A talk with one Of the surveyors en-
gagged in the work of trying to find a
better route over Sherman hill for the
Union Pacific railroad, brings out the
that no great saving in grade
can be accomplished without the con-
struction of tunnels. One route sur
veyed will effect a saving of 1892 feet
by the construction of a tunnel a mile
and a half long. while another will
make the hill something over 500 feet
lower, but a tunnel four miles long will
to be built. Neither one of these
routes will shorten the distance between
Laramie and Cheyenne, and a great
amount Of new road will have to be
built. The surveyor gave 1t as his per-
sonal opinion that the change would
never be made.
