Railroad competition has grown 20 be q
matter Of science in It's demonstrative bid
for favor. A railroad man yesterday
threw some light on a new phase Of the
business in a conversation in which he
said: Long journeys across the country

popular The experiment has been at

Competition for passenger traffo 70
Chicago and the West has been so great
within the past few years among the
trunk lines that rate cutting failed 10

would be utilized. the railroad company
making up all losses.
This experimental vaudeville car is
handsomely fitted up. AZ one end Is
