DRFDGE boat HAS
COMPLETED WORK
The Government Dredge Pascagoula
Has Finished Deepening the Chan
nels Of Two Rivers.

Pascagoula, Miss, Oct. 1S.-The
Government dredge Pascagoula, which
has been dredging here for the last
eighteen months, has finished the
channel in the Pascagoula and Esca-
tawpa rivers as far as the Pascagoula
Northern railroad bridge. She also
removed Instructions in Bayou Cham
mics.
The Pascagoula has done wonderful
work at this place. She deepened the
river channel to twenty-one feet, and
the channel between Beacon c and
Horn Island to twenty-four feet. This
makes it possible for large sea-goins
vessels to go up the river distance
of eight miles to unload and load.
The government has advertised To-
bids for building dock and cutting
slip for the use of government vessels
1t will be 100 feet wide and 200 fee
long. A coaling station will also b
established.
