VSAYS FIGHT HASN'T BEGUM Opposition Takes Form of Attack on Validity of Assessment, There Be ing o Warrant in. Law Seat tle Works for 300,000. SEATTLE. April 23. t Special, i "As to the Lake Washington Canal, we have not begun to fight," declared J. T. 3ves, vice-president and general-manager of the Stimson Mill Company, to day. "Although the rivers and har bors bill, as passed by the Senate, arrles an appropriation of $2,275,000 for the construction of a lock, the bill has yet to go to conference, and there is no absolute certainty that the canal paragraph will be retained. "Even if it should be, and the bill finally receive executive approval, the efforts of the Ballard millmen and 1 other opponents of this gigantic ' scheme will not be abated. We are go ' inn into the courts with our fight. It ' will be observed that the Federal ap propriation now being considered is ! Intended for a lock alone; the cost of : the excavating must be borne by the ; people of the improvement district, ' which comprises a large part of King County. "We propose to attack the validity of the assessment. We do not believe '. there is any warrant In law1 for the ex penditure" of vast sums for such a purpose: and we are convinced that ' when the people of the city and county understand fully that it is they who must pay the price, and that in re- tiirn they will get nothing except a .great trench that will disfigure the city, and Injure it beyond repair, there i'wIH be an overwhelming sentiment jagainst this so-called public improve iment. No Chances Being Taken. "The canal isn't constructed by long odds, and I'm not taking any &reat nances in predicting that it never will be." The effect of the proposed waterway .on traffic is Illustrated by a dlscus Islon In the City Council of a series of ' three bridges across the Narrows at lohilshole Bay. One of them is U'lanned for the Oregon & Washington '.Railroad, another for the Cireat North ern and the third for the city boule ;Vard. Since all the brTSges must be quipped with draws, the plan Is to build them parallel, and perfect ar rangements for working the three draws simultaneously, thereby form ifng but one obstruction to navigation. :Tne boulevard bridge will be a hun dred feet wide. Permission must be (obtained from the War Department Jjn the opinion of Major C. W. Kutz, HJnlted States Engineer, there will be iio objection, the two railroads having Already been granted permission to 'place their structures parallel. Discussion ot the canal has revived "The plan for larger spillways from "Lake Washington, and through them control of floods of the White, Black nd Duwamish Rivers. The matter has ...eon investigated oy County Com missioners A. L. Rutherford and M. J. Camgan, in connection with a com mittee from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Activity has been shown also by the Tacoma Cnamber of Cora, merce, which has called the attention of the War Department to the barrier erected by citizens of King County to . cast flood waters into the Stuck and the Puyallup, instead of the White, Black and Duwamish. A dam is located four miles south east of Auburn, and has just been re paired ny six carloads of cement and brush, forming what is believed to be an Impenetrable barrier. It diverts the waters Into the Stuck, which County Engineer J. R. Morrison says is the natural outlet. A Lake Wash ington spillway, which is expected to 'modify conditions materially, will be afforded by the big cut now made at I The portage between Union Bay and .Lake Union. Contractor C. J. Erlck i son has not yet reached the necessarv llepth for drainage. It is predicted by j County Commissioner Carrigan tha t !the present "dry cut'' in time will ob viate the danger of valley floods. Seattle Out to Kea-h .100,000. Seattle lias set out to show not less 'than 300,000 population at the census. !As the enumeration progresses there Is no relaxation or vigilance on the ipart of trie commercial organizations. The civic bureau, which is working in ! conjunction with the Chamber o. Com ; merce and Commercial Club, has dis tributed' r.00.000 blanks with the in junction to all citizens to "aid the cen sus man." The slogan everywhere is 300,000. It appears in the newspapers. jOn placards, and it. has been posted in jletters a foot high on bulletin boards jll over the city. Voluntary enum erators meet the outgoing and incom ing tra.ins and boats and on every band one hears the Injunction. "Help the census man; make It 300,000." If .Seattle does not secure the coveted .total, it will be because the people are .'not here. Public school teachers of Seattle have won a liard-fousht battle in having been granted an Increase of 10 per cent In salaries all olons the line. The effort to convince the Board of Education, which bos Just been successful, began months fo. The teachers discovered that high cost of living was not only playing havoc with Mielr incomes, "out that Seattle teachers were the most poorly paid of any on the Ooaet. The minimum high school salary here has been and the maximum S12.i0. The average salary, exclusive of heads ot departments, was $9S.fi2 per month.
