Prof. &. X. Sturgis has returned from
a four months sojourn in England,
most of which was spent in London in
musical studies. Mr.. Sturgis is ambi-
tious to perfect himself in his chosen
profession and the advantages he was
able to avail himself of in London will
undoubtedly add TO his proficiency as
a teacher. In the famous Guild Hall
School of Music, under Holland, and
in the Royal Academy of Music, under
Shakespeare, he studied voice culture
and the art of teaching and conducting.
Prof. Sturgis will again take up his
work Of teaching in Port Huron and
his many friends will welcome his
return.
A couple of attaches of the En-
position made hurried visit one even
ing this week to the dredge works on
Mill Creek, which are quite an inter.
eshng sight. The contractors who
have the contract for dredging the
south branch are steadily progressing
down that classic stream at the rate of
about mile month, and are now
near the Lynn cemetery. They have
two crews of men at work, night
and a day gang of six men each, and
the way the dredge heaves out the
mud is IA continual source of astonish-
ment to the natives who visit the works
in great numbers on all days and all
hours. 1t is weird sight at night, es-
pecially dark nights, as electricity is
used in lighting up. It's clear, bril-
liant light can be seen from afar, and
a spectator looking on from a distance
IN the darkness. seeing marsh and
meadow stand out in the clearness Of
MONDAY sun and the great engine
putting, pushing and snorting like
some great monster of the deep, is in
the imaginative mind suggestive of
fairy tales of the past century. This is
an immense undertaking and needs TO
be seen To be understood. The exca-
yations are ON an average of about 20
feet in width and feet deep, making
a bed for large stream of water, while
the farmers along the route contiguous
thereto, feel the heavy burden of its
construction, yet, no doubt, it will be q
great benefit to most of them and will
make the township of Lynn, in time,
one of the richest in the county, for
the land thus reclaimed and otherwise
worthless will be as fertile as can be
found anywhere in our broad domain.
