gLgcrRlclrY AND ROMANCE

During this week selected to be de-
voted calling attention to the use
and possibilities of electricity the fol-
lowing from an article in the New
York Journal is of interest:
Electricity is spinning realities in
to romance.
The melting SHOWS of the Rockies
are driving more powerful railroad
trains than ever steam propelled, the
SHOWS being first transmitted into
electricity
The great printing presses Of the
metropolitan daily newspapers were
driven by steam hanessed to pom
derous belts and pulleys a dozen
years ago. Today steam is used only
to drive dynamos to make electricity
do the work.
Coal smush formerly cast aside is
today used ON rotary furnaces to
generate electricity which is sent
through the anthracite region in cur
rents powerful enough to work and
light coal mines and other properties.
one such plant, hear Mauehchunk,
Pa, could supply New York with cleo
trio light u
Here are some eye-opening electri-
cal facts:
100000 Americans derive their
living directly or indirectly from
the electrical industry.
$4,000 O00, OO0-twice the total
amount OF money in circulation in
the United States-is invested in the
industry, including telephones and
teiegraphs
5O,OOO,O00 was the gross in
come OF the electrical industry laSt
year. ,s..s,.,..
$75o,O05.doo is expended annually
for new electrical equipment and
service.
Twenty-one dollars year is the
average spent ON electricity by every
man, Woman and child in tie United
States.
Seventy per cent Of Americans use
electricity in one form or another
every day Of the year
One cent can buy as much cleo
tricity as ten cents could buy TWEEN
| ty years ago.
Enough steam railroad mileage
TO stretch from New York to San
Francisco has already been elecui
fed. And tho best authorities claim
that all railroads operating where
traffic is dense. as well as roads in
mountainous regions, must soon dis
| card steam for electricity.
In ten years the horse power Of
electric motors in use increased
from 100000 to over 100000.
Today more than a quarter OF Tie
total industrial power utilized III the
United States is electrical
The Stotal earnings from the elec-
trical industry Will shortly exceed
the gross receipts Of all our steam
railroads.

COUNTY WILL RETALIATE.
Board of Supervisors Prepare to Es-
tablish Toll Gates.

Alexandria county authorities are
preparing to lc1aiiate against Fairfax
county bn.anse tic board Of sHpervIs-
ors of the latter county has estab-
lished, toll gates on three on the prin-
cipal improved roads of the county.
The board of supervisors of the flrst
named county have forwarded to the
Fairfax authorities communication
stating that unless the toll gates are
removed, Alexandria county will es-
tablish toll gates in retaliation near
the Fairfax county line and collect
toll from every east bound vehicle. As
all the Washington bound traffic from
Fairfax county passes through Alex
andria county ard over its improved
roads, this would be serious matter
for Fairfax
The first toll gate to be established
by Fairfax is now in operation on
the macadam road at Oakton and is
said to be producing satisfactory
revenue, although many travellers
are using the unimproved roads in
the vicinity to get around the toll
gate.
1t is said that the Alexandria city
automobiles will make another plea
to the Fairfax authorities urging
that as the approaches to Alexandria
are now being improved by the city
fathers the county should not retard
travel by the collection of tolls for
travel over its roads.
