Pennsylvania possesses a vast undeveloped water power; just how much it is im- possible yet to say. In this connection, however, it is important to insist upon the fact that the maintenance and increase of this power an^ cl()s(4&gt;' associated with the restoi'ation of our forests on such lands as Inivv no a^ricultui-al values and especially ui)on the hiIissouri; (second) because one-horse power steam costs annually $150, while the same energy derived from electricity costs $40; steam is wast(^ful; fire must be maintained while engines stand b!o\vin&lt;2: off steam on a siding; for electrical service you simj)ly cut off the power; (third) a freight locomotive runs 150 miles and then goes to the round house; an electri- cal engine runs 1200 mih^s before being I'eturned to round house for repairs. 1 have made these statements on what seems to be competent authority.
