Tears across the plain at sickening

These unparalleled products of

An Unusual Amount Gathered and
Stored Away for Summer Use
-Ofan Excellent Quality.
The Wyoming Stud

Saratoga has been very busy
the past two weeks, gathering its
ice crop. 1t will surprise many
of our people to know that no less
than $50 tons have been harvest
ed and stored away for use dur
ing the coming summer. The
following is a list of those who
will try to keep cool during the
coming season and the amount it
will require for them to do it:
Snyder d Attield, so tons; Z. p.
Andrews. 46 tons; Frank Carroll,
80 tons; j, G. Cummings, 50 tons;
Cluff d Albro, 50 tons; G. b. Ster-
rett q toLs; f. 6. Wolf, 81 tons;
William Turnbull, 30 tons; j. F.
Crawford 20 tons: Z. $. Judd, 10;
Jack Gross, ) tons.
Just previous to the beginning
of the harvest there was consider
able concern about the scarcity of
the crop, but continually, since
the work was begun, the weather
has been cold and the ice has
grown thicker md thicker, until
the last housed measured from
20 to q inches in thickness, and
of a very fine quality. 1t is esti-
mated that nearly twice the usual
amount was harvested this winter.
