"A Talk With the Late
George Westinghouse
By Holland

About year before the death Of
George Westinghouse. he delivered an
address in Atlanta. Ga. TO a great
gathering which represented what
was called the Southern Business
Congress This address was one of
the few which Mr.. Westinghouse con-
sented 70 make. although he was
many times invited TO speak before
important scientific or public bodies
In the course of Mr.. Westinghouse's
address he spoke of the inconceivable
wealth. as yet msleveloped OF only in
part developed. which the South pos
sessed in its water power If some
part Of the energy which Is in the
Southern streams. especially those
which flow from mountain sides, were
captured and converted into electric
energy then, Mr.. Westinghouse pre-
dicted the South would become the
greatest industrial region in the
world.
A few days after Mr. Westinghouse
returned 10 New York he told me that
he had an hour or two of leisure on
the afternoon of a certain day which
he named and that he would be GLAD
to have a talk with me about the pos
I sibility of industrial development o
the South through the utilization o
( its water power. He was enthusiastic
in his exposition not only of the enor
nous natural resources which th'
South possesses, but also the name
( in which these could be economical.

that is in wafer power converted int

had now shown how electric energ
may be carried many miles to eco
nomic advantage and then utilized 70

He said that he was certain that tn

! asked Mr.. Westinghouse n he re-
called a visit made in the spring of
1892 10 the banks Of the Niagara
river. where the work which, when
completed. was the greatest power
plant in the world was under way.
"I recall II very WE'LL" said Mr.
Westinghouse. There was a splen-
did company of men in that party"
As Mr. Westinghouse said this / in
turn recalled vividly the manner in
which these men, some of them with
worldwide regulations as scientists
and inventors, made tacit and yet
visible recognition of Mr.. Westing-
houses pre-eminence among them.
Il remember saying 20 YOU" con-
tinued Mr.. Westinghouse, that we
were going to demonstrate the FEAST
bility of capturing some portion Of
the energy which is in the Niagara
river and by means of giant turbines
convert that into electric energy
which. through apparatus invented
by Tesla, could be reduced to COM
mercial voltage and then carried
over wires to Buffalo, twenty-odd
miles away. also predicted that
Buffalo would speedily make use of
this energy for lighting and power
purposes and for haIling her trolley
cars. ] said, too. that there was nc
reason why this energy could not be
carried TO commercial advantage many
miles beyond the boundaries OF
Buffalo
We'll. we have lived to see that
prediction fulfilled and il was tn,

cess OF this important experiment al

ed the eyes Of energetic men of IN,
South. and I am as confident now tha
within a few years the South will b,
as successfully utilizing water powe
} for the creation of energy for her in
J dustries as ! was satisfied i'm 1S9
/ that the Niagara river would be mad

! plants along its banks and also 70

Dining Hall for School
Regents Provide for New Build
ing in 1918 Budget.

The Board of Regents of the Uni
versity has provided for new dining
hall for the West Central Agricultural
School in their 1915 budget. The
board met on Tuesday and made up
their budget for all departments of
the university.
The new building has been greatly
needed at the school here. 1t will
be a companion building to the two
dormitories built within recent years
and will be used as dining hall,
auditorium and gymnasium.
The regents also provided for
some other smaller building improve
ments, : and will make up their bud
get for maintenance later. The new
dining hall was the item of which
Supt. Higbie felt the especial need
and he is much pleased with the re-
cognition accorded the Morris school
by the regents-a feeling which will
be shared by the many friends of the
school thruout this section.
