Lake Torgno vs, the Ends Jettirs—Capt. Cowdon's Plan Too Cheap to Iie Popular, but It llas the Indorsement of Aany Distinguistied Mon, To the Editor af The Tribune, 8r. Lot Oct. 17.—Under the heading of “The Misstssippl-River Problem,” o weckly licet published in your city, called the An- pincering News, in reviowing a controversy now becoming general throughuut the country, takes oceasion to refer to myself In a way that re- quires some botice on wmy part, Inasmuch as thu subject involves great and important public interests, oud to which Tug TrinvNg has often referred, I will be glad to make known to the publie through your columus the views I hold in regard to it, und which I have mado the sub- fect of practical as well as theoretical study during the greater portion of my lfe. The writer fu tho News starts out with makiog & statement which s untrue fu point of fact and evidently Intended to make a falso fvression and Dolster up a theory which test and experi- ence have shown to bo erroncous. fers is what he says: ' With 22 feet of water from New Or- Jeans to the Gull, it might have been expected that the noxt great question would be the regu- lation and control of the channel to New Or- 1cana, and It has proven true” Now, since the dredgge-boat has stopped work, . TUERE I NO 22-FOOT CIANNEL in tho south or jetty pase. Tho fact is, that, white vesscls can go out drawine 21 feet of water, none can come In_drawing over 20 feet. But, even If there were 23 fect, this {s no mnore depth than was I tho Southwest L'ass durlug 1577, and oftcn at times before, as may L seen by reference to the report of Ma, How- el for 1877, and which {s cupled on page 4 of my memorlal to Congress. ‘Thia report shows that o number of vessels went out through that pass drawing as much water as the vesscls which now go out throdgh the jettits. Ttisa singular fact thnt ali those who write up the deep water In the jetty chauncl never mention the fact that thore was us much water made by the United Btates dredge-boats Easoyons and MeAlister as Is now in the South Puss by the dredge-boat Dalley. No man opposed_dredging more than did the jetty contractor, He rald dredging would not do, but that his jcttics would make 80 foct of water. If ho was right in this sssertion, why dves he now resort to dredeing to get 23 feet, and how doca it happen that whon le stops dredging his chanuel fAlls up to 20 feet, os {5 the cass now?l The truth fa that the day ho bullt his dredgo- boat the Jetty project wasa confessed fallure, aud It fa about tiine to stop this delusion that the E‘emel alone hiavo created a despies channel at tho outlet of tho Mississipp! thau existed be- fore. Thero aro hydro-dynamic forces onerating at tuo varlous outlets of the Mississlopl which preveut tho jotties from having any more pusl- tively permanent effect thau the uatural flow of the river woter, and they no more than the uatural low can dispeuee with the artificial proc- a8 of dredglng to maintalu a chaunel of 23 Teot tn depth, which s the utmost that con bo hed and maintained.
