TRANSPORTATION PROGRESS
IS TRACED IN OLD NEWSPAPERS
Library of Congress Complies Information
As Index of Wealth of Material
Available on u. S. Life.

A newspaper record of the progress
Of transportation and communication
in the United States for the past 125
years has been prepared by the peri
odical division of the Library Of Con-
gress from the headlines of old news
paper files preserved in the Library.
The exceptionally large collection OF
American newspapers from Colonial
DAYS to the present affords an invalu-
able record OF the history of the Ma.
ton, and the transportation record
has been taken out as an example or
the kind of material available.
Begins in 1900.
The record starts with the issue of
the Lancaster, Pa, Journal for Janu.
ary 1, 1900. The sheet is surrounded
with black mourning borders. and tells
of news Just received by stage coach
Of the death of George Washington.
Next comes an issue of the American
Citizen of New York for August %,
1907, containing Robert Fulton's re-
mort of a successful trip up the Hud-
son. in which he was able to make an
average speed of five miles an hour,
in the steamboat Clermont.
The next stage is represented by
the issue of the Pittsburgh Gazette
of October 10, 1911, telling of the
launching of the first steamboat on
the Ohio River. Another stage Is rep
resented by the Savannah, Ga. Daily
Republican for June "a. 1919, in which
is told the story of the first successful

California had been admitted to the

Sacramento Daily Union of october
"a. 1881, is taken the report Of the
first telegraph message sent across

seribes the completion Of the Atlantic
cable. and the opening of transconti-
mental railroad traffic is announced in
the issue OF the San Francisco Eve
ming Bulletin of May II, 1869.
From the Boston Globe Of February
IS. 1877, is taken the report of the
patenting of the telephone. From this
point there is a long jump to Deem
Der %, 1908, when the New York
Times carried a signed statement by
Marconi telling of the successful
transmission of a wireless message
across the Atlantic.
The newspaper record ends with the
