To Save Niagara.

The report Of the American members OF
tic International Waterways Commits
sion, submitted 10 Secretary TAFT and
made public Saturday, will no DOUBT
mark an important step in a definite ana
concerted effort toward the preservation
of Niagara Falls. That it is high time
for sucl, an effort the commissioner S
report makes very plain. Thanks to tho
concessions of complacent or CONNER
cially minded Legislatures, the snoiliation
of the Falls in the interests of the power
plants has proceeded at a lively gait.
The normal discharge over the so-called
American fall for example, is about o7So0
cubic feet per second Outstanding grants
authorize the diversion Of q total of
"6,7oO cubic feet per second over
this fall. II the entire volume
Of water already granted should lie
taken from, the American fall, that
,rarnificent cataract would be wholly
wired out; but 1t seems probable ac-
cording to the report, that only a part Of
This diversion will lie at the expense Of
the American fall. The commissioners
estimate that some fivc-slx,hs Of the
withdrawn water would probably come
from the Horseshoe Fall. Tho water al
ready withdrawn, from the falls as Il
whole amounts to 1890 cubic feet per
second, and this depletion. We believe,
has had an apprecinblc effect. total of
$1,000 cubic feet is. however, already au-
thorized $1,000 Of which are to come from

amount has been taken off. 1t Is easy to

The report also makes plain that har-
Messing Niagara has proved very profit
able occupation. The New York State
Legislature. with a fine observation-disclosures
in giving away what 1t had no moral
title to has handed over free gratis some
10000 horsepower to fortunate corpora

national asset with not even any cash
consideration for the State. Canada, more
husiness-like in its spolintion, will receive
$4,000 a year for the 4l5ooo horsepower
authorized on her sIde OF tho river. Canada
has rightly assumed that II the falls arc
to go, the people might as we'll get some
thing for them.
rho commissioners arc of opinion that
The $500 cubic feet per second already
authorized from the American side will
have to stand, because of tho expense
to which the franchise holders have CONC
in anticipation of It. They recommend,
however that further diversion be pro-
hibited, ana that an agreement be Of
