t'ssary as preliminary safeguard The national government would not likely build such wall for Pine Bluff any more than for Galveston after the ocean flood. But it is likely that an appropriation for dykes and 'revetment would be more easily se- cured if it were known to Congress that local people were preparing to do their part.
 The city, county and state are all interested in this matter and each one is able to do something Perhaps if the city attorney and the legal advis- or of the county judge (the prosecut- ing attorney of this Judicial district,, would confer, they could discover a legal way for city and county to en- ter into this work and when they had reached a conclusion confer

Editor of Graphic:

tIdltOr Ot Graphic :--
 The time is at hand when the cit
 izens of Pine Bluff should determine
 and make public in exact terms their
 needs on account of the present ex-
 traordinary disaster from the waters
 they want from the national govern
 ment and other sources of help. Sen
 ator Clarke in his blunt way spoke
 the truth when he said that he must : know. what the people here really < want the government to do. The sec
 retary of our Board of Trade, Dr.
 Caldwell, echoed the same sentiment at the last meeting of the Board and is is probable that all our represen- < tatives in Washington city would be
 grateful for exact statements along
 the above lines, if they can possibly
 be made.
 5 The toward and untoward work of
 the Arkansas river is now daily mak- ing more easy the task of forecasting the local needs. When this prelimi- nary is satisfactorily established, it 8 will be able to do legally and to state, county, city and private property @owners what may fall to them. The needs of the situation appear < to be two-fold, revetment and dykes, < and permanent embankment. The 8national government may be induced 8to build revetments and dykes, but Athat may be the extent of their labor under the general laws governing work on navigable rivers. It is very well known now that revetments and dykes will not satisfactorily remedy Sthe evil. For twenty-five years or more, such work has been done and anow the greatest disaster of a cen- stury has happened.
 A permanent embankment of wood, concrete or stone thousand feet along the river front is absolutely necessary in order to supplement the work of the revetments and dykes and to afford good security to the river front. The longer this latter work Is delayed, the more of it there will have to be done.
 There is no novelty ;n this idea. The great city of London was troll bled by the waters of turbulent river and spent twenty-five million
 or more dollars in building the Thames embanbment, one of the grandest objects of interest to tour ists. Along the shores of the Atlantic Os,ean and its many estuaries of our eastern states, hundreds of cities have protected their water fronts by em- bankments.
 The great cast of concrete or stone will probably eliminate them from consideration as material, but oak piling braced and boarded by many oak plank is within ordinary capac- ity and might in either case be nec-
