Construction Gangs Are Now Working On It Interest. in. tho great Electric Railroad that will cut down the running time between be-tween Chicago and - New York to ten hours and carry passengers at a $10 fare, continues unabated. People who were skeptical at first as to the reality of such a gigantic project have now become convinced con-vinced by tho actual showing of work already al-ready clone. The first grading was begun on the first day of September, and every day sees additional right of way made for track laying. The Chicago-New York Electric Air Line Railroad will run over a track that scarcely verges from a straight line In its entire course of 750 miles, thereby making the distance 150 miles shorter than the shortest existing steam railroad line. Over this direct route will be run hourly electric trains at a speed that will reach a maximum of 100 miles an hour and maintain an average of seventy-five miles. No steam road could ever have hoped to do lifts, because be-cause It would have been impossible to carry enough fuel and water to maintain such a speed Moreover, the limit of human hu-man endurance has been reached by the stokers on steam locomotives. According to Warren Stanford Stone. Chief "of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, a stoker on a steam locomotive shovels as high as twenty-five tons of coal on a single trip. The new electric engines have no such handicap, for ample and uniform power comes to them at all times from mammoth powerhouses located fifty miles apart along the line. Their rotary motors run without thump or Jar and enable them to do work under which a steam locomollvo would not last six months. There Is not the slightest question that the road will be built and In running order on schedule time. Every one of Its original projectors is a practical rarlload man nnd their personal honor and standing stand-ing are such as to guarantee the complete success of tho project. Thoy havo placed their entire fortunes Into the enterprise and havo urged their personal friends to do the same. Aurora Road Shows What Electric Rapid Transit Can Accomplish. Tho Aurora, Elgin & Chicago Railroad has shown the world the marvelous possibilities pos-sibilities of long-distance electric traction. trac-tion. The story of this unique project Is a talo of success from start to finish. Fortunes have been mode by tho men who had tho courage to breakawav from precedent and do something that tlie railroad rail-road world said could not be done. Over this fifty-seven mile lino full trains are run at a speed that sometimes reaches ninety miles an hour. Ladles on the electric elec-tric cars wave a swift good-by to tho passengers on the two steam roads which run parallel to It, the electric cars going by so fast that the steam cars seem not to move at all. This road was built in the face of pessimism and ridicule. Nobody outside of its promoters thought It would succeed, suc-ceed, and especially was this true of the magnates of the two rival steam roads which It parallels for Its entire length. They laughed and said the electric road would get no patronage worth mentioning, mention-ing, that people would not dare to ride at such a speed, etc., etc. Thev were not good prophets, for we now have tho every-day reality of a success beyond the wildest dreams of the electric road's best friends. Every train that runs Is filled to Its fullest capacity, and the trains contain con-tain as many cars as the engines can draw without a sacrifice of speed Dining Din-ing cars and buffet are provided, and to the minutest dotal! everything Is most luxurious, comfortable and convenient. In the live years that tho road has been running not one serious accident has occurred. oc-curred. The Aurora road has been the greatest money maker of any electric project ever floated, making rich men out of somo who hod but nominal fortunes at the outset. So great is tho earning power of this road today that it pays Interest on securities se-curities amounting to more than ten million mil-lion dollars and Is one of tho greatest railroad successes the world has ovor known What this road hna done will be done on an Incomparably greater scale I by the new electric line between Chicago and New York. The pleasure and comfort of electric travel, together with its great speed, appeals ap-peals to the average person so strongly that he avails himself of them when he can No smoke or cinders smooch the passengers, no sickening stench from cattle cat-tle trains befouls the air. and one Is not Jolted from side to side, or lurched around curves. There aro practically no curves on a hlgh-spood electric line, for such a speed cannot be. maintained except over a str;ilghtaw;iy course. Whorcvor electric lines have been Introduced In-troduced they havo brought, about new conditions, seeming to create a class of traffic peculiarly their own and making money where the wise ones said It could never be done. In tho case of the Aurora, Au-rora, Elgin & Chicago road, the only high-speed electric road :is yet In actual operation, two etoam roads p-raiel It t tic entire wal, and yet the electric road has hullt up an enormous traffic of Its own without appreciably crippling either of the steam orads in their suburban patronage. The electric rond presents such delights of travel that new traffic Is actually created out of n class of peo- i pie who havo heretofore traveled but llt-tlo llt-tlo or not at all. New Road Encounters Few Obstacles. The histories of most of tho steam roads