Cattle Showing,

The cattle department of the state
fair, according to Secretary E. w. Ran
dali, will this year be better and big
ger than ever.
Much of the success of the cattle de-
partment of the fair has been acquired
because the larger breeders assocla-
tions of the country have made this
fair one of regular official exhibits, and
have donated regular premiums in adj
dition to those offered by the society.
For the national shorthorn show to-
tai of 81, 500 in premiums is offered.
This is open to the breeders of the
world, and in addition there is a spec
ial $500 premium to be distributed
among Minnesota breeders, besides
several small premiums offered by pat
rons of the fair
Premiums offered by the American
Hereford Breeders association are as
liberal and comprehensive as those OF
the other association.
The cattle department has for many
years been in charge of Col. VIM. M.
Liggett, whose assistants this year will
be George A. Cobb and Robert b. Lig-
gett. Entries for the general cattle
division close on August 10, but fol-

ark, Fort Niagara, Buffalo, all suffered
from British attacks. The battle OF
Bridgewater sometimes called battle
of Niagara Falls, and also designated
battle of Lundy's Lance was fought with
in sight and sound of the Falls, and at
Fort Erie the Americans made the sortie
that saved Buffalo and western New
York from further British invasion.
AS is we'll known, Niagara for some
time past has been of quite other than
scenic and historic value. Among the
countless visitors to Niagara in the last
100 years there were many that con-
cocted schemes for the claiming OF
Niagara" the putting to practical use
portion of the great water power. The
Falls representing 100000 horse pow
er, manufacturers considered it sim
full waste not to utilize the wealth here
to be had so freely; and, little by little,
progress was made in the way OF OBJ
tanning rights and privileges.
In 1912 there was proposed by Mag
ara man a considerable extension OF the
system of canals and races then in use,
and finally arrangements were COM
pleted for the construction of canal
by which water of the upper Niagara
river should be brought to reservoir
at the high bluff of the lower river. On
the edge of the basin various mills were
erected, the water conducted to their
wheels by means of short tunnels. In
| 1870 the canal became the property OF
| the Niagara Falls Hydraulic and Manu-
| featuring company, which leased water
! privileges to several tenants; and be-
! fore long quite manufacturing colony
| grew up about the picturesque gorge.
In 1886 more land was secured by the
company, and in 1892 work was begun
on the enlargement of its canal. A pulp
mill and power house are comparatively
recent additions to this industrial Mag
ara.
The other huge enterprise engaged in
furnishing Niagara power, the Niagara
Power company is more recent organ
ization. In 1886 several citizens Of Mag
ara obtained a charter from the legis-
lature giving them the right to utilize
for manufacturing purposes part of the
water of the river; but the plan of this
|
| nous scale that much time and caution
were necessary for bringing the work
to satisfactory completion. After much
conference and study it was decided to
establish an international Niagara COM
mission, with power to offer $4,000 in
prizes for the most excellent plans for
the purpose required; thus obtaining
for the construction the best talent the
world had to give. In the fall of 1890
ground was broken for the tunnel, and
in two years the work was completed.
From the above brief presentation OF
the two sides of the Niagara question
one perhaps may get some small idea
of the difficulties that beset New York 8
governor when called upon to decide the
future of Niagara.
