the question of voting bonds for the
proposed sorghum sugar mills. The
people were greatly worked up oyer the
matter, and there was serious and

His pantaloons were poked in his bootlegs,

curacy of this fact is based upon the calcu-
lation that one horse power of electricity
per day for ten hours can be delivered for a
year at net profit of S75, while the cost
of maintaining a horse doing four hours
work day for year is about $500. 1t IS
also calculated that motor car. drawing
another car. will do every day the work of
more than thirty-five horses.
1t has been the universal experience of
railroad companies that have adopted the
electric motor that their travel has greatly
increased, and that consequently the prices
of real estate adjoining their lines has ad
vanced.
Of course, it will be readily seen that
the above statements and figures are given
from the electric companies view of the
subject, with an experience confined prob
ably to one locality. The figures will
doubtless vary some in different places,
but in the main we believe they will be
found correct. They make a strong argu-
ment in favor of electricity as motive
power, and should forever silence the
cranks who have been predicting the
failure of the Sprague system now so sue
operated in Salt Lake.

ELECTRICITY VS.. MULES.
The Comparative Cost of Street Railways, and
the Benefits of the Former Power.

A late issue of Hdrper's Weekly contains a
lengthy article on the electric motor as APP
piled to street cars. The year 1856 may be
taken as the time when railroad men
ceased to regard the electric motor as an
interesting curiosity, and began to seri-
ously consider its adoption. At the begin
ginning of 1883 electric railway building re
ceived a great impetus and the slow and
doubling east accepted the new motive
power as successful.
The commercial side of the subject is
most flattering. Every company that has
tried what mBy be considered a
satisfactory system is gratified at
the results already attained. The
rapid transit problem. so far as it can
be met by surface roads, is solved by the
electric road. Better time can be made by
them than is made on the elevated railroad
in New York. The electric cars not only
give more rapid transit, and accommodate
more passengers in the space occupied, but
they travel through the streets more
quietly than cars run by horses, locOmo-
tives or cables They are brilliantly lighted
and without extra expense. The taking off
the horses Tor mules) saves the pavement
between the tracks. and avoids the
perpetual wear on the ties and the
clouds of dust that necessarily
arise from the horses hoofs in a
dry climate The saving in expense is said
TO be something enormous. An estimate of
the comparative cost of running fifty -eight
cars by electricity and horses recently
made was as follows: The $50 horse power |
engine and three 100 horse power boilers |
are estimated to cost 1920. Other ex-
penscs connected with them were placed at
50, 500 The cost of the dynamos or gener- |
ators was placed at $l4, 400, the motors for |
the cars at S2O,O0O, the station house at |
5000, and the electric conductors at |
$4,000 The original cost of the motive |
power for the horse cars was estimated as |
follows: 425 horses at 1925 each, S53, 1875; 100 |
sets of harness, $500; stable for horses,
$4,000. The total original cost of the |
motive power for the electric cars would
therefore be $50, 100. and that of the horse
equipment would be S73, CPS. The cost of !
running per day of sixteen hours, about |
the average street car day, was rec loned as
follows:

The unlimited passenger rate between

at the same time reduced to Sl3.50. These
reductions, with others to Detroit and
other points nearer to Chicago, are the re-
suit of the Michigan law which shortly
takes effect.

General Passenger Agent Dering stated
that it was probable his company would at

people can be carried decreases. The Penn
sylvania is considering a reduction Of 10 or
20 per cent. where the business warrants
In speaking of the reduction of 81 in the
rate between Chicago and New York,
caused by the new Michigan laws, the
Wall Street Duly NeUs says that the trunk
lines can well stand the reduction and
adds: This only brings the figure down
to about three cents mile on the longer
routes, and the Pennsylvania has always
charged more than on through business,
although there is prOportiOnately a much
larger profit on the through passenger than
on the short distance traveller. F'irst-class
fares between New York and Chicago have
always been high enough, because the man
ayers have fixed them on the general prin-
ciple that this was a business route and
that travel could be stimulated only by SUI
periOr accommodations and not by reduced
rates. Tney have apparently devoted all
their attention to seeing how much they
could give the passenger for his money in
stead of endeavoring to reduce the expense
of carrying him from one city to the
Other.n
