from the point at which il now enters
Red river, just above Shreveport, to
Bayou Pierre, below Shreveport, by cut
ting or tunnelins tI1-caz!l the high lands
back of Shrever~a ling Bayou
Pierre, etc, which HIS been discussed,
were seriously considered and executed,
the route closer to Red river would re
claim a somewhat greater extent of ter
ritory.
The question of diverting the mouth
of Twelve Mile bayou from Red river
to Cross bayou is simply one Of expe
diency and Of cost.
| Drainage, during periods of mean
flood in Red river, would be greatly i'm
proved, not only for the territory above
Twelve Mile bayou, but for that between
Twelve Mile bayou and Cross bayou as
well.
| \ canal from a point in The Pass,
where it departs from Twelve Mile
! bayou, about opposite the outlet of Gil
mers ditch, by way of the Pass" and
Boomers ditch" to Cross bayou would
! be about 6.5 miles in length. This, eN-
cavated to a grade and width sufficient
! to accommodate, under extreme condi-
tons, the natural discharge of Twelve
Mile bayou, would, by taking advantage
! Of certain stretches OF adaptable cham
nels already apparently of sufficient
grade and section, involve the handling
OF about !, 100000 cubic yards Of earth
work, the cost of which should not ex-
coed $225, 10000.
If all the parties in interest will
thoughtfu1ly and carefully bear in mind
! that as long as Cross bayou remains
open to Red river, the effect of this ex-
tension of public 1evee above Shreve-
port simply means the lowering, during
periods of high water in Red river, OF
back water from Red river, in the basin
above Shreveport, from practically moth
ing at Cross bayou to possibly 3.5 feet
at the mouth of Gilners ditch, weigh
such benefits with the cost of the under
!, taking, and still regard the proposition
to be commercially advantageous, there
is no reason why, if the funds be avail
able, it should not, in the near future,
be seriously considered. Respectfully,
/ BOARD OF STATE ENGINEERS,

g1neer.

IA GENERAL DENIAL.

A few days since the blind senator
from Oklahoma, T. P. Gore, startled
the Nation by connecting Vice Presi-
dent Sherman with a scheme involving
an attempted bribery. In substance Sen
atore Gore has declared that former Ma
tional Committeeman Hamon had of
fered him bride if he would agree to
not oppose the Murray contracts. The
bride offered was $4,000. In this offer
the name of Vice President Sherman
was connected. The scheme was to OBJ
tain Indian lands for song. An inves-
tigation by congressional committee
win develop little of the truth. A gen
eral denial BY all concerned or connect
ed with the intended fraud is the answer
to Senator Cores charges. It is not
questioned that some of the men impli-
Gated may be innocent and it may be
possible that the charges may not be
fully sustained, but the great majority
of the people will not discredit Senator
Gore.
The Developments of recent date con-
Meeting men higher up in the govern
ment's service with suspicious schemes
have prepared the people for any revela-
tons involving what is termed graft.
The people are no longer surprised
when publicity is given to transactions
which are not regular and are lacking
the stamp OF honesty and integrity.
