All these tunnels are actually under
way. Two are completed, four more are
nearly complete, and four nearly half
bored.
Then the tunnels are to come in the
near future-forty-fve odd miles of
them under Manhattan and Brooklyn,
giving speedy access to every part of
these boroughs and the Borough of the
Bronx, just to the north of Manhattan
Island and forming the only part of the
greater city which is on mainland.
These, like the subway, will be built
under municipal direction, and after a
term of years will revert Internationally,
equipment and all, to the city. Plans for
them are now ready, and before many
months it is expected that the work OF
building the first of these interborough
tunnels, which will probably be operated
in conjunction with the subway, will be
we'll under way.
Within the next ten years the tunnels
under the island of Manhattan will form
a veritable gridiron of electric train pas
sage ways. And there will be at least
two layers of tunnels in places. For ex-
ample, at Thirty-fourth street and
Fourth avenue, the railroad tunnels will
run below the subway, and some of the
rapid transit crosstown tunnels are be-
ing planned to be bored many feet be-
meath the subway and the projected tun-
nels that will have the same general di-
rection, that is, run lengthwise of the
island.
A quarter of billion dollars is the
enormous sum that the city expects to
spend in consummating its share of the
wonder of transportation. This includes
the fifty million dollars spent for the
subway and the thirty millions for the
East river and Brooklyn extensions Be

tween thirty and forty million dollars
will be, spent in completing the North
river. and Manhattan Island trolley tun-
nels and in building the two skyscraper
terminals essential to the system, one on
the edge of the financial district, the
other in the Thirty-third street shopping
center.
Twenty million dollars has already
been spent by the railroad in question.
Forty millions more is expected to see
the improvement through to the last de-
tail In these millions is included the
cost of the great terminal station to be
built In the heart of the city. It will
be one of the largest terminals in the
world; for its site thirty city blocks were
cleared of the hotels, retail stores, man
ufactories, flats, apartment houses, priv
ate houses. Thousands of persons were
forced to find homes and places of busi-
ness elsewhere in the city. The trolley
tunnels under the East river will call for
fifteen millions

transportation.
In order to bring its terminal facilities
not only up to date, but, if possible, put
them years ahead of the city, the railroad
that now enjoys a monopoly of direct en-
trance into Manhattan is busy spending
| fifty millions on mammoth station and
| for electrihcation of its lines within a
| fifty miles radius of the metropolis.
The concourse of this station will be
the largest business room in the world
Its dimensions will be seven times those
of the present lobby; it will be 40 feet
long, 100 feet in width, and $50 feet
from floor to peak of the great domed
roof Restaurant and toilet accomno-
dations are to be increased FIVE hundred
fold, the ticket lobby seven fold, the cab
stand capacity twelve fold. There will
be two track levels, one for expresses,
the other for suburban traffic, and hence
| two waiting-rooms, one above the other.
The suburban level will be the lower.
Of course the new station yard will
be two-decked. There will be sixty-hve
acres of tracks on the two levels, as
against twenty-three acres in the present
yards. Everything is being done on a
scale that would have astounded the
kings of transportation no more than a
decade ago, to say nothing of the chaps
who thought they were doing big things
quarter of a century ago.
Twenty-Five millions for the station,
and like sum will be spent for the
station yard and electrifcation of the
tracks for distance of fifty miles out
of New York. That is a wonder in it
self, and the new station will be the
first railroad station in the world not to
know the coal locomotive, unless the
railroad that is coming into Manhattan
under the Hudson river gets its new
improvements done first. Each railroad

expects to be doing business, new style,
in the last year of the present decade.
And some time next year Harlemites
will 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 viii have three
sisters spanning the East river at vary
ing distances to the north of it. One
the Williamsburg, mightier monument
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
A like sum is to be spent on the Man
haitian bridge, which is being erected
only few blocks away from the Brook
lyn bridge; and the third bridge, which,
by the way, will not be of the suspension
type, an island giving foundation for the
central piers, will take only four millions
less.
Thus, to complete the wonder of trans
portation in New York an aggregate sum
of 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
electrifcation 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
a billion dollars.
Wonderful-all wonderful Yet the
greatest wonder in connection with this
wonder of transportation is that men can
be found who will day after day work
doggedly, will push the under-river tun-
nels inch by inch to completion, all the
time knowing that the tons of water and
slime but a few feet, and often only a
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 Simplon tunnel un-
der the Alps, men who have burrowed
under Asia and Africa as well-the
sand hogs" of the universe-with nerves
steeled alike against the dread bends"
the treacherous rivers, the daily acci-
dents that frequently result in death and
permanent injury to companions To
them the bigger share of the glory for
the wonder of transportation-without
them engineers, masters of transporta-
ton, kings of finance, would be impotent
to carry out the plans that call for tun-
nels under river and city, here there
everywhere.
Behold, too, the wonder of the sky
scraper!

The engineers Of the road are now
working beyond Butte, Mont, seeking
the location of the extension which
will connect with Seattle.
The line when completed will be

Cities with the coast. II will be short
er and more direct than either of the
northern lines, and will be. when
completed, the most direct route con-
Meeting eastern points with the coast
cities.
The St Paul road will use its Hast

Paul as far as Glenham, S. d. From
there II will branch slightly northwest
cutting across the southwestern corner
of North Dakota. II will traverse the
northern portion of Custer county,

INDIANS NOT DYING OUT.
Agent at Pine Ridge Says Race Shows
Healthy Increase.

Maj John r. Brennan. Indian agent
at Pine Ridge. says that the report
that the Indians, as a nation. are dy-
ing out, is not true at Pine Ridge.
Mai. Brennan was in Deadwood in at
tendance at United States court. The
Indian population on Pine Ridge is
now 6,T27. an increase OF about 800
over the census Of four years ago. An
other fact which show that the In
dians, racially. are not becoming ex-
tinct, is that the greatest mortality by
far IL found among the infant popula-
ton. When Indian mothers learn to
care for their children, during infancy
and early childhood. the race will
then show a good increase. The belief
that tuberculosis is carrying off the
red men in great numbers is another
theory that Maj. Brennan does not
find borne out at his agency.
On Pine Ridge about 500 or 100
able-bodied Indians are dropped from
the ration list in the spring. and not
put on again until the winter makes IL
difficult for even an ahle-bodied Lo
TO keep soul and body together. OF
this number 500 or 600 are men. all Of
whom find work. and for the warm
season actually support the women
and children dependent upon them.
