: Two-thirds Of a mile Of solid rock
still separates the advance headings
Of Americas longest tunnel which Is
being bored through the Cascade
range by the Great Northern railway.
For a distance Of more than a mile
the tunnel must still be brought TO
full size, and nearly three miles Of

nels that are two and three miles
shorter.
Two and one-half years ago the
construction forces moved into the
Cascade mountains to begin the big
tunnel job. In order 70 attack the
route OF the main tunnel at many diff
ferent places, q second tunnel was
started from the west portal paral-
leling the route Of the main tunnel at
4 distance Of go feet. AS the smaller
tunnel advanced, cr~oss-drifts were
run TO the route Of the main tunnel
where additional crews would begin
work in both directions.
At the same time advantage was TAX

the east portal where a shaft was
sunk 622 feet and crews began work

shaft. Another temporary tunnel was
driven westward from this point to
connect with the one from the west
portal. The temporary tunnels were
"holed through" May I.
