Railroad to The Dalles.
To a casual reader, the an
nouncement that "a railway ib in
course of construction from Port
land to The Dalles," seems very
simple, but to a person who has
made the trip between the metropo
lis of Oregon and the gateway to
the great empire lying east of the
Cascades, and who has closely ob
served the north bank of the Co
lumbia, the thought will occur that
no slight difficulties stand in the
way of the enterprise. Even to an
experienced civil engineer whose
eye would naturally run a line
along her ever-varying shore,
looking from the deck of a steam
boat half a mile, or a mile, or a
mile and a half distant, the vast
ness of the undertaking would
not be apparent. Not even to
surveyors who located, a year ago,
the route to be followed, were the
obstacles to successful establish
ment of the railroad known.
More than that: The very compe
tent men now in charge of the
work did not comprehend the
exact nature of their task, simply
because no railroad has ever been
built in the United States through
such territory as lies at the base
of the Cascade mountains where
they are divided by the majestic
Columbia. Every step is a battle
against nature, but human skill
and perseverence united with will
ing, zealous capital, will tri
umph. The colossal undertak
ing will be accomplished, and
that too , within one 3'oar.
About ten miles below The Dalles
is the first heavy work in opera
tion; a bluff of flint', basaltic rock,
rising abruptly from the river, al
most perpendicular, to the height
of 300 feet and 1,000 feet long,
varying from 15 feet at the top to
35 feet at the base, is blasted oil".
Ascent of the cliff is commenced
half a mile below at the river bank,
where an easy landing is effected;
then up a long flight of steep
steps built by the company; then
over a rough, circuitous path to
the edge of the piecipice. It was
easy enough to make the first
blast, because drilling was done
from the top surface; but this
leaves no foothold for workmen.
They had to be lei down with
ropes and suspended until they
could drill and blast a ledge on
which to stand. After every fresh
blast came the same difficulty in
obtaining a foothold, and this
still continues. Two men with
ropes around their chests being let
down a perpendicular wall a hund
red and fifty feet, with a like dis
tance between them and the river,
at work with drill and hammer, is
a siffht at once novel and startling.
The bluff referred to is only one
of a score or more being shot
away between Rooster rock and
The Dalles all of them this same
hard, solid rock, from fifty to two
hundred feet high. Eight
miles below The Dalles, a
bluff 97 feet high, 250 feet
long, and from 35 to 25 feet
thick, was taken out with such
neatness that what remains is an
upright wall as regular as though
laid with square and plumb line.
"When the main blast was fired,
the scow containing tunneling ma
chinery lay a quarter of a mile be
low in a well sheltered cove. So
great was the concussion with the
water that the scow was raised
seven feet by the wave, and as the
swell receded, every rope by which
the scow was moored snapped like
a thread. Whenever an obstruc
tion is to be torn awaT, a small
tunnel high enough for a man to
work in, and half as wide, is made
at the base of the rock, and other
tunnels drilled at right angles with
the first. In these, black powder
is placed and ignited with a fuse,
the explosion shatters the solid
mass into pieces from the sie of
an egg to a barrel. The broken
stuff, of course, js removed by
hand. The largest blast on the
line was sent off at a rock point
ten miles above the Cascades, 1G5
feet high, 170 feet wide and seven
ty feet xhick at the base, and con
tained more than 40,000 cubic
yards. One thousand pounds of
Judson powder, equal to 20,000
pounds of black was used. It
was then ignited by electricity
from a battery half a mile away,
and in just about three seconds
after the circuit had been broken,
most of the enormous mass was in
the Columbia river. This is the
class of work all along the lino in
nearly every mile. However, stone
is little resislence to powder, and
gradually but surely a grade is be
ing established. And yet to look
at the bank fronra steamer in her
regular course near the opposite
shore, the work accomplished is al
most imperceptible. With nothing
except gigantic mountains in the
back ground by which to draw
comparisons, it seems insignificant
a skiff to the steamship Colum
bia, a pond to the Pacific occhii, a
star to the sun. In that grand pic
ture, the embankments and level
grades are no more thantriflingin
dentations, and specks and
scratches. After the preliminary
survey had been finished last
year, the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company found them
selves confronted with five tun
nels, two between Portland
and the Cascades, and three
between the Cascades and I he
Dalles. Permanent locations last
spring found a way to avoid
two of the bugbears to all rail
road builders who want to hurry a
road. Progress with tunnels thus
far has been satisfaetor' and quite
as fair as expected. No. One, 150
feet iong, is about nine miles be
low The Dalles, and is two-thirds
done. Like the others, it is nine
teen and a half feet high, fourteen
feet wide at the base and sixteen
feet at the spring of the arch.
Drilling is done entirely by steam
o-onerated on a scow moored in the
river fifty feet below, and eon
ducted through heavy hose. The
supply of steam is regulated br
the workmen with a valve which
is part 01 1 lie 01 111 macmnery.
