The following correspondence has passed between Maj Graham D. Fitch of the U. s. engineering corps and Dr. J. l.. Caldwell, secretary of the Pine Bluff board of trade, relative to the advantages Pine Bluff would re- ceive from the improvement of the Arkansas river:
 Engineers Office U. s. Army, Little
 Rock, Ark.
 Secretary Commercial League Pine
 Bluff, Arkansas.
 Sir: The chief of engineers has di rected that I incorporate in my next annual report a statement showing the effect that projects for river inn provement have on freight rates.
 should be obliged to you if you would furnish me with the statement (for publication) showing the benefits that accrue to the town of Pine Bluff through the carrying out of the pro- iect for the improvement of the Ar. kansas river I should like to have this information by June 15, 1906. Re- spectfully, Graham D. Fitch,
 Major, Corps of Engineers.
 Pine Bluff, Ark, May 8, 1906. Mai. Graham D. Fitch, Little Rock,
 Ark.
 Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the third:
 The benefit to the town of Pine Bluff through the carrying out of the project for the improvement of the Arkansas river, is only general It reminds the railroads that there is an available river here.
 If the government could be induced to put in dredge boat, to clear prac- tically small shoal places, numbering three. once year, we would always have open navigation. and that would {, so revive river traffic that our city would enjoy the benefits to which she is entitled by virtue of her position at the head of navigation for large i boats on the Arkansas river. Haven't you .dredge boat you could send this way after the spring rise?
 The dykes have saved our lives tut the dredge boat is needed as a fattener. And we are entitled to it : Very truly yours, 1 !. L. Caldwell, Secretary
