The Hoang-H o. or Yellow river. has
long been called the Woe OF China. be-
cause of its vast, ncontrollaole and
destructive floods. which have prob
ably been the worst in the world. de-
vastating thousands of miles OF land
and annihiliating the homes of mil
lions of people. We shall be fortunate
if corresponding name is not appro-
priately fixed upon the Mississippi.
which has for many years been period
ically the woe of America. and which.
with the progress of time and the in
crease OF population and of property
values along its course, shows no in
clinarion to mend its ways.
The problem of controlling that great
stream so as to prevent disastrous
floods may appear insoluble. 1t doubt
less is stupendous in magnitude. and
in difficulties. Yet its very magnitude
indicates the urgent desrabilitr of
solving it. We may grant that 1t Will
involve the greatest engineering works
ever undertaken in this or any other
country, but that does not necessarily
imply impossibility, and If competent
engineers should pronounce 1t posi-
BILE the problem would resolve itself,
first, into the selection OF the best
method OF work. and. second. into find
ing the ways to defray the cost. That
would be enormous, no matter what
method was adopted, but contvastcd
with it is the loss periodically imposed
upon the nation by the floods to which
the river is nov subject. Just now we
are entering upon the fral strokes OF
what has heen called the greatest en-
cheering work In the world. 1t might
be worth While to consider the prac-
ticability. TWO years hence, when the
isthn1ian work is done of directing the
engir eering ability which has proved
so sIlendidlv efficient at Panama to-
ward the problem! Of abating the Mis-
sissipp floods.
