TUNNEL UNDER THE LAKE.
Hartman Plans Gigantic Terminal
Project Near Chicago.

Chicago, April 25.-A railroad pro-
ject, involving the construction of a
four-track tunnel twenty-five miles
long, connecting what is to be the
largest port on the lakes at Gary,
Ind. and the subway system which E
H Hartman proposes TO bore be-
meath Chicago to connect all railroad
lines. came to light last night.
Not until the hackers of the project
realized that their last hope of OBJ
tanning a site for these deep-water
docks was about to be dealt a death
blow by the passage of the Park bill
in the legislature, did the promoters
of the counter project consent to re-
move the cloud of secrecy from their
maneuvers.
At Gary, Ind. the site of the works
of the United States Steel corporation,
the railroads and navigation com
panies, a freight and passenger ter
mtnaI eclipsing any port on the lakes
will be established From this ter
rninal which will be utilized as a
clearing house for east and westbound
lake and rail traffic, will be construct
ed a four-track tunnel beneath the
waters of Lake Michigan that Will
communicate with the projected Har-
riman subway at Twelfth street
Through the agency of this SUB ay
the tunnel will have access to the

Salina Milling Company Test
New Ashes Compound.
The Formula Proved Successful
Beyond All Expectations.
WORK OFATON OF COAL
Mixed 1900 Pounds of Ashes
With 500 Pounds of Slack.
The Fire Was Exceedingly Hot
and Combustion Excellent.

Salina, April 25.-L- G. GOttschick,
the engineer at the Lee-Warren Milling
company, has made a test of burning
ashes with the formula that was pup
Eshed a few days ago The formula
published did not give the dlnerent
quantities to be used. so Mr.. Colt
chicks experiment was partly original
He mixed up 1900 pounds of ashes,
500 pounds of slack coal, four ounces
of oxalic acid. two pounds OF salt and
six gallons of water. The formula was
thoroughly mixed and heaped in
pile near the engine room door The
ashes were put into the fire box at 2 Is
o'clock. and from all appearances the
fire boxes for three hours, thus doing
the same work of a ton of coal.
The fuel made an exceedingly hot
fire. equally as hot as coal. and the
combustion was excellent, and Mr..
Gottschfck is of the opinion that the
discovery will make a big saving in
the expense of fuel. The residue ap-
pears to be a cHnker forma ton, but is
much less in quantity than the fuel
So far as can be seen in the test the
experiment will be a great success.
W. C Fuller of this city made a light
test of the ash-burning experiment
Tuesday evening, but he said that it
sNras not great success. He intends
10 make another test on larger scale
in a short time
The formula as sent out from AL
toona, Pa, where the secret was dis
covered by cobbler is as follows:
Common salt, one pound; oxaIic acid
two ounces; water one gallon: mix and
moisten a mixture containing one part
coal and three parts ashes.

Directors Consider ACCESSIBILITY

WORK Is UNDER WAY.
Restrictive Legislation Said to

Other Items OF Interest to
Railway People.

Directors of the st. Paul railroad are
quoted as saying in New York that
while the company has not decided TO
abandon work on its Pacific coast ex-
tension, as reported, the matter is un-
der serious consideration. They fur
ther say that the company has no in
tention of turning the part of the
extension already built and the rights
of way on the remainder over to any
other railroad system, nor. as IS well
known, is it concerned about money,
the recent $100,000,O00 stock issue
having provided ample funds The
sole reason for considering the propo-
sition, the directors said. was the re-
Strictive legislation proposed in several
western states

wEED1NG OUT THE OLD CARS.
Through Traffic Delayed by Wooden
Equipment

instructions have been sent out
from the general offices OF many OF
the western railroads TO sort OUT an
old wooden freight cars that are nov
in use on the various divisions II Is
claimed that there are a large NUMBER
of these cars on certain lines thdt are
practically unfit for further use, and
thew will be destroyed Despite the
fact that there is shortage of freight
cars on every railroad, it is estimated
that many thousand cars Will De De

roads It is said that one of the big
roads alone destroyed 1U,UVO cars IdsI
sum
This year the officials will devote
more attention to repair Work ana
many of the cars that are unit Tor
transferred to the branch roads after
the necessary repairs are made. While
these cars are of the old type and
very small, they can be used to good
advantage on the smaller lines Wnere
the traffic is comparatively light The
cars that are worn out will be sent
to the shops. where the trucks will be
removed and the body burned
The railroads are making an effort
to get rid of their wooden freight cars
as quickly as possible and are now
using steel cars of much greater ca
pacity. Certain lines have sent agents
over the various divisions to deter
mine lust what cars are to be repaired
and which ones are to be burned. 1t
is figured that the repair work at the
various shops on the different divisions
is comparatively light at present, and
while some of the old cars will re-
quire vast amount of repair work,
the officials say they are compelled to
follow this course on account Of the
car shortage.
Car building concerns are behind in
making deliveries of new equipment
contracted for many months ago. and
many Of the cars that railroad officials
figured on placing in operation early
this spring will not be delivered for
several months yet Some of the or
ders have been Cancelled owing to the
failure of the builders to deliver them
or schedule time. It IS claimed that
the handling of the small cars is caus-
ing serious delay n the handling of
through traffic.

that the paper was not good
This don't look good to me-, said
Mr.. Palmer, and he laid the check
down on the corner of the counter and
walked TO the telephone to call Mr.
SheIIabarger up and ask him about the
check The man said he would go out
and get MT. Shella barger as he was
on the corner. Reed, as he has always
given his name to Mr.. Palmer left the
store and that is the last seen of him.
The officers were notified and an eff
fort was made to locate Reed, but it
was unsuccessful The man tried at
several places to have the check cash
ed, and finally succeeded at the Next

it is expected that hereafter traffic
will be moved with comparative ease
There probably will be some strain
