 H Konold 6 Son are changing three of their big coal bins on their South Front street wharf into ice houses in readiness to receive several cargoes of l ice from Maine. Between the sidings sawdust is being packed in order the better to preserve the ice. William J. Konold expects to leave tomorrow for Maine to arrange for shipping the first schooner load. The company desires to get the ice here before warm weather, so as to save the shrinkage which would result from melting.
 The last time that ice was brought here from Maine was in the spring of 1890 or '91. The Iemingways were un- able to harvest a crop at their pond oW- ing to the mild winter, and a temporary ice house was erected at Robinson's s wharf and several cargoes were brought in. The same season cargoes of ice from Maine were brought to Benedict's wharf on Water street. Ice retailed for high price that summer.
 Speaking of the ice crop, well posted citizen says that mild winter is usu- ally followed by a cold spring and Q cool summer. He says that in conse- quence when there is a small ice crop in the winter the cool summer following results in a limited demand for ice and the dealers are not able to secure in high prices so large a profit as they would were the season warmer. Wheth- CT these conditions are to be realized the coming season remains to be seen.
 Of the twenty horses sent in from Da- kota to Friedels stable nineteen have been disposed of. Another carload is to be received. This is the first season that horses have been shipped here from Dakota.
