ward the feasibility of deepening the
channel of the Fox river from Neenah
to Green Bay, to permit lake going
vessels to reach Lake WinneabagO,
have placed the probable cost at
$22 .0O0,0 900 The figures are based on
2O-foot channel, 200 feet wide. The
channel would be blasted out of solid
rock Owing to the lack of use at
this time the work would not warrant
the expenditure.

fishing. 1t is now expected the Goose
island streams will be restored to
old-time prestige if seiners can be
kept out.
A petition in involuntary bankrupt
cy was filed against the Madison Bond
Co., in u S. district court Wednesday.
The principal creditors are the Lake

B. Chapman and Chester A. LIE Mon.
They charge that the company has
transferred securities in excess of
$500 900 to the Victor H. Arnold Co.
Of Chicago, removing from the state

ferred that the cOmpany's difficulties
affect the validity of any outside Sc
Curities they handled.
