ANOTHER Tunnel PROJECT
There Is Plan Afoot to Connect Prince
Edward Island with the
Mainland.

One of the most important and in
teresting of engineering problems in
these days of tunnels is that of con.
nection between Prince Edward Is
land and the mainland Of Canada.
This island, lying as it does in the
lower Gulf of st. Lawrence, is ver-
liable garden in summer, but it is
so isolated in winter as to prove a
great discouTagement to its popula-
ton of about 100000 thrifty and en-
terprising people, says the American
Syren and Shipping.
1t is an Independent province o.
Canada, with its own local legisla.
ture, lieutenant governor and all the
legal machinery of any other province.
but for three or four months in the
year is so cut off from communica-
ton as to make transit difficult and
dangerous. The past winter has been
so severe that for a month at a time
the island was without mails.
The trouble is with the ice. The
gulf does not freeze up solidly, as
does the st. Lawrence river. but the
swift tides and currents coming from
the straits Of Belle Isle, the Cabot
straits (between Cape Breton and
Newfoundland) and the strait Of
Canso. swirl through the Northumber-
land straits. which separates Prince
Edward Island from the mainland, and
carry with them fields and bergs OF
ice that are often impenetrable by
the most powerful steamers.
It is stated that the distance at the
narrowest point Of the shores across
the strait is about 61s nautical miles.
and with approaches the tunnel would
be in all about s1a miles. The island
is now contributing about 81, 400. 600
to the revenue Of Canada per year
and contributes to all the great works
of Canada without complaint.
The province is an old one, capable
of prosperity. and could support 300.
900 people easily. It has valuable fish
cries as well as agriculture. One sur
vey made some years ago by Sir Doug.
las Fox for a tunnel estimated the
cost at less than s1000.000 per mile.
but other surveyors have pronounced
the bottom OF the strait a mass OF
granite powders, polished cleanly by
the ice TO such a degree as to sparkle
in summer sun beneath the partlcu-
larry clear water. while between these
masses Of granite are clefts Of vast
depth across which tunnel would be
impracticaDle. Further surveys win,
however. doubtless sooD oe made.

Kansas City Stock Market

Special to the Chieftain.
Kansas City, Mo-, Monday, Aug. r.
Quarantine receipts last week were
450 cars, quite an increase over the
previous week. Market closed the
week 10 to 20 cents higher on all kinds.
All the packers are now in the field
for Gamers, and this class advanced
along with the others last week. The
supply today is liberal at 5000 head in
the quarantine division: market steady
to l0c. lower, but active, and every
thing selling readily. Two droves of
steers around l, 100 lbs. sold at $500
today; the bulk Of the steers, S3.35 to
S3. 70; light steers, $3.50 to So, 10; cows,
81. 35 to 81. 10; Gamers, S1.75 to 1920;
veals, 1926 to S5.75. One bunch Of
COWS sold last week at SO Is and few
veals up to Sc. More stocker and feeder
buyers were in the native division last
week locking for stuff than any time
this season, and there was not enough
to go around. The good corn crop is
doing it, and the strong demand from
the country will hold the packers well
in line, which, If course, will help the
situation in the quarantine division.
Hog markets are tending upward,
but with good many setbacks, as
packers are making hard fghtagainst
all advances. RECEIPTS are very light
at all points but the quality remains
good and farmers generally are hold
ing back their piggy sows, on which
the forecasters are basing predictions
Of heavy fall and winter receipts. The
market was about steady today. Re-
ceipts, 5000 head; top, s5.97t; bulk Of
sales, $685. to SIS 95 heavy lard hogs

Sheep and lambs advanced 30 to SOC.
last week and the market was active
and snappy all the time. Feeders
strong all week but not much gain in
the price. Supply today, 1000 head:
market higher IN spite Of bad reports
from the East. The market is in good
condition and packers have small
stocks on hand. Lambs bring So to
$3.50; wethers and ,earlings $3.50 to
So; ewes, s4.15 to "a. 10; stock and feed

