ANOTHER RIVAL IN THE FIELD
Pacific Primacy of Harriman and
Hill Disputed.
MILWAUKEE ROAD BUTTS IN
UatiltiJe of the Task of Completing-
Mae to the Pacific Northwest
la Little More Tkaa
Throe Year.
Ths sxtant to which novelty has worn
off the enterprise of building a railroad to
the Paoirie coast Is shown In the moagro
Interest excited by the construction and
completion of the Milwaukee road's Pacific
extension. It . is the sixth of the great
transcontinental lines within the United
iau-i, and rivals in construction, engin
eering skill, and energy any of its prede
cessors. A writer In Putnam's Magaxine
tella many Interesting facts about this
great enterprise, the magnitude of the
task and Its cost. He says. In part:
About the ttma thla article moats the
eye of the reader possibly a little earlier
a l.tOO-mlle railroad will be in operation
that had no existence three years ago.
Fourteen hundred miles la some distance
about half again aa far as from Chicago to
New York and three years Is no great
stretch of time. Put the distance and the
time together and you will have a record
in railroad building.
Further, this new road erosaes three
mountain ranges and two large (not to
mention several small) rivers; and moun
tains and rivers are not conducive to ease
cr rapidity of railroad construction. At
Its highest point the road reaches (.350 feet
above sea level, and haa twenty miles of
bridges and thousands of feet of tunneling.
If you care for many more figure to
give an Idea of the magnitude of the under
taking, conalder theae: It required 100.000
tons of rails to build the road; 60.000.0oa
cubic yard of earth and rock were axca
vated: the coat was approximately (85,000.-
000, and it was built during a period of
financial depression when moat of ua. and
especially the great corporations, were cut
ting down expenses. . This last fact. It
should be said, had something to do with
the rapidity of construction.
The Start.
The road was begun April 18, 1S08. It
was In operation from Mobrldge, S. D., to
Butte, over half the distance to the coast,
In September, 1908; the last rail was laid
March 29. 1309, and the entire line will be
in operation about the time this Is pub
lished.
But not for through passenger traffic.
It will be quite useless to plan any through
trips for some time to come. The road la
aa perfectly constructed at possible, but
every new road la rough. The ballasting
is not completed, and the roadbed must be
given time to settle. There 'is an Innova
tion In waiting until everything Is In per
fect condition before putting on through
passenger trains, and the idea has much
to commend It from the company's point
of view.
The man who rldea on a new road. Im
mediately after completion usually ends by
remarking, with some heat, "Well, I'll be
hanged If I ever ride on that roller coaster
again! I had to strap myself Into my
berth." And the road gets a reputation
that Is quite undeserved, but that may,
nevertheleaa, stick to it for years. So
there will be no haste In putting on the
through trains In this case. It will be
freight first, then local passenger and then
through passenger.
Ptre IS at oral Objects.
Ths road croaaea the Missouri and Co
lumbia rtvers and the Rocky, Bitter Root
and Cascade mountain ranges, and theae
five obstacles naturally presented the
great problems of construction. The Mis
souri Is spanned by a 12.000,000 ateel bridge,
just west of Mobrldge. (Divide that name,
by the way. Into 'Mo' and 'bridge.' and you
will have the derivation.) The bridge Is
1.170 feet long, has a steel approach on one
side of 128 feet, and an approach that is 31
feet steel and 1.2&9 feet timber trestle on
the other. The timber trestle, of course,
is filled with earth and rock.
The Columbia river bridge cost much
lesa II8M.0OO). but it longer than the other,
having a total of 2.900 feet of steel work
and 1.623 feet of trestle. It required two
years to build thla bridge, ta it was under

construction during almost the entire time
that the rest of the road was being built
Twnnel 8, TBI Feet Losg.
The longest tunnel on the line Is the one
known as the St. Paul pass tunnel in the
Bitter Root mountains, which la 8.751 feet.
The St. Paul pass tunnel Is near Taft,
Mont., a town that will call for more ex
tended attention later. The tunnel was
worked from both end, of course, and so
perfect were the plans that the bores were
only 1-100 of an inch out of the way when
they came together. Two other tunnels,
of 2368 and 1148 feet,- respectively are in the
Rockies.
Considering these obstacles, the rapidity
of construction was truly remarkable. It
required about 10 years to build the Union
Paclflo and Central Pacific, which to
gether reach from Omaha to San Fran
cisco, and the distances that they cover
on this main line was not much greater
than that of the Chicago. Milwaukee A
Puget Sound. Furthermore, they had
every Incentive for rapid construction,
there being government subsides with
bonuses for speedy work. But this
more recent road, of course, while lack
ing government aid, had many other
advantages. For Instance, the Union-Central
Pacific was built from both end to
wards the middle. That was the best that
could be done at that time, as there was
no way of getting material to any Inter
mediate point. The Puget Sound road, on
the other hand, could forward material by
the Northern Pacific and begin building at
points in the middle, as well aa at each
end. And this is what It did.
Labor-Saving Devices Used.
Then, too, It bad facilities that were
altogether lacking in the earlier days; the
track-laying machine and other appliances
to do work that was formerly done by
hand; improved tools of all kinds, every
device that modern Invention has contri
buted for expedlous building. And It used
all the labor-saving devices. Fifteen years
ago a mile a day was considered rapid
track laying, but much of the space be
tween Mobrldge and Tacoma-Seattle was
covered at the rate of five milea a day.
"And the effect of the financial depres
sion must not be forgotten. At first glance
that would seem to Introduce another ob
stacle, but a second thought will show that
the trouble la merely to get needed casn.
