A Wrongful Impression Corrected.

u
Had the PILOT been permitted
to furnish the ballots for the local
election this year, we could have
supplied them for $50, including
a commission of twenty per cent,
as per bid now on file in this Office
from the w. +. Robinson Printing
Company of Denver. That is a
considerably less sum than Sl3.
An effort was made to draw a
parallel between the price paid last
year and thisyear, but the econo-
mist forgot to mention that the
ballot used last year had three
tickets on it and was about twice
as large and in addition required
the use of three emblems, and con-
sidering the cost OF composition,
quantity of paper used and that
more ballots were printed then,
the price charged, which was some
SIS, was Just Gs cheap MS So this
spring. The Pnor only charges
fair rates for its services and space.
The town clerk did not ask us for
our figures ON the work before
ordering the ballots elsewhere.
Wereceived no consideration what
ever simply because she evidently
was a little put out at our having
been nominated for the Office
which she wanted. That was the
basis of the whole matter. A desire
for economy played no part. The.
reason we did not throw little
light on this matter before the
election was held was because it
might appear selfish upon our part
at the time. We do SO now to
correct a wrongful impression and
that is all.

Proposed Tunnel From Europe TO Aticn
Nt Under the Strait of Gibraltar.
Washington, Dec. 1.-The State De-
partment has received report, con-
, yeyIng further information as to the
proposed tunnel from Europe 10 ica
George II. Murphy, consular clerk at
Madgeburg, Germany.
Mr.. Berlier, the French engineer,
who has submitted the proposal Of this
proiect to the governments of Spain and
Morocco, is said to lave perfect cons
fidence in the feasibility of the plan,
holding that it presents no greater
obstacles than were encountered In the
building of the tunnels Of Mont GEMS,
st. Gntthard and Ar'berg. On the
other hand. Mr.. Murphy states that
the ventilation Of submarine tunnel
and tho removal of the constantly
accommodating water are very formid-
able and expensive obstacles to be
dealt with. Nevertheless, Mr.. Berlier
believes that by secret process of his
own be can grapple with these difli-
culties and keep the cost OF the work
at figure not exceeding that required
| Ia the enterprises at st. Gotthard and
Arlbere, or Simplon. BY working
simultaneously from both ends OF the
tunnel. he believes, the date of odm-
pletion could be safely placed at 1907.
The proposed length of the tunnel is
| 25 miles, 20 miles Of this under the
sea. Railway connection in Europe is
planned by means of line following
the Spanish coast and passing through
Tarifa and Algeciras into France. In
| Morocco, line would be constructed
from Tangier, connecting with the rail-
way system at Tiemcen. The entire
cost Of the tunnel alone is apprcxi-
mated at over 1923, 600, 600, and Of the
entire connecting link between Spain
and Algiers at about S43, 500, 600.
The French press is said to critioise
the project unfavorably on the ground
that Mr.. Berlier has overestimated the
earning power Of the road, and that it
was hardly credible that the passenger
and freight traffic between France and
| Algeria could he diverted to this in.
direct and expensive route.
