There is a company tormai under
charter of Louisiana, to make ,hip
canal from point opposite New , cleans
to a deep sea port A survey h" nren
made, the project is pronounced .n1sirIe,
the engineers estimate is only 'l'i1n,
and the projectors expect to induce 2" pi-
tai by the prospect of returns ihe
elements of the project may be briefly
stated. The excavation through SUCH a
country is easily made, and succession
of bayous and lakes has left com
paratively a small part to do The
liver and sea currents will keep open
channel of any needed depth, if sep
Grated from the river deposit of earth.
We remark that any project of making
the river open deep channel, which
does not relieve it of the river deposit,
can only be temporary. The canal will
be a channel relieved from the river
mud. The extreme difference in height
of river and tides is about twelve feet.
When the river is low the high tides
would discharge the canal into the river
But one lock is required, which is at the
river, and of but small lift. Thus when
this canal is once opened, the channel
will be kept clear by river current and
tides. The use of it can begin before it
is completed to full depth, as the ex-
cavation will be done by steam dredges'
1t is so feasible that the wonder is it was
not done before.
