TROLLEYS AND FARMS.
Rapid Transit Extension a Boon to
Rural Communities.

The farming and business interests OF the
Empire state never promised more rapid
development than at present. according TO
the report made by industrial experts from
every section of the state at the head
quarters of the Street Railway Association
Of the State of New York, in this city. Fol
lowing a convention called at Syracuse re-
Gently to consider the upbuildlng OF the
territory traversed by their three thousand
miles of suburban and lnterurban track
the trolley traffic agents. who have made a
special study of agricultural and CONNER
cial conditions, are preparing to cooperate
with local and state authorities IN bringing
about general increase in land values,
population and prosperity Though the as
sessed valuation of this states real estate
has doubled in the last 10 years of traction
DEVELOPMENT, it is asserted that concerted
effort along these lines may bring benefits
far beyond even this significant showing
To facilitate the knowledge and sale OF
the rich farming lands that have been put
within easy transportation touch OF the
towns and cities of the state, records OF
such properties are to be made and kept by
the traffic agents of all the extensive inter
urban street railways. Through the agri-
cultural information bureaus thus practi-
callv established, it will be possible to
furnish prospective farm buyers from far
and near with the fullest list of possible
purchases, most infinitely detailed as to
acreage cattle and products. As a help to
the resident farmers in making the most
of their operations, car schedules are beng
arranged that will put their products In
the market at the best possible advantage:
Acting on the principle that increase OF
traffic is lust as important as reduction OF
operating expenses, the state trolley men
have determined to make efforts to stimu-
late manufacturing and business industry
at every possible point along their lines.
Working with local trade bodies, their in
dustrial agents are now planning to build
IN the population and wealth of each com
munitv by offering the greatest induce
ments to attract new enterprises and TO
enable existing ones to extend their opera
tions In every section of the state, these
experts declare, there exists today almost
unlimited possibilities for increasing trade
and manufacture
In the suburbs and outlying sections OF
the larger towns special attempts are to be
made this spring to stimulate building ope-
rations and attract larger permanent pop
ulation. Though the entertainment OF eX-
cursion crowds at summer resorts Is to be
carried on by the trolley traffic men as
usual, it is realized that by cooperating IN
building up the regular residence and
shopping sections along these lines, lasting
benefit may be obtained by the. street rail
WAYS as well as by communities Ii the
practical experience and knowledge OF all
their industrial experts count for anything,
the street railway men believe New YORK
state is Just entering period OF uhnsuai
development.

energy that may be drawn upon after
one gets his second wind, - as Prof.

The PLAYERS, Count Orsini and Herr
Tannenbaum, began their game on Sat
urdav afternoon at 3 clock and kept
at it steadily until a. m. Monday,
There was almost as much excitement
over the contest as if it had been a
prize fight, and members of the chess
club made many bets.

For extension is very much wanted, and
the time is ripe. The people IN Vermont
want to 60 to North Adams by the most
direct route, They are simply waiting ior

to come.
Furthermore, it has been more than wins

Guy E. Thayer Writes Entertainingy of His Varied
Experiences at San Antonio

wherever he wished to 60. Daring his ram
page the olnch band loosened and both
wireless outfits went more than 30 feet into
the air and landed with dull thud on the
ground, as IL was then time TO open the
station with the other section which was
on the road with the brigade the lnstru
ments were set up and with but very little
adjustment communication was established
Tn these maneuvers by brigades, advance
guard duty was taken up and one night one
of these movements lasted until after mid
night, Another problem was to find out
whether brigade with all its wagon tram
took up as much or more road space than
had been figured out theoretically This was
worked out with surprisingly correct re-
suits.
Connected with the division are two
! Wright biplanes, which made successful
! flights when the weather permitted, the
machines frequently remaining in the air
for over an hour There have been very
few accidents and the aeropane will be one
of the instruments OF war in the future,
The Parmalee Brothers have a monoplane
of French design which they are to try out
soon.
The week of the 10th a flower festival
was being held and arrangements were
made for a military parade which was over
I
tious since the civil war.
One has to be constantly on the lookout
for tarantulas and rattlesnakes. Especially
this is true at bedtime as | saw two large
tarantulas that had been taken from sol
diers' beds and a large number of rattle
snakes were killed about camp, the largest
one having II rattles.
ANY national guard officer who attends
the war maneuvers with the idea OF learn.
ing something by which he can improve
his own command has the right idea and
will learn much for the army officers have
had the experience and it is a pleasure to
them to give all the instruction they can.
For my part | am OF the opinion that no
better type of a business man can he found
than among the officers of the United
States army,
The trip was very pleasant and enjoya-
! BILE, as well as very instructive
We started for home the night OF the
18th and arrived in Mortified the 22d.

He still roamed and fought many

house and had prepared their way by
laying down poison. Yet almost by e
miracle Turco recovered after weeks
of agony. and regained his spirits. too

queens boudoir he is steadily occu-

Mornings when he reviews troops he
leaves the palace at six. After lunch
he attends TO affairs about town
opens exhibitions and baZaars and
performs such other social duties as
devolve upon a sovereign. AT five
O'Clock he plays polo or goes shoot

10 the palace and looks over the news
Of the day cleaned from IS leading
newspapers of the world AT $3.50 he
dimes, and in the late evening goes
70 other social functions, the theater
or the circus. The circus he is partic-
ularly fond OF and during the several
months OF the circus season in Madrid
he attends regularly every Thursday
night. He is as delighted with the
performing horses. the trained mon
keys and the tumbiing clowns as any
small boy in his kingdom. Any one
who knows how strenuous is the life
OF King Alfonso from early morning
until five O'Clock in the afternoon mar
wells at his strength and energy, yet
constantly one hears and sees in the
newspapers that he devotes all of his
time 10 polo playing and shooting
Without this hour or two of daily ex-
ercise he could never maintain the en-
ergetic routine of his life"
