On page 16. line 15. before the word "thousand." I move to strike out " eighty " and insert in lieu thereof the word "ninety." so as to make the appropriation $90.000. At the mouth of the Calcasieu River. in Louisiana. there are two bars. one where .the stream empties into the Gulf of Mexico. and the other above that. where the upper stream empties into what is called Lake Calcasieu. Further up -the Calcasieu River is the town of Lake Charles. in Southwestern Louisiana. and is that section of the State where a large number of immigrants from the Northwestern States have recently settled. There are a number of sawmills on the lake at the town of Lake Charles. This project for the deepening of this bar at the mouth of the Calcasieu River has been going on for some years.
