THE OMAHA DAILY BEE::[NUESDAY, JUNE_7. 1887, 3 beat the Lee in a race of any distance under equal conditions, The partisans of the magniticent Lee were equally certain that their boat was the swiftcst craft, and although no formal ehallenge between captains passed, it was understood that a trial of speed would take place on the 1st of July, on which date both boats were advertised to leavi ew Orleans for St Lows. The Lee had perfected every ar- rmlgn-m»ul 1o win, and instead of stop- ping to “wood up,'’ as usual, was met by or and the pine knots and wood ed to the boiler-deck while the boats ranning at full speed whistle of the Lee signaled the start on the morning of the ‘st of July and a few minutes later the Natchez shrieked back a defiance and swung out into the stream. Both crews were made up of picked men, and just enongh freight was carried to ballast the boats properly. The papers had been filled vith r» ferences to the gro: race for and the banks of the river from wa 1)xlv.mn to St. I.uun w lined with_people.

One of the features of the week past was the light run of cattle and an increased de- mand, with the usual advance ot the market. In the Montgomery Advertiscr appears the following St. Louis letter giving some reminiscences of interest: ‘The curious pranks of the great river have always :d with suspicion and alarm by rnment engineers and municipal authorities. When St. Louis was a small town the river made a bold and almost successtul attempt to cut a new channe lonl clear i f B 0 he | ot ot throo tuiles onst of its present coutse. | this mannot 108t considerable ime..

The run of cople gathered on the St. Louis levee rom St. Louis to Carondelet and wit- nessed the triumpant entry of the R. E. Lee. The Lee's time for the twelve hun- dred miles ireo days ¢ight hours and fourteen minutes. The Natchez ar- rived some hours later, and her time w three days twenty-one hours and fifty- eight minuies "The record of th . White, made in 1844, three d y-three hours and nine minutes, had been the fastest up to that period. The captain of the Natchez was not ied with the result, and challenged the Lee to another race. In October, 1870, they raced from New Orleans to N h-hrv three hundred miles, and the Natchez won in sixteen hours and fifty- onc minutes. The Lee's time was six- teen hours and fifty-nine minutes, - FINANU! Al. leave the city “high and dry,”" and itis to the active intelligence and engineel ing skill of Licutenant R. E. Lee that the city owes its present harbor, The Mississippi forms a semi-circle about St. Louis,and the territory thus in- closed hasa water frontage of fourteen miles. The levee extends from Caron- delet on the south to the waterworks on the north, along the entire water front of the city. Only about five miles of it is improved, and this portion is directly in | gy front of the business part of the city. The site of St. Louis was originally a succession of natural terraces, reaching back two miles from the river, Then the ¥ruun<l sloped downward and was cut up by deep ravines and covered with numer. ous ponds. The river front in the vi- cinity of the {)resent bridge was origin- ally a high bluff, and the early inhabi- tants had nothing to fear from high water., This blufl hus been cut down for miles, and its base transformed intoa levee. The street dircetly facing the water was called Kront strect, but now since its glory has departed, it is known as the Levee. The improved portion of the St. Louis levee is un inclined plane, pa with stone, extending from the street level to the 'water. The distance from the lrex to the water depends on the mood the river. The plane is paved fully three hundred feet, and the water is in a ho:s has been heavy all the past week.

The largest dyke in this vicinity is the Madison county, [llinois, dike, which ex- tends from a polln opposite tha raouth of the Missouri to East St. Louis. This varies from twenty to thirty feet in height and about the same in width, It rmucu the land from any ordinary rise n the river, but there is nothing that can x_ rotect them from an extraordinary rise. 'he Madison county dike brokein 1852,and in one night an avalanche of water ten feot in height swept over the American bottom for 100 miles, destroying stock, orops, and human lif. The nruest au- thentic account of u flood is found in an old document in Kuaskaskia. the oldest settlement in the state, and situated on the “bottoms.” This flood occurred in 1724 and the water extended tothe bluffs. In 1785 a terrible flood occurred, and the mighty stream spread over a wilderness six miles wide and tenanted only by wild beasts and a few Indians and’ settlers. "I'he year w: known to the French in- habitants as ‘‘I’annee des grandes eaux." In 1844 the river rose forty feet above low water mark and inundated the en- tire American bottom.
