GROWING GINTEREsT.-Decisive steps are
about to be taken in furtherance of the Fred
erick, Thurmont and Northern electric rail
road. THIS week. conferences will be held
with Baltimore City capitalists and also with
Washington City people who are interested
in the uniting by electric railroad of that city
with the great National Battlefield Of Gettys-
burg.
We have every reason to be hopeful OF a
favorable result of these conferences.
The coming year, It is agreed by all care.
full observers, will be phenomenal one in
the matter of electric railroad building; the
problem Of profit has been solved during the
past two or three years, the result having
proven favorable-exceptionally so-and
capital will seek investment in electric rail-
roads wherever it can be demonstrated that
the proposed line connects points ard enters
territory that safely promise paying traffic.
When shrewd business men are secured who
will carefully examine into the traffic posi-
bilities of the F. T. & N, there will be little

posed certain victory, it will then "all be

cause we have gone into this matter of pos
sible travel and freight traffic over the pro-
posed line, and it is simply wonderfully
promising.
Let careful showing be made to the peo.
pie who have the money for such invest
ment and this railroad will lie built in 1899.
AS THE CLARION was the pioneer in this
movement, 80 it will remain with it to advo-
cate and urge 1t upon our people; due to it,
directly, one of tins weeks conferences was
made possible and though much weightier
influence than ours must be reckoned upon
to insure its consummation, yet when sue
cess comes, and we have strong grounds for
hope that it will, THE CLARION will be able
to review It's part in the promoting of the
enterprise. with no inconsiderable degree OF
of satisfaction.
