to Shut Out Competition.
Special to The Journal.

Fargo, n. D., Aug. 25.-Members of the

phatic protest to the state capitol commission

tects, contractors and builders. The exchange,

SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS

Was there ever so much fraud. graft, bribery and corruption in public affairs as there is now in this country. The exposures which are daily being made in all parts of the country create an ex- ceedingly unpleasant impression, to say the least, and has pessi- mistlc influence on the average in- dividual. Such corrupt practices are extremely harmful and involve the Gownfall of our institutions and the basic principles of the American republic if they are per- mltted to go on.
 Nearly all our legislatures and many of the state and municipal governments are becoming a cess pool of corruption. Bribery, it seems, is becoming so common that we even hear of attempts to bribe iuries; and the courts. too, Tn some cases, are not entirely above suspicion.
 It is indeed serious condition of affairs that today confronts the people, and the corruption that is being uncovered should so arouse public indignation that every pub lie man upon whom rests the slightest shade of suspicion should be retired with a singing rebuke to political obscurity.

GREAT OMAHA TUNNEL
 NEARING COMPLETION
After Two Years and 8 Half of Work Excavation is Finished But
 Other Obstacles Arise.

Reports from the front say that the construction work on the White River railroad is progress ing very satisfactorily, with the exception of obstacles encountered in the Omaha tunnel, near the state line.
 It k said that those who have not seen the tunnel cannot realize the magnitude of the enterprise, nor estimate the enormous cost of its construction. The total length of the tunnel is 3,1SO feet. The Turkey Creek tunnel, three miles beyond, is 3,400 feet long, but it was through solid rock, and has been completed several months. and at far less cost. The greater part of the Omaha tunnel, it IS said, appears in time to have been an old waterway, filled with sticky mud, or muck, and boulders that could not be blasted. and was very hard to penetrate with pick and shovel. The excavation, however. has, after two and half years working day and night, been com pleted, and now the nature of the ground makes 1t necessary to con- crete the greater portion of 1t. To do this 1t becomes necessary to cut out every timber used for sup ports while the excavating was being done, to give sufficient vol ume or body to the concrete, which k from two to six feet thick on the sides, and from three to four feet thick overhead. In addition to the concrete overhead there Is a network of iron bars or supports for the concrete.
 To make the work in the tunnel worse a number of strong springs were encountered which made it necessary to have an 1S-inch pipe to carry the water from the tunnel. Engineer Hardy Bryan in charge of the work, is reported to have stated that he hopes to have it completed by September 1, by which time it is thought the track laying will be completed in each direction and that through trains will be running soon thereafter.
