Today in
Washington History
ny DONALD A. CRAIG.

January 3, 183f.-By action of the
City Council of Washington today the
City Canal is to be purchased by the
local government with borrowed
money, in addition to an appropriation
by Congress, and II Ia proposed to 20
deeper into debt to widen IL. 1t is in
tended that the City Canal, when
widened and deepened. shall become
the real terminus of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Canal coming down from the
western mountains This canal will
bring boats laden with coal, grain and
other produce through Georgetown
and into the City of Washington.
where 1t will let them down by lock
into basin near Seventeenth and b
streets, and thence into the entrance
OF the City Canal.
The extension of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Canal from the foot of Little
Falls to Georgetown. and thence
through that town to Washington
City will add 100000 to It's cost, be.
sides an additional outlay on the part
of both Washington and Alexandria;
for the canal, instead Of ending at
Washington, Is to be brought by the
enterprise of the citizens of Alexan.
dria directly to their doors. It will
be taken across the Potomac River
on an aqueduct at Georgetown, and
thence along the Virginia shore to
the municipal limits of Alexandria,
with an outlet there into the river.
Congress Is expected to spend $3.50.
900 to aid in building the city Canal,
which will probably cost. when nm.
lshed, more than $500. 900. 1t is esti.
mated that the extension Of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal to Alexandria
will cost $1250,000. These are enor.
nous sums, but the people believe they
are justified in view of the commerce
which the canals will bring here.

Aspirations for the New Year
BY LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

| let's us glimpse vistas of hoped-for
accomplishments.
1t is while we see the fresh vision
| of new year that II Is well for
| us to realize our opportunities, and
to shake off the discouragements that
may have hampered us in the months
| now passed.
Most Of us have ideas we want to
put into action, work that we long
| to accomplish, plans that we cherish,
but have not begun to carry out.
II Is difficult to imagine a home.
maker without these aspirations,
Some Of them refer to the things
she hopes to do for her family. some
pertain to the home itself, and some
to her own self: but whatever they
are, they are worthy--otherwise they
would not be aspirations, for the
word itself means to reach upward"
With these thoughts must come the
appreciation that accomplishment can
be possible Someway, somehow, or we
are beaten before we start, held back
by our own fears. No one does any
thing progressively without feeling
certain assurance within himself or
herself that success Is within the
bounds of possibility. No one can in.
spire faith in accomplishment who
this faith. And SO we must begin the
work of the new year with the belief
that what we aspire TO in any line can
be furthered IL we do our part wisely.
This is a CHEEKY idea. and there is
nothing that helps work along more
than a cheerful outlook. 1t seems to
act like a boomerang to bring back
TO us the cheerful response of others.

element of cheer into 1t herself. Then

ly. sometimes with surprising ra.
