of New York. -Four years ago dur

fhayer went out for fox hunt with
the Worcester Fur club. The hunt
ers tramped all over the country
around Barre until Thayer got hung
ry and concluded to go into the town
and get something to eat. Barre isn't
very big town and the people who
live there are not particularly ac-
tive.
''Thayer walked through the streets
of the little town for some time, with
out seeing anybody. Finally he met
a small girl He inquired where the
natives OF the town We're and she said
that they We're all in their houses.
Then she volunteered the information

NEW TROLLEY LINE
To WORCESTER,
IN
Recently Chartered Western Rhode
Island Railroad Company
DiSCIOSeS Plans.

According TO statements made by the
promoters OF the Western Rhode Island
Railroad company the charter recently
granted that corporation was much
broader In Its scope and the plans OF the
men who have the new corporation In
charge more extensive than anyone out
side of the inner circle supposed OF had
any idea.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. George
w. Prentice. one OF the principal promo
tors OF the new road. made the statement
that a through trolley line from this city
to Worcester was the ultimate plan OF
the corporation.
In the course OF the interview Mr..
Prentice said:
Neither Mr.. Buckland, attorney for the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
road, who fought our act OF incorpora-
ton 80 vigorously. nor the officials of the
Rhode Island company. were aware that
the measure meant nothing less than a
Providence Worcester electric line.
IF Mr.. Buckland had known what we
were driving at the Western Rhode Isl
ard Railway company might not have
been a reality today.
During the discussion OF the bill be-
fore the legislature" said he. most Of
the talk focused on the tidewater ter
minus OF the road at Cowesett bay. This
terminus and all that II implied was, TO
be sure. exceedingly important, but in
fivetting attention TO 1t. the men We had
30 fight lost sight OF the other end Of
the proposed route-the state line i'm the
Extreme northwest corner OF the town Of
Burrillville. Here Is where our main
chance lay. BY building a strip OF road
Four miles long, from wallum Pond 10
East Thompson. In Connecticut, which we
Fan do under the General Laws OF that
btate, and by making connections be-
lween East Thompson and Webster,
matter Of about Ave miles. we join the
Worcester and Connecticut Eastern Rail-
way companys trolley road. over which
bur cars can go straight into the city
bf Worcester.
The proposed through line by trolley

and termini-tidewater, at Cowesett bay

as well as Canal street this 1ty From
the bay, Mr.. Prentice says, passengers
and freight will be CARED over the su-
burban company's trolley lines to the
village OF Hope To the next point OF
existing trolley road which the new line
viii use, at Ashland. In the town OF
Scituate. Is an unrailed stretch OF Scitu-
ate country four miles long.
we shall begin at once 10 bring about
this needed connection said Mr.. Prem
tice.
Thence from Ashland 10 the village
OF North scituate traffic will be convey
ed over the Danielson road. Here we
shall start TO lay rails probably IN an
almost direct northwest bee line through
Glocester and Burrillville. making Wal
lum Pond near the site OF the proposed
sanatorium for consumptives. and the
connection with East Thompson ,s there
fore n small matter. involving not over
four miles OF rails"
The next link Is the territory between
Fast Thompson and Webster. FIVE miles.
Mr. Prentice thinks Il likely that his
company will utilize the rails OF the
steam road for this distance equippiBg
II with electricity. After Webster the
official says, It Is all clear sailing. At
this point junction IL formed with the
Worcester and Connecticut Eastern Rail-
way company. which connects Worcester
and Danielson. and which north from
Webster has straightaway course 10 the
Massachusetts, city. the coveted goal OF
the Western Rhode Island Railway COM
pany.
when our plans are formulated and
the necessary amount OF track building
rs finished. about 20 miles. we shall have

length and will no doubt bt able to car
ry passengers either way for half dol
lar" said the representative OF the new
corporation. Furthermore:
"Our freight business 3 bound TO be
an important factor. We shall carry
coal TO Worcester from Cowesett bay.
No. the coal cars will not be permitted
TO interfere with the passenger traffic;
they will be equipped for speei. In an
ticipaton of this coal business we arc al
ready installing four e5 horsepower
motors in a locomotive ut our freight
house"
