on this island from any possible overflow.
 The second division of the work is what is known as Cofferdam No. 2, section of the north channel of the river, which men are working night and day pouring the concrete foundations for that section of the dam.
 The third grand division is the power house coffer where giant cranes and large forces of men are building the foundations of what will be one of the greatest power houses ever built by man. Just now the forms for the tunnels which will carry the water to the turbines are being put into place and tremendous blocks of concrete are being poured.
 Sand from Rivers Bottom.
 Officials say that the various ma terials which enter into the mixing of concrete are being brought up to the mixers in adequate quantities and without any unnecessary delays. The sand and gravel for the concrete is dredged from the bottom of the Tennessee river at Buck Island, seven miles below Florence, and is brought to the docks at Florence on barges. At the docks the barges are unloaded by electric cranes and the material is carried to Wilson Dam on a government railroad, which was built for the purpose.
 Cement is being bought from a number of different mills and the de- livery Is said to be entirely safTs- factory.
 Tri-Cftfex Prosper.
 Business conditions in the Tri- Cities are excellent. Practically every manufacturing plant in the district Is operating at full time and taken in conjunction with the pay roll at Wilson Dam and the very ex- cellent cotton crop of this county in 1922 there is every reason for the belief that 1923 will set some new records for business in this county and section.
 Just now there is no surplus of labor here and few men are being taken on at several of the industrial operations in the district other than Wilson Dam. At Wilson Dam the force is being gradually increased and by the time spring comes 1t is thought that at least 5000 men will be at work.
 The community of Muscle Shoals Is 100 per cent strong for the proposal of Henry Ford and people of this section are hoping, in spite of their better judgment that there will be action on the Ford proposal at this session of Congress.

MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 20.-(Special) The grand jury of the Mobile county circuit court that adjourned Satur- day afternoon, returning a total of 97 true bills, rigidly criticised the ac- tion of persons, who, working under the federal officers, entered homes of citizens without search warrants, after midnight, and that their ac- tions were disgracefu1.
 That part of the report of the grand jury dealing in the raiding of homes is as follows: "On inVestiga tion, evidence was presented to the grand jury showing that the private homes of respectable and law -abid- ing citizens of our county have been subjected to raids and forcibly en- tered. without search warrants, or other warrants of law. Some of the men making these raids claimed to have been federal officers.
 "Our investigation has shown that the homes of unprotected married women have been forcibly entered by these raiding squads after midnight, without search warrant, and with ap- parently no excuse or evidence that would tend to show that there was any violation of the law. We re- spectfully recommend that the off tcals, whose men are guilty of these disgraceful outrages, would use more care and discretion in the selection of these men who, are entrusted with the enforcement of the federal laws"
