Oieat Dream Book of Metropolis l.s closes a Hair-Raising Plan to Con nect New York by Way of Scran ton, Eile and the Great .Lakes with Great Northwest Before Allowing Readers to Revel in These Flights' of Fancy, Some Facts Are Respect fully Presented for Th : Delecta tion.

The dreamer "vlil-ntly woke up before he could de finitely locate the other terminal. Its a good story even though It is frayed slightly at the end. Locally theie has alio been some dt earning and while it Is not of th soaring, plpey kind that the great metropolitan dream book furnishes !t Is nevertheless quite roseate, und though only a dream, must be pleas int to Sctantonlans to contemplate. Irf NOT IMI'OSSIHDi-: The local dream is not altogether im possible of realization. In fact it Is not at all difficult to give it a stroni; coloring of probability. Its main feature Is tho ultimate banishment ot soft coal from the east. This Is to be the result of lower rates on anthracite, consequent upon tho competition that will ensue when the new railroad Is a leallty. At present, soft coal Is carried, so It Is alleged, at one-sixth the tariff Im posed on hard coal, The new road can build Its lino at a remurkably low cost, because of the cheap right of way and there being practically id grading to do, and Its cost of opera tion will be correspondingly small by leason of the fact that the road Is ex ttemely level. The cost of construc tion per mile, according to Gpoi-ko G. Williams, president of the Chemical National bank, and a director of tho new road, will be $33,000 per mile, as against five times that much, the cost of same of the coal carrying roads. I As to operation, It Is figured that it will be possible to haul 3,000 tons with one engine, from Wimmer's Summit f tide woter. Saturday lust, S. D. Coykendal!, whose foresight contributed the can-il bed to the new enterprise, secured p si Fesslon of all the Delaware and Hudson company's real estate on both sides of Itoundout Creek, between Kingston and Kddyvllle, Including the big coal pockets at the terminus of the old cann. The consideration was $150,000. It Is possible that the company will lighter Its coal from Kingston to New York. It was at first understoo'1 the now line would reach New York from Kingston over the West Shore. WILL START AT 1IAWLKY. As stated In The Tribune the new line will be built from Hawiey. Tin charter calls for a road from Lack- j awaxon to Kingston, but actually It I will be from Hawiey. The link be tween Hawloy and Laekawaxen will be built as an extension of the Krle j and Wyoming. , The latter road was originally built to Laekawaxen but tho section between Hawiey and Laekawaxen was leas -d to the Krle and that lease Is still in force and will continue In force for a number of years yet. The new com pany cannot wait for the expiration of the lease and not being willing to have Itself tied up with ,the Krle even for so short a distance, decided to build nnother line between Hawiey and Laekawaxen and have a through i Independent route from end to end. I The organisation or the new com,- pany of course means the death or i at least Indefinite shelving of the Now York and Wyoming, the much talked- i of Independent operators' road. The operators' association will meet, at noon today In special session to re- I ceivo a report of tre committee up- pointed to find an independent outlet ' to New Yuik. R. L Kuller was the committee. V. L. Fuller devised and carried out the organisation of the Delaware Valley and Kingston road. V.. L l'uller will teport to the associa tion today that he has found the relief looked for. The latiflcatlon of his re port will be a matter of form. THK JOURNAL'S DRKAM. Appended Is the beautiful dream that appeals In yesterday's Journal accom panied by charts, diagrams and por traits: The wonderful industrial uctlvity of the country and the unpiecedented need of coal in consequence of it, together w Ith the demand for raw materials, of all kinds, are making gieat changes In the tallro.id map of the East and Can adn. Tho most Important addition to be made In this region will be the build ing of a rival line of the Krle railroad to Krie, Ii brought about by the ac tion of the 'Pennsylvania Coal company in determining to build Its own line from tidewater to the coal fields of I'astern Pennsylvania. The eastern terminus will be at Kingston, N. Y The establishment of additional stenmshlp lines on the lakes from Ible to Hault Ste. Marie, and the building of a new railroad tapping tin Canadia'i Pacific north of Satilt Ste Marie, On tario, and running to St. James" hay, a I southern water of Hudson bay, com- I Vletes a new schemeof development not so fascinating but perhaps of greater ' Industrial Importance than the open ing 01 me vuicon gout news. While the action of the Pennsylva nia Coal compan Is professedly nn In dependent opeiatlon. It Is too coinci dental with the other plans not to be consldeted as a patt of the vast whole. There was Incorporated In Albany last Thursday the Delaware Valley and Kingston Uallroad company This Is tho name of the road behind which Is the