Moffat Tunnel Opened By
Blast Set Off By Golden
Key Touched By Executive

DENVER, Feb. 19 P-The contin-
entail divide-the barrier erected by
the Rocky mountains separating
east from the west-has been pierced
and man has walked beneath it.
President Coolidge Friday touched
a golden telegraph key in the white
house at Washington setting off the
charge of explosives that removed the
last rock barrier in the Moffat tun-
mel, SO miles west of Denver. Gov.
w. H. Adams of Colorado and Gov.
George Dern of Utah, clambered over
the Stag piles thus arrested and in
a handclasp of greeting and friend
ship joined east and west beneath
the crest of James peak, 9,242 feet
above sea level
Hardy pioneers and gold seekers
more than 70 years ago first con-
divide as they wended their pre-
carious and circuitous routes over and
around the almost insurmountable
peaks. A half century or so later,
man again conquered the divide when
the airship first braved the treach-
erous air currents that play about
the peaks. And now, man again,
through the Moffat tunnel, 6.O1 miles
in length through the heart of the
Rockies, has conquered the range.
The first shovel full of dirt mark
ing the start of the gigantic task
was turned on September %, 1928
Straight through the heart of James
Peak, one Of the highest in the Rocky

workers have since drilled their way.
Starting at an elevation of 9,19S
feet above sea level at West Portal
and 9,O85 feet at East Portal, the
charge of explosive tonight brought
the workmen of the two camps to-
gether at an altitude of 9,242 feet,
and still more than 1000 feet be-
meath the peak of James Peak.
The Moffat tunnel, longest in the
United States, will be used by the
Denver and Salt Lake railroad and
will reduce the rail distance, with
the construction of an authorized
cutoff rail line, 173 miles between
Denver and Salt Lake City and will
open to commerce a vast and here
tofore almost inaccessible territory
comprising Approximately one-fifth
of the entire state of Colorado. 1t
contains some of the largest coal
deposit fields in the country, as well
as some of the richest farming lands
Of the Rocky Mountain region.
The tunnel eliminates 80 miles of
4 per cent grade over the divide
and leaves the maximum grade for
the railroad using the tunnel but
per cent. It will require 20 minutes
for the fastest train to negotiate the

distance of the tunnel when it finally
is placed in operation.
With the completion of the tunnel
a dream of more than az years of
the late David H. Moffat, pioneer
Coloradoan and state developer, comes
true. He spent his entire fortune,
wrested from the mines in the early
days, in the construction of the old

commonly known, as the Moffat road,

Policemen rotect
Arizona Cacti Plant
On Florida Estate

TUCSON, Feb. 19--In Arizona a
cactus spines are enough to protect
them from passers-by. Down in
Florida they are such a novelty that
a police guard is necessary to pro-
tect them from the curious. That is
the report made to Weston McMinn,
the only cactus wholesaler in the
world, from Lewis & Valentine, land
scape architects of New York and
Palm Beach, in their repeat order:
Rush another carload of assorted
cacti."
The carload of cacti went forward
sahuaros yuccas, chollas and barrel
cacti.
The carload which McMinn shipped
in December were planted on the
estate of the widow of the late cereal
beverage king, Post, and made such
an impression that grounds studded
with Arizona cacti have become the
rage in Florida. The cacti on the
Post estate are thriving, according
to the landscape architects.
McMinn obtains most of his cacti
from the slopes of the Catalinas,
but the yuccas around Oracle are
best. He has experimental with
various means of digging them and
shipping them and he is able to
ship them any distance without
damage. There are about 80 in a

new RECORD IN
ARIZONA MINING
FOR PAST YEAR

Arizona produced nearly half of all
the copper in the country, ranked far
ahead of all other western states in
combined value of metal output, and
ranked third in production of gold and
silver in 1926, according to preliminary
estimates of the u. S. Bureau of Mines.
The state exceeded former peace time
records of copper production and in
creased it's output of gold, silver and
zinc in 1926. The value of it's metals
showed slight decline as compared
with 1925 Total value of the states
metal production for the year is given
as Sill, 100000 The revised figure for
the Year before is $113, ,198,198.

