WATER POWER BILL
HAS BEEN SIGNED
Opens Up Vast Resources.
Measure Had Been Ten
Years Pending.

Washington.-Th water power de
velopment bill, ten years in the max
ing, passed by congress just before
adjournment, has been signed by
President Wilson, it was announced
Friday
Accompanying the announcement
was a statement that the president had
acted after being advised by the attor
ney general that adjournment Of con.
gress had not deprived him of the ten
days allowed by the constitution for
the consideration Of measure
The new law releases power for al
most unlimited industrial development
in this country and is considered one
Of the most important laws enacted
during the Sixthy-sixth session.
By its terms a commission, COM
posed of the secretary Of war secre-
tary of agriculture and secretary of
the interior, is authorized to lease wa
ter power rights on all public lands,
or reservations, Indian reservations
and on navigable streams for terms
not exceeding fifty years. At the end
of the lease period the government has
the option of taking over the plants
that have been built at an appraised
valuation, or releasing or of leasing to
some other concern.
Inquiries received by the depart
ment of the interior indicate there will
be an immediate rush of capitalists to
obtain leases The water power COM
mission is authorized to specify the
royalties on the leases that will be
charged.
The effect of the law is expected to
be particularly noticeable in the West,
where undeveloped water power sites
are plentiful
1t is estimated that the potential
horse power available on the sites
under government control is $4,000
900, which is more than the total OF
100000 horse power now in opera

1t is expected factories will start in
various Western points. calling opera
tives from the overcrowded Eastern
cities. An early result. it is predict
ed, will be the identification of rail-
roads, conserving coal and oil. which
are becoming scarce and costly.
The final approval of the water
power bill marks the end of years of
agitation. Persons favoring conserva-
ton of government resources have in
sisted upon extreme care to protect
federal rights. The bill as passed was
drawn by government attorneys. who
believe necessary protection Is given,
at the same time permitting Industrial
