fitting that this birch bark record of the

pleasure of this gathering has been very
greatly enhanced by the cordial and hos

citizens of Council Bluffs, for automobiles
and mreet ear transportation over the beau

tainments at Lake Manawa. In view of
nredae starts Work.
Alderman Wefcvor was feeling particu
larly happy last evening. Work on dredg
ing Indian creek was begun yesterday aft
ernoon and although but llttls was accom
plished, a start was made. A space about
tho length of the scow was -dug out and
everything Indicated, so Commodore
Weaver stated, that the dredge would
work satisfactorily. Captain Gilbert and
Lieutenant Tounkerman were on hand to
witness the starting of the Work, Which
will be done under their supervision.
Commodore Weaver became so interested
In watching the dredge at work that he
inadvertently stepped to the prow of the
scow and got mixed up with the dipper
after It had scooped up a load of sloppy
slimy mud from the bottom of the creek.
The mlxup did not d&mago the machine
any, but the commodore looked is If he
had been taking a mud bath. - Work had
to be temporarily stopped- while the gang
scraped the dirt from the commodore's
clothes.
The rain Thursday night washed part
of the dam, but this was repaired by noon
yesterday. Now that the dredge has got
to work no more, damming will be neces
sary unless it might be that the machine
meet with a mishap and lead to some
heated language on the part of tlve com
modore and hds crew.
