CONDEMNS POWER PLAN
Canada Objects to Proposed
Dam in st. Lawrence River.
REGARDS IT AS A STEAL
Says Monopolization Is Aimed
At by U. S. Capitalists to
Canadian Detriment.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Ottawa, Aug. 9.-The Canadian COM
mission OF Conservation in a report 10 be
| issued tomorrow condemns the proposals
of interests identified with the Aluminium
Company Of America for damming the
North Canadian Channel OF the 81.
Lawrence River al the foot OF the Long
Sault River for power purposes. The re-
port is TO be submitted to Parliament
next session. when IT is expected that the
project will again be brought forward by
the Canadian interests associated with
the Pittsburgh capitalists connected with
the aluminium company, who have al
ready a huge power development on the
American side Of the river.
The company's activities in New York
State, where the power company's char
ter was attacked by Attorney General
Carmody and Governor Sulzer early this
year. are reviewed in the Conservation
Commissions report. which alleges that
the company has become identified with
Canadian corporations and is carrying on
a campaign for leave 10 dam the Cana
dian Long Sault rapids. The commission
reports that this power should not De
given 10 any private corporation. but
should be reserved for the Dominion.
II says The great possibilities Of in
Jury TO the interests Of Canada, the enor-
nous potential values Of the franchises,
the possibility that within the lifetime OK
many men now living electrical heating
will in Canada supersede in part the
burning OF anthracite coal, the certainty
that within a few years II will De possible
70 transmit electrical energy TO reach
greater distances than at present, thus
bringing Southern Ontario and Western
Quebec and the cities OF New York, Jer-
sey City, Newark, Boston, New Haven,
etc. within economic radius OF the rapids
of the ST. Lawrence-these and many
other considerations demonstrate that 70
conserve her great interests CANADA
should adopt a well considered and eau
tious policy. The proposed scheme or
the ST. Lawrence Power Company con-
templates making use of the Canadian
side of the river simply as a convenient
landing place for a dam. Only small
portion Of the total power developed VIII
be developed in Canada. Looking at the
whole scheme. IL does not appear that
any serious attempt can be made 10 show
that Canadian requirements or Canadian
interests are an appreciable factor in the
plans Of this company. The plans con-
template the complete monopollzation or
the whole power available from the rapids
with a minimum consideration Of Cana
dian interests"
The report is considered a body blow to
the scheme here

CHANCE FOR BRITISH WOOL
Reduced Duty in U. S. Will
Open Market Hitherto Closed.
fBy Cable 10 The Tribune


London, Aug. 3O.-"The Times IN
the course of an editorial this morning
on the acceptance by t. United States
Senate Of the free wool clause or the
Under-ood tariff bill. says: There
can be no doubt that the decision OF the
Senate in this matter is Of very great
importance. not only 10 the American
interests Immediately concerned, but
also TO British manufacturers and
British wool interests. both at home
and in tie dominions. and whilc de-
ferring any comment on the bill as a
whole as amended in the Senate till IL
has reached its final form, 1t may be
we'll to point out in what this impor-
lance lies so far as British manufact-
urers are oncerned.
Though substantial duties are still
imposed under the woollen schedule
now passing. this will certainly open
Up a market in the United States which
has been virtually closed by the pro-
hibitive duties levied under the Payne
Aldrich tariff. For while, at least,
the prestige Of British woollen goods,
together with the scarcity in native
goods due to a minimizing of produc-
ton while the fate of the tariff is I'M
cided, = i'll enab'n them to compete with
success with American manufacturers,
though this ompetition. owing to the
stimulus given to improvement in
American processes b. the removal Of
extreme protection, will be increasing
" difficult"

Winter Signs.


When the north winds blow
And the brown leaves fall,
And a frost-like chill
Settles over all;
And the grass looks sick
On the front yard lawn,
And the days are short
And the nights are long;
The stars more bright,
The skies more clear
These are the signs
That winters near,
When long shock rows
Of Indian corn
Like soldier tents
The fields adorn,
And wild grapes wither
On the vine,
And song birds seek
A warmer cline
These are the signs
That come each year
To remind us all
That winters near.
