SECRETARY OF WAR
Makes Answer to the Commercial
 League Relative to Dykes.

Recently the Commercial League adopted series of resolutions rela- tive to our river front, which reso- lutions were published in full in the Graphic at the time and subsequent- ly forwarded to the Secretary of War.
 A few days ago the Commercial League received an answer from Secretary Root as follows:
 War Department, Washington, Nov. ?, 1899-M MT. E. D. Russell, Secretary of the Commercial League Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
 "Sif: l have the honor to acknowl. edge tie receipt of your letter of llth ultimo, transmitting copy of resolution of the Commercial League of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, relative to the river front at that city, and re- questing an allotment of ten thou. sand dollars for it's protection.
 Replying thereto beg to inform you that Captain McGregor, the 10 cal engineer officer to whom the matter was referred, reports as fol- lows:
 Repairs to these works were in- cluded h the project for the ex- penditure of the appropriation by act of March 3, 1899, approved by Chief of Engineers April 4, 1899.
 Attention is invited to the lncios- ed sketch of the river front at Pine Bluff, showing condition of these works on October 23, 1899. At Dike No. l, in the vicinity of Brump's Bayou, the shore has re- turned to it's original position. fol- lowing the high bank, and has de stroyed the long dike erected iu 1894 to take the channel out of this bend. There has been no injury to the works along the town front, and noLe is threatened by the change at this point. With this exception the works are all intact, and with a few minor repairs to the revetment will be as good as eyer. It is pro- posed, under the above authority, to repair the breaks In the revet- ment at Dikes Nos. 2, and 6, as soon as the force can bespared from more urgent work.
 Very Respectfully,
 ELIHU ROOT.
 Secretary of War.
