RALEIGH, APRIL 22, 1890.
OUR BIRTHDAY.
Today marks the 11th anniversary
in the existence of the Evksiso Vis
itor, and we therefore deem it not in
appropriate to make our bow to the
public, accompanied with a slight re
view of the past and our prospects
for the future.
When we first launched forth upon
the uncertain sea of public opinion,
we were not unaware of the difficul
ties that would naturally beset our
pathway, but, in view of the fact that
there was a general demand for an
evening daily at the capital of the
State, which would cater to the wants
of the public in matters of local in
terest, we laid aside all doubts. We
further believed, that a journal dives
ted of the entangling alliances of pol
itics would best serve the end in view.
To say that the progress of the
Visitor has been uninterrupted by
embarrsaesments would place the
matter in too strong alight. .We have
encountered difficulties, and, at times,
they seeemed to be insurmountable,
but, thanks to the leniency of a gen
erous public, they have been over
come, and, the Visitor is now one of
the fixed institutions of our beautiful
city, and, we believe on its way to
the attainment of most complete suc
cess. We do not intend to transcend the
bounds of modesty in the assertion
that the Visitor has net been mark
ed by any backward course. A gen
eral improvement of the paper has
been recently made which in our opin
ion, is much the better as pertains to
the size, general appearance and con
duct of the paper. In the tone of the
paper, as at first announced there has
been no material departure. We
have pursued the "even tenor of our
wdy" at all times, with the belief that
if we deserved support, we would
undoubtedly receive It.
Our past course, must, to a great
extent, be the ixdex of the future.
We have endeavored in our career to
conform to .strict impartiality in
dealing with the public. In our crit
icism of men and measures we have
"nothing extenuated or set down
aught in malice." We have hewn to
the line of strict justice, as we under
stand it and we will so continue.
We feel that we need no emphatic
declarations as to our devotion to the
interests of the people of Raleigh.
Our files, in this respect, speak our
vindication. Our feeble energies are
always at command to acquire what
ever of good we can for our beautiful
city.
.We cannot refrain, at this time, to
point what we consider the advan
tagea offered to the public in the way
of a channel for advertising. In this,
the Visitor claims the right to in
dulge in at least a particle of vanity.
We sincerely think there is no better
medium than our columns for men of
all shades of business, and we earn
estly solicit a continuous of the pa
tronnge that has been given us in the
past.
We cannot close this article with
out expressing 1 he utmost gratitude
to those kind friends who have so
long ; aii'ed us with their confidence
and esteem, and we pledge ourselves
to" renewed energy in the future in
order to merit and retain their kind
est wishes and substantial help.

GREAT RAILWAY TUNNEL
One of tbe Most Extensive En
gineering Projects of the
Century.
New York Times.
Six hundred men are now digging
the railroad tunnel under the 8t.
Clair river, at Port Huron, at the rate
of fifteen feet each day. This means
tjiat before the year is out one of the
most important pieces of civil engi
neering in the country will be com
pleted. More than 12,000 feet of the
tunnol proper is now readv for trains
on the Michigan side and 900 on the
Canadian. The remaining 4,000 feet
will be finished at a wonderfully
rapid rate, considering the nature of
the work, if no accident intervenes.
It has taken, six months to do tbe
work thus far, but workmen are now
more accustomed to the tafk and can
work with greater facility in the use
of the machinery, so that the engi
neers in charge place the completion
of the work not later than the end of
the year.
The tunnel itself is over 6,000 feet
long. The approaches are equally
long, so that the entire length will be
more than two miles. Of this dis
tance, ?,810 feet are under the river,
2,300 feet on the Michigan land side
and 2,100 on the Canadian. The
grade is one foot in every fifty, except
under the river bottom v here it is
substantially level, It is an iron
cylindar tunnel -the only one of the
kind in the country. There is neither
brick nor stone used in its construc
tion. Neither are there any stays or
supports simply a mammoth iron
tube bu'lt in tections underground.
It is designed for a single track.
Electric lights make it as light as
day, air engines ke9p the atmosphere
as healthy inside as above, and steam
pipes hold the temperature at the
proper point. It is as dry as a street
in summer, and the disagreeable
features common to subaqueos wofk
are entirely absent. Work is pushed
from both ends.
A Home Paper.
No paper can be published without
home patronage, and every man is
interested in keeping up a home
paper. If a railroad or factory is
wantel the newspapers are expected
to work for it. If a public meeting
is wanted for any purpose, the news
paper is called upon for a free notice.
If any of the societies have a supper
or reception of any kind the news
paper is expected to give the neces
sary notice. The newspaper must
puT the schools and everything else
to advance the interest of the busi
ness of the place, and then give them
a handsome notice when they pass
away. And yet some of them do
nothing to keep up a home paper.
