WATER POWER DEVELOPMENT.

According to report of the Fed
eral Power Commission, there is
more water power development
under way ut the present time than
at any previous time in our history
During the past two years Il grand
total Of 32l applications have been
filed involving in excess of 20,O0O,-
600 horse power. which is more
tl;an twice the existing water pow
er installation of the United States.
The development of water power
in this country is only in its primary
stages. 1t is Il natural force to which
America mas paid but Scant atten-
ticn in years past, but which is GER
tin to be an important factor in the
industry of the future. Water power
is a constant iorce-a force which
will never be depleted. The po-
tcntial horsepower of OUT rivers and
streams is equal if not greater than
the entire horsepower now develop
ed by coal, oil and gas. This force
is being wasted today But it is
there patiently waiting to be harness
ed and put to work.
