acy y } SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1929 -_ TUNNEL DEDICATION SPEECHES, PROGRAM BROADCAST TONIGHT Great Northern Runs First Train Through Eight-Mile Cas- cade Tunnel Seattle, Jan. 12—(4)—The nation will listen over the radio to the dedi- catory program tonight when the first scheduled train pulls through the longest railway tunnel in Amer- ica—the Great Northern railway's 8- mile bore through the Cascades in Western Washington. 3) from Washington the president-elect, Herbert Hoover, will head the list of notable speakers who will go on the air: over the nation- wide hookup. General W. W. Atter- bury, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, speaks from Philadelphia, orchestral numbers will be broadcast from New York, and Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink will sing from San Francisco. At the bore itself, Ralph Bydd, president of the Great Northern, will deliver a radio address from Berne, a tiny hamlet>at the eastern portal of the $14,000,000 project. <A brief program at Berne will precede the passing of the first official train bear the tunnel. At the western portal, passengers will disembark for a banquet, and L. G.. Gilman, vice president of the railroad, Governor Roland Hartley of | Dry. Washington and others will make brief radio addreases. The tunnel, the fifth longest in the world and considered the finest of its time, was built in three years. Pre- viously five years was good time for such @ project. Unlike the four European tunnels which surpass it in length, and the Moffat bore through the continental divide in Colorado, its American rival, the Cascade is lined from end to end with walls of concrete two feet thick. It eliminates 18 miles of the wind- ing. track and six miles of snow sheds and cuts 500 feet from the height to which trains had to climb to pass through a now discarded three mile tunnel. With affiliated projects the bore cost the railroad company $25,000,- 000. Twenty miles of track was straightened and 75 miles of road, in- cluding the tunnel, was electrified. The elimination of the snow sheds alone will save the railway $600,000 @ year in maintenance costs. Freight schedules will be shortened by three hours and passenger sched- sit by from one to one and a half ours. ———___ DEBATE IS ARRANGED Grand Forks, N.

BISMARCK TRIBUNE BUSINESS CONDITION GOOD IN NORTHWEST Merchants Trust Company, St. Paul, Predicts Good Feeling — St. Paul, Jan. 12—(P)—In th> northwest business sentiment un- doubtedly is more cheerful than it has been for some time, says the Merchants Trust company in its weekly review today. Mercantile agencies report that vol- ume of sales to rural districts is run- ning well ahead of a year ago and that orders for the future are cis- tinctly sing. The agricultural situation plays an important part in the prosperity of the northwest. The general situation is good notwithstanding the fact that wheat prices are at the low point since 1924. Each year there has been a growing production of dairy products in the diversified farming sections of Minnesota and other states in this territory, In recent months income from dairy products has been running 12 per cent. and more ahead of the corresponding Periods of 1927. One of the most en- couraging features of the situation is that in spite of increased production, it is not exceeding the demand. The amount of butter in storage in De-| cember was less than a year ago or! the five-year average, indicating that the dairying industry is far from the} point of over-production.
