Within a distance of two or three hun

willi the ureal amount of water in the
Snake, would supply a tremendous
amount of power, and would generate
sulllcieiit electricity to enable this to lie
coiiiii a ureal uiauufactiiriu center. It
would be a boon to such places as the
steam laundry and mill, and no doubt
could pump water for the city water
works cheaper than the city could afford
to. The Signal will await developments
in this matter with ureal interest, as
thu succcs-fiil consummation of the lie
