The following appeared IN a -. LOUIS paper
/ Of Tuesday, and there commanded consider
! able attention, as it ought 10 here, coming, as
| II does, from one OF our oldest merchants:
MEMPHIS, September Is, 1874.
/ Messrs II. & L. Chase:
/ GENTLEBlEN-i4iKe corn, our Two thousand
| five hundred tons Of oil-cake IS Of low specific
value, according to weight. Hence We want
{ easy access TO the sen. We are led % believe
that canal following a natural outlet TO Bar
tIaria bay, which is forty feet deep, and start
I ing out from Gretna, IN sight OF New Orleans,
would give us just what we want. Tie inlet
[ to this route would have 70 be artificial, IN
order 20 keep out The sediment. The one hun-
dred and twenty miles or river below New
Orleans has only the same fail as the thirty or
! forty TO Baritaria, hence the slugglah current
IN the river below, and the great difficulty Of
preventing allavial deposits a. the mouth OF
the river. These facts are well known TO river
men and to scientific men, but unfortunately
I il is the interest OF the large t0wboat combi-
nations at New orleans, and others, that more
expensive methods should exist, and the con-
seQuenb embargo on the commerce OF the
whole valley. We would ike 10 have the CO.
operation OF your vest section IN carrying out
these views, when all get 70 understand them.
Yours W. Is. MILLER, Secretary.
