TEFFT.

Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schrader autoed to Wheatfield Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Langdon and Mr. and Mrs. Warren J. White, of Wheatfield, visited relatives here Sunday. The lecture given by Supt. Allen, of the big dredge, at the church Saturday evening was fairly well attended and his talk on the Panama canal was very interesting. W. O. Nelson has opened up a photo tent at the bridge, where you can get your picture taken Sunday. Mr. Nelson also has taken many views of the big dredge and scenes of work at different points. The bridge across the Kankakee river is being removed this week to let the big dredge through and it is understood that a large number of visitors will be at the bridge next Sunday afternoon to see the big dredge. We understand that the dredge employes will work on Sunday afternoon in order to let sightseeing folks view, the machinery while in motion. Mr. Allen, who has been superintendent of the work of constructing the big dredge and looking after the contractors' interests in the deepening and straightening the Kankakee river, is 1 expected to leave here this week with his wife for the exposition at San Francisco. Mr. Allen was identified in the engineering work of the grounds of the exposition. Mr. and Mrs. Allen have made many friends in this vicinity during their sojourn the past winter.
