Editors Pust : It occurred to the writer that some of the readers of The Plant might be interested in a few facts concerning the elevated railroads of New York, especially some of the stockholders in the Dur ham Street Railway.

I will leave it for some of the graded school children (lower grades) to answer how much this amounts to per day and also how much per year. During the strike of street car drivers last year, the ele vate J roads carried 700,000 passen gers per day, and took in about $35,- 000 per day. This is more than both the Durham and Raleigh street car lines have made in two years. They should not be discouraged over their small beginnings. New York once was smaller than Durham is to day. 1 am informed that J. Gould owns a controlling stock in the elevated railways of New York. He invests in railroads and steamboats, while the Astors invest in real estate. The latter own block after block in New York, and are continually rolling up their wealth, now amounting: prob ably to seventy millions of dollars. . F. P. S. The street railways of New York carry more than the elevated roads, so you can imagine the nuin- bc' f Persons carried in a year. - It requires immense carrying capacity for a population of a million and a Uoe nt- .i. ,,fl,,Ult'WV:. vpni -vA I OU Iiave iOUDlie88 Te- , vcu "F"110 W1 uig uic m New York last evening which nnnap,i Hllh ft iMrllMinn pfrt .mn. eveutug, " - v.
