Some Of the facts regarding the i'm
mense tunnel recently built through
the Cascades on the line of the Great
Northern railroad. are interesting. The
tunnel is IS feet over two and one-half
miles in length and will cost. when
completed. not far from s4.OOO.OOO. On
III there were approximately 800 men
employed for nearly three whole years.
They cut the tunnel from both ends
at once, and the progress through the
solid rock averaged about eight feet
for every working day for each gang
of workmen. It therefore required so
men one working day to cut one foot
OF the tunnel. So well was the work
planned that .he difference in align
ment was only about one-fourth Of an
inch, while the error in the grade was
but 2A inches. It Is 16 feet high and
10 feet wide. and the entire interior is
lined with cement. some Of which was
brought froce Germany to use in the
construction. The rocks that were
blown from the big hole were ground
into powder and mixed with cement.
Something new in the way Of railroading
in the West will be brought into requi-
sition when trains get to running
through the tunnel. The steam loco
motives viii not pass through the
bore, but an electric engine win pull
the trains from one end to the other
This is made necessary on account Of
the coal Ssaoke from the locomotive.
The absence of sufficient current Of
air would leave the tunnel perpetually
filled with smoke, that would be suf-
locating to trainmen and passengers
alike.

her sheriff arrested. Sheriff ]. w.
Sewell, OF Hlllsboro. has been made the
defendant In an action for $500 dam
axes, recently commenced in the cir
cult court by Chin Sing, Chinaman.
1t appears that the sheriff. armed with
a writ OF attachment against David
Regatta, attempted to levy on some
pumping machinery held by the China
man under lease. and sold the same.
A few days after the sale the sheriff
entered the building in which the prop
erty was kept. and delivered the pos
session Of the property to the pur-
chaser. 1t Is claimed that the ma
chinery was part OF the realty, and
the officer had no authority to make
the levy and sale. The case win be
heard at the November term Of court.

REcLAImIsG "A DESERT.

! Twelve million acres of the great Sa-
hara desert in Africa have been req
claimed and made fruitful by means
OF artesian wells. This fact suggests
very Eorcibly the Importance Of the ma
tionai governments taking immediate
and progressive steps in the line of re-
claiming the fertile but waterless areas
of this country either by artesian wells,
water storage in reservoirs or by utiliz-
ing the waters Of the great rivers. An
acre of irrigated desert land is the
most productive acre Of land to be
Found anywhere. Men in their individ-
nal and corporate capacity can usually
rid the land of its surplus water, but
when it comes to the irrigation Of large
tracts only the government can sue
cessfully cope with the problem. The
government could well afford, purely
as money speculation, to spend $685.
100000 on irrigation projects, saying
nothing OF the untold benefit accruing
by reason Of SUCH an extension pf Pro
tiuctiYe. area. ~ -
