Slowly diminishing through subterranean channels, water of Crater lake., 1300 feot from tho Moffatt tunnel on the crest of tho continental divide aro leaking Into the great railroad bore, it has officially and scientifically been determined, according to authorities. The seepage which began through the rock scams in the eastern portal of the tunnel February 15, at the rate of 1G00 gallons a minute, has dwin dled to about 2G1 gallons a minute and tho lake today is nearly empty. This phenomenon has been without detriment to workers building the six inile tunnel through the heart of the Kocky mountains to provide faster trans-continental rail connection de spite nature's own barrier In the ex pansive mountain ranges. Tho flow of water into the tunnel Was at first believed, by workmen to have been caused by striking an un derground reservoir. Since February 3ft officials employed a scientific analysis with the result that chloride, of lime poured into the lnko '. has Beeped its way into the tunnol. Crater lake lies in a 'region covered with snow from ton to thirty : feet deep and stops must be taken, accord ing to officials, to stop the leaks be fore the spring thraw, lost the onrush of Crater lake's supply should too rapidly engulf the bore where several hundred workmen are engaged on the project. ,Work, however, has never been berlously hampered by the water. The slope or the tunnel provides a natural drainage system. .. Chairman W. P. Robinson of tho state Moffatt tunnel commission, has announced that crevices through which the water pours will be con creted or drains will bo constructed to carry the water away. Expense of stopping tho leaks would not bo huge, According to Mr. Robinson. 1 France Again By Torrential Rains PARIS, Mar. 5.
