Excerpt from Canadian Water Power and Its Electrical Product in Relation to Underdeveloped Resources of the Dominion

With the exception of her prairie region, the rivers of Canada differ from the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio, and the larger part of their tribu taries, in that they are not naturally navigable from their mouths, or above tidal influence to any considerable extent, except in detached sections;' while the former are navigable for thousands of miles and are therefore without water power. Those great western rivers flow upon a. Nearly uniform grade of a few inches per mile, whilst the St. Lawrence and its tributaries are interrupted by rapids, chutes and cataracts, affording a great variety, quantity and quality of water power.

In the United States, between the Atlantic coast and the Rocky Mountains, as far south as the Gulf of Mexico, and as far north as the Dakotas, (with the exception of part of New York and New England) there is an entire absence of lakes; while throughout Canada, north of the St. Lawrence and stretching northwest toward the Mackenzie River Basin, these are innumerable, in fact have never been numbered, and thousands of the smaller ones have never been represented on any map.
