l the demand for cheaper transportation.
In spite of the apparent lethargy4of the
maritime powers, national and local, in
awakening to the situation of port re-
quirements, the size and draught of YES
sells are still increasing.
"a detail of navigation requirements
not often referred to is the depth needed
under YES sells in the entrance channels.
A ship moving at even low speed, say g.
knots an hour, will have a greater
draught than in deep water. AS is said
in nautical language, she 'squats.' The
water between her and the bed of the
channel is driven out, and often the ship
will actually drag on the bottom, while
if stationary there would be foot and
half of water under the keel In the
entrance channels of New York harbor
this is we'll known fact. For this rea-
son alone, to say nothing of the usual
requirement of considerable space be-
tween the ships keel and the bottom
due to vertical movement of the ship in
seaway, there should be not less than
three and half feet in the entrance
channels between the deepest draught
vessels and the bed of the channel.
"The ports of the world must meet the
commercial requirements of the age BY
marked and continual enlargement of
facilities, and those who control thein
policy should study carefully the re-
quirements OF steamships and, looking
to the future, lay their plans adequately
and wisely to meet these ever increasing
requirements"
Data collected by Mr.. Corthell to show
what is being done to provide suitable
depth of water for larger vessels shows
that there are 1888 ports which now have
depth Of entrance channel Of less than
thirty feet at low water, and 70 which
have depth of more than thirty feet.
When all the channels are deepened as
now proposed, the number having more
than thirty feet in the channels at low
water will be increased to 81. Ninety
FIVE ports now have less than thirty feet
OF water in the entrance channels at high
water, and 113 have more than thirty
feet When improvements now under
way are completed the number having
more than thirty feet at high water will
be 1856.
The most fortunate port in the United
States in this respect is Tacoma, where
the entrance channel is five hundred feet
deep and the depth at the wharves is
forty to forty-eight feet Seattle comes
next with a channel two hundred feet
deep and a depth at the wharves of
thirty-seven to fourty-four feet New
York will be third when the Ambrose
channel is completed to give depth of
forty feet at mean low water, and New
Orleans will be fourth with a depth Of
thirty-6ve feet

SPOKANE'S THEATERS
"A Message From Mars"

Oftentimes some of the most con-
vincing truths are most forciDly placed
before the mind in plays presented
upon the stage. The greater the truth
the more convincing is the play. The
great comedy, "A Message from Mars,
with David Proctor as the star, will be
seen at Spokane in the Spokane thea
tire two nights, Friday and Saturday,
June 18th and 18th. One of the many
virtues this comedy Is said to pos
sess is, that it deals with the truth.
Mark Twain claims that nothing can
be funnier than the honest truth 1t
is, as he says, so unexpected. "a Mes
sage from Mars" has the reputation OF
being one of the most cleverly con
structed comedies that has ever been
given to the stage. The great truth
brought out in this play is in fact
sermon delivered in opposition to ex
IRENE selfshness.

be preserved by the Chamber of Com
MERGE and placed in a prominent loca-
ton in Spokane where tourists and

"Prince karIo at the Columbia.

A pretentious production is that Of
Archibald Gunter's prince Karl"
which will be given during this week
by the Byron Douglas company at the
Columbia theatre. Though it is a
laugh from beginning to end, it is by
no means farce, it's dramatic situa-
lions being of intense interest.
The story deals with the adventures
of Prince Karl Won Arhmien, prince of
the German empire, penniless noble
man, who, in the beginning of the COM
edy, to get rid of his debts, announces
that he will commit suicide. He dis
appears suddenly, and reappears in the
assumed character of his foster broth
err, accepting the position of courier to
Mrs. Florence Lowell, rich young
widow. In the guise of the courier
Prince Karl has number of amusing
experiences, which contribute greatly
to the interest of the play.
A Chicago lawyer comes to Germany
in search of an heir to a fortune, and
his investigations result in the discov
cry that the money which Mrs. Lowell
believes to be her own is really the
property of Prince Karl. AS soon as
the latter discovers this he promptly
writes will that bequeaths the money
all back to the woman he has learned
to love and who has learned to love
him, but she discovers this fact ani
learns that the bogus foster brother is
the real prince, and the piece closes
with the young couple well advanced
on the matrimonial road.
