Tho Register says: "Thnt the 1200-foot tunnel on tho new Southern Paci fic line, tho Wlllnmette-PacIflL from KiiKeno to Marshllold, will bo complete a year from September Is the declaration of Contractor Por ter, which means the virtual com pletion of the rond to Coos May within thirteen months. Chief En gineer II. P. Hoey, of tho Southorn Pacific Hues In Oregon has stated that flnlshliiK the Wlllnmctto-Pn- ciflc hnngs upon the completion of this tunnel, eight miles long, nnd thnt nil grades to tho tunnel nnd beyond will bo finished nnd rails laid by the tlmo It Is completed. At n recent trip of inspection over tho line he was told thnt eighteen months would be necessary to fin ish tho tunnel. 'Contractor Porter now declares thnt work will bo rushed to such an extent thnt tho long cut will bo completed five months nhcad of contract. At present the cut extends only 410 feet and Is progressing nt tho ato of 125 feet a month. This ate, however, represents only n fraction of the capacity of the com pressor, nnd the rnte can be In creased two or three times, especial ly if mechanical menus aro em ployed to rcmovo the "muck" which Is now lifted by hand, nnd hnuled out of tho tunnel by mules In small cars. Only two drills nro In operation, nnd this number will bo Increased to tho full capacity of tho air compressor. 'A stenni shovel will bo Installed 0 handle the refuse, a doukev en- glue will carry It from tho tunnel, and tho south heading will bo open ed, allowing tho tunneling to pro- cod from each cud. "Tho tunnel work Is bolng carried on under fnvorablo conditions. Tho sandstone rock Is comparatively soft to handle, but sufficiently hnrd to require no timbering. Tho con struction Is uuiquo In thnt the heading Is cut nlong tho bottom of the tunnel rather than the top. A platform Is then built and tho rock above blown onto this nnd allowed to fall through trap doors Into the cars. 'It will require two or three months to complete the cut on the Bouth sldo preliminary to opening tho heading. The grudo north of tho tunnel Is virtually complete to tho Umpqun River." NSTITUTE :t.