read like political melodramas. Bribery and corruption of "State and National Na-tional dignitaries was looked upon as being as essential as Ihe laying of rails, Industries' were throttled, coal mines forced Into line and right -of-wav secured by tho most desperate tactics. No such struggles will be necessary In tho construction of the Chicago-New York Air Line Railroad. Most of the large cities are not absolutely crossed by the right-of-way, but lie very close to It- This has given the project all of the advantages and none of the difficulties difficul-ties encountered by the steam roads. The line Is, In most cases, Just near enough so that an Insignificant spur of a few miles long will, for all practical purposes, pur-poses, locate the line beside the city, whllo It is Just far enough away to escape es-cape political or similar obstacles. N.ver was a railroad project launched with so few difficulties confronting It. Everywhere along the line manufacturers manufactur-ers and other power consumers welcome It, because of the low-priced surplus power tho new road can sell them. Thousands Thou-sands of homes will glow brilliantly from the electric lights supplied from the samc$ source, a feature that Is bound to make friends for the road from one end of tho line to the other. The problem of grade crossings has not only been solved, but done awav with. The Chicago-New York Electric Air Line Railroad will be the first example ex-ample In railroad history In which no other road, highway or street Is crossed "at grade'" or on the same level The new road will either go under or over all such obstacles, a feature which saves all .the time that existing steam roads lose by their "slowdowns" at crossings, and enables the electric train to main-lain main-lain Its marvelous speed. The Chicago-New York Electric Air Line road has among lis staff the very man who secured every foot of the right-of-way for the Aurora. Elgin & Chicago Electric road and was one of tho most prominent factors In hrlnglncr about Its great sliccess. There are also among its officials several men who were actively connected with the Burlington road, two of them In tho operating department. It is a well-known nnd universallv acknowledged ac-knowledged fact that the Burlington has graduated more successful railroad experts ex-perts than any other road In the country, coun-try, and the success of the new electric road will be assured In no small degree by these two men. No Makeshift Plnns for the New Electric Elec-tric Road. Tho builders of the Chicago-New York Eloctric Air Line Railroad have determined deter-mined that no matter of expediency shall cause them to build with only today In view and to forget tomorrow. Manv a minor curvo or grade might bo left untouched, un-touched, and hundreds of thousands of dollars saved In original cost, but they must and will be straightened out and leveled down Every curve and grade that Is left In a roadway to save construction con-struction cost constitutes a permanent drag on the operating cost for all time, an expense that exceeds what it would havo cost to do the thing right in the first place by a thousand-fold. The constructionists con-structionists of the new electric road are pursuing no makeshift policy. If a curve or grade exists and ought to bo removed It will be removed. Wherever tho now electric line crosses a steam road It will go over or under It. The roadbed will be the most solldlv built of any in the worl. the high speed of the rtains necessitating new calculations calcu-lations on I his score. It will be "ballasted" "bal-lasted" with crushed granite throughout Its entire length, and 100-pound steel rails will he used. Power houses will bo SO miles apart, and will keep a "third rail" constantly charged with 5000 electrical horsepower. Every pnrt of tho manchlnery will be In duplicate, so that no hreakdonw can possibly pos-sibly affect the running of the high-speod trains. Somo of the power houses are located lo-cated near coal mines, the screenings of which can be had at such low prices that tho total cost of power will ho greatly great-ly reduced thereby, I Is even contemplated contem-plated to use somo of the sulphur-ladon coal of Michigan, ji coal that sells at a very low figure because lis sulphur destroys de-stroys ordinary hollers. This coal can readily be burned under boilers of special spe-cial construction, and produces power at a cost way below .that of power derived de-rived from the ordinary steam locomotive. locomo-tive. Power derived from coal through direct burning under a locomotive holler compares with power produced from a e cntartlsshrdl shrdl shrdl shrdl hrdl central stantlon and through, electric motors mo-tors as .1 to S, and in favor of electricity. elec-tricity. When It comes to safety electric power Is so superior to steam that there Is hardly any comparison ot nil. The danger dan-ger fj'om fire Is Insignificant, tho danger from explosion eliminated, and tho danger dan-ger from bearkdown duo to crystallization crystalliza-tion practicaly done away with. It Is well known that a constant thumping on any kind of metal tends to mako it crystalline, cry-stalline, with danger from cracking ever present. Evory body knows how a steam locomotive Jolts and thumps, and It at once becomes evident why many railroad rail-road accidents occur on steam lines. On electric lines, the motor being rotary and working without any thumping whatovor. It can clearly bo seen how electric transportation trans-portation Increases