Says Library 10 Neglected.

Sidney T. Miller. retiring president
OF the public library commission. takes
occasion, In his annual report, TO score
the city for lack Of public spirit IN

sons are these: That the library is
dirty. and thus hard on the books; II
is noisy and thus hard on the nerves
of the library force and students; II
is dark. and thus bad for the eyes; IL
is unventilated. and thus bad Cor the
health; II Is a bad place for fire.

 AN ICE FACTORY
Stock Subscriptions Being Taken Today
 and Much Encouragement Received

There is a movement to put in an ice factory at Prescott, and stock is being solicited today for the new enterprise, MT. N, l., liar mon of Upper Sandusky, Ohio. is at the head of the move and will be associated in the business with Horace E. Bemis general man. ager of the R. & N. w, railroad, which uses considerable ice dur ing the summer in icing their cars for the shipment of the vast quantities of fruit. Another heavy stockho.der in the company will be R. P. Arnold the only local ice dealer in town, as we'll as M. w. Greeson, president of the Prescott Milling Co.,, who will place their plant, valued at ST. GOO in the corporation.
 It is intended to organize a company of S2O,OOO and to pur- chase a plant of ten tons day capacity. A grist mill cotton gin and cold storage will be operat- ed in connection with the plant
 MT. Harmon is anxious to se- cure as much small holdings as possible in order to secure the patronage of the pubic general y and the success attending his efforts today assures a plant and it is expected to start by the first of JulY
 The move is a commendable one and something badly needed here. The amount of ice consumed each year is sufficient to take the entire output of a ten-ton factory and there would undoubt edy be a good profit to the stockholders.
