ATHENA, JULY Is, 1904

Tue DEVELOPMENT of the trolley system
in New England, where 1t has made the
greatest progress, is beginning to attract
wide attention, especially as it promises
to become dangerous competitor with
the steam railway system. Already rails
Of the same weight are used on the elec-
trio as on the steam roads and well nigh
equal speed is made in rural districts,
while greater speed is made in city lin
its. The cars are being made nearly as
large il not so heavy as those on steam
roads, and in nearly ali country places
mails and light freight are carried as
well as passengers. Trolley lines are
connecting country towns which only
could be reached by wagons, and by
bringing them into communication with
railroad stations are developing their
business. Nearly every state in New
England can now be crossed, north and
south and east and west by electric cars
and in some cases cities as far apart as
Portland, Boston, Providence, Hartford
and New York have been connected by
"the broomstick train" One of the
latest developments OF the system is the
use for the first time by a steam and a
trolley road Of the same track. The
New York Central is to use stretch OF
track near Oxford, Mass, about 5 miles
from Worcester, for delivery of coal to
station it cannot now reach easily. This
track was laid and is used by the Wor-
cester and Southern Street railway. The
fact that a locomotive and freight cars
can be run upon rails ordinarily laid for
trolley cars is opening up wide field of
speculative possibilities among railroad
people,

Jupiter Pluvius is playing queer
pranks in Oregon this summer. The
semiarid belt, which he usually
neglects until autumn, is being treated
to copious showers, cloudbursts, etc.,
while the Willamette valley, which has
the reputation of being always damp, is
sadly in need of rain. This may be an
equalization of favors, for it is on record
that in past seasons when the valley was
turning off bumper crops the country
east of the mountains was suffering for
want of rain. The recent showers in
Eastern Oregon have practically assured
an unusually large yield of spring wheat,
and this, with the winter wheat which
was already safe, will swell Oregon's
agricultural output TO more than the
usual proportions, in spite Of the short
age in the Willamette valley, Oregon

Thus we see that more than one

This country in 1900 had 30,098
journalists, 111,942 clergymen, 114,-
7O3 lawyers, 1925 physicians and
surgeons, and 446.797 teachers and
professors. So theoretically every
journalist had an average of $500
subscribers, every clergyman a church
of $50 members, every lawyer about
$50 clients, every physician and sur
eeon about $40 patients, and every
teacher and professor a class of 165
pupils. But, of course, every profes-
sional person was not as successful
as the average would indicate. Some
had more and many had less. If af-
fairs in this country, however. were
arranged according to the averages
which may be struck from the census
reports, life might be a great deal
happier than it is. In 1900 the total
wealth in the land was $1,107, ILL.,
257.89, or a per capita of $~1.235.86;
but under the dispensation of Provi-
dence and the laws of cause and eff
feet, we all do not possess $1,235.86

equalize opportunities and fortunes
