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. little west Of Green River.

1t 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 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. II is q very remarkable tunnel
In many respects. In fact II 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

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 dif-
iiculty was 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 sponge, and its expansive
power was simply irresistible. Great
Oregon timbers twelve inches square

should not spend anything In an

CHRIST HoNoREp BY JEWS.
Tribute Paid the Founder of Christianity y
by American Rabbis.

A beautiful tribute paid TO the
founder OF Christianity was the i'm
prcssive feature OF the session OF the
recent conference OF American rabbis
nj the Temple Kenesetli Israel in Phil
adelphia. The incident was brought
about through the representation OF n
report prepared by Rnbbis David Phil
ips, q. Duisch and Joseph Krauskopf.
The object Of the report was to define
the attitude of the Jewish Church TO
the religion OF Jesus and to decide
whether II should be taught In Jewish
theological schools. The report set
forth that Judaism could not accept
Jesus MS part Of It's theological creed,
but commended the beauty and moral
view OF the teachings attributed TO
him.
The sincerity Of the applause that
greeted the reading OF the report was
evidenced by Its unanimous adoption.

and added much to the pleasure of the
company by his description Of the diff
ferent formations they examined. All
of the above gentlemen exerted them
selves to the utmost to make the trip
a pleasant one to their guests. and we
believe have the assurance that their
efforts were fully appreciated.
The train only moved in the day
time. The first night was spent in
Cheyenne. After breakfast Wednes-
day morning the whole crowd found
seats In the observation car which
was pushed in front of the engine
with Superintendent Parke's private
car between them, and prepared them
selves ito be shown"
Heretofore one of the most difficult
pieces of track on the entire line was
that between Cheyenne and Laramie.
Cheyenne has an elevation of $3.50
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 S,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. end a 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. a 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 tunnel 1900 feet long. To
the average reader these figures con-
vey 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 q 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 bonus OF
100000 more than the contract called
for. because they completed the work
several months earlier than was
specified in the contract. As a result
OF all this change the grade has been
reduced to forty.three feet TO the mile.
An engine that before required n
helper to haul twenty freight cars
over the hill can now pull forty with.
out help. The saving In fuel. in wages
and In repair OF rolling stock is pro.
digious.
