WATER POWER

people are taxing an active interest in
she subject Of waterpower develop
ment. In yesterdays mail The Her.
aid received our separate commune
cations on the subject from as many
widely separated sources. Similar
communications from the same quar-
tiers have e received from time to
time. but the receipt of the assort-f
ment in one mail attracts special at,
tention.
Two of these letters are parts of
summaries Of foreign conditions, and
it happens that on this occasion in the
discussion Of general industrial con-
ditions, one deals with the develop
ment of waterpower in France and the
other in England, Scotlad and Wales.
In both countries the subject a re-
ceived a great deal of attention re-
Gently because Of the rapidly dimin-
ishing fuel supply! ~
According to the figures presented,
France has about 5000. 900 horsepow-
er of available water supply. OF this
. little more than 10 per emit has
been developed. with about 10000
horsepower in process of development
which will be completed within a
short time. The government commits
sion in charge Of the subject estimates
that within fifteen years there should
be developed 5000, 900 horsepower
additional, leaving the rest for the fu-
trre.
Great Britain is not usually regard
ed as a great watrpower country. It's
rivers are short, and usually not Of
great volume. Yet many arreams
flow through rugged country where
the descent is rapid. Recently a
commission has reported favorably on
nine schemes for the development of
1885 horsepower in the Scottish
highlands. The present letters do not
state the British power available or
developed.
One circular deals with the subject
Of w~aterpower in the United States.
According to the figures there IS
available for development in the Unit
Cd States waterpower equivalent to
4s,5s6.4so horsepower, and Of this g.
123,540 horsepower has been devel-
oped. North Dakota is credited with
10000 potential horsepower, of
which only 1000 horsepower is deve1-
oped. The development OF over g.
10000 additional horsepower is con-
templated under the federal bill re-
Gently passed.
The fourth letter comes from the
American Civic association, and 1.
devoted to arguments against several
projects which have as their object
the development of waterpower or ir-
rigation schemes within or immedi-
ately adjacent to several Of the great
national parks. Those who favor
these plans say that by raising the
level OF certain lakes and streams
within the national parks enormous
power may be generated and large
areas ofsland may be made available
Tor cultivation without impairin9 the
beauty OF the parks or rendering them
IN n way less desirable for tourists. !
The directors say that the plans con-
templAted will be r%uinous, and that |
in cases where little a~ppreciable
damage will be done at the beginning.
i commercial interests are once al
icsEed e invade the park, there will

Great growth Of radicslism is fore

mistake when You ask the state Of

righteousness to conform 10 the Mex
icau ideals with which, because Of
proximity, you have to contend In
Juarez, as you are aware, and that
means Mexico. there are no ten com
mandments to interfere with ones
personal liberty not even q prohibit
ton Of 2-75 percent against anything,
50 far as have observed. and yet you
are calling upon the great state Of
Texas TO accommodate IT'S laws to fit
sucn degrading conditions.
