The Union Pacific management is
preparing to use gasoline motor cars
with a view of meeting electric compe-
tit.on where its exists and preventing
the construction of new lines parallel
ing their railroad
1t is also the purpose of the com
pany to use the motors on all their
branch lines, and experiments which
are to determine the field of the new
car are now being made. 1t is the be
lief of the management that if an
adequate service is established, to-
gether with interurban rates. which
are as low as the usual trolley line
rates, it will discourage the construc-

The Moline Chautauqua association
last evening decided that the meeting

There had been a movement in favor
of Campbell's island. the chief argu-

features of those used under street

springs are so constructed as to avoid
the teetering motion which is common
to trolley cars when moving at high
