THE TRACKLESS TROLLEY.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28, -Moot
people do not ciinceivc of the much
ditcusftcd "trackless trolly" as a vehi
cle which wiU aliio run on tracks. Hut
thirre'4 a new Idea abroad. ' Vehi
cles that run through streets of any
town, gathering in passengers from
their homes and offices, and then dash
away at express sped over the tracks
of the railway to the next city on the
line, there to resume the course of (he
familiar street car, thus taking, people
direct from their lioinc to business
destination without delay or the
trouble of transferring from trolly to
steam train and back afai, are an in
novation predicted in the develop
ment of American railroading in the
near future. This, however, i only
one of the many interesting changes
in railway operation that urc to oc
cur soon, according to Earl Mayo,
who writes about a number of the
more important in an article which
appears in " Applelon's Magazine for
lebruary,
"Taking the railway to the people,"
is really the phrase to describe the
expansion of transportation facilit
ies in the next half rentuary, accord
ing to Mr. Mayo. The process is al
ready well advanced in New England
which a the moot thickly populated
secton of the country naturally leads
the way. lt will spread to other parts
of the country as the growth . in
density of population, the increase of
cities and town in close proximity to
one another, and the expansion of
tyslcin where they will benefit the
system as a whole by the growth of
traffic they create.
Another interesting , project of the
future will be the operation of an in
terchangablc steam and electric serv
ice over the same tracks, the electric
trains taking care of local business
while steam continues to handle the
through or long-haul traffic. Mr, Mayo
does not agree with those who expect
to see steam focotive become as
extinct as the dodo within the next
few years. He holds that the perfect
ing procc in the application of the
newer form of power, must: continue
jver a long period before the su
periority of electricity where sustain
ed speed is required for long distances
is conclusively attained.
In the field of freight handling the
same process o taking transportation
faculties direct to the people , is to
occur, Electric freight expresses will
take the place of way freight trains
operated by steam, which are not only
inefficient in meeting the demands of
present day trade for prompt commu
nication, but also interefcr with op-
eraiion of fast through freights, result
inj; in the congestion of traffic which
has been so much complained of by
shipper and railway men alike.
"All over southern New England,"
says Mr. Mayo, "the trolly express
is being introduced to take the place
of the lumbering way freight and of
the wagon express which was able to
compete with it, but is now being
abandoned before the competition of
electricity. There arc several of
these trolley express lines operating
from New Haven. One of them
rum over a loop which extends north-

THE "MESSENGER BOY OF FUTURE FREIGHT HANDLING"
surbtirban developemcnt continue.
Charles S. Mcllen, president of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, is the pioneer in this new
era of "intensive railroading" in the
opinion of Mr. Mayo who describes
the varons new plans of operation
which Mr. Mcllen is putting into ef
fect to bruiK the railway closer to
the people.
The two mechanical factors of pri
mary importance in effecting the
changes referred to arc given as 'el
ectricity and the -rail. The import
ance of the former comes from the
fact that cars can run cither singly or
in trains so that much more frequent
operation over more varied routes be
came possible. With the demonstra
tion that T-rails can be laid in city
strets without interfering with the
use of the roadway by wagons, it
becomes possible to operate the same
car in public thoroughfares and,
where high speed is necessary, over
private rights of way. The combinat
ion of the two makes it certain that
in the future the suburbanite will
be able to take a car near his home
in the country town that convey him
without change to a -point conveni
ent to his office inthe city, ; reduc
ing very considerably the time of the
journey as made at present and also
lessening the expense.
In thinly inhabited districts, the Ap
plcton's art'ele points out, where
steam roads would find it unprofitable
to operate, the railway will be taken
to the people through the'medium of
electric "feeders," such as the elabor
ate system of "lines . proposed by Mr.
