Tho yTississippi.

Tho plain truth about tho Mississippi and
It's devastating outbreaks at the South can
be told in few words. and 1t does not require
An engineer to understand the matter.
As tho river pours down toward the
Gulf its incomprehcnsitly vast volume of
muddy water. part Of the mud settles: and
when It settles the level Of tho rivers bed
is gradually raised. Not oil OF tho mud
goes to build up the delta.
When there Is a flood along tho course Of
this slowly but surely Swallowing channel
tho increased volume OF water must be
taken care OF In somo way. or tho land ut
either side and all there Ia on the land will
sufrcr the consequences OF inundation.
There are two ways OF taking care Of the
surplus water.
One way is to build levees at tho rivers
banks. and to build those levees higher and
higher as in course OF timo the level OF tho
rivcr bod Is raised. In other words. the
lcvce system confines the flood and carries
It along to tho rivers mouth.
Tho second way Is to provide side outlets
at convenient points. safety escapes for an
emergency. by which the flood can be tap
pod and the surplus water carried away to
the Gulf by safo passage to the relief OF
the normal channel.
Both methods have had their advocates.
but for years the policy OF tho Government
and tho Government engineers in dealing
with the Mississippi problem has been to
depend almost exclusively upon the levccs
and to ignore the outlet system. Millions
havo been spent In building the lcvees to
confine the Hood instead Of letting 1t escape.
Millions moro must be spent to build these
artificial barriers higher as tho river bed is
raised in course OF time: and the higher tho
artificial banks go. the weaker they become.
and the greater the danger OF breaks and
destruction to life and property.
The effect OF the present policy Is to
transform the mighty river into an elevated
aqueduct. at all times OF flood threatening
the country on either side just as the North
Sea threatens Holland.
Suppose the basin OF q marble washstand
IL overlooking by q steady influx Of water
which cannot DO controlled. A man might
erect around the edge OF the basin a little
dam Of putty to prevent the overflow. But
It would be foolish and he would have to
build his putty dam constantly higher.
Another man might pull the plug at the
end OF the chain and safely let off such
water as was not wanted. The putty dam
Is the levee system. The plug at the bot
tom OF the bowl Is the outlet system.
Which method commends itself to COM
mon sense?
