While he did not foresee an industrial boom for the ;^, he did stress the im- pact from the recreational use of the canal. The director admitted the canal could bring an end to the Willa- pa Bay oyster industry and was uncertain what would happen to the cranberry industry. Those suf- fering losses as a result of the project will be reimbursed and this is included in the estimated cost of the project, he added. Actual engineering will be done by the Corps of Engineers, Pew- ters explained, and they will work out designs to protect private interests as far as posiblc. Lin- ing of the canals through cran- berry land is being considered to prevent any harmful change in the water table. The Canal Commission's studies will be concluded in September and the Engineers will then spend from a year to 18 months deter- HELICOPTER PEST CONTROL. mining costs and engineering feasibility. It would be possible to begin actual construction on one portion of the waterway within three years, Pewters said. The speaker showed maps of the /routes being considered for the canal. Three locations are being studied between the Colum- bia River and Willapa Bay. Cost of this section, including a tidal gate, would be about $30,000,000. The gate is needed because of a sixfoot differential between the river and the bay. Eight different routes have been proposed for the section between Willapa and Grays Harbor. No lock or tidal gate will be ne
