In these days Of miracle-workinR en-
gineering when man does not hesitate
TO chanRe the face OF continents and
make rivers run up stream, it is the
mountains that offer natures last de-
lance. Now, at last, they are being
conquered and set to work 10 help in
their w undoiDR.
AL the world Of railroad men hates a
mountain and especially a range Of
mountains. II is & formidable obstacle
to transportation when it stands across
the right Of way. The steel haul up the
mouuta,pside cuts the heart out Of profits
or diver,s traffic or both. Other things
being equal, the battle is TO the railroad
with the easiest grades.

three or four locomotives pull pantIngly

mountains, 1000 feet above sea level.
1t Is a spectacle TO mako a railroad

Now all this is to be changed. IL the
Sierra Nevada mountains wall continue
to stand in the way, they must cense to
be hostile. They must go to work and
themselves haul these freight tralrs TO
their own submits.
This sebming reversal of natural laws
the mountains will accomplish through
tho everlasting snowH that cap their
summits. The little mountain streams
flowing down from the melting snow
furnish Unlimited power. Converted to

While the initial cost OF this work will
be enormous, the engineers are con

permanent saving to make it pay, a

With steam a large an ouut OF power

With electricity It will no longer DO
