He Cites the Suburban Busi
ness as the Greatest' Drain
on the Receipts of Profitable
Systems.
"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as horse cars have all been superceded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 law recognwes the
fact that one man cannot be carried
one mile' on a railroad for ls than
two oeuts without incurring loan, yel
there are many electric roads-In the i
country that carry a passenger twe: v
miles for Ave cents. In most otiw
states there are laws regulating the in here fo' confer, with business asso

made to fix the bounds of streetcar

charges for suburban trips in propor.
tlon.
Batuoad Xraored.
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.
A . passenger is carried between the
cities for. 60 cents. Before the projec
tion and completion of the lfo the
Northern Paciffc did almoat alt the local
business, except . a certalti percentage
that went to the Puget Sound steamers;
Since the . interurban1 started Its oars
the Northern Pacific haa abandoned the
field. y ''"',?
"New England 1 a perfect network r
ihterurbaif roads aid T ieBrnef recently
to Boaton, on which wfll be run not only
sleepers, but diners also. Thl Is strik
ing a soft spot In railroad circles, for
'Sleepers and diners tha railroads have
alwaya eonaldered peculiarly thair Wit.
"Minneapolis and St. Paul give an
other 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. Paul, and I heard only recently
that the river will be crossed and thd
line extended into Wisconsin.- At. that
rate the time la not far distant when
the electric roads will run into Chi
cago. "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. Jt is here that
railroads feel the greatest effect of the
competition. If unable to fight for pas
senger traffic they will aoon be unable
to force freight mto thejr own hands.
Tatar Outlook.
'I haveVetudied the situation care
fully, and to my mind the time not
far distant when the steam roads Will
have to grant concessions that have
never yet been suggested except In
Jest. Assure as electrlelty is a mo
tive power the time win come When one
can travel from coast to coast In ves-
tibuled, luxuriant eoachee, for probably
less tfian half the present cost.
'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. I also
am informed that the line from Seattle
n. , "li L
I O iacoma nan Ifwn . unrvrjvy irwin
the la,tter city to Olympla and will ulti
mately run through to the eoaat; As
I SHtd before the problem of steam rail
road existence will soon be forced upon
us.'
Mr. Berry is an old and experienced
railroad man. He is interested in min
ing and railroad affairs ijri the West and
elates. He spent some time this morn
ing with local railroad men and will
leave tonight for Southern Oregon.
