The advantages of the narrow-gauge
system of railways are securing a remark
able degree of attention at the present time
on both sides of the Atlantic. In England
the superiority of this system has been for
sometime considered settled proposition
on the part of engineers and railroad
builders. 1t is there that the magnificent
folly of Brunel's seven-foot gauge has been
most extensively illustrated, and 1t is there
that some of the most successful expert
ments have been made with narrow gauge
roads.
Our newspapers are, however, rapidly
disseminating the results of careful expert
ment aud study in other countries. we
were among the first to call attention to
the remarkable adaptibility of the narrow
gauge system to this country, and last
week published an article from one of our
most prominent citizens, which presented
the whole subject more clearly and fully
than we have seen it treated elsewhere.
To-day we see three-column article on
the same subject in the World signed "H
B. w." which arrives at the same conclu-
sions as those demonstrated by our own
correspondent, "H. G. s."
The Worlds correspondent, however
makes new suggestion, and that is that
the two Pacific railways which are now
building or to be built shall adopt the mar
row gauge system, selecting the three-foo
gauge as the most practical of any Why
not? Why should not these two compa
MES save from fifty to eighty millions o
dollars by adopting gauge which ha

10000 miles of railroad are TO be built in

Why adhere TO old fashioned and ex-
ploded notions and withdraw from general
use the immense amount of capital that
would be needed for broad gauge roads
over and above that required for gauge
equally serviceabe, far more economical OF
running expenses and in every way more
sensible?

accepting the narrow gauge, would show
themselves to be fully up to the engineering
