FLOATED DREDGE OUT IN A FIELD

High Water Proved Good Thing for Dismantling Process—lll Wind That Does No One Goed. It Is an 111 water like on ill wind that benefits none. This was proven true when G. C. Jenkins, foreman for Chas.. Sternberg, superintended the floating of the big dredge boat out of the channel and into a field, where it was anchored to await the receding of the waters. The dredge is to be totally dismantled as a preparation for reconstruction on a much larger plan. To have torn It to pieces while In the river would have been a difficult task, but on dry land a comparative easy one. When the waters go down the boat will rest on thd bank, although it is now floating In about 8 feet of water. Reconstruction will begin on the enlarged boat as soon as dismantling is completed and Foreman Jenkins is taking advantage of the high waters to complete the plans for the big boat. 17-inch Embroideries, 10c the yard.
