New Railroad Scheme.

Bloomington Record In a letter
from our old friend Dr.. Z. NJ. Sala of
Rock Island, he suggests scheme to
surround our railroad difficulty, and
as he is right in the center of great
system he cannot fail to notice the
beauty of it. He says: My plan is
to build an electric railway system,
having the power house. say. at
Bloomington. running your tracks to
Lancaster, Cassyille. Bridgeport and
any place else you want to and have
freight cars built to be attached to
the passenger cars or run separately.
A road of this kind can be built for
about one twentieth the expense of a
railroad. and can be made to 90 up
the Glen Haven hill without any trou-
BILE. We run up sleeper hills than
that down here; so you see there
would be little or no grading done,
which has been one of the main draw
backs to your having a railroad /
rode on such line as this in New
York state this fall. 1t runs from
Lewiston. New York. to Buffalo. a
distance of 30 miles, price 30 cents.
1t took in four or five small towns,
carried trunks and everything. They
are building just such road from
Milwaukee to Racine; also one in II
linois from Ottowa to Joliet. Uncle
Sam would soon give the company
that built such road a contract to
carry the mail because they are al
ways looking for way to get mail
through last. Take the mails, freights,
and passenger traffic and the thing
would pay from the very start Lum-
Der, hogs, cattle and everything could
be hauled on it and it is fully as good
as steam railroad, and can make
just as good time if necessary. You
don't have to have any depots or tel
egraph operators or brakemen OF
switchmen. etc. Such things as these
run into money very fast. We are
connected with all the surrounding
towns by electric cars and here they
don't carry anything but passengers,
and yet seem to pay we'll. l believe
it is about your only salvation for a
railroad of any kind and with your
present telephone system it will GER
tainly make BOOM

son the reservoir or tank, which holds
the gasoline and feeds the engine, had
