Among the great events in the history of industrial enterprises the turning of Niagara’s water power into electric force is one of the most portentious.
A vast field, teeming with wealth, lies open to our view, and the tremendous possibilities--nay, the certainties--for Buffalo are sharply defined. If one tunnel can be constructed, so can two, or a dozen, or a score. Power will keep pace with the demand for it--power cheaper than any other on the face of the earth--and, as it can be easily transmitted, it will be chiefly used where it can be best used, and that is, where the acme of shipping facilities is found and must always concentrate, in Buffalo.
The thunder of the Niagara will remain where the waters leap, but its swift lightning is Buffalo’s.
