An Electric Railway. TSc Feasibility of Running line from Tbornbur) to Durham An Unemployed I'ower at Eugenia Why not ttlllse II ? home f.nir jciirs .!",<>, at a meeting l.clil at Knnlii ili-v 10 discuss railway matters, and in these columns about tiir game time. The Advance suggest- id tlic feasibility of utilizing the mag- nificent |x>*cr, at present going to waste at F.u^'i ma, to operate an elec- tric railway from Thornbury to Dur- I am or elsewheie. That this scheme was not chimerical has been proven I'.v the success which Las bincc at- leudeil like ventured in Canada and tlie 1'nitid States Electricity is the roiniiij,' motive nowoi, and its pn.'duc- tiou lias been so cheapener* and JM i- f-jii d that in tome places its ua- has already made it a strong rival to steam. Whereas the years ago we Hearci'ly heard of such a thing, the i lectric railway is to-day compara- tively common, as the system is be- coming more perfect. Thii being the rase, what district in Ontario \\onld i i KIM- lii ntlitcu by such a line than the one in question ? The nature of ilir iM'iii' is no drawback to electric- ity where it would be to steam, MB I lie former can ovtrcoinc alinont any ^itdifiil, and certainly anything greater than would bu found on this loute, where *team would be nth ih helpless. Seme gentlcint'ii liavp, we under- stand, been giving this matter sonic thought and making estimate?, and l.i'\ have decided that silffi -ient )>ower could easily be Imrnessed at Kugenia to rnn a line of railway fifty Miles long, or twenty fivo miles on tach side of the power. It could also Mipply electric, ligliting along the louu.'. Ii would, of course, requite a l.tfgt! capital to build such a railway, I ni even so, that is not beyond the possibilities to secure if it can be shown that s.ich an HIM iin.-nt would (my a fair interest on the outlay That is the point. In common with many other* The Advance believes it would. It in at present a mail mute throughout, Mini a route over which there would be a very considerable and growing traffic. The mutter thould be Lronght to the attention of capitalists. Should such a railway < v< i be built it will make this one of tliu finest nmnufiotuting districts in the province. Our imgiiiftcenl and cheap waluipowers ensures that, with proper transportation facilities.
