The source of Buffalo’s electrical power is the force in running water,
but unlike almost every other water power it is never-ceasing. Its
supply comes from the hills and watersheds of half a continent. The
Niagara can never run dry, can never diminish in volume to make an iota
of difference. It is the narrow end of a funnel through which a
resistless force must ever flow. It is a force that will always exist.
For all time the power of the Niagara developed into electricity will
turn the wheels of industry within the great city upon its banks. No
emergency steam plants will be needed, as on the banks of many rivers,
to supply the place of failing water power. Niagara’s power is eternal.
