On the 9Th inst the two forces of men
that have for months past been tunncling

east and the west sides of the Cascades
came together at a point one and one

We're only one-quarter of an inch out of
alignment and the base only two and
half inches.
The great tunnel, the second in length
in the United States is 1925 feet long
IS feet more than two and one-ha.f miles.
1t will be completed and the first train
sent through it on December /.
The distance through the tunnel is so
great that electric engines will have to
be used to draw trains through it in or
der that the air may not become so foul
through the smoke of locomotive as to
render a passage to passengers positive
ly dangerous.
While the travelling public will gain in
rapidity of transit by the tunnel, it will
lose in beauty of scenery. for the switch

region of such majestic grandeur as to
