4 Yruinll Of The Century.
Remarkable Tunnel and Fill.

The wonderful achievement of tunnel
ling a big mountain at Sherman, WyO., by
the Union Pacific IN order to reduce the
grade and shorten track has been accom-.
p' shed, and on May regular service was
commenced on the new line from Buford
to Tle-Siding, which becomes part of the
main line of :" the overland route"
The contract for this work was awarded
about year ago, and its completion is
reckoned one of the most astonishing feats
Of railroad engineering yet accomplished.
The general publichas no idea of the gigantic
tunnrlllDg through the Rockies in cOnnec-
ton with this work.
The Sherman 'unne, forming very i'm
portant part of the porect, is situated be-
tween Dale Greek AMI Tie Siding, nearly
half mile long. In the mountain it pier
ces is found the archaen formation, one Of
the hardest of granite rocks, from which
comes Sherman gravel, so extensively used
on the Union Pacific for ballast.
Standing consplcuOusly out In this great
engineering work are two fills, Lone Tree
fill and Dale Greek fill. The embankment
at the last.named fill is 145 feet in the
highest place, 900 feet long, 40 teet wide a.
the top, is feet at the bottom. The Lone
Tree fill is southeast OF the town of Sherman
The embankment is 130 feet high at the
highest point. These two fills involved the
handling of 100000 cubic yards OF earth
and stone.

MicaWbcr Methods.
And Selfish Idleness.

Commenting on Lord George Hamiton'S 3
late letter replying to the attack of Sir
A fired Hickman former president of the
BRUSH Iron Trade ASSOciatiOn,) in the
House of Commons, May %, on American
locomotives and bridges, the newspapers
are unsparing in their criticism of what
The St James Gazette calls the " You be
damned" attitude of British manufacturers
toward their customers.
The st. James Gazette applauds Lord
Hamilton's " crushing, brutal fraLkness in
menting on the Micawber methods OF
British employers and the selfish idieneSs
of British workmen," and, proceeding to
censure the methods of trades unionsts as
!" thoroughly and unScrupulously dishonest"
the paper says it could almost wish Lord
Hamilton had not given an undertaking to
give preference TO British firms where it
is possible, as "it would be well for the
future that our industrial classes learn the
bitter lesson of experience
The Globe does not hesitate to predict
that unless the methods of trades unionism,
as practised in this country, are modified,
Americans, within the next few years, Will
beat the British out of the field. The
Globe compliments American trades unio-
nSts on their good sense in fostering skill
aud industry, while simultaneously keeping
up the rate OF wages.
