The Ice Crop.

The harvesting of ice by the dealers on
pleted, making q short season, which has
generally lasted until nearly or quite to
March. Only six companies were at work
this winter and the quantity Of ice
harvested was rather small. Fifty
thousand or 60, 900 tons of ice was carried
over from last year in the various houses
on the river. Those who have harvested
a crop have obtained a spledid quality OF
ice from IS to II inches in thickness, and
it has been housed in excellent order.
The work has given employment to many
men but not a. many as in some years
past. Most of the harvesting has been
finished but there will be soma outtin g
for short time yet.
The quantity which will represent the
Penobscot river harvest for 1897 will be
about III, 900 tons. divided about as fol-
lows: Dirigo, $4,000; +. W. Aver & Co. 1,
20, 600; C. 6. Stems Company, $4,000;
ARCTIC, 1000; Orrington, $4,000; D.
Sargent's Sons, ~. 0O0 There ia no boom
in ice this year as the conditions away
have been favorable for obtaining an ice
crop.
The prospects on the Hudson are al
ways carefully watched by the Maine
dealers, and with light crop there, as
sometimes happens, there would, Of
course, be rush in this state to put up
ice, as there is demand for just about
20 much each year and somebody must
supply. Harvesting has been going on
the Hudson this winter and the outlook
Is that there will be no especial shortage.
The ice on the Hudson is reported to
have attained a thickness of twelve or
more inches and the experts say they
don't want 1t any thicker for expeditions
and profitable gathering, nor for handling
and marketing. The quality at most
points is said to be excellent. Nearly
every house IL empty and about 1000, 600
tons will be gathered on that river this
season if the weather permits. President
Morse of the Consolidated company,
which now controls nearly every store
house on the river, says his company has
a total storage capacity of 8, zoo, 900 tons
in about eighty different houses
On the Kennebeo considerable quaint
ty of loo of excellent quality ia being
harvested. 1t is from "a to II inches in
thickness. Most of the houses elung the
Kennebeo are more than half filled with
ice now.

THE WASHINGTON COUNTY ROAD.
The visit of party of New York and
Philadelphia capitalists to Bangor within
week past, and their subsequent trip
into Washington county in company with
Contractor James Mitchell, VINO il build
ing the Shore line road, may turn out to
be one Of the most important things
which has happened In this section of the
world for long time. The visit was
conducted with the greatest care and
even the newspapers of the country were
not aware that any great deal Was going
ON, now, but there Is posi- bility that is
startling.
1t appears that Mr.. Mitchell took this
party Of rich men into the country, that
they might look over the country, and
see what progress has been made upon
the construction of the Washington
county railway line. The mem bers Of the
party form the foundation Of one of the
most powerful railway syndioates In the
country, and they will take hold of the
enterprise and complete the line II the
county turns out to be what they have
heard it is. fs&
They have not yet made any definite
proposition. as it is understood, except
ing that, if the repres entation of the
situation and Of the condition of Wash
ington county are true. they will take
the road at once and build it through to
Ellsworth as soon as the frost is out of
the ground next spring.
THE syndicate is immensely rich.
Whether or not it will hold the road after
it's completion is not stated. 1t is given
out authoritatively, however, that no
local capital will be asked for. If the
representations are true the road will be
completed without any moro demands
upon the State of Maine or its people and
will at once be put into running condi-
tion.-Bangor Commercial.
