Barge invades Quiet
of Wisconsin River

Richland Center, Wis.-Is naviga-
ton to be resumed on the Wisconsin?
Last week that river fOated a large
barge and drawbridges were opened
which had not swung on their hinges
for years. The occasion for the open
ing of river navigation on the Wis
consin was the bringing of 24x60-
foot barge from Dubuque to Prairie
du Sac, where it is to be used as a
free ferry across the Wisconsin river.
The passage of a really worthy
craft up the Wisconsin was made pos
sible by the present high water 1t
occasioned no little excitement and
inconvenience on it's trip. A crew of
bridge carpenters was sent to open
the railroad drawbridges at Avoca and
Spring Green. The barge did not ar
rive as soon as was expected to they
had to wait for it.
Difficulty also was encountered in
getting through some of the wagon
bridges. How the barge is to get over
the dam at Prairie du Sac has not
been announced.