Melon in western Massachusetts at a
cost of $10,000,000. Such lines can be
run profitably only as part of a 'com-,
prehensiive and strong transportation
ward to Waterbury. Freight mov
iing bet wen these two cities by steam
train formerly required from two to
four clays to reach its destination,
most of the time being consumed in
siop-overs on sidings. The trolley
express cars make two trips in each
direction daily, requiring about two
hours for the journey, and jroods del
ivered at the freight station in New
Haven in time for the early morning
trips are on the shelves of merchants
in Waterbury by the time their doors
are open to customers. When trade
is able to flow so easily and rapidly
betwen business centers its volume is
certain to increase and thus a given
territory is made to yield a larger
traffic crop in freight, as well as in
passengers."
The electric express car of course
is not confined to cities in its operat
ions. It takes the farmer's milk
and fruit and garden product to the
city market and deliver goods direct
to the door of the cross-roads store
away from the railway line. Since
it is as much easier matter to stop an
electric car than a freight train, the
trolly express can pick uo shioments
at any point along the line a great
convenience to the farmer.
In many respects the most remark
able development described in this
exposition of new railroading is the
"traclvless trolley," which Mr. Mavo
describes as "the, messenger boy of
tuture lreight handling business."
"The trackless trolley in aonear-
ance' he says, " is a combination of a
motor truck and a trolley car. It has
wheels, the threat which is unusual
ly wide and with just sufficient don-
cavity to hold them on the rails, so
that while they can be ooerated on thi
ordinary track they can be run also on
pavements or improved highways
without injury. The trackles trol
ly car possesses the advantage of be
ing able to run out long the trolley
tracks in any industrial community,
gathering power into its storage bat
teries from the feed wire as it runs,
and at any point it can turn off into
the highway to run along side the
loading platform of a manufacturing
plant or down an alley to get freight
direct from the door of a warehouse,
returning in the same way to the cen
tral freight station, " The storage
batteries, when fully charged will
carry the car 25 miles, so that
can cover a considerable ranee of
territory independently of tracks and
wire. '
"From this point it will be but a
step to the handling of all trucking
business having a large volume by the
igcncy of the consolidated transporta
tion system, Us is now done to a great
extent by the English railway. There
h no question that with the mechani
cal improvements certain to be realiz
ed within a comparatively few years,
including the general use of motor
trucks, it will be possible for the trans
portation companies to perform this
service more cheaply than it is now
done by scperate trucking concerns or
by the manufacturers themselves. At
the present time the New Haven re
ceives freight for any point at any of
its numerous pier in New York City.
Under this plan the manufacturer finds
it necessary to pay for trucking his
goods only a few blocks, saving the
cost of long wagon hauls through the
congested streets of the city. A still
greater economy will be introduced
when transportation companies have
their own mechanical tractors running
on established routes through the
cities, collecting goods to their central
freight station and handlimr everv
shipment from the doors of the factory
or the shop to the hands of the con
sumer through their own agencies."
Many other improvements are pointed
out as certain to come in the near
future. They are all.of what the
writer denominate "intensive rail
roading" the application to the trans
portation field of the same principles
used by the farmer who practices in
tensive agriculture. Thev have in
view the same 6bjcct, that is the- se
curing of larger crop of traffic by the
careful and scientific cultivation of a
restricted area. They are all work
mg towards what Mr. Mayo de
scribes as "an ideal that will be realiz
ed only when transportation facilities
are placed practically at every man's
floor."

A New Back for an Old One How
it it Done in Astoria.
The backaches at times with a dull.
indescribable feeling, making you weary
and restless; piercing pains shoot across
the region of the kidneys, and again the
loins are so lame to stoop it agony. No
use to rub or apply a plaster to the
back in this condition. I You cannot
reach the cause. Exchange the bad back
for a new and atronger one.
Mrs. Nancy Sewell. living on Jeffer
son treet, HiUaboro, Ore, ay: "I
have used Doan's Kidney Pills and think
very highly of them. My kidney were
too frequent in action and forced me to
arise many times during the night My
bock was so core and lame that I could
not stoop or bend over. I tried lini
ment and plasters, but without any
good results. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention .and
I procured a box. In a short time, the
pains left my back and my kidneys
were restored to thelp normal and na
tural condition. I am now well and free
from kidney trouble and do not hesi
tate to recommend Doan's Kidney Pill
to otner ufferers."
Plenty more proof like this from As
