Electrical news and engineering . Thus ii is difficult to make com-parison between the total water power potentialities of such THE ELECTRICAL NEWS November 15. 1919 a country as British Columbia and other areas, elsewheresituated, differing markedly in physical characteristics. An examination of the data tabulated in the Reportshows that the total estimated water-power of the Provinceis 3,000,000 horse-power, but of this amount about cannot be considered, at least for many yearsto come, in the light of economical development, because ofthe proximity of railways, or possible interference with thesalmon industry. The total available 24-hour power maybe placed at about 2,500,000 horse-power. It must be re-membered, however,—and this the report also emphasizes—that there is still considerable territory, especially in thenorthern part of the Province, to be more fully , taking into consideration also the fact that morestorage possibilities will undoubtedly be discovered, we may. Stream descending from Hanging Valley. Mackenziefall. Hazel creek, Toba valley, 800 feet fall in sight in the future expect an increase in the known power of theProvince. In considering the distribution of this power, itmay be gathered from the report that the estimated waterpowers of the coastal region total approximately 1,000,000horse-power, and the interior region 1,500,000 per cent, of the water power of the Province is there-fore associated with less than twenty per cent, of its the Railway Belt there is about 400,000 regard to the actual developments in the Province, itis noted that the installed capacity of the developed powerstotals, in round figures. 300,000 horse-power, of which some240,000 horse-power are in the coastal region, and 60,000horse-power in the interior. About 125,000 horse-power ofthe developed power lies within the territory known as theRailway Belt. The coastal powers include the la
