SHIP CANAL PROJECT
PLAN TO CONNECT PUGET SOUND
AND LAKE WASHINGTON.
Dream Of Residents Of Seattle, WASH,
May Soon Be Realized-Cost Of -,
Waterway Estimated at
Nearly $s,Ooo,o0o.

Seattle, Wash.-A ship canal, con-
Meeting the waters of Puget sound
and Lake Washington, project which
has for two decades been the dream
of the people Of Seattle, will become a
reality, if bill introduced in the
house becomes a law. This canal
scheme, which ia about one-eighth Of
the magnitude of the project on the
isthmus of Panama, has repeatedly
been examined by boards of engineers
of the United States army, and was de-
sc7ibed as Fascinating to the imagin-
alton" Several boards have, how
ever, reported against it as a river
and harbor enterprise to be authorized
by congress, since in the absence of
water way there is no demand of
commerce" to justify the expenditure.
The latest estimate of cost for a canal
80 feet deep was nearly $8,0OO,000.
The bill introduced merely asks con-
gress for the use of the right of way
which was acquired by the federal
government from King county several
years ago, and for the maintenance
of the water way after it is completed
by private enterprise. A group Of
eastern capitalists propose to establish
a large steel manufacturing plant on
Lake Washington, and they offer to
build the canal and take their chances
of being remuneratsd for the expendi-
ture by the vote of the citizens of the
county.
Lake Washington is situated only
four or five miles from tide water, and
the greater part of the city of Seattle
is situated between the lake and the
sound. Also between Lake Washing
ton and the sound is Lake Union, a
smaller body of water of great depth.
Lake Washington is % miles long,
and is SO deep as to admit, upon the
completion of the canal, of the largest
ocean going steamships in the world.
The navjes of all nations could find
anchor in this fresh water basin. The
Seattle people expect that manufac-
turing establishments will spring up
on the shore of the lake. and that the
extension of the city to the northward
and eastward will experience tre-
mendous growth within the next few
years.

Railroads Hit BACK,

CHICAGO. Jan. IA dispatch to
the Record Herald from Dallas, Tex,
says: John G. Hunter, secretary of
the Dallas Commercial club, All
nounced yesterday that the proposed
visit OF Texas commercial clubs to
northern and eastern cities has been
abandoned because of the high rates
demanded by eastern railroads to
carry the party and he declared the
railways had adopted this means as a
club against advocates OF railway
rate Legislation. He asserted the
roads did not wish te have the Texas
men visit Washington at this time,
as was proposed. because many of
them were pronounced advocates of
rate legislation. Commercial bodies
OF several Texas cities were to have
taken the trip, all plans for which had
been made in the belief that the roads
would grant satisfactory rates.

Emil Servich, q wealthy Russian re.
cluse, residing At Silver Lake, N. Y,

Servich limits the choice to New

a Democratic Rate Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l5.-The dem.
ocratic members of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce have prepared a railroad
rate bill, which will be introduced to-
morrow. The bill is q comprehensive
measure, dealing with all Of the ques.
tions involved in the subject. Its
essential difference from what is un.
derstood to be the majority measure,
the bill Of Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa, is
that instead Of using the interstate
commerce commission to fix a
"maximum rate" in accordance with
the specific recommend alton of Presi.
dent Roosevelt, the rate to be fixed
shall be a reasonable one. It forbids
the commission increasing any rate
which has been fixed and published as
as such by any railroad.
1t authorizes the rate fixed by the
commission to be reviewed by the
courts only when 1t is shown that such
rate does not enable the carrier to
realize q fair profit on the capital
actually invested In the road, or where
the commission has exceeded its power
In fixing the rate, making it coufisca.
tory.
The rate, when fixed by the commits.
sion, is to become operative within SC
days, and Is not to be Get aside except
by order of the court of final resort.
The bill makes no changes either il
the salaries or in the number of the
commission a. now constituted,
