The New Student's Reference Work/Kenora

Keno′ra, a town of 5,200, formerly called Rat Portage, is situated 100 miles east of Winnipeg. There is a dam here across Winnipeg River which gives a head of 20 feet with a storage area (the Lake of the Woods) of about 2,000 square miles. In time not only Kenora and its mills but Winnipeg and other places with their industries will be supplied with power from these works, which have a capacity of about 30,000 horse-power. Kenora is a lumbering and milling center and an attractive summer-resort.
