When a railroad was first put into operation between Chicagoand Elgin in 1848 some Chicago merchants gravely expressedthe opinion that railroads and canals would ruin the city. Be-fore this road was opened farmers between these two citieshauled their products to town in wagons, which caused greatcongestion in the streets! Before the Railroads Made Chicago a lot at 144 Lake Street sold for $100. Twenty years later—in 1853—$64,000 could not buy this same property. Today $250 or more is paid fora square foot of down-town real estate in Chicago. In 1845 the business of one Chicago jewelry house amounted to $3000. Seven years later—four years after the railroad to Elgin was opened—the yearly business of that house had increased to $126,000. In 1905, 14 per cent of the worlds railway mileage centered in Chicagoand today the city is known as the greatest railway center in the UnitedStates. In 1897 Chicago had miles of street railways—more than twice asmuch as any other city
