Rising Sun Wins Post Season Series
From Elk Mills

By taking three out of foul
games in the post season series will
Elk Mills, Rising Sun won the cham
pionship of the SusQuehanna League
With two games to its credit
Rising Sun went into the game a.
Elk Mills Saturday with bang, ant
scored four runs in the first turn al
bat.
Gill, substituting for Chalmers
Rising Suns star shortstop, proved
himself capable. Four pitched balls
placed him on first. Rube Dunbar
also drew a pass by the same route
Boyle moved both men up by a sac
rifice bunt, and Robinson scored
them with two-bagger. A fielder's
choice and two errors scored Robin
son and Hanna before the inning
closed, and Elk Mills chances for the
game did not look very bright.
Another run came across for Ris-
ing Sun in the seventh, when Gill
got another walk to first, stole Sec
ond and scored on a hit by r. Dun
bar. In the eighth Robinson doubl-
ed and scored on Hanna's single.
After being blanked inning after
inning, Elk Mills brought joy to
their hackers in the eighth, when two
bases on balls, hit and passed
ball gave them three runs, but Ra-
gan tightened up and dashed all
hopes by holding the Weavers safe
in the ninth.
Rube Dunbar played brilliant
game at End base, accepting nine
chances and cutting off at least three
safe hits. Robinson, as usual, was
a big factor, with the stick.
During the sixth inning Elk Mills
engineered the first triple play of
the Susquehanna League.
Bland started the play with a great
STOP tapped runner coming to
third, shot the ball to second for a.
force out, Charshee relaying it to
first and completing the triple play.

the community should be proud OF,
and a brand of base ball that was
credit to both teams.
If the writer was asked to pick the
hero of the series, he would divide
the honor between Doc Ragan, for
his pitching, and Robinson for his
all round playing, and then name AL

LEGION TO Be TOLD
FRENCH DEBT VIEW
"Broken Mugs" Head Hopes
to Make u. S. Veterans
Propaganda Agents.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 10. -- Patriotic
Frenchmen plan to give the 10000
American Legion members a short,
intensive course in the truth about
the economic condition Of France"
and the war debts when the veterans
come to France next September.
Col. Picot, head Of 1.-The Broken

saws that Americans think France
nrosperous, but that he proposes to
give them a. new view of the country
and new ideas about the war debts
by sending them on a. thorough, per-

regions.

dynamite will be used to blast 1t loose
from its age.old foundations. One
million sacks of cement, 5000 carloads
of gravel and 100000 feet OF heavy
fir timbers will be required to line the
tunnel and protect it from the pos
sibility Of falling masses Of earth and
rock.
Machinery of Latest Type.
Modern methods have done no less
for tunnel building than they have for
other types of construction work. A
comparatively few years ago 1t would
have been impossible to put through
this job in anything like the time
that it will be done. It was started
on February 8, 1926. and it's compile
ton next year will be due to the fact
that every mechanical device used
will be Of the latest type.
1t is a pertinent reflection that a
half century ago 1t took 10 years,
from 1872 to 1882, to bore the St.
Gothard tunnel through the Alps. al
though the st. Gothard is only 5000
feet longer than the Great Northern.
The Great Northern tunnel will be
much longer than any other in this
country. Next to it is the Moffat
tunnel in Colorado, completed in 1923.
This Is a little more than six miles
long.
The little mountain communities Of
Berne and Scenic are humming with
activity as the tunnel construction
proceeds. They are populated entire.
ly by tunnel workers and their faIni-
lies. Only men of great strength and
endurance can engage in such an &C.
cupation. It is not a pleasant life.

THE CINCINNATI SYMPHONY.

