HARVESTING THE NATIONS HORSE POWER.
(From the Chicago Tribune)

Economic progress lies in the improvement OF
production methods, the elimination of waste ana
in the stimulation and extension OF markets WhnGIl
means distribution. With these facts in mind, the
prediction of Milan r. Bump vice president of the
National Electric Light association, that one more
generation will see this countrys entire electrical
energy coordnated in great circuit offers real
inspiration of hope for the progress of America.
A primary requisite in the advance of ciyiliza-
tion is controlled power It runs our factories, our
entire transportation system, our telegraphs anu
telephones, and lights and heats our homes, WITH
out it the whole structure Of modern civilization
would collapse in a decade. With its improvement
this structure will grow to heights beyond our
present day imagination. And this Improvement
is promised in Mr.. Bumps forecast.
1t Is vague hope 1t is becoming reality,
Already the last link is being built into a chain OF
power which probably within year will extend
from Minneapolis in the north to Louisville IN the
south and north again into Pennsylvania Such q
system can take advantage of the March and April
freshets in the power producing streams of the
south and the May or June floods of the north
1t can take coal from the nearest mines, saving
the high cost of transportation. 1t can shift the
burden from eastern Pennsylvania to western Iowa
or Minnesota the rush hours OF transporta-
ton, lighting, or other demands shift with the
change of hours.
Such a power system, supplied chiefly by great
plants situated at the most advantageous points
on water power sites and near coal mines and sup
plemented by smaller plants and transformer sta
lions along the way. will eliminate waste, improve
power itself and of the commodities which it,
fractures. IT can cut costs and develop industry
and transportation.
When the system becomes as wide as the con-
tnent and the methods of carrying electricity with
our leakage are improved as they are belng mn
proved, Niagara of New York, Kings river of Cali
forna, and the coal mines of Illinois will be work
ing together to Chicago Louisville factories
and to transport their products the Rockies
and the Aleghenies and to bring back the products
of the coasts, manufactured by power from the
same source.

real inspiration for the future. gsAl sisa

Unsettling effects Of the break

parent in wheat. although rallies
took place shortly after the open

first upturn was due to liberal
buying by a big firm that was in
receipt Of bullish crop adyices
from Nebraska. Crop reports from
Kansas and oklahoma, however,
were bearish, and the market
turned downward again.
Corn was firm as a result Of
smal1ness of rural offerings. Fa-
