Show New Method Is Found to Carry Electricity ! (B) International v-w. service) WINNIPEG. Can . Sept 4 Professor Profes-sor J W Dorsey, of the Unl erslty of Manitoba has announced after an exhaustive ex-haustive survey of the water power ( resource? of Winnipeg river that he ! has discovered a new method of trans-mtttlng trans-mtttlng electric power which will re-Iduce re-Iduce the cost one-half He will go to ' Washington. D. C . w here he has been i called to lay his discovery before the ', United States bureau of standards. "Long before the coal fields r)f the j world are exhausted electricity will have supplanted coal as the universal fuel in homes and the inotie power In Industry.'' said Professor Dorsey "B the development of water power It is possible to do away with the necessity for coal. If the potential water power of Winnipeg rler. wero developed it would be sufficient to turn ever factory wheel in Canada and heat every home and office In Winnipeg Win-nipeg even if the temperature re-, ; mained at 40 degrees below zero all i the year round. It would be vastly cheaper for Winnipeg to obtain its 'electric heat and power from AVlnni-, AVlnni-, peg river eighty miles than to haul1 coal 1,400 miles from Pennsylvania I With such an immense suppl of cheap power to draw upon Winnipeg must I Inevitably develop into one of the .great manufacturing centers of ffllfti I Canada."
