WILL MEET THE DEMAND.
Local Company Promises to Keep Up
Supply Of Ice.

The American Ice Company, which sup
plies the bulk OF the ice used in this city,
has made preparations to secure enough
Ice from the Maine fields to make I'D the
daily difference between the output Of the
icemaking plants here and the consumption
in the hot days Of July and August, when
the demand Is at its heaviest, and Mr. Sam
uel A. Kimberly, the local manager Of the
American Ice Company stated to a Star
reporter this morning that his company
would see that there was no deficiency in
the supply. The company this year has. he
says. to pay considerably more for Ice than
In previous years, but there will be no adj
vance In prices to householders.
They will be served with Ice at forty
cents! per hundred pounds, the. rate that
has been charged in the city for several
years past and the rate to the wholesale
dealers will be twenty-five cents per hun
bred pounds. Mr.. Kimberly expects the
rates will remain unchanged throughout
the summer.
As was stated In The Star several days
ago the schooner Alice Holbrook, with 1900
tons of Ice aboard. has sailed from the
kennebec for this city. The big four-mast-
ed schoon Van Brunt IS on the Kennebec
loading 1890 tons of Ice for this city. In
addition to these vessels the barge Idaho,
which will carry 2.1oO TONS the schooner
Cox & Green $50 tons, the schooner Fran
ces M. 1.4O0 tons. have been chartered
within the past two or three days and
should before the end of this week be load
ing ice on the Kennebec, or at some point
In Maine, for this port.
This fleet will bring 1850 tons Of Ice,
and all should be here and unloaded be-
fore the middle OF July. This supply.
with what is being turned out daily by
the plants whose output Is controlled by
the American Ice Company, will last
about twelve days, but before 1t Is ex-
hausted other vessels will be arriving
here with cargoes of ice to meet the de-
mand. ,,44
1t Is stated that there Is on hand at sew
eral Of the ice plants of the city supply
large enough to last two weeks or longer.
SO that before the supply on hand Is ex-
hausted the ice company officials say they
will have plenty Of natural ice on hand
to make up the deficiency between the
output OF the ice factories and the demand.
From the statements made by Mr.. KIM
berly to The Star today there seems to be
but little danger OF any serious shortage
in ice in this city during this summer.

Is less trouble to sow such a crop than 1t
Is to hoe the weeds. and there are no bad
after effects. Aim to plant in each plot

feet, and forking three feet more. More
