 The imminent peril Of property that is of high value to individual owners and of more than high value to the city of Pine Bluff for the sym Ametry of her river front, will natur- ally call forth expressions of opinion ill regard to the course to be pursued upon the fall of the waters of the Ar kansas river. What should be done while the pressure Of waters lasts should be referred to expert engi- neers. though even i'll such q casa, common sense is. frequently ahead of science. On one occasion asked d member of General John II. Morgan , command how it happened that they always got across a river or overcome some other naturally insurmountable obstacle, and the reply was that when a thousand men came to a river. some. one of the thousand was sure to sug- gest successful way of crossing. Those who are mot engineers may have good ideas in regard to conquer ing the Arkansas river.
 There is no question to my mind that no steps should be taken to di- vert the present course of the Arkan- sas river by opening a canal through tho cutoff. The point of land on the opposite side of the river to the northwest is gradually wearing away and as it goes the force of the current will pass down the river. If the re- sistance of fascines which the engi- neers are now employing to break the force of the encroaching waters is kept up another twenty-four hours the caving west of Berlin's stables will not be great and that below the < old stable will gradually cease with : the decline of the water and the re- < sisting power of the fascines.
 S The very best solution of the stand ing river problem seems to be in sight When the point of land opposite the scity is worn away another hundred 
 ylrds the natural current of the river will round the point and flow by the city front without injury to property, if an embankment is made. This seems to be what should have been done when the levee on the north side was being built. If thirt yfoot pill ing had been placed along the river braced and strengthened by oak plank for one or two hundred yards, the force of the present mighty current would have never affected the land north of the Jefferson hotel and the court house. The building of the levee gave the river an additional power of attack, when the bank of the river was scarcely able to repel an ordinary pressure.
 But Pine Bluff needs the Arkansas river badly It is only a matter of a few years when the commerce of OUT rivers will enter largely into all commercial enterprises. The river should, therefore. be kept and the only way to keep it is by an embank- ment which will reclaim some of the lost space and afford security as to the future. Such work is certain to cost in the thousands and perhaps
