Making the Zuder Zee an Inland

The backbone of this tremendous en-
gineering project is the great sea-dlke,
which is to perform the all-imporlanI
function of shutting out the NOT III
Sea-keeping the ancient enemy at
safe distance. This once accomplish
ed, all that remains is simple. ProDa-
bly, the Dutch are the only hydraullc
engineers in the world who could Cam
ly propose to wall off a stormy, angry
sea, swept by great tides and lolly
tidal waves, from an inner BODY ol
water measuring twenty-five HllIos
across The Dutch not only propose
it, but they know just how they are
going to do it; they have counted every
cubic foot of timber, every pound u
stone, every willow twig, every day
labor that Will be required. They
know what they are about. They even
have estimated exactly how long the
work will take.
This, the greatest of all sea en- en-
bankments in the wide world, lh m
modern and beautiful Chinese wall
will extend from the mainland OF NORM
Holland short distance across
shallow strait to the island of Wierin-
gen, thence across the Zuyder Zee "
the coast of Friesland. The tOta5
length of this "afsluit dix" IS 14'o
miles. Massive it must be, firm as
rock, to withstand the attacks on
the storms which will beat agaiiiss
it from the North Sea, to resist lne
pressure of the ice which in WlhteL
will drive with terrific force upon 10
ramparts. Despite the fact that theS
are here no rock foundations anu
that the whole structure must
planted upon the sandy bottom . lne
Dutch have no fear. All their nv
they have been struggling with JUS
such unpromising materials. Nothlns3
but walls of sand now protect mos
of Holland from the inroads OF tne
ocean. sand makes a good bulwark,

know how to use it. and there is no
trick in this trade that the Dutch en-
gineers had not mastered genera

Husband and Wife Meet in the
State of Washington.

According tOa newspaperof Spokane,
Washington, dated December 4, 1909,
Denny Sheehan, officer of the Spokane
police force and his wife and daughter.
from whom he has been separated for
the past Is years, We're united yesterday
morning al the Pedicord Hotel, and
probably nobody in the city was more
surprised and delighted than Denny.
For the past II years Denny has been
a member of the police force. For
almost the same length of time he has
resided ct the Pedicord hotel and nobody
around there ever suspected him of being
anything but a single man. 1t was,
consequently, somewhat of a surprise
to the people at the hotel yesterday
morning when a well dressed woman
of middle age entered the office accom-
panied by a girl of about ID summers,
registered as Mrs. aud Miss Sheehan,
of Wildwood, \. j., aud asked for
Denny. Almost III the same breath she
stated that she was Denny's wife, and
hat the Young lady was his daughter.
Denny was sent for and a happy
family reunion scene took place in the
parlors of the Pedicord, with no other
witnesses than the three parties con-
cerned and the pictures on the wall.
What transpired was not made known,
but the genial Denny WA seen leaving
the hotel in company with his wife and
daughter. Mis-. Sheehan and her
daughter had not returned to the Pedi-
cord at a late hour last night and Denny
was reported to be out on his beat in
Brownies addition. Whether he plans
to commence housekeeping at once is
not announced. Denny is reported to
have been away from the east for the
past Is years and to have spent a couple
of years in California before coming to
Spokane. His close friends on the
force have always known that he was
married.

The "Sand Blower" at Work.

Active operations have begun on Rio
Grande avenue with the "sand blower"
which arrived here last week from At
lantic City under the direction of John
w. Young & Son, of Anglesea, who
have the contract to grade this avenue.
1t is anchored neal the first draw of the
county bridge and since Monday has
been steadily pumping a stream of sand
and water from the sounds into Rio
Grande avenue which at the rate it
is filing up will probably be COM
pleted within three or four weeks time.
An embankment of sod has been raised
on both sides of the street to prevent
the overflow of the sand. Not only
sand but crabs and CLAIMS in numbers
pour out of the immense pipe and
goodly numbers of these are picked up.
While the pumping is going on the
bridge and avenue will be closed to
travel. 1t is expected that this machine
will be used to fill in various lots on the
island when its present work is COM
pleted. This is one of the greatest i'm
provements that Holly Beach has eve
had and may lead up to even far greater
Improvements.

ers, are wont to patronize most Literally
the business houses which invite public
attention by continuous and liberal ad
vertising. The mar who doesn't adver-
tise these days must be content to see
trade pass by him and crowd the store
of a rival who knows the value OF
newspaper space and employs it as the
