STRAIT
SCHEME
Baker
City Doctor Would
Build Large Dam
Across It
"Whenever there Is a luh In the local
news market County Coronor Taylor
N. Snow may bo depended upon to fill
the vacancy says the Baker City Her
ald. Not long ago Dr. Snow announced
that he was hot on the trail of the
lovo microbe.
Tho newe of his researches In that
direction were sent out by special cor
respondents In Baker City to tho four
Comoro of tho earth, and Baker City
Kcgan to ass u mo a proud position In
the world of science. Maybe tho lovo
microbe was too elusive a sort of bug;
maybe deeper researches disproved
Its existence; at any rate nothing
came of tho bug, ami Dr. Snow de
voted himself to re-election as county
coroner.
Tho other day Dr. Snow buttonholed
mo editor or tho Herald and pro
pounded the query:
"What do you think of tho proposi
tion of damning tho Behring Strait?"
"Tho Herald has nothing particular
ly against Behring Strait," responded
fcko scribe; "but If you want to dam
tt, why dam It."
"Now, look hero," persisted tho doc
tor. "Bebrlng Strait Is tho channel
wwparatlng tho continents of Asia and
America, and connecting the North
porch. A dloso estimate of depth, face
and base of tho ram shows that It will
require about 82,949,000 perch, for a
dam 70 feet at tho base and 40 feet
at the top, and tho total cost would
not ai!ed one billion dollars. Such
a dam. If properly constructed, would
last forever, and the great advant
ages accruing would almost be past
computation. It would result in
keeping tho ice from tho North Pa
cific, and would thereby groatly re
duce tho danger of trans-Pacific navi
gation, as well as redusco tho dangers
of oleasters among whale and seal
flsWng fleets of the North. Also It
would prevent tho flooding of the
Alaskan coast In tho spring.
"Tho Ico front tho Yukon and Alas
kan rivers would melt as rapidly as it
I does from tho Columbia river In tho
Pacific ocean. Tho warm Japanese
current, flowing In a northeasterly dl
restlon, would melt tho Ico and vessels
would bo safe In Bebrlng Sea as in
Puget Sound.
"Tho vital Importance of building
such a dam, however, would be that
It would afford a connecting link be
tween two continents, making easy
and economical tho construction of a
railway to Siberia and through from
Now York to Paris. A railroad could
and will bo built along the Alaskan
coast to the mouth of the Yukon river
thence across Behring Strait, through
Siberia and to a connection with the
Russian trans-Siberian railroad. Such
a line would open up a new avenuo
of commerce In a new and old world,
and would afford an outlet for ono of
tho richest mineral territories on
earth.
"Tho Isthmian canal, which will cost
as much. If not more, will pale Into
yellow Insignificance when compared
with tho Behring dam, and Alaskan-
Slborlan railroad. Tho gold mines
