viewed the results accomplished by this
dredger, which is marvel of inventive
genius. Operations have now been pro-

seven miles of levee between thirty and
forty feet wide and eight feet high have
been constructed. The dredger is operated
by four men only. At the present time it is
at work on land belonging to Senator John

marsh lands, of which there are thousands
of acres, is looked forward to as one of the
greatest and most beneficial undertakings
ever lnaugurated in this valley, and Pless'
dredger insureS its success.
