The end of Niagara Falls

Ten power developing com
panies -four American and six
Canadian now have authority
to utilize 1914 per cent. Il, $50,
500 horsepower of the effective
power of the falls. There devel-
opments if fully utilized, will, in
the judgement Of engineers, des-
troy the American falls, for the
reason that but IL per cent of
the average flow of Niagara pas
ses over the LOCO feet of the
America falls.
If even half the authorized
amount of water is withdrawn
above the cataract. the Ameri-
can rapids will be entirely bare
of water except for thin triCkle
to pass over the face of the Am
erican fall.
Five of the ten companies are
exercising their franchises and
actually developing power, while
the others are actively prepar-
ing to do the same.
che power developed so far
has not suited in any general
benefit to the people at large
The CITY of Buffalo Is lighted
by Niagara made power, for
which it pays$75 per 1000 can
dlepower arc light per year;
sum considerably above the
average price paid by American
cities for the same light produced
bv means of burning coal trolley
fare in Buffalo, the trollevs being
being driven by Niagara's power
is 5 cents, and the trolley comp
anies pay no more taxes anc
no greater proportion Of gross
revenue to the city of Buffalo
than the average Of American
cities where coal produced cleo
tricitv is utilized.
IF half the authorized power
is developed by the companies
now having permission, and j
half this power is sold at hal
price now now being charged
an income of approxima tel7
twenty million Of dollars will b.
received BY the ten companie:
Involved of which not one cen
would got to the state of New
York, while the Dominion O
Canada would receive approx
imatelv $24o, 900 per year. A.
it is estimated that there ar
less than one thousand stock
holders in the ten companies in
volved, the benefits conferred
are obviously confined to few
persons.
the preservation of Niagara Fall'
can be accomplished only by thu
combined action of the Aneri
can and Canadian governments
The ordinance of 1877 recog
nizes the common interest of al
the states and territories III tht
Niagara river, for it recites that
all water flowing into the St
Lawrence river shall be held a.
! public highways forever.

Market fer Gotten Goods.

There was a feeling in the Southern Cotton association, which met last week in New Orleans, that the best policy in the cotton industry does not consist so much in limitation of acre. age as it does in the long run in grow ing as much cotton as naked world will take at remunerative price. The south can grow cotton at lower cost of production than any other section can grow it, and we should, therefore, maintain our dominance in the world s commercial crop.
 The planters at New Orleans be- came convinced that the consumption of cotton can be, and should be, widely expanded. Not only should cotton goods be carried to other countries, but efforts should be made to find new uses for cotton.
 It is believed that if southern sena-  tors and representatives would act unitedly. Congress would appoint a commission whose duty it would bo to widen the market for cotton goods. The wider the market the easier 1t would be to secure satisfactory prices for the raw material, for lint cotton. Interior China and Central Asia do not consume one-tenth of the cotton they should consume, and the mixture of cotton with silk or wool is in its infancy. A natural commission made up of energetic and competent men could serve the great industry of the south excellently well. Unity of ac- infancy. A national commission made Congress would certainly secure the appointment of such a commission. President Roosevelt is committed to such project, and it is not reasonable to think that any one would oppose the granting of so small an aid to the fifteen states and territories that grow cotton. The crop has, too, very great natural bearings, for it gives the coun- try. the whole country, a favorable balance of trade. Without it we would have an adverse annual balance, and a high degree of prosperity would thus become impossible.

France-VenezueIa Troubles.

Diplomatic relations between France and Venezuela have been severed, and M. T'aigny has been recalled. Even the French cable from Caracas cannot be used. All French affairs have been entrusted to the American minister, who will look after the French in. terests that need immediate attention.
 The entire trouble between France and Venezuela may be said to have sprung from President Castro's lack
 of respect for contracts or even-
 handed justice. He treats the United States as unjustly as he does other countries. Our trouble relates more particularly to asphalt, while Frances trouble Is connected with the con

JamestOwn's Exposition.

In the words of President Roosevelt, the Jamestown exposition is to be "an international naval, marine and mill tary celebration beginning May IS and ending not later than November 1, 1907, for the purpose of commemorating in a fitting and appropriate manner the birth of the American nation" It is to be a ter-centennary event, and the grounds for the exposition are being laid out and buildings erected at Hampton Roads, where all the ships of the world could ride at anchor.
 The commemorative exposition at Hampton Roads will no doubt be largely of a naval and military nature, but the management does not propose to illustrate the growth and achieve ments of three hundred years exclu- sive1y on those lines. It is asking each state to make plain at Hampton Roads the progress made in industries and the arts--in all natural and manu- factured products, in short More than half of the states have already taken steps to be represented at the coming exposition, and it is hoped that all will. Some will erect hand some buildings there.
 No doubt Alabama will be expected to do her part, but as the legislature does not meet until January, 1907, it is not easy to see how this district or any other district in this state can be properly represented at the exposition unless individual action and patriotism be appealed to. The first landing of permanent Alabama set tiers at Jamestown made Alabama possible, and it would pay this dis triot we'll to be adequately represented at the exposition. The subject Is one that deserves consideration.
 We might at any rate send Vulcan there, and perhaps Vulcan would like the locality we'll enough to stay there. In that case. the fund already sub scribed for would be sufficient, all ways provided the assent of the sub scribers could be obtained.
