allow incorporated cities and towns

to exempt for term of years from

OUR NAVIGATION.

lows:
Washington, Feb. 18, 1905
Ed. JIMPLEcUTE:
l enclose herewith the report of
the chief of engineers on my bill
H, R 17110 for the construction of
a lock in connection with the dam
across Twelve Mile Bayou near
Shreveport. In view of this re-
port, / do not deem it advisable to
press the bill for further consider.
alton at present. The rivers and
harbors bill provides resurvey of
the waterway between Shreveport
and Jefferson and an examination
of the falls near Little Pass. Un-
til this resurvey has been made
we will not know exactly what the
relation of the elevation at the flats
is to the rest of the waterway and to
the Red River. This will be the first
survey and examination of the
waterway since the development
of the new conditions following the
removal of the Red River raft.
When this survey examination
shall have been made we will be
in position to know with mathe-
NAUTICAL definiteness what steps
must be taken to restore naviga.
ton. and we will also know wheth-
er the bill for the lock at Shreve-
port is advisable in it's present
form. or in what way it should be
modified. The rivers and harbors
bill provides further that the I'M
expended balance to the credit of
the Jefferson-Shreveport water.
way, an amount of over $4,000,
may be expended in clearing and
cleaning the Bayou in the discre.
ton of the Secretary of War be.
tween Jefferson and Mooringsport.
There appears at this time to be
some doubt whether the rivers and
harbors bill will pass at this ses.
sion. Whether it passes or not,
the fact that it provides for sur
vey of the Jefferson-Shreveport
waterway and an examination of
the falls near Little Pass shows
that the government again recog.
nizes our project, although two
years ago an unfavorable report
was made. This in itself is dis
tinct step in advance. If the bill
should not pass it's failure will
probably not affect the order which
the the Secretary of War has re-.
Gently made, at my request, for
the expenditure of the unexpected
balance in improving the Bayou
and the lakes between Jefferson
and Logansport.
Yours very sincerely,

Dear JIMPLEouTE:


Dear JIMPLEoUTE:
The very name carries me back
to the old palmy days of Jefferson
when immigration was pouring in
from all parts of the United States
and also from the Oriental pro.
vinces, bringing a wealth of gold
and silver to be distributed among
the merchants. hotel keepers and
professionals. l honor thee, dear
old jump. for thy perseverance in
holding on to the same ancient
profession that was prosecuted by
your ancestors. Jefferson is also
dear to me, since l was an eye
witness to its prosperity in by
gone days, and also to its fall. A
mighty fall it was, from seaport
to an inland wayside depot. /
have heard the whistle of some of
the beautiful steamers that used
to ply the waters of the Bayou in
coming from New Orleans, and in
going again back through Red
River or down the turbulent stream
of the great and glorious Missis-
sippi. l have stood upon the
guards of those palacial steamers
and watched the going down of the
gorgeous sunshine as it moved and
mingled with the waters. making
the FURNISHED tints almost equal
to an auroraborealis in extreme
northern chimes. AS the going
down of the sun this prosperous and
populous city also fell. But
time and tide may lift her up again
until the noon day of her life may
be painted with splendor. isis.
We have seen sea curiosity in
star6sh, sent with box of shells
by Chas. A Sims who is now on a
training ship in California, to his
mother, Mrs. j. W Sims Charlie
wrote from San Diego on Feb. 4th,
and said they had just gotten in
from three weeks cruise to Mag.
dalinc Bay, Honolulu, and Mid
way Islands. He said the shells
came from old Mexico.
