Float Ice Down RiVer.-The Klaus
Gradien Ice company, which has store
houses in Fishertown, have achieved
quite a difficult feat in floating ice
down the river from East Davenport.
The company began cutting with %
men last Friday, and by noon Monday
had plowed up and floated three large
floats, one about a block by half a
block in area, containing the equiva-
lent of 1000 cakes; another contain
ing 1,400 cakes and a third 600 cakes.
1t was dangerous matter to float
the ice down river with the men on
it and land the big floats securely at
Lagomarcino's landing, but the feat
was successfully accomplished and the
company think they have manifested
their ability to handle an ice crop
under any contingencies.

To improve Hunting and Fishing
A movement has been started among
the sporting men of Davenport for
lettering the hunting and fishing con-

coming interested in the project A
meeting is to be held soon to make
definite plans fol work, such as is
outlined in the following letter,
which is going out TO the sportsmen:
Knowing that you are a lover of
good fishing and hunting, and think
ing that you might want to help us
in our great work of preserving our
game and fish, we ask you to kindly
lend us your support. Our plan is to
buy wild rice and celery seed and
plant it in our favorite haunts. Each
one of us to do cur own planting and
to buy as much as we think we can
afford. And orders for wild rice or
celery seed will be filled at wholesale
prices. We also intend to cut down
