 ROB ROY BRIDGE
Cotton Belt Lets Contract for Re. building Bridge and Remedying Channel Trouble.

The Cotton Belt railway yesterday let the contract for remodeling it's bridge over the Arkansas river at Rob Roy, and in letting this contract the railroad company has no doubt solved the difficulty which has been occu- pying the minds of steamboat men for esveral months-the elimination of the Rob Roy shoal, at which point the railway crosses the river.
 The contract was let to the Mis- souri Valley Bridge and Iron Cont pany to entirely rebuild the present structure at Rob Roy. One of the distinctive features of the new struc- ture will be the building of at least one new pier and either the widening of the channel at that point or the re- moval of the draw span over the pres ent channel, in order that steamers may pass without trouble
 In rebuilding the bridge it is said that the present difficulty caused by the shifting of the channel will be overcome in the installation of a draw span at each end. thus providing against any possible emergency in tie shifting of the channel
