Windmills Power the Dutch Land and Industry
A letter to the Chicago Tribune by Joseph Medill extolls wind mills as the cheapest simplest reliable power. He notes 12 000 wind miles across Holland and Flemish Belgium supplying 6 to 10 horse power, with annual windmill costs about 4 million dollars. Wind mills lift water and drive saw mills planing mills and brick making machines, with water wheels used where pumps fail.
