The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1906-08-21

TO sum up few of the reasons why
the scheme OF paraleling the Richmond,
fredericksburg and Potomac seems
probable it may be- stated:
|. The road has been already parallelcd
from Richmond to Ashland.
, The revenue derived from Ashland
traffic would not pay n dividend on the
investment in the Ashland branch
3. The road runs from instead Of to
Tappahannock, and so some other
point a. ~ terminal must be in view
I. No survey has been made to Tappa-
hammock and no rights of way have been
acquired.
,. Little River water rights have been
examined
6. Rappahannock River water rights
have been acquired.
:. Occoquan River water rights have
been secured.
&. Washington Railway running into
Virginia has changed hands and rumor
says that parties interested in tho
Wabash have secured control.
Mr.. William Northrup, general man
ager of the Richmond and Chesapeake
Bay Railway, and personal representa-
tive of Mr. Gould, was asked to confirm
or deny the rumor.
Mr.. Northrup said that ii Mr.. Gould

Novel TRAVELLING Woodsaw.

There has recently come into use In
the rural districts a novel machine
that almost entirely dispenses with
manual labor in converting the long
sticks into disable lengths. The opera
tor can sit on the wagon-like frame of
the machine, cut a cord of wood in
thirty minutes, then ride ON his ma-
chine to another wood pile in an ad-
joining lot, cut it in the same length Of
time, and likewise repeat the opera
ton throughout the day.
The power by which the machine is
operated is two horsepower vertical
gasoline engine connected by a belt
TO twenty-four-inch circular saw. The
apparatus Is mounted on an ordinary
platform wagon, and so arranged that
it can be transported from point to
point. Parties owning the outfits have
been making somewhat phenomenal
records throughout their territory. A
cord of wood has been sawed in re-
markably short time, but the average
running throughout a days saving is
about thirty minutes for a cord cut
twice. This means very rapid work,
as any one who has sawed wood By
the old fashioned method with crossr
cut saw can readily realize.
