During the high wind last Friday a
number Of gentlemen, including Register
of Deeds Chisholm and his force of
clerks and Jimmie Wilkins Of the bank,
went over to Europe in the Chico. It
being Arbor Day in that country as we'll
as in America, the prime object was to
help Tom Brown, the popular landlord
Of that city, set out few small oak trees.
The journey went we'll until a narrow,
wind,swept channel near Emerson was
reached. Now Jack was steering and
Jim was helping, but the wind blew
through their whiskers so fiercely that
those not on duty rushed downward and
were about to lash these poor seamen to
the wheel, when they were suddenly
brought to their senses by few lusty
calls from the engineer. He was vainly
endeavoring to sit hard enough to hold
down the stern-the propeller, meantime
alternately buzzing around in mid air and
stopping with a thud as she wobbled
about in the breakers. Equilibrium was
at last established by Sam Ferrie who
simply sat on the bottom near the center
Hereafter Sam will be ballast. They
planted the trees. Two Emerson
adventures rode back with the party,
having in tow light canoe. In "Chis-
holm Channel" the canoe was upset and
dashed about under the water like a
hooked catfish before it was finally
rescued and bailed out. We haven't
heard yet whether those Canucks arrived
home safely, but they waited for the
wind to go down before starting out from
the pier.

From here to Galveston still remain
evidences of the recent storm sidewalks,
shingles and portions of buildings,
fences, telephone poles, etc. still remain
30 miles this side of Galveston where
washed by the big wave OF last Sept.
and from the car windows | saw hun
dreds Of box cars (off their wheels)

more than 20 miles from where they
were struck. One can also see thous.

Human bodies are still found daily on

We, the undersigned ice dealers of
Alma, wish tn state 10 our patrons that
during the ensuing year ice will be
furnished to private families by the
100 pounds as follows: Ice washed off
and placed in refrigerators at % cents
per hundred pounds; left ar the door
or well curb at 20 cents per 100 pounds.
A liberal discount will be made TO
hotels, restaurants and public places
The cause for this departure is the
growing deposition on the part of some
parties TO demand more ice for the
money, when furnished by the week or
month, than we can afford ~ supply.
and If patrons buy by the 100 pounds
they will get what they pay for and
we will get pay for what we sell.
