PENoBscoT ICE FIELDS
Are Busy Scenes Just Now-More Men
and Teams Wanted.

Sunday was no holiday for the crews
working on the Penobscot ice fields. At
the Rollins houses in Brewer crew of
40 men was at work putting ice into
the houses. About 5000 tons have been
put into these houses up to Monday.
The ice on the Rollins field is much
better than was expected before the
field was opened. The ice is Is inches
thick and Of first rate quality. There is
no dirt i'm it barring few. cinders on
top and the $4,000 tons put into these
houses will be about as good ice as any
cut on the Penobscot this winter
Thus far the American Ice co. is put
ting ice into only one house. the Ameri-
can house below Lowell & Engel's mill.
Up to Saturday night about $500 tons
had been packed away here. The ice OH
the American field is Of an average
thickness of l. inches and remarkably
clear and free from dirt. The ice is be-
Ing rushed into this house as fast as
possible ana when the work there is
finished the crew will be transferred to
the lower houses of the company.
The American Ice Co. has done moth
Ing on the Arctic and Orrington fields
yet beyond Scraping off the snow. The
Ire on these fields is now from eight to
ten inches thick and what there is of it
Is of very good quality. The American
Ice Co. now has about 200 men and 81
teams at work and is in need of more
men and teams.

TO SETTLE coMsTlTUTioNALtTY.

Over Railroad Rate Question.

Washington. Feb. 1?.-FollOwing a
conference between Attorney Moody
and Speaker Cannon and Senator's
Clapp and Deliver. the attorney gen.
eral and Chairman Knapp and Conn
missioner Prouty of the Interstate"
Commerce Commission held a confer
cncc with President Roosevelt today at
which railroad rate legislation was dis
cusscl thoroughly. The effort was di-
rcctcd toward the provisions in the
Hepburn bill regarding appeal to the
courts as to make il certain that the
bill is constitutional and yet. so far as
there is power by law to do SO. to limit
the appeal to what is regarded as con-
Stitutionally necessary.
The President is understood to be-
lievc that MesSrs. Moody, Knapp and
Prouty have worked out satisfactory
provision that is better than that in
the Hepburn bill or i'll the original in
terstate commerce commissions bill,
the only two bills hitherto laid before
Congress which the President has on
that point felt at all satisfied.
