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. In
contrast with Seattle the minimum in
Portland is llrt. L. Angeles $1260 and
San Francisco $1620. The 10 per cent in
crease, which will apply to the entire
teaching corps in the city and be made
effective before the annual election of
teachers next month, will mean an in
crease of li mill in the tax levy on an
aesensed valuation of $186,000,000.
With,, one dissenting vote, the Seattle
Bar Association has indorsed Secretary
of the Interior R. A. Balllnger. and has
denounced charges- made by an Eastern
publication as "vicious and wanton" and
having no foundation In fact. The as
sociation expresses confidence in the per.

C0QUILLE TO EXPERIMENT
Station Will Determine Jfatnre of
Crops Best Suited to Soil.
M AJtSKFTELD, Or., April 23. (Spe
cial.) Realizing the great value of
their farming land, the people of Co
qullle Valley section of Coos County
are planning to open an experiment
station for the purpose of ascertaining
for the benefit of the farmers Just what
crops are best adapted to the locality.
William N. Russ, who owns several
hundred acres of bottom lands, has
agreed to give the nae of his land for the
purpose. It is balieved that the bottom
lands of the Coquille Valley are particu
larly well adapted for raising garden
truck and everything in the way of vege
tables will be planted.
It is possible that the Government or
the state will be asked to aid in the work.
While the State Agricultural College has
been of much assistance to the farmers1,
the land in the Coquille Valley is differ
ent from other parts of the state and re
quires especial attention.
It Is believed th'at crops which are con
fumed by the canneries can be profitably
grown and the development work at an
experiment station, it is hoped, will bring
about tho establishment of vegetable can
neries in the locality.

CROP REPORTS DISAGREE
Farmer Tleports Winter Damage;
Buyer Talks of Big Yield.
DAYTON, Wash., April 23. (Special.)
Columbia County will produce only
half a crop of grain this yar, accord
ing to George Spalinger, a large land
owner, living six miles west. Mr. Spal
inger said today that hundreds of acres
of Fall-sown grain, particularly in the
foothills, were frozen out last Win
ter and added that grain sown this
Spring is not stoollng well, the stand
being thin and the growth dwarfed.
Lack of favorable weather has delayed
Spring work so that the crop will be
later than usual.
Directly opposite to this statement Is
the estimate of H. B. Rldgley, grain
buyer for Corbett Bros. He said:
"I have Interviewed a large number
of farmers representing the different
localities In Columbia County, and find
that prospects were never better for a
bumper yield. This county will produce
a. larger crop than last year. Both
Spring and Fall wheat show a hardy
growth and an unusually larfre acre
age further enhances prospects."