Pennsylvania Coal company one of the richest coal mining concerns In the Tnlted SMates. Its fields are In the So-nntnn district. It has for years been dependent on the Rrle railroad, domin ated by J. Plerpont Morgan, for the transportation of Its output to tide watpr. The Pennsylvania company has practically been at th? mercy of Mr. Morgan's vast Interests, which Include not only a network of railroads, but a large number of coal mines. Its offi cers have long been looking for some Independent outlet, and at laBt they havo found It. Tim NEW LINE. The new lino will extend from Kings ton, on the Hudson, along the collide of th old Delaware and Hudson canal, to Laekawaxen, on the state line be tween New York and Pennsylvania. From Hawiey, Pa twelve miles south west of Laekawaxen. the comnanv I owns the Erie and, Wyoming Valley railroad, which runs from Hawloy to the Scranton coal fields. A rnllrond will be built between Hawiey and Laek awaxen, which will complete the Dela ware Valley and Kingston railroad sys tem The Pennsylvania Coal company, thciefore. will be able to put Its coal aboard Its own cw and bilng It direct to Kingston, where i-xtcnslvo terminal facilities will be ananged. Among the dlroctois of the new road Is Mr. Samuel D Coykeiulail. who Is at the head of a steamboat and bulge company opeiatlms 11 line on the Hurt son between Nuw Ynk and Kingston. Additional barges and boats will be put in use. so that coal can be delivered In New Ynik city, or taken ncross the liver and hauled to Poston, Bridge port, New Haven, Springfield and other eastern points. Speaking of this nv project, George O. Williams, of the Chemical National bank, of this city, who Is n director of the new road and also of the Pennsyl vania Coil company, said yesterday: "The Pennsylvania Coal company has plenty of money and Its object In building this new line Is to have an Independent outlet to tldewatel for Its coal output In the Scianton fields. It does not mean that we shall wage war on the Erie railroad. It simply means that we ale to be Independent of the Erie railroad " Asl-ed If the bulldlnt; of the Dela ware Vallej and Kingston tallroad had nn thing to do with the new railroad piojectert from Erie to the Scrartoti district. Mr. Williams ald ho knew nothing of the latter scheme, lie was only Interested In the 'Pennsylvania Coal compartv It l said, however, on pood author ity, that the Delaware Valley and Kingston railroad to Scranton and the projected Krle Eastern railroad, re cently organized to lay tracks between Erie and the coal roBlon. will form pan of a new system which will be a powerful competitor of the Erie rail road. TEUM'NAL FltANCHISE. Less than a week ago this last named company applied to the select council of the ciiy of Erie for terminal fran chises, which would permit it to use certain streets on the water front tor tracks and piers. Mr. Michael Llobel, one of the incor poiatois of the Erie Eastern, speaking befoie the council, said. "We are here in good faith. We want the franchise and we will butld the railroad." He spoke of the strides made by Buf falo and Cleveland, which had left Eile behind, notwithstanding Erie had tie meiidous advantages. The council took a most favoiable view of the petition, and there is a likelihood that the fran chise will be granted. The Erie railroad is not remaining Inactive in the presence of these move ments, which will certainly have a seri ous effect upon its revenues. It Is hav ing a survey made across Wayne coun ty. Pa., connecting with its Jefferson britmh nt Biandt.Susquphanna county, which will materially shorten the dis tance between New Yoik and Eile nnd Buffalo. It will put Honesdale, the county seat of Wayne county, on the main line of the Erie. With new trallle connections with tidewater in the essential metropolitan district Erk is also reaching westward, and events are taking place on the lakes which make tho present develop ment look like the beginning of a new era. In connection with the building of the Erie Eastern will be the establishment of the new line of steamers from Erie to Satilt Ste Marie, through the canals of which a greater traffic passes than through the Suez canal The town covers both the American and Cana dian shores, and is destined to be one of tho most important distributing points In the growing Canadian north for timber and minerals To the north of Sault Ste. Marie Is a vast legion, rich In timber forests coal, copper nnd Iron, which has hith erto remained untouched for the want of adequate transport facilities. It Is notable that Just at the time when the new Eastern system Is being projected a railroad Is being nlannei from Sault Ste. Marie to the southern shores of St James bay. In the Hud son bay. RATE TO THE NORTHWEST. Not only Is the new road to connect the Great Lakes at the "Soo" with the Hudson bay. but It will intersect the Canadian Pacific railroad at a point where ready access will be had with tho great mineral and agricultural re gions of British Columbia. Starting from Sault Ste. Marie, the line will extend ti little west of north to Michlplcoten, on the