Finally we find that even the Pacific coast

connected With one another. and q small shat

Union into Puget Sound. The Legislature OF
the state OF Washington has presented a me-
mortal TO congress recommending the eoustruc-
ton OF ship canal connecting these three
lakes with the waters of Puge, sound. "Such &
ship canal" Gays tha memorial, would confer
benefits beyond measure upon commerce, the
city OF Seattle and the commonwealth
of Washington" As the largest OF the
three lakes, Lake Washington is four miles wide
and about thirty miles in length, with depth
varying from 50 to SOD feet ana the levels are
