PROPOSES 4 AEH
TUNNEL

flow out, and thus avoid pumping,
there is no reason why the work
should not be prosecuted at record
speed and record economy of cost
The magnitude of the work would
not be so unprecedented as at first
sight appears. The Mont Gents, st.
Gothard and Simplon tunnels under
the Alps have an aggregate length of
nearly 80 miles, and it is believed
that the physical difficulties were
greater there than would be encoun-
tered in the proposed Cascade tun-
mel. Far more difficult work and at
far greater aggregate cost has been
done in numerous instances in carry
ing railroads under rivers.
AS joint undertaking, the ques-
ton of cost in it's relation to result
ing benefits, which must control. In
other words, it is a financial prob
lem, and as such its practicability
must be determined am aware that
for me to argue this feature of the
subject before an audience of finan-
ciers and practical business men is
like layman discussing war in the
presence of Hannibal; but there is
one feature of the subject which /
will venture to suggest for what it is
worth. While it would be wholly out
of the question for any one railroad
to handle such a project by itself, it
might be entirely feasible for all act
ing together. Let us suppose that all
the railroads seeking access to Puget
Sound were to form a terminal rail-
way association, like that of railways
entering the city of st. Louis, for the
purpose of jointly overcoming obsta-
cles to such access which are too
great for any one road to overcome
singly. In that case the cost to each
might fall within a figure that would
make it financially practicable pro-
position. Such a combination does
not seem to present features of any
greater difficulty than certain others
which we have recently seen car
ried to successful conclusion in this
part of the country.
Cost Uot Prohibitive.
AS pointed out above, all the rail-
roads will cross the Columbia with
in certain definite limits. In view
of the great developments now 60
ing on in that valley these roads will
all sooner or later want access to
its more important points such as
Hanford and Wenatchee. The joint
project need not, therefore, begin
further east than Wenatchee and it
would extend west to Seattle, about
123 miles. At 100000 per mile

POLITICS AND PoLITIC1ANs


Attorney General Wickersham,
Gov. A. o. Eberhart of Minnesota
and Judge Emory Spear, the well
known Georgia orator, will be the
chief speakers at the Appomattox
day banquet in Chicago on April 9
Representative Henry D. Clayton,
of Alabama, has been selected to pre-
side at the big Jefferson day banquet
to be given in Washington next
month
1t is said that the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad, which
exerts a strong influence in Connec-
ticut politics, may push former Gov
ernor Mclean for the seat of United
States Senator Bulkeley, whose term
is about to expire.
Only 13 states have regular
legislative session this year. The
income tax amendment is according
ly not likely to make much progress
Of these ten legislatures are now in
session, but several with time limits
which will soon bring them to
close. The Louisiana legislature
Georgia on June %, and that of Yer
mont early in October.
Leroy Percy, the new United
States senator from Mississippi, has
never before held public Office,
though he has taken an. active part
in the politics OF his state for a.
number of years. He is a native of
Mississippi and is now in his 50th
year. After graduating from the
University of the South he took al
post graduate course at Princeton
university and studied law at the
University of Virginia.
Newspaper men are unusually
prominent in the present member
ship of the national democratic COM
mittee. Chairman Norman E. Mack,
Secretary Trey Woodson and Treas
urer Herman Ridder all conduct
newspapers. Other members of the
committee who are newspaper pub
fishers include Clark Howell of Geor-
gia. r. NJ Johnston of Texas, Jose
plus Daniel of North Carolina and
Robert Ewing of Louisiana.

announced by the president of the
Milwaukee, which already crosses
the lower end of Grant county, that
his road will be extended to Moses
lake, and wise ones predict that the
Milwaukee will go farther and tap
the famous wheat fields of the Big
Bend empire. The Great Northern
has not lost sight of the possibilities.
This road has run surveys from the
main line somewhere east of Ephra-
ia to Moses lake, thence along the
north shore for some distance, thence
on the south side and thence to Bev-
erly, bisecting the famous Quincy
valley flats. The North Coast rail-
way has also recently filed a right
of way through Grant county along
the east bank of the Columbia. Thus
this little empire of Grant county,
parts of which have heretofore been
as remote as 40 miles from a rail-
way, will soon be covered by a net
work of rails. !
The litigation involving over 1000
acres of government land, which it
is alleged the McConihie Moses Lake
Irrigation company has been trying
to obtain through conspiracy with
nonresident entrymen to defraud the
government, will not retard any of
the present bona fide irrigation pro-
jects. Sensational developments
await the rigid inspection of these
cases by secret service agents of the
United States who are now in the
field, but this should in no wise af-
feet the progress of the Hollister-
Pettigrew project. A right of way
can easily be obtained for bitches
over government land and the COM
pany can easily deal with the entry
men without evading the laws of the
United States. At any rate the gov
eminent land involved in litigation
is small compared to the total land
which will be irrigated. All signs
point hopefully in Grant county. !

