TUv Great .lied. Hirer Raft.
"v i I H I
Everybody ee beard i ef the great Red
River Raft and that It la a vast nail of
dtilt-wood, oomplelaly obstructing naviga
tion at tba point where it covers :the water
with its countless trunks of forest trees.
The river passea under tblt mast it If it
were a bridge. In 1833, when the raft wat
one hundred and tweoty-four miles long,
tbe general government began tbe work of
removing It; but after working at it for
twenty. two year, abandoned tha attempt
at impraeticable, tod confined ite efforts to
the opening up some of the lateral channels
or bayous. Tbe most omioua character is
tio of this great raft, is that it moves up the
river against the current, instead ef down.
This movement is very slow, being but a
mile or two in a year. Tbe explanation ef
this retrogade progression of iu apparently
stationery mass ; simple euougb. Tbe
logs, at tbe lower end of the raft, are con
tinually brokeo away and carried off by tbe
currents, while fresh drift-wood la brought
down, sad added to tbe upper end by fresh
ets aud floods. Thus, tba raft, always fall
ing away at one end, and growing at tbe
ether gradually moves up tbe river, and it
It calculated that it has moved since lis first
forming about lour hundred miles. Scien
tific writers have suggested the Idea that
tnia vaat mass of timber, alter Irioi in tbe
Id bed of the river lor quite a naoaber of
ages, will become a great coal bed.
