ICE HARVEST rs ON
Men Begin to Scrape the Snow
From the Ice and Cutting
Will Soon Commence
MEN RUSHING TO LAKE R Gl0N


Kenosha county. It began this morn
ing and while the men in charge of
the harvest have not started the work
of cutting the frozen product of the
lakes great gangs Of men we're put to
work on all of the lakes this morning
pected that if the weather holds good
until tomorrow morning ice Of thick
ness of nine inches will be cut. Cars
have been stored at the lakes to send
the ice at once to Chicago to relieve
the small famine that exists there.
The boarding houses on all of the
lakes were opened this morning and
about seven hundred men were
brought up from Chicago and taken
out and left at the different ice cutting
points along the western division Of
the Northwestern. Two thousand
men are held in reserve by the
Knickerbocker Company and it is ex-
pected chat special trains will bring
them up oniWednesday or Thursday.
The managers of the ice companies
are decidedly anxious as to the sup
ply Office for nextaaseason and as soon
as the ice is ready to cut the lakes
will be crowded with men in order to
get in as muchlice as possible.
The harvest this year is even later
than lastsyearsand some of the mana
gers are beginning to fear that it will
be impossible to get the houses filled
this year, The Chicago companies
have already begun to make arrange
ments for emergencies for next sea-
son and Houses up in the Dakotas and
even IN Canada are being filled with
ice to supply the ice trust in case the
Kenoshasharvest is insufficient. On
account: of the warm winters, the
paniesahav abandoned all of the
houses in northern Indiana and it is
claimed that.most of the supply must
come from the lakes in southern Wis
consin.
The managers Of the trust have as
yet nadesno,statement as to the price
OF ice during the coming season, but
it is certain that the price will not be
less OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES seasons. Some
contractslhavetbeen made att lower
rate, but these we're with large con-
sumers andEthe small consumer will
pay for ice9 lat 1.-THE same or higher
rate than last season.
The new Kenosha ice company is
waiting anxiously for good ice to fill
the new house at Twin Lakes and
Manager Scott, who is on the field, is
ready to begin work. The big house,
with capacity sufficient to supply
all the demands of Kenosha people
for next season, is all ready for the
coming of the ice. Manager Scott
will not begin the cutting until the
ice has reached thickness of at least
twelve inches. The amount to be put
up by the local company is so small
that the managers believe that they
will be able to.take the risk of waiting
for the colder weather. The house
can be filled with a week of cold
weather, and Manager Scott believes
that this is certain to come before the
first of March and that by waiting
for it he will be able to assure his
customers a better quality Of ice.

IF figures do not lie and in this in
stance there is every reason to believe
that the figures are substantially COR
rect, the statistics on the pay of
teachers prepared by Supervisor of
Assessments Harrison are going to
exert big influence in the campaign
for an increase in teachers salaries
now going on all over the state. Mr..
Harrison shows that the pay of teach.
ers in this state, especially of those in
the lower grades and country schools,
is surprisingly low. The statistics
gathered by Mr.. Harrison and the re-
port which he will make to the 1egis-
lature may not result in the passage
of his bill, modelled on the Ohio law
in regard to teachers salaries, fixing
the mininlum wagesof school teachers
in Wisconsin at forty dollars month
and basing increases of aalaryson the
results of teachers examinations, at
this session of the legis1atures as he
hopes, but his report and statistics
will undoubtedly be given wide pub
licity and will give the general public
much better idea than they have
had heretofore of the substantial
grounds upon which the teachers base
their claims for recognition. AS an
absolutely disinterested witness, Mr..
Harrison has made out a good case
for the teachers. On his showing the
state cannot expect to get the best
teachers and retain them on the sal
aries paid.

Stupendous Wafer Supply Scheme

Three OF the lending hydraulic en-.
gineers of the country have recently
reported fayorably upon what is prob
ably the most daring municipal waite
supply scheme that has ever been pro-
jected. We refer to the proposal,
which we understand has every pros
pect Of being successfully prosecuted,
to supply the city Of Los Angeles aud
the surrounding district with an abnn-
dant supply Of water drawn from th.
distant Sierra Mountains. The scheme
involves, first, the construction OF a
conduit 22d miles in length, capable Of
supplying the city with quarter Of a
billion gallons Of water daily; second,
the construction OF large storage reser.
yoirs, a single one of which will have
the enormous capacity OF IS billion
gallons OF water; and lastly, the deyel-
opment Of total OF 10000 horse
power, available for six days OF the
week and nine hours OF each day, the
greater part of which can be developed
within distance of IS miles OF the
city. The total cost OF this very ambi-
tious undertaking will be about s25.-
0oO, 900. The guarantee for planning
this work on scale OF such magnitude
is TO be found IN the certain and very
large income 10 be derived from the

source Of constant worry solved the
problem by using strips Of plain or

ways looked fresh and clean, while
the loss Of one Of them did not mean

hair ribbon had disappeared.

were not used for dress up occa.
