Ice Harvest in I
Full Blast
The" ice harvest commenced last
Saturday. A good quality is being
obtained at tbe dam a mile and a
half above town. It runs all the
way from five to eight inches in
thickness.
Ed Smith has a contract to put
up 500 tons. He has six day and
six night teams at work. He has
fixed a flume so that the ice is car
ried from the cutters to the wagons
without further handling. The
contrivance not onlv expedites
the work of gathering but material
ly reduces the cost of putting it up.
To the Public.
Commencing' Monday, Pec. 18, and
until after Christmas, my store will be
open evenings to accommodate those
who cannot do their shopping during
the day. Mua. I, Miciikl.

there comes bad weather we have
plenty of hay on hand to feed."
Range Cattle
Wintering Fine
J. F. Houston of Roberts was in
for supplies the first of the week.
He says that the winter has been
fine for stock so far; couldn't be
better. Stock looks fine. The
moisture in the fall gave the grass
a good start and as there is less
stock on the range than usual it
has had a chance to grow.
