THE MOUTH OF RED RIVER.

To the Editor OF the Democrat:
A letter In your Issue Of to-day from Capt
JOS. A. Aiken. In reference to closing the mouth
Of Red river states as forcibly his si.e OF the
case as perhaps It can be stated.
Having as assistant engineer of the Board Of
Public Works Of this State devoted several
months In 1850 to study of this question. per-
haps can throw some light upon 1t.
Capt. Aiken looks at the mater solely from
his point OF view. and that is that the mouth of
the river can ba kept open during the business
season by some means. This no one will dis
