Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report Upon the Improvement of the Ohio, Monongahela, and Wabash Rivers Officer in charge Maj. W. E. Merrill, Corps of Engineers, having under his immediate orders Lieut. F. A. Mahan, Corps of Engineers. 1. Improvement of the Ohio River. - The contracts outstanding at the end of the last fiscal year were for the extension of the French Island dike; the completion of the dike at Evansville; the completion of a dike at Henderson Island, and the construction of a dam at the same place. The French Island dike has been extended 1,518 feet, making a total length of 3,498 feet, or two-thirds of a mile. The result thus far has been quite satisfactory. Very little was done at the Evansville dike beyond repairing damages and stopping a threatened scour below the shore-end. The flood of August so reduced the working-season that no work could be done on the proposed extension of 500 feet. The dike has done excellent service, and it is believed that when extended as proposed the Evansville bar will be entirely removed. Its present length is 1,525 feet. The dike at Henderson Island has been completed, its total length being 1,900 feet. It has had an excellent effect on the bar on which it is built, but it has but little effect on the bar at the foot of the island, and it will probably be necessary to build another dike about 4,000 feet below the present one in order to remove this obstruction. The dam behind Henderson Island has been repaired and completed. Its length is 620 feet, and its width 50 feet. It has fully accomplished its object of forcing all the water, at stages below 6 feet, to pass alongside of the dike. The snag-boat E. A. Woodruff has been completed and put in commission. From the 8th to 30th of June, she had removed 123 snags and 2 wrecks, and is still at work doing good service to Ohio River commerce. The Government dredges Ohio and Oswego have been in constant service, except during the months of ice and high water.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Views on the Proposed Improvement of the Ohio River The value of the commerce passing annually along the thousand miles of river between its head at Pittsburgh, and its mouth at Cairo, is enormous - not less than three hundred millions. And the business would annually increase much more rapidly but for the frequent and long continued interruptions caused by want of water in the channels. Hence, the preservation and improvement of this stream as an economi cal avenue for the interchange of a national commerce, has assumed a national importance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Consideration of the Plans Proposed for the Improvement of the Ohio River Mr. Ellett has considered this subject in connec tion with the regulation of the oods, and has shown from an accurate record of observations, extended over a period of six years, that the fall of water upon the surface drained by the Ohio is sufficient, exclusive of loss by evaporation, to maintain a regular current of sufficient depth for navigation throughout the year, and a similar condition of things would no doubt exist upon nearly all the other great tributaries of the Mississippi.
