A total of 120 men employed in two shifts are at work in this tunnel, the work on which is fully three months behind the first estimates. This delay is due to two causes scarcity of labor and water. The tunnel is beinR drilled through solid basalt rock. Apparently uncontrollable sprinRS of water were tapped as the work in the tunnel proRressed. Some of the laborers in the tunnel must wear hip rubber boots and stand in the water, while water from th sprinRS above drips down on their backs. Hence labor is hard to ke'p employed in the tunnel. The fact of there beinR a con stant (low of water from the springs in the tunnel requires an expenditure of time, labor and monev on the part of the Utah Construction company, which has the construction con tract for the Oregon & Eastern, to dispose of this water and make it possible for laborers to work in the tunnel. These unfortunate cirumstances are the cause of the delay of three months in the completion of the tunnel, or from April 1, to July 1. 1913. When this tunnel is completed then the most difficult engineer ing and construction work on the Oregon & Eastern will have been overcome, and the work of grad inR, bridRe-building and track laying will be pushed with Rreat viRor.

The t hmj-r thai impresses one most of all, ;ts ihe trip is muile over this new 'extension, la the mil" i iiii- iii construction work in the road already completed o mile post No. '.in The statement has heen made by men well versed in railroad ing, who have seen the work being done on the Oregon & Eastern, that this is the finest piece of new main line railroad construction they have ever seen in the west. The further state ment is made. M showing Un remarkable charaeler of this work, that this 88 miles of com pleted track could easily curry a heavy passenger train drawn by the heaviest engine in the Oregon Short Line service, going tit the rate of 0 miles an hour. There is no doubt in the minds of men in this territory, who are possessed with keen foresight that the Oregon A Eastern when completed west to the Cascade mountains, and on to Coos Hay. will le the road over which will run the heavy and last through passenger and freight truins, from east to west, over the Har riman system to north Pacific points. There has recently been let to the Utah Construction company the contract for "200 miles of rail road construction work to extend eastward from Coos Hay, on the west coast of Oregon, to the east slope of the Cascade mountains. In making the trip from Vale td and thrOQgh the bin tunnel, which is a very inten iting one, the following facts were obtained. The track, which is of 75-potmd steel, which is the heaviest steel that is put down on a new road bed, is laid and ballasted to mile post 38. The four powerful steel and concrete bridge! over the Malheur river between Vale and tne tun nel are completed, M are also all the heavy trestle bridges over the gulches, irrigation ditches, etc. All these bridges are cap able of carrving with absolute safety the heaviest trains in ex istence. The four Malheur river bridges are especially noteworthy for their superior steel and con crete construction. No stronger or safer railroad bridges have ever been built on anv road. All the sidetracks between Vale and the tunnel are completed. Thirty miles of fencing is com pleted. The telephone line is in opera tion from Vale to the new town of HsYper at mile K).st 27. The telegraph line la in course of erection. The water station for trains in Little valley at mile Ht 19 is completed. The $4500 depot at Harper is finished. It is a very nice two story frame building. The "Y" at Harper is in. A four-pn stock yard will be built at Harpers right away. The one mile of track from mile post 38 to the east side of the tunnel will be completed with in seven days.

"With air filterey through for ests and cleansed by meadows and fields, free from the nerve wracking noise of cars, unannoy- ed by the odor of packing house or manufactury, with the absolute control of water and food supply, there seems no reason why the dweller in the rural home die save by accident or from old age, sam Mrs. i.aivm.

"It is not that the owner of a rural home knows or cares less than the city dweller; it is that he must know more, because he is dependant wholly upon his own knowledge and care for the whole some surroundings of his family.

McNEIL WOULD MAKE SCHOOLS COMMUNITY CENTERS O. M. Plummer Advocates a Closer As sociation of Business and School Activities. May be Acted Upon Profitably Throughout the Entire Country as Little Interest is Shown At the meeting of the Paient Teachera' association of the Irv mgton school Wednesday, O. M. Plummer spoke informally on some of the needs of the public ECdools loday says the Journal. II said in part: "I'de business man of Portland are taking very kindly to the idea of becoming a live part of the school affairs of the city. Ap parently it has only recently oc curred to any great number of business men, or any organization of business men, to think that they might have an interest in the public schools further than prompt tax paying, and it comes in the nature of a pleasant sur prise when we find some of the most important educators of the iay from all parts of the country preaching the gospel of coopera tion between business and school interests. "The school buildings are owned by the people and for the use of the people's children. What private business is there in the city of Portland which could lie operated six hours a day only and live? It would take practi cally three times the amount of capital now invested if our plants were handled on the same basis as our school buildings. Ap parently the one idea of the par ents in the past, with few ex ceptions, has been to look for ward to the time when the child would be 0' years of age, when it would be turned over to a teacher, she to be responsible for its de velopment during the most im pressionable years of its life. Without a knowledge of the home life of the child, the teacher is like a ship at sea without a com pass; she may perchance hit upon the natural bent of the child once in 50 times, the other 49 times the children are being given education fit for some other child.
