thing more than two million dollars

stood committed to the project; rival
schemes. counter propositions. pri-

OF the canal again and again, but
they have lost; Governors and United
States Senators have been elected up
on their pledge to further Seattle's
great desire.
But at last the greater part of the
battle is won, for under the terms of
the proposition submitted to the GOV
ernment, the city of Seattle and the
county of King will complete the
