(Special) The scheme of opening a canal from Baker's bay to Shoalwater bay haa again been revived, For many" ycfs more or less ha been aald about con tiectlng these two bays. It la juat si .bay to Baker-a bay and tha country la al most level with tow. boggy land tying n route. Several different routes tor i anal have been broached but now that Tariet slough la to ba opened the most feasible route seems to lay along this route, Tariet alough almost connects' the; two bays with a natural waterway which could be mado deep enough pass email river steamer with little cost. It runs from Jonaona (Black) take, lust a Quarter of a mile north this city, to th head vt Shoa water bay. Then a cut acrosa a small nag from this lake would let the canal empty Into Buker's bay with only distance of half a mil. : 7 In an Interview with Chief Engineer A. C. Murdock, who haa Juat completed the NorthernPaclflo survey from Sooth B-nd to the Columbia, about this canal, he said: - .; ' "I have jften wondered why such canal ha not been built and wondered th more elnce I have been over th Bear river country thoroughly in ma Ing this survey. It could be dug yery cheaply and when one water flow through it would ba widened by the action of the water itself. Tha current once secured would, to my Judgment, wah the sand out of Baker's bay and would also deepen the channel at the hMd nf Khoalwater bav. HI opinion Is, however, that th best route for the canal would not be to follow th old Tariet atough but cut across the country eaut of thl alough.

Tules grow over the marsh to a height of six to eight feet, and tall grass, all of which 1 dry, and aa the water ha been turned off for several week the sod I dry and burns like so much pack ed straw. Flame roll over the marsh and dens clouds of black smoke make the scene one never to ba forgotten. A gust of wind will sometime catch the flame and throw them a hundred feet to catch In the dry tule.