for the 80 miles OF open country,
with $1,000. 900 per mile for the 80
miles of tunnel. the whole cost might |
fall within about $4,000, 900. Sup
pose that. the association were to
include the Canadian Pacific, the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
Burlington, Milwaukee, North Coast
(whatever that may be), the Union
Pacific, and, by looking forward, the
Northwestern and the road projected
from Denver to Seattle-nine roads
in all. Would this safe, unobstruct-
ible and low grade route be worth
to each the four or five millions that
it would cost? While precise figures
are not available. it is not at all un-
likely that, if the facts could be
known, the losses and extra cost
from all causes on the mountain d.
visions of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific in the past four
years, all of which would have been
saved by the proposed project. would
amount to 20 per cent of it's entire
estimated cost.
State and Government Aid.
That the state of Washington and
local communities directly benefited
should help in a work which would
mean so much to them admits of no
question. That the government
would aid, as suggested in the
pamphlet, is not likely. 1t ought to,
for it would be benefited in all Of
it's immense traffic to and from Pu-
get Sound and in the value of its
great timber property on this coast;
but the system Of government aid
has fallen into disuse and it would
be difficult to revive it, even in so
important and extraordinary a case
as this. But with the state and To-
cal interests it Is different, and It'll
ought to be possible to raise from
these sources at least 100000, 900,
thus reducing by one-fourth the
above estimated cost to the cooper
ating roads.
One argument for state aid which
Is elaborated to some extent in the
pamphlet, is the use Of the tunnel
for highway traffic. The scheme out
lined may seem fanciful and I will
argue it no further than to ask
those who read the pamphlet to con-
slider it fairly before rejecting it as
impracticable. That the interurban|
electric railway system of the Sound
country would take advantage of
such an opportunity to reach the Col
umbia valley could be counted on
as certain.
Saving of Time.
Such a tunnel would, in addition
to eliminating the great cost and
other drawbacks of the transmoun-
tain climb, shorten passenger time
between Seattle and Spokane on the
Il
average, considering the mountain
delays under present conditions, by
at least six hours. All distances by
the Union Pacific from Seattle to the
southeast would be shortened 1907
miles. All east and west traficI
would be saved a vertical lift of 3-5
of a mile, and that via the Canadian
Pacific by a full mile. !
The tunnel would accommodate |
the combined traffic of all the roads
even at times like the present when
all Of 1t would have to pass that
way. The roads would diverge i'm
mediately from each end, while the
straight tunnel stretch, free from all
the dangers that beset outside lines
and without stations or stops of any
kind, could take care of more traf-
fic than would ever be likely to
use it.

it now stands out as one of the finest
character inps rsonations on the Amer
lean stage. They play is written in
MI AIDES most humorous vein and is
not only full of clever humor. bright
dialogue and rich satire, but the story
is OF more than ordinary interest. 1t
strikes home and in humorous man
ner lesson is taught although at no
time does the dramatist allow himself
to preach to his auditors.
The story deals with a man who has
toiled all his life to amass a fortune
and build up a business for his two
sons. only 20 find that he has fallen
behind the procession, because of his
grip on them. In order to bring the
boys to their senses the old gentleman
cuts loose and not only marches
abreast of them but is soon in the lead.
The boys are forced to look after their
fathers neglected business while he in
the meanwhile has the one great time
of his life.
Mr.. Crane. as the wool broker, is said
to be at his choicest as a. character
comedian OF ripe and subtly humorous
methods. His Norwood is one of the
most natural Representations he has
given the stage in many years. With
the touch of the artist he builds up the
character, showing first the broker dot
ing on his boys, who are all the world
to him, but regretful they exhibit 40
ulSpOSlIlOu TO take lie more Y.
Then he cuts loose and the art of the
comedian is revealed in the drolleries
that are delightful and laughter COM
polling. And in the few moments Of
pathos the part contains Mr.. Crane ar
rests laughter in a jiffy and makes his
sentiment seem real.
The company is d strong one with
Margaret Dale as leading woman and
with such other well known people as
