with a corresponding benefit to the power interest;.

traneinitte to list Arthur and Fort William. The Cora-
anada will play an important part in the first World
Power, Conference that is to be held in London,
England, from June .80th to July 12th, and this because
after the United States, she possesses greater potential
water powers than any other country and °because in
point of per capita production of electric poser Rhe
stands almost at the head of all nations, her production,
in this respect being throb times greater than that of the
United, States.
This is rapidly becoming the eledrie age, a fact which
the impending Conference, which is being held under' the
auspices of- the British Electrical ical and Allied Manu-
' Association, ssociation, in co- eration with several of
- the 'most technical, scientific and industrial institutions
throughout the World, emphasizes greatly. The Cana-
