LONG AMERICAN TUNNELS.
The Pennsylvania Company VIII
Abandon Horse Shoe Curve.

Abandon Horse Shoe Curve.
From the San Francisco Chronicle
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
decided to construct a tunnel seven miles
long to avoid the great Horseshoe curve.
which is one of the most notable features
on the line. 1t will be the largest enter
prise of the kind in railroad construction
so far attempted on this continent. The
Hoosac, the longest at present in operation,
is less than four miles in length. The Cas-
cade tunnel of the Great Northern railway
is two and one-half miles long and the tun-
mel projected through the Sierra to reduce
1,5o0 feet of grade on the Central Pacific
railroad will be only one and one-half miles
in length
The proposed Pennsylvania railroad tun-
mel will shorten the line only three miles
and reduce the time in transit three min
utes; but the lessening of wear and tear on
the rolling stock, which must be very
heavy on the present curves and grades OF
tn, Horseshoe, will doubtless compensate
the company for the investment. 1t has
been the policy Of the Pennsylvania for
years to bring the road up to the English
ana European standard of perfection in con-
struction; and wherever the roadbed is ca
pable OF improvement by Strengthening
otherwise 1t has been done, regardless Of
the cost.
With less than half a dozen railroad ex-
ceptions the longest tunnels on the conti-
nent have been pierced by miners to rife
ore-bearing veins auriferous gravel
bodies economically. This state has some
notable mining tunnels the longest among
them being those draining the North
Bloomfield. Hidden Treasure and Red Point
gravel mines. These range from one and
one-half to two miles in length. The Sutro
tunnel In Nevada is with its lateral drifts.
six and half miles in length. In Colorado
there are several mining tunnels varying
from one mile to one and three-quarter
miles in length. The United States tunnel.
near Idaho Springs, now being bored with
Belgian capital. will be three and a half
miles long, and the Pixies Peak tunnel. il
ever finished, will be twenty miles in length.

BLAINE's LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Let Burchard's Fatal Remark Pass
Unchallenged.

From Success.
Failure to grasp an opportunity on the
instant of its presentation, a momentary
abstraction of one of the most acute and
brilliant minds the country ever knew,
brought to naught the lifelong ambition OF
James G. Blaine. The objective point of
years of struggle vanished forever from
him for an instants lack of quick percep-
tion. Blaine had practically won the cleo
tier i'm 1884. and was returning home, one
week before the opening of the polls, with
victory in his grasp. He stopped in New
York, and dined with Jay Gould-an I'M
wise move at that time. The party mama
gers proposed a measure which met with
his hearty approval. 1t was Ministers
Meeting"
Blaine had smarted under the imputation
that he was a lobbyist and corrupt politi-
clan. The Endorsement of his career by the
leading clergymen of New York city would,
he felt, be a vndication, aside from its po-
litical value. Rev. DIR. Tiffany, an astute
reasoner and careful speaker. was at first
selected to make the address, but a COM
mittee of clergymen finally decided that
the oldest of their members-Dr. Burchard
should be the speaker. He uttered the
famous ALTERATION of Rum, Romanism
and Rebellion" Blaine sat there in deep
thought, and all expected that his first
words would sweep away the dangerous
suggestion of the aged clergyman. But lao
candidate made no reference to 1t, and his
silence was assumed, by his astounded
auditors to have given Endorsement to the
sentiment. The die was cast, and Blaine
died disappointed man.
A week after the election Colonel Alex
ander X. Mcclure, dining with Blaine in
New York, asked him If he had not heard
the words fraught with such fatal conse-
quences to his political aspirations. The
statesman answered, sadly: Il heard them,
but they failed to impress me. / was busy
preparing my reply, for had had no pre-
vious opportunity of evolving one, and
those four words went by me without once
stirring my intelligence"

Montana Wooden Mills.

From the Helena Record.
The fist wooden mill established In Mon

just put in operation. shown that Mon
tanas great staple can be successfully
manufactured in the state. 1t is asserted
that the product of the Big Timber mill is
superior to the fabrics shipped from the
east, while the price is less than was for
merly asked for eastern products.

Eaton Hall Roads.

The roads of Eaton Hall are the finest
in England and probably the best in the
world of their kind, says London cor
respondent. They were laid out by
noted engineers, and macadam, gravel
and clay were used in their construction.
They range from 30 to 100 feet in width
and are so well drained that water cannot
stand upon the surface. as the top is com
posed of macadam rolled into a compact
mass by the pressure of 20 ton machines
operated by steam power. One can go
for miles without seeing a loose stone
the size of horse chestnut. Even in
parts of the estate given up to the game
preserves the highways are as good as
those directly around the hall itself.
After the system of roads was com
pleted, invitations were sent to public
officials in all parts of the kingdom to
visit the estate with a view of educating
them in road building. The visitors came
by the hundreds and were entertained mt
the owners expense. Annually people
interested in roadmaking visit Eaton Hall
from various portions Of Europe.

SOWING CLOVER.
Success With Glover Means n Sufi-
cheney of Soil Moisture.

AS to time of sowing clover do not
think there is any sure time. although
it may be called very reliable crop if
good seed is sown on good soil any
time between February and April
Early seeding favorS deeper roofing
before dry, hot weather. In fact, /
have found that clover will grow at
any time on good soil where the sup.
ply of moisture is ample. The pres
ence of plenty of moisture in early
spring makes this the most reliable
time 1t is with red clover. as with
crimson, necessary to consider well the
conditions of soil that favor germna-
ton and growth.
have sown crimson clover ut seven
different times in the season and find
it very sure crop sown the latter part
of June, as the soil moisture is then
ample to favor termination and strong
roofing. Common red sown beside it
does as well whether sown in June,
July, August or September, but sOwn
later than August neither gets strong
enough, even in very favorable seasons,
to survive the winter, and both are al
most sure TO fail if the season is dry
and hot. Success with clover means 4
sufiicicncy of moisture
Because Of the need of moisture we
must put the ground in filth to retain
moisture Farmers have SO long trust
ed to getting the seed covered by the
frost or rains that they have not given
it as good a chance as they have their
oats, wheat and barley. This trusting
to nature to cover the seed has led to
the custom of sowing only in the freez-
ing and thawing season. y friend
asked me why we cannot SOW medium
red clover after we lay by corn ana
have clover to turn under the next
spring. told him that we could If we
secured the moisture and then covered
the clover seed. He claims that clover
thus tried, is as sure a crop as wheat
or barley. Just how deep clover VIII
bear covering | do not know, but TO
get a stand in June or July it is as nee
essary to cover medium red as crimson
and for the same reason.
These unusual notions on clover seed
ing are advanced by well known
