And some time next year Harlcmites
viii be shot under the East river, through
the rapid transit tunnel, to the residen
tial sections of Brooklyn. 1t will be a
journey of about an hours duration,
whereas two are now required TO make
the trip
There is still another item to the Won
der of transportation 1t is the bridges.
Within the next eight years the world
famed Brooklyn bridge will have three
sisters spanning the East river at vary
ing distances to the north of it. One,
the Williamsburg, a rnightier monument
to the bridge builders skill than even
the Brooklyn has been open year or
so now. The suspended forty-fve thou
sand tons Of material, the shore piers,
the approaches and the land necessary
for the approaches, cost twenty millions.
\ like sum is to be spent on the Man
haitian bridge, which is being erected
only few blocks away from the Brook
iyn bridge; and the third bridge, which
by the way viii not be OF the suspension
type, an island giving foundaton for the
central piers, will take only four millions
less.
Thus, 10 complete the wonder OF trans
portaton in New York an aggregate sum
# four hundred and seventy one million
will be spent And in this is not included
the cost OF freight yards that will break
records for size and capacity, for the
e,cctrifcati0n OF the railroad system on
Long Island and the three millions that
the city has spent to secure between
Manhattan and Staten islands the fastest
ferry service in the world. Include the
cost Of these and the total overruns half
billion dollars.
Wonderful-al wonderful Yet the
greatest wonder in connection with this
wonder OF transportation is that men can
be found who will day after day work
doggedIy, will push the under-river tun-
nels inch by inch to completion, all the
time knowing that the tons of water and
slime but few feet, and often only
matter OF inches above them, is liable
to rush in on them at any moment. Yet
here are the men by the hundreds Men
who bored the great Smplon tunnel un-
der the Alps, men who have burrowei
under Asia and Africa as well-the

steeled alike against the dread Bends"

Mary had little lamb, its fleece was
white assnow it strayed away one day,
where lambs should never go. And
Mary sat her quickly down and tears
streamed from her eyes; she never
found lhe lamb because she did not adj

who kept village store; he sat him
down and smoked his pipe, and watch
edathe open door. And as the people
passed along and did not stop to buy,
John still sat and smoked his pipe and
blinked his sleepy eyes. And so the

which has, in and out of season, sup
ported the Adams law aud demanded
the extension of that law. And now,

ORE SHIPMENTS.

Duluth.-It is now certain that the
ore shipments from the Lake Superior
region for 1906 will he approximately
100000 tons. and with = favorable
month OF November, as far as weather
is concerned, the total may reach 49,
100000. The total under any reason
able conditions OF weather for the
balance Of the season is likely to be
over rather than under 100000 tons.
The position of Minnesota in the iron
ore industry is one Of pre~eninence in
the United States, and Is rivaled in the
world only by the German empire. The
Mesaba range ia expected to ship about
23,000.O00 tons OF the 100000 tons to
be shipped this season. and the Ver-
million range will come in for close
to 100000 tons. making the total for
Minnesota as near as can be estimated
at present. about 25,00o.ooo tons. leav-
ing 100000 tons to be shipped from
other states bordering on Lake Su-
perior. Minnesota last season shipped
about two-thirds Of all the ore for
warded from Lake Superior. and the
proportion, 1t is expected, will be about
the same this year.
