ENGINEERS HAVE
NOW OVERCOME A
STIFF OBSTACLE
Panhandle Engineers win
Eliminate Quick Sand by
Freezing 1t, Then Cutting
It Into Blocks.
A FREEZING MACHINE
HAS BEEN SECURED
Thirty Years Ago the Company
Failed to Reduce Jackson's
Hill Grade Because of Diff
ficuIt Problem.

BY freezing the quick sand at the
base Of Jackson's Hill, on the Penn
sylvania railroad, engineers claim that
they have solved a problem which
confronted the engineers Of the com
pany thirty years ago and prevented
them from cutting down this grade al
that time. Regular ice-making mach
inery will be installed on the ground
land the quick sand frozen and then
removed by cutting it in blocks, the
same as ice is harvested. The quick
sand will then be hauled away and
dumped
There are a number of springs at
the base of Jackson's hill which have
no natural outlet. The ground could
not be successfully drained As a re.
suit the ground, which is naturally of
a gravel nature. became covered with
quick sand. 1t could not be removed,
neither could a grade be made on such
an insecure basis. About thirty years
ago the company ordered its best en-
gineers to go to work on the job with
the idea in view Of cutting down the
grade, which is one of the worst in the
entire system. All the ability possess
ed by the engineers awaited nothing
and the scheme was abandoned.
Old Problem Again.
Now that the company is again fol-
lowing a reconstructive policy and is
preparing to double track it's system
and reduce the grade to a minimum,
the old problem came up. Engineers
announced that by installing an ice
plant, the sand could be frozen and
while in such condition cut in blocks
and removed. The plant has not as
yet been placed on the grounds. Tow
ever when it is, it is expected a large
number of persons will visit the place
daily to witness this novel way of cir
cumventing natures obstacles.
Another Suit Filed.
Another suit fSr the appropriation
OF real estate in order to widen it's
right of way has been filed in the cir
cult court by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company. The defendants in the
case include Robert and Retta L. Hart
man and BENJAMIN Sourbeer, all resi-
dents of Jackson township. The
amount of land owned by the defen-
dants, which the company wants ap-
praised, is approximately one and
third acres. Four other similar suits
were filed by the company last week.
