 The low water line at New Orleans being only ft. above sea level, with a depth of 30 to GO feet of water, it can be seen that not only would New Orleans be secure from floods in Inc future but that the largest vessels in inc world could enter it's harbor.
 The Mississippi river from the jet ties to the mouth of the Red river, would be a canal navigable at all times. with a little dredging perhaps, between Baton Rouge and the Red river and all that rich country on either side of the river from the month of the Red river to the gulf would be absolutely secure from floods

 The increase in velocity from the mouth of the Red River to the Gulf via the Atchafalaya would probably lower the grade line of high water to two tenths of a foot per mile, which would reduce the high-water line for that point (mouth of Red Rlver), 20 feet or more. This reduction in high water mark would probably extend as far north as Memphis or even Cairo; thus it can be seen that the levee as now built from Memphis to the Gulf would be of ample height and strength to give safety to the adjacent country for probably a hundred years or more.
 Would this improvement leave New Orleans an inland city? Nc. For the slowing down of the velocity of the water in the Mississippi from the mouth of the Red River to the Gull Va the old channels would result in un the sediment being carried to sea va the Atchafalaya, leaving the old chan mel 0 clear water canal which could be maintained at all times by a little dredging such as is necessary now at the jetties. The railroads entering New Orleans could then bridge the Mississippi River there and would profit in the long run by ohviating the flooding of their tracks
