MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Annual Report of the Commission
Filed With General Wilson.

WASHINGTON, July 2S-The an
nual report of the Mississippi River
Commission has been received by Gen
eral Wilson, Chief of the Engineers It
shows that there has been expended on
the river for the year ending June 81,
1899, S1,0I5,00Q and allotments for
1900, amounting to 81 ,25O, 900, have
been made. During the year the Unit
ed States has built 76S6,73S cubic
yards of levees. and State and local
authorities 3,316541 yards. 1t is not
expected that the work of State and
local authorities will be continued to
any great extent hereafter. The COM
mission believes fully in the levee sys-
tenn
The commission has recognized in the
past the obligation of giving equal de-
gree of security against overflow to
each of the basins and districts and the
allotment of Government funds has
been based on this intention with such
notifications as economic and financial
conditions make avisable. Large dis
tricts thickly populated and cultivated
should be, say the commission, kept
in greater degree of security than
small and unimproved sections.
Owing to strict quarantine regulations
it has been almost impossible to pros
ecute work below Cairo. Besides work
on levees there has been declining
Building of revelments and special i'm
provements at various points.
AS result of careful surveys and
measurements, the commission says:
I"These investigations give no evidence
of a general progressive elevation of
the bed of the stream, but do justify
the belief that with the banks properly
reverted, to prevent erosion, the ulti-
mate effect of combining the floods by
means of levees will be a depression of
the river bed and consequent enlarge
nent of the channel capacity"
