NOTES NORTHWEST L 7 Washington. An American inventot has so far perfected Jhe monorail system of railroad transportation that he has succeeded In convincing ordinarily roniervative and sane government authorities that a revolution In transportation methods is Impending, which will hardly be less significant than that which was caused when the steam railroad took the place long held by the stage coach and the canal. British,. American and German specialists in science and mechanics have for years been at work on the monorail. Idea, and an Irishman named Brennan has demonstrate-- to the satisfaction of the scientists, that bis project will work. It has until now been merely a question of whether It was worth while; or whether it would cost so much as to be of no commercial value. This element of commercial utility la believed to have been put Into the project by the American inventor. Recently he laid his plans before a member of the interstate commerce and explained what be had done and proposed to do. Briefly, he convinced his listeners that he could send a train across this continent at the rate of 200 miles an hour with less expense than would be required to haul a train of similar weight by present i methods in five days; that his plan was perfectly safe; that it would operate on a railroad "vhlch would cost about as much per mile for cost and maintenance as a standard road, and that his hystem will haul freight quite as well as passengers. The possibilities of such a system have naturally attracted a good deal of attention among people who have known of this Incident. That It should have made a real impreslon on a man accustomed to deal with cranks and forget thejr projects Is the unusual feature of It. ! ' ' train near Colbert.'
