SEATTLE, July Seattle is
holding a double celebration to-
day.
Not even the tremendous ma
tional significance of this Fourth
of July can dwarf for Seattle peo-
pie the local significance of the
opening of the Lake Washington
canal, conceived so years ago and
officially dedicated today in the
presence of many Of the men who
have worked for it during a large
part of the last half century.
All morning the boats have
been gathering in the outer end
of the government locks in Salmon
bay, in readiness for the marine
pageant, when at 1880 they will
follow Peary's famous old explor-
ing ship Roosevelt in stately pro-
cession through the locks and the

The 2nd infantry regimental

tunes and troop b and coast ar
tillerymen fell in line at the head
OF thousands Of marching citizens,

G.. Wheeler of The Times
staff out of years growth
Tuesday afternoon.
When the goddess and her party
visited The Times plant on their
tour of the city, the editor had
the misfortune to be absent, and
a call was sent to the editorial
rooms for somebody else.
Wheeler, all unsuspecting the
nature of the occasion, clattered
obligingly downstairs in shirt
sleeves, with his hat in the pro-
per newspaper position on the
back of his head.
Now Wheeler is a bashful man.
He can face an enraged official
about whom he has written a
funny story; he can beard legis-
lature in ITS den after he has told
the truth about it; but he turns
pink and stammers when he asks
young lady for particulars of a
church entertainment over the
telephone; and IL she says some
thing nice to him, just to put him
