Industrial Niagara 



wonderful storehouse of natural energy placed here merely as a 1912 

 tribute to the omnipotence of the Creator, or as a vital factor in gas,lz 

 the upbuilding of civilization? If the former, then we stand with 

 the Indian and prehistoric man; if the latter, then we have a 

 bounden duty as a nation to utilize this God-given gift.

An editorial on the importance of electro-chemical industry at Niagara 

 Falls and an expression of regret over the waste presented by the restric- 

 tions on power development. 



In a few days our visitors will be at Niagara Falls. Much 

 is there of which we are proud — the magnificent group of elec- 

 trochemical industries, without a parallel of its kind" in diversity 

 and magnitude, and economically of importance only to be meas- 

 ured by a realization of what the artificial abrasives, aluminum, 

 artificial graphite, caustic soda and chlorine, the ferro alloys, and 

 its other products mean to industry in its larger aspect. A bold 

 directness is perhaps the characteristic virtue of American engi- 

 neering; and a better example could scarcely be found of that 

 simplicity which is the truest efficiency than this group of electro- 

 chemical plants.
