  Grasse 
  river. 
  The 
  next 
  stream 
  is 
  Grasse 
  river, 
  which 
  drains 
  a 
  

   long, 
  narrow 
  catchment 
  area 
  lying 
  between 
  Oswegatchie 
  and 
  

   Raqnette 
  rivers. 
  The 
  channel 
  of 
  Grasse 
  river 
  is 
  parallel 
  to 
  the 
  St 
  

   Lawrence 
  throughout 
  the 
  whole 
  eighteen 
  miles 
  of 
  its 
  course. 
  For 
  

   several 
  miles 
  it 
  is 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  by 
  a 
  neck 
  

   of 
  land 
  about 
  four 
  miles 
  in 
  width. 
  The 
  Long 
  Sault 
  rapids 
  of 
  

   the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  river, 
  comprising 
  a 
  fall 
  of 
  about 
  50 
  feet, 
  occur 
  

   within 
  this 
  reach. 
  This 
  fact 
  has 
  been 
  taken 
  advantage 
  of 
  for 
  

   the 
  construction 
  of 
  an 
  hydraulic 
  power 
  plant 
  by 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  

   Power 
  Company. 
  A 
  canal, 
  three 
  and 
  one-half 
  miles 
  in 
  length, 
  

   has 
  been 
  cut 
  across 
  the 
  divide, 
  by 
  which 
  water 
  is 
  diverted 
  from 
  

   near 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  rapids 
  to 
  a 
  power 
  plant 
  on 
  the 
  bank 
  of 
  

   Grasse 
  river. 
  After 
  using, 
  the 
  water 
  is 
  turned 
  into 
  Grasse 
  river 
  

   for 
  a 
  tail-race; 
  35,000 
  horsepower 
  is 
  developed 
  under 
  a 
  head 
  

   of 
  42 
  feet. 
  The 
  catchment 
  area 
  of 
  Grasse 
  river 
  above 
  Canton 
  

   is 
  113 
  square 
  miles 
  and 
  637 
  square 
  miles 
  above 
  its 
  mouth.
