THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
It is Now Running Cars Between Racine
and Milwaukee,

The Racine Times says that the
officials of the Milwaukee, Racine &
Kenosha railroad made the first round
trip over the road to Milwaukee Wed
nesday. As few changes have to be
made in the subway at South Milwau-
kee cars will not run through TO
Milwaukee for few days. The Mil
waukee Sentinel says The arrival in
this city yesterday of the first through
car from Racine over the Racine and
Milwaukee road is said by the pro-
moters of the line to be the initial
movement toward an electric line from
Milwaukee to Chicago. The Mlwau-
kee street railway company will honor
transfers from the lines, thus making it
already through run from Kenosha
to the city.
The first car, which arrived yester-
day with President Slush, General
Manager Bishop, and several invited
guests, is one of the handsomest and
most substantial ever put in service on
an electric line in this state. The
Milwaukee terminus of the new line
will be in the city hall. Cars will be
run every hour between 6 o'clock in
the morning and IL o'clock at night,
and the time which is two hours, is to
be reduced to swifter rate. The fare
is 40 cents, Or70 cents round trip"
Supt. Nelson stated Wednesday
morning that commencing Sunday
morning through cars would be run
between Milwaukee and Racine, the
first car leaving Milwaukee at 5 O'Clock
in the morning.

Dollars and Good Roads.

Charles Kendall Adams, the eminent
educator and writer, now president of
Wisconsin University, while in Europe
not long ago, travelled a thousand miles
by coach in the Alps. There were six
persons in the coach. 1t required
thirty three days. They went through
four OF the great passes. They never
drove less than twenty-five miles a day
and frequently as high as fifty, yet in
making that one thousand miles, in
thirty three days, they had but one
span of horses. 1t is explained in the
fact that the entire distance covered
had been supplied with superb roads.
DR.. Adams is enthusiastic as an advo-
cate of good roads. After giving his
experience as above stated, he asked,
What would be the condition of a
team of horses driven in this country,
over mountain roads, from twenty five
to fifty miles day, six days in week,
for a month 2" The statement of facts
and the question furnish ample food for

A dollar mark placed before row of
figures as naturally attracts the atten-
ton of the average reader as pretty

paragraph is about as certain to be
read as a telegram sent by q senator

pointment to the place he was seeking.
Men who have been spending years in
computing the coso of transporting
farm products from the farm to the
railroade of this country, give it as their
firm belief that the products thus
transported amounted in 1896 to the
fabulous sum of 1858, 875. AT tons for
one mile and that the cost of such
wagon transportation was 1865, 900, 900,
or at the rate of % cents a ton for each
mile. They estimate that the same
amount of products transported by
wagon on good gravel or broken stone
road could be done at a saving Of two
thirds of the vast amount, an amount
so great that it seems almost beyond
comprehension.
Now, if these same gentlemen, one of
them the editor of an agricultural
paper, John M. Stahl; another a farmer,
another Isaac B. Potter, president of
the League of American Wheelmen,
and that class of men, would give us
an estimate Of the number of miles of
good road the 1865, 000,0 600 that good
roads would save per year, would con-
struct, it would be comparatively easy
to state how long it would require to
furnish the country with a system Of
good roads that would enable it each
year to save more than half a billion
of dollars in the matter of wagon trans
portation, to say nothing about the
pleasure such roads would give the
people; to say nothing about the hun
dreds of millions of dollars that would
be added to the value of farm and
other property; to say nothing about
the convenience of reaching school,
church, creamery, cheese factory, and
so on, and so on. OTTO DoRNER.

A certain alderman and another
gentleman went to a livery barn We'd
nesday night and secured horse and
carriage for drive into the country.
The horse was high stopper and full
of spirits. Whether the gentlemen
were in the same fix or not is not
essential. They had a pleasant drive
and were returning when they were
compelled to turn out Of the road by a
large milk wagon. The horse was
tending to business and going about
ten miles an hour. In passing they
were close to the wagon, and loose
part of the canvas top Tapped in the
face Of their steed. In a moment the
gentlemen, horse and carriage and all
were in the ditch. The horse didn't
run any, partly because Of the GOODNESS
of the driver and partly because, being
on his side with the carriage and its
occupants on top of him, he was not in
a condition to run. They managed to
pull themselves together, and after
getting the horse on his feet again,
they put fragments of harness on their
shoulders and leaving their carriage
behind walked into the city. It was
only a pleasure trip, but proved quite
expensive.
