Undeveloped Power Resources.
There are many other rivers or streams fed by the glaciers and snows of Mount Tacoma which may and will be utilized for generating electrical power as rapidly as required. The Tacoma Industrial Company has recently bought a continuous strip four miles in length, including the White River, and is making preparations to install a 15,000-horse power plant twelve miles from Tacoma. The Nisqually River, which flows into the Sound south of Tacoma, has enormous undeveloped power resources. Within thirty miles of Tacoma, at Le Grand, a station on the Tacoma Eastern, on the brink of the Nisqually Canyon, is an available and accessible water power capable of generating 30,000-horse power. Tacoma commands the use of from 150,000 to 200,000-horse power as soon as required.
NO OTHER SEAPORT IN THE WORLD HAS SUCH ABUNDANT RESOURCES OF CHEAP POWER FOR MANUFACTURING PURPOSES.
POWER IS BEING DELIVERED TO THE CITY OF TACOMA FOR PUMPING AND LIGHTING PURPOSES AT THE LOWEST CONTRACT PRICES AT WHICH POWER IS OBTAINED AT ANY CITY IN THE WORLD.
MANUFACTURERS AT TACOMA ARE OBTAINING ELECTRIC POWER AT A LOWER PRICE THAN THAT AT WHICH POWER IS OBTAINABLE AT ANY OTHER TIDEWATER PORT IN THE UNITED STATES.
TACOMA IS THE ELECTRIC CITY OF THE PACIFIC COAST.
