NOT GOLD MINES
BY HERMAN B. WALKER,

There have been few questions be.
fore congress concerning which Sc
much misunderstanding and mislnfor.
nation exists as with reference to the
pending water power legislation. The
Shields and Myers bills propose terms
under which capital will be encouraged
to build water power plants. Oppo-
nents Of these measures would pass
laws the effect Of which would be TO
discourage investment I'm these enter
prlses.
Nobody denies the importance Of our
water powers or that 1t is well to have
them put to work. To be told, however.
as the country has been told, that wa
ter powers are so important and valua-
bic hat a great trust Is seeking TO
grab and control them all in order that
1t may dominate all power using indus
tries In the country, is ridiculous to one
who knows anything Of the question.
In the first place. water power is not
always cheap power. In many sections
Of the country 1t Is cheaper to generate
electricity by steam than to develop the
local water powers. The steam turbine
and other improvements In machinery
In the last dozen years have brought
about this situation. The average cost
OF building a water power plant is from
500 to $3.50 per horsepower. Some
very large water powers can be devel-
oped for less, but they are the excep-
tons. A big modern steam plant can
be built for $40 or $50 per horsepower.
Counting interest, taxes, depreciation,
obsolescence, etc, OF this additional
investment, It often happens that 1t is
cheaper to build and buy coal for a
steam plant. The actual economy In
use OF water powers is confined solely
to the saving In coal and labor bills.
Then, too, the question Of which kind
Of power is cheaper depends very
much upon the use made of the pow
Electric current In large quaint
ties cannot be put In storage and kept
until needed. 1t must be generated at
the moment Of use. Where electricity
Is used for chemical, m~etallurgical and
other industries which run day and
night, water power may be cheaper,
counting larger interest and over
head charges. 1t doesn't cost much
more to run a water power plant con
tinuously than to run 1t a few hours
a day. The more continuously it is op-
Grated the less is the cost per kilowatt
of the current generated. Where pow
err is needed for general utility pur-
p~oses-house lighting, street cars and
industries that run only eight or ten
hours a day-the water power plant is
not economical, because its full capac-
lty, which must be used to make the
power cheap, cannot be utilized, and 1t
Is often cheaper to generate current in

cabinet would be In session at 2 and
would be pleased to grant him an au-
dience of half an hour. depending on
hts promptness in appearing.
Mr.. Blithers was not used to being
granted audiences. He consoled him
self. however, with the thought that
matters would not always be as they
were at present. There would BIO a
decided change OF tune later on.
It would be folly to undertake the
depletion Of Mr.. Blithers' first i'm
pressions OF the castle and its glo-
ries. To begin with. he lost no small
amount of his assurance when he
discovered that the great gates in the
wall surrounding the park were
guarded by respondent dragons who
demanded his "pass." After the OFF,
Ger in charge had inspected the lord
chamberlain card as II he had never
seen one before. he tremendously in

ly ajar.
Mr.. Blithers caught his breath
and from that instant until he found
himself crossing the great hall in the
wake Of an attendant delegated to
conduct him to the council chamber
his sensations are not to be described.
1t Is only necessary to say that he
was in a reverential condition, and
that ia saying q great deal for Mr..
Blithers.
He was ushered into a chamber,
at the opposite end of which was a
large, imposing door-closed. Beside
this door stood a slim, erect figure in
the red. blue and gold uniform OF an
officer OF the castle guard. AS Mr..
Blithers approached this rigid figure
he recognized a friend. and a warm
glow pervaded his heart. There could
be no mistaking the smart mustache
and supercilious eyebrows. 1t was
Lieutenant Dank.
"How do you dor" said Mr.. Blith-
ers. "Glad to see you again" His
voice sounded unnatural. He extend
I'D his hand.
Dank gave him a ceremonious sa-
lutte, bowed slightly, but without a

His alert eyes were searching the
crowd along the street. In the bal.
comics and windows with an eager
intensity. He "a looking for the
sweet familiar face Of the loveliest
girl on earth. II she were there he
wondered what her thoughts might
be on beholding the humble r.
Schmidt in the role OF a royal prince
receiving the laudations of the low
ing multitude!
Passing the Regengetz. his eyes
swept the rows Of cheering people
banked upon It's wide terrace and
verandas. He saw Mr.. and Mrs
Blithers well down in front, and for
q second his heart seemed to stand
still. Would she be with them? 1t was
with a distinct sense of relief that he
realized that she was not with the
smiling Americans.
MI. Blithers waved his hat and, in
stead OF shouting the Incompetent
sible greeting OF the native specta-
tors, called out in vociferous tones:
"Welcome home! Welcomed! Hur-
rah!"
"Oh, what o remarkably handsome.
manly boy he is. WILL" sighed Mrs.
Blithers.
Mr.. Blithers nodded his head
proudly. "He certainly is. I'll bet
my head that Maud Is crazy about
him already. She can't help IT, Lou.
That trip on the Jupiter was a god
send. Wen have plain sailing from
now on, Lou"
Mr.. Blithers indeed experienced
plain sailing for the ensuing twenty
hours. 1t was not until just before he
set forth at 2 the next afternoon to
attend by special appointment a
meeting Of the cabinet in the council
countered the first symptom OF
squalls ahead.
He had sen his secretary to the
castle with a brief note suggesting
an early conference. 1t naturally
would be of an informal character, as
there was no present business before
them. The contracts had already
been signed by the government and
by his authorized agents. So far as
the loan was concerned there was
nothing more to be said.
There was q distinct cloud on the
financial horizon. however, a vague
shadow at present, but prophetic Of
storm. 1t was perfectly clear to the
mobiles that when these bonds ma
tured Mr.. Blithers would be in a po-
sition to exact payment. and as they
matured in twelve years from date
he was likely to be pretty much alive
and kicking when the hour of reck-
oning arrived.
Mr.. Blithers was In the mood to be
amiable. He anticipated considerable
pleasure in visiting the ancient halls
Of his prospective grandchildren.
The first shock to the ~placidity of
Mr.. Blithers came with the brief note
In reply to his request for an infor-

q steam plant which can be shut down
part Of the time without % much loss
In overhead charges. .
It is like q farmer borrowing money
to buy a tractor to do his blowing. If
he has a farm big enough to keep the
machine busy most Of the time, It Is
q good investment and saves him mon
ey. II he has only a few acres to pillow,
and the machine stands idle most Of
the time, 1t would be cheaper for him
to do his small blowing with a horse.
For the reasons given a big steam
plant Is now being built In Buffalo, al
though Niagara Falls, the biggest wa
ter power plant In the world, Is only
a few miles away. Buffalo's utilities
and Industries, running only part Of
the time, can get power cheaper from
coal, while big chemical plants which
run day and night have located at Nj
agara because for their purposes the
power Is the cheapest available.
Where there are water powers that
can be developed and operated advan-
tageously 1t frequently happens that to
use them to advantage these water
powers have to be supplemented by
steam plants. In some cases n
stream will have n low water season
at a time when another stream Is run
ming In Hood. If these two water pow
ers can be united In one system IL is
possible to get a more constant and
uniform supply Of power than II they
are under SEPARATE control.

In the eight cylinder motor there are
