SANDWICH. Mass. Jan. 5.-——The
Cape Cod Canal. the purchase of
which for “1.500.000 is now before
Congress on recommendations by Seo-
retaries Weeks. Hoover and Denby. is
an artificial waterway with a history.
The project was conceived two centur-
ies ago and at different times was the
subject of various proposals. all of
which failed of" fruition. It was no un-
til seven years ago the canal was com-
pleted. cutting the long arm of Cape
Cod o fi'from the rest of Massachu-
setts. .
The Canal was constructed by the
Boston. Cape Cod and New York Can-
al Company. of which August Belmont
was president. It runs through the
towns of Sandwich and Flourne. It
connects Cape Cod Bay and Buzzards
Bay. shortening the distg'me between
New York and New England port: by
some 65 miles-and so Molding the
graveyard of ships on the ocean side
of Cape Cod. It is thirteen miles in
length. with a width varying from 100
to 300 feeet. and a depth of twenty-
five feet at mean low water.
Eight miles of the waterway were
cut through land purchased by the
company. and five miles dredged
through government waters to a.
depth of 25 feet in Cape Cod and Buz-

here the story of the "Lost Chero-

of the later .day Indian histories but
in varying accounts. Old time‘Chero—
kees of this section have lately brought
forth what they declare is the "only
true account" of the “Lost Chero-
kees” ever given to the public These
authorities say they obtained their in—
formation from their grand parents
and insist that the version is absolute-
ly correct.
'It happened back in 1838. their ac—

This created an extreme bitterness
among a faction that was opposed to
disposing of the tribal property.‘
Members of this faction fore-
cast the sale as the be-»
ginning of the white man's encroach-
ment upon the Indians and argued
that if the sale was consumated it
would only be a question of time when
the Indians would be disposseued of
all of their holdings to the benefit of
ihe pale faces.
The Indians who are now recalling
the "Ilost Cherokees." assert their
grandparents described to them the
