RETIRES FROM TIE PAPER.
I. }. Cunningham, of the Chippewa Times
Resigns His Position.

CHIPPEWA FALLS. Dee 29.-'The fol-
lowing letter appears in the Chippewa
Times of Dec. p, from The pen of Secre-
tary Of State-elect T. j. Cunningham
There is nothing in life 50 sad as part
ing with old friends, or breaking up old
associations. 1t leaves void in the heart
not easily filled, and creates a lonliness of
spirit for which nothing can compen-
safe.
Fifteen years Of our life have been
passed In the Chippewa valley. Our con-
nectiOn with Chippewa Falls has been
of the most pleasing character. In
looking back over the extended per iod
many pleasant reminisCen CeS
connected with newspaper life have been
recalled, and 1t is a source Of pleasure to
know that although IL matters of politics
or local measures we have often differed
with many of our citizens, that no bitter
ness remains, at least not with the retiring
editor Of the Times.
at was no easy task to establish demo-
cratic journal in Chippewa county fifteen
years ago. A number were started but the
Times alone survived. Our readers know
Of our struggles. and they also know that
IN the darkest hours we never deviated
from the path Of true democracy or neg
lected to keep before the public the great
resources of this rich valley, and the
means necessary for their more thorough
development. In that regard we knew
neither favOriteism nor partisarship, but
labOred for the common interest Of all Of
our people.
To-day we sever our connection with
the Chippewa Times and no one but an
editor can appreciate the sadness we feel
in parting with our newspaper. We hope
that during TIE time it was under our
charge we made no heart ache. nor caused
any household to regret its publication.
We were not always wise nor always right,
but we can truly say that we were never
wrong from wlIlfuinesg, or lack Of Cour-
age.
1T Is now our fortune to be called to
other fields Of duty, to be separated for
time from our old friends and acquain-
tances, but We hope to live in their re-
membrane as they shall in ours, for to
them we owe all that we are, and wHen
we return to them again, we hope TO re-
new the feelings Of love and kindness we
now bear away with us. And nov friends
and readers, an afectionate farweil
That you may have Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year Is the wish Of

IRISH CHANNEL TUNNEL PROJECT
4 Passage of Thirty-Three Miles in Length
Proposed.

This project was presented in a more
detailed form at a meeting held on Dec.
II, at Belfast. Mr.. Barton, the engineer
explained his preliminary plans. The
shortest line between Ireland and Scot
land was from Tor Head to the Null Of
Cantyre. a distance of l3 miles, but the
water there was 462 feet deep. and the
site unsuitable Mr. Barton proposed to
cross between Island Magee and Wigton-
shire. with a tunnel about 80 miles long.
with 500 feet of water overhead. The
proposed line would leave the Northern
Counties railway at a point near White
head. and pass cut under the headiand
known as the Gobbins: enter Wigton-
shire outside of Lcch Ryan, at Port0be!lo,
and passing under Wiersbon Hill, connect
at Stranraer with an existing line Of rail
way.
The heaviest gradient proposed Is l in
IS. In the Mt Gents, st. Gothard and
Arleburg tunnels the average Is l IN 40;
the Mersey tunnel Is still deeper, while the
Severn has a fatter gradient Of ! IN 90.
No fears are entertained Of trouble from
water entering the tunnel; and IN this
view Mr. Barton Is supported BY Sir john
Hawshaw. Sir Douglas Fox, Sir Benja-
min Baker and other prominent engineers.
The proposed tunnel would have 80 feet
Of rock betwes-n the roof and the bed Of
the sea. The rock Is only 30 feet thick
above the Mersey tunnel, and 40 feet II
the Ssyern.
As to cost, it Is estimated that this
wodld not be more than IN long tunnels
through mountains. Judging from past
experience the cost here is put at $500 per
lin. yd The shafts, pumping plant, ad-
diti0nal railways. etc, are estimated at
3. 3o5. 600. and the total estimate, with
10 per cent. added fer contingencies, Is
pat at 81, 10000.
The time Of construction Is estimated
at 10 to II years MIR. Barton, c. T.. ez-
planned that a series Of large yentilatIng
fans placed at the pumping stations al
each end. about a miles from each other,
could be made to draE cut all foul air and
supply pure air In current moving ar the
rate OF miles per hour

EVERY POINT THUS FAR.
Fetzer's Case is Progressing FavorabIy
Through the Courts.

MILWAUKEE, Dee. 29.-Judge d. S.
Rose of this city, counsel for John Fetzer
in the contested senatorial election case of
the first dictrict received notice from Judge
Samuel D. Hastings Jr, Of the Marin
ettee county circuit court that a special
term of said court had been called for
Monday, Jan. ), and a jury summoned to
try the case IN pursuance to the directions
of the supreme court.
In commenting upon the order Judge
Rose said: I'VE have won every point in
the case, 50 far, and we viii win the rest
as fast as we can get to them. There Is
no question as to the facts in the cas- e
and a palmer case of fraud could not be
imagined. This mandamuS suit Is simply
to decide which candidate is entitled on
the face of the returns to the certificate of
election. The original returns give it
to John Fetzer, the democratic
candidate; the recount. if taken
rs true. would give it to
Edward ScofeId, the republican candidate.
We propose to show that between the two
counts frauds were committed which make
the difference When the case as to the GER.
tihcate Is decided there will no
doubt be contest before the SEN
ate. The certificate of election is
only Nrima facie evidence of a right to the
seat, and doaS not settle the natter The
question as to who was elected Is for
the senate to decide, and to be guarded at
ali points we are carrying to our contest
and have issued notice of taking deposi-
uOnS liz the matter.
