Final plana have Just been completed for the entry of the Oregon A Waahlngton railroad Into Seattle and Tacoma, which as sures the success of one of the most Im portant railroad projecta ever undertaken in thla section.

For a different rea son the Harrlman englneere found It necea- ( ary to run their lines underground Into ; Tacoma as well. The grades of the route ! originally plotted for Tacoma were o j heavy that orders were Issued for the ur- i veying of a line that would avoid the rises ; tf Ta(.ma te1?,.!an!, ,hat an.. rond : from th- mM cr0M o cllm Tn decision of the engineers was not to climb ! at all. but to go under the city by a tun nel 8,7TO feet long.
