WILL TUNNEL UNDER STRAIT
Japanese Authorities Said to Have
Decided Upon Engineering Fest
Of Magnitude.

Several months ago announcement
was made that the Imperial govern
ment railways Of Japan intended to
build tunnel under the iShimonoseki
strait. This strait separates the main
island Of the Japanese group, Hondo,
from the smaller island of Kiushn at
the south. 1t is now crossed by q
car ferry, which is RAPIDLY becoming
insufficient to meet the demands that
are made upon it. TWO years are to
be spent in studying the geological
formation of the sea bed in the strait
and In drafting Of the general plan
Of work in preparation for the actual
undertaking of tulineling, SO that the
real work will not commence until
1921. Engineers and workmen will be
sent to America and Europe to make
a study of what has been achieved in
these countries in the way Of tunnel
engineering. The line is to be seven
miles long. ONE mile of which will be
under the sea. The approxi-
mate cost of, the undertaking will be
about $1,000. 600 and the work is ax-
pected to lie completed in lS28-Sci-

We are impressed with the thought
that a splendid city council was elect.
ed on Monday md one that will re.
store confidence in the management of
the. affairs of the city, 1t must be adj
mitted that for several years all the
offices of Denison have not been filed
by men of sound and practical business
Judgment and that in consequence of
this fact the public interests have not
been promoted as they might have been
under other circumstances.
We are now carrying a heavy bur
den of Indebtedness. which will give our
new council all they can do to steer the
city forward and avoid breakers. We
have confidence that we now have n city
council with the training and sound
