Mr.. Joel Yutzy, of Somerset county,
Pa, in company with Mr.. Norman VIII
helm, of Sand Patch, spent Tuesday and
yesterday in Oakland on business with
the Board of School Commissioners.
Mr.. Yutzy's previous visit to Oakland
was made focty-two years ago when he
and his five brothers rode through the
country horseback and paid their rela-
tive, the late Jacob YutZY, at Sunny
side, visit of few days. At the time
Oakland was hamlet Of a few houses
and the country roundabout a wilder
ness to a great extent. Mr.. Wilhelm is
native Garrett countian being son
Of Mr.. Aaron Wilhelm, and moved to
Pennsylvania from District No. 9 a few
wears ago.
For the first time within the memory
Of Oakland's most ancient citizens the
present winter has been the most re
markable, in one instance at least. that
being the utter failure Of the ice crop.
Heretofore ice has been harvested in
great quantities from the streams, ponds
and lakes in and about town, but this
season not one of the more than twenty
five or thirty ice houses in Oakland has
been filled or even partly 50. the result
being that the consumers of ice will
have to depend on the manufactured
article the coming summer. To meet
this emergency contracts have already
been made by one or two consumers
with out-of-town manufacturers. Mr..
Henry Lauer. of the Oakland Bakery.
has received the first of five car loads
contracted for by him. The shipment
is being stored in the Frantz Hotel
house and additional houses win be
secured by Mr.. Lauer to accommodate
later conSignments.
