Show Niagara Falls Already Buined. "Niagara Falls aro already ruined," says the eminent hydraulic engineer. Alton Al-ton D. Adams. In Technical World Magazine. Maga-zine. "Already enough water rights havo been granted by New York State and Canada, to divert all the water which now, falling over both the American and tho Canadian falls, makes thu great cataract one of tho natural wonders of the world. If the capitalist and promoters promo-ters who now hold franchises were all to cstnbllsh plants, the entire flow of Niagara Nia-gara river would be diverted Into underground under-ground channels; nnd tho mighty cliffs over which tho torrent now pours In resistless re-sistless grandeur would bo left rugged and bare and dry." Mr. Adams sees small hone In the proposed pro-posed treaty between the United States and Great Britain. He does not believe that Canada will be a willing party to any treaty which will cut off the great lncomo It enjoys from leasing Niagara power. Tils plan Is to excavate and deepen tho channel chan-nel lending to the American fall, which will otherwise run dry long before the Canadian or Horseshoe Falls will be at all affected. |
