PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR REAL WINTER
Heaviest Fall of Snow in
Years for This Time
of the Year.
SNt tWED TWENTY-ONE DAYS
During December. Thursday Night
Coldest of the Year. Good Pros
poets for a Fine Ice Crop.

And still il SHOWS. People are begin
ning to ask themselves the question, will
it ever stop? 1t has showed 2l days dur
ing the mouth of December and the
'heautiful' Is now over twelve inches
deep on the level 1t has been six years
since there has been as much snow on
the ground at this time of the year.
Sleiehing Is fine and those who have logs
and wood TO haul are taking advantage
of It. There has been little or no wiud
and there are 20 drifts to speak of. The
temperature during the month has been
rather mild, reaching the zero mark but
once, and that on Tuesday night of this
week. Various thermometers in town
registered from two to six degrees above
zero Wednesday morning. but several
registering thermometers went down as
low as II degrees below during the hight.
There were 10 days during the month
that the mercury did not get down to
the freezing mark and up until Tuesday
night six above was the lowest mark
Prospects are good for the ice crop
this year Ii is now about nine inches
thick, and n places where the snow has
been kept off good ice Is now being har-
vested. ln places where the snow is
deep, however, there is several inches of
slush on the ice, spoiiing it for inme-
diate cutting. There Is little fear, how
ever, of an Ice famine this year.
In years gone by the amount of snow
that We nov have would have been a
serious handicap to the local railway
service. Not so this year however, and
the X. l.. 5. & c. Co are entitled to
credit for the excellent service that has
been given the public during the stormy
mouth All trains have with but few
exceptions made the schedule time.
The new engine is a valuable addition
to the equipment, although at present
it cannot be used east OF Newbre The
curve under the VI. &. r. r track at
that place is too short to allow the big
engine to pass under.

PIE GOT "CHILI" RECEPTION.

When a lady of mature years and
supposedly sound mind dresses to
spend the day in Kalamazoo, and tinds
upon her arrival there that she has her
dress skirt on wrong side out, one
would naturally suppose that the limit
had been reached. Such is not the
case however Last week one of Paw
Paws estimable ladies', who by the way
is a model of neatness and precision,
made fine mince pie to take to a
birthday party. rhe good lady who
prides herself on her culinary ability
noticed that the pie was not relished as
she had anticipated it would be, and
was somewhat humiliated to lind a
goody portion of it left when she came
to 90 home, and that it had been put in
her basket. % her arrival home an
examination of the pie revealed the fact
that she had used chill sauce instead of
mince meat for filling; which probably
accounts for the chilly reception the pie
received. We now think that, without
exception, the limit has been reached
Those who desire the full particulars
and would dare take the chance, NIGH

veterans of the team are gone and Bill

beach. but the structures which had ap-
peared inviting from the wrecked vessel
were found to be in such state of di-

they decided that some itinerant fisher
man had used the cabins long before.

crew back to the schooner and little
provision in the way of salt pork and
beef and some sea biscuits, not spoiled
by the heavy sea pounding over the ves-

little water. quantity of canvas was
also taken off and with this tents were
constructed and the lonely refugees made
themselves as comfortable as possible.

that they were marooned away from the
track of any steamships. it would be bet
ter to get away from the sequestered land
as soon as possible. This was dangerous
because the wind was always fresh and

break. First Mate Henry Hermann and

The wind was light when the start was

noon freshened to strong breeze. For
tunately the wind was aft and sent them
spinning over the 1OO-mile stretch. but it
raised such nasty sea that Mrs. Walters