Why, the team which finished last in the league had salary of $2,900 a month to the very last month, and was not in the running at all
 The day of $1,500 teams in this league went by when Holyoke came in. The salary list of this league has taken a great jump and a team with the salary the men name would be de eidedly loiterer and second divis- ion team from the fall of the flag
 Outside of Bridgeport, where 0'Rourke has state of affairs peculiar to Mm- self and which no other man in the league can duplicate, not a team has made any showing whatever in this league for the past two years whose actual salaries were not far above the highest figures mentioned by the Wa terbury promoters, and it will be the same the coming season. It costs money now in this league to run a team and no crowd of 400 or 800 will pay expenses back in the days when Waterbury was in the league"

Wesley Coe, the Massachusetts ama- teur shot butter, Is telling his friends that he is going to seek honors as a professional boxer this winter. While Coe has never appeared in the ring, he is nevertheless good boxer and would need but little instruction to make him dangerous man in the heavy weight division. He is well built. of good height and his performances on the athletic field show that he is very strong. For big fellow he is last on his feet and can hit hard with either hand. He is confident that he would do well even now, but he has no thought yet of being an aspirant for the championship title It was report ed recently that Coe intended to chal- lenge Jim Jeffries.

NEWS FROM HARTFORD.

This mornings Hartford Courant has the following about baseball
 Proprietor James H. Clarkin and Manager B. Daly of the Hartford baseball club returned yesterday from the annual meeting of the league ill Springfield. MT Clarkin had check for $250 in his pocket, one-half of the draft money which the Providence team pays for Hartfords premier pitcher, William Foxen. It was re- ported last season that Foxen was slated for the New York Americans, but about the time that he was said to be going one of his wild pitches went into the grandstand and 1t in- jured his reputation. Foxen was up against the Giants, the worlds cham pions Sunday, and he held them down to two hits. It is said that he has been steadily improving since the sea- son here closed.
 "The announcement of Foxen's sale will be received sorrowfully by the fans as he was regarded as the best pitcher in the Hartford outfit. There was a division of opinion about the greatness of Foxen and Parkins, and while the majority of the spectators preferred to see Foexn pitch it was said that the opposing players feared Parkins more than the curly-haired one.
 'Ira Thomas, the best catcher that Hartford has had since Worry Steel man, has been drafted from Provi- dence by the New York Americans. Ira made a fine record with the Grays last season. Formerly Ira used to get into great shape in the winter by wood chopping in the Collinsville for ests, but since he married an helress to a considerable estate, it is said he is not anxious to cut down trees. Thomas looked to be in fine health yesterday.
 Mir Tracy said that there was no truth in the report that Mir Kennedy or himself was after the Waterbury franchise. He said he would not take it if he could get it for nothing. He did not mean that it was valueless, but he did not care to have a team on his hands. He said NIT Kennedy was very busy with his barber shop, as he had just added an extra chair. and he did not think he would care to man. age team again. MT Tracy said he still kept up his interest in the game and would serve out his term as vice president of the league.
 ''The former Hartford owner thinks the team will do well here next sea son. He said 1t might not make mon ey the first few months but he be- lieved the season would be good one and that the new owners would put a good team in the field. Mir Tracy said he thought that the Waterbury team would be managed by some local man and he believed this to be the sentiment of the league directors"

 ''Yes, if he makes 133 pounds, ring side" said the Dane. He is too big a man and too dangerous to give any weight to. You see 130 is my best weight. Gardner wants me to meet him at 135 pounds six hours before the fight. That would make him 13S or 140 in the ring. He is clever and a terrific puncher. He guards like lief fries and hits like Fitzsimmons. He would fight me as a welterweight. I make no bones of it, do not care about meeting him. He is too good to banker after fighting him. If he makes 133 I must fight him, but not an ounce will I give him. He is too dangerous to fool with"
