The Golden Belt Railroad, fifteen years ago, used to print a guide-book called "California and Back," in which were set down the places of interest to the traveller. In that book Sycamore Ridge was described thus: "Sycamore Ridge, pop. 22,345, census 1890; large water-power, main industry milling; also manufacturing; five wholesale houses.
"Going to organize a water-power syndicate of your own after you get legislation that will give you a clear field against outside capital?" "No no, most positively!" "Senator Corson, you claim you know Morrison better than I do. How much is he lying?" "I think he means what he says." North picked up his overcoat and plunged his arms into the sleeves.
March said that by raising the whole dam a few feet the water-power would be greatly increased, and would be sufficient to run a saw in addition to the machinery already on hand. He also said that he knew of an abandoned saw-mill a few miles up the river, the machinery of which was still in a fair condition and could be bought for a trifle. The result of what he saw and heard was that Mr.

We set off on a round of inspection, the burning mid-day sun here tempered by a delicious breeze. We first visited the olive-presses and corn-mill this farmer was village miller as well as olive grower all worked by water-power and erected by himself at a heavy outlay.
Silas Daunt is among the men I'm fighting. I'm exactly where I was before Mr. Daunt talked to me. I propose to lick a water-power monopoly in this state if it's in my humble power to do it.

Subject to the right to retake in time of war, I recommend that this property with a location for auxiliary steam plant and rights of way be sold.

The Federal Government should seriously devote itself to this task, realizing that utilization of waterways and water-power, forestry, irrigation, and the reclamation of lands threatened with overflow, are all interdependent parts of the same problem.
The forests include 1266 irrigation projects and 325 water-power plants, in addition to many other power and irrigation companies which depend on the Government timberlands for water conservation and the regulation of rain water run-off and stream flow. The National Forests aid greatly in conserving and making available for use the precious limited rainfall of the arid regions.
"That the water-power will be shut off at eleven o'clock, the lathes will no longer turn, and I can do nothing more till to-morrow morning at six, which means that we will not get away till noon." "By Jove, that's a bad look-out for us, too," said Sir Ralph, when we had escaped from Joseph. "I suppose things will be the same at Terry's place. What a den for you to be delayed in!
