w. r. OWENS RESIGNS
Gives Up SUPPLEMENTARY OF I'll
Southern Pacific.

Crowley Signal.
The Texas and Louisiana lines
of the Southern Pacific yester-
day announced the resignation
of w. F. Owen, the local superin-
tendent, and the appointment of
E. E. Shackford to succeed him.
The headquarters of the division
will be moved to Lafayette on
June 1, as has heretofore been
announced.
The announcement of the res
ignation of Mr.. Owen was not
entirely unexpected, as it has
been rumored in railroad circles
for several days that he did not
wish to leave New Orleans after
his residence of twenty-five years
here, and had decided to take
this opportunity to secure a long
rest.
It can be positively stated that
the resignation of Mr.. Owen is
entirely voluntary, and is re-
GREETED by the officials of the
company. It is stated that Vice
President Thornwen Fay came
to endeavor to have Mr.. Owen re-
consider his determination to
leave the company. for which he
had faithfully served for so
many years, and it was only
after he had failed in his attempt
that the announcement Of the
resignation was made. The res.
|ignation Of Mr.. Owen takes effect
on June /. when the head.
quarters are to be moved.
Mr.. Shackford, who has been
appointed to succeed Mr.. Owen,
is at present the superintendent
of the Houston and Texas Central
at Ennis. He began his railroad
life a. an engineer ON the Louis
lana Western, which now forms
the division of which he is to be
superintendent. Afterward he
became q passenger conductor.
Later he was appointed the
manager of the San Antonio and
Gulf Shore.
Mr.. Owen, who has been the
superintendent here for many
years. will take q long rest be-
fore engaging in railroad work
again. He yesterday refused t1
discuss his future plans.

who Is acknowledged to have
earned this distinction is little known
to the general public. He is Charles
NJ. Jacobs, an Englishman, now about
sixty years old, who constructed tun-
nels in England, among others one
under the Thames river. He was
brought to America by the late Austin
Corbin and built a gas tunnel ten feet
wide and eight feet high under the

Hudson river from New York to Jersey

nels which are to pass under the Hud-
sob river, under the city Of New York
and under the East river to Brooklyn.

der river, in northern Michigan. Near
our camp were three beautiful lakes.
Deer and bear were numerous; there
were wolves as large at st. Bernard
logs and a few wildcats, says a writer
! In the Boston Herald.
One frosty November morning l
started for a point some two miles
from camp where l had seen fresh
deer sign the day before. l followed
q log road some distance and then sat
! down on the DOT Of a big fallen pine
to watch. In front of me was an open
spot of ground, surrounded by a thick
tang!e of down timber, oak brush and
wild cherry scrubs, making it good
cover for any kind of game. l had sat
on my perch half al hour when l
heard a twig snap. l kept perfectly
quiet, and, looking w the edge of
| the u%nderbrush, l saw two bear cubs
slip out into the open not over thirty
PAGES from me.
AS soon Al they got into the sunlight
they began to play like kittens, jump
ing. falling and rolling over each other
and cutting comical antics. l sat still,
watching their playful capers, when
the idea ame to me to try to capture
one or both Of the little rascals to
keep as pets.
I slid carefully down from my perch,
set my rifle against IA neighboring tree
and slipped toward the cubs, which
were still having all kinds Of fun.
Crawling and lodging behind logs and
stulnps. l got behind a big pine snag
within five or six PAGES of the little
fellows. Then, watching my chance,
I shot out from behind the tree, sprang
forward and grabbed one by the
throat. at the same time clutching for
the other. but it lodged and twisted
out of my hand. darted into the brush
and vas lost to sight in an instant.
| kept Il firm grip on the first cub,
though he was desperate to get away.
Suddenly he gave a sharp yell. The
next instant l heard a crashing in the
brush, and from Il cedar thicket not
over twenty PAGES away the mother
bear sprang for me.
l had no time to take 4 step. No
thought of retreat or lodging entered
my mind. l dropped the cub and
snatched my hunting knife from its
sheath. The Infatuated mother leaped
forward, teeth chattering and black
eyes cleaning with a devilish light.
When within reach of me she raised
up and aimed a blow at my head with
her big paw. l lodged, and her claws
caught my coat, ripping it of me in
shreds. Still standing upright. she
again came at me with a growl. l
lunged at her throat with my knife,
which missed the mark and landed on
her face, cutting a cash four inches
long. She kept coming, and I gave her
a thrust under n fore leg. She turned
to grab me, and l struck her in the
neck.
Things were considerably mixed
about that time, with the bear still
forcing me slowly back, while l slash
ed and jabbed, at the same time dodg-
ing and ducking to keep out of her
clutches.
Suddenly she changed her tactics.
She dropped on all tours and came at

Owing to his inventiveness, his intre-
pidity in the face Of danger and his re-
sourcefulncss at the crucial hour, it Is
now an accomplished fact.
The secret Of success was found IN
a shield system and compressed air.
A long cylinder with a steel cutting
edge and a system Of doors and cham
bers in the front through which the
mud could be taken away was in
vented by Mr.. Jacobs. This immense
cylinder shield was driven forward
by a system Of hydraulic Jacks.
Twenty-Five inches ut a time the i'm
mense tube was pushed through the
wet earth. The ring Of exposed mud
behind 1t was held in place by CON-
pressed air. This pressure must needs
be nicely regulated, for II too strong
It would blow a hole through the river
bottom and II too weak the immense
weight Of water above would cave in
the roof Of the tunnel. As rapidly MS
each twenty-five inch ring was ex-
posed by the forward movement It
was Immediately covered by perma-
ncnt tunnel walls and ceilings of steel
and iron. which were riveted into place.
inside this was built another arched
wall Of brick. Again was the shield
pushed forward. the mud removed and
the next exposed ring treated in the
same nne
vention by running into an unexpected
area OF silt and dccomposed rock while
driving the gas tunnel under the East
river. From the initial stages he de-
veloped the idea until for the second
trolley tunnel under the Hudson he
had dispensed with the idea Of remov-
ing the mud and forced it aside as Il
stake forces aside the earth into which
It is driven. One Of the chief Oh.
stacles into which the resourceful ell
gineer ran was in this same second
trolley tunnel, where he had to drive
a portion Of the hole through rock be-
low and mud above. To overcome this
difficulty an apron or platform was
forced out ahead Of the shield and the
earth removed underneath down to
the rock, which was then blasted so
carefully us not to injure the mnchin-
cry. \ third obstacle has been fore
seen and met IN the construction Of the
Pennsylvania railroad tunnels. There
the mud under the river bottom will
not sustain the tracks with the heavy
traffic that will pass over them. To
obviate this difficulty an ingenious
method OF sinking piers down to the
bedrock has been devised.
The actual carrying out Of these
plans has been attended by many dan
gerous and thrilling experiences. At
times OF peril Mr.. Jacobs takes charge
Of the men in person.
