The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1913-04-11

Senator Odell believes that his free
text book bill which passed the SEN
ate, stands an excellent chance in the
house. The bill as II passed the sen.
ate requires school districts to furnish
free text books in the schools up to
and including the eight grade, and may
furnish them for the high school
courses. Provision is made for the
people of the district to vote on the
proposition of supplying free text
books In the higher grades.
Senator Kings BILL which is COM
panion to the Odell bill, requires all
text book publishers TO file samples OF
their books with the state superlnten-
dent Of public instruction and file a
bond with the state treasurer that they
will sell their books at as low prices in
Michigan as they are sold elsewhere in
the United States.

The bill introduced by Senator King
which is intended as companion to
the Odell free text book bill. has been
passed by the senate. The King bill
requires publishers who sell books in
Michigan to give bond that they will
sell them as cheap here as they do In
other states. Senator Straight opposed
the bill, claiming 1t was not practical.
Senator Odell who pushed the free
text book bill through the senate,
says he will ask the house committee
on education to report out his bill at
once.

The clergyman should be adored
at distance. He is but human, and
a nearer relationship often furnishes
too close a view of his purely human
failings. Like the author and artist,
when married he is a stay-at-home
husband, and even the housemaid
loses respect for the man who is
turned out of the dining room in
order that the breakfast table may
be cleared, and is at the mercy Of
every domestic inconvenience. He
forfeits the mystery and unfamiliar

The New Alpine Tunnel.

The opening of the new tunnel under
the Alps, which. as a continuation oil
the Simplon route, makes Switzerland
more accessible to tourist travel. is the
great event in the Swiss republic this
summer This new tunnel passes under
the Letschberg or Letschen Pass i'll the
Bernese Alps. The project for con-
strueting this tunnel had long been UNI
der consideration. when in June, 1906,
it was finally adopted by the Grand
Council of Berna Canton. which took
a prominent part in financing the I'M
dertaking. At first the plan called only
for single track tunnel, but in 1907
the Swiss Parliament granted the Ber-
nese Alpine Railway subsidy Of 6,oo0,-
900 francs on condition that the tunnel
and its approaches were prepared for
Il double-tr&ck railway. Work was
started i'll October. 1906, and progress
WAS rapid for ten months, when opera
tions were stopped by an unfortunate
accident A dynamite charge had OPEN
ed cleft containing sand. gravel ana
water with the result that 250,000 cubic
feet of debris burst into the heading.
filled it for nearly a mile ana killed
twenty-five laborers. Work had to be
discontinued for some time, and when
it was resumed the excavations were
made in slightly different direction.
Boring was continued vigorously at
both ends. and on March 81. 1911. the
two headings met almost exactly in the
Eliddle. Each of the working parties
had been able to hear the detonationS
of the explosives used by the other for
almost three months. The work is one
of the most difficult pieces OF railway
engineering in recent years. On the
north side of the tunnel, in a distance
of less than eight miles, the line. has
tn climb 1885 feet. has an elaborate
double loop and Il ''corkscrew" tunnel
over Il mile long. On the south side
the engineers had to face almost the
same difficulties. The new line pro-
Nides with the Simplon tunnel sub
stantially straight route through Switz-
erland to Italy. 1t will open not only
q new era in Swiss tourist travel but
will mark a large development in the
general traffic from the north to the
south of Europe.-Raltimore Star.
