lance from the mouth of the Red
river to the Gulf is 800 miles. The
fall of the Mississippi river from the
mouth of the Red river to the Gulf
is about one-tenth of foot per mile;
Of the Athafalaya about three ten
this of foot to the mile.
The increase in velocity from the
mouth of the Red river to the Gulf
via the Athafalaya would probably
lower the grade line of high water
to two-tenths OF foot per mile,
which would reduce the high-water
line for that point (mouth of Red
river). 20 feet or more. The reduc-
ton in high-water mark would prob
ably extend as far north as Memphis
or even Cairo; thus 1t 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? No.
For the slowing down OF the velo-
city of the water in the Mississippi
from the mouth of the Red river to
the Gulf via the old channels would
result in all the sediment being car
ried to sea via the Atchafalaya, leav-
ing the old channel clearwater
canal. which could be maintained at
all times by 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 obviating the flooding of
their tracks.
The jetties at the mouth Of the
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-01-04

Mississippi could be dredged to a
depth of 40 to so feet, and remain
SO, for no sediment would be going
out that way to fill them up. The
high-water line at New Orleans
would hardly exceed 10 feet above
low water.
The low-water line at New Or
leans being only l foot above sea
level, with a depth of so to so feet
of water, 1t can be seen that not
only would New Orleans be secure
from floods in the future but that
the largest vessels in the world could
enter its harbor.
The Mississippi river, from the
jetties to the mouth OF the Red river,
would be a canal. navigable at all
time, with little dredging, per-
haps. between Baton Rouge and the
Red river; and all that rich coun-
try on either side Of the river from
the mouth OF the Red river to the
Gulf would be absolutely secure
from floods.

PLAN FOR SHORTEN
ING THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER 200 MILES
(By M. F. Jefferdo, in Popular
Mechanics.


The levee system on the Mississip-
pi river from Cairo to the Gulf of
Mexico was intended to protect the
cultivated lands adjacent to the riv-
er. This system has resulted in
building up the bed of the river
from year to year by reason of the
fact that all of the tributary streams
running into the Mississippi river
have greater velocity, and conse-
quently sediment brought into the
main river whose current Is slower
is deposited In the river between
Cairo and the Gulf. This is the main
cause Of the food line going higher
each year with given rainfall.
Now, the most practical and cheap
est remedy for this is to make a
shorter outlet to the sea for this
vast volume Of silt-bearing water
and this outlet is via the Atchafa-
laya River. the source of which is
near the mouth of the Red river
where 1t empties into the Mississip-
pi. The Achafalaya river runs
straight to the tidewater of the Gulf
a distance Of about 100 miles. where
as, via the Mississippi river, the dis

Several wks ago there was a
noosepaper come to the Bingville P.
o. by mistake adresd to a party by
the name of John Smith, at the co
seat. Well, Eph Higgins our accom-
modating P. M. kept the moose
paper in the rs" box for quite a
spell but being as it remained un-
cald for Eph thort he might as well
open it and read it which he done
Among other things which Eph
read in the noosepaper was a ed
dytoriul which said that owink to
the fackt that diplomatick relash-
ions had been broke off betwixt the
INVITED States and Germany the u.
s. Guvverment advised evrybuddy
who had emmy land to plant twict
as mulch or more crops than ushual
becus the Unyted States would haft
to feed not only the AlIvs (who-
ever they be) but also o''rselfs here
to home.
It was turrible surprise to evrv-
buddy in Bingville to learn that di-
plomatick relashions h a d been
broke off betwixt this country and
Germany and being as the eddvto-
riul on the noosepaper spoke of hint
ed that we mite have war with Ger
many Ole Dad Henderson who fit
and fled in the Sivil War of the
Rebellyun got out his ole army
musket which he brung home with
him when he reed a honorable dis
charge and lied it up & put a load
in same and said that altho he
would be 70 yrs of age on his birth
day come next September and wore
wood leg which he had lost in
the Sivil War he would respond to
the call of arms & fife for the de-
Tense of his country if necessary.
The pecooliar part of the affair
was that after Ole Dad had loaded
up his musket he tribe the trigger
to ascertain if possibil whether he
had put enuff lie on same or not.
1t pears he had for the blamed
thing went off with defining re-
port. Dad was settin in the Twin
room of his house at the time and
the bullet from the musket went
thru the winder shattering two
lights of glass and carrying away
porshion of the sash. Not only
thus but when the bullet had did
that it went on in a strate line until
it hit the big gilt wether vane
