LOUISIANA
Plckanlnny Jazz Orchestra in New Orleans.
(Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Washington. D. c.)— WNU Service.
LOUISIANA has dedicated her
new domeless capltol building,
a gigantic pile of limestone
which rises 83 stories above
the streets of Baton Rouge.
Louisiana boasts many modern
buildings in her bustling cities, but
the fame of the state Is not confined
to architecture. It is more widely
known for its equitable climate, Its
tranquil scenic beauty, and a hospitality
which makes the manifold
claims of her citizens as to the state's
point of excellence seem a bare recital
of obvious facts.
It is one of America's leading furproducing
regions, and the source of
staggering quantities of shrimps and
strawberries, oysters and oranges,
sugar and salt, terrapins and fiery
tabasco, rice and red snappers, figs
and frog's legs, waterfowl and muskrats,
timber and turpentine, cucumbers
and cattle, sulphur and Spanish
moss. Oil and gas flow from Its
seemingly inexhaustible subterranean
chambers.
It boasts the- second largest port
In the United States—New Orleansthrough
which pass vast cargoes of
foreign commodities, Including 23,000,-
000 bunches of bananas each year, coffee
for every third cup consumed In
the United States, and mahogany and
sisal, to our markets; while all the
varied products of farm and factory
originating In the lower Mississippi
valley begin their sea Journey from
the city's docks.
Romance of New Orleans.
Many writers agree that New Orleans
is one of only three great
"story cities" of America. And New
Orleans is part and parcel of Louisiana.
One needs only to go beck to
the adventurous times of those daring
French pioneers, La Salle, Bienville
and Iberville; to the days of
those picturesque and honored pirates,
the Lafltte Brothers and Dominique
You; to quadroon balls, voodoo
rites, suicide and dueling oaks,
or even to the fantastic revels of this
year's Mardl Gras, to find romance
here.
Today In Louisiana the visitor encounters
romance as readily In any
one of the half score lfi-to-20-story
office buildings of New Orleans as he
did formerly In the city's "haunted
houses," absinthe bars, or charming
patios rich in association with the
names of Lafayette, Louis Philippe,
Adeline Pattl, Jenny Llnd, Audubon,
Paul Murphy and Lafcadio Ileum.
For decades Louisiana's great sugar
mills, set down in the midst of
billows of green cane extending to the
horizon, had unfailingly ground out
wealth to the state's sugar barons.
Three hundred thousand tons of sugar
was not an.unusual year's yield
from the fecund black solL But the
major romance of Louisiana is to be
found not in its cane fields. The progenitor
of those fields, and of the
entire state, is the Father of Waters.
With its long, tenuous fingers of
silt thrust far out Into the Gulf of
Mexico, the "bird's-foot" delta of the
Mississippi Is unlike that of any other
major river on the globe. Between
its fingers or claws are shallow, open
bays, and the banks confining the
great streams Into which the river
divides at Head of Passes, 05 miles
below New Orleans, are in some
places only a few feet In width.
In colonial times, when 10 or 12
feet of water provided ample depth
for all caravels of commerce, navigation
of the main passes of the Mississippi
presented no difficulties, but
with the increase in the tonnage and
draft of vessels the shallow finger
channels were a bar to progress and
prosperity.
Making the Delta Navigable.
Ninety years ego the federal government
made the first appropriation
for deepening these natural channels,
and in the course of the next 40
years it succeeded, by means of crude
dredging processes, in increasing the
depth to from 12 to 20 feet But
when it is recalled that in time of
flood the Mississippi brings down for
deposit at its mouth more than 2,-
000,000 tons of sand a day, one can
realize that this was a costly and
disheartening battle.
By 1870 vessels had so increased
in sire and draft that a deeper channel
became a crying necessity. A
board of eminent engineers, appointed
to find a solution of the problem,
made exhaustive studies of many important
harbor entrances. Including
the mouths of the Danube, which had
been successfully improved by means
of contracting jetties similar to those
now in use on the Mississippi river.
