The harvest of ice from the river at
this place is apparently very good.
The Northwestern road has shipped
some $50 car loads of ice to Sleepy
Eye and Tracy the past week. This
ice is put up by the management Of the
road for the use of the refrigerator
cars, and this is the first year that it
has been gathered from this point.
Formerly it was taken from Waseca.
Word has been received from Einar
Hoidale, who is at present in Spokane
to the effect that he is greatly pleased
with conditions as he finds them in
that part OF the country. While he was
in Canada, some distance north of the
international line, he witnessed ball
game. The weather was so mild that
there were more than thousand peo-
pie out to see the game. About that
time we were all keeping as close in
doors as possible to prevent freezing
our ears, but then there is nothing to
complain of in the condition that have
prevailed here this winter.