the safety of every One of the Hundred-Mlle-an-Hour Eloctric Engines That Will Take a Train to New York In 10 Hours. , ' H : . : rH passenger, even when going at the highest high-est speed. Electric Line Will Build Up Many Great Fortunes. The time has come when the people ought to own tho railroads, and thoy are going to own them. The Chicago-Now York Electric Air Line railroad Is the great entering wedge. When this road Is built the farmer can look out upon his grain fields with the contentment that comes from knowing that when the harxest ripens, the bulk of his earnings won't go into tho Jaws of a greedy railroad, as excessive freight charges. Tho manufacturer and small freight shipper will e able to get his product through as quickly and cheaply as any other shopper. No longer will the small shipper bo fooled with the sickly excuse that "we can't get cars." while he sees hlB big rival's goods go whisking along through "pull" and favoritism. But, what Is the best of all, tho small stockholder, and ther Is no reason that It should not be you. will have an Investment Invest-ment that will make him financially independent. in-dependent. The conditions that made possible the building up of America s greates fortunes arc many times more promising than they wore in the olden railroad "days. The old steam roads, being loaded down with debt, waterlogged with over-capl-tallzation, and worn to their marrowbones marrow-bones by their fearful struggle to pay dividends on securities that stood for false values, ore In no position to sacrifice sacri-fice their millions of Investment and hulld a through electric line like the Chicago-New Chicago-New York Air Line railroad. Tt took new blood, the courage to do it: it took faith that the project was so big and broad and well-conceived that the necessary hundred and fifty million dollars would be forthcoming. The profits that this great electric road will -mako for tho stockholders aro almost bevond calculation, while tho natural rise In "value of the shares because of the extraordinary ex-traordinary earning power is likely to be such that an investment of 5100 at the reduced re-duced price at which the first shares are marketed may. at the end of a few years, stand for a quoted market value of S2000. and yield a yearly income of S200 If It does this, and It is not at all unlikely that it will, the man who invests in-vests 5500 'In Its shares now will havo a yearly Income of 1000. Of course, the only time such colossal can bo made is at the verv start. After the first section of the road Is built and tho people see it in actual working order, see t rolling up profits and making money like a mint, there will be slight reason to ofter the shares at any considerable sacrifice, at wo arAsdweShave said, nothing con stop . the building of this road. If the projectors are compelled to bluld It unaided by popular pop-ular stock subscription, and as the rond will earn thousands upon thousands or dollars more for every day its completion comple-tion Is hastened. It has been planned to make it a people's road in every sense. The road will undoubtedly commence earning money within one year from date, and will do It by opening up d operating operat-ing the first section, a stretch of track about one hundred miles long, and end n at Goshen. Ind. This section runs t"ro"gi a region peculiarly rich In traffic possibilities possibil-ities Running through the towns of WhlUng. Hammond. Toleston. Hobart. Checterton. Garv. New Carlisle, La Porte. SotUh Bend. Elkhart. Goshen and many nthprs it serves a population of lPO.iiuo. I ifis beer shown that electric service through a region of this character yields a gross tralffic Income of from J 50 ner capita of population. Lven at the lower estimate of S10 per capita, the gross profits figure up to one million n lne hundred thousands dollars. Our operating expenses will not exceed 50 per cent of the gross receipts, and this would I leave net earnings of nine hundred and fifty thousands dollars (S950.000) on a section of road only 100 miles long. This would enabTo the road to pay dividends o about 133 per cent on the money Investod-Thee Investod-Thee figures are startling, of course, but are baseTl on facts, and on what has been iione bv other electric roads. Tt Is a matter of statistics that the operating expenses of t'u,cs10r v.'ere only nG per cent of the gjoss 10- C8The moment such a showing Is actually made, the prlco of stock will go up b caps and bounds, the second section will be built In record-breaking time with the ample funds that the stock sales have brought, and the completion of the line from Vhlcago to New York wil follow rapidly. The stock of the company will begin to pay dividends as soon as the first hundred miles section lconiplewd and, as we have shown at the Present price or shares theso dividends should be about IS por cent on the ' money Invented. In-vented. Tho new electric road will, in Its 750-mllo route, cross S5 steam railroads, rail-roads, most of them running diagonally fro north to south. Every one of these will net as a "feeder' to the electric line, because shippers will bo too much olive to their commercial Interests to overlook its advantages The local passenger traffic that will como ns fast as these feeder lines are crossed will bring In Immediate revenue that will assure dividend divi-dend payments long More the line Is completed to New York, wh Ho ultimately the freight receipts from this tributary tonnago will be enormous. New Electric