THE CHEMICAL HUB
OF THE UNIVERSE.
Hydro-Eiectrio Power Has Been
Key to Marvellous Industrial
Development

Niagara Falls, N. Y, June "a
The United States leads the world
in electro-chemistry and Niagara
Falls is the hub of the universe
in chemical manufacturing accord
ing to the Industrial Commission
of this city. Growth of chemical in
industries has taken place stimuli
taneously with, and has been de-
pendent upon, the development OF
cheap and abundant power from
the cataract.
The first commercial use of cleo
tricity generated from Niagara
Falls was in 1895. and the frs:
business was an aluminium plant,
transferred from Pittsburg in or
der to test the possibilities OF
this new power AT that time
aluminium sold for s. pound,
Now it sells for IS cents a pound,
and practically all of the metal
produced in the United States
use of which increased by more
than 900 per cent from 1905 to
1910--is made at Niagara Fails.
The aluminium industry at Niagara
Falls has been followed by a
score of others, including the max
ing of such hitherto unknown pro-
ducts as calcium carbide and arti-
fetal graphite, until the neigh
borhood of the cataract has be-
come the greatest chemical manu-
featuring center in the world.
OF this growth a writer in Met
allurgical and Chemical Engineer
ing recently said:
IF Germany may be justly
proud of having nursed and raised
the coal tar chemical Industries,
the United States can claim applied
electro-chemistry as distinctly
American. The bulk of these cleo
tro-chemieal industries was not i'm
ported; It was made. born, nursed

and raised at Niagara Falls. ,"
Beginning with $1,000 horse

nearly 100000 horse power is now
generated at Niagara Falls. Yet
so vast is the flood which pours
over the precipice that the water
withdrawn does not effect the beau.

This condition, moreover, is as
sured for the future by the recent

waterways treaty.
This treaty, which cannot be-
come fully operative in the United
States until the expiration of
March a, next, of the Burton law,
permanently restricts this coun-
try to use of 10000 cubic feet of
water per second. This is only
4 400 cubic feet more than now
in use, and diversion of the addi-
tional amount, in the words of Gen.
BiXby, chief engineer of the Unit
ed States army. will be ''practic-
ally inappreciable. The treaty
allows Canada use of SO, 600 cubic
feet of water per second. 1t also
removes the present limit of i60,-
600 horse power on electric ener-
gy imported from Canada to the
United States. This restriction was
made in 1905 to safeguard the
then unprotected Horseshoe cata-
ract on the Canadian side, but with

CONVENTION GETS TO
WORK AFTER DELAY

Harry Juen, chairman of the county
committee, called the Democratic
convention to order at 1890 o'clock
with a baseball bat, signifying that
the 'rough-house" marking most
Democratic conventions was expected
Juen's speech was entirely along
conditions as expressed by the base
ball bat. He said he expected trou-
BILE, but hoped when the smoke had
cleared away, that all would be unit
ed to carry the Democratic candidates
into victory and offices. Kaleipou-
lou read the official call in Hawaiian.
Chairman Juen at the conclusion of
the reading said he did not think it
was necessary to read it in English.
There were no dissenters.
The reading of the temporary roll
call followed, showing a grand total
of 900 delegates.
Chairman Juen asked If there were
any contests, stating that it would
not be customary to permit contest
ing delegates to participate in the
temporary convention.
He then announced that the conven-
ton was open for the nomination of
a temporary chairman.
Jack Kalakiela was nominated by
an anti-Jarrettite, who moved also
the nominations be closed In an up
roar which followed, a .Jarrettite got
the name of c. J. Mccarthy before
the convention as candidate. The
name was gr, oted with a storm of
cheers.
A Hawaiian NEOse name was lost
in the turmoil delivered a philippe in
Hawaiian calling for the naming of
Hawaiian chairman, inasmuch as the
Hawaiians had most of the votes.
T. J. Ryan got to his feet and OPP
posed the closing Of nominations ar
bitrarily. Juen asked if there were
any further nominations. There were
none. A Hawaiian with a Jarrett
badge wanted to know by what right
T. J. Ryan sat among the delegates
of the eighth precinct Ryan, rising
to a question of personal privilege,
said he would sit anywhere he want
ed to.
1t was moved that a committee of
three tellerS be named to count the
votes. Those named were Jesse Ulu-
hi, William Kaai and kahaleaahu-I
two anti-Jarretts and one Jarrett man.
Proxies were excluded from voting
The voting hadn't progressed far
before it was evident that the Jar
rett faction as represented by Nc
Carthy was overwhelmingly in the
majority, and the result showed it,
with a total of 1G6 for Mccarthy to

He was escorted to the chair amid
applause. He said he thanked the
convention for the honor and would
try to satisfy everybody and give a
fair deal. He said it was unfortunate

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
OPPOSES COMMISSION

The Democratic platform commit
tee, each member carrying a list of
planks he wished submitted, found on
converting that it was no easy mat
ter to agree, and as a result, after
being in session from II o'clock to 2
O'Clock, had decided upon four of the
planks offered. These are: One call
ing for the raising of the standard OF
efficiency for the Hawaiian band and
an increase in its membership. The
purchase of a building to be used as
a city hall is urged, the platform
holding that the rentals for the pres
ent quarters of the government are
too high. The platform will favor
liberal appropriation for the represen-
tatiOn of Hawaii at the Panama-Pa-
cific Exposition, with the prOyiso that
there shall be Democratic represent
tatiOn on the exposition commission.
The commission form of govern
ment for either city or Territory is
opposed on the ground that it is un-
American.
Planks which have not as yet been
considered, but which probably meet
with no opposition, are those declar-
ing for wOmens suffrage, and for rec
Ompense to citizens who suffered
through the ,antimosquito campaign,
and for the direct primary law.
