power each twelve-month. There
fore, if the Goat island project were
pushed to completion, and equipped
to provide a maximum of 100000
horsepower, there would be market
for every kilowatt-hour of its output
within the span of a comparatively
short while. 1t should be recognized,
however, that this scheme would, of
necessity, divert water from the Falls,
and, according to the measure of this
diversion, affect the volume and pos
sibly the scenic grandeur of the cat
aracts. For this reason the proponents
of this enterprise do not urge its adop-
ton first, but advocate, instead, the
construction of the dam farther down
the river.
AS an engineering undertaking, the
dam proposed at Fosters Flats, little
less than five miles below the Falls,
would be much more ambitious en-
terprise, and would permit of the de-
velopment of 100000 horsepower
of electrical energy. The plan is to
take advantage of the drop of 102
feet in the river level between the foot
of the Falls and the site chosen by
rearing a massive structure from the
base line to the crest of the spilway.
This barrier would raise the water
level within the impounding area high
enough to submerge the existing rapids
and modify, at the same time, the
character of the Whirlpool by making
it lager and more impressive. But
the scenic features of the Falls, them
selves, would not be altered in any
way.
At first blush, the mere suggestion
of building barrier athwart the Nj
agara river, with its minimum flow
of 100000 cubic feet of water per
second, seems little short of prepos-
ferrous, knowing that the ceaseless
food must be allowed to pass steadily
on while the proposed structure is in
course of erection. But nature is
ready to lend help which would make
the execution of such a project far
easier than one might imagine off
hand. The walls of the gorge above
Fosters Flats rise sheer several hum
dred feet from the tideway, but con-
tiguous to the Flats the gorge is con-
siderably wider and on the Canadian
side, especially, the bank slopes at a
comparatively easy gradient, termi-
mating near the river in fairly ex-
pansive low-lying area. At the same
time, the rivers path is considerably
narrower at that stretch of its run.
Owing to this state of affairs, the
Flats present a strategic base of oper-
ations from which to start the rearing
of dam. That is to say, something
like SO per cent of the contemplated
structure can be completed on dry
land before any of the work trespasses
upon the present course of the Nj
agara at that point. Let us be more
specific.
As designed, the dam has spread
in cross section of about $50 feet at
the base, and 30 feet or more of this
lower portion will reach below the
line of the riverbed and have its foot
ing on the underlying solid rock.
With a total height of 40 feet, the
dam will be of an extremely massive
character. The bottom section of the
dam-at least that half page 8, Dol. 81
The mirror., 1921-09-01

According to the existing treaty ar
rangement between the neighboring
countries, it is not now permissible to
divert for power purposes above Nj
agara Falls more than $4,000 cubic
feet of water second and for GER
tain reasons the American allotment
of this is 10000 cubic feet. 1t has
been proposed that the combined total
be raised to $4,000 cubic feet, and
that each of the nations share equally.
In other words, Canada would have
1000 cubic feet more than is the case
today while our volume of water
would be doubled. If the suggestion
be adopted, the problem will resolve
itself into governmental selection of
such of the proposed installations as
would be apt least to mar the great
natural spectacle, while giving the
largest yields in energy and involving
the fewest engineering difficulties of
a debatable sort. The Goat island
scheme meets these desiderata in many
particulars, and makes instant appeal
to us, inasmuch as it would be located
on our side of the river.
Goat Island would not have en-
dured for ages in the erosive sweep of
the Niagara but for the fact that is is
an integral part of the massive ledge
there underlying the river, and this
has a very important bearing upon
power development at that point.
From the crest to the base of the
Horseshoe falls is drop of about 165
feet, but the plan is to increase this
head to substantially 200 feet by
lengthening Goat island. From east
to west, along its major axis, the is
land is today $500 feet long, but
there is nothing to prevent extending
it. 900 feet by raising above the sur
face of the river the slightly sub
merged area at the upstream end.
By doing this it would then be
practicable to drive the tunnels from
water level to water level at moder-
ate angle and so insure difference in
drop of about 200 feet between the
intake and the discharge ports of the
conduits. At the same time, the bores
in their entirety could be cut through
solid rock. Each aqueduct, when fin
ished with concrete lining, would
have an internal diameter of 20 feet,
and the descending waters led by it
would be capable of developing 100,-
900 horsepower through the medium
of suitable turbo-generators. AS now
projected, only two tunnels would be
excavated at the outset, furnishing
100000 horsepower, but the physical
conditions will ultimately permit a
larger number.
In sinking the tunnels it would be
a relatively easy matter to rear Golfer
dams to hold the river at bay during
construction work; and the only sub
aqueous excavating of rock would be
that required for clearing out the fore
bay. To screen the tunnel intakes
from logs, ice, etc, there would be
built an L-shaped reinforced concrete
wall, rising from the ledge of the
river bed to a sufficient height above
the surface to divert floating objects
