TWO DREDGES ON CANAL.

The second dredge is now at
work on the City's canal and il
is stated that the third will be
on the ground within a week
and will be digging the water
way toward this city.a
There was some delay in get
ting the second dredge in its
/ position at this side OF the +. q
A. railroad but it was started up
yesterday and 70 md IN excellent
shape for good work. The
third dredge lie on its way to the
same spot and when it arrives the
course of three or tour DAYS it
will be placed alongside OF the
second dredge and together they
will push the canal to the city
line.
The first dredge has been
steadily working its way along
ever since the new contractors
took hold of the matter and it is
almost sure thing that the
City's canal will be finished
some weeks ahead of the time
set for its completion. In fact
it almost might be said that the
end is in sight or it is so certain
that IT is coming that those who
intend to put in factories when
1t is done are calculating on get
ting to work at the proper time.
1t is expected that the Peeb-
les Coulee drainage canal matter
will be satisfactorily arranged in
few days and that work will
20 ahead with that so that this
spring will see the digging
machines at work in dead ear
nest all about the Parish.
The dredging of the Bayou

y and as the weather has been
oropitious the work has ad-
'anced more satisfactorily than
anticipated during the winter
months. 1t would pay any one I
Interested in drainage 10 take a
