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.

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.
