Gen l.. II. leach, Chief Of Engineers,
Ga,. Oi'.~s f4'e All Right. An

J.. 4e.t"r written to Walter Park
o2r r"l 1anagrr of the New Or
1.als >suciatiun of Commerce, Gen.
.ans:ng i. Beach, chief Of engineers,
states that since no lcvee has broken
whicn has been brought up to stand
ard grade and cro@s-sectiOn, and since
no standard levee has shown any
weakness, it is unfair to condemn the
Ievet system of keeping the Mlssis-
sippi river within its course. In his
letter General Beach says:
at is rny understanding that no
levee throughout the whole length of
the Mississippi river which had been
brought to Mississippi River Com
mission grade and cFoss-aectlon~ gave
any trouble during the present flood,
or was even the source of any anXi-
ETY.. Someone has evidently started
propaganda, Judging from the letters
which arc reaching this office, and |
would like to invite attention to the
fact that indiscrimnate accusation
against adopted methods can result
only in harm and merely will delay
the completion of the work on the
Mississippi.
The fact that lcvee in the vcin-
ity Of Natchez broke under the strain
is no argument against the levee sys-
tenn, for that particular levee was
not up to Mississippi River Commits
sion grade ana crosssection and
therefore, the question of the sutfS
cheney OF the Ievee to control the
food was in no way decided or even
affected by this case.
"If you were building a house and
heavy rain occurred when the shlng-
ling was half completed, you prob
ably would not condemn the plan be-
cause the roof leaks. If you and
others are going to raise the question
as to whether there should be some
other method adopted than that which
Congress already has determined,
You are simply going to bring con-
StructlOn work to a standstiIl until
the advocates of the various methods
have had time to thresh the matter
out, which Judging from past expe-
riences may be several years. |
would suggest that careful consider
alton be given to this feature of the
question before any agitation be
started casting undeserved reflection
powesent methods and involving
probable suspension of work until the
continuance of the present plan is
confirmed or something else adopted.
FINALLY, do you or does anyone
else after reflection think the Con-
gress will be likely to abandon a
method which has proved successful
as far as it has been put into prac-
tlce and after such larg' expendi-
ture of money as has already been
made, throw that method aside and
start afresh with another with which
success cannot be guaranteed any
more than with the one at present
partly executed"

THE FLOOD PROBLEM.
Waters of Mississippi May Be Di-
verted to Atchafalaya River.

1t is reported from Washington
that members of Congress from the
states not subject to overflow are
more concerned than ever before
about flood control on the lower
Mississippi They recognize that
the problem is a national one and
that it should be solved by the fed
eral government. The opinion seems
to be unanimous that al levees
should be brought up to tlR n grade
and section prescribed by "a 2e Mis-
si.;*ippi River Commission, G ID the
question uppermost in the AS nds of
congressman and engineers what
can be done to supplement levees.
The project of diverting so of the
water from the Mississippi by way
Of the Atchafalaya is receiy ng seri-
ous consideration.
1t is $50 miles shorter om the
mouth of the Atchafalaya way of

Largest Ship in the World.

The great White Star liner, Majes-

locked in New York city a few days

feet long, 100 feet wide and 1O2
feet deep from the captains bridge
to the keel. The ship weighs 64,-
600 tons, its displacement is $4,000
tons, horsepower 100000 and speed
25 knots, or nearly 80 miles and

Levee Breaks at Penal Farm.

A break occurred in theh levee at
Bob's Bayou about two and a half
miles from the main buildings on the
Angola convict farm in West Felici-
ana parish, early Wednesday morn
ing. The whole of the 6000-acre
farm will be inundated, the big re-
finery flooded, and the fine cane crop
on the place ruined. The 1000 con.
victs who were on the farm at the
time and the live stock were removed
to places of safety.
The plantation is surrounded by q
range of hills, and will serve as q
pocket for the crevasse water anC
limit the territory flooded.
This break will not affect the stage
in the Mississippi river, as the flow
of water will cease as soon as it has
attained a level on the land cores
ponding to that in the river.
