GIANT RIVER TUNNELS.
TAKE PLACE OF BRIDGES IN CON
NECTING NEW JERSEY AND
NEW YORK.
Completion of Borings Under Hudson
River-One of Greatest of Engineer
ing FeatS.

After half century Of speculation
on the practicability of tunneling the
Hudson river from New Jersey to the
island of Manhattan, it is now possi-
BILE to walk dry-shod from Jersey to
New York. The twin bores have been
completed; that is, they have been cut
through and cased in, though of course
some finishing touches are yet to be
put upon them, 1t was few days
ago that in the presence of the engi-
neers, the directors and a dozen re-
porters, w. G. Oakman, president of
the Hudson Companies, split an old
brick bulkhead with a hydraulic jack
and completed the first Manhattan
Jersey tunnel system. There was a
six-inch gap in the wall. A gang of
ground hogs" rammed the breach a
little wider. and the party crawled
through into New York city.
The old wall that was cut through
was seven feet thick. 1t is the relic
of a former failure to tunnel the
Hudson. Twenty-three years ago the
engineers of the old Hudson Company,
after cutting considerable distance
under the river, abandoned the enter
prise and walled in the unfinished
work with this brick bulkhead
Two tube-tunnelS run parallel be-
meath the Hudson river, the work of
boring them being done under direc-
tion of the New York and New Jer-
sey Railroad Company, but this COM
pany entrusted the actual performance
of the work to the Hudson Companies.
The present tube has been two
years in the course Of construction.
Tho tubes will cost when completed
about $13,000,0 900, and the entire work
will cost about s3O,0O0OOO.
Fifteen Feet in Diameter.
The tubes are $500 feet long, 15A
feet in diameter and are intended for
one track each, with sidewalk for
workmen. Two tubes have been start
ed on the New Jersey shore, to run
under the river to Cortlandt and
Church streets. These tubes will be
1914 feet in diameter. The tubes just
completed will connect on the New
Jersey shore with the Pennsylvania
and the Lackawanna terminals. In
Manhattan one branch will connect
with the subway under Fourth ave-
nue. at Astor Place. Another branch
will run to Sixth avenue and Thirty
third street. A trip through the entire
length of the tunnel from the subway
to Hoboken will cost only FIVE cents.
About six hundred men have been en-
ployed in the tunnels.
Cars will be running through these
tube-tunnels in eighteen months. The
safety of transportation in the tunnel
needs no demonstration, for trains will
run in steel tube the strength OF
which to resist pressure has been care
fully worked out. Being laid from
fifteen to fifty feet below the river
bed, 1t cannot be affected by the ac-
tion OF tidewater. The tube Is a steel
lined hole in the earth. and except for

1t having been proved practicable

be expected that in course of time ev-

will have its own tunnel. The East
river piercings do not present much
of problem. In less than five years
trains ought to be running from Phil
adelphia to Boston with no water to
be crossed.
1t is believed that within ten years
electric trains will make the trip from

Florist II. II. Kramer. Of Washington.
Bissett is the head gardener OF Mrs.
Gardiner Hubbard, the widow Of the
late Gardiner Hubbard, at one time
president of the National Geographic
Society. She is the mother -in-law OF
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor
OF the telephone. The new rose was
produced at her beautiful suburban
residence, Twin Oaks. just outside OF
the national capital.
The leading florists Of the country
have known of the existence OF this
rose for year and have made various
tempting offers for It, but 1t remained
for Florist Kramer to offer $4,000
and finally secure the beauty.
Such fabulous sum for rose
seems insignificant. however, when II
is remembered that but few years
ago Thomas Lawson OF "Frcnzied FL

