r. r. MERGER MAY
BOOM THIS CITY

Some far-sighted business men who
have pondered the railroad situation in
New England. with particular reference
TO the proposed merger OF the New York.
New Haven and Hartford road and the
Boston and Maine interests. believe Prov
idence will gradually develop into one Of
the largest and most important freight
distributing and receiving ports In the
United States. They expect that two
years after the merger Is a settled thing
the value OF the goods shipped by the
water routes from this city TO New York
and Southern points will increase approx
tmately s2,0O0.O0O annually and that the
receipts OF raw materials such as cotton.
wool. leather and articles of that sort
from the South and West will be proper
tionately as large.
In making these deductions the geo
graphical location OF Providence. it's stra-
tegical Importance and excellent harbor
facilities are taken into consideration The
most striking advantage, so fat as freight
Is concerned being In the ability of ship
pers 10 send their goods TO and from New
York by water routes at all seasons OF
The year. Water freight rates are by odds
cheaper than those charged on overland
routes
The bulk OF the raw material which Is
sent into the country covered by the Bos-
ton and Maine rails Is coal. cotton, wool
and leather. The coal and cotton and
much OF the leather come from the South
and at present have 10 come all-rail via
Boston, from which place they are again
sent by rail to their destination.
II Is argued that this line OF raw ma
terial and practically all other staple artl-
cles and commodities used in any part of
New England could be sent to this port
by water. The water route is obviously
the cheaper one. as safe and considerably
shorter. From New York the boats come
in perfect safety all the year round via
Long Island Sound and Narragansett bay
and from the South by the coastwise and
Atlantic line 10 Providence. Consult the

map and you will see that Providence is
in sort of 2own-hill position, the land
seems to converge on this city in sort
OF funnel-like way.
Raw materials can be sent from Provi-
dence all the year round, with better ad-
vantage than from Boston. This city Is
approachable even In the stormlest sort
OF weather while Cape Cod in the winter
months and early spring. when storms
are prevalent. is beset with maritime
dangers.
Manufacturers in states north and west
OF Rhode Island would save money I'm
freight rates by sending their finished
products through Providence The prod
ucts. such as shoes cotton and woolen
goods, are easily handled. and could be
sent quickly and cheaply to this city. and
loaded without difficulty into the vessels
sailing from this port for New York and
the South.
Assuming that the freight was to be
sent from Providence 10 New York, the
long trips at present made around Cape
Cod would be obviated. and the boats
would be enabled TO make safe trip
through the sheltered waters OF Nara
gansett bay and Long Island Sound TO
New York in 10 or ~ hours. This route
provides, naturally. taking the geographic
cal location Of Providence into consd-
Grafton again, a much more direct and
cheaper route to the West than that used
now.
Heretofore n large portion OF the fn-
ished product destined for the West has
been shipped through TO Canada and
thence across country via the Canadian
Pacific lines or the Grand Trunk. or I'm
southern New England via the Hoosac
Tunnel and Fitchburg road TO Rotterdam
Junction TO Troy, N Y. Obviously "A wa
ter route from Providence would he n
more direct route than either of these.
The New York. New Haven and Hart
ford road is preparing for some such con-
tDgency as this. as its wharves and dock
ing facilities are being constantly i'm
proved.

INTERNATIONAL
INTEREST IN
BALLOON RACE

Mr.. A. Leo Stevens OF the Aero club
OF America arrived in this city yester-
day from Lancaster, Pa. Mr.. Stevens
believes that the opportunities for a
balloon race here Of international
interest are very good.
A test balloon OF 75o cubic feet ca
pacity, belonging TO Mr.. Stevens, was
taken out TO Pawtucket and inflated
at the Pawtucket Gas companys
works, while scales were applied I'm
such a manner that the lifting strength
of the balloon was shown. The gas
was that ordinarily used for lighting,
and II pulled about % pounds TO the
1000 cubic feet of gas. After making
allowance for the percentage of water
gas employed. II was satisfactorily de-
termined that the mixture will give the
desired 'buoyancy.
Mr.. Stevens stated that he believed
Capt. Charles Chandler of the United
States Army Signal corps would be
participant In the race here Old Home
Week, possibly as a shipmate OF Mr..
Stevens. who will bring an $4,000
foot airship. with a lifting capacity of
ton and a half. With this balloon
he made several ascensions from
Washington lately for the signal corps.
Messrs Stevens and Jones left the
city yesterday afternoon for New
York. Mr.. Stevens will continue to
Lancaster Pa. where he is TO make
an ascension today, having had to
abandon one on Saturday on account
of bad weather.
