cURBING RIVER AT PINE BLUFF.
Revetment Work Just Completed
 Will Withstand Any Current.

Pine Bluff-The work of building revetments along the river front at this place, to protect the business and residence sections adjacent to the Ar kansas river from further caving, has been completed from Beech to State street and James Trainor. who had the government contract for the work, has been ordered to Fort Smith to make similar improvements there to prevent the loss of the west approach to the big bridge which spans the Ar kansas at that point MT. Trainor will begin work there immediately, having been ordered to commence worg upon his arrival by Charles H. Miller, engineer of river protection, with headquarters at Little Rock.
 Mr. Trainor states that property owners along the river front need have no fear of further caving of the river bank for distance of five blocks at least, between State and Beech streets. The work just com pleted here included the building and sinking of mammoth mattresses along the river bank. The mattresses were constructed of brush and rock. One of them was 400 feet long by 52 feet wide; another was 475 feet by 80 feet, and third was 400 feet long by 100 feet in width. On every mat" rock was interwoven with brush and MT. Trainor estimates that there is one yard of stone to every cord of brush used in its construction More than $12,509 was expended in making the improvements.
