r. E. Whitney recently purchased the |
north end Of the island at the mouth of
Steamboat slough, which gives him pos
session of the entire island. The island |
is connected with the mainland by a |
long bridge which the proprietor re-
Gently built across Telegraph slough. |
The work of dyking it in is proceeding |
az rapidly as possible. One of the larg-
of the dams was carried out about two
weeks ago. Several large and deep |
sloughs to cross has made it very ex-
psnsiye TO dyke and filling up the num-
srous small sloughs will add still great
Or expense before the land is under cul. |
tiVation, but when once improved it /
will be one Of the most valuable ranches |
on the hats. Mr.. Whitney has shown |
great pluck and enterprise by attempt
ing to improve the island and he merits
and viii no doubt meet with success in
the venture. We understand he expects
to move his well appointed dairy and |
fine stock to the new place as soon as lie
gets things in shape.-Mdil.
