as it will not blow away nor slip and

Denver has several so paved, Omaha
Is experimenting with 1t. and recently
an expert from far-off Buffalo visited
the deposits for the purpose of deter
mining whether It would stand trans
portation SO great distance us to
that city.
Wednesday night was passed at
Rawlins. and on Thursday the train
got as far west as Spring Valley. The
principal stops were made at Rock
Springs and Green River. At the
former place are worked the most ex.
tensive coal mines in the West. Be-
tween two and three hundred car
loads a day are shipped out the year
around. The company were taken
through one of the larger mines and
saw for themselves how the thing was
done. A short stop was also made at
Fish Cut. a little west Of Green River.
where there are wonderful fossil beds.
II was here Professor Marsh of Yale
college made his principal discoveries.
Near this point Is one Of the most re-
markable cuts on the entire line. the
whole face OF a mountain having been
sliced of to get room for the track.
AS noted above, Thursday night was
passed at Spring Valley. new town
that has sprung up at the eastern end
of the Aspen mountain tunnel. This
tunnel is not yet completed. the head
ings being about 600 feet apart. but
both ends were visited by the party
on Friday morning. This tunnel is
the most expensive improvement on
the entire line. and its completion will
save a greater distance than any
other 1t is very remarkable tNnnel
in many respects. In fact 1t is claimed
by the railroad officials to be the most
daring piece of railroad engineering
ever attempted on this continent.
They make this claim on account OF
the difficulties encountered in prose-
cutting the work. 1t was supposed the
mountain through which the tunnel
passes was of ordinary granite and
the contract was let on this basis. 1t
has proven however, to be veritable
museum OF wonders. each of which
taxed to the utmost the ingenuity Of
the contractors The first serious DIFF
fculty was a huge mass OF moving
shale. struck within 500 feet OF the
western entrance to the tunnel. This
shale when exposed to the air swelled
up like a sponge, and its expansive
power was simply irresistible. Great
Oregon timbers twelve inches square
set as close together as they would
stand were snapped of like pipestems.
It was impossible to brace them so
they would hold. The floor OF the tun-
mel would sometimes bulge up four
feet in single night. 1t was finally
found necessary to replace the TIM
hers with heavy steel beams. and be-

INSECT PESTS OF HAWAII.
Destroyers of Humanity's Peace Como
From Other Lands.

OWIoyen OF HumRnlty's Peece So"o
From Other Lands.
No spot on earth has suffered so
much from the importation of insect
pests as the islands composing the Ha-
Talian group. Time was when 1t was
pleasure to live there because OF the
absence Of such plaques; now it Is
different.
The two chief products OF these
Islands are sugar and coffee, while
considerable amount of fruit Is also
grown. Along with the imported trees
came their insect enemies. notably the
seaie insect and the aphis. In the
course of time these increased so pro-
digiously that they threatened to de-
stroy the industries of the country.
Man is doomed to n constant struggle
against nature and he is often com
pelied. so to speak, to fight her with
her own weapons. So it was in this
ease. The trees were being destroyed
" insects; remedy, import more IN,

This oil. by the way. although SO
troublesome to the contractors. Is
likely to be the cause OF rapidly devel-
oping the surrounding country. The
oil has a paratfine base and Is ex-
tremely valuable. Already a number
of companies have been formed to
prospect the neighboring hills.
What will be encountered in the re-
naming 900 feet no one can tell. We
understand that bets are even between
the laborers who prophesy Milwaukee
beer and those who are looking for
what Is known In Kentucky as Noun
tain Dew.
The length of this tunnel will be
about $500 feet. and the cost some
thing prodigious. but when completed
1t will be monument to the enter
prise and perseverance Of the Union
Pacific officials that will apparently
endure for thousands of years.
The rest Of Friday was spent on the
run to Salt Lake City. short stops be-
ing made at Evanston and Ogden.
Over $15.000.OO0 have been expend.
ed in these various improvements. As
result OF them the Union Pacific has
not only much the shortest line across
the Rockies, but one simply incompar-
able for the ease of its grades and the
smoothness Of its tracks. 1t is said
that the fuel consumed by railroad
averages forty per cent. OF the entire
operating expenses. 1t will be seen,
therefore, what an enormous saving
there must be when this bill can be
/ cut right in two. This the Union Pa
cific has succeeded in doing.
To President Burt. more than to all
others, is due the credit for these
changes. II was he who had the
nerve to go before board OF directors
and ask for the enormous sum men
toned above. not to open up new ter
ritory or to build new lines, but sim
ply to improve an already existing
line. Railroading is. more than almost
any other. business of to-day. ON
cials and boards of directors are con-
stantly changing. Not one OF those
connected with the road to-day may
be with II five years hence. For this
reason Mr.. Burt's daring and success
is the more noteworthy. 1t can be ex-
planned in only one way. and that Is
that the money kings OF the East have
prodigious confidence In the quick
development OF this western country.
and in the enormous growth OF our
trade with the Orient.
The people OF Denver and Colorado
should be especially Interested in
these improvements. Anything that
adds to the ease of communication be-
tween Colorado and Utah benefits
both. Three things are essential to
ideal railroad traveling-safety, COM
fort and speed. In each of these re-
spects no other line can compare with
the Overland Route."-J. S. 7.

selves ito be shown"
Heretofore one of the most dificult
pieces of track on the entire line was
that between Cheyenne and Laramie.
Cheyenne has an elevation of 6.05O
feet above sea level. Sherman. thirty.
three miles west, the top of the divide,
and the highest point between Omaha
and Ogden. Las an elevation of 8.247
feet. This made a rise of 1900 feet
in thirty.three miles. an average grade
OF sixty.six feet to the mile. while the
maximum was over eighty-eight feet.
Although even this is less than that
encountered by any other railroad
crossing the mountains, still 1t Is a
pretty stiff climb, and large number
Of extra engines were kept constantly
employed in helping trains over the
hill. AS will be seen by the map ac-
companying this article. very large
part OF this line was entirely rebuilt.
The work required the handling and
moving Of 100000 cubic yards OF
Sherman gravel and 100000 cubic
yards Of hard granite rock. and the
boring OF a tunnel 1900 feet long. To
the average reader these figures con-
rey but little meaning. Some idea of
the immensity of the work may. how
ever, be obtained when one is told that
there are three fills within a single
mile Of track which contain enough
rock and disintegrated granite to bal.
last the New York Central road from
New York to Chicago. Some idea OF
the cost may also be realized when
We are told that the contractors who
bored the tunnel received n bonus OF
100000 more than the contract called
for because they completed the work
several months earlier than was
specified in the contract. AS result
Of all this change the grade has been
reduced to forty-three feet to the mile.
An engine that before required a
helper to haul twenty freight cars
over the hill can now pull forty with.

and in reDafr of rolling stock Is pro-
digious.
Like changes, with grade revisions.

Die group, which lies mile and n half
on shore. is at high pitch Of excite

latlon, armed with trowel and clam

Of the island in quest OF treasure be-

sician, whose summer home rises on

came true. Mike Luchia Is exhibiting
