Gradarim's Good Work.

Last May the village Improvement
committee of the Gradatim Club of
our city distributed flower seeds to
the children of the lower grades of our
public school, to be sown and Guilt
waited entirely by them.
Prizes we're to be given to three of
the children who succeeded in rails
ing the most beautiful boquets.
Saturday afternoon at the school
house, beautiful and commendable
sihibit of the flowers raised by them
was shown to a number OF admiring
friends.
Little Blanche Gray was awarded
the first prize, a beautiful, instructive
book on flowers.
Miss Alta Cass received the second
prize, lovely Chinese vase.
Master Howard Bowman took the
third prize, an interesting story book
for boys.
The children deserve much praise
and encouragement for their eff
forts as also does the chairman of
the committee, Mrs. M. Hogan, who
has served SO faithfully and efficiently
in that capacity for the past two years.
Sank Centre has a park that any
city Of its size should be proud to
possess, many beautiful, attractive
homes and much has been done Of
late, toward identifying the school
grounds and other portions of our
city Let US all endeavor to COM
mend rather than condemn the work
done and especially give words, SYM
pathy and encourageinent, to the
children for the work they have
accomplished.

Largest In the World.

The largest tunnel in the world is
nearly completed through the Cascade
mountains west of here. 1t is the pet
scheme OF j. J. Hill, president OF the
Great Northern road, and will save
the road twelve miles and several
hours in the transcontinental run. BY
next January, Great Northern trains
will be passing under the Cascade in
stead of winding and backing over
them. There are now seven switch
backs over the mountains which the
tunnel will wipe out. !.
Eight years ago Mr.. Hill put en-
gineers in the field for the final re-
connoisa nce of this tunnel. When he
announced his plan, railroad men
laughed and said it would bankrupt
the road. 1t is, however, being built
almost entirely from the surplus reve-
nues of the road, largely from those OF
the Montana Central branch. The
work since Jan. l, 1899, has been en-
tirely paid for by earnings above divi-
dends. More than two miles is COM
pleted, and only a third of mile
remains. Almost 1000 men are at
work with the latest and most power
full appliances. The sum paid for
labor to date is $4,000, 900, and the
tunnel will cost more than 81, 900, 0OO
Aside from the time and distance
saved the tunnel will avoid the diff
Guilty of keeping open for more than
seven months in the year passes where
snow often falls to an extraordinary
depth. Transcontinental freight will
be carried more cheaply, and it is to
transcontinental freight, destined for
the Orient, that Mr.. Hill looks for the
future OF the system. he is shaping
his affairs to the end that he can car
ry freight from any part OF the east
ern United States to the Orient at the
lowest possible cost, and he is quoted
as saying when he recently came back
after an inspection of the tunnel, that
in ten years the traffic for China
would require double track from
Duluth to Seattle.
His road is now receiving steel rails
and other exports brought from the
Atlantic tidewater to the lakes at Buff
falo. and thence by his ships to Duluth
consigned for Honolulu and Nagaski.
With the construction ofthe freighsers
building at New London. Conn, and
new and larger freighters for the lakes,
together with the new tunnel, a still
lower rate will be made. The new
lake freight ships will soon be built
