RLANS BIG TUNNEL
UNDER THE CHANNEL
Frenchman Believes Project
VIII Be Done i'm ) Years.

PARIS, Sept. 27-M. Sartiaux, chief
engineer 10 the Northern of France
Railway has expressed the opinion
that within five years at the most the
long-projected Channel tunnel will be
an accomplished fact, and that 1t viii
be inaugurated by King George and
President Poncaire shaking hands in
the center of the tunnel.
The tunnel" said NJ. Sartiaux.

ney at 6 p. m. or p. m. he would

APART from the great increase
which is sure to follow in passenger
traffic, trade between the two coun-
tries would receive an enormous i'm
petus.
Official Customs returns show that
during the period from 1904 to 1911,
there was an increase of 80 per cent
In the value of Anglo-French trade,
while their increase between France
and Germany has grown by so per
cent.
Even with the very improbable as
sumption that Anglo-French relations
should at some future time lose their
cordial chara cter. the plans for the
tunnel have been conceived in such
a manner that British guns could in
stantly destroy the viaducts which
have been designed by French engi-
neers Besides. the trains would run
by means of electricity, and nothing
would be easier than to cut the ca
bles.
In any circumstances. the tunnel
would be found most useful medium
of defense by Great Britain.
THE cost of the tunnel, which
would have to be constructed at
depth of about $50 feet beneath the
surface, would amount to about
$50, 10000 which would be speedily
subscribed by the Nord and other
companies, convinced as they all are
of the financial success Of the under
taking"

says the London Graphic, as the oldest

there is every reason TO believe that

BULGARIAN WAR
HURTS ROSE TRADE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-"The
war in the Balkans is likely to have a
more intimate effect upon the women
of America and Europe than one
would believe at this time" remarked
Henrik Scaliger, a rose grower of
Boskoop, Holland, at the Raleigh.
Women must use perfume and eX-
tracts from flowers for the toilet and
not few men sometimes make use of
toilet waters.
Bulgaria has been for number of
years the chief producer of roses for
commercial purposes. The industry
has been ruined by the late wars"

Mummies Make Paint.

Mummies are usually preserved in
the finest bitumen, and this ancient
bitumen has, in the course of centu-
ries, turned the mummies a leathery
brown tint. 1t has been found that
when the bitumen and the shreds of
mummy are ground down by machin-
cry, a beautiful brown pigment is the
result, exactly the tint required for
painting certain shades of brown hair.

QUITS THE SHEEP BUSINESS
Owing to Tariff Changes and High Taxes
Clifford Bros. Sell Out

Tonopah Bonanza: Edward Clifford
ST., n of the pioneers of Tonopah
and Nye County, has decided to aban-
don the sheep business, owing to the
low price of wool and the heavy fixed
charges attached to that industry.
Wednesday morning he closed the
sale of his entire band that has ranged
in the eastern end of this county for
the last ten years and will look around
for a better investment. He may
take up beef, as he has water rights
and owns a large acreage of range
land that al be employed to advan-
tage incattle. e..
Joseph Giraud of Reno, who owns
large focks in the northern country,
closed a deal by which he acquires
title to the entire holdings of Mr.
Clifford, estimated to be 1000 head
of sheep. These will be moved to
Mineral County. The price paid for
the flock was not given out.
Mr.. Clifford said the small margin
in the wool business was wiped out
by the tariff and other overhead
charges and he had concluded the
hazard was too great to continue.
Last Summer he shipped his wool to
Boston at a cost of 1922 a hundred,
the price of shearing was 10 cents a
head, compared with 6 cents on the
main line of the Southern Pacific, and
the forest reserve department
charged s cents a head for two
months feeding on a range that was
formerly open to all woolgrowers.
Then the tax commission had raised
the listing of sheep to the actual
number, including lambs, until there
vas nothing remaining for the man
with his money in the industry.
