IN NIENIORIANI


IN MENORIAM-In loving remembrance of
our darling son, Alfred Whitaker, who de-
parted this life Sept. Is. 1921
A precious one from Us has gone,
A voice we loved is still.
A place Is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
God in his loving mercy came
And called our boy so dear.
From earthly pain and suffering
That had grown too hard TO bear.
Patiently ne suffered, till the close OF a
long sad day,
Then with farewells, all spoken, he calmly
passed away
We loved him yes We loved him.
But-the angels loved him more,
And they have sweetly taken him
To you bright and shining shore.
Silently We pressed a kiss upon his still
cold brow,
And IN the lonely home, We know. there ia
no dear one now.
Tenderly beneath the flowers, we laid the
weary frame,
and in bleeding hearts. we feel orr loss.
But heavens gain
He Is gone, but not forgotten,
Never shall his memory Jade,
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where he is laid.
Sadly missed by FATHER, MOTHER.
SISTERS AND BROTHERS.

that only a big rain could flood the
cessive high water or current In
Bayou Teche in the event this cut is
made.
NAVIGATION.
The navigability Of Bayou Teche
will certainly be greatly improved by
this canal by the removal of the
lilies and mud from the channel and
by slight increase in depth due to
the stage of the bayou being a lit
tie higher. The additional current
will be a slight impeachment to tow
ing logs up stream, but this will be
more than compensated for many
times over by the improvement of
channel. Navigation through the
canal strikes me as being Of sufti-
cient Importance to be worthy Of
consideration. Two boats leaving the
Park at the mouth of Bayou Plaq-
uemine, one going down Grand River
and Bayou Long to Berwick's Bay
and up the lower Atchafalaya and
Bayou Teche, while the other travel
ing at the same speed goes up
Grand River to LaRompe and down
it and L'Embarras, Lake Long and
Lake Round, Grand Coule and Bayou
Portage to the canal and thence
down Bayou Teche, would meet a:
Oxford Plantation in Irish Bend, the
distance being about "a miles in
each instance. New Iberia would be
more than sixty miles nearer by go
ing through the canal. Traffic down
the upper Atchafalaya would find it
nearer through the canal at all
points above Garden City. This, of
course presumes that the route is
open through Lakes Long and Round.
At present that country is filling up
so rapidly with sediment that the
channels change over night. 1t is
certain, however, that channels must
and will be maintained somewhere.
There is much timber in that terri
tory that can not be got out, now
without dredging. It may prove ad-
vantageous to bring this timber in
through this canal. Packet boats
from Plaquemine would save much
time and money if they could con-
tinue around the circuit instead of
backing down Bayou Teche when
they reach the end Of their route.
The waterways of Louisiana will
be developed and this can be made
a most important link. Bayou Teche
traverses the best of Louisiana and
has the resources to enable the ex-
pense to accomplish this develop
ment. Even though this canal is cut
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1922-11-04

only as matter Of sanitation an,
removing the lilies, it should be sc
designed that it can without materlaI
loss be enlarged to meet conditions
of navigation that will arise in the
future.
SUMMARY.
From the data which | have ex-
amined, | believe that it is safe tc
conclude that a canal with forty
foot bottom and carrying SIX feet
of water at extreme low water stage
can be dug from Bayou Teche about
a mile above Loreauvllle to Bayou
Portage about two miles above Its
mouth at a cost of between $780,
900 to $150,0O0.
The current at extreme low water
if not unduly Influenced by tide, and
without the aid of rain, will renew
the water in Bayou Teche about
every forty days. The effect of tide
will be to aid this condition because
owing to the shorter distance and
larger area of Grand Lake, rise in
tide, due to east wind, will be felt
in the lake sooner than in the uppe,
reaches Of Bayou Teche, and will
cause an increase of flow through
the canal into Bayou Teche. Hence
fresh water will be taken into Bayou
Teche through both ends. On re-
ceding tide, there may be slight
reversal of current in the canal for
a short time, but | doubt it, because
the head water coming down the
Atchafalaya from Red and Missis-
sippi Rivers will have been temper
arily blocked and the swell due there
to must find relief. Even at extreme
ly low water, there is always enough
head water coming out of the Atcha-
falaya to be equivalent to at least
two feet of fall which is sufficient
to maintain a current, though not
great one.
The benefits to sanitation must
necessarily be great although I'M
fortunately the pollution due to
sugar houses will not be entirely
overcome until about December when
the current will stiffen up. From De-
cember until August there should al
ways be an abundance of good pure
water in Bayou Teche and current
enough to run the lilies out and
keep them out, besides supplying all
the rice pumps that can be installed
and obviating the possibility of salt
water.
This can all be done without any
danger whatsoever from excessive
current or high water in Bayou
Teche.
If it is decided to go further, the
next step will be to locate the canal,
compute the cost of earthwork, road
and railroad crossings, right of way
and write specifications for doing the
work.

exceptional water brought about by
conditions which are not apt to oc-
cur again, let us take the water of
1912 as a maximum against the dam
gers of which it is necessary to
guard.
Due to the fact that the cross
section of the canal through which
the water from the lake will reach
Bayou Teche will be only about one
fourth Of that Of Bayou Teche, the
velocity in the canal will be about
four times as much as in the bayou.
The total fall between Lake Dau-
terive and Morgan City in 1912 was
about IL feet. The canal from Bayou
Portage will consume about 2 feet
Of this, leaving the water in Bayou
Teche at Gonsoulin's bridge about 3
feet higher than it was this year.
From inquiries of Messrs. Vaughn
and Mestayer, I learn that this would
do no harm except perhaps to gard
ems that were placed too low along
the bayou bank.
Now, this increased water level
would diminish in an almost uniform
ratio in descending the stream and
be practically nothing at the mouth
of the bayou above Patterson. Two
and half feet more could be ex-
pected at New iberia than this year
two feet more at Jeanerette, at
Franklin less than a foot. These fig
ures are based on 1912 water. As
to increased velocity in Bayou Techc
it could not become more than a foot
per second or say three quarters of
a mile per hour. In fact it does not
figure much more than half thai
much. Even if the water was let in
to Bayou Teche with the full capa-
city of the Bayou at Loreauville,
the small slope Of IL feet in n
miles could not possibly produce a
velocity of more than a foot and a
quarter per second or still some
thing less than a mile per hour.
AS a practical confederation of
these figures, l cite the canal from
Bayou Teche above the Keystone
Locks into Vermilion River. Not
withstanding, this years food crea-
ted a very high stage on Bayou
Teche above the Keystone Locks, the
volume of water that the canal could
put into Vermilion River raised the
river but little because the capacity
of Vermilion River is far greater
than that of the canal. The Baldwin
Lumber Co. expected good floating
conditions on account Of this canal
and were disappointed. They found
