OLYMPAGRAyS HARR0R CANAL
WILL BE SURVEYED This YEAR
CONGRESS INCLUDES APPROPRIATION FOE SURVEY OF SHIP
CANAL. ADVOCATED FOR DTn,ERS
CITY-COsT ESTIMATED ss5oooooo--M4Nl ARGUMENTS
ADCANtED IN FAVOR

Definite progress toward the reaii-
cation OF long cherished dream IS
seen by many old-time residents Of
Olympia in the fact that there is in
cluded in the congressional appropria-
ton of $33.000,000 for rivers and
harbors improvement in the United
States and insular possessions an item
providing money for a preliminary
survey of the proposed deep water
ship canal from GrayS Harbor to
Olympia, project that has been
actively championed by number of
Olympia citizens for years.
This proposed waterway has many
advocates, who present innumerable
arguments not only upon its feasibil-
ity but also as to it's practicability.
On the latter score it is urged that
such a waterway would shorten the
route between Seattle and various
as Honolulu something like Eli miles.
or practically one days sailing radius
for most Of the coastwise vessels call
ing at Puget Sound ports.
Another argument advanced in ad-
vocacy of the canal is that it would
afford two entrances to the big gov
eminent naval base at Bremerton.
thus doubly insuring egress and ep-
trance to that place. 1t is also as
serted that such a canal could be
much more securely fortified than are
the Straits of Juan de Fuca, since 1t
would be entirely within the territory
Of the United States. whereas the
northern shore of the present en-
trance to the Sound is British terri
tory.
Would BE Commercial Asset.
Aside from the military value OF
such a canal its advocates dwell ma
terially and forcibly upon the com
mercial benefit of such , waterway,
II Is estimated that the shortening Of
the route to San Francisco and other
Pacific ports would save to steamship
operators the cost of the project In Z
space Of time estimated at between
ave and ten years. Tho cost Of the
canal 10 estimated at $35,000.O0O.
Advocates Of the project assert that
the idea IL entirely practicable. The
sentative route they have selected for
the project parallels the Chehalis
river to . point near the town Of

where the route is 10 extend due east
to Black lake TEis lake is between
seven ana ten miles long, forming,
so ii is claimed, an opportunity for
the construction OF \ turning basin
if included as a unit III the canal
From this lake the project, accord
ing to its advocates, would encounter
in extending the canal to Puget Sound
at or lear Olympia, the most difficult
portion of the construction work
This is due to the hilly country ada
cent and west OF Olympia, It is
argued, however, that none of these
cuts would be any more difficult OF
excavation than were the cuts en-
countered in the construction of the
Panama canal.
Length Forty Miles.
The route from Malone or between
that point and Porter, however, are
not the only points suggested after
leaving the Chehalis river, for a bet
ter route is said to exist by diverging
from that crooked stream at a point
near Elma, thence east to Sine, pass
Ting near Hillgrove and thence into
ThurstOn county and Black lake. The
entire length of the canal project is
estimated to be less than 40 miles.
Advocates of the project also assert
that once connected with Puget Sound
the matter OF putting the waters of
that body into navigable condition be.
tween Tacoma and Olympia is small
matter. The removal of few sand
bars and rocky distractions at sew
eral points would make it possible
for the largest of merchant ships to
visit this city.
But Two Locks Required.
While the project has not yet been
| vised by engineers it is ASSERTED that
such a ship canal could be construct.
ed and that but two marine locks
would be required to bring the vessels
from Grays Harbor to Puget Sound
Another matter that would require
the attention Of the engineers in the
construction Of the project is thu
tides. When low tide prevails at Sc
attic or even at Olympia, 1t is vir
tually high tide at Grats Harbor
though this need not necessarily at
feet the progress Of vessels through
the canal proper.
Larger sized ships. however, would
likely have to select approximate ne
RODS for negotiating the connecting
waterway in order to arrive at one
end or the other when q reasonable
high tide was prevalent. This would
especially affect heavily laden ship.
Of the larger type.
Advocates Of the project are en-
thusiastic. When told by skeptic,
