To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The average depth of the cut across this dividing ridge (400 yards wide) would be 183 feet deep, all in soft materials, the deepest cut would be 208 feet. Of course the whole twenty-nine miles would be much less. We have estimated the average depth to be sixty-seven feet, all in soft material so soft and yielding, in fact that it would melt down like a recent sand bar before a hy- draulic jet. It would be merely child's play for the machinery now at work on the Panama Canal. We do not wish it i...nferred, how- ever, that to carry out this diversion scheme would be child's play. P is a big undertaking, but easily within the bounds of possibility for the United States government. It is from its very nature and of necessity a national undertaking. The control and improvement of internal waterways affecting directly the interests of several states is a national problem. This diversion channel would begin just within the state of Tennessee, continue into Mississippi, and the di- verted waters would flow through Alabama.
