ARTIFICIAL ICE Is CHEAP
But It's Price Is Regulated by the Nat
ural Supply.


NOW DIX 1reSS.
A curious phase Of the ice trade is
found In the fact that artificial ice
can be and is produced in unlimited
quantities, and yet the price is regu-
lated by the source of natural supply,
which is scarcely drawn upon The
Ice trade of the tropics is thing of
the past. AS late as 1890 a feet of
ships was engaged in this traffic, car
rying ice all the year round to the
West Indies, to Bombay, Calcutta and
Singapore, and even to the China SEAS
that has now ben driven to seek other
cargoes. The local ice machine has
supplanted the cargo ice altogether
The frozenmeat ships from this coun-
try, from Australia and the River Plate
all make their own ice, and the store
houses have their artificial plants, which
also supply in large measure the To-
cal consumers. In 1890 thirty-fve ships
laden with ice from Maine entered at
the port Of Calcutta. In 1900 there was
one, and since then none at all.
ROckland lake used to cut and store
for summer use in a season $4,000 tons
of ice. This year it stored less than
5000 tons.
There is demand for natural ice be-
cause. paradoxically enough, it melts
faster and more evenly than the arti-
fetal product and will chill an -icebox
or refrigerator more rapidly and effec-
lively For this reason brewers and
saloonkeepers prefer it for the preser-
walton of temperature of beers espe-
cially. It is more expensive at the same
price than artificial ice, because it is
not so durable. Meanwhile the cost
of artificial ice production, after the
plant is established, is reduced approx
imately to 9 cents a hundred pounds.
On the authority of experts, ice could
be sold to consumers at a fair profit
at not to exceed 1912 cents a hundred
weight. 1t is not. The price in New
York is SO cents hundredweight, with
prospect of going higher for reasons
| that have no basis.

ODENDAHL'S PAST EXPOSED
Lived in Winona Many Years with 3
Woman Not His Wife.

WlNONA, M1NS.--In the final disposition Of
the estate of Joseph Odendahl of this city a
peculiar state of affairs regarding his marriage
relations has been brought to light.
Mr.. Odendahl came to Winona from Chicago
in 1871. and made this city his home from tina t
time until his death last August. During all
his residence here up to few years ago, when
she died. woman who supposed to be his
wife resided with him. 1t develops that
she never his wife at all but that his
real wife is still living at Racine Wis.
The probate court has examined the evidence
and being sd tished that the Racine woman was
OdendnhIs legal wife at the time of his deat tn,
was prepared today to enter a final decree
awarding the entire estate, consisting of lot 10,
block IL. Hamtons addition. valued at So 600
to her. However. entry of this decree has been
delayed for month application of the
German consul at St Paul, who desired it held
back until. in the interest of brothers and
sisters of the deceased in Germany he could
personally investigate the claims of the Racine
woman.
The evidence in the probate court as to this
woman being the legal wife of Mr.. Odendahl
at the time of his death is pretty conclusive.
There Is the sworn statement of Michael and
Barbara Einhorn to the effect that thirty seven
years ago in Chicago Odendahl boarded with
them for two years until the big fire in 1871
after which he came to Winona. Accompanying
this statement is a picture Of Odendahl as he ap
peared at that time. showing also the woman
who now claims she his wife.
