Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 January 1907 — THE BIG DREDGE IS COMING. [ARTICLE]

THE BIG DREDGE IS COMING.

The big Sternbergdredge,which has been throwing dirt on the main channel of the big Iroquois ditch for some five months past, is. now south of the Hallagan bridge, one mile north and one mile east of Rensselaer, which it passed Sunday night, and will soon reach the Monon tracks. It is expected to keep the dredge going all winter, unless it becomes too tremendously cold and causes some delay. At the rate they have been digging for the past several weeks the dredge ought to reach Rensselaer in March or early April. The smoke and whistle of the dredge can now be seen and heard from town.