Line Otters the Small Investor, In-vestor, an Unusual Opportunity. In projecting this road with the Idea that It should be built mainly by the savings sav-ings of small Investors by the peoplo overv safeguard for their money has been considered and adopted. All the lookholes that have made former railroad Investments Invest-ments risky except for peoplo of unusual Judgment, have been dono away with, and tlio whole proposition so simplified that nnyuodv can see at once that It is the soundest, safeflt and most promising Investment In-vestment that has ever been offered to tho public. We have already shown why It Is wiser to have the people own tho road: we will now show exactly why there Is mil tho slightest oloment of risk in buying tho shares of the Chicngo-New York Electric Air Lino i-allroad. cither for Investment or with a view of acquiring acquir-ing wealth very rapidly by their great Incroase In value as tho road gets Into working order. The Chicago-New York Electric .Mr Line road will cost about one hundred and fiftv million dollars to build. This monev i3 to he raised by tho sales of common stork, which Is tho only form of sccurllty that will bo issued. Tho oldllmc method of bonding si properly to the bursting point will not prevail in this enterprise. en-terprise. Not a dollar In bonds, preferred stock, or securities of. any kind will stand ahead of or tako precedence over the common stock. Evory man or woman that owns a dollar's worth of stock iu the Chicago-New York Electric Air Line railroad will be on an equal footing, first, last and all the time. The full par value of tho share Is $100. fully pnld and non-asscssablo. non-asscssablo. but. likei nil gigantic projects. Air Lino railroad Is therefore offered at a big sacrifice In order to quickly get tho road Into a position where It can begin to earn money. A portion of the S100 stock of tho Chicago-New York Electric Air Lino railroad is therefore offered at S2S per share. Tho shares that arc Investod In-vestod in at this low price of twenty-eight twenty-eight dollars will, when the road is finished, fin-ished, not only be worth their full par value, but many times their value. Shares of a certain bank In New "Vork City, that stand for S100 value, canot bo bought for less than 3000. The Great Northern R. R. shares, at a par of S100. sell in the open market for $293 Thero aro many such case, but none of them will vere show such a surprising rise as will th shares of tho new Electric line. Many a clerk, grocer, or plumber, carpen-ainny carpen-ainny a' clerk, grocer, plumber, carpenter carpen-ter or other man of moderate means, who has the foresight to realize the marvelous marvel-ous possibilities of this Investment and buv at present prises will be numbered among our rich men five years hence. Even a few hundred dollars invested at the price the shares sell for today will almost surely yield such an Income within fivo years that the holder thereof will never need to toll or work as long as he lives. , J . , Tho stock certificates aro given double wiliie and put beyond the power of man to make them worth any less than par by the following clause printed on them: This certificate will be accepted In payment for transportation to the amount of the par value of the shares of stock represented hereby, and at curront tariff rates over any part of the road In operation. This means that no matter what the certificate Is worth as stock, no matter what it Is quoted at. In the market, tho bearer thereof con step on to a ten-hour train for New York and pay his or her friends fare with It. or pay for freight to the amount of $100, and all with a certificate of stock that costs onlv 52S at the present moment. It Is evident, therefore, what an unusual opportunity op-portunity this stock offers. Nothing on earth can wreck Its value. From the moment the road begins to run trains, each share of stock will be just as good as monev; four times as good If bought at present prices. It will be easy to turn Into Instant cash If you don't want transportation, trans-portation, because any ticket broker will cash it at a small discount for brokerage, even In one year from date, when the first hundred-mllo section of the road is Inactual operation between Chicago and Goshen. The Earnings of the Road Will Be Beyond Be-yond All Percedent. The new electric road would command an enormous patronage even If it did not offer any advantage In speed, convenience conveni-ence or comfort over existing tseam lines, for Its rate of $10, which is just about one-half of present passenger rates, would command the traffic. But when. In addition addi-tion to tho fact hat the rate Is only $10, we add. the fact thai tho time Is only ten hours and the well-known advantages of electric over steam transit, there seems little reason to doubt that the old steam lines will be forced to lose a very large part of their present business, and the electric road will get It. Not only that, bu the new road, with its cheap fares, will enthuse new peoplo who have hitherto traveled little or not at all. to go on journeys, jour-neys, just sis summer rates do It now, to some extent, on steam roads. The Chicago-New York Electric Air Line Railroad will traverse the richest and most densoly populated part of the count ry- It Is not .a road to bo built on Garden of Eden theories, only to face sagebrush realities, as were some of the great steam roads, but will run through a countr ythat fairly hums with Industry, and between terminal cities