Th riv ets and harbor committee has Just directed th corps of army engineers to review the pows bilitiea of uch a project. Colo nel Richard Park, division en gineer, announce that th field survey will begtu shortly. Mouey counts for little these days where consideration of delens ar concerned so con gressional obsrvra believe there is a possibility the govern ment may go ahead with a canal which would link th region's two greatest pools of naviga tion. An inland waterway thus would stretch from Alaska to far up th Snake river in Idaho. It would be th longest such i passage on earth, extending a distance of nearly IgOO miles. Canal Rout Touxd To trace the rout of th pro posed "ditch" through South west Washington, Th Oregon iun and th Oregon State Mo tor a&AOcialion conducted on of tha motorlog tours that ar an annual feature of th travel season. Th canal has been Ingenious ly devised to take advantage of every bit o( help th Almighty has uttered. Wherever possible it uncs uilets, bays, lakes and other natural props. On lU main section, that between Puget sound and Oray harbor, the Chehalis river provides the principal artery. All that man must do is deepen th channel and put in lock., but th river furniKhes tha bulk of th effort. Motorlogging this rout Is an interesting drive and the roads ar good all th way. Th trip can be covered on a wide rect. angle, starting from Portland to Olympia over the conven tional route, and going from Olympia westward to Grays Harbor, then down the Washing ton coast and across titer mouth of th Columbia by terry to Astoria. Th possibilities of th water way ar prodigious. An inside passag already stretches from Alaska capital at Juneau to Puget sound. Then the Puget sound Columbia river canal would get boats and barges to Astoria. Bonneville's locks and pool are making navigation feasible all the way to Umatilla and Altai la. particularly since th C'elilo canal waa Improved early this year. Long Wateiway Possible Should congress approve th Umatilla dam, as th hous riv ers and harbors cornmitle re cently recommended, boats would be able to twist oft up th Suak river past Lewiston, all th way to Johnson's bar. This would mean a navigable waterway from almost the con tinental divide to Alaska. John son's bar la at th lower end of Hell's canyon and is directly below Hat point In th Wallowa mountains of Oregon. The canal between the Columbia and Puget sound would cost VJJ,9.!t,tM9. Th bulk of this amount would be spent on the sirutcn connecting Cray Harbor with Olympia, for here 12 locks would bu required with a toul lift of 0 foet. This would be ntii'unAary to gel boats back and forth over the peases through the Coastal mountain range. Rear Admiral Luther E. knowledge of th prohibition I effective for all boys of Cath-1 question. Her humorous and sa- :'lic faith in the archdiocese, tincal manner of address thrills The committee studies the con ditions of troops in Catholic churches, aids their progress, and develop way and means to make scouting and Its pro gram more efficient In their churches. Among those expected to at Homeward bound, the white motorloej car stopped at Megler to await the Astoria-bound ferry. Gregory. United State navy retired, claims that the project has national defense aspects which the country cannot afford to ignore. The waterway, he says, would be large enough tor half the vessels of the American fleet. Only the dreadnaughts and cruisers could not use at. Shore Batteries Aid Submarines, destroyers, tor pedo boats and other craft would be able to travel inland between the Cuiumbia and the sound, protected from any en emy iorce by the shore batteries at Port Stevens, Fort Columbia and ether strategic military posts. Two recent developments, ac cording to Admiral Gregory, add to th stature of the canal as a national deieuse enterprise. One is the immense expansion of the Bremerlon navy yards at Puget sound. "The proposed waterway would enhance Brem erton's value to the nation," he declares. The other develop ment Is the construction of two huge aluminum plants along tile Columbia river. Material from these plants could be transported speedily and cheap ly by water to the vast Hoeing aircraft factory in Seattle. Army engineers are review ing the proposed project now, and probably will report soon to the house of representatives. In th meanwhile, the drive along the canal route, v i a Olympia and Seaside, starling at either end, oilers a pleasant and varied week-end excursion. Perhaps in the noto-Jistunt future it can be negotiated by launch as well as by car. and entertains her hearers.
