than ever, and seems to retard the
water of the sloughs Where timber is
cut down for purposes of clearing and
cultivation, the p1owed area becomes
an enlarged absorbent Of moisture, and
it is a generally accepted opinion that
the destruction of timber tends rather
to diminish than to increase the rain

With reference to the five reservoirs
in the head waters of the Mississippi,
the committee says:
They repress to some extent the
floods in the river bottoms above Lake
Popin and improve the navigation of
the river in low water down to that
point, but have no material effect upon
the floods or navigation Of the river
below that point
On the subject Of reservoirs in gen.
eral the committee continues:
The evidence discloses no other
points on the Upper Mississippi avail
able for reservoir purposes. On the
Missouri the only point where a suffi-
clent holding has been found for res
ervoir is on a branch of the river above
Great Falls, Mont. Such a reservoir, if
constructed high enough to bring the
River Valley, would be valuable for
purposes Of irrigation, but would have
no material bearing on the floods in
the Mississippi River, nor on the navi-
CATION of the Missouri River. The evil
dence, as we'll as the other data, dis
closes that on the Ohio River, as we'll
| as on its tributaries, where reservoirs
could act more directly on the floods
than elsewhere, with the exception II
the st. Francis Basin, there are no
suitable sites or holding grounds where
reservoirs could at any moderate or
reasonable expense, and without work.
ing far-reaching and extensive dam
age, be constructed SO as to be adeq-
uate to retain the great downpour from
mountain torrents during the great
freshets of January, February and
March,
The committee presents quite a com
prehensive historical sketch of levees
and jetties in the Mississippi. With
reference to the levees, they say that
.the experience of 1897 indicates that
a complete inclosure of all the river
basins will require to be raised from
three to four feet in louisiana. and
from four to six feet on the Yazoo.
The committee concludes that no
substantial relief from the floods can
be obtained by means of outlets; hence
the further conclusion that only
through properly constructed levees
can the proper relief be secured The
committee furnishes an estimate of the
cost of completing the levee system,
putting the figure at from $4,000, 600

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The Sen
ate Committee on Commerce to-day
agreed on the report of the sub-com-
mittee appointed under the resolution
of March, 1898. to investigate and re-
port upon the floods in the Mississippi
River and their causes and preven-
ton The subcommittee, consisting of
Senators Nelson, Elkins, Vest, Nc
Bride, Gallinger, Berry and Caffery, has
visited many points on the Mississippi
and its tributaries, taking testimony at
various points and altogether giving
the subject very careful attention. The
report was prepared by Senator Mel
son, Chairman of the b-committee.
In regard to the cutting of timber at
the head waters of the streams, the
committee says:
Nothing in the evidence or other
data obtained by your committee dis
closes the fact that the destruction of
timber at or near the head waters of
these river systems seems to cause or
promote the floods referred to. Where
the timber is cut down for purposes
other than cultivation, the underbrush
remains and grows more luxuriantly
