The  economical  distance  to  which  power  can  be  transmitted
extends  every  year  as  the  general  demand  for  power  increases
and  methods  of  handling  high  voltages  improve,  and  the  electric
equipment  of  steam  railway  systems,  which  is  certain  to  come  in
time,  will  open  up  a  further  field  for  the  long  distance  trans-
mission of  large  amounts  of  power  from  a  central  point.
All  these  tendencies  in  industrial  conditions,  which  have  been
mentioned,  result  in  an  accelerating  demand  for  power  from
Niagara  Falls.

An  outline  of  the  existing  status  of  the  Niagara  Falls  Power  Com-
pany's system,  describing  the  plants,  and  reporting  the  principal  applica-
tions of  the  power  generated.  The  author  takes  the  view  that  the  bulk
of  the  power  will  be  used  near  Niagara.
