STEEL RAILS IN DISPUTE.
Interstate Commerce Commission
VIII Take n Hand.

The block signal and train control board
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission
has reached the conclusion that II has
Jurisdiction 10 investigate the composition
OF steel rails and report upon Just what
kind OF rails railroads engaged In inter
state commerce shall be required 10 use.
There Is now IN prospect a three-cor-
nered fight among the makers or steel
rails, the railroads. and the block signal
and train control board.
Railroad engineers have contended thar
the quality OF steel rails furnished were
responsible for many wrecks. They claim
the steel furnished Is OF such character
that heat and cold make a wide differ
ence. causing ii 70 be brittle and Dos
sessing other undesirable qualities, The
steel companies. however, have protested
that the steel rails turned out at the
present time by the best processes cannot
be improved. A branch Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission has stepped
in and shown an interest IN the contro-
versy.
The investigation thus far made BY the
block signal and train control board has
shown that several Of the largest railroad
systems are experimenting with a steel
rail treated by new process. The New
York Central has had milled and installed
on its rOadbed leading into the Grand
Central Station. IN New York, particu-
larly on curves. about 5000 tons Of these

HEADING MEETS IN TUNNEL.
Great Engineering Feat Is Accom-
pIished in Western Colorado.

Great Engineering Feat Il Accom-
pIished in Western Colorado.
According 10 a telegram 10 the United
States Reclamation Service. the headings
met yesterday IN the great Gunnison tun-
mel. which the government IS building n
Western Colorado. The tunnel is intended
20 carry the waters Of the Gunnison River
through a mountain range into the IN
compahgre Valley, where they VIII be
used for irrigation This tunnel is The
largest underground waterway IN the
world. IL is six miles long. has a finished
cross section Of 10iz by liz feet. and wiz
carry 1900 cubic feet Of water per second.
Il VIII be cement lined throughout. and
viii cost more than S2500.o00.
Preliminary work on this undertaken 4
was difficult and spectacular, for the
Gunnison River flows at the bottom OF a
canyon 1000 feet deep. with almost per
pendicular walls, and the surveys for the
tunnel heading required both heroism and
engineering skill. Actual work on the
tunnel was preceded by the construction
OF a road down the canyon walls. over
which supplies and heavy machinery could
be carried. For four years crews OF men
have been boring into the granite noun
tain from both ends OF the tunnel. They
have encountered all sorts OF discourage
ments, gas, cave-ins hot and cold water,
running sand and treacherous~ material
which required careful timbering IN order
10 protect the workmen. but the work has
gOnO on steadily day and night.
