He will reach his 10th milestone on

tai and physical Yigor the admiral Of
the navy bellies his years. Judged hy
any Of the standards that are common
ly applied To mankind he would be ac-
counted not more than IS or 80 years Of
age.
The admiral and Mrs. Dewey have re-
Gently taken possession Of a new home.
q house much larger than the one pre-
scented by tile nation, and in which
they had resided since the close of tho
Spanish war This new home. with it's
spacious dining room, will enable them
to entertain more extensively than was
possible in the dwelling of more model
size, and for which the admiral retains
q deep affection by reason Of its asso-
citations.
Although Admiral Dewey receives a
salary Of more than $4,000 a year it is
considered doubtful if he can be class"i
as other than poor man, considering
the great fortunes of today. Mrs.
Dewey, however, is wealthy. The adj
mirals wife, by the way, has had such
poor health of late years tina. she has
been able to go out in society bat little.
but She and the admiral delight to en-
terrain their friends in their hnine, and
some Of their hospitaiities in their new
house have been decidedly pretentious,'

President and Mrs Roosevelt were

SOUTHWEST PASS,
MISSISSIPPI, JETT|ES.
The 100000 Job Nearly Completed
and Proving Of the Greatest
Value to The River.

New Orleans. Dec. Gone Of the
greatest channel making undertakings
in the history Of American river i'm
prove ment will ne brought nearly 20
completion this week when the jcttieS
at the mouth Cf the Southwest Pass OF
the Mississippi river are finished. Those
jeltieS, after some dredging between
them is completed. will give the South
one of the deepest harbors In the world
by opening to the access Of the largest
steamships atioat the 13V and 2J0-foot
depths Of the lower Mississippi river.
The harbor thus made accessible has
navigable water connection with 1T
least 4 dozen states bordering the Mis-
sissippl and its tributaries. the Ohio,
Missouri. Arkansas and Red rivers.
About 100000 is being spent on this
Improvement by the United States gov
eminent, which has the work in Charge.
The new jetties We're begun four years
ago. Thy are on 4 larger scale and
more substantial than the famous jet
ties at the Mssissippis South Pass. an
outlet which for over 81 years has been
the rivers commercial entrance. They
are nearly parallel walls. one about
three and the other about four miles
built in the shoal water al the juncture
of the Pass with the Gulf Of Mexico.
Their purpose is to confine and thus
accelerate the rivers current across
mud bar about three miles broad, So
as to produce channel at least 1000
feet wide with n minimum depth of
81 feet. The swift current which they
have produced. aided by dredging, ever

made 80 to 81 feet Of water in some
places where at the beginning of tho
work the depth was but little over 4

spots about ~ feet Of mud 10 be re-
moved. 1t is expected that tho high

Probably few walls ever have been
constructed under greater difficulties
than were these jettieS.' They are made
Of willow. Scantlng. stone and con-
crete Although in some places they
are not six feet deep and although their
greatest depth is barely Is feet, they
have cost $a70o, 600. Every material en-
tering their construction has been
brought from distances Of 100 to 500
miles. The jetties have no foundation,
but rely for stability upon their eX-
tremely broad bases, being from 1903 to
$50 feet wide At the bottom. In con-

Of plotting to murder two people, pass

the hearing having been postponed for

receiving its finishing touches this
week, is but few feet wide. The
Gaping is & sea wall Az feet high and
is the only portion of the jetties not
submerged. The wall weighs between
two ard three tons per linear foot.
The submerged structure supporting
this mass OF concrete is made almost
entirely OF willow poles and brush
With the aid Of frame works of scant-
ling. the willows We're formed into So
called mattresses; broad, fiat structures
resembling bed mattresses in form, each
about two feet thick. 200 feet long and
varying in width from 81 to $50 feet.
The mattresses were sunk one above
the other. with the widest at the bot
tom and those above uniforn:allv di-
minishing i'll width as they approached
the surface. The topmost mattresses
We're uniformly IS feet wide and on a
level with the surface of the water
Heavy broken stone was spread evenly
over TIE mattresses to sink them. so
that 4 layer of stone rests between
each of these willow structures. The
greatest number Of Superimposed mat
treSSeS was five.
The Mississippi has done some very
interesting work i'll addition to scour-
ing out Il channel. for it has made the
mattresses practically indestructible to
any nOmal agency of nature in this re-
gion by burying them under hundreds
of tons Of mud. These deposits follow
closely the contour of the jetties, in
conjunction with which they form new
banks OF the river. The only change
likely to occur in the jetties is their
gradual sinking until in time the con-
crete Gaping entirely disappears. This
sinking already has occurred to tn"
jetties at South Pass.
, In the course of many years a new
bar may form by silt deposits in the
Gulf in the new deep water beyond
the mouth of the jetties, and then the
remedy will he the extension of the
jetties short distance further. The
rate of bar extension during nearly IS
years preceding the starting of the jet
ties was between $50 and 80 feet an
nually. and the deposits responsible
for this advance We're made when con-
ditions, now greatly changed, favored
such aCcretions.
Part Of the $4,000, 900 allotted 10 MAX
ing the channel is being spent III safe
guards several miles above the jetties
to prevent any increase in the flow of
other large outlets from the main river
to the Gulf This is being accomplish
ed by placing stone covered mattress
sils on the river bottom across the
entrances to these outlets. Several
small hayous leading from Southwest
Pass to the Gulf will be entirely closed
