The Olalla Dam.

Contractor j. w. Parrish and crew
are making rapid headway on the Olala
dyke dam near the mouth OF Olalla
slough. The dam is 30 feet wide and
205 feet long and will contain about
10000 feet of lumber. In building, two
rows Of piling were driven across the
slough, these were planked and the
space between is now being filled in
with dirt. A sluice-way 16 feet wide
with two lock gates will allow the water
above the dam to pass out at low tide
and prevents it returning during food
tide. Mr.. Parrish expects to have the
work completed within three weeks.
The completion OF this dam will place
hundreds of acres of tideland under cul-
tivation. This land when broken and
planted to crops will Weld thousands of
dollars to the owners, while now a con.
siderable portion of it is practically
waste land.
This dam is somewhat of an expert
ment and if found to be success, dams
will undoubtedly be built across the
mouths or several other slougns along
the bay.

MAY SEND GLENN
TO THE SENATE
Developments Show Growth of
Prohibition Sentiment.

RALEIGH, N. c., August 10
Recent developments indicate thai
when the next session of the State
legislature shall have completed its
work there will be a new and rigid
law on the statute books absolutely
prohibiting both the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors within the
State of North Carolina, according to
the predictions of certain well-inform-
ed persons.
1t is this question of State prohibi-
ton that is probably going to land
Gov Glenn in the Senate at Washin-
ton as the successor of the present
Senator Overman eighteen months
hence. Gov. Glenn has, within the
last two years, become by selection
on his own part the chief of the State
prohibition apostles in North Caro-
lima. Last fall he went further than
the president of the State Anti-Saloon
League would go, and at the Presby-
terrain church at Raleigh delivered an
address, in which he declared for
State prohibition.
The president of the State Anti
Saloon League, Josiah William Bail
ey, is still opposed to legislating pro-
hibition for a community when the
majority of the people of such COM
munity, be it State or county or
town, are opposed to prohibition.
Gov. Glenn has surpassed the anti
saloon chief in his zeal to accom-
plish absolute prohibition laws for the
whole state.

WOULD AID THE
ENLISTED MEN
Dick to Introduce Bill Giving
Them More Pay.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-Sena-
tor Charles Dick, of Ohio, has deter
mined to urge at the next session of
Congress a bill for increased pay for
the enlisted men of the United States
army and navy.
During the past week Senator Dick
has been in consultation with officers
of the army and navy relative to his
plan for increased pay in both of
the branches of the service. By sta
tute the pay in the naval branch of
the service is based largely upon the
pay and allowance fixed for The army
Already he has demonstrated his
interest IN the cause by pushing a
bill which is now pending for the
Improvement of the personnel of the
navy. After consultation with off
GERS in both branches of the SER
vice, Senator Dick, will support a
joint bill and urge its passage when
Congress conyenes.
Senator Dick has been a close stu
dent of army conditions for several
years, and is in sympathy with the
movement to give the enlisted men
more pay. He adheres to the belief
that this will be necessary if the
army is kept at its present stand
ard.
AS an example of the hardship
encountered in getting recruits at the
present rate of pay, Senator Dick de-
clares that he recently saw COM
pany of infantry on march and only
six enlisted men included. He says
he does not believe either Cong ress or
the people will continue to sanction
laws which make such condition
possible. He has therefore expressed
himself in hearty support of the in
creased pay project, and says he will
do all he can to see the laws modi-
fed.
