THE TUNNEL FOR EIGHT MILLIONS.

Hon. Peter Gavin well known in the

niercantllellfe of the I’rovince and also

for a number of yearsa member of the Legislature with ii sent without portfolio lulheSulllvan-Ferguson Ad|nini;'\t!‘8il°l\. who since his removal from this Province

has filled important positlnnson the iireat,_ Northern Railway stall' on the Pacificl const of the United States and now oc-

(iupics a responsible place with the great railway contracting firm of Porter Broth- bl's,Spokane,\Viishington 'l`erritory,wrltes the following interesting leitcr which all Islanders will read with pleasure. It is addressed to Father Burke of Aiberton, Mr. Gavln`s forincr hoine:

“I presume there is no doubt as to the

feasibility of the Tunnel scheme, and the

only question to be considered is the one oi cost. As you are taking a deep interest ln the proicct, I thought you might like to see some figures covering the cost oi' con- ' structing one of the longest and most

expensive tunnels in this country. ' “The Cascade Tunnel, built by the Great

Northern Railway Co. under the summit of the Cascade range, on its main line to

under $2,500,000. It was bored through a very hard granite formatlon,nnd is heavily lined throughout with concrete. It was' not ict- by contract, but was built under

the direction of the Chief Engineer of the

_ _ Straits should turn out to be soft sand-

Seattlc, is 13,874 feet long, and cost a tiitle stone or __h___,___ that could he broken out

with a pick, the cost of excavation would

G.N.Rallway.Thc workmen inet with con- siderable ditliculty from water flowing in- to the Tunnel,and as it has a two per cent gradcdlpplng \Vest, it was necessary to keep steam pumps going continually to keep the water out of the East end. This of course, added considerably to the .cost oi' the work. All the modern appliances, known to the science of Tunnel building, were in use inthe construction of this

Tunnel; power drills, air compressors, electricity, perfect organization, the best incchanicnl skill, therefore, tho above tigurcs ought to have some value as n guide to us in making an approximate estimate ol’ the cost. of building a Tunnel under the Straits.

“Taking into consideration the quality

ofthe material to be excavated, and the character and cost of the labor employed, it is not too much to expect that tlic Straits Tunnel can be built for one quiir- ter less perllncal foot than the Cascade Tunnel. Every yard of material taken out of the Cascade Tunnel, had to be broken out with explosivcs._ Itis the ex- plosives that run the cost up on work of this kind. If the material under thc

l>e_ materially lessened. The Cascade

Tunnel, including the concrete lining cost $179.00 per lineal foot. The sizeof both

What is so rare as a day in June i

Some of these days Oya;na. will be iunk-

ing trouble again.

Japan is understood to have 12 submar-`

me gm-pcdu boats and the Straits of Korea would seem to be a good place for this

class of war craft to attao the enemy. It may be that part ot the havoek among the

I

Russian ships was from the submarines.

The way Japan has made war on Rus~

sta by land and sea tends to make the British Wa-r ill Sollill Africa look as insignificant as a car ferry alongside of a Tunnel. Haifa dozen great battles, some of them the greatest, in history, fought and won, Port Arthur, an almost impregnable fortress, besieged and captured and forty seven warships talren_or sunk are among the exploits of the last sixteen months.

Rcjestvcnsky had a decided pi-eponder~

ance rf heavy guns in the late battle. I-le had ill twelve-inch Runs to Togo's 22 and 8 nine~inch guns to 4 on the Japanese side, while the ten-inch guns were three each. But evidently the disproportion of 42 Russian heavy guns against 29 Japanese guns of like calibre was more than equalised by the greater rapidity and accuracy ofthe Japanese iiio. A projectile (mm a 12-inch gun is only dangerous when it strikes something.

Rojestvensky is a prisoner and 22 of his

ships sunk or captured. His fleet was valued at $65,000,090. The Russian Ad-

mlrality spent all last summer retltting'_ the old ships and equipping the new_

ones._ In October last he sat sail. After ` his iight with the tlshernicn in the North ses he was -amid to take his batticships

and cruisers through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal and so sent them,» around the Cape of Good Hope. For months he :lingered around the UDBSG Of Madagascar, and later along the coast- of

French China. _At length he hasniet his fate savcn and _a half months after he set outfroiuthc Baltic. Grcatliopeil had been liuilt'on this Russian armada, but it

is past hope now.

look nice in any sort of new clothes and an angel smile.

But it’s after he has been out in the vacant lots,

as a real boy, that the difference shows up between really good and bad clothing-at difference which very few people can tell until the clothes are worn awhile.
