The operation of the big dredge is
a huge aucceaB a* a grade raising and
marsh filling process as is amply evi-
denced by the large amount of sand
thar big dredging machine has thrown
out within the past thirty hours. .
Early this morning citizens were
down town in large numbers to wit-
ness the accomjrtishment of the dredge
overnight and the many expressions
of approval and satisfaction that were
heard showed the people of the city
are as a unit in the great work that
has been undertaken.
The dredge threw the first sand yes-

which had escaped with the flowing
water that settled on the low prop!
The real estafe market the past
month has shown a quietness usual to
that of the spring planting months,
when all the planters are busy with
their crops and the business men are
ending the year's business and fiscal
year.
Now that the planting season is
nearly over, matters In the realty sit-
uation are expected to loom up and
several good transactions are In sight,
though at present The Leader is not
authorized to make any publ:c an-
nouncements.
Compared with last year, May is
about equal In the amount of d( liars
changing hands in transactions, but
the lists of property conveyed from
one part to another does net show
up in equal numbers, thus bhnwlng a
tendency to maintain high prices for
Orange dirt.

the latter part pf the month are
