THE RED RIVER CUTOFF.

In the Caucasian's issue of Sunday
December z6, there was published the
protest of Capt. C. P. Truslow against
the Red river cutoff" project now
pending in Congress. Since then the
same article, word for word. has been
revived and given publication, with suit
able headlines, under the Geographic
date New Orleans, Dec. 2o, etc.
The same article appeared in the New
Orleans Picayune December 20.
However, this is itnmaterial, as the
greater and more widespread the pub
location. the greater number of the peo-
pie, directly interested in this RED
river cutoff will become informed.
The purpose Of the project is to cut
Of the Red river and the Ouachita river
from the Mississippi and turn these
sss4eass.s down the Atchsfalaya.
AS practical, intelligent man, pos
sessed of years of experience as a
steamboat man, who has had oppor-
]. tunitiea to know the rivers, Captain c.
PIP. Truslow has protested and given
4 plain reasons therefor.
He believes that the Atchafalays
river should continue to act as the great
exhaust valve to carry off the volumes
Of excess water in time of food of the
Mississippi river.
Should the project be carried out he
points cut the necessity of stronger ant
higher levees, to resist the pressure ii
the river In time of flood.
To appreciate Captain Truslow's pro.
test, his article In the Sunday Caucasian
Of December rs, and the Weekly eau
casian of December 80, should be pc
rused carefully What he says is great
concern to the people of the Red river
and the Ouachita valleys, who, wher
they realize what may be the conse-
quences of the proposed project, vii
not fail to join Captain Truslow in hi:
protest.

the Arcanum in this state. whether be-
longing 10 local councils or from
abroad. in all cases of emergency. The
funds for this purpose of carrying on
this work are raised by volunteer
contributions Of the members. State
Medical Examiner Dr. Edward D. Hall
Of Mcriien provided the hospital fund
boxes or banks, to be distributed
among the different councils in the
state. and this box is supposed to be
passed at every meeting Of the cOun-
els.
The contributions in previous years
averaged from four 70 six hundred dol
lars and the amounts contributed have
been sufficient to pay the running OK
penses Of the association. II is in no
way connected with the Royal Area
