1t Can't Be Done
By EDWARD HUNCERFORD
Illustrations BY Sidney H. Riesenberg

day men We're walking on the dry floor of
tunnel that goes eleven hundred feet
beneath the surface of that great stream.
And it had been cut merely for the pur
pose of bringing fresh water to New York
from the mountain streams of the Catskills.
About the same time that William G.
McAdoo was coming toward New York,
little man, whose bristling mustache
and large spectacles proclaimed his
dynamic energy, was rejuvenating some
of the great railroads of the West. The
first of these roads that came under his
vitalzing touch were the Southern Pacific
and the Union Pacific systems-together
forming the most direct and important
line from Omaha to San Francisco. 1t
took only single glance at his atlas to
show E. II. Hartman how very direct was
this line-save at one point, just west of
Ogden, where it bent sharply to the north
to round the Great Salt Lake. That time
taking bend irritated Hartman.
al want it ironed out, he commanded
his engineers.
at can't be done, was their reply.
"Why?" he demanded.
They tried to explain to him-carefully
and courteously, for he was their boss.
They told him that in the whole daring
history of American railroading no one
had ever even attempted to bridge lake
thirty-two miles in width.
MAKE an embankment, them said
Hartman.
He had his mind on the forty-four miles
of actual shortening that he was going to
make in the main stem in his growing
group of railroads. They shook their
heads and tried to explain the insecure
foundation that the bottom of the lake
would give. Hartman let them have
about three minutes of his immensely
valuable time. Then he cut them short,
saying:
"You had better get to work without
further delay
They went to work-without enthusi-
asm. They knew that the cutoff could
never be completed Sink-holes devel-
oped and the engineers began whispering
Evening star., 1916-08-20

DOR many years men dreamed of
tunneling the Hudson River at the
city of New York. 1t seemed an
- idle dream, even when one con-
sidered the many tunnels that London
had managed to bore beneath the Thames.
For the Thames has a rocky bottom, while
the floor of the Hudson where it joins the
sea is silt
Finally, in 1879, an effort was made to
accomplish this seemingly impossible
thing. A group of men financed and
began tunnel which was to connect
Jersey City with Washington Square,
New York They dug 1900 feet of brick
lined tunnel-driving their heading for
ward simply by the use of compressed air:
for the shield method of tunnel-cutting
had not then been perfected. But the day
came when the leakage of air through the
soft earth and the fresh masonry more
than offset the air pressure. Then the
river swept into mans puny enterprise;
and, in less. time than it takes to tell it
here, it filled with water. And the twenty
men who were working in the heading
literally were drowned like rats.
at will never be done; ii can't be
done" said New Workers, and it looked
as if they were right. And if younger
and bolder generation of New Workers
were unwilling to believe this, they had
their doubtings set at rest-thirteen years
later. A second attempt was made to dig
the tunnel that would mean so much in
traffic relief to the biggest and most con-
gested city in America. The original bore
was pumped out and extended another
1900 feet. After that the heading ran into
soft mud and slowly filled with water.
at can't be DONE said the engineers.
"The Hudson will never be tunneled at
New York"
Somewhere about the beginning of the
present century young Tennesseean came
up to New York to seek his fortune. He
wanted to do something big-and differ
ent. The one thing went with the other.
In New York it generally is necessary to
do something different in order to do
something big. All the big things are
occupied by men already on the ground.
"If you want to do something big,
McAdoo, why don't you tunnel the Hud-
SOM some one said to him one day.

When New Lake Was Formed

TAKE another great salt lick Of the
mysterious West-the Salton Sea,
down in southwestern California, close to
the brink of the Colorado River. Here
is one of the strangest spots in the entire
Southwestern itself filled with strange
works of nature For great area, equal
in size to several Eastern States, is
actually lower-from hundred to two
hundred feet-than the level of the sea.
Only portion of this bowl is occupied
by the Salton Sea. Much of the rest of it
is divided into fine farms.
In the spring of 1907 the Colorado River
swept down its course in tidal food, and
thrust its waters against the narrow neck
of land in fearful impact. The natural
dixie gave way, and the waterbegan pouring
into the Imperial Valley at therate of A 600
cubic feet to the second. In time meas
ured by hours and minutes rather than by
days there was new lake in southern
California, fifteen miles in width, fifty
miles in length, one hundred feet deep at
the center.
California was alarmed. Washington
was alarmed. 1t looked as il the entire
great productive area were to be perma-
nently inundated. Theodore Roosevelt
was President, and Hartman was tho
head of the Southern Pacific, the railroad
that threaded and served the Imperial
Valley. Roosevelt asked Hartman for
Evening star., 1916-08-20

Then he showed the lean boy from the
Tennessee hills just what such tunnel
would mean to the town. to all the big
railroads, whose terminals were on the
west bank of the Hudson.
William G. McAdoo caught the idea in
an instant. He went to the construc-
ton engineers. They laughed first at his
enthusiasm, and then they repeated the
time-honored dictum.
at can't be done,' they told him. "The
Hudson will never be tunneled at the city
of New York.
And then they told him the history of
the two ghastly attempts. But McAdoo,
in return, only laughed in their faces,
boarded train, and went down to see the
officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad at
their headquarters in Philadelphia. The
Pennsylvania people did not laugh at him.
They merely told him that some day they
were going to do something of the same
sort. In the meantime, if McAdoo wanted
to bore under the Hudson to the very tip
of Manhattan, they would stand back of
him-would deliver their passenger traffic
for that part of the city to him. The
other roads at Jersey City made similar
encouragements for an uptown branch of
the tunnel.
Evening star., 1916-08-20
McAdoo Did the Impossible

TT was the uptown branch of the tun-
mel that McAdoo built first-with APP
parently no more difficulty than he would
have had in placing an ordinary railroad
across the country. And when the can't
be-done engineers came to him, in surprise
and frank admiration, to ask him how he
had done it, McAdoo told them that he
had made his great subterranean tubes of
solid ringed metal instead of the more
costly and less substantial brick lining
And after he had done it once it was
easy for him to dig another pair Of tun-
'nels under the Hudson to downtown
New York, to pave the way for the Penn
sylvania's own great enterprise few
years later. No longer was the tunneling
of the Hudson cant-be-done. The other

"I-told-you-so' to each other. But they
did not tell their big boss anything of that
sort. Finally bad went to worse. Whole
long sections of the completed line began
dropping completely out of sight.
at can't be DONE" they told him.
But Harriman's mind refused to bulge
from that forty-four miles that he was go
ing to save in the main line of his biggest
road.
"You must carry it through, whether it
is possible or not, was his reply
And eventually they carried it through.
So was that cutoff built over the Great
Salt Lake upon the wreckage of tracks
and trestes and concrete piling. 1t was
not the first time in the annals of railroad
engineering that this has been done; it
will not be the last.

GERMANS ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER THEIR NEW LOAN
lBy The Associated PiAssl

BERLIN, June ll-When the recent
German loan was in process Of sub
scription it was the impression among
many bankers that small Subscribers
were not coming forward 30 numerously
as for the loan of last September.
Figures now published disclose on the
other hand that the number Of small
subscribers for this latest loan was
greater than for any previous issue.
No fewer than 4,269, 1888 Germans sub
scribed forNSamOunts of 1000 marks
($23S) each, whereas this class of sub
scribes for the September, 1915 loan,
embraced only 1901 PIG names, and
that of March, 1915, l,943,359 names.
Bankers declare that these figures in
dictate that the war loans are growing
more and more popular among the
poorer classes of the people.
