Merchants See Hope of Increased Trade
in New Electric Lines.
That Minneapolis may soon be the
center of one Of the finest suburban
trolley systems in the country is the
hope Of the retail interests of the city,
not only of the downtown merchants,
but also those in the small trade CEN
ters scattered turnout the city. In a
short time this hope expressed in dip
lomatic but business-ike language, will
be placed before the officials Of the
street railway company and other ex-
tensions which would be welcomed by
the Minneapolis retail trade will be
suggested. -.
The Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany and it's subsidiary and suburban
organizations have already started a
system which the retail merchants hope
to see expanded and developed. The
lines out Of St. Paul to Saltwater,
White Bear and South ST.. Paul are
practically Of no benefit to Minneapolis
merchants as the trade from these
points naturally stops in St. Paul. Min
neapolis is directly benefited, tho, by
the Minnetonkaq line to the west and
Hopkins and Excelsior. Another direct
feeder is the recently acquired line to
Robbinsdale, running north Of the city,
which will soon be extended thru Ossto
and Champlin to Anoka. ! g.. ~
Further extensions Of both these lines
are hoped for. A specially expressed
hope is that, in a short time, the Min
netonka system may be extended to tap
the near towns of the Mississippi valley,
notably Shakopee, Chaska and Carver,
and possibly others. They are in a rich,
well settled country and with the fur
Their growth that will come with troll
ley development would be most valu-
able to Minneapolis trade. It is pointed
out that river line connecting these
three larger towns could easily be con
nected with the Minnetonka line at
Excelsior. The distance from Excelsior
to Chaska is not great, and if. thru

TAR FOR RoAo-MAkINa.

Experiments conducted at Jackson.
Tennessee, by the Department of Agri-
culture, show that the use of tar for
building and solidifying macadam
roads to give them greater perma-

nary conditions of compression by pow
erful steam rollers yields gratifying
progress in road-making. Results OBJ

and binding has been employed to
harden the highway fully Justify the
outlay, and indicate that, with i'm
proved machinery for applying the tar,
even more satisfactory results may
reasonably be expected.
For some time good work has been
done along these lines in France and
at a number of places in the vicinity
of New York.
Drivers of vehicles have reported
that lessened vibration and noise is a.
once noticeable in passing from an Or
binary road to a tarred macadam road.
They say that the ordinary road pro-
duces a constant succession of slight
jars upon the steel-tired wheel, but that
this ceases the instant they drive upon
a road having a tarred surface. Horse
men assert that a surface so treated
affords a better footiog for theic
