RAILROAD IN N1AGARA's GORGE.

The Route to Include All Points Of
Interest On the American Side.
The Ni%agara-gorge electric railroad
Is now believed to be assured, for the
surveys have been made from Niagara
Falls to Lewiston, The SOrk of cross
sectioning the line has been completed.
The necessary bonds TO "cure the
capital are being t;oared easily. The
plan of the route inclu,1-s all the
principal points of interest CT the
American side. the islands, the falls,
the Whirlpool Rapids, Devils Hole
In fact, & continuous 'dip along the
waters edge at The lMse It the Ceep
river gorge, past every notlDle Eatural
feature Every one who has ever ,isit-
ed Niagara remembers the cost of
hacks, elevator fares and admission
tickets. Under the new system, how
ever, II is proposed to charge one fare
and that is not e~xtravagant, for the
round trip by electric road, the circuit
to include the best views to be had
from the American shore. 1t is he
lieved this will attract many more
visitors than have been able to enjoy
these wonders in former years. espe-
cially as it will be possible to offer
better rates to excursion parties flom
all points. Yet no one will suppose, Of
course, that the new road is planned
from any spirit of ~disinterestetd phil
anthropy. 1t is rather to be looked
upon as a result of Canadian competi-
ton. For some time the tide of tour
list travel has set toward the Dominion
shore on account of the superior facili-
ties afforded there by the Canadian
electric railrod running from Quens-
town to Chippewa. The American ho-
tells, owing to this foreign attraction,
quickly felt a loss of patronage, and 1t
was evident something must be done
to check it. Buffalo capitalists who
held large property interests at the
falls became interested in the problem,
and the plan for the new road is the
result of thir enterprise. Now that tie
surveys have been made, the work
will be pushed rapidly, and there is
little doubt the road will be running
trains by the time the tourist season
lis at It's height.-Evening Post.

indication of increasing business. but
the rate for funds is so low that it is
possible that New York is doing a
