FIVE MILE Tunnel
Canadian Pacific Finishes the
Longest Hole in America.
1t Was Dug in Less Than Time
Allotted for Construction.
RAN PIONEER SHAFT FIRST
Construction Carried on at
Many Points on Line.
Cuts Out Curvature and Much
Dangerous Crooked Track.

The longest mountainous double
track railway tunnel in the western
hemisphere has just been completed
and put into operation on the Cana
dian Pacific railway, under Mount
Macdonald, one of the highest peaks
in the Selkirk range of the Rockies in
British Columbia. The tunnel is TWEEN
ty-nine feet wide, twenty-four feet
high, and five miles long. The maxi
mum depth of rock above it is 5,69O
feet. or more than mile.
Three and half years we're allotted
for the work, which would have pro-
vided for the completion of the tunnel
December 81, 1916, but extra haste
and improved methods were employed,
with the result that the advance head
ings met. December 19, 1915, and the
bore was rapidly rushed to compile
ton after that time
Hole Within Hole.
The extra speed was made possible
by the boring of an extra tunnel,
smaller than the main bore, and put
thru before the latter. The small tun-
mel, which is seven feet high by eight
feet wide, was made parallel to the
main tunnel, about fifty feet from it,
and carried all the water and air
pipes. both ventilating and working,
and tracks on which the material from
the main tunnel was carried to the
mouth of the tunnel
Cross-cuts were made from the small
bore to the line of the main tunnel
every 1900 feet, and in that manner
it was possible for the work in the
large bore to be carried on at a
large number of points at the same
time. Drifts in each direction from
each cross cut were made in the main
line tunnel, and in addition, work was
hurried from each portal at the same
time.
Aside from the fact that the 'pio-
neer" aft made possible continuous
working at all points IN the lain tun-
mel it will erve a permanent purpose
as a ventilating shaft for the main
tunnel Circula n of air will be Sc
cured thr the cross cuts into the
main tunnel. at the 1,5O0-foot inter-
walls.
For about 1,100 feet at each end the
tunnel was constructed thru clay and
Jig thru colid rock. When passing
thru the softer materials, the tunnel
was lined with concrete.
Shortens the Line.
The new tunnel reduces the eleva-
tion of the track thru Rogers Pass by
552 feet and cats out curvature to the
amount of seven complete circles. 1t
reduces the length of he line four
and a half miles and diSpe-S SeS with
four miles of snow sheds in thirteen
miles of track. 1t also eliminates the
use of two spiral loops on the western
slope of the mountains.
The maintenance of shops, a large
force of pusher engil es. plows, and
other equipment that have heretofore
been stationed at Rogers Pass has
been made unnecessary by the tunnel

U-BOAT LETS HIM GO
Lucky for You Your Ship Is Ameri-
can," Says German Captain.

Havre, Dec. 27.-Captain Platter, of
the American steamer Sacramento,
who arrived here from Buenos Aires
with cargo of wheat, reports that he
was stopped in the English channel
by German submarine. The comman-
der of the submarine ordered him on
board with his papers and after ex-
amining them said, You are carrying
wheat, which we consider contraband
of war, to France. 1t is lucky for you
that your ship is American, otherwise
we should have torpedoed you with
great pleasure. You can proceed.
Good luck to you"
The only steamer of the name of
Sacramento listed in available mari
time records is reported by the New
York maritime register to have been
recently transferred from American to
British ownership. She was black
listed by the British admiralty in
April, 1916, on charges of aiding Ger
man ships in the Pacific, but was re-
moved from the blacklist last October.

It. Would Be Possible Now According
to C. p. Time Table.

you reach Montreal at two minutes
past IT o'clock, and then you wait
there till % o'clock" The average
passenger on an American railroad
would Immediately suspect that the
ticket clerk had been fracturing Rule
G., which forbids the consumption Of
intoxicating liquors, or that he or she
was being kidded. Sut passengers
on the Canadian Pacific think nothing
of it.
The Canadian Pacific has recently
adopted a time card which has the
hours numbered cOnsecutively from
one to "a, and with the time of arrival
and departure of all trains listed in
the card according to those designa-
tions.
It's a good system after people get
used to 1t, too.' said one of the ticket
clerks at the Rock Island today
There's no need for any confusion
whatever between a. m. time and p. m.
time"
The Usual Method.
On the time tables of most roads in
the states the a. m. time is printed in
/ light face type and the p. m. time in
/ dark faced, so that the readers may
distinguish between them. And then
the average reader Forgets which is
which and balls it all up anyhow.
The Canadian road has only recently
sent out the time tables with the new
system of time in them, and more or
less trouble is being encountered by
/ the ticket agents of roads in the states
why try to sell tickets good over the
Canadian road, till they "get onto
the new style.
The easiest way is just to subtract
twelve hours from every number
which is greater than H." said the
Rock Island clerk, "and that brings
it into United States time. But il
everybody would use it and get used
to it, it would beat the United States
systems all to pieces"
