Success seems at last to be browning
the efforts of the national government
to make a river town OF Vicksburg.
After nine years of attempts and fail
ures. the canal which is to bring the
Yazoo river down the front of the
city's levee is being dug with aston
ishing rapidity. says John l. Mathews,
writing from Vicksburg, Miss, to the
Chicago Record. Since the end Of De-
cember more than a mile of it has
been excavated, and soon steamers will
be running from the Mississippi be-
low town to the front of the old ware
house, while the dredges are working
their way across the Centennial lake
toward the Yazoo. 1t is now twenty
five years since the Mississippi, cutting
through narrow neck of land near
Delta, La. abandoned the frowning
bluffs which Pemberton's cannon had
defended thirteen years earlier. The
channel through which. in the face of
''WhistIing Dick" and other Parrot
rifles Grant had run his ironclads,
became a body of stagnant water
Centennial Lakeland the river, merely
touching the hills two miles south of
the city. coursed away through it's an
cient channel. At high water steamers
could pass intoCentennial lake through
West pass, and so by cut at the foot
of De Soto island reach the city No
street car line was ever built from the
town to the new levee-the business
center remained on the shore of the
lake and all communication between
there and the river was by hack and
by mule-hauled drays. So Vicksburg
stood still, to the great profit of
Natchez and Greenville The Yazoo
river runs into an abandoned channel
known as the "Old river and so
into the Mississippi ten miles above
Vicksburg. From Centennial lake to
the nearest point of Old river is but
three miles. Government engineers,
therefore, conceived that by cutting a
canal across there and another up the
old levee front of Vicksburg-the chan
mel having been already obliterated-
and by damming West pass and the
mouth of the Old river they could
bring the Yazoo down by Vicksburg
to scour an artificial channel The
Yazoo is a river of considerable cur
rent Contracts for accomplishing this
work have been let from time to time
during the last nine years. Companies
have sent dipper dredges, removed
thousands of yards Of material from
the canal and abandoned the task as
impossible of accomplishment The

To Run 155
Miles an Hour

Germany intends leading the way in
the matter Of ideal railroad transpor-
tation, and through the secretary of
war has placed at the disposal of an
electric company the military line be-
tween Berlin and Jossen, upon which
it is proposed to run electric cars at q
rate of 155 miles an hour.
There seems to be no doubt in Ger
many that this enormous speed will be
attained, and with full government
support and endorsement the result,
if possible, will be reached. The work
is to be accomplished during the pres
ent year.
In this country the German attempt
is regarded favorably. A. M. Young, of
New York, an expert electric railway
constructor, says that the attainment
of a speed of 155 miles an hour would
not surprise him, and he adds that he
expects to see in this country electric
trains running at the rate of 100 miles
an hour, and that before long.
Charles w. Price, editor of the Elec-
trical Review, has this to say:
see no reason why $50 miles an
hour should not be covered by an cleo
trio train. 1t is entirely feasible, and,
indeed. speaking with experts some
time ago on this very subject, they

CANAL TO BRING YAZOO
IN FRONT OF - - -
CITY.

Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific company fin
ally secured the contract, work to be
begun not later than JAM. l of this
year, and at least 260, 900 cubic yards
of material to be removed monthly
thereafter until the whole was accom-
plished- 1t was estimated that $780,
900 yards must be mover to construct
a canal nine miles long ninety feet
wide at the bottom. having sides ''slop-
ing one foot in five, and having its
bottom five feet below zero of the river
gauge at Vicksburg." The material is
silt, clay and sand, and the contract
price is IL 2-5 cents a yard Included
in this price is a certain amount of
levee work, consisting chiefly of the
West pass dam across Centennial lake,
which will require 1000, 900 yards OF
material. To accomplish this work the
company SAINT TO Nicksburg two CEN
trifugal suction dredges, delivering ma
terial through pipe lines. They were
put to work late in December. At the
same time an eight-yard dipper dredge-
with a capacity of 100000 yards a
month. was begun on the spot, and is
now almost completed. One dredge.
known as NO. 81 is a typical mod
ern sand cutter. 1t is equipped with
a set of revolving knives at the end
of a long ladder" having a suction
pipe in the ladder opening back of the
knives. The latter are turned by an
engine at the head of the ladder. An
eighteen-inch suction pipe leads to
a centrifugal pump, driven by triple
expansion marine engine at 200 revo-
buttons a minute. From this leads a
pipe line over a row of pontoons, where
f1exibility is provided by rubber joints
and then over the land to the shore Of
De Soto island. The dredge has two
swinging" lines running from either
bow, and swings upon a -spud" aft,
SO as to cover the whole channel In
January this dredged 100000 yards of
material, while the other one. No.
A. which was shut down for some
time, dug out 100000 yards. 1t should
be understood that these dredges are
cutting against a bank from one to
twenty feet higher than the water they
float in. 1t will thus be seen that
these dredges earned in a single month
$32, 240, and they will draw this much
from the government appropriation,
the work having been accepted to date
In an average month these two dredges
will cut 100000 yards at no greater ex-
pense earning over s37 900. This must
cover levee work and all other ex-
penses.
