Scipio, May 28
Last Saturday B. L. Robins, Alice Esklund, Ellis Thompson, Hattie Memmott and Blance, Annie and Emma Robins visited the U. B. Dam. It is quite a sight to see the men working as a little girl expressed herself when she saw it. She said "It looks like ants working." There are about 200 teams working, and as many men. At the rate they are working I think there will be no danger of the dam going out.
