BIG DREDGE CUTTING OUT OLD ZEHNER DAM

Crowds of People Out Sunday To See Floating Machine Now Making One of the Great Ditches of the County---Will Not Dredge Through City

On Sunday hundreds of people went out to see the big Yellow river dredge which had come down the river nearly to the dam. By foot by buggy and auto they kept going all day long. There was not much to see except the big dredge itself, for the water just above the dam was too deep for any dredging to be done. This interesting part of the great work therefore could not be seen. Monday morning the big machine floated down stream and shortly before noon began to dig out the dam. Workmen say it will take three or four days to clean out this old breakwater. The big shovel is eating its way into the work slowly but surely and will be kept at it night and day until completed. The first shovelfuls were dumped into the mouth of the race and the flow of water there was soon stopped and turned into the regular channel. After the dam is out and the water goes down, there will be some dredging to be done above the dam, where the water is now too deep for digging. Although the big dredge-boat takes a draft of about nine feet of water it did not touch the bottom of the river. Through the City. Construction commissioner Percy Troyer has provided that through the city the dredge shall not be used to dig with because it is liable to injure the trees along the river banks. Scrapers will be used for the small amount of digging that will be done through the town. The

work of the dredge will stop at the

INDIANA. FISHERIES.

Figures from the Census Bureau's Latest Special Report on the Industry

Statistics of the fisheries of the state of Indiana are contained in the forthcoming special U.S. Census report on the general census of the Fisheries of the United States for the year 1908, prepared under the direction of Mr. William M.Steuart, chief statistican for manufactures, Census Bureau. The fisheries of Indiana are carried on in Lake Michigan, the Ohio River and its. tributaries, the Wabash, White, and other rivers. The value of the fishery products in 1903

was $223,000; the capital, $74,000; while the number of persons employed was 9S6. The recent development of mussel fisheries has caused a reaction from the decrease in products noticeable in 1899 when the value was only $72,000 and the number of persons employed exclusive of shoremen was 459. Of the total capital invested in 1908, $51,000 was employed in the Lake Michigan district and $24,000 in the Ohio River district. The mussel fishery furnished the bulk of the product. The catch of fish proper was valued at $09,000,

mussels, pearls, and slugs came from the Ohio River district, represent'ni 85 per cent of the total value of the products of that district. The fish product of this district was in value $27,000 and consisted chiefly of catfish, buffalo fish, drum and German carp, ranking in value in the order named. All of the Lake Michigan product was food fish, while in the Ohio River district only 15 per cent of the value represented food fish. The mussel products of the state were valued at $155,000, while the fish were reported as worth $69,000 of which lake trout led with $9,600 in value. The pearls and slugs, of the mussel product, were valued at $74,000 and were obtained by crowfoot dredges. Catfish and bullheads were worth $7,800 in 1908 as compared with $43,000 in 1894. .

WELCOME THEM HOME.

Especially do they remember the poem written by the late Charles H. Reeve of this city and sang whh

great applause by a quartette o

local singers as a part of the pro- sis

pram of Welcome. It seems appropriate at this Decoration Day time to reprint the poem. It is as follows:

Welcome them-home, welcome them home, From carnage of war and the thunder of battle, ' Welcome them home, Welcome them home, The soldier boys honest and brave. March, march, march, for treason it's hideous head was upraising; , March, march, march, the Union to save ere it fall. List to the call, list to thecall, , Who vas it answered from mountain and prairie t f Ready to fight, ready to fall, The soldier boys honest andbrave.

And hark, hark, hark," the muffled drums beating, The flag draped in mourning, and . Hart, hark, hark the volley fired over their grave's, Tells of the dead gone to theirrest Back to their fire sides never returning, Honored they died at their country's behest, Those soldier boys honest andbrave.

Decoration day was an ideal one so far as the weather was concerned. It was as cool and pleasant as anyone could desire, and this made the celebration ceremonies the more enjoyable. Quite a large number of people took part in the exercises at the Armory, in the -parade and at the cemetery. The feature of the day was the parade of 232 school chil dren in the march to Oak Hill, all carrying flags and flowers. They were the rooms of the Washington building taught by Missess S:uthwick, Slough, Pa?e, Pretsman and Wilcox: and of the Webster taught

bv Misses Laura Boss, Stark and Miller. At the Armory the chief attraction was the singing of about eighty of these children, under the direction of Miss McGuire and Miss Laura Boss. Themedl?j, arranged by Miss Boss, and sung at the close of the xercises in connection w'th a flag drill was especially fine and thrilled everyone in the hall to lrglv enthusiasm. These teachers and the children are to be greatly pra'sed for their part in the day's prozrani Judge W. B. Hers presided ovei the ' meeting with his accustomed jovial dignity, and a quartet composed of Mrs. Harry Hohara, MsJulia Yockey, Messrs. Ralph Leonard and A. C. Mortland deixhtel the large audience with their singing. The chairs had been plf.ced to face the north end of the hall instead Of the south, as it has always been, and the school children sat in the balcony a very fine arran?em?nt. The G. A. R. boys and Relief Corps were seated in specially reserved places. Miss Haines delivered Liicoln'g Gettysburg speech, making it full of interest and force. Rev. J. C. Smith made the ad

dress of the day. He laid emphasis on the meaning of the day we celebrated, and gave the soldier who carried the musket the chief praise for the great work done for the country in the troublous days of the Os. At several, points through the speech he was cheered by th veterans who appreciated his remarks. The Plymouth band was out and again delighted the whole crowd with their strains of music, ever welcome on such an occasion as this .
