In all probability this very de
sirable result to the efforts of Mr..
BrOussard was made more easily
possible by his possession Of the
maps and profile prepared
by MIR, w b. Reed from his survey
of the Teche made last month for
the Teche Improvement Assocla-
tioE. Just two weeks ago we pub
llshed a review Of The organization

through personal canvas by Mr.
Chas. L. Provost to secure the
funds with which to pay Mr..
Reeds bill for that survey anv

If Mr.. Broussard will be sue,

such shape as to have il approved
by the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee, d2nd this session of Con.
giess to make the appropriation
necessary for the survey of the
Teche with a view Of giving fifteen
feet of water from its mouth to the
Keystone locks, the Reed survey
will have accomplished all that was
hoped for it. In the face Of the
information that has been 50 gen
orally given out through the press
that there would be no appropri

this session Of Congress one can
we'll imagine that Mr.. Broussard
has had no easy task in securing
this much for SO important a work

" Ashngton, Jan. 21.-It hooks
tnoW ~ II the rivers and harbors
bill to be reported VIII be one of
| she most important thai has been
brought IN for the,cason that il
~ gong 10 provide surveys for u
-llot Of new projects. One of the
largest of these probably will be
for what is known as the inside
channel from Boston 70 Key West,
ami which It Is hoped TO ultimate
y extend so there will be a safe
passage for ships Of comparatively
light draft from Boston to Browns
vile, Tex. The scheme was orig
lnally to provide merely for that
safe inside passage from Boston
to Beaufort NC, but the people be
tween Beaufort aud Key West took
an interest in Il, and 80 the project
Nlich was first known as the Bos-
ton TO Beaufort scheme is known
as the "Boston to Beaufort and
Beyond. " e
The lntcrcoastai channel scheme
IN which Louisianannd Texas are
SO much Interested rs logically a
part Of thescheme for sheltered
channel which. also will greatly
reduce the sailing distance be
tween the ports mentioned. On
the passage between Boston and
Philadelphia the proposed line Will
save 400 miles.
Southern Congressman have been
especially active IN pressing upon
the committee the necessity for
ordering surveys of streams IN
their section of the countryua Re
preventative Pujo wrestled with
the committee for quite while
this afternoon for favorable ac
ton on his bills for survey from
New Orleans to Brownsville, via

Representative Broussard o-day
introduced bill appropriatins
100000 for deepening the mouth
OF the Atchafalaya from fifteen tt
twenty one feet. The bill disects
the government engineers to fol
low the course of the channel dng
10y The Atchafalaya Bay Ship
Channel Company which has just
finished deepening the river to IF
teen feet
There Is a story back Of that di
rectiOn. The river has been three
times surveyed by army engineers
and each time they reported tba;
the work would cost about 81, 800,
900 to provide i channel 4welyc
fe& deep.
Then the ship channel company
took hold and produced u channel
fifteen feet deep for just one tenth
of what it was sad one Of twelve
feet depth would cost. That fact
interested the Rivers and Harbors
Committee. 1t became more deep
ly interested when the men " ho
did the digging SAID that for
100000 hey could increase the
depth to twenty-one feet. The
tota! coast, according to then est .
mates and oife", is to produce Il
channe! twenty one feet deep for
less than half what the govern
ment engineers said it would cost
to dig one twelve feet deep.
The discrepancy ia estimates is
attributed to the fact that the gov.
ernment engineers assumed that
the Atchafayala carries silt and
that the dredging would le
through mud that would slide
back into the trench. But it Is
not a sllt.carrying river and once
the dredge scoops up a buckctful
oil stuff from the bottom hoe
is produced that remains there
instead of filling up before the
next bucketful can be taken oat.

appear before the subcommittee in

suede it that the project is of an

the weather was anything but fav
orable for excursions into tho
country never theless. an attemp;
was made and we started for the
shores of Spanish Lake. On the
way we met Mr.. JAS. w. Wyche,
who advised that there would be
great difficulty in finding land Of
the character needed, in that sec
ton. Upon Mr.. Wyche's further
recommendation, we directed our
course to Aorbihan in an effort to
meet Mr.. 4. A. Therlot, who own
ed a tract in Little Fausse POinte
which admirably answers the de.
scIiption of the kind of land need
ed.
While we have experienced a
wonderful fall aud winter for their
many beautiful days, Mr.. Meyer,
by the irony of fate, was allowed
to sx the other side of the picture
the weather during his visit was
about as disagreeable as it knew
how to be. THIS feature, coupled
with many other disappointments,
prompted the apprehension that
he would unfavOrably report the
proposed experimental work in
this section.
At MOrbihan we learned that
Mr.. Thcriot was in town. Upon
returning to this city Mr.. Theriot
was located and the proposed
plans were laid before HIM. He
thought very favorabIy of the pro
position; was acquainted with the
bamboo as it grew in Cuba; had
;ried to awaken interest here some
ew years ago in the plant, but
his Lad failed. lie owned q tract,
