put into active operation the new freight
tariffs, involving an advance Of 20 to Is
per cent in rates. Merchants Of this city,
not discouraged by the refusal Of Attor-

ton of the new rates, are determined to
fight the rates They will first apply to
the railroads themselves, and try to get

which drew up the higher rates. They
propose to show that the rates will not
only be serious discrimination against
small shippers, since the advance on
less than carload lots is greater than on
carload lots, but the new tariff Is likely
to drive away business from this port.
Some of the trunk lines have received
complaints from business men in the in
terror to the effect that if the new rates
stand, they will be compelled to ship by
Baltimore, Charleston, Newport News,
New Orleans and other Southern ports,
since the narrow margin on which they
do business will not admit of any profit
whatever under the new tariff.
If no other plan works, it is understood
that the shippers will take steps against
the railroads on the ground that the new

RECORD MADE IN TUNNELING

A. i. Andrews, superintendent of
Construction, Gives Gn Outline OF
the Work Done - Northwestern
Ronss Continue to Show Monthly
Increase in Enrnings-The Chi
Cage Lines Doing Fairly.
SEATTLE, Jan. 3.-The Cascade tunnel
on the line Of the Great Northern, be-
tween Mason Creek and Wellington,
Wash, will be ready for use before the
end OF the year. The tunnel will reduce
the altitude OF the Great Northern tracks
at that point 900 feet, and will cost when
completed 100000. Superintendent of
Construction A. L. Andrews gives the fol-
lowing information concerning the prog
ress of the work on the famous bore:
1--WE will be ready to turn the tunnel
over to the Great Northern railway not
later than Oct. /, 1900. 1t will then be
fully completed. 1t will take about thirty
days to lay track and get things in shape
to run trains through 1t. In the constrae-
tion We have broken all previous records
in tunneling. The work was begun in
January, 1897.
1--WE are working two camps, one at
each end. Wellington is the western
camp and Cascade the eastern. The en-
tire length of the tunnel will be 1922 feet
We are now in 4,7O0 feet on the Wellington
and 4,90O feet on the Cascade end. This
leaves 5.253 feet yet to be DONE We are
working $50 men In all, and are driving
about ten feet per day at each end. We
work three shifts Of eight hours each at
either end, employing fourteen drills each.
b We are boring the hole by the bench, sub
bench and heading process.
The hole will be uniform in size all the
way through, tWenty-four feet high and
twenty feet wide. We are following up
the drills with the concrete work so that
shortly after the hole is through this
portion Of the work will be finished.
There are seventy men on each shift to
do the tunneling, about $50 employed at
concrete work and about fifty engineers
and helpers.
The highest point from the roof of
the tunnel to the pinnacle of the mountain
is $500 feet. In November last we cut
527 feet, which beats the best worlds tun-
mel driving record, made at Stampede on
the Northern Pacific, by two feet. The
best weeks work was seventy-six feet,
which also Is a record breaker
THE total cost of the construction work
will be in the neighborhood of So, 900 O00
AS yet no one knows, except possibly Mr.
Hill, how trains will be operated through
the tunnel. but eventually they will prob
ably be run by electricity
we will be about six months ahead of
our time in completing the tunnel, and,
naturally, are very proud Of the record
we have made all the way through"
