Canal scheme faces long odds despite touted benefits
Major H M Chittenden of the U S corps of engineers questions the Puget Sound Grays Harbor canal plan citing a $15 million to $20 million price tag and a lack of immediate necessity. He envisions a future route from Puget Sound to the Columbia via the Cowlitz River, but expects government action to be distant. The piece also includes verse and local notices from Olympia and advertisements for Pain Balm and printing services.
