The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1904-03-18

When we left our home for our trip
it was not our intention to be upon the
road on Sunday, but delays in starting
seemed to make it necessary, and Sun
day morning found us on the train
nearing New Orleans. So much be-
hind time were we that our conductor
feared we would have to lie over until
Monday, but our train was hurried on
to the barge, and heavy tugs tcwed us
across the Mississippi, where mon
ster engine was coupled on, and we
were soon whirling westward through
the cane and cotton fields of Louisiana
We run through fertile prairie coun-
try, with black, deep soil seemingly
under thorough cultivation, while
along the edges of the track on one
side the trees are draped in long sill
very Spanish moss, forming a drapery
OF singular gracefulness. AS we near
the western edge OF the state we run
into great pine forests. Three hundred
and sixty-two miles west of New Or
leans we arrive at Houston, one of
the great commercial centers of the
southeastern section of Texas. Now
we have entered into a state that for
magnitude is an empire in itself:
Eight hundred miles in length from
east to west, $50 miles from north to
south. and in it's area IL times as large
as New York state, and out of which
could be carved 211 states as large as
Rhode Island, and still have land to
spare. At Houston we are only 81 feet
above sea level; but as we 60 on west
ward the altitude varies, until at last
We reach the summit of the Sunset
route, $50 miles west of New Orleans,
at an altitude of 5OS2 feet. From
Houston to San Antonio, 200 miles
apart, we run through a comparatively
level country, under good cultivation,
cotton and sugar cane being the prin-
cipal crops. Not much live stock is to
be seen, as the great grazing sections
lie far to the southwark, away from
the line of railroad, where vast herds
roam over the plains and are great
source of revenue to the owners. The
soil is rich and grass needs but little
encouragement to grow luxuriantly
and furnishes feed for stock the year
through, and although it becomes dry,

A little spring breeze went up into

tanning a navigable stage of water,
not only would destruction be pre-
vented but the cost of protective
measures would be lightened. The
country must either choose between
some plan of controlling the Missouri
or the extension of the levee system.
While the latter has no indirect re-
suits OF advantage it will cost in the
long run as much as q gigantic dam
project.
AS an irrigation scheme the project
1s also important. The water of the
Missouri it is to be noted is not the
alkaline water Of the desert regions
where most of the pending irrigation
schemes are projected. It 10 soft
water of greater value for irrigation.
That there are numerous areas In
North Dakota which are irrigable is
not denied by the engineers report.
The contention merely is that the IT.
rigable areas are not not sufficient to
justify the expense Of any project in
vestfgated. But with the construction
of the dam for food control, irrigation
would, so to speak, become a "by-
product" Of the enterprise. The de-
livery Of the water to the sand hills
of western Nebraska would moreover
be of benefit both to North Dakota.
That the scorching winds that fire.
quently burn up the crops of those two
states would be greatly tempered if
the Nebraska sand hills were under
trees, grass and water Is a theory not
only advanced by Mr.. Harrison but
widely held. If it is true theory the
annual saving in the two Dakotas,
with the creation of wealth in the
arid part of Nebraska, would fully
justify the expense of conducting the
waters or the Missouri to long a dis
lance. Furthermore there is little
doubt that the creation of the vast
lake contemplated in the scheme
would add materially to the, average
rainfall of the Dakotas. From five
tenths to six-tenths Of an inch is evap-
Grated from shallow lakes on hot
day in Minnesota and the Dakotas
and the creation of a vast lake in the
semiarid region would add materially
to the moisture to be precipitated.
Thus the project would serve both for
the direct and indirect irrigation of
large region.
The matter Of power is also not to
be overlooked. The region through
which the proposed canals and fumes
would pass is without fuel. Cheap
water power such as could be obtained
at localities whose topography was
favorable would serve for the crea-
ton of electricity, light and heat. This
advantage, like that of improving
navigation, is subsidiary, but not un-
worthy of consideration in weighing
the feasibility of the expense neces-
sary involved in carrying out so huge
a project. The possibilities, as Mr..
Harrison suggests, are at least worthy
of careful Investigation.

BY THE. MISSOURI.
Minnesota Engineer Thinks Government
Should Investigate Possibilities Of Mis-
y. souri, River Storage and Irrigation.

st. Paul, Pioneer Press: In an arti-
Gle in the Pioneer Press last Sunday
reviewing the various irrigation pro-
jects contemplated by the government
reclamation service, the statement was
made that the govern nent engineers
report that irrigation does not seem
practicable in North Dakota. Tenta.
tive exception is made to this report
by H. III. Harrison, engineer of the
saltwater water. works, who has been
over North Dakota very thoroughly
He believes that the possibility of
storing the waters Of the Missouri.
controlling them and diverting them
has not received the attention that 1t
deserves. His observations lead him
to believe that It may be feasible to
build huge dam between the Mandan
bluffs somewhere between Bismarck
and Williston. As the average fall
Of the Missouri Is about one foot to
the mile, a dam 225 feet high, such as
1fs proposed on the Salt river in Ari-
zona, would hold back the water and
practically form a lake or reservoir
225 miles long. The Yellowstone,
Little Missouri and other tributaries
would also be affected by this dam.
From this reservoir water could be
carried by canals and fumes to the
sand hills of western Nebraska and
could be used for irrigation and power
purposes along the route.
This scheme Mr.. Harrison first pro-
posed at the irrigation congress last
fall. At the same congress Senator
Burton of Kansas also urged the con-
troll of the headwaters Of the Missouri.
but without advancing any definite
plan. That the control of the Mis-
souri, would be an enormous undertak.
ing was recognized by both Senator
Burton and Mr.. Harrison. They did
not, however, regard the undertaking
as presenting any greater obstacles
than the control of, the Nile by the
Assouan and Assiut dams, while the
direct advantages they believe fully
justified such a heavy expenditure as
would be involved. Those advantages
were five-fold, irrigation, modification
of climate, prevention Of foods. crea-
ton Of power and Improvement OF
navigation.
The most important of these is the
control of floods Had such a dam as
that proposed been in operation last
year the $50,oO0,0OO and 100 lives
destroyed by the, Kansas floods would
have been saved. That flood, it will
be remembered, was caused by heavy
and continuous rains that flooded
Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, swelling
the brooks, creeks and rivers that
drained that vast region into the Mis-
souri,. Had it been possible to hold
back the upper waters of the Missouri,
as it would have been had there been
dam and system of weather re-
ports, the local rainwater could have
been carried off without damage. The
damage in that case was extraordi-
nary, but there is not a year that sew
eral million dollars worth of damage
is not done either by The Missouri
alone or by the union Of it's swollen
waters with the waters of the Missis-
sippi, the Ohio and other streams
