Long Tunnel Being Built.

One of the longest railroad tunnels on the American continent is now under construction by the Canadian Pacific railroad in the Selkirk range of British Columbia. The tunnel, to be known as the Rogers Pass tunnel, will be five miles long, and will cost $lO,000,000. The famous Hoosac tunnel is four and three-quarters miles in length. The new tunnel, which is 29 feet wide and 23 feet high, will shorten the route four miles.
