Here is what he says:
'.If the Great Northern railroad

very close to the merger line. All
the railroads IN this section of the
country are sadly in need Of con-
triyance that will enable trains on
the same track to pass at full speed
and run as well of the track as on.
The track is something that really
should be dispensed with anyhow since
it is hardly used enough to warrant
the expense Of keeping it up, espe'
cially of late. II somebody will
kindly invent some c0ntraption to
keep the cars right side up while run
ming on the spike" the popularity OF
the trackless railroad will be estab.
llshed at once, but 1t is extremely in-
convenient at times, as well as un-
comfortable, not to know which side
