The work will begin this fall and its
completion Is set for 1925.
By the construction OF the MOitat
tunnel Colorado expects 10 bring
about the following results:
Give new transcOntinental trunk
line to the nation at once, shorter and
more scenic than any other.
Develop the Colorado western slope
Of the Rockles-an undiscovered
country" Of vast potential riches.
Increase the states population and
put Denver on the railroad map and
make 1t a city of 100000 people.
For a generation Colorado has been
talking Of tunneling James Peak. Den
yer voted ten years ago to extend Its
credit for financing the Moffat tunnel,
but the courts declared against the
cOnstitutionality Of the plan. This
time the state Of Colorado has passed
an act under which the counties
benefited most by the tunnel constitute
bonding district Indicated on map
by shaded portion) and raise the funds
by sale of bonds.
The progress OF the Moffat tunnel
will be watched with sentimental In
terest by hundreds of thousands Of
people In every nook and Granny Of
the United States. AS tourists they
have made a trip on the Moffat road
from Denver over the Continental
Divide have played in the snow In
July at Corona (11,660 feet) where
the road breaks all world altitude
records; have exclaimed over the ma
jestlc scenery, and have marveled at
the daring and skill of the men who
found the way and bored the tunnels
and laid the rails.
Not few of them will thrill at the
thought that at last the vision Of
David Halliday Moffat is to be real
ized. For this Denver pioneer miner,
banker and railroad builder dreamed
a dream that was a prophetic vision.
Denver Is the gateway to thirty-two
national parks and monuments. Nine
railroads enter 1t. Nevertheless, II
is not, strictly speaking, on the rail-
road map.
For behind the city rises the Colo
RADIO Continental Divide, which says
to the railroads:
"COme not across-go around I"
And the railroads have gone around,
making wide detours TO the north and
south on their way to the Pacific.
Thus they have left Denver In a
pocket and have passed far from the
western slope OF the Continental
Divide In Colorado and Utah--a region
bigger nan all New England and of
fabulous potential riches.
Moffat dared the terrors Of the Con-

Of Denver as president and Maj. L. D.
Blauvelt as chief construction engi-

The Moffat tunnel viii cut the high

duce Its maximum per cent grades
to per cent grades and lts maximum

Lake to 10 degrees.
The construction of 324 miles over
comparatively level country westward
from Craig will carry the MOffat road
to Salt Lake and shorten the shortest
railroad distance by 73 miles, By
the construction of a cutoff Of forty
one miles from Orestod on the Moffat
line TO Dotsero on the Denver 4 Rlo
Gruude Western the distance from
Denver to GlenwoOd Springs would Be
reduced from 343 miles TO 173 mites.

eral gangs to work at once. From
600 to 1000 men will be employed.
Colorado Is rejoicing over the fact
that the MOffat tunnel will bring
closer the eustern and western slopes
of the state, now practically separated
by the Continental Divide. Last
winter when the Moffat road was
showed under there was danger of
the northwestern part Of the state
starving and volunteer workers turned
out to dig out the line.
Moreover, the western slope, both
In Colorado and Utah, is a veritable
land of natural riches, according TO

Russell ID. George, state geOlOgist OF
Colorado. According to his report oil

Denver, North Western 4 Pacific
which the people promptly named the
'Moffat Road" He started his road
straight west over the Continental
Divide for Salt Lake City.
The engineers went into the field
December 81, 1902, aud stayed Oh the
job three straight years, winter und
summer. They climbed ON slopes
where a misstep meant death. They
hung from ropes I'm deep gOrges. On
snowshoes and skis they travelled
among the peaks Of the divide tar
above timber line in Arctic temperu-
lures. But they found a way-tor-
tuous and difficult though II was-for
first class railroad.
Into this work Moffat poured his
personal fortune Of many millions. The
cOsi of construction was appalling since
Moffat would have nothing but q
broad-gauge standard railroad for
transcontinental traffic. The grading
and tunnel work alone on the first
fifty miles out Of Denver cost on an
average 100000 a mile, and the thirty
FIVE miles from the point where the
road begins to climb the foothills to
the site of the proposed tunnel cost
100000 a mile. These figures include
only the tunnel work and grading, aud
not the cost Of ties, rails, the labor
Of laying the track and the expendi-
lures for stations, water tanks and
equipment. One particularly difficult
mile actually cost S265.0OO. On the
n miles from Denver to Arrow head,
which is over the Continental Divide
in Middle Park, there are thlrty-fouE
tunnels. In one stretch Of eleven miles
there are twenty-nine tunnels through
solid granite.
The cost Of operation over the
divide In winter was also appalling.
SO Moffat planned to bore through
James Peak and dodge the snowdrifts
Of timber line (11,5O0 feet) by going
through the living granite.
Then came the time Of financial
difficulties. Moffat exhausted his
enormous resources, Promised support
failed him. His name was anathema
to transcontlnental roads. Finally he
died-with his road only completed
to Craig-231 miles from Denver. Re

