ly to vote $500,000 worth OF forty
year bonds, which, if allowed by the
voters of the county, will be taken up
by Mr.. Moore and associates, and the
money used for the construction of the
canal. Additional funds which will
be needed over and above that which
is to be furnished by the county will
be provided by the steel manufacture
ing company. The bill as passed by
the United States government calls
for the beginning of work on the wa

For years past Mr.. Moore has be-
lieved that the city of Seattle should
have a steel plant; that such an in
dustry would prove profitable for it's
operators and would be an immensely
important factor in the industrial de-
velopment of the northwest. For Mr.
Moore to conceive plan which he
believes in means for him to accom-
plish it, and he returned from trip
among eastern capitalists in position
to announce that he had secured the
backing for million dollar steel plant

at some point on Puget Sound. After
thoroughly looking over the field and
inspecting the various sites that were
offered, the town of Kirkland, on the
shores of Lake Washington, was fin.
ally selected as the location for his
big plant, provided that the company
which was to construct the plant
should be assured that the Lake Wash
ington canal would be completed so
that the plant would be connected by
a waterway with Puget Sound. The
people of King county were asked to
vote 100000 in bonds to be taken by
the steel company for the purpose of
constructing the canal, which, when
completed, is to be turned over to the
government. The United States gov
ernment in turn was asked to au-
thorize it's construction by James A.

WHAT ITS NFL LUENCE WILL BE
BY DANIEL L. PRATT

Moore and King county. The readers
of The Ranch are familiar with the
recent history of the case, of how Mr..
Moore and former Governor Nc
Graw, president of the Seattle Cham
Der of Commerce, almost during the
last hours of the present session of
Congress, managed to have a bill
passed by both houses and signed by
the president, authorizing the construc-
ton of the canal as proposed.
All that is now needed to assure the
completion of this great waterway is
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-07-01
THE LAKE WASHINGTON CANAL

or more in width at the top; that it
will be a first-class canal in every
respect, and of sufficient capacity to
meet all present requirements.
81 do not think" said Mr. Moore,
"that the people of King county real
ize fully what the completion of this
canal means to them. Do they appre-
ciate that there are thousands of acres
of the finest agricultural land in the
world now covered by the shore wa
ters of Lake Washington, which, when
the lake is lowered seven feet, will be
available for agriculture? Experience
in other parts of the state of Washing
ton proves that these lands, which
have once been covered by water, are,
when drained off, the most fertile and
productive in the world. Many thou
sands of acres of land-it is impossible
to estimate just how much-are now
lying only few feet under the sur
face of the lake. There are immense
tracts in different parts of the lake
that are little more than swamp land
and when the canal is through and the
lake is drained, these will be uncov-
cred, and the farmers of King county
ed to the present tillable area, which,
when under cultivation, will add hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to the
value of the county's annual agricul-
tural production Then there are the
farm lands in the valleys of the Du-
vanish and White rivers There are
no more fertile tracts of land in the
west than these, and they should be
immensely valuable because of their
fertility and the accessibility to large
and profitable markets. Values have
been held down, however, owing to
the fact that on several occasions Lake
Washington has been so high that the
waters from the lake backed up into
the White and the Duwamish rivers
and flooded these lands, destroying
thousands of dollars worth of crops.
AS long as there is a possibility OF
these floods recurring, the values of
these valley lands will be low, as
farmers do not care to take the chance
of having their crops destroyed by
flood. When the lake is drained sew
en- feet by the canal, however, the oc-
currence of these floods will become an
imposssibility, and thousands of acres
VI IulS valley ldHu VIII Do 0uOIuOuSly
enhanced in value.
"The opening up of these new farm
lands means a great increase in popu-
lation and increase in population
means an expansion of markets for
the farmers of the northwest. l pre-
dict that many thousands of people
will be added to the population of
King county as the direct result of
the Lake Washington canal. Many
hundreds more will be brought in by
the opportunities for employment at
the great steel plant which will be
built at Kirkland, and by the many
kindred factories which must of a
necessity locate there.
"a greater commerce will be cre-
ated for Puget Sound and especially
for the city of Seattle. The shores of
Lakes Washington and Union will be-
come deep waterfront property where
large steamships may load their car

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-07-01

virile citizens of Seattle, King
county and the state of Washington
have been ardently bent in it's behalf;
after the question of 'to be or not to
be" has been made the issue in a great
state political campaign; after money
and brains and effort have all been
combined in many potent but futile
attempt to overcome the inertia and
move to activity the pOnderouS incubus
of the United States government, the
Lake Washington canal will finally
be constructed as result of the efforts
of James A. Moore, and within three
years the citizens of King county will
be enjoying the immense advantages
which will accrue from it's existence.
Influences will then be set to work
which will eventually make Seattle
one of the greatest seapOrtS of the
world; thousands of acres of the rich
est agricultural lands in the west
will be drained and made fit for agri-
culture; the value of thousands of 9TH
er acres in two fertile river basins
will be greatly enhanced, and the
great increase in population in the af-
fected districts resulting from these
benefits will create vastly greater
market for all the farm products Of
the state of Washington.
The Lake Washington canal is
thing which is not merely for Seattle.
1t means development and greater
wealth for the entire northwest. It's
advantages are so great, its benefits
will be so widefelt, that the United
States government has been interest
ed in it for many years, and the best
engineers and the Shrewdest of dis
interested statesmen have acknOWl-
edged the wisdom of it's conception,
and the practicability of it's eventual
construction by the government; but
the pulling power of the Washington
delegation has never seemed great
enough to obtain federal action and
secure the actual construction of the
waterway.
1t remained for James A. Moore,
backed by private enterprise, to bring
things to their present crucial point,
and to lay the plans and make the ac-
QUESTIONS that are finally to turn the
uncertain prospects of many years
into actual realization. 1t has remained
for Mr.. Moore to attempt and to sue
cessfully accomplish a number OF
things in the northwest that other men
were too conservative and lacked the
nerve to undertake. He opened the
Hotel Washington after it had, as the
Hotel Denny, been idle for number
of years because no one had the nerve
to attempt to open it in the face OF
pesssimistic ventures that it could
never be successfully operated as a
hostelry; and since the opening day
the Hotel Washington has been one of
the most profitable hotel properties
in the west. He converted timber
covered, stumpy and seemingly remote
wilderness into one of Seattle's most
slightly and elegant resident districts.
These things, and more, has this typ
ical western man undertaken and sue
cessfully accomplished, and it seems
entirely fitting that he should be the
one to give the northwest, after these
many years, the real Lake Washington
canal