Fritz Reiner, conductor Of the Gin
cinnati Symphony Orchestra, who was
here about month ago as guest
conductor with the Philadelphia Sym
phony Orchestra. brought his own Or
ganization here for a concert last
night at the D. A. r. Hall, which
was received with much enthusiasm
by the hardy souls who attended IN
spite of the weather.
The program, made up or four
works by czechoslovakian, Hunga-
rian, Russian and Italian composers,
was an interesting study of variety
and individual treatment of different
national themes in music. The or
chestra, under the military precision
and clean-cur exactness Of Mr.. Rein
er's leadership, responded with mar
velous attack and coordination IN
the presentation of the shaded tonali-
ties of the various works.
Smetana's overture to THE Bar.
tered Bride" was the opening number.
There was an exquisite quality to the
pianissimo work in the overture.
It was Bartok's First Suite for
Orchestra, opus 3" that seemed the
high light of the evening. 1t is a
most colorful work written before his
more modernistic trend and full of
rich melody and not "a little sugges-
ton Of "reminiscences, or influences on
the young Hungarian's style at that
time The introduction Is a brilliant
martial dance; the second movement
suggests Stravinsky in its style; the
third has restrained syncopated eff
fects with some very pianissimo pas
saEes the finale is a modern mazurka
and gives vivid finish to the work.
The third work was Stravinsky's
Song of the Nightingale" which
seemed the least attractive number on
the program. Evidently, this work
was substituted for the previously an
nounced Richard Strauss, Thus Spake
Zarasthustra," which was not given.
The finale was Alfredo Casella s
Italia" rhapsody that is as patri-
otto as Mussolini himself and as ro-
bust in bringing out the real folk
melodies that are easily recognizable
to the audience.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PORTLAND, Greg, February 10
Rapid progress is being made in the
construction of the huge tunnel that
the Great Northern Railway is dig
ging beneath the summit of the Cas-
cade Mountains in Washington. When
completed, it will not only be the
longest tunnel in the United States,
but will, if no unexpected delays are
encountered, be completed in record
time. Three years were set as the
time goal for making this eight-mile
bore, through which transcontinental
trains of the future will speed on an
easy grade, but that period will prob
ably be shortened and the tunnel in
use by Thanksgiving day, 1928.
Heavy grades and excessive curva-
ture are obstacles on the present line
that are to be eliminated by the tun-
mel. Seven and one-half miles will
also be clipped from the Great North
ern's route across the Cascades, and
the running time will be reduced ma
terially. AS a result, economy in OPP
Grafton will be achieved, which is ex-
pected to more than make up for the
$40, 900 900 than the tunnel will cost.
Safety Another Reason.
Safety is another objective that in
spired the launching of this gigantic
tunnel project. Several miles Of snow
sheds parallel the existing trackage
that is to be eliminated. These sheds
are a source of constant expense and
frequent annoyance. Besides, the
banking SHOWS that drift against them
when Winter comes with it's heavy
snowfall in the Cascades are always
a menace.
A constant force Of l 900 men is now

delving into the Cascades at the east
ern and western ends of the tunnel.
The western portal is at Scenic,
Wash, and the eastern at Berne. al
most exactly eight miles in a direct
line. The grade between them is 1855,
or IL feet to every 100.
This is in marked contrast to the
steep incline by which the railway
winds about and crosses the Cascades
pull for freight and passenger trains
over this difficult section Of the Great
Northern system.
Unusual Features Encountered.
Some unusual features have been
encountered in the building of this
gigantic tube. It passes under several
peaks which rise to an elevation OF
5000 feet. A gorge, known as Mill
Creek Canyon, lies between two of
these peaks. In order to simplify the
tunnel project it was decided to sink
a shaft in Mill Creek Canyon to the
tunnel line, bisecting it about 21a miles
west of Berne. This shaft gives an
extra inlet for tunnel construction.
Water, air and power lines also enter
through this shaft to provide the es.
sentials for operation.
The building of the Mill Creek shaft
itself was a task of no small proper
tons. It's dimensions are 8 by "a feet
and it was sunk to depth of 622 feet.
Material excavated from the tunnel is
brought to the surface by motor
driven lifts that travel at a speed Of
900 feet a minute.
The cold statistics of the tunnel job
are themselves Of interest because of
their staggering proportions. One
million cubic yards of rock must be
removed and 100000 pounds of

Despite an outbreak of strikes in
Shanghai, officially reported today, in
celebration Of the victory of Cantonese
forces at Hangchow and Ningpo,
Washington officials are hopeful that
serious menace to Americans and other
foreign nationals there will be averted.
Presence of foreign warships and
troops at Shanghai is expected to exert
a quietfng influence. Should disor-
ders occur. however, Admiral Williams
has full authority to use Marines and
bluejackets to protect Americans and
their property.
Cooperate With British.
The American forces probably would
cooperate with British or foreign con-
tingents in reinforcing the police of
the international settlement and the
Shanghai volunteers to preserve order.

They are then subjected to a special
