 LOCAL HIGHWAY
Fritz Cove Section of Glac- fer Highway Is Opened
 Today to Traffic

Final inspection of the Fritz Cove section of Glacier Highway was made yesterday by M. D. Williams, District Engineer, U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, and the job was approved and accepted by him. The section was opened today for traf- fife.
 The road has been used to a limited extent for sometime by property owners whose holdings are adjacent to it. MT. Williams ls- sued caution to the public today regarding it's use.
 Due to the fact" he said, that the surfacing has just recently been put in place, there are a number of soft spots. Drivers are cautioned to drive slowly and carefully until it has settled under traffic. It is a one-way road with the turn around at the Fritz Cove end and users are urged not to attempt to turn along the route.

Xenia Kashevaroff, who was talk en south by her mother some time ago to enter the Orthopedic Hos pital in Seattle for treatment to her knee, is doing splendidly, ac- cording to her father, the Rev.

 Mrs. Kashevaroff plans to leave Seattle for San Francisco soon, to visit her son, Cyril Kashevaroff and her daughter, Mrs. H. E. Webber Mrs. Webber will drive with her mother back to Seattle later in the month, when Miss Natalia Kashevaroff, who has been study ing at the Cornish School in Se- attle, will leave for San Francisco to take up her studies under a teacher in that city.

THE CHICAGO CASE
AND SWIFT RIVER

One OF the most famous OF cases
before the U. s. Supreme Court dur
ing the present decade was that
arising out Of the diversion Of Great
Lakes waters by the city OF Chicago.
The verdict Of the high tribunal Is
somewhat difficult to understand:
Chicago won a victory from one
standpoint and lost from another
standpoint. The secretary Of war.
who permitted Chicago to withdraw
water, was upheld; but this permit
il temporary in character, and the
court ordered the Chicago sanitary
district to proceed a. expcditiously
az possible to dispose its sewage In
a manner az not to require diversion
of water from Lake Michigan for
sanitation purposes. But the power
of Congress was recognized by the
court to increase the volume OF di-
version eventually to the present
amount or more IL it is desired to
aid navigation in the Lakes to the
Gulf waterway.
It seems to be a sort Of Pyrrhic
victory all around. We rather think
that the ultimate victory lies with
Chicago. and not with the states
which opposed the diversion Of wa
ter. The use Of lake water for sani-
tation and the Lakes to Gulf water
way is so bound up that what di-
verts for the one purpose neces-
sarily aids the other; or putting it
another way. the lake levels are as
likely to be reduced through the
waterway project as through Chi
cago drainage needs. The other lake
ports will suffer either way.
Benedict NJ. Holden, acting as
special counsel for Connecticut in
the states opposition to the diver
sion of water from the Connecticut
river through the Swift river pro-
ject In Massachusetts. must be quite
enthused In that part OF the Chicago
decision which laid down the prin-
ciple that Chicago was not entitled
to lower the lake levels. II the
western metropolis must cease re-
ducing the levels for sanitation pur-
poses-after the government per-
nit has run out-then the same
principle applies to Massachusetts,
holds Holden.
We are not AZ certain about 1t al
Attorney Holden. Law is a peculiar
animal, and what holds good once
doesn't seem to hold good at some
other point in an argument. Massa'
chusetts claims 1t II necessary to di
vert the Swift river for drinking