carnntion. while the greater amount
OF $4,000 was expended for the "Fi-

The editor and his wife took horse
back ride through Waveland during the
week and noted with pleasure the i'm
prOYements that were going on in that
delightful little city along the beach.
While the quarantine has done much
to arrest the progress of the city, the
homes, and the merchants are selling
the goods to those who remain over for
the summer.
Garvey & Michel's store report that
they have done as good a business as
could be expected for the stringent
times, and Capt Dill and Mayor Bour-
geois and others, interviewed, report
that business has been fairly good, con-
sidering the quarantine regulations.
There is movement on foot in Wave
land to convert the old Ullman Woolen
Factory, which has recently changed
hands, into a vegetable canning fac
tory, and a company is to be formed
to plant the circumiacent land in yege-
taLles and fruit. 1t is reported that the
L. C N. Railroad has offered to put a
switch to the building, if such plans
materialize.
Capt. Dill has bought the Episcopal
Church building, recently used as a
town hall, and has an architect at work
on plans to convert the same into a resi-
dence for himself.
Quite beautiful part of Wayeland is
hidden from the general public, yet
some beautiful residences nestle there,
on the avenue that parallels the railroad
on the north.
The town hall and the school building
are being treated to new coat of paint
prior to the school assembling on next
Monday.
Mayor Bourgeois reported that the
school was the pride Of the town and
that before the present session was over
the city would have a neat modern
school building.

The Gulf Coast Traction Company

Since the meeting of the Gulf Trac-
tion Company few days ago at Sisters
vile West Virginia, much speculation
has been indulged in on the part Of
some of our citizens as the ultimate
terminal of said system.
Taking into consideration all Of the
movements made by the company from
the initiative, the character and per-
sonel of the men who compose the
Board and Stockholders it will be fool
ish to suppose that the men who are
behind the scheme intend the Trolly
system to be so local as to start at Bill
oxi and to end at Pass Christian.
In the first place tie capital stock
being placed as high as it is, and then
the additinal bond Issue of million
dollars, and the absorption of the two sys-
TENS of street railway of Biloxi and Gulf
port would indicate that the railway
would seek a larger terminal than either
Biloxi or Pass Christian. When in the
office of Mr.. F. D. Gatchell during the
early part of the project, ere the Presi-
dent had driven the first spike inaugu-
rating the scheme it wac learned that
quite a number of forty-foot cars for
passengers had been ordered similar to
those used on the belt systems IN the
CITY, and that fifteen minute schedule
would be inaugurated and a cheap
interurban fare wauld be given,
1t was also ascertained from the plans
that powerhouse big enough to operate
between Mobile and New Orleans was
to be constructed for this traction
company and enough rails to more than
complete the system as projected.
There seems to be some opposition Co the
construction of this trolly system so far
as the towns are concerned through
which twill pass, and the great stress IS
laid on the fact that the railway will
mar the beauty of the front in certain
places, but the inestimable good that will
accure to the citizens Of the various
cities will more than counterbalance
.he evil. L. l.. IRAWICk'

ANIMALS in her front yard, He suggests
that the government, through its agri-
cultural department, will furnish the
seeds, or they can, at any rate, be
bought for very small amount.
Prof. Allison has distinguished him
self along the lines suggested in botany
and has collected over twelve hundred
of the native wild plants of Mississippi.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-06-15

Gossip has been busy lately with the name of ex-Delegate Dennis Flynn of Oklahoma, who is mentioned as pos sible successor of Secretary Hitchcock of the department of the interior, says our Washington correspondent. MT Hymns friends make no secret of their hope that when Mir Hitchcock retires from the cabinet MT Flynn will be ap- pointed to succeed him. Long deie- gate from the territory and thoroughly familiar with the conditions prevailing in that part of the country, MT Flynn has. they say, unusual qualifications for the position. While it would be q departure from custom to take cabi- net officer from a territory, it is quite probable this objection will be re moved by Oklahoma becoming a state before Secretary Hitchcock retires, and it is urged that President Roosevelt cannot do more to emphasize the friendly interest he has taken HI 'ise territory than by giving 1t a cabinet position. Such an appointment might do much toward making the new state republican. MT Flynn has been on very friendly terms with the president for number of years and Is one of the foremost champions of statehood for the territory. He is not now ih Washington, and the report that the president was considering his name could not be verified. An intimate friend. however. expressed the opinion that the qualifications of the former delegate had been called to the atten- ton. of the president. and that when Secretary Hitchcock was ready to an- nounee the date of his retirement, NIT Flynns friends would urge his ap- pointment.
