Senator Newberry returned from
Iowa City convinced that the state
university ought to have every dollar
of additional support which has been
asked. As to whether the state has
the money to give is another question.
Il do not see how they can very well
get along without the extra allowance"
said the senator. "The university has
600 more students than it had three
years ago and everywhere they arc
crowded to the limit. If we are going
to invite these young people to come
to our state university to be educated
we must take care of them. Certainly
our state university Is prosperous and
we ought to do our part in making ~
more prosperous"

PROGRESS OF TROLLEY LINES
There Was Only One Line In Use
Twenty-one Years Ago.

Twenty-one years ago the world S
FIRST electric railway was opened be-
tween Baltimore and Hampden. To
day there are hundreds of thousands of
trolley lines connecting not only vari-
Gus parts of each city, but cities far
distant from each other. Nor has the
development of the trolley interurban
been confined to any one section of
the country. The electric interurban
originated in the east, but it has found
its greatest development and improve
ment in the west. Spokane has more
miles of electric railroads than any
other city in the Pacific coast states.
Three hundred miles of electric line
are in daily operation in and out of
Spokane, a record which even the city
of Los Angeles cannot approach.
The history of the inception, the de-
velopment and the present condition of
the electric interurban is as interest
ing as any romance. 1t is the romance
OF the steel rail. Few people know
tins story. Fewer stop to realize the
improvements which are yearly being
made in this important service. To
day the traveller may dine on the cleo
trio trolley sleep on it, be as com
Portable as in his own drawing room.
