THE COLUMBIA IMPROVEMENTS.
They Were Not sidetrackea by the
Lake Washington Canal.
Spokane Spokesman.

Spokane Spokesman.
The interview published in yesterday
Spokesman with Senator Allen sho,ad settle eff.
fectively the claim that the Columhza river was
sidetracked in the present congress 10y the effort
OF the delegation from this state t. obtain an
appropriation for the Lake Washiegton canal.
The senator shows that over &, 0O0,90 were ap-
propriated for the river, and that this money
was distributed from its mouth 70 the inter.
national boundary.
He shows that the canal at the Cascades has
now been ordered to be let a. . co,sfract for its
completion. SO that now the work will 60 on
continuously without delay and asithout the
need OF asking every session OF congress for Q
special appropriation.
He shows that the work at the Mouth of the
river Is to be opened; that 1t il to % improved
between Its mouth and Portland: that a danger.
Gus sand bar az or near Vancouver Is to be re-.
moved, and that the upper river is 80 be re.sur.
veyeo preliminary to demand fog appropria.
tions Tor Its future improvement Gle explains
why the ship railway failed, and thas II was in
no wise due to any other appropriations asked
for other Localities
Ii Eastern Washington gets &. coa, 900 for it's
great waterway at one session OF Congress, why
should 1t complain because another section Of
the state asks for $500, 600? Certafnly Eastern
"ashingtonians are satisfied to psrmlt other
sections obtaining something, the raors so that
King county never has had anything.
Tacoma too, is to have her reservation opened
at the next session, and this will add to her
strength and Importance. 1t will l:lt millions
OF dollars into the pockets of the Tacomans,
and Spokane is glad of 1t.
Ia view of these facts and figures vhy should
Eastern Washington make any fgnt on the
canal at Lake Washington? Is it lo.lcal? 10 il
right? II the result of building the canal will
be to Improve the shipping facilities of seattle,
SO much the better. Washington wants big
cities; 1t wants great seaports, and.st wants to
see Tacoma with the Puyallup rives improved,
because the prosperity of one section of the
state OF necessity helps the whole community,
II IN nothing else than that it kings more
money TO the state, increases the assessed value
oil the property in the state, and Consequently
lowers taxation.

thence, he said: "Unlsss you tell me just what
the row il about cannot get your divorce"
"Faithf' said the woman, ''if must tell you.
John 10 not the father of me last child" In
this case large part OF the blame is with the
one making the fuss II il somewhat 20 with
the Tacoma Ledger II hereafter the Ledger finds

hard to satisfy a. the man who wants something
mighty badly but who don't know what he
wants. Such people never have "a proposition
ready to hitch ONTO" and when given anything
are never contented. They put their friends In
q position to be damned If they do and to be
damned II they don't. We believe that some OF
the utterauces OF the Ledger over the canal
sound more like the insane drivel OF some super
electrified female than the calm sense of . busi-

TACOMA, Sept. A-[Special.1-F Frank
Raft says the cause of the arrest of Frank
c. Jenness, charged with issuing bogus
ticket rebate orders. is the result Of mis-
understanding with the American
Ticket Brokers' Association and also
local rivalry. Read d Co., of
Seattle, are said to have leased to Raiff &
Jenness an agency in this city on ac-
count of Read & Co.'S membership In tho
association. For this reason. it is said.
the association refused to settle its &C
counts with Jenness, and his arrest fol.
lowed. Jenness promises to bring suit for
