FOREST LONG UNDER WATER
submerged Pe&rified Trees That Must
Be Centuries Old Removed as
Menace to Navigation.

When the government ship canal
that connects Puget sound with Lake
Washington was opened, the waters Of
the lake were lowered IL feet. While
wire-dragging the lake, says con-
tributor, the United States coast and
'geodetic survey discovered subma-
rine forest. The tops Of the sub
merged trees were SO close to the sur
face that they were menace to nav.
igation. Underwater logging opera
tions to clear the lake were there
fore started.
1t is thought that the forest is pre-
historic, a remnant Of one that grew
In the Lake Washington area in the
days when 1t was dry land; or that
great landsldes In remote ages car
ried the trees into the lake.
The trees were without branches
and stood vertical, or nearly so; they
were semipetrfied. The longest trunk
removed was 121 feet 6 inches. The
top, 10 inches thick, rose to within 4
feet Of the surface of the lake. The
butt was 5 feet inches in diameter,
and the roots, firmly embedded in the
bottom Of the lake. had 2O-foot
spread. 1t was found 1900 feet from
the shore.
Off the south end Of Mercer island.
In Lake Washington, nearly hundred
trees were destroyed. The cleanup
gave count Of more than q hundred
trunks during the first three months
OF 1920, off Manitou point. The larg-
est trunk in that area stood In 121 feet
Of water, LOO feet from shore The
tree was III feet long, with 5-inch
top and a 3-foot butt.
Wherever possible, the trees were
pulled out by the roots. FaStenings
were made to the trunks by dragging
the blight Of Il cable through the water
at the required depth. When the
blight touched the trunk, one end OF
the cable was passed through an eye
at the other end, and the loop formed
was run down to the trees. When the
trees were hauled up, they were cut
into 1-fOot sections and thrown back
into the lake. Since they were water
logged, thcy Immediately sank.
Sometimes Il trunk WAS caught that
could not be uproOtCd. Such trees
were blasted Off at the top until YES
sells could pass safely above them.
An idea of the extent Of the submerged
forest ana the difficulty Of removing
the towering ancient trccS may be de
tcrmincd by the time three YEARS and
six monthSthut it has taken the on
gnccring corps, working steadily, to
make the lake safe for navigation.-

MILLION DOLLAR
BAND COMING HERE

The American Legion Post of this
city has decided to give the people a
real musical treat in the near future.
Edgar Fisher Post has secured the
services of the famous "Million Dol
lar Band" that made such wonderful
record over in France. The enter
tainment is to be put on on the eve
ming of May 31st, and will be in the
nature of Memorial Day concert and
under the auspices of
this post. The boys thought that a
nice, quiet concert Of this character
would be fitting climax for that day.
The band is a splendid organization
and will be under the leadership Of
Prof. Harold Bachmann, who went
with the organization as leader to
France during the war and where the
band was greeted with so much en-
thusiasm. The features of the con-
cert will be Robert Bruce, the Indian
cornetist, one Of the finest cornet play
ers in the country. Erling Sodahl,
violinist, is another artist on the vio-
lin. Miss Julie Brurer, soprano So
loist, will also appear on the pro-
gram. The committee in charge of
arrangements plan to. make this en-
tertainment one we'll worth your pa
tronage and it will be given in the
Chautauqua Auditorium.
