Tourist Cars for Chicago.

Two Canadian Pacific sleeping cars,
commonly called Tourist Cars" now
leave Portland every Tuesday evening at
8.15, running through to Chicago, Dear
born street station, without change, ar
irving at 10 o'clock Thursday morning.
The extra charge for riding in these
cars is only SO. They are finely uphol-
stored in leather, and well equipped
with bedding, with competent porter in
charge; have lavatories and ranges, and
every modern accessory of comfort
AS the charge for riding in these cars
is SO much less than that exacted by the
Wagner and Pullman companies, the adj
vantage of them ought to be appreciated
by those who desire to make an econom-
ical trip to the Worlds Fair.

TO be much greater than that needed to
move the lighter cars of the trolley svs-
tenn. All these things tend to make the
storage system so much more expensive
than the trolley as to make it's adoption
quite out OF the question. It is true that
the storage system has been greatly i'm
proved in the last few years and can he
run much more economically now than
formerly, but the trolley system has
also been improved quite as rapidly in
the direction of economy. Ny idea is
that the time will come when the chr
rent will be carried in some way through
the rails and the ground.
ssThe first cost of an electric trolley
line is considerably greater than that Of
horse car line Suppose you have a
5-,nile route in city of 10000 You
lay double tracks and therefore have 10
miles of rails. To lay this track for
horses will cost you So, 900 amile, or $780,
900. Thirty cars at $500 each will be
$4,000. Three hundred sand fifty horses
at 800 will be $35, o0O-in round num-
bers say 500, 900 for cars and horses and
$50, 900 for carhouse, barn and .etceteras. ;
making $4,000 in all For a trolley
line the cost Of the roadbed will be sts.-
900 mile, or s1a0, 600; the cars with mo-
tors will cost Sc, 900 each, or 500, 600, and
the power house and carhouse $3.50, 900,
or $400, 1000 in all. But after the extra
first cost of construction has been met
the economy is allin favor Of the cleo
trio as against the horsecar line.
''The electric cars move enough faster
to enable US to get about one-third more
service out of cars and men in the same
time and for the samh expenditure in
wages-that is, it takes the horse ears
on line have in mind herr and SO
minutes to make the round trip, while
the electric cars do stAe same ip hour
and 5 minutes The hext big item in
operating horse car line issthe feed fol
the horses, and in operating an electric
line fuel. In the casah I have In mind,
where coal is sold at Underwater prices
the fuel now costs only about 30 pei
cent Of what the feed sased to cost. In
other places where chal lis cheaper OF
where water power cansbeaused the say
ing will be greater. Thereas also great
saving in the matter Of caring for the
motive power, The scosts Of engineers
and dremen to run al big power house
engine is not over one-t third. as great az
for hostlers and stsblemen to care fol-
the horses.
'The fact that thes carstmake the runs
SO much quicker produces practically ths
same result as the addition Of one-third
more cars, and in city of 100000 thai
means practically an addition of one
third more business. So you, see thai
while the first cost is greater the oper
ating expenses are mucE, less, there is {
considerable addition tol the gross earn
ings and very large addition to the me-
income. These are the 4reasons why ths
trolley wires are driving the horse out o.
the business of drawing1 street cars"

ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION.


The Trolley Wire Driving Horse Cars Gut
of Existence.
Especial Correspendence.1
PHILADELPHIA, June 22.-I had talk
this morning with one Of the most sue
cessful projectors of electric railroads in
the United States. He believes that the
present development Of the new system
of transportation amounts to only the
first two or three steps in it's progress.
II am quite within bounds" he said,
s'when make the statement that cleo
tricity will have driven horse cars prac-
tically out of existence in this country
within two years. Already steps are in
contemplation for the substitution of the
trolley for the horse on almost every line
In existence. The late Maurice Flynn,
best known to the world as New York
politician, was the first man to have
confidence enough in the trolley wire to
interest capital sufficiently to build a
road. That road was built in Richmond,
and it was watched closely by street car
men all over the country AS soon as
. its success was assured the building of
other electric roads and the equipment
of horse car lines with electricity were
begun in every direction.
"The advantages possessed by electric
transportation over the old fashioned
methods are many and include cleanli-
ness, rapidity and convenience, but in
the mind Of the capitalist, who furnishes
the money for the operation, their econ
omy is paramount to all other considera-
tons, The cable roads are not in it
compared with the electric lines, and
say this in the face of the fact that New
York is just beginning to use her cable
lines. I may go further and make the
prediction that inside of five years the
cable conduit in Broadway will be used
to carry an electric cable from which
electricity will be taken by underground
trolleys, and the cars on Broadway will
be run by electricity.
II do not think, however, that under
ground trolleys will be used very gem
orally for several years, though in the
present era of constant improvement it
Is hard to make predictions for longer
period than half decade. The great
difficulty at present hes in the impossi-
bility of making a dry contact between
the electric cable and the trolley under
ground. 1t may be possible to accom-
plish this in Broadway, where the cable
conduit has already been laid at enor-
nous expense, but the first cost of such
work will prohibit its introduction in
any but the very largest cities, where
the traffic is practically only limited by
the capacity Of the line.
II do not believe that the trolley will
soon be supplanted by the storage bat
terry, if ever. At least $40 ,oO0, 900 have
been expended in experimenting with
storage. Not more than 500, 900 worth
of storage cars and storage machinery
are now being used. One of the greatest
difficulties in the use of storage batteries
so far has been what is known as buc-
king Of the plates in the battery. This
produces a short circuit and consequent
burning out of the motor. Then there
is great waste of power in charging
and discharging the batteries. The cars
have to be very heavy, and necessarily
the power to move these heavy cars has
