AS result Of the recent wild weather the
/ Kennebec Is open In a number OF places.
| Crossing upon the ice with teams has been
| impossible for some time, and pedestrians
| usually drag boats with than as matter oi
/ safety. The icemen la consequence, are com
| PEELED to remain idle, and the lack OF en-
| plOyment Is quite a deprivation 70 some.
| But when the freeze does come operations
| will have to be rushed In order 10 secure
full harvest, and what Is lost at the hrst OF tne
winter will probably be made up In the last
| Of the season.
