New comes the question, Is the
river channel not wider than II should
be In front OF the Omaha union depot
II Is a well-known fact that a chan
mel that is wider than Il need Re- has
the effect of lessea'-y the : rent OF
the river. crl c-a-ins u deposit on
the hctton, and the formation OF
r1rt Lars and islands. A channel
hat is too wide thus tends to narrow
itself. A channel that is narrow has
usually swift current. This keeps
the deposits from gathering, and has a
tendency To scoop out and deepen
the channel.
Years ago there was great trouble
at the mouth of the Mississippi with
the deposits of earth, which were
continually interfering with naviga-
ton. The federal government kept
spending its money dredging out
passages for the ocean steamers, so
they could get to New Orleans. Al
length q government engineer pro-
posed the plan OF building bikes in
such q way as to narrow the channel
and thus make the current carry the
earth deposits far out to sea. The
plan was tried and has worked ad =
mirably.
