Lovers of nature and of the beautiful
have, however, circumvented Industry
in effort, to divert the fail of water
to more sordid uses. When the nation
beKTn to aee that every, time a new
manufacturing enterprise found a home
oetween Lake Erie and Lake Ontario
there was a. decrease In the .flow of
water that came over the great preci
pice in Niagara river, "a 'people thought
It wise to take steps to limit such en
terprises, and-so Protect from final an
nihilation the biggest natural wcider of
this country. It has been a. stern, but
rood natured war between the commer
cial and art loving: sides of the nation
A prominent manufacturer argued very
aerlously a few weeks ago that it the
nation needed more food, or clothes, or
paper Or other articles than were be
ing manufactured. It would ,be nly
thS Just and right thing to do to divert
every drop of tha water at Niagara
to mechanical Hues, supply the people
witn the needed commodity at a low
price and. If necessary, leave the rock
tare and brown. 80 far in the con
test, however, nature lovers have wo",
and the power generated on the Amer
an side is lei- until June 29, 10,
unless further legislation, on the matter
in effected, and the secretary of war
has the right to revoke these P"'ts at
will. The campaign that brought about
this victory was led by. the American
Civic association. The press and the
people at Urge took It up. International
discussions were held, tha Burtoiract
became a law despite opposition .of
the manufacturers, and Mr. Taft, then!
eecretary of war, made a pilgrimage to
t he spot and studied the situation care-1
fully and In detail. . ,

The loss Of water from Niagara
falls lias already been considerable,

Lake Erie, and further back the volume
Is diminished by the water ia,iten irom
Lake Michigan by th Chicago dralnago
canat The volume of water passing
over the falls Is now 220.OPO cubio xeei
per second, and there is now being
rirawn off 0.000 cubio feet per second.
Tha mairlmnm n mount to be taken per
second on the American side Is 60OO
cubic M.t by the Niagara f alls Hy
draullo Power & Manufacturing com
pany, and 8S00 cubio feet by the JNiag
era Falls Power company. Power
generated on tha -Canadian side is im
ported to the American side to the, ex
tent of 1SO.O00 horse power, y-
The Burton act gives the United
States government charge of the utili
sation of the Niagara falls water power.
Congress, in exercising its right to reg
ulate interstate commerce, may control
the navigable streams of the country
without regard to who owns the bed.
On this authority It assumed charge of
Niagara, much to the disgust of ihe
users of the water, power generated
there. The opposition argued that the
rule dlon't apply in this case, that tha
falls and the whirlpool of Niagara were
not navigable. But reply to this came
that these deficiencies in tha commer
cial era were of greater importance,
anyway, being a natural boundary of
the country and a most Important de
fense. If Niagara river were abolished
tne defense of the nation would be af
fected, and in event of International
strife, Buffalo with Its millions of
dollars of shipping trade would fall
quickly Into the hands of the enemy
and a great percentage of the 5.ouo.
000 tons ot produce that pass annually
through the Great Lakes suffer confis
cation or annihilation.
Manufacturers, still sore over their
limited allowance of water, have pointed
to tne government's own diversion, of
water at the Shoshone falls In the big
Irrigation projects there, and argue that
manufacturing a commodity into food
or clothing; or furniture la quit as im
portant as making homesteads and
farms vwliere the raw, material from
which these things are made can bo
raised. But the government pursues
the even tenor of Its way in the mat
ter and doles out so many cubic feet
of water per minute to the waUr power
companies - and preserves the natural
beauties of the place for the natura
lovers and the perennial, tourist.
: Cheap rower at Si? era.
For the use of electricity, per 75 horse
rower, tha average cost In Boston is
1957 a month, in New Tork or Brooklyn
99, in Niagara Fall. 114. This'
coupled with the exceptional transporta
tion facilities, has made Niagara a par
adise for manufacturers and has in
creased th village-of 4000 or C000 peo
ple, supported by tourist trade, to a
city - of 30,001) stable population, sus
tained by growing manufacturing and
commercial industries. In its process of
industrial development, Niagara has
cheapened factory work, so that alumin
um, tor example,' is half its former
price. As It Is tsed in making govern
ment armor plate, the saving in that
one commodity is appreciable.
The 400 or mora- factories at Niagara
have, with few exceptions, doubled
their capacities since they were built,
and the 2000 horsepower output of the
earlier power houses has been increased
accordingly. By rail Niagara manufac
turers reach a wide stretch of territory,
havlnsr access to seven branches of the
New Tork Central lines, and 12 other
roads. By water they have four canal
and river outlets, and by . trolley two
international lines.. .Within a radius of
6o miles of Niagara live 50,000,000 peo

