break through the Unaka mountains
is reached, where there is five miles
Of very heavy work and much beauti'
full and wonderful scenery.
Continuing on through to Johnson
City and on to Kingsport, Tenn, the
route lays through a country com
posed of hills of red clay and lime
stone and some fine quality Of gray
and brownish marble rock. While
there are no tunels on this part of the
line, the expense of grading was
nevertheless enormous. Great deer
cuts and fills, cuts, some of which
run well toward half mile in length
and fills that the enormous are all
along this section of the line. North
ward from Kingsport the work was
moderately expensive until the Clinch
mountain was reached and a tunnel
1880 feet in length, exactly 1000 feet
less than one mile, was bored through
some of the hardest rock ever en-
countered. 1t took day and night
shifts just three years to bore this
tunnel.
Proceeding northward through a
series of tunnels and over gigantic
fills the road skirts the limestone
bluffs of Clinch River for distance
of over five miles is hewn bodily out
Of these bluffs all the way at a tre-
'mendous expense.
Continuing on northward along the
valley of the Clinch to St Paul, Va,
thence up the Lick creek to Dante
Va, the grade work was of more or
binary character. But the Sandy
Ridge now stood across the path and
an 5000 foot tunnel was necessary TO
get through to the waters Of Mcclure
creek, tributary of Big Sandy river.
This tunnel, just about one and one
half miles long, was the last to be
completed. On northward, down Me

thirty-seven tunnels in tliirty-nine
miles, 1.-The last great piece of work

great rocky gorge which forms the

revived again. This time English
capitalists took the stock and bonds
to a considerable extent. 1t was then
called the three Charleston, Gin
cinnati and Chicago. Considerable
grading was done and some track laid
in different places A. line called the
Chattarawa Ry,, was extended up the
Big Sandy for some distance from its
mouth, and while this was under a
different name it was part of the same
project and its paper was held by the
same interests
The whole project fell with crash
in 1890. and the pieces of track were
subsequently purchased by other roads
except the. twelve wiles out of john
son City, Tenn. This eked out a pre-
carious existance until after 1900,
when Mr. George L. Carter carried
through successfully the organization
and financing line from Dante to
Spartansburg, S. c., and this little
piece of dilapidated track became a
part of the line. This was a colossal
project but it was completed in 1908.
After a breathing spell of four years,
(1912) the extention from Dante, Va,
to Elkhorn City, KY, was begun. The
Chesapeake and Ohio had already
reached Elkhorn City from the north
in 1905, so, when the last rail is laid
in the great Sandy Ridge tunnel,
(Which we, the editor of the Moon
understands will be on or about Sep
tember 1st, 1910 the dream of more
than three-fonrths of century will
have been realized. Not all under one
name and management 1t is true, but
there will be lines of steel all the way
from the Ohio river across and
through the mighty ranges of the APP
palachian mountains to Charleston by
the sea.
1t has been a long time but it was
a stupendous project, and when final
lily done, it will have been right Per-
haps it was just as well that it await
ed the times and the men who had
hearts for such a task. The difficult
ties in getting through the Blue Ridge
Mountains in North Carolina and San
dy Ridge at Dante, Va, were too much
for the men and times of the long ago
Had they undertaken and accomplish
ed it, the probability is that the job
would have been poorly executed. But
done as it has been, it will forever re-
main a monument of this great age
of great feats, standing ahead of Mr.
Rogers four hundred miles of Virgin
ian railroad and in close rank with
Mr.. Flagler's "Oyer Sea- road between
Miami and Key West, Florida.
Coming north from Spartansburg,
the first difficulty encountered was the
greatest on the whole line. The 20
mile climb to the top of. the Blue
Ridge mountains through sharp ridges
and around mountain sides, across
deep gorges through nineteen tunnels
and up, up, very gradually all the way,
then through another tunnel at the
top and the track turns down Toe ri
yer running northward. The greatest
trouble with construction on the south
slope of the Blue Ridge were that
both stone and sand sand contained
mica, which rendered unfit for con-
crete work. So both these materials
had to be brought from distance and
as there was no way by which to bring
them and vet they must be had in
enormous quantities, it was slow
and tedious job.

EFFECTS OF EDUCATION.

LSEWHERE in this issue will be found a
- communication from "W. Orkingman" anent
the question Of education and it's effect up
on immigration to the United States which, while
showing thought, savors somewhat of pessmism
IN the deductions formed, according to our way of
looking at the question. Our contributor and the
authority he quotes seem to be fearful of the eff
fects OF education, which they assume saps the
possessor of the inclination to do hard work An
education which teaches Incidence and a repug-
nance for labor is not education-it is the narrow
est sort of one-sided training and if there are
schools engaged in promulgatng this brand of
education(O we cheerfully agree with our con-
tributor that they should be curtailed or eradi-
Gated.
But true education, such for illustration as is
taught in the B. A. c. at this place. not only makes
man more cultured and better equipped to pro-
tect himself against the commercial sharks of our
modern society, but also makes him more val
liable and useful worker in any line in which his
lot may be cast.
AS matter of fact, education is not to blame
for the conditions referred to by our correspond
ent in the majority of cases. Education is mere
ly made the avenue or the refuge by which the
individual seeks to avoid work which was irksome
or repugnant before he sought relief by educa
ton. Nor is the individual altogether to blame.

SAINT GEORGE FAVORABLE TO CHANGE.

~ the last weeks issue of the Washington
County News, there is no objection on the
part of st. George people to the mail for that
ton and the eastern portion of Washington coun-
ty coming via Lund and Cedar City, so long as the
present service connecting Enterprise, Pine Val
ley, Pinto, Central and Gunlock with the county
seat is not abolished. In the news editorial which
is appended hereto, mention is made of objection
on the part of some to this route on the grounds
that the road is not entirely finished and some of
the culverts are yet to be put in At the same
time the News says that this work will probably
be finished before the state convicts leave Wash
ington county. This will probably not be later
than May, and as the change of route would not
naturally be made until the first of July when the
new contracts go into force this could scarcely be
urged as an objection.
The ST. George papers editorial was as fol-
lows:
"Our Hurricane correspondent recently wrote
that representative of the Commercial club of
that town had interviewed the u s. mail inspector
who was here recently regarding the poor mail
service given Hurricane and that the inspector
said he would recommend that all of the Dixie
mail be sent via Lund and Cedar City.
Hurricane has most wretched mail service
and the people here generally hope ,-er iorts for
betterment of the service my We successful.

present route connecting Enterprise Pine Valley
Pinto, Central and Gunlock with the county seat
is not abolished and that the mail coming Wis
Lund to this city reaches its destination at least
as expeditiously as on the present route
The feeling seems to be strong that one part OF
the county should not be sacrificed to serve anoth
er part and for this reason it is desired that En-
terprise and other settlements mentioned be kept
in touch with the county seat as at present
There seems to be little doubt that when the
state road is finished it will be Dxe's main trav.
eled road and that the mail will naturally come
that way. Just now objection is raised by some
owing to the unfinished condition of the road, es
pecially near Harrisburg and the absence of cul-
verts on the finished portion. To what extent
this would interfere with mail service we are not
now prepared to say-that work will probably be
finished before the force now at work on the road
quits.
If changes are to be made in mail routes il
is strongly to be desired that they be for the best
good of the county as whole, and this is the
end that all should work to-"
