Scoffers, who doubt that pray
er is answered when the petition
is made in the right spirit, may
now take a back seat, for most
convincing example occurred here
Sunday night. Some days ago a
prominent gentleman in town
lost a valuable note. 1t repre-
scented several hundred dollars,
and the loss Of it meant worry
and inconvenience. He search
ed his Office thoroughly, tn e
home, and everywhere he was
likely to have misplaced it, but
no note came to light. He final
ly gave it up as lost. Sunday
night he and his good wife at
tended the Methodist church,
aud something in Rev. Vaughan's
splendid sermon re-inspired their
faith. On reaching home his
wife said: II shall kneel down
and pray earnestly that you may
find that note, and | believe the
Lord will answer it. +" She there
upon knelt and sent up an elo-
Quent and fervid appeal to the
Great White Throne, and they
both retired, comforted to a rest
full and peaceful night the first
they had spent since the note
disappeared. The next morning
the gentleman went to his office
and unthinkingly walked straight
to the place where some old pa
pers had been stored, and picked
up the lost note. 1t was in an
out of-the-way place, where he
would never in the world have
thought of looking for anything
SO valuable. He is confident it
was in answer to his wife's pray
-er that the Lord so quickly and
unerringly directed his feet in
the right direction. = Harrods-

emile HOLE THROUGH SIERRAS
Southern Pacific Decides to Undertake
That Gigantic Work

mat Utgantlc WORK
Chief Engineer William Hood has
finished plans and reports for the pro-
posed gigantic six.mile hole to be bored
through the Sierra Nevada mountains
in California, a short distance west of
the town of Truckee, California.
The object is to cut down the present
mountain climb Of 7017 feet by fully
5000 feet. and thus eliminate many of
the present curves and much of the
grade.
1t is estimated that the tunnel will
cost not less than $40. 000.0 600. and that
among other things it will cheaper the
annual expense of operating trains over
the mountain division by fully 800. 600.
Being over SO, 1000 feet in length. the
tunnel will be one of the longest in the
world and certainly the longest in the
United States.
1t is estimated that three years at
least will be required to complete this
giant tunnel, even if operations are
crowded forward as expeditiously as
possible. Besides working at each end
of the tunnel, operations will be carried
on between. This will be done by sink
ing shafts at intervals down to the
proper level and working each way.

Palisade Bunkers Nearing Completio!

Palisade Bunkers Nearing Completion
From j.. NJ. Requa of Palisade, who
spent last Saturday and Sunday in
Eureka, it lie learned that good progress
is being made with the new ore and
coal bunkers now being built at Pail
SADIE. The ore chutes are being planked
and the pile driver is making good head
way in setting the piles for the approach
to the bunkers. They are being built
just above the f. & p. car shops, and
as the track on top of the bunkers is
about 40 feet high, the grade approach
extends a considerable distance up Pail.
SADIE canyon. When completed there
will be no more shoveling of ore or coal
in Palisade. and then all the hauling in
and out of Eureka will be done in the
self-dumping ore cars.
