The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-05-24

are engaged today 5,629 men, 300 ami
mails. nine locomotives and nine steam
shovels. For eighteen months there
has been no cessation of labor, and it
is hoped that in eight more the work
will be completed.
Obstacles to BE Met.
An idea of the difficulties encounter
ed can be formed from the fact that
this line in forty miles crosses the
Potomac river nine times, the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal seven times, the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad three
times, passes through mountain ranges
and spurs by five tunnels, varying in
length from 700 to 400 feet, through
ridges and hills by innumerable cuts,
many of them over fifty feet deep
through solid rock and almost mile
in length, and that a great portion OF
the road is being cut out OF the rocky
sides of mountain ranges directly
above the canal. One of the most I'M
usual difficulties in railroad cOnstruc-
ton and yet the most troublesome on
this line has been a disposition of the
earth and rock removed in making the
roadbed, difficulty arising from the
fact that the Wabash follows closely
the canal route. While waiting for
legal right to bridge the old waterway
it was necessary to push the construc-
ton work, and to do this the contract,
ors employed some striking methods.
At Welton tunnel, mile south OF
Cumberland, a large wheel was placed
on top of the mountain above the tun-
mel entrance. cables were run from
this across the river and canal to the
low land, where filing was necessary,
and the rock from the tunnel was car
ried over in a large iron bucket sus-
pended from the cable. The labOrers'
camp was located on top OF the noun
tain. and the men constructed 100
foot ladder leading up the precipitOus
face of rocks from the mouth of the
tunnel, and this ladder they assembled
and descended many times a day.

Rubber Qualities of the
Monroe Doctrine.
Monroe Doctrine.

'|The India rubber qualities of the
Monroe doctrine are being made man
ifest with a vengeance" says Tom
Watson in an editorial in his maya
zine for May.
'Once we understood it to mean, in
a general way, that Europe must
hands off'-no more conquest, colo
nizatiOn, or extension of the European
system on the American continent.
"By Mr.. Cleveland England was
told, with frmness, that she couldn't
steal Venezuela's land, even though
the theft consisted of the simple device
of moving the boundary line.
"With Mr.. Roosevelt's advent to
power comes a decidedly new chapter
in the evolution of the Monroe doc
trine.
''We are to assume a sort of trus-
teeship for adjacent governments.
1--WE must see to it that they conduct
themselves decently and in order.
They must pay their debts to citizens
of other countries and behave them
selves generally in way that meets
our approval.
''Mr, Roosevelt, in advancing the
Monroe doctrine to this extent, has
undertaken a big contract for this
country.
'If we are to be the policemen for
South America, Santo Domingo, Gu
ba, Mexico and Central America we
must, first of all, have a powerful
navy.
''This is clear to everybody.
what is not so clear is that a
powerful standing army will inevitably
follow-as sure as fate it will follow.
For it is certain that natural re-
suit of our hectoring, bulldOzing over
lord attitude toward countries like
those mentioned will make them our
bitter enemies. South America al
ready hates us: and has cause to hate
US.

A GIANT TASK IN RAILROAD BUILDING
Two Carloads cf Powder in Single Blast. $3.50

ployed on Piecec of Track for Wabash System

I almost every foot on the roadbed, IN
fact it was a small one in comparison
to some that have been fired. In one
blast. in Siding Hill mountain, the
charge consisted of L. 400 cans OF
powder, just two carloads, and when
it was put off rocks weighing half a
ton were hurled through the air hun
dreds of yards, across the Potomac
river, and striking telegraph poles
along the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
broke them off close to the ground.
1t is this necessity for almost con-
tinuous blasting that has done much
toward making this siXty-tiye mile
strip of railroad construction the
most expensive of any built in recent
wears, with the single exception of the
line over which the Wabash enters
Pittsburg. The cost of building the
first five miles from Cumberland aver
aged $3.50, 600 mile and the average
cost for the sixty-fve miles is 500, 600
mile. In building this connecting
link the Wabash has had to contend
with an unusually large number of
obstacles of a surprising variety,
some placed in the way by nature,
others by man.

Luminous shrimps.

Luminous shrimps have recently been
discovered by the Prince of Monaco in
the course OF his deep sea fishing in the
Mediterranean, says the Paris CORE
spOndent of the London Telegraph.
They live at depth of from LOO to
LOGO fathoms. They are of the size of
fine prawns and are studded with
small phOsphOrescent spots. These light
their way in the gloom of the deep wa
tiers. Unfortunately the lights go out
when the shrimps are brought TO the
surface and are of no use for illumI-
mating an aquarium.
