riding backward and four riding
forward. There is a door on each
side OF each compartment and a
window on each side of a door. The
top half of each door is glass which
can be lowered when the passengers
so wish. There are no bells on the
locomotives but when the train is
ready to start the station-master
rings an ordinary dinner bell, the
little engine gives a shrill whistle
and the train goes. On the door of
each compartment may be seen in
Roman numerals the number of the
class to which that section belongs.

was Los Barr1os. Among the many
stations were Junena where we
stopped at 7:34 a. M; Gaucin, sos
a. M; and Bobadilla at 100 p. m.
AT Bobadilla we changed cars and
also had breakfast. At p. m. we
changed cars at CORDOBA as the
Spaniards write it. At 5 p. m. we
passed thru Villafranca. We passed
thru seventeen tunnels between
Algeciras and Bobadilla. At every
place where the railroad crossed a
wagon road there was woman to
flag the train and stop teams from
crossing a track when train was
coming. These women live near

CAPITAL TRACTION TO
BUY GREAT FALLS
Inevitable Outcome of Recent Changes
in Plans of Competing
Companies.

A gentleman. who. in the past, has
been prominently identified with the rail-
road situation in the District, while
unwilling to be quoted. was decidedly
of the opinion that the only possible
solution was that the Capital Traction
would present a bill for a cross-town
me which would have the approval OF
the Great Falls and Old Dominion peo-
pie, and that as soon as the line was
completed and the Great Falls road
was also in running order there would
De a coalition OF interests which would
make the Virginia road the property OF
the capital Traction Company.
When the Capital Traction company
comes to Increase it's capital or bond
ed debt as may be finally decided. 1t
would be simple matter TO add on an
extra million for future uses
The Washington Traction people
would welcome this consolidation. as
II would take one formidable competitor
OUT or the field. leaving only the two
ROADS 10 divide up the street railway
traffic of the District:
