RANDALL BRANDS OF GRAPE JUICE 
For some time we have been sampling special makes of the un¬ 
fermented. brands of grape juice, and have been much taken with 
one kind called Randall’s Carbo-Grapo. This is pure grape juice 
livened up by the addition of carbonic gas. It is simply the 
“charged” or carbonated form. The criticism has been frequently 
offered that grape juices lacks spice and snap, are insipid, in fact. 
This may be true of brands which have.been boiled excessively, and 
it was to overcome this possible defect that Mr. Randall devised the 
carbonated brand. As a basis for non-alcoholic punch, this carbo- 
grapo type is especially useful. It is manufactured by the Randall 
Grape Juice Company, Ripley, Chautauqua County, New York. 
It looks like a shortage of the good old staple eastern 
apple, the Baldwin, this year. The Baldwin “bin,” is 
located in Western New York. It will not be quite empty 
this year, but far from full. 
Ben Davis is being planted in Western New York despite 
much advice to the contrary. The growers seem to want 
fruit early—even though poor of quality. 
NIAGARA AGAIN IN DANGER 
Washington, D. C.,— Forty million dollars worth of 
capital is fighting for the possession of one-quarter of the water 
flowing over Niagara Falls. This statement, issued from the 
Washington headquarters of the American Civic Association, will 
be news to those who have believed that Niagara is safe against 
threatened depredations and despoilations. The slogan of the 
campaign now in progress under the direction of J. Horace McFar¬ 
land of the Association is an appeal to the “real owners” of Niagara, 
the people, namely to get together and help push the so-called 
Burton Resolution through Congress before Jtme 29th. 
The situation is peculiar. The Waterways Treaty with Canada, 
signed January ii, 1909, while apparently limiting the amount of 
water which might be taken from the Falls, has on the contrary 
increased this diversion. The power developing companies have 
taken advantage of the outside limitations of the Treaty, and 
to-day are demanding what will come to 68 per cent more water 
than is now being drawn into the tunnels for the purpose of turning 
the giant turbine engines. Next Wednesday, the loth instant, 
the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations will have before it 
joint resolution No. 3, offered by Senator Burton of Ohio. This 
resolution has been prepared in order to save Niagara from the 
interests which are attempting to wrest additional free power for 
their private use. If the statu quo of the water flow is to be 
preserved, the Burton resolution must pass both houses without 
amendment. Otherwise, say the friends of the Falls, operations 
inimical to the welfare of Niagara will be started up according to 
plans already maturing. 
It is estimated that the failure of the Burton resolution will 
mean an increased income of approximately .$5,000,000 annually 
for the companies back of the opposition. The method by which 
the amount of water necessary to yield this enormous return can be 
taken under cover of the law is simple. The Treaty has established 
what is known as a “maximum limit of diversion” of 56,000 cubic 
feet per second; that is to say, 25 per cent of the average flow of 
222,400 cubic feet per second, and 30 per cent of other ordinary low 
water flow of 180,000 cubic feet. These amounts were allowed for 
diversions for the specific purpose of “power production.” But, 
further, the Treaty places no limit on the amount of water that may 
be taken for “sanitary and domestic” purposes, thus leaving the 
Way open for still greater diversions. The new enterprises ready 
to start up work on this basis, together with the increasing diversion 
sought by the existing plants, fully warrant the general alarm lest 
the “National ownership” of Niagara shall, whether wholly or in 
part, pass into untrustworthy and irreverent private hands.
