A Gigantic Engineering Scheme to
be Submitted to Congress.


In these days of civil engineering nothing
seems 10 be impossible. and a plan is now
on foot 10 do nothing less than bore hole
through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in or
der to facilitate traffic aud preyen, delays oc-
casioned by snow blockades The project
originated with the Central Pac.hc railroad
officials. and il was brought TO the attention
Of the Senate by Senator Stewart. OF Neva-
ds, as an amendment to the PAeiie Railroad
fanding BILL
/; provides that the work shail De paid for
by the companies using the tunnel in the fol-
lowing manner Instead Of paying the gov
ernmeut the sums which are due in install
ments, the Peciiii Riil roads will lump as
much of the sum as they possibly can and
use it as part paymea; for the work Ia this
manner the government Will not be called
upon to contribute aynthing. The remain
der Of the money due for the work will be
paid for as soon a. it can be raised and after
tina, is done payments will be resumed to
the government.
The scheme will cost SO 009,0 900 aud will
require years Of hard work in its construc-
ton. The projectors propose 10 begin their
boring at least O19 feet below the deep
snow line This will bring lhe mouth Of
the tunnel about 900 feet above ;be Truck
ee river
The start will be made at Gold Spring Can
yon just west Of The town Of Traekee and
over The lire inso California The tunr el
will pass over the present bed CT the line
and will come out OF the mountains on the
Pacific side si Yubl River Canyon. After
leaving the first tunnel, which will be five
miles in length, il is proposed 10 run down
the Yuba Canyon for some distance and
then five more miles of tunneling viii be
done.
The grade will be a gradual descent, so
tibet when the train leaves the mouth of the
last tunnel it will be level with sicremento
city, and rise Of 1909 feet will be saved on
each side of The mouatain. In addition to
this the saving of time will be of great val
ne 10 those travelling over the road,
Tie railroad Itself viii reap the benefit,
not only from the increased iraili bat in the
manner of saving fuel aud wear and tear on
their engines. The heavy m )uatin ca
gints will be dispensed with and the travel
er who has an appointment on the Pacific
slope will not have occasion 10 fear delsy
from snow block l5es.

whenever he came, = Reading. After bis
visit various articles we're missed, but owing
to his standing as a clergyman the firm long
refused to believe that be was responsible.
on wedn -sdsy last Mr.. Fitch drove to
the store about noon and asked TO see James
G. ReDer, the senior member of the
firm. Mr.. Reber was not in. Later in the
day Mr. Fritch called again. He went up
stairs 10 he second aoor. not seeinga , clerk
who was in a position to note what took
place.
The allegation is that the minister walked
through the second floor, took package ly-
ing on one OF the counters, and then went
down stairs and out. Mr. Reber was prompt
ly notified and he followed the minister and
bronght him back to the private office Of the
firm, where be was accused Of the theft, and
indignantly denied his guilt.
There is no use denying it. said Mr.. Re-
bsr. " You have package of ours in your
overcaat pocket now. felt it as walked
by your side on our way back. Take it OUT
OF your pocket
The minister reluctantly produced the
package, and it proved TO be box of fine
penknives. lie was then accused OF having
taken very many more articles, and was ask
ed 10 write out list of everything he re-
membered having taken, which he did. The
list included knives. brushes. and many
things which lie had 10 use for, and which
he might easily have purchased, as his
means are ample.
Mr.. Filch's sworn confession was taken
in the presence of several witnesses, and af-
ter a severe reprimand he was told to go and
sin no more The firm determined TO Say
nothing about the matter, but the facts got
10 the ears Of the police, and two warrants
were swora out before Aldermen Shrader
