Cairo, ILL.,, July 24.-Said an in
telligent and experienced Mississippi
river pilot and captain today, discus
sing the peculiarities of the Father
of the Waters: "A very unusual
condition of things exists now with
reference to the water in the channel
below the mouth Of the Ohio. With
lag feet on the Cairo guage and a
rapidly falling river not less than 4
feet may be found on the shoalest
bars to Memphis, fact most extraor-
binary as not having occurred before
in many years. Before the river
commission began its work of I'M
provement it was no unusual thing
to lind 3 feet of water in Bulletin
bar with 20 feet on guage at Cairo.
Now, with but Ii feet recorded here
there is l0i feet at Bulletin, a test;-
monial as to the efficiency of the sys-
TEN adopted by the gosernment en-
gineers, which can not be successful.
ly contradicted by the most bitter
opponent of river improvement.
Wherever the commission has had
fair opportunity its work has invari-
ably been successful. The thorough
protection of the levees back of Cal.
ro has convinced me that with time
and money the Mississippi river may
be mastered. The work back of this
city is thorough, complete and i'm.
pregnable. 1t has withstood the
heaviest floods, and promises to re-
main firm for all years to come"
