colorado is taking a leading part in
this age Of power, as it has been so APPLY
named said Michael NJ CASSIDY, OF Den
yer, colo. who was seen at the Raleigh
last night
Following the first natural power
forces-falling water and propeIling wind
came the age Of steam. comparatively
modern. in which the utilization Of the
stored energy in fuel was made practica-
ble," continued Mr.. Cassidy, who is in
terested in mining enterprises in Colo
RADIO. Now comes electricity-an agent
and not a natural source Of DoWer-to
displace steam Water supplies the
primal force; electricity. that mystifying.
enSine-driving fluid. IS the result.
Running 70 waste for centuries, in the
tortuous gorges OF the Rocky Mountains
there are rushing. tumblng streams that
are capable Of supplying sufficient power
10 run "a large part OF the mills the
mines. and the railroads OF the nation
when a safe method Of continuous distrl-
button is found
In Colorado argued Mr.. Cassidy the
Central Colorado Power Company already
mas subdued two power-producing
streams To its viii and has solved the
problem OF distribution SO far as the
states local needs are concerned It's
system Of power transmission is the. most
daring ever attempted IN the United
states, and it is the most successful.
And the work has only just begun.
In the days Of wind. water. and steam
each individual user had TO make his
own power NOW, with electricity and
the development Of great transmission
lines, the size Of the power plant IS no
longer confined 10 the needs Of the ir5f-
.vidual consumer. Nor need the mine. or
mill. or tramway, or any other industry
be near the source OF its power. The
Central Colorado Power COMPANY is
demonstrating every day that tie fac
tory and the mine and the city lighting
plant can be operated from mower
source more than 10 miles away. Science
and engineering ingenuity VIII add 20 thu
distance az which this potential power
may be used. The possibilities are with
out limit, not only in Colorado. bur fra
Ian parts Of the United States-even right
here in Washington"
