LETTERS TO EDITOR
Artilleryman Is Lonesome
the Editor of The Ape-HeraId

zf5t-1IeTaTu.
AS an old reader of your paper, l
would ask you if could correspond with
some young lady or ladies. I am in the
United States army as an enlisted man
and have no lady friends. I feel very
lonesome at times, as 1 do not receive
any mail from anyone. I was raised in
the south. and if I could exchange let
tiers with some young lady in the south
believe it would make my army life
more pleasant.
If you can help me in any way it will
be greatly appreciated. Respectfully,

WHAT CANADA is DOING

HAD it not been for the war the prob
ability is strong that Canada would al-
ready have under construction a system
somewhat similar to the one recon-
mended by Mr.. Love. The intake would
be and by and by will be, at small
creek that sets in from the Niagara
river upon the Canadian side. The Can
adam plans involve the construction of
canal stretching from this intake near
Lake Erie to the brink of Lake On
tario The engineers calculated that 1t
would furnish energy ec;iigalent to some
hundred thousand horse DOVER

CONGRESSMAN PORTER'S PLAN

Several years ago the representative

part of the energy that is in these rap
ids could be secured for industrial pur-
poses If that were done the setback
from the dam would reach the foot of
Niagara Falls. The dam, according to

buying was again a factor, while it
seemed that the renewed talk of peace
prospects was bringing in a little de-
mand from outside sources. The adj
vance attracted considerable realizing

selling off to 7.62c and September to S.O9c.

IT WILL BE DONE SOME DAY

Nevertheless some day possibly not in
the far distant future, the stupendous
energy which is in the lower rapids will
be to some extent diverted SO as to make
1t possible to employ it as a motive
power for industries. Before ]. p. Nor
, gan, with others, decided to finance
proposition involving the use of some
part of the energy which is in the Nj
| agara river above the falls man of
science and of business ability whose
name was Love worked out a PROPOSE
ton which appealed to some of the engi-
neers of his day. Mr. Love planned the
digging of a canal upon the American
| side whose intake was to be near the
upper end of the Niagara river not far
| from Lake Erie and whose eastern ter
| mlnal was to be at the brink on the
American side opposite the city of Lew
iston. The construction of a canal of
this kind could be made at a cost not
prohibitive. The canal would carry
water from the upper intake the entire
distance of few miles and would con-
tain not only the energy that is in the
upper Niagara river, but that which is
represented by the Niagara Falls itself.
The Love plans were not adopted, but
some engineers are of the opinion that
it would have been better had they been
| accepted. Instead, the corporation which
was financed by ]. P. Morgan and others
adopted the plan which is now in opera
ton upon the upper banks of the Nj
agara, whereby water power which
maintains several very important indus
tries is furnished at, relatively speaking,
low cost.

To Get More Power
From Niagara Falls
By HOLLAND

By HOLLAND
New York, December 24-(SpeciaI)
Probably the nearness of Canada was
not the only reason why the authorities
at Washington have refused to permit
any utilization of the lower rapid of the
Niagara river so that water power, avail
able for the manufacture of explosives,
upon the American side of the rapids
could be obtained. A brief dispatch from
Washington a day or two ago reported
that the government authorities had de-
clined to entertain a proposition involv-
ing the utilization of some of the water
power of the lower rapids, assigning as
reason that the Canadian boundary is
not much more than a stones throw dis
tant from the point upon the American
side of the rapids where it was in con-
temptation to put up a plant for the
manufacture of explosives.
Explosives are, however, manufac-
tured elsewhere within a convenient dis
lance of the Canadian boundary and
there seems to be no substantial reason,
SO far as Canada is concerned, why mu-
milton plants should not be established
on the American side of the rapids.
In all probability the government au-
tnorities had in mind the great invest
ment of capital which is represented by
the industrial plants upon the American
side of the Niagara river above the falls.
The investment represents many millions
OF dollars and the commodities which
are there produced constitute a most i'm
portant part of American industrial life
Ii, therefore, the government were to
permit diversion of some of the mo-
tive power in the lower rapids for indus.
trlal purposes the chances are that after
the war at least such action might to
some extent impair the value of invest
ments which are now based upon the
motive power obtained from the Niagara

and brought TO this country for use
in promoting the Liberty Bond sale
This was in the front part Of the
parade which he did not sec, though he
stood for two hours watching the
throng pass. Mr.. Mntcr states that
there is no doubt as to thc New York

In support Of the war.
