One of the greatest engineering feats
of the age was accomplished Thursday
of last week when two gangs of men
working upon opposite sides of the
Cascade mountains for the Great North
ern r. R. came together, completing a
tunnel two and one-haIf miles long.
On one side, the elevation is 1876 feet
above the sea level while on the other
it is 225 feet less, slope of about 90
feet to the mile. The work took nearly
four years, being commenced in January,
1897, since which time 800 men have
been employed with the aid of the most
modern machinery. Ever since this
system was built the Cascades were
crossed by one of the longest switch
backs in the world, five elevations on
one side and three on the other. The
tunnel cost So, 10000 but will be a
great saving of time and money besides
overcoming large amount of danger.

Monmouth, H.. Jan. 20.-What might
have proved a serious accident, entailing
loss Of life and property, was a collision
that occurred last night at Memo, u lit
tie station on the Central four miles
east of this city. A Santa Fe freight.

er freight train, No. 13, on the Central,
pulled by Iowa Central engine No. IS.
in charge of Engineer Byran, of Mon
mouth, and NJ. & l.. engine No. G., II.
charge of Engineer Westcott. The prob
able cause of the accident was the heavy
fog and mist of the evening. The Cen
trail train was just finishing up some
Iswitching and was backing out of the
transfer as the Santa Fe train pulled in
to get on the transfer. The Santa Fe
lengine struck the Central train about
midway between the two engines. The
movement of the Central train was suf-
l.ieient to overtGrn the Santa Fe en-
! CINE. but the engineer and tiremen
Jumped in time to save themselves.
| Neither crew ON the the Gentrel en-
! CINE was injured and neither of the en-
ginss left the track. although both We're
badly demolished. The Santa Fe's

ison was brought here post haste, as
was also the c'entrals wreckei' from

very lucky one, for ii is the biggest
wonder in the World that some of the
engine men were not injured.

CONFIRMED BY MISS ANTHONY.

Says 1t is True She VIII Resign
Woman Suffrage Leadership.
Rochester, N. ". Jan. 20. Miss Susan
II. Anthony has officially confirmed the
report that she is To resign as president
OF the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association.
My determination not to accept the
presidency again is unalterable," she
said. and when asked the reason con-
tirued:
Il do not mean to do less work,
whether of brain or body, but as the
responsibility Of managing the asso-
sciatinn has already largely fallen on
the young women, it is only fair that
they should have the credit of what
they do and Of the responsibility they
undertake. The position is one of the
sraysst responsibility and the hardest
Moik. such as only those who have had
experience in running the machinery of
a large association can comprehend.
since no salary is attached to the office,
the president must possess not only tal-
ent and ability, but means and free
dom 10 travel about as occasion de-
rlands.'
When questioned as to the probability
of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, national
organizer of the association succeeding
her TO the presidency, Miss Anthony
was non-committa.
II wish it to be understood was her
declaration. that am not eiectioneer-
ing for any one of the young women
who are my valued lieutenants upon the
official board or business committee
Either of them would undoubtedly make
a good president if she could be per-
| suadcd To accept the position.
/, Miss Anthony also said the statement
| that she is to devote herself TO the rails
ling of a fund for a permanent organiza-
| tion is true.
The resignation of Miss Anthony is t.
be presented to the National Suffrage
Association at the annual meeting
| which opens Feb. at Washington.