President Coolidge Opens Continental Divide to Man
Women Wear Trousers
To Church in the Winter
Sport Center of America

LAKE PLACID, N Y, Feb. 19.-
R-Women even wear trousers to
church in this Adirondacks mountain
village which claims to be the winter
sport center of America.
Comfort and freedom of movement
dictate the costumes of both sexes
and women have long forsaken skirts
for breeches when pursuing health and
pleasure over the snow and ice. Re-
Gently they have appeared in mascu-
line attire at morning prayers in the
non-sectarian chapel of the Lake
Placid Club.
The women's manly woolen shirts
and dumping ski boots give way to
more alluringly feminine apparel at
the evening dances and occasional
brilliant fancy dress carnivals on the
clubs outdoor rinks, however. These
rinks, which the club holds to be the
largest in the country are kept free of
snow during the three winter months
by a force of men who flood them
nightly with boiling water, which
freezes more quickly than cold and
gives smoother surface.
Three new sports-baseball, basket
ball, and dancing on skates-are win
ming favor rapidly on the rinks. All
three are much speedier and more live
ly than without skates, and conse-
quently produce more tumbles.
Twin toboggan chutes a mile long
vie with the rinks in popularity. Some
of the more adventurous essay the
chutes on skis, but frequently plunge
headlong into the snow heaps at the
sides.
The long boards are replacing snow
shoes even for hikes over the mountain
trails. Skiing parties travel anywhere
from five to 35 miles a day, the be-
ginners keeping to level ground or
short jumps, and the experts leaping
100 feet or more. Every one in Lake
Placid over three years old uses skis.
Eight year old Catherine Dewey Of
Lake Placid took second place this
year in a cross country ski-race in
competition with dozens of adults.
Most of the visitors are amateurs
from Canada and the United States,
including the south. The international
skating and ski jumping tournaments,
however, attract some of the fastest
skaters and most famous ski jumpers
in the world.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-There
have been several outbreaks recently,

Health Service said today.
So far this month, 179 cases are
active in the country. In Martins
Ferry, Ohio, mining district, there
were As cases this month. With three
deaths since August 4th, nine new
cases were reported between Aug.

Because it believes that infantile
paralysis serum is still in the expert
mental stage, the Public Health Ser
vice is distributing none, but Off
Gals said that an ample supply of
serum is available from commercial
distributors.
The health officials in the mining
districts of Ohio are not medical men,
necessarily, and are elected on the
basis of partisan politics, where they
are not actually placed in office by
coal companies. ~

Oscar Nelson Fails
To Smash Meetings
Of Garment Workers

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-In spite of
intimidation and threats by all the
city politicians led by Alderman Oscar
F. Nelson, 1000 cloak and dress
makers answered the call of the
regularly elected Joint Board and
came to a mass meeting to pledge
themselves to protect the union
against the attempts of the Sigman
clique plus the Federation takers to
take over the union with the aid of
the bosses and the underworld in
Chicago.
This so-called Labor" alderman
first inundated the owner of the
North West hall and forced him to
close the hall for the Joint Board,
he also organized the alderman in the
district to threaten the hallkeeper
His story was that "The city will not
permit these troublemakers, Commun-
lists, bonlbtrowers, etc, to hold a
meeting in any hail."
In spite of the fact that he was
able to get the first hall cancelled he
was not successful in preventing the
meeting which was held at the Divi-
sion hall few blocks from there and
the result was that the few gangsters
modified to break it up could not
succeed in breaking the spirit of solid
arity displayed by the militant cloak
makers.
The meeting showed further appre-
citation of the left wing leadership by
taking up collection of about 1876
to help carry on the fight to main
tain union conditions in the cloak and
dress industry in Chicago and pre-
vent the Sigman corrupt machine
plus Nochels, Nelson's, Fitzpatrick ct
al to turn it over to the bosses.