The board finally reported that the
use of jetties would be too costly
for the Improvement of the mouths
of the Mississippi and recommended
the construction of a ship canal from
Fort St Philip (opposite Fort Jackson)
to the Gulf.
At this juncture there appeared before
congress an engineering genius
who persuaded that body to defer
for the time being the digging of the
ship canal and permit him, on a basis
of "no cure, no pay," to attempt
to provide and maintain a deep-water
channel In his own way.
But when congress finally accepted
this "can't loose" proposition of
James B. Eads, who had just completed
the world-famous steel-arch
bridge over the Mississippi at St
Louis, the engineer was not permitted
to use the Southwest Pass for
his experiment as he had specified.
This was the best of the three main
passes, and the government was taking
no chances with Mr. Eads and
his chimerical proposition! If he
wanted to lose his own money, he
could sink It in South Pass without
endangering the then best channel.
The Eads contract called not only
for a channel 26 feet deep and 200
feet wide at the bottom, but for maintaining
that depth for 20 years.
With tremendous energy and rare
organizing ability, the engineer set
to work, and in less than five years
his Jetties and his dredges had done
the work. And, furthermore, he maintained
the depth for 20 years, that
period expiring in 1001. The main
responsibility of the engineers today,
so far as the mouths of the Mississippi
are concerned, is to prevent the
river from creating new passes.
Furs From the Marshlands.
It is not only the Mississippi which
makes Louisiana "water-minded."
The state is threaded and meshed
with bayous, bikes and streams, giving
it more than 4,700 miles of navigable
waters—a total which exceeds
by two for one Its nearest competitor
in the* Union, Arkansas.
Naturally, much of the bordering
land in the vast delta region is marsh
area; but let no casual observer be
deceived into imagining that "marsh"
In Louisiana means waste or unproductive
land. It Is these tens of
thousands of grass-covered acres
which have given the state the unique
distinction of being the largest furproducing
commonwealth in the
Union. As a matter of fact not only
does Louisiana lead all other states
both in the value of its fur crop and
in the number of pelts marketed, but
last year, and for several years past
it has produced more pelts than the
entire Dominion of Canada, generally
recognized as one of the world's most
Important fur-producing countries.
The muskrat is the fur citizen mainstay
of the state's pelt wealth. Mora
than 5,000,000 of him were taken during
the open season from November
20 to February 5. 1028-29. What with
muskrats, opossums, raccoons, minks,
skunks, otters, wild cats and foxes,
the trappers* sales last year aggregated
$8.500.000—exceeding by a
third the total value of Alaska's, production
of gold and silver for the
same period.
The Evangeline Country.
Journeying by a series of autobus
stages from New Orleans to Lake
Charles, In the southwest corner of
the state, one passes through a section
of Louisiana which Is redolent
of romance. Here lies the Evangeline
country, with its many pleasing, if
seldom substantiated, stories identifying
particular spots with various
episodes in the Longfellow epic. St
MartlnvlUe, one of the oldest towns
in Louisiana, is the center of the
Evangeline cult, with its Evangeline
oak and its grave of the woman from
whom the poet is supposed to have
drawn his picture of the Acadian
heroine.
At New Iberia are Louisiana's
famous suit mines. On an open-plutform
elevator one descends for 540
feet In Stygian durkness to the present
floor of this salt mine. Its vast
galleries are sixty feet in height, half
again as wide in some places, and
their winding length exceeds two
miles. With electric drills, miners
bore into the suit rock, set off their
charges of dynamite, and blow out
great blocks of pure crystal suit,
which is scooped up in mechanical
shovels and loaded on cars slmilur to
those used in coal mines.
With a production of some 19,000.-
000 bushels of rice a year, Louisiana
not only produces more of the cereal
than any other state in the Union,
but it has one-half of the entire
United States rice acreage
