point is not to neglect the

HOW TELEPHONES HURT THE ROADS
ALShy JourncyA Saved by Usipg the
LonE-Di.tance Wire,

1t is an odd fact, but true, that some
steam railroads have complained Of
the harm done to their best class of
passenger traffic by the long distance
telephone, while hotels in Western
cities have $50 attributed a reduction
of patronage to the same cause. Travel
between this city and st. Louis, for
example, is said to have been appre-
ciably cut down by the telephone.
Such a result would seem difficult to
trace tangibly, although one meets
people daily who, to avoid weary trips.
have governed themselves on the in
junction: Don't travel; telephone" ."
But the telegraph and the mail have
also been deterrents, and If there is
any validity to the alleged reason the
high-speed electric travel of the future
may restore the former conditions.
