"Government engineer have found that the amount of solid BMttar annually carried past Vlckaburg ia aaa. pension Is enough to make a block of earth 300 feet high and a mile square. Fifty feet off the top of this ia spread around on the valley between here and tbo Ben, and tho rest goes out Into the gulf of Mexico to build up more conti nent. "Think what that means. Instead of a river of wuter this Is a river of land. It would make a solid stream of earth flvo feet deep and nluo feet wide, flow ing night and duy as fast as a man caa walk, four miles an hour, all sliding lown off the northern half of the coun try toward the sea. Year In, year out, that endless line of earth goes on. It would take force of more than 60,000 men working in eight hour shifts to throw tho dirt Into the stream, suppos ing the river bed wero rigid and aa la exhaustible supply of dirt on the bank, It would make 20,000,000 wagon loads every year. .
