The South Pass Jetties—Ten Years' Practical Teachings in River and Harbor Hydraulics
Ten years ago, at this very time of the year, an earnest and heated controversy on the subject of improving the mouth of the Mississippi River was at its climax in Congress and in the public press. Two bills were before Congress—one containing the proposition of Mr. James B. Eads, M. Am. Soc. C. E., for improving the mouth of the river by means of jetties; the other, a bill presented through the Army Engineers for the construction of the Fort St. Philip Canal, leading from the river to the adjacent bay, about 40 miles above the mouth of the river. Hydraulic principles diametrically opposed to each other were presented by able advocates, and urged with all the force that could be brought to bear from facts, experience, prejudices and local interests.