Houseboat Owners Are Requested to
 Pay Tax

ROCHESTER, Pa, Jan. 26.-f 1t isn't one thing it's another, to take the joy out of life, declare owners of houseboats along the Ohio river Hitched to trees and other things are hundreds of houseboats. Owners bought the craft or built them to avoid the high cost of living and gouging landlords.
 Houseboats don't cost a whole lot, at least not nearly as much as a
 house or bungalow, and they are
 just as comfortable Once you own
 one there is no high rent to pay Rochester borough needs the
 money So, having taxed every thing else in sight, a novel idea to
 raise more money by tax was hit upon. Why not tax the houseboats
 Great idea No quicker said than
 done. So the Borough Council thought $25 per year per houseboat would be all right. The boats are not taxed for property value. Better scheme than that The tax will be for rental of approximate space" That's a brand-new one in tax terms, but it goes, say the Rochester coun- cilmen. Notice was served on the boat owners, but so far they have failed to pay up. The last seen of a few of them they were floating down toward the Gulf of Mexico. The others, who are still anchored at the from They, too, may float along before they pay that $25 tax.

PASTOR HEAVES VERBAL BOMBS
 AT JAZZ

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 26.---In a ser mon on Should Christians Dancer or "Jazz Music and the Public Dance Hall" the Rev. Dr. Herbert Booth Smith, pastor of Immanuel Presby- terian Church, of Los Angeles, hous- ing one of the largest cong1 egations of that denomination in the world quoted a dancing master as having said Five doses of jazz music would have the same result as five doses of whiskey."
 Dr. Smith in his sermon. which at- tracted much attention in Los An- geles religious circles, also said:
 ''Dr Frank Morton. National Mu- sical Scientist, says that jazz music is much more intoxicating than whis- key. He calls jazz Musical Bolshe- vism. and claims it has the same disorganizing effect on the nerve centers as moonshine liquor. He made an experiment. some time ago as follows: He opened grand piano and said to the auditor, Relax inc muscles He then struck a soothing chord. and the listener closed his eyes. Then he struck the dominant seventh, and there was awakened in the listener tenseness and anticipation.
 "Dr. Morton said. Now and broke
The Cordova daily times., 1922-01-26

into a Hindu incantation of the Far East. The uncanny notes caused a swimming sensation and a tingling of the nerves akin to intoxication. Then, with a bang, he broke the charm by the common chord. Con- menting on the experiment, he said: The effect of rhythmic repetition is to drive it's votaries to the extremes of valor, depravity and rapture great CT than the strongest liquor.'"
 In the course of his sermon Dr. Smith enunciated four principles which he said would help to guide Christians in the whole matter of amusement not merely dances. The four principles are as follows
 FOUR PRINCIPLES
 First test: Does Che thing in question enslave and drag men down? Quoting from Paul, "All things the lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any,
 Second test: Does the thing in question possibly help me and build me up in body. mind and spirit? Quoting again from Paul, All things are lawful for me. but all things do not edify or build up.'
 Third test: Does the matter in question cause others to stumble over me? Quoting from Paul. If meat make my brother to offend I will eat no meat so long as the world stand eth
 Fourth test: Can the pleasure consistently fit in with the glory of God? Quoting from Paul, "Whatso- ever ye do, whether ye eat or drink, do all to the glory of Cod"
 In concluding the sermon, which has aroused wide comment. Dr. Smith asserted:
 What is the correction for the evils of the public dance hall? One way is to turn on the light of day. Official inspection will never do it.. but the unofficial inspection of peo- pie who are interested in raising the level of the community will help. Another thing would be to prevail on the social leaders to set the right style for youth to initiate. AS long as society leaders engage in question able dances so long will the public dance halls follow"

Will Attempt Close Study of Eskimo
 Skeletons

HALIFAX, N. S., Jan. 26.--Thirty- three skeletons of Eskimos from the Mackenzie River area have arrived to be sent to Dalhousie University where they will be measured and studied for the Canadian government by Dr. John Cameron
 The skeletons were collected by the Arctic exploration expedition sent out by the government which has spent five years in the north study ing the habits, language and charac- teristics of the Eskimo tribes. They represent the Eskimo tribes inha biting Herschel Island and the coastal region between Point Barrow and Coronation Gulf. This is north of the Indian country. Eskimos are the only inhabitants except for the few white men at infrequent posts of the Hudson's Bay Company.
 Dr. Camerons estimates that three years will be required to complete the examination of the skeletons and make the thousands of measurements necessary in the interests of sci ence
 The exact archaeological status of the Eskimos, it is believed, will be determined. Anthropologists agree they are of Asiatic origin. Eskimos are constantly travelling between the two continents, walking on the ice across Boring straits in winter and padding across in their bidarkas in summer They are not close ethno- logic kin to the North American h. dians, if kin at all, and this exhaus- tive investigation may determine their closest racial affinities.
 The result of the survey will be embodied in volume by Dr. Cam- eron A special study on the teeth will be made by pr. S. G. Ritchie of Halifax.
