such purposes.
Aside from the matters of extensions
and paving. your demands relate chiefly
to the method of routing cars. You VIII
understand this is a question which re-
quires practical experience. We operate
in a district which is a net work OF
railroads. Our schedules are contin-
ually upset by blocked crossings There
are other physical conditions which make
the routing of cars over our lines a diff
hcult problem. Applying the experience
Of many years, we believe that the pres
ent system of routing cars is as good
as any that can be adopted. We are
not. however. welded to this system: il
IS TO our interest to so route our cars
as to give that service which will best
accommodate the greatest number of the
riding public. I desire, therefore. 10
suggest that the City select a dislnter-
ested. practical street railway man ana
authorize him to go over our entire sys-
tenn and examine the method of routing
cars now in effect and take up with The
Council or committee selected By it,
and representatives of this Company
the entire question of routing. and If
a better method of routing can be ar
rived at adopt plan therefor In place
of the one now in effect.
The question has also been raised as
to whether the two-ceut additional fare
would be more than sufficient to pay the

are quite sure that it will not. but IS

Make Most Of what You Have.

Shakespeare says. You can't turn
the wheel with the water that is past, >
The modern age says, You can't excel
in fitness when you spend the hours
in idleness." Dreams of the glory that
is to be are largely dreams still long
after the Gays are past that should
have witnessed the crowning. But life
is more than dreams. Most folks have
learned to their sorrow that it is a
rather stern reality. 1t promises much,
but its always conditional. II teaches
men that in the using of what they
have they become the heroes of the
days that are TO be. It's the filling of
present hours that brings the full hours
of the future. It's folly tG mourn the
past. It's all made in the present and
today passes so swiftly into tomorrow
that we scarcely realize how swiftly
go the speeding hours.

Advice for Sinners.

Sims Reeves, the famous English
tenor, is quoted as saying: "a singer
who does not recite or read the
verses Of a song aloud before at

it over and over aloud, testing the

should be and the proper ar cunt TO

OIL Burning Engine
May Revoludonize
Railway Transport

London, Dec. 20.-A revolution in
railway transport Is expected to be
effected by the invention and prac-
teal demonstration Of an internal
combustion oil-burning engine. Sir
Vincent L. Raven, chief mechanical
engineer Of the Northeastern rail-
way, has designed, had built and
himself operated in the initial test
such IN engine. Because they can
be operated at half the cost of coal
burning locomotives the Northeast
ern has ordered so such engines as
a starter.
1.-THE engine, built at Elswick, is
an 0.8 super-heated type Intended for
heavy freight" said Sir Vincent.
with 4 heavy freight made 50
miles an hour, but the engine can do
90 miles per hour with a passenger
train. The engine has a 20-inch CYL
indef, a 26-inch stroke and l,0DO
horsepower"
Albert Lidgett, editor of the Pc
troleum Times, says:
"Such an engine can be operated
at half the cost of coal burners. The
application of the motor engine prln-
ciple to the railways is a triumph
for British engineering. We have
been searching for the secret of the
