ARkANSANS ASK
 PROMPT ACTION
1 'ongrc>>men Request Var Depart nent to Protect River Bank at Convict Farm-Ask
 For Funds

WaShln9ton August 1.-The Arkan- sas delegation in Congress has re quested the War Department to take prompt action to protect the banks of the Arkansas river near Cummins, The action was taken at the solication of Congressman Robinson, who has been seeking to get the government to use the emergency fund. fleet and engineers at that point. 1t is believed the department will heed the request.
 The communication of the delega- tion follows:
 The undersigned members of Con gress from the state of Arkansas re- spectfuliy join in the request of Con gressman Robinson that immediate ac- tlon be taken to protect the bank of the Arkansas river at and near Cum mins, Ark; and state that unless the same be done, the public landing at that place will in all probability be speedily destroyed, as also leyees re : gently constructed by local levea boards and the state Penitentiary Board to the value between S250. 900 and $300:4t0 as also valuable build lnSs and other property of great value.
 The caVing of said bank greatly lmperils navigation, so that it will de- stroy said wharf and landings, and threatens to divert the channel of the Arkansas river in to Cypress Greek, thereby oyerfloWing a large area of lands, approXmately 500,00O acres. the greater portion of which is under cul- tivation and in which territory are now situated numerous towns It may also endanger the levees main tained for the protection of the Tensas Levee Basin. Urgent and speedy ac- tion is necessary, and we are informer and believe, that the other protective 1 works, which can be speedily con structed, will safely guard again3t these threatened dangers
