WILL TRY HIS GABION
 ON ARKANSAS RIVER
Charles Kerr, a Jackson, Miss, In. ventor, Says He Can Stop Caving of the River Bank at This Point and Change the Course of the River if Necessary.

Charles Kerr, of Jackson, Miss, patentee of what he calls the "Gabion' arrived in Pine Bluff Friday after noon and declares that he can stop the caving that is destroying thou sands of dollars worth of property here along the river front. Written statements from persons at Jackson, where his patent had been tried, are to the effect that Kerr can remedy the trouble here if given the chance. The "Gabion" is a steel constructed
 trap shaped something like a big harrow, and catches all the drift and sand that may be going down stream. He will anchor the long "Gabion" to heavy railroad iron, which are sunk at the edge of the river bank. Mr. Kerr says he has been very success full in stopping washes in streams throughout the South and he Is con- fldent of success in defying the strong current of the Arkansas river. The inventor of the steel dyke says he can even change the course of the river if necessary

CAPT. LUKESH MADE
 AN AWFUL EDIBLE
Engineer is Being Se- vere1y Criticised For His Mislead- ing Message to Secretary of War Wright-Judge Gould Goes to Washington.

Because Captain G. w. Lukesh, gov
 ernment engineer temporarily ill charge of this district, telegraphed
 the War Department Thursday that the cave-in situation here was much
 improved, he is being severely criti- cized by Pine Bluffians, who declare that Captain Lukesh, who is now in the city inspecting the river front, 3is ignorant of local conditions as they
 really exist The river situation here l is critical today and shows no in1- fprovement whatever. County Judge
 James Gould left this afternoon for
 Washington, D. C., where he will per- lsonally present the matter to Secre- itary of War Luke B. Wright. Secre- tary J. l.. Caldwell, of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, will go to that city iSunday. It is believed that the re-
 port of Captain Lukesh was respon-
 ible for Secretary Wrights refusal Ito permit the "cut off here, and was ] what prompted the War Department head to telegraph United States Sen ktor James P. Clark to that effect'

OUR NEW MINISTER
 WAS FORMER SCRIBE
Rev. M. W. Man,ilie, Who Succeeds Rev. R. X. McClintOck Here Was at One Time a Newspaper Man On The Gazette.

Of the Rev. M w Manville, who Will come to this city shortly to suc- ceed Rev. K. A. McClintock as pastor of the Carr Memorial church, J. l.. Wadley, editor of the Hot Springs News has the following to say
 Hot Springs. Ark, Dec. 2. 1908. Editor Graphic, Pine Bluff:
 Dear Sir-I am enclosing clipping from the News of December 7, con- corning Rev. M. w. ManvilIe, who goes. to your city for the coming year. If you can see your way clear to re- produce this, or something like it IS an introduction to your people, l am sure he will appreciate it, as I will also. MT. Manville was a newspaper man before entering the ministry, having been on the Gazette during the administration of Horace Allis. The fact of having been a newspaper man first, may account for his sound com mon sense as a preacher. He is no sensationalist, nor does he 1neddle in public affairs that do not directly concern his work. I am sure you will find him a good citizen as we'll as |, minister of pure life, and should you need helping hand in the editorial room some time when you go fishing, drop him a hint, and you'll find his hand has not lost it's cunning"
 Very truly,
 r. AodIav
