The Damming Of Cane River.


A scheme known as the CANAL
zation of Louisiana" has been on
foot for several years, and we un-
derstand the plan has been en-
dorsed by many eminent engineers
as perfectly feasible. It contem-
plates the damming the mouth
of Cane river opposite Colfax and
the nutting of q lock and food
gaze in the dam through which
steamboats, will be able to pass.
The proposition proposes to fur
nish irrigation and transportation
to an extensive area of country
which now has none, extending
from Bayou Pierre. in Red River
parish to Natchitoches and using
Cane river as q part of the canal,
it Is to extend ipto south Louisiana
by way Of or near Alexandria
through the net work of bayous
that thread the southern portion
of the State. We believe Con-
gresham Aswell is enlisted in
support Of this proposition. as
being of great benefit to large
area of country and desired by
many people, and we hope to hear
from him as to the present status
