Three men went out west to seek
their fortunes. One located In the
Middle West-not the Middle West

but the central section OF the west
ern half OF the United States-in the
desert country. He started his sue
cessful career by taxing up govern

He was In the cattle country--the
COW country-and he made his strike
In cattle.
His friend went further north. still
In the desert area, close to the Cana
dian line-in the sheep country. He
took up q government homestead
claim and committed II.
The third man went into the far
northwest-the Oregon country Of
Lewis and Clarke-and he took up q
government timber claim. He located
In q land where numbering was done.
And these three men became great
cattle and sheep and timber kings,
and incidentally landlords: and their
operations while widely different
were singularly similar. They filed on
their government claims and at the
earliest possible moment ench man
proved up and sold out for cash to
larger land grabbers. And % they
learned the mode and got their start
toward land grabbing themselves.
The desert entryman was supposed
under the law to live at least three
years OH his $40 acres and to expend
during that period 5000 In constructs

The timber entryman went into the

northwest--and under the timber and

for Florist Kramer to offer 100000

GIANT RIVER TUNNELS.
TAKE PLACE OF BRIDGES IN COZ.
MEETING NEW JERSEY AND
NEW YORK.

Completion of Behring'S Under Hudson
River-One of Greatest of Engineer.
ing Feats
After half century Of speculation
on the practicability Of tunneling the
Hudson river from New Jersey to the
island Of Manhattan, it is now possi-
BILE to walk dry-shod from Jersey to
New York. The twin bores have been
completed; that is, they have been cut
through and cased in, though of course
some finishing touches are yet to be
put upon them. It was q few days
ago that in the presence OF the engi-
neers, the directors and dozen re-
porters. w. G.. Oakman, president Of
the Hudson Companies, split an old
brick bulkhead with hydraulic jack
and completed the first Manhattan
Jersey tunnel system. There was q
six-inch gap in the wall. A gang Of
ground hogs" rammed the breach q
little wider, and the party crawled
through into New York city.
The old wall that was cut through
was seven feet thick. 1t is the relic
Of a former failure to tunnel the
Hudson. Twenty-three years ago the
engineers of the old Hudson Company,
after cutting considerable distance
under the river, abandoned the enter
prise and walled in the unfinished
work with this brick bulknead.
Two tube-tunnels run parallel be-
meath the Hudson river, the work Of
boring them being done under direc-
ton of the New York and New Jer-
sey Railroad Company. but this COM
pany entrusted the actual performance
of the work to the Hudson Companies.
The present tube has been two
years in the course of construction.
Tho tubes will cost when completed
about $4,000, 900, and the entire work
will cost about $3O,0O0,000.
Fifteen Feet in Diameter.
Tie tubes are $500 feet long, 15A
feet in diameter and are intended for
one track each, with sidewalk for
workmen. Two tubes have been start
ed on the New Jersey shore, to run
under the river to Cortlandt and
Church streets. These tubes will be
1914 feet in diameter. The tubes Just
completed will connect on the New
Jersey shore with the Pennsylvania
and the Lackawanna terminals. In
Manhattan one branch will connect
with the subway under Fourth ave-
nue. at Aston Place. Another branch
will run to Sixth avenue and Thirty
third street. A trip through the entire
length of the tunnel from the subway
TO Hoboken will cost only five cents.
About six hundred men have been en-
ployed in the tunnels.
Cars will be running through these
tube-tunnels in eighteen months. The
safety of transportation in the tunnel
needs no demonstration, for trains will
run in q steel tube the strength Of
which to resist pressure has been care
fully worked out. Being laid from
fifteen to fifty feet below the river
bed, it cannot be affected by the ac-
ton of tidewater. The tube is a steel
lined hole in the earth. and except for

that all genius was akin to savagery.

crimson satin. in the form of shield,
adorns the center. The walls are hung

tiny monkey skulls. the eve sockets of

lights.
The "divine Sarah" has parted with
her pet tiger. and now has for COM
panion large and ugly baboon, whose
ears have been pierced so that they
may carry huge rings of solid gold.
Bernhardt is said to look as young as
she did twenty years ago. Her face
is without wrinkles and her step Is as
spry and her manner as vivacious as
when she first electrified her native
city as an actress.

Attempted Craftings.
Various articles have been tried by
clever but INSCRIPTIONS people to OBJ
tain specimens OF the "Queen Beat
rice" rose, hany coming into the
Kramer establishment where q huge
bouquet of the blooms was on exhibit
ton, Offering to purchase at large
prices a single flower for a bout0n-
Mere. Others have gone 80 far as to
order elaborate funeral designs with
the proviso that nothing but this par
ticular kind Of rose be used. These
were only lodges to obtain the healthy
wood for slipping and growing, for
the beet time to make rose cuttings Ia
either Just before or Immediately after
the plant comes into bloom.
One Washington florist who origi-
mated the "Ivory" rose-a handsome
white flower, and sport OF Golden
Gate"-was unwise enough to sell cut
flowers. thereby enabling the purchar
sers to propagate the variety cheaply.
The Washington Florists Club re-
Gently awarded the new "Queen Beat
rice" rose a certificate of merit, the
first of the kind ever given by the
club. The new flower Is so striking
and beautiful that every member OF
the club consented to the award.
