PROVES HARD PROBLEM
Behring'S Show Formation Is Sand and
Clay-Cars Will Have to Be Turned
to Rondo Line.

Work Of tunneling Selby hill, St.
Paul, for a street car subway is going
to be much more difficult Job than
was at first contemplated. It was
thought that beneath the surface of
Selby hill would be found quantity
of solid limestone thru which the tun..
mel could be cut to secure a gradua!!
grade for street cars from the top OF
the hill to the level below. ..s. 81
behring's have been going on for sew
eral weeks, the borings being at
depth Of forty to fifty feet. They have
demonstrated that practically the whole
portion of the hill where the tunnel
will go is composed Of fine sand and
necessary to discontinue service Of cars
on Selby hill while the construction Of
the subway Is in progress.
It is the plan Of the company TEN
porarily to switch the Selby line ovel
to the Rondo track, crossing on Far

town on the Rondo and Maria route.

TREMENDOUS POWER IN

Engineers Report Shows Feasibility
of Development Of 1,25o,ooo Horsre-
Power in Great Waterway.

Special to The journal. ~
Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 15.-The report
of the engineer in charge of the Geor-
giah Bay canal survey, to be presented
to. the dominion parliament will show
the feasibility Of hydro:electric de-
velopment Of 1,250,00o horsepower
along the route. It is considered that
an expenditure of $100,000,000 would be
justified for the increased facilities
afforded for the transportation Of the
products Of the western wheat fields to
the Atlantic seaboard by this proposed
great waterway. But, if in addition,
this great electric development can be
realized there would be much stronger
incentive for proceeding with the work
as national undertaking. 80

the government ownership question.
1t is the appropriate function of the
government to safeguard the individual

the table, and that everybody is getting
square deal. It is not the appropriate
function Of the government to sit or
