companies are cutting this week ice from IL

Men of experience are wanted and few
are without employment. This week
nearly 5000 men and 100 horses will be
employed up and down the river, at the aver
age pay of Sl.50 a day. for man or horse.
An old iceman estimates that nearly or quite
$500, 900 will be paid out by the companies
in harvesting and shipping the ice. Several
companies that commenced scraping have be-
come discouraged and deserted their fields,
rs there will be full supply of ice on the
Hudson, which destroys all hopes Of Kenne-
