siMPLoN TUNNEL FINISHED.
One Of the Greatest Engineering Works
the World Has Ever Known.

Condo, Switzerland, Feb. 26.-Pierc-
ing of the Simplon tunnel through the
Alps was completed at 1920 O'Clock Fri
day morning. The work was COM
menced in 1898.
Many unexpected obstacles were en-
countered, the most serious being hot
springs, which theatened to wreck the
whole enterprise, and a temperature
which at one time rose to 131 degrees
Fahrenheit, making a continuance Of
the work impossible until the engi-
neers found means of cooling the at
mosphere.
Now that the borers have met. it
will enable the water accumulated in
the north gallery to be drawn of.
The work Of preparing the tunnel
for permanent railway will be rushed
as rapidly as possible and 1t is hoped
to inaugurate the tunnel about March
Goth.
The piercing of the Simplon is re-
g,rded as being on of the greatest en-
ineering achievements of the age.
lany difficulties were encountered
md overcome.
The length Of the tunnel from Briga.
in Switzerland. to Iselle. on the Ital-
ian side of the mountain. is about
twelve miles. Work was begun over
seven years ago, and according to con-
:ract the tunnel must be ready for traf-
&c May 18th next. The Swiss and Ital-
ian governments jointly financed the
undertaking, share and share alike. at
the cost Of $15.000.00O.
AS soon as the boring is thoroughly
completed and the track laid, smaller
tunnel is to be constructed. parallel to
the large one, which will be increased
in size so as to permit OF traffic both
ways at the same time.

JAPANESE AGAIN WIN.
Reports Of Battle in Progress on Rus
sian Left Flank.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. %, I: 80 a. m
An action Of no mean proportions is in
progress on the Russian left flank. The
advantage thus far is on the side of the
Japanese. though at heavy cost. From
advices from the front II is dificul, to
say how severe the losses have been
or how decisive the reverse, and
whether the Japanese are likely to at
tempt to d,1ve in the Russian left
much further.
General Kuropatkin evidently has
been trying to establish his left fnak
far in advance. to command the cross
ings Of the Taitse river. the operation
being a counterpart of General Grip
penberg's movement on the right flank
to secure the fords OF the Hun river
preparatory to the breaking up of the
ice In the spring.
The scene OF the operations is fifty
miles southeast OF Mukden. beyond Da
pass, an important defile commanding
the road to Fushun. both armies occu-
pying apparently impregnable jositlons
on the centers. General Kuropatkin
evidently planned to inaugurate widely
sweeping operations on both fanks.
but the japanese countered hard.

temporary blow at the immense export

Nearly a dozen squares Of modern

loaded cars and vast quantities OF
freight. including 10000 bales OF cot

large number of small residences. The

Central property.
1t has not been determined whether
there has been any loss OF life. The
ocean.going shipping seems to have es-
capped serious damage. A number OF

were injured. Actual estimates of the
losses are impossible yet, though they
may exceed $5.000.000.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Hearings in
the case OF Kansas versus Colorado

and C. C. Dawson were present on be-
half Of Colorado. S. H. Ashbaueh rep
resented Kansas, and A. c. Campbell!
represented the government.

Delegate Rodey. Representative Bell OF
California and Jones of Washington,
and George H. Maxwell of the National
Irrigation association
Delegate Rodey testified in effect
that there had been reclaimed by irri-
CATION in New Mexico about 1,5000,00C
acres. and that about 100000 acres
could be added by impounding and u.s.
ing food and other waters which now
go to waste. That this land, if re-
claimed would support several mil
lions of population, and that If the
contention of Kansas was sustained.
large parts of the already irrigated
area would be rendered arid and unin-
habitable, and there would be practi-
cally no future development in New
Mexico along agricultural or horticul-
tural lines.
Representative Jones stated that
while it was true that the supreme
court of his state had decided that the
doctrine of riparian rights prevailed
there. yet that such doctrine was not
enforced in the arid sections OF the
Ctnto fo, I,<
be that lands which are now irrigated
would be greatly damaged. if not de-
stroyed. and that several hundred
thousand acres of land in the arid sec
ton. which are capable of irrigation
would forever remain unproductive and
uninhabitable, and that under such
doctrine the reclamation act could not
be enforced in his state. Further. that
the legislature of Washington was now
considering bill which would in ef-
feet make the reclamation act oper
ative.
Representative Bell stated among
other things, that from 12.000,00O to
IL 900 coo acres could be added to the
irrigated area in California. thus in
creasing its wealth many millions of
dollars and adding to it's population
many millions, but that no future de-
velopment could be made II the doc
trine of riparian rights. as contended
for by Kansas, was sustained and ap-
piled in his state.
Mr.. Maxwell stated that under the
reclamation act and under the doctrine
of appropriation of water OF streams
for beneficial uses, about 150.000.000
acres of lands now arid and unproduct-
i've in the arid region. could be made
productive and profitable, and placed
in high state of cultivation. but that
no future development could be had in
the arid regions, nor could the policy
of the government as seen in the re-
clamation act be enforced. If the con-
tention of Kansas was sustained.

Estimate that Work Can Be Finished
in Ten or Twelve Years-cost Of
Excavation Can be Lessened.
Washington, Feb. 27.-The first def
mite engineering plans for the con-
struction Of the Panama canal have
Just been laid before the Isthmian Ca
nal Commission by the Engineering
committee of that body, consisting Of
Commissioners Burr, Parsons and Da-
Wis. The principal recommendations
are summed up in this resolution:
Resolved, that this committee ap-
proves and recommends for adoption
by the commission a plan for a sea-
level canal, with bottom width of $50
feet and a minimum depth OF water
Of thirty-five feet and with twin tidal
locks at Mirafores, whose usable di-
mensions shall be 1000 feet long and
100 feet wide, at a total estimated cost
Of $23O,25O,OOO. Such estimates in
cludes an allowance for administration,
engineering, sanitation and contingeu-
cies, amounting to $3S,450,000, but
without allowance for interest during
construction, expense of zone govern
ment and collateral costs, and water
supply sewers or paving OF Panama or
Colon which last items are to be repaid
by the inhabitants of those cities"
The committee estimates that a sea
level canal can be completed within
ten or twelve years from the present
time.
These recommendations are the con-
clusions of report to the committee
prepared In the canal zone under date
OF February 14th last and based on
complete engineering reports on all of
the problems involved.
The committee decided that under
no circumstances should the surface
of the canal be more than sixty feet
above the sea and estimates that at
this level the cost would be $11S.O13,-
406. A thirty-foot level is estimated
to cost $194,213.40G
1t is recommended that the Chagres
river be controlled by dam at Gam
boa, built to a crest height of 200 feet
and the waters Of the lake thus created
disposed Of through tunnels. The
work on the foundation of the dam
will require from one to one and
half years should the work begin at
once. The dam at this place, 1t is said,
involves no formidable obstacle. which
is not the case at the BOhio location.
Actual work with the new American
steam shovels in the Culebra cut has
demonstrated that the entire excava-
tion can be done at a cost of so cents
a cubic yard. The former Isthmian
commission estimated this cost at so
cents. This reduction amounts to a
total OF $15,0O0,OOO and is given as
justification of the recommendation of
the sea-level canal.
