Cold Weather Wanted In Maine.

BANGOR. Feb. 26-The ice operators on the
Penobscot. who were hoping a few weeks ago
that the weather would continue mild so that
there would be short crop OF ice on the Hud-
son. are now wishing for cold wave about
two weeks long to enable them to get crop
for themselves. The weather in Maine since
Saturday last has been SO warm that good
part Of the snow has disappeared. The ice
fields have softenod under the MONDAY sun,
and operations have been abandoned along the
river. While the warm spell lasts harvesting
may be done In the night time. for the ice IS
too soft to handle during the daytime. The
houses at and below Bangor are not half full,
and the only thing that can save the crop is
streets Of Bangor is over for the present.
