Perhaps the most successful numbers were the “Kisses" song, by little Percy Mulhern, who sang very sweetly and greatly pleased the aud- ience, and Jack Fullerton's “In the LiVes of Famous Men.” In the lat.- ter Jack had, as in other years a number of verses of incidents ithat happened in the lives of famous men of Lindsay, and as he rolled off verse VV- -wâ€"i D.

Mr. Smith concludes that 50,000 to 60,000 horsepower is all that is likely to be transmitted westward from the Falls and vicinity for some years to come, unless the steam rail- ways turn to electric traction on their trunk lines. Should they do so, the requirements for Ontario that could be conveniently served from the Falls .and vicinity would be raised to 100,000 or 120,000 horse-power. Even this would be a small part of the total pos sible output of the plants now in exist- ence and in course of construction and enlargement. The capacities of these plants are given by Mr. Smith as tol- lows: The Cataract Power Co.. at De- cew Falls. 16.000 horse-power now de- veloped. which it is proposed to in- crease to 40,000: the Canadian Niagam Power Co. has a 100,000 horse-power plant. has now 30,000 horsepower on sale. and 20,000 additional ready to in- stall-60.000 altogether. Of which 40.- 000 will be available for sale: the Electrical Development Co. is building a 105,000 horsepower plant. and at present contemplates 40,000 horse-power of machinery. of which 15,000 horse-t power will be ready to transmit to To- ronto and vicinity in about fifteen months; the Ontario Power Co. has 60.000 horse-power development nearly complete, 30,000 horse-power ot’ mach- inery being new under test. and 40.000 horse-power additional soon to be add- ed. The last-named company has head-works built for 180,000 horse- power. Niagara Power. Power being produced at Niagara Falls, what are the chances for its use? One loss incidental to a general adop- tion of it would be the discarding of a steam plant that still has some effi- ciency. Mr. Smith does not think that the item on that account will be so large as many people suppose. Steam plants will be kept in factories. where waste can be used as fuel, and where the st'eam is required for other than power purposes. “But for lighting. electric railways, pumping and for a large proportion of mills and factories. especially new ones, Niagara power will dominate an area in Ontario roughly bounded by Toronto. Guelph. Water- loo. Strati’ord. St. Mary’s. London, St. Thomas and Simcoe. Beyond this it is not probable that it can successfully compete with power generated in an economical manner from cheap coal. oil or gas." It will surprise most pea pie to learn that the City of Buffalo, with a population of nearly 400,000 people, uses only 35,000 horse-power of the energy produced at the great Nia- gara works, which are but 22 miles away. It was thought that electrical power would be largely substituted for steam power in that city. Buffalo's coal consumption after seven years’ competition from Niagara power is only lessened 4 or 5 per cent. But, as Mr. Smith adds, Buffalo has very cheap coal. and probably the greater part of the tonnage does not go to manufacturing. ' Power Resources. North and northwest of a line roughly drawn from Kingston to Oril- lia the forest still predominates. and. says Mr. Smith. it always will. Hence throughout New Ontario. which makes up three-fourths of the province, the streams are likely to keep up’ their present rather equable flow, instead 91 swelling into torrents tor a few days" or the spring and shrinking into rivu» lets for the rest of the year. As to the central portions or the province, the writer expresses the opinion that tracts unfit for cultivation. as in the northern part of Hastings or Adding- ton. should be retorested. This is in accord with the recommendations or the Ontario Forestry Commission. which reported on the subject some time ago. “Broadly speaking.‘ says Mr. Smith. “we have many millions of horse-pow- er ot water running to waste all over the province. and at the same time mil- lions of dollars going out or the pro- vince annually to buy coal in Pennsyl~ vania. and far greater millions to buy manufactured goods made up and purchased in places where power is cheap and labor plentiful." -1, is low enough to ensure very cheap power to consumers. Mr. Smith men- tions 3. recent sale at $12.50 per horse- power per year at the transformer sta- tion. This rate calls for a practically continuous delivery. To minimize the loss in distribution over long distances the transmission voltage has been steadily increased. Ten years ago it steadinyâ€" lhcreased. Ten_ years ago It was 10,000 volts; now it is 60,000 volts. and is in an experimental stage. of 80,000 volts. The cost of plants, according to Mr. Smith's computation. varies from $50 to $100 per horse-power capacity. The plants at Niagara Falls and vicinity come well below 8100. Cost of main- tenance. operation. and current capital charges have to be added. but the total expenditure on account of production man of the Temisnmlng und‘ North- ern Ontario Runway Commission he is supposed to ,be carefully observing the natural power centres on‘the route and examining into the comparative econ- omy of steam and electricity as the omy of steam and electricity as we motive power of the road.
