SEATTLE TO HAVE
 UNIQUE CEREMONY
 FOR JULY FOURTH

SEATTLE, June B. Tomorrow the Lake Washington Canal Will De formally accepted by the United States government and opened. War ships are here to participate Tn the ceremonies and the general Fourth of July celebration Will center around this achievement.
 The completion of the Lake Wash ington Canal fulfills an ambition cherished by Seattle since Gen. Geo. D. Mcclellan in 1856, as a govern ment engineer, recommended to the Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis, the construction of a waterway con meeting Lake Washington through Lake Union with Puget Sound. In 1890 the government surveyed the canal route from salt water on Se- attle's west shore line to fresh wa ter on the eastern city boundary. Later the citizens acquired the right-of-way and presented 1t to the government. In 1910 the gov ernment appropriated $2,275,0 900 to build the locks, and in November, 1911, excavation began at the ex- pense of city, county and state. Since then, 4,000,OO0 yards of dirt have been dredged and 290,O00 yards of concrete used in the locks and other needed construction. The total cost of the canal, including risht-of-way, excavation, locks and other features, was $5,O00,0O0 borne by the government, state, county and city. New bridges, sewer and water tunnels, changing street grades and property elevations greatly added to the burden of ex- pense cheerfully borne by the com. munity.
 The Canal is about eight miles long from Puget Sound to Lake Washington. It adds more than ninety miles to Seattle's waterfront age and gives access for ocean ship, ping to the non-tidal fresh water harbors of Lake Union, in the heart of the city, and Lake Washington twenty-five miles long and foul U1lltS Wlut, OH LhC Coot bOuhueAA , of Seattle. The right-of-way is 1900 feet wide, the channel 100 feet wide, and the depth 36 feet. The locks are capable of lifting larger vessels than any government locks outside the Panama Canal. They are at the Puget Sound entrance oi the canal and form the only barrier between the fresh water lakes, nine feet above Puget Sound at high tide and salt water The concrete walls are 55 feet high, 50 feet wide at the base, and feet at the top. The major chamber is 825 feet long 80 feet wide, and holds depth ol 50 feet of water. The minor cham Der is 150 feet long and 30 feet wide Ocean-going craft go through the larger chamber in twenty min utes and small craft through the smaller chamber in five to ten min utes.

NO ISSUE OF THE
 EMPIRE TOMORROW

In order that those who make The Empire may join the other citizens of Juneau in appropriate observance of the Fourth of July there will be no issue of The Empire tomorrow.
 Until year or so ago IL was the custom of the Juneau newspapers not to issue on holidays. At that time the cable office was closed on holl- days as well as the public Of fices, business houses and other sources of news. When the cable office began disre- garding holidays, The Empire also ceased except for the two big ones-Fourth of July and Christmas. These holidays are so generally observed through out the United States that there is little klnS ac- tivity anywhere. Therefore, with practically all news sources shut off on those days there seems no good req son why the newspaper mak- CTS should not celebrate the Nations birthday and that or Christianity the Fourth or July and Christmas.
 In the event that any big news shall occur anywhere in the world tomorrow 1t Will De bulletined at The Empire office.

laration of war, was exporting as many as 10000 colors, shades, tints, etc., whereas it was necessary for the American manufacturers to limit their products to fewer than 200.
 The convention is expected to de- vote some attention to the advanced processes in chemistry which have made the asphyxiating gases, and which applied liquid fire to the on slaughts of armies. However, the most of the addresses, papers and discussions will deal with the advance of commercial chemistry. In this branch of the business there arc many important problems that are still in the solving period, and not only is the interest of the chemists of the coun- try centercd upon discussions which will be held during the three days sessions, but there are many who are awaiting the results of the meeting for the furtherance of their business and manufacture,

American Society Studying Asphyxiating Gases and

Boston, Mass. Sept. 10.-Ad- vanced theories and formulas for the preservation of by-products and for the making of munitions as we'll as latest developments in medicinal reme- dies, disinfectants, dyes and dyestuffs are to be discussed by the American Chemical society at it's fifty-fifth an- nual convention which began in this city today.
 Although many chemists of the United States are busily engaged with war orders, it is expected that at least a thousand members of the society will participate in the conven- tion proceedings. It is the first large gathering of chemical engineers and experts held since the beginning of the war and since the present great development of the chemical business in the United States.
 Additional interest is attached to the convention by the fact that the country must depend for much of it's success in the war upon chemicals and the speakers and the members will represent the 30,00O chemical en- gineers in the country, who have mo- bilized for government service, and who will try to find means to beat the enemy.
 The war has put the chemical in dustry in the United States on it's feet. The increasing importance of chemical manufacture here began when German importations ceased. Not only were stocks quickly depleted, but the chemical manufacturers in in the United States were not equip ped either with machinery or with practical workmen, nor even many of the raw goods, to begin manufacture for many months.
 The convention marks a period of enormous advance in the industry whose production, including dyes, is still far behind the demand. One problem needs a solution-the fact that Germany, at the time of the dec
