HOPES OF THE KENNEBEC ICEMEN-N0 class
OF men scan the daily weather report with
keener interest than the icemen OF the kenne-
bee We say the icemen of the kennebec for
they are fast becoming recognized as the bo-
nanza kings in the business. Up and down the
a Tiy al
are being made by the thirty IL more companies
ana by private individuals who expect to cut
and stow large quantities of the staple this sea-
son. Inc kenEebeckers feel assured that the
crops In the middle western and southern
states Will be as decided failures as were those of
1870 80, while for themselves they feel equally
confident of securing an abundance OF the best
ice in the world. Ifeverythng turns out to be
favorable it is thought that fully 5000 men and
800 horses will be employed on the Kcnpebec
this winter. ami that at least .25O. 900 tons of
ice Will be housed and stacked. Day by day the
chances CT securing good crop on the Hudson
and other rivers to the west Of us are growing
beautifully less; yet We advise the down casters
not to get excited There's no telling what NAV
happen.-Boston Post Dec q.
