The new Niagara. (Harp, w., Jan. 3, 1903. 47:pL 1,11,31.) 



A discussion of existing and contemplated projects on both sides of the 

 river. According to this author, " the utilization of Niagara below the 

 Falls is in reality something to be discouraged, from the aesthetic stand- 

 point, as it leads to the placing of buildings and plants at some of the 

 most picturesque spots in the gorge. The utilization above the Falls, a 

 mile or two back, offends no one's eye and cannot be detected save by 

 the white foaming tide that shoots out from the portal of the long tunnel 

 just under the first bridge."

 March 13, 1903. 



Of all the water power developments that marked the close of 

 the last century none was on so large a scale, none has attracted 

 such world-wide interest, and none is of such importance to citi- 

 zens of Buffalo and its vicinity as the utilization of the power of 

 Niagara Falls. It is true that the power of this river was used as 

 early as 1 725 when the settlers operated a saw mill on the rapids 

 above the Falls, but it was not until after the year 1890 that 

 power development at Niagara assumed more than a local
