HURRAH
For Hon. A. S. Berry, the 6th
District Congressman

About one hundred thousand
people, living in the Sandy Valley,
are feeling very kindly towards
Congressman Al. Berry just now
on account Of the interest he has
thus far shown in the effort to Sc
cure appropriations for continuing
the slack-water project on the
Big Sandy river.
Our people appreciate the fact
that Col Berry is not obligated by
his position to thus assist u, being
the Representative from a district
not touching our valley; and we
feel all the more grateful to him
because Of this.
The following is from the Wash
ington correspondent of the Gin
clnnati Enquirer Of last Tuesday ]:
Congressman Berry said tonight
that there was one big piece OF
work in Kentucky in which he was
Interested, and which he expected
to have incorporated in the river
aud harbor bill. II relates 10 the
Improvement OF the Big Sandy.
Mr.. Berry is a member OF the itiy-
or and HarbOr Committee, and
ought to be able TO pull the Big
Sandy improvement through. He
Is fortified with datta"l statistics
from the War Dep ,nent, and be-
lieves lac will hav5 little trouble in
convincing his associates Of the ne
cessity for the work. He wants
/ two new dams to connect with thu
present work at Louisa. This viii
require an expenditure OF $500, OO0
aud ifMr. Berry plans 60 through
all right it will be put under th'
contract system.
Almost daily we notice some
thing in the daily papers about Mr.
Berry's work for Big Sandy,
! Our own Congressman, Mcssfs
Fitzpatrick and Pugh, are ais
showing a lively interest IN thi
matter and will doubtless do every
thing In their power. Mr.. Fitz
patrick is arranging to have sam
pies OF coal and mineral from tn
Sandy Valley taken to Washing
ton.

DAM AT LOUISA.
Fine Piece of Government
Work Highest Lift In
the World.

Major w. II. Blxby, Of the Corps
Of the United States Engineers, in
speaking Of his recent visit to Big
Sandy River, and the new Gov
eminent dam at Louisa, KY, said
81 saw the dam, which Is In splen-
did condition. There is 20 little
leakage in II that one can walk on
the masonry on the downstream
side Of the dam without getting wet.
The entire leakage OF the naviga-
tlon pass OF the dam-l30 feet In
length, with a head OF II feet-was
only 6 cubic feet second, and leak
age OF the weir, or overflow part
40 feet In length, with head OF
nearly 7 feet--was only one gal
Ion in 3S seconds. The dam was
only completed this year, but there
is no doubt that II is a perfect sue
cess" The fact that movable
N can be made 50 tight that II
leaks less than two gallons min
ute Il remarkable, II not wonder
full. The work was done under the
supervision OF Mr.. Is. f. Thomas,
Assistant Engineer, and reflects
great credit upon that officer. The
dam at Louisa is the only one ofthe
kind In the United States, and Is a
great improvement on any OF the
type in Europe, as its lift is much
greater than any OF the European
dams. The normal height OF the
pool is IL feet above that OF the
pass sill.
