The excessive cost of the project as shown by the engineers es- inmates was due mainly to the exist ence of the prominent barrier between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi valley This chief obstacle to the pros ecution of the project has been removed by the drainage canal.
 According to estimates based on recent surveys by United States en gineers the work remaining to be done in order to complete the deep waaer- ways channel to St. Louis will cost thirty-one million dollars.
 In conjunction with the deep water enterprise from St. Louis northward 1t becomes a matter of great importance that provisions should be made by congress for work of such substan- tiaI character to the lower river as to give fixedness to the channel and sta- bility to the caving banks. the accom- pIishment of which is necessarily the basis of any plan for a permanent es- tablishment of a deep waterway.

The val leys of the White. Cedar. Green, Stuck and Black rivers. are under water flooding 200 square miles of territory This includes practically every acre of lowland lying between the eastern shore of the sound and extending to Seattle and Tacoma. The power plant is submerged. and Seattle and Tacoma are dependent upon local stations for power to move cars and provide cleo tric lights. The local plants. however. have fuel enough to operate several days.
 All traffic on the Northern Pacific and the Tacoma, and Seattle interur- ban lines is at a standstill. A week will be required to repair the damage to the road after the water subsidies. The lowlands are thickly occupied by small towns, hop fields. and dairies. The damage done to the fields run into hundreds of thousands of dollars and the people will be without milk for several days.

 No rain fell in the flooded districts since early Thursday morning. The feeling throughout the valleys today is that the worst is over. So far as known. but five deaths are directly att tributable to the floods north of the Stuck river.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The annual meeting at Bennings under the aus . pices of the Washington Jockey Club. opened today under conditions that promise little profit to the packers of the meeting. The recent decision af- fecting the bookmakers compelled all bettors to seek investment among men wearing badges and having no station ary location for business and therefore light business was done.
 Under these conditions short prices were offered and a comparatively small amount of money changed hands. The attendance was the smallest in recent years. Many bookmakers announced their intention of abandoning business during the meeting.
