Furthermore, we would gala la tbs loading and nnloadlug.

But right hero we oome up against tho matter of motive power, and la that wa have reached tha limit of development under steam, so long a tha present gauge ta employed. Its ths Only Way Capacity Can Grow. "You will see why this la when yon remember that there are three ways la whlrh an engine can grow to get mors tractive power. It must either lie lengthened, be broadened, or he made higher. And ta nil three directions we have mads our engines grow aa far aa they ran on the present stand-ar- d guaga of four feet eight Did you ever ride in the cab of one of the modern freight locomotive?

"But perhaps It 1s chimerical . to think now of rebuilding the railroads of the entire country and of replacing tbe entire railroad equipment If so, what Is tha next best thing? "Obviously electricity. Aud I believe that the railroads will have to come to that, not only for tbe purpose of getting to a larger unit of motive power aad of distributing It over the traln-kiad- , but on account of the foal proposition. That brings up another phase of ths existing conditions. We have to use up fuel to carry our fuel, and there era certain limitations along this Una. Just as much aa there are In the matter of ear capacity or nf motive power, particularly when you consider tbe distribution of the coal producing regions with rsspsot to the major a value of traffic. "The great saving resulting from the use nf electricity Is apparent, quite aside from the matter of increasing 1b tractive power and tbe trainlned, hut thaOlg thla additional consideration, that when yoa are operating by electricity you are not losing money when you atop ywir train. That must not be lost right af. The train n lakes money when It la going somewhere, when it la carry something that somebody wants. When it stops It ceases to make money and becomes a losing proposition because ft goes right on bnraing coal without doing any work. Your electric train when It stop isn't using np any power, and the only fuel waste la' that incidental to tbe maintenance of tha ayatem. It All Meana Oraatar Expanse.
