the cost of transporting the products
of the rural districts is about ) cents
a ton per mile, whereas in this country
the average is nearly 80 cents, and the
maximum to be found in the mountain

The value of improved highways was
appreciated by the national govern

the strongest arguments in favor OF

big Tunnel OF the Great Northern
Open to Traffic

st. Paul, MINI, Dec. 15.-Chief Engi-
neer Stevens, OF the Great Northern to-
DAY announced that the tunnel under
the Cascade mountains, which took three
Years aud many millions of dollars to
construct, will be opened for traffic to-
morrow without formal ceremonies. Pas
senger trains travelling from Seattle to-
day Tor st. Paul and those leaving st.
Paul will pass through the tunnel, being
the first regular trains to make the pas
sage.
For the time being trains will be
hauled through the tunnel by two spe-
clalIy constructed engines, weighing 80
tons each. The locomotives will burn
tue coal from Crow Wing pass, which
has a very small percentage OF sulphur.
For several days working trains have
been running in the tunnel, the crews
being engaged in ballasting the track
and putting the tunnel in general readi-
ness for regular through traffic.
1t Is believed that the ventilation OF
the great bore through the mountains
will be good. Exhaust fans run by cleo
tricity has kept the air pure and whole
some
While coal burning engines will be
used at first it is probable that in due
time electric locomotives will be used for
hauling trains through the tunnel, thus
preventing annoyance from smoke or
gases. From end to end the tunnel will
be lighted by a double row of electric
lights.
If the Journey through the tunnel is
not made in perfect comfort and few
finishing touches are REQUIRED, the pas
seDger trains may continue to use the
switchback for a time, although freight
trains may go through the tunnel iD

UilatiOn and settle the rOadbed.