tho wealth of which Is simply incalculable. Its passengers pas-sengers will he awnjllng its opening day In eager anticipation, and tho golden strca mof profits that will fill the pockets of Its stockohldexs will bring about a wonderful shifting of the wealth of the country. Many humble tradesmen and mechanics who havo had the courage and wisdom to Invest a few hundred dollars In the new electric road at its present low price will be the rich men of the next few years. The Chicago-New York Electric Air Line Railroad will dominate a territory having eight million six hundred thousand population, and this, by the time the road is built, will Incroase by one million. This Is the equivalent to twelve thousand population pop-ulation per mile of road, including branches. branch-es. The population that may ho safely calculated as living near enough to be regarded as tributary and likely to patronize pat-ronize the line Is twenty-six millions. Our experts have figured out that the earnings earn-ings from passenger traffic alone can hardlv fall below thirty-two million dollars dol-lars vearly .a sum which would enable the road to pay a very largo dividend. Some Idea of the neormous traffic between be-tween Chicago and New York may bo had when It is realized that every day In tho year sixty-eight through trains -are ru nbv tho various steam roads having these cities as terminals, and that some of those trains yield annual earnings of more than ono million fivo hundred thousand thou-sand dollars. The new electric road running Its trains In half the time at half tho cost of tho steam trains will undoubtedly secure tho bulk of the mall contracts and all of the through mall express business. Tho total to-tal mall and express contracts between Chicago and New York amount to many millions of dollars yearly, and tho cheap- ness. speed and other advantages of Iho electric road over any of tho steam roads are so evident that it is not unreasonable to suppose thnt most of this traffic will come to tho electric road. It will be a matter of business, pure and simple, for rt to do so. . Tho estimate of tho earning power of the Chicago-New York Eloctric Air Line Railroad as told heroin Is very conservative conserva-tive Such a gigantic enterprise is sure to bring about new industrial and economic eco-nomic conditions, nnd whllo we base our estimates of the earning power of the road largely on what has been done, thero Is reason to believe that tho earnings may run up to a point far heyond what we havo calculated. There Is one small electric elec-tric trolley road down In the rice country In Texa swhlch hauls both passongera and freight, nnd which earns over 100 per cent yeaily on Its stock. Of courso. this Is exceptional, but so aro the conditions that surround the Chicngo-Now York Electric Air Line Railroad exceptional. and a great deal more likely to produce jM spectacular results In dividends than any :JH railroad project that the country has ever -tH known. 'H Dividends from a railroad are surer 1 H than from almost any other kind of In- H veslment. from the fact that no great fire, huan02,osctt,S6 Sc755.5Gla .oTtnlnb I earthquake or other calamity can entire- obliterate and ruin the property. The in- jH vestment Is spread over such a wide ex- rH panse that It is an utter impossibility that , H more than a small proportion of It can bo 'JH wiped out of existence at any ono time. Trust funds, which seek only the safest investment, are more largely placed In -tH railroad securities than In any other way. The total value of the stock and bond se-curities se-curities of railroads in the United States tH amounts to about fourteen billion dollars. m which is about one-eighth of all the 1M wealth of the country. IH The Time to Invest Is Now Never Again Will tho Price Be So Low. Railroad fortunes aro the greatest for- -.rH tunes on earth. The man that plied up H untold millions by railroad Investments were not men who askedV every Tom, Dick and Harry what to do. what was ..H safe, what was good.

Here is a proposition with every ele- fl ment of risk absolutely done away with. Any man or woman can see that no mat- -H ter what the road might or might not earn, the clause on the slock certificates, making them Kood for transportation .stamps them with a kind of value that cannot get away. This makes every in-vestor in-vestor realize that no matter what comes he Just simply cannot lose one dollar if ho Invests In that stock. It is always good for transportation, and transportation is always as SO (I a money. But that is only a small part JH of the value of this stock. There can be no question that the road will be , built and will earn the enormous dividends as we have said it will Tho rise In JM value of Its shares is as certain as the rising of the sun. and lucky is the msrt whose foresight and good Judsmer.tj.n- .H able him to see the difference between 'H a safe and snne investment like this great electric railroad project, and the M many wildcat mining, oil well, rubber 1vH plantation and other schemes that havo shaken the investor's faith No man can predict what a mine will or will not I yield, even if he be honest; nobody can foretell the risks of climate or labor , difficulties that will kill the profits of rubber planting: not a man on earth can . forecast the volume, of oil that will flow from the mvsterlous depths of the earth. .i JH How different Is a railroad project from all these rlskv ventures; how solid and 'l.I substantial Is tho basis of Its earnings.
