Long Range water Power.

A colossal scheme of power development
is said to be on the point of realization in
France. 1t is proposed to utilize the river
Rhone for the development Of electricity
for the city Of Paris. Light, heat and mo-
tive power are promised at the cheapest
rate in the world.
The originator of the idea is an engineer
named Mahl. His plans have the indorse-
ment Of the National School OF Highways

the distance Ia bet ween $50 and 300 miles,
but no special difficulties are expected.
Some long lines Of delivery in America and
one in Sweden, supplying Stockholm from
a distance OF 900 kilometres, or $40 miles

plans, and are quoted as showing that the
enterprise in entirely possible.

There is nothing in the situation
to stimulate activity in selling. Coun-
try demand is merely of fair volume,
while on the other hand liberal supply
is offered Not many native feeders
are included in the fresh receipts and
the supply of range feeders is small.
Good natives are picked up rather
readily both by the dealers and the
outside buyers. but the common and
plain light steers again drag slowly,
as do little stockers. 1t is evident that
the pastures in the nearby sections
are not very materially frightened up
as result of the late rains, or else
prospective buyers of feeding stock in
tend holding off for awhile to await
more liberal supplies of the rangers. as
the demand from nearby quarters has
continued light this week. Eastern call
is also only of fair volume. but there
is no special complaint of dragginess
in the trade.
Some of the buyers after strictly
good steers claim the number of such

there seems to be the same promising
