Farmers in parts of Wood county
that do not border upon any body of
water, and as consequence have no
other means of getting ice for their
summers use conveniently, are max
ing preparations to get ice right on
their own farm. Every farmer that
has any low land upon his place, is
digging large reservoir in it, so that
when this artificial lake is complete,
and the ice has formed thereon, they
can cut it this winter and preserve it,,
all without having to 90 several miles
to the river for their ice.

that we have had this fall, a large
number of people from the city took
advantage of the warm sunshine and
pleasant weather to 60 for drives
along the many various pretty and
smooth driveways leading out of the
city. There are a number of these
pleasant drives, along some fine river
scenery and across country, some of
which are not appreciated by those
who have seen them so often that
they have become common sights.
One OF the finest drives in the central
part of the state is along the Biron
road and along the Port Edwards
road on the east side of the river. A
number of boats and yachts were out
on the Consolidated pond IN the
afternoon and down river. The last
week has been one of the most
pleasant that many an old resident
can remember for this time of year.
