and 1897 by one OF the very worst
in the history Of the Mississippi
As greater portion Of the lands
along the Mississippi from Cape
Girardeau to the gulf are below high
water level Of the river, yearly Hoods
in the south are accepted as a mat
ter OF course; it is the unusual Hoods
that receive wide attention. Nortn
OF Cairo the river rarely reaches "a
dangerous height; st. Louis general
ly escapes, but Cairo, Memphis
Vicksburg and Matches suffer trc-
ouently. In 1854. at Cairo. the Mis-
sissippi rose to lis feet above the
danger line. and though this was the
crest. the river WAS in flood 6j days.
In 1890. at the same unfortunate
town. the waters remained above The
danger line from February 13 to
April IA; and in 1898 the river at
Cairo stood at 9.3 above danger
line. The great food of 1897 ragged
from ST. Louis to the gulf, and the
river continued in food 50 days. The
borrors Of that time are still fresh
in our minds.
Early in the eighteenth century the
French began the work Of protecting
the banks of the dreaded river When

leans. his plans included the erection
of a levee on the river front of the
town. II was begun in 1920 and fin
ished seven years later. In l12s, the
planters along the way extended the
work. and 10y 1875 there were II miles
of leyees below New Orleans and Ju
above. When the United States pres
emily came into possession oi the
Louisiana territory. the work was car
ried on very extensively; by lo2a the
operations had proceeded as far as
the mouth Of the Red river aud IL
wears later up to Napoleon, Ark. Al
The breaking out Of the civil war. Cairo
ILL.,. had been reached; but there the
work stopped until after peace was de-
clared.
The great food Of 1871 and the conse'
ouent havoc wrought, caused the aP'
pointment Of special commissioners
for the purpose Of investigating the
hest means for the general protection
Of the Mississippi's banks. Many
plans we're proposed, different coun
