CONSTRUCTORS OF THE CASCADE.
The Question of Tunnettin1 Not let De-

The Question of Tunnettin0 Not let De-
cid d.
Gen. A. Anderson, chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific, returned yesterday from
New York. where he has been for the last
month engaged in business connected with
the company. He reports that construction
work on the Cascade branch of the line is
being vigorously prosecuted. The great
point to settle in the construction of this
branch is whether to tunnel the Cascade
mountain range or not. The question has
been debated on numerous occasions but no
conclusion was arrived at. If the tunnel is
built it will be two miles long and l, 100 feet
under ground 1t will be mighty piece of
work If undertaken, which it will be I'M
doubtedly, and will require two years or
more of time to complete it. The location
will be near the Stampede pass, at the head
of the Green river, thirty miles north of Ia
coma peak of the Cascade range.
The work will be all on rock,
and the approach to the base
is quite difficult If the tunnel is not built,
a side-track would be necessary, which
though cheaper than a tunnel to construct
would be much more expensive to operate,
as an engine which could take full train of
cars through the tunnel would be capa
BILE of taking not more than six by the
switch-track. Connection could also be
made with the eastern and western ends by
an incline. With the switch-track good
deal of trouble might be expected in the
winter. Over two thousand men are at work
on the eastern and western ends, and have
built and ironed 100 miles OF. road. In all
there are 142 miles yet to build, which will be
completed in two years. Mr. Anderson says
that the Ashland division will be used as
soon as the frost is out of the ground, and
that the bridge across the st. Louis river at
Duluth will be completed and ready for trains
to run across inside of two or three weeks,
only the laying of the track being necessary
finish the work.

THE REVISION OF LUMBER RATES.
What the Effect JTiH Be On Northwestern
DeUyere

What the Effect VIII Be On Northwestern
Dealers.
In accordance with the statement made
in the Sunday issue of the GLOBE, the Omaha
road issued yesterday a new lumber tariff
from all points on its line, east aud north of,
and including st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Minnesota transfer to lower southwestern
Missouri river points, the rates being as fol-
lows from principal lumber points:
From st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mime
sofa transfer, 10 cents from Saltwater and
Hudson, 20 cents; from Menomonie, Eau
Claire, Chippewa Falls and Mcmillan, 2215
cents. Neilsville and Millston, 2494 cents :;
Superior City, 25 cents; Cumberland, 23115
cents; Shell Lake and Barronette, "a cents;
Hayward, Drummond and Ashland. 25 cents
While these rates are an advance of several
cents per 100 pounds over the old rates, yet
it is believed that they will still enable lum-
Der men in this section of the country to
compete with Chicago. provided the
lines leading from Chicago TO the
Missouri river will hold up to the tariff. This
however, is questionable, and it is intimated
that while the published rate from Chicago
will be IA cents, yet the actual carrying rate
will not exceed II cents. This change in
Bluffs or Omaha. While this arrangement
will materially affect the revenue of the
roads running to Missouri river points on
account of the volume of traffic done in that
direction during 1884, by the two principal
roads from st. Paul, which exceeded 5000
ears, yet this will be somewhat if not entirely
overcome by the opening up of new territory
to Northwestern lumbermen, principally to
re fha nrlin Otn 81 ri
railroad in Nebraska, new tariffs to which
points are now being prepared.

out of the next emigrant pool pie than it was
allotted in the last. Meantime the other
trunk lines can only offer each other con-
dolenee, as it is all they get out of the emf

larger per cent. of the emigrants this year
than it did last and that was quite satisfac-
tory.
