Since the New York public service
commission began advertising for bids
for the construction of the tri- borough
subway many persons have realized
the magnitude of the undertaking.
From an engineering point Of view
alone it will be th<greatest work of
the kind ever attempted. When COM
pleted it will be twice the size of the
present marlborough system and will
cost about $350O0,000.
The route will extend from Fort

Bronx to Woodlawn on it's western
branch and to Pelham Bay Park. on
Long Island sound, on its eastern
branch-forty-fou miles in all. EN-
bracing 1873 miles of single track The
existing subway is about twenty We
miles long with about seventy miles of
track.
Excavation Work Enormous.
The ell ineers have figured that
> there will nr excavated 9.15SOOO cubic
yards of eartn and rock. In the pres
ent subway the total excavation was
4.1O4,OO0 cubic yards. The concrete to
be used is estimated at 1.S65. 900 cubic
yards against 10000 cubic yards in
the present subway. 1t will need 203.-
600 tons of steel and iron against l25.-
600 tons in the present subway
The excavated material. If piled upon
lot 100 feet square. would be 900 feet
high. nearly twice the height of the
Washington monument
The concrete would make a monu-
ment 1S6 feet high. and the iron and
steel would make cube of steel about
sixty-seven feet square. 1t would
make enough steel rails TO lay rail-
road line from New York to Santa Fe.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1910.

Why do not all men of intelligence
learn to think and act for themselves
in politics and religion? AS long as
they follow others they will be the
victims of the selishness of their
leaders. There are very few men who
do not take advantage of their control
of others to secure unfair advantages
for themselves. No unselfish man
wishes to control another; he wishes
to be free himself and to see all other
men enjoying the same privileges. AS
long as men have power over others
most of them will abuse 1t to greater
or less extent. The degree Of freedom
enjoyed by any people depends on
their virtue and Intelligence. 1t is
therefore, impossible for an Ignorant
or vicious people to be free.

UNION HILL.

We are admonished by the Bible to
rejoice with those who rejoice and
weep with those who weep and at the
Hill this week we nave had cause for
both weeping and rejoicing. We weep
and are sad because God has seen mt
to take one from among us to dwell
with Him. Mrs. Mamie Carson, wife
OF our neighbor, N. +. Carson, departed
this life on Saturday morning, October
20 after an illness of several days
with that dread disease pneumonia.
She was member of the Freewill
Baptist church and a worker in the
church and league. Her presence VIII

chair will be vacant. She had fought
good fight; she had kept the faith,
and is now at rest. To her bereaved
husband it is a consolation to know
that she dwells with God and that II
he and the loved ones left behind keep
the faith as she did we viii meet her
again and shall know her on the other
shore. She has gone on and is beekon-
ing the loved ones to come. She left
quite family of children and grand
children whom she tried to train in
the paths they should go, believing
that If You train child In the paths
of honor, peace. virtue Nand good re-
mort, when they are old they will not
depart therefrom. We all miss Sister
Carson, but bless God, we can so to
her, though she can not come 10 US;
and may each of us so live that In the
end we may meet her in heaven,
where all is peace and JOY with no
main. no sickness, no death, no sorrow
nor parting. We rejoice that we have
one more jewel in the kingdom OF God.
Union Hill has had two marriages.
