The many project which are under way for the cpnatructlon of .electric railway llnea arc proof of the great Importance of electricity In the de velopment of tha rwwurcea of tha I'a- cclflc count atate. The electric rail road haa reached ft atage of develop ment that makee It practicable, where, a few yeara ago. It would never have been thought of. For ahort route. and In laolated localltlea, Ha advan- tagea over the ateam road are manifold. It 4 poialbl to (natal! and equip an electric tine at ft coat far leaa than that of a ateam road, and the expense of maintenance la ftlao leaa. ' The Paclflo coaat atatee offer far greater opportunity for electric line than any other region In tha Vnlted State, by reason of the water powr which I preaent In auch great guantl- tie. By thla tneana It la poealbla to provide transportation facllltlea even In the moat remote localltlea. There la no doubt that. In ft abort time, the atatea of California, Waahlngton, Ore gon and Idaho will be a network of electric llnea, forming connected route, ao that distant aettlemente will be brought Into communication with the centera of distribution, and the eaae of marketing product will ba greatly enhanced.

Aa la well known. Btephenson'a Rocket secured the award of 12500, which waa offered, a being the moat aultable engine, attaining a aoeed of 29 miles an hour. The Bans parte! waa aecond with a speed of 21 miles an hour, while the Novelty with drew from the triala, owing to the iolnte of the boiler giving way when the locomotive had traveled only three mile.
