Pany, yesterday, in Washington, adj
mitted that the company had 20 or 80
exclusive contracts with railroads for
fruit-transportation business, and ac-
knowledged monopoly ofthat traffic in

To Tunnel the Blue Ridge.


A dispatch from Hagerstown, Nd.
says that surveyors in charge of a skilled
engineer are making surveys for tuns
mel through the Blue Ridge Mountains
for the Wabis Railroads fast passenger
and heavy freight trains. Members of
the survey corps are now at work in the
vicinity of Blue Ridge summit VIII 10
several initiatory surveys have already
been made for such a piece of railroad
ing, the one now in progress will be
the most complete and exhaustive of
any yet undertaken. The purpose of
the proposed tunnel is to avoid the big
grades that make it impossible 10 haul
heavy freight trains over the mountains
or to make fast time with passenger
trains.
To overcome this the railroad COM
pany will start line at the base OF the
mountain in the vicinity of Smithsburg
aud build northeast toward RouzeryilIe,
and then through Germantown Gap to
the point where it 10 necessary to begin
tunneling. A former survey made the
tunnel pass directly under Monterey
Inn. The lines of the survey now in
progress run directly beneath Buena
Vista Springs Hotel. The surveys now
being made will determine the route.
A prominent railroad man stated
that he understood the CONTRACTORS
now engaged on the line between Big
Pool aud Cumberland would be asked
to bid on the proposed tunnel work.
The impression prevails here that the
work of digging the tunnel will begin
as SION as the connecting link is COM
pleted.
