THE HEAD OF THE LAKE.
The Bay Is Frozen Up Tighter.
Than the Oldest Inhabitant Can
Remember on April 1---Genera1
Duluth DOings.

Remember on April 1---General
Duluth Doings.
Although it is thought to have little
influence on the opening of navigation
either way, the memory of the eldest
inhabitant goeth not back to the time
when the head of the lake had thus far
more backward spring. The ice in
the bay is apparently as solid as it was
in January, while the canal, which was
open year ago, is without break.
''But it Will make no difference SO far
as navigation is concerned" said Mai.
Baldwin, president OF the chamber OF
commerce, because if the wind comes
about right it may clear the lake in
seven days. can remember readily
one year when the season was early,
and little ice all winter, but navigation.
because of ice drifting down, and the
bay was not open till May. At an
other time, although April l saw solid
ice. April L. saw the navigation season
opened. 1t all depends on the wind"