northern shore of Lake Superior. From that point It will take Its course In a northerly direction, intersecting the Canadian Pacific- railroad at Oras sct. thence northeastward to the val ley of the Moose river, and up that valley to the St. James bay region. It Is probable that the terminus of the road at the north will be very near the watois of the bay. if not actually nt a port or harbor on the bay Itself. The road has already been completed prac tically between Sault Ste. Marie and Michlplcoten, Ont. Construction trains are now running over a part of this route. The importance of touching at Michl plcoten lies in the fact that Iron mines are situated In that locality and some gold mines are situated there, The 01 e em be brought to the great power plant at the "Soo." The connection of this Western pro Ject with the 1. astern schemes, already outlined. Is made plainer when It Is told that Pennsylvania capitalist are also hack of the Canadian lallroad to St. James bay. Another Industrial value of the Hud son Pay railroad, as it will be called. will be the development of the wood pulp forests. Those Interested propose to make Sault Ste. Maile the greatest wood pulp manufacturing centre In America. The Hudson Bay lallroad will prac tically bo a transcontinental line with Its eastern connections The building of the Pennsylvania Coal comnanv road will go far to obvi ate coal families, such as naw threat ened. The present scarcity of coal is due almost .solely to the fad that the Unfile facilities are Inadequate. There is paiticularly just now in the metropolitan regl ,t a shortago of soft coal. Thoe who control the output of bituminous coal are In a position 'o ask about what they pleao for It, and the price has gone up within the past two months from S2 to jn 25 a ton. Till applies to coal at the piers ready for unloading. A promlnejnt coal dealer said yesterday that If till- big roads had Canned Vegetables and California Fruits. Lowest wholesale prices to families. E. G. Coursen Wholesale aud Retail. lfflT17 HvTliW! T twlco their number of tracks and twice their number of cars there might b some hope, of flupplylng the present do inand for soft coal. The continuing mild weather has made tho Impending famine lers fell thnn It might have been otherwise. The supply of iilithtarjte coal Is also short Coal nun regard the situation as serious, and do not see anv Immedi ate hope of Improvement. ELECTION CONTEST EVIDENCE.

Negotiations for the transfer of tho West llldg rolllery, on North Main avenue to the Scranton Coal cotnpnny have been practically completed. Thy preliminaries have all been attended to and the formal transfer will take place today. John B. Keir. vice-president of the, New York, Ontnrto and Western Uall road company of which the Scranton Coal company is a branch, conduct d the negotiations which were entered upon about six months ago when the Ontailo and Western first began Its campaign for a bigger share of the Lackawanna Valley coal output. T. C. Von Stench, E. A. Clark, George Clearwater and Alfred Har vey were the principal Individual share hnldeiH in the Wesl Uldge company. The Ontario and Western company also had a good sired holding. These principle stockholder; transfer their Interests to the Scranton Coal com pany and eventually the other minor stockholders are expected to do the same, thereby giving the Scranton Coal company full nnd complete con trol of the woiks. The acquisition of this new colliery will give the Ontario and Western company an added tonnage of l.'O.COO tons annually. Already the company is carrying the output ol eight or nln of the best collieries alcng the upper valley. Through the f-crhnton Coal company It has acquired the Pine Brook, of Scranton; the Elk Hill C0.1l unci Iron company's llichmond col liery at Pricehurg and Blchmondale colliery at Ulchmondale and the Blue Bldge and Ontario nij.xr Peckvllle. It also controls the shipments of the Riverside at Peckvllle." the Kaymnnd, of which Thomas Jones and J. J. Wil liams are principal owners, and has contracts for a share of the output of the Temple Iron company's Northwest colliery and the Mt. Pleasant Coal company's colliery on the West Side. With the .Ontario, and Wes'tern branching out nfter mote coal and tho entrance of the new Delaware Valley and Kingston road Into the fight for a share of the coal carrying business some lively competition may be looked for.

"These election teturns are the best I ever handled," said Attorney .lolrr. M. Harris Friday as he scanned over the return sheet which had been hand ed to him by one of jth file clerks. Mr. Harris was supervising the count of the vote cast In this county Tuesday in place of one of the judges and a return sheet from every district In the county came tinder his eye for scrut iny. "There has been n steady and very perceptible Improvement In the man ner In which election boards during recent years have prepared their re turns," continued Mr. Harris, "miuI now there Is no very great cause foi complaint on the part of those who have charge of the compiling an 1 com putation of the vote.
