Showing Daly a proposed dam at Coulter's Falls below the town of Great Falls: "We have under consideration a plan for using from twenty to thirty thousand horsepower on electric locomotives which, if successful, will enable us to use electricity between Havre and Clancy including the line between Belt and Neihart.

"If our plan works out as well as it promises and electric locomotives can be used on railways, it will give an enormous impetus to the use of copper for transmission.

Proposes selling cheap power to Daly. P. 433.
