According to Blatchley’s report of Cedar Lake, in the statee’s volume on geology, just out, that body of water is fast drying up and in time will wholly disappear. One-half the depth of the original water remains now and the vegetion will finally make a farm field out of the now famous summer resort. It is noticeble by the oldest residents that his theory is correct, but it will take a number of years yet before corn will be planted in that basin. It is only fed by the rainfall a short distance around, not a stream assisting in aj single instance. Squire J. B. Clemans, of Shelby, was in town today. He reports the sugar beets in that vicinity as looking fairly well now, althongh the former dry cold weather was unfavorable to them. He says there are not less than 1,000 acres 1 in beets on the Brown and Shelby farms and the Brady ranch. Some ; 60 to 100 families of foreigners, mostly Italians and Russians, are j there working in the beet fields. There is no work being done on the sugar factory at present. A start was made quite a while ago, ( but the contractor took all of his' hands to South Bend to rushl a big job he has there. There seems to be no doubt however but that he will get the factory up in time for this seison's crop.
