Tunneling the Niagara River.

The trouble with the old Suspension
bridge, connecting the New York Central
with the Great Western Railway, must re-
vive the public interest IN the question of
securing more and better facilities for cross
ing Niagara river. At this moment Cand
for months to come even, If the Suspension
bridge shall be used aRaiD) all of the pas-
senger and most of the freight traffic that
passes between the east and the west via
New York routes and through Canada must
be transported over q single track upon the
International bridge at Buffalo. Manifest
ly this bridge is totally inadequate for the
vast amount of work, and it seems to us
that now is very favorable time for re-
newing the project of constructing o rail-
way tunnel under the great river at this
point. 1t ought to be done. 1t would be
sure to pay. And 1t would be done, and
that very soon, if Buffalo capitalists were
as enterprispg as those of most other large
cities.-Bufalo Commercial Adcertiser.
