NEW PARCEL POST Plan
Senator Bourne Thinks Bill
Being Prepared Will Be
Satisfactory.

/ That the Senate COMMITTEES on post Of
fees will soon submit a plan for a par
cells post system for this country that will
be satisfactory to country merchants, city
merchants, farmers and all other inter-
ests, except those of the express COM
panies. is the prediction made by Sen
ator Bourne. chairman Of the committee.
He was speaking apropos of the fight
now on in the House over the provision
i'm the post office appropriation bill for a
parcels post system on rural routes.
Senator Bourne said today that after
eight months of careful research the COM
mittee had secured the best and most
on the subject OF parcels post.
Statement of Senator Bourne.
1--WE are rapidly working down to a
concrete bill," he said, land I unhesitat-
ingly predict our ability to submit to Con-
gress a bill that. il adopted, will be uni
versally approved by the country mer-
chant. city merchant. jobbers and travel
ing mems associations. who heretofore
have in many instances assumed that
parcels post would be detrimental to their
particular interests.
I'm my opinion the only interest that
will be adversely affected will be the ex-
press companies Of the United States. and
only "a per cent Of their present business
can be affected, as only that proportion
is in packages under eleven pounds In
weight. Every other interest OF the
country, I assert, will be benefited"

ROAD SALE IN DOUBT
Chesapeake Beach Railway
Deal Not Yet Confirmed.
BUILT BY D. H. MOFFETT
Purported Transaction Shows Great
Reduction in Estate
Of Promoter.
BUILT BY D. H. M0FFETT

Confirmation of the report from Denver
| that the Chesapeake Beach railway has
passed into the hands Of the New York
banking house Of F. j. Lisman G. Co.. has
not been received in Washington. Paul
| Y. Waters. secretary and treasurer Of the
road, sad today that he knew a deal
had been pending for some time for the
taking over Of the road by the New York
bankers but if the deal had been COM
pleted he had not yet been advised.
Recent reports show that the road has
earned from 100000 to $125,OOO annually,
| its operating expenses being less than its
earnings The thirty-two miles of road
cost about 1886. COO to build. 1t is capital
lied at $1,000, 600 with bonded indebted
ness Of another million Of 8 per cent
bonds. The Denver report says the road
was sold for $S5O.OOO.
Built by D. n. Moffett.
The road was built by the late David H.
Moffett of New York. Washington and
Denver. Mr.. Moffett. who was a million
aire railroad man and mine owner, sunk
nearly all of his great fortune in the
Denver, Northwestern and Pacific rail-
way. which is said to be the most expen-
sive piece of railroad construction in the
OHlteu States One stretch OI tHe TOdu,
through Gore Canyon. was completed only
about three years ago. after the route
had been given up absolutely impos-
sible by half dozen Of the most eminent
engineers of the country. 1t is said that
this part Of the road cost more than
100000 per mile. Engineers surveying
the roadway hung suspended at the end
of cables from 100 to 800 feet long, over
hanging a chasm anywhere from 800 to
600 feet deep or more, while working, and
every foot of the road through the can
yon was blasted out Of solid rock in the
face of the beetling cliffs.
May Be Electrified.
The road traverses some of the most
magnificent scenery in the Rockies, pass
ing over the Continental Divide at Coro-
ma, Colo, at an altitude OF 11,660 feet,
said to be the highest point in America
reached by a standard gauge railroad.
The financing of this road absorbed near
ly the entire fortune of Mr. Moffett, and
is Is said that the heirs will realize barely
three-quarters of million from the en-
tire estate. which was estimated at about
$15, 100000
The report Of the sale Of the. Chesa-
peake Beach railroad states that the line
will be converted into an electric line
and adds that track facilities into the
heart of Washington will either be
bought or leased. Lack of a direct line
into Washington has in the past been
handicap to the road in financial way,
as it's terminus Is reached only after a
long trolley ride to the District line at the
east.
