WATER-POWER STATIONS OF NIAGARA FALLS. 311
owned by the Niagara Falls Power Company,
and reserved for manufacturing purposes,
there are already more than thirty indus-
tries consuming over 60,000 horse-power, and
representing an investment in machinery
and plant alone closely approaching seven
figures.
It is, however, on the Canadian side that
the most remarkable and rapid development
lias occurred, due to the energy and enter-
prise of the Canadians themselves, and also
to the co-operation of citizens of the United
States. A great number of American firms
have built works north of the international
boundary line, all operated, needless to say,
by electric current produced by water.
