The big dredge to be used on the Kankakee river drainage contract, is now being built at Dunn's bridge, near Tefft. Some mammoth timbers and a huge amount of lumber will be used in the construction. The two pieces of timber for the “spuds" are each three feet square and sixty feet long. The dredging begins at the Starke county line, two miles east of Dunn’s bridge, and as soon as the big dredge boat is completed and ready for business, which will probably be at least two or three months hence, it will dig east to the county line, to which point Starke county has already dredged, and then turn about and come on west down stream.
