The history of the Mississippi as a
highway of commerce, like the his-
tory of many enterprises and nations,
Bhows a period of rise, a period of
maximum importance and one of de-
ct:ne. The days when Mark Twain
followed Its fortunes were the flood
tide. In the middle third of the last
century the truffle along tlic river as a
path of transportation between tho In-
terior and the gulf seaboard existed
With the advent of a railroad, how-
ever, Unking together the novth and
the south, the decline of the Missis-
sippi as a national highway began.
At that time, too, says Robert Mar-
shall Brown in the Hulletin of the
American Geographical socfety, there
seems to have arisen a belief among
merchants and traders In grain that
its transit through zones of warmer
weather was injurious to that staple
and even ia the years that followed,
when the shippers had freed them-
selves from the superstition of the
warmer zone's effect on grain, much
of the grain was shipped overland
from St. Louis to New York and there
loaded for foreign trade.
At the present time there are In the
opinion of Mr. Brown, three factors
working toward the rehabilitation of
the Mississippi river as an artery of
commerce—the maintenance of a low
water channel, the survey of a 14-foot
waterway and the Panama canal.
The first, of these factors is already
beginning to have a beneficial effect,
and in 1899, three year after the proj-
ect of sustaining dredges which
should 'operate in tho low-water sea-
son from July to January was adopted,
ftet increase in deposts ill I a navigable channel of eight and one
half feet was maintained from Cairo
ans. An examination and
investigation In regard to the 14-foot
waterway Is now In progress and plans
are being prepared anil the cost esti-
mated for such a course. The opening
of au isthmian canal is still so far in
the future that Us effect upon the de-
velopment of the Mississippi can only
be conjectured. Mr. Brown considers
however, that while the river will al-
ways be a factor in the commerce of
the Mississippi valley it is improbable
that It will ever again attain its old
importance.
