 When the Hudson tunnel system is thrown open to the public the stupen- dousness of the task. the comprehen- siveness of the plan of construction, the difficulties of the pr -blems in- volved and the completeness of their solution will be impressive. These un- derground structures are not suscep- tible of change or enlargement after they are put into operation, and a gen. erous provision must be made for the needs of the future. That this has been done and the problem handled in an unusually broad minded way Is due to the able men who compose the di- rectorate of the tunnel company.
 More than 120,000.000 people now cross the Hudson river each year With better means of transportation the number will in a few years, reach 20o,000.000. To properly care for this large traffic is just as important tc Manhattan Island as to provide for the traffic on the island itself.
 New York's greatness comes from its accessibility to railroads from al parts of America and steamships iron all parts of the world. Whatever in- creases her accessibility and lessens the discomforts and inconveniences ot transportation Is of benefit to her peo. pie and to her commerce.
 To take care of this huge trafac is the problem the tunnel company is trying to solve with its four tunnels under the Hudson and its provision for an uptown and downtown service It is a more difficult and costly work than the New York city subway and far more complicated. but when it is fully completed and in operation we river problem satisfactorily for many years to come and reflect credit on the great metropolis 1t is intended tc serve.

THE COEUR D'ALENE LANDS.
Protracted Surveys and Engineering
Problems Will Delay Opening

Information that is thought to be
reliable has been obtained at the in
terror department that the Occur
d'Alene Indian reservation would not
be opened this year. 1t was stated by
an official who has intimate knowledge
or the facts that it would be impossible
to complete the preliminary arrange
ments, owing to the large quantity of
work yet to be done on the surveys
and other engineering phases, and that
the opening must perforce go over to
1908.
1t is understood that this is the gen.
eral belief among land Office officials,
Notwithstanding it has been stated all
along that the opening would be in a
short time.
1t is said people who await the open
ing with the expectation of getting
home locations in 1907 will be disap-
pointed.

TRAINMEN SIGN AGREEMENT.
Controversy Between Western Roads
and Employees Settled.

Chicago-The general agreement
which was reached between western
railroads and their employees in the
train service, through the mediation
of Commissioners Knapp and Neill,
has been signed, and the committee
members, who have been in almost
continuous session here for three
months, left for their homes. The
Brotherhood of Firemen, which has
been negotiating for practically the
same demands as the trainmen and
conductors, have about reached an
agreement with the roads. 1t is the
general belief that the firemen will be
granted the same concessions as the
conductors and trainmen.
Terms of the Agreement.
The agreement which goes into eff
feet dating from April l follows:
The pay of conductors in the pas
senger service to be increased $40
per month; that of baggagemen $3.50,
and that of fiagmen and brakemen
$3.50 per month as applied to the
schedules in effect November 1, 1906.
The railroads are not to make any
reductions in crews or increase in
mileage for the purpose of offsetting
the increased wages given the passen-
ger trainmen.
Overtime in the passenger service is
to be allowed on the basis of 10 miles
per hour, to be computed for each part
Of the run separately. Time is to be-
gin at the scheduled time of leaving.
Roads on a basis of more than 1O
hours per day for a helper or con
struction train service are to make nc
increase in the rates paid for such
service.
The increases granted in the aggre
gate are to apply also to rates of spec
ial services specified in the individual
schedule.
Upon roads having better basis
for a days work, or for payment Of
! oy ertime or other allowances in al
branches of train service, the accep
lance of this agreement is not to act
as a reduction.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen was also granted by the rail
roads an increase of 10 per cent.
