THE HUDSON
RIVER TUNNELS.
The people of Georgia tako a
special pride in those triumphs
of < ngineeritig skill, tho Hud
son river tunnels, the first of
which has just been opened to
the public with impressivo core
mot ies.
William G. McAdoo, the pro
moter m d president of the en
terprise, is not only a Georgian,
hut was born in our sister city of
Marietta. He lifts been a resi
dent of New York for 16 years,
more than six years of which
time he has devoted to the great
work which is now ncaringjcom-
pletlen.
More than thirty years the first
effort to construct a tunnel be
neath ahe Hudson was undertak
en by D. G. Haskin, one of the
. blest oivil engineers of his time
but when the bed of the river
had been penetrated about
twelve hundred feet the com
pany failed and the work had to
be abondoned. Later . on an
English company took up the
work and carried the tunnel
eighteen hundred feetfartner be
fore the money was exhausted.
It remained for a southern
man, and a Georgian, to take vi
gorous hold of the enterprise and
carry it to completion.
The present project consists of
two tunnels, of two tubes each,
one crossing from Hotoken to
Christopher street and the other
from Jersey City to Oortlandt
street.
It is the former of these two
which has been opened by the
president with ceremonies which
inclnded speeches by the govern
ors of New York and New Jer
Bey. The south tunnel will be
o| e led for business later on in
the present year.
The first official train passed
under the river Monday after
noon, and at midnight Tuesday
regular schedules for the general
public were inaugurated, with
five minute headway. The trip
from one terminus to the other
requires about ten minutes, but
the actual passage under the riv
er requires only about three
minutes.
It goes without taying that
these new families for interurban
travel will do much to relieve
the congestion in New York and
will earn good returns on the six
ty millions of dollars which the
enterprise has cost.
As President Roosevelt said in
his letter of congratulations read
at the opening of the tunnel
New Jersey is brought three
miles nearer New York, in point
of time, with all the advantages
which this would signify.
Consider in all itB bearings,the
Hudson river system of tunnels
may be regarded as the greatest
enterprise of tho kind ever un
dertaken. It is conceded to be
greater triumph of engineering
skill than any of the Alpine tun
nels which have long been
garded as among the wonders of
the world.
We have good reasons to be
proud of the distinguished and
energetic Georgian who has exe
cuted a project which has been
under way more or less contin
ously for the past thirty years,
and the whole country is proud
of the position she now occupies
in the vanguard of of engineer
.ng skill.—Atlanta Journal

“One of tho queer characters of
Independence some years ago,” said
an old resident of that town the
other day, “wns an old fellow whose
most treasured possession was ft
six pounder cannon. On all festive
occasions he hauled this forth to
the town squaro and celebrated
noisily as long as the powder last
ed. fine Fourth of July ho wns feel
ing unusually patriotic nnd cram
med the ancient piece of ordnance
with such a heavy charge that it
burst. Tho old fellow was for a
time overwhelmed by this disaster
and sat. down with his elbows on his
knees nnd his chin in his hands and
stared gloomily at the fragments.
After awhile ho shook his head ns if
♦ ho mnttor were beyond his compre
hension and muttered:
“Well, it’s domed funny! The
thing never did that before!”—

A year ago Dr. Sill, of Wor
cester, Mass., aged 82, had pre
sentiment that he would die in
six months. He was well-to-do.
So firmly did he believe that ho
had only six months to live that
he gave away all of his property
and money to charitable institu
tions and personal friends, re
serving only enough to last him
until the time of his prospective
death. v But he didn’t die; and,
failing tyo shullle off, he found
himself penniless. And, being
penniless, his friends and the
charitable institutions that he
had loaded with his bounty de
clined to do anyt 1 ing for him, so
the old man was the other day
earned to the county poorhouse
where, while awaiting death as a
charge upon the community, he
will have time to contemplate
his own stupidity and the ingrati
tude of his beneficiaries.

The milk industry is perhaps
the only industry in the United
States wlucfi represents invest
ments exceeding $500,000,000that
is not controlleed from a central
source. Its very nature renders
such control impossible. At the
same time no industry is more
vital in its influence upon the na
tion’s health. This fact is evi
denced by the investigation of
the milk question beiug conduct
ed by the government which may
and is likely to extend over many
months. It is believed that when
congress passes a pure-milk law
it will be sufficiently drastio in
its provisions to prove a material
aid in hastening the day when
pure milk will be a matter of
course rather than a matter of
conscience.

It's Wagon ttiisdom that prompts a farmer to
select a Weber Wagon. He knows that the 61 years
experience in wagon building which stands behind
every wagon is a guarantee that when he buys a
Weber he buys the highest quality. Sixty-one years
of wagon building have resulted in the Weber wagon
