MICHIGAN CENTRAL OPENS
NEW RIVER TUNNEL TODAY
work Has Been Four Years In Com
pletiOn md ia Tive and One
Fourth Miles In Length.

new era in the history or the Michigan
Central will begin with the opening Of
the Detroit river tunnel today, project
which has taken the road almost four years
to complete
The completed work Is two and a quarter
miles in length and wide enough for a
double track railway, with sidewalk on
each side of, the tracks. Electric lights
are TO be placed every three feet in the
tunnel, thus making 1t practically as light
as day, and with dividing railing to fore

block signals and electric connections pre-
vents any train from entering the tunnel
while another train is on the same track.
Each train will be hauled through by one
Of the new electric motors similar in plan
to the ones used In the New York tunnels
and only engines whose fires are dead Will
be allowed to pass through. One end Of
the tunnel is at Detroit and the other
entrance is situated at Windsor.
The construction of the work cost the
road over s10OO0,00o but the officials con-
slider that they will be amply repaid. 1t
win shorten their line into Chicago from
New York by forty minutes and will make
possible for them the running of a sixteen
hour train. Also there will be no more

OF ice blockading the river.
@. X. Willebrand, agent of the Michigan
Central and New York Central lines in
Omaha, made an inspection OF the tunnel
the last time he was east.
1T is undoubtedly one of the greatest
engineering feats of modern times and is
one of the finest works Of It's kind in the
world. The difficulties that the engineers
surmounted In the building would fill an
interesting book.
For instance, the quicksand In the river
was very bad in several places. The huge
tubes which were to form the walls OF the
tunnel were cased In a cement constitute ton
and then the section of the tunnel let down

day says: s
Developments OF the week have been
sgely favorable, including as they have

tailers at most markets, more cheerful re-
ports from branches OF the iron and steel

number OF idle cars and a shading of prices
of leading farm prouucts, que to better
crop reports and larger movement, leading
to the hope of resumption OF export tradt,
In financial circles there is little apparent
gain in activity of strength owing largely
to a continuance of political activity the
rapid reduction of money supplies at the
countrys banking center, and the fear of
pinch in supplies later, with possible effect
upon rates
The enlargement in jobbing and retail
