engineer, and a long time observer D
Mississippi flood phenomena, declare
that "the gradual increase in the vol
ume of water is plainly attributable te
the changed condition of affairs in the
basin. All the vast country directly
drained by the Mississippi and its myr
lad tributaries has undergone stupen
dous development within the past de
cade. Along with this development
has come the draining of immeasura
BILE swamps, lakes and pools and the
closing Of bayous, whose waters have
been turned into the Mississippi, thus
throwing an immense volume of water
into the big stream, whose channel ca
pacity is already taxed to the limit
Therefore it is that the rise is annual.
ly growing higher and the pressure on
the leyees greater. The engineering
theory is to build levees of sufficient
strength and endurance to keep the
flood confined, and thus cause the riv-
er to scour channel deep enough to
carry off the constantly increasing vol
ume. I think the present system is
the right one, and, in fact the only one
to adequately cope with the prodi-
gious forces of the river" Yet, Con-
gress deals with the great question in
a Cheap John way, grudgingly doing
out inadequate thousands while seeing
tens of millions OF dollars swept to de-
struction, and the danger annually
groWing.-City Item.
Congress pretends that the money
spent on the levees is to improve navi-
cation. But for the politics in the
matter, and the money in it for the
engineers and contractors, Congress
would not spend dollar on the levees
to crafty the riparian landowners who
are deluded with the idea that levees
can protect them. When there is a
big flood the river cannot possibly car
ry all the water between the levees,
unless they were several miles apart.
How is it possible for the river to scour
a channel deep enough to hold all the
water, when such channel would have
to be so deep that there would be lit
tie or no current to the mouth? And
channel SO deep would cause cay
ing in of the banks and levees, so as to
have width in proportion to depth.
The silt in the river water does not all
reach the gulf, but is precipitated and
raises the bottom of the river; if the
river does not carry to the gulf its own
silt or earth in solution in its waters,
how can it tear up and carry there the
hard-pan beneath its own deposited
silt? Before the days of levees the ris-
ing waters ran out in all the low pla-
ces and followed every natural outlet
to the sea and the high places were
safe from overflow. Now, with the
water walled in between two levees un-
Til its surface is far above these high pla-
ces, they are in just as much danger
from a crevasse as are the low places
where the water once naturally flowed.
Once, only the low places were subject
to overflow now, thanks to the levee
system, they are all liable to be swept
by torrent.
The engineering theory" is paid for
and it will be practiced as long as the
is forthcoming.
