The process Is a very good .tnc, for it produces large tpinntities of nitric acid at low cost, and we tire trying to net the cost still lower.

"Tin* government, if it wants cheap nit rates, should encourage the use of water power and make it easier for manufacturers to have it. There is a good opportunity 1 1? use the water power on the Saguenay. and although | the stream is navigable, the question ?rises as to what extent it will he pos sible to transport nitric acid after it , is made.
