MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE.

One of the newest of railroad
presidents is Joseph h. Parrott,
chief executive of the Florida East
Coast System. His election to this
Office marks the fulfllment of a
cherished dream of his boyhood. It
is fascinating story, as told in the
January Human Life, of typical
American pluck and persistence in
going after the thing we most de-
sire--an Alger story from real life
The keenness and enterprise of
the young man attracted the notice
of Henry M, Flagler, and he was
selected to carry out the far-reach-
ing and ambitious plans of the great
financier, who had noted his facility
in making splendid dreams come
true.

GASOLINE CAR EXPERIMENTS.
Erie Thinks New Service VIII be
Successful.

buCCtSSIuIs
The February number of the Erfe's
Employer Monthly Magazine says:
The experiments with gasoline mo-
tor cars which the Erie railroad has
been conducting for more than two
years bid fair to be successful. The
management realized some time ago
the need of frequent and economi-
cal passenger service on branch
lines where the traffic was not large
enough to justify ordinary steam
trains, though in volume 1t required
service of less expensive character
and entered upon research which
took both time and money, and has in
a measure solved the problem.
Tests we're made with cars driven
by steam, electric and gasoline en-
gine, but so far the gasoline car has
shown that the best results in eco
nomy of operation and durability.
Although the question must still be
regarded as somewhat in the ex-
perimental stage, the experience
thus far gained indicates that the
gasoline motor will be the propelling
power for districts where a frequent
rather than a heavy service is neces-
sary.
The Erie has several branch lines
and divisions where even ordinary
passenger trains are Improbable,
but with a motor, efficient service
can be given, making the necessary
daily trips, thereby giving the public
opportunities for journeys ana at a
lessened loss to the railroad.
Gasoline motors are in use on the
Bradford division between Salaman-
ca, n. Y, and Bradford, Pa, and be-
tween Attica and Avon, n. Y, on the
Rochester division. On the Brad
ford division the motor car is a
handsome vehicle with baggage and
smoking rooms besides a compart-
ment for ladies. 1t is equipped with
six-cylinder gasoline engine and is
making punctual trips Another on
the Attica and Avon route is small
er, having no baggage compart-
ment.
The Erie, having a year ago cleo
trified it's Rochester division between
Mt. Morris and Rochester, has inau-
gurated the triple forces of steam,
electricity and gasoline for motive
power.
