Sternbergs Secure Big Contract For Dredge Ditch In Iowa.

C. H. Sternberg & Son have secured a contract for a dredge in the southwestern part of lowa, near Nebraska City, Neb., and are moving their large dredge that was used in the construction of the Hoagland ditch in White county out there to do the work. The dredge is being loaded at Monticello and will require at least twelve cars or five more than were required to transport the dredge used in the upper Iroquois work, *to Kewanna. The dredge will be shipped from Monticello via St. Louis and Kansas City. It is the intention of E. G, Sternberg to establish his home nearer his work, probably at Council Bluffs and himself and wife will start there in about three or four weeks. They have made many friends in Rensselaer during their four years residence here and all will regret their removal. The Sternbergs are leaving their large dredge used in the construction of the lower Iroquois and the Howe ditch in the river near the mouth of the Howe ditch, with a view of using it for the construction work on the lower Iroquois if they get the contract after the ditch is ordered, and for the completion of the Iroquois contract below Rensselaer, where the rock is not yet removed.
