A GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.
A Big Mountain at Sherman, WyO., Tun-
neled for the Union Pacific
Railroad.

Omaha, Neb., May 1.-The wonder
full achievement of tuneIing a big
mountain at Sherman, Wyo., by the
Union Pacific in order to reduce the
grade and shorten the track, has been
accomplished and to-day regular serv-
ice will commence on the new line
from BufOrd to Tie Siding, which be-
comes a part of the main line.
The Sherman hill tunnel is situated
between Dale creek and Tie Siding
and is nearly half mile long. In the
mountain it pierces is found the
archaen formation, one of the hardest
Of granite rocks.
Standing conspicuousIy out in this
great engineering work are the two
fills, Lone Tree fill and Dale creek
fill. The embankment at the last
named fill is 147 feet at the highest
place, 900 feet long, 40 feet wide at
the top, rs feet at the bottom. The
Lone Tree fill is southeast of the town
of Sherman and the embankment is
$50 feet high at the highest point.
These two fills involved the handling
of 100000 cubic yards of earth and
stone.
Two other entertainments adjacent
required the moving of 100000 yards,
so that this particular part of the
work, all within a distance of a mile,
necessitated the moving of more than
100000 cubic yards of earth and rock.

FOOD NOT ALL IMPURE.
A Government Chemist Says Only five Per
Cent OF That Sold by Reliable Deal
ers Is Adulterated.

Washington, May DIR. Wiley,
the government chemist, who is au-
thorized by congress to make an in
vestigatiOn Of food preservatives and
coloring matters to determine their
relation to digestion and health, and
to establish the principles which
should guide their use, says that from
a discussion Of this matter the gener-
al public is likely to think there is no
pure food to be obtained in the Unit
ed States. Nothing could be farther
from the truth than this. In fact,
most Of the goods offered for sale IN
our markets are perfectly pure and
wholesome. Less than five per cent. Of
the purchase from a reliable firm
would be found to be adulterated.
