the hand of real helpfulness and
brotherhood to Alaska" when he

Secretary Lane, group Of senators
and representatives and members OF
the Seattle chamber of commerce
stood beside the president as he af-
fixed his signature to the act which
passed both houses of congress by
substantial majorities. The president
was in a happy mood as he signed,
and In laying one souvenir pen aside
to use another smilingly remarked:
"Ill change engines"
When the bill had been signed the
president made brief speech.
Secretary Lane Immediately after.
ward had long talk with the presi-
dent about the selection of engineers
for the task. Although Colonel Goe-
thals had been mentioned for the
work it is unlikely that he will be
through with the Panama canal in
time for the present undertaking,
which Mr.. Lane intends to get into
operation at once.
The beginning Of the project will
signalize a new method of govern.
ment, a stimulus of opening of virgin
territory, contrast to the govern.
ment, bounties and guarantee Of
bonds which in the pioneer days of
the west were used by the federal
government to encourage railroads.

a survey of the project. But the
 first thing to do is to get the Government interested and get appropriated for the canal. The. proposed canal would have a width of about a 300 foot top which means that there would have to be an excavation of be- tween 17 and 20 million cubic yards of sand. If the jetty is necessary there is plenty of mat erial at hand for the building of good one as there is plenty of willows, rocks, and piling handy, but I believe that as there is very little Stikine current there that a good sand bank will be all that is necessary. The saving of time to the large steamers that cannot go through the Wrangell Narrows except on a very full tide and then as the passage is very small are in danger, will be one of the great savings, as they now have to go around Cape Decision which is much out of the way when the vessels are going to Jun eau. There is less than 20 feet ot water in Wrangell Narrows at loU tide, and there would be 8 feet of water in the proposed can al at low tide, which would make 1t possible for any ship on the Pacific Coast to go through the canal, and would mean much to the Government in the event of
