PROJECT UNDER
WAYFORCHAJN
THREECANALS
HOQUIAM, Wash., June 11 (by As
sociated Press).—Construction of a
chain of three canals, to connect
Puget sound with the Columbia river,
which has been discussed for years is
being considered very seriously by
the government, according to Repre
sentative Albert Johnson, Hoquiam.
One of the three ditches, according
to outlined plans, would be dug from
Puget sound, near Olympia, Wash.,
to Grays harbor on the coast. The
second link would run down the coast
from Grays harbor to Willapa harbor
and the third would connect Willapa
harbor with the Columbia.
Proposals have been made that the
canal at first be built large enough to
handle only light draft boats. Later
the waterway could be deepened for
coastwise craft.
Construction of the Puget sound
Columbia river canal has been con
sidered since 1854 when Jefferson
Davis, later president of the Confed
eracy, was secretary of war. At that
time war department engineers went
over the route and pronounced the
plan feasible. Davis believed the canal
would be of great war time strategic
value.
Twelve years ago the late General
H. M. Chittenden went over the pro
posed canal route and made a com
plete report. He believed seven locks
would be necessary to carry the canal
over the divide between Olympia and
the coast. He placed the cost around
$15,000,000.
Congressman Johnson recently said
it might be possible to get the canal
included among the government’s pro
jects for inland waterways.
SALOON MEN TO GO
INTO MOVIE BUSINESS
SAN FRANCISCO, June 11 (by As
sociated Press).—Saloon keepers,
seeking an opportunity to serve the
public when war-time prohibition be
comes effective July 1 and also an in
vestment, are turning to the moving
picture theatre, according to men in
terested in the amusement business.
More moving picture theatres have
changed hands in California and other
states In the west recently than ever
before in the history of the business.
This is similar to the change in owner
ship of the moving picture houses
that was noted when Oregon and
Washington were put in the dry
column. Men in the motion picture
business are authority for the state
ment that prohibition increases the
patronage of the “movies.”
“The saloon owner, who will be
forced to seek another business after
June 30, is the most active buyer of
motion picture theatres at present,”
said a broker who in the last five years
is credited with having sold motion
picture theatres aggregating $3,000,
000 in value. "The saloon keeper is
looking for an investment for his
money and naturally is turning to a
business that will keep him in contact
with the public and at the same time
give him a good income.
WYOMING TO COMPILE
RECORD OF DOUGHBOYS
CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 11 (by As
sociated Press).—Every doughboy,
leatherneck and gob who wore a uni
form during the world war and claim
ed Wyoming as his home will have his
name, home address, and full military
record on file in the office of the new
ly created historical department of
the state government, so that future
generations may know the deeds of
the present generation.
The work of compiling these records
was commenced during the war by the
council of national defense through
Miss Agnes Wright state librarian,
who undertook to organize county and
local committee to gather the data.
Then the legislature decided that now
was a good time to accumulate a
“past” and authorized the appointment
of a state historian.
The new department is taking up
the work unfinished by the council of
defense and volunteer workers are
eagerly assisting in gathering facts
about Wyoming’s participation in the
war. Personal reminiscences are val
ued highly and state officials believe
the work when completed will provide
valuable sidelights on the war which
will be of great interest and historical
value.
The historian is trying to make the
compilation more than a mere report
and a catalogue of names. Each vol
unteer historian is asked to gather
interesting anecdotes of Wyoming’s
fighters experiences in whipping the
Hun and send them to the state his
torical department, Room 302, Capitol
building, Cheyenne.
USEWDtELESS
IN FIGHTING
FORET FIRES
MISSOULA, Mont., June 11 (by As
sociated Press).—Plans for the instal
lation of apparatus for the use of
radio communication and wireless tele
phony in the forests of district No. 1
for fire fighting work during the pres
sent season, are to be considered at
Washington in a conference for which
R. B. Adams, telephone engineer of
the forest service with headquarters
here, has been summoned to the
capital.
The feasibility of establishing sev
eral wireless telephone stations in the
national forests of Montana and north
ern Idaho is to be investigated, ac
cording to announcement from district
headquarters of the forest service
here, and it is expected that equip
ment for two stations in each state
will be obtained immediately for dem
onstration purposes during the com
ing field season.
It is not contemplated that wireless
telephony will entirely supplant the
system now in use, the statement says,
at least for some time to come. The
plan is to make wireless communica
tion supplemental to the existing sys
tem and to use it in connection with
the lines installed. It is in the rough,
mountainous sections of the country,
where ordinary telephone-line con
struction is difficult and expensive, the
announcement says, that the wireless
will be tried out first. It is declared
to be the confident belief of forest
service officials in Missoula that an
other year will see airplanes and wire
less telephony definitely adopted as
parts of the forest protective system.
