sion on the question whether the levee sys-
tenn or the outlet system or q combination
of the two is best fitted TO protect the PEG
pie of the lower Mississippi valley from

WINGED him that the levee system was q
failure. as it had proved in the Yellow
river in China, where the bed Of the river
raised and devastating overflow, causing
the loss of millions of lives, resulted. The
outlet system was the true relief for over
flows Of the Mississippi
Mr.. Berry held that the ievee Was the
only true system, and said nearly every en-
gineer who had anything to do with the
river held the same view.
Mr.. Harris had believed In the levee sys-
TEN, but the events of the last two months
had greatly shaken his confidence in it,
and he suggested the appointment of q
commission of scientists TO be charged
with the duty OF . thorough investigation
of the subjezt.
Mr.. Eussis said steamboat captains were
unanimously in favor of the levee system
as against the outlet system-
Mr.. Walthau said, IS far as he knew, PEG
pie along the river had absolute faith in the
levee system. and we're generally opposed
to the outlet system. He firmly believed
that, if the outlet system was adopted. i,
would not be long before the Mississippi
river would become useless for navigation.
