Greens of Buffalo Speaks Eloquently of Canada's Rapid Rise In Wealth, Population and National Importance--Public Demand the Cheapest Possible Power and Preservation of Falls. "It is not alone in manufac tures that cheap power will prove advantageous, but also in light ing, possibly in heating, and cer- tainly in many domestic uses, not alone in the great cities, but in the villages and on the farms. I believe the is not far distant when practically every house in Ontario within 200 miles of the Niagara River will be lighted by electricity supplied by the power of the great cataract. It will be running the sewing machines, the churns, the ice-cream freezers, the ventilating fans, the house pump, the knife-cleaner and sharpener, the dish-washing machine, the clothes-wringer and other parts of the laundry, and a host of other domestic utensils not yet invented, but much thought about at the present time by a multitude of in- ventors.""--Gen. Greene of Buffalo to Toronto Empire Club. Maj.-Gen. Francis V. Greene of Buf- falo, a man of national reputation in the United States as an author, mili- tary expert, and public official, ad- dressed a large attendance of the mem- bers of the Empire Club of Toronto at luncheon the other day on the sub- ject of Niagara power. Gen. Greene is president of the Niagara Construction Co. and of the Ontario & Niagara Power Co., and as such his remarks in regard to the necessity and import ance of obtaining for the people of this province in the cheapest possible manner a supply of power from Nia- gara have authoritative weight. The first portion of Gen. Greene's address was devoted to a thoughtful discussion of the objects of the Em- pire Club and the probable future of Canada and its relations to Great Britain and the United States. International Relations. "It behooves my countrymen," said the speaker, "to study these problems with 'some care and decide what is to ba their attitude toward, their neigh- bor on the north, destined so soon to be the equal in wealth and populs- tion of a great nation. I think the attitude of the United States towards Canada has, in the past, not been wise. There was a time 20 years ago when by the exercise of proper tact we might have secured the Canadian market almost as completely as our own market. As matters stand now, Canada has no favors to ask of any- one, either on this side of the Atlan- tic or on the other. As to Great Bri- tain, it has 'béen said that British sovereignty in Canada exists only so long as it is not exercised, and, while perhaps, in view of the loyal feeling now existing throughout Canada to- ward your mother country, you might hesitate to acknowledge the truth of such a statement, yet I think that in any matter which brings the ques- tion to a practical test you will find this statement not far wrong. Determine Our Own Future. "Just what your future is to be, whether it is to be in a consolidation of the British Empire, or in absolute independence as a great nation, or in some alliance with your powerful and still growing neighbor to the south, I do not undertake to say; but of this I am absolutely certain, and that is, that your future will be determined by yourselves; that you have reached the. position where you are absolute masters of your own destiny. As you work it out and as you grow greater year by year I think we, in the United States, will have the same feeling of respect and admiration for you that one strong, self-reliant, self-respecting man has for another; that your growth, although politically and commercially independent of us; cannot but be ad- vantageous to us; and that in spite of the tariffs which now and probably for a long time will divide us your growth must lead to a large trade with us, and that with the constantly in- creasing facilities for communication and intercourse there will be a con- stantly increasing intimacy and friend- ship which cannot fail to be of the highest mutual advantage." Niagara Power Possibilities. Turning to the question of Niagara power, he noted that now the street cars of Syracuse on the east and of Toronto on the west were operated by Nidgara power, and between these two points, distant 260 miles from each other as the wires run? a variety of industries in the way of light, heat and power were dependent on this mighty force. On his own side of the river publi opinion in yegard to Niagara seemed to have crystali into the cry, "Save the Falls." On the Canadian side the ery seemed to be "Transmit and de- liver the white coal at the lowest pos- gible price." He believed that the so- being worked out, Sentiment In the States.

Incidentally this law de- stroys the rights of riparian owners as they and their predecessors have believed them to exist for the last 200 years, and destroys them as complete iy es if a wall had been built at the river's edge of their property. On the Canadian side public opinion has found 'expression in the Beck law, giv- ing to the Ontario Government the right to expropriste by judicial pro- ceedings any or all powerhouses, transmission lines, and even, if de- sired, to expropriate the electric cur- rent itself, and appointing a commis- sion to regulate snd control the dis- tribution of Niagara power through- out the Province of Ontario, Two Countries Not Apart. "In the United States the main ob- has seemed to be to preserve the alls, and in Ontario to distribute the power tom the Falls; and yet, after E g £ BE i & i 3 # £ they do not believe that the Falls are in 'any danger of injury from any as possible.

