"How to successfully compete with electric lines la the most serious prob lem the vast railroad interests of the United States have ever been called oa to solve, '. said William F. Berry, sec ond vice-president and - general trafllc manager of the Boston A Main road, thla morning. "Railroad officials all over the country," he continued, "saw the handwrtiin on tne wall, so to speak, when It was demonstrated a few yeare ago that electricity as a motive power had come o stay. "Car ean"be propelled by electricity At about one-half the expense of steam, Time wae when many of the larger cities had a system of steam motor ars on the main streets. These as 'well as horse cars have all been superceded by trlley cars.

The remarkable growth of suburban and interurban line haa practically forced the railroads from some of thetf most lucrative short' Una runs. I might cite Tacoma and Seattle aa an example.

The road la ten miles in length and the fare ia ten cents. Thla haa -forced aeven railroads to abandon alt attempts to secure the local trafflo between the two cities. The line also runs to Stillwater, a city JO mllea from 8t.

"But the passenger trafllc glvea but a small part of the1 profit. Moat of the interurban lines have been ao success ful that regular express, and freight trains are being run.

'By the Western paper J .see . that. a line is to be built fronv Portland to Hillsboro in competition with.the south ern Pacific. That bears out what I have just said. Another line that I hear some talk about Is from Baker .City through the valleys of Central Oregon.
