Brief History of the Devel
opment Work That Has
Covered a Period of Many
Years; Big Pond is 25
Miles Square
(By A. C. Hunycutt)
Albemarle, Jun,e 23 It Is complet
ed the big dam on the Yadkin River
which many have predicted since
1S03 was too stupendous to be han
dled successfully even by a great
weathly corporation of America and
on last Sunday night the Jonderous
gates went down with a crash. Thus
for the first time since the Yadkin
river plowed it way between the
mountains and rolled on its way to
the sea in remote ages past and gone
the ceaseless roars of the "Narrows
of the Yadkin" was hushed never
again to be heard, by man. The lake
which will cover ten to fifteen
square miles of territory is therefore
at this writing in the making, grad
ually growing deeper and deeper and
spreading out over great fertile val
leys for miles up the river, covering
up the site where once flourished the
town of Whitney with a population
of three thousand people, and com
pletely Inundating one of the finest
pieces of masonary every construct
ed In the South the old Whitney
dam.
What does this mean to Piedmont
North Carolina? It means that-Jhe
biggest single job of Its kind firery
attempted In the State, costing from
its beginning In 1903, not less than
$2.0.000,000.00 is now ready to con
tribute more than 125,000 horse pow
er to the already tremendous supply
of electric energy In this section. It
also means that the entire produc
tion o fthls 125,000 horse power will
be UBed by the Tallassee Power Co.
right at Radln In the big aluminum
factories which will add possibly 25
per cent to the entire output of alum
inum in America.
The big dam is built of reinforced
concrete and stands 175 feet above
the water surface below. It is about
one-quarter of a mile In length reach
ing from mountain top to mountain
top on each side of the Narrows. It
is said by many to he one of the fin
est plecee of construction work in the
United State, and so tremendoiin Is
its appearance, a veritable mountain
of concrete; that one Is reminded that
It has more the appearance "of be
ing the handiwork of the Supreme
Arhcltect of the Universe than thai
of human hands."
This great undertaking of har
nessing the Yadkin river was com
menced In 1903 and In February,
190B, active work was 1 commenced
with a force of about three thousand
laborers by the Whitney Co. The
work of the Whitney Co. took place
about six miles above the Narrows the
site of the completed dam. The great
granite dam at Whitney was nearlng
completion, when In 1 907. the finan
cial crisis caused the failure of the
Whitney Company. and althnuarh
about $6,000,000 had been spent on
the dam and digging the four mile
canal, work was discontinued. The
property was then for several years
tied up by a multiplicity of law suits
6n the part of the creditors of the
Whitney Co. and nothing further was
done until 1912. It was during the
year of 1912 that the Southern Alum
inum Co. purchased the property of
the Whitney Co. and again resumed
operations. The Southern Aluminum
Co. was owned by French capitalists
and after a thorough survey by the
engineers of this company It was de
cided to abandon entirely the old si e
t Whitney and build the dam across

COUNCIL WILL
ORGANIZE TODAY,
Free Play of Trade Not be
Arbitrarily Interfered
With, But Effort be Made
to Conduct Trade on a
Systematic Basis
(By The Associate rress.)
Washington, June 26. Control of
American exports, authorised In
clause of the espionage bill, was as
sumed today by President Wilson with
the appointment of an exports coun
cil comprising the Secretaries of
State. Agriculture and Commerce and
the food administrator. An executive
order creating the council directs the
Department of Commerce to admin
ister all details of operation.
A victorious conclusion of the war
can come, said the President In a
statement tonight outlining the conn
try's export policy, only by systematic
direction of American trade.
"The free play of trade will not be
arbitrarily interfered with," he said.
"It will only be Intelligently and y
tematlcally directed In the light of
full Information with regard to thai
needs and market conditions through-'
out the world and the necessities ot ,
our people at home and bur armies
and the armies of our associates
abroad."
Members of the exports council will
meet tomorrow to organize and to
recommend lo the President a eerier of
proclamations which will put the law
into active operation.
The first proclamation will requtr
the licensing of all coal and fuel ship
ments including bunkers and Its pur
pose Is to give the Government first
a firm grasp on shipping.
The second will provide a system of
licensing for every class of export to
the European neutral countries and
Is designed to prevent supplies from
reaching Germany.
Proclamations to follow will name
specific, commodities which may not
be shipped anywhere without licenses.
The tlrst commodities to be design
ated will be cereals and other food
stuffs. By degrees, the list will be ex
tended until virtually every export
commodity is brought under operation
of the act.
The proclamations covering coal
and exports to Kuropean neutruls
probably will be Issued this week.
Under an agreement to he made with
the British Government providing
for on International shipping con
trol enforced by hunkering and export
licensing agreements the United States
and Great Britain will have the trade
of the world In their hands to direct
is calculated to help in winning of
the war.
The neutral export proclamation
will be hurried to prevent removal
from the Unites! States of large sup
plies of foodstuffs bought by the neu
trals and now stored In this country
awaiting shipment. The' Government
Is determined to hold neutrals to ne
cessities and In enforcing export reg
ulations virtually will take up the
burden of the British blockade, new
to be enforced from the point of
origin of supplies.
American agents to he sent Into the
neutral countries will keep the clos
est check on re-exports and will be
charged with responsibility for see
ing that American supplies stop be
fore reaching the German border
To a large extent, they will use Brit
ish machinery built up during the
three years the blockade has been In
operation. The export control will
absorb the British system of lettere
of assurance heretofore required of
American shippers before I heir car
goes are permitted to go to the Eu
ropean neutrals.
Every move under the act will ha
made under presidential proclamation
Issued on the advice of the experts
council, which will meet every day
to discuss subjects of policy. The
three cablrret members and-the food
administrator probably will name rep
resentatives to take care of most of
the routine work. These men probably
will be Dr. E. E. Pratt, of the De
partment of Commerce; Lester H.
Woolsey. of tha Slate Department; As
sistant Secretary Vrooninn, of the De
partment of Agriculture, and a rep
resentative of the food administration.
Licensing will be done by the Com
merce Department's bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce, of which
Dr. Pratt is head. The bureau will
be expanded by the addition of about
300 employes. To cover the cost of
operation, Secretary Redfleld will ask
for $150,000 from the President's em
ergency fund and later will ask of
Congress $750,000 to carry the bureau
through the year.
Collectors of customs, who are un
der the Treasury Department, will he
charged with prevenllng unlicensed
cargoes from leaving the country.
A policy regarding food exports
will i urill u IU ini i,y ino iwi a 'j -
mininlratliin 1m he unnroved bv . the .
exports council. After the Depart
ment of Agriculture's food survey has
been made, a program of apportion
ment among the Allied and neutral
countries will be prepared by Her
bert '. Hoover, head of the adminis
tration, and thlg will govern ship
ments. The American food supply,, it Is
made clear, will be used first to feed
this country, second to feed'the Allies
and what is left will go to neutrals.
President Wilson's statement of the
expork control policy' follows;
"It. IsMm porta nt. 'that the country
should understand Just what ts Intended-In
the control of exports
which Is about, to bo undertaken, and
since the power Is vested by the Con
gress in the Preisdent, I can rpeak
with authority concerning it. The
export-, council will be merely ad
visory to the -President.
"T'lere will, of course, be no prohi
bition of exports. The normal course,
of trade will be Interfered with as
little as possible, and. so far as pos
sible, only Its abnormal course direct
ted. The whole object will be to
direct exports In such a way that
they will get first preference where
they are most needed and most Im
mediately needed, and temporarily to
withhold them. If necessary, wher?
they ran h'et he spared.

of foodstuffs and like necessaries is
