VALUE OF WATER POwER j
t - . -. -i . t. .
The unused wstor 1 powe in
the numerous streams of Union
County, if known and measured
by its capacity to produce wealth
aod'tt'fi'ndibg-eipressed tn
dollars and cents the turn
would be so 'enormously 'large
as to be astonishing. r Suppose
some one , would., undertake to
make an inventory of the wealth
producing ' elements of Union
County-he would find little dif
ficulty ( in " determining ,the
value of the soil , ' timber ' and
minerals but who cn compete
the value of bur running -water?
We are 'just now standing . at
me open aooror a new age- do-
ceuse anew element, as it were,
is taking a ootrolling position

That, element Ii 'electricity, and
and its use will make a requisi-
won upon tue, water laiis.. uas
'cadeiaud running' wlirs ttu tlie
world that is both marvelous
and enormous. The age of
steam is in its last decade of
Supsriorty when I steam was the
d jrmmanl force id , doing . the
mecanical work of the world
coaI,Va8 th; reservoir ;of po.vfer
that was drawn upon as the in-
tiatory energy Id il ctu; leam
engines at work. -t Prior to the
employment of steam'as a mov
ing force cool mines had com
parative little value, but when
the larger part of the worid's
heavy work waa per! orsned,. by
steam the value cfv coal became
so enhanced, that the' owners of
the f world! a available : supply
were tnodght' to be ' masteri of
the earthr " v
.;. Before steam became tbe do
minant power in doing the work
of the clvilixed world had i man
set forth to make' an inventory
of the wealth producing utilities
of England he' ' would ' scarcely
have given, coal aplace' on ihis
document, but when steam made
its ibnormottsly "Urge demand

rocognizeid in its coal mines line!

ith Artoci&ti0I, tor tbe Adrance-
meot of Science, presented ac
curate tatiitice, which he had
personally collected, showing
that no lees than 1,500,000 horre
power derived from waterfalls
u now being utilized in various
parti of tbe world for tbe de
elopment of eletno energy.
Of thia 'great "total,- "which- he
believed did not represent the
full truth for be thought that
the real aggregate is 2, 00 0,0 U0
horsepower, nearly one third
must be credited to the United
States" .
To generate steam to a mil
lion and a half horse power
work would require the con
sumption of 8,000,000 tons of
coal, .' , '.x
MThe era of waterfalls seems
certainly to have dawned, Every
cataract will become a focua of
industry as every river valley has
always been a center of 'popu
lation, and Professor "Bingham's
prediction that Niagara is to , be
the industrial center of America
may be fulfilled within a gener
ation." : " ' i v.- i! i- ' '
