GIANT UNDERTAKING IN NEW
YORK. WILL TAKE 20 YEARS
TO COMPLETE IT.
NEW YORK.—Death by drowing
or dynamite—these are chief among
the dangers facing the men who are
dredging the East river to Long
Island sound that New York may
may have another deep sea passage
to the Atlantic.
How this undertaking, which will
require fifteen to twentv vears and
an expenditure of $55,000,000 to
$75,000,000, is being carried on was
told here by officials of the dredging
company which is doing the work.
“Most of the work must be done
during the slack water veriod at the
change of the tides, as there is
generally from 500 to 1,000 pounds
of dynamite aboard each drill boat
the danger of being rammed by pass
ing craft and sent to the bottom is
complicated with the possibility of
being blown into the air,” one offi
cial said.
¢ “In Hell Gate we are demolishing
Frying Pan reef, which is 480 by 360
feet. From eight to ten months will
be required to complete this task. A
drill boat is being warped across it in
parallel paths thirty feet apart, drill
ing holes into which from 100 to 150
pounds of dynamite is packed and ex
ploded. A dipper dredge following
the drill boat loads the blasted rock
into scows for dumping into holes
seventy-five feet or more in the river.
This leveling of the river bottom re
moves the source, of eddies, smooth
ing the current.
Know as Wicked Spot.
“Pot Rock, another reef in Hell
Gate, will be destroved next. Be
cause of treacherous currents for‘
which it is responsible Pot Rock is
known as the wickedest spot inl
American waters. ‘
“The longest slack water period
registered in Hell Gate during the
last forty years was twenty-three
minutes. It is within that slack peri
od that drilling points must be locat- |
ed, charges planted and fired and the]
position of the plant changed. Di\'ors!
on this work are generally unable to |
spend more than fifteen minutes un-f
der water at a time. so that they|
work but half an hour in a twenty
four hour day.

River to the sound was first under
taken forty years ago to provide
New York harbor with an entrance
which would not require continuous
dredging like Ambrose channel,
where five government dredges are
constantly removin< the infiltrating
sands. Flood Rock in Hell Gate was
then removed and some lesser werk
accomplished before the appropria
tion was exhausted.”
When Flood Rock was blasted a
charge of 100,000 pounds of dyna
mite was fired, the official said.
Launches on the river a mile away
were lifted three feet -out of the
water, but no damage resulted. °
ITINIEST RAILROAD DOES
| $BOO,OOO, BUSINESS
Is a One Man Road and Its Receipts
in a Year Are Nearly One
| Million Dollars.
| SPOKANE, Wash.—Railroad gen
leral managers sometimes descend to
| manula labor long enough to drive a
silver spike into the ‘“last rail.”
But O. R. Moore, general manager
of the Spokane Valley & Northern
Railroad, switches cars, tamps ties
and gives the engineers highballs—
no, not the kind you mean—as a
regular thing.
The road is very nearly the small
' ost standard road in the United
States. It is 5.4 miles long, cost.
$500,000 and was built in 155 days,
setting a record, Equipment: One
engine, one box car, one flat car.
Stations: Four—one box car, swiped
from a Great Northern wreck, two
‘sign posts, and one wide place in the
‘road.
Passengers are allowed to "ride
from one end of the road to the
other—in the caboose—for 30 cents.
Moore is ticket and freight agent,
baggage smasher and conductor, |
The road did $BOO,OOO worth of
business last year, however, and
Moore isn’t worrying about the I. C.
C. or freight car shortages. |
And as for the Plum plan— i
“Plumb? Who's he?”’ asked the ver
satile Mr. Moore. ’
POPULATION OF RANDOLPH |

