The river, in its winding course to the Gulf of Mexico, covers a range of six and one-quarter degrees of longitude ilatitude. The river starts ’sprlngs near Lake Itasca and the isource is 1,500 miles above the sea level. The average fall of the river is 1.5 feet per mile. The area drained by the Missip- sippi River is too vast for sudden {comprehension. It equals nearly one-half of the area of the entire United States, and is 1,256, 000 miles in extent. It touches three States, two territories, and two prov- inces in British America. Only seven States to the westward and eight te the east lie entirely beyond the in- fluence of this river. | The headwaters of its tributaries extend in longitude from New York on the east to Western Montana on the West. In latitude they reach from British America on the north to the Gulf of Mexico on the south, in all about 1,8¢0 miles of longitud. and 1,500 miles of latitude. At flood time the discharge of this fluvial giant amounts to 2,000,000 | cubic feet of water per second. This is what the Federal and State authorities are trying to control and there is small wonder that they have a gigantic task on their hands. One jand eighteen and one-half degrees of | from | held in awe and reverence by the ab- 'origlnal tribes and all the early ad- |venturers who penetrated as far iwest and south. Back farther still, to the time when the river was a vast !estuary or arm of the sea, and in its ’\\'ulcrs swam strange and uncouth ronsters of a forgotten period and age, the valley was ruled by this great stream. But as the Spaniard {discovered, and later, the French and 'English, this great valley and the |delta country was the richest that God ever gave to man. Since that time there has been going on a con- stant and never-ending fight for su- premacy between the Father of Waters, and the men who have taken their abode in the fertile bottoms. At that time the bark canoe and dug- out of the Indian and the bateau of the French settler were the only craft plying the river. Then the French took the upbuilding of Louis- fana and with them came ships. Fol- lowing them were the English. The pioneer post established on the river by the French was in 1699, by the famous d'Iberville. The English came later, and New Orleans was founded in 1718. It is a well-known fact that at flcod-time the Mississippi river car- ries a great deal of silt and sand along with it. This is eroded from the banks and held in suspension by the current till its velocity reaches such a low ebb that it is deposited. By this means the many bars and crossings in the river are formed and the bed of stream built up as well as the banks. | . t ORDINANCE NUMBER 138.
