LONGEST RAIL TUNNEL
TO BORE STATE DIVIDE
IS WASHINGTON’S AIM
SEATTLE, June 30. (JP)—Citizens
of Washington, led by Judge Austin
E. Griffiths of this city, have formed
the Cascade Tunnel Association to
effect, with national, state and rail
road financially, the boring of a tun
nel 30 miles long linking the eastern
and western halves of their common
wealth.
This would be the longes-t tunnel in
the world. In Colorado the Moffat
Tunnel, six miles long, under the
Continental Divide, to carry trains
and automobiles, is more than half
built. In the Alps, the Simplon Tun
nel, 12% miles long, lor train only,
has one portal in Switzerland and
the other in Italy. Those two coun
tries built it.
The tunnel under the Cascade
Mountains, for transcontinental rail
ways, three of which have Puget
Sound terminal here was the second
great dream, of Gen. H. M. Chitten
den, who came to Seattle an army
district engineer and lived here until
his death in 1917.
General Chittenden broached the
idea of a ship canal, linking Lakes
Union, within Seattle, and Washing
ton, on the city’s inland margin, with
Puget Sound and thus thru the
Strait of Juan de Fuca with the
Pacific and other oceans of the world.
Constructed with the aid of the Uni
ted States government, the Lake
1 Washington Ship Canal has been in
service a decade.
Completion of the canal assured
i General Chittenden brought forward
j the idea of the Cascade Tunnel. The
I work of agitation, which death stay
led, Judge Griffiths has taken up, an
| nouncing that to it he would devote
| all his spare time from .the Superior
' Court bench.
Based on expenditures for the Con
naught Tunnel of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway, thru the Selkirk Range
in the Canadian Rockies, completed
about the time of his death, the cost
of the Cascade Tunnel was put by
General Chittenden at $52,000,000.
The Cascade Tunnel, as advocated
by Chittenden and Griffiths, would
be 30 feet wide and, at the crown of
the arch, 25% feet high.
Mme. Suzanne Despres, French
actress, refused membership in the
Legion of Honor thru dislike of
publicity. But her refusal got her
more publicity than would have fol
lowed her acceptance.
The Pathfinder declared that Mrs.
Nora Gavaghan of Washington lost
a purse containing $15 and when
she found it a few hours later it
had nearly $100 in it. Now you tell
one.
Cross word puzzlers ought to be
far enough advanced by this time
to solve some of our murder mys
teries.

dirty work of the city, but with our modern
machinery and competent help we have tak
en pleasure in lightening the burden on the

ter you will appreciate our service.
