THE OUTLET SYSTEM.
People Coming 10 Their Sens

The Marksville Buiietin, OF April 8, contains
the substance Of an interview with DR.. James
Ware, Of Ayoyellse Parish, who advocated the
outlet system.
He said; "Tho only system that Will savo
Louisiana from inundation is general outlet

that will save Louisiana, and believe the
outlet system VIII do 1t. open ell the outlets

ings corresponding TO these levoed back to
their own swamps, and they Will be protected.
Nature Will thus be only guided, not con-
trolled. You must remember that you cannot
control such body OF water as that, though
you may guide It. The system OF levees has
failed for ono hundred and fifty years; the
history OF Louisiana is crevasse now would
Il not be good sense 10 change our plan and

The New orleans Picqulae OF the 10th says
"The estimated number Of breaks inILouisiana
or gaps In the levees on the right bank, from
the state line down, is about 76. or these
there are come 90 odd In Tensas, and 10 or IL
In Concordla. Tho extont OF levees destroyed
BY these creyasses is probably not less than
siS miles. The causes to which tho breaks
below Rcd River are attributed are rico
fumes, crawilsh holes and road cuts. The
crevasses above Red River were produced In
nearly every case by the water running over
the top OF the levees. With tho exception OF
Morganza, none OF the existing creyasees arc I'm

The above reminds us of what the New York

In conversation Mr.. Rayner said that he was
surprised that the board should be willing TO

pected letter censurlng tho conduct OF the of
tlcer, which would have terminated the mat

they virtually recognize the propriety Of the

animation OF the low upon tho subject, that
the entry into the dwelling house OF these
parties without warrant for the purpose OF fer
retlng out o suspected violation OF the Sunday

the common law. The offense, he said, Is not
felony nor breach OF the peace, nor even an
Interference with the public observance OF the