During the day in bright weather
no artificial light beyond .1 few
candle is needed. At night IvSB
large locomotive headlights are
used, one pointing inward, ihe
other out. Holes are drilled vert
ically, horizontally, or at the an
gle required, and the blasting is
done with giant xwder. Work
goes en day and night, the men
having eight hour shifts. The ex
haust steam which can escape only
at the mouth of the tunnel renders
the place of work enliiely too
warm for comfort. No. Two, is
three miles below, In a little short
er than No. One. The motive
power for the drills is compressed
air, which is forced into a tank by
the two steam engines built foi
that purpose. All the machinery
is located on a scow three hund
red feet from the tunnel, and the
compressed air is conducted
through hose to the drills. The
use of compressed air does away
with the annoying exhaust of steam,
and the temperature is never hot.
A Brush electric machine is also
located on the scow and supplies
two lamps, one at the tunnels mouth
the other near the drillers, giving
an intensely brilliant light. No.
Three is situated four miles below
Rooster rock, and will be 550 feet
long. Early in the season it was
thought the tunnels would retard
completion of the road. Experi
ence so far indicates that No.
Three will be finished in advance
of the remainder of the work.
Building a grade is not everything.
It has to be held, and there are
two places that will give the com
pany much trouble for some time
after the road shall have been com
pleted. One of the mountains
near the Lower Cascades is sliding
into the river at the rate of about
twelve inches per year. Here is a
sample of its last notabie perform perferm
ance: A year ago when the orig
inal survey was made there, was a
cut of five feet through solid rock
at this point. When work was
commenced eight weeks ago, the
rock was found to have sunk four
and a half feet, and to have been
crushed into lumps smaller than a
mans fist. A portion of the road
built by the Oregon Steam Navi
gation company a few years ago
has sunk out of sight. Several
theories are advanced as to the
cause of sliding, the favorite one
being that the mountain rests on
shelving bed rock, and as the
strong curre.ntof the mighty river
washes away ib base the top slips
down, and the superincumbent
weight of earth and rock, three or
four thousand fejet high, crushed
the solid rock beneath. Whatever
may be the cause, the fact remains
that the mountain does slide.
At shell rock, twelve miles above
the Cascades, where the railroad
crosses The. Dalles wagon road, it
seems next to impossible to build
a grade that will hold without de
stroying the wagon load. Shell
rock is a mountain about three
thousand feet high covered with
small broken stone nearly to the
summit, and has a very steep,
regular slope. When any stone is
removed from below, that above
comes down, and keeps on coming.
Where the wagon road makes an
ascent, the railroad keeps to grade,
and of course is lower. In making
the latters embankment, the moun
tain covering is disturbed, slides,
and takes a ways the wagon road.
This has happened six times.
Now the company is building a
long wall of heavy stone, ten feet
high, to check the slide, and they
may be able to succeed. In one
place where the rocks come down
with unusual defiance, a wall has
been started 150 feet up the moun
tain, and nobody knows how much
deeper All space between the
small square stones is filled with
solid ice. This crushed rock is
just the size required for macad
amizing, and any enterprising
street contractor can secure enough
to improve every street is Port
land now laid out, or to be laid
for all time to come, and it won't
cost him a cent, pioviding he will
haul it away. The road will run
almost east from Portland and
touch the Columbia opposite
Washougal, about five miles below
Rooster rock and continue along
the bank for the entire distance to
"The Dalles. The mountain scenery
on the north side, will be in much
better view than from the river,
the delicate falls so much admired
will be a mile ncarei to travel
ers, and nothing will be missed by
tourists except a close view of
Cape-horn, hi return foj this loss,
they will lide within twenty feet
of the highest peaks of the Cascade
range, opjosite the present port
age, by far the grandest group to
be seen from the Columbia. The
maximum grade is twenty-six feet
to the mile. It will be a succes
.-iou of curves from The Dalles to
the Cascade.-, hardly one mile of
st might track at a stretch. The
maximum curves are ten degrees.
The grade is three feet above high
water mark of 1S7G, and on em
bankments still higher to allow for
settling. Trestle work will keep
pace with the other work,
so that ihe announcement of a
grade finished to The Dalles will
be followed very soon with news
of trains running there. The road
will be ballasted the entire distance
with gravel. Eighty-six miles is
the distance from Portland to The
Dalles by rail, and the road is esti
mated to cost 3,GOQ,000; nearly
42,000 per mile. Just when it
will be finished, depends on the
amount of human muscle that can
be secured. Three hundred white
men and 1,200 Chinese are now
emplo3'ed. The management still
need and can profitably employ
1,000 more men, whatever their
nationaiit' or color. If that ad
ditional number will go to work
for three months, the railroad will
be in operation by December next.

And the way that they make it has never
beea told.
That's a secret they keep and hold very dear.
For the whole country s drinking that
ALBANY BEER.
The brewery i Iun;e and the machinery is
fine,
And every order is sent to you right up to
time.
They get all kinds of orders from far and
from near.
And eerv one's healthy that drinks AL
BANY BEER.
For eery thing there looks so clean and so
neat.
And their beer Is so sparkling, it cannot be
beat.
H von arc feeling bad or the blues do appear.
You can drive them away by drinking AL
BANY BEElt.
I have an old father, who's now eighty-three.
And this Is the advice he gave unto me.
He spoke to me kindly with a voice bright
and clear :
"If you want to be healthy, driiik ALBANY
BEER."
Since then I have done so, and I'm hearty
and sound.
At the round age of fifty I can always be
found
At my daily lalor before the sun does appear
And each day and night I drink ALBANY
BEER.
ALso. on draught, THE CELEBRATED
BOCK BEER.
