Tho Michigan Southern, NARROW GAUCE, PRACTICAL BUCOLSS OF THNKE-FOOT DAILWATS IN ‘THE WEST. To the Editor of The Clacasa Tribune? Cittcaao, Jan, 28.—'Tho bills recently introduce od in Congress for tho construction of narrow- Gauge ralwaye—ono from Washington to Cm- cinnat!, Chicago, and St. Loula; tho other from Takeo Erie to Omaha—have inipartod a renewed Interest to tho dizcursion of comparative maiits between the etandard gango (4 fuct 84 inchos) and the now or 3-foot syatom of railway con- struction. Ihave thought it worth whilo, there- fore, to giva your readers some facta regarding the progresa and practical working of narrow- gango roada, gathorod onatrip through Iowa, Kansna, Colorado, and Utah, Wuat littte railway builling there has hoon accomplished during tho past ecason, has been very largely confined to B-foot ronda. Deside oxtousions of those begua before, I found five now lines started, and a por- tion of cach put in operation, ageregating alto- gether 109 miles, When completed a: proposed, theso roade will add over 609 inites of narrow- fauge railray to the 1,700 already in operation in tho United States. This atatemont covers but a small part of natrow-gauge progroes in 1874, Deing Ilmited to tho ficld of personal observa- tion; indoed, so largely hae railway building since tho panic been confined to 3-foot roads, that many large manufacturors way that orders of this class of rolling stock havo alone kopt their shops from suspending work, Rolling-mills, alwo, that Lave hithorto disdained tho idea of making light iron, are now forced by tho changivg tido of ordors into equipping thom- eolves for turning out 39-pound rails. The pro- vailiay idea, iu localities whore no experience on the working of narroy-gaugo railwa: ble, seema to bo that thoy are a sort of ONE-HORWE AFFATH, good enough porbaps for branch lines or an un- sottled country where little business is done, but not suitable for o largo trafic. Such notions azo very quickly dispelled whon oncoa8-foot rond. gotsinto oporation. At Donver. you might as woll talk about the Chicago, Burlington & Quin- ey Railway being an exporimont au tu say it of tho Denver & Rio Grande. I took pains to talk witn tho loccmotive-engivecra and ather opor- atives on tho lines visited, nud found them all thoroughly converted to the narrow-gango sys- tem. ‘Though laughing st the pony ougines at first, thoy found them on trial always equal to thelr work, and handled with greater eaeo and eatisfaction than tho standard-gauge locomotives on witch thoy had proviously beon employod. AW TO ACCIDENTS, Wo hava yot to learn of any ssrious one occur- Ting on a 3-foot read, or of any accident wire over directly traceable to the natio of gouge. Acurwas once overturned bya whirlwind on the Donver & Rio Grande, but nnder the same circumstances the same thivg would have bap- poned toa wide-zauge car, aud, oven iu this ine stance, neither ear nor paniengers woro seriously ivjured, ‘Tho fact that th» body of a narrow gauge car is placed so mitch nearer the ground kerves groutly to diminwh the dauger when one hoppens to got off tho track.
