The power Of water is greater than
anyone without experience can imag-
inc. For many of us have, when in
blow with the flat of the hand, or when
learning to dive, struck the water flat
instead of head firlt, only to learn that
the liquid offered considerable resist
ance.
A stream from fireman g hose will
knock a man down. The jet from the
nozzle in placer mining in the west
cats away large piece of land in
day, and toys with great boulders az
if they were pebbles.
There is a story of an eastern black
smith who came west and made bet
that he could knock hole through the
Jet from one of the nozzles with a ham
mer. He lifted his arm, swung the
sledge and came down on the ten-ineh
stream with force that would have
dented an anvil. But, the jet, never
penetrated, whisked the massive ham
mer out of the blacksmith 3 hands,
and to sed it several hundred fee. away
into the debris of gold bearing quartz
beneath n erumbling cliff.
There is a power plant near Durango,
Colo, where United States cavalry
man one day thought he had an easy
Job in cutting two-inch stream of
water with his sword. He made a val
ian, attack. The result was that the
sword was shivered in two, and his
wr"t broken.
y little thinner jet of water, descend

Grenoble, Spain, and travelling at the
moderate speed of 100 yards second,
fractures the best blades of Toledo.
If it were possible to surround bat
tleship with an inch sheet of water suf.

the largest bomb shells better than tho

THE POWER OF WATER

Those who look into the future with
prophetic eyes predict that an age of
water power is dawning. They point
wisely toward the great wuterpower
developmnts already completed or in
course Of construction all over the
world, from the rivers of Maine to the
canons of California, from Alaska to
Argentine, and from the Kashmir Val
ley in India to the outle. of Victoria
Nyanza, in Africa. And they back up
their arguments with statement that
coal will be exhausted early in the cen
fury, and that mineral oil and natural
gas will vanish with the coal.
Amid all this prognosticating and ar
guing arise a hot of questions about
this water-power which is to keep us
from freezing in the next century, to
turn the wheels of our industries, to
prepare the food, and ITO run our ve-
hicles.
Every stream of running water, from
the trout brook sporting through II 3
farm meadows to the largest river is
capable of producing more or less pow
er. A hundred years ago, when steam
power was still in its infancy, water
power was quite extensively developed
in this country, but the steam engine,
with cheap wood and coal fuel quickly
reached the practical stage, and the old
cover shot" and "under-shot' water
wheels were abandoned. Up to few
years ago it was not practical to de
velop most wate- power because the
power had to be utilized on the spot,
and very naturally the best water falls
were located in the wilderness, scores
of miles away from the seaports, the
railroads and the cities which needed
them. But the invention of the cleo
f.ric transformer changed all this and
made it possible to trani7mit this energy
for hundreds of miles without serious

Big BOARD OF TRADE MEETING

and as yet the committee has been un-
successful in its efforts. He spoke of
needing some twenty five or thirty men
with two or three hundred dollars each
and gave Andy Gallo the idea tha. the
committee might give the small fell
lows 4 chance. He said there are many
who could give small amount, and
who are just as anxious to help as the
larger fellows. His ideas were good
ones and the committee viii follow his
suggestions.
The annual election of officers was
taken up and after Joe HUM had spok-
en- of the growth of the board of trade
during the past year, he recommended
that the same officers be retained in
office. His IDEAS met with the general
approval of those present and the List
given above was elected. Owing to the
fact that Glenwood is represented in
the National congress, the members of
the board of trade decided to create
new office, that of honorary president,
and make Hon. Edward It. Taylor the
first to hold such a place on the board.
With the appointment of Austin Gavin
and Frank Hayes as committee on en-
tertainmem., the board adjourned to
meet again in April at which time
Major DeLan, w. S. Parkison and DR..
Mccartney will have charge.
