North Judson News: Jacob Keller was in Lacrosse yesterday attending a meeting of the board of directors of the Kankakee Reclamation company. The occasion was the election of officers, the present officers being re-elec-ted. The question of extending the work farther west was also discussed and it now looks as though the work on the Kankakee might be carried on to the state line if not farther. Mr. Kelley, one of the leading lawyers of Valparaiso, was present forming plans to carry the work on west of the Reclamations company’s boundary. Mr. Kelley is an engineer, consequently he can intelligently look over the situation. John Brown, of Crown Point, one of the leading bankers and land owners of that section, was also investigating.
