PUTS LITTLE STOCK IN
BIC TROLLEY PROJECT
Mr.. VIM. Northrop Sees Nothing
in Richmond to Boston r

Il know noyo inc ~ tba scheme ana
= think pse report is highly improb-
Xle," said President William Nortn-
rop. OF the Virginia Railway and Pow
er Company. when asked relative TO
the report from Washington that a
trolley line from Richmond to- Bos-
ton via the national capital and New
York was in contemplation. with q
group of New York capitalists behind
the project
with the exception of the distance
between Baltimore and Wilmington,
Del" said President Northrop, 81
think Washington and Boston are
pretty well connected already by troll
ley, but l know of no definite project
10 connect Richmond with Washing
ton, except our Richmond and Chess
apeake Bay line, which Is now beinS
surveyed. And that line certainly has
no connection with the project ac-
credited to the New York capitalists,
The Richmond and Chesapeake Bay
line is strictly a project of Mr. George
Gould In connection with his other
railway properties in Virginia, Mr.
Gould has been in Paris for more
than year, and / am confident H.
has no plans In common with the men
said TO be behind the Richmond-to-
Boston line"
Mr.. Northrop sees no special advan-
tage in "A trolley line as the one pro
posed, for the very simple reason that
passengers naturally do not patronize
such lines when il comes to ques-
ton of long distance service.

Qrently enumerators assigned TO die
tricts In which they reside are not ex-
periencing any special trouble.
Uncle Sans instructions regarding
enumeration OF Indians are in part as
follows;
owing to the rapid breaking up of
Indian reservations and tribal rela-
tionships. 1t is probable that the pres
ent census will be the last in which
satisfactory inquiries can be made re-
harding the particular tribes to which
Ind ians belong. 1t has consequently

Of 'the comet" are giving s-me of the

think that the wanderer Is the fore
runner OF war, famine or pestilence.
for they learned from their fathers and
grandfathers that comets are bad
things. Then there are others who
think that Halley's comet will ac-
tually brush across the EARTH" as they

not destroy the earth. Some have de-
ciared their intentions not to do any
