The statement now going the rounds Of
the press IN which a Now York icemsn
claims to be able to purchase all the Msine
ice he desires at three dollars per ton, is
making our dealers laugh because they are
shrewd enough to figure bit for them
selves and thus arrive at the exact state of
affairs In conversation with an icemsn
in this city, who has bought aud sold as
much ice as any man in Maine during the
present season, that gentleman said
There isn't pound Of ice on this rver
that is merchantable that can be bought
in any considerable quantity for three dol
lars per ton today. l will give any man
who will tell me where such ice can be
bought at those prices, $1,000 in clear cash
aud be glad to do it. The condition of af-
fairs. at the present time 10 against such
preposterous idea. Let ne review the situ-
alton a bit. At the first of jan
uary, there we're nine States besides
New York which were bare Of
ice, viz; Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and the
District Of Columbia. These States have
an aggregate population of Ii, 600 600 peo.
pie. Now Maine. New Hampshire. Yer
mont, the Canadas and the lakes have cut
only 1900, 900 tons of ice, but for the ssie
of argument let US call It G 100000 to COW
er every pound put up in out of the way
places. The cities of New York and
Brooklyn consume alone 5000. 900 tons, or
one half that amount. The remainder Of
the State requires another million aud that
leaves but two million tons of ice for the
other nine States with their Is 900. 900 peo-
pie. Give them the benefit Of cold sea-
sou, of q one-third decrease in the con-
sumption and of the ice made by machinery
and il will take every ton Of ice harvested
to supply the necessary demand. Ice
is bound to sell and at good
prices. There 10 no use in talking; they
cannot sell lover the bridge" in New
York for o.. price they are now asking,
and come out Of the operation whole.
They buy their ice at three dollars per ton
here. il they can. 1t costs them sl.50 per
ton to get il to New York. They have
from so to IS per cent. waste in tEsnsporta-
ton. and then expect to make something by
the transaction. 1t can't be done. think
eyerv pouud of ice in Maine vii. be shipped
however. and will bring . good, fair price
Here 10 little question which would like
the New York man to answer. II in the
cold season Of 1889 il took $500. 600 tons
{, supply the cities Of New York and
Brooklyn, With their 2 500, coo people. how
far will the 6 6.Oo0. 200 tons harvested thi,
year 20 with the 1o.oOo, 600 people in the
States mentioned?"

Indications are that the present will be
an important summer for our town. The
change by the rail oad company, which
brings the southern terminus of the &C
commodstion train route to South Gsrdi-
diner instead Of Gardiner Is looked upon
as being . sure guarantee that real estate
will take an upward turn and that there will
be an unusual amount of building done
The saw mills are all running on full time
and with big crews, the pulp mill will be in
operation in few weeks and the general
business of the place is excellent. Our
people believe that South Gardiner is
bound to make . substantial growth this
Summer and are ready to do their part to
assist in the work.

The work of putting new steel rails on
the Maine Central road from Vassalboro to
Wsterville 10 already well advanced, all the
distance having been covered except from
the middle Of the bridge over the Kenne-
bee to the Waterville station, and this will
be finished soon. A part of the old rails
will be used in laying the double track be-
tween Gardiner and Augusta. An im-
mense amount of work is done by the Sec
ton men on the Maine Central system
every year. The road-bed is kept in
splendid condition, and by the time the
great tide of summer travel sets in upon
Maine, there will be very few lines in the
country upon which the travel will be
smoother than upon the Maine Central.

The soldiers monument in Winslow,
which was erected last year by the town,
at an expense of about 81, 900, being set up
on the Point, near the railroad, and close
to Fort Halifax, is to be removed to q site
on the hill, just above the cemetery. A
committee was chosen q. the last town
meeting to attend to this matter, and it was
the intention to have the monument moved
before Memorial Day but the long contin-
ued bad weather prevented it. The estab-
lishment Of the steam mill in the immedi-
ate vicinity makes this removal necessary.
We presume the old fort will not be dis
turbed as it occupies but little land, on a
corner where it is not in anybody's way
1t is landmark that all should have a
pride in preserving ss long as possible.

Invitations have been issued by the COM
mittee of the Waterville Board Of Trade to
q banquet at the Elmwood Hotel on Friday
evening of this week, June goth at 8
o'clock. One hundred and fifty plates will
be laid and the invited guests will include
presidents of the various boards of trade in
Maine, the president of Colby University.
the local clergy and representatives of the
press. The committee having the matter
in charge comprises o. G. Hall, z. S.
Head, N. Meader, c. E. Matthews and
F. Redington, and it is safe to say that
nothing will be left undone by them which
may be necessary to the success of the oc-
casion. 1t is hoped and expected that new in
terest will be awakened by this social event
in all the work which the Board of Trade
has been organized to promote.
In years past the June term of Superior
Court has been rather sn insignificant affair
little business being done except to con-
tnue cases. Oftentimes an adjournment
has been reached in three or four days.
But since the court came to Waterville.
and notably this year, the June term is run
for business. Already several verdicts
have been rendered by the jury number
of cases have been assigned for trial. and
still others are to be tried that have not yet
been assigned. From what can be gather
ed it is not likely that the jury will be dis
charged before the early part of next week,
and after that several cases will be heard
by the court. Judge Hall is winning gol-
den opinions on all sides by the dignified
manner iu which he presides over his court,
the impartiali.y of bis rulings the clean
ness of his instructions to the jury, and
the uniform courtesy bestowed upon every
one with whom he is brought in contact.