in the surroundings of the falls since
he first aaw them that momentous day

sketch he made then and had ' published
in ie, lor on the American side tne

two tenths of a foci per year.' but ths
surroundings are vastly cuirerent.

Tha Indians told the rood explorer-

the harvest field and of the chase were
placed in a canoe as a propitiation to
tha gods. A beautiful maiden was
placed in tha bow,, and as the canoe
was sent over the falls sha . chanted

one of the most pleasant and Interesting
incidents of the world cruise and went
far . toward . easing; the strained rela
tions befween the two v countries, and
although much good feeling has followed
the recent publication of the agreement
between Secretary of State, Boot and

Is immediately strengthened - little ofi
political value will result.
vvnue no diplomatic crisis is expected
to develOD between the two countries
In the near future, owing to the condi

fear Is being generally expressed among
Americana iters that the annarent sin

Seattle, Wash., Dec. 29. Dr. Frank
Masar, who lives at the Hotel Angeles,
lost his personality 'last Tuesday after
noon and did not recover It until Friday
evening. - : -' !:.
During that time he ceased, o far as
he was concerned, to be Dr. Masar and
become for- the time being William Kel
logg, repairer of automobiles.
During this time he was under the
care of his friend, Dr. W. T. Wooley.
This is the first and only case recorded
locally of a man losing his personality
and identity. While Dr. Masar has en
tirely recovered, he knows from his
medical experience that the lapse is
likely to occur again at any time, and
has made arrangement for turning over
his patients to another pnysician.ana
taking a long rest.
Neither Dr. Masar or Dr. Wooley can
account for the sudden change, except
that It was due to an attack or neural
gia,' Tuesday morning: Dr. Masar com
plained : of a neuralgic pain over his
left temple, but paid no particular at
tention to It.v He dined In the afternoon
with Dr. Wooley and returned to his
apartments. In the course of the even
ing half ft doten friends who live at
the hotel dropped Into Dr. Masafs room,
among them Miss Ella Gunnison. The
latter was going to tne uieatre tnat
evening- and she and Dr. Masar dis
cussed the play. Without warning, Dr.
Masar suddenly raised nis nana to the
back of his head and lapsed into uncon
sciousness, tn wnicn condition tie re
mained a few seconds. Almost before
Miss Gunnison realized that anything
was wrong, Dr.t Masar opened his eyes
and stared about the room with every
evidence of overwhelming astonishmeni
At first his friends thought he was
playing a joke and entered Into : his
supposed wnintsicai spirit, put after a
time it became evident to them that
Dr. Masar was acting in all seriousness.
Tholr laughter Irritated him to such
an extent that he assumed the dlarnttv
of a person who felt that he was being
insuitec ana mtroaucea rnmseir as Wil
liam Kellogg, advancing the further in
formation that he was an automobile, re
pairer and was at a loss to understand
how he came to be in the company of
me people present. -
. Dr. Wooley was sent for but could do
nothing. Until Friday night Dr. Masar
was Mr. Kellogg and as such was hu
mored when going about the streets.
Late Friday Dr. Masar resnlhitrf l,ta
former self, but did not remember any
thing that had transpired during the
four days passed.
