DIVERSION OF RED RvER-IT PROPOSES TO Flow
TO THE GULF BY New CHANNEL.-It has for some
years been evident that, by sure and rapid pro-
cess, the connection between Red River and the
Mississippi is being cut Off The effect of the com
plete contamination of this process, now going on
with extraordinary and alarming rapdity, will be
to divert Red River into the Atchafalaya, which
affords channel for its waters and compels it to
flow to.the Gulf at Berwick's Bay. Thus the
in the valley of the Red River will suffer the en-
barrassment of being shut off from communication
with its natural market, while New Orleans will
lose the rich trade which the river country annual
ly pours into her lap. These contingencies are not
remote: They will surely happen within few
years If something be not done to obviate them.
For some years past the connection between Red
River and the Mississippi has been growing more
and more precarious, TILL in low water it is almost
entirely lost In the high water season the volume
OF water which pours down the Atchafaaya exceeds
the flow of the Red River the Mississippi actual
ly backs up through Old River, that the current
sets from instead of into the main stream-N o,
