recommendation of the war depart-
ment, sc aside both shores of tim
pass as a nfilitary reserve. Since the
white man iirst came its bays and
beaches have never been anything
bat a playground, save for a short
time ago when the world war was
on and engineers and soldiers from
Fort Casey laid out possible defenses
on the Whidby side of the pass, and
much ground was cleared of trees
and shrubbery and placements made
for artillery.
In the middle of the pass is Ben
Ure Island, named after a man who
'claimed it as a squatter when the
reserve wa made.Military force, it
is said, wms required to move him
fromthe island,
Bridge.ls, Proposed,
'A
, recent recommendation of the
war department is for the construc-
tion of a bridge across the pass
trong enough to carry mobile artil-
lery. This bridge, it was suggested
by the military engineers, iwoutd rest
its center on this island, and. It
ould' Stretch high above the ship
:hmmel. This is also the route of
;he Roosevelt Highway from the
Skagit across to the pass to connect
yith the Olympic Highway system at
Port Townsend.
At present the connection is made
y ferry a half mile eastward of the
ross. Both approaches to the bridge
11 be well within the park. It was
re on the east side of the pass
where the state some years ago es-
tablished a convict camp and erected
n immense rock crushing plant for
urnishing crushed rock for the roads
f Western Waslfington.
i Lease Was Sought.
Some months ago an attempt was
haade by private parties to secure the
reservation by lease. The North-
counties arose in wrath, had
proposed lease withdrawn and
for its transfer to the state
or park purposes. After weeks of
effort, the park committee was in-
'duced to ask for a deed, and House
9235 and Senate Bill 2748, iden-
tical bills, introduced by Congress-
Lindley H. Hadley and Senator
Miles Poindexter, provide for such
transfer. It is expected that the
bills will go into comittee with the
io. k. of Secretkry of War Weeks•
Four roads lead into the proposed
;park, every point is accessible by
;water, and its bays and beaches are
!the resort of thousands each sum-
mer. It is said to be the only avail-
able beach open to the public free
lof charge between Seattle and Blaine.
',DOLLAR AWARDS MADE
ON RIPARIAN RIGHTS
Everett, Dec. 9.A jury that for
,three days heard evience in superior
{court on the question of damages to
owners of riparian rights on a stream
From which the town of Marysville
iplans to get water for a new system
its findings today, award-
each of the nine persons $1 each•
is the least that could be given
iin the vedict. In a special verdict
the jurors expressed the opinion that
o damage would be done to the de-
cendant owners by reason of reduced
of water available for irri-
oses. The defendants are
Blacken, Lewis Lewis and
Minnie Lewis, George Aken and Dor-
othy Aken, Alfred M. Johnson, Fred
Misner, Puget Mill Company, Jennie
Sill, George B. Ditmore anl Minnie
Ditmore. The stream was said to be
three feet wide and one foot deep,
and it was the contention of the
.town of Marysville that irrigation in
the district was unnecessary•

Chris Morganroth, deputy forest
supervisor, has already recommended
the improvement to the forest ser-
vice, setting forth the facts that the
three and one-half miles necessary to
complete the rebuilding of the road
will be comparatively inexpensive and
that a new trail, five miles in length
would" not only afford protection to
a fine stand of young timber, but
would be a great benefit to the many
who climb the mountain annually,
and M well as to hundreds more who
are prewated,.om doing so by the
