheering phase. w nave obtained the
right to use the Missouri River water from
Congress said he. I'VE have only to Sc
cure the right to cross country roads"