"Of the importance of Niagara pow- er to Ontario," he continued, "there | can hardly be question. It is | important to New York State, but New York is . comparatively close to the coalfields and has no duty to pay on coal. Of the importance of power it self there is even less question. It is the fundamental prime mover of modern civilization. The only source | of it is the sun's energy, which has | been manifested in the past in the | formation of coal and oil and ges, | is now manifested in the tides and the | | winds, and it the future will be chief- ly utilized in the energy of falling | water, thanks te the recently discov- ered uses of electricity. The use of the energy of falling water is as old as ginning of the present century its ap- plication was limited to a few hundred yards from the spot where the water fell. Now. by converting the hy lic energy. into electricity and by put ] transmitted at least two hundred miles to advantage; and if the electrical art progresses as much in.the nexi ten years as it has in the last ten years it will be feasible to transmit it 500 miles. What Cheap Power Will De. this power for Ontario, I need only say that Ontario owns the northern shore of Lake Erie and the western bank of the Niagara River, and that Niagara power can be generated. and and Windsor at a cost less than power course, power is not the only element in the cost of manufacture. Labor, raw material, and transportation are each more important, I believe, than power as elements of cost, but the power is, nevertheless, a very impor- tant element. In ordinary manufac- tures I believe a saving of, say, one- half in the cost of power means a saving of from 5 per cent, to 15 per duct; in: the electro-chemical indus- tries, such as aluminum, calcium ear- bide, carburundum, soda-ash, nitro- genous products, and the reduction of duction of possibly 40 per cent. in the cost of the finished product. Cer- tain industries of this last named class require thé very cheapest pow- er, aad cannot stand the cost of trans- mitting it. For such industries spe- cial facilities and advantages are present in that portion of Ontario be- tween the Welland Canal and the Niagara River, having the benefit of trunk railroads, and power at a price almost unrivalled for cheapness. What Electricity Will De. "In other industries, such as agri- cultural implements, boots and shoes, hardware, textile fabrics, steel and iron works, the price of power is 4 less important factor, and the business can stand the cost of transmission to the ready developed, as they are at so many points in Ontario, rather than to stand the cost of pulling up stakes and moving down to the vicinity of the Niagara River. "It is not alone in manufactures that cheap power will prove advan- lution to these two problems was now tageous, but also in lighting, possibly in heating, and certainly in many domestic uses, not alone in the great e ' cities, but in the villages and on the went on, "public sentiment has found | farms.

A shoal of mud-minnows scatter with mervous haste, and down in the middle depth some gmall, non- descript fish seem almost fransparent in the dim light as they dart rest lessly here and there. A small sun- fish, proud of his bright colors, passes 80 close that his spiny fin seems al- most to touch the ice. As he glides out of sight there is a commotion long, dark form of a muskrat moves past with his back flattened against the under surface of the glassy cov. ering. He is trailing some bright green herbage from his mouth, and is in haste to reach one of the neigh- boring houses and enjoy a meal. He can do almost anything under the water. Even breathing is not im sible, for he will exhale a spreadin bubble of air, give it time to om a supply of oxygen from the water, breathe it in again and continue his journey. But he cannot eat under water, and so must rise in one of the ice-lined houses built during the com- fortable summer night. Away he goes through the branching and en- tangled weeds, more black than the water through which he moves, a great hurrying disturber of the silent life in the imprisoned landscape. Found In the Ruins, In the work of removing the debris from the site of the burned Transpuc- tation building on the Exhibitioa grounds, Toronto, the box containing the usual documents generally put in a cornerstone was discovered. These documents were all put in 'be box when the cornerstone of the enlargements to the buildings was laid in 1880, when the Transportation building was the main building of the Fair. There were found in the box a copy of The Globe, The Leader, and some other newspaper of that day, copies of the first prize list issued by the Exhibition authorities, a prize list for 1880 and several other docu- ments and a group photograph of Mr. J. J. Withrow, president, Capt. Mec- Master, Mr. Wm. Rennie, James Mec- Gee, manager and treasurer; Mr. J. Hallam, chairman of the Exhibition Committee, and Mr. H. J. Hill, sec- retary. Capt. McMaster and Mr. Wm. Rennie are now the only survivors of the .group. Mr. Chambers, Park Commissioner, is having all the docu- ments carefully dried and he expects they will be enclosed in the corner- stone of the new building to be erect burned.
