LOCKS COMPLETED.

Times Democrats:

| Times Democrat:
Twenty-nine years since the in
ception Of the plan, and more than
ten years since actual work was
begun, the locks at Plaquemine,
La, connecting the Mississippi riv-
er and Bayou Plaquemine are COM
pleted. There still is temporary
dam on the bayou side, and bank
of earth on the river side. Both
of these must be removed before
the locks can be used, but the lock s
| themselves are finished.
The Mississippi at present 10 high,
flowing even with the top Of the
banks at that particular point.
The earth on the riverside and the
temporary dam on the bayou side
ean not be dredged away until low
water. This is likely to be several
months, but when the river settles
to its normal level, there will be
nothing but few weeks digging
before the locks are put into use.
The Plaquem.ne locks conn ect the
Mississippi river with Bayou
Plaquemine, THENCE with Pigeon
Bayou, GRAND lake. and the
Atchafalaya river, making a direct
route by river from any point on
the Mississippi to- southwestern
Louisiana. This is expected to
bring considerable river traffic to
New Orleans from this section.
The Plaquemine locks have cost
the United States about 100000,
and eleven years have been requir-
ed for the completion Of the task.
Work was begun on the locks in
August, 1898. The plan first was
proposed in 1880, when the Mississi-
ppi River Commission was organ
ICED.
The distance between the river
ana Plaquemine Bayou Is about SO
feet, but at high water, the river Is
nearly thirty-two feet above the
bayou. The locks are Of the best
pattern, set in heavy concrete walls.
The task of building them has been
attended with great difficulty.
banks have caused trouble,
ana the walls themselves tilted and
cracked, throwing the gates of the
locks out Of line 50 they would not
tit against each other, and causing
no end Of extra labor.
It is this task which has occupied
the attention Of the engineers for
\ long time, but finally the defect
has been remedied.

until the streets were buried sew

city was cut off from outside com.

wires were down and the wind had
brought down the poles and left
loose wires swinging IN the streets.
Never before had there been such
dcsolation on Inauguration day.
The seats in the grand stands
which had been erected all along
the line OF the march were banked
with snow. The decorations had
either faded out in hideOus blurs

from the nation to reform IL. He was
to bring a distinguished foreign officer

has come. and so, Col. Zorbas says the
state of the army Is far worse than IL

has compulsory service and nominaly
