ICE HARVEST PROSPECTS.
Houses on kennebec and Penobscot Being
Prepared 10 Be Filled.

The season for the shipment of ice
from the kennebec river. as we'll as
other places in the State where the in
dustry is carried on. is drawing to Il
Close, and but few weeks will clapsc
before the shipment of the last cargo
will be noted. Eut though it is late
in the season. there is still good de-
and. and it is now thought that all
the ice will be shipped from the Ken
rebeC river with the exception Of that
in the large house on the site Of the
old Rich houses in FarminSdale. and
in the houses at Hallowell.
The city of Philadelphia uses an i'm
mcnse quantity, and as the local sup
ply which was housed last winter has
been exhausted. all the natural ice
that is used in the city is now shipped
from Maine. Last week. the order re-
Ceived from that city was for 10000
tons. and that for the present week
shows a falling off of 1000 tons.
Shipments on the river are still go
ing on. and at the Cedar Grove houses
the big fve-master w. II. Yerkes.
which was recently launched at Thorn
aston. is taking her first cargo. She
has a carrying capacity of 1000 tons.
and when loaded draws 20 feet of
water. but as the depth of the river
will not allow the passage of a vessel
of that draft. the Yerkes will only
take 1900 or 1900 tons to the city of
brotherly love.
Cases parallel with that of the above
named schooner constitute dilemma
in which the shippers Of ice frequently
find themselves. as the vessels which
can be chartered now run so large that
it is quite a task to find any of suffi-
GENTLY light draft to reach points
above Gardiner and carry cargocs
economically.

An the houses on the river will come
