Iff FOUR TRACK EAST TO WEST Vanderbllt Byrtem Doubles Tacilitie from Hew York to Chicago PLANS ARE BEING HURRIED ALONG rtfcwestera Thea Will Have Clear 1 Sway' from Omaha to Em pire City Ceaatry. riann have been carried out which will Increase the trackage system of the Van derbllt roads from Omaha Into New Tork city. Five million dollars are to be ex pended on the venture. The Northwestern already f ft double track road from Omaha to Cl.lcaso and the New Vork Central la four track from New Tork to Buffalo. The connecting link la the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and work already Is under way for two more tracka between Chicago and Buffalo, thus completing the chain. ... A law quantity of steel rails Is being distributed, along, the Lake Shore between Buffalo and Cleveland and several tons more of the rails will be needed before the tracks are completed. With the Improve ment now -under way. It also will become necessary to enlarge the railroad yards of the Vanderbilt system, and It Is understood Omaha Is to receive a share of attention. . Five million dollars already have been ex pended an the ,Lke Shore In the last two year In the way of Improvements between Chicago and Buffalo to wipe out curves and grades, and much attentnon Is now beUig given to the enlargement of the facilities for the handling of raln. About ,B0,000 worth"of hew' equipment also" has been ' bought, and a redistribution of heavy mo. tiva power Is being made on the different divisions. Some of the bridges have been found too light to sustain the heavy trains that are passing over them, and this baa furnished another item of expense. One DtfBealty to Be Met, While the Increasing business of the sys. tern has made necessary the Improve ments now under way, the short subsidiary lines or feeders have, in recent years, in creased In number more rapidly than have the transportation facilities of the main line. This is one of the difficulties that is no- being remedied. An Omaha' represen tative of one of the Vanderbllt lines said: "There Is" another feature of railroad ing which has made the improvement ne cessary and one which the general public would overlook.' This Is the constantly in ert wing shortage of car service. Tracks are congested, and car are apparently continually diminishing in number, in spite of the fact that every year an enormous sum is put into new freight cars. For a Jong time is was a source of marvel as to what became of the cars. They . disap peared about as fast as the shortage was replenished. "Investigation has shown the cars are tied up 'as the result of congested lines. Cars cannot be moved forward to their destination 'and the result is they are used ; as warehouses. 'Every year this trouble is getting worse and the hope Is indulged that by increasing . the carrying facilities of the system this trouble will be overcome, in a large measure at least, for we cannot expect to wipe it out entirely. "The Improvement in the passenger de partment alone will be tremendous, for it gives the Vanderbllt system a double track from Omaha to the Atlantic seaboard." Obstacle to Gasollae Motor. While the Union Pacific has temporarily discontinued the experiments with Its gas oline motor engine, the idea Jiaa not been entirely abandoned. It was with cheap motive power as the end In view that the Union Pacific began a aeries of experiments and constructed a model, but the company is not yet satisfied with the machine. In general appearance the motor resembles a combination of auto mobile and locomotive. The machine has been stored away for the present, but it Is the intention to resume the experiments. It Is understood that Mr. McKeen, superin tendent of motive power and machinery, has several new ideas which he expects to carry out in the construction of the ma chine, and which' It Is believed will bring about satisfactory' results in the operation of such a motor. He declines, however, to discuss the subject. Railroad men are con fident a successful gasoline motor can be built. One of the Union Pacific machinists said: "Nothing has been done with the motor of lata. Naturally there is considerable speculation as to whether it will be a suc cess, but I don't see why It can't be made to work. The superintendent has hopes of doing something with It, and some of the experts down at the', shops think it can be made to work. Such a motor may work for light passenger hauls, but In my opin ion it never will be a success for anything but very light trains. "Even our heaviest locomotives are racked all to pieces by the big hauls they have and they have to undergo frequent repairs. J have every confidence in the successful operation of a gasoline motor for light passenger hauls, but the great difficulty Is that neither gasoline nor electricity Is reliable enough to be used in a country of long hauls like the west. For this reason It Is doubtful that they will supersede steam for 'years to come. You V The diver dies without air to breathe.

Piorcc's Pleaamtit Petlcts deanas the cked sytcm bam ecctnaalamll can get a train through with steam when running under difficulties whers any other power with the same obstacles to over come would fall. This is one of the objec tions in the way of a gasoline motor. We have not given up the idea entirely, but nothing has been done with the motor ot late although, I believe, experiments are to be continued In the hope of solving the problem of a cheap and reliable motor machine powerful enough to do the work on branches where steam is found unprofitable." Nearly all the Burlington representatives of the passenger department who attended the meeting at St. Louis have returned. L. W. Wakeley, general passenger agent for Omaha, returned this morning. He said the business program of the officials was interfered with owing to the unex pected death of H. B. Segur, general agent for the "company at Atchison. He. expired suddenly Tuesday morning while standing on the plaform of the station at St. Louis. The meeting of the passenger men was adjourned when the news of the demise be came known., About' fifty passenger rep resentatives of the system were repre sented. Mr. Wakeley said: "The fair la magnificent, and people who decide not to go will make a mistake. The weather Is delightful and the crowds are getting larger. St. Louis has been afraid the attendance would not be large enough to make the exposition a financial success, but the receipts are becoming more encouraging I know of no attraction that stands out rrjore than another. Everything has been carried out on a large and magnificent scale. At . night the grounds blase with light and the buildings at a distance are outlined by gleaming, lines of fire. The effect against the dark back ground is beautiful. The time to see the fair is now, as the display is now complete. M . Removal of Offices. New offices have been secured by the Erie Dispatch on the fourth floor of the Karbach building. B. J. Drummond, the local agent for the company, says he is highly pleased with the new quarters, as it brlnss hta office closer to the retail center of the city, from where a large share of the business of the company is de rived. The Missouri Pacific expects to move Into new quarters on the first of the month. The building at the corner of Fifteenth and Farnam streets, formerly occupied by Kelley, Stiger Co., is now being fixed over for the company, which will occupy the west half of the building. The east half will be .occupied by the Megeath Stationery company. Mr, aad Mrs. Climbers Will reopen their School of Daubing im Farnam street, September 23, compli mentary reception, by1 card only.
