SEATTLE TUNNEL 49,.
DONE BY OCTOBER
TWILL BE THE LARGEST IN THE,
UNITED STATES.
When the Tunnel and the New
Terminals Are Opened, the City
Will Make New Streets to the Latter
and an Important Feature Will Be
Created.

Special to The Journal.
Seattle, Wash, April 15.-James j.
Hills tunnel for Great Northern trains
underneath the city of Seattle is more
than half completed, and by October
it is expected cars will be running
ton on the water front A definite
date has been set for the completion
Of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern terminals in Seattle, and the
finishing of the big union station.
Within two years at most all these Dig
improvements will be completed.
The peculiar topography of Seattle
made the tunnel a necessity, for the
hills descend abruptly into Puget
sound and leave very little space for
railways along the water front. FROM
a. broad area of tidelands in the
southern part OF the clty' where tile
Great Northern terminals will lie, the
! tunnel penetrates the elevation almost
on level with the water, and
energies above the heavy shipping dis
! trict in easy access to the Hill Oriental
docks and wheat warehouses at smith
Cove.
The tunnel passes the greater part
of the way 200 feet beneath Fourth
avenue, then bends toward the. bay
| and goes directly beneath many large
buildings. One five-story Dulldlng
was affected by the tunnel work and
condemned. The structure Will snort,
lv be torn down, and it is understood
that the Great Northern seeks 10 puy
the nroperty Otherwise the tunnel
has produced no ill-effects. :.
When the tunnel is completed 1T Will
be the largest in the United States, IN
point of diameter, and but one in the
world, and that in Europe, will ex'
coed it, a.
In connection with the TUNE
operations, the city is preparing tt
open streets and make the union sta
ton the foot of broad thorofare ex
tending for miles thru Seattle to tn
Fnorthern suburbs. The buildings will
be among the handsomest passenge
railway stations in the United States

PHEASANTS ON II. T.. JONES'
URBAN FARM.

r F. Jones whose collection Of rare
birds and fancy poultry is well known
turnout Minneapolis. is in a quandary. He
IS bothered with an intruder at his poul-
try yard at the intersection Of Hennepin
avenue and Fifteenth street but the police
can give him no assistance
Several weeks ago Mr.. Jones opened up
his winter cOops and allowed his prize
hens, Chinese pheasants and other fowls
to wander out into the netted enclosures.
He started to feed them but dis
turbed by the presence of a doughty little
cock sparrow who has made his home
about the yard thru the winter. The spar.
row wintered badly and was as hungry
as a wolf when Mr. Jones began the dis
tribution of grains to the fowls. Totally
ignoring the presence Of the owner of the
property. the tramp flew down into the
midst of the feeding fowls and started a
strenuous roughhouse. He swung his
wicked little beak in jab and swing style
and was soon in possession of the food
area The hens drew back in mild eyed
wonder and stood Shy while the English
lordling filed himself to his limit. Then
he flew to a fence near by and allowed the
fowls to feed. This performance has been
repeated until it has worn upon the pa
thence of Jones. The fowls have come tc
look upon the sparrow as the feathered
Jeffries of the settlement and meekly sub
nit to his domineering. SO arrogant has
he grown tnaC he CnatlerS IN rage at MT
Jones il the grain Is delayed for any rea-
SON. He is a star boarder and returns nc
service for his feed. The ordinances pro.
hibit Mr.. Jones from shooting and he is
afraid to poison him for fear that some
of the valuable fowls will get the here
after powders. Clubs and rocks are barred
for fear that some of the feathered aristo
Gratis may stop them with their heads
The sparrow is waxing more dictoria
every day and literally rules the roost

home of Christian civilization.
have found out the true customs
and manners of American people,
deep into the depths of their life. |
found out among others, true SYM
pathy and friendly feeling toward
foreigners. believe their feeling
is not mere outward but a true
to heart. l do not know whether
you will feel this way or not but it
Is my conviction from my very
depth of feeling.
hope the University will go
ahead with leaps and bounds as it
did before. l hope also the Var
sity team of this year will prove
their old time strength and win
victory over the Jay Hawks.
The Russian-Japanese question
is still in doubt but it seems the
situation is very critical at present
writing. l do not know the exact
position taken by our diplomats as
it belongs to natural secret. But
the movements of our navy and
army seems to me everything is in
readiness for immediate action. l

Advocates Rock Roads.

Repeated from the Auxvasse Re-
view:
Boggs Kidwell, who lives a few
miles northeast of Auxvasse, was
in town Tuesday with wagon
load of hogs which he delivered to
Dyer Bros. Mr.. Kidwell is an en-
thusiastic good roads advocate and
says he will back what he says
about good roads by subscribing
$3.50 to build gravel road down
east of Auxvasse.
Or" said he, Il will agree to
take team and haul rock all thru
the month Of August and put on
the road, if those living along this
road will do the same thing, and
we will report this every August
until we have the best road in
Galloway. The roads now are
about as rough as they ever get to
be in this part of this country. L
have had an object Lesson on good
and bad roads and have been tho
roly convinced that gravel roads
are the proper things to have. Last
March l had business down near
Williamsburg and l went from
there to Fulton on horseback. The
mud was deep and it seemed at
times that my horse would fag out,
but by and by came to the gravel
road that reaches out to Ebenezer
church near CalwOOd, and after
had gone a short distance over this
road, said then and there that if
| ever have a chance to vote for
an appropriation to build rock
roads | will do it freely and will
ingly. Good roads will mean
more for Galloway county than
all the railroads You can build.
Yes, l am a strong advocate of
gravel roads and will give $3.50 to
build one down my way, and 1
mean what l say, too"

The following from the Clarks-

Us Pikers are it. We're blaz-

they're not the same as we'uns.
We're lollapaloosas, whatever that
may be-guaranteed not to fer
