THE HUMPHREY THEORY

is that real bed of the Mississippi river,
upon which rest the shifting sand-bars
and mud banks made " local causes, ia
structure of hard, blue clay, quite un
like the present deposits Of the river,
and which reslsts the action Of the strong
current almost like marble; that there.
fore the bed of the rivec cannot yield,
and il the velocity of the river current
be increased sufficiently to compel an
enlargement of the channel it must be
enlarged by an increased caving OF the
banks; that, consequently, the closing
up Of outlets by levees or otherwise has
3 tendency TO lowerthe food line. But,
from the outlet system, according to the
Humphreyites, no assistance in reclaim
ing the alluyisl region from overflow can
judIeiously be anticipated" " Though
correct in theory, no advantageous sites
FOR artificial outlets exist.
Thus we find the Humphreyites claim
ing that the current cannot acour our
marbe,bsrd blue clay of the river bed,
and that the surplus water cannot be
carried of by outlets. Their conclusion
is, therefore, that to redeem the Missis-
sippi from overflow high levees must be
built from the mouth OF the Ohio to the
Passes. The estimated cost Of this work
will be $4,000, 900; and after it is done
the expense OF keeping it in repair will
amount annually to d very considerable
