nayia which led the DuPont & DeNe- mours company to make proposition to the war department nearly two years ago, which, if adopted, would by this time have put the government in possession of all of the nitric acid that 1t needs for war purposes. The Will mington company should have ad- yanced all the capital needed for the establishment and operation of great plants, provided the government would permit it to utilize some part Of the great water powers on one of the gov ernment reservations The company was willing that the government should supervise and regulate the con- struction and operation of this water power plant and should even f1x the percentage of profit which the com pany would receive for it's product Furthermore, the company did not ask for a perpetual lease of the water power. believing that the people should still retain the title to it. Congress paid no heed to this proposition.
 1t is believed however, that the leadership of President Wilson in the work of utilizing this ineXhaustible re- source that is now going to waste will result perhaps speedily, in such gen. oral legislation as will be sure to per- suade private capital to make invest ment in the establishment of water power plants whose energy can be con- verted into electric energy for the op- eration of some of our leading indus tripS

 INDIANS IN MEXICO
Was Passenger on Train Attacked, But Escaped After Suffering h.
 dignities From Yaqui Band

 The report says the Yaquis placed an obstruction on the track over which the engine and the cars carrying the mill. tary escort passed safely, but the pas- senger coaches were uerailed. The In- dans entered the coaches, killing the passengers in their seats. Fire, placed beneath the cars. failed to burn them.
 The engine was cut loose and run to Lencho station, where Mexican troops were loaded and carried back to the wreck and drove the Indians away. Indians reaching the consul is that 300 Yaquis were in the attacking party. It appears that of the 80 passengers or the train only seven escaped unharmed

WATER POWER IS
 NOW APPRECIATED
By HOLLAND

New York, January 4.--(Special) Governor Whitman of New York is at this time making special interest in Various projects which have for their purpose the development, of the great water powers of New York state. The governors attention was called few days ago to a statement made by an eminent engineer in which it was said that if the state of New York had availed itself of only 50 per cent of it's water powers there would havc arisen no serious crisis such as for some days has prevailed throughout the state on account of the shortage of coal.
 From New England comes report
 that the development of the water powers of the Connecticut river, near
 Brattleboro. Vt, has been of special
 service at this time, for 1t, in some
 measure, relieved anxiety due to the
 prevalent coal shortage in New Eng
 land, The Connecticut River Water
 Power company is of such magnitude that it is able to deliver power to the many factories in the Connecticut val ley, some of them 100 miles distant from the power house. This is done without the expenditure of pound of coal.
 Correspondence from Washington to the Manufacturers Record at Balti- more reports that not for sometime l will there be any legislation for the l purpose of developing American water powers because the Congress is dis ! posed to await the organization of the | federal water power board.
 1 Nevertheless there appears to be growing throughout the country d strong disposition in favor of the wise gislation whereby private capital can without impairing public interests and | operating under federal supervision ! make use of some of the great water | powers so that adequate energy may 1 be furnished industrial plants with. l out the burning of any coal
 l It is reported here that this new i'm 1 pulse is directly traceable to the sue. cess which has followed the develop ment Of water powers in some parts l of the south. So successful has thi! 'l been that various industries there are
 50 far as the operation of their owr plants is concerned, not concerned i about the shortage of coal

A most pleasing vaudeville enter tainment will greet the Saturday aft ernoon matineegoers at the Lyric this afternoon. Tom Browns Blackface Revue includes singers. good dancers and clever comedians. Barto and Clark present a unique and novel dancing and singing act and it is a feature of the programme. The act opens in a talking machine salon and the two entertainers are concealed in the ma chimes. They keep up an entertaining line of chatter and the act is re- splendent with graceful dancing.
 Josephy l.. Browning is riot in "a timely sermon,' great laugh ve hicle. There is nothing but comedy in this act and it is big hit of the bill. The Edah Delbridge Trio are extraordinary singers and possess ex- cellent voices. They render most pleasing programme of operatic se- lections. Crawford and Frederick in "a little bit of that and little bit of this" are very pleasing entertainers. The Mutual reel life pictures are in teresting and entertaining.

THE PRESIDENT ACTS AT ONCE

President WWilson therefore, it is understood, recently decided to talks this matter into his own hands using such power as he possesses. He has had conferences with the Secretaries of War. Agriculture and the Interior, and these conferences have made it pos sible for him to work out a plan whereby federal water board will be created which will direct admin
 istrative action so far as all the gov ernmental water powers are con- cerned.
 The Scandinavian peninsula has so
 thorc aghly utilized it's water powers
 that the various plants that have been established in Norway and Sweden now furnish the equivalent of 100000 horse power In Scandinavia there is iron of excellent quality and of vast amount, but there is little coal. and that is the
 reason why iron ore from that penin- sula has been sent. sometimes to Eng land and before the war, to Germany, for such treatment as would produce metallic iron. Now, with great devel : cpment of water power the Scandina- , vians will be less and less dependent on England or other nations for treat ment oT their iron ore. since their water powers will take the place of l coal.
