PROSPECT is BRIGHT FOR
MOTOR CAR ON BURLINGTON

Importance only to the first steam To-
comotive."
The motor car which is to make the
trip from the Pacific to the Atlantic
ocean is propelled directly by a gaso-
line engine, there being no electric

tendent of motive power of the Union
Pacific road. 1t recently made the run
from Omaha to Grand Rapids, Neb..
154 miles, in five hours and thirty
minutes-an average speed Of twenty
seven and one-half miles per hour. 1t
will go from Omaha to Portland, and
after being exhibited for few days
at the exposition there, will start on
strate it's long distance ability and its
power on grades. When the car
reaches Chicago it will make a speed
and hauling power run to Milwaukee
and return.
Applicable to Freight Service.
After this test it will go to New
York via Buffalo, and will return by
way of Washington, Pittspurg and
Chicago to Omaha.
"The gasoline motor car will quick
ly displace the steam engine on all ex-
cept through passenger and freight
trains" said an official of the Harri-
man system. "The immense saving of
fuel is not the only advantage of gas
oline. The low cost of operation will
mean more frequent trains and bet
ter passenger and freight service, as
in short time the motor will be ap-
piled to local freight trains.
The gasoline motor will also en-
able the present steam roads to 20
after their enemies in competition, the
inter-urban electric lines, and beat
them at their own game, as there will
be no trolleys. third rails, wires, or
power-ho houses to maintain, and if one
gasoline motor breaks down 1t will not
tie UP the entire road as is the case
with electrically propelled casa."

Despite the fact that the motor car
which was built for use on the OF
tumwa-Ft Madison branch Of the Bur
lington proved a failure, there is hope
that in the near future the plan will
again be taken up by the Burlington
officials and that within year there
will be quick motor service on the
branch similar to inter-urban service.
The following dispatch from Chicago
indicates that motor car has been
built for the Hartman system of
roads which has been used with sue
the continent, if it make the trip in
good time and finishes in good condi-
tion, the question that has puzzled the
Burlington officials and the residents
along the FIT. Madison branch will be
in fair way to be solved quickly. The
dispatch follows:
Chicago, May 3.-An ocean to ocean
tour of a gasoline motor car-about
the hardest test possible-has been
planned by the heads in Chicago OF
the operating and traffic departments
of the Hartman system, and has been
approved by Mr.. Hartman.
About eight months ago Mr. Harri-
man explained to his chief railway aids
the necessity of having on steam rail-
roads a car driven by some other
power than steam, to compete with
electric lines mainly and also to save
the expense of operating trains drawn
by steam engines in carrying passen-
gers over branch lines and for light
suburban service.
Yesterday J. Kruttschnitt, director
of maintenance and operation of the
Hartman system, said:
