NIAGARA
FALLS
DOOMED

The generally accepted volume Of
the Niagara river at the brink Of the
falls Is $4,000 cubic feet per second.
There are at present two power com
panies operating on the American side
and three at work, or preparing for
work, on the Canadian eide. The pro
cess of using the power Of the river
produced by its sheer plunge Of 161
feet, is to convey water by tunnels
canals, or pipe lines, from some point
above the brink to the lower level be
low the falls Il Is obvious that II all
the water were thus conveyed around
the brink by ubterranean passages or
canals there would be none 20 make
a fallsj but Il seems that the Amcri.
can Horseshoe falls probably win die
appear when very much less than half
the water Is subtracted, for tho brink
Of the hard dolomite rock over which
the river plunges is no less than ten
feet higher on the American side than
on the Canada, the great bulk Of
the water passing on the British side
OF Goat island. DIR. Clark estimates
that when 10000 cubic feet Of water
per second has been subtractcd from
the river there win be but thin and
pitiful apron Of water remaining Of
the American Horseshoe falls. He pro.
diets that when $4,000 cubic feet Of
wato are used in tho power plants one
may walk dryshod along the brink Of
these falls, and IN arid waste Of rock
bed viii be left between Goat island
and the mainlfnd These hve compan.
les now In operation are allowed by
their charters 90 take $4,000 cubic feet
Of water per second. So that there is
clearly impending a contraction Of the
American falls 10 a pitifui remnant
Bot tho danger does not stop here.
During tho past winter and spring a
sixth power company has been making
tho aorccst efforts IN Albany 20 TO
new an old charter which would allow
Il 60 take away a further quota Of
Niagara Falls 20 be carried By canal
across country 70 Lake Ontario. Dr.
Clark estimates that this company
would use not less than 10000 cubic
feet Of water per second, bringing the
total 10 $500 cubic feet. over and
above this, tho engineer Of tho com.
missioners Of Queen Victoria Niagara
Falls park has suggested feasible sites
for four additional Canadian compan
les, 20 consume 10000 cubic feet OF
water per second bringing the total
20 ss,S96 cubic feet Of water por sec,
ond demanded by tho work now going
on, plus the contemplated operations
Finally, engineers point out that, even
II the power development Is AZ once
halted az the falls, there Is a strong
probability that great quantities of
water viii be taken from the great
lakes above the river, which would
have the same deadly tendency to 70.
dbee tho volume Of water at Niagara
falls. With a difference Ia level be.
tween Lake Erie aud Lake Ontario of
3s7 feet, and the distance between the
two lakes only tWentyseveh miles, the
engineering opportunity is obvious.
Then there are the additional drafts OF
the Welland eaLal, the Erie canal, aud
the Chicago drainage canal.
The net result Of these drains from
the water Of the great lakes and from
their outlet, the Niagara river, is, in
the opinion Of many competent engi'
neeFs, the certain doom Of the falls. -

 More than any other nationality, the English are said to be injuriously af- fected by this attitude of the Chinese government. The movement to de- stroy or regain control of concessions | held by foreigners is said to have be- gun when the famous Hankow Can 1 ton Railway concession was regained | by the Chinese government by pur- chase from the American concession
 holders and since then every new
 enterprise in the way of jublic utili- ties in China has been officered and
 manned by Chinese themselves.

MATTER OF IMPossIBILITY.
Railroads Cannot Make Through Rates
 to stand Thirty Days.

Dallas. Texas. Sept. 1l.-o. r. Coiquittt, a member of the Texas Railroad Commission which body has
 perhaps had more experience in deal ing with cotton rates than any other
 railroad commission in the county mas answered a letter from Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane, who ask ed for an opinion on the application or
 the railroad copanies to be reileVeo
 from complying with the thirty days
 notice clause of the recent interstate
 commerce act in the quotation UT
 through rates on cotton
 MT. Colquitt says 1t would be abso- lutely impossible for the railroad to make such through rates to stand thirty days, for the reason that steam
 shin rates which fuctuate from day to day are not within the Jurisdiction of the interstate commerce eommis- sion.
 T think you will find it about as difficult to regulate this particular matter ot through rates. especlally where said rates are quoted to foreign norts as you would find 1t to regulate l the daily fluctuations of banking ex- change where such fluctuations may he controlled in the settlement or pai ances between New York, Liverpool' Paris and Berlin" says MT.
