GREAT PROJECTS AFOOT.


Current Year Will BE Memorable IN
History Of Engineering.
The year 1904 promises to be one of
unusual Importance in the annals Of en-
cheering progress on the North Ameri-
can continent. In all human POSSIBLE
ty we will see inaugurated during the
year several great engineering works,
great not only in the magnitude of the
operations involved, but in their pro-
spective influence upon commerce and
industry, both national and interna-
tional.
The first of these great tasks TO be
undertaken is the construction of the
igthmian canal The dimensions of
this problem are vast as measured by
similar enterprises in other parts Of the
world, and the opportunity will now
be given to American engineers and
American contractors and builders of
machinery to utilize all that knowledge,
skill and experience in conducting pub
lie works that have already done SO
much to make our own country great.
The economical solution of the problem
calls for mechanical appliances to a de-
gree almost unprecedented, and for this
machinery we confidently look to our
own engineers and to our own shops
Another great engineering enterprise,
already started, but to be energetically
pushed this year, is the plan of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company to con-
meet it's system with the cities Of New
York and Brooklyn by tunneling under
the Hudson and East rivers. Here,
again, is a problem that in its solution
includes new and practically untried
engineering methods
In the state of New York the popu-
,ar vote technically approves Of the ex-
pelditure of hundred or more mil
lions upon the thousand ton barge ca
nal connecting the great lakes with the
Atlantic seaboard.
In many of the inland states the COM
panies controlling the great railway
systems have an enormous volume Of
work either in progress or contemplate
ed which has for it's object the crea-
ton of new works to take the place Of
those planned and executed by a past
generation of engineers.
The enormous traffic developed by
the growth Of our domestic commerce
has brought into use heavier locomo-
tives, larger cars and stronger bridges,
and the resulting saving In operating
expenditures now warrants an outlay
for reduction in distances, gradients
and curvature that would have been
deemed wasteful extravaganza by the
preceding generation
Northward, in the Canadian possess
sions, the coming year will doubtless
see notable beginning made in what
will become another great transconti-
mental railway This Grand Trunk
Pacific railway will be nearly 1900
miles long and will connect the At
lantic seaboard at Halifax with the
shores Of the Pacific ocean at Port
Simpson. 1t will be the most north
erly railway line of Importance on the
continent, practically following for
much Of its length the great divide
separating the waters of the st. Law
renee basin from those of Hudson bay.
Its purpose is to open up to population,
trade and commerce vast areas of
wheat land, timber land and mines
that are now valueless by reason of
the lack of transportation facilities.

The Russian government is buying
supplies In South Omaha for the use
Of its troops in the far east. The Cud-
ahy Packing company has received a
rush order through an agent Of Rus
sia, for 100, 900 pounds of extra mess
beef. This order Is now being pre-
pared at the Cudahy plant. and Is
practically ready for shipment.
When the shipment is made the beef
will be packed In oak casks. bound
with galvanized iron hoops. There
will be 10000 quarter barrels, 1000
half barrels and 1900 full barrels in
the shipment.
The Russian government has just
placed an order with Armour & Co.. of
Kansas City, for a million and ashalf
pounds OF mess @ for immediate
shipment to San Francisco. The order
calls for the delivery of the meat to
San Francisco by January 22. The
meat, IL is said, Is for the use OF the
Russian army, and its destination Is
said to be Port Arthur.
1t appears that the order was re-
ceived last week and already one-third
