The move- ment 1s etill in its Infancy and much more water will run wastefully under many bridges before it crystalizes Into concrete action. theguirl th THT But it has one ecomomically hopeful outlook which the old mills lacked. Since their time electric power has becom: known ; not only known but of constant- ly widening practical use. Electric pow er can be just as surely develaved by water wheels as by steam engines and electric power, once secured, can be con- freyed 1 considerable distarkes with- out appreciable loss. The Iittle stream ‘whose waters can supply but ten or twen- ty horse-power cannot hope to com- pete, alone, with the mammoth con- structions of Lawrence, Mass, or Minne- apolis, Minn. But, on one of the four small streams of which I first spoke. so great is the descent, so steep and long the fall that at least a dozen dams could be built down its course, each one using (Written Specially for The Bulietfn) |one of the last of those small mills, Tne | (s, SN0 WoEr SUer ?z"s"f‘u’a“f’m“wei"'%?-“ % b 7 dye has faded badly but the fabric is 3 .

But they come from erable heights and have what the old millers used to call a “big fall.” As a dozen ten to twenty horse power plants. Blectrically united, these give from 120 to 240 horse-power—an amount which is not to be sneered at. Nor need things stop there. The power of the other nelghboring streams, simflarly developed and electrically combined, would bring the total up to really imposing figures.