If a man has It or can get It he can do
more at such a time than at any other; he
baa a clear field with ths shopkeeper or the
manufacturer or any one else whoa at
tention he desires to claim. They are
going to do just about the best they know
how for him, and do It In the quickest
possible time, and there will be a dosen ap
plicants for anything In the way of an
odd job that be wants done, when, at an
ether time, he might have to skirmish to
get it done at all. Well, that is a modest
Illustration of the position In which the
Puget Sound road found itself.
Belli at Opaortaae Tlaa.
"There could have been no better time
to secure quick work. It had the money
and was spending It $.000.000 of It at a
time when no one else was spending a
cent more than he could help. Labor was
plentiful, as it always is in times of de
pression. The road could not only get all
the labor It needed, but it could get the
best, and to be adle to pick your labor
obviously counts for much. In many simi
lar ways the corporation that was spend
ing this enormous sum reaped advantage.
So, having the money, the depression was
helpful rather than hurtful and contributed
much to the speed, record made. Still It
made the record, which is the main thing.
To return to the road itself, the reasons
for its building are naturally of Interest
and Importance. Railroads are not built
for sport, there must be paying traffic.
There Is much traffic in this northwest
country. But two roads the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern already run
through it to Puget sound; and when It
comes to the ocean trade reaching the
North Pacific coast, there is the Canadian
Pacific to be considered also. The new
line will be a scenic line, as Its route
shows. It passes through four Indian
reservations, many beautiful and fertile
valleys, and haa mountain scenery to
spare. But scenery does not attract
freight, and railroads profits do not lie In
passenger traffic alone. So wherein is
the excuse for the roadT
Xew Territory la Tapped.
Well, It passes through much new ter
ritorynew from a railroad point of view,
that is. It parallels the Northern Pa
cific for some distance, but the rest of the
way It has a territory that is pretty much
its own and to which settlers are already
flocking. By way of illustration: It be
gan operation as far as Butte, Mont,
last September and in March of this year
it carried 800 cars of Immigrants' movable
into that district
Immigrants for the sake of economy,
combine and charter entire cars when
moving their household goods sometimes
two and sometimes three or more families
using a single car. It has been estimated
that the average of these cars Is two and
a half families, which would be about
2,000 families for a single month, with
the road In operation of the possibilities
of new traffic, from 1,000 to L5O0 letters
of Inquiry from possible settlers are re
ceived at the main office in Chicago dally.
This takes no account of letters that go
to offices in other cities.
Another promt n new traffic lies In
the Indian reservations. These are ths
Standing Kock, Flathead, Cheyenne and
Coeur d'Alene. Indians do not produce
much traffic, but the reservations do, whne
opened for settlement
Shorten Dletaaeo to t'oaat.
The road haa two advantages that are
worthy of note: It shortens the railroad
distance between Chicago and Puget sound,
and It has easier grades. The latter point
Ls of the utmost importance In operation.
The highest grade on a division ls the
"ruling" grade on that division. In other
words, you cannot send over It a train
that Is heavier than the engine can drag
up the steepest grade, no matter how easy
the rest may be, so the grade counts much
In the economy of operation.
It has been customary In road build
ing, especially through the mountains, to
build rather roughly at first. The expens
wag bound to be heavy at beat, and this
not only reduced the firat coal, but was
also a saving in time. Furthermore, In
many cases the early traffic was sure to
be light and heavy grades and sharp
curves did not make so much difference
The main thing was te put the rvad
through and get it In operation. But In the
long run economy of operation beats econ
omy of construction.
A heavy grade means short trains or
extra engines at the difficult points and
these mean additional expense. Some of
the older roads had to spend much time
and money later In easing the grades and
straightening the curves, and it cost them
more than It would have cost to do this
in the first instance,
ANNALS OF INFANT PHENOMS
A Mluoirl Wonder RersJla Like
Powers la Youth and
Age.
An Associated Press dispatch from a
little place in Missouri noted a prodigy, a
J-months-old child, that had already begun
to talk. Infant phenomena of this kind are
not as rare as many may suppose. They
have appeared through all the centuries.
The annals of precocity present perhaps,
no more remarkable Instance than the
brief career of Christian Helnecker, born
at Lubeck February, 1T21. At the age of
10 months he could speak and repeat every
word which was said to him. When 12
months old he knew by heart the greater
part of the history of the Bible, both of
the Old and New testaments. In this
third year he could reply to most questions
on universal history. In the same year he
learned to speak Latin and French. In his
fourth year he employed himself in the
study of religion and the history of the
church. He was not only able to repeat
what be had read, but also to reason upon
It and express bis own judgment.
The king of Denmark, wishing to see thla
wonderful child, he was taken to Copen
hagen. There, examined before the court
he was proclaimed to be a wonder. On his
return home he learned to write, but his
constitution being weak, he shortly after
fell ill and died on June 27. 1726.
A dissertation was published at Lubeck
soon after the death of this child In which
it was attempted to account for bis early
development of intellect, or as perhaps
might better be said, of memory.
In recent years a remarkable example of
the development of memory was given. by
Hermann Llnde, a German, at the old
Bates house In Indianapolis, to which a
number of newspaper men and other citi
zens were Invited. Llnde was fresh from
Germany and was making a tour of this
country. He was a young man who from
his Infancy had been noted for a wonder
ful memory. He had studied English but a
year In his own country before coming
here and yet by mere force of memory re
peated to that little company at the Batea
house every word of the tragedy of Mac
beth from first to last including stage
directions, without halting for an Instant
for a word. But he had overtaxed his
powers and soon after his return to Ger
many was sent to a hospital for the insane.
When Bismarck was In power bis atten
tion was attracted to a German Jew who
was endowed with a phenomena! memory.
He knew the Talmud by heart and It was
said if one should stick a pin In a word
and give him the page and line he would,
without hesitation, at once quote In He
brew the entire paragraph or the entire
page, after daignaUng the word that had