The census report shows that the
population of Randolph county is 16,-

The population of Cuthbert is 3,-
022, a decrease of 188, or 6.2 per |

ported to be 1,074. o

MOTOR TRUCK LINES
COMPANY IS DELIVERING ITS
PRODUCTS IN A RADIUS OF
SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES.
“Truckportation,”—new terminolo
gy for freight hauling by pneumati
cally equipped motor trucks—has
been given tremendcus impetus in the
east by the establishment of five long
distance motor truck routes by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
branch at Philadelphia, Pa., to give
speedy and regular deliveries of prod
ucts to its service stations.
So successful has this motor truck
service been during a year of opera
tion that an extension is proposed
by having the newly developed truck
portation lines act as feeders to the
trolley express service in counties
near Philadelphia where poor roads
will not allow trucks to make deliv
eries. But this combination method
one-day express delivery service will
be assured in every county in Penn
sylvania.
More than 70 per cent of all distri
bution from the company’s Phila
delphia branch is now made by these
truckportation lines aproximately
500,000 pounds of merchandise being
transported each month. As rapidly
as possible the service will be extend
ed to eventually distribute 95 per cent
of all products sold from this branch.
The longest truckportation route is
340 miles, covering nine cities between
Philadelphia and Reading. The pneu
matic trucks are given an opportunity
to show their capabilities on the steep
| grades over the mountains. More
than 40 communities are served on the
three-day trip.
One-day trips of from 110 to 165
imiles are made weekly to other cities
as far away as Wilmington, Harris
burg and Allentown, but the proposed
line into northern Pennsylvania, cov
ering 425 miles in four days, is the
most ambitious truckportation effort
ever made with the exception of the
company’s all-year-round Akron-Bos
ton line and the transcontinental fec
ord of 13 days and five hours for the
3,451 miles between Los Angeles and
New York, with arrival in Manhggtan
with the original California air in all
four tires.
The new truckportation lines out of
Philadelphia, where the plan was
tried out first, have run on train-lik:
schedules since their inception. The
company’s service stations are certain
as just what time the truck may be
expected to roll up to their doors.
Actual performance figures of the
pneumatically-equipped trucks on
these lines show that an average speed
of 18 miles an hour is maintainéd—
practically touring car speed.
So frequent are the inquiries receiv
ed from Philadelphia trucking com
panies for information about hauling
costs and road conditions from actual
demonstration and observation by
Goodyear truckateers that the com
pany plans to create truckportation
service bureaus to furnish the public
with this data in all branch cities as
rapidly as new truck lines are estab
lished in each. .
AND GOTHAM IS NOT
SO WISE AFTER ALL
200,000 New Yorkers Cannot Read
or Write According to New
Census Statistics.
NEW YORK.—“Smart Alec” New
York is really illiterate New York,
as the federal census has just re
vealed,
There ate 200,000 persons above
the age of 21 in Manhattan and the
Bronx who cannot read or write
English. Figures for other boroughs
have not yet been compiled. Of
course, a number of these so-called
“illiterates” are educated in their
own language.
To counteract this a ‘go-to
school” drive is being planned by the
municipal board of educaticn, acting
in cooperation with the state de
partment of education.
“Tlliteracy maps” of the city have
been carefully prepared. These are
large-scale and show a black®dot for
every illiterate person. The dots are
thickest on the lower East Side, in
Harlem and the Bronx.

ORIGINATOR OF ICE CREAM
”» ’
SODA” IS GREEN'S EPITAPH
The Will of Discoverer of a Popular
Drink Provides for Inscription
On Hie Tomb.
The late Robert M. Green, head of
the firm of Roberf M. Green & Sons,
manufacturer of soda water foun
tains, who died on May 21 at Balti
more and who is credited .with hav
ing made the first ice cream soda, is
to have that fact inscribed on his
tombstone.
This is decreed in the will of Mr.
Green. A clause in the writing di
rects that a monument shall be erect
ed over his grave, upon which shall
be inscribed his name, date of birth,
and this line:
“Originator of Ice Cream Soda.”
It is said that Mr. Green, upward
of fifty years ago, was employed in
the old building which stood on the
site of the Wannamaker store at
Thirteenth and Chestnut streets,
Philadelphia, and one day while dis
pensing cooling drinks in that estab
lishment he dropped a quantity of
ice cream into a glass of soda water,
which proved so refreshing that he
irduced others to partake of the
beverage, and the drink became
popular. Mr. Green afterward -en
saged in the business of manufactur
ing soda water fountains, .
Mr. J. A. White Savs “If You Have
An Autcmobile, Keep Rat-Snap.” .
"~ “If T knew about RAT-SNAP last
wintfer would have saved $l2O. My
car was in the garage for a few
weeks during bad weather; when 1
went to take it out, found that rats
had eaten great heles in two new
tires. Got them later with RAT
SNAP.” Three sizes, 35¢c, 65¢, $1.25.
