To Beat or 7ust the Company.
The intent of the unions is as nlain
as brick wall. They happen TO know
that the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company has the only property it act
ually owns bonded mp 10 the LIMIT and
that the company would have to
scratch hard TO borrow another dollar.
They know that the company has lost
already upwards OF 100000 i'm the
strike. and they think they can drive
the company TO the point where re-
ceivers will have 60 take hold of f.
The strikers have the advantage Of
knowing that the company is none too
well fortified financially and they have
determined to beat or bust the Rapid
Transit company
The general strike was callel after
the directors of the Rapid Transit
company had met and turncl down
the proposal for arbitration that had
been made to them on Thursday night.
This proposal was that the company
and the union make a Joint applica.
tion. under the provisions of the act
OF 1893. to have the courts appoint n
board OF arbitration. Mayor Reybu~n.
who proposed this means to councils
on Thursday. voted against IL when
he met with the Rapid Transit direc.
tors. His attitude was scored by Clar
ence o. Pratt. leader of the striking
carmen. Pratt said the mayors nose
was pointed two ways and that his
arbitration suggestion had been made
obviously because he knew that moth
ing possibly could come out Of II.
So sure were some Of the unions

MANASSAS AGRICULTURAL
HIGH SCHOOL

/ desire TO say some things through
your columns TO school teachers and
patrons in Northern Virginia
The State of Virginia in 1908 author
lied the establishment of the above in
sututlon and made appropriations to
provide instruction in agriculture, do
mestic science and manual training.
The people of Manassas have provided
the necessary buildings and land. Tui-
ton is free.
In connection with the school we hold
farmers institute" on the Bird Fri
day of every month from November to
April inclusive, holding morning and
afternoon sessions, conducted by the
director, with the assistance of experts
from the U. 5. Department of Agri-
culture. The meeting of March 18th
will be of great interest and a special
invitation is given to all interested.
The normal training class is conduc-
ted by Mrs. Mary S. Moffett in the
same building with model schools of
every grade. A special feature will be
review class for teachers and those
who desire to become teachers, to make
preparation for the spring examination,
or for the coming years work. This
class will begin March 18th, and con-
tinue until June 3rd, 1910. Teachers
may enter at any time, but will be ex-
pected to remain at least one month.
The review course of study is parallel
to that of the University Summer
Training School and is given the same
credit, as Mrs. Moffett teaches both
schools.
The books are those used in the pub
lie schools. also McKeever's psychologist
method in teaching, and Dutton's s
school management.
All students in last years training
class passed a creditable examination,
and are now holding good positions as
teachers.

plats and the methods of teaching ma

MOTOR R. R. CAR
One Passes Through and Attracts
Much Attention.

The first gasoline motor car for rail
way use TO come this far East passed
through Fredericksburg Friday about
IL a. m. en- route to Norfolk, where it
will go on the Norfolk and Southern
railway in North Carolina for local
traffic. The car was moving under it's
own power, with one of the r., +. &
Z. X. r. Pullman cars attached. The
car was manufactured in Omaha, Neb.
and is not unlike the ordinary passen-
ger coach in appearance since it has no
trolly or other apparatus of that kind.
Ii has seating capacity for " people.
with compartments for mail, baggage
and express and is capable of high
speed. 1t weighs about 35 tons, has
$50 horse power and costs about SD, 600.
The car left Washingt IN about 9:45
and arrived here about IL O'Clock. 1t
stopped long enough to have a picture
of the car and all on board taken by
Photographer w. 7. Smith. The fol
lowing officials of the r.. f. & p. X.
K. were on board by invitation of the
Mckeen Motor Car Co., of Omaha.

The new car excited great interest in
the city and was seen by large crowd.

LETTER FROM
Mr.. PENNYBACKER
Went Over SpOtsyIvania Roads
March 3-d and 4th.
WORK HIS DEPARTMENT PROPOSES
Fredericksburg. Va. March 4th.

fredericksburg. Va, March 4th.
To The Free Lance:
The Office of Public Roads of L. 5.
Department of Agriculture has begun
a most searching study of the road
question as IT affects the prosperity and
general welfare Of the people and in
addition Is assembling the most exact
information as to road revenues, bond
issues. methods and cost of construc-
tion, 50 that the results of the entire
investigation will show by actual data
every step in the progress of county
from bad roads to good roads. how the
money was raised. how it was spent.
what the county got for il. what were
the effects on land values, on hauling,
on character and extent of crops, on
schools, on population, on taxation.
For the South we will select
about twelve typical counties. which
have just voted bonds. and will
make our investigation in three
stages. lst, before any improvement
Is made; 2nd. where construction
Is under way; Bird. few months
Photographs will be taken at identical
spots at each of the three stages. and
finally a splendidly illustrated booklet
will be gotten out for the benefit of the
whole country.
We have begun the investigation with
Spotsylvania, and we confidently expect
great progress 70 follow the road i'm
provement here. Our tour of the roads
IN this county has given us new ideas of
how bad road can be. but we were
impressed by the excellent facilities for
drainage and for general improvement
at moderate cost.
The country is beautiful, and the
prospects, from a farming standpoint.
are all that could be desired. When
you have system Of good roads farm
ing will pay far better returns, and the
consequence will be higher prices for
land, more of it cultivated and greater
general prosperity.
The progress of the road movement
is astonishing. and il is not confined TO
any one section of country. Millions
are being voted by States and counties
and districts from coast to coast New
York State is engaged on a program of
work which will cost 500, 600, 600.
Maryland has issued So. 900, 900 in State
bonds, while on the Pacific Coast Los
Angeles county is eXpending a bond is
sue of 50, 500, 900.
In the South last year SIS, 600. 900
was voted in the six months to Sept. 80
IN county bonds. The people realize
that investment in good roads is invest
ment IN the most profitable enterprise
of the day.
wish TO say that Mr.. Eldridge and |
are greatly pleased and very grateful
for the thorough and courteous COOP
operation everywhere given us in Fred
