ELECTRIC ROADS AND STEAM LINES


Keen Rivalry Now Exists Between the
Two Systems Of Travel.
Among the interesting developments
b the railway business during the past
rear has been the action OF great
steam companies with respect to trolley
roads and trolley competition. The
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Company, which owns about 450 miles
Of the 700 miles of trolley in Connecti-
:ut alone. was the first to acquire large
municipal trolley systems at various
points on its main lines, and 1t began
to do this before the year 1905, but 1t
was In the past year that several other
prominent companies adopted the set
tied policy of not only buying such ex-
listing trolley systems, but also Of con-
structing new electric lines parallel to
their own steam tracks, their purpose
being both to forestall the threatened
competition of other builders and to re-
lieve their main lines of local passen-
ger traffic which interfered with the
free passage Of through trains.
The New York Centraps recent pur-
chase Of the Rochester trolley and
lighting system by paying 1925 per
share for common stock having par
value Of S6,500.0OO, is long step to-
ward the projected chain of electric
service roads from Albany to Buffalo
which is to be operated by that great
corporation. The Central owns several
other trolley lines along this course,
and is now electrifying considerable
part of the parallel West Shore steam
road. This part Of Its business Is con-
trolled directly by new corporation,
the Mohawk Valley Company, capital
lied at S1O.OO0,OOO. The Erie is to
construct an electric road parallel to
Its steam line from Binghamton to Cor
ming, seventy-six miles, to .orestall
competition and relieve its steam line
Of local traffic. This appears to be the
aim Of the New Haven company in un-
dertaking the construction of an cleo
trio line paralleling it's main tracks

Pennsylvania has decided to substitute
electric power for steam, but it will be
affected by new competition there, for
Chicago capitalists have undertaken to
spend $4,000. 600 on third-rail electric
line between the same points.
In addition to the projected use of
electric power for the suburban parts
Of great steam lines near their New
York terminals, it should be noted that
provision has recently been made for
fast electric service on separate lines
from Newark through tunnels to New
York, and that the trolley line from
Camden VIRTUALLY from PHILADELPHIA
to New York is to be Strengthened and
otherwise improved. In some parts Of
the West steam lines are meeting the
competition, actual or threatened. Of

during that time has not been taken
into consideration. The colored boxer
never makes a false nor an unneces-

it is difficult to see where Herman can
make him leg weary.

on him to win. but he also advises
them not to try to pick the number Of
rounds In which he will accomplish the
feat. This is in line with his actions

Under the conditions prevailing in
Nevada. no other place has a chance to
compete with the promoters in the
heart of the gold country. The miners
are so prosperous that they will stop
at nothing in the matter of price, thus
putting the promoters of less favored
communities at a marked disadvantage
The liberality of the Nevadans is be-
ing felt, as boxers are being as
naughty as grand opera tenors when
approached on the subject of a match.
Their heads have been turned by the
fabulous purses about which they hear
so much and ordinary compensation for
their efforts in the ring does not appeal
to them. Whether the fierce fire which
is consuming the Nevada men will burn
itself out in time is a question. The
year 1907 may see the end of it. while

The golden era of the Queensberry
ring is at hand. according to the pre-
monitory signs being thrown out by
the men of the rich mining camps of
Nevada. Tonopah starts proceedings
on New Years day with the meeting
between Cans and Herman for the first

conner in the field, hopes to present an
international match between Jeffries
and Squires, the Australian. in April, and
Tex Rickard, who made Goldfeld fam

ing unusually liberal in all their deal
ings with the fighters. Their word has
always been as good as their bond.
The Straightforward dealing of Tex
Rickard, B. F. Taylor and Mike Kelly
has been refreshing when contrasted
with the pettiness of other promoters
in haggling over small matters.
One of the curious phenomena of the
prize ring is the present attitude of the
admirers of Kid Herman. the game lit
tie fighter from Chicago, who will at
tempt to wrest the title of lightweight
champion from Joe Cans, who has de-
Tended 1t against all comers for>many
years. While the friends of Herman
figure that he has a good chance to
lower the colors Of the clever Balti-
more man, they would mot concede him
a look-in with men whom Cans has de-
feated decisively in the last two years.
They would not want to pit him
against Joe Walcott and allow the

40 pounds, as Cans did. They would

abandon Seattle, which would permit
