In addition to this the bulletin says that the Pacific Gas
& Electric company, of San Francisco, has completed a 37,
500 KW steam plant that delivers electricity to the distri
bution lines of the company cheaper than its hydro plants
situated at some distance from the city.
This information comes as a surprise to the uninitiated'" wu" "iiovcd that the overflow

ably has its explanation in the more rapid advance in scienti

to reduce the losses in electricity when carried a long dis
tance over high transmission lines. The electrical engineer
has learned much about the use of coal nnd oil as fuel in the
last few years and he has apparently surpassed the advan
tages of generating by hydro-electric methods.
This would not indicate, we think, that our water power
resources will cease to be of value. It does indicate, how
ever, that much progress must Ixs made in using this re
source to a more economical advantage. Not all racing moun
