Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civilian, Vol. 8: A Fortnightly Journal Devoted to the Interests of the Civil Service of Canada; February 4, 1916 It has been said that the use of power in Canada for electro-chemis try, electro-metallurgy, and electro siderurgy, has not kept pace with the advance made in these arts in other countries, and on the other hand that certain European countries are using about one-ahlf of their developed water powers for these latter pur poses. It must be admitted that most of the developed power in Canada is used for motive power, traction and lighting, and but a small percentage for electro-chemistry, electro - metal lurgy, and electro-siderurgy. This condition of afiairs is probably the result of a young country first, meet ing its most urgent permanent and primitive power requirements, that is, for lighting, traction and motive purposes, and to temporarily postpone the extensive and intensive adaptation of power for electro chemical and electro-metallurgical purposes; at any rate until adverse economic conditions and financial hazards surrounding the use Of power for such purposes have been overcome. One thing certain, no country in the world has realized greater benefit from the advantages of hydro-electric power for domestic. Municipal and manufacturing purposes, than, have the people of the Province Of On tario, thanks to the hydro-electric Power Commission of Ontario. In a general way any considerable extension to existing power plants and the development of additional water powers in Canada must depend primarily upon the demand for power from traction, lighting, and motive power sources, and but secondarily on the possible use of power for electro chemical, electro-metallurgical, and electro-siderurgical purposes; Of course the use'of power for pulp making alone excepted. Unless we use our power to supply the ever increasing demand from our southern neighbors in the United States, the first use of power will grow directly with the increase in our population.
