Felix Erwin Starts Digging Boyle Ditch—Will Work Upstream.
With a new Bay City dry land dredge, Feflix Erwin, of Fair Oaks, who recently bid in a part of the Boyle ditch, started work this Tuesday morning on the lower end of his job. The start was witnessed by the superintendent, DeVere Yeoman, and his assistant, John Moore. It was made about three miles east of Beaver Lake in Newotn county. Mr. Erwin has taken deep interest in the contract he secured when he underbid a large field of old" dredge men and has fitted himself up for doing a good job, which he doubtless will do.
