Cllnch River.

The Clinch river rises in the Cum
berland mountains in southwestern
Virginia, and flows in q southwest
erly direction, generally parallel to
the Holston river. and empties into
the Tennessee river at Kingston,
Tenn. 1O4 miles above Chattanooga
and seventy-nine miles below Knox
Vile, the length of It's course in
Tennessee being $50 miles.
The Improvement of the Clinch
river is by no means a recent un-
dertaking. AS long ago as 1890 the
state Of Tennessee made an appro-
priation OF 100000 for improving the
navigation OF its rivers, and $4,000
of this sum was allotted to the
rivers In East Tennessee and a por-
ton of this amount applied to the
improvement of the ClinCh river. In
1912 another appropriation Of $780,
600 was made by the state and was
similarly allotted and applied.
In its original condition the chan
mel was INSTRUCTED by rock reefs,
sand and gravel bars, powders,
snags and overhanGins trees.
The present project provides for
channel excavations, removing sur
face distractions. and the construc-
lion of wing dams and training
walls, so as to secure a navigable
channel two feet in depth at ordi-
nary low water from the mouth Of
the river to Clinton. covering about
seventy miles, and Of one and one
half feet in depth from Clinton to
Haynes Cor Walker's) ferry. about
seventy-fve miles. From Haynes
ferry to Osborne ford, in Virginia.
a distance OF 100 miles, it IS pro-
posed simply to remove the loose
rock and powders, reduce the rock
lodges, remove snags, overhanging
trees and similar distractions, SO
as to assist raft and natboat navi-
cation at the stages at which the
river is ordinarily used.
The amount expended to June 80,
1900 was $45, 97778. which had re-
suited in reducing many Of the
