elections for Congress under their own

TREASTRE IT ASTED.

One would suppose that in region
first settled nearly three centuries ago.
and having as large population as New
England possesses, there would be rev
streams which had not been utilized LOT
industrial purposes, Yet the statement
was made a few days ago before the
Massa chusetts Gas and Electric LAght
Commission that within 1T5 miles or
Boston water capable of yielding 5p,ooo
horsepower is going TO waste
It can hardly be doubted that con
siderable portion of the power here rep
resented can be turned to account. Some
of the sites on which it would be deslr-
able TO construct dams might be so re-
mote from any existing highway that
the cost of conveying heavy machinery
10 them would be practically prohlbltlVe'
This would probably not be the general
rule. however. Even in the wilderness,
if the right conditions existed for install
ing water wheels and dynamos. little
else would be essential. When once a
stream had been harnessed ii could be
made to perform service scores of miles
away. Moreover, it is automatic that the
cost of power when generated on
large scale, is relatively lower than when
developed on the retail plan. A striking
demonstration of the fact was given
when the operation of electric lights,
trolley roads and variety of manufact-
uring establishments In Buffalo with
the electricity from Niagara was made
feasible. Most Of the consumers OBJ
tanned their power at q lower cost than
when they produced it themselves with
separate steam plants.

In addition to these were Mcdowell Rose
