 1905. 27:413-417.) 



According to Mr. Adams, " Niagara Falls are doomed. Children 

 already born may yet walk dry-shod from the mainland of the New York 

 State Reservation to Goat Island, across the present bed of the Niagara 

 River. Certain economic, industrial, and political forces are working 

 strongly toward this result, and their course can be staid only by the strong 

 hand of the government."
