3 THE SUNDAY OHEGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 9, 1901. OPTOTHEGENERAL BOARD IT IS TO DECIDK ON LAKE WASH IXGTOX CANAL PROJECT. Probable That the Adveme neport . of the Majoritr "Will Be Con. cnrrcd In. 2WASHINGT0'Nr"Tuhe SI Because the special board which made an Investiga tion to determine the advisability of es tablishing a fresh-water basin In Lake tjashlngton, for the benefit of the Navy. Wis failed to make a decisive report, the Secretary of the Navy has enclosed the two reports to the General Board for de 5slon. It is evident from the tone of the Joint report that not one of the six officers comprising the board is willing to recommend the establishment of a na tal base on this lake. The ma'jorlty con tent themselves by asking If U Is advisa ble for the Navy to establish such a sta tion In q lake that Is connected with the Open sea by a mere canal which might easily be destroyed in time of war and render absolutely useless every vessel that might have taken refuge within the lake at the time. The majority further asks If It Is advisable to establish such a base across Puget Sound from the Bre rnerton station, already in operation, and Indicate the Inadvisabllity qf having two stations in one vicinity. The minority, the commandant at the Bremerton sta tion, and his chief constructor, eeem fear ful lest the establishment of such a naval station in Lake Washington might finally result In the abandonment of the Bre zncrton station altogether. While the opinion's expressed are non commlttal, it is found necessary to call fcpon the General Board for a decision, nnd In view of the strong 6howing made fcy the majority against the establish ment of a new station, and in view of a very weak report pointing out its ad vantages, the-probability would seem to be that an adverse report will finally be nanded down. The Navy Department Is Xlbt seeking means for destroying the ehips of our Navy, but rather of giving them every possible protection. A GIAXT NUGGET.
