NO MAINE ICE THIS YEAR.
THE TRUSTS METHODS OF KEEPING
PRICES AT A HIGH LEVEL.

Bangor Ne. Feb Is CSpeciaD.-At this time
OF the winter the ice harvest IN Maine Is usually
far advanced. and sometimes completed. but
this season not pound has been cut, nor have
any preparations been made fo- harvest In
fact. II IS as good settled that no ice of any
account viii be cut IN Maine this winter. and
none at all on the Penobscot and Kennebec. the
two great ice rivers. In consequence OF this
there is ideness instead of work FOR several
thousands Of men who until this year have al
ways found employment in hIling the Maine
houses.
This condition Of affairs has been brought
about by the so-caIIed Ice Trust. which has
within the last few years obtained control or
absolute ownership Of about 81 per cent OF the
ice privileges on the Penobscot and Kennebec
rivers. and which now. having a plenty Of ice
on the Hudson neglects the Maine fields. whose
crop is not needed. II is the policy OF the
trust. understood here. 70 hold the Maine
fields in reserve a source of supply in those
years when the Hudson crop fails. but not 20
harvest any Tee in Maine long there IS q
plenty for the eOmpany's purposes on the Hud-
son. Having practical control OF the supply Of
ice for New-York City. the trust ought 70 be
able also TO control the price, and It is likely
that NeW-Yorkers will learn next summer the
difference between big crop with free compe-
uLiOn and q restricted crop. all IN the hands
Of one concern
On the Kennebec River are houses whose ss-
gregate capacity is about 100000 tons. and on
the Pen0bscot about 9O1O0O tons could be stored
az Bangor. with other large quantities at points
near by. on the coast at such places e Rock
port Boothbay, Horse Island Harbor and Sar-
sentvilIe probably 100000 tons more can be
stored thus making Names normal house ca
pacty about 100000 tons which could be in
creased indefinitely should occasion require and
circumstances permit. on the Kennebec there
remains of last years crop about 100000 tons,
and on the Penobscot about 5000 tons. This,
with what Will be cut by independent operators
along the coast. Will make the States total stock
OF ice this year not over 5OO.bo tons, most Of It
old and subject 10 20 per cent shrinkage in ship
ping Thus Maine viii have less than One-rhird
OF her usual ice crop this Year. and II is doubt
ful II much OF that viii be called for IL is not
the policy OF the trust 10 handle any Maine ice
so long as the Hudson supply is barely sufficient
70 meet whatever demand may exist at the prices

The sale II the ice privileges the Name
rivers 10 the trust is ROW greatly deplOred. but
Il ! too late. All the best privileges are now
controlled By the trust, and the men who sold
out have no desire 70 go into the business again.
The haryesters are idle the houses are neglected
and the machinery rusting and the big schooners
that bring coal 10 Maine next summer Will have
