Book excerpt: Excerpt from Floods and Levees of the Mississippi River I have undertaken to collate such data, and set out in orderly sequence such related incidents as are thought necessary to a proper understanding of the problem to be solved. The platforms of all three of the great political parties in 1912, distinctly, specifi cally and emphatically declared that the control of the floods of the Mississippi River was a national problem, and the Democratic party went so far as to declare that this problem imposes an obli gation which alone can be discharged by the General Government. In accepting the nomination of the Baltimore Convention, Mr. Wil son said: In the case of the Mississippi River, that great central artery of our trade, it is plain that the Federal Government must build and maintain the levees and keep the great waters in harness fur the general use.

This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improvement of the Mississippi River: May 3, 1878 This river system, considered as a whole, extends from north to south, from one climate to another. Nature has provided that different cli mates shall furnish different products, and it is but in accordance with those designs and sound principles of political economy that the chief commercial exchanges Of the United States should be in the same direc tion. In America, at least, those principles of trade have been disre garded, and the exchanges have been too much on parallels Of latitude. But, regardless of what has been the practice, it is a fact which cannot be gainsaid, that the most important trade for the United States to secure is that of the nations lying south of us, and within easy reach of the Mississippi Valley. Of the valley itself it may be said that the northern and southern portions are, in climate, resources, and products, the supplement of each other. Of the valley, and the spanish-american nations, it may he said that one is, in climate, products, resources, supply, and demand, the complement of the other. The Mississippi River furnishes facilities for exchanges on that principle, and is, there fore, economically correct. True public economy requires that such laws of nature and trade be not disregarded. Again, this highway is in accordance with the rule of political economy as well as common sense, which is that channels of commerce be located in regions which are sufficiently fertile and settled to furnish products for transportation. The most productive portions of the United States are the rich valleys extending up and down the Missis sippi and its many tributaries. The highway was located where most needed, and where it can perform the greatest service in the shape of transportation. Again, it is in accordance with the strictest principles of political economy in that it was constructed without expense. The single State of New York had, up to the close of 1866, expended in the construction, improvement, and enlargement of her miles of canals. It will be Observed that the mileage of these canals which cost such an enormous sum is not quite one-tenth the mileage of the Mississippi River system which cost nothing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mississippi River: Its Hydraulics, Value, and Control If the volume of water were constant it is plain that the river would soon have a current of great regularity, because the deposit dropped in a wide part of the river lessens the capacity of the channel there by shoaling it and re-establishes the proper velocity of current, and thus stops further deposit at that place, whilst at the contracted channel the scour soon enlarges the passage and consequently reduces the current, and thus further scour ceases at that point.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Work of the Mississippi River Commission The Mississippi River lies almost unused in the most rapidly develop ing traffic region in the continent. It rises in the northern part of Minne sota and flows almost due southward. Emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. No other river system in the world offers such natural facilities for internal and external trade. As does the Mississippi and its branches. The basin of the river consists of nearly all the land in the United States between the Rocky and Allegheny Mountains. And has an area of one million two hundred and forty-four thousand square miles. For the purpose of traffic and engineering development. The river may be divided into six principal streams or collections; the main river below St. Louis. The Ohio. The Chicago-illinois route to the lakes. The Upper Mississippi, the Missouri. And the minor tributaries. The last includes. By a free use of the term. The Tennessee. The Cumberland. The Arkansas, and the Red River. The six divisions comprise at least eighteen thousand miles of channel susceptible of development to a navigable stage. Not including the allied waters to which they are connected. There has been no accurate estimate, but it is certain that more than sixteen thousand miles have actually been traversed by steam-boats and have been taken in charge by federal engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Mississippi River Commission: For 1884 This indicates that increment of volume will not be piled on top of the present ood heights, and that ood slopes cannot be changed over long distances from 25 to 75 per cent. The material Of the bed does not pos sess stability under the frictional resistance which such increased Slopes would indicate. Indeed, the impossibility of maintaining a slope greater than the average is indicated in the promptness with which slope is readjusted at every cut-off, where within a few hours the process of distribution is evident for very long distances, both above and below. It is believed, to the contrary, that if an increase of 50 to 75 of the discharge can be arbitrarily and repeatedly withdrawn from and re injected into the bed with very slight slope disturbance, it can be re tained throughout the entire course Of the river, and that even the maximum present discharge, by careful and judicious engineering, can be yet further safely increased, without ultimately raising the ood plane. The following tabulated extract from Plate no. I compares high and low water Slopes between the tributaries and a single intermediate sta tion.
