UNUSED RESOURCES

New York. April 2.-Production Of
electric power in vast volume in re-
mote places, and the sale of that pow
er to railroads and cities, is the plan
of new organization to be known
as the Electrical Power Company, as
planned by grohp Of the richest
men in America.
1t is proposed to utilize mountain
streams, tidewater and low-grade
coal at the places of original supply.
Contracts will be taken to light en-
tire cities and move all the trains OF
entire railroad systems. The proposed
new corporation is expected to become
as important as the United States
Steel Corporation and will require
hundreds of millions of capital.
Its operations will be nationwide
and may include Canada. The Cana
dian Rockies are particularly rich in
undeveloped water power, and the tida
power on the Atlantic Coast is enor,
