TO IMPROVE ARKANsAs RIVERS.
Estimates Have been Made by Gen.
 Mckenzie. Chief of Enqineers.

The report of Gen Mckenzie. chief of engineers of the United States, has been made public at Washington. The report states that it was found that there was on July 1, 1904, a balance of SG9. Ill 50 available for the improve ment of the Arkansas river in Arkan- sas It is estimated that this balance, together with s35, ,000, can be proftably expended on this river in the fiscal year ending June 90. 1906. The entire project for the improvement of this river is the following: The improve ment of the river from it's mouth to the head of navigation by snagging ops erations. by dredging operations and by contraction works, holding the im- proved channel by reyetment where necessary The total expenditure on the Arkansas river to last June was $2.3o915299
 The report says that aside from the protection to the town front of Pine Bluff and the preservation of channel through the drawspans of the railway bridges at Fort Smith, Van Buren and Little Rock. the operations for the per manent improvement of the stream have been of no material benefit to navigation. Smuggling operations give immediate relief, but the benefit is temporary.
 The expenditures this fiscal year were for the operation and mainte. nance of snag boats and for the com pletion of the repair of the Redfork revetment, the last mentioned work not having been completed the last fiscal year on account of high stage of river The snagging operations were of much benefit to navigation below Pine Bluff, and especially so between Redfork and the mouth of the river but. owing to the nature of the banks of the stream and to the high waters Of this fiscal year. the channel is again badly obstructed by snags and drift.
 The commerce of the Arkansas river for the fiscal year amounted to 92,041 tons. valued at s2,07SS93. The ton. mage ise greater than that of any year of the nine preceding 1904. but the value is smaller than in any of those years
