fore.

general movement in which the
United States, New York state, and
Canadian government have joined
with industrial concerns at Niagara
Falls, is bringing about decided
change in the surroundings of the
great cataract. Acting on the recon-
mendation of the governments, the
large power companies are decorating
the shores with lawns and shrubbery,
making miniature parks of their
grounds, ana designing their build
ings to fit in with the national reser-
walton scheme.
In recent years nest of old fac
tory buildings, on the American side
OF the gorge just north of the steel
arch bridge, has been the chief offense
to the eyes of the visitors. These
factories used water power on small
scale long before the modern methods
OF power production were dreamed of,
and they were put up purely for
unitarian purposes, with no thought
OF the effect upon the scenery. Now
several OF them have been bought out
and marked for destruction by one
! OF the power companies, and more are
to follow.
The stretch of land on the Canadian
size of the falls is reservation call
ed Queen Victoria Park Nothing that
! landscape architects and gardeners
/ could do to make the place beautiful
has been left undone. Through the
cooperation of the government and
/ the company which operates on that
side of the falls, the commercial build
ings in or near the park have been
made to look like art museums or

buildings contain water-gates, turb-

resemble the natural rugged cliff. The
masonry has weathered now, taking
on almost the exact shade of the sur

trees and shrubs. of more than TWEEN

one step in the work, begun several
years ago, of giving the property a

are of dark gray stone. with simple
lines, unobtrusive in the midst of the

The problem presented by the fac
tories to the north of the steel arch
bridge, however, was the most difficult
of all to solve, because the defacing

came into existence, and the village
