says the Seattle P.-I. Speaking Of the
project, he said: This canal scheme az
~xSked out by those interested should
appear TO almost anyone az won ierful

1t would require an expenditure Of be-

does not seem practical at this time. I

THE construction OF such canal
would be wonderful! thing for the cities
along it's route, and it would be the
making Of Olympia. This little city, so
far down the sound, ia considers bly,
handicapped at present, but should the
canal he constructed az suggested It
would be in an admirable position on the
chief route Of water transportation to the
ocean. The construction OF this canal is
Olympia's chief dream.
"Hoxever, should there be a project
OF this character ever undertaken, be-
lieve it should run from the sound 10 the
Columbia. Il could follow the Cowlitz
river far a great part of the way, and.
connecting with the Columbia, would
form a wonderful system for the whole
state. don't believe. though, that the
government will undertake any such
work for a great number Of years"
The survey Of the proposed canal was
authorized, if recommended by the en-
gineers, a. the last session OF congress,
although not originally sanctioned by
the house, where the bill FIRST appeared.
Chairman Burton, OF the rivers and har.
bors com nittee, has never favored this
undertaking. However, he consented to
let the survey 20 into the bill as an
amendment. but when it was brought
M on the floor others objected to il, and
/. was knocked out. The Washington
delegation, however, succeeded in getting
it included in the bill az reported from
the senate ommittee, and when it was
sent to conference it was allowed 70 re-
main. Mr.. Burton has declared the
scheme merely visionary.

DE ARMoND'S STORY.
According TO Mr. DE Almonds version
the episode arose over the question OF the
correctness OF a conversation between
himself and Mr.. Williams about 10 days
ago regarding the committee assignments
of some Missouri members. and particu-
larly OF Mr.. Booher.
Mr.. De Almond said he had spoken
highly OF Mr.. Booher and the other MEM
bers as being competent to sit on any
committee, but that he had not specified
TO Mr.. Williams any special committee on
which he would like TO have Mr.. Booher
or any other member placed. This Mr.. De
Almond said Mr.. Williams denied. saying
IL was a matter OF recollection between
them.
Upon Mr.. De Almond insisting that he
had not specified any committee or COM
mittees TO which he desired To have his
colleague assign, Mr.. Williams. he said.
brusquely repeated that il was simply
a matter of recollection between the two.
He said this" said Mr.. DE Almond,
lin such a way>as TO leave no further in
ference than the one l suggested. and /
told him I believed him to be a liar. He
thereupon struck me. and think ] gave
him as good. The next thing some one
caught my arm and we were separated" !"
While Mr.. Williams has for the last five
years held the place of minority leader. q
considerable element among the Demo-
cratic members has favored Mr.. DE Ar
mond for that position. There has been
more or less rivalry between them, but
the signs OF it have been more marked
among their following than in the men
themselves.
